On December 14, Hongwu Year [-], the main force of the Ming army led by Fu Youde took advantage of the fog and rushed all the way, and caught Liang Wang's troops who thought that the Ming army would rectify and rest after a long-distance attack were caught off guard.

The defensive general Darima sent by the King of Liang led the Yuan army with [-] elite soldiers and [-] Tu soldiers. He was waiting for work at leisure, and with the advantage of defense, he would not have collapsed so quickly. However, the Yuan army stationed in Yunnan It is no longer the Mongolian cavalry that dominated most of the Eurasian continent more than a hundred years ago.

Their armor is as sharp as before, but their willpower and fighting spirit have long been corrupted by the luxurious and comfortable noble life, not to mention the physique and courage of the warriors.

Therefore, when they saw the Ming army who suddenly appeared in the thick fog and was already preparing to cross the river, they were terrified.

In a panic, the Yuan army immediately mobilized all its troops to guard the south bank of the Baishi River, trying to prevent the Ming army from crossing the river. Unexpectedly, the purpose of the Ming army was not to cross the river. Carrying tools from the downstream, crossing the Baishi River and detouring to the rear of the Yuan army.

When the Yuan army was in chaos, this team of no more than 20 people clamored loudly behind the Yuan army. Everyone waved flags and trees, blew trumpets and drums, and raised dust to show that the Yuan army was under siege. .

This kind of trick would hardly work against the disciplined troops of the upper army, but it was enough for the Yuan army. The 10 or so Tu troops fled immediately when they saw the situation was not good. Their emotions drove the regular army of the Yuan army, Soon, the panic-stricken [-]-yuan army was in disarray, and was no longer able to stop the Ming army from crossing the river.

When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, one side is as powerful as a rainbow, and the other side is in chaos. Before the war even started, the balance has tilted.

In this battle, except for more than 2 people who were captured, King Liang's army was almost completely wiped out, and Ming Dynasty occupied Qujing, the throat of the southeast of Kunming, with an absolutely strong posture.

The surrounding Tu people heard the news and surrendered, and sent rice, grain and horses to express their loyalty. Daming reciprocated, releasing the captives on the spot as a show of friendship.

On December [-]th, Fu Youde's army was divided into two groups. Lan Yu and Mu Ying, two deputy generals who conquered the south, led the troops to the west and pointed their swords at Kunming. Flank, Usak three days later.

Since then, all the strongholds of the Yuan army in the east of Kunming have been lost. When the king of Yuan Liang learned that both Qujing and Usa had fallen, he fled westward with his family members. The confidant officials thanked the country with death.

Five days later, Lan Yu and Mu Ying led the army to approach Kunming. Prime Minister Yuan You led all his officials and Liang Wang Jin Yin to surrender to the Ming army thirty miles outside Kunming.

On December 24, the army actually occupied Kunming.

From the beginning of September when the large army went out to the surrender of the remnant Yuan forces, it was only March.

After the warmest New Year in Kunming, the Southern Army of the Ming Dynasty did not stop their journey westward.

There are three forces entrenched in Yunnan, one is the remnant Yuan forces that have been wiped out, the other is the local Tu nationality that has existed since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the third is the Duan family, descendants of the Dali Kingdom.

Duan Ming, the general manager of the Duan family, saw that the Ming army was eyeing Dali after they captured Kunming, and then he submitted a letter, proposing that he would be willing to surrender to Daming like the previous dynasty and become a vassal state of Daming. After being rejected, he was very angry. It is warm, and the flowers in Dali are in full bloom.

Xu Shi relied on the weather and gradually leaned towards himself, thinking that the gradually warming climate, the re-dense jungle and the miasma that began to form could make the Ming army return without success just like their old predecessors, the "Red Turban Army". The No. 12 acting general manager of Dali issued an angry letter, and his words seemed to look down on the world by relying on the changes in Dali's climate and environment.

He even uttered the warning that he would rather be a ghost of the Central Plains and Mo Zuo the soul of the borderlands. Such rampant words naturally angered the South Conquest Army.

But after thinking about it, everyone thinks that there should be no one in this world who is so overwhelmed. Could it be a trick?

Because of this consideration, the Ming army suppressed their emotions and sent out scouts Haosheng to collect some information before they left the camp in February.

23 days later, the city of Dali was broken.

However, Duan Ming didn't see all this. Not long after issuing the provocative document, he withdrew from the stage of history.

Since the two children are still young, his uncle Duan is in charge of the current management from generation to generation.

Unlike his elder brother, Duan Shi can be regarded as a peacemaker, but history has not given him more time to play.

The 310 eight members of Liang Wang’s family, Duan Shi and Duan Ming’s two sons were sent to Nanjing as family members of the defeated to wait for Zhu Yuanzhang’s release. The Ming army who stayed in Yunnan was not idle either. They needed to hurry up and organize and investigate. local conditions.

The management methods of the Yuan government are too extensive. Even the internal affairs of Kunming, where its capital is located, are in a mess. It is not easy for officials to protect each other. forces, and even colluded with the Tu people, colluded with foreign countries, and so on.

The land deed and household registration of an acre of land in Kunming alone are all messed up, not to mention the whole province.

Fu Youde pulled out all the forces of King Liang and sent them to Nanjing before. This is also a factor. King Liang’s family members are like lush aquatic plants covering the Dianchi Lake. If they are not cleared away, it is impossible to see whether there is a jumble of fish and dragons underwater or a nest of snakes and rats. .

As for sending hundreds of people to Nanjing together, will the emperor have a headache... Cough, what does that have to do with Old Fu.

Old Fu has never had such a headache like now.

If possible, he really wanted to replace most of the people in Yunnan's administrative center. It's fine if these people don't speak human words, and he can bear it for the time being if they don't do human affairs, but the problem is that they don't have any brains yet.

Even the animals know what it means to judge the situation and what it means to bully the weak and fear the strong, but these people surrendered quickly when they surrendered, and now they are also quick when they make troubles.

Relying on the Ming army's unclear understanding of the local situation and the language barrier, they all wanted to take the opportunity to fool them.

I just ate vegetarian food for two days, and the blood on the knife was not washed, so I thought I was a monk?

Fu Youde's subordinates also have something to say about Shangfeng who is so angry that he throws the table and throws the teacup every day.

Hot one, when will the person sent by the Ministry of Officials arrive to replace them?They would rather follow the two generals Lan and Mu to climb the mountain to clear up the barbarians who did not want to surrender, and they did not want to settle these completely unreasonable accounts.

"You guys still get paid anyway, what did I say about the voluntary laborers!" Throwing the account book filled with red letters to the side, Mu Xiaobai, who was arrested, fell headfirst on the small table, smashing the abacus clang.

Mu Bai shook his sore right hand, feeling that he was already a dried salted fish, and he didn't want to use the abacus to do calculations anymore.

He admitted that this tool called "abacus" is much easier to use than counting chips. When he first got started, he was also very interested, but this interest has long been in the account books that cannot be clearly calculated. Disappeared in the sea.

His precious hands should be used for wielding weapons, not fiddling with abacus beads.

Rather than calculating these never-ending accounts, "I'd rather endorse!" Mu Bai thought through gritted teeth.

So the question is, what made Mu Xiaobai, a young man who should have endorsed in Xiumang Village, Mangbu Road, appear in Kunming?

——Of course it is because of the temptation of meat!

Mongolia is a nomadic people. Even if they settled down in the farming land, their staple food is still meat and dairy products. Therefore, under the rule of the Yuan court for nearly a hundred years, the local diet and product structure of Yunnan inevitably changed. Certain changes.

The most obvious is that as more cattle and sheep are raised, the main meat diet of the local people has changed from pork and fish to pork, mutton and fish.

In order to comfort their homesickness, the Mongolian nobles living in Yunnan had made great efforts to introduce goats from the north.As the saying goes, if an orange grows in Huainan, it becomes an orange, and when it grows in Huaibei, it becomes a trifoliate orange. The same goes for goats.

The new breed of Yunnan black goat produced after the mating of northern goats and Yunnan local goats is very good at climbing. Due to the abundance of local product resources and almost no ice-covered period, Yunnan black goats can live on fresh grass all their lives. With a fast growth rate, the smell of mutton is very small. This kind of sheep with less fat and more lean meat is very suitable for stewing.

In addition, the local goats can eat mountain herbs at will during the stocking period, eat a hundred herbs and drink spring water to grow a variety of flavors. When the Northern Yuan Dynasty ruled, the black goats in Yunnan became local tributes because of their delicious taste.

After the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the locally produced black goats gradually entered the market and became the table of ordinary people without paying tribute.However, Mubai’s former location on Mangbu Road is far away from the main black goat breeding area, and even if there are occasional merchants who bring them for sale, the price is extremely expensive.

For the Mu brothers who are struggling on the poverty line, although it is not out of reach, it is considered a small luxury.

And in the military camp in Kunming, mutton soup and mutton can be eaten every day =w= This can be regarded as the main comfort for the local officers.

Cough, but of course Mu Xiaobai didn't come here because of the mutton soup. Before that, he didn't know that he would be treated this way. He was actually caught by the Jinhua ham he ate before.

When Mu Bai ate ham for the first time, he was astounded as a man of heaven, and he often performed art for eating meat. Therefore, when the army left camp, what Mu Bai was most attached to was this delicious meat.

Touched by the young man's support, the cook waved his hand, expressing that he would teach Mu Xiaobai the technique of making ham.

In fact, the production process of ham is quite simple, and it is not a secret. In Daming, almost all wealthy farms will marinate their own meat for emergencies.

But just like the taste of the same breed of goats in Mongolia and Yunnan will be different, even with the same technology, different environments, different pig breeds, different salts, and even different climates will cause ham to taste different. Tastes vary wildly.

Some hams are no different from bacon, and some hams get better with age, and are rich and oily.

The ham that took away the soul of Mr. Mu Xiaolang came from Jinhua County in Ningyue Prefecture. The cook swore that the ham from his hometown dared to be second in the world, and no one else's ham dared to say so. First.

The first leg in the world is talking about their hometown.

And there is no special skill at all to make such a ham. It must be said that Jinhua County has received the aura of heaven and earth, and the ham here is destined to be different.

God destined this thing, who can steal it?

So, what are you afraid of when teaching technology?The predecessors in Jinhua County never hid the craftsmanship, and they even taught the ham-making techniques to the barbarians, but even today, the same sentence is still the same-the best ham in the world is the one that produces Jinhua.
