"In this battle, both sides suffered great casualties. Your Xuan Armored Cavalry also suffered a lot. You go to the imperial guards, no, go to all the troops to select a group of qualified soldiers to make up for it." Li Jun rode on the horse and rode against Zhao Qiandao, who was riding on both sides: "The Xuan Armored Cavalry is our treasure. This is the only strategic assault force that we can use. You have to spend more time and train well."

"Prince, please rest assured. I will do my best." Zhao Qian said regretfully: "This Tartar is too difficult. Even in such a situation, I would rather die in battle than surrender. Many of our brothers died in vain."

"This is a real soldier!" Li Jun always admired the Mongolian spirit of bravery and said, "If our army also had this spirit of fighting to the death, it would be very powerful, and there would not be so many things that would lose power and humiliate the country."

As Li Jun said, there were indeed some problems with the brave spirit of the Southern Song army. Although not everyone was like this, at least the proportion was quite large, Zhao Qian was speechless.

Li Jun realized that the words were a little more important and said, "Of course, this is only a part and cannot represent our soldiers of the Song Dynasty. We also had good soldiers in the Song Dynasty. It was these good soldiers who fought bloody battles that saved the country of the Song Dynasty. The Liao War, the Jin War, the Western Xia War, and the Mongolian War, many excellent soldiers emerged. They spontaneously organized and resisted foreign enemies when the main force was defeated, which was melodious."

The Song Dynasty was always defeated repeatedly in foreign wars, but many passionate soldiers spontaneously organized to resist the enemy's pursuit and won time for the main force to retreat. Han Shizhong, a famous general, was one of them.

"Yes, this is the soul of our great Song Dynasty soldiers!" Zhao Qian said excitedly.

"It's also the soul of our China!" Li Jun added, jumped off his horse, walked to a plant with red fruits, looked at the plant carefully, and said happily: "Chi pepper, I didn't expect there were peppers here. Oh, there are several more, so many of them, you can stir-fry it on a large plate to eat."

More than a dozen peppers are growing lushly and bear full fruits. The peppers are ripe, red, bright and tempting, indescribable.

According to research, chili peppers were introduced to China from South America, first in the Jiangnan area, and then to Sichuan, which likes spicy food. This is true for modern people, but I personally do not think that chili peppers do not exist in China. I believe that chili peppers must have appeared in China over the thousands of years of history of China, but they did not attract people's attention and became a condiment. This principle is the same as the principle that capitalism appeared in the Ming Dynasty and China did not develop into a capitalist society.

The Song people did not have the habit of eating chili peppers, and Zhao Qian said in disbelief: "Master, can this thing be eaten?"

"It's a lot of delicious." Li Jun is from Maoling, Shaanxi. He stayed in Chongqing during the Anti-Japanese War. He never got tired of Chongqing hotpot and had a special liking for spicy food. He has never seen peppers again after coming to this world. When he saw so many peppers, he almost drooled. He picked a red pepper and rubbed it on the robe of the Gunlong Emperor, and then put it into his mouth.

Zhao Qianke was anxious and shouted: "Your Majesty, no. Your Majesty, it is still unknown whether this pepper is poisonous. You must not take risks with the emperor's body of thousands of gold."

"How can chili be poisonous? Otherwise, the great leader would not have the famous saying "If you don't eat chili, you are not a real revolutionary." Li Jun vetoed it in his heart without thinking, saying, "This thing will not be poisonous."

Seeing that Li Jun insisted on Shi Jian, Zhao Qian said, "Emperor, let me give it a try. If it's okay, it's not too late for the emperor to eat it." He was willing to take the risk to test the poison for Li Jun.

"You have eaten it? You have never eaten chili peppers. You will definitely treat spicy food as poison. What else do I eat?" Li Jun murmured the powerful general in his heart and said, "You don't have to worry, there is nothing to do." Without waiting for Zhao Qian to speak, he sent the chili peppers into his mouth and chewed them, and repeatedly applauded, saying, "It's delicious, delicious, delicious." It's not like the emperor, but like a greedy diner.

If it were normal, Zhao Qian would have joked about Li Jun's eating habits in his heart, but now he was not interested in making fun of him. He was extremely worried and his heart was in his throat. He was calm in the face of Bo Yan's army, but he was scared by the little pepper to death. If it were in modern society, he would have been treated as a mental disorder.

Li Jun slammed his mouth and said, "It's delicious, it's so delicious." He was not satisfied, so he picked another one. Zhao Qian stomped his feet in a hurry and said, "Master, you must not eat it anymore. If it's poisonous, isn't this toxicity too much?" Without saying a word, he snatched the spicy food from Li Jun.

Li Jun knew that he was loyal, but he didn't care, and said, "Do you want General Zhao to taste it yourself?"

Zhao Qian thought that as a minister, it was necessary to test the poison for Li Jun. He took the opportunity to say, "Thank you, the emperor." He rubbed the spicy food on the battle robe like Li Jun, and put it into his mouth. He then bit it and screamed, "It's poisonous!" A scream could not express his shock, and added, "What a poisonous poison!" It seemed that he had been captured in the most poisonous poison in the world.

"You General Zhao, really know how to make jokes and say spicy food is poisonous. Is there such a spicy and fragrant poison?" Li Jun tried his best to hold back his smile and reminded him: "You taste it again, taste it carefully."

Li Jun's words were imperial edicts. Although Zhao Qian was afraid, he still followed the order and his mouth was tilted. The more he clicked, the brighter his eyes became. He put the peppers in his hand into his mouth and chewed them, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and murmured to himself: "This thing is so weird. The spicy and fragrant the more you eat, the more you want to eat it." He endured the discomfort desperately, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and looked like he couldn't give up, a typical modern pepper insect.

"There is another pepper insect." Li Jun thought with a sense of accomplishment. He picked a chili and rubbed it on the royal robe a few times, put it into his mouth, and ate it a few bites, and said, "This thing is used to stir-fry meat, but it is delicious. I will pick a few and I will cook it in the imperial kitchen and ask you to stir-fry the meat with chili meat."

Zhao Qian said in his mouth that he had eaten too much pepper and said, "Thank you. If it weren't for the emperor, I wouldn't have known that this thing is so delicious. I saw this thing every day, but I just didn't dare to think about it."

The peppers grew on the side of the road, and Zhao Qian would see them when he passed by, but he didn't even think about eating them.

"You think the more beautiful the thing is, the more poisonous it is. This is wrong." Li Jun told Zhao Qian: "In fact, there are many beautiful things that are not poisonous. They can be eaten or delicious."

"Yes. For example, the more beautiful the mushrooms are, the less they dare not eat them." Zhao Qian agreed with Li Jun's statement very much.

Li Jun picked more than a dozen chili peppers and said, "It's enough, you can fry a large plate. People should not be too greedy, pick the rest again later. With good things, you can't eat them all at once like beggars." He put them in his pocket, and then he found that there was no pocket on the imperial robe. He said helplessly: "It seems that there is no such blessing."

"Your Majesty, let me take it to you. I have a pocket." Zhao Qian said, taking the pepper from Li Jun and put it in his pocket.

Li Jun looked at the sun for a moment and felt a little embarrassed, saying, "You can't tell others about this. We went to the Injured Barracks to inspect it. I didn't expect that it was just for the La Jiao. If I told you, someone would criticize me."

"Prince, please rest assured, I will never say it." Zhao Qian immediately expressed his loyalty.

Li Jun jumped on his horse and said, "Let's go. Let's go to the wounded barracks to have a look."
