The third volume of the Ming Dynasty, the twenty-seventh tie the dragon slope
. Compared with the busy work outside the camp, the center of the camp seemed very well equipped. A huge tent had been set up. A team of guards were patrolling back and forth around the camp. Everyone was carrying a spear on their backs and downs. The spear on their shoulders showed a shining blade of cold light, which seemed murderous.
A musket has no bayonet. Before it is fired, it is no different from a fire stick. Although it knows that once the gun is fired, the bullets inside are far more powerful than swords, but the eyes of a person will always deceive themselves, and it is far less than the light from the blade of a cold weapon that makes people shocked. Of course, the bayonet is not just beautiful. If two musket troops are in close combat, the party equipped with the bayonet will undoubtedly get a lot of money.
But now the musket troops are not yet equipped with bayonets. First, because the flint rifle is still in front-mounted, it is not convenient to equip bayonets, and the hardness of the barrel is high when fighting with bayonets. Otherwise, training alone will easily damage the barrel. Second, it is unnecessary. At present, the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, whether they are bandits or Tartars, do not have a built-in musket force. There is no possibility that both sides will fight to fight later. If the opponent's cold weapon troops approach the musket team, the musket equipped with bayonets will suffer a lot. Instead of being too high, it is better to find a way to eliminate them when they approach.
However, the equipment of bayonets on muskets is undoubtedly a trend for firearms to reach a certain time in the future. Wang Fu only selected 200 people in the guard camp as a test. Most of these people are good martial arts masters, and bayonets have a greater effect on them than muskets. With the current local capabilities of the Ming army, it is not difficult to create hundreds of barrels that can withstand the piercing power of bayonets.
This method of installing a bayonet with a gun barrel was indeed welcomed by the good players in the guard camp. In order to install a bayonet with a bayonet, the guard camp also held a competition. Only the top 200 winners could be selected. Now all these 200 guards are following the emperor as the emperor's personal bodyguards.
"Emperor." The guards who were inspecting suddenly stopped and stood respectfully. They saw the emperor walking out of the tent with more than ten ministers.
Wang Fu nodded to the guards, and Ma Bingjie came up and asked, "Is the emperor going out?"
"Well, I'm just walking around the military camp, you don't have to follow." Wang Fu said. Now it's more than an hour before dark, so Wang Fu naturally won't stay in the tent all the time.
Ma Bingjie did not obey the order and said seriously: "Emperor, how can this be done? No matter where the emperor is, the guards should follow."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Wang Fu's face. He was in a high position and had troubles. In his previous life, he was a poor student from the countryside. When he was a poor student from the countryside, he always thought that the troubles mentioned by those rich and powerful people were deliberately pretending to be. Now he realized that even if he was rich and powerful, he might not have no worries, but his worries were different from each other.
He was the emperor. On the surface, he was rich in the world. In fact, when he was in the capital, the palace was a big cage. After leaving the capital, he still had no freedom. As for the emperor who was watching in TV in his previous life, he would go privately to visit him in private when he had nothing to do, kill corrupt officials and save the wronged people. It was just to make up and deceive everyone's feelings. It might be possible to do it once or twice. If an emperor did this all day, the court would basically have no hope.
Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Ma Bingjie waved his hand. A team of fifty guards followed closely behind the emperor.
The military camp seemed busy and orderly. Except for the soldiers who were digging trenches and building the walls of the Guizhou camp, the rest of the people had already picked up firewood from outside and started to set up a large pot to cook. In a short while, bursts of rice, steamed buns and bacon came from the air. The aroma of salted fish was steamed out. The bacon was mainly pork and mutton. The salted fish were all sea fish.
The Yulinwei usually has extremely high food standards. Basically, when making the food, you must make meat, fish, rice, and steamed buns full. All kinds of sparse vegetables are also indispensable. In Nanjing, 100,000 Yulinwei consumed meat and fish every day. Because meat is expensive and fish are cheap. The military camp purchased ground fish, and the meat ratio was about 2 to 1. The daily food standard for each soldier was one pound of fish and five pounds of meat (10 pounds per pound). Just to supply the army with fresh ground fish. At least hundreds of ships of large and small every day were loaded with sea fish and transported to the military camp.
But when marching and fighting, such standards cannot be implemented. Rice and steamed buns remain unchanged. Fresh meat and fresh fish become bacon and salted fish. As for vegetables, they are also pickled vegetables. These bacon, salted fish and pickled vegetables are usually made into vegetables by military camps and kitchens, in addition to making fresh fish and meat into vegetables, some of them are marinated with salt and then dried as reserve military rations. Now these are the land used.
Bacon can be kept for about half a year. Salted fish can be kept for longer after drying them for several years. It will be fine for several years. It can be used as military rations and can also ensure the intake of salt in the military. It can be said that the food in Yulin Wei land cannot be done by ordinary landlords.
Before the Ming Dynasty, the army ate very poorly during marches and wars. Most of the staple foods were corn, beans and other grains, and the side dishes were always the same.
Food, such food still cannot make the soldiers full, and the army's battles are known.
In addition to the combat effectiveness of an army, food is undoubtedly a very important factor, in addition to the weapons and the level of training in daily life. An army with poor nutrition and cannot even eat enough, and cannot expect to have good training in daily life. Naturally, there is no combat effectiveness. Even if the best weapon is given, the army in later generations can only be considered a miracle.
It has been more than a month since February. In addition to temporarily stationed in the county town for a few days, the Central Army spent most of its time in marching. Only when stationed in the city can we have the opportunity to eat fresh sparse vegetables and meat. After eating bacon and salted fish for more than a month, although most of the Yulinwei smelled the salted fish and the smell of bacon still couldn't help but swallow it, Wang Fu already felt a little slight resentment.
Tian Cheng keenly felt the emperor frowning and said with a smile, "Emperor, it's still early now, so it's better to let the guards go up the mountain to collect some prey, which can also improve the food."
The ridges in the distance were undulating like a dragon trying to fly into the air, but they were left in the world by some unknown thing. In the lush forest, the sound of birds and beasts crowing from time to time. Wang Fu was moved and was about to nod and agreed. Qu Shi next to him glared at Tian Cheng: "Random, everything has spirituality. Now it is the time when the dead tree is in spring. When the mother beast is pregnant, you advise the emperor to hunt. Wouldn't you deliberately take the emperor into unrighteousness?"
Tian Cheng was so naughty that he dared not speak. Good guy, he fortunately did not suggest that the emperor go hunting in person, otherwise Qu Shi would not know what words he would say, and he might think that he deliberately put the emperor in danger.
For hunting, the ancients had their own set of standards. Although there were spring hunting and autumn hunting, they were just to avoid killing all the wild animals. During the period when the mother beast was pregnant, it was generally not hunting. This time was about two months. Even if the emperor wanted to hunt during this period, if it was recorded, it would be criticized. Now it is undoubtedly in this period of time.
However, as an emperor, it is indeed rare to kill one or two wild animals and be taken care of. Wang Fu was very uninterested. This Qu Shi would not be a Wei Zheng, right? If this is the case, wouldn’t he beg for his own fault? Wang Fu had to change the topic and looked at the mountain ridge in the distance and asked, “What’s the name of this mountain?”
Now Qu Shi, Qian Qianyi, Wu Meicun, Zuo Maodi, Yang Longyou, and others who were following the emperor all shook their heads. The mountain in front was not a famous mountain. Even if they could pick up a lot of books, they could not tell the name of an unknown mountain from other places casually.
Seeing that the two great masters could not answer, Tian Cheng was very happy, and he immediately said bravely: "Your Majesty, I will go down and ask."
Wang Fu refused to comment: "Go."
"Yes, I obey the order." Tian Cheng hurried down and came back soon, with a little unnatural on his face.
Seeing Tian Cheng like this, everyone thought Tian Cheng had not asked. Yang Longyou had a slight conflict with Tian Cheng, so he deliberately squeezed to him: "Eunuch Tian, why are you back so soon? How are you asking?"
Yang Longyou's words implicitly trapped. Although this is a small matter, Tian Cheng came back so soon and did not ask for the place name, it undoubtedly means that Tian Cheng did not attach any importance to the emperor's words. Tian Cheng glared at Yang Longyou angrily and had to say: "Your Majesty, I have asked clearly. The mountain ahead is called Fulong Mountain."
"Fulong Mountain?" Everyone looked at each other. This location was undoubtedly very unlucky.
In ancient times, there were many taboos in marching and fighting. Although for literati, "I don't say anything about strange powers and gods." However, when it was the turn of literati to lead the army, most people would rather trust their existence than their non-existence, and place names are undoubtedly the most taboos.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Pang Tong was nicknamed Chufeng, but died in Luofengpo. Yu Jin had a name called Yu, Tongyu. When Guan Yu heard Yu Jin stationed in Kouchuan, he immediately laughed happily and asked him why. Guan Yu said, "How can fish enter the mouth for a long time?"
A fish net that uses wooden sticks or bamboo poles as a bracket. Yu Jin was stationed in Kouchuan, just like a fish entering the fish net. In the end, it was indeed flooded by Guan Yu's waters, and Yu Jin was also captured alive.
Of course, this is a confusing story, but these two stories are widely circulated and almost everyone knows it. At present, there is a Long Bull Mountain not far from the Yulin Guard camp. Although everyone does not think there will be any danger in this place, it is just that the emperor is here, which undoubtedly makes people feel disturbed. Yang Longyou secretly regrets that he asked this too much and quickly looked at the emperor's face quietly.
Wang Fu started to care about this place name at all. When he saw everyone's faces gloomy, he suddenly thought about it. He only felt funny and said, "Bailong Mountain, Bulong Mountain, what can it do if I don't go up to this mountain?"
"Your Majesty, this place is also called Fulongpo."
