Chapter 462: Heaven and Earth Wide (Thanks to Ika Blackstone for the 4500 points)

Although there were only more than 100 people, they were given the number of the brigade, and Tang Sangui was very happy, saying that this was the Heavenly Father's expectation for the Jewish nation.

Therefore, the young men of Guanning Iron Camel are very enthusiastic about fighting with Ming Yuhua 2.0.

However, no matter how high the enthusiasm for the battle is, it is useless.

Because His Majesty the Emperor had an order in advance, that is, in addition to facing Russia, the Kokand Khanate, the Dungan, the Hongfu Khanate, the Ottomans and other forces, even in the face of the Eight Banners, they were not allowed to make a move.

Seeing that the banner people took advantage of the chaos to flee, Tang Sangui hurriedly asked the Chu army to go out.

In fact, I have to say that these flag men are still relatively brave.

At least in the final battle report issued by the Duke of Chu to the Ming court, these bannermen are super brave.

They resisted to the death according to the city, women, children, the old and the weak all wore armor and stubbornly resisted, and the Chu army had no choice but to annihilate them all with random swords.

The battle report is written like this, but what the truth of the matter is, Zhu Fugui is not clear.

After all, not a single soldier of the Ming Dynasty had entered Wuchang City during the whole process, and he was completely ignorant of what happened that night and did not participate.

The only thing that is certain is that since July 29 in the fifth year of Wude, there have been no bannermen in Wuchang Mansion.

Wang Wenshao, the governor of Hunan, set out from Changsha for Wuchang with 13,000 soldiers and horses.

Although in terms of distance, it is much closer to Hubei from Hunan than from Zhejiang to Hubei.

But the situation of Wang Wenshao's troops was worse than Zuo Zongtang's.

He doesn't have the ability of Zuo Zongtang's royal majesty, and he doesn't have enough silver.

The trilogy in his hand, which originally belonged to Tan Tingxiang, was completely contrary to him, the governor of Hunan.

When he arrived near Wuchang, Wang Wenshao only had more than 4,000 people left, and more than half of his troops had lost.

He thought that he probably missed Zuo Gongke's major event in Wuchang this time, but he still didn't dare to slack off, and came to the outside of Wuchang City.

But who knows, he was greeted by the roar of a cannon.

Wang Wenshao thought he had been ambushed.

But then he found that a fat and tall bald donkey had two strange steel cylinders under his armpits, grinning wildly.

"Special mother, this bucket of wealth and happiness is really happy!"

As he spoke, he shoved another steel can under his arm into an extremely stubby mortar.

Then, with another earth-shattering bang, a large bowl of birch forest fell in response.

"Master Bai, take the supernatural powers!"

Zuo Zongtang was wearing the same suit as Wuxue Quan Douhuan (pictured), and hurriedly stopped this kind of wasting gas canisters and accidentally injuring friendly soldiers.

He didn't expect that the peace gas canister that he came out to try sold by Ming Lijian's merchants today, which was only for civilian use, could have such power, and more importantly, he actually met his old friend.

"Kui Shi, the old man has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Zuo Zongtang hurriedly ordered someone to step forward to resolve the misunderstanding and welcomed Wang Wenshao over.

Wang Wenzhao said with a pale face: "Zuo Gong, this warrior just now used the legendary Shenwei Thunderbolt Cannon?" โ€

Zuo Zongtang took Wang Wenshao into his middle tent and said: "Where, where, this is just ordinary goods, used for cooking...... Brother Bai, Brother Bai, hurry up and cook us Lord Wang a bowl of Kang Shuai Fu instant noodles! โ€

Master Bai carried the last gas canister and said with a bitter face: "Sir, we have been eating instant noodles for three days...... In fact, poor monks are better at roasting pork......"

"Don't talk nonsense, just cook noodles when you tell them, don't grind!"

Zuo Zongtang blew his beard and glared at him, and scolded.

Roast pork is delicious, can there be instant noodles delicious?

What's more, if you go to roast pork, how can I pretend to be forced in front of my old friends?

What a rammed!

Wang Wenshao naturally didn't know the key, and tears flowed down his eyes when he heard it.

"Zuo Gong, but the war in Wuchang is unfavorable, and the grain and grass are tight? Foolish brother can eat some somen noodles, it's okay, it's okay, there's no ......"

Wang Wenshao spoke halfway through, only to see the bald donkey skillfully put on an apron, set up the stove, and after connecting the steel cylinder, a blue flame rose on the stove.

The temperature of the flame seemed to be extremely high, and the water in the iron pot stirred up after a short time.

Then the bald donkey took out two packets of colorful things, and tore them apart to make them two breads......

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Instant noodles are not a luxurious thing even in this era.

Even if this pack of Kang Shuai Fu is a luxury plus version, it is just half a braised egg, a few dried shrimps, and a ham sausage in it.

Feudal officials like Zuo Zongtang and Wang Wenshao, no matter how simple they are on weekdays, they will not be unable to eat these.

The real charm of instant noodles lies in those two big, greasy seasoning packets.

In fact, the fresh flavor of the seasoning packets can also be simulated by today's chefs.

They used dozens of old hens to concentrate the soup, and finally they were able to extract a not-so-pure sodium glutamate solution.

The famous boiling water cabbage is based on this principle.

In the Lu cuisine as an official banquet, it is the use of sea intestine grinding powder to make natural monosodium glutamate, which is exclusively for dignitaries, and its umami is the best in the world.

Well, everything is cost-conscious.

In later generations, Sichuan cuisine became the only king to occupy the taste buds of ordinary people with a crushing situation, which shows that except for a few gluttons who take eating as the way, most people have little resistance to heavy taste.

This is not to say that Lu cuisine is not delicious, nor that the techniques of Lu cuisine are not superb enough, but all traditional secret recipes are doomed to failure in the face of modern industry, and they can only occasionally struggle to the death with the concept of environmental protection and health preservation.

In Shanghai's Ming Lijian Concession, there are already several restaurants of "Xinfeng Traditional Cuisine", mainly serving Ming sailors and local wealthy people in Shanghai.

The "traditional Xinfeng cuisine", which has a history of about three or four years, has become an unstoppable mudslide in the catering industry of the magic capital.

What local dishes, Huaiyang dishes, Lu dishes, and palace dishes, that can't stop the addition of MSG + Ming food halo.

What is Advanced?

Order a spicy tang at the Ming restaurant in Lujiazui, eat a string of incense, and drink a bottle of Fugui Cola, which is called high-end.

And now, this prestige has been seamlessly transplanted to the barracks.

Even if it is an illiterate Qiu Ba, as long as he can boil water, he can make a high-end Ming-style cuisine.

How could such a luxurious life not make Zuo Zongtang happy and couldn't help showing off!

He has never fought such a rich battle in his life!

Looking at Wang Wenshao, a native of Shangyu, Zhejiang, eating Kang Shuaifu, who was eating perverted and spicy tastes, he was reluctant to let go, and he was sweating all over his body, Zuo Zongtang, a Hunan native, couldn't help laughing, and finished the noodles in two bites, and took two mouthfuls of soup.

It's hot and spicy, and it tastes great!

"Let's go, Kui Shi, follow me to see the newly arrived Ming-style equipment of our Chu army!"

Like a child who couldn't help showing off his toys, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but pull up Wang Wenshao, who was still eating noodles and his face was flushed.

ยท

Ten minutes later, Wang Wenshao was stunned and followed Zuo Zongtang into a Rising Sun Geng off-road vehicle.

This kind of car is still a lot short of the performance of the Daming military orchard creeper, but it can finally be driven in the wild.

"Quick, too fast, this is a foreigner, ah no, is it the iron horse of the Ming people?"

Wang Wenshao clung to the guardrail of the off-road vehicle, feeling that the hat on his head was about to fly off.

In fact, this is just his illusion, really talking about speed, this Rising Sun Geng is not as fast as a fast horse.

However, the car's capacity and endurance are not comparable to fast horses.

Zuo Zongtang, as a veteran, actually did not perform much better than Wang Wenshao in the off-road vehicle for the first time three days ago.

But at this moment, he could already snort with disdain at Brother Wang.

"This is indeed the iron horse of the Ming people, but it is also the iron horse of our Chu army, in fact, the old man is also a Ming man, Brother Wang Xian, in the final analysis, you are also a Ming man!"

As he spoke, Zuo Zongtang pulled out a dagger out of nowhere, and before Wang Wenshao could react, he twisted off his braids, "Brother Xian, I know that you are very fond of foreign affairs, but you must know that we are in the blood of Yanhuang and Huang, and we can't become a foreigner in this life, but how can I not be a wise person?" We are originally descendants of the Ming Dynasty, Chinese children! โ€

The broken hair was scattered in the wind at the back of his head, Wang Wenshao was stunned, and then laughed: "Listening to Zuo Gong's words, I suddenly felt that the world is wide, it is extreme, it is extreme, I am a beautiful woman, why am I a thief?" This captive should have been wrenched a long time ago! โ€

"Haha, it's not just you, brother Xian!"

Zuo Zongtang pointed with his hand, and saw that the car had already driven into Wuchang City, and the Chu soldiers on both sides who were wearing ill-fitting camouflage uniforms and looked a little funny were all braided.

They gave a military salute crookedly, "Zuo Shuai!" โ€

Now Zuo Zongtang no longer lets people call himself handsome.

Only Zhu Fugui, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, can be called a marshal, and he can't trespass.

can be a very popular minister, Zuo Zongtang of course has a very high political consciousness.

It's just that he thinks it's worth cheering up and being cautious.

ยท

When I entered Wuchang City, I saw that the Chu army was everywhere on both sides of the road, and the people in cloth clothes were cutting their braids.

Wuchang was to be used as a base camp for the Chu army to enter Shaanxi, so it was natural to completely consolidate its rule.

"Braids without head!"

Zuo Zongtang is much more ruthless than Zhu Fugui, and there is no room for negotiation at all.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty has been poisoning for 200 years, and many ignorant and foolish people have long regarded braids as the things of their ancestors.

In the past three days, more than 100 people have been beheaded because they refused to cut their braids.

Zuo Zongtang even took matters into his own hands on the first day to cut off the head of a Xiucai who constantly scolded Hunan for forgetting his ancestors and the convergence of Hunan bandits and Guangdong bandits.

"The "Yangzhou Ten Diaries" and other books given by the Ming Dynasty, the storyteller will be taught to read it day and night at the waiting place where the braids are cut, if there are still stubborn people, so show off the talent!"

This is the final order given by Zuo Zongtang.

It is not good to punish without teaching, and if you teach it, it is still stubborn, that is, it is unfavorable to deceive my Chu army.

Zuo Zongtang knows, including the mysterious disappearance of the flag man before, this kind of black pot I will carry it, and the benevolent lord you will be the drama, isn't it the reason why Daming canonized himself as the prince of the country and allowed the opening of the mansion?

Lao Zuo is still very compelling about his positioning, and he is happy to be this knife.
