They used lamp oil to keep their men warm. I really don’t know what to say. They have never heard of it. The history before the Tang Dynasty is not short. Many generals in the military camp have read books and saw them. When the lamp oil was turned on, they all wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Li Xiang three times.

How much impact did the rain have on the morale of the soldiers? No one knows better than them. If this continues, I am afraid there will be deserters in our army.

Facing the enemy troops in the mountains and forests, we don’t have much ability. On the contrary, we often get sick ourselves, all because of the humid weather. If this continues, including some low-level officers, they will also have many diseases. Antipathy.

The reason why it has not appeared yet is because of the achievements made by the Tang Dynasty army in the past. The usual training gave them a strong will, which allowed them to persist for such a long time. If it were replaced by the army of another country, although it cannot be said now It's a mess of sand, but it's not far away.

That night, there were fires in the houses of each small unit. This was an extremely luxurious thing. They could still do it when it first rained, but they could no longer do it now. But just when they thought When they couldn't do it, His Highness Taisun sent them firelight.

The soldiers happily brought their beds to the fire, and then slowly baked them. They were finally able to sleep on a dry bed tonight, without having to squeeze out water at night.

Of course, Li Xiang also issued strict orders. Every small unit must keep its doors or windows open, because the burning of lamp oil will produce a large amount of harmful gases. If the doors are closed, many people may feel uncomfortable at night. .

Everyone has been allocated enough lamp oil. Whether you are performing tasks on the front line or in the military camp at the rear, as long as you have a brazier, you will be able to have a fire immediately. Although it is in an extremely humid environment, when When everyone saw the flames, they felt warm in their hearts.

Flames cannot solve all problems, but flames give them hope. At least they are not helpless when facing this humid weather. We can use fire to do many things. There are flames in every tent. When burning, the air inside them becomes much drier. It turns out that many people have said that in fact, you don't need to drink water for a day. Just breathing to filter the moisture in the air is enough.

Of course, the most important thing is that the mentality of the soldiers has changed. When they woke up the next morning, many soldiers had smiles on their faces. Although it continued to rain heavily outside, they no longer cared much about it. It's wet, but the flames in the tent will never stop. You can take off your clothes to bake them, and then put on dry clothes.

Of course, many soldiers also understand that such an environment can only be achieved by spending money. It turns out that ordinary people go to bed when it gets dark at night, and they simply cannot afford to light lamps because the price of lamp oil is too expensive, whether it is using candles or Lamp oil is not something a family can afford.

Although life is a little better now, everyone still goes to bed very early at night. This thing is actually used in the military camp for heating and other things. You can imagine how much our Highness spent, so These people all remember it in their hearts, and they still have the original idea in their hearts that as long as our Highness is here, even if God doesn't like me, I can still accomplish things. A day and a half after Li Xiang arrived, the training in the military camp started again. In the past, they couldn't do it because their clothes got wet, so they couldn't train. Now Li Xiang has given everyone two clean clothes. Of course, all military uniforms are redeemed from the system, so each soldier has four sets of clothes, which can be replaced enough.

What's more, letting them train outside in such heavy rainy weather is also training their fighting will. In the upcoming rainy season, the whole of Vietnam may be in this kind of weather. If they can't adapt, then what should we do? How to fight?

The surrounding Vietnamese spies were actually laughing at the joke. They themselves had a hard time with such continuous rain. Although they had lived here for generations, they also hated such weather, but they did not expect that the Tang army would They were so generous and used lamp oil to light the flames for them. This was something that no Vietnamese had ever thought of. If the Tang Dynasty played this way, we would really have no way to deal with it.

You can see a large amount of lamp oil shipped from the north every day. The Vietnamese spies also hope to find someone to destroy it for them. But the problem is that it is raining heavily now. Let alone fight, it is impossible for a single investigation to do so. The Tang army transported these things. They didn't know how they got it over such a long distance from the border. Also, collecting so much lamp oil, won’t it bring difficulties to the local area?

In fact, these things are less than five kilometers north of the military camp. Long San brought more than a thousand soldiers to transport them here. Their task is to run to this place every day, and then Li Xiang can redeem them and then bring them back to the military camp. Later, more vehicles passed by, and one pull could last five or six days.

As for the things that the Vietnamese can't understand, is it possible that Li Xiang would go over and explain them to them? Including many Datang soldiers, they didn't understand either.

Seeing that things were on the right track in the military camp, Li Xiang called these people over and asked us to do some serious things.

Recruiting an army of servants?
When Li Xiang put forward his opinion, the two generals present looked confused. If we occupy all this place, for example, Goguryeo and Fusang, we can set up a servant army. They They will also listen to us.

But now we are still at war with the enemy, how could they listen to us? Most of the land in Vietnam is indeed in our hands, and the people also expressed their surrender, but most of them were fake surrenders. They are still waiting for the southern court to regain their lost land. If you draw them into the army, That’s not enough to watch them every day! It may take more effort on our part.
