The daily life of the science master's book-wearing group

Chapter 313 Meal Label of the Firearms Battalion
The ninth day of November is the birthday of the old lady of the Zhenbei government.

Although this year is not a full birthday, it is the first big happy event for the Marquis's Mansion to be promoted to the Duke's Mansion, and the old lady's birthday banquet was held very grandly.

As the grandson of the old lady, Li Zhao naturally wanted to pay his respects to his birthday.

So Ning Yueyao, who had been left out in the backyard for half a year, finally looked forward to her big cousin.

"My concubine pays my respects to the prince." Ning Yueyao is now more honest and well-behaved, even her cousin dare not call out, she is too afraid to be left in the cold by Li Zhao for another half a year.

Li Zhao looked her up and down, saw that she was wearing a dress made of royal blue brocade, and nodded in appreciation: "Today's dress is not bad."

Ning Yueyao didn't dare to be complacent, so she just lowered her head and said: "Grandmother's birthday banquet, no matter what I do, I have to dress up properly." Suddenly she raised her head to look behind Li Zhao, and said, "Isn't the princess going?"

"She's not feeling well, so she won't go."

Li Zhao said something lightly, turned around and walked out of the house, the nurse next to Ning Yueyao hurriedly put the cloak that was not yet hot on the side concubine, Ning Yueyao fastened the cloak tie for herself, and followed quickly Go to Li Zhao.

Song Qingyue didn't go, she was both happy and uncomfortable.Glad that she could spend a day alone with her cousin, but not happy with Song Qingyue's contemptuous attitude towards her family.

Song Qingyue is now planning to show off completely and become a "technical master who can't get used to it and can't kill it".

Li Zhao, the vicious wolf, has almost been domesticated, and she feels that now she can live a little more as she wants.

After the establishment of the Military Academy and the ability of the court to train officers and soldiers who are only loyal to the country and the court, the importance of the Ning family, the Xu family, the Fang family, and the Liu family will be greatly reduced.

The old lady of the Ning family?
That old lady... she was considered a heroine in the big festival, Song Qingyue didn't want to judge her.

The military-civilian relationship in the feudal monarchy period was extremely tense and even antagonistic.

This is an era when there is no thought of "serving the people". Most of the generals are for the family, for meritorious service, and for status; most of the soldiers are for making a living.

Therefore, although many generals fought back the foreign invaders heroically, at the same time they also engaged in the deeds of embezzling the good fields of military households, eating empty wages, and plundering the common people.

Whenever the army crossed the border, once the supply of food and grass was not in time, the army became robbers and bandits, and it was not uncommon to plunder the people on the spot.

The "military-civilian family" thing is something that only happened in the era of the Republic.

A country that only mentions loyalty to the emperor but does not mention patriotism will lose a lot of cohesion and combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, Song Qingyue really wanted to go to Huoqi Camp to visit her second brother.

Coincidentally, she has been bored at home these days, and it's time to go out for some air.

Nanny Bai wanted to dissuade her, but Song Qingyue would not listen to persuasion. She asked Mo Fan to prepare a few large boxes of snacks, then took Feng Qi, Feng Jiu and Zeng Maozhi and they set off.

The Firearms Battalion is located in the north of the city, and now has a total of 1 people.

It is equivalent to the strength of a guard.

Among the 1 people, there are 1000 artillerymen, 4000 muskets, and [-] infantry. Rifled guns are more accurate, longer and heavier, and are not very convenient to use on horseback. Rifled guns are currently infantry, with [-] men.There are still [-] people who Li Zhao chose to be tall and have good physical fitness to strengthen their physical training, but they have not yet been classified.

The reason is also simple, because so many guns and cannons have not been made yet.

The productivity of shells and bullets used for training could not keep up.

So, in fact, Li Zhao relied on such a mere firearms battalion of a few thousand people to defeat [-] Chen's troops and flee in all directions, which shows how terrifying the combat effectiveness of cross-age weapons can be.

It stands to reason that Huoqi Camp is definitely not a place where ordinary people can enter casually. Song Qingyue originally thought that she could only call her second brother outside the camp to say a few words and then go home. Who knew that Zeng Maozhi actually had Eunuch Wang in his hands token!

So Song Qingyue brought a few servant girls into the camp unimpeded!
Because today's itinerary was improvised, Song Chenxu didn't know that Song Qingyue was coming, and he was still doing obstacle course training with the soldiers on the school grounds!

This is the training that Song Qingyue is accustomed to seeing, but it is not a scene that can be seen in other military camps.

Because even if you are a soldier these days, there are very few people who can really have enough food.Only the firearms battalion supported by His Majesty's private treasury can proudly let the soldiers eat with their stomachs open and say: "Enough!".

In the rest of the barracks, because the soldiers are half-starved all the year round, they need to avoid strenuous exercise like long-distance running during training.

The battalion commander of the firearms battalion was Fu Chengfeng, who was sent to be the battalion commander of the firearms battalion because he was particularly accurate in shooting rifled guns.

This person who has been by Li Zhao's side all the time is one of the few people who knows what kind of ruthless character this Princess Jin is, so she treats Song Qingyue with a very respectful attitude and dare not be slighted.

"Why did the concubine come here in person? If you have something for the second son of Song, just send someone to deliver it." Fu Chengfeng served Song Qingyue tea and water in person, serving him very attentively.

Song Qingyue looked at the tea in the cup, sighed and pushed it away, and said, "I'm bored in the mansion, so I suddenly thought of coming over to have a look. Guard Fu, don't dislike me."

"How can I dislike you, the concubine is just joking." He looked at the tea pushed away by Song Qingyue with some hesitation, wondering if he thought his tea was not good?He took out all the tea bestowed by the emperor!On weekdays, he himself is reluctant to drink it!
Song Qingyue followed Fu Chengfeng's dazed eyes to see the teacup in her hand, and then suddenly realized that Fu Chengfeng didn't know that she was pregnant, so she hurriedly said: "I haven't been able to sleep well at night recently, the imperial doctor told me Do not drink tea during the day. Ginger tea would be excellent."

"Ginger tea? Ah! There is some!" Fu Chengfeng heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately called his personal guards to ask them to bring down the black tea and exchange it for ginger tea.

Fu Chengfeng didn't even dare to sit down in front of Song Qingyue, so he didn't stand or sit, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look.The two were not very familiar with each other, and for a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Song Qingyue had nothing to say and said: "Guard Fu Gaosheng, I forgot to congratulate you, should I be called General Fu now? I didn't think so much when I came here today, I only brought a few boxes of snacks. General Fu If you don’t like it, please accept the two boxes first. I will make up for the rest of the congratulatory gifts in another day.”

"Don't dare to be, dare not be, princess, you are too polite!"

"It's what you want. How can you say that our Highness has relied on the general for the past year to be safe. As a wife, I should thank you out of emotion and reason."

"Whether you deserve it or not, this is Cheng Feng's job. You really don't need to say this to Cheng Feng, Madam Wangfei. Cheng Feng is ashamed!"

After the two were polite, Song Chenxu finally came here covered in sweat.

"Second brother!" Song Qingyue didn't stand up because she was pregnant, but sat and waved to Song Chenxu.

Song Chenxu was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously felt a little weird, but he was so happy to see the third sister, so he didn't think too much, walked in with a smile, and asked, "Why are you here suddenly? You didn't say hello in advance, look at the second sister." My brother stinks."

When Song Chenxu said this, Song Qingyue really smelled the smell of sweat wafting from his body. She is pregnant now, and her sense of smell is more sensitive than usual, but it is not easy to cover her nose with her second brother, so she will drink ginger tea later With the teacup covering his mouth and nose, he said: "It's just that staying in the mansion is too boring, thinking that I haven't seen the Firearms Camp yet, so I suddenly thought of coming to Second Brother to see and see."

Song Chenxu smiled bitterly: "You still want to see?"

Since Song Qingyue's identity is still being kept secret, he can't say too much. There are only Fu Chengfeng, Song Erlang, Song Qingyue, and Zeng Maozhi in this hall. Erlang just said the meaning behind that sentence.

Everyone just felt strange, why did Boss Fu let Princess Jin in so easily?You must know that this firearms battalion is the most valued by the emperor now!Even Jin Yiwei's people didn't come in just because they wanted to.

Even the father-in-law of Dongchang was only allowed in with a token.

For the rest, even if the Second Prince came down, Boss Fu would resolutely stop them from entering!

The princess came as soon as she said it, but Boss Fu didn't look angry at all.

How strange!

Song Qingyue asked Mo Shan to give the snacks to the second elder brother, saying: "It's all stuffed with meat, not sweet, and it's specially made for you. Share it with your colleagues, and eat it within three days! Otherwise it will spoil."

"Okay! Second brother obeys!" Song Chenxu said with a good temper.

Only then did Song Qingyue take a good look at her second brother, and found that he was not only black, but also more than a little stronger!
Although I was not tall in the past, my body was slender, but now I look short and thick. Because of the developed trapezius muscles, even my neck has become thicker and shorter, and it is not as good-looking as it used to be!

What should I do if I feel disgusted?
On the other side, Song Chenxu saw his younger sister looking at him, he was quite shy about the muscles he had worked so hard to train, and he didn't know that his younger sister was already complaining in his heart.

"Third sister is here today to..." He said aside, looking at the maids around Song Qingyue.

Song Qingyue came to her senses and asked Feng Qi and the others to go out. Here, Fu Chengfeng also asked the idlers to leave. Song Chenxu said: "The third sister is here today, but she wants to visit the armory? But what's the improvement?" New idea for a firearm?"

"No, no!" Song Qingyue waved her hands again and again, "Although I really want to go and see it, I still don't want to go, so as not to be seen and gossip. I really have nothing to do when I come, but I am too bored at home .” She propped her chin in a coquettish tone.

One sentence left Fu Chengfeng and Song Chenxu speechless. Fu Chengfeng looked at Song Chenxu: Is your sister so willful?

Song Chenxu rubbed his nose: My sister has been used to being free and undisciplined since she was a child, and there is really nothing I can do about her.

Song Chenxu had no choice but to give up, and asked, "Where is Your Highness? Why didn't you come with you?"

"Ah! Today is the old lady of the Ning family's birthday. He and Concubine Ning went to Zhenbei Gongfu to celebrate the old lady's birthday."

Song Chenxu was surprised for a moment, Fu Chengfeng knew about this, and he even sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

But people don't have to go.

As the commander of the Firearms Battalion now, it's not easy for him to get too close to those nobles.

Afterwards, Song Qingyue stayed to chat for a while, and when it was approaching noon, Song Qingyue suddenly became concerned about the food for the soldiers of the Firearms Battalion.

Song Chenxu and Fu Chengfeng also had nothing to do with this wayward princess, they could only do as she wished, bringing the meals of ordinary soldiers into the house for Song Qingyue to see.

Seeing Song Qingyue picking up chopsticks to eat, Mo Fan hurriedly stopped her and said in a low voice, "Princess, let's go back home to eat?"

Song Qingyue hummed, but seeing the rice and vegetables in the bowl, Song Qingyue didn't have any desire to eat.

The meals of the soldiers of the Huoqi Battalion were not much better, that is, white rice and big white steamed buns were enough, but there was only one spoonful of vegetables.At noon today, shredded radish, chives, a little minced meat and eggs are fried together in a large pot.

There is more vegetable oil and salt in the vegetables than in general military camps, but people don't have much appetite looking at them.

Song Qingyue picked up the vegetables in the bowl with chopsticks, frowned and said, "I think the meat and eggs are still missing."

Both Fu Chengfeng and Song Chenxu were taken aback.

Song Qingyue remembered that in her previous life, the meals served by soldiers of the Republic were very good in the whole world.

Only by eating more meat, egg and milk can we have strength and withstand consumption!

How can you just eat white flour steamed buns?

So she said: "This food is terrible! How can I eat like this?"

The soldier who served the food in the hall heard Wang Hao's words, his eyes widened!

Is this bad?
That's pretty good, right?

Except for Jin Yiwei's gang of young masters, all the soldiers in Dazhou had the best food in the Firearms Camp!

There is enough oil and water, and there is still a meaty smell!

What nonsense is this princess talking about?
At this time, the soldiers assigned Song Qingyue to the "why not eat minced meat" kind of nobles who don't know the sufferings of the world.

How did he know what Song Qingyue's comparison standard was.

Song Qingyue was serious. She looked at her second brother and said, "Second brother, you are the clerk. Are you in charge of the logistics of the barracks?"

Song Chenxu nodded.

Song Qingyue said: "Why don't you ask the emperor, can you raise some chickens and pigs directly in the barracks? I think it's good to let the soldiers eat some beef, or you can ask Your Majesty, the cattle in my village will , I won’t sell any farm cattle, and I will supply beef exclusively to Huoqiying, how about that?”

"Eat beef?!"

Both Fu Chengfeng and Song Chenxu were shocked!
But when they saw Song Qingyue's serious expression, they knew she was serious!
After a brief moment of stupefaction, Song Chenxu agreed straight away: "Okay! I'll give His Majesty a note later and talk about it."

Song Chenxu already has a kind of blind superstition towards his third younger sister, everything the third younger sister says is right!The third sister said that if you want to eat beef, you must eat beef!
Song Qingyue saw her second elder brother gritted her teeth and agreed to herself, she burst out laughing, and said: "Then it's settled, after His Majesty agrees, you do the math, if you eat beef once every five days, one tael per person, I'll eat it every day." It is enough to bring a few cows over for a supply."

"Okay! Don't worry, third sister, second brother will definitely take care of it for you!"

Song Qingyue suddenly yawned at this moment, she stood up and said with a smile: "General Fu, I came today without saying hello, I caused you trouble, please forgive me!"

"What's the matter!" Fu Chengfeng said with a smile, "Princess Jin also has good intentions, how could Fu be ignorant of good and bad."

"Then I'll take my leave! Second brother, I'll see you another day!" Song Qingyue stood up, put her hand on Feng Qi's arm, and walked out slowly and carefully.

"I'll see you off!" Song Chenxu said.

In the hall, the little soldier who had just served the meal was still in a daze.

Why, what does the princess mean to add meat to them?
not kidding?

The clerk just promised to write a book for the emperor!
But can the emperor agree?
Xiaobing was a little excited, but he didn't dare to expect too much.

After much deliberation, I feel that the words of a backdoor woman can count?It must be the clerk who coaxed his sister to be happy!
Eh!
He sighed, what is the big dream?
Being able to enter the Firearms Battalion is already a blessing of eight lifetimes!
What are you still thinking about?
