"Give me some more cumin."

Pork is fried in butter and sprinkled with cumin and the scent of Asian paprika hits people's noses, and as the largest army leader on the riverside, Ying Ming has enough authority to sit in the middle and dictate to everyone.

Beside him, the knights of the vanguard tied their horses to the camp and enjoyed a rare meal with their generals. The soldiers of the Ailan Kingdom outside are not treated so well, and these people have indeed been studied and trained by Chen Mu to be equal, but at this moment in the Ailan Kingdom, the idea of power has revived.

Because the officers and soldiers of the Toyo Military Office are equal, they are limited to the officers and soldiers of the Toyo Military Office, and they will not be equal with the soldiers of the Alan Kingdom, which is a trouble for both sides.

Of course, the one hundred and twenty Irish warriors who had fought six battles so far and not a single one died had no complaints about this, and it was a universal value to eat as much as they could, and they could still eat with the dry bread and the soybean sauce brought by the Ming army with the ship, and smell the aroma of fried meat with cumin peppers was enough for them to eat.

At least much better than those fighters who later surrendered.

Someone eats meat, someone has to cut it; Someone cuts meat, and there has to be meat, so where does the meat come from? It was the warriors who had been recruited to capture them.

The pigs of this year are not the kind of white pigs that can not walk next to the black pigs, especially here, Ireland is an excellent pastoral area, many people live on animal husbandry, cattle, sheep and pigs, the Irish live in houses with them, this pig is a kind of wild boar, with long and hard hair and fangs, lean and agile like a dog.

"It's much more uncomfortable to fight here than in Asia, there is nothing on the ground, and the common people are poorer at home. Ying Ming complained to Zhang Si, Wang Quan and others as he spoke: "Kick open the doors of the people's houses, the radish and nettle leaves stewed in the clay pot are boiled for six days, and the bread is better than an axe and hammer with a wooden stick, that's all." ”

Ying Ming said, pointing at his preacher with a small dagger with his hand holding the flesh, Gan Hai took out a small black hammer from his backpack at the right time, waved it twice and said with a smile: "It's very easy to smash the nails of the military tent." ”

Zhang Si asked, "Isn't this meat?" ”

"Every family here raises pigs, many raise sheep, and some raise cattle; But they were not for ourselves, these pigs, cattle and sheep were to be given to the lords and nobles to eat, and we fought all the way, and wherever we went, we told the people wherever we went, and we took half of the livestock away, and the remaining half was given to the families of those who were willing to fight with me. ”

Ying Ming said, pointing with his thumb behind his shoulder, surrounded by the Irish warriors, and said, "Now I have more than 700 people under my command, and their previous lords are all dead. ”

"You also see that the best land is outside the mountains, but their lords have all moved into the mountains to avoid the English, and the general and the king mean to let them come out of the mountains, so that the inhabitants can have their houses and the cultivators have their fields, and I originally wanted to leave a few soldiers, and you are here, just right."

In the past, Ying Xiaoqi was accustomed to giving orders and not giving people a chance to answer, because there were too few people who could answer him in this land, and he said to himself, "You can all farm, you can build bricks and tiles, and you can also train soldiers......

The first two were okay, but when they arrived at the training place, Zhang Si looked embarrassed and said, "General, we can't train the troops." ”

"You came out of Changsheng and didn't have any armor training?"

"But the general." This time, not only Zhang Si, but even the veteran Wang Quan, who had been silent, was suspicious: "It was just a queue drill and weapon practice." ”

Chickens and ducks speak.

Ying Ming's brows furrowed, and he raised his hand to point at Zhang Sidao: "You don't understand at all, you were born in the Celestial Empire, and you can't imagine what the world outside the Celestial Empire is like, what it means for the marshal to teach you, and many people don't even want to be trained." ”

"Did you know that the people here haven't trained battle formations for hundreds of years, and in the Celestial Empire, an army without armor would make people feel like nothing more than a rabble, and here, it is extremely strange for an army with most people to have armor."

The impact of the world on Ying Ming is too strong.

The France and Ireland he had seen with his own eyes, and Ireland as he heard it, was so backward outside the world that the Celestial Empire had known.

"Look at them, not afraid of death."

Ying Ming ate the fried pork that was rare for him, looked back at the Scottish mercenary leader and his warriors who were sniffing and gnawing on the cakes, and said to his compatriots: "The people of the Alan Kingdom are not tall and generally look thin, but they are not small, they come from a tribal alliance that has been enslaved, despised and oppressed for a long time. ”

"Prince Zhu Xiaoen finds the Celestial Empire for his people, and the Celestial Empire will give them some skills and help, and they will easily defeat the old enemies like the historical Mongols or every new barbarian who has become a vassal of the Celestial Empire from a tribal system."

"What they lack is the ability to drill and use weapons in the military formation, and of course, more importantly, they need to have a fixed craftsman system, what do you want, you want to become a high-ranking official in the Alan Kingdom? Or just want a fortune, if it is the former, I will do something to the prince, as long as you plan and build a city for me, it will be here. ”

"It has to have a port, a military village, enough houses to house the soldiers and their families, and then each of you can get the land, dozens of hectares? I do not know. ”

"If it is the latter, you can only look for silver money, you can look for minerals on the island, all the mines here belong to the Ming Dynasty, to repay the cost of the armed army, if you find mines, you can register with the king, and 10% of the production can belong to you; In addition, it is also possible to build ships on the shore, and contact the merchants of England to buy iron ingots, we lack iron for weapons, and only a small number of these weapons and armor are made by themselves, most of which are bought by nobles from England, Spain, or somewhere. ”

Tao Laohu, who was squatting on the ground, raised his hand: "The iron is here, what can I exchange?" ”

Ying Ming didn't expect that he was the first to be moved, so he couldn't help laughing, and answered first, and then asked with a smile: "Naturally, it was sold to King Ailan, why, the White Horse Department wants to sell iron from Muye?" ”

"I don't know, my father wants to make the tribe develop to modernity, like Da Ming, this requires money, a lot of money, I can do anything." Tao Laohu touched the bone ornament that passed through the middle of his nose, and lowered his head and calculated: "The city can be built to give dozens of hectares of land, and then sell iron, and when there are more people living here, they want to eat, and the price of land will also rise." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhang Si and said, "You can make money, let's listen to the general's work together." ”

Ying Ming's heart is happy, he, the general banner, is also a general here.
