One thousand one hundred twenty-one Sending off, leaving, over
On the first day of the first month of the second year of Longwu, after spending a Chinese New Year's Eve and letting the army eat a good meal of meat and a full meal, the army set out.
Qi Dayong led an army of 50,000 towards Luomeng Pass.
Along the way, An Jiangchen and Song Chengen pointed out the way for Qi Dayong, saying which roads are easier to walk and which roads are easy to pass, and they are very dedicated.
Moreover, when it comes to doing so, they really afford one-third of the marching rations of the army, note that it is one-third of the marching rations of the 30,000 people of the Qin army, and their own food is still provided by themselves, and they do not eat the military rations of the Qin army.
Qi Dayong felt very funny, and deeply felt the strong desire to survive of these two people.
But whether it should be said or not, this desire to survive is also just right, and the matter of self-prepared military rations is very good.
Moreover, when they learned that the Qin army was not allowed to privateer booty during the war, all the seizures were returned to the public, and after the war, according to the rules of distribution according to the amount of merit, they also took the initiative to follow the rules of the Qin army, and they would definitely not exceed it.
This performance was so good that Qi Dayong felt a little surprised and embarrassed, so he took the initiative to invite them to eat with him.
At noon the day before the army arrived at Luomeng Pass, Qi Dayong held a banquet in his camp tent to entertain An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, and the two expressed their gratitude with sincere fear, and then brought their closest people to the banquet.
Because it is in the army, the dishes are very simple and extensive, big fish and meat, wild stir-fry and stew, full of taste, just like the cooking level of Guanglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty, there are some heavy mouths, but it is very suitable for people who march and fight.
Xiao Ruxun stipulated that before encountering a big war, soldiers must be allowed to eat dry food to fill their stomachs, and on the way to the army, they must eat meat at least once every five days, and they must be fed in peacetime, and there has never been a shortage of oil rationed to the army.
And when the army was on the march, they were given oil cakes made in Korea as rations.
Qin Jun's food was much better than that of the former Ming Dynasty, because there was more corn and potatoes, and he was not afraid of not being full.
And because Xiao Ruxun instructed local officials to promote peanut cultivation in suitable areas to extract oil, peanuts have now begun to be planted on a large scale in the Jiangnan region, and there are more edible oil crops for the people.
Although there are more peanuts used to extract oil, but there are not many peanuts planted, the oil extraction technology has not arrived at home, and the oil yield is not so large.
He has been thinking about fried peanuts for more than ten years.
And the army can also eat fragrant peanut oil.
On the march this time, Xiao Ruxun allocated a large number of easy-to-store potatoes and rice grains in the southeast granary, which can be eaten as grain when needed, and can also be fried and eaten when food is abundant.
A large amount of peanut oil was also deployed to carry with the army, so that the fireheads could replenish the oil and water for the army, but the use of oil and water needed to be reported to the army commander in advance, and the commander needed to keep track of the amount of oil and water, because the most expensive thing in the army at present was these precious oils.
Qi Dayong likes to eat sour and hot shredded potatoes very much, and when he was in the garrison, he was greedy, so he asked Huotou to make a solution to his hunger, which was still when Xiao Ruxun invited him to eat when he reported on his work in Beijing.
This time to entertain An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, Qi Dayong was also extravagant, and approved the use of oil to cook, sour and hot shredded potatoes, fried bacon, burned a few chickens, and then white rice, a very rough and bold reception banquet.
"During the march, Your Majesty stipulates that the army is not allowed to drink, otherwise even the generals will be severely punished according to military law, I dare not drink, and it is inconvenient for the two to drink, so replace the wine with tea, and it should be a banquet."
In Qi Dayong's tent, An Jiangchen and Song Chengen expressed their gratitude to Qi Dayong together, and gave Qi Dayong a cup in return, expressing their gratitude for his invitation.
The people in the army don't talk so much, so let's be polite and eat.
Qi Dayong eats boldly, or Qin Jun eats very boldly, paying attention to fighting hard and fighting with all his strength to train and eat with an open stomach, because even if he doesn't fight, the amount of training is also very large, and he can't stop training except for his shifts.
As a general, Qi Dayong should set an example for the whole army, train with the army, and play an exemplary and leading role, including all officers, should not let the recruits think that they can be lazy when they become officers, and they must train no less than ordinary soldiers.
Therefore, Qi Dayong's meal is particularly large.
An Jiangchen and Song Chengen, as the descendants of the Tusi family, received elite education since childhood, and lived a life of fine clothes and fine food, although they have martial arts training because of family factors, but they can't be compared with people born in the army at all, they are all noble sons and other characters who grew up reading four books and five classics.
Seeing Qi Dayong throwing off his arms and eating and drinking, both of them looked shocked.
Looking at the very bold dishes in front of him, it is too far from the food carefully cooked by the famous chefs he ate in the past.
But the other party is an important general of Great Qin, and he can meet the Emperor of Great Qin in person, and it is very important to have a good relationship with him, not to mention that this is a normal meal, even if it is rancid, they have to pinch their noses and eat it, and it is best to have nothing left.
However, these dishes look a little scary, but they are unexpectedly good when eaten in the mouth, especially the plate of yellow strips, which are delicious in the mouth, sour and spicy make them instantly have the desire to eat.
However, their amount of food can't be compared with Qi Dayong, who is as strong as a big buffalo, and they can't eat it for a long time, and Qi Dayong is still eating meat over there, and the corners of An Jiangchen and Song Chengen's eyes twitch.
Finally, when he was full, the jar of rice was eaten, and several large dishes were also eaten, and there was only a little soup left, so he patted his stomach with satisfaction and took a sip of tea.
"Haha, the two of you laughed, we have a lot of consumption in the army, and we eat a lot, so it's a little indecent to eat, don't blame the two."
It's a completely different thing to say than to eat.
The two secretly slandered themselves.
But he didn't dare to say it, and he only said things like 'the general is arrogant, I admire him', which is more elegant than the literati of the Han family.
After that, An Jiangchen and Song Chengen thought that there would be some other programs such as singing and dancing, but after thinking about it, the military regulations of the Qin army were so strict, how could there be women allowed in the army?
So what kind of show will it be?
In their expectant eyes, Qi Dayong walked up to them and sent them to the door of the tent, and the banquet ended.
A dinner invitation is a dinner invitation, a simple meal, this is the rule in the army, otherwise what else do you want?
Qi Dayong said that the comings and goings in our army are so direct, and there is nothing else mixed in with it, you think too much.
Drop-off, go, end.
