Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 476 Luzhou 【Subscription】

The army travels in a mighty way, with thousands of years of carriage and fodder, without any cover.

The green-faced beast received the Yidu military order, immediately inspected the grain and grass, gathered soldiers and horses, and led the army straight to Hezhou.There are [-] regular soldiers, [-] new garrison troops, and more than [-] civilians.

More than 2 people, from Yangzhou to Hezhou, even if they cover up, they can't stop the secret operations of the Western Army.

Yang Zhi also had no intention of covering up extravagance, this collision, both sides relied on real strength.If the Liangshan Army is vulnerable, the Western Army will naturally be able to relax; but if the Western Army is hit by itself, there will be no soldiers in Hezhou City, and the four doors are wide open, and the Western Army will not dare to step forward. Half a step across Leichi.

"Report to the governor, there are southern troops watching on the river." Kuai Ma suddenly came to report.

Yang Zhi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, this Manichaeism really lost points.Still as usual, turn a blind eye.In fact, the Manichaeism is also perverted, it only visits from a distance, and does not ask people to come to urge it.One is that Yang Zhi has nothing to do with it, and the other is that there is nothing to say.

Thinking that the Liangshan army was marching slowly, the Liangshan army wanted to go fast, but thousands of vehicles accompanied the army, could they be fast?Along the Yangtze River, the Liangshan Army can be established without a water army.The matter agreed upon during the negotiations was brought up by the Manichaeans themselves. Who can be blamed?

In this case, Liangshan's army marched along the river at an unhurried pace.The center of the next war was Luzhou. After the battle was completed there, the Western Army retreated undefeated.

The words were divided into two parts. Just when Yang Zhi led his army towards Hezhou, Zhenzhang was also seen in the confrontation between the two armies under Luzhou City.

Chao Gai was inspecting the city defenses that day, when he broke through Luzhou City, it was severely damaged, even if it has been repaired, now that the Western Army is rushing, it will be a severe test.

The war horses went straight to the top of the city, but in order to make it easier to deploy troops to plug leaks in critical moments, the Liangshan Army deliberately built slopes around Luzhou City.As soon as King Tota jumped off his horse, Zhang Jun, who was on duty here, stepped forward and said, "Request, I see that the Western Army outside the city is about to make a move!"

"Oh?" Chao Gai stared at him with wide eyes, and walked towards the city wall.

Zhang Jun is now Chao Gai's deputy military envoy of Luzhou, followed behind and said: "The cannon carriages outside the city are well built, and all kinds of utensils are also well-built, so you can tell by looking at the recruitment."

Chao Gai leaned against the wall and looked into the distance. As soon as he took a look, he couldn't help being startled. "I patrolled the city at dusk yesterday. I saw that the Song Army's military equipment was far less complete than today. It's not yet noon. With such a little effort, there will be a forest of guns outside the city?"

When defending Jeju, the Western Army also used dozens of artillery pieces, but compared with the current posture, it is completely insignificant!

Chao Gai didn't need a binoculars to look outside, as far as his eyes could see, among the sea of ​​people, there were countless cannons and chariots.

However, no matter how many stone cannons there are, Chao Gai is still not afraid. He also has stone cannons in his hand, which are arranged in the open space of the city.Luzhou City just experienced a war disaster, and most of the people in the city fled. Because of the war, many houses were demolished and burned.Now they have been cleared by the Liangshan army, either as a garrison camp, or as a school yard warehouse, and some of the land near the city has become a stone artillery position.

Liangshan artillery has a long range, but occupies a small area. Mechanical force saves manpower and space, and it can still effectively contain the stone artillery of the Song army when placed in the city.

But what shocked Chao Gai was that among the many equipment of the Song army, in addition to artillery carts, there were also many shield carts, caves, goose carts, ladders, etc.

"Request, this is probably the ordnance stored in Jiangling City, and it is now being transported to the battlefield."

Chao Gai agreed with Zhang Jun's words.Jiangling Mansion, Ezhou, and Xiangyang City all stockpiled a lot of military weapons, and now they are all in use.

Chao Gai had a serious expression on his face, "It seems that Liu Yanqing is fully prepared. If you fight, you will be afraid that he will fail?" Immediately, a series of orders came out, such as evacuating the people near the city wall, organizing the young and strong in the city, and arranging Soldiers and horses patrol the streets.There is also a position for calling artillery vehicles. As long as the artillery group of the Song Army comes within the distance, they will fire fiercely.

After finishing speaking, he went to inspect along the top of the city.Along the way, I was very satisfied to see that the officers and soldiers on the enemy towers, horse faces, enemy towers, and archery towers all performed their duties, and no one was slack.

After the Huainan army was mixed with some people, Xiao Jiasui rectified it several times, and finally it looked like a strong army.Well-trained and disciplined, Chao Gai was relieved to see him, and felt that his hard work was not in vain.

After patrolling the city for a week, when Chao Gai returned to the south gate, it was past noon.Zhang Jun had already ordered the meat and wine to be prepared, and Chao Gai was not polite, grabbed a shiny golden pancake, rolled up a large piece of pork, dipped it in garlic juice, and began to bite.

Some people say that people in the Song Dynasty didn't eat pork because of Su Dongpo's poem: Huangzhou has good pork, but the price is as cheap as dung.The rich don't want to eat it, and the poor don't know how to cook it.Many people think that no one would eat pork in the Song Dynasty.But I didn't want to think about it, if no one really eats this pork, why would anyone raise pigs?In fact, people in the Song Dynasty should not eat too much pork.

In the city of Tokyo, outside the gate of Nanxun, only the pigs slaughtered by the people must enter the capital from then on. From day to night, there are tens of thousands of people in each group, and only a dozen people drive them away.

Of course, it was also a social reality in the Song Dynasty that those wealthy families did not eat pork.But is the reason really that China has despised pork since ancient times?That's bullshit.Or it can be said that it is the argument of the Mu blowers on the Internet in later generations.

In fact, since the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty, a large number of northern nomadic peoples went south. After more than 300 years of wars, they were unified first in the Sui Dynasty and then in the Tang Dynasty.Although the Yang family and the Li family who established the Sui and Tang Dynasties were Han Chinese, they had already been severely transformed.The Hu people naturally prefer to eat mutton, the royal family is like this, and so are the nobles and bureaucrats who can afford meat.

If there is something good on the top, it will be great on the bottom.

So in the hundreds of years before Su Shi was born, pork gradually declined.

Some scholars in later generations pointed out that in the Wei, Jin——Sui and Tang Dynasties in North China, pig breeding was still relatively common, but the number had dropped significantly compared with the Han Dynasty, and it was not on a large scale. And language. The two agricultural books "Qi Min Yao Shu" and "Si Shi Zhuan Yao" pay far more attention to raising sheep than to raising pigs.

But now and then.

In contrast to Zhao Song who likes to eat lamb, Lu Qian encourages the people to raise pigs wantonly.

In the farming society, dogs can guard the house and guard the yard against theft, chickens can lay eggs for salt, oil, soy sauce and vinegar, cows and horses are used for plowing and transporting land, fish and ducks need water, and sheep have a single type of food, and a single animal produces little meat. Most people provide meat, protein and fat, as long as they are omnivorous and not picky eaters, have a gentle temperament and do not run around, and have a single pig with a large amount of meat.

In the process of Liangshan Army's gradual expansion, pork has always been one of the main sources of meat supply for Liangshan Army.Even now that the marine fishing industry is gradually developed.

For today's lunch, the food of the city guards is naturally meaty.Like what Chao Gai eats, it is also pork.The difference is that the pork eaten by ordinary soldiers is marinated meat, while the pork eaten by Chao Gai is fresh meat.
