The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 224 Huaiqing

The sacred chariot, the Kitchen King on top of the sacred chariot, and the heavenly soldiers standing opposite the Kitchen King with an open space in the middle, arranged neatly.

They were in the middle, with people on both sides watching.

They stared at the open space between the Kitchen King and the Heavenly Soldiers for a moment.

The open space was filled with countless amounts of food.

The Heavenly Soldiers' breath was suffocated, and their eyes searched among the Heavenly Soldiers' meals.

Black, white, red, and soon, they saw the new heavenly soldier meal.

There was a frame that looked like woven bamboo strips, with a pancake lying quietly inside. The center of the pancake was white, and it looked like it was made of fine flour. It started to turn yellow from the middle toward the outside, and started to burn at the edges. , the pancake is open, filled with meat, some oil seems to be flowing out, and there seems to be green vegetables inside the meat, making the already delicious meat pancake look even more delicious. .

Next to the white steamed buns, there are five pieces of garlic.

If you eat meat without garlic, the flavor will be half as good. This day's soldier's meal is quite humane.

The militiamen and the surrounding people watched this scene eagerly.

He saw Kitchen King conjuring these things with his own eyes, and his heart suddenly became extremely complicated.

"Dear me, bitch, there's too much meat in these white flour steamed buns."

How many people look forward to the stars and the moon, just to have a meal from the heavenly soldiers?

Most of the Tianbing people are from Shaanxi, so they naturally know the specialties of Shaanxi.

Liu Zhenhua didn't do any ink. After saying this, he jumped off the sacred chariot.

In this world, it can be concluded that it belongs to the Kitchen King.

Of course, at this time, it is not considered a special delicacy of Shaanxi.

Happiness is that this is what they strive for.

Troubled times are the best ladder.

If these are not gods, then what else is a god?

They would applaud and praise whatever they conjured using ordinary magic tricks.

For the militiamen, watching this scene was both painful and joyful.

This height is nothing to him.

After all, being able to have such a method, Li Zicheng, who was born in a poor family, naturally knew how tempting this was to the people of the world.

The densely packed food almost covered the entire ground.

The Heavenly Soldiers suppressed the excitement in their hearts, walked quickly to the Heavenly Soldiers' meal, picked up the Roujiamo and ate it. After one bite, the fragrant dough, meat flavor, and a hint of green pepper instantly filled their mouths.

But after thinking about it for a moment, the Heavenly Soldiers' Meal is still food for human consumption after all. Most of the ingredients in it are from the human world, but they are just very valuable.

"Dine!"

All I can say is, this is the Heavenly Soldier!
"awesome!"

Now, this is something conjured by gods.

This food soon spread and became a staple food for local people. Over time, it gradually developed into a traditional snack with its own characteristics.

This thing feels not much different from the previous pork trotter rice.

"Since he is appreciated by the Kitchen King, he is the founding minister who conquered the world with the Kitchen King. The fate of the Li family has begun to change. In the future, future generations will no longer have to suffer the hardship of poverty," Li Zicheng's eyes flashed and his mood was excited.

It hurts because I can't eat. It hurts so much to watch others eat when I can't eat.

Just take a bite of garlic, and this is the greatest enjoyment in the world.

With this alone, even without those magical weapons and the behemoth divine chariot, the Kitchen King could easily conquer the world.

Some people lamented that although they knew that the steamed buns were like the ones in their hometown, they were not so luxurious with so much meat inside.

"What a fairy."

Some people even say that the origin of Roujiamo is inseparable from Li Shimin. According to legend, one day during the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was hunting in the mountains. Due to the tightness of his followers, he could only bring noodles and some wild boar meat. Later, They used wild boar meat and seasonings to make a preliminary form of Roujiamo, which solved their hunger.

Pork, beef, fish, who can eat these things every day?

The fat meat is really not greasy, the lean meat is full of oil, the bread is crispy and the green pepper is chewy.

Li Zicheng looked at the exquisite food on the ground with a complicated expression.

Some of the heavenly soldiers had surprised expressions on their faces. Isn't this steamed bun with cured sauce?

They were relieved.

Roujiamo.

Some people among the common people have seen such a scene. After all, the heavenly soldiers have been staying in Fucheng, Henan for many days.

This is something that can make countless people throw their lives and blood.

But when they see this scene again, they will still feel extremely shocked.

Enough for all the heavenly soldiers to eat.

The Roujiamo can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. According to historical records, the Roujiamo first appeared in the Tang Dynasty. In order to cater to the busy pace of life, people at that time began to stack the buns on top of each other and add stewed meat.

Those who are capable can climb very high on this ladder in troubled times.

Incompetent people are incompetent.

After the meals for the Heavenly Soldiers were distributed, porridge began to be given outside the city. After hearing the news, all the people within a ten-mile radius came over. However, after arriving, they could only drink some rice soup.

After all, every time Liu Zhenhua gave out porridge, he would make a rough statistics of the people who might come.

Even rice soup is enough to warm these suffering people.

The governor of Huaiqing Fucheng frowned when he heard the report from his subordinates, "There are too many people, and they are back again?"

Recently, the Kitchen King captured Henan Fucheng, and Henan Governor Qiu Zhaolin fled. So far, there is still no new news from the court.

Huaiqing Mansion is in danger.

As the governor of Huaiqing Mansion, he naturally had to prepare for the worst. The Kitchen King might attack Huaiqing at any time.

Therefore, he started preparations to defend the city early.

The first is to demolish the houses outside the city. These things will only serve as a boost when the opponent attacks the city.

Afterwards, the granaries were opened to release grain to stabilize the morale of the people and the army. They took this opportunity to recruit local warriors and prepare equipment to defend the city.

But who knows.

Opening a granary to store grain is indeed useful, but not much. After a period of time, the people became more honest and praised the governor as a good man.

However, the government's food supply was limited after all, and the large landlords were unwilling to use their own food to sponsor him.

Even if he held a banquet for these people in the government office, it would have no effect.

These people had no idea what would happen to them if the Kitchen King entered the city.

These people are still as desperate as iron cocks.

Three days after the grain was put out, the grain in the official warehouse was already running low. Five days later, the rice porridge was so thin that almost no grain of rice could be seen.

At this point, the situation took a turn for the worse.

The people in the city began to lose a large number of people.

Originally, most of the people in the city were people who had gathered outside the city.

Their resistance to attack is very weak.

This will happen if there are slight natural disasters or man-made disasters, waiting for government relief.

Now, there is someone more prestigious than the government. Naturally, these people fled one after another, and the low-level merchants and hawkers also chose this path because they could not survive.

Take refuge in the Kitchen King.

The government cannot close the city gates, as this will cause the morale of the people in the city to fluctuate, and so will the morale of the military.

He had heard that Fucheng in Henan surrendered without a fight.

The Kitchen King captured Henan Fucheng without spending a single soldier.

Although I don’t know how it was done, it must be related to the impetuous morale of the military and the people.

He didn't want to follow Qiu Zhaolin's old path.

If he was blamed by the imperial court, all the nine clans might not survive, and he would not have the face to face his ancestors even if he died.

"The common people are back. Could it be that there are too many people crowding in on the Kitchen King's side, and the Kitchen King can't bear it anymore?"

"It should be."

Governor Huaiqing thought thoughtfully, "But this is also a good thing. Hurry up and recruit local braves and train them to go to the city."

"At least we can maintain the basic order of the city wall and be able to defend a little when the Kitchen King attacks the city."

Although most of the ancient rural warriors were recruited from ordinary people, a large number of people in ancient times were tasked with attacking and defending city walls without any technical operations, such as throwing rolling logs and stones and pouring hot water, gold, juice, and kerosene.

Or stabbing someone with a weapon.

Basically everyone knows it.

Their Huaiqing city can be lost, but they cannot be captured by the Kitchen King without any effort. So many cities in the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of the Kitchen King.

He didn't think that relying on Huaiqing Fucheng could break the Kitchen King's undefeated myth.

He just hoped that he wouldn't be like Governor Qiu Zhaolin.

At least he has the face to face his ancestors.

He resisted, but the bandits were too powerful.

Nearly three hundred people returned to Huaiqing Fucheng.

When these people heard that Huaiqing Mansion was recruiting Xiang Yong.

People are eager to sign up.

This surprised the officials responsible for recruiting Xiangyong.

There are actually people rushing to get there.

You must know that the rewards they give are not too much, they are just for taking care of the food and settling the money and food after the war.

"Is it because these people didn't ask for food from the Kitchen King and are too hungry?"

You know, the distance between Henan Fucheng and Huaiqing Fucheng is not that far, but it is still more than two hundred miles.

If these people found that there was nothing to eat when they arrived at Kitchen King's place, they would probably be very hungry after just one trip back and forth.

After just a little thought, the man gave up thinking and asked these people to join Xiang Yong's team. In the end, the people recruited were not many, only 800 people.

However, compared to the last time we raised a few hundred people, it is already very good.

Governor Huaiqing knew that the famine was probably getting worse.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to recruit so many people with this little benefit.

Governor Huaiqing lamented that there was nothing he could do about the natural disaster.

The top priority now is just to protect this huge city.

Let it resist the Kitchen King's impact for a while longer.

Liu Zhenhua knew what was going on in Huaiqing Fucheng and was ready to resist, but he didn't know that nearly one-third of these rural warriors were people who wanted to rebel.

One-fifth of the soldiers guarding the city were those who wanted to rebel.

The resistance force in Huaiqing Fucheng is not much. To be precise, this is the standard configuration of ordinary Fucheng, a small number of city defenders + the rural warriors recruited from the previous part.

The governor has no power to control the army.

When Henan was in disarray and the court didn't know what to do, Huaiqing Fucheng was able to recruit so many people because the time, place and people were favorable.

With two thousand heavenly soldiers, Liu Zhenhua headed towards Fucheng, Henan.

Li Zicheng, who was promoted, was also included.

Liu Zhenhua decided to take over the city and let Li Zicheng do it alone.

This kid's ability is a bit underwhelming to just stay in the military camp and follow him step by step to conquer the city.

Although, in history, this person became a little arrogant after taking the capital, and was eventually picked by the Qing army southward.

However, this is also a good thing for Liu Zhenhua. He is so proud after winning the capital, which proves that this person is not an imperial talent. Being able to win the capital proves that this person is really powerful.

Coupled with his divine power, this person will definitely work loyally and honestly with him.

Huaiqing Fucheng is not that big. Compared with Henan Fucheng, the city wall is more than one meter lower.

And there is no moat around Huaiqing City.

Under such conditions, the governor still actively organized forces to resist, which is enough to show that he is a responsible and good governor. In Liu Zhenhua's words, he is a talent.

When the army came to the city, Liu Zhenhua did not even adopt the method of encirclement.

Just like this, they lined up in the west of Huaiqing Prefecture.

Governor Huaiqing looked at the army in the distance and said, "Kitchen King, you don't take people seriously."

This army is just right for a small county town, but it seems a bit small for a prefectural city.

Moreover, it is still a one-sided attack.

The total number of opponents was only 2,000. If it weren't for the Stove King's special condition, Governor Huaiqing would have wanted to send people out to have a chance encounter with the Stove King's army.

"Don't be careless. The Kitchen King can cause trouble and never fails. There must be something special about him."

Suddenly, Governor Huaiqing's eyes were attracted by the slowly moving behemoth, and he felt a thump in his heart, thinking about the rumors about the Stove King.

Check this thing out.

I'm afraid the rumors about the Kitchen King are true.

At that time, Fucheng in Henan fell.

Just because I was scared by this thing.

Governor Huaiqing looked around and breathed a sigh of relief, because the local warriors and soldiers around him were not afraid, and some were only a few.

These few people naturally cannot affect the overall situation.

"The governor of Henan, the people under his rule are not as strong as the people under my rule," he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But suddenly he heard a loud sound coming from the other side.

"Governor Huaiqing, I admire you for being able to organize a resistance in the face of my attack on the city. Now, open the city gate and surrender. Huaiqing Mansion will still be your Huaiqing Mansion."

The official position Liu Zhenhua gave him must not be fearful or high. Although it seems that the officials are still in their original positions, how many bandits can keep these officials in their positions after taking over the city.

Governor Huaiqing blushed. This was the humiliation of the thieves, but even if he spoke from such a distance, the thieves might not be able to hear him.

"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow!"

He could only use this method to express his determination to stay in the city.
