Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 482 Snow Equipment
After all, Cheng Chumo had been on the battlefield for several years, so he decided to give Sun Xiangfu a guy who lived a comfortable life in the greenhouse all day long, how difficult the conditions for soldiers to survive in the ice and snow, However, Sun Xiangfu did not give him this chance. Since he is not in a hurry to eat, let him freeze it again first!

"Little sister, bring a ladle, Zhao Gang, Zhao Qiang, each of you bring a load of cold water to the yard." After giving the order, Sun Xiangfu pointed to Cheng Chumo outside the house, "Come out and have a look! Teach me Tell your majesty and Li Xiang about your method, and the new city should not be difficult to break through."

The winter in the Northeast is the same as in Shanyang. The old elders have grown up. If Li Shimin stops attacking the city, he may not start the war again until March or April next year. If this is the case, the army may fight in Goguryeo for a whole year next year. There are so many political and economic development things to do, and it is a waste of time to spend on the battlefield.

After a while, Zhao Gang and Zhao Qiang, who replaced Zhang Ke who stayed in Chang'an to get married, picked up a bucket of water from the house. Because the house was burning coal for heating, when the water in the tank was picked out , still steaming, Cheng Chumo looked at Sun Xiangfu who was proudly holding a water ladle, and was a little puzzled.

I saw that Sun Xiangfu scooped a ladle of water with a wooden ladle, high, bit by bit to keep the water flowing in a thin line, poured it out of the ladle, and then poured it into the snow.

"What the hell, it's so cold, you take me out to play in the water?" After finishing speaking, Cheng Chumo was about to turn around and go into the house to warm up.

"Keep watching."

After the heavy snowfall in Shanyang, the temperature is at least ten degrees below zero, and the water that does not freeze can be kept inside the house, but it will cool down quickly when you go outside. The cold water poured into the snow like Sun Xiangfu can be removed with your feet. When I kicked it, it quickly turned into lumps of ice, and the longer the two buckets of cold water were outside the house, the temperature of the water in the buckets became closer to freezing point.

Then, a miraculous scene appeared. As soon as the water was poured into the snow, it turned into ice, and Sun Xiangfu watered it faster and faster. In the end, Zhao Gang and Zhao Qiang were poured together.

"Look, four buckets of water, a one-meter-high big ice pier, and 10 people from the whole army go up together. In one night, there is an ice wall higher than the city wall of Xincheng..."

Cheng Chumo is not stupid. When Sun Xiangfu talked about this, his mind had already automatically supplemented the picture. If the Tang army poured rows of ice stairs like this and directly climbed the city wall of the new city, with the weapons and equipment of the Tang army, Goguryeo Soldiers can't fight them at all.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing, why didn't I think of it!"

"Understood, get on the road as soon as you finish eating. I've already had people prepare strong alcohol and anti-cold medicine for you, just load them into the car."

Sun Xiangfu put away the water ladle, shivered, and hastily pushed aside the sheepskin curtain in the living room to seal off the heat, and sat in his seat, so as not to be taken over by Cheng Chumo again.

"Uh, um, is there anything miraculous about it? You tell me all of it at once, so that I don't have to run around all the time. It's a journey of thousands of miles. It's not easy... ··”

Not to mention, when he asked such a question, Sun Xiangfu really thought of something. In later TV dramas, he has seen many scenes of fighting in the snow. Cheng Chumo said that it is not easy to come and go, so let him change. Get up easy!

"After dinner, let's go to the workshop."

When he heard that it was true, Cheng Chumo was excited, and his appetite also increased. A large fish and several large plates of side dishes, more than half of them fell into his stomach.

How could Sun Xiangfu, who grew up in later generations, not remember the style of sleds and snowboards!With these things, the speed of walking in the snow is no less than that of walking on muddy roads under normal weather conditions, especially when going downhill in mountains.

If the heavy snow could not affect the march of the Tang army, or even speed up the march of the Tang army, then in comparison, the disadvantage of the slow-moving Goguryeo army would be even greater.

It is good to have many skilled craftsmen. Sun Xiangfu only needs to give the style, and the craftsmen can quickly build it according to his style. Moreover, what is created is not just sleds and snowboards.A lot of roller skates have also been produced. Toys such as roller skates and scooters are almost a must for children in later generations. Sun Xiangfu can rollerblade, so it is not difficult for him to master the balance.

For this kind of skates that only need to be made of metal into the shape of a knife to hold the sole, he doesn't need to explore and improve, he can use his feet to control it, so the picture of Sun Xiangfu skating and flying on the artificial lake in Tianshanju, Envious of others, and behind him, the sound of plopping wrestling came from time to time, which made Sun Xiangfu a little afraid that the half-meter-thick ice layer would be smashed to pieces by Cheng Chumo.

"It doesn't make sense. You can slip as soon as you put it on. I keep falling after I put it on. It must be a problem with the shoes. Let's change a pair."

Sun Xiangfu made a beautiful spin on the ice, circling around Cheng Chumo, and said with a smile, "Everyone's ability to master balance is different, you are weaker."

"impossible······"

When Cheng Chumo continued to question, the reality told him that his balance was indeed a bit weak, because Sun Deshou, Sun Xiaomei, Zhao He, Wang Erxiao, etc., and so on, can all ride skates on the ice. Gliding slowly.

"I don't believe it..."

"Plop..."

"Ha ha ha ha······"

After falling for a whole day amidst everyone's laughter, Cheng Chumo was finally able to control the skates slowly, and then the snowboard was much easier to learn.

"Soldiers in the supply team all suffered from frostbite to varying degrees. These days, they just need to be treated and recuperated in the medical school. After the workshop makes a batch of sleds and snowboards, you can set off again. The strategy of pouring water into ice, in the twelfth lunar month It is most likely to succeed when it is carried out when it is the coldest.”

Li Shimin can't let Yuangai Suwen fight and escape all the way. If it takes a few months for a fortified city to take down the entire Goguryeo, it may take a few years. In this way, the economic pressure of Datang will be great. The 2000 million land purchase funds sent by Wang Xu failed to repay all the military purchase loans, because in the follow-up, Shanyang and Weinan both sent millions of dollars worth of weapons and equipment, medical supplies, etc. to the front line. If the fight continues like this, it will have to be sent to the front line all the time, which is tantamount to wasting money that should have better promoted the development of the domestic economy.

"Hey, with these skis, as long as the new city is broken, it will be difficult for Yuangai Suwen to fly with wings."

Sun Xiangfu nodded. With the wisdom of Li Shimin and Li Jing, of course they would formulate a relatively complete plan based on their own favorable conditions. He didn't need to worry about this, but he had to think more about it after the fight.

Although the Goguryeo people, like the Han people, like to live in the city, they are still semi-nomadic people in essence. Although the folks have a certain degree of Sinicization, they are at most comparable to the Han people of half-Hu blood in Shanyang before. According to Li Shimin’s The meaning is to move all these people to the pass and disperse the resettlement. However, this will definitely lead to sparse population in the Northeast, which is somewhat unfavorable for developing it into an inseparable territory of the Tang Dynasty.

This place was managed by prefectures and counties during the Han Dynasty, but later, it rebelled, and after Tang destroyed it, it rebelled later, and then, needless to say, the Liao Kingdom established by the Khitan tribe was based on this Based on this piece of land, until later generations, the area on the eastern peninsula was not under the rule of the Celestial Dynasty. Naturally, Sun Xiangfu would not allow this situation to continue.

Then, moving more Han people to this area, strengthening Han culture, and Chinese language teaching is the work that the entire Northeast region needs to do next.

After a day of ice skating, Sun Xiangfu sent a letter to Yu Xiuer, asking her to submit a form to expand the cultural troupe, recruiting and training a group of cultural troupe members for the eastern, western, and southern regions that will soon be brought under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

In the future, these art troupe members will not only perform for the garrisoned soldiers, but also perform for the local farmers and people from all walks of life, subtly increasing their sense of belonging to the Tang Dynasty and increasing their sense of identity with Han culture.

When its letter arrived in Chang'an, another letter from Chang'an also arrived in Shanyang, which was a message from Yunnan. With the help of Xiao Yu, Shelong successfully returned to Mengshezhao, and then announced A series of crimes committed by Wang Hao and gained the control of the Mengshe Zhao. At this time, the tribes in Yunnan who had been beaten by Chai Shaojun chose to surrender to Shelong and promoted him as the co-lord of the tribes in Yunnan. With the help, Shelong forcefully incorporated the population of various tribes, making the land of Yunnan under his control.

However, it is a pity that when Shelong returned to Mengshezhao to correct Wang Hao's crimes, a group of Wang Hao's buddies protected him and killed him in the depths of the jungle. Finally, under the pursuit of Shelong, The only remaining people, Wang Hao and Zhang Cheng, chose to jump into the river. Shelong himself had the experience of falling into the river and did not die. Naturally, he searched all the way downstream. Unfortunately, after searching for hundreds of miles, they did not find their bodies. Said, it is also possible that they are still alive.

For this reason, Xiao Yu was in Jiannan Road, and even went to Chang'an to ask Fang Xuanling to order Wang Hao to be wanted nationwide. At present, there is no news of their whereabouts.

At the end of November, Cheng Chumo escorted nearly [-] vehicles of medical supplies and equipment again, and embarked on the journey to Liaodong. This time, all the box-body vehicles used to transport the supplies were refitted, and the iron wheel bearings and wheels were removed. After getting down and putting it in Shanyang, the iron-clad and wooden carriages were all replaced with a sleigh base, filled with medicinal materials and other supplies, and pulled by two horses, they can run in the snow. The speed is more than twice as easy and fast as when I came back.

After he arrived in Liaodong City, he would equip the sergeants with snow equipment and conduct some training. I believe that before the Spring Festival, the attack on the new city should come to an end.

When Cheng Chumo embarked on a journey full of wind and snow, thousands of miles away, the envoys of the Tang Dynasty also left Hengluosi City and went to their next stop.

Compared with Cheng Chumo's arduous march, they are extremely happy. More than two months ago, Datang captured Suiye City and declared sovereignty over thousands of miles of surrounding land and more than a dozen countries. The itinerary of this mission , has become the focus of attention of all Western Region countries. First of all, the invitation letter for the World's No. [-] Sports Conference in Tang Jian's hand is what they value very much.

Therefore, when they go to any country, there will be a country leader who organizes the people to welcome them, and offer them all delicious food and drinks.

Secondly, Datang performed cultural performances in the Western Regions, which became completely popular. At one time, the kings of some small countries, regardless of the safety of the country, followed their footsteps and went to neighboring countries to watch them, just to see this kind of shock once more When a show like Avalokitesvara of Thousand Hands came out, many audiences in small countries fell to their knees. They were more superstitious than the people of Tang Dynasty, and they were in awe of those unexplainable visual phenomena.

It’s no wonder that this situation will happen. There are too many countries here, and the religious beliefs are too complicated. In history, Xuanzang only visited the Western Regions and passed through 130 and eight countries. Now, the envoy team If they deliberately collect and sort out the information of these countries, then they may only pass through two or three hundred countries on their entire mission route.

These countries are not big. Some have a circumference of only a few hundred miles and a diameter of only a few tens of miles. The larger ones have a circumference of a thousand miles and a diameter of hundreds of miles. The borders of two or three countries are said to be countries, but in fact they are on the same level as the states and counties in the Central Plains.

And because merchants have frequently sold Datang products in these countries in recent years, they are no strangers to Datang. Only after seeing the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty envoys did they know what the word "Heavenly Dynasty Shangguo" represented.

It is a state of etiquette, it is a place of rich and natural treasures, the army there is invincible in the world, and the medical skills there are unparalleled in the world...

Even because of their limited vocabulary, they couldn't fully describe the Great Tang they knew.
