The tent assigned to Yunjing and the three of them was not big, three meters long and two meters wide. It was triangular in shape. You could stand up straight in the middle, but you had to bend down if you stood on the side.
Most of the area inside has a layer of hay on the ground, and a quilt on top, which is the bed. In the cold winter, the humidity is heavy, and the bed is very damp, and even in winter, the smell is simply charming.
The activity space inside the tent is less than two square meters, and there are basically no furnishings.
In the cold wind, the tent was crumbling. The snow on the ground around the tent outside was more than two feet thick. It seemed that the tent would collapse at any time. The tent was made of cotton and linen. It was ventilated and cold inside. It was just as good as standing outside.
a little.
Letting out a breath of cold air, Lu Wencheng rubbed his arms, shivered slightly and said, "Are we being left out? After all, we are also scholars. Although we are here to practice, we also want to help make suggestions. This is how we are treated here.
us?"
Lu Wencheng had just entered the middle stage of acquired life not long ago. Although his physique was far superior to that of ordinary people, he had not felt it during the march before, but now that he stopped, he could not stand the cold.
Hou Xicai frowned slightly and said: "That's unreasonable. Although we are not here to enjoy happiness, we are not here to deliberately seek trouble. No matter how good the conditions are for us, at least we should be similar to other sergeants. We don't even have a charcoal basin.
No, it’s too much.”
Looking at the hole in the tent in the corner, the cold wind blew in and whistled. Yunjing thought for a while and said: "It probably wasn't targeted at us intentionally. I think there should be enough, but the camp is currently handing over supplies.
You just don’t have time to take care of us.”
"Brother Yun is right. In this case, you guys wait here while I go to the logistics office to ask and bring us all the things we should have." Hou Xicai thought for a while and said, he is the oldest among the three, so he should take care of Yun Jing and the others.
These two little brothers.
As he said that, he turned around and went to the logistics office.
Lu Wencheng hurriedly said: "Brother Hou, we are new here, and the military has orders not to go out and about at will. Isn't it a good idea to go out like this?"
"It should be fine. We are scholars after all, and we are not deliberately breaking the rules. We are just asking for daily necessities. It shouldn't be a big problem to say hello to the patrol soldiers." After saying this, Hou Xicai opened the door and walked out.
Lu Wencheng thought for a while and realized that it was really uncomfortable to stay in the cold tent. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then I will go with you, Brother Hou." Then he told Yun Jing, "Brother Yun, please wait here while we go."
Just come when you go, don’t wander around”
Yunjing also wanted to help, but he thought he couldn't get so many people, so he gave up and stayed.
They had registered before and received badges from the local military camp. Hou Xicai and the others went out for a walk. There was a reason for the incident. They thought it would not be a big problem if they encountered patrolling soldiers.
Moreover, they came to practice. Although they were controlled by the local garrison senior officials, ordinary soldiers really did not dare to go too far. Of course, they would not go too far unless necessary, and everyone would look ugly by then.
Waiting was not an option. Yunjing found a wooden board in the tent, so he went out to clear the circle of snow around the tent to prevent it from being crushed. If nothing else, their tent was going to be destroyed.
Stay for a while.
They were arranged to the northwest corner of the military camp. A few meters away to the left and right were the tents of other soldiers. Behind them, a dozen meters away, was a two-person-high wall made of thick wood. There was a watchtower inside the wall. Two soldiers on guard above were huddled together and shivering.
.
While clearing the snow around the tents, Yunjing noticed that in the surrounding camps, except for patrol soldiers and watch tower informants, almost no one was out and about. Some tents had hidden fires, and the soldiers were all hiding in the tents.
In this damn weather, no matter what, who comes outside? It’s freezing even when you pee.
Moreover, not every tent has firelight. Yunjing guessed that the supplies here must be very scarce. Charcoal fires and the like cannot be taken into account in every tent, so many people might just huddle together to keep warm.
"I hope the supplies delivered this time can make the situation better," Yun Jing thought to himself as he glanced at the bustling supply transfer area.
"Hey, it's rare for someone to be so diligent. Hey, brother, stop working. You have to clean up the area around the tent now. It snows at night and you have to spread it. It's all in vain."
A voice came from the sentry tower behind Yunjing and said, he was trembling as he spoke. It was boring for them to stand so high and watch out in the cold weather. Seeing Yunjing busy, he said a few words.
Turning back and smiling, Yunjing said, "It's okay. I'll just clean it up tomorrow at worst."
"Tsk, you are so poor, why bother to put in that effort? Isn't it comfortable to be in bed with this time?" There were two people on the sentry tower, and another person said with a smile.
While busy, Yunjing responded with a smile: "Although the bed is comfortable, if the tent is crushed, there will be no place to sleep."
"That's right. Come on, work on your own. It's so cold. How long does it take to change the guard? It's really like a year..."
Not long after, Yun Jing cleared the area around the tent and piled the snow one meter high. This provided some protection from the wind, and without the pressure of the snow, the tent was finally no longer shaky.
When he returned to the tent, he scratched his head when he looked at the bed. Although he wasn't a serious mysophobia, the bed was really disturbing. Not only was it damp, but it also smelled bad.
“It’s a cold day, don’t even think about washing and drying, but it’s not impossible.”
Muttering in his heart, Yunjing quickly started operating while there was still time.
Although the bed is a large bunk bed, there are still three beddings, which are barely enough to keep out the cold.
Multi-tasking, Yunjing quickly took out the cotton wool from the quilt, and controlled three cotton wool sheets to fly in front of him with his mind. He stretched out his left hand, and his internal energy ran along the meridians of the 'Fire Fist'. His fist turned red, and the temperature inside the tent rose sharply.
Directly using internal force to bake the moisture of cotton wool can also disperse the odor. Although it cannot achieve the effect of sunlight exposure, it is better than nothing.
While doing this, he quietly ingested the snow from the outside with his mind power, and still used the Fiery Fist to bake it into snow water. Then he washed the sheets and quilts, throwing the dirty water out silently, and basically washed it several times.
Clean and finally dry.
After doing this, he simply baked the hay on the ground to remove the moisture.
Yunjing had strong internal energy, so he did this effortlessly. It only took about ten minutes to finish making the bed again. The place he was in was remote, and he didn't make any noise, so he didn't attract anyone's attention.
Looking at the 'new' bed, the cloud scenery is finally much more pleasing to the eye, and I won't feel so sick even if I sleep on it.
Hou Xicai and the others hadn't returned yet, so Yunjing quietly learned about the situation in the camp.
The entire camp was built on an open hilltop, covering an area as large as half a football field, and was surrounded by a wall made of rough wood. In this camp, leaving aside Liu Fang and the logistics and transportation personnel who came, the entire camp was only a dozen.
There are more than 1,700 people, among whom there is one person from the early stage of innate life. Yunjing guesses that person is the leader of this army. In addition, there are people from the later stage of acquired life. Not counting Yunjing himself, there are five others. The specific positions are unknown, and then there are the people from the day after tomorrow.
There are more than ten in the mid-term, and other soldiers are in the early stages of acquisition and it is difficult to judge.
"The army is indeed a land of crouching tigers, hidden dragons. A team of less than 2,000 people has an innate master and a few acquired masters. This army should have more than this number of people. It should be due to various reasons before
There are still so many casualties left.”
Continue to learn more about the military structure here.
There is a small team of six people including the captain, the fifth small team is a squadron, the third squadron is a large team, the number of people in a large team is about a hundred people, the team captains are almost all people who are in the middle of the day after tomorrow, and then four to six large teams are one team.
There are about 500 people in total, and the corps commander will be trained later in life. The whole military camp has almost three corps.
These establishments are not necessarily full, the remaining people include cooks, logistics, craftsmen, etc...
Without much effort, Yunjing almost figured out the situation of this army.
According to Yunjing's previous understanding, there are traces of the military structure of the Dali Dynasty, and the number of people below Wu at the grassroots level is similar to what he learned here.
In such a basic establishment, the squad leader does not have an official title, and is just a squad leader. When he reaches the squadron leader, he has an official rank, that is, he is a squadron leader, but he is a registered ninth-grade basic officer, and his welfare is better than that of the lowest level officer.
The bottom floor is better, the captain is at level nine.
The corps commander starts from the eighth grade or the full eighth grade. The specific grade depends on the individual's merits.
Further up is the middle-level establishment.
A battalion consists of three to five soldiers. The number of people in a battalion is about 2,000. The rank of the battalion commander is between the seventh and sixth ranks, which is a big step. It mainly depends on personal ability and merit.
Before an officer at the battalion level goes on a mission, his official title is usually a lieutenant, a captain, a captain, a governor, etc. Once he goes on a mission and leads an army alone, his title can be temporarily raised one level. The so-called general is outside.
Usually at that time, he was called "general". No matter how good this "general" was, he was still a general temporarily. No outgoing master would refuse such a title.
The military establishment above a battalion is called an army. An army usually consists of five to ten battalions, about fifteen thousand people. The specific number of people may be more or less, depending on the situation.
Once the organization reaches the army level, if you have good records, you will be given a special number. Anyway, they are the same army, but the difference in combat effectiveness is still very big.
The officers of the first army are naturally the real generals. They start at the fifth rank and have more than 10,000 people under their command. No matter where they are transferred, they are the boss of the army.
Of course, there are many types of generals. Generals and generals are all generals, and generals are also generals. The difference is huge.
The military system is different from the local establishment. Even a fifth-rank tooth general has less influence than a sixth-rank local governor and cannot be confused.
Moreover, there are differences between local garrisons and "military region" armies. Local garrisons are closely related to local governments. Although they are still under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, part of the various expenses and supplies for local garrisons come from the local area, so the establishment of local garrisons is different in different places.
of.
This is also why the garrison generals with several hundred people in Sitong Town were qualified to be called partial generals. Firstly, the one stationed alone had great power. Secondly, they were deeply involved with the local area. In short, they were interested in themselves.
He is suspected of being arrogant. In fact, the generals stationed in Sitong Town are only from the seventh rank. The military and political system is different. From the seventh rank, his influence is estimated to be less than that of the mayor of Sitong Town, let alone the county.
A first-level official.
Anyway, things like the military system have different regions and different tasks. The differences are very different and cannot be generalized. If you are more serious, you are simply making yourself uncomfortable. Don't worry about what the title is. It is easier to intuitively distinguish the status by looking at the rank.
High and low.
Then, military establishments above the military level are corps.
A legion is composed of more than five armies, with a total number of more than hundreds of thousands!
Every legion commander is a real boss. They start at the fourth level and can reach the third level if they are powerful. At this level, they are also legion commanders, but the difference is still very big.
Take Yunjing's master Li Qiu as an example. He has an army of 300,000, and the emperor has high hopes for his destiny. Therefore, he is the commander of the third-grade army, with the rank of "general", which is almost the top of the "general" level.
Above the legion commander, there is the commander-in-chief. Strictly speaking, the commander-in-chief is still a general, but he is superior to everyone in a war zone. However, temporarily, there is no such privilege after the war. The commander-in-chief is
The leader who dominates a battlefield, every 'marshal' is a great person...
These are the military establishments that Yunjing learned about during his studies. They may not be comprehensive, but they are very similar.
The establishment of the military is so troublesome, let alone the civilian establishment. The various checks and balances are confusing.
When these thoughts flashed through Yun Jing's mind, Hou Xicai and Lu Wencheng, who had been away for an hour, came back. By then, the sky was getting dark, and Yun Jing noticed that the handover between Liu Fang and the others was coming to an end.
Hou Xicai and the others brought back some things, including charcoal basins, charcoal, a small table, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, as well as bowls and chopsticks.
"I had some suspicions that they were depriving us of things, so they sent us away. The charcoal fire was okay. It was a must-have item for every tent in this weather. The small table was for the sake of us scholars. Pens, inks, paper and inkstones, which can be used in the military.
Not many people use these things at all, so it’s easy to take them out. Tableware and chopsticks are essential items, but apart from these, there is nothing we really need. Quilts, beds, tents, that’s what we need...
"
When he came back, Lu Wencheng looked depressed and muttered.
Hou Xicai consoled him: "Be content, it's good to be able to provide these. In fact, they are out on the battlefield and they themselves lack those supplies. We are temporary personnel from outside. Even if they have some, they will definitely take care of their own people."
"Brother Hou, although what you said makes sense, I still feel a little depressed. How will I live next... Um, Brother Yun, why do I feel that this place is different from when we left before?" Entering the tent,
Lu Wencheng looked inside and said in shock, but he couldn't remember what was wrong. After all, they had stopped here before and then went to the logistics to collect things, so they didn't pay special attention to this place.
He didn’t explain it, otherwise he might think what they would think if he told them that he was consuming his inner energy just to be clean. Yunjing changed the subject and said: “The two eldest brothers are back. I didn’t expect that you actually asked for something.”
"Don't mention it. I spent a long time with the logistics department to get this thing. Quick, quick, raise the fire, it's freezing to death." Lu Wencheng didn't dwell too much on it, but put the things down and stamped his feet.
After a while, the charcoal fire burned in the tent, which brought a little warmth.
However, Hou Xicai and Lu Wencheng were still a little entangled. There was a hole in the tent, and the air was leaking. The heat from the charcoal fire kept escaping out. The key was that the tent was not an oilcloth, and it was also ventilated.
"Hey, it's hot in front, but it's still cold in the back," Hou Xicai said in confusion.
Yunjing thought for a while and said: "Brothers, let's try to boil some water and pour it on the tent. The tent will freeze after getting wet. In this way, there will be no ventilation and the heating can be maintained. As for that
Don't worry about the small holes. It's not a big problem in the corners. They are used for ventilation to prevent us from being suffocated inside."
After hearing what Yun Jing said, Hou Xicai and Lu Wencheng were stunned.
Lu Wencheng looked at Yun Jing and said tangledly: "Boil water to pour water on the tent to keep it from freezing to keep warm? Please don't bully me into studying less. How can such a thing happen in the world?"
I don’t study well, so don’t favor me. Is this method really effective? This is probably what Lu Wencheng meant.
Yun Jing smiled and said, "You will know if you try it or not."
Thinking that Yun Jing had proposed two effective methods on the way before, Lu Wencheng and Hou Xicai were a little entangled and thought they could give it a try.
Then they operate.
Get some ice and snow to melt into water, and then pour it on the tent. In this cold weather, the water you pour will freeze quickly.
Not to mention, this way, the tent is really airtight, and the warmth from the charcoal fire can be retained.
"Brother Yun is such a talented person, why didn't we think of this solution? He solved our headache with just one word," Hou Xicai said in admiration.
Lu Wencheng took a deep breath and said: "Not only that, other tents also need to do this, and even the entire army. In other words, if this method is promoted, Brother Yun will be a great achievement!"
