0414 Good things are approaching

The movement in the yard fell into the ears of the two people in the room. Abu Kahehe Tiannu didn't seem to hear anything wrong. She was about to ask for questioning, and she faintly heard a seemingly empty sigh and a sneer from time to time!

"It's Sister Nchebuku in the left wing who is sighing-" Abukakheh Tiannu said with a blush: "Another one who makes a sneering sound is--"

"Tianhuzong, Xiao Nifei!" Wuhuang Andongye said coldly, put on a robe, came outside the door and shouted, "Come on! Search the palace!"

Under the order of Emperor Wu, the wolf tooth guard, the rose division and the knights all went out and searched the whole palace and even the wolf castle. At dawn, they still did not find the trace of Xiao Nifei. They were all day long and exhausted.

Wuhuang Andongye did not blame these loyal subordinates, but still went to court as usual, practiced kung fu, and played with the big-headed baby An Ono.

The good things of the fourth master are approaching, and the palace is also becoming more and more lively day by day. An Xiaoyu, the fifth brother of the Prime Minister of Defense of the Imperial City, had to strengthen the guard force around his father again. Several holy practitioners with excellent martial arts are almost inseparable from the influence of the Emperor Wu almost day and night to ensure that there is no mistake.

The send-off team of Sisi's "Great Duke of Sling" has long been on the road. Slin Dahan extended his self-respecting identity and Si Yanguo, and did not appear in the send-to-law team. Several of the leading figures on Sling are Aunt Wang, Princess Snow and her husband, General Bezki.

On the post road along the way, a team of imperial militiamen with heavy armor and bright knives and guns sang the majestic military songs that the Slin people had never heard before, passing through the road on the side of the send-off team, as if they were "meet" the send-off team on a journey, and there was no interruption from morning to night.

Aunt Snow and his wife have been thinking about this for a while. They have heard that Emperor Wu Dongye, a "stubborn and unruly" and "wind wandering" guy, is moody and arrogant. Isn't it intended to be any disadvantage to the family sending team?

It was not until later that the Slinsai riders who were sent everywhere to inquire about the news came back one after another to know that the imperial militiamen were mobilizing everywhere in Kanto and Mobei, and a team of militiamen marching on the post road. It was said that what "spring exercise training" was, and the couple were a little more worried.

They asked those men carefully what the militia they saw looked like.

As a result, Slinsey's description and answer surprised the Snow couple most that most of the imperial militias they saw seemed to wear all kinds of armor, knives, guns, shields, bows and arrows, and even carried firearms.

The heavy armor weighing 50 to 60 catties is undoubtedly the heaviest iron armor in the armor arsenal of the imperial army. It is time-consuming and expensive to build. Is the empire already so rich? Is it so extravagant that even irregular militias can send a set of armor?

When asked in detail, he got another completely different answer from those Slynsey, who had the task of spying on the news: all the regular legions of the empire, without exception, rarely equipped with heavy armor. Like a part of the "heavy armored knight" of the "Guardian" cavalry army, the original cavalry armor is only 32 catties. It is said that it is now trying a lighter felt armor with embedded mesh armor. Other light horses seem to be only light leather armor and felt armor; and the regular infantry legion of the empire is also leather armor. In the world of felt armor, there are even those wearing soft armor, as if they prefer to use light rattan cards and leather shields rather than put heavy armor on their bodies.

As for the militia equipment, the heavy armor is completely the previous inventory of the empire, and these heavy armor is only used for the march drill of the militia. In the empire, there is an iron rule for assessing militiamen, that is, a regiment of militiamen bear several heavy burdens. It is good that no one has fallen behind for more than 150 miles a day and night, and all the soldiers can be rewarded for their military achievements. Naturally, those militia commanders dare not neglect. This iron rule can't get through by temporarily playing tricks. It must rely on the skills honed at ordinary times. Therefore, at least half of the time the militiamen wear this kind of heavy armor, but there is not so much heavy armor. Often a set of heavy armor should be split into three or even four parts and matched with light armor. After all, the weight of armor is relatively balanced, which has little impact on the practice and action, which is convenient. The insufficient load is supplemented by tying iron sand bags and lead sand bags on the waist and legs. If outsiders don't notice, they often mistakenly think that all the militiamen of the Imperial militia have been equipped with heavy armor.

According to those militias, in fact, their militiamen are not willing to wear heavy armor to defend the city. If the enemy suddenly attacks the city, wears heavy armor all over his body, and moves slowly, isn't that stretching his neck to let the enemy cut? If the enemy attacks the city with a large number of artillery, although those artillery can't help but ram the solid wall of earth and brick, if the iron bullets really hit the city, not to mention the heavy armor, even if it is blocked by an iron leaf shield, it may not be possible to survive, and it is even more unnecessary to wear heavy armor. If you are not afraid of being bombarded, you should hide in the Tibetan cave early. When the enemy's artillery is sparse and listen to the order to go to the city, there is nothing wrong with it. One of the Slingers also said the news he had heard from several militiamen.

Aunt Snow and his wife looked at each other in consterance. They did not expect that the wolves who dominated Kanto were fighting horses with excellent weapons, and turned out to be a strong brigade dominated by light armor.

In fact, the Snow couple do not know that the wolf pack tends to attack far more than defense, so the tendency of light armor is relatively obvious in the whole wolf pack. Even the sixth brother An Ziran's "heavy armored knight" can charge for a long time without changing horses frequently, while hanging armor marching, running thousands of miles, long-distance detouring, the "heavy armor riding" will not fall behind the light horse at all.

But anyway, Aunt Snow and General Bezke learned that the militia on the post road had nothing to do with the send-off team. They were much relieved. They went all the way east and finally arrived at the western camp of the empire safely.

An Xiao, the fifteenth princess who stayed in the camp of the empire, had already ordered the young aunt to empty many houses in the camp to settle the princes and his own soldiers of the team to send Sisi's "Prince of Silin".

However, due to the large number of people in the family's family, the "Saixi Military Government" has also appointed some errespons. Near the camp, in addition to the houses of several fortresses belonging to the branches of the An family have been cleaned and ready to treat guests, Yi Chonglou has also found a lot of vacant houses outside the city of "Zhongshan" city. , and chartered many inns and post halls in Fucheng.

Not only that, from the "Wolf Capital" to "Zhongshan", the eighth princess An Yixue also built several camps and selected a number of sites that could temporarily build camp tents in case of resettlement personnel.

Eight Princess An Yixue thought again that it might be okay for them to eat mutton and beef, and they might not be used to eating pork. Therefore, with an order, she brought a lot of live sheep from Kanto to raise and kill, and slaughtered a lot of vegetable cattle and put them in the ice cellar to freeze it. Standby. In February and March, Kanto was already very cold. It was not frozen in the ice cellar. The beef of the big fan was put on the roof to blow the cold wind all night, and it could also freeze the frozen beef like ice. Of course, the royal family has its own royal family. It's enough to eat like this. It's obvious and casual to entertain guests, and it's more solemn to put it in the ice cellar.

Another is to search for the sheep raised on Mobei pasture and Mengjin grassland. Most of the grazing outside the plug are horses, cattle, sheep, camels, donkeys, etc. The quality of mutton is several times better than captive sheep. This time, it was also sold out by the empire.

As for the cattle, there is no need to reserve them in advance. There are many in the royal pastures in Mobei, and it is enough for the ninth princess An Xiaoyao to collect more.

Another is vegetables. At this time in the empire, there are not many kinds of vegetables. Carrots, cabbage, green radishes, carrots, carrots and white radishes are stored in the cellar. Bean sprouts can also be eaten from time to time. Leeks are also a stubble, but no one really regards these two flavors as vegetables, only a wild bean sprouts. Son and leek as a plate of vegetables, cut a large plate, and mix it with wine to taste fresh.

Four Princess An Xiaorao thought for a long time that the supply of vegetables, especially a few more vegetable varieties, turned out to be a problem, followed by the supply of fresh fruits. He simply moved to the "undergrocery bureau" Shifu Jin Shaying and summoned "bidding". As for how to solve this matter, let the merchants worry, and the imperial dynasty just waited for the goods to be paid.

The fourth princess An Xiaorao also ordered people to store a large amount of rock sugar, sugar and milk sugar for all kinds of sweets and stuffed dishes.

In terms of the arrangement of living and eating, it can be said that the empire has thought about the family-off team in the Principality, prepared in advance, and tried its best to achieve courtesy and benevolence.
