vs 49 Good salt to taste
When the dock fort was breached, the owner of the dock fort saw that the situation was not good, and quietly slipped away from other directions with his henchmen. Zhang was arrogant and didn't want to kill them all, so he let them go on the grounds of "don't chase after the poor".
Where do the rest of these people know any confidential news? Except for asking the owner of this fort surnamed "Zhang", this dock fort has only been newly built for a short time, and almost nothing has been found.
Now that I think about it, I really regret it.
However, even so, insolence doesn't think it's a big deal. What we need to do now is to "reward the three armies."
In the interior of the dock fort, there is a large flat open space, which is supposed to be the harvest season, used to dry grain. Except for the more than 100 Tianping soldiers who were in charge of duty and watch, the remaining more than 2,000 people gathered in this empty land. They sat together in teams of ten men according to the formation of their troops, and drew hundreds of small circles on the ground.
Naturally, these young men who were born in peasant families were not as particular as learned scholars, but sat on the ground casually, making loud noises, and talking about the upcoming conference meal. Some people recall the days before joining the Yellow Turban Army, and they have an unbearable feeling of looking back.
Indeed, how difficult the life of the people at the bottom of the current Han Dynasty is unimaginable for the arrogance of later generations. To paraphrase a popular saying of later generations, it is really "get up earlier than chickens, eat worse than pigs, dry more than donkeys, and live cheaper than dogs"!
The later generations who sang this song, not to mention compared with the poor people of the Han Dynasty, but also compared with the ordinary civilians in ancient times, the living standards of the two sides are also very different. In the past few months, the arrogance of understanding of this era has become more and more in-depth, and I have thought more than once:
"Living in such a painful environment, if you don't rise up and rebel, you really can't say it!"
Therefore, although the backbone of the "Yellow Turban Uprising" in Taiping Dao are all believers in Taiping Dao, most of the participants are displaced people who have lost their land, and poor people who cannot live under the double oppression of the government and local tyrants.
The force they represent is a people who are already hopeless about the future. This kind of rebellion in despair almost destroyed the entire Han family!
However, Zhang Qiang also did not want such a desperate force to destroy the entire Han Dynasty.
Because these people who lack knowledge do not have the ability to build a new world. After their destruction, all that remains is ruins. As a future person with independent thoughts, Zhang Qiang naturally would not be willing to destroy the Han Dynasty, as the glorious representative of the entire Chinese nation.
Moreover, whether you admit it or not, in the current era, scholars, especially those of the high-ranking families, represent the highest level of productivity in this era. Without their participation, no social organization can successfully develop and grow.
As one of the core disciples of Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao clearly knows that Zhang Jiao, the "great virtuous teacher", is actually a member of the scholars. Before he launched the "Yellow Turban Uprising", he tried his best to attract scholars from all over the world to join. Even after the uprising, Zhang Jiao tried to maintain friendly relations with the powerful clans in various places.
It's just that with the rapid expansion of the number of uprisings, in order to maintain this huge number of troops, the commanders of the Yellow Turban Army in various places had to take matters into their own hands and plunder the local powerful food and weapons to meet the needs of the army.
As a result of this, the local Haoqiang was really pushed to the opposite side of the Yellow Turban Army. As a result, the stronger the plundering of the local tycoons, the faster the expansion of the Yellow Turban Army; However, the Yellow Turban Army in these places will be destroyed faster under the joint attack of the Han army and the powerful private soldiers.
Zhang Mancheng's army in Wancheng, Yingchuan's Bocai army, and Dongjun's Bu Jijun have all been, or are about to embark on, such a road.
However, due to its relatively mild attitude towards the Haoqiang clan, the Tianping Army did not suffer several large-scale sieges during the journey of thousands of miles. This result, in addition to the strength of the Tianping Army itself, which is a hard bone that is not easy to gnaw, also has a lot to do with the fact that the local Haoqiang did not defeat the Tianping Army.
While thinking about the current situation, Zhang Mad looked at the people in front of him with satisfaction. The sturdy soldiers of more than 2,000 people were the capital that participated in the war and chaos in the late Han Dynasty after insolence.
Nearly 100 cauldrons were distributed among the crowd in the open space, exuding bursts of tempting fragrance. Among them, part of it is the rice aroma of millet and wheat rice, and part of it is the meat aroma of pig and sheep. In addition, dozens of large urns placed on one side also waft out of the open mouth of the urn, and wisps of mouth-watering wine aroma waft out.
At this moment, the most restless person was Dian Wei. This guy is burly and has amazing combat power, but his appetite is also beyond ordinary people. Generally speaking, Dian Wei usually eats the meals of four or five strong men alone. Moreover, this man was very hungry for wine and meat, and often said to others:
"If a certain family doesn't eat wine and meat one day, they won't have the strength to do anything that day."
However, Xide Dianwei can not only eat, but also fight. Therefore, Zhang Qiang also deliberately set a rule for him, all heroes who joined the "heavy armor team" will be supplied with wine and meat every day.
In this way, the people who wanted to sign up for the "heavy armor team" almost crowded Dian Wei's dormitory. And in order to prevent too many people from grabbing wine and meat from him, Dian Wei really spent a lot of effort to test these applicants. As a result, until now, the number of "heavy armor" is still only more than 70 people.
Of course, at this moment, Dian Wei did not stay with his subordinates and share wine and meat. All leaders who are more than 100 people long are in the front row, and there is an independent food table.
The food on the dining table was more elaborate and varied than that enjoyed by the soldiers. In addition to the cooked cuts of meat, there are several kinds of vegetables to go with. Even on the dining table of Chen Deng, who was half a guest, there was actually a plate of fish [sashimi].
Chen Deng picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks, dipped his fingers in some salt, glanced at it, and unconsciously admired:
"Clean as jade, white as snow, bright as silver, really good salt! Such a small dock fort actually has high-quality salt that is not inferior to my family, which is really rare! β
As soon as Chen Deng said this, others also noticed this and praised it in amazement. Such a good salt is also the first time for samurai with low backgrounds such as Dian Wei, Yu Ban, and Le Jin!
It was arrogant, and he didn't say anything about this question, but only signaled to the baggage soldiers below that they could distribute large pieces of cooked meat and large bowls of rice to the soldiers. After the "Master Tai" took the lead and blessed the "Eastern Emperor Taiyi", the prelude to rewarding the whole army was opened.
"It's moving!"
After a short celebration ceremony, the soldiers drank wine and ate meat in large bowls of joy. Many people feel the wonderful taste of cooked meat in their mouths and think to themselves:
ββEven if it's a pleasure in the heavenly court, I'm afraid it's just that!
Sometimes, boosting morale is as simple as that. A sumptuous dinner and a few pieces of fat and large pieces of meat made these poor Tianping soldiers full of enthusiasm in their hearts. The morale, which had been reduced by the long march, was immediately greatly recovered after this reward.
The whole reward process lasted from afternoon to night, which lasted for more than an hour. When night fell, the noisy dock fort slowly quieted down. Except for the lights of the first few places in the city, there was silence inside and outside the dock fort.
But five miles away from Dock Fort, there were quite a few people gathered to break the silence.
ps: In my personal opinion, I really can't go through ancient times. If, you don't get a good enough tire.
In terms of the enjoyment of life alone, I feel that Cao Cao's life may not be better than that of a modern commoner. In ancient times, most people lived short-lived, which is an excellent reflection of the poor quality of life.
When you think about sashimi, you think of Japanese specialties. However, this way of eating was really invented by our ancestors. Just like the "θ" in "θι", which originally meant fish and meat cut into thin slices raw. However, this way of eating was no longer popular in China, but spread to Japan and was carried forward by the Japanese.
