Chapter 342: Come by Eating Meat

As soon as he heard the two of them report the number, Zhao Yu didn't have to guess to know their situation. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info They are all from a bad background, and they were also young and ambitious, but they didn't expect a family to be changed, and the phoenix became a grass chicken in a blink of an eye, and had to be a man with his tail between his legs; The other wanted to do something big, but caught up with an unlucky master, who couldn't smoke anywhere, but sent him to the opponent's hand to help. I think that Zhang Shijie is not a generous lord, and he must regard them as traitors arranged by himself or something, and he will not trust them at all.

So these two people enjoyed the white eyes of the coach every day, suffered from the gossip of their colleagues, and sat on a long cold bench, which was very beautiful when Zhao Yu thought about it. And the work of monitoring himself seems to be idle, but in fact it is thankless, no one praises him for doing a good job, and he has no head when he does it, so the two unlucky people were assigned by Zhang Shijie to do this errand again, thinking that Zhang Shijie thought that the Lu family had so many traitors, and Wen Tianxiang was notoriously discordant, and the emperor would definitely not treat the people who saw them, and he would ignore them if he wanted to take refuge in himself.

Zhao Yu estimated that he was running out every day in the past few days, making the two brothers impatient, and wanted to deliberately find something to scare himself back, but he didn't expect to run into hard stubble, and he didn't take advantage of it and got a nose of ash, and he couldn't get hard if he wanted to, and he couldn't change the fate of the angry bag. He looked so pitiful and hateful, and couldn't help but sarcastically and sarcastically beat them......

"Your Majesty...... The last general (lower official) is willing to be punished! Lu Shicheng and Du Hu didn't expect the little emperor's words to be so sharp, there was not a word of reproach, it was all praise, but they were like pins and needles to argue indefensible, and they all gave salutes and excused themselves.

"The two of you are serious, you are all Mrs. Zhang's favorite generals, how dare I punish them!" Zhao Yu waved his hand again and again.

"Your Majesty, then there will be only one death to atone for your sins!" When Lu Shicheng heard this, he gritted his teeth, withdrew the knife, and put it under his head, wanting to apologize for his crimes.

"Don't die, you die in front of me, Mrs. Zhang must be the one I killed, and you will definitely come to Xingshi to ask about the crime, how can I explain it clearly!" In this way, Zhao Yu was even more 'frightened', pointing at him and shouting loudly.

"Then he will cut off his own arm to atone for his sins!" Lu Shicheng put his left arm on the side of the boat, and waved his knife to chop his hand again.

"Slow...... Slow, what's the use of you cutting off a hand for me, you can't use it as an ornament! Zhao Hao shouted repeatedly.

"How to do it, please show it to Your Majesty!" This can't be done, it can't be anything, Du Hu is still smart, Shi Li said.

"That's it, you are all Mrs. Zhang's people, and I don't want to do anything, as long as you are like before, everyone will be fine." Zhao Yu seemed to be very helpless and waved his hand and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!" Both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief and saluted.

"Eat, eat, aren't you hungry?" Zhao Yu didn't say anything more, but said to them.

"This ...... Your Majesty is at your own convenience, and the last general will not be hungry! Seeing that the cabin opposite was already full of baskets of jerky and cooking cakes, Du Hu and the others couldn't help but swallow and spit.

"Your Majesty, now that there is a shortage of food in the court, except for our camp and the imperial front guard, the other armies only need two meals." Zheng Yong whispered to His Majesty.

"Hey, this is strange, the last court meeting said that the grain and grass offered everywhere can be used for half a year, how can there be a shortage of food, have you always been like this?" Zhao Hao swallowed the rice in his mouth and looked at the two of them in surprise and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's been a while since there have only been two meals in the army!" Lu Shicheng replied.

"Oh, and you don't have any dry food on board?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked again.

"Yes, Your Majesty. It is a common practice in the military that ships do not prepare dry rations when they do not go out to the open sea. Lu Shicheng replied.

"Hehe, I see!" Zhao Hao smiled, no wonder they were angry, they went out early and returned late every day, and they had to follow at any time. And if they have two meals, it will be around midnight in the morning, and it will be the end of the hour in the afternoon, so they will not be able to catch up with any meals. But in order to prevent the soldiers from taking advantage of the opportunity to go to sea, and there was no dry food on board, they could only go hungry for a day.

"Zheng Yong and Wang De gave them some spare food on each ship, and it was not easy to escort us all day long." Zhao Hao twisted his face and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the little ones will do it!" Wang De glanced at Lu Shicheng and Du Hu, who were a little dazed, and said, and secretly wondered what Your Majesty was going to do, just now the two sides were like black-eyed chickens, but now they took the initiative to give them food.

Dragon boats are usually limited to five days' worth of food, so it is not difficult to scrape together some dry food. A dozen baskets of food were handed to the other party's two ships. The sea is damp and easy to mold, and there is no refrigerator in this era, so the storage is naturally dry cakes, dried meat and other durable food, of course, it is not delicious, but it is enough to satisfy hunger.

"Quick, give me a piece of jerky, I haven't smelled meat in a long time."

"Well, it's still meaty!"

"Finally meat again!" ……

Zhao Yu looked at the sergeants on the opposite boat who swarmed up without waiting for the supplies to land, snatching them all away, where are the soldiers, they are simply a group of refugees, let alone ask for thanks.

"Your Majesty, it's okay for the last general, I'm really ashamed!" Seeing that His Majesty looked dumbfounded, Lu Shicheng seemed to be frightened by the behavior of the sergeants, and said with embarrassment.

"You really haven't eaten meat in a long time?" Zhao Yu stood up and asked.

"Your Majesty, yes. Not to mention the sergeant, even the last general has not smelled meat for months. Liang Shicheng replied respectfully.

"How did I hear them say that they raise tens of thousands of cattle, sheep, chickens and pigs every month, even if they don't have meat for a while, they won't be unable to eat for months?" Zhao Yu said with some surprise, only he knew that the grain and non-staple food sent by various states and counties were enough to be eaten for half a year, and there were still a steady stream of material resources, listening to their meaning, even if it was a rare meal to eat meat during the New Year's Festival.

"Shangguan has an order, saying that Emperor Daxing is not allowed to slaughter livestock during the filial piety period, and the whole army is forbidden to eat alcohol and meat." Lu Shicheng replied.

"Hmph, those who are officials also listen to the words of the bluffers, when they are short of wine and meat, only in the Zhang Shu's Mansion, there are 500 catties of mutton and 100 live chickens every day, which day will be less wine and meat. Did they ever know that Shao Bao led the army to eat and sleep in the open every day, and he didn't have enough to eat, and he didn't care about the life or death of our people. Du Hu tore off a piece of dried meat and chewed it and said angrily.

"This is even more strange, the Queen Mother has already stated that the current state crisis, everything is simple, and the filial piety of the Emperor Daxing only needs to serve for one month, which has already passed." Zhao Hao was annoyed in his heart, these people in his mother had done bad things, and the black cauldron was all carried by himself, where did the soldiers and civilians below know about the affairs of the court, they all thought that the emperor had the final say, and although Du Hu did not say it explicitly, he also pointed the finger at himself.

"These last generals don't know, today they are shocked, and the last generals are guilty!" Lu Shicheng sighed lightly and said.

"Why should Lu Tongzhi hide it for them, why are they ashamed to drink wine and eat meat every day......" Du Hu said with the jerky in his hand.

"Du Jiyi, please be cautious!" Lu Shicheng is also from an official eunuch family, and he knows that the officialdom is sinister, so Du Hu's words and deeds now are simply pointing at the dried meat and scolding the emperor, if someone listens to it, won't he be punished with a big crime of disrespect, he hurriedly pulled his shirt and said in a low voice.

"The generals sacrifice their lives to defend the country every day, but they can't even eat meat, I should be ashamed!" Zhao Yu said with a gloomy expression.

"Your Majesty, the distribution of materials is customized in the DPRK and China, and I can't complain about Your Majesty!" Wang De saw that His Majesty's face was gloomy, and knew that he was unhappy and hurriedly said authoritatively.

"That's why I'm incompetent!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty......" Du Hu was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect the little emperor to take the initiative to take responsibility, and he was distressed by it.

'Poof......'

'Poof......'

"Where's the noise?" Zhao Hao suddenly heard the sound of a steam engine exhausting, and he listened for a moment and asked in surprise.

"Your Majesty, it's a big loach!" The soldier on the watchtower replied loudly.

"Big loach?!" Zhao Yu was a little dazed, not knowing what this thing was.

"Your Majesty, over there!" Zheng Yong saw that His Majesty didn't know what the big loach was, and pointed it out to him.

"Isn't this a whale!" Zhao Yu put his hand on the pergola and looked in the direction he pointed, only to see more than a dozen whales floating on the sea surface in the east, and the sound he heard was the sound of whale breathing.

"Your Majesty is exactly, but we must not come close, they can overturn the huge boat with a single leap, and even swallow the small boat into their stomachs." Zheng Yong saw that His Majesty seemed to be interested, and hurriedly 'scared' him.

"Zheng Yong, have you ever hunted whales?" How could Zhao Yu be bluffed by him, but he knew that he had good intentions, so he asked without saying anything.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have rounded up with their clansmen, but they are also extremely dangerous." Zheng Yong said, "After discovering the big loach, we have to mobilize dozens of ships, but we can't do it without it." Tie the iron spear with a long rope and then throw it to its body, and so on three times. Among them, the second bid is the most dangerous, because the first mark in the fish does not know the pain, and if it is stabbed again, it will know the pain, and it will crash into the approaching boat. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a good hand who is proficient in water-based boating, but it is often the boat that destroys people, but the reward after success is also the most generous. ”

"Generally, after three marks, the fish can still walk on the sea for several days in pain, and the group of boats follows until they are trapped, and then they are tied with ropes and dragged to the shallow water before slaughtering. Among them, if there is a storm, or the loach dives and escapes, it will be useless, and it is very difficult to catch it. But after the success, the harvest is also abundant, the flesh of a fish can carry dozens of boats, the brain marrow and eyes are oil, more than 300 tudeng, and gray repair ships or use lamps. Take its ribs can also be used as a roof truss, the spine as a door, cut off its bone joints as a mortar, and sell it for millions of dollars. It's just that it's not easy to catch, and it's rare to get one in a few years! ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Zhao Yu listened and said.

"What is Your Majesty going to do?" Zheng Yongxin said that it was bad, His Majesty was tempted, but he still hoped that His Majesty was going to go whaling.

"Let's come out to catch fish, catch one and the whole army will have soup to drink tomorrow, and catch two and there will be meat to eat!" Zhao Yu said excitedly, he had seen clearly that it was humpback whales on the sea nearby, this kind of whale has a relatively docile temperament, but it can weigh more than 30 tons, even if only half of the meat has 10,000 catties of meat to eat.

"Your Majesty, don't take risks!" Zheng Yong was shocked when he heard this, and knelt down on one knee and begged to be spared. I regretted it even more in my heart, so I had to listen to 'Du Meng' and they instigated to go out of the camp to scatter my heart, but where is this distraction, it is obviously fatal!

"What are you talking about, if you don't listen to the order, I'll cook you in the pot tomorrow and make soup and drink!" Zhao Yu threatened.

"Your Majesty......" Zheng Yong is determined to stop it, and he can't go to make soup for himself!

"Raise the battle flag, ring the alarm bell and prepare for war!" Zhao Yu no longer paid attention to Zheng Yong, and shouted at Zhang Hao, the captain of the Warrior.

"Honorable Order!" Zhang Hao agreed, and immediately sounded the alarm bell, only to see that the sailors or soldiers who were eating on the ship immediately threw down their rice bowls and quickly entered the battle position. The same is true for the two ships of Brave and Brave, but in a few moments, the three ships have finished pulling anchor and are on standby, and they are all in battle positions.

"All ships listen to my orders and round up the big loaches!" Zhao Yu climbed the watchtower of the Warrior, waved the command flag and ordered, here is a good sight, and he is not worried that the whale will fire arrows and cannons, so he uses this place as a command platform. The order was quickly transmitted to the ships, who hoisted their flags to show that they were ready for battle. Then he gave a series of orders, the dragon ship lowered the mast, the gun doors and arrow windows were all opened, the ballista was pushed into the gun position, and then the warship sailed into the sea channel in unison and turned to the southeast......

"What are they doing here?" Just now, it was fine, and suddenly the three dragon ships that were being monitored sounded the alarm and entered a combat state. Seeing that the cannon doors were opened one after another, and a 'bed crossbow' was launched, which frightened Lu Shicheng, thinking that the little emperor was going to send them back to the west after eating a severed meal. But fortunately, they quickly left the anchorage, only to realize that it was not aimed at him, so he wiped a cold sweat and asked Du Hu beside him.

"It seems that Your Majesty wants to catch the big loach!" Du Hu judged according to the direction of the boat. But he was also scared, thinking that the child would turn his face when he said it! But he was even more curious that His Majesty was actually commanding the three warships himself, watching them wave the flag and direct the ships to change formation, not like they were messing around willfully, but they looked familiar.

"Huh?! Your Majesty is too bold, this big loach can't avoid it, and he wants to provoke them! Lu Shicheng pinched a cold sweat for His Majesty and said.

"General, you are familiar with the navy, how about watching Your Majesty's command and dispatch?" Du Hu didn't answer, changed the topic and asked.

"We have still seen the quality of the escort army, you see that His Majesty personally watched and dispatched the ships, at least he is proficient in the flag language, familiar with the performance of the ships, and understands the changes in the formation, and when I saw a certain family today, I thought those rumors might be true!"

"Oh, is it the battle that Your Majesty personally led an army to defeat Liu Shen and kill his forward general?" Du Hu frowned and said.

"Well, you also saw it just now, and its naval commander wanted to stop His Majesty, but he directly kicked it away and gave the order himself, and all the ships acted according to the order, without the slightest hesitation, obviously His Majesty once commanded them to fight, so it would have such an effect." Lu Shicheng said thoughtfully.

"Really?" Du Hu was still a little skeptical, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty seems to be waving the flag to us, what is he talking about?" ”

"If you want to eat meat, come with me!" Lu Shicheng looked a little funny...... (To be continued.) )
