The war in Siberia has ceased.
The war finally ended at the intersection of the Kama River and the Volga River, and Chechen Khan led his army to Kazan City to garrison.
Qi Jiguang scattered his troops on the south bank of the Kama River because the Siberian winter was coming again.
The battle was only halfway through, and the cold wind blew from the north to save the pursued Rakshasa army.
Moreover, Qi Jiguang really wanted to stop. Their front line was too long, and the vanguard troops had already reached Kazan, and their troops were stationed in the southeast of Ural Shandong.
He has been in this land for a long time and has experience. He knows that every autumn, he cannot predict how many troops he has under his command in the spring of next year, so he simply stops going to advance.
Frozen to death and starvation are all big problems.
The Ming people in Siberia were undoubtedly lonely. The Mongolian brothers who fought from the expedition saw that they did not fight, and rode their little horses and their partners into the forest to catch wild game, but the Ming people were so idle that they panicked.
According to convention, for the people of the Central Plains who love fighting but are not good at fighting, but are very good at war, this person, no matter where he lives, he has to grow some vegetables as long as he is idle.
This is called the food and grass before the troops move.
But it is difficult to grow vegetables in this ghost place.
But after all, where is there anything in this world that can hardly resist people's desire to grow vegetables?
Under Qi Jiguang's command, Zhu Yu commanded the command of the commander of the military juren, there was a thousand households named Mi Wanchun.
Mi Wanchun's father Mi Yu was the deputy preacher of Thousand Households. In the past, there were hundreds of households in the palace. The garrison of Goose Gray Pond was the place where Longqingye broke cucumbers and smelled the smell in winter.
Mr. Mi Yu is older and he will definitely not be able to fight. He is not on the front line in the war. He will plan logistics for the front line troops in the future and do some exploration and other things.
In summer, his people discovered coal mines in the mountains on the south bank of the Kama River. The reserves were huge and they couldn't find out how many minerals were there. Later, three acres of vegetable fields were opened on the south bank to grow cabbage.
Those idle people see him plant them and they plant them themselves. By the autumn, the vegetable fields here will be over 1,000 acres.
However, in autumn, they can't plant anything on their land, and even the things planted in the fields are frozen due to the severe cold.
It made Mr. Mi very angry.
It’s cold, and getting up is a problem. Mr. Liu Yong said, “This is called ‘Sometimes, and you’re still sleeping again when you get up.” It’s very normal to stay in bed in a cold day.
But corn and jade are not good. Not only does he not pay attention to the fact that the firewood in the stream is soft and the felt warm, and I and the slaves don’t go out, but he also wants to ask everyone to go out, report to Zhu Yu that 200 engineers are coming, and build a warm room on the spot.
The fire was burning on the frozen soil. The little mule cart transported the coal from the mountain one by one, burned bricks and built a house, put a mezzanine on the walls, and placed a kang at the bottom. After a long time, I finally lived in a greenhouse with leeks and bean sprouts.
Anyway, by the river, there is neither water nor coal.
Nothing can defeat his heart that wants to grow vegetables.
It was just that the group of engineers who worked with him had suffered. As soon as Qi Jiguang discovered the matter of building a greenhouse, he immediately prepared to promote the entire army.
Qi Jiguang first drew a line at the location of the mine veins on the map, then drew a line at the Kama River, and selected several places as settlements in the middle of the two lines. Then he selected troops to garage and began to build a greenhouse.
Qi Jiguang is not idle at this moment, he is busy printing books.
The court just sent him a book set in summer. It was the "Record of Killing the Tribulation" sent by Ma Gui of the Eastern Military Palace to the court, and it was Ma Gui's summary of the failure of the Ming army's first Eastern Expedition.
The book records in detail their climate, hydrology, terrain, environment, tribal conditions and survival experience in the former land of Nurkan, Wangxia Prefecture, Heishui Mohe Islands and Majiagang.
Although most of the texts cannot bring reference value to Qi Jiguang, after all, the spaces in which they live are different, the environment, hydrology, and terrain cannot be used as reference, the attitude of making joy in the book in pain made Qi Jiguang very much appreciate it.
For example, in "Zhan Jilu", Ma Gui believed that the word "cowardly as a mouse" is wrong. Because mice have holes, they are very brave. On the contrary, other animals without caves will run far away when they meet people.
The book even tries to teach soldiers participating in the Second Eastern Expedition how to find a pet that suits them on the way.
The most recommended thing is to go to the Jurchen deer tribe to adopt a deer. The kind with long hair, which can ride and help carry things. It is still warm when sleeping. The disadvantage is that it is not as obedient as a horse, and gets lost at any time.
Secondly, I raised two sled dogs from the old place of Nurkan. The ones that were big should not be small. The ones that were small should be running wildly, which was a bit stupid.
Besides, I would like to take out a wolf den in the old place of Nurgan and raise a wolf since I was a little fierce, but it is also very good. Wolves raised since I was a child will feel that their owner is an old wolf with two legs, a grasshopper on a rope, and a kick of two legs and a piece of the whole thing.
Ma Gui had a subordinate who raised a wolf, but later the man froze to death. The wolf was in a bad mood for the next few months. He didn't eat meat and his tail was covered with hair.
It is not recommended to raise birds, carvings, etc., it is useless. Hunting is not too busy and it is easy to expose the whereabouts of the troops.
Although there is a local bear soldier in Majiagang, he is also not recommended to raise bears. Although he is smart, he can wear a helmet, marching, bowing and kneeling, he can't drink too much. He can't even control himself by drinking, let alone the general.
After one year of age, he would not let others enter his barracks, and he would be anxious as soon as he entered.
In general, there are big problems in mentality. I can never assume the mission of being a flag army. I don’t think I am a glorious Daming Majiagang Flag Army. Instead, I think all other glorious Daming Majiagang Flag Army are a safe bipedal beast that will feed him.
In addition to these a little funny things, there is also a lot of useful knowledge for Qi Jiguang, such as how to prevent cold in winter, precautions for building a house, etc. These were copied and summarized by Qi Jiguang, and then set the standard in a way that is more suitable for this land and sent to the entire army.
Since the beginning of the Western Expedition, the problem facing Qi Jiguang has never been an enemy, but his own logistics. No place can afford it for his troops, which is so large that he can afford it.
They have walked out of the wilderness and returned to human society, but no small city here can afford to support ten thousand troops. Even if they go west, Qi Jiguang will not expect it.
The Ming army must solve more than half of the food problem on the spot, let the troops be full, and respond to the subsequent attack with a better mental outlook.
Anyway, time is on me, and even the Ottomans are transporting food for him. Sooner or later, they will have enough food and then pour into Moscow and Ukrainian grasslands like a flood that opens the gate.
What's more, it's not certain when the Ming army on the other side of the world will suddenly appear in front of him.
