Chapter 242 I’m sure!
In the following days, Ji Song stayed at home with his mother and did not go anywhere.
The affairs in the military camp have been arranged long ago, and he does not need to worry about it at all. The transfer of supplies has also started long ago, and there is someone specifically responsible for the training of the soldiers.
New military rations are also sent to Li Shimin and the big shots in the court. This is a necessary procedure. No matter how fancy you say, military rations that have not been tested are not allowed to flow into the army.
Since ancient times, war has been a place of life and death, and the path to survival must be can never be too careful!
Tai Chi Temple.
"Is this the new military ration he sent?" Li Shimin looked at a gray-white lump with some curiosity and asked Li Jing.
According to the procedure, Ji Song first sent the general rations to the Ministry of War. After the Ministry of War reviewed and found that there were no problems, he would hand them over to the three provinces and then send them to the emperor.
It's not that Ji Song doesn't want to give it directly to the emperor, but it is inevitable that some people will criticize it, which is not a good thing for either Ji Song or the emperor.
Only after going through formal procedures and confirming that there are no problems can the name be justified.
"Yes! This is the thing in your Majesty's hand!" Li Jing said solemnly.
In fact, Li Jing was already extremely shocked. It was unbelievable that such a small thing could consume the soldiers for most of the day.
Who would have believed it unless they had tried it themselves?
He knew very well how useful this little thing would be on the battlefield in the future, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a great achievement.
As we all know, food and grass during wars have always been a commonplace issue for thousands of years, but so far there has been no major breakthrough.
The transportation of grain and grass is time-consuming and labor-intensive. For a stone of grain, more than half of it can be eaten on the way.
No matter who it is, there is no good solution in this matter.
The huge consumption also made the war the root cause of everyone's talk! Every unnecessary war with foreign countries is the focus of generals fight in the battlefield, civil servants transport supplies and stabilize the country. This has been the division of labor among everyone for thousands of years.
Why do civil servants work so hard to prevent all unnecessary wars?Maybe some of them had ulterior secrets, but most of them were frightened by the huge amount of supplies once the war started.
If there was enough food and a brave war, who would stop it? Therefore, after learning about the emergence of new military rations, Li Jing and other generals still in Chang'an could no longer hold back.
After dozens of days of observation, they found that the military rations had not deteriorated in any way, which made them unable to sit still.
This led to their trip today, which was to ask the emperor to change the military rations.
There are so many benefits to doing this, including easy operation and smaller same people can carry three to five times as much military rations as they could before.
As long as everyone in the army carries ten pounds of something like this, he won't need any supplements for at least a month. Who can resist the temptation of such a big change? Apart from the restriction of food and grass, they can do a lot, and they will not worry about the lack of food and grass.
According to Cheng Yaojin, as long as he is given new military rations and equipped with elite soldiers, he can fight to the ends of the earth.
Although this statement is suspected of being boastful, it also illustrates the importance of new military rations from the side.
With the bravery and skill of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and after solving the logistical problems, they wanted to ask: Who else? Li Shimin turned over the new military rations in his hand several times, but still didn't see Ren He's problem, so he said to Chen Shou beside him: "Go and get a bowl of boiling water!"
He already knew how to use this thing before. If he wanted to know the effect, he had to try it himself, so that he could know it well.
"Your Majesty! Really?" Chen Shou said course Li Shimin knew what he was 's just that I'm worried that there's something wrong with the thing, and I'm afraid that he'll eat the burp!
"Go quickly!" Li Shimin glared, and Chen Shou had no choice but to go out and prepare.
It's not that Li Shimin is arrogant, but that he has known about this thing for a long time. Although he has never tried it, he still knows very well what it is made of.
Because there is a very detailed recipe written on his desk, which Ji Song sent earlier.
Although it cannot be presented directly to the emperor, the contents inside must still be fully told to him.
Otherwise, the emperor didn't even know what the new military rations were made of, so how could he dare to feed them to the soldiers? This is not how to commit suicide.
Soon Chen Shou brought a bowl of steaming hot water, and Li Shimin couldn't wait any longer. Before Chen Shou was ready, he put the piece of military rations into the bowl.
After a while, you can see that the military rations that were originally as hard as rocks turned into a bowl of mushy porridge, still exuding aroma.
"Ah, it smells so good! Your Majesty, please let me try it!" Chen Shou looked like he wanted to eat it and was drooling, which made Li Shimin feel sick.
Somewhat disgusted, he said: "Go, get another bowl."
But before he could finish speaking, Chen Shou had already taken out a small bowl and poured half of it for him.
Li Jing could see clearly from below, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He was really impressed by the acting skills of the master and servant!
But he could also understand that as an emperor, he could never be too careful about his diet, let alone eating something that had never happened before.
After Chen Shou finished drinking, Li Shimin took a sip. After drinking, his eyes lit up, and he drank the bowl of paste directly and burped!
He handed the bowl to Chen Shou with some embarrassment. After waiting for a while, he clearly felt full, which surprised him. This was too fast! "How do you feel, Your Majesty?" Li Jing smiled.
Li Shimin touched his belly and said in surprise: "As you said, this is simply natural military food. It is convenient, simple, can fill the stomach, and does not take up space. I don't know how that boy Ji Song came up with the idea?"
Li Jing was overjoyed when he heard this and said anxiously: "Then your Majesty agreed?"
You know, he came here to use this thing as military rations. With it, he can guarantee that he will have an additional [-]% chance of winning on the original basis.
As long as he brings enough new military rations like this, even if he is accidentally besieged by the enemy, he will be able to persevere as long as it does not exceed a month.
Why would an army become demoralized, collapse, or even surrender without a fight after being besieged?
It's not because they know that their food and grass will not last long at all. If they can't break out, they will have to wait for death.
But if there is enough food and grass to persist, as long as it is not really desperate, it will not collapse easily.
Li Shimin looked at the surprised Li Jing, why couldn't he be the same?
With this, this trip north also adds a lot of chances of winning.
What's more, this new type of military ration has been reviewed by the court and it is confirmed that there is no problem. So what reason does he have for not agreeing? "I'm sure!" Li Shimin said loudly.
Li Jing bowed deeply and solemnly said: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
I'm typing with squinted eyes, I'm so sleepy! Thanks to the book friend whose last number is 3270 for the six monthly passes.
