He had a rough idea of Zhang Kai's character.
To put it bluntly, he was a bit of an official fan, and his time under Lao Song had already corrupted him.
Of course, as I got older, I worried too much and lost my enterprising spirit.
"Master Zhao, how much ammunition do we plan to bring? What about firearms? Will those big guys bring them?"
The person who spoke was Wang Er. This second master was currently Zhao Ming's capable general. He was very quick in military obedience and execution. Zhao Ming mostly left many military matters to him.
"How many things did you get from Zhang Li before?" Zhao Ming asked, he hadn't had time to hear the report on those materials before.
Wang Er couldn't remember, so he quickly waved to his subordinates, and soon he brought over a list with very sloppy handwriting.
Zhao Ming glanced down and joked, "You kid must learn to practice calligraphy and keep up with your reading."
At this moment, Zhao Ming seemed to remember that there seemed to be very few people in the Song Army who could read. After Wang Er became the company commander under Lao Song, he took the night shift provided by the army because of need.
He doesn't know much. He can only write some common words and read some common words. He can only guess at rare words and complex and uncommon words.
"Master Zhao, you are making things too difficult for me. I never want to experience that kind of night school again."
Wang Er frowned, with a grimace on his face that showed repulsion.
"This is an order!" Zhao Ming's face darkened, and he glanced at the monkey in the distance.
"Yes! Don't look at me, and you! You too!"
"Ah? Why are you bringing me with you? Master Zhao, do you have any objections to me?" Monkey scratched his head, his reaction was more intense than Wang Er's.
Typical stress reaction of a bad student.
At this time, Wang Er began to report on the status of this batch of supplies, "Master Zhao, in that batch of arms, there are a total of 100,000 rounds of long rifle ammunition, as well as four light machine guns and two heavy machine guns.
There are a total of 10,000 rounds of various types of ammunition for machine guns and a total of 500 grenades.
In addition, there is some food, which totals five hundred shi. "
Hearing this, Zhao Ming was really surprised. He didn't expect that this chief officer was really generous for a while.
"It seems that our Chief Zhang has some conscience, and I suddenly want to take advantage of him again."
Zhao Ming rubbed his chin and smacked his lips, feeling it was a pity.
"Master Zhao, can we take these things with us?" Wang Er asked again.
This question put Zhao Ming in a bit of trouble.
Why logistics is needed in war, even in future generations, is very important. In fact, these munitions are really very heavy.
Each bullet of these long guns weighs about 30 grams, and they carry 10,000 rounds, which is about 600 kilograms.
But for a team of 1,000 people and 10,000 rounds of ammunition, on average, each person can fire ten shots. After ten shots, they will all be like burning fire sticks.
Therefore, at least 30,000 rounds of ammunition must be guaranteed, totaling nearly 1,800 kilograms.
This weight will not affect the overall horsepower too much. After all, it will not be much if it is shared among more than a thousand people.
Zhao Ming will also bring an additional 100 horses to carry supplies.
So 30,000 rounds is completely acceptable.
But in addition, there are machine gun bullets. If you don't bring the machine gun, you will really have no confidence in facing a Russian battalion with enhanced firepower.
Even if there is a huge opportunity, without fire suppression, the casualty rate will be greatly increased.
After a little calculation, Zhao Ming generally felt that it was feasible.
"For long guns and bullets, carry 30,000 rounds. In addition, carry two light machine guns and one heavy machine gun, each carrying 10,000 rounds of machine gun bullets.
Bring all five hundred grenades! "
After a rough calculation, the total weight is about 1900 kilograms!
This will definitely greatly increase the burden on the team, but the team can bring less dry food. At worst, they can arrive at the mine and provide supplies in a humane way nearby.
But these guns and ammunition must be prepared, otherwise even if there was a great opportunity in the past, they would just kill people.
Now more grain is grown, but with less rations, it is barely enough to divide the weight.
After all, there are a hundred horses dedicated to carrying cargo.
After settling this matter, Zhao Ming has decided to set off tomorrow morning or tomorrow night, depending on the size of the wind and snow tomorrow.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to cover up the footprints in the snow, and you would have to drive out in heavy snow to take precautions.
Otherwise, if someone from outside Mongolia notices his movements, it will be difficult not to guarantee that they will not come to steal your home.
Because of the last night attack, Zhao Ming could only go west and take the left wing to go around the mountains. After going around the mountains, he had to trek a long distance into the Gobi Desert.
It will be a very difficult journey. It is estimated that if we don't stop for a moment, we will need to travel for a day and a night to get out of the Gobi Desert.
The brothers were still training, and at this time, the cry of an eagle attracted everyone.
Everyone looked up and couldn't help but exclaimed again and again. Some brothers from the Zhensong Army looked a little confused, but the herdsmen brothers couldn't help chanting something loudly, as if they were praying for something.
This eagle seems to be their spiritual totem and attracts much attention.
Then everyone saw the eagle swooping down, then flapping its wings and slowing down, and finally landed on Master Zhao's right shoulder. It did not do any further harm to Zhao Ming. Instead, it was combing its hair.
"Is it true that you live forever in heaven?"
"It's Xiongkuru!"
"It's Shenghuo'er!"
Various exclamations continued, and the names were also different. Xiongkulu is the Manchu name for Haidongqing, while Shenghuoer is the Manchu nickname for Haidongqing.
Among the herdsmen there are not only a large number of Mongolians, but also a small number of Manchus, all left over from the past.
These Manchus are now almost assimilated by the Mongols, and most of the time they speak Mongolian and Chinese.
But at this time, they all looked at Zhao Ming and the falcon on Zhao Ming's shoulder.
However, Zhao Ming just glanced at the God of Ten Thousand Eagles, and then gently reached out to touch him. However, the other person was not displeased at all. Instead, he rubbed his head against his palm affectionately, looking like he was enjoying it very much.
Many people had already knelt down when they saw this scene. The scene was a little sudden and unprepared for a while, which made the busy women, children and children in the distance very curious and looked over here.
The significance of Haidongqing on the grassland is extraordinary. It symbolizes courage, wisdom, perseverance, integrity, strength, pioneering, perseverance and the spirit of never giving up.
It is somewhat similar to the dragon and phoenix totem worship culture in Han culture, and Haidongqing influenced the Manchus, Mongols, and even early Jurchens to a certain extent.
Especially the Jurchens and Manchus, the latter can be regarded as an extension of the former. They are all located in dangerous places with sparse populations.
The Jurchens originated in the land of Blackwater in the early days. They survived under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, which was at its peak at the time. From the initial 3,000 people, they fought all the way and overthrew the vast Liao Dynasty. They once posed a great threat to the Song Dynasty at that time. .
With only a few thousand people, and in such a bitter cold place, it is hard to say that there is no totem culture that has had an impact.
Even today, the worship culture of Haitonqing still exists on the grasslands. It was not until later generations that Haidongqing gradually became a pure spiritual symbol.
But at this time, everyone still worshiped Hai Dongqing with a hint of theological belief.
This can also explain why a large number of people knelt down at this time.
