Chapter 848 Ode to Elegance (2)
Today, Fei Qian left Pingyang and did not go directly to the northwest to Taoshan. Instead, he went further north and went to the Pingyang County Army Camp. The so-called military camp in Pingyang was so large that it had never existed before Fei Qian came to Bingzhou.
Soldiers can be said to be the foundation for Feiqian to merge with the state. Therefore, for the base camp of Pingyang, both site selection and construction are more careful. In addition, Feiqian now has a very large number of cavalry, so in the north of Pingyang The military camp on this piece of land occupies an extremely large area, encircling several valleys and occupying an entire small branch that flows into the Fen River. It is almost connected to the camp in the workshop.
In any case, in this era, land has not yet been speculated to sky-high prices, and Fei Qian is the leader here, so no matter how much territory he occupies, no one dares to have any objections.
The mixture of **** and lime provided by Fei Qian''s workshop has been widely used as a substitute for cement in later generations. Due to production constraints, the supply cannot yet be opened. However, in the barracks in Pingyang The camp and the Gongfang camp have been greatly strengthened.
At this moment, there is a lively scene in the Pingyang barracks.
Most of the infantry camps are concentrated on the hillside near the west, while the cavalry camps are on the relatively flat periphery, located downstream of the water source. Because the horses are very delicate, in order to ensure the health of the horses, they need to be washed from time to time, which is located downstream. It is also less likely to cause some bacterial infections between humans and animals.
Of course, on the one hand, for the sake of sanitation of water collection, and on the other hand, to ensure that the camp was surrounded or the upstream water source was cut off, etc., several deep wells were dug in the infantry camp as a place for soldiers to collect water on a daily basis. .
On the ground, the loess has basically been trampled very solidly, and different areas have been marked out with white ash. A tent made of cow, sheepskin and grass cloth is stretched out inside the white ash frame. In addition to serving as a sign, In addition, it can also prevent some small reptiles from entering the area where tent personnel live.
Outside the tent were densely covered with flags of various colors, including the commanding flag of the Chinese Army and the flags of the Five Directions and Five Positions, as well as various flags for conveying orders. They were arranged according to military regulations, and they were fluttering in the cold wind. , quite a bit of a killing scene.
Originally, Fei Qian brought more than 500 soldiers to Bingzhou. Now, after several battles, except for those who unfortunately died on the battlefield, most of them have been promoted to junior sergeants, and some have even been promoted to military princes. The position of captain at the mid-to-high-level officer level is just one step away.
Nowadays, these earliest soldiers have become the most reliable group under Fei Qian. In other words, they are already Fei Qian''s community of interests. Seeing that Fei Qian''s territory is gradually expanding, the personnel under his jurisdiction are also gradually expanding. In addition, as long as these soldiers have a little bit of brains, they will understand that the current situation is developing upwards, and they will naturally be full of fighting spirit. Even ordinary recruits will work extra hard in training.
??It is the greatest blessing to meet a commander like Fei Qian in this world. Not to mention the full amount of food and salary, the equipment alone is already comparable to the Imperial Guards. New recruits will first be equipped with leather armor, swords and spears made of ordinary materials, which are all matched in place. If they perform well in training and are selected into the crossbowmen, sword and shield soldiers, etc., they will be replaced with the corresponding soldiers. Weapons, especially the high-quality iron armor, almost give you an extra life after wearing it, which makes these new soldiers covetous.
More importantly, if you follow Fei Qian, you can win the battle!
This is more important than anything else.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Of course, there will be casualties in winning the battle, but at least the honors and pensions after death are not large. Moreover, Fei Qian also built a special wounded soldier camp and hired doctors to treat and recuperate these wounded soldiers, which has greatly reduced the number of casualties after the war. Probability of attrition.
At this time, in the barracks, the first drill of getting up every morning had just ended. It was the time for breakfast. A long stove was set up in the open space at the back camp. It was now the hot weather. Tengteng is about to start the pot.
As Fei Qian spread the method of fermented dough, the logistics cooks in the army who were responsible for preparing meals naturally learned this uncomplicated technique. Unlike the previous dough, the fermented dough was not only soft and delicious , and because of the bubbles, the volume will be larger, and it is easier to feel full. The most important thing is that it is easier to digest and easier for the body to absorb. Therefore, those who make pasta in the military now basically no longer use raw noodles. It is replaced with fermented dough. Although the dough is darker and yellower on the south side, coupled with the pots of soup containing wild vegetables and mutton bones, it is enough for these soldiers to smell the fragrance and keep swallowing their saliva, all holding wooden bowls and wooden sticks. Chopsticks, line up, and wait to receive your food. At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the camp. Orders came from far to near, and then they suddenly converged into a loud voice: "The guard of the Hungarian army has arrived!"
It turned out that Fei Qian did not go to the Chinese army''s tent, but went in a circle and came to the back camp with Ma Yue and Xu Huang. When he saw many soldiers ready to salute, he laughed and said to the soldiers: " The world is big and eating is the most important thing, so don’t be too polite!”
The soldiers also laughed when they heard this.
Fei Qian walked around casually, called a few names in the queue, and then laughed and chatted a few words. Then he came to the stove, stretched his head to look at the mutton bone soup in the cauldron, and said, "It just so happens that so-and-so didn''t eat either. It’s breakfast. Do you have extra bowls and chopsticks? Can you make a bowl for someone?”
The cook behind the cauldron was standing cautiously. Hearing Fei Qian''s words, he hurriedly turned around and fetched a pair of bowls and chopsticks, then tremblingly gave Fei Qian a bowl.
Lamb bones have been stewed for a long time, and a few small pieces of mutton are floating in the bowl. They are stewed casually with some cabbage and some green leafy seedlings from the field. If it is a little oily, it is definitely not a delicate food.
Fei Qian took the soup, then grabbed a black-gray steamed bun from a bamboo basket on the side. Surrounded by his guards, he found a stone on one side to sit down on, and ate it with big mouthfuls.
Ma Yue and Xu Huang, who were behind Fei Qian, glanced at each other, and then also poured out bowls of soup behind Fei Qian. They found a dry place beside Fei Qian, sat down cross-legged, and sat down with Fei Qian. Eat together.
??There were countless soldiers around who were waiting to receive their meals, especially those newly recruited soldiers. At this moment, they were all watching Fei Qian and others eating deliciously, and they couldn''t help but feel a little dazed...
Fei Qian ate very quickly, eating the black-noodle steamed bun in three or two mouthfuls with the hot soup. Then he picked up the wild vegetables and leaves in the bowl, then stood up, faced the soldiers'' eyes, and said with a smile: "Everyone, can you feel full after seeing this? Eat quickly, and practice diligently after eating. Remember that you sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war!"
“I sincerely follow the teachings of Zhonglang!” Several more clever military princes took the lead in shouting in unison, and then other soldiers followed suit.
Fei Qian nodded, and then went to the Chinese army''s tent with Ma Yue and Xu Huang, leaving behind these soldiers who couldn''t help but start whispering...
This is a man with two thousand stones. To say that he has a noble status, there is no difference between him and a mud-legged person like him. Naturally, he should be a bell-ringing meal and never tire of food. How could he have thought that he would be in the same kitchen as himself? Looking for food?
?Although there are some people who are more knowledgeable and know that Fei Qian is doing this trick, but among the princes from all over the world, how many of them can actually do it?
“We can join forces if we share the same clothes and robes…”
