On the ninth day of June, it was very hot in the morning, and it was as hot as last night, and it was even more so when you crossed the beach.

After breakfast, the team began to board the ship, and the fleet of small boats went back and forth between here and Dingliao Duwei.

The steam engine ship is a small boat, but it is not only a steam engine ship, there are wooden oars, when the river is downstream, the wooden boat can go on its own, and when it is against the current, the steam engine boat tows.

There are many things shipped out, but few things are transported in, the Jurchen things are not valuable, and the soap of the Ming Dynasty is valuable.

The Jurchens don't grow cotton in the Northeast, they need cotton cloth and have to buy it from the Ming Dynasty, and they don't have any salt.

The road from here to Dingliao Duwei is not very far, 200 kilometers in a straight line, and 300 kilometers by water.

"Back to Your Highness, this minister knows that during training, fixed targets and moving targets are played, fixed targets are placed at different distances, and mobile targets are dragged by horses."

In winter, the livestock pull the plough to walk the ice, especially after the snow, the ice is the most suitable for the plow, and the livestock can run back and forth once a month.

If you go up and down the mountain during this time, you can set up and hunt......

Inside of themselves, there are blind bears and wild boars, and they have to shoot when they want to finish, or they find a deer, the distance is far away, the bow and arrow can't shoot, and the deer wants to run and fire.

"Captain, do you want to set up more supply points on the road?"

In winter, it is most troublesome for livestock to run long distances for forage, and there is no place to supply them on the road.

The salt money is to save these, the food eaten and the forage of the livestock have to be paid, and it takes a lot of livestock and manpower to transport 8,000 catties of salt.

Zhu Li smiled: "Ma Zhi County is really for the country and the people, but Ma Zhi County knows what to do in training and shooting?" ”

This one...... The army is the army, how can it keep consuming the things of the imperial court, and the bullets don't cost money?

The more supply points they set up, the bigger the territory they can hunt! ”

"Huh? Hunt? Ma Fei was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then his eyes widened: "Your Highness is talking about ......"

The county Cheng Niu entered the mouth quickly, and without waiting for Ma Fei to say it, he answered: "It's amazing, Your Highness has long thought of letting them train by hunting."

When hunting, set off in a small team, use cold weapons normally, and use hot weapons in case of danger, remember to talk about how to use them when you come back.

Going back and forth requires a lot of your own food and forage, and it is very hard.

Officials in other counties nodded their heads one after another, saying that indeed, everyone knew about it, and they also wrote to the imperial court, I don't know why no one cared? Could it be that he was stopped by a minister? Is it Hu Weiyong? Is he not? Treacherous!

……

Yes! When you go into the mountains to hunt, you have to find out the traces of your prey, and you have to go over the mountains and mountains by yourself.

Five cents a pound of salt, it seems that it is not expensive, but cheap, it used to be more than 20 yuan, boiling the sea by the sea for salt, the cost is high, and the purchase price is naturally high.

The imperial court is really stupid, give us good weapons, we didn't carry out shooting training normally, and we all took it into the ravine and other places to hunt.

"Your Highness's proposal is good, not only to build more supply points, but also to build them to the mountains, so that the people in the mountains can easily transport things to the river."

Sitting on the ship, Zhu Fan saw a supply point, a comprehensive supply, mainly for the steam engine ship to supply thermal coal and clean water.

If you change to an adult and walk on your own, in the summer, you can walk 20 miles a day by taking the road opened by the army to fight, and the distance in a straight line is 20 miles, which is actually longer.

Ma Fei, the magistrate of Gaizhou County, who came to study and sat together on the boat, hesitated and hesitated, and finally couldn't hold back.

Zhu Zhang's meaning, of course, was to increase the number of hunter huts, build more along the river, and arrange more sergeants to come over for rotation.

Instead, take the waterway and go downstream, that is, from east to west, and the river on this side does not flow eastward.

Pull 200 catties of salt at a time, save 600 wen, pull 400 catties and save 1,200 wen, if 8,000 catties, then save 24,000 wen.

In the case of an army, they were fast on the road, but it was impossible for them to send a large number of baggage teams to fight hard for the difference in the price of salt.

The soldiers ate the game they hunted, and no one cared about it, and they didn't want to eat it, or they couldn't finish it, so they dealt with it and saw that the ship was coming to load it.

When you go downstream, you don't want to slip and drift slowly, faster than walking, but when you go back, it's slower, countercurrent.

The sergeant makes so much money that he is on duty once a month, and when it is the turn of the team, the team is happy, and he can have additional income again.

The governor expressed his support for the construction, and the riverside was increased, and the mountains outside the river were also increased.

Even so, the Jurchens buy salt for five cents a catty, not officially, you come and carry the salt yourself, two pennies a catty, or rowing, see if it's cost-effective?

The Jurchens were obviously reluctant to buy it themselves, and the overland route was all mountains, but the mountains were not high, and the hills were dominant.

The boat was brought to the department store in Gaizhou County, and the people in the store settled according to the quality, and the freshwater fish was counted, and this was not accepted, and the dried fish was not accepted.

After Ma Fei finished speaking, his face was sad and indignant.

The steam engine does not need distilled water, the general well water is sufficient, the river water is actually quite clean, and some people drink it, but they are afraid that there will be floating objects in it.

Ma Fei immediately gave the answer, we understand this, we have also fought, the sergeants all praised us, saying that we have a unique ability to shoot, referring to the kind of east and west, which is unguardable.

"Ma Zhixian said it well!" Zhu Di then spoke: "Then what skills do you need to go into the mountains to hunt?" Is it a fixed target, or is it a moving target? ”

So in the summer, they choose a safe place to spend the night, and in the winter the animals can pull a tent like a small house and climb the plow.

Go and go back, go fast, have good physical strength, and walk for two months.

How does it work? Of course, it is to report the consumption of ammunition for training at the imperial court.

"Your Highness, Chief Zhu Li, there is something that offends people when you say it, right...... That one...... Some sergeants used training bullets for hunting, went into the mountains to hunt, and sold the prey they caught for money.

They would hunt, cast nets and catch fish, raise poultry and rabbits, put a few horses in the army, and raise goats in good places.

Naturally, they will also plant sorghum and soybeans on the left side of the supply point, and eat vegetables such as cucumbers, cowpeas, eggplants, green onions, and cabbage.

The sergeants were in charge of the guards, and by the way also where they made money, they carried cold weapons, including bows.

In winter, it is better, there are climbing plows to pull, there are no green things except pine trees, the mountains are full of shrubs, and the cattle pull the climbing plows, bring fodder, and can advance thirty miles a day.

In winter, the livestock run back and forth for more than 40 days, and they need to bring their own food, and there are no restaurants, homestays, and restaurants that can be seen everywhere.

The supply point became the hunter's hut, the current hunter hut density is small, the distance between each other, the ship can not wait for the coal and water to burn out before relying on the supply point, one supply point is enough to ensure that the ship to the next supply point.

Tracking prey is equivalent to tracking the enemy's tracks, and since bullets must be reported, sergeants will cherish them very much in order to reduce trouble. ”

Niu Jinde nodded to his colleague Ma Fei after speaking, right?

Ma Fei: "......"
