See you in the world

Chapter 378 Sharp weapon in winter
The food in the army can be described as hard to describe.

After entering the camp, Liu Fang took Yunjing and the others to get a bowl of food. No one was given preferential treatment, even Liu Fang, the biggest official here, was queuing up.

In such a situation, Yunjing and the others guessed that Liu Fang was sharing weal and woe with the soldiers. The fact is that as the biggest official here, he still had privileges, but he didn't use them.

In the past, when Yunjing and the others were studying, they had read about military generals and soldiers sharing joys and sorrows in books, and now they have seen it in person.

Each person has two bowls and a pair of chopsticks, one big bowl and one small bowl, and the big cook will fill it up with a big spoonful of rice, and then top it with a small spoonful of pickles, and the small bowl is for soup.

The rice is cooked with brown rice. You can vaguely see minced cucumbers in the pickles, and this thing smells a bit smelly. As for the soup, it is broth, but there are not a few drops of oil in the clear soup, let alone meat. .

That's all the food, nothing more.

Eating around the bonfire, Yun Jing noticed that Lu Wencheng and Hou Xicai tried their best not to show any abnormalities on their faces, but it was actually a little hard to swallow, especially the taste of pickles, they didn't even stop after a bite, it was uncomfortable to watch.

It is very difficult for them to achieve this step. Although not all scholars are pampered, they have hardly suffered such hardships. It can be seen from this that it is obvious that these two people really came to learn something, not to gilded.

Yun Jing didn't change his face, and even ate deliciously, no different from the satisfied soldiers around him.

Yunjing has long been used to this kind of life, not to mention that he was born in a farm family, even in the few years he spent with Li Qiu, there were more days when he was served with a plate of pickles or pickles.

Using his tongue flexibly to pick out a grain of sand in the brown rice and spit it out, Yunjing had already eaten, and Lu Wencheng and the others only ate half of it when they sent the bowls and chopsticks to the designated place.

Lu Wencheng and Hou Xicai looked at each other quietly, their eyes were conveying a meaning, they cannot be compared too much by Yunjing!

It's not that there is any desire to compare, the main reason is that both are scholars, and others can endure hardships, so why can't I?Especially with military experience.

So the two of them ate their food.

Liu Fang silently took all of this into consideration, and said to himself that these few scholars were much easier to carry than the previous ones, so they would be more worry-free.

Maybe it was Yunjing's previous performance that made Liu Fang happy. After he came back, Liu Fang took the initiative to talk to Yunjing and the others, and imparted some marching experience, which benefited Yunjing and others a lot.

As the sky darkened, Liu Fang ordered: "Young Master Yun will live in a tent with me in the evening, and stay with me to keep watch in the second half of the night. He is young and inexperienced. I will take it easy. Mr. Lu and Mr. Hou, you live with the adjutant." A tent, you are old and experienced, and the adjutant will keep watch until midnight"

"obey"

Yun Jing and the others nodded and said, without any objection, they are soldiers when they join the army, and everything must be obeyed.

Just at this time, a soldier holding a shield slipped and fell to the ground not far from them, and the soldier who was on the shield slid out more than ten meters away.

This scene caused a lot of laughter around, and some people even made fun of the soldier who fell down, saying that you can't even stand firmly, it's because your legs are weak, and you may be "not enough to feed" your daughter-in-law in the future.

The army is full of rough guys, it's rare to have fun, so I started talking about some nasty jokes...

"Brother Yun, what are you looking at? Let's go, go to rest, we have to keep watch in the second half of the night," Liu Fang patted Yun Jing on the shoulder and said.

With a twinkle in his eyes, Yun Jing turned his head and said, "Master Liu, I suddenly have an idea."

"Huh? What do you think?" Liu Fang was taken aback, and even Lu Wencheng, who was going to find the adjutant, subconsciously stopped and looked over.

Looking at the soldier who had fallen before, Yun Jing said: "I saw that soldier fall just now, I didn't mean to laugh at it, but I was just thinking, he is so big, he fell on the shield, and it hurts him in the snow." It is very easy to slide out so far. If we make the shield bigger, put the transported materials on the 'big shield', and then be pulled by the animals, will it be easier and faster to march? We save The marching time is over, the task can be completed earlier, and the soldiers and animals are not so tired."

Well, to put it bluntly, what Yunjing was talking about was the sledge, a sharp tool for transporting things in the snow. He just found a suitable opportunity to propose it at this time. He had this idea for a long time, but he just joined the army today, so he found the opportunity to say come out.

Hearing what he said, Liu Fang and the others glanced at each other, then frowned thoughtfully, and then looked at the smooth marks left by the soldiers on the snow after sliding under the light of the fire, and their eyes slowly lit up.

None of the people present were idiots, and according to what Yun Jing said, they quickly figured out the way in their minds.

Liu Fang got up immediately and said, "You'll know if you can try it. I remember that when he fell, the front of the shield under him was tilted up, so the shield was not embedded in the snow when he was sliding. "Being a means of transportation should work, and there are craftsmen with the army. I will try to find a way for them to build a 'big shield'..."

After speaking, Liu Fang ran away in a hurry, and then the craftsman who had already rested was called up.

There is no material, so go straight to cut a tree and come back. The craftsman is an ordinary person, and the movement is slow. Liu Fang, who has a mid-acquired cultivation base, splits the wood and planks by himself, but the details need to be completed by the craftsman.

It took only half an hour to do this, and a huge 'shield' was ready, four meters long and three meters wide, with one end tilted up, and the bottom was slightly polished to make it not very smooth.

Then Liu Fang arranged for people to move the materials on the one or two ox carts to the 'big shield', and then led another ox to pull it.

Not to mention the result, the ox pulled the pile of things without much effort. It was actually not easy, but it was much easier than pulling the ox cart. Usually the wheels of the ox cart got stuck in the snow and the soldiers had to help push it. , Now there is no need for soldiers to help.

After some experiments, Liu Fang was shocked, so effortless?In this way, it is faster and less labor-intensive than the bullock cart on the road under normal circumstances!

Moreover, if all the materials are used in this way, even the soldiers can sit on the 'big shield' and be pulled by the animals to march, which is estimated to be faster than during the day.

After finding out that it was indeed effective, Liu Fang looked at Yunjing and said excitedly, "This method is really possible, Mr. Yun, how did you think of it?"

"Um, I just got inspired by watching that soldier fall just now," Yun Jing laughed.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Fang said, "Brother Yun, I don't even know what to say. Everyone saw that scene, and it turned out that you were the only one who thought of it. You were a great help."

Looking at Yunjing in admiration, Hou Xicai said with shame: "Brother Yun is a great talent, I'm ashamed of myself."

"Where is it, I just had a whim," Yun Jing waved his hand.

At this time, Lu Wencheng said: "Can we build more of this 'big shield'? If we all use this method to transport supplies, I'm afraid we will be able to reach our destination tomorrow."

With a smile on his face, he was immediately depressed. Liu Fang said: "Yes, it is possible, but the problem is that we don't have so many materials to make it. Where can we cut down trees in the middle of the night? It is not enough to cut down all the surrounding trees. Moreover, after changing tools , don’t you want the previous ox cart and horse cart?”

Lu Wencheng thought so too, materials and time did not allow it.

Yun Jing said in a timely manner: "Actually, we don't need to build all the 'big shields' to replace the ox carts and carriages. We can modify the original ox carts and carriages. Have you ever seen bamboo rafts? Use wooden boards to make bamboo rafts. , and then fix the wheels of the ox cart and carriage on it, and a bamboo raft-shaped plank on one side, the effect should be similar, save trouble, save materials, save time, kill three birds with one stone!"

"This...should work? After all, it doesn't matter if it's a 'big shield' or the 'bamboo raft' as Brother Yun said, but they are all placed on top of the snow and carried by animals," Hou Xi thought for a while. .

After pondering for a while, Liu Fang said: "You will know if it works or not. I asked the craftsman to dismantle the previous 'big shield' and fix it under the vehicle."

As he said that, he ran away in a hurry.

Not long after, it turned out that it really worked, even better than the previous "big shield". Liu Fang was so excited that he laughed, as if his wife had given birth to a son.

Xiluulu..., another three fast horses galloped towards the direction they came in during the night in the wind and snow...

Liu Fang came to Yunjing's side with burning eyes and said: "Brother Yun, this method is very promising, and it is worth promoting by the whole army. In today's ice and snow world, logistics use this method to transport supplies, which will greatly improve efficiency and speed. Food and grass go first. This method is useful." Great merit, I have asked people to go back and report the truth immediately, you just wait for the reward from above, uh, I forgot that you are a scholar, you have no official position yet, and joining the army is only temporary, but no matter what, your credit will definitely noted down"

Unexpectedly, in such a hurry, Yun Jing said: "It's too late, isn't it too hasty for those people to go back?"

"It's okay, anyway, they ride horses, we are not far from the camp, and we will be there soon," Liu Fang waved his hand.

Well, Yunjing also went with him.

The sharp weapon of the sledge can greatly improve the efficiency and increase the combat effectiveness here in a disguised way. The whole army is also happy to see the success of Yunjing.

In fact, Yun Jing doesn't care about his credit, he has already done enough...

Liu Fang continued: "Because it's still early, the surrounding trees are enough to cut down the materials. It is very simple to transform the vehicle. We can use the brand new vehicle to go on the road tomorrow morning. It just needs to work hard for the craftsmen, but they just do this. of"

Lu Wencheng said from the side: "I'm thinking, with this kind of tool to carry things, on top of the snow, you don't have to worry about the horses and horses getting stuck in the snow or pits. I don't know how much trouble it will save!"

"That's right, that's exactly the way it is. You scholars have a good brain," Liu Fang clapped his hands.

Lu Wencheng said: "Where is it? I'm just picking up people's teeth. If Brother Yun didn't think of this method, how could I think of these things?"

The craftsman was furiously modifying the vehicle. After chatting for a few words, Liu Fang couldn't sit still and ran to help. Everyone was not sleepy, and the camp was full of excitement.

Seeing the remodeling of each vehicle, Hou Xicai and the others couldn't restrain their smiles. Although the solution was proposed by Yunjing, the main credit for their being together is Yunjing's. Can also add one.

After thinking about it, Lu Wencheng asked Yun Jing: "Brother Yun, you came up with the solution, how about giving this tool a name?"

"This thing is crawling on the ground to transport supplies, just like plowing the field, why not call it a sledge", Yun Jing thought for a while and said, a familiar name, it should be more friendly...
