Chapter 390: Son of Heaven
"Lord Liu Junzheng, I want to take the liberty of asking you, is the food in your army so good?" Holding the food in his hand, Xu Zheng asked Liu Yikai with emotion.
"Lord Xu is polite. I don't dare to hide anything. Although our army's meals are not like this every day, they are not much worse. After all, it is now a battlefield, and it is inconvenient to transport military rations after all. If you are stationed in the city, the food is probably much better. Liu Yikai replied without thinking.
Suddenly, Xu Zheng felt a little in tears.
He asked if they had such good food on weekdays, but they told him that the food was so bad because it was a war now.
"Lord Liu Junzheng, your military rations are so good, how can the logistics be guaranteed? If you count the wear and tear on the road, how much military rations will it take to support this? Even if the tax and grain of the entire Huguang area are increased, it will be difficult to support it! Xu Zheng couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
"Hearing Lord Xu ask this, I shouldn't have seen our port over there!" Liu Yikai said with a slight smile.
"Ports? The imperial court forbids the sea, oh no, it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty forbidden sea, I heard that except for a few ports, other areas are not allowed to go to sea, so where to see what ports. Xu Zheng replied after thinking for a while.
"Then if you have the opportunity to visit our port, you will understand why we have so much rations. The harbor is filled with ships that are several stories tall and full of grain brought in from overseas. As he spoke, Liu Yikai showed a sense of pride.
"Well, didn't you say that opening the sea is bad? It is easy to attract pirates. I heard that during the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese were very rampant, and even laid down a lot of cities and killed a lot of common people. Ma Ansheng on the side suddenly spoke.
"Wolver? It depends on whose place it is, if they dare to come, it is estimated that they will die before they get close to the shore. At this time, I saw that Liu Yikai was even more domineering. Under the red sunlight of the early morning, it makes people feel heroic and compelling.
"Lord Liu Junzheng, it's not that I question what you said, but the problem of the Japanese has always been a big trouble for the imperial court, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. You think you can solve it? Ma Ansheng was also puzzled.
"What's so hard about this, I ask you where did the pirates come from?" Liu Yikai asked Ma Ansheng.
"This... I don't know. Ma Ansheng thought about it, but he really didn't know where to start.
"It's the sea!" At this time, Xu Zheng answered.
"Yes, it's at sea." Ma Ansheng also nodded and echoed.
"Yes, they came from the sea. But what if there is no way for them to come over at sea? Liu Yikai asked.
"The sea is so big, how can there be no road." Xu Zheng felt that Liu Yikai was too much to brag.
"Indeed, the sea is huge. But I have a lot of bandit fleets! I don't know exactly how many, but I've heard that the shipyard is constantly making it all day long, and the boat is launching with the dumplings. I heard that the king of Han is ready to build a navy. Can you imagine, how many boats? Just that little widow dares to come and send him to death? Liu Yikai said.
"Master Liu Jun, have you seen King Han himself?" At this time, Xu Zheng asked Liu Yikai with curiosity, and even Ma Ansheng next to him also showed a curious baby's appearance.
"Naturally, I am fortunate to have met His Royal Highness the King of Han." At this moment, I saw Liu Yikai saluting respectfully in the direction of Ma'anshan and said.
"Then allow me to ask foolishly, what kind of person do you think His Royal Highness the King of Han is?" Xu Zheng also learned from Liu Yikai's appearance, and asked after bowing respectfully in the direction of Ma'anshan. Even with Ma Ansheng.
After all, you want to invest in others, so naturally you can't make yourself different.
"Son of Heaven, extraordinary people can imagine." Suddenly, Xu Zheng felt that Liu Yikai, who had just come to his senses, was like a devout saint at the moment, extremely respectful.
"Is King Han really so powerful?" Xu Zheng was shocked.
"A sixteen or seventeen-year-old country boy, if he doesn't have the spirit of the Son of Heaven, is it possible to lay down this country and protect the people?" Liu Yikai was very angry at Xu Zheng's question.
"Yes, I lost my word." Xu Zheng hurriedly slapped his mouth and said.
"Lord Xu doesn't have to be like this, after all, you are just here, and it is inevitable that this will happen. If you can stay in the bandit army for a long time, you will understand my admiration for the king of Han. Liu Yikai said.
"Yes, yes..."Xu Zheng nodded repeatedly.
"Another thing I can tell you is that I came down to receive you by order from the King of Han. Do you feel a little strange, I just told you that you should eat porridge, steamed buns, fried dough sticks and the like for breakfast, but now you are served the main meal? Liu Yikai continued.
"Yes, I was a little confused just now, but I forgot to ask you for a while." Xu Zheng replied.
"That's because they said that if you choose not to meet us on the battlefield, then you can call it a friend, and when a friend comes, he will naturally ask for good wine and food. But as you know, we are on the battlefield now, and naturally we don't have any good food and wine, so we can only share our good food with you. ”
"It was supposed to give you some breakfast first, and then lunch. However, King Han considered that after a night of troubles last night, your stomach should have been hungry for a long time, and if you eat some oil and water, your body will be more comfortable, so he ordered us to make some staple foods out to fill your stomachs. While speaking, Liu Yikai once again saluted respectfully in the direction of Ma'anshan.
Although Xu Zheng didn't know if what Liu Yikai said was true, he was moved by his words.
Although they have always called Zhang Rui the leader of the thieves, they have always hoped that one day they can kill him, so that they can glorify their ancestors and bless future generations.
But it is really touching that such a person, who can be called the Son of Heaven, will consider the problem of hunger for these desperate rebels.
Xu Zheng thought about it from another angle, if it was the Qianlong Emperor of the Manchu Dynasty, he would definitely not think about whether they were hungry or not, after all, even if it was the military rations of the Qing army, he couldn't wait to supply them every day.
If he could, Xu Zheng really hoped to meet this rumored King Han. See if he really deserves to follow with his life.
……
What Xu Zheng thought, Zhang Rui naturally didn't know, because he was laughing in his tent at this time.
PS: Ladies and gentlemen, although I don't say it, it doesn't mean that I don't want a ticket, ask for a ticket, thank you!
