Chapter 0207 How to solve the problem of military logistics?

After the army was organized, Ye Qing didn't know whether it was in reality, so he could only use it first, and then modify it if it was not suitable.

However, no matter how unrealistic it is, at least after the establishment, it is much better than the messy rush of the past.

After a period of training, Ye Qing can feel at ease to let his tribe members go to the battlefield.

Ye Qing asked the clan leader how the battle was fought when he went to the battlefield.

The result you get is that there is no result.

The patriarch said:

"How to fight?"

"How else can you fight the war?"

"After seeing the barbarians, a nest of wind rushes upwards."

Ye Qing: “…”

...

While training the army, he has never given up a job. In fact, he has been preparing for this job since last year.

That is...Shipbuilding.

He has been thinking about the boat for a long time.

The traffic conditions in this era are too bad.

When it comes to war, Ye Qing would not follow the local customs and could not follow the conventional practices of this era.

War is a major event that concerns human life, and one's own tribe is very precious.

As a time traveler, you can't do such a thing as a time traveler.

Therefore, he had to prepare sufficient logistics supplies for his tribe members.

The bulk of the supply is food.

There are also arrows, backup weapons that need to be replaced, as well as tents, cooking utensils, bedding, etc.

In this way, transportation is a huge problem. There are so many things that it is impossible for the soldiers to carry them one by one.

I can't recite it anymore.

It is impossible to carry the food that every soldier eats.

Each soldier calculated by eating two kilograms of food every day. The whole war, from departure to return, was counted in four months, and the food he carried was 280 kilograms.

How to memorize this?

Although it is feasible to use a cow to carry it, it is also very precious. When you go to the battlefield and bring a cow, isn’t that a delivery of food?

Training cattle cavalry?

This is not bad either.

However, it's not possible now.

There are too many places for the tribe to need cattle, and the cavalry is too luxurious.

With a ready-made transportation shortcut, Ye Qing naturally would not foolishly use cattle for transportation.

This shortcut is Water Net.

This era is full of water and densely packed with water networks.

From the location of the tribe to the vicinity of the battlefield, the water network is actually connected.

People in this era cannot take advantage of such shortcuts. The key is that they lack technical skills and cannot create vehicles that can be smooth in various waters.

Canoes and bamboo rafts can be made by people from all tribes and can be made by them.

However, the carrying capacity of canoes and bamboo rafts is very problematic, and it is also very unsafe in lakes and rivers with relatively large waves.

A slightly larger storm can overturn the canoe.

A canoe is just a hollowed-out wood floating in the water. Where can you resist wind and waves?

The bamboo raft leaked, and its load was not as heavy as a canoe.

Ye Qing is different, he has the skills.

Although the shipbuilding project is relatively large, it is not impossible to build, and it is just a little more difficult for him.

Ye Qing has been hoarding the main material of shipbuilding. After the hydraulic sawmill, the storage of wooden boards has increased significantly, so the number of wooden boards used for shipbuilding is sufficient.

Another important material, tung oil, was also prepared last year.

Although the tung oil was not very sufficient, Ye Qing calculated that it was enough to build a batch of ships that transported military logistics supplies this time.

Another important material is ship nails.

The number of nails required to build a ship is also quite large.

The ship nails and copper smelting workshops have been made intermittently since last year, and have produced enough quantity now.

Other materials, hemp, lime, fish maw glue and other materials are not a problem.

Then, start building a ship!

When building a ship, it is naturally impossible to build a big ship at the beginning.

Although he had a golden finger, Ye Qing had never built a ship, so he could only start with the small boat.

The first ship he designed was 7 meters long and 1.5 meters wide.

He has tried to reduce the size as much as possible.

It can't be smaller.

No matter how small it is, it cannot load the supplies that need to be transported this time.

His plan is to carry 10 people on a boat, and the materials transported at least 3,000 kilograms, so that 30 boats can transport soldiers and materials in one go.

save trouble!

The boatman, let the soldiers be the ones.

Anyway, in this era, there is no possibility of water war. The soldiers on the boat do not need to fight at all. They are idle, so row the boat!

It is also an advantage to let the soldiers row to the battlefield.

The advantage is that along the way, you can continue to train and train the soldiers' coordination abilities.

Time will be very tight when walking to the battlefield, but time will be plenty for Dragon Armored Soldiers with ships.

No matter how unskilled you are, you are much faster than walking. Even if you walk as fast as you walk, there are no obstacles on the waterway, which will save several times the time.

If you walk to the battlefield, you will take a month, rowing, four or five days.

The boating speed is 10 kilometers per hour and travels for 10 hours a day. This is 100 kilometers, and five days are 500 kilometers.

Jiangbei, is it that far away?

According to the clan leader's description, Ye Qing estimated that the tribe was 100 kilometers away from the battlefield and the straight line distance was 100 kilometers, and even if the curve distance was twice as many, it was only 200 to 300 kilometers.

So, time is enough.

He also wanted to add sails, as sails can save effort and speed up.

But no one knows how to operate it!

Caofan, but it is impossible to teach, and it is impossible to teach.

Therefore, Ye Qing did not add something like sails that require complex control technology.

This is already a means of transportation beyond the times.

It is too harsh and there is no need to do so, so it is better to be safe.

If you install a sail, your sailing skills are not strong. There is a risk of overturning in the big lakes and rivers with big waves.

With the workers in the wooden workshop, Ye Qing started building a ship.

He built ships directly at the wooden workshop.

He didn't make a dock or something. Such a dock is not used. After the ship is built, dozens of tribesmen can get into the water by carrying it, and there is no need for a dock.

Stick up the keel, install the ribs, and lay the boat boards...

Dangdangdang...

Preliminary work is completed.

The next work is the focus.

When a boat is traveling in the water, the most important thing is to prevent leakage.

It is impossible to prevent leakage by simply putting together the wooden boards.

He mixed lime, tung oil and hemp fiber together and blended into a semi-dry paste.

Then use a flat tool to knock the paste into the gaps in the shipboard.

This paste will be very hard after drying, and can be closely combined with the shipboard to prevent leakage.

This work requires meticulousness and patience. Even if Ye Qing has the presence of golden fingers, a boat still spends a whole day.

Fortunately, the workers at the Wood Workshop are all young people with relatively flexible brains. They have been training and learning for nearly a year in the Wood Workshop, so they can also get started with such work.

Therefore, after Ye Qing demonstrated the creation of a boat, he asked the workers of the wooden workshop to continue to complete the leak prevention work of the other 29 boats.

The leak prevention work is completed, and the rest is brushing tung oil.

This is simple.

It just needs to be brushed several times.

In this way, it took two months to complete the production of 30 ships before the Dragon Armored Soldiers set off.
Chapter completed!
