Chapter 138: Food Worries
Listening to these Zhao Ming's expressions as usual, there are some things he hasn't settled with them yet.
Darhan is okay, and Mao Ming Anbu is really pulling his hips, if he didn't send someone to top it in time in the end, the right wing would have been directly defeated.
This defeat, coupled with the 800 cavalry pressed up by the other side in the follow-up, it is really difficult to say the outcome or defeat.
Once morale is defeated, it is like a dam bursting its levee and is unstoppable.
But the defeat of Maoming Anbu is actually excusable, Beishan was captured, Wang Beibei was killed, and the two backbones of Maoming Anbu were gone, and the morale was already very low. It is not at all comparable to the Durhan led by Baoshan.
But Zhao Ming has already made a decision about the relationship between these two departments.
"It should be almost there, let's speed up!"
Zhao Ming looked at the bonfire that could already be seen vaguely in the distance and urged.
After about ten minutes, the large army finally rushed back to Huozhongtun.
Stepping across the temporary wooden bridge of the river, everyone arrived at Huo Zhongtun on the opposite side of the riverbank.
It's a bit easy to defend, surrounded by mountains, and the only open area is blocked by a river.
When everyone crossed the river, Huo Zhongtun's brothers immediately dragged back the temporary wooden bridge.
Zhao Ming led his brothers to the direction of the camp, which was still about four or five hundred meters away.
If you look around, you can see several well-built guard towers near the riverbank.
"Master Zhao, according to your instructions, I have already built these guard towers nearby, because it is relatively easier to run out of time."
Zhang He explained on the side.
"Well, it's already very good, it's nice to have a high field of vision."
Zhao Ming nodded, these sentry towers are really simple.
A few wooden sentry towers built at random less than three meters high have the effect of sheltering from the wind is almost the same as that of things, but fortunately, a grass hut is built on it, which can shelter from rain and snow.
When Zhao Ming came to the camp, it was immediately lively.
Zhao Ming had been to Huo Zhongtun once before, but this time was obviously different from the last time.
A few more large huts were added, but it can be seen that these huts are purely repurposed from the previous cattle and sheep pens, and some herders can be seen scattering grass and wood ashes on the ground in the huts from a distance.
On the one hand, it is used to dispel odors in the cowshed, and on the other hand, it is used for drying and insulation.
The cattle and sheep were temporarily fenced off with wood near the sheds.
Some cattle and sheep still have a shelter from the wind and rain, but more often they can only be enclosed in the open air.
There is no way to do this, the first to ensure that people have a place to live, followed by cattle and sheep.
Coupled with the herdsmen of the two tribes of Darhan and Maoming'an, and the cattle and sheep they brought with them, this land is even more insufficient.
Secondly, more than 20 tribes in Huozhongtun and Pingqiantun who had recently migrated here also migrated here, and the people here swelled up as if they were inflated. The herd of cattle and sheep is even denser.
Zhao Ming just walked around Huo Zhongtun, surprised that the camp tent did not cover as much area as cattle and sheep.
At this time, Ah Fu, who had been in charge of relocation and settlement, trotted over.
"Uncle!"
"How many people are there here now? How many cattle and sheep? Zhao Ming asked directly about the point.
"Uh.... Uncle, there are really a lot of cattle and sheep, I don't know the specifics, but it is estimated that there are nearly more than 10,000 cattle, sheep and horses.
As for the number of people, there are even more people, twenty or thirty tribes combined, there are nearly tens of thousands.
But uncle, don't worry, you don't have to worry about this place to live.
A few days ago, I asked this side to prepare, although the environment where everyone lived at the beginning would be a little worse, but I believe that in the future, we will be busy during the day, and this place will be much more comfortable.
But the trouble is still eating, uncle.... You didn't say there would be so many people before.
Even if we add cattle and sheep to the grain here, we will slaughter all of them..... That's going to last a month or two at most.
But this winter is still very long..... The herdsmen are not going to let us slaughter all the cattle and sheep they have worked so hard to raise..."
Saying that, Ah Fu looked embarrassed.
This is really not the same concept in Fengjiazhuang and in charge of the grassland, and he can only discuss many things with Lao Suntou.
For example, he knew from the old grandson that you can't kill all the cattle and sheep of the herdsmen, at most seventy percent, and the rest must stay as sheep and cattle, otherwise people will fight with you.
In this regard, the herders regard it more than their own lives.
For eating this piece, Zhao Ming is also worried.
Since the Outer Mongolians have already gone south, it is obvious that they will not be able to evacuate in a short time, and they will only go back after earning enough money.
It is not impossible that this time may be a month, it may be two months, or even half a year and a year.
For food control, Zhao Ming plans to start tomorrow.
The first thing is to manage the grain in a unified way, otherwise it is difficult to say whether it can last for a month, let alone two months.
Back at the campfire, at this time, a group of Zhensongjun brothers who had just returned and the other two herdsmen were resting around the campfires with hot mutton soup in their hands.
"You.... Drink some of it too! Beware of a bit of a hot! ”
Seeing Zhao Ming coming, Tao Yan, who had been paying attention for a long time, hurriedly walked over with a ceramic bowl.
Looking at the steaming mutton soup inside, as well as the large piece of mutton that was obviously more than others, Zhao Ming looked at the woman in front of him and nodded with a smile.
Not to mention, after getting along for a long time, the more this woman looks, the better she looks.
It should be said that it was originally very good-looking, but Zhao Ming had never stayed on the other party's face for too long before, and there were too many things to worry about.
But recently I have really gained weight on the grassland, and this food and clothing is lustful, and this energy is extremely full in my spare time, so it is inevitable to make mistakes.
Under the regular in-depth communication with Tao Yan, Zhao Ming also knows this woman quite well.
In a little comparison, Feng Yunyun is younger and looks better.
But Tao Yan also has the advantage of Tao Yan, her body is very hot, and she has a mature charm, like a ripe peach.
With very slender long legs, round buttocks and a pair of headlights, Zhao Ming felt that Tao Yan might be more attractive than Feng Yunyun in a cheongsam.
But it's normal, Zhao Ming has always felt that something like a cheongsam must have some experience, and women who are mature enough in age are the most charming.
It's just that why didn't I feel that this woman was in such a good figure before? It may be that he was too thin before, but now that the nutrition has come up, the original foundation is suddenly highlighted.
After taking the big bowl, Zhao Ming sat next to the monkey and Wang Er, listening to the monkey constantly bragging in front of Wang Er, how brave he was in the battle just now.
Wang Er, when Zhao Ming saw it for the first time, this kid was a thorn.
But as the understanding deepened, this is a person who likes to listen quietly to others.
And this kind of person is the most liked by monkeys, because no one will break down with him.
Zhao Ming doubted what kind of mother-in-law would have to endure his mouth in the future, it was really long-winded.
The water-cooled Makqin can't output his mouth, and the other Makqin needs to be cooled down, and he has a high-frequency output without cooling.
