"Take three steps and one poke..."
"Take care of your hands freely and push it smoothly..."
"Over the waist, over the shoulders, over the head..."
The loud yelling and roaring practice sound practice slowly awakened Zhou Huaian from a moment of comfort during a nap. He looked at the projection on the corona. Well, it looks like it’s time for afternoon tea again. ；
The errand attendant Xiao Qi has brought the afternoon tea from the kitchen, the mixed noodle steamed buns, which were obviously re-baked, sandwiched the same fried bacon slices, and a pot of fried soy flour and wheat. Salty tea soup made from dried tangerine peels, old ginger and lotus leaves.
"Boss..."
Then Xiao Qi, who looked much ruddy because she was near the water tower, took out a bag of things and carefully placed it on the wooden pallet.
"This is Shimi that brought the head back from the city specially..."
"About forty or fifty catties are left in the room, saying it is for your daily use..."
"It's a reward for the orders you wrote, and the hard work of ghostwriting everyone."
Zhou Huaian nodded, picked up the bag and examined it carefully.
The so-called stone honey in this era is just the original cane sugar derived from the Tianzhu manufacturing method. It is a generation of strange people in the early Tang Dynasty, Wang Xuance, who used troops to sweep the land of Tianzhu and brought back the overlord of Zhongtianzhu, Alona Shun. After that, one of the many loot/souvenirs brought back.
It can be regarded as one of the few sources of sweetness in this era, and it can be regarded as a luxury that only the middle and upper class people can afford. After opening the paper bag, I saw a few dusty objects, which had a little more yellowish crystal outline than the normally seen soil.
After a little tasting, Zhou Huai'an only felt that the ingredients and taste of the crude brown sugar were similar, but apparently because the craftsmanship of this era was unsuccessful, it left a lot of impurities and a lingering bitterness. Therefore, it is estimated that it can only be used after processing such as chemical water precipitation and filtration.
"I will give you a taste..."
Then he jumped out of the smaller piece and handed it to Xiaoqidao
"Take it for me as usual..."
"How can this be..."
He couldn't help but shrug off his face a little impressively
"I said yes, yes..."
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but scowled.
"Is it my errand, I can't afford that little stone honey..."
And Xiao Qi is obviously a young person's nature after all, unable to shirk this incomparably rare sweets**, and finally took it out with great gratitude, and I don't know who it is to share with.
But in any case, this means that he will be supplemented in another aspect of his departure from the big plan in the future; because he is processing and concocting portable rations that may be used on the road in the future through the amount and reasons for improving and improving the quality of the food; The right to use these Shimi is only part of it.
At present, he has designed three kinds of portable rations, one is fried noodles made from miscellaneous grains such as soybeans, wheat, etc., is nothing more than the salty taste of heavy oil and salt, one is fried rice cake with sugar with higher sweetness, and the other is similar to Northwestern. Regional naan products, multi-layer sandwich cakes that are not prone to mold.
In addition, there are some ointments and pills obtained from local materials, which are also tried in private, mainly as a response to sudden emergencies and conditions such as headaches and brain fever on the road, and various external application and internal use.
In this way, even after he left this peasant army, what he left behind was enough to be used as compensation and Yu Ze to continue to be passed on and play a role.
To say that as a human being has the habit and adaptability, it really has sufficient potential to be tapped; actually, I have slowly adapted to this lack of water, electricity, and Internet. When going to the toilet, I have to be careful to fall into the pit and dance with Xiang and wash. Prepare half a day's hot water in advance for each bath. . . , And so on, the daily life that should have collapsed and desperate, but temporarily forgot the concept of the passing of time.
However, the changes he has brought to the surrounding environment and people are also obvious. Although it is only a short period of time, most people are used to using boiled water every day, eating large pots of rice that are heated enough, and washing in the river for two to three days One bath, uniform change of clothes and centralized disposal of excrement and garbage. . It even collects various herbs to eliminate and repel the hidden dangers of mosquitoes.
Although some trivial details and obsessive habits have been added, with the hidden bonus of increased efficiency and reduced wastage, the amount of investment in specific time and labor has been reduced and relaxed. As the saying goes, it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. The same applies to their changing habits and daily life.
After this period of time, the efforts of picking up garbage and preparing for the outing of materials have at least ensured that the soldiers who entered the camp in advance, no one has a small vest or gown that is uniformly dyed with plant ash, and it is also marked with carbon ash. Spears, swords, and bows and arrows; come as a daily means of distinguishing and identifying each other, so that they have the initial uniform tone of the army.
For a long time before this, they almost put on something, and at most they tied a piece of cloth on their shoulders to recognize people. As for the bosses above the team, it is much simpler. They all have corresponding hats, hats or helmets. They directly dye their hats and hats to represent different ranks, from the clear gray of the team deputy and the blue of the team leader. Ash finally reaches the indigo blue.
In fact, because the period of being forced to join this group is still short,
He has always been very careful to avoid direct intervention and interference in matters directly related to the military, and only constantly embody and highlight his sense of existence in the logistics and general affairs fields, in order to prevent unnecessary vigilance and suspicion. ; And the passive requirement to write these simple and easy-to-see passwords and operating rules, even if only a small part of them is involved, is a very gratifying breakthrough. .
With these mud legs, which are not clearly distinguished from left and right, and the expressions are unclear, what you play directly in the queue is the same as the duck; therefore, you can only use the more intuitive {right hand} and idle hand {left hand} to show and confirm. The most basic position, and then after they have a concept, they will teach the four directions and the center of the east, west, north and south according to the sun. Then, according to the head, shoulders, waist, and legs of the human body, they are divided into four speeds to roughly attack/smash. area. . . . . Such as analogy.
This process of observation and practice is also a rare experience and benefit, reference and reference for Zhou Huaian; in his era, even the most primitive African black uncle, only the spear, the front blow, and the bow arrow were left. The hunting method, and there is no chance to see the tragic scene of the spears shooting against each other on the human wall.
In a sense, the spear arms from ancient times to the present are undoubtedly the best arms. In theory, as long as an individual stands in place and holds it in his hand, it is enough to have the courage to stab it out in the general direction. In ancient history, there were as many cannon fodder of this degree, and it was almost commonplace in every battlefield record;
But it’s also the hardest to train well, or to be a good company, because it requires a long pole to make many precise and neat tactical changes, and it also needs to be able to coordinate with the left and right. For the soldiers’ physical fitness, skills, and Collaborative proficiency has high requirements and tests. In the end, there are very few arms that can be famous for using spears. For example, the later Ming Dynasty dared to compete with the Jurchen team in the field with a longer and shorter white barman.
As for the more decent-looking sword players, they are another equally broad-based unit. It can be described as a panacea with both offensive and defensive attributes, and is flooded with various cold weapon military sequences from antique police; but for anger As far as Fengying is concerned, these broad-spectrum sword players are, in a sense, the backbone and core combat power. Therefore, after torn from this path, they have more or less ready-made experience and relatively stable cooperation. From this point, there are not many other parties that Zhou Huaian can indirectly intervene and change.
There are also archers and cavalry. The latter, as a personal guard and the most core elite, is not even a target for him to encroach on and arrogate; but the shooter team can still think of some ways, such as helping to maintain and maintain equipment in the name of some suggestions. Try; after all, making and obtaining a decent bow and arrow in this era is not an easy task;
Whether it is a bow arm used as a strength support or a string used as a guarantee of lethality and range, it is guaranteed by extremely willful plant materials and animal horns, tendons and glues, and the final molding cycle and time limit are all It is based on several months and the whole year; but for the same reason, these materials rich in fiber and organic matter are also easily affected by the environment and climate such as wind, sun and rain, and become soft, moldy or dry. It splits and loses its elasticity.
Therefore, in the shooting team with less than two hundred people, most of them are new and old hunting bows made of bamboo, and only a small part are the large and straight hardwood bows used by the infantry team, and the horn bows used by the cavalry are rare in number; As for the crossbow, it is basically invisible. There are only two kinds of arrows—bamboo and wooden. Arrows are a variety of sources, and what they use leads to big differences. Even after secondary processing, they are polished into different shapes according to personal style.
Therefore, his first rationalization proposal was to unify the styles of arrows and arrow shafts for unified recycling and remanufacturing, and thus build simple molds and weighing standard samples.
Then, prepare a protective board made of straw and bamboo for each archer's chest. It is the most primitive grass-wood version of the breastplate; besides not being fireproof, the specific protection is still not satisfactory. It can be set up 50 steps away from blocking the opponent. Arrow.
Opposite the new pawns who are clumsily making stab moves at the moment, there are some unlucky guys wearing these experimental straws and bamboo braided armor; as the tail of the crane for every camp inspection and sanitation assessment, the punishment they have to accept is to wear Put on these thick and sultry "armor";
Then, as the target of the bamboo nail team and the pole team to drill, and endure the piercing of various long poles and bamboo tips in turn, until the whole body's protective gear becomes tattered and can be freed. (End of this chapter)
