Chapter 444 Keep Going Around

Go to Xingji City to learn medical skills from imperial physicians?

This is a great thing.

All the military doctors couldn't help but be moved.

However, they raised their eyes and quickly calmed down.

Although Huo Ling used a questioning tone, his eyes looked at Mrs. Zhang below with a smile.

So the other military doctors closed their mouths in unison.

Mrs. Zhang wiped off her sweat, "I shouldn't have refused the general's order."

"But..." She hesitated, "It's not appropriate."

The so-called granary is real, but one knows etiquette, and one knows honor and disgrace when there is enough food and clothing.

Living in the war-torn frontier, survival is the most important thing, and any other men who are superior to women can take a step back.

When necessary, both men and women must take up arms and rush to the front line, just to survive.

And in places like Xingji City or even the Tai Hospital, even if women clamor that women can hold up half the sky, they can no longer show their faces unscrupulously like Dingxi County.

Therefore, it may not be suitable for Mrs. Zhang to go there.

"Don't worry." Huo Ling smiled and shook his head, "It's very suitable for you to go."

He can go to the Duke's Mansion to visit Princess Yiguang and other family members who have not seen him for a long time, and he can also go to the palace to visit Concubine Qing.

When the others heard it, they immediately understood.

Mrs. Zhang also reacted, and immediately lowered her hand and said: "Then I will prepare when I go back, and I can leave at any time."

Huo Ling nodded in satisfaction, stayed in the military medical camp for a while, and then got up to leave.

"General, this is the direction to return to the General's Mansion."

Huo Ling glared at the little guard who was talking, "It's still early, I'm going to walk around again."

After speaking, he walked forward again.

bang bang bang.Jingle.

All kinds of knocking sounds can be heard endlessly.

Unknowingly, the group has transferred to the construction camp.

Even though the autumn mood was strong, Tie Tiangong was still bare-chested, busy on the big wooden plank with a clatter.

When the little apprentice came back from fetching water, he happened to see Huo Ling standing next to his master, and couldn't help being startled.

However, Huo Ling saw that Tie Tiangong was still busy, so he stood quietly by the side without making a sound.

"Master, Master?"

"Master, what kind of father?" Tie Tiangong didn't look up, and cursed angrily: "If you have something to say, say something and put it away. I didn't see that I was busy."

He was originally a blacksmith.

However, since the earthquake in Qingshi County a few years ago destroyed the mines and the roads out of the county, Yunchui's iron ore production began to decrease significantly, and the amount transported to the Yanfeng Fortress was even less.

As the saying goes, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

With no iron in the fortress, blacksmiths can only repair damaged weapons or plows.

Even Tie Tiangong occasionally has some novel ideas, so he can only draw the design on paper first.

As for now, he has become a carpenter.

Perhaps it can be said that most of the blacksmiths in the fortification camp of the entire fortress have become carpenters.

During the Dingxi counterattack, the casualties of the three armies of the fortress, the Yingling Army and the Dingxi garrison were too large.Not only small soldiers but also generals at all levels, and many were killed in battle.

The stock of coffins in the fortress has been used up.

In order to let those generals who died in battle get their due treatment as soon as possible, they had to build coffins day and night.

cough.

After being sprayed by Tie Tiangong, the little apprentice coughed in embarrassment.

He couldn't help reminding, "Master, the general is here, right behind you."

"Just tell me when you're tired, it's not that you won't be allowed to rest." Tie Tiangong yelled, "Just a few days after the war, the general is the busiest at this time. How could he have time to come to our construction camp?"

"If you talk nonsense again, I will beat you carefully."

Having said that, Tie Tiangong still looked back.

Seeing this, the old blacksmith almost doubted his eyes, and stood up quickly after regaining consciousness.

"Hello, General! My subordinates don't know the general..."

"It's okay!" Huo Ling still recognized Tie Tiangong because he built the telescope.

He waved his hands in a friendly manner, "Don't bother with me, you continue to do your work."

After finishing speaking, Huo Ling didn't shy away from it, and directly picked up the coffin boards that had been planed on the ground next to him, looked them over and over carefully, and then knocked on them.

"The workmanship is good, and the coffin is very beautifully repaired...By the way, how long can the old wood stored in the fortress last?"

Tie Tiangong stood with his hands down.

"Back to the general, there are not many old logs in the fortress, and it is estimated that they will be used up in two or three days."

"However, the brothers have rushed to Luoxia Mountain in batches earlier, and they must be able to harvest enough wood and send it back soon."

Speaking of this, the old blacksmith's eyes darkened.

It is not easy to get a coffin with a good stoma.

The most important of these is wood.

After the wood is felled, it is best to let it cool in the sun for a period of time, and then soak it in water or mud for several years.After the coffin made in this way is oiled, even if it is buried in the soil, it can resist corrosion and insects for a long time.

But now that the coffin is urgently needed, it can only be done expediently.

I hope that when the souls are sent back to their hometowns four years later, the remains of those generals who have rushed into the soil can be roughly preserved.

Huo Ling saw it, and patted Tie Tiangong's shoulder wordlessly, "Thank you."

"It doesn't matter." Tie Tiangong shook his head, "In order to let the sacrificed brothers go to the ground as soon as possible, the suffering of this subordinate is nothing."

Holling nodded.

He pondered for a while.

"Let's see. The new wood is too heavy, and it's troublesome to transport it back and forth. The carpenters should just bring their tools and go to Luoxia Mountain."

Just wait until the coffin is repaired and then transported back.

"Yes!" The carpenters responded one after another, and immediately turned back to prepare.

"Wait, blacksmiths."

Huo Ling called to stop Tie Tiangong and the others.

His eyes fell on the rough hands of the blacksmiths.

"You are all the best blacksmiths in the fortress. It's just that the fortress has been short of iron in the past few years, and I have wronged everyone. I will apologize to everyone here."

"It doesn't matter." The blacksmiths were startled and quickly waved their hands, "This is what God wants, and it has nothing to do with the general."

An earthquake occurred in Qingshi County, not only the mines but also the post roads out of the county were destroyed in sevens and eights.

There is a lack of iron in Yunchui, including the fortress, which is helpless.

Holling was noncommittal.He looked up to the east.

"Ben has recently received news that the buried mine in Qingshi County has been repaired and reopened, and some ore has even been mined. At the same time, after more than a year of construction, the north-south post road in Miwu County has been generally passable. I believe It won’t be long before iron ore will be continuously shipped out for smelting.”

"At that time, I will definitely apply for pig iron from the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible, so that the building camp will become popular again."

But at this time, the blacksmiths still have to help build some coffins first.

All the blacksmiths cheered up, they still cared about this, and they all replied loudly: "Understood."

"General," someone said anxiously, "Many soldiers' weapons and armor and the stirrups of their horses are due for repair. The pig iron must be brought here as soon as possible."

"Let's not talk about weapons, it's time to change the plows of the people outside the city."

Huo Ling nodded and took notes one by one.

After a while, they left the camp.

The little guard next to Huo Ling was a little at a loss.

He lowered his voice, "General, you came to the training camp just to say these few words?"

This kind of trifle can completely let the guards or other people come and talk about it.

The dignified general defending the fortress does not need to make a trip in person.

Huo Ling shook his head, but did not explain the reason.

"Come on, let's continue shopping."
