Chapter 528: New Military Rations

"Lord Sacrificial Wine, this is the military rations that General Su gave me to the firearms supervisor." Xue Rengui pulled a large wagon of supplies into the barracks of the firearms supervisor and reported to Morton.

When the army goes out, it is necessary to have dry food, and it is the dry food of the 200,000 army, and if Su Dingfang wants to prepare the dry food of 200,000 people, I am afraid that he will not be able to take care of it, so he can only distribute the military food to the various armies and let them prepare the dry food for the expedition by themselves.

"Military rations!" Merton couldn't help but come over curiously, he was fighting in the army for the first time, and he really hadn't eaten military rations, in these days of the expedition, although the road was far away, but the people along the way had already prepared food, and they had long been curious about the military rations of the Tang Dynasty.

Xue Rengui pulled down a sack from the carriage and opened it, put it in front of Merton, revealing a yellow and clear piece inside: "This is a necessary thing for marching and fighting, corn." ”

"Corn!"

Morton frowned suddenly, he was naturally no stranger to corn, when Mojia Village was poor, this was to eat corn all day long to save his life, this corn gave him the biggest impression that he was not full, and it was okay to eat it normally, this was a march to fight!

Xue Rengui explained: "General Qiyu, since ancient times, the military food for marching and fighting is corn, although the corn is not full, but people and horses can eat it, which is very convenient. ”

Merton suddenly realized, but understanding is understanding, for war horses, corn is a rare concentrate feed, but for people, it is a bit insufficient.

Merton had an idea, remembered a common military ration in later generations, and stretched out his hand to summon Xue Rengui and said: "You go to General Su and leave thirty percent of these corn for the food of war horses, and replace all the other seventy percent of corn with flour." ”

"Flour!" Xue Rengui was puzzled for a moment, "Although the flour is good, it is not easy to preserve at all, and it can't make dry food at all!" ”

In this era, the main role of flour is to make steamed bread and noodles, which are easy to get damp and have no way to store them for a long time.

Merton smiled mysteriously and said, "Don't worry, this sacrificial wine only has a clever plan." ”

Xue Rengui left in disbelief, but he didn't know that if Qin Huaiyu and the three of them saw Merton's smile, they would definitely know that Merton had a brilliant idea, and they would have gone in a hurry.

Since no one asked for flour at all, and there were not many people in the firearms supervisor, after a while, Xue Rengui came back with a cart full of flour.

"Lord Samurai, here comes the flour you wanted." Xue Rengui took a breath and said.

Merton opened the cloth bag, looked at the white flour and nodded with satisfaction.

"Lord Sacrificial Wine, how are you going to make dry food?" Xue Rengui was at a loss.

"Don't worry, when it comes to food, the Mo family is unique in the world, and it is guaranteed that Jean Er and others can taste delicious and easy-to-preserve dry food." Merton said confidently.

"Come on, fry all this flour for me!" Merton commanded.

Yes, what Merton wants to do is China's second-generation military rations, fried noodles!

As a military food, fried noodles became popular from the Song Dynasty, and until the time of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army also had a mouthful of fried noodles and a mouthful of snow, which has been verified for thousands of years, but it has endured for a long time, and it obviously has its merits.

Suddenly, the entire firearms supervisor went into battle and began to set up a cauldron, and soon, a pot of fried noodles was freshly baked.

"Ahh Xue Rengui couldn't help but taste it, it tasted really good, but it was too difficult to swallow, and he accidentally choked on it, and his nostrils were all fried noodles, and Bai Huahua's mouth and nose were all there, which immediately caused a burst of laughter from the hundred cavalry soldiers.

Xue Rengui hurriedly drank a few sips of water, which made him feel more comfortable, wiped the fried noodles on his face with water, and said, "Lord Sacrificial Wine, this is what you call dry food." ”

Merton smiled: "Do it or not! ”

Xue Rengui smiled bitterly: "It's really dry, but I'm afraid I'm not hungry just by eating these fried noodles!" ”

Merton turned his head and asked, "Then you say, what is the hunger!" ”

"Meat! Of course, eating meat makes you hungry! Xue Rengui blurted out, and then his face was a little stupid, the status of soldiers in this era is low, it would be good to be full, except for rewarding the three armies with big fish and meat, the rest is probably just to fill the stomach.

The other hundred cavalry soldiers also nodded one after another, when Merton was experimenting with gunpowder weapons, it was not less meat for the hundred cavalry soldiers, and that delicacy made them remember it now.

Merton slapped his thigh and said, "It's here!" How did I not think that someone came! Go and give this sacrificial wine, and go to the city to find the common people and buy some livestock. ”

Xue Rengui hesitated: "But I am waiting in the army, and the grain and grass are uniformly distributed!" The rest of the armies are full of corn, and if the firearms supervisor eats meat, I am afraid it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers! ”

Merton shook his head and said: "This sacrificial wine is to test a new type of military rations, if it is successful, I am afraid that the whole army will be able to eat meat in the future, why are they dissatisfied!" I personally paid for this sacrificial wine, so I just had to buy it, and I would take care of the rest. ”

"Yes!" Xue Rengui took a gold ingot from Merton's hand and immediately took the order.

When Xue Rengui drove dozens of sheep and hundreds of chickens and ducks back to the barracks, the entire barracks immediately became a sensation, and the news that the firearms superintendent was going to develop a new type of military ration instantly spread throughout the barracks.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

Li Jing and the other generals were studying Tuyuhun's map, and when they heard a commotion outside the military tent, they couldn't help frowning and said, "Come on, go and see what's going on?" ”

"General Qiyu, all the corn distributed by the firearms priest General Jiu was replaced with flour, and a large number of poultry and livestock were purchased from the people, saying that they wanted to study new military rations." A personal soldier came in to report to Li Jingyu.

"The new type of military rations, so I don't like corn and rice." Li Daoyan said in a weird way.

Cheng Biting Jin pouted and said: "Needless to say, you don't know what the taste of corn rice is, not only is it not delicious, but it is not full." ”

Not only Cheng biting gold, if it is not convenient for other generals to share corn, I am afraid they will be tired of it a long time ago, and corn is eaten by ordinary soldiers, unless it is a show or a particularly difficult period, as a general, there is naturally a small stove, such as the famous fried pork of the generals in later generations.

Merton opened a small stove by himself, and even opened a small stove for the entire firearms supervisor, and made a lot of noise.

"The general can't last long! The most important thing in the army is fairness, and if the other armies eat corn, and the firearms supervisor eats meat, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction in the army. Hou Junji's face was uncertain.

The other generals also nodded one after another, which is indeed a lot of hidden dangers.

Li Jing suddenly sighed, there was a rumor in Chang'an City, that is, the Mo family belonged to catfish, and he tossed wherever he went, and now he finally realized Li Shimin's feelings.

However, the firearms supervisor has a special status, so he naturally has to be cautious, and when he was hesitating, a personal soldier suddenly came in and reported: "General Qiqi, the firearms supervisor wine, please give the general guidance on the new military rations." ”

Li Jing's eyes lit up, and he suddenly got up and said: "Let's go, let's go and see what is unique about the new style of military food of the ink sacrifice wine, but the old man has heard that the things that come out of the hands of the ink sacrifice wine are all magical, if the new military food is really good, I am afraid that we will be able to get rid of this bland and tasteless corn in the future." ”

Some of the generals despised and some looked forward to it, and they all got up and headed for the firearms prison.
