In the wilderness of Wuchang County, the Huangzhou Army garrison of the autumn exercise, the lively dinner is underway, the autumn exercise is over today, and tomorrow the soldiers will return to the north and return to the stations of the states and counties. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Around the camp, the soldiers lined up to eat, all of them eagerly awaited, and their excitement was overflowing, because each person could have an extra sausage for this meal.

Sausages are cooked together with a large pot of rice, since there was Dayejian, the iron pot began to be promoted in the army, using the iron pot to cook rice and boiling water can save firewood than using an urn, and the rice is cooked quickly.

The sausage rice, which is made by putting pork into a casing made from the small intestine of a pig, is compressed, dehydrated and dried, similar to the practice in the Northland.

There are many pigs in Huangzhou, so there are many pork products, and sausages are easy to store, so it is suitable to serve as military food.

There is fatty pork in the sausage, and after cooking it with rice, the lard overflows, and the rice grains are wrapped in the fat and aroma of the sausage, and even if it is just ordinary brown rice, it tastes more fragrant than ordinary brown rice, because even if it is less, there is some oil.

Oil is a good thing, just eat without oil to resist hunger, and each person can get a small piece of sausage in the first bowl of rice, and a mouthful of lard is full of lard, and the wonderful feeling is really indescribable.

Each person can also have a salted egg every day, maybe it is a salted egg or a salted duck egg, it doesn't matter, because salted eggs contain salt, and people don't eat salt.

The level of food has gone up, the soldiers are full of food and training, and everyone thinks that Chief Yuwen is really good to them, and the generals can't help but be stunned when they see such a level of food.

Yu Wenwen, the young governor of Huangzhou, looks decent in his style of leading the troops, nothing special, and even a little suspicious, but there are also some places that make people feel good, not to mention anything else, just logistics is very good.

Two words: luxury.

actually supplied so much meat to the soldiers, not to mention the famous Huangzhou ham in Shannan, as well as meat floss, salted eggs, and sausages, which not only consume meat, but also consume salt, everyone knows that you have money, do you want to be so extravagant!

In these years, the treatment of being a soldier is actually not very good, the food is so-so, just a few years ago, when the food level has not improved, it is nothing more than a question of sand bibimbap or rice mixed with sand, meat, basically when marching and fighting, it is the soldiers who hunt wild animals near the garrison to solve the problem.

The amount of salt is salty anyway, and if it is oil, you can just fool around.

Where is it not like this, unless it is an elite soldier or a general's department, their food will be good, after all, it is to play with life, and ordinary soldiers just support the scene when they fight.

However, in this autumn exercise, the food level of the army has improved a lot, and they all know that there are many meat products in Huangzhou, and now the generals know how much this "more" is.

Nearly 10,000 people, how many salted eggs, sausages, meat floss and ham do they eat every day? Who's going to pay for all this money?

Anyway, it is not the generals of the various departments, this autumn exercise, whether the soldiers and horses of the various departments are state and county soldiers or government soldiers or recruitment teams, according to the requirements are to bring their own grain and grass to march, after all, this is also an assessment subject, and the extra sausages, ham and other meat products, but the coach Yu Wenwen allocated separately.

In addition, not many people know whether this fee is paid by the governor's mansion or out of his own pocket, but according to the historical reputation of Gong Guo, everyone is guessing that nine times out of ten it is out of his own pocket.

Baskets of salted eggs, ham, meat floss, and sausages are not only written on the date of production, but also the names of the relevant stores, one is to facilitate accountability, and the other is to make a name for themselves.

This Huangzhou governor is also working hard to promote the merchants in Xiyang City under his rule!

Many soldiers are illiterate, and they can't understand what is written on these bamboo blues, but the taste of each product is slightly different after all, and after eating more, it is natural to know which one's taste is more suitable for oneself.

Then the soldiers exchanged with each other, and there was always a way to talk about it, so they had to know which one made the sausage, salted eggs, or meat floss they liked to eat, and they remembered it back and forth.

Thinking of the large purchase of meat products by Shannan officials and troops in Huangzhou, everyone couldn't help but admire the methods of Duke Yi: there is really no one who can make the war a business.

Although Yuwen Xingtai and Yuwen Huangzhou are relatives (father and son), and the orders of the officials and soldiers are inseparable from the human relationship, everyone welcomes these salted eggs, ham, meat floss, and sausages as military food, after all, they have been eaten, and they are indeed convenient and delicious.

Anyway, the government pays for it, and the generals of the various ministries are happy to be good people, of course, if they are allowed to pay for it themselves, it is another matter if they are reluctant to pay it.

In the Chinese military tent, a lively barbecue meeting has just ended, the generals left happily, and the "host" Yu Wenwen burped and walked out of the tent to blow the wind and disperse the air.

Today, the autumn exercise was successfully concluded in a place called "Victory" in Wuchang County, Ezhou, as the commander, he naturally had to feast the generals, and of course he ate roast pigs, roasted whole sheep, roasted game, etc., and wine was impossible, but this was in the barracks.

Drinking and making mistakes, it is easy to get drunk and lash out at the soldiers, or insult the generals after drinking, Yu Wenwen doesn't want to make any trouble for this, so unless it is to celebrate after a big victory, or to practice for the dead, the military camp is not allowed to drink.

Hengzhou Sima Zhou Faming and several other generals who patrolled the camp came back to resume their lives, and Yu Wenwen asked people to bring out the reserved barbecue for them to eat, and asked about the patrol camp by the way.

"Chief, the soldiers like these salted eggs, sausages, meat floss, and ham as non-staple food, which can not only serve rice, but also satisfy meat addiction, and the saltiness is enough, which is much better than drinking light salt water."

"Steward, the soldiers still have some scruples about eating pig offal, after all, they have never eaten these things, of course, ordinary people can't eat pork a few times a year, and they don't have a chance to eat offal and the like."

"Steward, the number of soldiers who like to eat salted duck eggs is about the same as the number of soldiers who like to eat salted eggs, basically it doesn't matter which one they eat, there is no obvious taboo problem."

"Boss, the down jacket is still a little hot to wear now, and the soldiers on the night patrol feel good to wear it, after all, the night breeze is a little cool..."

Yuwen Wen quietly listened to the feedback of the generals under his command, these opinions came from the ideas of the grassroots soldiers, so he should pay attention to it, and then improve it, and do a good job in the logistics work, after all, he spent the money this time, but he paid it himself.

Yes, as some people have speculated, Yu Wenwen paid out of his own pocket to add food to the autumn exercise army.

Is he panicking because of his money? No, although he makes a lot of money, Yu Wenwen also spends money like running water, and he will not be afraid of too much money.

But what is worth the money must also be spent.

Whether it is to buy the hearts of the army, whether it is to pretend to be a gesture, or whether it is to promote business for the meat products workshop in Xiyang City, Yuwenwen is determined to improve the food in the army, so he is not afraid to burn money.

What do you do with that much money? If you lose a battle one day, how much money you have is cheaper than others!

As a "latecomer", Yuwenwen knows many historical stories, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the peasant army besieged Luoyang, after the city was broken, Zhu Changxun, the blessed king of Luoyang, came to the end of his life.

There are two theories about the death of this Fu Wang, one of which is that when the peasant soldiers came to the city, the city defenders planned to grit their teeth and defend it, and some officials persuaded the Fu King to take out his family wealth to sacrifice the army, and the Fu King was reluctant to agree, and the defenders learned that the army was completely lost, and opened the door to surrender.

Second, King Fu knew that the situation was not good, and it was useless to keep the money, so he promised to take the family wealth out to reward the army, but as a result, those officials just left the Fu Wang's Mansion with the money, and most of them drifted away "according to the routine", and they were divided into the hands of the soldiers defending the city, and there were very few.

The soldiers who thought that King Fu would be rewarded were enraged, and did not hesitate to open the door and surrender, and after the city fell, King Fu ascended to heaven.

No matter which way he said it, Yu Wenwen didn't want that kind of scene to fall on his head, in the troubled times, the most important thing was to seize the military power, and when the soldiers came to Xiyang City and there was no way out, he would carry the money box to the city to throw money to buy the hearts of the army, it was already the end of the road.

You can't beat the wild wave battle, and defending a lonely city is no different from a rabbit kicking an eagle, and it completely depends on the face.

Once something happens in the current situation, most of the surrender of Shannan Wenwu is basically life-threatening, and the men of the Yuwen clan alone can't live, so they are not willing to spend money to buy the heart of the army, do they think they are tired of living?

Usually be good to the soldiers, and when it comes to the critical time, the soldiers may work hard for you, not to mention the probability, at least it is better than cramming for a while.

What is the use of oppressing, abusing and enslaving soldiers, and not treating soldiers as human beings, and carrying money out at critical times? The soldiers took the reward, and maybe they turned around and surrendered.

This big order, to put it bluntly, is their Yuwen family's three father and son's move to buy the heart of the army, some of the money spent, part of the official account, part of it is their own account, purely from a business point of view, it is a loss, but it is worth it.

Improving the treatment of officers and soldiers has been doing it for several years, and the effect is also good, and this time another fire has been added because the big war is about to start, and it's time to play with your life! (To be continued.) )
