Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 6 Mongolian March Supply Method

Zhang Yong thinks that the best way to deal with the things in his mobile phone is to find an opportunity to copy them all and record them on paper.

After all, although solar panels can be recharged, the shelf life of solar panels is only three to four years. No matter how much you maintain them, this time will never exceed ten years.

Therefore, all the e-books inside must be copied while the mobile phone can still replenish its power supply.

But I only have a gel pen in my car, but no notebooks or anything like that, so I have to find some good paper.

Through the car window, Zhang Yong saw Qiu Chuji, his disciples, and some Mongolian soldiers who had woken up long ago and were cooking something in the distance.

There were dozens of goats grazing nearby, making bleating sounds, and a few herdsmen without armor were driving the goats forward.

I didn’t seem to see these herdsmen and sheep yesterday. Did they come here this morning?

"Mr. Zhang! Get up. Here is the milk tea we just made, and some high-quality beef jerky. You can eat some." As soon as Zhang Yong got off the car, Liu Zhonglu took a bowl of cooked milk tea and left with some beef jerky. Come over.

"Thank you, General Liu." Zhang Yong was polite and reached out to take the hot milk tea and beef jerky.

Zhang Yong took a sip of milk tea. It was so good and so salty!Very salty.

This taste is completely different from the sweet milk tea I drank in the milk tea shop before traveling through time.

The taste is similar to the milk tea that my father took me to some Kazakh herdsmen's homes to drink when I was a child.

Fortunately, I once drank this kind of milk tea when I was a child, otherwise, ordinary modern people would really not be able to drink it.

Then he picked up the dark beef jerky and took a bite. It felt so hard that he almost broke his front teeth.

The beef jerky of this era doesn't have much flavor, it's just a little salty and beefy, and it's basically not much different from chewing on a stick.

In order to facilitate storage, they are basically dried to be extremely hard. They are weapons in the hand and food in the mouth.

"Mr. Zhang, you have to grab the milk tea and drink it, otherwise you will choke." Liu Zhonglu said with a smile.

Master Qiu and several of his disciples had exactly the same expression when they just ate this stuff.

Changchun Master and a group of his disciples have been on the road with him and others for more than a year. At the beginning, they could still eat some bread and vegetables, but after entering the deserted prairie, these things were no longer available.

"Thank you, General, for reminding me. I understand." Zhang Yong nodded and soaked the hard beef jerky in his hand into milk tea.

"Mr. Zhang, you need to get familiar with the food here. We are probably several months away from the Khan's military tent. From now on, we will have milk tea and beef jerky in the morning during the day.

At night, I will kill two sheep to satisfy my hunger. Apart from this, there is no other food. I hope you will bear with me as I don’t have any dry food from the Central Plains. " Seeing Zhang Yong struggling to eat beef jerky, Liu Zhonglu said.

There is not much food that can be preserved on this desolate prairie. The best things to preserve are these dried milk teas and dried meat.

We couldn't bring some bread and other things with us as they would get moldy on the road, so we could only eat these. "I didn't see these herdsmen yesterday. Are they from nearby?" Zhang Yong asked as he ate the soaked beef jerky.

After soaking it, the taste is indeed much more comfortable, and it doesn’t taste so cumbersome to eat.

"No! Since the Great Khan's Western Expedition, the place he has traveled can be said to be thousands of miles away! This place used to belong to the territory of Xiliao. After the destruction of Xiliao, it became the territory of the Great Mongolia.

These herdsmen were prepared by the Great Khan in advance nearby. Before the Mongolian army marched, they would send out men and horses to scout nearby to find suitable grasslands and pastures.

Then the army brought a large number of livestock, grazing all the way and marching, wherever they went, they ate wherever they went.

These two herdsmen followed us into the grassland six months ago. At that time, we drove hundreds of sheep. After walking for more than half a year, we only had a few dozen sheep left to eat. Liu Zhonglu said.

This is the difference between the Mongolian army and the Han army. The Mongolian army is the only team that can maintain combat effectiveness and march without logistical supplies.

Before marching, Mongolia will send a small number of cavalry troops to scout nearby areas to find suitable grassland, and they will march and graze along the way.

The two herdsmen following them were prepared in advance by the Mongolian Station on the orders of Genghis Khan. When they arrived in Khwarezm, Genghis Khan also prepared new herdsmen and a large number of livestock to follow his team.

All right!Before traveling through time, there were many comments on the Internet about the reason why the Mongolian army did not need any supplies.

This is because wherever they hit, they grabbed supplies directly on the spot. The Mongolian army would indeed plunder a large number of civilians along the way, but if they fought outside for five or six years.

When you reach that uninhabited place and need to march continuously for a month or two, but there are no people around, then the problem cannot be solved by looting.

Logistics supply is based on this method of grazing, so the Mongolian army relies heavily on large pasture resources.

"Mr. Zhang, we will set off soon. Will you follow us with your mount, or will you ride with us?" Liu Zhonglu asked.

"If possible, please also ask General Liu to prepare three Mongolian horses and let them pull the cart for me. My cart can indeed run on its own, but the things it needs cannot be supplied. When we get to the Khan's military camp, I still want to The Great Khan wants to experience this steel mount himself, so he cannot touch it for the time being." Zhang Yong said.

The horse is not his own anyway.And there are a lot of horses in Mongolia, so just use the horses to pull my car and run!
I sit in the cab and just control the steering wheel. Even if I get stuck in some mud pit, there are dozens of war horses outside!You can also pull it out for yourself.

I don’t have anywhere to refill gasoline at the moment, so I’ll save some if I can. It’s probably several months away from where Genghis Khan is now!

Yesterday, when Zhang Yong was looking through the study materials, he found a local method of refining gasoline. It requires some distillation equipment to refine some gasoline that is not too pure.

The place where Genghis Khan went on his western expedition is in Iran and Afghanistan. It is not easy to find oil in these two places.

"Uh! What do you mean, sir, is this big guy equivalent to a carriage?" Liu Zhonglu asked.

"Yes, it can also be used as a carriage." I hung up the traction rope and threw it on the horse. Isn't it just a carriage?
"Okay! I understand. Let's prepare a few horses for Mr. Liu Zhonglu said.
