Yang Fan is very lazy when he has nothing to do. After finishing the military dispatch ceremony today, he feels very tired. At this time, I didn’t want to move at all.
Ge You was paralyzed on the seat and cushions. The ladies have long been accustomed to the master's tired appearance.
Yang Fan's underwear was very loose and comfortable.
Yang Fan discovered that ancient home clothes were more comfortable than modern pajamas, and they were made of silk, making them very skin-friendly and breathable.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru also changed into the modern nightgowns they got from Yao Guang before setting off, and they were still taking pictures in front of the mirror happily.
"Master, does it look good?" the young lady said in a timid voice.
She was wearing a purple suspender nightdress, and Lin Yueru was wearing a pink one.
"It looks good, my wife is the prettiest." Yang Fan said lazily.
Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru got into his arms, one on the other, and lay on his chest. Xiao Niangpi said coquettishly: "Master, we have been married for so long, how come there is no movement between the two of us. How about we find someone? Doctor, let’s take a look. Drink some decoction and try it.”
Yang Fan shook his head helplessly and said: "What are you thinking about all day long? We have only been married for a few months, not even half a year. It is not normal to have no children. Besides, it is not your problem."
The two women immediately grasped the key point, and it was not their fault.
The two looked at each other suspiciously. Could it be the master's problem?
As soon as Yang Fan looked at them, he knew what they were thinking.
He smiled bitterly and said, "It's not my problem, sir."
"What's the problem?" the two asked together.
In this era, having children is a top priority, so the two of them cannot help but be nervous.
Yang Fan was a little depressed. He was only nineteen years old this year, so he had just become an adult, okay?
I'm not ready to be a father at such an early age.
Besides, as a newlywed, he hasn't fully enjoyed it yet, and he's a little reluctant to have a baby now.
But considering that it was quite painful for them to think about this all day long.
Then he said: "Have you seen me meditating every day? In fact, it is a kind of Qigong practice, uh, it is equivalent to the guidance technique of the Ming Dynasty."
"Master, are you a disciple of Taoism? Why do you practice Daoyin?" Lin Yueru asked curiously. In this era, Daoyin is a Taoist secret.
But then she remembered that the first time she met Yang Fan was in an inn in Zunhua.
That was the hidden stake of Dongchang. Master Tu Shanyong entertained Yang Fan at that time, and he was also present.
At that time, Tu Shanyong asked Yang Fan about his origins. Yang Fan once said that his teacher was called Xiaoyaozi. Tu Shanyong also asked whether the revered master was from the Taoist sect.
"I remembered, my master's master is called Xiaoyaozi, he should be a Taoist master." Xiao Niangpi also remembered. "Master, you won't abandon us and run away to become immortals, will you?"
Xiao Niangpi immediately became alert, if Yang Fan dared to imitate Zhang Slutty, abandoning his wife and son and running to the Zhongnan Mountains to practice Taoism and seek immortality. Just beat him to death. Let’s see if he still dares to get hot-headed.
Yang Fan saw the girl's eyebrows raised, and suddenly felt something bad. He quickly explained:
"Actually, you two don't have to think too much. This set of kung fu is for strengthening your body. I won't lose my mind and run away to become an immortal or something."
"This set of kung fu needs to be refined and transformed into qi in the early stages. Therefore, there will be no heirs until it is completed. As long as all the qi channels are opened and the kung fu is completed, it will naturally return to normal."
"So, you two, keep your hearts in your stomach and don't think about this matter all the time. Besides, you are not very young, so you have to have children after you are twenty. It's too early, and it's not good for your health. "
"You two are still young. You can play happily for a few years before you have a baby. Once you have a baby, you won't be as free as you are now."
After some coaxing from Yang Fan, the two of them became happy again.
The ship moved very slowly, mainly to keep pace with the march of the army. When the army rested at noon, they stopped the ship. In the afternoon, when the army set off, they continued to weigh anchor and set off again.
For three consecutive days, the army marched smoothly and had penetrated deep into the grassland without encountering the Mongols.
The staff officers were a little nervous, wondering what the Mongols were up to.
The lack of hostility made them nervous.
The scouting brigade of 300 people worked in three shifts, with one third being released every eight hours. All are one person and three horses, five people per team. Scout the enemy's situation around the army from a distance.
At noon on the fourth day, Yang Fan decided not to leave and set up camp on the spot.
Send the order, we will not leave today, let everyone have a good rest, and we will continue to set off tomorrow morning.
At the same time, they also began to increase the search scope and conduct large-scale reconnaissance of the enemy. Let’s first figure out the deployment of the Mongols. After all, it's not far from Toronto.
He left the fortress with great fanfare, but the Mongolians' meticulous work had already spread the news back. They probably know how powerful they are. They are also looking for a position for a scheduled decisive battle.
This is the grassland, their home field. They must choose the terrain that is favorable to them and fight Yang Fan's main force.
Now, the march has gone halfway and the decisive battle is getting closer.
This trek was quite strenuous as the infantry relied entirely on foot. Fortunately, it's not cold yet, and the soldiers all wear Jiefang rubber shoes, which are relatively relaxed. If the weather gets cold, they will wear suede leather shoes or even leather boots, which will be heavier.
Yang Fan felt that he could not just rush on the road, but should also maintain his physical strength appropriately. It was impossible for the Mongols not to stop them. You cannot fight when you are exhausted.
The campsite was soon found. A small piece of high ground by the river.
The highest point is probably more than twenty meters higher than the surrounding area. It's a small hill.
There is a very large lake here, which can accommodate 60 boats. Otherwise, it would be a long stretch on the river, which would not be conducive to defense.
The 3,600 troops guarding Qianhu Station were exactly the same as Yang Fan's regiment-level troops. Known as the Cheying Group. Camp at this time. The car camp group put the side car on the shore and surrounded it on three sides as a barrier.
The parking method of the car camp is different from that of Daming. In the Ming Dynasty, the side faces outwards, and the shaft and rear of the car are connected with steel hooks.
The car camp is located at the rear of the car. There is a distance of about five meters between vehicles, and the vehicle-mounted steel plates and brackets are used to create an effect similar to a modern construction site wall for defense.
The advantage is that there is no need to unload the pack horse. When you need to leave, you can leave at any time. After all, it takes a lot of time to unhook a horse and re-hitch it.
The horses sleep standing up, and Yang Fan's carriages are all four-wheeled carriages, and the horses do not bear weight. So there is no need to unload the horses while camping. As long as they are fed enough feed and water.
In the method of connecting end to end with the sides facing outward, the horses must be unloaded, otherwise, the horses will be attacked by the enemy.
Moreover, in a two-wheeled carriage, the horses bear a heavy load, and the horses cannot rest well unless they are unloaded. I had no energy the next day.
In Yang Fan's car camp, the rear of the car faces the outside, and the 500-pound copper-fired cannon installed at the back of the car also faces the outside. This relatively heavy artillery has strong recoil when fired on the side of the vehicle, and can easily damage the vehicle structure.
After the car camp is set up, it looks like a blue city wall from the outside. Standing on the grassland. The steel plate is three meters high and cannot be climbed without tools.
There is also a shooting hole for firing muskets and crossbows. There are also simple gates and small gates. It can be entered by a single person or by a large number of cavalry.
Behind the wall, there are watchtowers assembled with steel pipes every fifty meters for observation and as arrow towers.
All other troops camped in separate areas within the wall. Very safe.
According to the code of conduct and regulations, there are complete regulations for camping. Every camp area is closed and it is prohibited to wander around without orders. The entry and exit gates have passwords that change every day. Toilets have been dug in the camp and pressurized water wells have been drilled. Convenient for washing, drinking and cooking.
This kind of pressurized water well is very convenient and can be completed quickly by drilling it with a steel pipe. When leaving, just pull out the steel pipe and take it with you.
Yang Fan feels that groundwater is safer than river water and has fewer microorganisms, and the Mongols have a bad habit of throwing dead livestock into water sources. Many armies were defeated by the Mongolian germ warfare. Therefore, it is safer to dig wells and use groundwater.
It is right next to the river. Under normal circumstances, it is easy to get water from the river.
The supplies are all loaded on the ship, which greatly reduces the burden on the troops. Other troops carry three days' emergency rations and three basic ammunition.
But if we head deeper into the grassland, the transport group's seven-ton load capacity and four-wheeled caravan will be the main force of transportation.
Yang Fan's cowhide gold tent was camped at the highest point, where he could clearly see far away places around him. It is convenient for Yang Fan to command.
In the evening, Yang Fan and his two ladies stayed in the big tent. Guards camps were stationed all around.
Yang Fan planned to wait here for the Mongols to come to the decisive battle. This is a preset position that is beneficial to Yang Fan. If the Mongols don't come, then keep marching. Put more pressure on the Mongols.
