1. "These...... Are they all eaten by the soldiers on weekdays? Belus wondered.

"Not bad." Xia Hongsheng pointed with chopsticks and introduced: "This is cucumber, this is cabbage, this is some plums, this is beef, this is pork...... These vegetables, fruits, and meat are made before departure, and can be kept fresh for half a year. Even if it is half a year apart, it can still be eaten as new when it is taken out. When the soldiers are out on the battlefield, the military rations are single, and they will be undernourished. These are all kinds of things that replenish the body's needs, so that the soldiers can keep their bodies strong and healthy. This bowl is made of cow and goat's milk, and when it is needed, it only needs to be taken with warm water to quickly fill the stomach and restore physical strength. If you feel that only the milk of cows and goats is bland, you can also add some meat floss - it is the thing in this plate, it is made of pure meat, and the plate of meat floss in front of His Highness, soaked in the boiled milk powder and drunk, is like eating such a piece of meat the size of a bowl. On the battlefield, this milk powder and meat floss are mixed together, poured into the water bladder, no need to get off the horse, swallow directly, just a few large mouthfuls, just like drinking a few bowls of milk, eating a few large pieces of beef, you can recover your strength in the blink of an eye. ”

Xia Hongsheng spared no effort to introduce the benefits of these Tang military rations.

"In addition to the daily meals made in the army, the soldiers will distribute a box of vegetables and fruits every three days, and a box of meat every five days to eat. to replenish all kinds of nutrients needed by the body. Especially at sea, with these fruits and vegetables that can be stored for a long time, there is no longer a fear of getting sick from the ship. Xia Hongsheng continued: "With these things, the soldiers can also change their taste when they eat, the living conditions will not be so difficult, the mood will be much better, the morale will be much better, and the body can also be kept strong and healthy, so that the combat strength can be guaranteed." ”

Xia Hongsheng picked up a piece of cucumber and put it in front of Belus: "Your Highness taste it." ”

Belus picked it up and put it in his mouth, and suddenly felt a sour aroma, but it was very delicious, and when he chewed it, it was crisp and crisp, and his mouth was full of relish.

The Persian prince's eyes lit up: "The taste is very crisp and delicious!" - This thing has really been sitting on for months?! ”

Xia Hongsheng smiled and didn't say anything, just nodded.

"It's amazing how long it can be left out and still retain its taste and taste without spoiling!" Belus picked up a few other things and tasted them, and said in surprise: "It's really ...... to get this kind of military ration in the army However, according to Xiao Wang, this milk powder and meat floss are more useful in the army. ”

Belus did not understand the importance of vitamins to the human body, but he knew how important it was to be able to quickly fill his stomach and recover his strength without dismounting from his horse, so as to maintain long-lasting combat strength.

"Indeed, milk powder and meat floss are of great use in the army, and the soldiers are cut off from food and grass, and they can survive for months with only milk powder and meat floss." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said: "These long-term preserved vegetables and fruits are even more important at sea, whether it is a warship or a merchant ship, they are afraid of ship diseases at sea. With these, there is no need to worry about getting sick on board. ”

When Belus heard this, he tasted this and that with a new curiosity, and at the same time thought about it, but said no more.

Xia Hongsheng and the others accompanied Belus to eat and drink, and then sent Belus to rest.

After sending Belus back to the big tent, Fang Yiai asked as soon as he entered: "Chief, why did you ignore the law of secrecy as soon as you came up, and leaked all the artillery and steam engine ships, as well as mines and our military rations to Nabelus?!" ”

Li Yexu patted him and said with a smile: "Why haven't you understood yet, the chief manager is ready to make a lot of money from Persia again!" ”

"That's it, even I can see it!" Cheng Chumo said to him: "Where will our artillery be so easy to explode now?" There are also mines, which have long been pulled by hand without people hiding next to them. The Grand Governor must be ready to sell the old things that were replaced before to the Persians! Am I right, Brother Sheng? ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "Not bad." Whether it's a steam engine or a ship, or artillery, these things can't be hidden. As long as Belus is here, he can see it at a glance. It's better to take the opportunity to get him interested in these things, and sell them when the time comes, and also put those obsolete old things to use. ”

"Those cans are going to be sold to them." Li Ye said with a smile.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Whether it is in the army or businessmen, the Persian country needs these, such a big market, what a pity to lose!" It only needs to be supplied to Persia at that time is a few grades lower than that used by our Datang itself. ”

"Brother Sheng'er deserves to be the first Jia in Chang'an, and this business is lively." Li Chongyi laughed and said: "It's a pity that we weren't in Chang'an at the beginning, otherwise, we would also join this canned gang." ”

Everyone laughed, and Xia Hongsheng said again: "Okay, this time it's really a coincidence." The manpower brought by Belus is known as the elite of the undead group. This Persian immortal regiment is the elite of the elite of the Persian army, which is kept at 10,000 all year round, one less person makes up for one, as long as the essence is not too much. The status in Persia is just like our Datang Blade and the Marine Corps. Come to think of it, it won't be incompetent. It shouldn't be difficult to let them blend in with the Great Food Army. ”

Actually, Belus is not bad. To supply hundreds of thousands of horses and horses, there must be a lot of grain and grass. It's not easy to burn them all. Li Yexu said: "And the smell of our oil is not small, I'm afraid that although we will feign a strong attack at that time, if the big cannibal finds something wrong, or finds that it is on fire and quickly rescues it, it will not have time to burn a lot." And if they burn less, they will not hurt the foundation of the food army on the other side, but they will learn a lesson, and they will be more strict with grain and grass in the future. ”

"It's true." Xia Hongsheng nodded and said, "However, don't forget, the main force of our operation this time is General Su and them." No matter what means we use, it is to create opportunities and conditions for General Su. Burning cannibalistic grain and grass, no matter how much it burns, will greatly shake the morale of the army, one of them. And when the grain and grass are burned, the Great Food will definitely be resentful, and will think that we have no other way, so they will take the risk of burning the grain and grass, and they will inevitably think that they still have the advantage, and when the time comes, they will attack our side even more frantically, and we will be able to attract more attention from the Great Food Army. This is the second one. If a lot of grain and grass are burned away, it will be better. Even if it doesn't burn much, but the big cannibal has learned a lesson, and will be more wary of us in the future, and will keep a closer eye on our side, naturally, there will be some relaxation behind their backs, and General Su and they will be more likely to be surprised. Thirdly. ”

"With these three, it will be easier for General Su to succeed, and our goal will be achieved." Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "As for the grain and grass that destroys the big food, it is secondary. ”
