Chapter 176 Domon Collection [Please Collect]

The monk Jingkong, whose hair had grown to a finger-long length, walked past a group of prisoners of war with a whip in his hand. He was wearing a red vest that symbolized the mine management staff, and a steel knife hung on his waist.

The monk couldn't stand the vegetables, radishes, and boiled tofu day after day, but he didn't dare to join the army. In Jingkong's eyes, if he joined the army, he would be completely on the black road and it would be difficult to turn back, so Jingkong chose to stay in the mine as a supervisor.

Of the monks who were captured with him at the beginning, only two made the same choice as Jingkong, and the rest all put on red military uniforms and became a glorious Chen family army armored soldier. According to the news they sent back, the monks who were previously assigned to another mine also chose to surrender, and all the monks chose to enter the armored camp, and three of them were selected to join the tank camp.

Jingkong didn't envy the good treatment of those people. He didn't have to worry about food and drink in the mine now, and he also learned to smoke and read newspapers. The latter, like cigarettes, are all new things created by the General's Mansion. Now the General's Mansion publishes three newspapers in total: Zhongyuan Daily, which is the first newspaper of the General's Mansion and the flagship product. The General's Mansion's direct agencies and local departments have a certain share. There are policies that the General's Mansion has been promoting in a high-profile manner, as well as "Ten Days of Yangzhou", "Yangzhou City Defense Records", "Jiading Yiyou Chronicles", "Jiang Bian Records", "Jiading Massacre Records" and so on, which expose the Qing Dynasty's past. I don't know where the Chen family found these things. In addition, there are some pornographic articles in the newspaper, mainly compiling emperors such as Wild Boar Skin, Huang Taiji, Shunzhi, Kang Mazi, and the Nagada affairs of Xiaozhuang and Dorgon.

The circulation of "Zhongyuan Daily" can exceed 3,000 copies. It is a daily publication. Jingkong has now developed the habit of reading newspapers.

Then there is "Military Newspaper", which is the mouthpiece of the military of the Fu Han General's Mansion. It is a weekly publication, published once every ten days, mainly to publicize the glorious achievements of the Chen family army. There are also the treatment of soldiers after joining the army, the treatment of military dependents, and various rewards in the army. The silver dollars are very attractive;

Finally, there is the "Fa Bao". If the military newspaper corresponds to the Chen family army, the Fa Bao corresponds to the court of the Fu Han General's Mansion.

Before the establishment of the General's Mansion, the Chen family clearly separated the judicial power from the government. After reading the "Fa Bao" these days, Master Jingkong also understood what judicial power is. From his personal point of view, the Chen family did a very good and beautiful move. There are so many confused officials in the world who have judged so many confused cases. Those officials can't understand the "Da Qing Law" and ask for criminal lawyers one by one. In this case, just don't let them manage it.

The "Fa Bao" mainly promotes the "Law" launched by the General's Mansion, as well as the trial and sentencing of some representative cases. Master Jingkong also likes to read this. Among the three newspapers, he reads the "Military Newspaper" the least. Anyway, if something big happens, the "Zhongyuan Daily" will definitely publish it. He will not join the army, so it is best not to read the "Military Newspaper" to avoid being tempted.

There is a Buddha statue in his room, and even someone from the mine's senior management found him and asked him to build a temple next to the mine. Jingkong could have taken the salary from the mine while eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha in the monk temple, but he had to play some role, such as resolving the reluctance and resentment of some captives. He refused directly, saying that he had broken the precepts and became a monk. How could he, who was just a martial monk, be the abbot of a temple?

In the final analysis, Jingkong did not think that the Chen family could become a great man. Although he was very fond of some measures and practices of the Chen family army, he still did not think that the Fu Han General Mansion could really restore the Han Dynasty. The army of Shaanxi has overwhelmed Luoyang again, and the battle of Pengpo Town has started. Jingkong felt that the hope of the Chen family was really slim. He still held the idea of ​​temporarily settling down and escaping when necessary, and his low position and light body would not attract too much attention. Didn't you see that he even kept his hair?

...

A small hill north of Tumenji. The light smoke drifted away with the wind. On the top of the mountain stood a small fortress with a red military flag fluttering in the wind. This is one of the hundreds of Chenjiajun checkpoints in the Funiu Mountain area. The soldiers inside are replaced every ten days, and the sources of soldiers are different. Regular army, logistics army and Boy Scouts, any one of the three can be chosen.

Now the guard force on this hilltop is a squad of Boy Scouts. Pan Mantun is performing his job as a cook. There are three iron pots of different sizes in front of him. The largest one is a cold pot, with no fire underneath and boiling water inside; the middle one is bubbling with boiling water. The dishes in the army should not be said to be fried, but should be described as stewed; the last pot is steaming mixed grain rice, sorghum, millet, wheat, black beans, brown rice and rice mixed together.

Brown rice is the caryopsis of rice after the outer protective cortex of rice husk is removed, and the inner protective cortex (pericarp, seed coat, and nucellar layer) of rice grains are intact. Because the inner protective cortex contains more crude fiber, bran wax, etc., it has a rougher taste and a tight texture. It takes more time to cook, but it has a significant weight loss effect. Chen Ming bought this thing specifically when he was losing weight in his previous life and knows it very well. Compared with ordinary refined white rice, brown rice is richer in vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, and is regarded as a green and healthy food in the 21st century. It has a significant effect on beriberi in particular.

The Japanese dwarfs who had just started their business were one of the most vicious enemies faced by the Japanese army, whether in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 or in the fight with the Russian old Maozi in the Northeast, because of the reduction in personnel and weakened combat effectiveness due to beriberi.

The Japanese soldiers got beriberi because of the ** rice. Chen's army is now well-supplied with food and materials, but they must not repeat the Japanese soldiers' mistakes and get "spoiled".

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat." After tasting the rice, which was well steamed, Pan Mantun picked up the spoon and knocked on the edge of the pot.

Today's dish is green vegetables and potatoes stewed with salted fish. The team that will replace the shift will arrive tomorrow, and Pan Mantun has no need to save the reserves in his hands. When he returns to the camp, the food for their Boy Scouts will be better than now.

It has only been five months since Pan Mantun entered the Boy Camp. He has grown an inch taller and gained 23 kilograms in weight. He is strong all over. If he had this physique when he was in the Boy Camp, he would never have ended up as a cook.

There are only eight people in a squad of ten people, including Pan Mantun, who come to eat. There are always two sentries at the top of the fortress.

There was no Pan Mancang in this stronghold. Pan Mantun's elder brother was already a platoon leader of the Boy Scouts. He led the first squad to another stronghold dozens of miles away. When the Chen family army began to be short of troops on the battlefield and when the number of prisoners of war in the mine increased, these scouts who came out of the Boy Camp were able to fulfill their obligations and had the strength to contribute to the short-handed Chen family army.

There was not a single piece of salted fish in Pan Mantun's rice bowl. He exchanged his four pieces of salted fish for a salted egg. This little guy who was born with a miserable life had a big master's mouth. After only a few months of full meals, he began to be picky about food and could not eat salted fish and salted meat...
