King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

New Taizhou.

at this time.

The Ming army conquered all the way and their morale was like a rainbow.

Wherever it went, the damage suffered was very slight.

Originally, the morale of the Beiyuan Army was very low. Many leading generals simply surrendered as soon as they saw the Ming Dynasty's flag covering the sky.

There are still some defenders who want to resist.

Feng Sheng didn't waste any words and directly ordered Lu Wangwei's artillery battalion to attack.

After half an hour of shelling at most, the Yuan army would send people over to beg for surrender.

The entire Northern Expedition was like taking a leisurely stroll.

Along the way, even the 50,000-yuan army of the size of Daning City surrendered neatly after only a few rounds of shelling.

He's not greedy.

From time to time, there was a dry sound coming from the dinner table
Zhu Di frowned and said to Zhu Tan beside him: "Old Shi, have you seen it? Song Guogong only picks up vegetables and doesn't eat them. He would rather eat rice than eat meat!"

I haven’t eaten vegetables for three days in a row!
Feng Sheng looked at the table of dishes in front of him and swallowed.

And the logistics are becoming more and more demanding, resulting in a shortage of vegetables and fruits.

So Lan Yu, who was originally very excited and clamoring for a fight, was stunned and almost cursed!

Then he quickly picked up the rice.

talking.

Everyone saw Feng Sheng taking the lead in cooking frantically, and they had to give Song Guogong some face.

When everyone saw Feng Sheng starting to eat, they all had grimaces on their faces.

But it's boring!

Many of the later fortifications were simply deserted.

Lan Yu has cursed people in the Chinese army's tent more than once.

Seeing how easy it was to win, that old guy Feng Sheng decided not to send any troops at all.

However, as the coach of the army, he naturally cannot appear to be picky about food.

Only dry food and meat from hunting by the soldiers were left.

Izuku Naha probably knew that.

At this time, it was indeed almost time to reach Naha’s base camp.

Keep your spirits up.

talking.

If the defenders are left behind, they will only serve as food supplies, which will only make their troops more dispersed. It is better to return to the base camp to defend.

On a normal day, it would be a delicious meal.

Feng Sheng, Guo Ying, Lan Yu and other vassal kings were having a dinner together.

I originally thought that I could accumulate some merit during the Northern Expedition.

"What kind of war is this? Can't these Mongolians be a little bloody?"

Feng Sheng picked up a piece of chicken leg in Feilong soup and put it into the bowl.

Zhu Tan also felt a little numb when he looked at the game on the table in front of him.

I can't move my chopsticks.

Have a meal! "

Let Lu Wangwei clear the way!
Along the way, one hundred thousand Yuan troops have been wiped out, but the Ming army's casualties were minimal! (This is also the case in real history. Fighting all the way and accepting surrender all the way. There are basically no fierce battles.)
The so-called Northern Expedition suddenly turned into a march to the north.

Feilong soup, stewed bear paws, tiger bone soup, braised roe deer meat, charcoal grilled wild boar meat, etc. also made me feel tired.

In the big tent.

There is a layer of meat oil floating on all the dishes, even the barbecue is also oily.

Feng Sheng smiled at everyone and said: "Everyone! Today's food is not bad! It's all game brought from outside! Don't be stunned. The army will soon reach Naha's lair. Next, they will attack Jinshan. , capture Naha alive and bring him back to see His Majesty!
Haha, victory is in sight!
Cheer up, everyone!

So I picked up some meat in twos and threes and started eating helplessly.

But now it seems that no merit has been achieved!
Always running with me!

Zhu Tan said with a smile: "Song Guogong is old, and his taste may be bland! Fourth brother, you are in your prime, it should be okay to eat meat! Come, let me pick up a piece of meat for fourth brother!"

But after eating meat for a month, I could only see some vegetables every now and then. It was really hard to eat these things.

As soon as the cannon fired, the enemy came to surrender.

Only Lu Wangwei’s contributions are accumulating rapidly
Of course, only they have the credit.

Because all the way north, the land becomes more and more barren.

Nothing but meat is meat all day long!
Might as well eat some solid food!
In this season, there are no wild vegetables to eat. These days are difficult.
If I had known to bring some mung beans, now I can order the sergeant to hand out some bean sprouts to eat.

Zhu Tan picked up a piece of badger meat with chopsticks and put it into Zhu Di's bowl.

"Come on, come on, fourth brother, eat meat!"

The badger is an animal similar to a weasel. It has short limbs but relatively thick claws. This animal has a very greasy taste when cooked.

And the piece of meat picked up by Zhu Tan happened to be the badger's paw, and the smell was even more outrageous.

The small claws looked fleshy, but in Zhu Di's eyes, it was as if he had seen a ghost.

Zhu Di waved his hands wildly.

"Who said I can eat meat? Who can bear to eat only meat for so long? Uh-oh!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but retched.

Zhu Tan saw it and couldn't help laughing.

Then, Zhu Tan suddenly remembered that Lu Wangwei had brought a lot of cans this time.

He hurriedly said to Chen Qin, the deputy commanding officer of King Lu's guard beside him: "Go and get some of our cans for me!"

When Chen Qin heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "That's right! Why did you forget those treasures!"

Before leaving, Zhu Tan specifically ordered the workshop in Yanzhou Prefecture to produce more than 200,000 cans.

Packed with vegetables, such as green beans, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, cucumbers, assorted vegetables, etc.

There are also ones filled with fruits, such as apples, pears, peaches, etc.

The method of making cans is not difficult for the current production capacity of King Lu Fan.

First of all, the main raw material needed to make cans is tinplate.

It was a thin sheet of tin-coated steel.

This is not a very difficult process in Lu Wangwei's ironworks.

The main function of the tin-plated coating is to prevent direct contact between iron and food, resulting in corrosion.

After that, it’s time to clean, cut and process the vegetables and fruits.

Then, pour in a certain amount of soup, such as sugar juice or stock.

It is then sealed by hand with molten tin.

Finally, these cans are boiled until they boil, and after a few hours, the cans are ready.

Basically, this kind of canned fruits and vegetables can be kept fresh for several months.

I have tasted red sandalwood before, and the flavor is not bad.

The preservative principle of cans is mainly to kill bacteria and exhaust air, thereby ensuring that the food is stored in as sterile a state as possible to extend the shelf life.

The entire process does not require the addition of any preservatives.

soon.

Chen Qin took two sergeants from King Lu's guard and entered the camp carrying dozens of cans.

Everyone in the big tent was full of curiosity when they saw these cans.

These cans have a unique metallic luster, which is because they are coated with a layer of tin. They are uniform in shape, cylindrical, with just the right height and diameter, making them easy to stack, store, and carry.

Seeing these shiny metals, Zhu Di was full of curiosity.

"Old Shi, what are these you got?"

Zhu Tan laughed and said, "Canned!"

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Is this a new type of firearm? It looks so small. Could it be something that can explode if thrown out?"

Zhu Tan was stunned when he heard this.

Zhu Di is worthy of being the figure who later formed the Shenji Camp. He really likes firearms, and he described the principles of grenades with just one mouth!
He shook his head and said: "This can is edible."

Zhu Di frowned.

"Do you still want to take iron?"

Zhu Tan ordered someone to open a can.

It contains assorted vegetables.

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Fourth brother, please look! This is what to eat."

Zhu Di's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw the dense green in the can.

"There is food! Great stuff! Why didn't you bring it out earlier?"

As he spoke, Zhu Di stretched out his chopsticks.

Zhu Tan gave a bitter smile and said: "I have been busy marching and fighting these days, and I have long forgotten to bring this thing!"

Zhu Di picked up the green vegetables in the can and took a bite.

The taste is a bit salty, and the original taste of green vegetables has almost disappeared.

This is because vegetables need to be steamed during processing, and they also need to be steamed and sterilized after the cans are sealed.

So the taste of this vegetable can be said to be very bad.

But at least this thing is still a dish!

The long-lost taste still makes Zhu Di very happy!

"It's delicious! This thing is so delicious!"

As he spoke, Zhu Di said to King Lu Wei beside him: "You continue to open all the other cans!"

The two Lu Wang guards glanced at Zhu Tan hesitantly.
Zhu Tan smiled and said: "Didn't you hear what His Highness King Yan said? Why don't you open it soon!"

At this time, the movement between Zhu Tan and Zhu Di also attracted the attention of other people in the big tent.

Everyone looked at Zhu Tan.

Bang bang bang bang bang-!
The two Lu Wangwei opened dozens of cans in a row.

The rich ingredients presented in the can immediately shocked everyone!

These cans are filled with all kinds of fruits and vegetables, dazzling people who are used to seeing all kinds of meat!

There are cans filled with green green beans. The beans are plump, as if they have just been peeled from the pods, with a fresh smell.

Another jar contains bamboo shoots, which are cut into palatable thin slices. Although they have been processed, they still maintain a crisp and tender texture.

There are also canned mushrooms, the mushroom slices inside are plump and tender, exuding a unique aroma.

The cucumber in the canned cucumber is cut into small segments, which is crisp and refreshing, with a hint of sweetness.

There are even more types of canned fruits.

There are red apples, which are carefully cut into bite-sized pieces, sour and sweet.

The pear slices in the canned pear are as white as snow and have a delicate and juicy taste.

Canned peaches are filled with pink and juicy peach flesh, which is sweet and delicious.

Every canned food is regarded as an exquisite side dish in everyone's eyes. Although their taste is different from fresh fruits and vegetables, they are undoubtedly the most precious delicacies on this desolate battlefield!
Looking at the dazzling array of canned fruits and vegetables placed in front of Zhu Tan.

Even Song Guogong Feng Sheng couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.

"Your Highness Prince Lu, what are you displaying here?"

Hearing this, Zhu Tan looked at Feng Sheng and said, "This is called canned food."

Feng Sheng laughed dryly and said, "What's in the can?"

Zhu Tan laughed and said, "They're just worthless fruits and vegetables!"

Feng Sheng asked: "Where do these things come from?"

Zhu Tan said: "It was brought by King Lu Wei from Yanzhou Mansion!"

Feng Sheng frowned and said: "It took more than a month for Lu Wangwei to set out from Yanzhou to Peiping, and it also took two months for the army to reach Liaodong. It has been three months, and the food in the can can still be eaten. ?"

Zhu Tan smiled and said: "You should still be able to eat it! Fruits and vegetables put in cans will not spoil within half a year!"

Feng Sheng was shocked when he heard this.

"How can it be preserved for such a long time? It's amazing! It's simply made for fighting!"

Zhu Tan smiled.

This can was originally invented for war.

In original history, it was in the 19th century that Napoleon ordered craftsmen to invent a method of sealing and preserving food. The earliest container used to preserve food was glass, and later the British improved tinplate cans.

And what Zhu Tan is carrying now is tinplate cans.

Feng Sheng swallowed.

People around also looked at these cans with excitement on their faces.

Feng Sheng asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

"Is this canned food delicious?"

While Zhu Tan was devouring green vegetables and canned peaches, he shook his head and said, "It's not delicious, it's bitter!"

Next to him, Zhu Di also opened his cheeks and ate canned food crazily.

While stuffing his mouth full, he visibly hesitated after hearing Zhu Tan's words.

Then he said vaguely: "Yes! It doesn't taste good, it's bitter!"

Feng Sheng:
It's a pity that I am not the emperor, otherwise I would have to sentence you two bastards to deceive the emperor!

With your eating habits, I'm afraid I'll eat you to death, but you actually say this food doesn't taste good!

If you don’t want to eat it for us, just say so. Now we have no excuse even if we want to taste it!

suddenly.

Zhou Wang Zhu's eyes lit up and he stuck his chopsticks into the can.

"Doesn't it taste good? Come on, brother, let me taste how bad it is?"

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of green vegetables with chopsticks and started eating like crazy.

"Well, it tastes really bad. I'll try something else!"

Zhu Tan couldn't help but shook his head when he looked at Zhu Rui's appearance.

When it comes to being shameless, it has to be you.

But he didn't stop it.

I found so many cans just to treat everyone.

When everyone heard what King Zhou said, they reacted instantly and said one after another:

"Is it so unpalatable? I don't believe it!"

"If King Qi doesn't believe it, then I don't believe it either!"

"Marquis Yongchang doesn't believe it, so why should I believe it?"

For a time, everyone was talking about wanting to try it, while they tasted all the cans.

Only the King of Qin, Zhu Xi, looked indifferent, while everyone else was frantically eating the canned red sandalwood.

"Another miraculous trick! Huh! It's just some fruits and vegetables, they are food for the poor, so it's not so exaggerated!"

Zhu Xi frowned and hummed: "These wild animals were caught by the soldiers with great difficulty, and the cooks who cook them are the royal chefs rewarded by the emperor! You people really don't understand good food."

As he spoke, Zhu Xi picked up a bear paw and put it into his mouth.

Afterwards, an oily texture and salty taste filled the mouth!
Zhu Xi, who had been eating meat for several months, finally couldn't hold it back.

Ouch——!
Even the contents of the stomach were vomited out before the meat entered the mouth!

The march on the tongue ends quickly.

at last.

The Ming army arrived at Nahachu's lair.

Jinshan!

At this time, the flags of the Ming army were fluttering and their military appearance was in good order.

Naha stood on top of the city and suddenly frowned when he saw such a powerful military appearance.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty.
If the 200,000 troops you promised are not available, I will have no choice but to surrender!
