Chapter 485: Military law is ruthless, drinking millet wine
Quan Cong paused and then said: "Even if they are oxen, donkeys and mules, as long as they are not from common people's homes, I will gather them up and collect them. They will be of great use when the time comes. I will thank you for your credit."
But remember, remember not to rob us now. If we are robbed, we will not be able to stand in Liaodong, and I will face your military law without mercy. Don’t blame me for being ruthless in military law!"
The accompanying generals all clasped their fists in the direction of Quan Cong on horseback and said: "I will obey the military orders of Grand Sima!" Even though Quan Cong said this, he would definitely not dare to rob him.
But secretly, I don’t know what will happen. After all, no one can tell clearly what is not on the bright side. As long as we don’t put the matter on the bright side and everyone turns a blind eye, it’s still not possible.
Take the credit,
When Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was studying in Chang'an, he and his classmates pooled together money to buy donkeys, invested and made money by leasing "shared donkeys", and used the donkeys for business, which can be said to have broken the historical record of previous emperors.
Already.
During the reign of Emperor Suzong of the Han Dynasty, Deng Xun had already begun to use donkeys for transportation, which saved a lot of money. It was a double benefit.
During the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, one day the emperor suddenly wanted to ride a donkey, so he asked the eunuchs to go out to find it. Emperor Ling had never seen such an animal before and was very curious, so he rode a donkey around the palace every day.
For a time, officials in the capital all imitated Emperor Ling and learned to ride donkeys, which caused the price of donkeys to skyrocket. This harmed the people because they could not afford donkeys, which seriously affected the agricultural production of the year. The emperor's enthusiasm for riding donkeys was greatly affected.
It is extremely absurd to bring suffering to the common people.
During the Three Kingdoms period, due to the wars, horses were used by the military and many died in battles. There was an extreme shortage of horses among the people, so donkeys had to be used instead for driving. Therefore, donkeys served as an important means of transportation and labor in social life.
Over time, people developed feelings for donkeys, and the melodious brays of donkeys became particularly pleasant to the ears. Therefore, when people felt depressed, they would imitate donkey brays, even the emperor was no exception. It is said that Emperor Wen of Wei, Cao Pi, had this interest.
, often leading the ministers to make bursts of donkey braying in the wilderness!
While the ancients used donkeys, they also used mules for power, but the original mules were valuable.
It can be seen from this that in the Han Dynasty, donkeys and mules were already worth a lot of money. They were comparable to treasures such as coral, pearls and jade, and their value was very precious. Therefore, in the history of the Western Han Dynasty, donkeys and mules were rarely used for farming.
By the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to one or two hundred years of reproduction, the number of donkeys and mules had greatly increased, so they were used as sufficient transportation resources in daily life.
Of course, during the Han and Wei dynasties, the use of camels was also relatively common in the northwest region.
Looking at the development and use of animal power in land transportation during the Han and Wei dynasties, it can be seen that not only traditional horses, cattle, donkeys, and mules were used, but also novel camels, sheep, and elephants also appeared in the ranks of animal power.
It can be said that there are many methods, large scales, and different means and types.
At lunch time, Quan Cong arrived at the gate of Xinchang County with 5,000 soldiers and horses. By this time, the gunpowder smoke had already dispersed. The vanguard of the Wu Army had captured the city an hour ago without spending much force. After all, the city only had 500 soldiers.
The Wei army is not elite yet,
Quanxu lined up at the city gate to greet him. Quanxu led the army and saluted: "Da Sima, lunch has been prepared."
Quan Cong smiled and waved his hand and said: "Everyone, get up." Then he went to the county government office under the leadership of Quan Xu.
When he arrived at the county government hall, Quan Cong took off the long sword from his waist and put it aside. Then he sat down on the main seat, put his knees under his hips, put his hands on his knees, and straightened his body.
A very comfortable and relaxing sitting position.
Quan Cong waved his hand and motioned for the generals in the hall to sit down. After a while, several soldiers brought several large piles of steaming yellow cakes and several cans of fish soup.
Magistrate Wang, who stood aside and laughed, said: "Several generals, this county cannot compare with the land south of the Yangtze River. I only have these food to make you laugh, so you can make do with some."
Quan Cong smiled and picked up a piece of yellow cake and put it in his mouth to chew: "It doesn't matter, this is already very good. Magistrate Wang is a man who knows current affairs. I, Jiangdong, will not treat people like you badly. When Japan comes, Japan will
I will definitely report your Majesty’s achievements to the magistrate of Ming Dynasty.”
Magistrate Wang, who was standing aside, smiled bitterly, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Da Sima, for your guidance." At this moment, Magistrate Wang was in a dilemma.
If he completely surrenders to Jiangdong, how will he respond when the Wei army counterattacks in the future? He does not believe that the Wu army, which is based on the navy, can gain the upper hand in the hands of the Wei army, which is based on infantry and cavalry. When the Wei army counterattacks, he
Those who repeatedly betray will not end well.
So he still hopes that Wu Jun will keep winning, so that he can be promoted and do better. Although the chance of this is very small, now that he is on this boat, he has to take a gamble.
Quan Cong thought for a while and said: "I have heard that the carp, red beam and millet wine in Daliang River are good. After we capture the whole territory of Liaodong, you can all taste these good things."
Magistrate Wang answered: "Although there are no carp from Daliang River in this county, we do have Chiliang and Mizi wine. We can also arrange an ordinary fish feast."
In Chiliang, Liaodong, Emperor Wu of the Wei Dynasty (Cao Cao) thought of it as imperial congee. The so-called "Chiliang" refers to sorghum rice.
Cao Cao especially liked to eat big carps from the Taizi River in Liaoyang.
Cao Cao is from Anhui, and his hometown of Bozhou is a land of plenty. The rivers and lakes are full of fish, and there is no shortage of fish. Who would have thought that the carp in the Taizi River, thousands of miles away from the pass, would be so haunting to Cao Cao, who grew up eating small fish!
The carp from the Taizi River in Liaoyang that Cao Cao liked to eat may be the river fish stewed in sauce that Liaoning people are familiar with, or simply stewed in a big pot.
The most down-to-earth way is to burn wood, without using gas or electric fire.
Peel the skin of the fresh river fish and cut it into pieces. When it is about 60 to 70% cooked, open the pot, pour the Northeastern special soybean paste and a mixture of onion, ginger and garlic into it, and then simmer for four
Five minutes, the moment the lid is lifted, the room is filled with fish.
If you have fresh fish, you must pair it with good wine. Northeastern high-quality liquor must be above 53 degrees and is usually light or strong aroma.
The highly fragrant or strong-flavor liquor was invented by the ancient Northeastern people. A complete set of Liao Dynasty brewing vessels was found in Da'an County, Songyuan City, Jilin.
In the middle of the fish feast, yellow cakes are pasted on the four walls of the fish pot, called "Yang cakes". The most authentic cakes are made of millet and broomcorn millet, which are what the people call small yellow rice and large yellow rice.
Ranking at the forefront of "grains", it is an ancient Northeastern crop dating back at least seven or eight thousand years ago. Its origin is probably in the Northeast - millet and millet are produced in the Northeast, and rice is produced in the South. In ancient times, fish stewed in large pots in the Northeast,
In fact, it is stewed fish in clay pots, all of which are flat-bottomed pots.
Etiquette is necessary for banquets. In ancient times, Northeastern people stewed fish in large pots. When cooking fish in large pots, they called friends with great enthusiasm.
When meeting, the Xianbei people hug their waists, the Jurchens hug their knees, and the Khitan people hold hands and cross their hands. Crossing hands is similar to the fist-clasping ceremony of the Han people in the Central Plains. Holding hands means shaking hands. The handshake ceremony originated from Khitan.
The Northeast is not only a fishing and hunting culture, but also has a nomadic and farming culture. Not only the Han people cultivate the land, but also the Hu people.
County Magistrate Wang thought for a while and then said: "Actually, the Han people did not brew this millet wine first. The Huns planted millet to make wine, not to cook. They harvested millet to make millet wine. After drinking it, they continued to follow the reins and fight.
The eagle leads the dog, welcoming the morning sun and sending away the sunset, walking freely in the pure beauty of nature, what kind of comfortable life is that?"
Quan Cong waved his hand and said, "I won't drink any more today. When we capture the whole territory of Liaodong, I will drink millet wine with you all again!"
