Chapter 348: Angry reprimanding the generals

At that time, his father, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight in the south and the north, and made immortal contributions, only one defeat.

In the Ming Dynasty, there is a piece of the hard work of their Xu family, not to mention that the current emperor Zhu Di is his brother-in-law, and the two families share weal and woe.

But after inheriting the title and entering the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, things didn't get much done, but such a situation appeared in the army, and what was even more shameful was that he didn't know it before, Xu Huizu only felt very ashamed in his heart.

Although he didn't know what would become of the Ming Dynasty in the future, Xu Huizu knew that he was absolutely unwilling to let the Ming army be corrupted day by day.

Looking at the nobles of the past dynasties, which one can fall into the good in the new dynasty after the fall of the imperial court?

Except for the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they originally relied on the same group of people to get started.

Zhu Di sat here, drank a pot of tea, and then gave another order.

"Stand up, all of you."

Zhu Di looked at these people in front of him, his thoughts were very complicated, these were all the foundations left by Zhu Yuanzhang for him and his old brothers when he was the king of Yan.

Huaixi Xungui, naturally there is no need to say much, they are all related to Zhu Di, as for the generals who came to the capital with him, they all followed him to fight the Northern Yuan Dynasty back then, and they were born and died, and someone in them even saved Zhu Di's life.

Zhu Di is really a little ruthless, but as the Son of Heaven, he is absolutely not allowed to be soft-hearted, and if such a situation occurs in the army, he will definitely be ruthlessly cleansed.

is like Zhu Yuanzhang, when he used the knife against Huaixi Xungui, he didn't blink his eyes, and he killed a batch of rotten people.

But Zhu Di can't do this way, he is not Zhu Yuanzhang after all, after a moment of silence, Zhu Di said slowly.

"Someone, go get some dried meat!"

didn't let Zhu Di wait too long, and soon a waiter brought the dried meat.

Zhu Di just glanced at it, then waved his hand and knocked the plate to the ground, and scolded angrily.

"Is this what I want? I've taken it down and changed it! ”

The waiter who brought up the dried meat was at a loss, and everyone was stupid, but fortunately, some of the eunuchs on the side followed Zhu Di from the Yanwang Mansion to the palace, followed Zhu Di to the battlefield, and knew what Zhu Di wanted.

Quietly walked over to the chamberlain and commanded.

"Just go get those air-dried jerky."

"Ah, Ancestor, this kind of jerky is so hard......"

"You don't understand, let you go, you will go."

The chamberlain was a little dazed, but he still honestly obeyed the words of the great eunuch, and hurriedly ran to the imperial dining room again to fetch a few large pieces of air-dried jerky.

Zhu Di took the jerky this time, picked a piece from it, and distributed the rest of the jerky to others.

Zhu Di took the jerky and asked the generals in front of him.

"Some of you have never eaten anything like this since you were young, right? As for those of you who followed me all the way to Beijing from Beiping, I'm afraid you haven't eaten since you entered Beijing, right? ”

The generals were a little stunned, but nodded anyway.

This kind of jerky is the best military food in the army, and when Zhu Yuanzhang was on the Northern Expedition, the army was gnawing on such military food.

And when Zhu Di led the Yanwang Sanwei to fight with the Mongols, he was also gnawing on such military rations.

This thing was originally made after the military rations of the Mongols, and it was not even an elite, and it was not enough to eat such military rations, so it was all meat.

Ordinary soldiers were only worthy of eating bread, and only cavalry and officers were allowed to eat jerky.

But the dried meat is really unpalatable, and the dried meat at this time has no other taste except for being soaked in heavy salt.

When eating, it's okay if you can bury the pot to cook, with some wild vegetables, it is a pot of fragrant broth, but if you can't bury the pot to cook, then you can only eat dry.

This kind of dried meat tastes not good at all, you have to drink water all the time, and sometimes you can't even bite it, you can only bite it slowly.

If you are in a hurry, you may even cut your throat.

But when there is a war, how can there be so much time to bury the pot and cook?

Most of the time, it's just a dry meal and a quick deal to deal with.

Such a thing, after entering Beijing, who of the generals of the original border army will have nothing to do to eat this thing?

As for a noble like Xu Huizu, it is impossible to come into contact with this kind of food.

There are more delicacies from the mountains and seas in Beijing, so I say that He Qiu is alone, how many new foods will be tossed out? Which of these is not better than this jerky, who will find guilt for themselves if they are fine?

Zhu Di just silently chewed the jerky, ripped off the shredded meat on it little by little, and swallowed it in his stomach.

"Let's all try it with me, you haven't eaten it before, you should also taste it, otherwise when you march in the future, will you have to bring a bunch of cooks?"

When this group of generals heard Zhu Di say this, how dare they stab them, they hurriedly took the jerky and hurriedly stuffed the jerky into their mouths.

Some people have never eaten this kind of thing before, and it seems very unbearable, but some people seem to have forgotten how to eat this kind of thing, and they are also quite embarrassed.

Zhu Di didn't care about them, he just looked at them coldly and ate his own silently.

Finally, after everyone had finished eating the jerky in their hands, Zhu Di spoke.

"Isn't it unpalatable?"

"I don't need to say anything, I know in my heart that it's just not delicious. But this is already quite good military food in the army, and ordinary soldiers can't eat it if they want to!

What's more, every time we go out to fight, who doesn't eat this? It was eating such a thing that your fathers defeated the Great Yuan, entered the capital, and completely beat the Mongols back to their hometown, and they don't dare to blow up until now! ”

"You must not forget the past." Speaking of this, Zhu Di paused and said, "You all take off your official uniforms!" ”

Seeing that the generals in front of him were a little stunned, Zhu Di said impatiently.

"I've stripped my shirt!"

Xu Huizu, Zhang Yu and others silently took off their tops, and the generals who were a little flustered could only follow suit, take off their shirts, and expose their chests.

Zhu Di approached Zhang Yu's side, Zhang Yu's figure has been maintained very well, his muscles are knotted, but there are two extremely long scars on his chest, and more than a dozen arrow wounds.

Zhu Di patted Zhang Yu on the shoulder and said.

"The arrow wound near the chest was left by you when you followed me to fight Yishiha, right? You almost lost your life that time. ”

Zhang Yu's face was a little blushing, and he said abruptly.

"The minister is nothing, the minister knows that His Majesty's wounds are no less than the minister's."

Zhu Di looked at these people in front of him, but all the people who followed Zhu Di to fight the Northern Yuan in Beiping, which one was not a scar?

Even he has a lot of wounds on his body, and now that he is in the prime of life, he doesn't feel anything, but Zhu Di knows that these scars will definitely be found on him in a new way in the future.

These generals are the same, otherwise why don't generals usually live long enough?

Isn't it because of such an illness that you are suffering?

Zhu Di thought of this, his eyes were a little red, he quickly turned his head, he didn't want these people to see his weak side, but when he turned around, who couldn't see it?
