Chapter 119 Military merit is everything!
The beachhead barracks in the middle reaches of the Nalin River.

It was already noon.

In the large tent of the Chinese army that had just been set up, Ah Hu carried a tray and sent steaming food to Peng Ke's case.

"My lord, please have a meal."

Peng Ke, who was sitting in front of the case, looked up at the meal brought by Ahu.

The food is not bad.

A palm-length black fish caught in a river, a bowl of bone soup that looked like it was boiled with pork bones, and a few pieces of deboned meat were put in the soup.

There is also a plate of very green and shiny green vegetables fried.

Plus a plate of sauce made from soybeans that the Chinese army has generally used as military rations since the pre-Qin period.

Two dishes, one soup and one soy bean side dish.

This is the standard of food for the general Peng Ke during the war.

It can't be considered a luxury, but at least it is rich.

Picking up a bowl of white rice from Jiangnan, Peng Ke began to eat the meal in front of him with a snarl.

While eating, Peng Ke asked anxiously, "Have all the soldiers eaten hot food?"

"Eat it."

Ah Hu nodded and said with a smile: "The logistics officer slaughtered five or six pigs and stewed many pots of broth. Everyone has a share."

"The cooks are all making up their minds. In the afternoon, they organize the auxiliary soldiers to use fishing nets to catch fish in the river. There are so many fish in the river in Jianzhou in autumn, and you can catch a thousand catties casually."

"We can eat fish on the spot, and there is no shortage of meat."

Only then did Penke nodded in satisfaction.

"You go to eat too, don't guard me."

After waving Ahu to eat, Peng Ke enjoyed the hot lunch to his heart's content.

Although this dish is not very luxurious.

But in this place of Huawai, which is hundreds of miles away from the civilization circle of the Ming Dynasty, being able to eat hot meals is a great comfort to the body and mind.

After a salute, Ah Hu withdrew from the big tent.

As soon as he got out of the tent, Ah Hu looked around, and as far as he could see, all he could see were soldiers pouring out of the tent in groups.

These soldiers were neat and orderly, and each lined up to the dining place in units of thousands of households.

The establishment of a military camp is a university question.

The more powerful the general, the more standardized the barracks will be established, the clearer the system, every inch of land will be used, and there will be different rules for its use.

As the elite of the Ming Dynasty Frontier Army, the Zhenhai Battalion, Wu Xuanshu and Lu Ming are naturally professionals.

Looking down from the sky, you will find that the tents are very neatly set up in this piece of military camp arranged on the beach.

At a glance, you can tell which part is food and luggage.

Which part is the barracks for the soldiers.

Which part is the secret whistle, the bright whistle, the camp gate...

It is concise and clear, with clear horizontal and vertical lines, but it also hides murderous intentions.

And the layout is very reasonable.

After Ah Hu and the others came out of the tent, they would not just rush along the road like headless chickens.

In the barracks, each part of the barracks has a dedicated aisle.

Even if the soldiers are road idiots and don't know the way, they only need to walk along the aisle to go directly to where they want to go.

There is no need to think about identifying the way at all.

And there is another advantage of demarcating the aisle in this way.

As long as the camp is established for a longer time, after ten days or so, these roads will be solidly walked by the soldiers.

In this wild jungle where there are no people at all, it is very, very important for the army to have regular roads.

Whether it's a gathering of soldiers, a sudden savage raid, or a battle on a rainy day.

There is a solid path that greatly increases the speed at which forces can be assembled for combat.

Often in most of the sudden battles, whichever side can take the lead in gathering and dispatching troops will establish the victory.

In order to make the corridors in the barracks more solid, when building the barracks, Wu Xuanshu and Lu Ming specially let three borrowed steam tracked chariots to press the road.

Walking on the rammed and hard aisle, Ahu followed the flow of people, and soon came to the dining area on the side of the Chinese army.

The smell of rice constantly wafting out, and the smell of vegetables coming from the food stand with the gang leader, tempted his stomach to growl.

Ah Hu quickly joined the queue.

After queuing for five or six minutes, it was finally his turn.

He quickly picked up a large bowl from the bamboo basket next to it, and handed it to the cook.

The cook was not in a hurry to cook for him. Instead, he looked at Ahu's clothes up and down, smiled at him, opened another large pot next to the stall, and poured out a spoonful of crystal clear white rice from it. The rice was stuffed into the rice bowl in Ah Hu's hand.

"Is it enough?"

Seeing a big bowl of rice in front of him, Ah Hu nodded quickly.

Only then did the cook open another vegetable pot, scooped out a piece of fat fish belly from it, and put it on Ahu's rice bowl, and then scooped up a spoonful of miso marinated with soybeans and minced meat.

This is not finished.

The cook picked up another bamboo tube, scooped a large spoonful of broth, poured it into the bamboo tube, tightened the lid, and handed it to Ah Hu.

"then."

Ahu took the warm bamboo tube in a daze, feeling puzzled in his heart.

He doesn't have any official position in the army, so he should be the same as other soldiers. He can only eat bean rice mixed with soybeans, and there is no deboned meat in the broth.

But just now he clearly saw a piece of bone-in meat floating in the broth that the cook gave him!
"This"

Before Ah Hu could react, he was pushed aside from the queue by the cook and driven away.

After rubbing the back of his head, Ah Hu took the meal and walked to the side where the soldiers had lunch. No matter how much it was, he ate it directly.

In fact, he didn't expect that the mandarin duck battle jacket he was wearing had a feather pinned on it representing the general's personal soldier.

Although he has no official title, the treatment of the general's personal soldiers is on par with that of the corps leader.

The other soldiers looked at Ah Hu eating fragrant white rice and drinking broth with meat, envious in their eyes.

In the Ming army, for soldiers of different ranks, the food standards were very different and very strict.

Ordinary soldiers can only eat beans and rice, and the broth is only soup, no meat.

Even if there is an extra meal of fish, it can only be divided into corners such as fish tail and fish head.

And the corporal leader can eat white rice, and the broth can also be divided into a piece of meat, and the fish can also be divided into a piece of meaty fish body.

Going up further, the treatment of hundreds of households and thousands of households will be even better. Not only will there be more meat in the soup, but you can also eat half a fish.

Officers of different ranks enjoy completely different treatment.

Don't underestimate the difference in treatment in a little detail.

The most primitive desire of human beings is the thing that can most stimulate fighting spirit and potential!
At that time, relying on the encouragement of the different treatment of the twentieth rank, the Qin State unified the universe, the Western Han Dynasty attacked the Xiongnu from the north, and sealed the wolves to live in Xuxu!
This difference is enough to inspire the soldiers to fight the enemy bravely, and want to make military achievements to change their status and treatment!
Because if you want to get more privileges and better status treatment, you must exchange this privileged status with military merit!

And there is only one way to gain military merit, and that is to go to battle and kill the enemy!
The more kills, the greater and higher the military title you get!
It is the stimulation of this set of differences in treatment and status in the military.

The soldiers of the Ming army have the desire to fight and make meritorious deeds, approaching the Qin soldiers who made the six kingdoms fearful thousands of years ago!
