Chapter 354: Hu Sanqi's Story 13
Hu Sanqi seized the time to feed the horses and fill the kettle, this team is extremely strict, it is forbidden to rest when there is no rest, and even the time to drink water is controlled by the military, he is the time to grow his body, and all kinds of high-calorie food every day just make him grow taller.
After the rest, when we set off again, the crowd gradually increased, not only the herdsmen, but also the Han merchants, their ranks were generally quite numerous, and there were all kinds of horse-drawn trucks, hugging each other in front and back, and the momentum was greater than that of the entire squadron, and after discovering the squadron's ranks, they all gave way respectfully, and some of them were brave enough to greet them.
Then these caravans were trying to increase their speed, and after following the patrol, there was no so-called highway on the grassland, and they were all old oilmen who took the old road to know which road was easy to walk and which road was not easy to walk, and it was naturally excellent for someone to guide the way.
When it was almost evening, but there was no one there, the squadron leader chose a place near the water and the terrain suitable for defense, and ordered to set up camp, and refused the request of the merchants who wanted to live with him to find a place to live in the temporary camp.
They divided labor quickly, Hu Sanqi's squad was sent to find firewood, and those caravans also followed behind, in order to seek peace, naturally they were also behind.
The climate of Mongolia is very suitable for the growth of various shrubs, dry and oily, very suitable for burning, Hu Sanqi got an axe, it is not easy to hold it in his hand, pull an empty carriage, go to chop wood.
This work used to be done often when I was at home, and now it is even more proficient, and there is a clear division of labor in the team, and a lot of it will be cut in a short time, but the whole squadron will use it, and it will be necessary to light a fire overnight at several points, which is convenient for lighting and sentry.
This axe is absolutely sharp, and in the soldier's code, the sapper shovel and axe are both recommended as excellent weapons for hand-to-hand combat, but it is very troublesome to face the toughness and very soft branches and leaves, and this is the feeling of not being able to use the strength.
Suddenly, a hand came over and helped pull the small bush, Hu Sanqi was startled, but it was a woman, with a little milky fragrance on her body, looking at the dress, but it was a Mongolian girl, she chattered a few words, I didn't understand, but I understood the meaning.
Someone helped, but Hu Sanqi was not polite, so after pulling it up, the efficiency of chopping wood became higher, and after a while, Lao Gao was piled up.
It was almost done, but the girl picked up the pile of firewood that had been given to her and headed for her caravan.
As the Chinese army gradually established its prestige on the steppe, with the "peace under the rule of the elders", under the new order, the industrialization of Mongolia almost did not stop for a day, and many Mongolians also took advantage of this east wind to begin to be integrated into the economic system, and the future booming racecourse in the imperial capital had a good economic support for the selection and breeding of horse breeds on the grassland.
In the crowd of horse racing gangs, it is very normal for there to be more Mongolians, people are not stupid, and it is not so difficult to do business, of course, the most prosperous business in Mongolia at present is to attract people to go overseas to graze and live.
The elders spend blood, and they sell blood to hook people out, lest the number of people be over, and even the better part of the Mongols who are sinicized will not be spared.
Hu Sanqi looked at the girl, as if he was a little yearning, at this time he had been out of exile for a year, and he had been weathered, and his original heart suddenly fluctuated.
The girl couldn't tell her age, she was about the same age as him, she combed her hair differently from the Han girl, her tanned complexion was a little red, and her hands were a little rough after long-term exercise, and she couldn't even talk about beauty, but she was very attractive.
"What's the matter, I'm hooked."
The carriage was driven back again, and when he saw Hu Sanqi stunned, a veteran joked and ridiculed.
"When you get to the place, such a little Tartar woman, you can go on for a small amount of money, give him a dollar, or give some gadgets, and she will happily pull you into the tent and let you have a hair."
"Yes, as long as you are not afraid of being picketed and taken away afterwards, you will be isolated and disinfected in a confinement room."
In principle, the elders should be more open to the private life of the soldiers, compared to the time when they will have to wait for the future to fight, the future military system layout of the Presbyterian Church is basically based on the Asian Command, the American Command, the European Command, the African Command and the Indian Command, so under such frequent transfers, it is also very inhumane to force ordinary soldiers to behave in a normal manner.
The elders were nitpicking in another place, intimidating the soldiers from going too far beyond the thunder pool by intimidating them with a proximity to cleanliness.
Hygiene.
In their explanation and education, the biggest reason for a person's death is because of various bacteria, which is also rigorous in science, and if you drink unclean water, you will die, if you don't eat cleanly, you will die, if you don't touch a clean woman, you will get sick, and if you get dirty, you will be driven out of the team.
Although there is a lack of systematic understanding of science, the soldiers under the Presbyterian Church are the group with the most knowledge about hygiene concepts and bacteria and viruses, which can be called the world's most popular.
Strictly speaking, Mongolia at this time still belonged to the tribal era, and the small production system after the separation had not yet appeared, so some chaos was still normal.
Hu Sanqi was a little embarrassed, and was ridiculed by several veterans, saying that when he could go out during the holidays, he would take him to a "fun place" to see the North Korean mother-in-law, as well as the newly appeared Vietnamese mother-in-law, which are all good places.
Hu Sanqi is shy, he is full of energy every day, although he is consumed by continuous military training and study, but the young man's body is definitely the most impulsive, but he has a great hatred in his heart, but it is difficult to let go of his arms.
Back at the camp, a squadron-sized temporary non-war camping camp had already been built, and if it was a time of war, it would certainly not be possible to dig only one trench, and the barbed wire would have to be filled.
Everyone is strong, the firewood is piled up, and then it is time to eat, at this point, everyone is one officer and soldier, and the squadron leader is better than the others is just a little hotter to sit by the fire, after eating, busy washing, but the last work of the day has begun, that is, to report the latest information.
In recent months, the conflict between Naihiko and Tokh has begun to erupt again in the wind and rain, and it is more important than the revenge of the father to fight for territory, and it can be said that Mongolia is a place where the population that can be naturally fed is too small, and those who hold the power here will naturally have the desire to march outward.
On both sides are members of the golden family of immortality, and of course, there are as many golden families on the grassland as there are artists in Beijing who pursue their artistic dreams.
The tactics of the two sides are similar, if you calculate each other, there is no shortage of relatives, naturally they fight more fiercely, it just so happens that they caught up with the "best" era, and the rich grain from China inevitably flowed into the grasslands, providing more convenient conditions for both sides to obtain provisions.
No matter how you look at it, Lin Dan Khan's corpse has long been cold, and the traitorous Horqin tribe who originally introduced the Jurchens into the grassland for profit has also begun to do business honestly.
With the city of Sanniangzi and the city of Dagler Zhurgen as the dividing line, the south can maintain a minimum peace because of the Presbyterian army as a support, while the north is almost a small battle, and the big battle is also imminent.
In this case, a large number of steppe refugees naturally went south, and the Presbyterian Council was simply happy to see this happen, whether it was Australia or New Zealand, it was much stronger than Mongolia, and it would be good enough to have a place without the cold currents of the Mongolian plateau and the cold currents of Siberia, and they would not be afraid to mix them in the immigrants full of Han Chinese exiles.
For example, in the case of European immigrants with high mortality rates to the Americas in later generations, Chinese immigrants who supported each other and had a system for the prevention and control of infectious diseases had a natural advantage.
Moreover, as the southern hemisphere region, Australia and New Zealand are so warm as spring when it is still winter in China.
This is nothing, the biggest ecological problem in Australia in the future, desertification was actually doomed thousands of years ago, insufficient rainfall, but rabbits can actually become disasters is too funny, this is not a problem for Chinese!
In the future of the western cowboy story, it is likely that there will be a group of Mongolian men who speak Mandarin, swaggering through the market with revolvers.
The squadron leader told for a long time, and found out the situation before and after, and the current focus of his work is not Totokihiko, who is still preparing for a big battle, but all kinds of horse thieves.
Just like the fishermen along the coast of China occasionally make a cameo appearance as a pirate, on the grassland, horse thieves usually graze their cattle and run away when they find an opportunity, which is almost impossible to investigate, and can only rely on the railway detachment to carry out activities to brush up their presence.
The elders have always been very attentive to the improvement of the subjective initiative of the soldiers, and the subordinates are smarter, and they can bother less.
Hu Sanqi was assigned to be on duty at night, but he was assigned a large potato, and a fire was lit around the camp as a sign and a fire to intimidate the wolves from approaching, which was not new, and he learned to be on duty every night when he was in the company.
Potatoes are roasted in the fire, although the skin is burnt, but the taste inside is very strong, it is the best food to stay up all night to replenish, Hu Sanqi is holding his rifle alone, sitting in front of the fire, the area he wants to guard is facing a large haystack, basically no one will come to rob a group of heavily armed soldiers, they are afraid that the wolves will touch in.
In fact, wolves are becoming more and more scarce due to the constant appearance of humans, just as in the future, all kinds of wild animals will either be captured in zoos or stay in protected areas, and they will not appear.
He thought back to what had happened in the past years, and suddenly it was like a dream, but he didn't know how to live, the life of this new army was great, but it had nothing to do with him, the people who hid secrets in their hearts were difficult to please in a generally young and low-level group, and he could not integrate into this collective.
Of course, in the eyes of others, the young descendants, no relatives, defected to the army, it is obvious that the family is gone, as for the cause of death, this era is more of a rout of the army plus my Qing Dynasty's triple three-dimensional blow looting, family destruction is the main theme, not a rare and strange thing.
Although the elders also hope to form a good family, with children, at least some soldiers from modest families, but with the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, this is obviously impossible.
Under such taciturnity, Hu Sanqi almost lacks friends, and the three packs of cigarettes he is given every month are also slowly smoked by himself.
The surroundings are very quiet, maybe there are some distant places where the cries of all kinds of beasts can be heard, but as long as you listen carefully, you know that it must be far away, and at night, basically not many people will waste energy to mess around, and the stars in the sky are very beautiful.
Suddenly there was a voice, Hu Sanqi raised his head suddenly, but he was not a stranger, it seemed that it was the Mongolian woman who had chopped wood with him before, and she came over at this time.
Hu Sanqi almost picked up the gun, but he still sat down again, because the woman was holding a lot of food in her hand, but she ran over in a hurry.
Those caravans naturally chose to follow behind the team's butt for peace, and the rule of the entire detachment was that they could follow behind, but not too close.
However, what did the Mongolian woman say, the two did not understand the language, and could only use their hands to gestify, she didn't know where to pick the fruit, handed it to Hu Sanqi to eat, Hu Sanqi naturally did not dare to eat, the education on the team, for all suspicious food is extremely suspicious, anyone who eats unclean food outside, is thoroughly monitored, although in Hu Sanqi's view, this is hypocrisy, and it is also the word called cleanliness, but the microscope taken out by the elders does prove that many things are not clean inside.
He pushed it, and the woman thought she had done something wrong, so she quickly wiped a fruit with her sleeve and handed it over.
Hu Sanqi was helpless, but he used a branch to take out the potatoes that were roasted in the fire and showed them to the woman.
Potatoes as a great contributor to the creation of a potato era and corn prosperity for my Qing Dynasty The so-called "Kangqian Prosperous Age", its yield is extremely terrible, in fact, the yield may not be high, but from the input-output ratio above, it is a hanging crop including but not limited to rice and wheat, after all, this thing does not need to be more fertilized, and even the field can grow, and the requirements for water and fertilizer are also very low.
This thing is not fresh in many places, so it is naturally recognized, Hu Sanqi originally wanted to show that he was not short of food, but the Mongolian woman thought that the potatoes were for her, but she grabbed them directly with her hands, and the hot exhalation hurt.
