'Crackling~Wow~~Wow~~'The raindrops that were still the size of beans just now turned into a pouring rain, and it was not uncommon for it to become a downpour after a while.

"It's terrible, why is it raining on the grassland?" Zhu Fan hid in the carriage with his brother, looking out through the glass window.

The grass is growing fast, and last year's hay was still partial, and this year's grass is more than two feet tall.

The key grass is long in a row, and it is better to walk on horseback, but people walking in the grass are like walking in the thick snow, and they can't take a step.

Before noon, the wind blew, and the clouds gathered together, and everyone reacted fast enough, but they still didn't have time.

The army was mowing grass and digging drainage ditches, and today it is necessary to set up camp here, but there is no need to build fences and keep horses away.

However, in order not to be submerged, it is necessary to pile up the position of the tent.

Under the guidance of the people of Xiaqiu Village, the craftsmen quickly matched the parts, assembled them on a small steam engine, added a wide wheel, and pushed them along.

The steam engine was attached to the sides and front of the car, and the blades swirled and mowed the grass against the ground.

The large steam engines were all left behind, and they could not be taken away, the medium-sized ones were brought with twenty emergency ones, and the small ones were a bunch.

The small ones can make puffed food, and the livestock left behind are raised by the herders, and the grass is fed along the way.

In the absence of concentrate, only extruded feed can be provided.

Now the cattle have to contribute, some of the lawn mowers are pushed and walked, and some of the steam engines are pulled by horses and oxen.

The steam engine is connected to the cultivator, and the trenching speed is fast, especially the grass roots that are not easy to shovel, and the machine has great strength and is directly planed out.

Zhu Fan watched everyone work in a hurry, afraid that someone would get gonorrhea, so he used a simple straw coat and hat to let the rain penetrate.

"It is more difficult to march and fight than this, and it is no wonder that the army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty suffered a loss in the face of flintlock pistols."

Zhu Biao frowned like his younger brother, he was uncomfortable, too damp.

When the soldiers were mowing the grass, the position of the legs was all wet, and they didn't dare to pull up the trouser legs.

He found that everyone was struggling to walk, and when the two armies met together, the bows and arrows and the muskets immediately lost their effectiveness, and it was easy to trip in the grass on horseback.

The teams on both sides charged, the flintlock pistols had a long range and strong penetrating power, and the Northern Yuan had to lie down in one face.

"Your Highnesses, the first tent over there has been set up, and let's go in and discuss things with the generals?"

The lieutenant always observed the tent that was erected, the prince's big tent, and was the first to get it out.

A patch of grass is cleared, the mound of earth dug is flattened, and linoleum paper is spread on top, and a carpet is spread on top of the linoleum paper, so that it is not so damp.

There is not enough linoleum paper, so it can only be supplied for a few tents, and the rest can only settle for a few tents.

"Okay, let's talk about things." Zhu Biao picked up the umbrella, first stretched his arm out of the car door and pressed it, the umbrella opened, he ran to the tent with it, and Zhu Fan followed.

When the two of them entered the tent, the maid had already lit the stove, and a wooden board was placed under the stove, and on top of the wooden board was a large iron basin, and a little water was added to the iron basin to avoid burning the carpet.

At the same time, the ash that falls through the furnace enters the water to reduce dust.

Others set up tables and chairs, and a kettle sat on the stove, waiting for the water to boil to make tea.

In other places, boilers are used to boil water, which can boil a lot at a time, which is more efficient than furnaces.

Xu Da and the others came in, all of them were wet on their bodies and heads, and some people ran to get their clothes, drew a curtain in the corner of the tent, and went in to change one after another.

"General Xu, you were like this when you were fighting?" Zhu Fan took a sip of hot tea, finally felt better, and asked about things.

"Back to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, I can't think too much about it when I fight, I can only fight, the enemy is the same as us, whoever holds on will win."

Xu Da shook his head, how can he have time to cut the grass and dig a ditch first in a war? Just go in, anyway, the weapons on your side are better than the enemy.

It rains so hard that the two sides should temporarily truce and push their side forward.

"At that time, we must have the current things that can scare Beiyuan to death." Lan Yu said with a smile beside him.

He discovered that the steam engine could do anything, mow grass, dig ditches, and use it for cooking, such as dough and noodles.

Boiling water in the boiler is equally important, everyone drinks hot sugar water, it feels less damp, at least warm, drenched in heavy rain and cold, oh, called hypothermia.

"Everyone, take a rest, the newly built tent is arranging for others to rest, eat hot noodle soup today, there is marinade."

The lieutenant saw that the generals had just gone to command, and they were not in a very good state when they came in, so he asked them to sit down first.

They are mainly responsible for arranging the location of the camp, and the team of more than 100,000 people needs to be set up separately, otherwise going to the toilet will be a problem.

Set up the tent and let the uncomfortable people in first, and it will be warm inside.

The cooks are doing it under the shed, there is no need for a tent, and Han Han is already making a halo.

"There's no hurry, we want to eat together." Zhu Biao didn't want to eat first, so it was noon, so stick to it.

An hour passed, and all the camps were set up and the noodles were pressed.

Zhu Wentian and the others entered the prince's tent and pushed a cart with food.

Others only have soup and braised noodles, the prince and the king of Qin want to eat well, the noodles are not in the pot, and there are dishes to drink first.

The rice wine was scalded, and the adults of Xiaqiu Village went to eat in Zhu Zhang's tent next to him, where there were also the palace maids and eunuchs of the Prince's Mansion and the Qin Palace.

The tents of the palace maids and eunuchs were set up next to the tents of the crown prince and the king of Qin, including the guards.

It's not finished yet, so I'll go ahead when I'm full.

The children of Xiaqiu Village took out 20 pieces of glass, two feet square, and found a place on the tent where they could remove the window curtains and put the glass on, so that they could see the heavy rain outside.

Feng Sheng took a sip of rice wine, picked up a piece of cumin mutton, stopped, and looked outside: "Look at this, the rain can fall until midnight, and when you take a rest, you have to continue to dig deep drainage ditches." ”

After saying that, he put the meat in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Zhu Fan took a bite of the green onion leaves soaked in soy sauce, and his nose was comfortable: "I can't eat fresh vegetables when I am in a hurry, and I can't take the ground with me, and when we get to Datong Mansion, the vegetables there should grow, right?" ”

"Planted, it's not like Helin, even if there is a cold spring, the vegetables can be planted for a month, and when they get to the place, they just eat it, except for the Chinese cabbage."

Li Wenzhong knew the situation there, he was an army of the Eastern Route, and he had to be familiar with the crops on and near the road, otherwise the horses in the team would suffer.

"If we had gone over, they would have been harvesting wheat? I don't know if I can bear the cold of spring? ”

Zhu Fan was worried about other people's winter wheat again, and looked at the chief when he spoke, meaning that if it didn't work, what remedies could there be.

"Let's go to the place and talk about it, it's really not good, observe the condition of the river, let's help them plant a crop of late rice."

Li Chang wanted to come to study, and studied with Hanhan, what to do after Datong's wheat was wasted, using a lot of labor and machinery, and seizing the time to plant a crop of rice.

It's late tonight, and the farmer has a bad stomach again, allergies!
