At the beginning of the establishment of the Tuanshan Army, one of the military regulations formulated by Zhang Li was that it was forbidden to drink alcohol during wartime. However, later circumstances made Zhang Li give up this article, even if the prohibition was only limited to wartime, but it could not be implemented in Liaodong at all.

The reason is that Liaodong during the Xiaoice River period is too cold, and the soldiers often need to drink a little wine to keep out the cold, after all, they cannot hide in the house like a large family to roast the fire.

Sometimes, some modern concepts are not necessarily right, and it is better to be "down-to-earth". Zhang Zhang personally ordered people to build several wine-making workshops in Tuanshan Fort, specializing in supplying military wine.

In fact, before Zhang Zhang came to Liaodong, it was impossible for ordinary soldiers to drink alcohol at all, which was a privilege only for generals and colonels above the general banner. Grain was already very scarce at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so how could it be used to make wine? Even if some of it is used for sake brewing, the end result is that the price of sake is particularly high.

After understanding the special needs of Liaodong and the need for soldiers to drink alcohol to keep out the cold, Zhang Li took a lot of thought about the materials for winemaking, and finally chose corn as a crop.

Liaodong is not very suitable for planting corn, but Shandong is different, the climate there is much warmer than Liaodong, so Lu Xiangsheng promoted the planting of corn on a large scale in Shandong.

The corn produced in Shandong is not suitable for human consumption due to the lack of time for seed selection and breeding, because the taste is really not good. Therefore, the two major uses of corn are as a ration for livestock and poultry, and as a raw material for winemaking.

Just like the glass of wine in the wine glass in Zhang Li's hand at this moment, it is corn wine.

After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Zhang said to Kang Xing'an, who was standing on the side: "Anzi, why don't you have a cup too?" ”

Kang Xing'an licked his tongue. But he shook his head like a rattle: "My lord, my subordinates have already had dinner before." ”

Zhang Li saw that Anzi refused. didn't persuade again, but changed the topic: "Who is in charge of the night guard tonight?" ”

Yasuko immediately replied: "The first half of the night was the chief soldier of Izawa. In the second half of the night, it was General Pan. ”

Zhang Zhang nodded, these two people are fierce generals in the Tuanshan army, and they don't have to worry about the night attack of the Qing army. Besides, the scout team of Yesheng has been monitoring the vicinity of the Qing army's camp, and as long as the Qing army has a disturbance, their side will soon know about it.

At this moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "My lord, the special flying eagle has passed the book!" ”

With a "snap", the chopsticks in Zhang Li's hand fell on the desk!

There were not many cases of the Tuanshan Army using the Flying Eagle to pass the book. It is generally not used in cases that are not particularly urgent. Later, Zhang Li divided the Flying Eagle Biography into four levels, namely the special grade, the first grade, the second level and the third grade. This super-level Flying Eagle Messenger Regiment Mountain Army had never been used before, and it was only used for the highest level of emergency. Even the various information transmitted by the Jingshi when the Ming Dynasty died was only a mere second-level at that time.

What kind of information can be worthy of the Special Flying Eagle Legend?!

In the entire Tuanshan Army, only three people had the power to issue this super-grade flying eagle herald. The first is the base camp Jinzhou, the second is Shandong Lu Xiangsheng, and the third is Chen Zhengcao, the commander of the regimental landscape division.

Only these three places can be sent, what is the major problem?!

Zhang Zhang couldn't wait to open this super-secret letter, and Kang Xing'an raised his heart to his throat. His eyes widened and he stared at tension.

Zhang Li's hand holding the letter trembled slightly, and in the end, his face became more and more ugly - with a snap, Zhang Li slapped the letter on the desk. In an unprecedentedly stern tone, he said to Kang Xing'an: "Anzi, call Gao Yuanliang immediately!" ”

Kang Xingan knew that the situation was serious, so how could he dare to ask more, and he even forgot his promise. Instead, he spread his legs and ran out.

……

Wonsan Port.

It was one of the best ports in North Korea and the largest port city on the east coast of North Korea. The DPRK currently has two high-quality ports. On the west coast is the port of Busan, and on the east coast is the port of Wonsan. As for the port of Gunsan where Zhang Zhang landed at the beginning. It can only be regarded as a small port, and later after the Tuansan Army conquered Seoul, the replenishment of materials and troops was all to go to Busan Port.

It's already the middle of the night, but the docks at Wonsan Port are brightly lit and busy. A large number of ships docked at the berths of the docks, and porters came and went from the ships to carry supplies, including food, firearms, ammunition, swords, and even cannons......

The original yamen of Wonsan Port was quite spacious, and now it is written in Manchu, Chinese, and another script, the words "Guarding the Imperial Palace" - because it is planned that it will become a very important supply line for life in the future.

The Imperial Hall is divided into two large complexes, the left and right, and the main hall is located on the central axis, which is also a place for deliberations. However, at this moment, there was no one in the main hall, but the two courtyards on the left and right seemed very noisy.

At the gate of the courtyard on the left stood a group of pigtailed soldiers, heavily guarded. Further inside, in a wing room, the right governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Kong Youde, who had been absent for a long time, was sitting on the Taishi chair drinking hot tea. And Kong Youde's subordinates bowed down and stood alone, and if you take a closer look, it is Hong Chengchou's henchman butler - Hong Antong.

"Housekeeper" is Hong Antong's identity in the Ming Dynasty, after all, no matter how good Hong Chengchou is, it is impossible for his henchmen to become officials without passing the imperial examination. But after Hong Chengchou and Lord Hong voted for "I Daqing", everything was naturally different. There is a saying that "if one person gains the Tao, the chicken and the dog ascend to heaven", the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not implemented any imperial examinations now, and it is not too easy to give an official position to a confidant by the means of Lord Hong.

Hong Antong's current position is a member of the Manchu military department, this official is a hot Beijing official in the Ming Dynasty, but he has no real power in the Manchu Dynasty.

However, it doesn't matter if there is no real power on the surface, Hong Antong's backer is Taishi Hong Chengchou, even if he is sealed as a "Bi Ma Wen", it is also fragrant!

Since Hong Antong came to "My Great Qing", he has naturally been above the top, and except for Allah, ordinary Han generals have not paid attention to it at all - this is not surprising, the generals of the Han Eight Banners have not had time to scold him, and who dares to offend him?

However, Kong Youde is different, Kong Youde is Hong Chengchou's most relied on number one general, which is what Lord Hong wants to use as a gunman, so Hong Antong does not dare to hold up in front of Kong Youde, just like at this moment - his face is respectful, standing with his hands down, and there is a flattering smile on his face.

After Kong Youde drank tea comfortably for a long time, he asked lightly: "Lord Hong, have you arranged all the people in the west?" (To be continued.) )
