No one is a fool.

Many soldiers may not have seen what the supervisors eat, but at least they have heard of it.

Coupled with Li Yuanqing's deliberateness, every time the fire soldiers prepared a meal for the two military supervisors, they would not shy away from everyone, but would rather 'show off'...

This time and again, the food of the military supervisors has become a major topic of conversation for the soldiers in their spare time.

According to the food and grass reserves in Fuzhou City at this time, it would not be difficult for Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to eat Xiaozao every day.

But the fact is that at every meal time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong would basically eat with the soldiers.

The human heart is made of flesh.

Not to mention that these two armies were brought out by Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong. In these subtle details, the two military supervisors wanted to compete with Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong. Even if they had the emperor's righteousness, what could they do?

What?

At this time, the soldiers in the Changsheng Battalion and Chen Zhong's Department had the same food.

Each person has a bowl of bone soup, full of fat, a little minced meat, a thick noodle steamed bun, a portion of pickles, and a few green vegetables.

These are the staple foods, but the broth can be replenished, and each person can drink three bowls.

The soldiers, on this basis, added two ounces of meat and a vegetable steamed bun.

As for the officers, Li Yuanqing, and Chen Zhong, they were all fighting soldiers and were not special at all.

In this era, because of the scarcity of supplies, unlike in later generations, people loved to eat refined meat.

On the contrary, it is because of the lack of oil and water that people have a special liking for fat meat.

When Li Yuanqing's two troops conquered Fuzhou City, the Hou Jin defenders' belongings, including cattle and sheep, were not able to be taken away in time. In addition, various reserves such as bacon, fresh meat, salted fish, and fresh fish were transported from Changsheng Island.

Quite sufficient.

In addition, it was already early spring, and Li Yuanqing even specially ordered the fire soldiers and auxiliary soldiers to open a lot of vegetable plots in the open space in the city, so as to grow vegetables, which are the simplest and fastest maturing vegetables.

After all, Li Yuanqing came from later generations and knew the importance of nutritional balance.

For example, the soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty, including Jurchens and Mongols, mainly ate meat all year round. In terms of strength, bloodiness, and even the ferocity of their personalities, they were much better than the Ming army.

But the fact is that most of these soldiers of the Hou Jin Dynasty do not live too long. Even the nobles of the Hou Jin Dynasty such as Fei Yingdong and An Feiyanggu are only in their early fifties when they go to see their immortality.

.

This is still a natural death.

This may seem like a big deal, but in practice, the effect is very obvious.

If a soldier rarely eats vegetables and lacks vitamins, once he is injured, the wound will heal very slowly. It is very likely that even a small injury will kill him.

Although the Ming Dynasty did not lack the most, it was population.

But to Li Yuanqing, they are all descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties, and sons of the Han family. Regardless of whether he is noble or humble, not to mention equality, at least everyone's life is precious.

Within the controllable range, Li Yuanqing could not let his sons die because of trivial matters.

Li Yuanqing even considered ensuring that the soldiers had two eggs and a glass of milk for breakfast to promote more scientific eating habits.

It's a pity that Li Yuanqing's financial resources were low at this time and Changsheng Island was beginning to rise. It was still difficult to achieve this level.

However, at this time, the food the two men were eating seemed simple, but it was a hundred times better than the food served by the Houjin servants under the city.

With the wind, the thick aroma of the broth spread to the bottom of the city, causing the Houjin servants to stretch their necks.

Most of these servants are Han, but they are better than ordinary Han slaves. Most of them are coats and small coats. They can have some property of their own, but they are still vassal slaves of their Nuzhen master.

"Brother Gouzi, smell it, what do you think Gouzi eats? Why does it smell so good? I have never smelled such a good fragrance."

A Han man of seventeen or eighteen years old, Baoyi, hid behind the earth wall bunker, stretched his neck, looked towards the city head, and said to a man in his late seventies or eighties next to him.

The Han man named 'Gouzi Ge' stretched out his nose to smell it, took another bite of the dried food in his hand, and said intoxicatedly: "It smells like pork soup, but it also seems to have a bit of mutton smell." , but the mutton can’t be so fresh? Could it be that they also put salted fish in the soup?”

Gouzi Ge said, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

These handymen of the Han Army Banner, except for a small number of Da Baoyi, were from Shenyang and Liaoyang, who had defected to the Hou Jin Dynasty. They were considered to be the vested interests of the Hou Jin Dynasty. Most of the others were from Haizhou, Gaizhou, Fuzhou and Jin Dynasty. These southern four guards of the state were born.

Because Nansiwei is close to the seaside, everyone is familiar with the sea.

When people want to eat meat during New Years and holidays, they are also accustomed to adding some fish to various meats to make them fresh.

In fact, the Chinese ancestors made it very clear when they created Chinese characters. The character for "fresh" is composed of "fish" and "sheep".

Brother Gouzi was born as a fisherman on the seaside of Weizhou, Gaizhou. In addition, his nose has been clever since he was a child, so he was called "Gouzi". He could smell the secret as soon as he smelled it.

"Brother Gouzi, pork soup? What does this taste like? I haven't had it for a long time. Can you tell me about it?" The young man took a hard bite of the dry food in his hand and drooled. He wanted to flow out, but he looked at Brother Gouzi.

Brother Gouzi also fell into deep thought, "Oh. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten broth for a long time. The last time I ate it was when Wanli Ye. Oh, what should I say?"

Brother Gouzi racked his brains, trying to describe the taste in his memory.

Since the Southern Siwei was conquered by Hou Jin in the second half of the first year of Tianqi, most of the Han people they belonged to, except for a few who were lucky enough to become Da Bao Yi, have completely become slaves of Hou Jin, even more powerful than the armored people in the deep mountains and old forests. Man is still a lowly slave.

Not only did they have to help the Jürüzhen disciples to weed pigs and raise horse grain, but most of their own grain output and livestock output had to be handed over to the Jürüzhen disciples.

It's usually better, and I can barely maintain it.

But in wartime like this, not only do they have to hand over most of their family property, but their young men also have to go out with the Queen of the Goddess and be used as cannon fodder on the front line.

Bodhisattva bless you, those who survive are lucky. If you are unlucky and lose your life, your wife, children, property and fields will soon become someone else's private property and plaything.

In addition, the current high-pressure policy of Lao Nu against the Han people has also prompted more and more Han people in Liao to flee to Pidao, Lushun, Changsheng Island, and Denglai.

At this time, the Nuzhen disciples returned to the camp to have barbecue. However, under the firepower of the Ming army, they could only eat some dry beans mixed with a little bit of coarse grains to press the dry cakes. They were as hard as rocks, so hard that they chattered their teeth. , not even saliva.

However, when thinking about their wives and children at home, and the family property passed down from their ancestors, most people are always willing to think on the bright side. As long as they persevere, they will always survive. They will definitely be able to go back and see their wives and children again.

At this time, Brother Gouzi looked at the expectant eyes of his distant cousin, and finally thought of a way to describe it, "Si Yazi, have you ever thought that during the Chinese New Year some time ago, my brother trapped him from the ground?

That big field mouse?”

"Big field mouse?"

Si Yaozi's childish eyes couldn't help but light up, and for a moment, he said unhappily: "Brother Gouzi, the field mouse is not small, but the meat is too little. I only took a small bite, but I haven't tasted it yet.

.Why."

Brother Gouzi hurriedly said: "Si Yazi, one mouthful is not enough? Your brother, I only ate half a mouthful. It was still with bones. After this battle is over, let's go back to our hometown, and Brother Gouzi will take you to trap field mice. This

Come on, let’s learn from these Ming Gouzi and make a fish to stew after catching it. It will definitely not be much worse than Ming Gouzi’s pork.”

Si Yazi couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Brother Gouzi, it's settled. Let's go trap the field mice when we get back."

…………

On the top of the city, Li Yuanqing had no intention of paying attention to the thoughts of the Han bannermen below. Although they were all Han, in fact, the two sides were enemies.

Li Yuanqing had some nationalistic tendencies in later generations, but this does not mean that he is a fool who can accept anyone and cannot distinguish between situations.

At this time, the weather was still a little cold. After taking a bowl of hot broth, Li Yuanqing was sweating all over his body. He felt refreshed. He smiled and shouted to the soldiers around him: "Young men, you are all full."

What?"

"General, we are full."

"Haha. General, the skills of these fire masters have improved again. This soup is really delicious."

"..."

Looking at the energetic faces around him, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile lightly, "Now that you're full, you have to get ready to work. I'll take care of everything."

"yes."

The soldiers had already developed instincts through rigorous daily drills. They lined up one after another and neatly put the bowls and chopsticks used for eating in baskets, and the fire soldiers took them to wash them uniformly.

In the battle sequence of the Changsheng Camp, not only are the fire soldiers not inferior to others, but they are treated on the same level as the combat soldiers. In terms of military pay, they are slightly higher by half a level and enjoy the treatment of Xiaoqi.

Food is the most important thing for the people.

For the army in the order of battle, it is especially important to have enough food and drink.

Li Yuanqing did not dare to be careless about this detail.

Fire soldiers are paid well and the risk factor is not high. It is indeed a good job in the longevity camp, but their "political review" work is also quite strict.

In addition to the veterans who followed Li Yuanqing at Sanchakou, new recruits who want to join the Fire Army must have an officer above the rank of General Qian to sponsor them.

It took about a quarter of an hour to eat. As the fire soldiers packed up their things and left neatly, a solemn atmosphere returned to the city and order was maintained.

At this time, there was also movement in the direction of the Houjin Battle Formation on the opposite side, with people roaring and horses roaring, smoke and dust billowing, and constant movements.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong also came to the crenel and carefully observed the movements of the Jin army.

Chen Zhong burped happily, "Yuan Qing, Huang Taiji is so stubborn that he still hasn't given up. It seems that we will have another fight in the afternoon."

Li Yuanqing smiled.

The soldiers from the city had not withdrawn, so Li Yuanqing understood that Huang Taiji would never give up on the first day of the offensive.

It's just that he is more decisive than ordinary people. He can take it up and put it down. No matter whether he attacks or retreats, he is not sloppy at all.

But Li Yuanqing had made sufficient preparations and couldn't help but smile: "Brother, let him come in any way, I will only go all the way. In the morning, there were only a hundred Tatar heads, which is not enough for us brothers to get promoted and make a fortune."

Chen Zhong couldn't help but laugh, "That's right. With such sharp spearmen here, I'm afraid the bad guys won't come."

But as he spoke, Chen Zhong was stunned, "Yuan Qing, look over there, what's that ghost covered under the red cloth?"

Li Yuanqing hurriedly looked in the direction of Chen Zhong's finger, and his expression suddenly changed.
