    At this moment, in the city of Jianchang Prefecture in Dali, Chen Yujie hesitated for a moment, then took the betel nut handed over by Wu Xi and reluctantly stuffed it into his mouth. When he looked at Wu Xi again, he saw that he was already chewing the betel nut with relish.  . ¤·

    In later generations, Chen Yujie was a smoker, and his fingers are still yellow to this day, and his teeth are yellow with black.  But Chen Yujie had a natural dislike for betel nut. He tried it once and never chewed it again. In Chen Yujie¡¯s words, ¡°I feel sick when I see other people chewing betel nut.¡±  Some doctors also pointed out that chewing betel nut can cause oral cancer, so Chen Yujie stayed away from it.  However, the betel nut industry in later generations has grown bigger and bigger amid a lot of doubts. It is said that the betel nut industry has reached 40 billion.  Of course, Taiwanese were the first consumers of betel nut chewing, but Hunan caught up with them. It is said that 30 billion of the 40 billion betel nut industry was contributed by Hunan people, 90% of which are produced by Hunanese, and 70% of areca nut is produced by Hunanese.  Chewed off.  Of course, as an addictive snack, betel nut is likely to become popular across the country. Anyway, more and more people are chewing betel nut. Maybe in a few years, betel nut will be combined with tobacco and alcohol.  Together, they have become a new economic growth point for the country and a major pillar of taxation.

    Chen Yujie is from Jiangsu. In the three or four years before Chen Yujie traveled through time, it seemed to be a habit of some people around him to hand someone a piece of betel nut. This made Chen Yujie feel very helpless. However,  Although Chen Yujie hates chewing betel nuts, he himself has been criticized for smoking. Of course, he can't laugh at a hundred steps if he takes fifty steps - if others don't accuse me of smoking and polluting the environment, Chen Yujie will burn incense.  Naturally, Jie would not publicly declare that chewing betel nut is a bad habit.

    Unexpectedly, after traveling to the Song Dynasty, Chen Yujie chewed betel nuts.  Firstly, this is of course to prevent miasma, and it is important to save his own life; secondly, as a promising officer of the Song Dynasty, Chen Yujie has the responsibility to set an example and take the lead.  By the way, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were somewhat resistant to betel nut at first, but after chewing it a few times, many became addicted.  Don't tell me, chewing betel nut is really effective in preventing miasma. God knows what kind of medicinal materials Peng Qinfang 'mixed' in it, but at least there is no melocyanine. The chemical industry of the Song Dynasty has not developed enough to produce it.  The level of melocyanine.  However, there are many twists and turns in traditional Chinese medicine, so the betel nuts that Chen Yujie chewed were specially supplied. The brand name of this special supply is "Panda". According to Lao Peng, "Panda"  The "Panda" brand of betel nut has absolutely no harmful additives. The problem is that the "Panda" brand of betel nut is very expensive. A piece of betel nut costs ten cents, which is comparable to the Panda cigarettes of later generations.

    The "Panda" betel nut should be mixed with some kind of flavor and wine, but when chewed in Chen Yujie's mouth, it was still tasteless. Chen Yujie really couldn't feel that it was inferior to the soldiers.  What is the difference in taste between betel nuts?

    Chen Yujie, who was chewing high-end betel nut, did not enjoy it at all, but Chen Yujie also knew that at least he could not show any expression in front of others that the betel nut was unpalatable. It was not easy for a group of soldiers, including generals, to develop this habit.  The habit of chewing betel nut has been cultivated from a niche market to the current scale. Of course, it is hard-won, but it must not be affected by the enthusiasm of officers and soldiers for chewing betel nut for their own reasons.

    In the Song Dynasty, chewing betel nut was actually not a new thing. For example, Su Dongpo wrote a poem that said, "The red tide is on the cheeks and the drunken betel nut is drunk." It can be seen that betel nut was a snack in the Song Dynasty, but it was not as popular as in the Chuan Dynasty.  Elevating betel nut to the level of industry.

    ?? Betel nut is a new economic growth point that Chuanchuang is striving to create. Now it seems that the prospects are worth looking forward to. According to this trend, maybe in one or two years, the betel nut industry will become a pillar industry of Chuanchuang.  As one of the shareholders of the Mao Group, I will benefit greatly from the betel nut industry, so now, even if I can't pretend to be intoxicated like the betel nut spokesperson, at least I can't hold it back!

    The Wu Xi in front of him has quite the potential to be a betel nut spokesperson!

    "Deputy Chief of Staff Chen, Marshal Xin, please come over." The person who came to invite Chen Yujie was one of Xin Qiji's personal guards. Now Xin Qiji is the commander-in-chief of the army. This matter was not expected by the army. Who knows  When the army was about to go on an expedition, the imperial court suddenly transferred Xin Qiji back. In addition to having the title of deputy privy envoy, Xin Qiji was also the commander of the Chengdu military capital, the general manager of the horse and infantry capital, and the envoy of the Sichuan-Shaanxi pacification system. Although most of the people in Shaanxi  They are all in the hands of the Jin people, but the Song Dynasty also has some territory in Shaanxi, so Xin Qiji, the Sichuan-Shaanxi pacification envoy, is quite reliable, and letting Xin Qiji take this official position is just to coordinate the military and political affairs of Sichuan and Shaanxi.  resources so that everything can serve the war.  The last of Xin Qiji's long list of posts was that of the Southwest Advocate. The post of Advocate was an official position in charge of military affairs temporarily established during wartime. It was established during the war and would be abolished after the war.  With this series of official positions, everything will be easy to handle, and you don't have to worry about too many constraints.

      In short, under the eyes of astonishment, Xin Qiji suddenly transformed from a feudal official in the South China Sea to the commander-in-chief of the expedition to Dali.

    Originally, no one expected that Xin Qiji would be chosen as the coach of Dali.

    At this time, the famous generals of the Song Dynasty were withering away one after another. Li Xianzhong, who led the "Longxing Northern Expedition", had passed away more than ten years ago. Among the three generals' families, the Wu family, the Guo family, and the Yue family, Wu Jie's nephew, Wu Lin  His son Wu 'Ting' is the general who guards Sichuan. He has been a general who has led the army for many years and is very famous. There have been rumors that Wu 'Ting' will be the commander of the expeditionary army; and the Guo family, Guo Hao's second son  Guo Gao is currently the deputy commander in front of the palace, and with Guo Gao as the head coach, he can hold down the position; as for the Yue family, due to the Feng Bo Pavilion case, the descendants of the Yue family are currently the best in the military.  That is to say, Yue Ju. Yue Ju is still relatively junior and naturally has nothing to do with the commander-in-chief.

    Therefore, there are rumors that the coach of the expedition to Dali is either Wu Ting or Guo Gao.

    In fact, although Wu Ting was only fifty-four years old, he was already ill at this time. According to history, Wu Ting died next year in 1193.  In addition, on the one hand, Wu Ting's troops are responsible for guarding against the Jin soldiers; on the other hand, Wu is almost a vassal town under a separate regime at this time. It would be polite not to reduce his military power. How can he be allowed to do so again?  There is a chance to become the King of Dali!  Therefore, no matter how weak Zhao Dun is, he will definitely not let Wu Ting take on the important task of expedition to Dali again.

    In the end, Guo Gao, who was favored by public opinion, did not take the seat, but Xin Qiji took advantage.  Of course, Lu Yijian had a share of the credit for this. Lu Yijian would naturally not be optimistic about a traditional general like Guo Gao. Xin Qiji had frequently used force in the South China Sea in the past two years, so he naturally understood the use of firearms and had some knowledge of them.  Some supporting new tactics are now on the expedition to Dali, including Wu Xi's team, which has also been equipped with a large number of muskets and artillery. When it comes to choosing a commander, regardless of command ability and tactical level, in Lu Yijian's eyes, Xin Qiji is naturally better.

    All right!  In fact, Zhao Dun himself was very optimistic about Xin Qiji. This was the main reason why Xin Qiji was able to lead the army to expedition to Dali.

    Xin Qiji commanded the army, so he naturally put special emphasis on Chen Yujie, an expert in firearms tactics.

    The first thing he did to reuse Chen Yujie was to adopt Chen Yujie's suggestion, establish a staff office, and appoint Chen Yujie as deputy chief of staff. As for the chief of staff, Xin Qiji was also well versed in the art of balance.  , so Guo Ni, who is known as a wise man, became the chief of staff.

    When Chen Yujie came to Xin Qiji's command hall, Chief of Staff Guo Ni and three staff officers were already there.

    "Okay, Deputy Chief of Staff Chen is also here. Now let's study the battle plan to capture Huichuan Mansion." As the Chief of Staff, Guo Ni immediately stood up and solemnly announced when he saw Marshal Xin nodding. Well, it looks very formal.  .  But then, Guo Ni "asking Xin Shuai for instructions" exposed the gap in the quality of this chief of staff. To put it bluntly, he was inferior to Zhuge. In Chen Yujie's eyes, Guo Ni even  Not as good as the three staff officers here.

    Xin Qiji waved his hand and signaled to Counselor Tang to speak first.

    Staff Officer Tang was also unambiguous, and immediately began to explain the Huichuan battle plan formulated by the staff office.

    In fact, the content of this Huichuan battle plan is not new. It is just an upgraded version of the siege battle plan based on the lessons learned from the battle against Jianchang Mansion.

    Speaking of the battle to attack Jianzhou Prefecture, the original siege plan was to prepare for a ten-and-a-half-month siege. It would not be bad to capture Jianchang City in one month. After all, Jianchang City is a fortified city, far from the barbarians of Luzon.  Kind of rough castle comparable.

    But in fact, it only took three days to attack Jianchang City, and they easily captured Jianchang City.  Afterwards, we all concluded that it did not take three days at all. The problem was that the artillery's artillery bombardment skills were still a bit poor, from placing the artillery in place, setting up the artillery, to test firing, and then to firing several artillery salvos.  ', the artillerymen of the Song Dynasty worked hard for more than a day, so the time was wasted.

    There was a hot air balloon shooting in mid-air. This made the Dali defenders who believed in gods and Buddhas feel terrified. What was even more despairing was that there were continuous explosions on the city walls and within the city walls. The Dali defenders  Those who died or were injured in the explosion, and those who were not injured also lost their souls. Almost in an instant, the defenders on the city wall ran away, and they all ran far away from the city wall. They only asked for the blessing of Buddha.  It¡¯s better not to be hit by the kind of thunder that chases your life and seizes your soul.

    This was not enough. According to the tactics formulated in advance, the Song Dynasty did not take advantage of the emptiness at the top of the city to attack the city rashly. Instead, they set up mortars at a closer distance, and then swish, swish, and flew towards the target. On the city wall  On the city wall, a new wave of explosions started in front and behind the city wall.

    When the soldiers of the Song Dynasty struggled to climb the city wall, theyIt was found that except for the dead and wounded soldiers who could not move, there was no living person resisting on the city wall.  ¡ª¡ª32133dsuaahhh29284891¡ª¡ª>
