When Qian Haonan heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

The Great Zhou Tiger Army once created the myth of defeating the 300,000 army of Wu with 50,000 soldiers and horses.

It can be said that it is the elite of the elite!

Not to mention half a year of training, even if it is five or ten years of training, the new army may not be able to compare with them!

However, since Fang Xiang asked, it was not easy to pretend to be stupid.

Qian Haonan hesitated for a while before he said, "Xia Guan thinks that the Tiger Ben Army is stronger." ”

Fang Xiu was not surprised by this answer.

He looked at the military secretary and said:

"To tell you the truth, the reason why Ben Xiang formed a new army is to use it against Zhou and Yan!

If after half a year of training, it is not as good as the Tiger Army, what is the point of forming a new army? ”

Qian Haonan listened, and subconsciously looked at Fang Xiu with a look of disbelief.

He had always believed that the New Army was formed to suppress rebels everywhere.

I never thought that it was to fight against Zhou and Yan!

"Prime Minister Fang, the lower officials think that the military strength of Zhou and Yan is strong, and even if my cadres form a new army, they will not be able to compete with it in a short time."

Fang Xiu said lightly: "If you don't give it a try, how do you know?" ”

"This ......"

Qian Haonan was dumbfounded when he heard this.

It took a while to realize that Fang Xiang was not joking, but really moved his mind.

He looked flustered and persuaded: "Fang Xiang, the lower officials think it is ......."

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Fang Xiu.

"Ben Xiang knows what you want to say, it's nothing more than that it is impossible for the new army to defeat the armies of Zhou and Yan."

"However, the appearance can tell you very clearly!"

"As long as you train the new army according to the method of the original phase, after half a year, with new weapons, not to mention winning the Tiger Army, at least you will not lose!"

Fang Xiu said this very confidently.

was so confident that Qian Haonan had an illusion that the Great Zhou Tiger Army was not so strong.

But!

As the secretary of the military department, he knows better than anyone else.

In fact, the Great Zhou Tiger Army is far more terrifying than rumored!

50,000 people, chasing 300,000 people to kill.

Not everyone can do that!

"Fang Xiang ......"

Qian Haonan opened his mouth, and wanted to persuade again.

Fang Xiu glared at him and said coldly, "Didn't you hear what you said?" ”

Moment.

Qian Haonan closed his mouth and didn't dare to say another word.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu sighed in his heart.

Qian Haonan's thoughts, he can also understand.

In this world without any firearms, no one would believe that a new army that has been trained for half a year can defeat the invincible iron cavalry.

After all, the contest between cold weapons mainly depends on the physical fitness and military quality of the soldiers.

Firearms, on the other hand, are different.

An army with low physical fitness and military literacy can exert extremely high combat power as long as it has enough muskets and artillery, and after simple training!

This is also the reason why Fang Xiu dared to say that he used the new army that had been trained for half a year to fight against the elite Tiger Ben army of the Great Zhou!

"Okay, the prime minister has made up his mind, the new army does not practice weapons, only physical and psychological!"

"In three months, Benxiang wants to see a new army that absolutely obeys orders!"

"I believe you can do it!"

Fang Xiu's sharp eyes stared at Qian Haonan and said.

When Qian Haonan heard this, he hurriedly got up, stood up straight, and saluted:

"The subordinate must live up to the party's trust!"

Fang Xiu nodded, didn't say anything more, waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”

"Retire!"

Qian Haonan saluted again and turned to leave.

Fang Xiu looked at his back, secretly thinking in his heart.

The autumn harvest is just around the corner.

There is enough food.

The development of flintlock pistols and Furlong cannons should also be put on the agenda!

............

Great Zhou, Imperial Palace.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhou Huang Li Ming looked at the food box in front of him, with a smile on his face, and said, "I didn't expect that one day I would be able to eat the dishes made by the imperial sister, it's really rare!" ”

Opposite side.

Li Yingyue's expression was cold and she didn't say a word.

Emperor Zhou opened the food box, saw the dishes inside, raised his eyebrows, and said:

"Invite Yue, it's not that the imperial brother dislikes it."

"These dishes are only boiled in water, and no seasonings are added, even if you cook it yourself, the imperial brother really can't eat it."

Li Yingyue said lightly: "The minister added the seasoning, and Your Majesty will know it as soon as you taste it." ”

Emperor Zhou glanced at her and said in surprise: "You really made this dish?" ”

Li Yueyue said lightly: "In front of Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to speak falsely. ”

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and instantly realized that there must be something unusual about these dishes!

Otherwise, with his sister's character, it would be impossible to cook it himself and bring it to the palace for him to taste.

"Since the royal sister has said so, I have to taste whatever I say!"

After Zhou Huang finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks in the food box, picked up a piece of boiled chicken, and put it in his mouth.

When the eunuch on the side saw this scene, he was startled, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you haven't tried the food yet!" ”

Emperor Zhou glanced at him and said, "You mean, my sister, will still harm me?" ”

When the eunuch saw Emperor Zhou's eyes, a chill rose in his heart, his legs weakened, and he knelt down directly.

"The slave and the maid have no meaning of this, the slave and the slave should die, the slave and the slave should die!"

Seeing this, Emperor Zhou didn't bother to pay attention to him, put the chicken in his mouth and chewed it.

Chicken touches the tip of the tongue.

An indescribably wonderful taste that swept the taste buds in an instant!

Emperor Zhou's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Not bad! ”

It's just boiled chicken that couldn't be simpler.

He actually tasted the taste of abalone and sea cucumber from it, which was really amazing!

Emperor Zhou swallowed the chicken, picked up another slice of green vegetables, and put it in his mouth.

It even has the taste of abalone and sea cucumber!

Emperor Zhou's eyes widened, and with a look of surprise on his face, he looked at the green vegetables on the plate.

Nothing but green!

There are only greens indeed!

Moment.

Emperor Zhou understood Li Yingyue's intentions, looked at her and said, "These dishes have the same seasoning?" ”

Li Yingyue said: "Yes." ”

Get an affirmative answer.

Emperor Zhou still felt a little surprised.

What a seasoning can turn decay into magic.

Let the bland, tasteless boiled dishes become so delicious.

He thought for a moment and asked:

"This seasoning was developed by the Drunken Flower Pavilion?"

Drunken Flower Pavilion is a shop controlled by Li Yinyue.

It is all over the whole territory of Dazhou, and there are also a small number of branches in Wu and Yan.

Li Inviteyue shook her head and said, "No." ”

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he had basically guessed the reason why this imperial sister who had nothing to do but ascended to the Three Treasures Hall was looking for herself.

It's nothing more than the recipe for this thing, and I want to use the imperial power to exert pressure!

But.

Since this imperial sister was in charge of the Drunken Flower Pavilion, it was the first time in so many years that she wanted to use external forces.

In this way, the owner of this thing is afraid that it will be difficult to deal with.

Come to think of this.

Emperor Zhou said: "Sister Huang, tell me the origin of this thing." ”

Li Yingyue said lightly: "This thing is called monosodium glutamate, which comes from Zhenbao Zhai. ”

"Jumbo Zhai?"

Emperor Zhou was stunned.

It was the first time he had heard of the name.
