The rice was originally passed down from the military rations of the Song Dynasty. The method is to wash the rice with clean water and cook it, then expose it to water to dry, remove the dust, and then do the same method ten times in total. The resulting dry rice is.
When eating, soak the reprocessed dry rice in water first. After the reprocessed dry rice is soaked until soft, cook it into a meal and then eat it.
After this processing, one stone of rice can produce two buckets of rice, which can be eaten by one person for fifty days, which is equivalent to a daily ration of less than 400 grams per person. The volume has been reduced and the weight has become lighter, making it easier to carry
It's easier. Zhu Yongxing thinks that this kind of military ration should be vigorously promoted before compressed biscuits are manufactured. However, he feels that this kind of military ration is not nutritious enough. It can be paired with dried meat, dried vegetables, and a small bag of salt to be carried by individual soldiers.
One of the equipment.
Of course, this kind of rice also has disadvantages, that is, it requires a fire to cook, which is not suitable for covert operations such as ambush and reconnaissance. However, although biscuits are not available, sesame cakes can be temporarily substituted. Holes are dug in the middle and pierced into a string.
Tied around the waist or hung around the neck, it looks a bit like the "Qijia Cake" and "Navel Cake" in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian.
In different eras, the requirements can be lowered! There will be biscuits, compressed biscuits, and cans. As long as you can hold on and wait, the weapons and equipment will become stronger and stronger, and the food and drink will become better and better.
The better things come, Zhu Yongxing envisaged, and even more admired the soldiers at that time for their hard work and low demands.
On the tenth day of September, Zhu Yongxing led his troops and three supply battalions to set off first, heading west towards the Lancang River.
Wang Huashan Palace in Kunming is decorated with lanterns and colors, creating a joyful scene.
"The king (Sangui) guarded Qin and Shu, compiled Yunnan and Guizhou, suppressed rebellion in Fushun, and made great contributions. The pseudo-Yongli used the evildoers of the Ming Dynasty to incite party members, falsely claim titles, and steal a corner... Specially imitated ancient systems. Entering the feudal state
Prince, add special gifts to show your favor... I hope that the king will encourage loyalty and diligence, and protect the royal family of the vassal..."
In the study, Wu Sangui recalled the words of the imperial edict, stroking his beard and smiling with contentment.
"Become a prince and add special gifts". The favor I have in the heart of the Holy Ancestor is really extraordinary, and it is not in vain that I have loyal to the Qing Dynasty, fought in the army, and made numerous meritorious deeds.
"Pingfan royal family", this means that the imperial court will never withdraw from the feudal dynasty. The descendants of the Wu family can inherit the royal title hereditary and stay with the Qing Dynasty forever.
"General Manager of Yunnan and Guizhou", the governors and governors of the two provinces will also be "controlled" by me. In time, when my confidants are all over Yunnan and Guizhou, the two provinces will also become the Wu family's private territory.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and after getting Wu Sangui's permission, counselor Liu Xuanchu stepped in. Seeing the joy on Wu Sangui's face, he hurriedly stepped forward to congratulate him.
Liu Xuanchu, whose name was Maoya and whose courtesy name was Xuanchu, was from Sichuan. He originally served as a secret servant in the palace of Shu King Liu Wenxiu. He was quite good at planning. After Liu Wenxiu failed, Sangui took him in and kept him by his side, consulting from time to time.
"Xuanchu, sit down quickly." Wu Sangui was happy and naturally very approachable.
"Your Majesty." After Liu Xuanchu took his seat, he asked: "Is it to send troops to pacify Yunnan?"
"Exactly." Wu Sangui nodded, he had gotten everything he wanted, and it was time for him to work hard and continue to serve the Qing Dynasty.
"I heard that Bai Wenxuan, the puppet king of western Yunnan, Li Dingguo, the puppet king of central Yunnan, and Nasong, the native official of Yuanjiang, all seemed to be acting strangely. What are the details?" Liu Xuanchu asked next.
"The puppet king Bai Wenxuan stationed troops in the Nu River to spy on Huiren Ferry. The puppet king Li Dingguo seems to have the intention of attacking the Nanjian River." Wu Sangui paused for a moment and said in a more serious tone: "The chieftain of Yuanjiang, Na Song, hooked up with the chieftains to steal blood and drill knives. The rebellion has already begun.
Zhao."
Liu Xuanchu pondered for a moment and said: "The false king established the country, and the Wenxuan may have been a feint, but Yuanjiang Nasong is a serious problem. There will definitely be support from the false clan in the future, so we should not ignore it."
"The words of Xuanchu coincide with this king." Wu Sangui gently touched his palm and said with a sneer: "The false king's pretense is false, but Nasong's rebellion in Yuanjiang is real. When the Kunming soldiers come out to suppress it, Na's family
Come and rob Yunnan (referring to Yunnan Prefecture at that time, now Kunming City), this plan cannot be hidden from me."
"The Na family in Yuanjiang has a deep foundation, and there are fake clans that deceive people's hearts. If they are not eradicated, the place will be shaken." Liu Xuanchu frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "However, we need to be on guard in central and western Yunnan, and we must not be careless."
"Yongchang has Zhang Yong and nearly 10,000 defenders; Dali also has thousands of soldiers, plus officers and soldiers from Erhai Guard, Chuxiong, and Wuding towns, so there is no need to worry about defending the city." Wu Sangui stroked his beard and made calculations while introducing, "I
The general ordered the soldiers from all over the country to stand firm and not to fight in vain. The remaining army of the puppet Ming Dynasty has no more than 30,000 soldiers and no red barbarian heavy artillery. They will be defeated by the fortified city. If they attack from far away, they will not be able to sustain food and grass. How can they wait for long?
I will lead the army to wipe out the Yuanjiang River with thunderous force, and then go out to the border to suppress it. I can wipe it out in one fell swoop and wrap up the whole situation early."
Liu Xuanchu didn't have much opinion on Wu Sangui's strategy, but he had a little concern, so he said cautiously: "The king's plan is very appropriate, first close and then far, and destroy them one by one, which is in line with the way of using troops. However, the puppet clan
To support Yuan Jiang from behind, Your Majesty cannot be underestimated."
Wu Sangui nodded in agreement, but disagreed in his heart. In his opinion, the defeat of Tengchong was mainly due to water, soil and rainy season, not how brave the pseudo-clan and the Ming army were. The pseudo-emperor Yongli fled to Burma, and the pseudo-clan stayed behind to avoid Annan.
It is said that they are all from the same family, so there is no ambition to rise to the throne. It's just that the pseudo clan left behind is a little more courageous than Yongli.
During this period of time, Wu Sangui was waiting for the court's discussion and reply, but he was not idle. While reorganizing and expanding his troops, he also sent additional troops to Yongchang. The four towns of Suppression and Fu had also been dispatched to four important areas in Yunnan: Zuozhen stationed in Wuding
Fu (Wuding), the right town is stationed in Qujingfu (Qujing), the front town is stationed in Chuxiongfu (Chuxiong), and the back town is stationed in Erhaiwei, that is, Yunnan County (Xiangyun).
Each of these four towns had 3,000 soldiers, which was quite similar to the four major military regions of later generations. Their total soldiers were the highest military officers in the region, namely Zhang Guozhu, Yan Zhen, Liu Wenjin, and Wang Yongzuo, all of whom were subordinate to Sangui.
Not only that, Wu Sangui also selected civilian personnel to serve as officials at all levels in Yunnan from provincial to local levels, taking charge of local supervision and military affairs in order to strengthen local control.
Among them, Hu Yun participates in politics as the Chief Envoy of Yunnan and guards the Jincang Road; Li Xuan serves as the counselor of the Chief Envoy of Yunnan and guards Erhai Road; He Yuxiu serves as the Deputy Envoy Counselor of the Yunnan Chief Envoy Department and guards Linyuan Road; Su Hongmo serves as the counselor of the Yunnan Chief Envoy.
Deputy envoy of the Ministry of Inspection and Inspection of the Qing Dynasty, and missionary in the Qing army; Ma Fenggao was deputy envoy of the Ministry of Inspection and Inspection of Yunnan, and was assigned to patrol the Lin'an army and roads; Ji Yun was the envoy of the Inspection and Inspection Department of Yunnan, and was responsible for patrolling the water conservancy roads; Ji Yaodian was the envoy of the Inspection and Envoy of Yunnan Province, and was assigned to inspect the water conservancy roads.
, was assigned to patrol the Jin Teng Army Preparation Road; Tian Cuizhen was the deputy envoy of the Yunnan Inspection and Envoy Department, and was assigned to patrol the Erhai Road; Lin Yiyuan was the deputy envoy of the Yunnan Inspection and Envoy Department, and was assigned to patrol the Qujing Road.
With all the military and political power in the hands of Wu Sangui, he naturally wanted to appoint trusted civilian officials and military officers to firmly control Yunnan and Guizhou.
"Your Majesty." Liu Xuanchu hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "If Yuanjiang does not raise a flag to rebel, and war breaks out again in central and western Yunnan, what can be done?"
Wu Sangui sneered, stroked his beard and said leisurely: "Xuanchu, what do you think?"
"Fu Yongli is in Burma, but the false kings Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and others use Yongli to confuse people's minds. They think hard and succeed, but the trouble lies in the door. The chieftain is repeatedly uncertain, only seeking to gain benefits, just like our troops are immobile. , Rebellious to the party, pretended to be Yongli to call on the barbarians at home and abroad, and used the bait of high nobility and high salary. Once he was incited, beacons rose everywhere, and the trouble was at his elbows and armpits." Liu Xuanchu said with a half-smile but not a smile: "The king wants his teacher to be famous. You can ask Na Song to go to Kunming to receive the imperial edict. If he doesn't come, you can send troops to attack him."
"Xuanchu knows what I want." Wu Sangui laughed and said, "The rainy season is coming to an end. It's time for the three armies to prepare for the expedition, collect food and summon the minions, and I will personally conquer Yuanjiang."
Liu Xuanchu nodded in agreement. The Yuanjiang Na clan had accumulated wealth and power over many generations and was the strongest among the chieftains in Yunnan. Wu Sangui's personal conquest would not only increase his reputation, but also serve as a warning to the monkeys.
Wu Sangui sent Liu Xuanchu away. He was happy in his heart. The plans coincided and he no longer had any worries. Although the Yunnan soil was taken away, but the Yunnan game was not over, it was in his own interests to advance troops in time and take over the overall situation early.
Pushing open the window, Wu Sangui looked out. The pavilions, pavilions, bridges and flowing water were already magnificent. But at this time, he was a little unsatisfied. This is a palace. It needs to be more grand, magnificent and more sacred. That's it. After the Yunnan Province is pacified, it will be necessary to build and expand it to make it splendid and dazzling.
There are red pavilions and green marshes, winding springs, and lofty pavilions and halls. These magnificent palaces are full of spring flowers and autumn moon nights. Under the moonlight, in the garden, wine and banquets are held, and beautiful women sit on one side. From time to time, When the wine is in full swing, let Yuanyuan sing a song.
The singing is clear and beautiful, the emotions are stirring, and the singing is emotional and enchanting. The singing makes you drunk, and when you are drunk but not drunk, you stroll and dance, showing a vigorous and vigorous look. After dancing, you hold the cup in a round cup to pray for longevity. It is really the happiest thing in life. .
Wu Sangui, who is over fifty years old and at the pinnacle of his position of power, has begun to seep into his body the extravagant pursuit of pleasure. Standing in front of the window, the old man longs for and fantasizes...
Zhu Yongxing had just finished processing the latest intelligence and walked out of the tent with Ye Hu from the Military Intelligence Department. At this time, a few stars were twinkling in the sky, and the breeze carried the whispers of people not far away.
He guessed correctly. The Qing army in Kunming was indeed not idle. They sent troops everywhere to strengthen defense and collected grain and grass to stockpile. Wu Sangui even expanded his troops and waited for the end of the rainy season before taking action.
According to normal strategic thinking, there is no problem in approaching first and then far away. But if Wu Sangui goes out to attack the frontier first, Zhu Yongxing doesn't think there is anything wrong. After all, the strength on the Yuanjiang side is not weak. The main force of the Qing army has gone far away. The opportunity will be greatly increased. If you take the opportunity to raise troops, you can encircle Wei and save Zhao.
For the Qing army, Kunming was not only a symbol of superior victory, but also a burden that could never be easily thrown away. And the cities such as Yongchang, Dali, Chuxiong, and Yao'an within the Three Rivers were controlled by the Qing army. The defensive line of the Ming army's northward advance also prevented a large number of Qing troops from mobile combat. Almost all of the Qing army's largest mobile forces were concentrated in Kunming, which was a weakness that the Ming army could exploit.
Moreover, unlike the thinking of most Han people at the time, Zhu Yongxing hated Wu Sangui very much and had no hope that he could change his ways or surrender. He was not afraid of Wu Sangui either. He was a brilliant and unparalleled conspirator.
That's it. Throughout his military career, there have never been any admirable examples of commanding battles. Even the overwhelming momentum in the early days of the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty was eventually offset by his fatal strategic mistakes.
I, a time-travelling person, can't defeat you, an old traitor? Zhu Yongxing believes that as long as the Ming army is united sincerely and does not suffer from internal strife, Wu Sangui will not be invincible.
"Your Highness, I resign from my humble position." Ye Hu was born in Jinyiwei, and his work in the Intelligence Department was exactly what he was good at. He has already taken up the vacancy created by Zhou Liangfu's arrival in the Supervision Department.
"Go ahead and report us as soon as you have any information." Zhu Yongxing warned, and then ordered: "Pay special attention to the communication with Yuanjiang, and be sure to ensure smooth communication."
"Yes." Ye Hu bowed and saluted, turned around and left.
Zhu Yongxing paused briefly, turned around and walked towards a wheelbarrow outside the tent, while Yang Guoxiang followed closely with two personal guards.
After a day's march, the situation was pretty good. Although it was less than forty miles, it was not much different. After all, the supply camp had just been established and there were still many areas that needed improvement. Zhu Yongxing had an idea. He felt that it should be used extensively in the infantry.
wheelbarrow.
This idea came about because the road conditions of that era were really unflattering, and the armor of the infantry was indeed an issue that could not be ignored during the march. The wheelbarrow was compact, with a load of up to 200 to 300 kilograms, and could carry ten infantrymen for a small flag.
Transport armor. Two people work in groups. If calculated as forty miles per day, each person will push eight miles. The rest of the time is to carry light armor. It is obviously much easier than traveling with armor on your back.
What's more important is that the wheelbarrow has a wide range of adaptability to roads. It can pass through narrow roads, lanes, field ridges, and wooden bridges. It is also convenient for walking on rugged paths and mountains and hills. Its transportation capacity is several times larger than the human load and animal power.
If the wheels are made larger, they will not be easily stuck on rough roads; if sails are added, wind power can also be used; if the positions of various parts of the unicycle are improved based on Newtonian mechanics, it should be more labor-saving.
Well, I'd better leave this to others to study. It seems difficult to solve this problem with my own physical level. Zhu Yongxing grinned secretly, stopped in front of the unicycle he just bought on the road today, and looked around.
Did the people use this thing to launch the victory in the Huaihai Battle? Zhu Yongxing turned left and right, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
The name and style of the wheelbarrow are different in the south and the north. In the north, it is commonly called "small car"; in the southwestern Han people, it is commonly known as "chicken bus" because it makes a non-stop "chirp" sound when driving; in the south of the Yangtze River, it is called "chicken bus" because of its constant "chirp" sound when driving.
The front end is pointed and the two push handles at the back are like sheep's horns, also known as "goat-horn carts". The length of the wheelbarrow's shaft, its flatness and slant, the height and height of the support pole, the straightness and slant of the wheel cover, and the square and oval shape of the wheel cover vary almost from place to place and from person to person.
different.
Zhu Yongxing lifted up the two handlebars and tried to push it twice. It is said that this thing has only one wheel and should be easy to overturn, but he did see someone using it to carry heavy loads and people, and to travel long distances smoothly and lightly. Moreover.
It is said that the founder of this wheelbarrow was Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. Its predecessor was the wooden ox and the flowing horse, which was a very important invention in the history of transportation.
Yes, unicycles should be more useful and more commonly used in Sichuan. There are plank roads, mountain roads, field ridges and paths that are no more than one foot wide. On these, all other vehicles are intimidated, and only unicycles can handle it with ease. So, it is destined to be
Wheelbarrows exist for small roads. As roads become wider and better, two-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles will gradually replace unicycles.
Giggle... A burst of laughter disturbed Zhu Yongxing's mood, but Mengzhu came to the side with two maids at some point. Thinking that Zhu Yongxing was playing curiously, he covered his mouth and snickered.
Zhu Yongxing couldn't help but laugh, and stretched out his hand to say, "Come on, sit on it and see if I can push it steadily?"
"Your Highness, if you don't go to bed earlier, why are you so interested in this cart?" Mengzhu came over with a smile, but did not sit on the cart.
"I want to promote this vehicle in the army." Zhu Yongxing smiled and explained: "One vehicle with a small flag, loaded with armor and weapons to accompany the advance, can save auxiliary troops. If there is a war, the soldiers can also get it nearby
Take it and equip it quickly. Well, maybe it would be better to equip a small flag with a fire soldier and a medical soldier?"
There are twelve people in a small banner, four small banners are a general banner, four general banners are one hundred households, four one hundred households are one thousand households, and four one thousand households are one town. In Zhu Yongxing's future military reform vision
In the process, he felt that the four-four system was more suitable for the current army with a mixture of hot and cold weapons. Of course, the idea was just an idea after all, and it would be changed and improved based on observation in the future.
"Your Highness, don't you think this is a bit weird?" Mengzhu looked at the wheelbarrow from side to side, looking a little confused.
There were a large number of wheelbarrows mixed in the marching column, which kept creaking and creaking. This was indeed a bit strange! Zhu Yongxing smiled bitterly, but his idea did not change. If there were wheelbarrows loaded with armor, each soldier would carry another ten kilograms or more.
Fifteen kilograms of delicious rice can not only speed up the march, but also support the battle for ten days and a half. More importantly, it reduces a large number of auxiliary troops. This advantage makes Zhu Yongxing excited.
The key that affects the marching speed is not the physical strength of the infantry, but the transport of baggage, which is the slowest. Those large vehicles have very high requirements on road conditions, and it is very common for them to get stuck. When marching, there are more than a dozen or several
It's even more common for ten people to be there shouting and pulling and carrying.
Unicycles, or narrow-gauge two-wheelers pulled by one horse, are more suitable for the roads of this era. However, the requirements for transportation volume require that the supply camp must be equipped with large vehicles. This is really a problem that makes it difficult to have both, Zhu Yongxing
I feel that I still think too little and be too idealistic.
Fortunately, this battle relied mostly on water transportation, and the land transportation volume was small, so it did not have much impact on the implementation of the plan. Thinking of this, Zhu Yongxing shook his head helplessly.
When he saw Mengzhu beside him, he became playful again and insisted on the girl sitting on it. He wanted to experience the feeling of the husband pushing his wife back to her parents' home in ancient times.
