Chapter 1929: Not a Tang General Who Surrendered
The strong-minded tribesmen looked at the canvas-hung fence and felt at ease.
They had no such canvas, and even when the small sea ice melted, the best they could do was to travel in sheepskin rafts.
I still learned from the people on the other side of the Yellow River, spearing fish in the small sea.
Not to mention the soap-washed ‘clean’ hands and face coated with glycerin.
The children put glycerin on their faces and smiled brightly. Be careful not to rub the glycerin off when eating barbecue.
Their impression of the Tang Dynasty was vague, and they were yearning for the location of the Heavenly Soldiers that was about to arrive.
They just want to sleep in a warm place in winter so that their sheep and horses will not freeze to death.
I heard that in addition to the built houses, there are also cave dwellings to live in, but there are many sheep in the house. Yes, the rich ones can burn bricks and build brick houses.
Nowadays, the peppercorns and fennel are delicious, and you can drink milk tea as much as you want.
Emperor Fu looked at the children in the clan eating happily, then looked at the older people, and asked Jiang Gang: "What kind of house did we live in in the past?"
“For brick houses, Dongzhu Li asked the people living in cave dwellings to come out and build houses outside in flat areas where mudslides are less likely to occur.
Kilns were built everywhere, and the proprietor pointed out the location of the coal mines and sent people to instruct them on how to bake bricks and pottery.
The people dug coal together and sent it over, and then made the bricks and tiles for their own homes.
The skilled worker responsible for firing the kiln received additional bricks, tiles and coal as wages.
You went over to help make the bricks first, and the house was not given to you, but you paid for it through labor. "
Jiang Gang said that he should not be involved in matters, and Emperor Fu took the tribe to a place where officials would take over.
Boss Li once said that only by asking others to do work will they feel like family, not just passers-by.
Emperor Fu took a sip of his wine and said, "We have the strength to trade sheep with you for food. The silage we prepared was thrown away."
“You raise your own sheep to make cheese and exchange them for food, we have plenty of silage and hay.
You send people into formations to patrol together. If you encounter enemies, fight together and the fodder will be counted as your military pay.
You are a general, deputy envoy of Hexi Economic Strategy and military envoy of Chishui in the Bohai Dudu Mansion.
There are also military supplies provided, including quilts, mattresses, military coats, seven or eight pots, etc. "
Jiang Gang also took a sip of wine. After a light snowfall, there was no snow on the ground, and the cooling was real.
Emperor Fu was slightly startled: "Won't you accept our weapons?"
"It's not like you were demoted. We belong to our own people. Later, the Turks were forced to Xiaohai, and you strategically moved from there." Jiang Gang smiled.
The tribe led by Fu Dipu was different from other tribes. He had always been an official of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty was able to mobilize Guligan cadres, especially to reinforce Dashi City. Fu Dipu led the Guligan warriors to help.
Datang provided them with tea bricks, silk, and weapons.
It's similar to Sulu, but Sulu feels that his wings are stiffer.
Therefore, the things given to Tuqi were cancelled, regardless of Sulu's displeasure.
The telegram sent to Tubo along the way was received by me.
I'll take this opportunity to visit Sulu again, before winter.
Emperor Fu nodded twice: "Yes, I am a general of the Tang Dynasty."
He always believed that he did not belong to the Tang Dynasty, but only took things from the Tang Dynasty, did not fight with the Tang Dynasty, but worked for the Tang Dynasty.
There was nothing we could do this time. The Tang Dynasty had to deal with Tubo, and the Turks could not defeat the Tang Dynasty at all.
Either he would be with the Later Turks or he would seek refuge with the Tang Dynasty.
I collected my weapons when I got there to guard against sudden rebellion.
Who would have thought that Datang really regarded himself as a general of Datang, and things would be different after that.
You can make your own demands. If there are few arrows, you want more arrows.
With this in mind, he asked Jiang Gang tentatively: "We are short of arrows, ten thousand...five thousand?"
"The arrows are easy to talk about, don't worry, you are mainly targeting the post-Turks. I don't think they will come in winter, so you mainly follow the patrol together."
Jiang Gang had a smile in his eyes, I said I asked you to help fight, it was just an excuse.
Who do you hit? Later, the Turks will change places with you, and our people will be there to support you.
Will the Turks dare to send troops southward after winter? court death?
"Oh!" Emperor Fu remembered.
"If you like to go out and wander around, go to the northeast and north, where there are large coniferous forests.
There are many pine cones and wild animals there. You can bring them back to exchange for things to support your family.
We have arrows, and the Heavenly Soldiers are updating their equipment. The requirements for bows and arrows have been lowered, and the ones that have been eliminated will be given to you. "
Jiang Gang came up with an idea and expressed it first, and then sent a report to ask His Majesty if it was okay.
There are large tracts of red pine forests there, similar to those in Bohai Country, but no one goes to pick them.
The Xi clan should go there to collect this year, but they have limited manpower.
"It takes a lot of effort to eat the pine nuts, and it's troublesome to peel them. The pine nuts are sticky on your hands and it's difficult to peel them. They are burned together with the pine cones on the fire and then smashed."
Fu Dipu has no love for pine nuts. There are pine forests in Xiaohai, and he doesn't know how to deal with them later.
If you have time to eat, you might as well drag the pine branches home and use them on the fire.
"The proprietor has a way to make pine nuts open. You can eat them by picking them with your fingernails. They are very expensive in Chang'an."
Jiang Gang once again felt superior, coming from his instructor Li Yi.
Look, you have everything there, but you don’t know how to use it. You can’t even eat a pine nut.
"Two hundred pounds for a sheep?" Fu Dipu wanted to know how much it would cost. It was most convenient to use sheep to measure it.
"The sheep here? Five pounds for one."
Jiang Gang gave a ratio. There were few pine nuts and ordinary people could not eat them.
"We'll go to the place to rest for two days, and then go to look for pine nuts." Fu Difu felt that he had missed a lot.
"Chang'an sells pine nuts for five catties for a sheep, and you can get a sheep for thirty catties."
Jiang Gang said it in advance, and when the other party picked a bunch of them, if five catties can't be exchanged for a sheep, they will think he is cheating.
"Forty catties, we'll go pick them." Fu Difu took the initiative to make a profit, forty catties is fine.
How long does it take to raise a sheep, how long does it take to pick pine nuts, take the sled over, there are many pine cones on the trees, pull them back.
Don't peel them there, it's too tiring, bring them back for children and the elderly to peel.
Fu Difu thought that the pine nuts would fall off by themselves when they were ripe, and he was afraid of wasting them. He looked at his tribesmen and said, "Speed up the journey tomorrow, we won't rest, the grass can be used to pull the sled."
Fu Difu planned to bring the sled back directly if it snowed heavily, and use horses for transportation if it didn't snow.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Gang turned his head to find his telegraph. The other party agreed that he must report.
"Go!" Fu Di was thinking about exchanging pine nuts for money.
Jiang Gang moved to the side, opened the box of the telegraph, and started sending messages.
During the day, he would shake it to charge the battery and use it at any time.
With the sound of ticking, the message was sent.
The Tianbing Army got it first. Guan Yujin was not asleep and continued to memorize the telegraph digital code.
He received the message, translated it, forwarded it first, and then took the content to Zhang Jiazhen.
Zhang Jiazhen read it and said: "Let's go with it. The forest is big. The later Turks are not a threat. Greet the Xi and Khitan, and ask other tribes that surrendered later if they want to go?"
He wanted to send a large number of troops to pick pine nuts. It was a good thing that could be exchanged for money. It would be a pity to leave it there without picking it.
"I'll send a telegram to the owner." Guan Yujin sent another telegram. High-speed text hand-typed with the system to come to the Tang Dynasty chapter list
