The Jin Yiwei were extremely efficient. After about ten minutes, the hall was quickly decorated.
Directly in front is a huge map.
There are a few more small tables in the hall, with four people per table.
In front of each general was a bowl of steaming food and a wine flask.
General Maude looked down at the food in the bowl with great confusion.
This food...seems a bit too simple, completely inconsistent with Emperor Dajing's warm reception...
...
Li Yuanzhao sat at the front seat, waiting for Fang Zhengyi to speak.
The two of them had already discussed it when they came, and he would play a ceremonial role.
The rest of the performance is left to Lao Fang.
Seeing that everything was ready, Fang Zheng walked up to everyone and said with a smile: "You are visiting the Holy City today and haven't had time to prepare yet, so the food here is a bit shabby. Please don't be surprised."
"My emperor is diligent and frugal, and he is as simple as possible when it comes to food. When he goes on an expedition, he lives and eats with the soldiers, so the food is also like this."
"However, these meals prepared now are not ordinary food! These are the daily breakfast rations used by our soldiers who go to sea in Dajing. You are all warriors in the army. I guess you all have different opinions on military rations. You might as well try it today. You can try our military rations from Dajing and make some suggestions as an exchange."
"Please use it now." Fang Zheng raised his hand and asked.
I see! This is Dajing’s military ration. This design is quite interesting.
The generals were very surprised.
Everyone has eaten and met the master before, so there is no shortage of that meal.
Da Jing is actually willing to take the initiative to show the military rations to everyone, which is much more valuable than a big meal.
And the people in Dajing are really sincere...
General Maude picked up the food in his bowl with a smile on his face.
After taking a look, he asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, Mr. Hou, what exactly is this food? It looks like noodles. Why is it curved?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "That's a good question. This is my Dajing specialty, instant noodles."
"The noodles can be stored for a long time after being fried, and they will take on this curved shape after being boiled. You can take a look and see that there are other things in the bowl."
General Maude, like the others, picked up his fork and rummaged the bottom of the bowl twice.
Turn out a few meatballs and an egg that seemed to have been fried in oil.
Fang Zhengyi's voice sounded again: "This is what our Dajing soldiers eat when they wake up in the morning, meatballs, instant noodles, and poached eggs."
Fang Zhengyi didn't lie about this.
This meal rich in fat, protein, and carbohydrates is really military food.
However, only Two Thousand Jin Yiwei are eligible to enjoy this luxurious combination.
These two thousand people are the strongest special forces in Dajing, and they need to carry guns and cannons on the battlefield for a long time.
Nutrition is something that cannot be neglected.
As for how to keep poached eggs fresh without a refrigeration device... Mr. Fang was as concerned about preparing military rations as it was more convenient than weapons.
A series of oil-immersed cans have been specially developed to facilitate long-distance transportation.
...
Meatball instant noodles and poached eggs? This thing sounds fresh.
Maude looked at the food in the bowl again, lowered her head and took a bite.
As soon as the noodles enter your mouth, a salty flavor explodes in your mouth, mixed with the oily and meaty aroma.
Taking another bite of the poached eggs, the taste buds were shocked again as soon as the poached eggs were soaked in oil and water.
Maude couldn't help but show horror in her eyes.
This bowl of noodles looks ordinary, but it contains a lot of oil and salt. This kind of food is perfect for replenishing the strength of soldiers!
The people of Dajing actually provided such luxury to the soldiers?
No wonder... no wonder those soldiers are so strong.
Da Jing is really rich! This is what I had for breakfast, and then...
"Marquis Jianye, can I ask what your army's rations will be for the rest of the time? Is it all meatballs, instant noodles, and poached eggs?" Mod asked loudly.
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "Otherwise, breakfast has always been the most sumptuous meal for our army after dinner. It is to wake up the fighting spirit and increase energy in the morning. The lunch meal is simpler, just a bowl of clear soup."
"What we have for dinner is..."
The generals were stunned.
That's right, if you eat so hard every time, how much will Dajing's military expenditure be!
But even so, the standard of food is far beyond that of the country where I live...
Everyone began to taste the military rations carefully, but some people showed expressions of difficulty swallowing, obviously not used to Da Jing's taste.
Fang Zheng observed for a moment and asked: "Is there anything you are not used to eating? If so, you might as well say it directly. After all, the soil and water support the people."
"Everyone here is a hero. You're welcome. I have some important things to say next. I must not let everyone get distracted by hunger."
As soon as he finished speaking, one person immediately raised his hand and said: "Jianyehou, I can't get used to it."
"Okay! Come here, prepare some local food for the general." Fang Zheng said, "The rest of you will eat first and listen to me."
"You must still have doubts in your mind as to why I, Da Jing, suddenly led my troops to visit the West, and whether this move will pose a threat to other countries. Today, I can give you a definite answer!"
Fang Zheng said in a sonorous voice: "Dajing is in the west, and it has always come here only to seek peace and cooperation. Corruption under the old church has eroded the imperial power of various countries, and treats ordinary people as cattle and sheep. I, Dajing, are originally a country in the East, and I do not want to I only want to meddle in local affairs and only want to do business.”
"However, God did not fulfill our wishes. The old church and the Pope forced us to forcibly give up profits and intervened in our trade with other countries. Dajing repeatedly tolerated concessions, but did not expect that the other party slandered and sent troops to attack Dajing's friendly country Feika. Chai. When public dissatisfaction arose, Pope Sorje was loyal to the doctrinal classics, followed the will of God and people's hearts, and united with the great scenery to save the Holy City from hanging upside down, which led to today's situation."
The generals at the table nodded frequently after listening to the translation.
What Marquis Jianye said was right, and the information they learned was exactly the same.
The people of Dajing have always been very rule-abiding and have never acted arrogantly in any country relying on their national strength.
Fang Zheng sighed with a sigh: "Since the Holy City was captured, the old and new churches have been acting independently. I thought that a stable situation had been formed, and the future was not far away. But I didn't expect that we found a shocking piece of information three years ago!"
"The pope who originally fled the Holy City has been captured by Emperor Sangak. The six major dioceses are controlled by the church in the name of the church, but in fact they are controlled by Sangak! And the emperor of Sangak is me. Many years ago, the rebellion failed and he went into exile. The prince!"
What!
The six major dioceses are not under the authority of the Pope! And became the puppet of Da Jing’s rebel king?
Everyone will be in an uproar!
"Everyone should know that the church has a weapon called Divine Punishment. If I remember correctly, General Maude should have fought against me, Da Jing. He is the only one here who has seen both sides using the same weapon. General."
"General Maude can think about it, did this so-called divine punishment weapon appear in the hands of the church without warning? And the power of my Dajing's weapon is far more powerful than the divine punishment weapon? This is enough to show that this weapon is It comes from my great scenery!”
General Maude nodded cautiously.
The weapon of divine punishment suddenly appeared, and Da Jing also mastered it and it was far better than the church's. This had always been a huge mystery in his mind.
If God's Punishment Weapon originated from Da Jing.
So... it makes sense. The long-standing doubt in his mind finally had a reasonable explanation today.
"This man is extremely ambitious and has a strong desire for power. In order to annex the world, he is willing to stir up trouble and blood in the world. After defecting to the West, he still harbors delusions and attempts to make a comeback,"
"So, we are bringing troops here this time, firstly, to avenge the country's humiliation and clear out the rebellion! Secondly, to maintain peace in the Western Continent, to coexist and prosper with other countries, and to restore clarity to the world!"
