Chapter 430: When the smoke of Saibei gradually rises
As for some people who will ask, why don't you use my high-tech kang from Dahuaxia. Boys, that's not what Southerners are used to sleeping. Duan Shaojun remembered that he once went back to the northeast to visit relatives. At that time, it was between summer and autumn, and relatives were worried that he would not be able to sleep in the cold, so they baked the kang.
As a result, Duan Shaojun sat on the edge of the kang and dozed off all night, it was too hot, and as soon as he lay down, he was sweating, and there was no possibility of falling asleep at all. From that day on, Duan Shaojun finally understood that this thing had to practice sleeping since he was a child, otherwise, people who had never slept before would suddenly sleep a few times, and that was because he wanted to sleep well.
Therefore, it is more practical to renovate a fire pit than to build a fireplace, as long as it is warm enough.
I threw a piece of coal into the fireplace, and the fire continued to burn, and I felt much warmer and more comfortable all over my body, much cooler than using a charcoal stove.
"My lord, we sleep here too?" The guards beside him threw their luggage aside, stood in front of the fireplace and rubbed their hands, moving their bodies, which were a little stiff by the cold wind outside, and looked curiously at the house they had built with their own hands.
Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes and said angrily. "You are my own soldiers, if you don't squat with me, are you still going to freeze in the cold winter in Saibei?"
"How can it? I didn't expect Childe to be so kind-hearted, so I would be disrespectful. A ticket carried luggage into the room, and the guards and soldiers all squeezed in giggling.
Fortunately, Duan Shaojun had made plans at the beginning, so the three large rooms built were spacious enough, and a thatched house was built next to it, and the kitchen was in the middle of the room, with a fireplace, cooking was naturally no problem.
#####
And the rest place of the pro-soldiers is also in the middle room, anyway, the fire is only at noon and night, usually you can rest as soon as the mat is laid, there will be no problems.
The back hall is the smallest, but it is still only big compared to the rooms of later generations, not to mention lying on twenty or so people, even if there are more. Fortunately, it was still popular to sleep on the floor and couch instead of the bed, and if it was a bed, it would be more troublesome. However, it can also be solved with a high and low bed, which can save space.
And Duan naturally occupied the entire back room by himself, and the middle room was the rest and kitchen of the soldiers. The front hall is a place for reception and everyone to brag and fart. In case something happens, how can the front hall sleep twenty or thirty people without being too crowded.
The only problem is that the lighting in the room is not very good, after all, there is no electric light in this era, and the light transmittance of the white gauze covered by the window is not very high. But it doesn't matter much, anyway, the house is sitting north and facing south, so as to avoid the sad scene of the howling north wind directly into the house.
"Childe, there is a letter for you." Duan Shaojun, who was sitting in front of the fireplace, was bragging with the guards, and saw a guard rushing in from outside, and waved the envelope in his hand with an excited face.
"For me?" Duan Shaojun immediately stood up and copied the letter to take a look. I couldn't help but feel a little more warm on my face, this was the handwriting of Chu Chu's sister. The content of the letter, as before, asked Duan Shaojun about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and also told Duan Shaojun some interesting things in Beijing.
And the warmth of the pulse jumps in the pen. Duan Shaojun gently stroked the letter, he left Beijing, in a blink of an eye, it has been almost a month and almost two months, lovesickness, but can only be transmitted through the letter, although the letter is full of sweetness, but who can know, are they really okay?
Leaning on the bed in the back hall that had just been paved with animal skins and bedding, Duan Shaojun, who had finally relaxed lightly, believed in those distant relatives.
Whether it is Chu Chu's sister, or Xu Xiangjun, or Su Su. Or those bad friends who often insert brothers in their ribs and double knives, or the masters and brothers who are far away in the south of the Yangtze River.
Just when Duan Shaojun was thinking a lot, he suddenly heard the sound of the war drums that shook and exploded into his ears, like the roar of thunder between the mountains and rain. Duan Shaojun's face couldn't help but change, put down the pen he had just picked up, and walked quickly towards the outside of the room, while ordering those pro-soldiers to stay in the house honestly, and took the two pro-soldiers and walked quickly towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
Along the way, Duan Shaojun had already seen countless soldiers rushing out of their respective military tents, wearing armor, holding spears and bows, and concentrating towards the school field. And those officers at the rank of lieutenant are rushing towards the big tent of the Chinese army.
Duan Shaojun's footsteps couldn't help but be a little faster, and when he entered the big tent, all the generals stood in the big tent with a gloomy face. And Princess Zhaoyang is still dressed as always, tall and straight, wearing that set of shining bright light armor, very heroic.
But at this time, her expression was more calm than usual, and a little more gloomy. "Are they all there?"
"General, all the generals and colonels have arrived, and I would like to ask the general to show me." Huda shouted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this commander has received an urgent military situation, the Manxi Khan of Qihu, with 30,000 horsemen, is heading towards Qingsai and Tiancheng in the northwest of me, these two places are the key points of the junction of Yunzhou and Ulzhou. The Qingsai army is only 3,000 soldiers, and the Tiancheng army is only 2,000 cavalry, and these 30,000 cavalry will arrive in three days at most. ”
"If they are allowed to take Qingsai Fort and Tiancheng Fort, then most of my Yunzhou and northern Ulzhou areas will be allowed to come and go freely." Princess Zhaoyang said this, and her eyes swept over this fierce general. "Therefore, Ben Shuai decided to order Qing Sai and Tiancheng to join forces to defend Qing Sai, and Ben Shuai will personally command 20,000 iron cavalry, copy the back road of the Manxi Khan, and be sure to do his best in one battle, leaving the head of Manxi Dachuan."
"I am willing to fight to the death with the general!" Dozens of generals clasped their fists and saluted Princess Zhaoyang in unison, and promised loudly. Duan Shaojun watched coldly as Princess Zhaoyang dispatched troops and horses, and the general went out to fight, and the army naturally moved, except for the 20,000 soldiers and horses, Xu Shou led 10,000 elite soldiers to the northwest before, and was inspecting the defense areas of Yunzhou. And in the end, in addition to the garrisons guarding the forts, there were also scouts and cavalry who were scattered hundreds of miles away from Yunzhou City. The remaining soldiers and horses of the Zuo Yu Lin Wei camp outside the entire Yunzhou City were only 5,000.
Princess Zhaoyang ordered a Zhonglang surnamed Wang to preside over the work of the camp and wait for General Xu Shou to return from patrolling all parts of Yunzhou. His gaze swept and fell on Duan Shaojun's body. "As for Duan Changshi, well, continuing to make more marching dry food will be a great achievement."
#####
Duan Shaojun rolled his eyes helplessly and stepped forward to salute. "The general can rest assured that he will make more dry food for the needs of the army." Fortunately, this kind of dry food was really good before, at least after those soldiers tasted instant noodles, they tried to eat this thing instead of gnawing on the dead noodles.
These days, I continued to make instant noodles, which were cheaper to carry and could be stored for a long time, and I was able to make the dry food for the march of the 40,000 army for ten days. However, what is a bit of a headache is the fragility of instant noodles, and Duan Shaojun can't solve it, but since he loves to eat, it doesn't matter if it is broken into flour slag, it is much better than gnawing dead dough cakes.
The soldiers felt that even if the cheap flour residue was boiled and turned into a batter, it was much better than the dead dough cake, so this shortcoming of the aspect was directly ignored by everyone, including Duan himself, after all, in the era of so advanced science and technology in the 21st century, he couldn't make a face that would not break, how could he get that thing dry wool? It's better to just compress the biscuits, don't say that thing is broken, you can use it to smash people.
Wang Zhonglang, the only one left, looked at the generals and colonels happily one by one with an aggrieved face, and that resentful gaze made Duan Shaojun feel like a resentful woman who had been waiting for her husband's return for ten years in the boudoir.
General Li led the crowd to flash people, in the big tent of the Chinese army, there were only three or two kittens left, and the Zuofu Zuolang general surnamed Wang was on the fifth grade, and there were five captains, all of whom were on the sixth grade. In addition, there are ten brigade commanders, all of whom are from the same six grades as Duan Shaojun, the chief of the Zuo Yulin Guard.
In other words, there is still a vote of people whose official positions are higher than Duan Shaojun, but fortunately, Duan Shaojun is only directly subordinate to General Li, and although the official positions of General Lang and Captain are higher than him, they can't govern him, the dignified Zuo Yulin Guard.
