After the establishment of the Wei Empire, Guo Peng spent several years discussing with the Ministry of Finance and the military supplies department, and stipulated a very strict ration supply system for the army.

The future military treatment will be based on this system and must not be wrong.

First, the army's rations are divided into three types: rations for garrisoning, rations for marching and rations for combat.

The rations stationed are the favorites of the Huotou Army because they are the most convenient.

The marching rations are not liked by the Huotou Army and the combat troops, because they are the most monotonous and unpleasant, and they are very tiring to make.

Combat rations are loved by combat troops because they are the most abundant and the oil and water are the most prosperous.

Stationing rations is the easiest thing for the fire-headed troops.

The army is stationed in place and has a fixed residence. The firemen don’t have to run around with the army. The kitchen is also set up, and the application is the most complete. It starts directly when the meal is at dinner time. You can still rest when you have time, which is particularly convenient.

Military camps are generally fixed. The so-called iron-clad soldiers are relatively fixed. How many things are sent to the military camps?

When the army goes out to train, the fire-tou soldiers can cook calmly. When the meal is ready, the trained army will come back and everyone will have a meal together.

The military's staple food is mainly wheat and rice from the south. These two staple foods have the largest planting area under Guo Peng's rule, the highest yield, and the most overflowing, and are most suitable for use as military staple food.

When there was no combat mission to be stationed in the camp, the army ate steaming cooked rice or wheat rice, and then served with meals and hot soup.

The dishes are generally fried and stewed with large pots, and salt and soy sauce are not missing.

Because the most basic ration for the army is the ration for stationed ration, and the most common food is the most detailed.

Under the leadership of the emperor, the logistics department and the old hotheads agreed on a ten-day rotation menu.

What to eat on the first morning, what to eat at noon, what to eat at night, what to eat on the second day, and what to eat on the third day.

After ten days of cycle, you will finish the menu, and then start over again and repeat.

Try not to let soldiers get tired of eating, and also make the soldiers consume more balanced nutrition.

Meat is the most common chicken, duck, cattle, sheep, and pork that were raised in the Wei Empire. It is also mixed with horse meat, fish and other meats, and it is regularly and regularly.

Although you can't eat meat every day, compared to the days when you didn't see meat for half a year, the military life is much better now. It won't be like eating a meal of meat like the New Year in the Han Empire.

After Guo Peng occupied Qingyan Prefectures and began to raise livestock on a large scale, the Wei army could only eat a meal of meat for about ten days. After occupying Hebei, the number increased to every meal every five days.

By the time Yuan Shu was defeated and became the strongest prince, generally speaking, the army would be able to eat a meal in three or four days. Guo Peng had a huge force and had more accumulation, and of course he would not treat the soldiers unfairly.

After the establishment of the Wei Empire and the development of economy and transportation greatly, the Wei army stewed meat in one or two days was the norm, and the variety of meat eating also developed a lot.

In addition to meat, of course, vegetables are indispensable. It is better to say that vegetables are the main food.

There are various seasonal green leafy vegetables, and you can eat whatever you want. In early spring and winter, when there is a lack of vegetables, you will use the storage-resistant cabbage as the protagonist.

Guo Peng once ordered the farm to widely plant Chinese cabbage, a storage-resistant vegetable, as an important winter vegetable among the people, which can be used by the people and of course the army can also be used by the people.

On the cold winter days, Chinese cabbage stew is the most popular hard dish for soldiers.

A large pot of steaming cabbage stewed meat or fish, such as stewed, is stewed sour and has a strong taste. A small team of soldiers gathered together to eat it, and Silihulu could eat several buckets of rice.

Soldiers without combat missions are not just training.

The garrison must be dispatched for any geological disasters in the surrounding areas. During this emergency rescue and disaster relief season, soldiers also have special food and treatment, such as eating meat every day and even eating fruits.

Basically, since the training of recruits in the camp, the army has eaten this kind of food. People with noodles and dishes enter the camp, and they will become fierce men in a few years.

So there is a saying among the people that joining the army means to support the army.

After a large number of training and combat missions or emergency rescue missions, take a bath in a nearby river and then come back together to eat hot meals. That is the happiest thing for the army.

Marine rations are much more troublesome.

In addition to garrisoning rations, the Imperial Army ate the most rations for marching, because the Imperial Army has a rotation garrison system, and the army is relatively mobile, and often runs back and forth to change garrison areas.

Although it is not a war, it is also required to deal with it with a war attitude.

The most important thing on the marching road is the speed of the marching road. The troops will be required to arrive at the combat battlefield as quickly as possible to fight, so the main feature of military rations on the marching road is the fastest and fast.

Generally speaking, marching rations are pre-baked pancakes, pickles, sauce meat, and water carried by the army.

Once the pancake is finished, it can be kept for ten days and half a month without rotting even in the hottest summer. It was improved by Guo Peng with reference to Guo Kui.

As for the side dishes, Guo Peng was poor at the earliest times, so he used salted vegetables as the side dishes.

As long as there is salt and food, it doesn’t matter whether there is protein or not.

At that time, the army had low requirements. If you could eat enough food and eat salt, you would not be too heavy and weak all over your body. You would be very content.

Later, Guo Peng became rich and gradually reduced the size of his army, and he had enough confidence to give the army better food.

In addition to the gradual popularity of poultry breeding in China at that time, Guo Peng began to choose to use cured meat that is also easy to store and not easy to rot and add marching rations as side dishes.

For example, ham.

Marinate the pork, make ham meat, distribute it to the soldiers when cooked, or pickle some other meat, and equip the soldiers when cooked.

When soldiers were on the road, they could eat pancakes, marinated meat and pickled vegetables to fill their stomachs, with enough salt and meat. They could eat staple foods, be nutritious, and be able to run, which was considered a decent one.

However, compared with garrison rations, in order to speed up the road, marching rations are generally not hot food, dry and cold, so the taste is far less than hot food. Soldiers generally do not like marching rations.

The Huotou Army felt that it was too tiring to make too much marching ration in one go, and it was also tiring, and he didn't like it either.

However, Guo Peng forced the marching road to reduce the frequency of burying pots and making rice, and speed up the speed of rushing. Therefore, it would be good for soldiers on the marching road to eat fresh hot food for three days.

Occasionally, when passing by the city, the city will provide the army with some fresh fruits and vegetables. Soldiers often feel that the fresh fruits and vegetables are much better than marching rations.

As for combat rations, they will only eat when the army arrives at the scheduled combat site and is about to face close contact with the enemy army.

It was widely present in the war years, but now it uses the least types of rations.

Because the war in the vast areas of the Wei Empire had stopped.

Now there are only four states, including Yunzhou, Jiaozhou, Pingzhou and Mozhou, and combat rations are often used.

At that time, the food I ate was mainly protein and fat, and meat.

Let the army eat hard food and meat until they are full, and their stomachs are full of oil and water. In this way, soldiers are full of strength and fighting with energy, and can hold on to the fierce battle for a longer period of time.

Sometimes the two sides are evenly matched, and the battle is not about who is stronger and more elite, but who has more physical strength and can persist. Often, the stronger side can win.

They can use up the weaker side to break up, then turn to pursuit, turn off the offensive, and win a complete victory.

When Guo Peng led the army in the early days, his army was often not strong, and he did not have overwhelming combat power and equipment advantages when facing the enemy.

However, because the army eats well, has enough physical strength, and is full of energy, it can persevere until the end and exhausts the opponent's army's physical strength, so it wins.

Later, when fighting, Guo Peng paid special attention to supplementing soldiers with enough protein and oil before the war so that they could be stronger, longer lasting and more firm on the battlefield.

The enemy did not have this condition. Faced with the fierce, persistent and strong Wei army, they would of course be defeated and stormless.

Therefore, the combat rations stipulated by Guo Peng are mainly dried rice and stewed meat foods, supplemented by rich broth.

We must definitely let the soldiers eat and drink and nourish their energy, and be full of energy. We must never allow the situation of fighting on hungry days.

Often at this time, the soldiers could eat all over the mouth and were very satisfied.

Therefore, combat rations are the most popular among soldiers.

A large mouthful of rice, large chunks of stewed pork, full of fat and gravy when you take a bite. Then a mouthful of rice is full of meat and oil. The taste is simply.

During the decisive battle, the battlefield width is limited, and the army can take turns to fight and eat in turn.

Sometimes a battle can go from morning to dusk, and at that time it will fight for who will last longer.

How to last longer?

Of course, you eat better and get higher energy.

Guo Peng has made many reform and improvement measures in military food and invested a lot of money.

He paid great attention to letting soldiers eat well. From the early simple grain and pickled vegetables to the later full bloom, Guo Peng took a variety of measures to ensure the military's food.

For example, ducks obtained from raising ducks and treating locusts, cattle, sheep and horses obtained from grazing in the north, pigs widely raised in the Central Plains, fresh aquatic products caught by fishermen's fleets in rivers, lakes and seas, etc.

These things will be purchased from farmers, herdsmen and fishermen with military expenditures.

Give them benefits so that they can also make some money from this process, so as to reach a benign interaction with the army and establish a long-term partnership.

Generally speaking, this is the rations for the military.

Then there are some additional situations.

For example, if an emergency occurs, the cavalry needs to raid for a long distance, or the cavalry needs to go out to perform sweeping missions and cannot return to the garrison for a long time.
