Chapter 240 Army rations!Army rations! In the north of Chang'an City, there is Zuo Xiaowei's camp.
It was almost winter at this time, and it was supposed to be an extremely cool season, but in the mountain forest not far behind Zuo Xiaowei's camp, it was a very hot scene.
Ji Song was standing on a high hill at this time, looking at the soldiers below who were sweating from training.
He has no sympathy. If you want to survive on the ancient battlefield of the cold weapon era, you have to work harder than others. There is no shortcut.
Turning back, he looked at Zheng Li, who had been waiting here for a long time, and said, "How are things going? Are there any difficulties?"
Zheng Li, who had been waiting for a long time, did not show any sign of impatience. He knew his own Marquis very well.
Everyone in the family knows not to disturb the Marquis when he is thinking. This is an iron rule given by the Madam. Anyone who dares to commit a crime will definitely receive the severest punishment.
"What you ordered has spread in Chang'an, but it suddenly disappeared a few days ago. I think someone intervened." Zheng Li said.
Ji Song was stunned for a moment, but soon relaxed. He did not dwell on this matter any more. Since he had already alerted the enemy, how long would it take for him not to run away now? No one knew whether it was a venomous snake or a giant python that was frightening. There was no need to gamble with his own life.
My little arms and legs can't withstand the revenge of some people. As long as the people who should know know, then I have achieved my goal, and the rest is not important.
This is what he was ready to do after the emperor asked him to serve as the commander-in-chief of the rear army.
Now he is still in his infancy, and the Ji family is in a state of decline, and there are no capable people in the family.
Ji Qing and the others are still young and will need more time to grow this period of time, he was the protector of them and the Ji family.
Once something happens to him, neither the Ji family nor the students will be knocked back to their original shape immediately. Therefore, he must not let anything happen before he has the ability to protect himself.
"What happened to the things I asked you to prepare before?" Ji Song asked.
Of course Zheng Li knew what his Marquis was talking about, and said: "The two thousand or so people you handed over to the villain were all arranged by the villain in the mountains not far away.
According to the production method you explained, we have been making new military rations, and now we have reserved rations for no less than 10 people for a year. This is a sample, take a look! "
As he spoke, he took out the military rations wrapped in oil paper. Ji Song took it in his hand. The military rations were in the shape of a square piece.
It was an inch thick and felt very hard when pinched with his hands. He bit a small piece with his being softened by saliva, it quickly swells up.
It tastes sweet and meaty, I just don’t know what kind of meat it is, but it tastes pretty good anyway! "Go, get a bowl of boiling water!"
Ji Song said to the soldiers behind him.
After a while, a bowl of steaming boiling water was brought. Ji Song didn't waste any time, brought the bowl and threw a piece of military ration into the bowl.
Under his gaze, the military rations quickly melted in the bowl, gradually turning into a bowl of mushy and fragrant porridge.
Ji Song took a taste directly. Zheng Li saw that he wanted to stop him, but he raised his hand and put it down.
How can he stop what the Marquis wants to do?
The sweet paste passed through his taste buds and throat. Ji Song's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, it was quite delicious, and he drank it all in one breath.
After waiting for a while, he felt a warmth coming from his abdomen, and he immediately felt full.
He touched his belly and was surprised that a small piece of military ration was as good as at least three bowls of rice. He nodded with satisfaction and handed the bowl to the soldier. "How much did you bring?" Ji Song asked.
"1000 yuan!" Zheng Li replied immediately.
Ji Song touched his chin and suddenly said to the soldiers: "Call Captain Zhang Lun!"
"promise!"
"Commander, are you looking for me?" Zhang Lun hurried over and asked.
He was completely convinced by his young governor during this it is means, ability, self-discipline, or other aspects, all the soldiers admire him!
Now after this period of high-intensity training, they have already felt the changes in explosive power, endurance, and reaction speed have all been greatly improved.
Mental perseverance has also improved a lot, allowing these slack veterans to feel like they are back on top.
Ji Song looked at the energetic Zhang Lun and nodded with satisfaction. Ji Song was still surprised by his change.
He didn't expect that after this period of training, some people would regain their high-spirited atmosphere, which surprised him! As long as there is still hope, everything else doesn't matter, and I can feel more with the participation of these veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, it makes teaching skills much more convenient and worry-free.
Zhang Lun was told not to be too polite and said: "This is the new military ration that I asked you to make. Let everyone eat this at noon today. It is also a test to see if there are any flaws and to continue to improve."
He took out a piece of unopened military rations and handed it to him, letting him take a look first.
Zhang Lun stared blankly at the small piece of "military rations" that was as hard as a piece of wood in his hand. He suddenly felt like he had a toothache. Are you going to let the army eat this? As if he saw his doubts, Ji Song asked someone to bring him another bowl of boiling water and gave him a brief piece of 'military ration' turned into a piece of sweet porridge.
He motioned for him to take a sip and give it a try. No one who had not personally tried it would believe that this small piece of military ration could actually guarantee the energy consumption of a soldier for most of the day.
Zhang Lun looked hesitant, but at Ji Song's urging, he still held his breath and finished the drink in one gulp.
After finishing the drink, he smacked it in his mouth, feeling a little unfinished, but he didn't expect it to taste quite good.
"Commander, let me drink another bowl, I didn't taste much just now." Zhang Lun said with a shy face.
Ji Song smiled and said nothing. Just when Zhang Lun was wondering, he felt a feeling of fullness slowly rising in his abdomen, which made his expression change.
Closing his eyes and feeling the feeling carefully, Zhang Lun opened his eyes, looked at Ji Song excitedly and said, "Captain, this."
"Since you feel it, let the soldiers try it first to see if there are any shortcomings. There is still some time, try to improve it." Ji Song said with a smile.
"promise!"
Zhang Lun put away his excited expression, saluted Ji Song solemnly, and took Zheng Li to receive him.
Next, he didn't stay here any longer. The training was already on track. It would be the same with or without him.
The reason why I come to see them every day is to encourage morale. This is the same as the leaders of later generations often visiting the grassroots, just to make the soldiers feel valued.
Returning to the main tent, he picked up an unopened letter, which was from Jiangdong. (End of this chapter)
