Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 369 Measuring Altitude

The recruiters are currently unable to verify her identity.

Because of the war, many people have fled, their families have been broken up, and they are displaced. Where can we find people to investigate?

All that can be done is to register the information she said and the identity information of the guarantor, and then test her skills such as riding and archery.

Li Xinyan's skills are beyond doubt, far surpassing those of ordinary soldiers, and she was smoothly accepted into the recruit camp.

Because there were few female soldiers recruited in the castle, Lin Qiaomei had already sent people to keep an eye on them.

So, as soon as Li Xinyan joined the army, she was taken to Lin Qiaomei's long-range attack camp.

Xi Niang circled around Li Xinyan twice, staring at her up and down.

Li Xinyan felt like she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and all the hairs on her body stood up.

Xi Niang reached out and took a bow from a soldier and handed it forward.

"Go, shoot a few arrows for me to see."

Li Xinyan took the bow, tested its strength, and found it a bit hard.

"General, do you have a bow that's a little softer?"

Xi Niang waved her hand and said, "If you can shoot, then shoot. If you can't, try your swordsmanship twice."

Li Xinyan borrowed a steel knife and practiced her knife skills in the yard.

Xi Niang couldn't tell what kind of swordsmanship that was, but she thought it was okay. At least Li Xinyan's body was more coordinated, as if she had practiced martial arts diligently.

Lin Qiaomei just came back from outside and stood aside watching curiously.

After Li Xinyan finished showing off her sword skills, she was calm and composed, standing there with the demeanor of a master.

Lin Qiaomei came over with a smile on her face.

She has a petite figure and found that although Li Xinyan is taller than her, she is also a petite and delicate woman.

He reached out and wiped the dust off Li Xinyan's face.

"Hey, so white, where are you from?"

Li Xinyan shouted, "General, my family is from Weiyuan."

"Is your family rich?"

"Yes, my family used to be very rich, General."

Lin Qiaomei nodded. A family without money could not raise a girl like this.

"Can you shoot archery?"

Li Xinyan paused and said, "General, I'm not a good archer."

Lin Qiaomei smiled and said, "It's okay, just practice. We are a long-range attack battalion, and we can't do without archery."

Xi Niang interrupted at this time: "What else can you do?"

"Report to the general, I will still march with my rifle."

"Haha, not bad. Do you know how to read?"

"Yes, General, I attended a private school for a few years."

Lin Qiaomei and Xi Niang looked at each other and praised in their hearts, what a talented person.

There are too few female soldiers like this.

Lin Qiaomei immediately waved her hand: "Okay, Li Yan, right? You will stay with me from now on and be my guard first."

"Thank you, General!"

Li Xinyan stood at attention and agreed loudly.

It seemed that her entry into the Qingshui Army was simple and smooth, but in fact, Li Xinyan did a lot of work in the early stage and made things go smoothly.

This girl is very concerned about her lifelong affairs.

At this time, Lin Feng had already brought his men to the territory of Western Xia and was moving forward.

In just an hour, they saw a vast expanse of water ahead.

Hongqing Lake is so big that you can't see the end of it at a glance.

Lin Feng came to the lake and looked around with his telescope.

It's a really nice place with few people and lush vegetation.

It’s a pity that it is within the territory of Western Xia. Otherwise, a city could be built here, which would be very suitable for human habitation.

If it weren't for the agreement he had just signed with Xixia Yinzhou, Lin Feng really wanted to raise an army and encircle this piece of land and incorporate it into Zhenxi.

Next, Lin Feng asked the craftsmen who came with him to start measuring the terrain. The engineers scattered and drew the topography based on the actual situation.

Needless to say, the route of the canal is the straightest one closest to the west of the town.

It's all wild land, so there's no need for relocation or encroachment on farmland.

Lin Feng’s only problem was how to measure the altitude.

The canal must be high at one end and low at the other, starting from the highest point and gradually descending.

If the height measurement is inaccurate, the water will not be able to flow through.

Wouldn't that be a joke?

Lin Feng brought two water conservancy experts with him, and they both shook their heads at the idea of ​​measuring the height from such a long distance.

They are called water conservancy experts, and they are actually foremen who specialize in building canals and modifying river courses for the government.

It's okay for short distances, but as for the distance from Hongqing Lake to the west of the town, which is three or four hundred miles, they were also confused.

Lin Feng was also confused about how to measure altitude.

I just wanted to improve the irrigation conditions in the west of the town, but I didn't expect that there would be so many technical problems in the specific construction.

It's definitely too late to find an expert now.

This time, Lin Feng decided to first determine the location for digging the canal and draw a map of the topography.

After returning, we found a way to calculate the height, and then mobilized a large number of people to start working.

Lin Feng certainly cannot follow up on the entire construction process.

I have a lot of things to do, so I just need to set the major policies and leave the rest to the specific people in charge to implement.

Lin Feng took these craftsmen and conducted field surveys by the lake for two days.

Do all the measuring and drawing work.

Then he led his men along the predetermined canal route, drawing a map all the way back to the west of the town.

After returning to Lingdouzi Castle, the craftsmen who followed him to conduct the on-site survey were very excited when they went, but were listless when they came back.

They felt that by digging a canal in this way, even though the terrain along the way was not very complicated.

However, the distance is too far, the project is huge, and the measurement difficulty cannot be solved.

Lin Feng had no time to discuss the feasibility of the project with them.

He was stopped by a table full of official newspapers.

Bai Jing was already frowning.

There were so many things, and although she had tried very hard to share them, there were still many things that she couldn't make a decision on.

Lin Feng carefully read through the various reports compiled by Bai Jing overnight.

During this period, the Tatar headquarters was very honest and there were no unusual movements.

Mainly in the provincial capital, after the defeat of Su Qian and Shen Zhongying's Black Turban Army, they retreated to the provincial capital camp.

On the surface, the situation was very calm and there were no more troop movements.

Many issues were handled by officials such as Wen Cheng, and were only reported to Lin Feng for review.

Lin Feng reads very quickly and can judge the result of a report with just one glance.

After reading through dozens of reports one by one, he casually placed them on the side of the desk.

It took more than a quarter of an hour to finish reading the entire report in my hand.

Then he leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Jing hurried forward to massage his shoulders and neck and asked softly.

"Brother, have you seen it all so soon?"

"I've checked it out, there's no problem. Wen Cheng and the others are very mature and basically handle official business according to my wishes."

Bai Jing said doubtfully: "But why do I feel that things have been too peaceful recently?"

"Well, the Tartars are frightened by our defeat and may be trying to figure out a way out."

"The Black Scarf Army has also become obedient."

Lin Feng frowned: "These black scarf soldiers are very strange. I don't know how they were bewitched and are not afraid of death anymore."

Bai Jing smiled and said, "Just like what brother said, they might be believing in something."

"Well, this leader is quite powerful. He can actually make ordinary people not afraid of death. What kind of brainwashing process must he have gone through?"

The word "pyramid scheme" appeared in Lin Feng's mind.

"Brother, the Black Scarf Society has existed for many years. The imperial court has been unable to eradicate it despite repeated crackdowns."

Lin Feng closed his eyes and enjoyed Bai Jing's tenderness.

"The Black Scarf Society, is it the organization that used the name of the Virgin Mary and quietly spread among the people?"

"That should be it."

Suddenly, Lin Feng had an idea. He had just seen a report.

It was reported by the city patrol.

Lin Feng immediately picked out the report from a pile of reports and looked at it carefully.
