Chapter 353 Preparation for War

However, the second product in my hand is the second phase, and it is also mixed with eggs and cream, which makes the taste better and makes people greedy. Anyway, before I traveled through time, one of my favorite snacks was the compressed cake that was on sale.

But compared to that kind, I think the thing I am eating now has a better taste and a more fragrant taste. Unfortunately, this thing is harder than the ones sold on the street, which is quite laborious.

"Don't you taste a little? This is a new product." I muttered vaguely while chewing the compressed pancake Yu. She handed the pancake Yu to Sister Qingxia. Sister Qingxia could only sigh lightly, bite a small bite and chew it carefully. After a long time, she said: "The taste is better, but it's quite consuming."

"There's no way, but at least it tastes good. If you can cook it in a small pot, it will definitely be a very delicious pot of porridge." This young master said proudly. "This thing is more suitable for military rations than the rice and flour in the past."

"This is really, the transportation of this thing is convenient and small. A militia can carry at least ten or twenty compressed cakes in his backpack." Sister Qingxia pursed her lips, swallowed it and smiled.

"That's of course," the load-bearing of the army is a big problem, and military rations are even more a big problem. I got inspiration from the last fried noodles. Unfortunately, packaging is a big problem. In the end, it was Sister Qingxia, who was skillful, who gave me an idea.

Pack it with oil paper and tin foil, then glue it with fish glue, throw it in the water for a day and a night, and when it is opened, the things inside are still there. This finally gave me confidence. Although there is no can, I have made compressed military rations, which is definitely a great innovation.

However, the military rations made for the first time may still have some defects in terms of taste and calories provided, so I sent someone to make the latest model of military rations. After actual testing, this large piece of compressed cake only needs one and a half pieces, plus a little cheese and tea, which is completely enough for a soldier to consume a day.

Compared to the past, if a soldier wants to march in the field for ten days, he will have to hang a heavy rice bag on his body. Now, each soldier only needs to stuff fifteen pieces of this thing into his marching backpack, two pieces of cheese and a small piece of tea, which is enough to complete the ten-day expedition.

Although everything is still in the testing and preparation stage now, generals in the army like Han Shiye were very shocked. The equipment that I equipped the militias of the army made him speechless and provoked him.

All seemingly unnecessary but scattered things have their right purpose, and the appearance of leggings has made it possible to cross-country marching for several consecutive days. Even Han Shiye once led these soldiers to march north along the Yellow River, and at the farthest to the Yinzhou area, and marching in secret.

It took them only twelve days to go back and forth. This may be the first long-distance marching training for humans. The food they brought, until they came back, had a few pieces of compressed cakes left in each of them.

This young master finally determined the benefits of this thing for military operations. However, now is not the time to produce it on a large scale, at least it is not necessary. It has only made enough to consume ten days of training for the entire army.

Because according to history, a major event should happen today, and this major event is that in history, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui will inspect the northern border. When he arrives at Yanmen, he will be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Turkic soldiers. The Turkic soldiers will urgently attack Yanmen Pass. Later, Fan Zigai, the Minister of Personnel, designed to send an edict to recruit soldiers to rescue him. The emperor sent an envoy to ask Princess Yu Yicheng for help. The princess sent an envoy to inform Shibiyun that there was an emergency in the north. The reinforcements from the eastern capital and the counties were about to arrive, and Shibi rescued the siege. Yang Guang was finally able to escape.

It should have happened in autumn, but I can't remember when. When I think of another major historical event happening in front of my eyes, I feel very complicated. I hope Shibi Khan can succeed, but I don't want Yang Guang to kill Shibi Khan at this time. After all, he is the emperor of the Central Plains and should not die in the hands of those nomadic peoples.

Perhaps this is also an opportunity for me to gain greater attention. I hope that Yang Guang can recognize me at that time and let me go to a general or prefect, but the problem is that I can't bear to leave everything here.

King Guande has passed away, and I have no one in the court. However, I believe that if I can make great contributions, I believe that no one will come to compete with me for the magistrate of Hancheng County.

"Young Master, good news is coming to Chang'an." Li Yuanfang heard the excitement into the room. Soon, the information he handed over made me raise my eyebrows. In this way, my father-in-law has the opportunity to show his military talent. As long as he can make great contributions, I believe that the one who is a son today should have some expression. Maybe this year, my father-in-law will be in charge of the place. As long as he manages it properly, when he sees the general trend, Li Yuan will jump out and hold up the banner.

"Young Master, what news makes you so excited?" Sister Qingxia said curiously.

"The emperor is visiting Taiyuan and is surviving the summer heat in Fenyang Palace. Haha, now there are bandits and thieves in Shanxi, and it is very uneasy. Therefore, the world issued an edict to order my father-in-law to comfort the ambassador of Hedong, Shanxi, to take on the promotion and demotion of civil and military officials selected by counties and counties, and to recruit soldiers from Hedong and attack a group of thieves." I smiled and replied.

"It seems that another thing has come to the road you see, my son, right?" Sister Qingxia smiled and presented me with a tea. "This is natural." This young master said proudly.

"It's really strange. You seem to be calm, young master, but it seems that everything is within your expectations. Now Hancheng County is united, why are you still watching like this without any action?" Sister Qingxia looked at me, shook her head and said softly.

"In a word, the strength is still not enough. Moreover, it is not the right time yet." I sighed lightly. "Sometimes, watching these things that are known to happen appear before my eyes, but not enough to prevent them from happening. This kind of mood is really..."

There was bitterness in my words. Yes, it was because of this that I worked so hard, but now it has not met my expectations. Even the five thousand militias and one thousand five cavalry are trained to be elite, after all, the number is too small.

Sister Qingxia moved to my side, held my hand tightly, Qiu Shui's eyes and looked at me with affection. "Young Master, Qingxia knows that what you are doing is the world, not a dynasty and a country. Give yourself some more time and do it according to your own ideas. I hope to see what you once said, that such a dynasty will no longer be replaced, there will be no more wars, and the Central Plains will no longer be invaded by the grassland. Do you still remember what you said at that time?"

"Of course, I still remember everything I said. It is precisely for this dream that I will wait and accumulate enough strength to make it work hard to make the fate of China change greatly by my hands at the right time." I hugged her, sniffed her fragrance, looked out the window, and said word by word, extremely resolutely.

Sister Qingxia's slightly cool and slender hands stroked my cheeks, and a beautiful and satisfying smile appeared on her pretty face. "Qingxia is looking forward to seeing the great achievements that the young master has done... um."

I blocked her red lips and kissed the woman beneath her. Looking at Sister Qingxia's pretty face flushed and weak and pretty appearance, I was very proud. My lung capacity finally surpassed hers.

"Two thousand five hundred sets of coats must be made at least in early July. There are also one hundred side carriages, as well as enough spears and horizontal knives, and two thousand helmets, two thousand iron armor and five hundred armor-inserted chain armor. We have fought with the rebels, and even if we say that it was repaired by a batch of armored warriors, it is reasonable." I sat on the couch, thinking while saying.

Next to it, Sister Qingxia was recording quickly, while Yang Qiong, Han Shiyan and Han Xiong were listening there, nodding their heads.

"Young Master, now there are 1,000 sets of full-body armor in stock, 5,000 sets of individual breast armor, 5,000 sets of armor-inserted chain armor, and only 1,000 sets of iron armor. Since you need it, you can get enough in a maximum of twenty days. There are also 800 sets of leather armor, 5,000 sets of hand-shipping and only a dozen giant shields, all of which were seized." Bai Jie, the manager of the arsenal, looked at the report in his hand and said.

"In addition, there are 3,000 horizontal swords with hundreds of refining, and more than 9,370 of them are 50. In addition, according to your instructions, there are no large-scale steel crossbows. Currently, there are only seven steel crossbows of No. 1, thirteen steel crossbows of No. 2, and seven steel crossbows of No. 3."

"... One thousand bows, seven hundred crossbows, five thousand spears, three hundred thousand crossbows, and three hundred thousand arrows, and the original bamboo chicken-feather arrows are still left at the pass and are not included."

"Well, I'd better choose not to make a steel crossbow. This weapon is not yet available. The important thing is to train more new blacksmiths to make them familiar with our production process and length specifications. However, in July, the mild steel at that time should be properly smelted out, and then it will be made in large quantities." I cleared my throat and said.

Mild steel has been made. This kind of steel with excellent elasticity is a good thing for making crossbows. However, the quality of mild steel is not stable now. The smelting masters are thinking about how to make the output of mild steel, just like other steels, to obtain sufficient and stable quality. In addition, I also asked craftsmen to use the mild steel produced now to make samples, strive to make steel crossbows that can be made with the least material and the best power. When the assembly line is produced, I believe that it will definitely be done.
