Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 661
Gao Wushi was taken aback. At this moment, the wolf soldiers had just left, and it wasn't meal time, and the inn wouldn't come before the meal, so who was knocking on the door?
Just as he was wondering, a voice came from outside: "Master, the younger one is Gao Zhang."

Gao Wushi was immediately overjoyed, and laughed, "How did you find me?" Then he went to open the door.

When he opened the door, he saw not only Gao Zhang, but also a dozen other members of the Gao family.Although there are too many guards in the Gao family, and Gao Yushi often changes people around him, so he can't name them one by one, but after all, he brought a total of [-] people to Guangxi this time, and everyone in front of him is very beautiful. Familiar face, it can't be wrong, it's our own people here.

Although the time was only half a month, after experiencing so many things, Gao Yushi suddenly felt a feeling of encountering an old friend in a foreign land.

Let them all enter the room, Gao Yushi rarely let them all sit down and talk, but obviously the servants dare not be so presumptuous, in the end only Gao Zhang sat down with half of his buttocks.

Of course Gao Zhang did not dare to take the initiative to ask Gao Yushi what happened recently. This is not his identity to ask, because Gao Yushi would say that he can only tell him how he tracked down and found Gao Yushi.

After listening to Gao Wushi, he was also quite emotional. Although Gao Zhang said that he violated his order and did not withdraw all of them to Liuzhou, but the "big army" withdrew, and he led a dozen people to chase him thousands of miles away. cannot be erased.

Gao Wushi praised them a few words, and said: "This time I went out for a walk, and I have a deeper understanding of Guangxi, and I have made some arrangements for Guangxi, but now we can't do anything, we still have to go back to Liuzhou It will be easier to deal with later. You didn’t come on horseback, and you can’t go much faster than me, so you might as well go back to Liuzhou with me.”

Naturally, Gao Zhang has no problem, as long as he can ensure Gao Yushi's safety, he can do whatever Gao Yushi says about other matters, so there is no need to worry too much.

Gao Wushi asked him again: "Although there was no fight this time, you have seen the Guangxi Guanjun and the wolf soldiers from the Cen and Huang families. What do you think of the wolf soldiers' combat effectiveness?"

Gao Zhang seemed to have thought about this issue, and said without thinking: "It's hard to say how the fight will be, but judging from the march, these wolf soldiers should at least be very good at fighting in mountain forest areas, with extremely rich experience, traveling through mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground. In addition, their obedience is very high, and the hierarchy is quite strict, and the chieftain speaks like an imperial edict."

Gao Wushi nodded, it seems that Gao Zhang's views are very similar to his.

But Gao Zhang added a little more, saying: "However, the equipment of the wolf soldiers is not good. I have noticed that even the elite wolf soldiers around Miss Huang and Young Master Cen Qi are equipped with weapons and various equipment that are not even as good as those of the guards. The soldiers are pretty bad, and this will seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the wolf soldiers. If our family guards fight with the wolf soldiers, they will have a big advantage in weapons, but it's hard to say about the armor..."

"Why is it difficult to say about armor?" Gao Wushi was a little surprised: "Although the family guards are generally not equipped with heavy armor such as mountain armor, leather armor and cotton armor are all high-quality goods."

"That's unless you're going to fight in the north." Gao Zhang said with a wry smile, "It's too hot here in Guangxi. If you really go to war, you will definitely not be able to wear armor at ordinary times. You can only wear armor temporarily after encountering the enemy. In this case, even if you have heavy armor, it may be too late. It is difficult to say whether leather armor and cotton armor can defend against wolf soldiers."

Gao Wushi was very surprised: "Why can't I prevent it?"

Gao Zhang said: "I don't know if the master has noticed that the long soldiers used by most wolf soldiers are different from those in the north. They use a kind of bamboo spear. I don't know what kind of bamboo it is. It's not very thick, but it seems that after What method has it been treated? It is very tough. Although only the spearhead of this bamboo spear is made of fine iron, but because the spear body is very long and strong, if it is used for stabbing, the leather armor and cotton armor may not have much protection.

In addition, they not only have bamboo spears, but also bamboo short spears, which are also bamboo body and iron tip, which look like they are used for throwing.This kind of small weapon has never been fought against before, but when I was training in Jizhen, I heard a few veterans of the Southern Army mention it. They said that in the past, the wolf soldiers under Mrs. Wa's command had this kind of weapon. If more than a hundred people threw it together If it is said, it is very powerful, at least most of the Japanese pirates could not resist it back then. "

Sure enough, people of different professions have different perspectives on problems. Gao Pragmatism has traveled a long distance with wolf soldiers. He just thinks that the equipment of wolf soldiers looks terrible, but he has never really paid attention to their equipment. What the hell is going on with weapons and equipment.

In fact, he also discovered these bamboo weapons, but at the time he simply thought that the chieftain was poor, he just cut some bamboo and sharpened it and put an iron spear tip on it to equip the wolf soldiers with weapons, but he didn't expect that bamboo spears are also exquisite.

Hmm... Presumably in addition to saving costs, adapting measures to local conditions is also an aspect.As for Gao Zhang's statement that the species of these bamboos are unknown, and the processing methods are not clear, Gao Pragmatic has some ideas.

It's not that he knows what kind of bamboo it is. Unless he asks Huang Zhiting, he won't know it at all, because there are nearly forty kinds of bamboo in China even in later generations, and there were more in "ancient times". If you don't study this, how can you figure it out?

But when it comes to processing methods, he knows the simplest method: soaking in tung oil.

Why does he know?He was a southerner in his previous life. When he was young, he saw a lot of bamboo materials being processed in his hometown, and almost all of them were inseparable from tung oil.Although he was young at that time and didn't pay much attention to it, he still knew some benefits of soaking in tung oil, such as anti-aging, stronger and so on.

A weapon made of ordinary bamboo may be useless after a battle, but it will definitely not be used if it is seriously soaked in tung oil. Unless it is hard battle damage, it will definitely be fine for a few years.In many areas in the south, bamboo soaked in tung oil is used to build houses, such as bamboo buildings, which is too common. People's houses do not need to be replaced with bamboo for decades. Is this not strong?Not anti-aging?

Well, thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that tung oil is a thing that has been sold as a foreign trade fist product in modern society. It is indeed a bit powerful...

The key is that Guangxi has no shortage of bamboo or tung trees. The wolf soldiers use such weapons according to local conditions. They are really economical and easy to use, and they are tailor-made.

But, it doesn't mean that I, Gao, can't help them improve. At least their iron spearheads still have to be made of iron. Where does the best iron in Daming come from?Jinghua Iron Works!

As for other weapons... Forget it, if the wolf soldiers must be equipped with firearms, it may be a waste of their bravery. Besides, it is more expensive to use firearms to fight. Someone Gao probably has to advance military expenses this time, so he can still Save a little is a little.

Forget about the armor, he didn't have much involvement in the armor industry, he even bought the leather armor and cotton armor for his own servants, so how could that money be wasted on the wolf soldiers... anyway, the chieftains don't care much about it. Take the natives seriously.

To prepare a small boost for the wolf soldiers, Gao Yushi felt that he was worthy of his future allies, and now it was time to consider his own preparations for sending troops.

Although the horoscope has not been written yet, this question can only be advanced and not postponed. Specifically, how many armed servants need to be called, what kind of weapons and armor should be equipped for them, how many supplements after war damage need to be prepared, how much food and grass need to be provided, and How to arrange the transportation route, and even how many military attendants and corresponding medicines need to be prepared, etc., must be considered in advance.

Gao Yushi has positioned himself very early on, that is, whether he can learn to command and fight is not important, but he must do a good job in logistics support.

How can security work be done well?It's nothing more than the old saying: Everything is forewarned, and nothing is forewarned.
