After Qin Feng returned to Manila, the Ming Dynasty court immediately issued a siege against Qi, and the battle to unify the world began.

The Ming Dynasty's national mobilization, whether in the western region, Chu region, or the Ming Dynasty, immediately entered the rhythm of war. Countless retired soldiers wore their armor, took their weapons, and gathered on the spot. A village was a corps, a township was a sentry, and a county formed a lieutenant, and a county formed a complete battle camp. The troop commander, the lieutenant, was recommended by the soldiers, and the lieutenant who commanded a county and the yamen general who led a battle camp, existed in the county in the Ming Dynasty's official system. They also organized these retired soldiers to be regular in the slack season or in the fixed school motto every year, and were quite familiar with the soldiers under their command.

Every day, you can see teams of soldiers running from each village to the county with high morale, and then from the county to the county.

The soldiers who were in business after retirement entrusted their goods to their partners. After seeing the recruitment order, the retired soldiers who served as guards and bodyguards immediately resigned from their homes and joined a gathering force without hesitation. After reporting their names, positions, and the names of the troops before retirement, they would be immediately included in the army. The Ming Dynasty's perfect retirement system was not worried that anyone would impersonate the army, because after everyone's names were subjected to the proofreading, the roster would be sent to the Ministry of War for proofreading. Next, these people would be transferred back to their original place again.

It seems that they are all temporary recruitment, but the combat effectiveness of each battalion is not inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty's standing army. These battalions began to assemble in the war zone. The highest commander in the western region was Chen Zhihua, the highest commander in Chu was Yang Zhi, and the highest commander in the Ming Dynasty was monk Huang Hao.

In less than a month, the Ming Dynasty quickly assembled 200,000 retired soldiers and formed three large combat groups. In the war zone, these troops will be equipped with artillery troops and other technical troops. After getting familiar with each other, they will immediately become the reserve force of the main combat troops.

The army was mobilizing, and the people were naturally making their own contributions to this war. In fact, every Ming people knew very well that it would come sooner or later. After the imperial court issued a national mobilization order, everyone was not surprised at all, but just smiled knowingly.

It's finally started! This is the most common sentence that everyone has said recently.

The Commercial Department led by Wang Yueyao took the lead in action. Several industry associations under the Commercial Department launched a call for donations for unification within the association. In just a short period of time, members of major industry associations donated huge sums of tens of millions of taels. This donation trend quickly affected all the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Merchants are donating money and materials for the great cause of unification. If you don’t say that the people who eat the salary of the court are not right, right? So from the chief minister to the bottom of the officials, millions of taels of silver, they were immediately included in the fund of the Unification War.

But this is not the end, and more people joined in.

The farmers launched an activity to donate rations for each household to ten days, and the workers launched an activity to donate wages for a month. Countless money and grain poured into the treasurys in the court. Many local governments did not expect such a thing to happen at all. They were at a loss for a moment and donated too much, so that there was no treasury to store these things. They had to build a few big treasurys to temporarily store them.

One after another, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue all asked the court to send people to transport or deal with these piles of materials. This is the support of the people for the court, their enthusiasm for unifying the world, and their loyalty to His Majesty. If this is broken or rotten, the loss of money is a small matter. Let the people see that their donations are not used to be used and are wasted in vain, that is a big matter.

For a moment, the Ministry of War and Revenue were all worried about this.

Of course, this is a happy trouble for them. If the emperors and officials of Qi know this trouble, they will definitely curse: "Bitches are pretentious."

Because the people of Qi were suffering in great pain for raising enough money and food. Xian Bisong had done something like blackmail. As a magistrate of the court, he now doesn't even want to be faced.

Qin Feng is naturally very happy.

He was in the palace now, and Qin Wu and his son were waving spatulas and stir-frying a pot of fried noodles vigorously. The fragrance of fried noodles was floating in the room. Yinggu and Xiaowen sat on one side, sewing food bags. Min Ruoxi, who had never had any feelings for needlework, could only take a small spatula and fill the cooled money noodles into the sewn small pocket. Eunuch Le smiled and tied the filling food bags and then sorted them neatly.

These grain bags were carried by the Ming soldiers. The slender bags were convenient for soldiers to carry on their bodies. During the long march, if they were hungry, they could take out a handful of food and use them to wrap their stomachs. Of course, if you have free time, you can sit down, burn a pile of fire, and boil a pot of soup with a helmet, it will be even more delicious.

The military rations of the Ming Dynasty are actually very diverse now. Things like canned iron have begun to be used in the military on a large scale, but this most primitive military ration has not been eliminated. In many cases, soldiers have no chance to set up camp and enjoy a meal in a good manner. Therefore, fried noodles that can be eaten at any time are still standard. In order to make these soldiers more delicious, there are more military food factories that specialize in making ingredient bags.

At the earliest, these food factories only made some vinegar cloth, salt cloth and other things. These things are simple and easy to use and can solve the taste problems of soldiers. They have always been indispensable in the army. However, with the development of the Ming Dynasty over the years, various spices and seasonings from overseas entered the Ming Dynasty and became popular. Original seasonings such as Hanbu and salt cloth were gradually replaced by the latest styles of seasoning bags. Almost every county has such a factory, which makes their favorite stocking bags based on the taste of the soldiers of the county.

It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not simply reflected in their advanced weapons, but also in these mechanisms that consider the soldiers in all aspects. It is precisely these things that don’t seem very conspicuous, but they make the soldiers’ morale more high. After the Ming soldiers set foot on the battlefield, they only need to do one thing, that is, fight and find ways to win. As for other things, there will naturally be someone who will handle them clearly and clearly.

Don’t worry about not eating well, don’t worry about not getting well treated after being injured, don’t worry about being disabled, don’t worry about being disabled in the future, and don’t worry about what happens after you die in battle.

Everyone in Qi knows these things, but they just can't do them. If you want to do such things, the first thing you have to do is that you have enough money. When the soldiers of Qi are still glad that they can eat enough, the logistics of Ming Dynasty has already thought about how to make the soldiers eat better. Being able to eat the taste of their hometown in a foreign land is also a rare enjoyment for the soldiers.

In fact, when the people in various parts of the Ming Dynasty began to prepare fried noodles for the soldiers spontaneously, the relevant food factories had already prepared everything for the soldiers. Of course, these spontaneous preparations by the people would not be wasted. Don’t forget that the Ming Dynasty has gathered 200,000 reserves, and they will soon become consumers of these things.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Qin Feng's family, regardless of whether they were voluntarily or not, of course they would join this wave.

These grain bags all carry special signs, indicating that they came from the Ming Dynasty Palace and were made by the emperors, empresses and princes.

In fact, this fragrance is floating above the entire Yuejing City, and almost every household is doing the same thing.

"Father, is it really necessary for us to do such a thing? In fact, I think we can use this time to do something more important." Qin Wu asked in confusion while flipping through the pot of new banknotes that had already filled with fragrance.

"Do you think this is not important?" Qin Feng laughed: "Indeed, the army does not lack this little food for us, but this is an attitude. Sometimes, we must do things that seem meaningless, because its inner meaning has far exceeded the meaning of the matter itself. Don't you think how much encouragement the army when these things appear in the army?"

Ying Gu on the side smiled and said, "Your Highness, it's actually not just us now. I'm afraid that all the families of all the high-ranking officials in Yuejing are doing the same thing. Of course, they are not as idle as His Majesty, so they must have no time to do these things."

Eunuch Le said, "My aunt is right. Everyone is doing these things, but like Jin Shoufu, Fang and the Ministry of War, they have not been home for ten days."

Qin Feng laughed: "It turns out that I am just an idle person. Well, let's make more fried noodles!"

Min Ruoxi snorted, some fried noodles were stained with her face, which looked particularly funny. "Do you think these fried noodles with special marks are distributed to the soldiers. They really know how to eat them without secretly hiding them? I'm afraid that the soldiers who are distributed to these food bags will still be hungry."

"The Empress is too worried. The food bags made by His Majesty and the Empress have been handed over to the army. The generals will divide them up, but after displaying them to the soldiers, they will hide them carefully, or after a war is over, they will use them as the most valuable prize and reward the soldiers who have made great contributions. These fried noodles in the army did not exist to fill their stomachs."
