Chapter 42: Goal, the Sea at the End of the World!
The entire bay exudes a thirst for expeditions.
What are the lords of the bay doing at this time?
In dry horses.
To be precise, Vondolph wanted to see a horse movie, but failed.
"I found you a few little mares, and you don't have big teeth? Give you a chance, you won't be useful! β
"Yu Yu~"
Big Tooth and Little Mare were calmly eating hay.
Feng Daofu said in his heart that if there were no female centaurs, would buddy still need you?
He felt keenly that the World Version was limiting his operations.
If it were for the Magical Middle Ages, my buddy would have taken the Thousand Monster Legion south to Gan Britain!
"Not to mention this expedition, it is estimated that the cavalry will not be able to count on it in the past two years."
In the battle of the four clans, Feng Daofu felt the coolness of a cavalry master.
Riding a horse may not be as good as the legs of an Homo erectus.
But on the battlefield, having a strategic mobility advantage is cool!
During the post-war period, in addition to integrating forces and training, Feng Dolph was also trying to find a way to use his specialty, Saddle Strong's mount life +20% bonus, to verify whether the original idea was feasible.
I didn't even think about the plan, and I was frustrated because of the horse's uncooperation.
The old wrangler next to him smiled and said, "Sage, I know you are in a hurry, but please don't be in such a hurry. β
"In the past, we had to wait until the sea thawed and the sun goddess Thor could sail normally before we could breed the horses."
Vondolph made a translation: Spring and summer can breed.
He vaguely remembered that it didn't seem to be the case.
Theoretically, horses are seasonal animals in heat, but when he was in graduate school to relax his brain, he found a random paper that overturned this theory.
I remember that the paper seems to have been written by Ning Peisheng and other experts, and it was an observation record of the breeding experiment of 158 small horses in South China at the Fusui Stud Farm from 1961 to 1963.
Records show that although horses are mainly in spring and summer, mares also have a 30% chance of being in heat in winter.
This proves that as long as the climate is suitable and the nutrition is sufficient, the mare can come into heat all year round, but the pregnancy rate is highest in April and July, and the fertility rate is lower at other times.
At the end of the paper, the mare estrus type is divided into three types: spring and summer, year-round and intermediate.
Feng Daofu only remembers so much, how to operate it, Jietong Liaoning University of Technology did not teach!
The school is really not good!
The expedition is not a big problem without cavalry, but the problem of horse breeding cannot only focus on the present, but must be considered in the long run, and preparations should be made at this time.
How to solve the problem of horse breeding.
Vondolph mused and left the stable.
After getting into the carriage, today's shift secretary, Da Maoluo, said gently: "Master, you should preside over the oyster competition." β
So the carriage changed direction.
Since the blizzard, there have only been two light rains, and then it has been sunny until now.
In order to facilitate the transportation of major infrastructure projects, the construction team hurriedly completed the cement renovation work of the two main roads in the town, and the improved four-wheeled carriage drove smoothly on it.
The Nordic winter is very cold, and the rate of cement setting must be very slow, but the Middle Ages did not have high requirements for the quality of the pavement, and it was completely sufficient under normal circumstances.
Speaking of which, the newly improved four-wheeled carriage has the potential to overload kings.
Ordinary axles are made of hardwood, rigidly connected with wheels and carriages, this structure has large friction and limited load, like Dameng's light two-wheeled vehicle, the load can only be 300 pounds, and the bearings can not bear the high load for a long time.
The improved metal axle greatly increases the carrying capacity, and the load of the carriage can be increased by several times, which, together with other improvements, makes it much easier to pull the carriage.
Specialty - +33% durability of carpenter's equipment, +30% logistical load of the caravan leader, a good horse weighing 0.7 tons, on a good hardened surface, can pull up to 3.5 tons of cargo on a four-wheeled vehicle, which is equivalent to 5 times its own weight.
The capacity is large, the running is fast, and it is stable.
The Valkyries who have experienced it all praise it with both hands and feet.
Such a good four-wheeled carriage, but Vondolph did not plan to promote it.
It's not because he thinks that only he can resist the corruption.
The main reason is that industrial capacity cannot keep up.
The old was exchanged for the new, and the weapons of most of the tribe were confiscated in disguise.
Smelt all these weapons, and upgrade the forging directly in one wave.
"Gain Forging Specialty - High Pressure Forging (Strength +1, One/Two Hands Control +10)"
Forging Lv6, after various control bonuses, Feng Daofu thinks that he has the level of an eighth-level technician, and he relies on his hands to rub it out.
It's okay to rub a four-wheeled carriage, dozens of them?
It's like blessing thousands of female believers who are begging for children, and they can't finish grinding their bald skins!
And there are not so many supporting cement roads.
At this stage, the main cement production capacity is still more used in the construction of brick buildings.
On those narrow dirt roads like capillaries, four-wheeled carriages are not as good as two-wheeled carriages.
There are many new technologies in rural areas in the new era, but the two-wheeled structure is still used in rural horse-drawn carts and ox carts, which can more or less verify the choice of vehicles in complex environments.
Most of the terrain of the Nordic house is similar to that of the hometown, with many mountains and complex water systems, and the more passable single wheel and two wheels are enough.
In addition, there are not so many qualified horse-drawn four-wheelers.
Even with the patronage of well-meaning nobles, they are more cattle raisers, and the tribal stables are only a few hundred horses in total, which is simply not enough.
Vondolph also considered ox carts.
Then he realized that he had made the same mistakes as Napoleon.
Napoleon's expedition to the Woolly Bear made extremely complicated logistical preparations, such as the use of a large number of ox carts to replenish the transport capacity, and the light two-wheeled carriages, which accounted for nearly 75% of all vehicles.
This preparation was made because Napoleon was choked by the local rotten roads in the Polish war, and found that the four-wheeled carriage was often unable to move.
Thinking that the road of the woolly bear was worse, he planned to supplement it with the relatively light Kontois carriage and ox cart.
Napoleon believed that the ox cart was superior to the horse-drawn cart in many ways.
It is easier to feed than a horse, it carries a heavier load than a horse, it can walk bad roads, and when it finishes eating the supplies on the ox cart, you can directly slaughter the ox and dismantle the cart, and take the dismantled firewood to cook beef.
After the field operation, it was found that there were too many slots.
The idea of using ox carts may seem thoughtful, but in reality Niu Niu is so heavy and slow that it simply cannot keep up with the march of large troops.
Either they are slaughtered in advance, or they have to be left behind.
The most important thing is that if you are tired and frozen, there will be an outbreak of epidemics, cattle to cattle, and finally a large number of cattle will die.
It is not at all expected to eat the food on the ox cart, then slaughter the cow, and finally use the ox cart as firewood - reality directly fanned the sweet dream.
In reality, it was the ox that pulled the cart that died first, the cart got stuck in the swamp, and then the food on it rotted again.
Historically, the Eastern Crusade was already one out of ten before it crossed the banks of the Neman River, the logistics were completely rotten, and then the whole collapsed.
In a way, it can be said that Niu Niu led to Napoleon's Waterloo.
Niu Niu: Corsican Bull Ogre!
Vondolph tossed around, and finally found that it was still the original traditional vehicle.
"I have never done farm work in the countryside, I patted my head so ambitiously, and then I was beaten by the wisdom of the common people or something, I am so happy to see it."
"It's good that buddy doesn't have a hard mouth, and he will change his mistakes when he knows them."
"Everything depends on the material base...... This expedition is still dominated by sleds and wheelbarrows, and the horses will continue to be raised. β
Feng Dolph thought about raising horses from the road and vehicles, and decided to provide better food for the horses first.
Although I don't know how to breed, I can infer from the humanoid cow and horse that I must still live well, eat well, and be in a good mood before I have the heart to have a baby.
Full of warm thoughts and desires!
If you want to improve your horse's diet, you can't just eat hay, you have to eat concentrated feed, eat more barley grains, bone meal and other protein supplements, and get more concentrated nutrients to meet additional needs, so that you can grow fat.
Just like people exercising, no matter what kind of exercise, the necessary condition is to eat well, meat, eggs and milk to keep up.
If you don't eat just practice, you still expect to practice well, either you have aura, or you have something in your brain.
In a certain magical populous country, the fourth-class cattle and horses field infantry eat about 20 yuan a day, nominally one soup, two meats, three vegetables and fruits, but many times it is a hodgepodge of meatballs.
If you participate in any drill, you have to squeeze out food expenses, and you may use a celery to make two dishes and one soup.
However, the drill and Friday night snacks are really refreshing.
To be fair, what you usually eat is not bad, but for high-intensity training, the intake of meat, eggs and milk is completely insufficient.
And the training does not give recovery time, pay attention to a willpower to overcome the physiological common sense that 'the recovery period is the physical growth period', if there is no secret injury, that is the real immortal, the old squad leader in his twenties looks the same as the thirty or forty years old or something.
In short, to eat according to the standard of war horses, each horse must ingest 15 kilograms of compound feed and 25 liters of water every day, and raising a war horse is equivalent to raising 25 people.
Because of the enthusiastic sponsorship of many old nobles, coupled with the innovation of fishing technology, and the trading specialty - the production of grain, olives, fish, and dates in the town of the grain keeper + 20% bonus, the food on hand is very abundant.
Matter and spirit go hand in hand, which is why the town of North is thriving during this time.
But now the church must drink a glass of milk before the morning prayer and evening prayer, and give the cows concentrate feed so that they can produce more milk.
If you are divided by the cows, you will not have much to give to the breeding horses.
Vondolph summed it up and decided to start a small-scale pilot with Big Tooth and Little Mas.
On these dozen horses, to explore and improve the horse breeding technology, and when the horse breeding technology is explored, there will be more grassland land, and then a large number of horses will be raised.
"It's funny to raise horses in Eastern Europe when the time comes, and suddenly a piercing duke, Alexander Nevsky, Suvorov, Attila or something pops up for your buddies."
Vondolph hasn't forgotten that this is the Musou version of medieval brawl.
In the past, you could not think about it, but now that you are a lord, you must consider it.
"There is a rabbit telegraph, just to develop an espionage network ......"
While thinking, the carriage passed through houses, hospitals, and schools.
Vondolph looked sideways and saw that the buildings were all newly built of red bricks.
Symmetrical, sloping roofs, thick walls, three-story buildings, and large towering chimneys, thick pipes.
The exterior walls are all red brick bare, which looks more stable and magnificent.
There is a garden in the middle of each word, which is dedicated to the morning and evening prayers of the believers.
The carriage drove slowly past the road, and every resident had a smile on their face.
Even the old slaves, who were once lifeless, now have a new mental outlook, and they all straighten their waists.
Their changes also brought a lot of skills and experience to Master Feng.
"Gain Management Expertise - Sweatshop (+20% Workshop Production, +20% Equipment Build Speed)"
"Gain Engineering Expertise - Wall Breaker (+25% damage to walls, +10% damage to shields)"
The former escorts the rapid development of production capacity and infrastructure.
The latter increases the success rate of the expedition.
- Although theoretically, a group of primitive clans will not have any decent city defenses, but Musou Brawl in the Middle Ages, what if.
Looking at the new specialty, the corners of Feng Daofu's mouth couldn't help but rise: No matter how awesome the brawl hero is, he can't beat the productivity Dafa of his buddy.
Da Mao Luo thought that he was proud of the changes he had brought about, and sincerely cast a look of admiration.
"Master, many people on the road are going to participate in the first oyster competition organized by you, why do you have to hold a competition for oysters?"
"Enrich everyone's entertainment."
Feng Daofu smiled: "If you only eat grass every day, the cow will get tired." If there is better grass, it will not eat bad, if it can eat fruit, then it will be called a joy, and after eating, it will work hard for you many times. β
"Life has to bring changes, and everyone has a high labor intensity, so we need to carry out some mass activities."
"Everyone knows how to open oysters, everyone can participate, it is interesting and delicious, so it is lively and lively, and life becomes colorful."
"I see, the master is so good."
"I'm the best guy in Northern Europe!"
Anyway, the day's work is done, and there is no waste of man-hours to carry out activities after work.
Multiply~
With the sound of the coachman's brakes, the carriage came to the place.
People who join in the excitement rush over one after another, you come and go, bustling, and the water is impassable.
There are patrol soldiers to maintain order, and everyone can participate in the event with confidence.
The men gathered in groups to brag, the women got together to gossip, and the children were playing and playing.
Most people are watching the live performances of the church propaganda team, including singing, dancing, drama, etc., and most of the content is related to the Eda Sutra.
To sum it up: the Holy One is good, the Holy One is wonderful, and the Holy One is croaking.
Some children are not interested in these and play games that the church has recently introduced.
What cockfighting, wooden man, playing clams, playing mud, backgammon, snowball fights, building snowmen.
There are also a lot of hanging horizontal bars and long jumps, who have better physical fitness.
There are also many adult men who are also competing in fists and feet, archery, wrestling and other skills.
"Look, when the sea thaws next year, I will definitely win the black iron archery skill medal, and then I will get an extra 1A subsidy every month, and the wartime subsidy will rise a lot!"
This is archery.
Others laughed: "Only black iron? I can take the bronze level! β
The other laughed even more exaggeratedly: "What kind of tattered bronze and black iron do you have, if you want to take it, you can get a silver-level skill medal!" Not only archery, but also the Battle Command Skill Badge! If you want to do it, you can be an officer! β
Someone asked, confusedly, "Wait, wait, what's the skill badge?" How can you still get a subsidy? β
Seeing him like this, others understood: "You know at a glance that you didn't go to night school well." β
The man scratched his head: "Once I go to the teacher, I have to teach Io once, I have too much trouble learning." β
"Many children can learn Aiou in a week, but it's still a headache to learn? Don't even think about skill chapters in your mind. β
Before the grumpy brother was about to hit someone, someone said kindly, "I'll tell you." β
"The skill badge is a badge that shows various skill levels, such as archery, you can use a 50-pound bow, shoot a 50-meter target, shoot 3 arrows in 10 seconds, and 2 of 3, you can get a black iron archery skill badge, you can get a subsidy from the church, and you can get a medal."
As he spoke, he shook his chest muscles, and the silver medallion with three arrows crossed on his chest like a trident reflected a dazzling light.
"Like me, with a 100-pound bow, a distance of 80 meters, and 2 of 3 in 10 seconds, I have passed the silver standard, and as long as I pass the assessment every month, I can get a 4A subsidy!"
The grumpy old brother was shocked: "4A?!" This medal is real silver?! β
"I don't know."
He carefully wiped the silver medal with his cuffs: "Anyway, if it's good-looking, you can get a subsidy." β
"That's true."
The grumpy brother looked at the medal enviously, and secretly made up his mind to practice archery hard and get a gold skill medal next year!
The carriage stopped right near them.
Feng Daofu, who got out of the car, heard their discussion and thought that the upgrade system + achievement system + monetary benefits, this game routine is really easy to use in reality.
How to cultivate people's interest in martial arts?
Interests plus honors stimulate people to practice spontaneously, hobbies and benefits can make them practice more easily, train more efficiently, and save supervision costs.
This is also a good way to train troops approved by Grandpa Qi.
Grandpa Qi also said that the 'characteristics of the troops' in different places are also different.
For the Germanic clans of Northern Europe, this guided approach was more suitable for them.
However, the scientific training of the corresponding skills should also be promoted, don't practice blindly and hurt your body, which affects the efficiency of part-time work.
Feng Dolph thought of the results of this period of training.
The effect of the previously acquired Mastership Perk, Famous Commander, is that the newly recruited soldiers gain a large amount of initial experience, which can fill 66% of the experience gauge of the level 1 creep according to the set experience points.
Because each person can only trigger once, Feng Dolph rubbed everyone as much as he could.
After rubbing on, they will do some radio gymnastics every morning and evening, and after a little practice, they will soon be promoted to level 2 soldiers.
The improvement is not large, but it can be clearly felt.
With a little bit of publicity, the meaning is different.
Improving the physical fitness of the whole people, improving the food of the whole people, and improving the living environment of the whole people are the important reasons why Feng Daofu can firmly control the local power in such a short time.
In addition, his main energy was devoted to solving the first-level contradiction brought about by the military merit system.
The first rank system is a very popular military merit system in East Asia since ancient times, as long as you grab the enemy's head, you can take it to receive a reward, but this rule also has drawbacks, and will cause quite serious consequences, there have been many times in history in order to kill an enemy, but lead to the collapse of the formation.
This point is still based on Grandpa Qi's method - anyway, there is such a thing as military training, and it will be over if you don't find Grandpa Qi.
"Sage? It's the Sage! β
"Long live the Sage!"
At this time, someone finally discovered Feng Dolph, which caused thousands of cheers, as if a superstar appeared on the stage.
Feng Daofu waved all the way to the high platform, and after a brief speech, he raised the tin horn and said: "I announce the start of the first Oyster Contest!" β
One by one, the contestants stood in front of the table.
Each table is furnished with oyster knives, napkins and pads.
Through these three tools, 4 rounds of competition were completed, and the difficulty gradually escalated, and finally the public judges decided the winner through both speed and quality.
The sound of music and cheering shouts was endless, and the contestants swirled with knives in their hands, and one by one the crystal full oysters appeared in front of them.
When it got dark, the game came to the finals.
Vondolf himself served as a judge, commented on the oysters, and finally awarded the Norwegian man the Championship Medal: "I declare that Tim has won the championship!" β
Tim is Willy's younger brother, a Norwegian slave who has been reformed through labor for three years.
Although it was a slave who won the championship, everyone who had fully integrated into the atmosphere also gave cheers and applause.
Looking at this scene, looking at his golden medal of champion, Tim was in a trance and excited, and the rest of the slaves also found a sense of substitution from him.
They silently decided to redouble their efforts in the future, strive to use their wages to reduce their sentences, and completely integrate into the Ai O family.
Looking at this scene, Master Feng smiled and went home with a large basket of oysters.
Dinner is a soup base made with oyster pot and sea fish, chicken, and mushrooms.
In the boiling pot, the oysters full of juice look unusually fat.
The Baltic waters are pure, and the small, round local oysters taste quite good.
And now that the fishing technology has improved, the oysters that live in deeper water layers have been fished up, and the wild oysters that have lived for twenty or thirty years have been caught a lot.
What threads, roller blinds, steamed buns...... There are all kinds of shapes, and it's called an oyster feast!
Eat oysters, drink chicken soup, and have a glass of sea buckthorn juice.
Old Man Feng snorted, it was another night of liver explosion skill experience.
The life of a lord is so unpretentious and boring.
"Medical Upgrade!"
"Gain Medical Expertise - Siege Medic (-50% Injury Penalty during Siege)"
The expertise most needed for the expedition was in hand, and Vondolph convened an expeditionary meeting.
"Today's meeting is very important, so forget about vodka, and in the future it is not encouraged to drink spirits, how good is ale."
Vondolph held up the ale: "Dry!" β
The management staff has a glass per person, the malt wine with improved process has a more cereal aroma, and the air in the conference room is filled with the intoxicating aroma of wheat.
Everyone's spirits lifted, and the expedition meeting began.
Because in the past, the trajectory of Sogon's parade was south, and even the old men of the Norse tribe knew little about the Finnish world further north.
Fortunately, there were Sami people who had been operating in the north, and they squeezed out the blue to get pre-war information, and based on this information, Vondolph first determined the reconnaissance mission.
A group of scouts with the lowest Bronze Mapping Skill Badge/Bronze Ice Sail Control Skill Badge are the spearheads.
They will take the latest model of the River Crab ice sail, carrying enough dry food such as fish cakes, baked noodles and fresh water for a month, along the frozen coastline all the way north, mapping the way and determining the economic value of the surrounding area.
For example, whether there is fresh water on the small islands along the way, what is the catch in the vicinity, whether there are ferrets and foxes with high fur value on land, and so on.
Rabbit telegraph method to do remote communication.
This method is not suitable for battle formations, because there are too many battlefield interference factors, and adrenaline comes together, it is easy to ignore the signal of specialty strengthening, and you still have to use the traditional golden drum banner.
In the thousands of years when there was no gunpowder smoke and haze, the golden drum and banner have always been a tried-and-true command weapon.
But when you talk to the spies, the rabbit telegraph becomes very useful.
Also because there is a means of instant communication, the large army can follow behind and act synchronously.
Bang!
After discussing the miscellaneous matters, Feng Daofu hammered his fist on the table: "On the first day of the new year, a group wedding will be held." β
"On the second day of the new year, under the guidance of the Valkyrie's parade, we set out on an expedition!"
"Goal, the sea at the end of the world!"
Thanks to the 1948 tip of 'Yechen King'.
The state is average, some water, I originally wanted to popularize science entomology, but I was really inspired, so I wrote a few hundred more words as compensation for my brothers.
Lao Qi's evaluation: "Chuzhou is the first, Yiwu is second, Taiwen is second, Shaoxing is second, he is not in this department." β
This ranking is slightly different from that in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he thinks that the strongest state soldier is a weak soldier who 'uses it to kill the Japanese, but only one or two victories, and then encounters the enemy and loses it'
It can be seen that these soldiers are not born strong, but they are adapted to local conditions, learn from each other's strengths, and focus on training according to their different characteristics to help them overcome their shortcomings.
For the soldiers who do not have strong endurance, we will focus on training their ability to fight for a long time without being discouraged.
For the disobedient Yiwu soldiers, they must be enviable and said, not to suffer from their lack of strength, but from their untamedness; Don't suffer from its invincibility, but suffer from its pride.
For the timid Shaoxing soldiers, they strengthened their determination with strict orders, so that they dared to fight the enemy.
True is a class trait.
Finally, let's talk about Napoleon's true story, which looks like a joke.
On March 31, 1812, Napoleon wrote a note to his adopted son, Eugène, the vice-president of Italy: they (cattle) must be allowed to walk only half a day and be fully rested.
Sounds awesome, right?
Napoleon also said in front of him: if the cow is not in good condition, it must be slaughtered and replaced with a new one.
Italian Soldier: Niu Niu, I heard the order of the king, you are sick.
Niu Niu: Corsican Bull Ogre!
