Chapter 1634 Why is my broom so precious?
?Early the next morning, before Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were fully in the state, Tang Ji had already led his men and lined up in the camp fully equipped.
"Tang Sima, this is..." Liu Bei looked at the well-equipped Tang Ji and was quite at a loss.
Tang Ji raised his hands and said: "General Hussar has said that giving a fish is not as good as giving someone a chance to fish... Please also ask General Liu to summon a hundred soldiers to follow me into the mountains!"
“I’ll go too!” Zhang Fei said angrily.
“Third brother, you...” Liu Bei turned back and looked at Zhang Fei.
“Brother, let me go!” Zhang Fei opened his round eyes and looked at Liu Bei sincerely. Zhang Fei felt very guilty after the previous defeat. Although he didn''t know what kind of medicine was in Tang Ji''s gourd, Zhang Fei still felt that he needed to give it a try, at least for his elder brother.
Liu Bei hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Well, just be careful..." He turned to ask Tang Ji again, but received a reply that was neither painful nor itchy, neither arrogant nor humble.
?? Tang Ji ignored the little thoughts between Liu Bei and Zhang Fei. He just taught it. As for whether he can learn it, it depends on Liu Bei and Zhang Fei''s ability...
When Liu Bei had gathered a hundred soldiers, Tang Ji took a step forward and shouted loudly: "The art of the mountains and forests is nothing more than the words ''living'' and ''war''. Living comes before fighting. If you want to fight, you must live first." , if you survive, you can fight. Today, I will be taught the skills of the mountains and forests by Qingqi. I hope you will be careful. Anyone who violates the order will be severely punished according to the law of war!"
Liu Bei''s soldiers turned to look at Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, but saw that Liu Bei and Zhang Fei did not say a word, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Tang Ji''s rights, so they all concentrated their attention and listened to Tang Ji''s arrangements.
Tang Ji divided the soldiers into ten groups, and then led by his own men, they quickly left the camp and headed towards the mountain forest. When they reached the mountain, Tang Ji stopped, pointed to the mountain forest and said: "You want to Living in the mountains and forests means the four methods of clothing, food, shelter and transportation. Today I will first teach you the method of the word ''clothing''..."
Tang Ji said, then took out a shiny treasure and threw it into the sky, and then military aura surged up, covering all the soldiers in an instant...
Okay, the last sentence is from a fantasy set.
In fact, what Tang Ji took out was a long, unpretentious, and even somewhat flavorful one—
cloth strips.
To be honest, the military robes of the Han Dynasty were not suitable for mountain warfare. Because most of the wars in China before were concentrated in flat areas or small hilly areas, or even desert areas, but very little attention was paid to the south. This resulted in very few soldiers and horses in the Han Dynasty setting foot in the mountains and forests. Therefore, in addition to Except for a few generals who had achieved great results in the battle in southern Xinjiang, the others basically knew nothing about the mountains and forests.
?At the same time, because of their own concerns, these generals fighting in southern Xinjiang will not pass on their experiences and lessons to other people, so there is no chance for others to learn this knowledge.
The military robes of the Han Dynasty were completely defenseless against the insects in the mountains and forests. Although they were not as wide as the large sleeves worn by the nobles, the wide collars and large pants were unavoidable. , as for the girdle that can close the cuffs and trouser legs, generally only soldiers with curvature length and above have such equipment. Ordinary soldiers do not have such equipment, and even the entire arm is exposed when they raise their hands...
In addition, the Han soldiers were not as accustomed to mosquitoes in the mountains as the Zhe people and others, and they did not have any repellent drugs on hand. Coupled with such outer robes, they naturally became the best targets for mountain insects. A long strip of cloth can basically greatly reduce the exposed skin area, which also reduces the chance of being bitten by insects.
"Oh?! There is such a method..." Zhang Fei''s eyes widened as he watched Tang Ji skillfully tie up his cuffs and trouser legs.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were trousers, but at this time the trousers had no crotch and were called "shank clothes". The so-called shin clothes were similar to the stockings of later generations. They had only two separate trouser legs and no waistband. If the belt is tied around the waist, then the trousers with only trouser legs are of course crotchless, or crotchless.
Most Han people wear "lower garments", which are actually two pieces of cloth on the front and back. In order to cover what is in the middle, both men and women wear them. The more sophisticated ones will wear shin clothes under the lower garments, and the more bold ones will just wear it. Legs.
??During the Han Dynasty, the shank jacket also underwent changes. The two originally separated trouser legs were connected and had a waistband, but they were still open crotch trousers, called "poor trousers". Most of the gentry children disdained to wear these. It is recorded in "Book of Han": "Although the people in the palace give orders, they all have poor trousers and many belts."
??In addition, why are the sons of the ancient gentry and princes all hung a jade pendant around their waist? It is not entirely to show their status, but also for practical purposes. After all, you don’t know when the wind will blow or from what angle...
It is said in "Book of Rites·Quli" that "you should not wear clothes when you are working, and you should not put on your lower clothes in summer", which means that even when it is hot, you cannot lift your lower clothes. You should keep your face as much as possible, and don''t do anything like a gentleman''s open balls...
?In terms of trousers, the model of nomadic people is relatively close to that of later generations. After all, they have to ride horses. If these crotchless trousers rub, it will be sour and unpleasant, so naturally don’t mention it. However, the trousers of the Hu people were called "man crotch". Later, they were introduced to the Central Plains and combined with poor trousers, and finally became the prototype of trousers in later generations, also called "dubi crotch", which is shorts. But what’s interesting is that after the invention of crotch pants like “crotch pants”, they were considered a lowly garment and were only worn by the lower class. Children of the upper-class gentry still like to wear open clothes...
??As for ordinary soldiers, they naturally wear short clothes and a short nose skirt. The better ones can also have a wide outer robe. Such equipment was very common in the Han Dynasty.
What should I do if there is no cloth strip?
????????????????????????????????????
Take off a large outer robe and cut strips of cloth directly along the lines...
Tang Ji asked his men to demonstrate again how to wrap the cloth strips, and then how to tie the last part of the cloth strips. However, many of Liu Bei''s soldiers still couldn''t tie the strips. They were either loose or too long like Lada, but what? There were also those who learned quickly and learned well, so Tang Ji praised them and asked his subordinates to mark them down.
??Then he stopped correcting himself and continued into the mountain with his soldiers.
In the mountains and forests, finding the right direction is undoubtedly an important part of traveling.
Using the sun to determine the direction is the basis of the basics. If there is no sun, you can use vegetation, trees, moss, or even unmelted snow on the top of the mountain to roughly determine the direction, and then determine your direction of travel. .
Then there is the sign of progress. Every two hundred steps, either on a tree or directly using branches, set up a sign. On the one hand, you can check whether there is any deviation in the direction of your travel. On the other hand, it is also helpful to find out if you have gone wrong and quickly find the original path. “…In the mountains and forests, first look high and then follow the terrain. If there is a road, don’t go through the forest. If there is a road, don’t go over the mountain. If there are beams, don’t go through ditches. If there are beams, don’t walk across the ditch. If there are vertical beams, don’t go horizontally..."
“...When you are marching, you should also take big steps forward and take small steps to rest. Don’t stop before you reach your station..."
“...When climbing a rock, you need to watch and be cautious, use your hands and feet for support, and be steady before moving..."
As Tang Ji led the people away, he taught the key points and recorded those soldiers who learned quickly in certain aspects. When the sun passed the zenith, he began to look for a campsite and quickly found a more suitable place. Although the area is not a hard and flat rock surface, it can be regarded as a relatively flat ground near the water source.
Clear debris on the ground, drive away insects and snakes that may be hiding in the grass, and then set up a bonfire to smoke. When the choking smoke filled the air, even Zhang Fei couldn''t stand it, let alone some little ants and little ants. Insects such as scorpions were evacuated from their hiding places...
??A small scorpion waved its two pincers just enough to climb over a stone. It was caught in the air by one hand, and its tail stinger was pinched. It could only use its pincers to dance in the air...
"...There are also edible things in the mountains and forests...such as this..." Tang Ji tore off the scorpion''s stinger, then shook it twice in front of Zhang Fei, "After removing its stinger, it can be eaten... Zhang General, do you want to take a look?"
"This...huhu...can you eat it?" Zhang Fei panted heavily and followed Tang Ji all the way. Even though he had good physical strength, he still struggled a bit without any experience in the mountains and forests. But it was precisely because of this that for Tang Ji, Zhang Fei also lost his initial contempt and truly felt that Tang Ji had some abilities, and his attitude also changed somewhat.
Tang Ji nodded.
Zhang Fei stretched out his fingers and pinched the scorpion, frowned and looked around, looking at this unlucky little guy who was probably less than a finger long, then hesitated for a moment, then stuffed it into his mouth, bit it with a squeak, and then swallowed it. Come out, "Bah, bah! It doesn''t taste good! It smells earthy..."
"Uh..." Tang Ji said helplessly, "General Zhang, it''s not impossible to eat it raw... but it''s usually roasted before eating..."
“Huh?!” Zhang Fei was stunned.
??This time, some of the soldiers of Liu Bei''s army who followed Tang Ji to learn more were originally hunters, so they followed Tang Ji''s men to the surrounding area and quickly collected some animals and plants.
Tang Ji introduced some edible animals and plants, and asked the soldiers to pass them to each other, identify them one by one, and even left one or two specimens for the soldiers to take with them, and then ordered them to cook while setting up the station.
?Zhang Fei followed Tang Ji closely, listening eagerly to Tang Ji''s explanation.
“General, the station needs to be dry, and you cannot choose a damp place... If there is no felt cloth to lay on, you can bake it with fire first, then tamp the soil with stones, and then put some hay on it..."
“... people should also be on duty at night to look after the bonfire. If the soldiers gather beside the bonfire, they can avoid insects and repel animals..."
Tang Ji took another wild fruit, handed it to Zhang Fei, and said: "...most of these fruits are edible...but some are poisonous and inedible...If you don''t know how to identify them at the moment, there is an easy way..."
Tang Ji took a knife and cut a slit in the skin of the wild fruit. Then he took out a small bamboo tube from his waist, opened the stopper, poured some fine salt out, and smeared it into the cut of the wild fruit.
"...Look, if it changes color, you can''t eat it..." Tang Ji pointed at the wild fruit and let Zhang Fei see it for himself, and then said, "... When walking in the mountains, generally speaking, you start looking for a campsite in the afternoon, after sunset. All preparations for the camp must be completed beforehand..."
"If you can''t find a source of water for a while, you can immediately look for fruits like this..." Tang Ji took another delicate bamboo section dug by his men and showed it to Zhang Fei, "In the land of Sichuan and Sichuan, there are bamboos everywhere. ...Bamboo knots like this can be baked out with a little baking...But you have to pay attention to the method when baking...But try to follow the water source as much as possible, don''t deviate too far...After all, no matter what we do The subordinates, whether they are the Zhe people or the Zhi people, are actually inseparable from water. If you walk along the water source, you will definitely find their traces... After defeating them several times, these Zhe people and the Zhe people will not have the courage to intrude again. …”
In fact, the official road to Ding Ze is a route that generally follows the route of the water source. However, Liu Bei''s previous soldiers were not adapted to the mountains and forests, let alone leaving the main road. For the Ze people lurking nearby To attack, he is like a blind man. He doesn’t know if he is approached by the Ze people, let alone fight back. If he knows some basic methods of traveling in the mountains and forests, then the Ze people are actually inseparable from the water source. If they want to fight again If the old trick is repeated, after being ambushed and hit several times, the Zuo people will not dare to act rashly.
??And if it comes to a head-on battle, the Ze people are definitely no match for Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, so in fact the problem becomes very simple...
??The aroma of food cooked on the campfire gradually wafted out, adding a lot of human flavor to this mountain forest.
"I stayed here for five days and brought a group of soldiers into the mountain every day..." Tang Ji took the marked roster from his men and handed it to Zhang Fei, "...these are the comparisons among today''s The general can gather outstanding people and form an army. After a little training, they will naturally be able to fight..."
?Zhang Fei looked at the wooden tablets in his hand, feeling a little dazed and muttering not knowing what to say. The marks on the wooden tablet indicate whether the soldiers in each group performed well or poorly today. Those with more circles are good, and those with more crosses are bad. It is very simple and clear. After five days, we will probably be able to pick out about a hundred soldiers who are more adapted to the mountains and forests, which will naturally be enough to deal with the harassment tactics of the Zuo people...
…Here is the dividing line towards the end of this chapter…
?Five days later, Tang Ji took his men on the way back. This time, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei respectfully sent Tang Ji away five miles away, and Fang reluctantly sent Tang Ji away.
"Third brother..." Liu Bei looked at the retreating figures of Tang Ji and others getting smaller and smaller in the mountains, and said after a moment of silence, "... General Hussars actually doesn''t need to teach us these secrets of the mountains and forests... if someone does it For this matter, it is not unfair to send a team of 100 people to one side... In this way, you can get the Dingzi without having to teach the secret method... Hey, this Hussar general is so ambitious... He is indeed not as good as the Hussar, not as good as the Hussar. Ride...Compared with this, how can I cherish my poor broom? How can I cherish my poor broom..."
?Zhang Fei was silent, just following Liu Bei, looking at the back of Tang Ji who was retreating, he cupped his hands again and bowed...
