The fields in winter are very desolate.
Especially on an early morning like this.
Fu Xiaoguan took Bei Wangchuan and Ning Siyan out of the camp early in the morning because eating too much canned food was really disgusting.
So he wanted to hunt some game, such as goats... There were no mountains here, so he would see if there were any other small animals.
Then they met a herd of bison, and one of the young bison was unlucky and had its neck shot through by Bei Wangchuan's arrow.
The herd of bison fled in panic. Ning Siyan carried the little bison weighing about two hundred pounds, and the three of them returned to the camp.
Liu Jin lit a bonfire outside the big tent. Ning Siyan found a small lake, cleaned the little bison and brought it over.
“I like this kind of life.”
As Fu Xiaoguan cut the beef with Ning Siyan's broadsword, he said, "Game is something worth cherishing, because in a thousand years, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat it anymore."
Ning Siyan opened her mouth in astonishment, "Extinct?"
"Not really, it's just that it's become rarer and more precious than people."
Ning Siyan couldn't understand it, and neither could Yun Xiyan, who was fiddling with the seasoning. He casually asked, "Do you know what will happen a thousand years from now?"
"Hehe, I'm the Prophet Emperor of Daxia! Okay, just fry it like this, Liu Jin. Remember, medium rare is enough."
Cattle are still a protected species in Daxia, as farming still relies on cattle. Fu Xiaoguan seemed to have thought of something and said to Yun Xiyan, "When we go back next year, we must encourage those farmers to raise cattle."
“If cattle are not allowed to eat, they won’t be willing to raise more.”
"I know, so this policy should be changed next year. Beef is much better than pork. People need to be able to eat beef. Remember this."
Yun Xiyan raised his head and looked at Fu Xiaoguan with a chuckle, "That's great! Once this policy is relaxed, the number of cattle in Daxia will increase exponentially."
When Fu Xiaoguan heard this, he suddenly remembered the extremely famous Wagyu beef in his previous life.
"Liu Jin, remember this and remind me when you get back. There's a kind of cattle in the Far North Road... at Gushuimen. They have black hair and their meat is snowflake-like. This is the best beef in the world. We should breed them vigorously or introduce them to the mainland of Daxia."
"..." Liu Jin was confused, "I'll remember this!"
"By the way, Xiyan, how are our Daxia's fragrant pigs doing now?"
"Mr. Peng Fang, the Minister of Agriculture, has bred three generations of fragrant pigs, which can grow to over 200 kilograms after a full year of breeding. However... Your Majesty, the sheer number of these pigs being raised has caused the price of pork to drop to only eight cents per kilogram. This is too cheap and hurting farmers."
"This is only the case when canneries buy a lot of pigs. Otherwise, if all the pigs from breeders and farmers were sold on the market, I'm afraid there would be no profit at all."
Fu Xiaoguan had thought about this situation a long time ago, but later forgot about it because he was busy with other things.
Pork can be exported in large quantities, but there are no freezers in this world... As for freezers, Daxia has no shortage of saltpeter, so making ice is extremely easy. If you forget this, it turns out that humans are not omnipotent.
"Once the railway is built and the land railway network is completed, Daxia pork can be exported to other countries."
“The journey takes too long.”
"It's okay, I have a way to keep it fresh."
Yun Xiyan looked up at Fu Xiaoguan again. Since this gentleman said there was a way to keep it fresh, there must be a way. Although he was curious, he did not ask any more questions.
The steak was delicious, but the bison meat was a bit tough.
After a big meal, the troops set off again.
The team did not move very fast because Fu Xiaoguan was not in a hurry.
On the way, they met the soldier who escorted Boll back, and learned that Tang Qianjun's troops had killed two thousand enemies and were rushing towards Philip's base camp.
Fu Xiaoguan called his translator Henry and, with a smile on his face, invited Boll to get on his carriage.
"Ah, the arm is shot and bleeding. Come, tell me more about the country around Frankie."
…
…
Just as the sun was rising, just when the old emperor of Shangluo thought his country would be destroyed today, Tang Qianjun appeared outside the camp of Philip's army with two thousand soldiers.
"Everyone, rest where you are. I'll give you an incense stick's time to have breakfast. Later... we're going to capture Archduke Philip alive!"
A group of people sat at the back of the hillside, quietly eating canned food and drinking water. Their faces showed some fatigue, but they were still full of energy.
Tang Qianjun opened a can of food and ate while saying, "After this battle is over, we will wait for His Majesty's arrival in the enemy's tent. The rest of the matter will be left to Commander He. Everyone, have a good rest."
"We may have to stay here for a while. This place seems quite poor, and there probably won't be anything good to eat. We can go hunting and get some wild game to satisfy our cravings."
"Chief of Staff, are you really not going to rob this guy from Shangluo?"
"Captain Fang, what the hell are you thinking? Don't let that He Sandao guy lead you astray. His Majesty is here to do business with them!"
Fang Shizhang laughed broadly, "How about...we go into the city and see where the vault is?"
Tang Qianjun was completely upset: "He Sandao gave you the order? You want him to be put in solitary confinement again?!"
Fang Shizhang shut up and muttered, "But I'm also afraid that Commander He will give me a hard time!"
"Don't worry, there will be plenty for you to grab when the time comes. Okay, everyone has it. Check your weapons and prepare for battle!"
Archduke Philip rubbed his red eyes and stretched lazily. He decided not to attack Shangluo City today and just go to sleep.
That delicate girl from Ryukyu might be feeling lazy right now, so why not... try again?
Ever since he lost in the Far North Dao waters, he suddenly found that he was no longer able to do it. He didn't know what went wrong, which made him very panicked.
At this moment, he suddenly felt interested and it seemed that everything was possible. He was immediately happy and was about to walk into the inner tent when he heard the sound of dense gunfire, "bang bang bang..."
He was suddenly shocked. The thing that just worked was not working again!
He turned and walked quickly out of the tent. "What happened?"
"Your Excellency, the Grand Duke, the enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"
Where the hell did this enemy come from?
"Meet the enemy! All soldiers, quickly meet the enemy!"
The gunshots were getting louder, which meant they were getting closer.
Then he heard wailing, and then he saw a group of warriors wearing bright armor appear in his sight - he had seen such armor before, in the Far East waters, the soldiers on the enemy ships were wearing exactly the same armor!
Soldiers from the Eastern Divine Kingdom? !
Philip gasped, his spirits trembling. How did they get here?
The battle was still short.
Six thousand Franky soldiers collapsed like chickens and dogs in front of two thousand Marines.
Tang Qianjun took the lead, stepping on the corpses and flesh on the ground, holding a Mauser rifle, and stood in front of Philip like a god of death.
