When a passerby becomes a princess

Winter is the most difficult day in northern Xinjiang, with continuous heavy snow and biting cold wind. As long as the heavy snow season comes, it will be difficult to see people walking on the streets in all counties in northern Xinjiang, even if some shops are still open for business , only a small door was left, and a thick cloth curtain was hung.

The winter training of the raid battalion is scheduled for one month. The main purpose is to train the soldiers' adaptability in the heavy snow season and to test the performance of winter equipment.

In addition to the basic items such as leather hats and winter clothes, winter equipment also includes snowboards, detachable sleds, and invisible cloaks. Interestingly, among these items, except for the snowboards designed by Lin Qiu, almost everything else is made by the craftsmen below. The tailor came up with it.

After entering autumn, Lin Qiu thought about making winter fur hats for the soldiers of the raid battalion. He considered the kind of leather hat with two ears that appeared in the game, but that kind of fur hat couldn't stop the arrows at all. What should I do? In the case of keeping warm, it can still have a certain degree of defense, which has become the most important issue to consider. Fortunately, several cobblers thought of a solution.

With the expansion of demand, the leather goods workshop run by Lin Qiu now has more than 400 people, including more than 100 experienced cobblers. Several cobblers heard that the princess was worrying about the winter helmet, so they got together and came up with a new idea. A good way.

Referring to the methods of cotton armor, gauze clothing and ordinary leather armor, they compacted multiple layers of cowhide, added a mesh of fine copper wires to each layer, and then punched it into the shape of a helmet with a copper mold, and finally added fur inside. .This kind of helmet is not only warm and light, but also extremely strong. Not to mention that it cannot be pierced by arrows, even if it is chopped with an axe, it will take a long time to cut it open.

Lin Qiu was very surprised when he received this helmet. You must know that most people in Daliang Kingdom are content with the status quo, and few people have the spirit of pioneering and innovative. It is very rare for these cobblers to come up with such a good idea, so Lin Qiu Qiu immediately gave each of them a bonus of 50 taels of silver.

In fact, Lin Qiu didn't know that the waterwheel he designed at the beginning has now spawned hydraulic mills, hydraulic fishing, hydraulic pounding and so on; because he put all kinds of bird feathers, fluff, and silk into jewelry Now, full-time jewelry designers have appeared in several silver buildings in the capital, and all kinds of new jewelry are emerging one after another; because of the appearance of cashmere tapestries and shawls, there are now brocade tapestries and brocade shawls in the southern sericulture areas.

Human imagination is endless, and it only needs a small opportunity to continue to grow and develop.

Those cobblers who got the bonus went back and kept preaching that 50 taels of silver is enough for a family of ten for a year, and they can still live well.So all the craftsmen in Lin Qiu's subordinate workshops used their brains to design various practical or incredible things.

For example, the invisibility cloak, of course, does not make people invisible, but is made of white, light gray, or light brown wool. It is draped over the head and body in the snow, and it can be found within ten meters. no.

Interesting to say, the person who designed this cloak was none other than Mrs. Gu, the savage daughter-in-law of horse bandit Sun Mazi. Since Sun Mazi died trying to save her, she followed Liang Xi with the rest of the horse bandits back to Daliang country. After returning to her natal home, she did not remarry, but worked in Lin Qiu's carpet weaving workshop.

She was originally a young lady from a wealthy family. She also studied female reds when she was a child, and she also studied for several years.She hated beards to the core, knowing that the raid battalion needed winter equipment, she immediately thought of a gray and white hare in the snow that had just fallen, and it was harder to spot than a pure white one, so she did it. Out of the invisibility cloak, the front is pure white, and the back is gray and white, used to cope with different terrains.

Not only her, but also several carpenters have designed detachable sleds, as well as leg covers for horse legs, light dried vegetable cakes, ointments to prevent chilblains and cracks, etc., from food to use. And feet.

It can be said that from top to bottom, the raid battalion is really armed to the teeth, even a scarf is exquisite.However, the danger is not that if your defense is high, you can definitely avoid it.

This winter training is more of a trial than a training. In the words of the former horse bandit Zheng Huang, it is to take them to see the blood.

Don't look at the last time the bandits were suppressed, most of the soldiers experienced the taste of war, but that was just dealing with foreign enemies, and the cruelty of war, or cruelty is far from that simple.

Throughout the history of any world, civilians will always die the most in wars.Thinking about the modern history of China, whether it was the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces or Japan’s invasion of China, the number of civilian deaths is a terrifying number. If you think about the city where 30 civilians were massacred, you will know that wars are not just between armies. In combat, civilians can never be spared.

What Liang Xi is going to do this time, if the civil officials in the court know, it must be a big storm, because he is going to massacre the civilians. To put it clearly, he will massacre and plunder the civilians of the Hu country.

If it was Liang Xi in the past, he definitely would not have done this, but his fighting consciousness was actually inspired on the grassland, and it was established for him by the horse bandits who hated the beard deeply, so in his conception, it is different from the horse bandits. Similarly, a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, since beards do not treat them as humans, they also treat beards as animals, and slaughtering animals will not feel uneasy at all.

However, most of the soldiers in the raid battalion were just ordinary people a year ago. They were quite calm when they suppressed the bandits, but when they sneaked out and chose a bearded tribe closest to the border of northern Xinjiang to massacre, Their knives couldn't cut it down.

When they killed all the bearded men who resisted, only the old people, women, and children were left screaming and crying and running around. The soldiers of the raid battalion hesitated, especially some women or old people held their children and approached them. When they begged bitterly, they couldn't help but began to sympathize with them in their hearts. They didn't kill those beards, and some soldiers even turned a blind eye to the beards that were hiding.

Liang Xi stood outside the tribal camp. Beside him stood Chen Fan, Song Fu and three instructors. Behind him were more than 400 ex-horse bandits. None of these people went to fight, only the recruits were allowed to go.

As the fighting in the tribe decreased, the cries became louder, and the former horse bandit Zhang Shu frowned, saying: "These recruits really can't do anything."

Zheng Huang next to him curled his lips and said, "They're all soft melon dolls, and their beards are all animals from old to young, so they should all be killed." The former horse bandits behind him nodded approvingly.

The archery instructor Zeng Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at a corner of the tribe, and said, "Soon they will reap their own consequences."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen burly bearded men rushed out from that corner. They were hiding under the protection of women and children just now. Seeing that the soldiers outside had given up their murderous aura, they took an opportunity to rush out The sneak attack immediately cut and wounded several soldiers of the raid battalion.

One of the bearded men yelled a few words, and the panicked women and old people suddenly pulled out their hidden weapons and slashed and killed the soldiers of the raid battalion around them. The bloodthirsty and fierceness in their eyes made all the soldiers Feeling terrified, they were confused by these old men and women for a while. Fortunately, after nearly a year of training, they quickly calmed down and finally killed all the beards in this tribe.

Looking at the blood-stained and dejected soldiers, Liang Xi turned cold for the first time, looked at them coldly, and said: "In the beginning, you were not willing to kill those old people and women, maybe you would blame me in your heart Cruel and inhuman."

The soldiers glanced at each other, but they didn't speak. They really blamed the prince in their hearts at first.

"But have you ever thought about it?" Liang Xi said, looking at the bearded corpses on the ground, "these bearded children will grow up one day, and one day they will ride horses, pick up butcher knives, and plunder and slaughter The people of Daliang State will kill your parents and brothers. These bearded women, they herd and raise sheep, provide food and war horses for Beard, and they will give birth to more beards to bring disaster to our Daliang State. As for these old people, How many of them have never plundered Daliang? How many have not killed the people of Daliang? You don’t kill them to avenge your revenge, do you still want them to live forever?!”

The soldiers looked at each other with expressions of remorse.In this raid, at the beginning of the battle with those men who resisted, less than ten people were killed or injured in the raid battalion, but later on, more than [-] soldiers were killed by those old men and women, and many more were injured. The incredible shame and humiliation all stemmed from their soft-heartedness towards the enemy.

"Leave your kindness to the people of Daliang, to your parents and brothers, don't leave your kindness to these beasts who are not as good as pigs and dogs! Even if someone points at your nose and calls you cruel, But you have done the right thing by guarding your family and the people of Daliang Kingdom." As Liang Xi spoke, he remembered what he had seen and heard on the grassland, and remembered the few people who were killed. They rescued the slaves who later died in the hands of the beards, and remembered their expectations for future life when they had just arrived at the horse bandit village. Unfortunately, their expectations disappeared with their lives.

"Yes!" The soldiers of the raid battalion stood up straight and shouted loudly.Their hearts were no longer restless, and their eyes began to become determined.

At this time, Chen Fan, who joined the army, came out and said: "The bodies of seriously wounded soldiers and dead soldiers need to be transported back, so let the subordinates do this."

Liang Xi glanced at him and nodded.They had just been out for less than ten days, and it was not appropriate to take the seriously injured for the rest of the way, and it would be better to transport the dead bodies back as much as possible.

The raid battalion continued to advance towards the grassland. Chen Fan took a dozen or so lightly injured soldiers and transported the seriously wounded and dead bodies back.

Originally, Chen Fan only needed to transport the corpses back to the camp of the raid camp, and naturally someone was responsible for the aftermath, but when he saw that some of them were villagers from Beimo County, he suddenly remembered the person who temporarily lived in the Beimo County Government Office. So he took the initiative to ask for the bodies of those soldiers to be transported back to Beimo County.
