Chapter 1251 Shen Zhao Ruozhen's Discussion on Conferring a Marquisate

A not very round moon rises on the eastern horizon, and it will no longer be visible in a few days.

After the dog days of summer, it is still hot, even in the northeast.

Many wild fruits are ripening one after another, but the mountain red fruits are still green. If you wait a little longer, you can eat them.

Plant growth conditions vary from region to region. Anyway, it’s still too early for rice grown in the Northeast to mature! Wait another two months!

Nahachu and several others attended the dinner and first knelt down and kowtowed to the four princes, because even if he waited for the Ming Dynasty court to confer the title, he would only be a marquis.

A marquis cannot be greater than a prince, let alone a marquis who has surrendered.

The princes' ceremonial processions had not yet been displayed, so everyone hurried on their journey in the afternoon, heading to the other side of the river, walking a longer distance and staying away from the river for fear of contracting a disease.

The water level of the river dropped and the shore was a mess.

Fortunately, this place is a plain and the road is easy to walk on. When the team arrived, the 5,000 people guarding it had already planned the camp.

Everyone sat down as host and guest. Under the surprised gaze of Nahachu and others, the people from Xiaqiu Village sat in a messy manner, looking uncomfortable no matter how you looked at them.

It felt like from any angle, there were people from Xiaqiu Village standing between the prince and himself. If he wanted to assassinate them with a crossbow, he would have to kill the people from Xiaqiu Village first.

Each person has a small table, and on the table is a small copper hot pot that burns charcoal with a chimney.

In fact, alcohol can be burned, but the team did not carry industrial alcohol. Instead, they had higher-proof medical alcohol and even a small amount of alcohol for analysis.

High-proof alcohol can also be used for disinfection, but it is not targeted at humans. Only 75% of it is used to treat external injuries.

Analytical-grade alcohol laboratories need it, but it is not necessary to use it for experiments at any time.

There were many injured people, so we were reluctant to use alcohol. We ate in the open air and burned charcoal to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

Zhu Wentian was still in charge of grilling skewers. Today there were beef skewers. The cow brought by the team died in the battle, so it was just right to grill.

"Thank you, Your Highnesses, for not cutting off the dead man's ears. When he was burned, the body was intact. Taking it back also serves as an explanation. As for the others, we buried them..."

After Naha finished his departure ceremony, he sat down and then stood up to express his gratitude. In the battle, if someone was killed, in order to prove that he was really dead, his ears would be cut off, and counting the ears would be counted as military merit.

Those here have been burned, leaving ashes. The 6,000 people who died earlier have been buried in pits, and it is impossible to go back and dig them out and burn them.

Nahachu felt a little regretful, but he didn't dare to blame anyone.

“Don’t worry, Governor. We have the photos. We will give them to their families and bury them with them.

Photos were also taken of the captives, and tomorrow we will take more photos of them. We brought a lot of film and photo paper.

This thing is great. Before the end of tomorrow, all the people in the entire Ming Dynasty must take photos.

The photo is pasted on the household registration, and then stamped. There is no need to write down the characteristics. That is not accurate at all. The photo is just this..."

Prince of Qin Zhu Chong spoke and at the same time signaled to the palace maid beside him to show the photos to Nahachu and a few others.

As a result, the palace maid took out a photo of herself, wearing beautiful clothes and dancing.

Nahachu looked at the maid, then compared it with the photo and nodded: "Beautiful! As beautiful as the real person!"

"Let me see." Gegehaji stretched out his hand.

When the photo fell into her hands, she liked it instantly: "This is great! The painting is not as realistic as the one now. How long does it take to make one like this?"

"To answer the young lady, when we were dancing normally, there was a sudden clap and it became like this. There was no need to wait.

Unless you specifically find a pose, take it, click it, and then go back to develop the photo. This can be used with a telegraph and a telescope for scouts. After discovering the situation, the scout takes a photo, sends a telegram back, and waits for the person to go back and develop the photo to see.

Especially when the scouts are not sure which person in the enemy's team is a specific general, they will look for familiar people to identify him after returning.

Including the number of enemy troops, equipment status, etc., all can be known to the generals on their side. "

As the maid was talking, she started talking about the use of cameras on the battlefield, which was very convenient.

A scout is a team that carries a complete set of stuff and has good weapons.

Gegehaji nodded continuously: "We can take photos of people and terrain! This way, the generals don't have to go to the place in person to see it. They can deploy according to the situation based on the photos brought back by the scouts."

"Miss, you are right!" The maid nodded.

The photo was also given to Nahachu's wife. She was also interested in it. She asked many painters to draw her portrait. She just wanted the painting to be similar to the real person, but she couldn't ask for it to be exactly the same as the real person. There were no such painters.

Now I have a photo that is like looking in the mirror. I can change my clothes and take a photo to keep as a souvenir.

After looking at the photos, the dish came. The meat was all sliced ​​thinly with ice chips underneath, and it looked fresh.

I've eaten hot pot and thin meat before, but I've never eaten such thin meat in the summer.

He looked up at the maid who was delivering the gifts and asked, "Is the ice made from saltpeter?"

"The governor is really amazing! It is indeed made by freezing saltpeter, and then shaving it into thin slices with a plane. In this way, it only needs to be rinsed in the pot for a few times to be cooked, and the belly is also included, which can usually be eaten in two breaths.

Unless it is for entertaining distinguished guests, the princes would be reluctant to use it. This is best for the wounded, especially those with fever, for physical cooling.

But we won't need much, and we can have stew for the next meal without wasting ice."

The palace maid understood what the other party meant. It was too extravagant to take out the ice and not eat it directly, but to freeze the meat instead.

But this is to entertain you! You just surrendered, so I'll give you something good to eat.

"Thank you for the banquet, Your Highness. I guess the food in the Imperial City is not much different from this!"

Nahachu stood up again and spoke loudly, with his hands clasped together, with his left hand in front and his right hand behind.

"Sit down, Governor Nahachu. Father has already heard the good news and sent a telegram back, saying that he would entertain the Governor well. Father is discussing the matter of conferring a title of nobility with the ministers.

In the imperial city of Yingtian Prefecture, ordinary people cannot eat such food. Good restaurants have it, but it is expensive.

We usually... no, we eat together with Xiaqiu Village every day.

Sometimes we would go to the second floor of a box lunch restaurant on a street in Xiaqiu Village. If the headman didn’t bring anyone there, we would go to Xiaqiu Village to eat.

There is no shortage of ice there. Some of it is transported from the north in the winter, and some is made of saltpeter. It is worry-free to eat in Xiaqiu Village without having to find someone to test for poison.

Otherwise, a dish will be cold by the time you finish proofing it. This is only possible when eating hot pot or barbecue.

Can the head of the village help to think of a marquis? See which one is suitable? Otherwise, after the ministers have spoken, someone says it is not acceptable, and the head of the village has to speak again. "

Zhu Chong spoke again and told Nahachu first, we understand what you mean, we have already told our father, don't worry, there will be a marquis.

Since you have been given the title of Marquis, it means that you will not be killed again. Other ministers can discuss what title to give, which shows that the ministers also agree.

Then he talked about the importance of Xiaqiu Village. You can eat in Xiaqiu Village and there will be no drug test. Finally, he continued to emphasize that Xiaqiu Village can protect you. As for who is the Marquis, Xiaqiu Village has the final say.

Um! that's all!
