Chapter 1226: The Ming Army Should Be Rescued Urgently

"Why didn't they kill them? A scout team of fifty people means the enemy has at least thirty thousand or fifty thousand people."

Zhao Yao, the provincial councilor of Peking, could not help but speak out. A group of people hid under a big tree, and lightning was crackling in the sky...

He was familiar with the situation of the Northern Yuan army. A scout team of fifty people meant that the enemy knew that they had entered a wartime state, so fifty people could be an army of thirty to fifty thousand.

Forty scout teams should be sent out at a time, that is, two thousand people, and all of them must be elite. Just like in the Ming Dynasty, scouts must be elite.

The key scout was stubborn and prepared himself mentally before being caught, waiting to be tortured at any time.

Therefore, when catching a "tongue", usually the scouts are not captured. If one or two are captured, the others will go back and tell the commander.

Even before leaving, they would find a way to kill the captured people and give them a quick death.

The Night Scouts of the Ming Dynasty were specialized in sneaking into the enemy's camp area, capturing people who were not scouts and bringing them back for interrogation.

Now the scouts belonging to the Ming Dynasty have discovered the scouts of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The scouts of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are hiding under a big tree and have no idea that they have been exposed.

"Eat skewers. Hanhan's grilled meat skewers are fragrant, tender and chewy." Xu Da picked up a skewer of meat and praised.

Zhu Wentian: "..."

He didn't know how these two opposing existences, tender and chewy, could be unified. Fortunately, he knew that even if there were 50,000 Northern Yuan troops, it wouldn't matter.

It was late at night and it was raining heavily. The Northern Yuan army must have been feeling very uncomfortable.

My team was moving slowly, so I saw the morning glow and prepared in advance. Where did the Beiyuan people come from? Were they prepared?

Not to mention a team of 50,000 or 100,000, they can't pose any threat to their side if they are told to fight.

The other people in the big tent didn't care either. They knew their own team's firepower configuration: mortars, grenades, explosive packs, single-shot rifles, assault rifles, submachine guns, pistols...

Therefore, we should enjoy life to the fullest and seize the time to eat. Didn’t you see that there were other young people in Xiaqiu Village making fried buns?
This is a stew made with starch from the soup that is deliberately left out when making jelly. It is usually made with the water used to cook sausages. I haven't made sausages in the past two days.

In Xiaqiu Village, people make boiled animal skin jelly by boiling it with animal skins and hooves, and then soaking it in cold water to remove the fishy smell.

When braising, the first thing that comes out is clear soup without meat and skin. Pour it out and let it stand, and you will get a clear, translucent soup without any meat, skin or skin in it.

Add water again and continue to boil. This time, add the pork skin cut into strips into the pot after boiling. This is called pork skin jelly, which is also milky white.

If you want to eat pork trotters with sauce, add soy sauce or soybean paste to it, so that the jelly will be the color of soy sauce.

Add more water and use it alone to make stewed food.

It is used to supplement collagen. The team includes palace maids who need maintenance and women who are breastfeeding their children.

They need collagen. When the body needs it, eating this jelly can absorb the collagen. When it is not needed, no matter how much you eat, it will be useless. It just tastes good.

The jelly was shared with others, and the people in the tent could only eat stewed food. Fried food was the best, and roasted food was not tasty.

This kind of stewed rice is from the Northeast region during the time of Zhu Wentian, but it does not include Dalian. The stewed rice in Dalian is not white, but translucent, giving the impression of being black.

The Dalian stewed rice is fried and eaten with chili oil, sesame paste, garlic juice and other condiments, which is called fried stewed rice.

The amount of starch produced in Dalian's stewed dumplings is larger than that in other places, especially the stewed dumplings in Heilongjiang are not as solid.

The same is true for Liaoning. Even though Dalian belongs to Liaoning, many customs are different from those in other places in Liaoning, because Dalian was once a colony of Japan! Like Shanghai. Japan occupied it for a long time, so some descendants of Japan stayed.

There are also descendants of the Japanese in some places including Heilongjiang. After the war, they did not go back. One of their descendants in Heilongjiang became an official.

A new place was chosen and a monument was erected for those who died in the victory over the Japanese pirates. The official said that the souls of the dead should not be left without a home, and he was about to cry.

There are more people like this in Dalian and Shanghai, but fewer in Sanya. Basically, you don't see people from Japan. Even if they come, they dare not tell anyone because they are afraid of death.

There are many people from Nanbangzi in Sanya who come here to play, spend money, and eat unfamiliar food.

People from South Korea should actually come to Yanbian in the northeast to play. The food there is guaranteed to be delicious, and there are many restaurants run by Koreans there.

This is what Xiaqiu Village makes. Even without cooking the sausages, you can still make a similar soup.

……

"According to what you said, we should be able to ambush the so-called Ming army while they are on their way, but our other teams have not sent back any news yet. Damn the rain!"

At the same time, just as the people in the tent thought, the Northern Yuan army did not know that they had encountered the main force of the Ming Dynasty.

But it was not 50,000 people, but 80,000 people. The scouts of the Northern Yuan regular army, which exceeded 50,000, were generally composed of a team of 100 people.

Scouts not only gather information, but can also attack when they find an opportunity, such as rushing over and burning the enemy's food supplies if they discover that the defense is lax.

It doesn't matter if I'm exposed. I'll achieve my goal by burning you, and I'll die if I want.

However, the people in this team did not expect to come into contact with the Ming army in such heavy rain. They had no telegraph or even telescopes!
The scout teams sent out were customary, and the military discipline was relaxed and not that strict.

This is how Nahachu, who led a population of more than 200,000 people, managed the place. The Northern Yuan Dynasty lost Karakorum and all news was completely cut off.

Historically, he controlled a large territory, including the Mongolian grasslands, the Northeastern Jurchens, and parts of Goryeo, all of which were his sphere of influence.

Because the Ming army at that time had not succeeded in defeating the Northern Yuan Dynasty, it was difficult to withdraw troops to fight him.

What happened next! Three years later, Feng Sheng led an army of 200,000 to attack, and he surrendered.

He had 200,000 men, but not all of them were capable of fighting. They also included the elderly, the young, women, etc. Feng Sheng's 200,000 men were all warriors.

Now Nahachu didn't know the history, so he listened to his "military advisor" and came to make arrangements.

A voice sounded from behind the curtain of the tent: "It will be soon. According to our plan, the Ming army will definitely receive the news and come to reinforce.

They would not give up the Jurchen places and population; they needed them.

The most likely possibility is that the Ming army thought that we wanted to disrupt the position of the Jurchen tribes and block their opportunities to trade with the Ming.

The Ming army can only march quickly, so we should wait for them to tire themselves out.

It is said that they have a master, I want to see how great that master is, humph!"

"Sister! You are a girl, and you have to worry about such things. It's hard for you."

Nahachu nodded as he listened, and finally shook his head, looking helpless. This sister insisted on ruling the country from behind the scenes.
