Broad bean, also known as field bean, Buddha bean, field bean, Sichuan bean, Japanese bean, Luohan bean. It is an annual or biennial herb. It is a crop that can be used as food, vegetables, feed, and green manure. It originated in Southwest Asia and North Africa. It is said that Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty introduced it to China from the Western Regions.
.
There is nothing we can do about it. The Yunzheng camp is full of these things. This is the military ration provided by the imperial court. God knows why there is so much food sown in such a small area, and I don’t know which warehouse it was collected from.
The end of July is when the broad beans mature. As long as you peel them out of the thick pods and cook them, they are a good food. What's more, Yunzheng added salt, Sichuan peppercorns, and some unnamed spices to the pot where the broad beans are cooked.
, so the aroma of boiled broad beans is carried to far away places by the wind. Some grown-up teenagers still look at the place where the beans are cooked from time to time as they did when they were children. If they were still young, they could take advantage of the adults.
I would grab a handful of delicious food while drinking. Now that I have grown up, it is obviously not suitable for me to do this anymore.
I haven't seen Jiang Zhe for four years. The first time I met, I could only cook a pot of beans to entertain this hard-working brother. The handsome Jiang Zhe is now a bearded man from the northwest, with a dark face and dark eyebrows.
It's the vicissitudes of life.
Yun Zheng was already ready to hear his complaints, but Yun Zheng was surprised when this man opened his mouth.
"I heard that you are a popular drinker in Tokyo, and you are surrounded by countless beauties. You write poems and poems all day long that make people jealous. I heard that you are very amazing when you come out with a few poems for the Lantern Festival?" Jiang Zhe said.
He poured a glass of wine into his mouth and smiled.
Yun Zheng took out some beans from the pot, put them on a white porcelain plate and said with a smile, "You're not idle either. It's really impressive to raise three sons in more than four years."
Jiang Zhe laughed and said: "We have nothing but manpower. Outsiders cannot be trusted, so naturally we have to work harder to create people. You are not good at this. You have two wives and only one daughter. How can you show off to your brothers?"
?”
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the busy young people scattered in the camp and said: "Three thousand, these are children over fifteen years old. They are our own children and our own blood..."
Yun Zheng sighed and said: "Do you blame me for pulling them out too early? I should have waited for another two years. It's a pity that the war is pressing. The growth of the Song Dynasty's army is much slower than I thought. Wu Shengjun
There were a full 1,600 people dispersed to the Forbidden Army, but it was a pity that only 6,000 qualified soldiers were brought out, and a large number of Wu Sheng's soldiers not only failed to take the lead, but also themselves deteriorated.
Fortunately, Lang Tan and the others did a good job, and there were many good soldiers in the Xiang army. Wu Jie, Sun Dazhi, and Hou Dayi. The four of them have tried their best. Without them, I would have faced no one this time.
It’s an embarrassing situation.”
"What's going on with Zhou Tong?" Jiang Zhe asked with a frown.
"He now wholeheartedly wants to be an official. Now he has become a martial arts master of the fourth grade. He has lost the enterprising spirit of the past. This time my situation was too dangerous, so he did not follow me!" Yun Zheng said lightly.
Jiang Zhe punched the dirt and had nothing to say. He made it clear when he founded the Youth Army that he could leave at any time if he wanted, so Zhou Tong didn't care who he could feel sorry for now.
The anger lasted only a moment, and Jiang Zhe's unhappiness lasted for a short time. He proudly took out an account book from his arms and said: "This is the account book of the fortress, take a look!"
Yun Zheng took the account book with a smile and said: "Actually, you don't need to look at it to know that the situation must be very gratifying, otherwise you wouldn't be so eager to take credit. It seems that you have done some things besides creating people in the past few years. .”
Jiang Zhe punched Yun Zheng on the shoulder and said: "The fortress is not so much a stockade as it is already a prosperous city. The goods in the North are now starting from the fortress to Jingzhao Mansion and the Central Plains." Spread, just tax revenue is enough to support the Youth Army, not to mention that most of the fortress’ industries are our own, so we are said to be very wealthy.”
"How are the people sent by the emperor? Are all the selected gun and stick instructors really capable? I also heard that some children from the royal family have entered the youth army. How are their performances?" Yun Zheng lowered his head and looked at the account book by the light of the fire. , seeing the government expenditures on the account books, he couldn't help but ask.
"The supervisor of the army was the eunuch Li Xian. During the reign of Emperor You, he joined the inner Huangmen and was promoted to the enshrinement officer. He followed the path of Concubine Shu, and he did his duty in the army. He did not interfere with the training and operations of the young army on weekdays. The young army He was able to follow me when I went to cut grass and grain in Xixia's Cuta Village, and there were not many eunuchs who were so courageous."
"Be careful, Chen Lin has never been a good person. I still can't see through that old guy, but one thing has been confirmed. He is only loyal to Zhao Zhen. People like Pang Ji have repeatedly tried to send him to Zhao Zhen. People who go to the fortress to check are always blocked by him. Concubine Shu is now confused. Although we were close in the early years, we are not sure now. No one in the royal family is simple.
Royal children can join the Youth Army, but the treatment is the same. You must grasp this, and we must not relax the ideological strategies we formulate. Even a piece of wood can smell a little bit after a few years in the Youth Army."
Jiang Zhe said with a smile: "We have never been in the habit of relying on others, and there is no one worthy of our reliance. The emperor's favor is the most unreliable thing. If you want to independently control your own destiny, you must be prepared to endure hardships and train yourself. Only When we are strong to a certain extent, we will not be controlled by others."
Yun Zheng put away his account book and stood up with his hands behind his back and said quietly: "The capital is like a huge prison to me. Under Chen Lin's repeated pressure, I had to withdraw all the astrolabe from Tokyo without giving him anything to find." Taking advantage of the opportunity to launch an attack, in the past two years in Tokyo I have only focused on planning the war and not managing the fortress. It’s not that I don’t pay attention to it, but that I can’t. The fortress is destined not to belong to a certain person, nor can it be a tool of a certain person. , If that's the case, I would rather destroy him with my own hands. Jiang Zhe, from today on, the name of the fortress will be - Eagle's Nest. From today on, the astrolabe will be subordinate to the Eagle's Nest and will no longer be under the command of the Yun family.
After this war is over, the Eagle's Nest will activate the elder system that has been discussed long ago!"
Jiang Zhe smiled and said: "Sure enough, we still have to take this step. I thought you were joking at first. I agree with your suggestion, but Zhou Tong must be excluded."
Yun Zheng nodded, picked up the wine glass, touched it with Jiang Zhe, and drank it in one gulp.
If you eat too many beans, your stomach will be bloated, and you will naturally fart if you have a bloated stomach. After finishing the housework, Yun Zheng stood on the windward side and happily emptied the waste gas in his stomach. He felt great, and it was a lot of trouble for him in Tokyo.
The bird air also disappeared.
The military camp in Jiming Mountain is still under construction day and night. Han Dacheng personally went to supervise the evacuation of the people. He Xingzhou stayed in the camp and was responsible for rebuilding the camp. He was very concerned about it. After all, this camp will be Fengxiang Mansion.
The barrier between He and Fengzhou cannot tolerate his failure to do his best.
At first, he was very dissatisfied with those young people who made irresponsible remarks, but soon he discovered that some of these young people were specialized in civil engineering, and they were far more familiar with agency news than
Those old craftsmen.
"This is a horse-fighting horse. It must be wrapped with barbed wire. There can only be a distance of three feet between the first and second lines, otherwise it will not work as it should."
"This is caltrops. We improved it and turned it into a triangular thorn. It is used to prevent cavalry and infantry from charging. You must be careful when you sprinkle it. These caltrops have been soaked in horse manure. Once they are punctured,
It is difficult for the skin to grow well, and in severe cases, one may die."
Unknowingly, He Xingzhou discovered that his power had been taken away by those young men, relying not on Yun Zheng's power, but on their own rich knowledge.
"Listen to them!" This was the order He Xingzhou gave to his assistant officers and master craftsmen. Seeing the defense systems being established made him forget the discomfort of being ignored.
The Jiming Mountain camp was busy, with cavalry constantly galloping out of the camp, and messengers constantly coming from Tokyo, or running towards Qin Wangchuan...
Five days ago, when the last batch of support supplies arrived at Qinwangchuan, the officials who returned with the supplies said that the fire on Guangwu Ridge had been extinguished, but the unsuspecting army did not come down from Guangwu Ridge and began to fight for it.
Instead, Qin Wangchuan camped in Guangwu Ridge and confronted Fu Bi of Qin Wangchuan.
The best news is that there is no war. The Song Dynasty army in Qin Wangchuan has sufficient supplies. It would not be convenient if he did not hide the enemy. He swarmed from Qingtang like locusts along the way. The military resources on hand must not be too much.
If they had a choice, they would not choose to eat human flesh. As far as Yun Zheng knows, there are not many perverts in the world who like to eat human flesh.
It would be great if it was really a confrontation, which meant that Pang had been fooled if he didn't hide anything. However, the probability was too small, so Yun Zheng had to send a large number of scouts to find out the real news. There must be something wrong with it.
During the days of waiting for the news, Yunzheng's subordinates and subsequent military supplies came to Chencang in a steady stream. The Song Dynasty spent all its national power to support this war. As long as it was something Yunzheng proposed, the court would
He would try every means to provide it, and no one in the civil or military circles of the Manchu Dynasty raised any objection to this.
Yun Zheng knew that the current calm was to accumulate strength for the future explosion. This time, whether he defeated or lost, he would not have a good life. The only difference was that if he defeated, he would not die, but would only be annoyed.
After the war was defeated, the emperor was extremely gracious that the whole family could go fishing in Yazhou. (To be continued)
