At 2:50 in the morning, Yang Fan was awakened by the vibration of his cell phone. He climbed up from the mat that was spread on the ground and was similar to the size of a yoga mat. He saw that the guards around him were already arranging their equipment.
A guard handed over a hot towel cooked in an alcohol stove, and Yang Fan wiped his face. Then, he and the soldiers had dinner together. Breakfast was toasted naan bread and dehydrated vegetable soup.
This is the standard picnic for Yang Fan's army. If you want to add a meal, add a sausage for each person.
This kind of marching gasoline stove, alcohol stove, and kerosene stove all have a grill around the flame, which does not affect the sitting of a pot on it. Forty sausages can be cooked on all sides. These grilled sausages are similar to those sold in later generations. They are full of starch.
It is made with fat meat and minced offal.
However, these sausages are much larger than those of later generations. They are one foot long and one inch in diameter. They can be cut with a bayonet and eaten separately. When marching and camping, it is also convenient to roast them around the campfire with a bayonet.
There are more than ten flavors to eat. The most popular ones among officers and soldiers are the original flavor and black pepper flavor.
This kind of intestinal supplement is made from the cheapest chicken bone paste, which is made from the slaughtered cattle and sheep on the grassland, with part of the meat, fascia, soft tissue, and brittle bones, crushed in a crusher. It is shipped to the meat joint.
After the factory, it is made by adding various seasonings, starch, fat pork puree, cooked corn particles, shredded mushrooms, sugar, salt, MSG, etc.
The taste is very good, especially the roasted sizzling oil, which smells very appetizing.
In fact, this stuff is all junk food. But it has tons of calories.
In this era, people's desire for fat and calories is something that future generations cannot understand. They love to eat this kind of junk sausage.
Yang Fan added lettuce and two small slices of grilled sausage with salad dressing to two pieces of grilled toast. He ate it with one hand, and used the pork kidney-shaped lunch box in the kettle and lunch box set with the other hand to drink delicious food.
Vegetable soup.
This kind of soup is made by adding lard cubes, soup cubes and quick-frozen dehydrated vegetables to boiled water. It is very convenient and fast. It is especially suitable for military picnics. In winter, when you get out of your sleeping bag in the snow, you can have hot soup to drink and keep you warm.
These quick-frozen dehydrated vegetables retain vitamins and various nutrients to the maximum extent.
Yang Fan's troops are very proud to have dehydrated vegetables to eat all year round. In this era, even the emperor would not be able to eat these colorful vegetables in winter.
Seeing the vegetables restored after boiling, they wanted to eat them all on their tongues.
Zhang Wudian, Liu Hongxun, Yang He, and Yang Sichang were sitting around Yang Fan. There were some opened tinplate and glass cans in the middle. They were all small cans weighing two kilograms. There were braised pork, fried sea fish, pickled cucumbers, and pickles.
Fried peanuts, etc.
This was a special treatment given by Yang Fan to entertain them. Normally, Yang Fan always ate the same thing as the officers and soldiers.
Yang He was very surprised when he ate these things that he had never eaten before. These things were very delicious, using a lot of spices, and the texture was particularly good. He also sighed in his heart that Dingyuan Hou was rich enough to feed his servants such good things. No wonder.
His green-skinned troops are world-famous.
Yang He had bad teeth, so he could only break up the naan cakes and soak them in the soup until they were soft before eating. This would make them easier to digest. Yang Sichang broke up the naan cakes for the old man beside him and served him to eat.
"Dingyuan Marquis, I still think that the nature of heaven and earth is noble. It is better not to kill, and it is better to kill less. After all, these people have surrendered. If they are all killed, I am afraid no one will dare in the future.
Surrender again."
Yang He still has some virginal feelings. In addition, recruitment is also his political achievement. If he is killed like this, wouldn't it deny the achievements of his work here?
Yang Fan smiled and said: "The General Secretary has a kind heart, and the younger generation admires them. People like them, who disobey military orders and refuse to leave, should be killed according to military law."
There is nothing wrong with Yang Fan's words. General Zhengxi is very strict in running the army. He beats drums to gather generals, and if the three drums are not used, he will be beheaded. What's more, these bastards delayed it for a day and a night and refused to leave the camp. Even if they beheaded them all, it would still be in compliance with military law.
.
Zhang Wudian and Liu Hongxun also nodded, this makes sense.
"However, I want to show respect to the General Secretary today. As long as these people abandon their weapons and surrender, as long as they do not resist arrest, we will never kill them. However, if we want these people afterwards, they must be handed over to military judges for review and screening. Let's see how they look after they are recruited.
Are there any new crimes? If so, as officers and soldiers not only do not repent of their past mistakes, but also know and break the law and continue to violate laws and disciplines, then the crime will be increased."
Yang Fan finished the soup, put down his lunch box, and continued: "At that time, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, how to deal with it will not be tolerated. Those who have not committed any crime will never be implicated."
Yang He sighed, he had nothing to say.
How could he not know what these shameless bastards have done? I'm afraid there are very few clean people. It seems that his strategy of recruiting them has completely failed. Maybe the court will hold them accountable.
However, it is the lesser of two evils. If the chaos in northern Shaanxi is not controlled, it may lead to chaos in the northwest, and it will not be as simple as being impeached by the censor. He may lose his head or even bring trouble to his family.
Forget it, let Yang Fan do it.
As long as he can control the fire situation everywhere, he doesn't care much. Yang Fan is right, it is useless to give him money and food. There are too many people in Shaanxi who have no food to eat.
These people can either stay at home and starve to death quietly, or they can go out and steal, steal, rob roads, and become bandits. Or they can simply rebel.
Now, only the landlords and gentry have food in their homes. Only the government treasury has food. If they don't want to starve to death, they have no choice but to rebel.
Yang Fan can't feed all these people. How can he have so much food?
An hour later, the army finished their meal and immediately began to set off in formation.
At this time, it was still dark, and although there was a moon, it was still very dark. However, none of these people had night blindness and moved quickly and quickly.
Yang He watched with envy. Ming officers and soldiers could not attack at night because they were all malnourished and almost as blind as a blind man in the dark. They easily fell into ditches while walking and sprained their feet. They could not see clearly what was under the shadow.
Trees are still people.
There were more than 10,000 people, but no one spoke. Under the moonlight, there was only the sound of footsteps rustling on the ground.
Yang Sichang was envious. He wished he had such a taciturn army. He also had a dream in his heart to govern the country and bring peace to the world.
Yang Fan carried a backpack and ran with his soldiers along with the team.
Zhang Wudian, Liu Hongxun, and Yang He were arranged by Yang Fan to slide poles, and they were tricked into running away by two strong soldiers.
After all, these old men are all seventy years old. Let them march on foot and they will be exhausted.
Yang Sichang was too embarrassed to sit on the slide. He was only in his early thirties, so he also ran along with Yang Fan. But after a while, he was sweating profusely, panting like an ox, and his chest was burning.
I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to be carried away by two soldiers.
