I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 452
As everyone took a bite of the fried noodles one after another, the effect on Meng Chen's face became stronger.

Gently raising his arms, the disciples of the Meng family army led by Meng Shan held the wine jar and began to pour wine.

"Ahem!" Li Cunxiao took a big mouthful and then coughed twice.

Fortunately, the wine cup on the side was filled with wine, Li Cunxiao hurriedly picked up the wine cup and drank it down, which relieved a lot.

"It tastes good, but it's too dry. If there is no water, it may be difficult to swallow." After drinking a glass of wine, Li Cunxiao expressed his experience.

"What the general said is very true, but this... fried noodles are a hundred times more delicious than noodles." Liu Bowen sang a few mouthfuls, and also came to his own conclusion.

The next moment, everyone nodded in agreement. If this thing is used as dry food for the march, it is much easier to carry than the existing bread.

"Haha, not only that, if you drink some water after eating fried noodles, you won't feel hungry again soon." Meng Chen laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, is this dried meat?" Xun Yu asked suddenly, only to see a small granular object in his hand.

"Wen Ruo is careful, this is indeed jerky. It is impossible to march and fight without meat supplements, so I added a small amount of jerky to the fried noodles."

"Your Majesty, the storage time of this fried noodles..." Jia Xu opened his mouth. For Jia Xu who has escaped experience, this kind of dry food that is easy to carry is a good thing.

"I have never tried it before. It should not be difficult to preserve it for more than a month without seeing water." Meng Chen lowered his head in thought, and then gave his own judgment.

"It's so good. Although it's not as good as delicacies from mountains and seas, it tastes much better than noodles."

Jia Xu's words fell, and everyone immediately echoed. It has to be said that fried noodles are much higher than the current marching dry rations, no matter from which aspect.

"Your Majesty, can fried noodles be made from flour?" It was Wei Zheng who spoke.

Flour is made of wheat.

Although it is not a rare item in the Great Xia Empire, compared to rice, the Western Regions are more suitable for large-scale promotion.

"What Xuan Cheng said is right, two catties of flour can be made into one catty of fried noodles, and a small amount of dried meat can be roasted and fried."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately discussed it. Combined with the specific situation in the Western Regions, it is a good choice to promote fried noodles in the army.

Just imagine, if the cultivation of wheat is promoted on a large scale in the Western Regions, it will be much easier than transporting rice from the states of the Great Xia Empire.

Of course, this is not to say that food and grass will not be raised from the states and counties of the Great Xia Empire, but it can greatly relieve the pressure on logistics, thereby ensuring the supply of food and grass for the Western Expeditionary Army.

This move, no matter for the Great Xia Empire or ordinary people, has lightened a lot of burden.

"Your Majesty is wise, I admire you!" A flattery came out from everyone's mouths, and Meng Chen enjoyed it very much.

Of course, fried noodles is something that Mengchen learned from many wars in later generations.

On the surface, it is just a simple invention, but in fact it is a major military revolution.

However, this is not over.

For the overall situation of the Western Expedition, Meng Chen planned for a long time.

Afterwards, Mengchen took out two small objects.

One of them was seen by everyone present, especially when Li Cunxiao saw it, greedy eyes suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"I won't talk about the monocular. A few days ago, Deheng has mastered the manufacturing process of the lens, and now it can start manufacturing on a large scale." Meng Chen held up the monocular and said proudly.

Although there is still a big gap between the binoculars in his hand and the ones rewarded by the system, it is completely enough for the current Great Xia army.

"My preliminary plan is to equip one of the main generals of each army. If the output can keep up, we can continue to expand the scope of equipment."

After Meng Chen's voice fell, Li Cunxiao quickly took up his position, then bowed thinking about Meng Chen and said: "My lord, I thank Your Majesty for the command of the whole army."

"Hahahaha!" The rest of the people laughed. Although Li Cunxiao's move was a bit extreme, the large-scale equipment of monoculars is definitely a good thing for the Great Xia Imperial Army.

"Okay, let's look at this little thing again. I named it Compass. Since the Western Regions have many terrains such as neighbors, deserts, and grasslands, and if you are not familiar with the terrain, it is easy to lose your way. As for getting lost."

"Your Majesty, is this compass similar to Sinan's function?" Xun Yu spoke first, and guessed the general idea just by hearing the name.

"That's right, but the guide is smaller and easier to carry." Meng Chen nodded, and then opened the small box in his hand, which opened everyone's eyes.

"In the wooden box, the big needle always points to the south, while the small needle on the other end points to the north." Meng Chen briefly introduced, and no matter how he shakes it, the big needle in the wooden box always points in one direction .

"Hiss!" Li Cunxiao gasped.

When fighting the Huns and Xianbei, the army always carried one or two guides, even if it was so, it sometimes went in the wrong direction.

Now that I have a compass, let’s not talk about whether I’m going the wrong way or not, at least the direction will not be wrong!
Back then, when the Han army conquered the Xiongnu, some troops often missed the opportunity because they marched in the wrong direction, or fell into the siege of the Huns.

Even Li Guang, the parachutist, sometimes lost his way leading the army.

"Your Majesty is right. There are many Gobi, deserts, and grasslands in the Western Regions. If you don't have a familiar guide, you will easily lose your way." Jia Xu added.

He has been to the Western Regions before, so he has a deep understanding of getting lost. Now that he has this compass, the problem of getting lost can be easily solved.

"About the compass, I intend to deploy it to the scout squad, but it must not fall into the hands of the enemy easily." When Meng Chen said this, the first half of the sentence was still smiling, but the second half of the sentence was full of murderous intent .

In other words, the compass of the scouting team had to be destroyed at the last moment.

Fried noodles, binoculars, and a compass, the installation of these three things will definitely increase the combat power of the Great Xia Imperial Army.

In particular, if firearms are installed on a large scale in the future, Meng Chen believes that his army will be invincible wherever it goes.

"Okay, these things will start to be installed soon, brother Cunxiao, don't be greedy anymore."

Meng Chen made a joke about Li Cunxiao, which immediately eased the atmosphere a lot, but what he said next shocked the expressions of the five people present.

"The last thing, the Great Xia Empire will never make peace. No matter when it comes, this national policy must never be forgotten."

"Peace bought with a woman is not real peace. The king dies in Sheji, and the emperor of the Great Xia Empire must guard the gates of the country and never make peace!"
