On the rare day of free time when moving Chu materials, many soldiers were called out by their superiors early in the morning, boarded their carriages and horses, and headed to Guangli Bridge in the west of the city. Because the first batch of military households moved from Shandong to Zhongdu Road,
It will arrive today.
The land and villages where these families were placed were selected from the abandoned farms around Zhongdu after the war. The prisoners had already prepared them and opened water canals. These soldiers came forward to take care of the autumn harvest and run the family well.
, even if it takes root in China next year.
However, it is normal that it is difficult to leave one's homeland. Although Guo Ning can enforce it, it is not necessary at the moment. Therefore, the Marshal's Office has come up with preferential conditions such as giving away cattle and distributing iron farm tools.
Even so, the number of the first batch of military households to respond was small, and most of them were soldiers who had made meritorious service in the war in Zhongdu. These meritorious soldiers generally received rewards and promotions after the war. This human life is as cheap as grass.
In that era, the benefits provided by Ding Haijun were enough to make them forget about the danger of fighting and the tragic deaths of their companions in large numbers.
Relatively speaking, they don't pay much attention to their own fields or even where to settle down. Instead, they have a faint desire to continue fighting and making meritorious deeds in the future.
At the end of the afternoon, these soldiers had already arrived at the head of Guangli Bridge. Since they were not in the military camp, everyone was rarely lazy, waiting on the bridge and looking up.
After sitting for a while, a fleet of boats passed by under the bridge. When the leader of the boat saw this group of fierce men sitting or standing, he subconsciously shrank his head and held the long pole in his hand tighter.
The military discipline of Dinghai Navy is very strict, and the soldiers do not bully the people. But they are the victors after all. They are the people who followed the commander to defeat the powerful enemy and took control of the city. It is inevitable that they are a little arrogant. Seeing this cowardice, many soldiers immediately
There was a lot of laughter, and someone even poked his head under the bridge with a playful smile and shouted: "Old man, do you need all the money to buy a sheep?"
Zhang Peng did not mess around with his companions. He counted the sheep loaded on a ship as quickly as possible, then counted the number of ships in a long queue with thick ropes, and then sighed with some frustration.
After this battle, Ding Haijun continued to report his achievements and promoted many soldiers.
Zhang Peng had the merit of tenaciously daring to fight and cooperating to kill Mongolian army officers. However, he had little experience in the army, so he was temporarily transferred to Guo Ning's headquarters. In addition to his daily military life, he had to participate in a camp every three days.
Only those who pass the military academy's courses and pass the examination can become a general.
Guo Ning opened a military school in the Xijunhe camp, and the content he taught was so complete that Du Shisheng was convinced at first sight. But the prerequisite for this kind of knowledge to spread widely is that besides Guo Ning, there are a large number of people with the same knowledge.
Level teachers.
To this day, Ding Haijun cannot recruit these people, so the scale of the military academy continues to expand, but the depth of the content taught inevitably declines. For example, in the camp military academy for grassroots officers, the course content is only about literacy and numeracy, and take-away narration.
Just some stories from the Han and Tang Dynasties.
Zhang Peng was young and had a sharp mind. He had learned multiplication in military school, so when he saw the fleet, he planned to show off his skills. Unfortunately, there were more than ten sheep on each ship, and the number of ships was also more than ten. He memorized
The formula couldn't cope with this, so I had to give up now.
His boss, Lao Liu, laughed and said: "What's so great about this? The day before yesterday, Zhao Jieshuai sent people to Zhongdu to seize more than 300 horses, as well as more than 2,000 donkeys and mules, with the most sheep.
There are more than 20,000 head. This fleet can carry at most 3,000 head."
Since Genghis Khan returned to the north, Juyongguan returned to the control of the Jin Kingdom, and Jinshan Mountain and Huairou in the north were also recovered one after another. The land in this area is suitable for farming and grazing, and there are several small Wanggu tribes active. As soon as Zhao Jue arrived with his troops,
These small tribes either fled north or surrendered immediately.
Zhao Jue collected the seized items and transported them back to Zhongdu one after another.
Under the guise of the Koreans, the Du Marshal's Office was able to restart trade with the Southern Dynasty this month. Therefore, these livestock were sent directly to Zhigu Village and transported southward by sea.
Among the materials traded between the Capital Marshal's Mansion and the Southern Dynasty, horses are the most profitable items, while cattle must be imported in the opposite direction. Now that we can sell some extra sheep, it will be a small supplement.
The news of the success of the Korean fleet reached Zhongdu a few days ago. It will still be more than a month before the fleet arrives. The price of grain in Zhongdu has already dropped in response, and pigs and sheep have also become cheaper. Now the price of a large sheep is about four thousand dollars.
, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, one pound of mutton could be sold for nine hundred coins.
Therefore, the profit from selling sheep just offset the shortage of money caused by purchasing grain. No wonder the marshal hurriedly transported it out.
When Lao Liu thought of this, his eyes looked particularly soft when he looked at the sheep on the boat, and he drooled.
He patted Zhang Peng on the shoulder: "I heard that the marshal also detained hundreds of sheep. He is going to give extra meals to the soldiers stationed in Zhongdu tonight! We have fifty brothers here, including family records, there will be three hundred people.
...You can always get two or three sheep, right? A big sheep produces twenty kilograms of meat, the sheep's head and brains, and the lungs are also delicious. The bones are used to make soup, and as for the sheep's hooves...how to make sheep's hooves?"
Zhang Peng immediately replied: "Sheep's hooves need to be roasted to taste delicious. First remove the dirt and boil them; then use a knife to make dense cuts, and apply onions, leeks and sauce; wait until they are delicious.
, put it on the fire and roast it, and the mutton fat will sizzle out! By the way, there is also the mutton tail, which is also delicious when grilled..."
Lao Liu is greedy, and Zhang Peng likes cooking. The two are a natural match. But both of them are poor people in Shandong. They occasionally eat meat and fish in their lives, usually stewed or boiled. Now
When Zhang Peng talked about roasting sheep's hooves, Lao Liu had never seen him actually make it, so he was inevitably a little worried.
"Can it really be delicious? Can't you make a lake?"
Zhang Peng shouted: "My mother taught me this method! When she was young, she worked as a cook for Jurchen officials. Her skills are very good and she can't go wrong!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After shouting, he suddenly became worried: "Why hasn't my mother arrived yet? Didn't I say that I can meet her at noon?"
"Look up and see, where is the sun? Why are you so anxious! My wife and little baby are also here! Our mistress is also coming with the motorcade. Marshal Guo went to greet her early in the morning. You can
One hundred, one thousand hearts!”
Before he finished speaking, Qingcai with small flags on their backs appeared on the west side of the road. More than ten cavalrymen were not walking fast. Sometimes the horses came to the roadside to chew a few mouthfuls of young grass, but they did not stop them. Apparently they were in a relaxed mood. The queue
Inside, there were knights dressed as marshal's attendants accompanying them, riding their horses and chatting happily.
The soldiers on the bridge stopped talking and stood up all of a sudden. Some of them had trembling hands and feet. They seemed to suddenly recall the hardships and hardships of fighting in the army, and thought of the many companions who went north together half a year ago.
I was injured on the battlefield, but I thought of my family's tenderness and blessings before departure.
When the knights waved to them, Zhang Peng found himself walking forward involuntarily. He walked faster and faster, and at some point he changed from walking to trotting, and from trotting to running. He heard
I panted violently, feeling a little ashamed. I hurriedly looked around and found that my companions were all running.
These people suddenly started running, startling the sentries and attendants.
A familiar attendant laughed and cursed a few times, and shouted to others to rein in their horses and make way for them. He watched them swarm past and towards the approaching motorcade.
With Li Ting's drastic actions in Hebei, the road from Shandong to Zhongdu has been completely opened, but there are inevitably some areas that are not stable enough along the way. Therefore, the size of the convoy is very large, and there are many escorts accompanying it, as well as the vehicles themselves.
It is not an ordinary cargo transport vehicle, but a double-shaft cart with a square roof or dome that can shield the dust.
Several of the vehicles were pulled by two horses, and there were people on both sides of the vehicle who were on foot or riding mules and horses to look after them.
When the soldiers approached the motorcade, half of the children couldn't hold back their temper, jumped off the roof of the car, and ran towards their father or brother; some old men tremblingly got out of the car, watching their sons kowtow and put their foreheads on the ground.
Smashed hard into the dirt.
When the convoy was full of joy, in the largest carriage, Lu Han was lying sideways, curled up next to Guo Ning like a cat. She and Guo Ning were childhood sweethearts, and they became closer after their marriage. They liked to lean against Guo Ning like this.
In her arms, she looked up at her husband's hard chest and chin.
Guo Ning carefully reached out and put his arms around Lu Han's obviously bulging belly. He saw a strand of hair on his wife's face, which was blown up and down by the thin breath. Hearing the joyful shouts of the soldiers outside, he felt particularly calm.
The two were cordial for a while, and Guo Ning asked softly: "Do you want to go out and meet the soldiers? It will be done in a moment."
After all, Lu Han was pregnant, had low energy, and got sleepy easily. But since Guo Ning said it, she nodded.
Guo Ning bent down and carefully helped her out of the carriage of the cart.
Lu Han couldn't help but laugh: "How can it be so valuable?"
At this time, many soldiers gathered around the convoy, divided into small groups, talking happily to their families. When Guo Ning and his wife stood outside the car, everyone turned to look at them.
Guo Ning held her head high and laughed, while Lu Han's cheeks were red and he was holding his belly with one hand. There were many soldiers in front of her, whom she had seen before, and she could still call them by their names. Because of this, at this moment
