What is the world? What is the country?

The rivers and mountains under the sky are also land, and today, who has the most rivers, mountains and land? Naturally, it should be Li Mi, the Duke of Wei, who rebelled several times after the Eight Pillars country. How badly the great cause failed in eight years, and now how brilliant he is.

Although he is not good-looking, he has neither a beautiful beard, nor a handsome face, nor a burly figure, but this black-faced Guanzhong man is now almost relying on his own strength, making a comeback, conquering the territory of 22 counties, and supporting 600,000 soldiers.

His territory is the widest of all the heroes, with the largest number of soldiers and horses, and the largest population.

If Yang Xuangan had Li Mi's ability back then, maybe he would have changed the dynasty a long time ago.

The most difficult thing is that with so many soldiers and horses, he can still endure not being called the emperor and king, and until now, he is only called the Duke of Wei.

It's the restraint that's amazing.

"Wei Guogong takes the order!"

A group of envoys from Liaodong brought the emperor's will to Li Mi, and the Liaodong court responded to his return to the court.

The edict enshrined Li Mi Wei Guogong, added the opening of the Fuyi with the three divisions, the Shangzhu State, entered the Taiwei and the prince and the prince, awarded the Henan Provincial pacification envoy, and the left and right Shenjie and the left and right Shenxing four armies were unified. There are 5,000 households in Shiyi, 1,000 households in Zhenfeng, and 2,000 acres of Yongye field.

Li Mi's Wei army, the Liaodong Imperial Court gave four military titles, left and right Shenjie, left and right Shenxing, the four armies were 96,000 plus 4,000 soldiers and 100,000 soldiers.

After announcing the blessing, the messenger brought four white porcelain bottles.

"This was specially given to the Duke of Wei by His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

Wei Zheng looked at the four white porcelain bottles, looking at them and sealing them, and he didn't know what was inside.

Li Mi was very jealous of the Zhongwu King who was far away in Liaodong, otherwise he would not have to go out of his way to attach himself to the Liaodong Imperial Court.

Li Mi's tooth general Cai Jiande stepped forward, "What is this?" ”

The messenger opened it, but inside was some seafood.

"This is the dried fish of the sea catfish that Wu Guogong Du Shuaijin, the marshal of the Jiangnan Xiongwu Festival, presented to the King of Qin."

Li Gongyi and a few other Wei army generals said disdainfully, "Isn't it just some dried sea fish, what's so strange, can't we even eat dried fish?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not ordinary dried fish, please have some water."

This catfish is also known as rice fish, rice fish, the big can grow to hundreds of catties, the main production area is in the Zhoushan Islands in western Zhejiang, and there are a small amount of Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea.

At the peak of May and June, the fish is caught from the sea, preferably among the islands in western Zhejiang, and then the fish is made directly on the boat. Remove its skin and bones, take its fine flesh and cut it, and dry it with it, and it will be very dry for three or four days.

Then put it in a brand new white porcelain bottle, seal the mud outside, do not enter the wind, put it for about two months, when you want to come out, take it out, wrap it in a cloth, and soak it in the water, you can get the same delicious as fresh fish fillet.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin also specially sent a cook over to make this shredded fish for Wei Guogong."

The cook was a good cook, and his knife skills were exquisite, and the dried fish fillet was quickly soaked, and sure enough, like fresh fish fillet, he made four dishes with it.

The chef cooks the dishes, and the colors and flavors are complete.

The cook tasted a little of each of them first, and then presented it to Li Mi.

"Please taste it."

Li Mi pinched a chopstick for everything and found that it was surprisingly delicious.

He smiled at the moment, "In the past, when I was still a guard in the palace of the first emperor, there was a magician who caught a sea fish in the pond water in the courtyard of the palace, but it was just a trick to disillusion it, and now, this dried fish is a real sea fish, Wu Jun is more than a thousand miles away, but he can eat such a fresh delicacy here, it is really amazing." ”

Li Mi is not a dumpling, he has paid for all the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but Li Gongyi, Wang Dangren and many other Wei soldiers were just small local tyrants in the county before, and they have never seen this kind of magical way of making dried meat.

"Come and don't be rude, the king of Qin gave me such a good thing, how can I not return the respect?" Li Mi beckoned with a smile, "Take the deer I shot yesterday and return it to His Royal Highness King Qin." ”

Luo Cheng sent Li Mi dried fish slices, and Li Mi sent Luo Cheng venison back.

Although many people don't understand whether there is any deep meaning in this, at least there is a harmonious atmosphere on both sides for now. Li Mi received the title of the Liaodong Imperial Court, although the official position of the seal was not as good as Yang Guangfeng's, and he only gave a pacification envoy, which was not as good as the Shangshu Order of the Southeast Dao Daxingtai, and did not give Shang Shuling such an important position as the prime minister, and only gave a loose rank from the first grade.

But Li Mi is not really attached, so everyone only mentions it.

Li Mi himself had an army of 600,000 people, and it didn't matter if Luo Cheng only gave him four military titles and a 100,000-strong establishment.

The territory was fought by himself, the army was recruited by himself, and the generals and colonels were all his people, so Li Mi accepted the order with a smile.

The messenger departed.

Li Mi left the cook and told him to make all the dried fish.

In addition to dried rice fish, there are several types of dried fish.

Of course, among them, the dried rice fish is the most delicious, and Li Mi's favorite is to directly cut the soaked pork slices into thin strips, and then cut the fragrant soft leaves and put them on top, stir them well with chopsticks, and you can eat them, which is very delicious.

The body of this sea fish is not fishy, especially this kind of rice fish, the meat is fine and soft and white, with green leaves, white and green are distinct, and the color and fragrance are complete.

This time, Luo Cheng also gave Li Mi 30 shrimp roe from Yuhang County, each with a village of length and breadth and thickness, which is very exquisite and tastes very good.

The cook said that to make this kind of shrimp roe, it is necessary to carefully select the sea white shrimp with seeds, and put them into a sealed bamboo basket every three or five buckets, and then put the bamboo basket in a large basin and wash it with water, and the shrimp roe grows under the belly of the shrimp, which is red, like raspberries. With the water dripping down, it flows into the large basin from the gap in the bamboo basket. About one stone of white shrimp can get five liters of shrimp roe. After that, remove the shrimp roe from the large basin. The cloth was sewn into a pouch, as wide as a bamboo that was one and a half inches straight, and two feet long. Put the shrimp roe into a cloth bag, and when it is full, quickly tie the mouth of the bag with a rope. No matter how many bags there are at a time, they are sealed with minced salt, and the salt around them is about a few inches thick. After sealing for a day and night, take out the cloth bag and put it outside to dry. At night, take it off and press it under a wooden plank, and dry it again the next day. After pressing it in this way for ten days to see that it is completely dry, open the cloth bag and get the shrimp roe muzzle. The color is like red glass, the color is bright and the texture is fat.

In addition, there are also catfish with belly, Songhua perch dried 'golden navel and jade belly', and honey crab called 'squid with sword'.

Eating these very distinctive coastal delicacies in the south of the Yangtze River, Wei will be an eye-opener.

"In the future, when the southeast is conquered, I will definitely ask the lord to let me go to the land of Wuyue as an official." Li Gongyi said with a smile.

"It won't be long." Li Mi said, "Where is Dou Jiande's army?" ”

"Dou Jiande came to the aid with all his strength this time, mobilized 100,000 soldiers and horses, and claimed to be an army of 300,000. Now the striker has been stationed in Liyang, Jijun, because the ice of the Yellow River is thawing in the warm weather, and the soldiers and horses cannot directly cross the river, so they are requisitioning ships. ”

"This is what I expected, the Yellow River is no longer smooth, but a natural danger." Li Mi said proudly.

"My lord, Dou Jiande sent a letter, asking our Wei army to relieve the siege of Baima and retreat to the east of the canal, and then the two families will use the Tongji Canal as the boundary to rebuild the original good-neighborly relationship."

"Hahaha, Dou Jiande is also a hero who occupies half of Hebei, why do you say such ignorant words, now the two of us, we can only save one, how can there be reconciliation?" Li Mi laughed. "Pass the order, take advantage of Dou Jiande's inability to cross the Yellow River for a while, we will attack the city with all our might, we must take down the white horse and annihilate his 10,000 elites before he crosses the river!"
