Looking at the white mist rising from the can, several young Ming officers and soldiers swallowed their saliva.

A group of people live better than them.

The Ming officers and soldiers took out the cakes, broke them piece by piece, and put them in boiling jars.

In order to hunt down the pirates, these days, the Ming officers and soldiers only carried Qi Guang cake as a food to satisfy their hunger.

According to legend, Qi Guang cake is a kind of field food made by Qi Jiguang when he swept the coastal pirates.

The so-called Qiguang cake is a pancake sprinkled with salt, and after it is baked, it is strung together with hemp rope.

When marching and fighting, it is placed on the waist, which can not only satisfy hunger, but also does not rely on logistics supplies, and is a very good ancient individual field food.

It is more common in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and southern Fujian, and after the Ming army went south to Luzon, Liu Yu noticed this food, greatly promoted it, and gradually popularized the Luzon Ming army.

The students who were imprisoned in the open space watched in horror as the Ming army collected their own food, and they dared not speak out.

Even a few clay pots were collected from the tribe.

Soon the water in the jar boiled completely, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty did not care whether the food was cooked or not, and they came forward with pottery bowls to share the food.

In these angry and frightened eyes, the Ming officers and soldiers devoured it.

In order to hunt down the pirates hiding on the island, the Ming officers and soldiers crossed the beach and into the rainforest, eating bread to satisfy their hunger and picking some wild fruits from the trees when they were thirsty.

For several days, the Ming officers and soldiers did not eat hot food.

After serving the broth, it was naturally devoured.

Lin Xu is not like these big men gobbling up, nibbling on dry cakes and taking a sip of broth, like a young man.

"You guys, starving ghosts are reincarnated, you run the slowest when you kill the enemy, and you eat faster than anyone else when you start eating." A veteran of the armor snorted angrily.

Then he brought Lin Xu a bowl of broth with a smile.

"My lord, don't worry about our rough people, since the brothers went to sea from Luzon, they haven't seen meat for more than two months, let the brothers relieve their hunger tonight." The veteran bared a mouthful of yellowed teeth and smiled.

Lin Xu took the broth, poured it into the clay pot, and walked towards the beach without looking back.

After eating these soup cakes, the Ming officers and soldiers were shocked for a while, and their complexions became ruddy.

Under Lin Xu's instructions, a squad of Ming soldiers began to go to the beach.

The beach is not far from here, but only a mile or two.

The sky was also getting darker, and the Ming army could faintly see a few wooden boats placed on the beachhead, as well as some simple fishing gear.

Before nightfall, the Ming officers and soldiers hurriedly cut down trees.

The sea wind on the beach was howling, and the damp wood could not be burned at all, only bursts of black smoke could be raised.

In the tribal camp, several Ming officers and soldiers who were born with poisoned arrows were also found by the Ming army.

However, most of them were pale, vomited incessantly, and one of them was even unconscious.

For these officers and soldiers who were poisoned with arrows, Lin Xu didn't have a good way.

They can only be cared for in stone houses.

Out of prudence, the Ming army tied up the adult males of all tribes with hemp ropes, while the women and children were pressed into several relatively large stone houses.

At night, a strong wind blew off the sea and blew down all the piles of wood placed by the Ming army on the beach, which made the Ming officers and soldiers scold.

Lin Xu sat beside a slightly dilapidated stone house, gently wiping a delicate fire gun by the moonlight.

A strong wind blew through the camp, and the whistling wind faintly heard the mournful cries of women and the angry scolding of men.

Looking up at a brightly lit stone house in the distance, there were faintly figures shaking.

Lin Xu lowered his head and continued to wipe the pipe, ignoring these anymore.

In the early morning, the salty and wet sea breeze gently blew through Lin Xu's swarthy face.

He got up slowly, and subconsciously clenched the fire gun grip in his hand.

The bonfire not far away had long since been extinguished, and several officers and soldiers on patrol had long since disappeared.

"Get it all up for me." Lin Xu angrily kicked a soldier.

In the sound of Lin Xu's cursing, the seven or eight Ming officers and soldiers who were around the bonfire woke up.

"Let's see, those raw things." Lin Xu pointed to the soldiers who woke up first.

The man was clearly not awake yet, and staggered over.

Looking at the officers and soldiers in front of him, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel a trace of anger.

Fortunately, no one in the camp escaped, yesterday experienced a massacre, plus there was no food, one by one collapsed on the ground in decadence, and even the Ming officers and soldiers came to check and did not react.

"Why is it so early?" The old soldier had come out of nowhere.

was looking at Lin Xu with a smile on his face, but the armor he was wearing on his body was nowhere to be seen.

Lin Xu glanced at the veteran with some disgust, and forcibly held back the anger in his heart.

He did not pursue the dereliction of duty of several officers and men of the Ming army patrol last night.

Instead, he instructed the soldiers who woke up to gather all the dry wood in the camp.

The island is always exposed to a salty and wet sea breeze, and last night the humid climate prevented the wood from igniting.

Lin Xu gritted his teeth and concentrated most of the timber in the camp on the beach.

These are dried firewood that is hoarded and used to light a campfire to cook food on a humid sea breeze.

Unexpectedly, these stored firewood were taken out by Lin Xutong.

Soon, a billowing black smoke poured into the sky from the beach, and it could be seen even from the camp a mile or two away.

Until noon on the second day, a two-masted bird boat slowly appeared on the sea.

The boat docked not far from the coast, and a Ming sergeant with good water nature swam onto the bird boat.

Then the bird ships sailed away, and on the third day, two Ming three-masted warships arrived near the coast.

Two squads of Ming officers and soldiers landed on the beachhead, and at this moment Lin Xu and thirty Ming soldiers had been guarding here for five days.

"My lord, we failed to pursue the pirates, encountered the siege of Tufan, and were exterminated by us, beheaded more than 170 Tufan, captured more than 500 people, and killed three of our soldiers." Lin Xu reported to a co-president.

The co-chair glanced at the neatly arranged Tufan heads on the beach, which had rotted and stinked for several days.

The Ming army adopted the first-level merit system, a shengfan head can be exchanged for three taels of silver, ten heads can be promoted to the middle level of the army, and the head of the red-haired ghost can even be exchanged for twenty taels of silver, and three heads can be promoted to one level.

The main reason why Lin Xu, as a local Han people in Luzon, was promoted to vice president in just half a year was that he killed three Spanish gunners with three arrows in the battle of Laoag with his superb archery skills, and directly dumbed down an eagle gun position on the city tower.

With several combat exploits, plus two dozen silver points, this is the deputy co-president.

This is quite remarkable for the Ming officers and soldiers who were born in the Han people of Luzon.

The co-organizer covered his nose in disgust, turned his head and said to the officers and soldiers behind Lin Xu.

"Meritorious service will naturally be rewarded, and the book of impermanence will be recorded, so bury these heads for me quickly." The co-chair gestured to the rotting skull.

The so-called book of impermanence is the merit book used by the Ming military cooperation class.

It is to record the merits and mistakes of officers and soldiers when they were in the army, such as how many lives did you cut in today's battle, and did you rush to the front?

Meritorious service will naturally be recorded, and at the end of each month, the reward for the reward should be given, and the promotion should be promoted to the military rank.

But there are meritorious deeds, and there are more records of the mistakes of the officers and soldiers in the book, such as those who escaped from the battlefield were recorded, the whole squad was punished, and the squad leader was beheaded.

If there is a person who is ineffective in fighting, the whole class will be exempted and reduced by one month.

The merits and demerits of the officers and men are recorded in this book.

Because the Ming officers and soldiers, especially the Lu Zhenjun under Liu Yu, were too harsh, the Ming officers and soldiers also called this book the book of impermanence.

And each book of impermanence is generally in the hands of a deputy co-president.

And Lin Xu happened to have a book of impermanence in his hand.
