At the end of May, the weather is hot, and the dog knows to find a shady place to lie down.

Before Yan Chengjin went out, he changed into a light gauze coat and wore regular clothes outside, so as not to suffer from heat stroke.

"Get out of the way!"

Da~

There was a rush of horses' hooves, from far and near, and it was obvious that it could be felt passing by the sedan chair, and the sedan chair shook lightly a few times.

Yan Chengjin opened the sedan curtain, and a sergeant rode away on a black horse in a flash.

"In such a hurry, is it Yansui's urgent report?"

Immediately instructed the sedan chair man to hurry up, and after arriving at the noon gate, he hurried into the palace.

Outside the noon gate, the sergeant who delivered the booklet stumbled off his horse and handed the booklet to the guard guarding the palace gate, "The urgent performance sent back by the Duke of Baoguo!" ”

The stations in the northwest relayed, day and night, just to send this letter to the capital as soon as possible.

The forbidden army quickly ran towards the palace and handed it over to Du Kuan, a thousand households of Jinwuwei, who was on duty today.

Du Kuan opened the booklet and was a little surprised: "If you really let Your Highness say it, where is Your Majesty at the moment?" ”

"It should be in Kunning Palace, at this moment, I am having breakfast with my mother." The Janissary on the side.

It depends on whether it is a joy or a mourning.

No one likes to send mourning, and it gets into trouble.

Your Majesty saw this sparse performance, maybe it would implicate others, whether to send this sparse performance, Du Kuan suddenly hesitated.

"To Commander Mu, just say that it is a sparse performance that has just come back."

Du Kuan gave his subordinates a look, and the man willingly sent it to Mu Bin.

The palace guards and Jinyi guards belong to different families, and His Majesty trusts the envoy Mou, if he presents a sparse performance, His Majesty will not say anything.

Kunning Palace,

Emperor Hongzhi had breakfast, walked down the imperial steps outside the palace gate, and went to Fengtian Hall to prepare for the early dynasty.

Mu Bin trotted over and said, "Your Majesty, the sparse music sent back by the Duke of Baoguo!" ”

He handed over the booklet and looked cautiously at His Majesty's face.

I saw that the flesh on Emperor Hongzhi's face moved slightly, gritting his teeth, obviously a little angry.

The Ming army fought with the Tatars, tossed all night, and only killed three people?

What kind of fairy play is this?

Emperor Hongzhi followed up and looked at it.

After this battle, there was no trace of the Tatars, and the baggage delayed the march, and the Tatars were as agile as foxes, facing east and west, and the wind and sand covered it, making it extremely difficult to search.

"There is no need to ring the bell today, let the minister go directly to the Fengtian Temple!"

Emperor Hongzhi took the booklet and strode towards the Fengtian Temple.

A moment later,

Fengtian Temple,

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Xiao Jing to read it urgently, Yan Chengjin thought of the battle of Yingzhou, the battle between Zhu Houzhao and Dayan Khan, 50,000 troops on both sides, cut down for a few days, and only 16 people died.

History is always strikingly similar.

Bao Guogong led his army to fight the Tatars, and only three people died.

Could this be a ......

Immortal fights?

Or is it a deceit?

You look at me, I look at you, minister, obviously questioning the authenticity of this letter.

If it weren't for the fact that the power of Baoguo Gong was too high, the officials would have been fragrant a long time ago.

Fought for a day and a night and killed three people? How did you hit it, with your hands?

Xiao Jing finished reciting.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and questioned: "Even Baoguo Gong has misreported his military exploits!" ”

"The minister may not see, maybe it is really three people." Wang Yue continued: "These three people should be the spies of the Tatars. ”

The Tatars expected that the Beijing army would come to search for the set, and a large number of spies would be dispatched.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is a hundred battles.

Knowing the movement of the Ming army, you can avoid it in advance.

"However, the baggage is indeed a problem, and even if you find a trace of the Tartar, you will not be able to catch up." Wang Yue said.

Li Dongyang and the others nodded.

If you advance separately from the army and are intercepted by the Tatars, you will lose your wife and your army.

Coupled with the wind and sand obstacles, the Beijing camp is not good at fighting in the Gobi steppe.

Yan Chengjin's crazy calculations.

Double-check each strategy, how to increase the speed of the baggage, how to look for traces of the Tatars.

An unhurried voice sounded: "Your Majesty, why don't you let An Dingbo search the set?" There is a way to increase the speed of baggage. ”

The ministers looked around and could not find anyone to speak.

Only then did I realize that it was the cautious guy from the Metropolitan Procuratorate who spoke.

"Tell me about it."

Emperor Hongzhi's face moved slightly.

"Juxian does not avoid relatives, although An Dingbo is the father of the minister, but the minister is dedicated to the Ming Dynasty, and there is no selfishness." Yan Chengjin is colorful.

Emperor Hongzhi is not angry, do you dare to put down the gold medal of avoiding death?

Li Dongyang and the others looked back at Yan Chengjin.

If this guy doesn't have any selfish intentions, of course they are......

Not convinced.

It's clear that he wants to toss Andingbo to death.

After traveling thousands of miles to Xuanfu for appointment, he was not even familiar with the face of the general, so he had to be transferred to Yansui to attack Tatar.

Yan Chengjin was a little weak-hearted, and lowered his head slightly, avoiding the direct gaze of Li Dongyang and others.

A military rookie like Daddy is naturally not as experienced in fighting as Baoguogong.

But there is a good saying, standing on the tuyere, pigs can also fly into the sky.

Create an outlet, if Dad can't fly, he can only be a general soldier in this life.

The Tatars invaded the Ming Dynasty, although it was unfavorable.

On the other hand, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were almost no people who could become the prince of the country.

It is all inherited from the grace of the ancestors.

"Please allocate 20,000 stone of wheat, 1,000 stone of brown sugar, and 100 stone of sesame oil."

Yan Chengjin is going to make compressed biscuits.

The baggage is important to hold all kinds of grain, pots and pans.

With compressed biscuits, these are all thrown away, and ten carts of baggage can become one cart.

You don't even have to match a husband.

Compressed biscuits can be transported and stored for long periods of time, especially in the arid environment of the Northwest.

The cavalry does not have to take a man, does not have to wait for the infantry, and can rest and eat wherever he goes.

Flexibility and mobility are greatly improved.

Han Wen was not happy, and held back his anger: "When Baoguo Gong set out on the expedition, he took away 30,000 stone grains, why do you want more?!" ”

When he heard about Wan Shi's unit, he was so scared that he had nightmares.

Ten thousand stones of grain go out at every turn, and it's good to win the war, and you can bring back some cattle and sheep as compensation, and if you lose, it's a loss-making business.

"The money and food of the Duke of Baoguo are far away in Yansui, and the minister wants to make a thing, which can reduce the weight of the baggage by several times, and please ask Your Majesty for permission."

The method of compressing cookies should be similar to the method of cookies, right?

Daming has a variety of pastry molds.

But the compressive force of these molds is too low.

At this time, wheat is more expensive, but after a period of time, after the corn is popularized and harvested, it will greatly impact the price of grain and bring down the price of wheat.

If there is more grain, wheat is naturally cheaper.

"How many times can you reduce the weight of the baggage?" Han Wen wanted to scold this kid for bragging, and he was not good at exploding foul language in the hall.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "How long will it take?" ”

"Five days."

Coming out of the palace, Yan Chengjin took a carriage to Liangxiang.

It will take some time for the household department to allocate grain, and Liangxiang also has wheat flour and brown sugar, so it can be done first.

Grind the wheat into flour and add a little sugar.

Sugar is a precious condiment, you can't put too much, but you can't leave it at all.

Compressed biscuits are for soldiers, as long as they can fill their stomachs, and there is no need to follow the recipe of later generations.

However, it is a pressing abrasive for compressed biscuits, which is difficult to solve.

Yan Chengjin thought about it and drew a sketch.

Pressing is done with a half-ton iron block.

The base is a groove, there are a hundred, wheat flour is filled into it, the half-ton lifting iron is put down, and the convex tip is pressed into the groove, just tightly.

A compressed biscuit comes out.

The drawings were drawn and handed over to the shipyard engineers.

"Let the blacksmith make it according to this sketch." Yan Chengjin said to Song Jingdao.

Song Jing looked at the sketch and repeatedly pulled a half-ton piece of pig iron, which required at least more than twenty craftsmen.

"My lord, to make this set of big abrasives, I'm afraid the work of the shipyard will have to be put aside first."

"This is the military rations for Yansui, so that the craftsmen rotate day and night."
