Chapter 748: Canning
The battle went smoothly with very few casualties.
Giving the soldiers a few days to pick fruits can be considered a reward for them!
It's a long way here, and except for the soldiers guarding here, others may never have the chance to come again in this life!
Let them pick more and enjoy themselves!
"Everyone must pay attention to safety and never act alone!"
What Han Xin has repeatedly emphasized is the issue of security.
Although the enemy forces have been almost wiped out, no one can guarantee that not a single fish will slip through the net!
Acting alone is extremely dangerous!
"General, don't worry!"
Everyone agreed immediately without even thinking about it.
"Also, once the fruits are picked, how do you plan to preserve them?"
Han Xin has tasted that kind of fruit. It tastes sweet, has a strange aroma, and is very ripe. It is not easy to preserve at all.
"Of course it's like lychee, canned!"
"Um!"
Han Xin nodded, this was the only way.
Along the way, although he didn't notice the fruit trees, he saw a lot of sugar cane, so boiling sugar shouldn't be a problem!
"Let's do this, everyone, stop acting alone, hand in the locations recorded on the road, and we will act together...!"
Han Xin thought about it again and again, and said: "Not only is it dangerous to divide into small teams, but there are also people to boil sugar and make it, so the efficiency shouldn't be too high! Why don't we all act together! One part will harvest the sugar cane and boil it into sugar, and the other part will respond accordingly."
You pick the fruits at the right location and transport them, and the people left behind are responsible for processing the fruits, canning them and putting them into jars!”
Of the 300,000 troops, there were 100,000 left in each city. In addition, it would take 100,000 troops to guard the prisoners. They absolutely could not be dispatched.
Otherwise, these nearly 400,000 prisoners will definitely take the opportunity to rebel!
So there are only 100,000 soldiers left.
For the sake of fairness and to save time, Han Xin finally came up with this method!
"Okay! That's it!"
The soldiers also had no objections.
Everyone performing their duties will definitely increase work efficiency!
After having a full meal, everyone wrote down the locations where the fruits grow, roughly determined the scope, and started to work separately!
Wang Li, Peng Yue and others also took their own people to work!
The originally quiet Fahrenheit City suddenly became lively.
Big pots are burning day and night, and more and more cans are being put into jars and sealed!
The soldiers were also in the process of making it and had a great time!
In this way, every time he arrived at a city, he would pick all the fruits nearby and make cans.
It wasn't until the tenth day that we arrived at Jilinga City!
The carriages that were previously loaded with supplies have all been converted into cans!
When the soldiers guarding the city saw this, they were stunned!
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and load it on the boat!"
Under the command of Han Xin, the army immediately took action and loaded jars of cans onto the ship.
Then came the prisoners.
There was a legend before the Mauryan Dynasty that these Qin troops came in huge ships.
But they didn't expect it to be so huge.
They stood below like ants!
All the prisoners were stunned, and many of them knelt down and kowtowed to the steamer!
"Okay, let's go quickly!"
Fan Kuai and the others had no time to waste time with these people, so he kicked them in the butt and urged them to get on the boat quickly.
Nearly 400,000 prisoners were evenly divided into 100 ships, with 4,000 people in each ship and guarded by 2,000 people.
, no pressure!
After sending a telegram to Xianyang, Han Xin boarded the steamer.
"Woooo..."
As the whistle sounded, the steamship started slowly and one by one gradually left the port.
"Have a safe trip, General!"
The remaining defenders waved their arms towards them, and some even shed tears!
Counting the time, Da Qin's New Year is coming soon, but they can't return, and they can't help but feel a little sad in their hearts!
"Okay, stop wiping your tears. What's wrong with staying here? You can get double your salary! When you return home, you will become the richest young man in your village. When the time comes, those who propose marriage will not be allowed to use your family.
The threshold has been broken?"
A little leader next to him lightly hit him twice with his elbow and said with a joking smile.
Hearing this, the young man who was sobbing lightly just now stopped crying immediately, blinked his eyes, and laughed instead, "I don't need to propose marriage. I and the little girl in the village are childhood sweethearts. It's just that
His family thought I was poor, so I came out to earn military merit!"
"Isn't that good? When we go back, we will not only have money, but also military exploits. When the time comes, let our Crown Prince help you propose marriage. Let's see if their family dares to look down upon others!"
"No, no, no, I don't dare bother His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you, General, are free, just come to my door and talk to me!"
"Hey! Isn't that a piece of cake?"
"Thank you, General!"
After saying that, everyone watched the steamer gradually go away.
…
On the steamer, Fan Kuai placed several jars in the cabin, filled them with black soil, and planted a few saplings.
"What does this mean?"
Han Xin was puzzled.
"General Han, these are the fruit saplings I dug during the Maurya Dynasty. Let's see if they can be brought to our Daqin for planting! In this way, the people of Daqin will be able to eat fresh fruits!"
Fan Kuai is tall and thick, and he looks very honest when he smiles.
"Haha, I didn't see it, you are quite thoughtful!"
“I don’t know if it will work or not!”
"If Master Fusu sees these saplings, they will definitely feel like they have found a treasure!"
After Ying Feiyu arrived, Fusu concentrated on agriculture. His favorite thing was to study these species that were not found in Da Qin, hoping to improve the quality of life of the people!
The navy turned back according to the route they came from. Fortunately, they did not encounter any storms this time.
In about ten days, he arrived at Nanhai County and sent a telegram to Xianyang to report that he was safe!
After receiving the telegram, Ying Zheng's hanging heart finally fell to the ground!
Before the rivers froze, Han Xin arrived successfully with his army.
Ying Zheng personally came to greet him with hundreds of officials!
This is an honor that no one has had since Ying Feiyu!
The Mauryan Dynasty was a country with a larger population than the Qin Dynasty. This was something that Ying Zheng could not even imagine before!
With the development of the Qin Dynasty, it was now destroyed by Han Xin's troops. It would be strange for him not to be excited!
In addition to the officials, both sides of the Wei River were also crowded with ordinary people!
Some of these people came to watch the fun, but most of them were the families of these soldiers!
Even though I know that there is no danger in fighting now, I still feel uneasy when I don’t see my family come back!
"Woooo..."
The familiar whistle sounded, and the heartbeats of everyone present accelerated.
Especially the old ones.
You know, their sons all followed Han Xin, so they must have achieved a lot of military achievements!
In this life, even if their official positions are over, they will expect their sons to make contributions!
"Coming, coming, Your Majesty, we see the steamer!"
Chapter completed!
