The fire was so shocking that the sky was shook the earth. The thick smoke in the sky covered the sun. The blazing flames were clearly visible thirty miles away. The burning ash floated over the lake, and even if there were black ash falling for more than ten miles around, it was like a black snow falling from the sky. It was not until two days later that it rained and the fire that had been burning for a day and two nights gradually faded.

Although the Song army camp was also affected, it did not cause any losses because it was prepared for a long time, but the camp was exposed and it was not easy to stay again. The fire was too big at that time and the personnel could not enter. Zhao Bing ordered a few warships and cavalry to be kept on the periphery to monitor the escaped enemies, and the entire army moved to the backup camp and settling again. He stayed on the imperial boat for the time being.

"Your Majesty is really good at craftsmanship. He has caught so many fish in just half a day!" Luo Datong, accompanied by the guards, got on the back deck of the imperial boat. He saw the little emperor fishing. He was barefoot, his legs rolled up with his trouser legs hanging out of the board, he wore a big hat on his head and a small jacket on his body. If he didn't know the truth, who would know that this boy dressed in a farmer would be the emperor who held the power of life and killing billions of people. And there were more than ten big fish in the several large wooden basins next to him, and the small ones were not less than seven or eight kilograms. It was obvious that he had a lot of harvest. He hurried forward and smiled and said.

"It's because of my good skills, but I'm really stupid in the lake. I'll eat it when I see the bait!" Zhao Bing turned his face and looked at him calmly, "The battlefield has been cleaned up, you are here to report my victory!"

"Report to Your Majesty, today the subordinates sent troops into the reed marsh. There were countless enemy corpses inside, but they were burned out of recognition. There were roughly more than 2,000 pieces. Most of the enemies invaded the camp were annihilated, with more than 800 heads and more than 50 enemies captured. The navy searched the lake after dawn yesterday, and captured more than 20 lost enemy ships and more than 400 enemies!" Luo Datong reported with joy. This battle not only saved food and supplies, but also killed more than 3,000 enemies. This record is not small.

"Well, the results are quite bare." Zhao Bing nodded, handed the fishing rod to the small yellow gate beside him and stood up, then looked at the saying that he had obtained today, "Pick a few big ones and clean them up, and I cook them with my own hands to celebrate the merits of Luo Dutong and the generals!"

"Yes, my subordinates have not tried His Majesty's skills for a long time!" Luo Datong said excitedly. It was not long, except for the officials on duty, Luo Datong summoned all the officials above the commanders in the brigade to board the imperial boat, handed over the swords, guns and other prohibited items to the guards for temporary storage, and then climbed onto the top deck of the imperial boat under the guidance of the Xiaohuangmen.

But seeing that two large pots were already set up on the deck, Zheng Yong had already packed a few big fish beside him. He was born in a sausage and lived on the sea for many years. He was very skilled in packing fish, scraping scales and breaking the chamber. Tan Fei was chopping firewood and making fire. The little emperor hung an apron and cut on green onions, slapped garlic, and prepared seasonings. Wang Dezheng, the general manager of the inner office, washed the basin, and even the few people in the imperial office were busy fetching water, making tea, placing a few stools, and setting a pergola.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry... I'll find work myself, otherwise I'll have food to eat and no wine to drink!" The generals were a little dazed when they saw this. In the past, these people were all noble people. They could only look up to them, but at this time they were all doing chores, which really made them unable to believe. Luo Datong was from the old camp and worked as a guard by the little emperor. The situation in front of him was familiar and friendly. He quickly rolled up his sleeves and greeted everyone to work.

"This..." Everyone was really confused when they heard this. Although they had also worked hard from the grassroots level and had helped the kitchen, they never went into the kitchen at home, let alone those from the slang clan, who had agreed but had no idea how to start.

"Haha, you guys seem to have never been to the kitchen. Go there to have a tea, otherwise you will be helping you!" Zhao Bing turned his face and looked at everyone's embarrassing appearance, waved his hand and smiled.

"Your Majesty has something to do, so why should we do it..."

"Go, you will destroy all the enemy troops, you are the heroes, just wait for food and drink!" Zhao Bing looked at their restrained appearance and said to Luo Datong.

"Then I will be disrespectful!" Luo Datong glared at the group of at a loss of knowledge, feeling a little disappointed, and threw away the opportunity to get close to His Majesty. But he could only lead a group of subordinates to help the imperial front office who was also not good at cooking. These tasks were good at building a shed for them who came from the army.

"Master Chen, I'll do it!" There were not many miscellaneous tasks at all, and more than a dozen people finished it in a row. They gathered under the awning and sat on the ground waiting for the meal. When Luo Datong saw Chen Shi, he took the cooked tea and hurriedly stood up and said.

"You don't have to be polite. I can only do something about cooking tea and serving water. It's no better than you who can go to battle to kill the enemy. As long as you don't mind it!" Chen Shishi stopped him and signaled him to sit down and chuckled.

"I thanked Chief Chen. We are all rough people. How can we know how to taste tea? Instead, we ruined the chief's intention!" Luo Datong said with a smile. He knew that the people in the imperial office were all his confidant aides and all had noble families. Chen Shishi's father was the Minister of Revenue and his uncle was the Minister of War. He had a bright future and did not dare to be arrogant.

"Tering thirst is good tea, right? Datong?" Jiang Zongjie spread the tea bowls one by one, sat next to Luo Datong, picked up the cup of tea without hesitation, blew it, and smacked his mouth.

"Haha, it's still the head of Jiang Zongjie who understood what we want!" Luo Datong smiled and said softly. Most of the people in the imperial office were newly selected after seizing Jiangnan. He was training troops in Shaoxing, not as familiar as Lin Zhiwu, Cai Qiao and others, so he was naturally a little restrained. However, Jiang Zongjie worked in the personal guard camp when he was in the commander's mansion. He was familiar with these half-aged children at that time and often played together. However, he was transferred to the Ministry of War to serve as a deputy chief officer. He was transferred to the imperial office before, and everyone went to various places to gradually become distant. However, the relationship between sharing hardships and hardships was still there, so he naturally became much warmer and he spoke casually.

"Of course, we are all ruined by His Majesty. I don't know what Feng Ya is." Jiang Zongjie looked at the little emperor who was chopping fish with his own hands, and then squeezed his eyes at Luo Datong and said softly.

"That's true, I like it. I still remember that in the sea outside Yashan, His Majesty led a group of us to drive a boat and hunt whales. After coming back, he cut and distributed them on the beach, and set up a pot to cook on the spot. The camp was full of meat smell. It was so happy!" Luo Datong recalled while drinking tea.

"Yes, Your Majesty was always cooking at that time, eating with everyone, eating large pieces of meat and drinking with big bowls. For this reason, he was often taught a lesson by his master, but he didn't change any of it. This made me like this when I eat now, and I was often scolded by my brother!" Jiang Zongjie also recalled the past.

"Your Majesty is now busy with state affairs and has a lot of things to do every day. We are also in military service and cannot get out of it. There is no good days of the past!" At this time, Your Majesty had already started to catch fire and put the fish in the pot. Jiang Zongjie sighed as His Majesty's neat movements.

"Yes, I heard that Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with this battle and said he could not deal with you!" Jiang Zongjie suddenly leaned into his ear and said mysteriously.

"Oh, don't talk about Your Majesty, even I think that although this battle has won, it will be awkward and procrastinating everywhere, as if everything is not going well, and there is no such feeling of pleasure. I was just about to ask Your Majesty for advice. Even if I am scolded this time, it is better than being ignored!" Luo Datong was stunned for a moment, but said relieved.

"It's good that you can figure it out. Even if Your Majesty scolds you for being a talented person, you are polite to him. I heard that he was going to be transferred from the Imperial Front Office and went to the Ministry of War to be a free doctor." Jiang Zongjie patted his shoulder and said with great relief.

"Oh?!" Luo Datong was very surprised, but thinking about it was in line with His Majesty's temper...

Zhao Bing was busy for a while and then took care of the two large pots of fish. In his opinion, cooking fresh fish does not require much cumbersomeness, nor does it require many seasonings. He only used common spices such as onions, ginger, garlic, pepper, star anise, and Shaojiu, and then cooked them on a slow fire. At this time, he was often salty and looked at the fire in the stove, and sat down for a while, watching the jumping flames in the stove gradually excitement, reflecting on whether the problem arose in the battle was appropriate for the generals to plan the unfavorable situation, and whether the root of the problem lies in himself.

When Zhao Bing was bored in his previous life, he often read and traveled through time. After he came to ancient times, he used modern knowledge to spread the storm in the court, developed technology to build modern weapons, reformed the army, and killed all directions. However, when he truly put himself in his shoes, he realized that it was simply an unrealistic fantasy.

Because the cost and benefits of war itself are often ignored during time travel. In addition, the development of the army is actually closely related to the social conditions, culture, technology development of the country and region, and even the combat environment faced by the army. Therefore, no military reform in history has been passed by ordinary without wind or waves.

Even the powerful monarchs of reformers have to face strong backlash from vested interests in the military system. Even after the reform is successful, they often face the loss of national strength brought about by fiscal transition and even the backlash of old forces. It can be said that any military reforms cannot actually avoid the corresponding reform of the entire social system to a greater extent.
