Chapter four hundred and seventy-ninth feeling alive
The army must rest after fighting. If the tension on the battlefield is maintained all the time, people may go crazy. Only when you feel alive will you be afraid of death. When fighting, you will work harder to survive. Of course, the same is true during training.
There will be this sense of urgency.
"Sweat more before the war and bleed less during the war." This is a valuable experience that future generations of soldiers learned from the lessons of their ancestors.
And how to feel the happiness of life? The best way is to have a full meal and have a good sleep.
Even if the war in Huanzhou is urgent, Ye An will not harshly criticize the soldiers to quickly ban the army at this time. The Anhua Army is not large in number, but it is somewhat elite. This may be their greatest advantage.
A large pot was erected. Most of the kitchen utensils in ancient times were pottery. Only the kitchen utensils used during the march were iron pots. Firstly, they were easy to transport and secondly, they were sturdy.
Ye An had ordered these iron pots with Zhou Guozuo before setting off. Each team in the army had one iron pot, which was completely sufficient. As for the Huotou Army, they had been following the Chinese army from beginning to end, so they were not without combat effectiveness.
Although he was close to the general, even Cao Yi charged into the battle, and the Huotou army naturally followed suit and killed the enemy with blood.
Many of them have received considerable military honors. In addition, they are also responsible for setting up stoves and cooking, and they will also receive rewards.
The fat and thin pork belly is thrown into the big pot. It only takes a few times to flatten out a lot of oil and water. Then add onions, ginger, and garlic and stir-fry to remove the fishy smell. Add a little precious rice wine, and the aroma will spread out immediately.
Pork is cheaper than mutton, and it can also supplement protein. Add more salt and water to soak in the vermicelli. As for the pot lid, use a shield instead...
Although there are no sweet potatoes, the vermicelli is made from mung beans. There is a folk legend that Sun Bin invented this thing, but there is no way to verify whether it is true or false.
However, Ye An himself felt that this thing fully met the needs of the army's logistics support. It was convenient for transportation and had a good appetite. The key was that it could be used as both a dish and a meal.
Pork and vermicelli are perfect together, covered with a big bowl of brown rice, so these Anhua Army soldiers who had just come off the battlefield immediately started "war" again.
Eating is actually the most direct and easiest way to gain happiness. A good meal can make people feel that they are still alive...
The soldiers devoured the food happily. Ye An sat in front of his own big pot after finishing the meal. Tieniu deliberately poured some more thick broth on top. Ye An nodded with satisfaction towards the soldiers.
Said: "Don't be formal, just sit down and eat."
"Ye Shuai, you can do whatever you want, I'll just go and eat there while I'm alive."
Ye An pointed at the big pot in front of him with his chopsticks and said, "You are trying to force me to death! Don't worry about cooking and eating!"
Several people looked at each other. Among them, the older Zhao Hu poked Li Ergeng next to him and said: "Look at your potential! How can you shirk the Marquis when he asks me to wait for food and drink?!"
After saying that, he cupped his fists towards Ye An and said, "Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
Ye An smiled and nodded, while Tieniu happily served them rice, passing it to them one by one and saying, "From now on, we'll have to eat from the same big pot. Brothers, please take care of them!"
Several people didn't even dare to say it. They all came from the same village and were related to each other. Seeing Tieniu being so polite, they finally let go of their original restraint.
Zhao Hu took a big mouthful of rice and sighed happily, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Master Hou, we are all poor people. With the favor of Master Hou, we became your personal soldiers, but I heard that you are not the commander-in-chief."
, but a civil servant, a dignified deputy envoy to appease, this..."
Ye An was a little strange: "What do you mean by this?"
Tieniu whispered: "Zhao Hu and the others are worried that you will no longer want them, and they will not be able to work under your account in the future."
"That's it. Since you are my personal soldiers, you will also be my personal soldiers from now on. This time you have been on the battlefield. Zhao Hu, thank you for kicking the long sword over, otherwise I wouldn't use my bare hands? Xiang
The imperial court wants you, so I still have some dignity. As long as you are a son of a good family, I will have no problem with you."
Zhao Hu was overjoyed, and repeatedly raised his hands and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Hou, we and the others are all good people. Everyone in Xiaozhaozhuang can prove it, and they will definitely not make things difficult for Mr. Hou!"
After all, they are people who have been through life and death. Ye An doesn't care. They just hope to get a better life. They can settle down in Tokyo and even have the possibility of becoming another class.
From a soldier to a general, this is an essential difference. A soldier is just a subordinate, while a general is a person with a rare status in the mansion. They are not the same.
"Reporting to Yehou, the military merit book has been compiled. Please take a look at it!"
The military scribe carefully came over and handed over a document, which contained the account books that Ye An asked him to organize according to the belongings obtained by the soldiers cleaning the battlefield.
After simply opening it and looking at it, Ye An smiled and said, "Why do I have so much wealth? I'm afraid it's inappropriate. I'll keep some gold items and use the rest as rewards for the soldiers."
The clerk whispered: "General Cao has seen this. He said that he asked Marquis Ye to choose first so that he could make a decision..."
Ye An raised his eyebrows and turned around to see Cao Yi and Chen Lin squatting in front of the cauldron in the distance, smiling at him. He immediately felt contempt in his heart. If he wanted to get some benefits, he said directly that the spoils on the battlefield belong to the generals.
One portion is still the most.
This guy is worried that he won't take too much, and he won't be able to take more, but Ye An really doesn't need these things. He has a lot of property that even killed people in Huanzhou.
Should be panic.
"I told General Cao that according to the rules of the army, there is no need to care so much. My property will be given to the families of the dead soldiers. If there is any deception, military law will be dealt with."
The clerk looked at Ye An in slight surprise and whispered again: "Marquis Ye, all dead soldiers will receive pensions..."
"The Marquis has spoken, and you are still making so much noise?!"
Tieniu glanced at the clerk dissatisfied. This scene reminded him of the affairs of his own family. Ye An nodded and said: "It reminds me of this. Tieniu will supervise this matter. Be sure to let everyone
The families of every soldier who died in battle can receive pensions."
Tieniu clasped his fists and said: "Here! Hey...these people's fate is also at your hands, Lord Marquis. Unlike my father, who met a Shangguan with evil hands and evil heart! Brothers, they will go with me later.
Receive the reward. By the way, let’s see who dares to embezzle the military merits of soldiers who did not die in battle!”
Zhao Hu, Li Ergeng and others immediately agreed. They could see that Tieniu had a very high status in Ye An's heart. He was considered a true confidant and would definitely become the leader of several people in the future.
After dinner, Ye An took a walk in the army. It was still early in the morning, but the soldiers were exhausted from a night of digging and early morning fighting. The sound of sleeping snores could be heard in the army.
"You don't want to take anything from your little army? Why don't you let other people behave? Even if you want to win people's hearts, you should also consider others! Not everyone is like your Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion. The huge industry is in Tokyo.
The city is open, and every day there is a lot of gold!"
Cao Yi complained and leaned over. Chen Lin beside her burped and rolled her eyes. Ye An smiled and said: "Brother Cao, don't pretend to be poor in front of me. Who doesn't know that your Cao family's property is all over Tokyo?"
?If you feel sorry for yourself, you can distribute these extraneous things to the soldiers, and you can win a good reputation, right?"
"It doesn't matter, they are just dead people's things, just give them to them!"
Cao Yi was also open to it. This was a way for the two of them to make a name for themselves in the armies around the state. Only in this way would other officers and soldiers from other armies know how good the two of them were and would be willing to sacrifice their lives under them!
