Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

"What are you all thinking? I'll just let you have a taste, but everyone wants to have a taste. This is the oil cake that only the soldiers under our King Qin can eat. Even the soldiers in General Ding's southern camp don't have this treatment."

Then Ding Mao told the captives in detail the origin of the puff pastry and vegetable soup.

"Our Princess Qin is a powerful person. She knows astronomy and geography, as well as the five elements and numbers. She is a very capable person."

Ding Mao had memorized everything about Ye Jintang long ago, and now he talked about it like he knew it all by heart, leaving the captives present stunned.

"Do you see the cotton coat I'm wearing?"

Ding Mao tugged at his thick cotton coat. Compared to the thin cotton coats worn by the prisoners, his coat was much warmer.

"The outer fabric of the cotton-padded jacket is made of strong and wear-resistant coarse cloth. Although it feels a little rough when touched, it is difficult for anything other than swords to scratch it when marching and fighting."

"The cotton inside the cotton-padded jacket is all genuine new cotton, not the old and worn-out cotton that people don't want."

"And the innermost part of the cotton coat is made of extremely soft cotton."

Ding Mao was afraid that others would not see it, so he lifted up his clothes to show the prisoners the soft cotton cloth inside, which would not rub against the skin even if worn next to it.

"You see, my cotton-padded jacket is much better than yours. From planting cotton to weaving the cloth into cotton-padded jackets, all of them were made under the supervision of our Princess Qin. Every piece of cotton-padded jacket is extremely warm."

At the end, he pretended to be casual and said, "If you want to have enough food and clothes when you fight, you might as well surrender directly to the King of Qin."

"Not only can we have enough food and clothes, but the weapons we use in war are also much better than the ones you have in your hands."

Ding Mao casually drew out his sword and showed it to the captives.

The sword glowed coldly in the sunlight, and it looked extremely sharp.

The swords used by the captives themselves had very thin blades, and if a real fight broke out, they could not compete with the higher quality swords of others.

Weapons are the basis of survival on the battlefield. If you lose too much on them, it is very likely that the soldiers who are charging into battle will lose their lives.

The soldiers under Xiao Changming's command were all recruited from various places. Some of them could not be forcibly conscripted, and some of them were recruited for the pitifully small military pay.

It doesn't matter who they serve as a soldier, as long as they can fill their stomachs and get paid on time, they will be satisfied.

The prisoners looked at each other, and no one spoke for a moment, but they had already made up their minds.

"General, good news. Almost all of the prisoners we captured, except for a few troublemakers, have surrendered and chosen to be loyal to the King of Qin."

Ding Mao rushed into Zhou Wuwei's study excitedly.

At this moment, Zhou Wuwei was writing a letter to Ye Jintang by pigeon. He didn't even raise his head when Ding Mao came in.

"Everyone came out just to make a living, so it is not surprising that they surrendered to the King of Qin."

It wasn't just Ding Mao who was showing off food and drink to the captives outside Nanping City. Xiao Mo arranged many people and performed a show for the captives at the same time in order to make them surrender.

After all, raising prisoners and raising your own soldiers are two completely different things.

Zhou Wuwei thought that the person who could come up with such a brilliant idea definitely couldn't be the stingy guy Xiao Mo, but most likely it was Ye Jintang who came up with it.

After writing the letter, Zhou Wuwei carefully stuffed it into a bamboo tube and tied it to the leg of the carrier pigeon himself.

The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. Only then did he turn around and look at Ding Mao.

"Where is Zhou Quankun now?"

"Zhou Quankun was seriously injured. He has already boarded a carriage and is preparing to return to the capital. I heard that the last arrow directly shattered his right kneecap. Even if he survives, he may not be able to stand up again."

"Very good, everything is going according to plan. I will make Zhou Quankun live a life worse than death."

"Yes."

Ding Mao responded with full energy. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

After entering winter, it has become apparent that the time it takes for homing pigeons to deliver messages has increased significantly.

By the time Ye Jintang received Zhou Wuwei's letter, it was already winter.

Ningchuan City had just experienced a snowstorm, and when the carrier pigeon flew over, its wings were frostbitten and it almost couldn't fly.

"Luzhu, put the pigeon in the pigeon cage and take good care of it. I think the wound on the pigeon's wing won't heal in two or three months."

"Yes, I will take good care of the pigeon."

After Lu Zhu left, Ye Jintang opened the bamboo tube and read the letter inside.

Earlier, Zhou Wuwei had asked Ye Jintang how to deal with a scum like Zhou Quankun and make him live a life worse than death.

At that time, Ye Jintang only replied with one sentence, which made him lose everything he cared about most.

Now it seems that Zhou Wuwei understood these words very thoroughly.

What Zhou Quankun cared about most was military power, but now that he had it, it was gone before he could even warm up to it.

If he never gets it, he will just fantasize about it in his heart.

But he got the military power and saw hope, and then he became penniless. This torment would definitely make Zhou Quankun collapse.

The corners of Ye Jintang's lips curled up slightly. In just a few years, Zhou Wuwei grew up quickly. He was no longer the little kid with a stern face all day long.

As his fingers gently stroked the edge of the bamboo tube, Ye Jintang guessed that this should be the last pigeon letter of the year.

The city was blocked by heavy snow and the weather in Ningchuan Prefecture was severe. It was basically impossible for carrier pigeons to break through the numerous obstacles and fly from the capital to Ningchuan City.

I don’t know how Xiao Mo is doing now.

"Mom, mom, Xiao Jin pecked me again."

Ye Jintang was just about to think about Xiao Mo when he heard An An's anxious voice coming from the door.

Behind her chubby little body followed an equally chubby little golden eagle.

The little golden eagle has a few flight feathers on its wings, and its furry body looks extremely cute.

Normally, it should stay in the nest because it is so small, but the little golden eagle doesn't like his pigeon brother.

As soon as it was able to walk, it followed the two children around all day long. Who would have thought that the mighty golden eagle was actually a walking chicken when it was young.

"Why did Xiao Jin peck you?"

Ye Jintang picked up An An and put her on his knees. The little golden eagle on the ground looked at Ye Jintang holding An An and became very anxious. It turned around on the ground and made noises from time to time.

"It took away all the meat that was given to Flame. I want to help Flame get it back."

Flame is a snow ferret and the golden eagle is his natural enemy.

Even though the little golden eagle is still a cub, its natural dominance is engraved in its bones.

Sometimes the little golden eagle is naughty and tries to steal Flame's meat. Flame is obviously bigger than it, so it doesn't dare to go forward to grab it and can only shrink aside and stare pitifully.

An An is a chivalrous woman who hates to see the weak being bullied, so a scene occurs where she always helps Huo Yan to snatch meat.

"No wonder Xiao Jin wanted to peck you. You're snatching food from its mouth, so it's strange that it doesn't peck you."

As soon as Ye Jintang finished speaking, Pingping came in with Xuetuan and Huoyan.

When Huoyan heard Xiaojin's voice, he jumped onto Pingping's shoulder in fear, which showed that he was often bullied.
