"The ninth level of emperor left the dust, and the willows are still ruthless.

Now that it is not related to the affairs of concubines, I know that I have let down the people of Mawei.”

Wei Zhuang's "A Beginning of Spring"

——I am the dividing line—

According to the customs of this era, the breakfast food after getting up again in the New Year is Wuxin Pan, with Tusu wine and gummy oats.

The Wuxin plate is a cold dish of five kinds of spicy vegetables. "The fivexin plates cause the five internal organs to be qi, namely onion, garlic, leek, brassica, and coriander", which is now: onion, garlic, leek, mustard green, and coriander. Su (Shi) foodie once said: I feel the east wind is cold and cold, and I try the spring plate of Artemisia annua and yellow leek.

Tusu wine is said to be the invention of Hua Tuo, a famous doctor at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was made of Chinese medicines such as rhubarb, atractylodes, cinnamon twigs, windbreak, pepper, aconite, aconite, and aconite. So, with the five kinds of spicy dishes, the taste of it is really touching.

Soon, the last bit of sleepiness and sleepiness that remained was gone without a trace. In contrast, the more normal one was the gummy tooth. The so-called "sauce" is filtered by steamed malt and then boiled into concentrated sugar. In addition to being a little turbid, it is exactly the same as the common maltose during the Chinese New Year in later generations.

This is also the only time when most ordinary families can taste a little sweet taste throughout the year. Although guaya is a popular food, they will still play the corresponding tricks above the wealthy families with conditions;

For example, heat it and pour it on the dried fruit piles of baked green beans, melon seeds, raw kernels, almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and other dried fruits, and then put it outdoors to freeze it into different flavors of "Oaoshan". Then knock it with a small hammer to eat.

Or take it with chyme (coarse cream) and cook it together to make green paste porridge. Or spread it on the freshly baked steamed cake or cooked cake, sprinkle a layer of chopped dried fruit and cheese, and grab it to eat "oi cake".

In this era, although Wang Xuance had long beaten Aronasun, a Brahmin "overlord" in Northern and Central India, and tied them back to offer to Taimiao, the local "stone honey" (land sugar) method and craftsmen.

However, it is limited to the areas in Lingnan and Jiannan that are suitable for planting sugarcane, and have been a rare and precious tribute for hundreds of years. Now, under the rule of the Taiping Army, it is finally expanding its planting and promoting it to Annan, Hunan, Jingnan, Jiangxi and other places, becoming a major flagship product for external profits.

Although there is no way to sell it all over the street like later generations, it can at least be treated as the soldiers and their relatives of the army. During wartime and high-intensity service, one or two taels of energy will be distributed every day to refresh the spirit and fill the hunger; three or five kilograms of benefits will be given during festivals and festivals.

Of course, at the same time, the other end of the world is on the European continent in the early Middle Ages. Most village farmers and territorial serfs don’t know what the sweetness is. Because the little natural honey produced in the forest is also a luxury exclusive to the nobles and senior priests.

Fortunately, after eating these symbolic appetizing and premature foods, the stomach and taste functions finally woke up completely, and then the late lunch meal was also placed on the table.

First, there is a Jiugong Cauldron like a copper hotpot. Different grids contain chicken, duck, geese, rabbit, fish, shrimp, crab, clam, pig, cattle, sheep, deer, and other soup ingredients. In the tumbling large round grid in the middle, there are white soup made from various dried mushrooms and sea vegetables, used to cleanse and clean the taste.

Then there are crispy moxibustion (pig, cattle and sheep) three tendons, rolled broth made of egg white and shrimp, white scallion balls with bamboo shoots, mushrooms and meat paste; steamed egg rolls; stir-fried eels with silver shreds, lycao mud snails, dried sugar-torch crabs...

The last staple food was a sweet steamed soup made of squash bean paste with squash bean paste. There were many broken nuts and candied sugar on it, which looked very delicious.

Unfortunately, Zhou Huaian can only benefit from it alone here. Because the other women were either sleepy and tired and couldn't even lift a little finger; they were just playing with throwing pots, throwing dices, throwing dices, guessing poems, making money (guessing faces), and shooting ducks was crazy, and they were still sleeping.

The Chief Yu Hou, who was on duty, also brought a group of corresponding Guan Yu Hou, the military, consultant, and the heads of the staff team, and walked in without looking sideways and reported the routine official business and military situations according to the importance level.

Now Zhou Huaian, who can basically consume energy storage and trace amounts of adrenaline to maintain a focus on thinking and responses in a synchronous manner, even noticed that the upper limit of the energy bar that had not moved for a long time in his vision increased a little more. The energy reserves and comprehensive physical activity of the appendages have decreased.

"Enjoy is really easy to degenerate people..."

He couldn't help but sigh that he had signed his increasingly cursive fonts on an execution order.

This is the last large mountain shed stronghold found and captured in the Funiu Mountains separated from the eastern Henan Plain - Lingbao Fort. Therefore, the prisoners and spoils in it are quite rich.

Not only were there remnants of the remnants of the mountain villages and villages and villages, but there were also many remnants of the powerful families who merged with them on the plains. They even arrested more than a dozen court officials from Henan, with different missions or vassal states.

There are also thick stacks of appointments and complaints from various generals, miscellaneous generals, governors, military envoys, and stern envoys, as well as some of the decaying old and new goods accumulated over the years.

But what is surprising is that there is also a pacifier from the Great Qi court of Guanzhong. This is a bit incredible, but it is not surprising. Under the long-term rule of the rebel army, there have always been many more and more good things and uneven good things.

Among the last two thousand prisoners, a small percentage of them were judged to have no value for subsequent transformation and needed to be executed. The reason is simple, because they need to be responsible for the elderly, weak, women and children who quickly disappeared from the city.

Although it is said that many of them were crying and shouting, willing to continue to work for the Taiping Army with past experience and abilities to seek redemption; but now the Taiping Army has more choices of good families with relatively excellent loyalty and reliability, and they are not allowed to use them, who can only lead beasts and cannibals.

Compared with the batch execution order on the first day of the New Year, which only means cold numbers, the news from Henan from Luyang Pass made people feel better.

First, Zhu Zhen, the envoy sent by Zhu Laosan to greet him, had arrived in Xiangzhou before the end of the year. He also brought a large number of seized and spoils during winter battles in Henan, including more than a thousand northern war horses, all of which were obtained from the warring Wei Bo army, including many Yanshan horses from Youzhou.

After repelling the Wei Bo army in Huazhou, he now has two pieces of land in a large (Chenzhou and Huazhou) and a small (Heyang Nanguan), and has initially gained a foothold in Henan.

Then, the contact between Cao Xiang, who is now the descendant of the Tianping Army, also opened up a special channel before the New Year; set off from Yuncheng, Yunzhou, and headed south to Juye County, along the traditional canal transport route of Wuzhang River, and headed west through the newly recovered Caozhou, and arrived in Chenzhou, the territory controlled by Zhu Laosanxin;

Then, by land, Wenchengzha, in the Wei-Ku Mountain, which is also under the control of the rebel army, you can reach Ciqiu County, Tangzhou, on the edge of the Taiping Army. A idle hand arranged in the early years has now greatly improved the surrounding situation of the Taiping Army with subsequent promotion and investment.

Although the Tianping Town owned by Cao Xiang seemed to be weaker than the emerging Zhu Laosan, after defeating Wei Bo's army and recapturing the majority of the Tianping Jiedushi system, he still sent corresponding thank-you gifts and trading items through this channel, including the frame and honor guard he seized from Wei Bo's Jiedushi Han Jian.

But more importantly, as long as these two forces that are relatively friendly and have certain mutually beneficial and dependent, they can continue to maintain in Henan/Kanto; the Taiping Army will not be afraid of military pressure and threats from the Kanto region in a short period of time.

In this way, as long as the Taiping Army exports some aid materials and equipment, it can concentrate resources and continue to sort out internal and silently gather strength, and just maintain the front lines between Yuzhou, Yangzhou and Runzhou, and the east and west ends.

Then there was the news that Wang Xingkong sent from Wuguan, and the types and quality of the goods that transited from Shangluo Road had changed greatly. The population that fled south seemed to have sharply decreased due to obstruction and interception by local rebels; it was even said that the outflow of scholars and craftsmen had begun to be restricted in Chang'an City.

Does this mean that there were some changes and contradictions within the Great Qi court led by Huang Chao, which even affected their attitude towards the Taiping Army? Unfortunately, Gao Yu's management and layout in Chang'an City were too short and he was unable to obtain something deeper.

——I am the dividing line—

In Chang'an City, Gao Yu, the representative of the plenipotentiary of the Taiping Grand Commander, also embarked on the road to the banquet among the chariots and horses that responded. However, under his unrestrained expression, he felt a little anxious and confused.

Because during this period, he suddenly found that he was subject to strict surveillance and disguised restrictions. The original atmosphere and environment that were as close as fish in water seemed to tighten up suddenly.

These people who were responsible for monitoring and restricting him even appeared in front of him without any restraint and swaggered. In the secret, several groups of people from different origins were acting at the same time.

Therefore, except for routine greetings, presentations and open activities, he could hardly send people to contact and do more things secretly. With such thoughts, he arrived at Huiyuan Tower on the bank of Qujiang River.

At this time, a group of unkempt beggars flocked from the left to dry and bare flower trees, suddenly surrounded the white copper-edged vermilion carriage that Gao Yu held down, and tried hard to slap the wall of the box to ask for it.

Although they were soon dispelled by the escorted soldiers, they still left many indecent black handwriting around the carriage; and Gao Yu could only wave his sleeves with resentment and helplessness, climbing the brightly lit high building, but he felt relieved in his heart.

Then, among the beggars who were dispersing birds and beasts, Pan, a former member of the boy camp from Shannan, also held the newly released paper ball in his dirt palms. Soon after, he appeared in front of a ditches near the city wall.

He walked in carefully along the dry and frozen channel. Not long after, he dragged the rope from the frozen drainage ditch and finally dragged out a bamboo joint covered with sludge along one of the three or five groups of scavengers along the city wall.
