It's close to the time of application.
The sun is getting westward.
After having some simple meals.
Xu Yi and his party were led by Yu Chongwen, the quartermaster.
He walked slowly and slowly to the largest arsenal in the king's camp.
That is, a regular arsenal that stores weapons such as swords, guns, axes, bows, crossbows, and arrows.
Accompanied by unusually dull creaking sounds.
The gate of Changwuku, which was as thick as a city wall, was finally slowly opened with the concerted efforts of more than thirty or forty soldiers.
"Your Majesty, please."
Wait until the Chang Arsenal door is completely opened.
Quartermaster Yu Chongwen immediately extended his hand in greeting with a respectful face.
"Let's go together."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then walked towards Chang Wukuu without hesitation.
Fang Yi stepped into Chang Wenku.
Everyone felt a sense of coolness all over their body.
As far as the eye can see.
Rows of unusually neatly arranged spears, axes and other objects were clearly visible.
If it weren't for the sharp edges of the spear and axe, they would all be tied with a layer of oil paper.
I think the interior of Changwu Library must be even cooler at this time.
Xu Yixing walked to a weapons rack, reached out and took out a long gun.
Wait until all the grease paper at the tip of the gun is removed.
The extremely bright and cold spear tip instantly appeared in everyone's sight.
Xu Yi handed the oiled paper in his hand to Yu Chongwen, the quartermaster who stood beside him.
Then he held the gun in both hands and made a stabbing motion.
Xu Yi pointed his gun at an uninhabited area, and while exerting force on his waist, his hands shook rapidly several times.
The spear in his hand instantly made a whimpering sound.
It's too late, it's fast.
Xu Yi held the spear in his hand and pulled out a very beautiful spear. Then he exerted force on his waist again, and the spear pierced straight out at an extremely tricky angle.
After counting the interest.
Xu Yi handed over the spear in his hand to Yu Chongwen with a normal expression.
Then move forward again.
A full half-quarter of an hour passed.
Xu Yi and his party had just walked out of the forest of spears and axes.
And after coming out of the forest of guns and axes.
What he could see were bows and arrows of different specifications.
At this time, although the bows and arrows were of different specifications, they were all tied behind their backs.
Xu Yi casually picked up two bows and arrows with one step and one horse.
After looking at it carefully, I briefly tried it again.
Not long after.
Xu Yi, Yang Xianan, Xin Sixuan and others moved forward again.
After inspecting the entire Chang Arsenal.
Time has quietly approached Youshi.
During the entire inspection process, Xu Yi rarely asked questions.
The main purpose of today's inspection is to see with one's own eyes the most realistic situation of various types of armaments.
As for the actual number of various types of armaments.
Xu Yi has long been familiar with it.
"Go to the granary."
Xu Yi walked out of Changwuku and immediately gave instructions.
"Follow the order!"
Yu Chongwen cupped his fists and saluted, and then led the way again.
Two or three quarters of an hour later.
Xu Yi, Yang Xian'an, Xin Sixuan and his party arrived at the Grade A granary without any delay.
Accompanied by extremely dull creaking sounds.
The gate of the Grade A granary, which was as good as the city gate, slowly opened with the concerted efforts of thirty or forty soldiers.
"Your Majesty, please."
After the door of the No. A granary is completely opened.
Yu Chongwen then extended his hand in greeting with a respectful face.
"Let's go together."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then walked to the granary slowly and quickly.
It is different from the coldness in Chang Arsenal.
The A-size granary is full of dryness.
Xu Yi took a grain inspection thorn from Yu Chongwen's hand.
Pick any stone you want
food.
Prick the sacks one by one with grain inspection thorns.
When the grain inspection thorn comes out of the sack.
Grains of yellow and orange grains adhere to the grooves of the grain inspection thorns and are taken out of the sack.
Xu Yi reached out and picked up a few grains from the grooves of the grain thorns.
Then put it in your mouth, and when you bite the grain, it makes a crisp sound.
"Can."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, then moved forward again and continued to choose at will.
When Xu Yi and his party walked out of the Grade A granary.
The western sky has been dyed half red by the sunset.
"It's still early."
"Everyone, please follow me to the medicine warehouse and take a look."
Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at the sunset on the horizon, and then spoke.
"yes."
Yang Xian'an, Xin Sixuan, Yu Chongwen and others immediately clasped their fists and saluted.
Two or three quarters of an hour later.
Xu Yi and his party finally arrived in front of the medicine warehouse, which covered an area of seventy or eighty acres.
The medicine warehouse is surrounded by walls.
Looking outside.
Except for the tall medicine warehouses inside the wall.
There are also more than twenty or thirty two-story wooden buildings.
Most of the people who live in the two-story wooden building are from good families in Yandi.
Although this group of people is separated from Wang Daying's military system.
However, they will also conduct drills according to the standards of Wang Daying soldiers every now and then.
The rest were officials affiliated with the good doctors of the Yan Palace and doctors Xu Yi searched for from Yan.
Although this group of people do not need to practice every now and then like those good people.
However, simple life-saving medical skills need to be taught to the soldiers of Wang Daying from time to time.
"I will pay my respects to the prince."
"The common people pay their respects to the prince."
Xu Yi and his party arrived at the main entrance of the medicine warehouse.
Inside, the officials, doctors, and sons of the good doctors of Prince Yan's palace went out to greet him in a panic.
"Have you had a meal?"
Xu Yi chuckled and waved his hand, indicating that everyone didn't need to be nervous.
"My lord, thank you for your concern."
"I have all had my meals."
The leader, a good doctor named Hu, cupped his hands and answered.
The words are over.
Doctor Hu Liang immediately moved out of the way, raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please."
"Lead the way." Xu Yi nodded slightly.
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Hu Liang bowed his hands again and then silently led the way.
Everyone walked to the medicine warehouse wall.
As far as the eye can see, there are hills piled up in the open space around the medicine warehouse.
At this time, all the hills were covered with tarpaulins.
The tarpaulin is surrounded by stones, wood and other objects.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
"These are all herbs from Nuqicheng."
"Sixty percent of them will be ready for storage around the application time tomorrow."
"The other 40% will take another three to five days."
Doctor Hu Liang pointed to the stacked hills and introduced them.
"Are the medical kits needed for the soldiers ready for the expedition?"
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then asked.
"Go back to your lord."
"Everything is ready."
Doctor Hu Liang answered with his hands raised.
"Let's go together."
Xu Yi nodded slightly.
"yes."
Dr. Hu Liang agreed with his hand, and then led the way again.
Nearly a quarter of an hour later.
Xu Yi and his party finally walked around the last hill and arrived in front of the main entrance of a medicine warehouse.
With the concerted efforts of several good family members, the main door of the medicine warehouse slowly opened.
"Your Majesty, please."
Doctor Hu Liang held a lantern and stretched out his hand to say goodbye.
"Guide the way."
Xu Yi nodded slightly.
"yes."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Hu Liang immediately led the way with several good family members holding lanterns.
Under the light of the lantern.
A large wooden box of lipstick paint was clearly visible in the medicine warehouse.
Dr. Hu Liang took a few steps forward and immediately opened a large red-painted wooden box.
Revealing what's inside.
"Your Majesty."
"The wooden boxes in front of me are filled with medicines for typhoid fever."
"Eighty percent of them have been packed into more than 10,000 small packages as indicated in your letter."
"The remaining 20% will be divided into large packages for fifty people according to your letter."
Dr. Hu Liang handed over his hand to report.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then signaled Dr. Hu Liang to continue moving forward.
Not long after.
Xu Yi and his party walked to another part of the medicine warehouse.
The place is still full of large red-painted wooden boxes.
Dr. Hu Liang stepped forward and opened one of the red painted wooden boxes.
Inside the large red-painted wooden box were rows of coarse porcelain bottles the size of a child's palm.
"Your Majesty."
"The medicines contained in it are all golden sore medicines."
"According to your letter, half is contained in coarse porcelain bottles, 30% is contained in water bags, and 20% is contained in gourds."
Dr. Hu Liang handed over his report and reported it truthfully.
In the next half hour.
Dr. Hu Liang successively introduced medicine packages using realgar powder as the main medicinal material to expel snakes and insects.
A medicine pack used to prevent yin and yang diseases.
Medicine packs for acclimatization, etc.
And according to Xu Yi's previous letter, they were divided into three specifications: large, medium and small.
Half an hour later.
When Xu Yi and his party walked out of the medicine warehouse.
Night has already fallen quietly and I don’t know when.
After bidding farewell to Dr. Hu Liang and the medicine warehouse.
Xu Yi, Yang Xian'an, Xin Sixuan and his party immediately returned to the military aircraft building.
In the lobby on the first floor of the military aircraft building.
Xu Yi walked slowly and quickly to the top, and then sat down on the Taishi chair.
"Let's eat first."
"After dinner, call all the generals together to discuss sending troops."
Xu Yi sat on the Taishi chair and gave instructions.
"yes."
Yang Xian'an, Xin Sixuan and other generals heard the words and acted accordingly.
After several hours of patrolling, everyone had already felt hungry again.
Three or four quarters of an hour later.
Qu Baotian and the generals who led more than 500 troops in the Mobei expedition all arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the military aircraft building.
The night became darker and darker at this moment.
.......
.......
Unknowingly.
It's already half past midnight.
The discussion on sending troops that lasted for more than an hour finally came to an end.
After all the generals in the lobby on the first floor of the military aircraft building had left.
Xu Yi stood up from the imperial chair, holding a warm yellow lantern and walking slowly towards the escalator.
Not long after.
In the study room on the second floor of the military aircraft building.
Accompanied by the lighting of several oil lamps.
The dimly lit study on the second floor suddenly became as bright as day.
Xu Yi extinguished the lantern in his hand and put it aside.
Then he picked up the teapot and slowly poured water into the inkstone.
After the inkstone is of the right shade.
Xu Yi took out several pieces of yellowed rice paper and laid them flat on the writing desk.
He wrote down many important matters in the discussion about dispatching troops slowly and slowly.
The first thing to bear the brunt was the total number of soldiers and horses sent to Mobei this time.
Needless to say, there is no need to mention the 5,000 soldiers who stood out from the army competition and went through months of inhumane training.
Pretending to be Xin Sixuan's bodyguard, protecting him personally
There is no need to mention the two hundred Wenxin Hundred Guards and Chixin Guards who protect Xu Yi.
besides.
The grain transport team that escorted grain and grass out of the fortress in the early stage, and the messenger team that was responsible for delivering military orders, etc.
They are all in the midst of this big discussion about sending troops.
In the study room on the second floor of the military aircraft building.
Xu Yi paused slightly.
Then he wrote on the yellowed rice paper again: "The food transport team has three thousand soldiers and horses, supported by six thousand civilians."
"After leaving the fortress, we will place provisions and baggage within three hundred miles outside the fortress."
"After all the food, grass and baggage have been distributed, a thousand men will be left to garrison, and the rest will retreat to Juyong City."
"Thousands of men and three thousand cavalry. If their whereabouts are exposed and they are outmatched, they can burn their food with fire and retreat to Juyong City."
The writing stops and the writing is completed.
Xu Yi held the Langhao pen and quietly looked at the brand new handwriting on the yellowed rice paper.
He hid grain and grass three hundred miles outside the fortress and left only a thousand soldiers and horses to garrison.
The headquarters went into battle lightly.
Xu Yi's move is truly crazy.
If it weren't for the presence of Li Shoushan in the army who can be called a living map of Mobei.
Xu Yi would never take such a risk.
And Li Shoushan was no one else.
Surprisingly, it was Zhao Fusheng, the third son of the former general of the army, leading the horse pawns.
After the decisive battle in Mobei, he was captured in the camp of King Hunxie of the Xiongnu.
Later, due to fate, he escaped from King Hunxie's camp with Qingyang Li.
After hiding in Mobei for more than ten years, he finally returned to his homeland with Qing Yang.
With this person here, it is not undesirable to hide food and grass within three hundred miles outside the wall.
Even if they were discovered by the Huns, they would be defeated.
The thousand soldiers of Wang's camp who were stationed could also burn their food and retreat.
With the current Yandi grain and grass reserves.
Even if all the stored grain and grass were burned, Xu Yi would not feel too distressed.
As for the so-called baggage, it means arrows and other items.
It is better to destroy than to endow the enemy.
After a while.
Xu Yi calmed down for a moment, then took up his pen again and wrote on the yellowed rice paper: "The fifteenth uncle fell into the camp."
"The men are riding with both hands, and all the soldiers from the uncle level up are wearing half armor."
"Supplemented by a horse bow, a hand crossbow, three strings, forty arrows, and twenty crossbow bolts."
"A spear, a wild goose feather knife, and a pickaxe."
"Enter the camp first, Uncle Twenty-Fifth."
"The scouts have five hundred soldiers, one man and three cavalry."
"The soldiers are all wearing cloth-covered iron armor."
"Supplemented by a hand crossbow and thirty crossbow bolts."
"One Yanling sword, one dagger and one dagger."
"Poisonous smoke, poisonous weeds, poisonous needles, blowpipes, burning oil, etc..."
"The remaining twenty uncles."
"One man rides two horses, and the sergeants below are all wearing half armor."
"Half are supplemented by a horse bow, a hand crossbow with three strings, forty arrows, and twenty crossbow bolts."
"Half of them are supplemented by one crossbow with ten rounds or twenty repeating crossbows, and sixty featherless arrows."
"They are all equipped with a spear, a wild goose feather sword, and a pickaxe."
"The tenth uncle of Xuanjiaying."
"One person and four riders, carrying a thousand pairs of iron pagoda heavy armor."
"Wear cloth-covered iron armor when marching."
"Wear iron pagoda heavy armor when you arrive."
"Supplemented by a horse bow, three strings, and fifty arrows."
"It is equipped with spears, long axes, wild goose feather knives, pickaxes, iron bones and other weapons."
"Three hundred messengers."
"There are three knights per man, and the soldiers are all wearing half armor."
"Carry command flags, war drums, suonas, horns, gongs..."
「……」
「……」
Not long after.
The yellowed rice paper is already covered with dense
handwriting.
There are nearly 14,000 horses for the soldiers.
Not to mention all kinds of ordnance, food and other items.
Peep under the leopard in the tube.
It is obvious to start a war.
The price to be paid behind it is so huge.
And this does not include the cost of recruiting civilian laborers and corvees.
And this is also one year since Xu Yi became a feudal lord.
The fundamental reason why we never dared to relax even a little bit.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue playing music and dancing.
In fact, his own background and ambition do not allow him to be even the slightest bit relaxed.
From then on, the feudal lord tried his best to obtain weapons and war horses from the prince Xu Yong.
As well as compilation and sales basic mathematics.
After arriving at Fanyan territory, he refined fine salt in Xiaoyin Mountain.
Cooperate with the Zhu family to build a smelting workshop and a forging workshop.
Build a medicinal jade workshop in Xialuo City to refine medicinal jade and so on.
During this period, there were many sales of gifts for feudal lords and weddings.
The hardships can only be understood by oneself.
If there is no previous step by step.
Where does today’s pursuit of excellence come from?
How come today's soldiers and horses are so strong! The warehouse is full of food and grass! The arsenal is full!
