The latest website: The two Chinese citizens provide cheap salt, which means that selling salt does not make money, and the salt tax has been an important source of fiscal revenue in previous dynasties.

Beihua relies on the three oldest things, namely tea, porcelain and silk, while Nanhua uses sugar, rum and tobacco to support its finances.

The army spent a large amount of military spending to purchase candy, rum and tobacco and distributed it to the three armies. The army only got cigarettes. The emperor said: "Let the boys light up the cigarettes, and any enemy will die!"

Cigarettes are recognized as a "good medicine" for boosting morale. Sometimes when the supply is not available, if there is smoke, you can even skip meals!

As long as the supply is available, the "standard" cigarettes for each soldier are packs per week, with 20 cigarettes per pack, while the officers doubled, and the commissary also sells cigars and shredded tobacco at fair prices.

In addition to smoking cigarettes, the officers smoke a lot of cigars, while the soldiers smoke shreds on a large bamboo wheel in the class.

Dalu bamboo is the common name for water pipes. It is a kind of smoking set about two or three feet long and made of thick bamboo poles. It has a diameter of 7 cm. A small copper tube or small bamboo tube is inserted in the middle of the bamboo tube. It is the place to light the tobacco. It is filled with water, and the upper opening is used for smoking. It is said that for smoking in this way, the cigarette must be filtered through water first, which reduces a lot of toxins. Therefore, it is more scientific than smoking cigarettes and is very popular in western Guangdong.

In fact, hookah smoking is not uncommon. The hookah has been popular in the Middle East as early as the Middle East, and the smoking set of the hookah is quite elegant and high-end, but it is the same smoking category as Daluzhu.

Hookahs are generally private and public. After eating and drinking, take a nap between battles and gather in a group. After smoking one pipe and smoking another, smoking and chatting, the sound of "gudonggudong" is endless, and it is not interesting.

Daluzhu has been circulated in the Ming Dynasty in western Guangdong, and it is related to the identity and background of the ancestors and soldiers of the western Guangdong people. On the western side of Guangdong, there are many soldiers who have immigrated from history. The weather is bad, and it is often necessary to fight against the gods. The local people's customs are more sturdy and they don't accept Wang Hua, which makes the soldiers in the Rong side very depressed.

Later in the Ming Dynasty, China introduced tobacco leaves and entered the army in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. Soldiers often used smoking to dispel boredom and exhaustion of the army's life, and used it to relieve boredom. Water pipes gradually became popular in western Guangdong.

Due to the large number of people and the small number of chimneys, everyone needs to gather together to share. Fighting requires refreshing, and work also requires refreshing. This custom is very popular among the people of western Guangdong, who are descended from soldiers, and it quickly became popular.

There are also western Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan. Whether in the mountains or on the seashore, there are many trees, grass, and mosquitoes. Smoking hookah also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. According to an ancient physician's record: "The division and brigade went deep into the miasma, all of them contracted the disease, and the only battalion was safe and sound. Asked why, all the people took cigarettes."

Cigarette smoking is hookah smoking. Everyone knows that second-hand smoke is unbearable. The mosquitoes that smoke second-hand smoke will just blow up their farts, and they will not fly until they die. They will plop and fall to the ground!

Therefore, smoking can avoid the bite of mosquitoes that carry the virus. This secret recipe has gradually spread from the army to the people.

In addition, the temperature in western Guangdong is high, the humidity is heavy, and it is easy to get angry. Smoking hookahs has the effect of removing dampness and reducing dryness. Even if there is cigarette smoking, people in Western Guangdong always feel that hookahs are more suitable for the local climate, so this habit is still in place. The folks are prosperous and there is no way to completely replace cigarettes. This is really "one side of the water and soil nourishes the other side"!

Among the millions of Chinese who went to Southeast Asia, many of them were from Western Guangdong. They brought Daluzhu to Southeast Asia. Everyone saw it, ho, it’s more scientific to smoke Daluzhu, and tobacco is much cheaper than cigarettes (BS). Packing), and the shredded tobacco is strong enough, and it is enjoyable to smoke.

Cool!

With so many advantages, it became popular in South China, and the South China Army took Daluzhu to all over the world!

Daluzhu became popular in South Africa, and the officers did not prohibit it, thinking that it could kill those pesky mosquitoes!

Therefore, there is a secret for the South China Army to gain a foothold in Africa, which is hot and mosquito-infested. You must check it out!

Wubai Guiyoubao understood that, he consciously used part of the military expenditure to buy a large amount of cheap shredded tobacco, introduced Daluzhu, and turned the Japanese into a smoker.

The effect was immediate, the morale of the troops rose, and the sickness rate dropped.

This is real!

Later, all the Imperial Army was equipped with Daluzhu. They could not smoke cigarettes and cigars, but the shredded tobacco was still affordable, and the effect was even more effective.

In addition to cigarettes, there is also chocolate candy supplied to the South China Army. South China is the largest cocoa producer in the world. The army is obliged to participate in the sale of cocoa, so it buys a large amount of cocoa candies. Ingredients include: cocoa butter, sucrose, milk, and oatmeal. (Infiltrated to make the candies firm and insoluble in summer), spices, etc., are delicious and belong to high-calorie field foods. Soldiers can eat the chocolate bar directly, or dissolve it in water and drink it as a drink. Since everyone likes to eat chocolate, the South China Army also regards chocolate candies as a good thing to encourage morale.

Because it was so delicious, the research department accepted an order to make the chocolate candies unpalatable, otherwise the chocolate candies that were scheduled as life-saving food would be eaten up before the battle!

Using cigarettes and chocolate candies to encourage morale, plus other supplies, the supplies are so much better. It can be said that the South China Army can win the war and seize the golden land of South Africa. These first-class supplies are inseparable.

In the middle and late stages of the South African War, the imperial coalition forces participating in the war were more Indians, Annans, and Burmese, and they were more adapted to the climate of South Africa.

The South China Army who participated in the war mostly used soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi. Because of the same language and culture, the armed forces of Guangdong and Guangxi have strong cohesion on the battlefield. The aggressive folk customs have cultivated their spirit of not afraid of death on the battlefield, and just like others said " Like the military oils of Guangdong and Guangxi, they have high emergency response capabilities, flexible maneuverability, and eclectic combat methods. They are the most troublesome for their opponents. They rank upstream in the military sequence of all provinces in China.

They adapt to the climate of South Africa. They are well-off in the complex environment of South Africa. Even if the armed forces of the provinces of China have more combat effectiveness than the soldiers of Guangdong and Guangxi, they cannot adapt to the climate like the armed forces of Guangdong and Guangxi. Soldiers can fight so well, so using soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi to fight South Africa really uses the right people!

With sufficient supplies and rest, they carried out the hammer-anvil tactic, which was to attack, then return to the city to rest, attack again, and continue to attack the black skin.

As a result, morale was high, non-combat personnel were reduced, and combat effectiveness was strong. In the end, the black skins in South Africa were wiped out two years later, and the remaining black skins were insignificant.

The Chinese occupied important transportation routes such as mountain passes and river valleys. The 50,000 South China Army and the Eighty Thousand Emperors’ Allied Forces firmly controlled the treasure land of South Africa.

There are only yellow people in South Africa. In the words of a certain Xiaoqiang triumphantly: "South Africa is the territory of the Chinese nation since ancient times!"
