The fire in the southern city is on, the hot meat is fragrant, the hot wind is floating, and the smell of smoky barbecue is all over the city, and even the general military mansion in the northern city is shrouded.

"Ahem, cough, youming, what's the smell outside, so choking...... Ahem—" Chongzhen said with a frown as he coughed.

I don't know if it's because the medicine from the Tai Hospital has cured down, or if Daming has had a lot of good things recently, Chongzhen is in a good mood, his condition has gradually stabilized, and even his cough is less.

For this reason, Liu Hongjian also specially rewarded Qi Mingyin, the envoy of the Tai Hospital, with a pack of spicy strips.

"Your Majesty, General Wang is stewing meat for our Ming soldiers, and our whole army will eat horse meat tonight!" Liu Hong's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly went to perfunctory.

If Chongzhen knows the true source of the taste, it is estimated that this uncle will not have to eat at night, and his better body and bones will not be able to bear such a toss.

"I've eaten chicken, duck, goose, pork, and beef, but I've never eaten horse meat, and I'm a little hungry as you kid says." Horses are in short supply in Daming, Chongzhen put down the map in his hand, took a sip of tea.

Due to Liu Hongchuan's strong recommendation, Chongzhen's imperial expedition this time did not even bring a few imperial chefs, except for a group of imperial doctors, guards, and eunuchs.

Chongzhen is an emperor who has endured hard times, even if he brings the imperial kitchen, in order to feel the food of the border army, and in order to boost the morale of the border army, Chongzhen eats the same military food as the soldiers most of the time.

Nibbling on mixed bread every day, no wonder Chongzhen has an appetite when he smells meat.

"Your Majesty, the minister is also hungry, why don't we go out and take a look?" On a hot day, the house was stuffy, and Liu Hong gradually proposed.

"No need, I'm a little tired, ask someone to bring food here!" Chongzhen was actually hungry and had no strength.

Anyone who vomits for half an afternoon will be hungry at night.

"Eh, Your Majesty, this big pot of rice must be eaten with everyone to have a taste, let's go, go out for a walk!" Liu Hong gradually continued to instigate.

The military camp is not a court, and Chongzhen didn't recognize Liu Hongjian and Huang Degong except for a few people.

Liu Hong gradually became familiar with all of them, and it was quite lonely to leave Chongzhen here alone.

Chongzhen couldn't help it, so he had to get up and go out with Liu Hong, and a large group of guards outside the General Army's Mansion immediately escorted out.

The border army is stationed in the south city, most of the Beijing camp is in the east and west cities, and the small half is stationed in the north city with the thousand households of the Long Live Mountain, and the Chongzhen in the palace of the general army is guarded.

At this time, the leaders in charge of the spoon in the Beicheng military camp were all full of red light, and the thick soup was boiling in the cauldron, and the aroma wafted far away.

"Second stunned, look at your behavior, it's been a long time since you've eaten meat, and your saliva is 3,000 feet!" Lin He swallowed his saliva and mocked Kong Er, who was a high-ranking person on the side of the iron pot, was stunned.

"General Lin, don't laugh at me, I saw you swallowing saliva." Kong Er was stunned and unambiguous, the two had no subordinate relationship, he was independent of the cannon Qianhu, and his direct boss was Liu Hongji.

"Hmph, I said cow head, this meat has been stewed for an hour, and it's not good?" Lin He ignored Kong Er's stunned shiver.

After a day of fighting, it is fake not to be hungry, and now a big pot of boiling broth is in front of you, who can withstand it.

"General Lin, don't be impatient, the horse meat is thick and strong, if you want to stew all the spices into the meat, you really have to wait a while!"

This guy called the bull head is also a sincere man, and while adding firewood to the stove in his hand, he explains his cooking skills by himself, completely ignoring the starving ghosts who swallow saliva around him.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Huang He, the eunuch in the hall, trotted and shouted.

"Ouch, Your Majesty is here!" The bull head was startled by a shout, and the big horse spoon he was carrying in his hand threw it into the pot, and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Ouch - old cow, you girl, long live my emperor...... the hot soup splashed by the big horse spoon scalded the nearest Kong Erzi, seeing that Chongzhen had already come to him, Kong Erzi had to endure the pain and salute.

"Get up, I'm just here to see, the soldiers should eat and drink." Chongzhen smiled, his hands raised.

"Ahh Are you a chef? Hurry up and make food, what are you doing kneeling, the emperor is still hungry? Haven't stewed the meat yet? Liu Hong gradually said to the gang leader who knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up.

"Good...... All right...... It's stewed, let's serve it to the big man! "Emperor Daming is a legendary figure, where have I seen this group of leaders, I was frightened and panicked.

The man took out two large bowls from the shed behind him, filled the meat and handed them to Liu Hongjian tremblingly.

Liu Hong gradually took the chopsticks from his subordinates and handed the big bowl to Chongzhen, but he was stopped by the yellow crane in the hall.

"Grandpa Guo, according to the rules, the emperor's food needs to be ...... by the old slave," Huang He said as he took a pair of silver chopsticks from a delicate box.

"Eh, you leather swindler, why do you have to taste the delicacies that the emperor has to serve to the emperor first? Go aside! Liu Hongjian directly pushed away the yellow crane with one hand.

This barracks is full of big pots of rice, and with Liu Hong's gradual understanding of these gang leaders, he himself has to taste a big pot of rice several times before it is ready.

If there is really a problem, the five big and three thick guys next to him are already, not to mention that no one knows that Chongzhen will happen to come here, and not everyone in the barracks can come in.

"This ...... This ...... "Huang He lost his temper, this is the rule, he doesn't know why Grandpa Guo always looks down on him."

It wasn't like that before, and when he said his name that day, everything changed.

"It's okay, stand down!" Chongzhen's trust in Liu Hongjian was unfounded, but he was a little embarrassed.

After all, he is an emperor, how can he hold a bowl and gnaw horse meat in front of the soldiers.

"Your Majesty, taste it, it's very fragrant!" Liu Hong gradually took a bowl from the fire head soldier, motioned to the head soldier to start distributing the broth, and turned his head to Chongzhen, who looked embarrassed.

Chongzhen was indeed hungry, so he picked up a small piece of horse meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to chew.

The stewed crispy and tough horse meat burst into Chongzhen's mouth in an instant, and after eating dry cakes for a few days, this horse meat can be regarded as opening Chongzhen's taste buds.

"Well, it smells so good!" Chongzhen said unconsciously.

"Then the emperor, there may not be a few times such an experience, and the emperor should also enjoy the moment!" Liu Hongjian also picked up a piece of meat, and was hot.

"Eat them all, you're polite, and you're full!" With Chongzhen there, Liu Hong gradually saw that Lin He and Kong Er were stunned and did not move with a bowl, so he persuaded him.

Although thousands of Tartar horses were killed and wounded, the remaining thousands of horses were still enough for 80,000 people to eat several meals, after all, pulling back a horse's leg from the battlefield was enough for many men to gnaw.

Even the 3,000 or so Han people left in the city were gifted.

On the first day of returning to the embrace of the Ming Dynasty, they were able to eat meat, and these Han people, who had been enslaved for more than ten years, shed tears while eating.

"Today's victory of the Ming Dynasty is the credit of all the soldiers, before I sat alone in the high hall and did not know the suffering of the border army, now I know that the world is difficult.

I promise you that even if I am hungry in the future, I will definitely not let you soldiers go hungry! ”

Chongzhen naturally wouldn't gobble it up like Liu Hongji, he just took a symbolic sip and handed it to the eunuch on Bian'er.

"Your Majesty, the last general will definitely fight to the death for the Ming Dynasty!" To be able to get such assurances from the emperor, what else did the soldiers below say, they all put down the broth in their hands and knelt down to be loyal.

"Youming, look, let's go back and eat!"

Chongzhen motioned for the soldiers to get up, but these soldiers couldn't let go of it than Chongzhen, which greatly ruined the pleasant meat feast.

"Okay, let's go, let's go back to the house and eat!" Liu Hongjian was also speechless.

It is extremely rare for these illiterate guys to be safe in front of him, and he still muttered about Chongzhen's sacred status in the hearts of the soldiers.

One of the accompanying guards brought a small pot and motioned for the leader to fill some more broth, while Liu Hongjian and Chongzhen returned to their residence.

"The emperor ate my stewed soup! The soup that the emperor ate stewed! Seeing Chongzhen leaving, the head soldier came back in a trance.

He kept chattering, if his grandson asked again, he really had to brag to his grandson, after all, he was the one who cooked for the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty

……

"Your Majesty, have you been bitten by a mosquito?" Liu Hong gradually saw Chongzhen scratching the back of his neck as he walked.

"Yes, the mosquitoes in this grassland are really powerful." Chongzhen didn't hide it either.

The mosquitoes in the grassland are indeed several sizes bigger than the mosquitoes in the capital, not only big but also fierce, and they are also thieves!

It's a sin to be taken a few bites by these mosquitoes!

"Your Majesty, there is a special medicine for treating mosquito bites here! Paint it on you! When he returned to the house and saw that Chongzhen was still scratching, Liu Hong gradually felt unbearable, so he silently took a small bottle of wind oil essence from the space.

Chongzhen is no longer surprised by Liu Hong's gradual medical skills, after all, the prince was like that back then, and the imperial doctor said that he couldn't cure it, but he was rescued by the kid in front of him from the ghost gate.

Liu Hong gradually unscrewed the plastic lid of the wind oil essence, and the cool smell of mint instantly spread.

"Youming, what is this, it tastes so fresh, I feel refreshed when I smell it!" Chongzhen stared at the green liquid in the small glass bottle in Liu Hongji's hand.

"Hey, this thing is called Cool Oil, and it can be curative when there is a mosquito bite, unbearable headache, chest tightness and shortness of breath! I will give you a try. Liu Hong gradually walked behind Chongzhen as he spoke.

"Well, it's really comfortable, it's a good thing, I need to let the hospital develop it when I go back!" The itchy area was instantly cool, and Chongzhen suddenly felt refreshed.

The two of them were happily drinking broth and eating horse meat in the house, and Niu Zhuang, the first dog leg under Liu Hongji's door, and Cao Wentai, the first dragon leg under Chongzhen, both listened to the conversation in the house.

The two of them also kept scratching the exposed skin, in fact, since the troops drove into the grassland, the soldiers have suffered from mosquitoes.

Liu Hongjian chatted with Chongzhen about some plans for tomorrow, and when he saw Chongzhen tired, he also planned to sleep in his own room.

"Hehe, master, can that wind oil essence be used for me, my body is itchy and uncomfortable!"

Niu Dabang mallet was a little embarrassed, he just went to the squatting pit, and his private parts were bitten by mosquitoes for several bags.

If you want to say that the other exposed skin is good to scratch, but that place is really ......

"You bastard...... Get! Take it and use it! "It's hard work to follow the big stick mallet to go south and north, although there are not many survivors, but look at the cow big stick mallet scratching everywhere, Liu Hong gradually does not endure.

After throwing a bottle of wind oil essence to Niu Dabangmalet, Liu Hong gradually went back to the house to rest, and Niu Dabangmallet also returned to the house in a hurry.

A moment later.

"Whew-" There was a scream from the house with a big stick and mallet!
