When the months of farming were over, Chen Xin still couldn't be idle, because various localities began to prepare supplies for the winter again. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

First of all, there are thousands of war horses under Chen Xin's command that need to be fed, and it is a big trouble to have no forage in winter, a war horse can eat at least 7 people's rations every day, it is too wasteful to rely on beans and food alone, and it is easy to feed the appetite of the war horse.

There are still tens of thousands of various animals to take care of in the jurisdiction, and they must also have enough winter feed, otherwise the next spring ploughing, the livestock will be left behind, and there will be a big problem.

Fortunately, Chen Xin had already arranged for people to find various technicians, and finally got the green storage technology out in a few months, and when harvesting grain, the straw that was originally used for cooking was no longer wasted and used to light the fire. All the straw was turned into green fodder.

However, some people in the army and the civil affairs department still have no bottom in their hearts, fearing that this bit of green fodder will not be enough for the whole winter, so they have begun to mow the grass in private, and they are also preparing to get some green fodder reserves.

When Chen Xin heard the news, he went to check it, and after visiting the storage of several houses, he found that the grass varieties that everyone harvested in private were uneven, and the experienced ones were better, and the war horses and livestock were specially selected to eat, and the inexperienced ones were more troublesome, which actually mixed in some slightly toxic weeds, which shocked Chen Xin and immediately stopped all the private hoarding of feed.

After setting up a special feed department, the notice was directly issued to all units, and all units should strictly follow the guidance of this department to select the varieties of grass and harvest the grass in a unified manner.

After the beginning of spring, the feed department will go to various places to guide everyone to plant good forage varieties on a large scale on wasteland and eliminate those weeds.

In the end, everyone carried out a large-scale national harvest, all of which were used for green storage.

With soybean feed and other things, these green storage fodder can be used for more than half a year, and the next spring can be used for the next green storage.

With the help of the tiger ben and the elementary mathematics that has slowly become popular, the soldiers who were afraid of starving their horses finally relaxed and started their daily work with peace of mind.

Chen Xin smiled and sighed, "It's really simple and cute." ”

The big cat explained, "They are all afraid of problems with the war horses, in the past, when there was a shortage of war horses, they could find a way to supplement some of them from the grassland, but now we are separated from the grassland by the entire Liaodong, and the soldiers dare not have the slightest slack, for fear that there will be a little problem with the war horse." ”

"This is a problem, whether it is training or fighting, there will always be a certain amount of loss of war horses, and before our breeding farm reaches a certain scale, we must find a way to find a way to replenish the war horses."

The big cat's face was serious: "Do you need me to go to the grassland?" ”

"No, go to the grassland to either go to Houjin or Daming, it's too dangerous, and it's impossible for them to let a large number of war horses cross the border, I'll think of other ways, this matter is not so urgent, there is still a long time to prepare."

"Hmm."

Then there is the problem of heating in winter, and the Chaonan administrative region is located in a warm zone, so there is no need to worry too much, but the northern Korean administrative region and the northeastern region are at the same latitude, and the winter is really cold and scary.

As a traverser, it is not okay not to invent something, in order to keep the people below warm in winter, and also to solve the problem of the shortage of firewood for cooking after the straw is stored, Chen Xin "invented" honeycomb coal and a small stove.

Now the coal washing technology has a little bit of a clue, has been able to separate the part that cannot be burned, and recently found a way to successfully separate the cinder, these cinder iron-making calorific value is not enough, so all used for heating.

The cinders left over from the washing of coal from Maoshan only require a little labor cost, and honeycomb coal is this kind of cinder and loess bonded together, which is much cheaper than burning cinder directly.

So this kind of money-saving and convenient small stove, coupled with the kang that every household has, there is no need to worry about freezing to death in winter.

With food, it is also necessary to have nutritious non-staple foods, otherwise just eating food, the human body's nutrition can not keep up, and people will be prone to illness or short life, so Chen Xin has not stopped caring about non-staple foods since he decided to develop by the Yalu River.

First of all, all kinds of vegetables, each farm and barracks has its own vegetable plot, and all have established their own cellars, the last crop of vegetables before winter, which can be stored for a long time, are all stored, and some that are easy to perish, are also pickled and stored by the Ministry of Civil Affairs with a large amount of sea salt.

In terms of meat, each farm has only been established for less than a year, and the number of animals that can be slaughtered inside is too small, so everyone usually eats fresh marine fish caught during fleet training.

However, when the weather is completely cold, it is impossible to eat fresh fish, because the harbor will be frozen, and there will be a lot of ice floe in the offshore, and the current wooden boats are too dangerous to go to sea, and they may be hit and sunk by the ice floe at any time.

In order to be able to eat enough meat after freezing offshore in winter, Chen Xin "invented" canned food.

Now there is no technology to make tinplate, the shell of the can is made of glazed ceramics, the sea fish is fished up and preliminarily processed and cleaned and then put into the porcelain jar, processed at high temperature, the fish is also cooked at the same time as the disinfection, and then sealed with a sterilized lid, and the gap is carefully sealed with the yellow mud of the wine jar.

Although it is not as perennial as the canned food of later generations, there is no problem in keeping it for a year and a half.

With this technology, from the beginning of winter until the ice off the coast, all the ships went out to sea every day to fish, and the female soldiers of the armed police force all gathered at the harbor, except for those who were stationed in various places in shifts.

Just in the cold sea water of the Xiaoice period in winter, barefoot in the sea, one by one processing those fresh sea fish confined to the sea by fishing nets, the ceramic jars produced by the canning workshop are not enough, and they spontaneously began to use traditional methods to process excess sea fish, absolutely not let any fish be wasted.

Chen Xin shuddered when he saw it, tightened the big slug on his body, and said, "These female soldiers are really powerful." ”

The big cat looked at the female soldiers on the beach with confused eyes, as if she was recalling something, "A woman who grew up in this harsh environment, if she wasn't so powerful, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to survive." My mother was the same back then, not missing any opportunity to store food and supporting me and my five younger brothers. ”

Chen Xin knew that the big cat remembered his family again, and patted him on the shoulder wordlessly.

"Hurry up and arrange for someone to boil the soup to ward off the cold, and arrange for a team of medical soldiers to come here to watch the point, every female soldier who goes ashore must be examined, and if there is any illness that cannot be solved, come and tell me, don't let our female soldiers have problems."

"Yes." The attendant received the order and immediately ran towards the logistics.

Chen Xin knew that he could not make these women who were hungry all the year round stop what they were doing, so he could only do his best to solve their pain.

When the big cat recovered, Chen Xin didn't want him to think about those painful pasts again, so he pulled him to the war room.

Back in the war room, Chen Xin frowned and asked the director of the Military Intelligence Department who was standing on the side, "Is Huang Taiji still not moving?" ”。

"General, we sent all the scouts, but we didn't find any signs that Huang Taiji was going to send troops at all, it seems that he had been fighting for a whole year before, and the national strength was not enough, so he couldn't fight anymore."

"Bring me all the information you've spent."

Chen Xin spread out all the information, and then asked Lao Bai to compare the images taken by the falcon with the intelligence, and in the end, Chen Xin, who had not found anything, could only believe the speculation of the director of military intelligence.

Although two reservoirs have been established, due to the short storage time, this year's Yalu River has begun to freeze, but the ice layer is thinner than in previous years, and the river will definitely freeze in another month.

At the current rate of mobilization and assembly, if we wait until the river freezes before starting mobilization, and wait for the army to assemble before coming here from Shenyang, I am afraid that the ice will already be able to try to blast again.

Chen Xin, who really didn't know Huang Taiji's plans, decided to ignore Houjin for the time being, anyway, Shenyang is a long way to get here, which is enough for his side to make defensive preparations.

If you don't come, don't come, as long as you wait until the river can be blasted, no matter what tricks Huang Taiji plays, Houjin's army will no longer be able to pose a threat to his side, and his own sailors, who are not yet powerful, can completely maintain the suppression of Houjin at sea.

Since Huang Taiji didn't send troops over, Chen Xin didn't want to wait stupidly, and after sending scouts and eagle falcons to monitor, he put his focus back on other things.
