Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 638
Cheng Yaojin never expected that there are so many specialties in this ration.

Liu Mu said at this time: "Here, let me lead the team with two guards. These rations cannot be flowed out for the time being, and there are some small details about how to eat them."

"Success." Zhang Shigui immediately went to order soldiers.

According to Zhang Shigui's order, there is no reason for the emergency training, but two teams need a mid-distance rapid march.

This is the Xuanjia Army, they are all elite, and they are directly under the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

The two groups, each with 200 people, assembled within the time of one stick of incense.Liumu doesn't have enough rations here, but you can go to Huayuan County to get them. There is enough rations for one hundred thousand troops for a month. Twenty miles away.

To be fair, Liumu's team carried bricks of the same weight as the rations, and exchanged bricks for rations when they arrived in Huayuan.

Liu Mu sent a guard to go first on horseback, and asked Huayuan County to open a warehouse to prepare individual rations.

In the camp, the two regiments were given two quarters of an hour to organize their equipment, and then set off immediately.

After the two regiments left the camp, Cheng Yaojin took off the saddle bridge basket from Liu Muyi's guard's horse, carried it and walked into the house.After seeing Zhang Shigui, he quickly followed.

Inside the house, Cheng Yaojin smiled cheerfully: "Let Lao Cheng see if there are any other good things."

Both Zhang Shigui and Cheng Yaojin knew about the individual engineer shovel, but it was not installed. It can be said that no one in Datang's army has this engineer shovel.

"It's a good thing. It's more well-made than the ones I've seen before. This thing is easy to fight in your hand." Cheng Yaojin tried it on his hand and put the sapper on the table.

Then there is a small bag cloth.

When I opened the bag, there were still needles and threads.

"This marching war even prepares needlework to mend clothes. It's not bad." Cheng Yaojin smiled cheerfully.

Liu Mu didn't smile: "This is for sewing flesh. It cuts a deep bloody gash with a knife. The wound is sewn up with a needle and thread before applying medicine. Send one to ten people. It is enough for ten people to deal with a big battle. Unless the enemy can wipe out all my troops, the recovery rate of individual injuries is as high as [-]%."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Shigui said a few good words and then said: "I don't agree to the imperial concubine Liu being the Duke of the Kingdom."

"My son-in-law captain hasn't returned it to me yet." Liu Mu complained.

Cheng Yaojin laughed loudly: "Don't even think about this captain-in-law captain, besides, who cares about the small title of captain-in-law captain."

Zhang Shigui also echoed.

"That's right, we brothers will try our best to help you enter the Dukedom next year, and take Gaochang at the latest."

"Gaochang is not easy to get. The most difficult thing there is not fighting, but logistics." Liu Mu thought that he was right.

Liu Mu has said the word logistics many times, and Cheng Yaojin and others have understood it.

In the words of Datang, this means that food and grass are the most important.

But Liu Mu obviously disagreed with this point of view. Logistical support is not just food and grass. What Liu Mu has been working hard to solve is the real logistical supply problem of the Datang army.

Eating is one thing, but add adequate medical conditions.

"This medical kit is only part of it. There should also be a complete field hospital. The medical kit is only for temporary treatment of the wounded and to ensure that the soldiers have an extra chance of survival. The field hospital is the one that needs the most effort. Brother Cheng, you now Do you still think 50 guan is more or less?"

Letting Liu Mu say this, Cheng Yaojin said that the military expenditure for this war seems to be much higher than before.

"Height has its advantages. It is easier for us to take the route of elite troops than relying on the number of people to ensure logistics, kill the enemy effectively, and be flexible. If we just take down the Gaochang King City, my eldest sister and wife will be in Suzhou, and General Yuchi will lead them Move over the magic strategy, and I will distribute the ordnance. 5000 people can conquer the Gaochang King City. But the cost..."

Willow shook his head helplessly.

Cheng Yaojin asked: "More than 5 military expenditures?"

"More than that!" Liu Mu believes that compared to the original army that relied on a machete, then broke the leather armor, and ate corn and rice, the cost of military expenditure was more than ten times.

At this moment Zhang Shigui suddenly said: "The emperor is wise, and the saint is wise. It is really a blessing for the Great Tang that he did not rush to expand such an army as Shen Cewei, otherwise the Great Tang will be dragged down."

"Wrong, my brother Mu is smart enough, this matter should be credited to my brother Mu." Cheng Yaojin knew the inside story.

Liu Mu didn't dare to let Cheng Yaojin continue: "Old brother Cheng, the emperor is wise, the saint is wise, I just provided some data as a suggestion."

Only then did Zhang Shigui realize that it was Liu Mu's contribution.

Zhang Shigui wouldn't open his mouth to say this, Liu Mu had already said it, this is the wisdom of the Supreme Emperor, the wisdom of a sage.

Liu Mu took out another object from the basket.

This is a small iron cylinder, very small, not much thicker than a thumb, and there are some small discs inside after opening.

"This thing was first researched by Daomen to help me fry fried dough sticks. Later, it was improved several times and used to purify water. Take water and put it in a bucket, and then put a small piece like this in the water. After a while, the water will be cleaner. This is called a water purification tablet. , one-time use. It is not always possible to find clean water when marching and fighting.”

"It's a good thing." Cheng Yaojin snatched it and looked at it carefully, but there was nothing special about this thing in appearance.

"This thing is good to try."

Zhang Shigui ordered someone to bring a bucket of not-so-clean water, which could be mixed with mud.

There is a special water point in the camp area, where the water is clean and sweet.According to Zhang Shigui's instructions, the soldiers found a puddle formed by the rain yesterday and filled a bucket of water.

Inside the house, Liu Mu threw the alum piece into the water.

After a short while, almost one-third of the upper part of the bucket of water became clear, and as time went on, almost four-fifths of the water basically became clear.

"This thing, replaced by an ordinary person, can at least confer the title of a county magistrate." Zhang Shigui stared at the bucket and said in a low voice.

Cheng Yaojin was also squatting beside the bucket, and nodded silently when he heard Zhang Shigui's words: "It seems that this war has allowed my brother to be able to fight well."

"There is also medicine for diarrhea in this basket. I am afraid of diarrhea when marching and fighting. This kind of medicine must be prepared. Then, there is also medicine powder for acclimatization. If soldiers get sick during the expedition, it will definitely affect In terms of combat power, especially during expeditions, these medicines are more important than ordnance.”

"It makes sense." Cheng Yaojin became serious.

He could tell that Liu Mu was really thoughtful. Compared with the original tens of thousands of soldiers who had undergone ordinary training and used simple weapons, it was a completely different situation.
