Three hundred and forty-three heavy rain and chili peppers
In the past few decades, Mang Yingli has no hesitation about the battle he wants to do, he doesn't believe that he will be defeated, he doesn't believe that he will be defeated by others, he only believes that he is invincible, his nation and the rise of his country are in accordance with the Mandate of Heaven, and the Mandate of Heaven is on his side, so even if it is a behemoth like Daming, he dares to attack, although he has not even fought a province of Daming.

Maybe in his consciousness, Daming is as big as Yunnan, Guangdong, and Guangxi combined, right?
So when Xiao Ruxun, a wolf from the north, went south, he was obviously uncomfortable, he began to panic, began to doubt, began to question himself, and finally decided to leave the victory and future to God through a battle, and let God judge to decide who should rise and who is destined to become a stepping stone.
Xiao Ruxun has always believed that intelligence is the key to determining the outcome of a war, and a considerable degree of intelligence will be obtained before the war, and after in-depth research and exploration, the tactics will be decided.
Therefore, he searched for local information about the climate, terrain, harmful species and common diseases, etc., trying to ensure the safety of the army, and also sent people to follow Siam's intelligence officers to the Burmese border to search for relevant information.
Since it takes time to run in and start a war, it takes time to search for intelligence, polish tactics, and adapt to the climate, Xiao Ruxun gave the 30,000 Ming army enough time to adapt to the local climate, especially when it rains, it is now summer, and the rain in Siam is heavy and long, fortunately, Xiao Ruxun has prepared a lot of oil paper to preserve gunpowder, otherwise the gunpowder will be wet.
Xiao Ruxun is very sure that if it suddenly rains during the battle, then the blow to the firearms unit is quite large, so while the firearms unit trains firearms, Xiao Ruxun will also give each of them a sword or saber, once the firearm can not be used, immediately become a swordsman to participate in hand-to-hand combat, and the gunner because the artillery is bulky and cannot retreat in time, so he asks the gunner to protect the gunner to retreat.
Once it rains, Xiao Ruxun feels that not only the air and the house, but even the bed he uses is damp, this moisture is pervasive, making people unable to move, once it rains heavily, the barracks of the Ming army will become small ponds, many places will be flooded, and the barracks will be infiltrated by water, in this regard, King Narui Xuan said that he can't help it, when it rains heavily, Siamese soldiers, including Europeans, are the same crime.
Unless you live in a city, that's better.
Xiao Ruxun still refused, and chose to share weal and sorrow with the soldiers in the barracks, which was very popular with the soldiers, considering the physical needs of the soldiers, Xiao Ruxun put a large amount of Shu pepper and chili pepper prepared before into the soldiers' food, so that the soldiers could get rid of the moisture accumulated in the body by eating spicy food, so as not to get sick.
Speaking of this, Xiao Ruxun also thinks it's a little funny, the pepper has been introduced from overseas in the Yuan Dynasty, as a flower planting ornamental, to the Ming Dynasty, pepper is still an ornamental plant, and it is not used as food, to not no one has tried it, but the taste is too exciting, some people suspect that the pepper is poisonous, so they dare not eat it, at this moment in China, if you want to taste the spicy taste, mainly rely on Shu pepper, that is, Sichuan pepper.
Xiao Ruxun in Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces have found that some people plant peppers as ornamental flowers, the price is not high, because there are not too many people like, so they plant for fun, Xiao Ruxun to inquire who has a large number of planted peppers, and did not find much, and then they bought all the peppers in their hands, and then bought a large number of Shu peppers by the way, which is the idea of eating spicy peppers for soldiers to remove moisture.
At the beginning, when the soldiers smelled the rather pungent and spicy dishes and soups, they were still a little uncomfortable and did not dare to eat the things here, and some people who had eaten Shu pepper said that it was spicy, which was normal, and then took the lead in trying it, but they were stimulated by the spicier and more exciting taste than Shu pepper, and quickly asked what it was, why it was so spicy and so exciting.
As a result, these Ningxia soldiers were ridiculed by Xiao Ruxun, and then everyone was stunned to watch Admiral Xiao Ruxun eat spicy dishes and drink spicy soup, and then sweat wildly, wipe his forehead, after eating and drinking, he sucked his lips and exhaled, looking at his red ears under the sweat like rain, it seems to be really enjoyable!
After the initial stimulation, they felt like there was a fire burning in their bodies, burning, burning and burning the moisture and depressed breath accumulated over the past few days were burned out, sweating like rain, red faces and red ears, and the whole person was like Xiao Ruxun while sucking his lips while exhaling, eating and drinking wildly, as if he had enjoyed something particularly delicious.
With the Ningxia soldiers taking the lead, other soldiers were not willing to lag behind, the southern soldiers and wolf soldiers began to try to eat spicy, some people had eaten the spicy taste of Shu pepper, and felt that this spicy taste was more exciting, but it was not that they couldn't accept it, some people had never eaten spicy since birth, and the old man who spit out his tongue with a spicy feeling on his back said that he was about to breathe fire, and then laughed at each other.
In the end, eating and eating out of the ruthlessness, compared to eating and eating, eating and eating and eating out of the taste, Ningxia soldiers first fell in love with this feeling, and then the fierce wolf soldiers, but also loved this taste Don't want it, and finally it was the southern soldiers of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong who accepted this spicy taste, and in a short time, 30,000 main forces began to accept this spicy diet.
However, Xiao Ruxun did not have many chili peppers in reserve, and there were not many of them sold in the market, and they were gone after eating them in a few days, and the soldiers were a little dissatisfied, and they were not used to eating the spicy taste, so they began to protest and make trouble, which made Xiao Ruxun cry and laugh, so he had to ask Siam if there were any chili peppers for sale, Narui Xuanwang was stunned and patted his thigh!
Tianbing likes to eat spicy food? That's great! We have this kind of chili pepper in Siam, but there are not many people who like it, because it is too spicy, so it often can't be sold, but those foreigners buy more, and Tianbing likes it? Good! Gift in large quantities and sell at a discount!
So Xiao Ruxun knew that the Siamese pepper in the mouth of King Narui Xuan was the ancestor of the legendary Thai Chaotian pepper, and the spiciness far exceeded that of the Shu pepper produced in the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming army spent the last period of non-war time happily under the double torture of rain and chili peppers.
When the rain stopped and the sky cleared again, the spies who had been sent out returned in a panic and brought back shocking news.
The Burmese took the initiative to attack, and the Burmese crown prince led 300,000 troops to Siam to kill him.
