Chapter 476 I am really convinced
In the next few days, along the way, the team led by Fu Huaian and other pioneer teams,
They more or less encountered other pastoral tribes, as well as teams sent by the Northern Yuan Dynasty to plunder the valleys.
In fact, such a team is easy to distinguish. They are ordinary pastoral tribes with men, women, young and old, and they also have all kinds of cattle, horses and sheep.
The only people who can forage for grass and grain are basically horses and a small number of sheep, which are of course reserve food.
What is more obvious is that each member of a team usually has two or three war horses.
These horses followed closely behind the troops and could be replaced at any time during the march or even in the middle of a battle.
The horse changing is carried out in a relay manner, which can ensure safety and also ensure the completion of the scheduled tasks to the greatest extent.
Generally, when they encountered Northern Yuan soldiers who were raiding the valleys, they would kill them all. When they encountered ordinary herdsmen, they would leave them to the army behind and have the logistics soldiers take them back.
In fact, whether it is the people of the grassland or the people inside the Great Wall, most people yearn for peace. The repeated battles are just to satisfy the greedy hearts of certain superiors.
As long as these herdsmen obey discipline, there will be many different ways of resettlement after the victory of the war. Some will be redeemed by the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and some will stay and settle in the border areas.
Along the way, Fu Huaian's five vanguard teams reaped a rich harvest. It can be said that they harvested a lot of war horses, cattle and sheep.
But the north is not all grassland, especially when the army passed through the Daboyan Mountain area, looking out into the desert, all they could see was endless yellow sand, extremely desolate!
However, after the army crossed the turbulent Luqu River, they captured a small number of Northern Yuan soldiers.
After torture, they heard that the state teacher Tai Alu's son Agula was nearby.
Of course, Fu Huaian was not the kind of person who believed easily. After confirming it again and again, he felt that the accuracy of the news was very high.
He immediately ordered a messenger to be sent to quickly inform Fu Changzhou behind him.
At this time, Fu Huaian's vanguard had already gathered, leaving 5,000 soldiers stationed on the spot to guard the prisoners, as well as the cattle, horses and sheep.
He only led this group of people and a month's rations to pursue. Everyone knows that the national teacher Tai Alu has only one son, and he values him very much.
If he is captured alive, even if Tai'a Luzhen cannot surrender for his son, it will be able to suppress the morale of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
As for Tangjia Village.
Since the Ministry of Industry had delivered plastic cotton to the Warehouse Office twice, it had sent another fifty cotton machines to the village.
Moreover, the battle reports from the border have never stopped, almost every day. Shen Zhiqiu encountered it once when he went to deliver plastic cotton to the Warehouse Office for the second time.
It was all great victories, with so many enemy soldiers killed and captured, and so many cattle, horses and sheep harvested. The news was shouted by the messengers as soon as they entered the city gate, all the way to the palace.
The people were extremely excited. You could see people with smiles on their faces everywhere on the streets, discussing in groups some gossip they had heard from somewhere.
Then, after returning to the village and telling everyone about it, the people of Tangjia Village and the Nine Clans worked even harder.
In fact, as the days passed, they became colder and more anxious as news from the front continued to come back.
I wish I could have the ability to clone myself so I could make more cotton and military boots to keep warm.
Let those soldiers who fought bravely in the bloody battles put them on earlier.
However, a major event happened among the nine tribes, which was that they bought more cows.
In fact, Shen Zhiqiu wanted to buy this cow for a long time, but it was not easy to buy dozens of good cows at once.
The first two times when plastic cotton was delivered to the Warehouse Office, the animals used to transport the goods were borrowed from Tangjia Village in addition to those already owned by the Nine Clans.
But it was still not enough, after all, there were so many military boots and military rations also needed to be transported.
Although they only need to deliver it to the storage office of Shuntian Prefecture and do not need to worry about the subsequent transportation,
Shen Zhiqiu still went to find County Magistrate He, arranged people for them, and bought fifty cows.
I wanted to buy more, but there were too many to buy. For the fifty cows, I spent six or seven hundred taels of silver, and filled up the half-circle barn built by the nine clans.
When the workshop was being built, the officials from the Ministry of Works also divided up space in the backyard and built a cattle shed for them.
But even so, except for the little red horse Lieyan and the little donkey who could live in one room, the rest had to share three or four animals in one room.
The grandfather was thinking about building a barn on the extra base, but then he thought that although there was still some open space outside, there was no wall, and he was afraid that the animals would be fed to hungry wolves on winter nights.
However, being able to buy cattle on a large scale again is definitely a happy thing for all the nine clans.
In fact, it was not just the nine tribes. When these fifty cows appeared in Tangjia Village, the whole village was shocked.
It’s not that there are not so many cows in the village. There are so many households in the village, so there are at least a hundred or so.
But there are only a few families in the Nine Clans, and you buy fifty at once?
Don't blame everyone for being surprised. In ancient times, oxen were equivalent to modern cars, seed drills, and harvesters.
In modern times, who in the countryside would buy these large agricultural machines, fifty at a time?
When Hunter Gao saw the cow, he shouted until his neck turned red:
"All the people from the nine clans, come out and divide the cattle!"
He used the big loudspeaker that Shen Youyou had made in each room to shout,
Since the workshop has become bigger now, Shen Youyou installed a large loudspeaker on the roof of every entrance to the workshop.
Below are some talking microphones connected to copper pipes. As long as you speak loudly below, the sound will be transmitted through the copper pipes and can be heard by workshops in other courtyards.
But I have to admit that the technology is limited. Every time I shout from the first person I enter the yard, I have to shout at the top of my lungs if I want the four or five people entering the yard behind me to hear me.
Look, not only the people from the Jiu clan, but also the villagers working in Tangjia Village heard it, and they were really envious when they saw it!
Tang Jiugong had been ill for several days since he nearly fainted from anger. He has just recovered a little and often comes to chat with Master Shen.
The reception room of the Jiuzu New Workshop is filled with sweet and fragrant Wenguan tea and four kinds of dried fruits.
Persimmon cakes, dried sweet potatoes, sugar-fried chestnuts, and fried pine nuts.
As the weather turned cooler, Mr. Shen often stayed in the reception room, and the fire wall in the room was lit up.
In such an environment, is there anyone who would not want to come?
Good food and drinks, and people to chat with.
So when the old man heard what Gao Liehu said, he also envied him: "Brother, I really admire and envy your family.
It's a big deal that a young man like this has made great achievements in the clan. You have only been here for a short time, and now you are all buying cows together!"
Master Shen, smoking the good tobacco bought by his youngest son, smiled and said, "Come on, let's go out and take a look."
In fact, he was thinking: "It's not just the third son who has a bright future. Our Yoyo is even more promising.
It’s only because my daughter is a girl, otherwise if the imperial court allowed her to take the imperial examination, she might have passed the exam and become a Jinshi.”
