Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty
C2162 Elegance at a Banquet
Xiao Letian's worry was more or less teasing. Of course, he knew how self-disciplined the brothers he brought out were, as the Chinese New Army abhors women, and Xiao Letian could even allow his men to send some money out of the war. However, adultery was not allowed.
This was what an iron army should look like. It was fine to be greedy, but it was also tolerable to be greedy. However, they absolutely could not be greedy … Because the new army will rule in a region of East Asia where the Confucian spirit has nourished for thousands of years, adultery is considered the worst sin.
The honest and kind-hearted citizens could tolerate harsh laws and high taxes. They could eat the worst food three times a day. These could be tolerated, but there was one thing they could not tolerate. And that was adultery!
It was not as if the New Army had never committed such a mistake before, Xiao Letian clearly remembered that a total of three times, the New Army committed a heinous act against women.
With regards to this kind of behavior, Xiao Letian would definitely not tolerate it. He could only kill them with one word, and even more so, he would not use his military exploits to break through. It was these three bloody corpses that had intimidated the entire army, from that day onwards, including the military officers, no one could challenge his bottom line.
In fact, Xiao Letian could not guarantee that all of the new troops would be Saints, so his subordinates would secretly make some money for the war, such as hoarding some military supplies to trade in advance, and then making some money to earn pocket money for their brothers after victory.
would take care of all these as long as he could, because after all, earning money by relying on one's ability did not have to be compared to gaining benefits from the people.
In Xiao Letian's eyes, a soldier's adultery was equivalent to treason. This sort of sin was absolutely heinous.
Xiao Letian had said many times before, "The highest salary in all of Asia has been paid. As long as you work hard, who wouldn't live a good life in the future? "Moreover, the Chinese have not abolished polygamy. Since you have money and status, it's your freedom to marry and get married …"
"However, forcing it doesn't work. This kind of behavior can only arouse the public's curses. It can only destroy the image that we have built up with great difficulty. I can only treat this kind of rootless behavior with three words …" That was … Kill without mercy! "
No one dares to challenge the leader's bottom line, and Xiao Letian also demanded all the military officers to lead by their backs. I do not care about your family marrying eighteen young wives, but if you do this in a military uniform, then the crime must be even worse.
The rules were so harsh that they were close to that of a Puritan. It shaped the noble character of the new Chinese army, especially these officers who were self-disciplined to the point of almost being cruel.
At the luncheon, European ladies who were like butterflies or flowers all cast their curious gazes on these handsome Eastern warriors. They secretly sent out several cars of autumn water, and some bold and aggressive women even took the initiative to greet these military officers.
Especially Xiang Ying and the other military officers of the second generation, they were younger and had studied in Europe before. Their differences in language and culture were very small, so they were surrounded and surrounded by these European noblewomen.
It had to be said that Europe was still open. Those men saw that their wives and mistresses took the initiative to tease these Chinese officer, but none of them came out to stop them.
Xiao Letian looked at it coldly for a long time, but in the end, he secretly nodded his head and praised in his heart: "That's right, it's my weapon! "Polite, but definitely not excessive. The rules are extremely good. They don't seem rude, but they also maintain a faint sense of distance. You really give me face …"
Just then, Prince Edward's voice came out beside Xiao Letian: "Your subordinates seem to be a little reserved? "These are the most powerful ladies in Europe, but I don't think your subordinates care …"
Xiao Letian turned around and saw that it was Prince Edward. He raised his champagne glass and toasted to the prince, "This is the self-discipline of us Eastern people. We have different morals than European people.
"Haha …" Edward could not help but laugh. "You can't say that, right? Look at the esteemed Emperor Tongzhi, he is more open-minded than you are. His majesty's interest in women is not any less than that of us Europeans …"
When Xiao Letian saw that, he let out a sigh in his heart. This was truly something that could not be changed easily. Zai Chun was currently surrounded by four seventeen or eighteen year old European princesses, and he didn't know which royal member they belonged to.
Zai Chun's smiling face was blossomed. Not only was he teasing the four little princesses, his eyes were also darting back and forth between those familiar ladies who wore butterflies.
Xiao Letian smiled slightly, "Your majesty is still very young, with a child's temperament. A thirteen year old child is not something you can use these words to describe. There is no such free and open luncheon in Asia... "
"In Asia, there are countless ceremony parties held by various countries. Such an atmosphere is rare. It is inevitable that His Majesty would try something new for the first time …"
Naturally, Prince Edward would not argue with Xiao Letian over such a small matter. Seeing that you've been drinking all this time, are these dishes not to your liking? to have a taste of this raw Spanish ham slice. It's a very unique taste... "
From start to finish, Xiao Letian's attention had not been focused on eating, this caused the prince to feel a little hungry after reminding him. Seeing his master's eyes that were filled with delicious food, he had no way of eating.
Right at this moment, a sweet female voice sounded out from behind Xiao Letian. Fang Guan spoke in fluent English, "Everyone says that Chinese food is profound, but European food is also very particular. For example, this piece of Spanish ham in front of the Chief."
Fang Guan smiled sweetly at Prince Edward, and automatically became Xiao Letian's commentator. "The main reason why Spanish ham is so precious and delicious is because it comes from Iberia. The Iberian black hog is the happiest and most leisurely pig in the world, and hence the world's best and most expensive ham. They were raised naturally, ate wild acorns, drank mineral water, and had people running and losing weight with them on the prairie. This way the pig fat is clean and transparent... "
"Throughout the brewing process, sea salt was the only addition, neither fumigating nor using any other spices. The cured ham was left in a ventilated place and naturally dried and cooked. During this mysterious period, the inside of the ham underwent a wonderful change. As spring approached, the temperature rose, the fat of the ham began to melt, and the fragrance of the Spanish ham began to permeate the air. Like the wine brewed in oak barrels, the ripening had already begun. "The longer it is stored, the softer the ham and the thicker the aroma..."
"The top-notch Harmon comes from a small Spanish village called Jabugo, and people who love raw ham will long for it no matter what they hear... "Come and have a taste, you must be able to feel the taste of the fat melting in your mouth. Eating this kind of ham definitely won't go with the champagne, why don't you have a glass of Shirley's …"
Prince Edward's eyes immediately lit up. "Oh, beautiful angel, you're really an expert in delicious food. Your knowledge is even richer than mine …"
