Villager of Daming

Chapter 1158: Using tricks to prepare weapons for the enemy

The princes ate wild vegetables happily, and the local people also ate happily, but they did not like eating wild vegetables.

For the common people, mountain vegetables are not as good as cucumbers and eggplants, but mushrooms are good and taste like meat.

The people eat fish, and the fish in the Hun River are caught in piles with boat trawls. The big fish are actually not very tasty. They don't need the heads at all. They chop them into pieces and feed them to chickens and ducks. If you want to feed them to pigs, they have to be cooked.

After the fish is stewed, don't take it out first. Let it cool down, and then shovel it out after the fish is frozen. This way, all the seasonings in the soup are there, otherwise the soup can only be saved for the next meal.

Under the influence of a large amount of seasonings, the common people ate the flour cakes made from 80 flour and thought it was the most delicious food in the world.

The leader of the Jurchen tribe who was close to the Ming Dynasty and the people they brought with him also ate the same meal. They were free of charge and they all helped. How many meals are you willing to give up?

Those who fight with them can only pay for food, or eat the food they bring themselves. Their favorite is to grow highland barley.

It is convenient to grow highland barley on the black soil in the Northeast. You don’t need to pay special attention to watering or weeding. However, the texture and taste are not very good when you eat it after harvesting.

They don't know how to make cold noodles from highland barley. They usually cook it, and then fry it when they go out. They take it with them when they go out, eat some salt, and then eat some fried highland barley. They just deal with it and focus on survival.

Ling'er looked at Xu Da: "General Xu, what we eat is different from what they eat."

She just said this without further explanation. The fish jelly over there has a bit of fishy smell. The small crucian carp jelly eaten by her own people can't taste the fishy smell. They just put in the beer. Apart from the bitter taste of hops, The fishy effect is good.

Either there are those who are willing to grow sorghum, be diligent and water it in time, or fry sorghum and take it with them, but they will not use sorghum to make pancakes.

A tribal leader with bruises and bruises on his face gritted his teeth and took out the money.

Not to mention flour cakes, even if the leader grows some wheat, he can't grind out 80 flour, so he only eats whole wheat flour.

"Buy, just buy the same fish stew and pancakes."

……

In the past, they could buy food at the mutual market for a little money, but now the price of those meals has increased.

When stewing fish over there, they add white wine, including highland barley white wine, barley white wine, and sorghum white wine. They don’t use rice wine, and they don’t use wheat wine either.

Their injuries were obviously more serious than those over there, and they were about the same yesterday, but the others had the imperial physician help with medication, acupuncture, alternating hot and cold compresses, and ice made from saltpeter was used just like that.

The fish smells delicious when it is stewed, and the fish looks even more appetizing after it is stewed, especially the color with soy sauce, which is very appetizing.

Traditional Chinese medicine is still very good in this area. By the time the team over there wants to go back, it will basically be fine.

You can buy fish and sell it, and the price is calculated by the pound, which is thirty cents per pound, and there are a lot of seasonings in it!
People who spend money to eat gnash their teeth, take a breath of cold air from time to time, and hiss twice, it hurts.

He came with people, and his subordinates watched the people of other tribes eat. If he eats highland barley and salt here, it will be too demoralizing, people will be scattered, and it will be difficult to lead the team.

"If you freeze this fish, sell it to them for thirty cents per catty. How cheap!"

Xu Da ate fish jelly made from crucian carp. They were all small crucian carp about a handful in length. They were stewed until the shape was no longer visible. The bones were crispy and the meat flew away. After it solidified into jelly, he cut it into pieces with a knife and pinched it with chopsticks. Trembling.

This is still wine distilled in department stores. It is usually sold to others for drinking. It can also be used as medicine. It can be absorbed well when brewed into medicinal wine.

The smell of white wine is far inferior to that of rice wine and beer, and there is still a smell of lees in it, so not much is added. There are also few other seasonings, which are ground into powder and put into the soup to stew.

"Oh yes! Forgot! But the two sides might fight after they go back, or even ambush each other on the road. If those who are close to Daming suffer too much..." Xu Da swallowed the fish jelly and picked up another dumpling.

"Give them weapons, bows and arrows, and ask the craftsmen to make temporary leather armors and skinned wooden shields. The people on the other side should be worried."

The head of the village had already thought of a response strategy and sent him. There was the original warehouse here, and there were also warehouse weapons seized from the Beiyuan people who evacuated this place.

Crossbows are the most difficult to make and require high requirements. A good crossbow takes several years to make. As long as the materials for a bow can be obtained, it only takes one year from preparing the materials to making a good bow.

Beef tendons are the best for making bowstrings. As long as the cattle were killed in the Ming Dynasty, officials would ask for the tendons to be tightened. The prices given were high, so it was fine not to sell them. Usually, it was better to sell them than to eat them.

The beef tendons need to be smashed into silk, and then the silk is used to weave the bowstring. The real power is the bow arm, and the wood must be selected and spliced. This is the case with the most classic horn bow.

The Jurchens obviously did not have that much beef tendon, so they used deer tendon instead. The arrowheads of the bow and arrow must be made of iron, and the tail feathers are made of goose feathers. The carved feather arrows are of course the best, but hunting eagles is not easy, and one cannot make one. How many arrows.

The arrowheads can be recycled. In many cases, the eagle feathers become unusable when they are shot and scratched, just like badminton feathers.

All parties involved in the war have reserves, including reserved materials, which are now available for craftsmen to make into finished products.

……

Do as you are told, and give as you are told.

In the afternoon, the tribal leaders who were pro-Da Ming were called over and asked to choose weapons.

"The manpower we brought is short. We should call all the people in the tribe who can fight, and then use good weapons to kill them. Hehehehehe..."

Wuerduo grinned and twitched his face twice as he smiled, regretting that he didn't bring many people.

Both sides fight in the same way. Whoever has better weapons has the advantage. The number of bows and arrows in the tribe is limited, but basically everyone can shoot arrows.

If an archer on one's side is shot or killed during a fight, the person next to him can immediately pick up his comrade's bow and continue the attack.

As soon as the warehouse is opened, everyone will look at the bow first. If everyone has a bow, they only need to wait for the enemy to charge.

Anyway, whoever charges has to expend physical energy. If he is shot on the way to charge, even if he insists on charging forward, the lethality will be far less than that of a person in normal condition.

Liu Sheng was in charge of the affairs here. He pointed to the bow and arrow: "You have already reported the number of people in your respective villages. We will give you weapons according to the proportion. In addition to bows, knives are also good.

Our best craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty are making shields and assembling new bows for your villages. Not a single arrow with bad fletching will escape.

You guys have been eating more meat in the past few days. You can have enough fish, and you can have as much bread as you want.

Let me tell you some good news. Our team will go to your villages to have a look. When we get there..."

Liu Sheng made the layout according to the method given by Zhu Wentian. He first gave these people good weapons. When the other group saw it, they were afraid of being killed, so it was best to leave early and go back to gather people.

Find a way to spread the news that the Ming Prince's team is going over to that group of people to see if they will tell the people in Beiyuan.

Once it is said, Beiyuan will definitely gather troops to attack in an ambush, or find favorable terrain to form a battle position head-on.

On the other hand, we are waiting. It is best to quickly engage the large forces of Beiyuan, so that we can capture many prisoners.
