Chapter 284: A Beautiful Future, A Beautiful Present (Page 1/1)
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin and Major Du met smoothly...... Their officers and soldiers were all happy.
Major Du also drove a flock of sheep, which he exchanged with the peasants one after another with cotton and linen in the official warehouse.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin is overjoyed, these days, he has eaten too many canned food and compressed biscuits...... Perhaps in the mouths of those rebels, the canned food and compressed biscuits were simply a delicacy in the world...... But the Imperial Army had enough to eat.
They were willing to trade it for chickens and eggs with local farmers...... Even if it's river fish!
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin thinks that soup made from fresh river fish is ten times better than soup made with canned fish!
By the way, the soldiers of the Marbury Army were trained by the Imperial Army, and even their diet varied a lot...... They had to learn to use spoons because they always drank soup, and a third of the fighters also learned to use chopsticks.
Ivory was considered a luxury item on the island of Liuqiu and in the Great Song Dynasty, but it was a common commodity in the new business district of Marbury...... Many of the soldiers of the Marbury Army brought their own ivory chopsticks!
In the new business district, only the real people at the bottom eat with their hands...... The upper class took pride in using chopsticks.
The batch of live sheep brought by Major Du directly led Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin's saliva out...... Roast the whole sheep, cut it directly with a knife and eat it, that's so beautiful!
Boil mutton soup, add chopped green onions and coriander foam, put more pepper, drink five bowls at once, and sweat through, okay?!
On the night when the two armies converged, it was a festival, and they raised numerous bonfires in the barracks, and roasted them themselves in squads and platoons!
The whole barracks was filled with the smell of roast mutton...... And the rebels outside the barracks, they have no ...... about roasting whole sheep But they are especially fond of compressed cookies.
While the live sheep were happily slaughtered in the barracks of the Imperial Army, the Brahmin high-caste people outside the barracks whispered to their people.
"Since you can't bring animals back from the dead, you are responsible for killing them, and the killer will go to hell and can't get away with it."
"Think about where meat comes from, the cruel shackles and the slaughter of life that make people quit eating meat......"
"The man who buys meat uses his wealth to create violence, the meat eater uses his appetite to create violence, and the butcher binds and kills animals, so there are three forms of slaughter."
"Man cannot get meat without harming living beings, and a person who harms sentient beings will never receive God's blessing. So steer clear of meat! ”
The soldiers in the barracks don't care what they are preaching, and how beautiful the future will be, they all know; And now the food in front of them has aroused their full appetite!
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin and Major Du and their staff officers also ate roasted whole sheep together...... Major Du also brought a low-alcohol coconut blossom wine.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin said enviously: "Your navy is really good...... Shipping can carry too much baggage than our land transportation! ”
He took a sip of wine and ate the lamb that had been cut off with a dagger.
Major Du said proudly: "Our navy has worked hard to sail two two-masted seagoing ships into the inland river, and it is by relying on them that we can now know the latest situation in the country of Marbury, and it is not worth drinking some low-alcohol wine." ”
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin didn't say anything, for a person who drank a lot of alcohol for two or three months, he didn't drink a drop of alcohol, and the taste was unpleasant, and others couldn't understand it.
They listened carefully to the new news that Major Du had received from the two-masted boat that had sailed into the river.
They have new reinforcements for their navy and army?!
That's great...... Their happiness is not that they are afraid that they will not be able to defeat the enemy, but that it shows that the military headquarters of the Federal Empire has been worried about themselves!
Everyone's hearts are warm...... Maybe this is the effect of low-alcohol alcohol?!
The central plain of the Tianzhu Continent has been developed and built for thousands of years...... Previously, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin was secretly unconvinced in his heart that President Wu Dapeng said that the history of civilization here is earlier than that of the Great Song Dynasty...... But on the march, he could really tell from the old buildings that it was steeped in history.
Major Du also said enviously: "Lieutenant Colonel Wang, the battle you fought in the Tianzhu River is so beautiful, it is the proud military feat of the Imperial Army, and it will definitely be written in history!"
Unexpectedly, this strange army of our navy only encountered three or two kittens......"
"The Empire's marines are only used for surprise attacks, not for final problems...... However, by drawing their attention, you are doing our army a great favor! ”
"Hehehe, the trinity of sea, land and air is all about defending the empire and expanding the territory for the citizens of the empire!"
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that this land is handed over to them to manage...... I've already figured out that I'm going to stay here when I retire...... Many of my subordinates think so...... Have you heard of it?
The king of Marbury also hung the flag of the Federal Empire on his palace, but with a blue stripe. ”
Major Du was taken aback and said, "Our empire has directly accepted them as our vassals?" How much burden does that add......"
"I guess not...... It's probably a different kind of alliance than the Ryukyu Kingdom, just closer than the Great Song Dynasty, right? ”
mentioned Da Song, and the two of them stopped talking for a while.
They may have a special affection for the Great Song Dynasty, just like the mentality of many people.
They were all the people of the Great Song Dynasty before, and they had no other feelings for the Great Song Dynasty...... When they became officers of the Liuqiu Guard, and later automatically became officers and citizens of the Great Shang Federal Empire, their feelings for the Great Song became complicated.
They admit that they were previously members of the Great Song Dynasty...... However, they enjoyed being citizens of the Federal Empire even more, even if they retired later.
They may not be used to the Great Song style life, and more importantly, they have full freedom in the land under the control of the Federal Empire!
If you want to go back to the hometown of the Great Song Dynasty, you can go at any time...... Maybe the grown-up eaglet still loves the eagle egg that gave birth to him, but let it go back to live and live in the egg...... That's definitely not going to happen.
Of course, there is still a good impression of Da Song...... There is also anger that he did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Tatar bandits.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Major Du asked to take his army to the east of the army for a protective march.
Major Du believed that the western part of the northbound army was completely safe, but the western part was still uncertain.
Lieutenant Colonel Wang Xuanbin smiled in his heart, he wanted to take the opportunity to get more combat exploits...... He only thinks about retiring after success, but Major Du is very enthusiastic about his military position.
This is, of course, a normal pursuit.
He agreed, and gave them the light cavalry of the Marbury Army, and the two sides agreed to march north together about fifty kilometers apart.
The Central Plains have a long history of development, which provides them with plenty of space.
The roads here are not too smooth, but there are still many roads.
