Chapter 20 Eating is the guarantee of combat effectiveness

Zhu Di didn't believe in any Guo heirs, but when he saw the map, he couldn't help but believe it. In fact, he doesn't care whether he believes it or not, the key is whether this person can use it or not!

is like that Daoyan monk, who encourages Zhu Di to seize the heir every day, if you want to say that Zhu Di is not annoying him, of course he is annoying, and he is worried that the old monk will cause trouble and will not be able to clean it up.

But the problem is that the martial artists around him are all tendons, and they really can't do without a resourceful and calculating Daoyan!

King Yan thought very clearly, who doesn't have a secret, as long as this kid is obedient and has the ability, what if he is the heir of the Guo family!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di put down his chopsticks and said to Liu Chun: "You mentioned military rations, I don't know what your ancestor thinks of military rations?" ”

Liu Chun put down his chopsticks and said in a big way: "The art of war is cloudy, the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first." Of course, this is a wise saying, but in my opinion, it is still a little shallow and does not make a fuss in depth. ”

Zhu Di glanced at his mouth and said unceremoniously: "Why, you can't even look down on the art of war of the ancients?" This king didn't see Guo Shoujing's ability to stabilize the country! ”

"That's the wrong time for Master Zu!" Liu Chun said with a smile: "The Yuan Tartars are incompetent, brutal and unkind, and the talents cannot be fully utilized, and some talented people are not willing to work for the Tartars. Take my master as an example, from the ancestor to the master, there are still many capable seniors, but it is a pity that they did not catch up with the Sheng Dynasty, and they have no talent to learn, and there is nowhere to show it. ”

Zhu Di laughed loudly, "So, you kid is quite lucky?" ”

"That's nature, the son of the Great Tomorrow, who started with cloth clothes, killed the Quartet, drove the Great Yuan in the north, expelled the Tartars, and restored China. In terms of meritorious deeds, although the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty cannot be compared, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, and the Han and Tang dynasties are far away......"

The princess Xu Miaoyun on the side pursed her lips and smiled: "Liu Xiaolang's knowledge is not known, but this mouth is smeared with honey, and it is really sweet." But the light will pat on the back, our prince doesn't like to hear it, who made him a stubborn donkey! ”

One sentence made Zhu Di's old face red, but he was helpless. At the beginning of the founding of the country, there is still some atmosphere of the Yuan Dynasty, the etiquette is not so strict, and the Xu family is a tiger girl, not afraid of Zhu Di at all, if it is not so, she will not come out to accompany the guests.

Liu Chun also couldn't help laughing, it was really not easy to see Emperor Yongle deflated.

"Then the kid will talk about the military rations, and dare to ask the prince, do you know what the Yuan Tartars eat?"

"Naturally, it's cattle and sheep." Zhu Di said casually.

Liu Chun nodded, "They cut the beef into strips and cooked them, smeared them with salt, hung them up to dry, and then put the jerky into the sheep urine bubble, made them into balls, tied them to horses, and used them as military rations. ”

Hearing Liu Chun's words, the bear child Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly covered his nose, it was so disgusting, a smell of urine, how to eat it!

It's a little chubby, and he is very curious.

"Why did the Yuan Tartar do this? Do they have no chefs? How delicious it is to make beef buns! ”

Liu Chun explained: "The beef jerky is hungry and drenched with salt, so you can run and chew it without delaying the march." And on a long march, jerky is not easy to spoil, but buns are not good. In addition, when the Tartar is on the march, he also likes to take some mares, and when he is thirsty, he drinks mare's milk to avoid adapting to the soil and water. It was with these two things that the Tartars were able to fight all the way west to the Danube! ”

"The Danube? I've only heard of the Yellow River, the Luo River, the Huai River, what kind of rivers is the Danube? Zhu Gaochi listened with relish and asked curiously.

"The Danube is an important river in Europa, when Genghis Khan's grandson Batu led an army of 200,000 to the west, all the way to destroy countless countries, sweeping thousands of miles, until the Danube River Valley, the Western countries trembled, almost wiped out the country. At that time, the Diaoyu City of Bashu, the army and the people were united in fighting against the Tartars, killing the Mongol Khan Meng Ge, and the unified Mongol Empire ceased to exist. Kublai Khan occupied most of the capital and named the country Yuan...... The rest of the Mongolian tribes were torn apart, and they no longer had the enterprising spirit of the past, and the Western countries were finally able to survive. ”

Liu Chun was talking here, and Zhu Di took out the map left by Guo Shoujing, looked west, and sure enough, he saw many unprecedented place names.

Guo Shoujing also left a mark, those places were sorted out by him according to the materials of the Great Yuan Dynasty National History Museum, and he did not go to check Yunyun in person......

Zhu Di looked at it for a long time, and gradually clenched his fists.

"It's really a big mountain and river!"

Xu Miaoyun's mouth opened slightly, and she said with deep understanding: "Lord Wang, if it is really as Xiao Langjun said, only by using beef jerky and mare's milk as military food can we build such a big foundation." Otherwise, I don't know how much I will die of exhaustion just for the people and livestock. ”

Zhu Di bowed, "In the first battle of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, more than 100,000 livestock were killed, and the savings of the Han Dynasty were exhausted, but it only hit the Beihai where Su Wu herded sheep, and it was too far away from the Danube!" ”

It is said that there is a picture and the truth, and this time there is a picture and a shock!

Even Zhu Di had a trace of awe for the former Mongol Empire.

"It's only been a few decades, and the Yuan Tartars have lost the courage and perseverance of their ancestors, if they can still rely on the jerky mare's milk and travel thousands of miles, the father may not be able to sweep the world and dominate the world!"

Zhu Di sighed for a long time, and suddenly said: "This map, this king wants to present it to His Majesty, can you give it to you?" ”

Liu Chun said: "The grass people have been dedicated to the prince, so they are naturally at the disposal of the prince." ”

Zhu Di bowed his head, "I'm ashamed to say it, the Tartar military rations you mentioned are certainly very good." However, I don't have so much beef, and I don't have so many horses. Kill a few cows, this king can certainly call the shots, but if it is used as military food for thousands of soldiers, my father will not agree! ”

Not to mention the dynasty, even in other dynasties, ploughing cattle is more expensive than people, but they can't be killed casually, horns, tendons, and cowhides are all important strategic materials. It is said that the original ejiao was made of cowhide, and because the cowhide was precious, it had to be changed to donkey skin.

However, Zhu Di did not blame Liu Chun, on the contrary, he paid more and more attention to this "descendant of the Guo family", after all, it was not easy to tell the history of Yuan Tatar so clearly.

Don't look at the Ming Dynasty to inherit the Yuan Dynasty, in fact, the content of the Mongol Empire, the Yuan Dynasty did not retain much, and after the war, the information was lost, and there were not many people who knew the history of the Yuan Dynasty. Coupled with the confusion and mistakes of the historians of the Yuan Dynasty, it is really not easy to get a clear clue from the pile of old papers.

Liu Chun was much luckier, in his time, all kinds of history were turned out and circulated everywhere, and a lot of them could be found with a touch of a finger.

"Lord Wang, the grass people didn't suggest learning the Yuan Tartars, in fact, we can't learn it. The grass people wondered if they could develop a relatively simple and hungry military ration. It is easy for cavalry to carry and can run long distances. The Tartars don't have the bravery of their ancestors, if there is a way for the Tartars to beat the Tartars, it would be so happy! ”

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, that's right!

That's a great idea!

Zhu Di's Yanwang Mansion has three guards, and the full number of these three guards can reach 57,000, but at present, Zhu Di is only 10,000 people. But these more than 10,000 people, because they are located in the north and have abundant war horses, are mainly cavalry!

Zhu Di is ambitious, ready to use this Northern Expedition to make contributions, let the world see, whether he Zhu Di relies on Lao Tzu, when it comes to leading troops to fight, he is no worse than those famous generals!

"Liu Chun, can you really make military rations?"

"No problem." Liu Chun smiled: "I can try it out now, Lord Wang, can you provide convenience?" ”

Zhu Di laughed loudly, "No problem, princess, you work hard and give the back garden to this kid." ”

After eating, Liu Chun got up to leave, and the little fat dun immediately stood up and followed closely like a tail...... You have a lively conversation, but you can't forget that the production of military rations was mentioned to me first, so you can't throw me down.

Zhu Di looked at his son, who was becoming more and more lively, and his heart was full of joy, "You also go with you, let your father see your ability!" ”
