Chapter 161 Sprouted Potatoes Are Inedible(2/2)
Sun Zhiwan was even more strange.
"The commander is back, great!"
Sun Zhiwan watched for a while, and saw that one side of the drum was suddenly opened. The young peasants immediately rushed forward and used wooden shovels to shovel something out of the drum. The substance was gray-black and sticky.
When you look closely, there seem to be smiling particles mixed in. In an instant, the contents of the barrel have been shoveled clean by the civilian workers.
Since the forty-sixth year of Wanli, the finances of the imperial court and local governments have been extremely scarce. They are either suffering from drought, floods, or locusts. They have to provide disaster relief every year, raise troops every year, levy Liao pay, levy pay, and taxes are increasing.
Heavy, there are more and more places where money is spent, and there is still money left to repair roads. This is even the case in Shuntian Prefecture, let alone places.
Seeing them cooking this and that, the grandson's Adam's apple kept moving, and he kept swallowing...
There were still three or four miles away from the grain transport team. When the military households transporting grain saw the Jiannu cavalry appearing in front, they shouted crazily: "Jiannu are coming, run!"
Unless Jiannu had an engineering force that was skilled in demining technology, he could use the darkness of night to cut the barbed wire with pliers and remove the mines without Ning Haijun noticing.
Sun Zhiwan followed Sun Chengzong to participate in the Battle of Daling River. He was very disappointed with what the Ming army did. At that time, some people in the Ming army reported to Huang Taiji. Only under such circumstances could Huang Taiji accurately obtain the information.
To know where Zhang Chun's gunpowder was stored, one must know that the 40,000-strong army's baggage troops stretched for more than ten miles and contained two to three thousand carts, and the carts containing gunpowder accounted for less than one-tenth of them.
"My humble position is just to deliver a message. This letter should be a message from the nobles who founded the slaves. Depending on the situation, it should be Huang Taiji's enemy. I hope he will suffer a big loss!"
But the problem is that Cheng Shijie actually spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources on building roads, which illustrates the problem.
It is not surprising that someone among the Jiannu now informed Cheng Shijie.
"I don't know, it should be food!"
"unnecessary!"
"Don't waste it, let the new recruits see blood!"
He waved his hand and said: "Stop talking about these useless things, let's quickly find a way to destroy this wooden fence and the Ming army's trenches!"
The morale of Ning Haijun's officers and soldiers was so high that they all cried out: "If I could have food like this every day, I would be happy to fight this war for the rest of my life!"
Just when Huang Taiji's partial division had just moved out and was located outside the Ninghai Navy Prince's Baliwan camp, Qin Buhui once again asked to see Cheng Shijie.
The next day, Sun Zhiman was woken up by a pungent gas. It wasn't until he had eaten and left the inn that he discovered that there was also a huge construction site on the roadside not far from the inn, with countless construction projects worn by hundreds of households.
All kinds of clothes. There is a patch made of white linen on the chest of the clothes and the back of the kimono, with the words "Tianji Kitchen Knife" embroidered on the patch.
Just waiting for Jiannu to rush in. As for the mere two thousand cavalry who want to attack southern Liaoning in a roundabout way, they can just give warmth to the navy troops.
Cheng Shijie asked people to send Qin Buhui off, but he didn't say anything.
Qin Buhui did not hide anything, and his secret stronghold in Shenyang was taken away. Even his wife, children, and children became hostages of the other party. The other party did not allow him to rebel or surrender, but only allowed him to go to Liaonan and serve as the commander-in-chief.
An intelligence officer, in fact, Qin Buhui also doubted whether this was a trap.
Tianji pioneered this advertising model and received good publicity. In the field of kitchen knives and scissors, Tianji has almost become the leading blacksmith company in southern Liaoning. In addition to Tianji kitchen knives, there are also brands such as "Dai Ji Reverse Journey"
", "Liu Ji Steamed Buns", "Cao Ji Sesame Oil", and even "Liaodong Bank".
"That's the only way to spread suspicion!"
With this thing in front of them, they can't get through at all, but the Ming army's crossbowmen can easily shoot them to death. This situation is simply crazy! Even if they cut off one or two wooden stakes, the barbed wire fence will not fall down.
, if you want to tear down the barbed wire fence, you have to cut off many wooden stakes at the same time. With the Ming army's crossbows and Franco machine guns taking turns, this is an almost impossible task!
Seeing Cheng Shijie motionless, Sun Zhiman became a little anxious: "Commander, hurry up and send troops over!"
"Let's go to Haizhou!"
Zhou Ning smiled bitterly and said: "The casualties of these slave, Mongolian and Han troops have exceeded two to three thousand. However, they were either killed by thunder cannons or mines. Most of them have been changed beyond recognition.
It is difficult to identify, such heads do not count, so after one round of screening, we only got about 150 heads of Jiannu, more than 300 heads of Mongolia, and more than 500 heads of Han army.
class!"
Finger-wide lasagna, as well as mutton and cabbage soup, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, mutton stewed with potatoes...
"Yongyan, what do you think?"
Cheng Shijie's frontline headquarters was located in Baliwan Town on the left bank of the Taizi River, but it was two completely different places from Bali Town in later generations.
Soon the breakfast of more than 300 military households went into the stomachs of these Jiannu slaves. But the problem was that the breakfast of more than 300 military households could only feed the teeth of more than 2,000 Jiannu slaves. So, they
Open the sack on the cart, take out the potatoes, wash off the mud on them, and boil them in a pot.
They have figured out the characteristics of the barbed wire fence. It is not very thick, but it is very tough. It is full of barbs and cutting edges. If you hang it lightly, the skin will be ripped open. The most disgusting thing is that even if there is no wind, this thing
It shakes slightly every time, and the knife has nowhere to exert force when cutting it, and it just can't stop cutting. The only way to destroy it is to cut off the wooden stake.
"Uncle Master, from Yongyan's perspective, this information may be true!"
The cavalry ran for less than an hour before daybreak.
But the problem is that those wooden piles are not that easy to cut. They are thick and hard. It takes a lot of effort to use a machete. The time it takes to cut a single wooden pile is enough to kill them ten times by Mingjun crossbowmen or musketeers.
Eight times!
This is indeed different from the mainland. It is made of reinforced concrete. The post station in a military town can be used as a temporary shelter at any time to protect nearby people and business travelers.
Cheng Shijie's motorcade did not stop at the inn, but passed directly through the inn. It did not even pass through Haizhou City. Cheng Shijie went directly to the front line.
Huang Taiji was in a very unhappy mood. He was forced to send troops this time because he could not buy food and the pasture had been burned for hundreds of miles. This winter was very difficult.
The really difficult place to attack this line of defense is not in the undefended Liao River and coastal areas, not even in Haizhou City, nor in Fuzhou City. Whether it is Haizhou City or Fuzhou City, they are all formulated by the General Staff Headquarters.
's trap.
Approaching the front line, Ning Haijun had more soldiers. The infantry patrolling on the checkpoints and on the road occasionally ran past the guard. The cavalry on the ground were all strong and strong, with sharp eyes, whether it was the spear in their hand or the saber on their body.
They were all made of fine materials. Most of these soldiers didn't speak a word. Even if they passed by, they wouldn't even glance at Sun Zhiliang. They came and went in a hurry, full of energy.
The original temporary military camp has been built into a city, especially with docks, warehouses, schools, factories, and living areas.
Cheng Shijie is very supportive of this business model of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation between advertising and benefiting the people. It has become a must-have for immigrants and has even given rise to many advertising methods, such as the first bill issued at the resettlement site.
Shoulder bags, tableware, bed sheets, shoes, and the exterior walls of the inn have all become places for advertisements.
"What regret?"
Sun Zhidao secretly calculated in his mind that if the quality of Ning Haijun's entire army was like this, then even if Cheng Shijie only had 10,000 troops, it would still be comparable to some Guan Ning troops who claimed to have 100,000 armors.
.
Abatai was also ambitious. He decided to raid Haizhou directly. If he successfully captured Haizhou, he would be the first to do so.
Firewood was piled under the iron bucket and a fire was burning, but you could see the hot steam rising up with the naked eye.
Abatai took a look at the grain on the cart and found that the grain was actually potatoes. However, he did not recognize them as potatoes and asked in confusion: "What is this?"
Huang Taiji selected elite soldiers from various banners, gathered together 2,000 men and horses, and took advantage of the darkness to run several dozen miles north before heading west.
Ning Haijun soldiers ate mutton and devoured it...
"The Ming army's barbed wire fence was deployed along the Taizi River to the Qianshan Mountains. There is no way to go through the mountainous areas. Now we can only go west and go south along the Liao River. They have no defense line deployed on the Liao River!"
On the east bank of the Liaohe River, the Liaohe River was frozen at this time, but the ice surface was not strong enough for war horses to cross directly. In order to cross the river, Abatai had people prepare straw mats in advance and spread them on the ice.
Since then, the war horses can cross the river smoothly.
"Run!"
A Jian slave pointed to the large pot hung by the military households on the roadside. Potatoes were boiling in the large pot. These potatoes were peeled, added with some salt, and cooked in large chunks.
"Can I eat it?"
Fortunately, there was no danger, and the two thousand or so riders successfully bypassed Ning Haijun's barbed wire fence from the Liaohe River.
The horses that Hu Erqi grabbed were not directly assigned to the cavalry department, but were dispersed to the baggage troops. The baggage troops were usually managed by Zhou Yandong. During wartime, these people were assigned to the various capital departments on a general basis. It can be said that now
The left and right divisions, plus the baggage troops, all had more than 10,000 people under their jurisdiction.
First of all, in Sun Zhiman's view, Cheng Shijie was absolutely sure to build roads, build houses, and dredge ditches. If he was not absolutely sure of victory, everything Cheng Shijie did was to make a wedding dress for Huang Taiji.
At this time, Cheng Shijie is no longer the poor man he once was. At least it is no longer difficult for him to treat all the soldiers in the army to a meal. Many pastures in southern Liaoning are raised in captivity, and cattle and sheep are raised in captivity.
Enclosed with barbed wire, cattle and sheep gain weight very quickly with less exercise. Especially thanks to Hu Erqi's contribution, Cheng Shijie owns hundreds of thousands of sheep. Not to mention eating a meal of meat, even the entire army will pay a few hairs per person.
All the sheep are still rich.
Now the shopkeeper of Tianji is still Tian Laowan. Laowan is not Tianyou’s real name. He is called Laowan because his family is really wealthy. Tianji paid for 6,000 sets of clothes and gave them to hundreds of project households for free.
Even Cheng Shijie was impressed by this way of advertising.
"It seems that everyone did a pretty good job while I was away in Liaonan!"
Even if he is from a family like Sun Chengzong, it is impossible for him to eat meat often because he is greedy.
As these military households placed carts and carts of grain on the roadside, the military households soon disappeared. Abatai successfully snatched more than 300 carts of grain without firing an arrow.
It's just that these slaves didn't realize that these potatoes, without exception, were all covered with green shoots.
However, these slaves did not know that sprouted potatoes could not be eaten, so tragedy inevitably happened.
What are the consequences of eating sprouted potatoes?
It is easy to cause food poisoning, causing weakness in the limbs, numbness at the corners of the mouth, nausea and vomiting. Just when these slaves were vomiting and urinating, densely packed Ning navy soldiers appeared in front of them.
A Ning navy officer laughed with a smile on his face: "Get rich, get rich, tie them all up for me!"
