Man Tanghong

Chapter 979
Persuasion is not enough, so it can only be guided.

However, the leading role of the superiors in this era is still very strong.

As long as the superiors use cow dung and horse dung as fuel, even if the soldiers are not used to the smell of burning cow dung and horse dung, they will try it once or twice, and hold their noses, bite the bullet and use it.

After all, people who are several times or even ten times more noble than you don't dislike the smell of cow dung and horse manure when it burns, so what right do you have to be proud?

"In this way, you replace all the silver frost charcoal used by me and my second brother with cow dung and horse dung, and pile up a pile of cow dung and horse dung in the middle of the martial arts field, and then light them. I will bring the soldiers together Roasting."

Li Yuanji thought about it and made a decision.

Li Yuanji is willing to set an example and set an example, so Li Shiji naturally has no reason not to agree.

Li Shiji immediately bowed and said, "Here!"

Then, he quickly sent people to pile up cow dung and horse dung in the middle of the martial arts field. As for replacing the silver frost charcoal burning in the central army tent with cow dung and horse dung, there is no need to rush for a while.

"Oh, by the way, send the silver frost charcoal saved by me and my second brother to the wounded barracks. You can't use cow dung and horse manure to keep out the cold in the wounded barracks, you can only use silver frost charcoal."

Li Yuanji didn't know whether any harmful gas would be emitted when the cow dung and horse dung were burned, and whether it would cause any harm to the wounded.

Therefore, for the sake of the lives of the wounded, they cannot be used.

Let them use silver frost charcoal first, and enjoy a high-level treatment.

At present, the entire Turkic, with silver frost charcoal, can be counted on one finger.

This person is Li Yuanji himself.

Li Shimin is all dumb.

Although Li Shimin has been demoted to a commoner, he still uses as much silver frost charcoal as he wants, but that is the treatment he can only enjoy when he is in Chang'an City.

Now that he is in Turkic, it is impossible to ask the people from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to work hard to bring him the silver frost charcoal for him as a commoner, right?

Therefore, in the silver frost charcoal supplied by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, there is no ration from him, not even Li Jing, Li Shiji and others.

At present, only Li Yuanji has one.

Of course, it is limited to the Turkic battlefield, such as the Tuyuhun battlefield, and there are more noble ones.

However, the Chinese military tent is set up on the edge of Liangzhou, and there is no shortage of silver frost charcoal. high.

And with these costs, you can transport several more carts of grain, or several carts of clothes to keep out the cold.

Therefore, whether it is the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the big account of the Chinese army, it is impossible to waste a lot of resources on silver frost charcoal.

That is to say, all the silver frost charcoal used in the large tent of the Chinese army is taken from Gyeongju, and the gentry in Gyeongju offered it on their own initiative, and the gentry are willing to bear half of the transportation cost, otherwise Li Yuanji would be embarrassed to use it.

As for the gentry in Gyeongju who are courteous to others, they don't need to care about whether they have anything to ask for.

Even if they wanted something, it was impossible for them to speak up, let alone dare to speak up.

They are not family.

And since they can't open their mouths, isn't that the same as having nothing to ask for?

"Your Highness, everything is ready in the martial arts arena. Are you going to light the fire now, or wait until the soldiers are gathered?"

The people Li Shiji sent to pile up cow dung and horse manure in the middle of the martial arts field went there very quickly, and they came back very quickly. After returning, they muttered something next to Li Shiji.

Then Li Shiji played the prelude please.

"Go ahead."

Li Yuanji ordered lightly.

After all the soldiers got together, the fire was fully ignited, and the smell that could be dissipated was almost dissipated. The fire and the surrounding temperature were also pushed to a place where they could keep warm, which was just right.

Li Shiji nodded, and ordered his subordinates to do it.

Then he himself led Li Yuanji to the martial arts arena.

It is said to be a martial arts field, but it is actually a large piece of flat ground that has been weeded and snowed, and has been trampled on by horses and horses.

In the middle of the flat ground, there is a pile of cow dung that is three feet high.

There are also hundreds of small dung piles around.

The dung piles are all hollow and conical, like stacking arhats, and like building walls, they are staggered and stacked together.

It looks very regular, and it also has a sense of architectural beauty. As for the others, let’s not mention it.

After all, no one likes something that stinks.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was nothing to burn on the prairie, and the prairie people could only use this kind of thing as fuel, it is estimated that the prairie people would not regard it as property, let alone collect it and use it as fuel.

Hundreds of Li Shiji's guards, under the guidance of Li Shiji's trilogy, copied torches and carried lamp oil, splashed and lit fires on the dung piles.

Soon, hundreds of fires were lit up on the school grounds.

The largest of these, the flames rose so high that they seemed to burn in the sky.

Unsurprisingly, cow dung and horse dung do have a faint smell when burned, but surprisingly, there is also a relatively strong grassy fragrance.

The two flavors mix together and it smells weird.

It's not bad smell, but it always makes people feel uncomfortable.

It may be that there is a problem with the smoke emitted, or it may be the effect of human psychology.

Li Yuanji's medical knowledge was limited to the few medical books he had read in Wude Hall. The knowledge of chemistry was returned to the teacher before time travel.

So he didn't dare to say whether there was a problem with the cigarettes or something in his heart.

However, the main purpose of igniting cow dung and horse dung this time and inviting all the soldiers to warm up is to let the soldiers put down their insistence on resisting this fuel and choose to use this fuel to keep out the cold, so it has to be nice to say.

"It's not very smelly, the smell of grass is stronger. Why do the soldiers resist it?"

Li Yuanji said with emotion.

Li Shiji said dumbfoundingly: "I have known for a long time that this thing does not have a strong smell when burned, and even has a grassy smell, and I sent people to demonstrate it in the soldiers' tents.

But the soldiers not only did not accept this thing, but also said that the grass smell is a poisonous smell. "

Li Yuanji said a little speechlessly: "They can use the steamed buns of human blood to treat diseases, but they are afraid of the scent of grass?"

Sometimes people are really contradictory. They are not afraid of what they should be afraid of, but they are terrified of what they should not be afraid of.

This may be due to ignorance.

This also proves that ignorant people will really be tossed to death by their ignorance.

Without waiting for Li Shiji to speak, Li Yuanji directly ordered: "Quickly call me all the soldiers in the camp, today I will accompany them to warm themselves with cow dung and horse dung.

If they are afraid of being poisoned to death, let them watch me! "

Li Shiji knew that the grassy scent of cow dung and horse dung is not poisonous to people. As for whether it is poisonous or not, he did not dare to say, but judging from the fact that grassland people have been using it for hundreds of thousands of years and have not been poisoned to death by this stuff. Even if something is poisonous, the amount of poison is very light. Not only will it not be fatal, it may not cause too much harm to the human body.

So he didn't stop him, and he didn't take the initiative to invite Ying, but he readily agreed, "Here!"

Afterwards, he sent his troops and his guards to summon all the soldiers in the camp.

There are not many soldiers left in the camp, only more than 8000.

Among them, more than 3000 are Yong Wangwei, more than 3000 are guards guarding the floating wealth in the camp, hundreds are Li Shiji's trilogy and bodyguards, and the rest are almost all wounded soldiers.

Therefore, this "bonfire dung meeting" is mainly aimed at more than 3000 Yong Wangwei and more than 3000 guards.

It is impossible for the wounded to come out.

Because almost all those who can be sent to the Chinese military camp to recuperate are seriously wounded who need long-term treatment and rest. Most of them can't run or jump, so they can only lie down in the camp and brag to their colleagues.

Therefore, all those who were summoned were Yong Wangwei and guards.

After the three thousand king guards and the guards arrived, Zhao Chengyong and the general commanding the guards stood up and began to straighten out the formation.

His Royal Highness King Yong should have the proper demeanor in person.

It can't be chaotic, and it can't be clustered together like wandering soldiers.

The guards are okay, the soldiers of King Yongwei are not even showing any signs of being in front of the people they need to protect, so they are not far away from being replaced.

Fortunately, whether it is Yong Wangwei or the guards, they are all veterans who have undergone long-term training and battle experience, and they still have organizational discipline.

Zhao Chengyong and the general who commanded the guards just made a little adjustment, and the soldiers formed two neat square formations.

Li Yuanji did not criticize the formalism of Zhao Chengyong and the general who commanded the guards, but asked Li Shiji to find a cart, stand on the shaft of the cart, look at all the soldiers and say: "I I heard that some people are very opposed to using cow dung and horse dung to keep out the cold, and they also say that when the cow dung and horse dung are burned, the smell is poisonous.

Now I will demonstrate it to you personally, and let you see whether the smell of cow dung and horse dung is poisonous after burning. "

With that said, Li Yuanji got out of the cart, walked to the biggest fire, and sat down quietly.

Seeing this, all the soldiers looked at me and I looked at you, their eyeballs rolled around, as if they had something to say, but none of them opened their mouths.

It's not that they don't want to, it's that they don't dare.

The boss, the boss's boss, and the boss's boss, as well as the people they need to protect and support, are sitting there.

If they didn't have eyes, they would cause a commotion.

Then their boss's boss, their boss, and their boss can't tolerate them.

There is a saying that if you don't work hard, you won't be lazy, and if you just hit those, you won't have eyes.

They are undoubtedly long-sighted, so they dare not make mistakes in this situation.

"Zhao Chengyong, bring me some jugs of wine, I want to cook and drink."

After sitting for a while, Li Yuanji suddenly gave orders to Zhao Chengyong.

This was the limit he could accept, and he couldn't accept anything if he was asked to roast something with cow dung and horse dung.

Hearing this, Zhao Chengyong first shouted to all the Yong Wangwei under his opponent: "What are you doing still in a daze, with the team as a team, go to the side of the fire and stay for me.

Whoever dares to fart me again, saying that the smell of burning cow dung and horse dung is poisonous, I will peel the skin of someone. "

When Yong Wangwei heard this, one by one, like a mouse meeting a cat, they quickly formed dozens of groups and moved towards the nearest fire.

Their resistance to using cow dung and horse dung for heating disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Chengyong gave the order, not to mention that cow dung and horse dung are not poisonous when burned, even if they are really poisonous and can poison people to death, they have to eat them.

This is called military orders like mountains.

Li Shiji could actually give the same order. The reason why he didn't give it was not because he didn't know how to give it, but because he was not qualified to give orders to Yong Wangwei.

As for the guards, it is not that he is directly under the army. The general who leads the army is also selected by the three provinces. He is directly responsible to the three provinces and Li Yuanji, and he cannot force him to ask.
