The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 60 Harvest Days (please subscribe, please support!!!)

Wang Bi stood there blankly, constantly answering everything about Sun Jie in his mind.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still have no clue.

Sun Jie turned around, looked at Wang Bi who was staying where he was, and asked, "What are you thinking about? Do you have any worries?"

Wang Bi was shocked, Sun Jie's words directly pulled him back from thinking.

After reacting, he hurriedly stood up straight, and hurriedly said: "My lord, no, nothing!"

There was a hint of panic on his face, and he wanted to ask, but he was worried.

Sun Jie waved his hand and said without thinking too much, "Then hurry up and record all these things as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

Wang Bi adjusted his mentality and returned to the previous state.

Many of the building materials in front of us are steel pipes and steel bars.

Although Wang Bi is an accountant, he also has certain insights.

Steel, ordinary people can't get it easily.

Not to mention that there are so many piles in front of you, and almost all of them look like you have never seen before.

I don't know what these things are used for, but I just subconsciously register them according to the numbers Sun Jie said.

"These things will be strictly guarded in the future, and there must be no mistakes.

Especially this steel pipe, with one end of the steel pipe being sharpened, can even be used as a spear, and a wooden stick can even be put inside to extend the distance. Those captives must not be allowed to approach. "

Sun Jie looked at Wang Bi and said with a serious face.

The building material steel pipe is relatively thick, but it is not unusable, and it can still kill people after being sharpened.

The short distance is a bit short, and there is always a certain degree of danger.

A long time ago, Sun Jie thought of using a steel pipe as a spear, because it is easy to make, just sharpen one end of the steel pipe.

But a qualified long gun is about four or five meters long. Such a long steel pipe is not light. The leverage effect makes the front section extremely heavy. It is simply wishful thinking for ordinary people to pick it up.

Anyway, it is very convenient to make ordinary spears with modern tools, and there is no need to adopt this method.

"My lord, I must remember your orders!" Wang Bi said with a serious face.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and these things were basically counted.

The number is exactly the same as before the crossing, and it is completely matchable, so there is no need to worry about anything.

After finishing these things, Sun Jie went to the farmland.

For him now, apart from coal and those kilns, the most important thing is the farmland.

If there is no accident in this year's harvest, the potatoes harvested can last for a long time.

It is completely able to survive the next year, and it also saves Sun Jie from carrying grain from modern times.

After finishing his work, Wang Bi wandered around the station and went to Zhao Dading's side.

Zhao Dading took care of the prisoners and worked hard.

Zhang Dading saw him coming from a long distance, handed the whip in his hand to one of his subordinates, and walked towards Wang Bi.

Come here at this time, I'm afraid there is something wrong.

When he came to Wang Bi, Zhao Dading asked, "Is there something wrong? Or is the lord looking for me?"

Wang Bi shook his head and said: "Nothing, just come and have a look, come and have a look!"

Zhao Dading relaxed a lot, and his expression became easy-going.

"Why do you have time to come to my place today? Usually you are as busy as a county magistrate!" Zhao Dading joked.

"The county magistrate is not busy. There are masters under him, and there are also servants who are on duty in the yamen. He is at ease, so how can he be busy?" Wang Bi said with a smile.

Wang Bi asked his own question: "By the way, do you know where the things you asked to move before came from? This area is full of deserted yellow land for tens of miles. I really don't know where it came from. coming?"

This matter is so intriguing, so I wanted to come and ask.

Zhao Dading's side is relatively free, and Chen Hu may not have time to keep an eye on those strong men.

"Where did it come from? I don't know where it came from, but you have to remember that there will definitely be more and more things like this in the future. Rare things, outrageous things, or things that are unimaginable, you Don't worry about it anymore.

Just do your own thing, those of us, always follow in the footsteps of adults, don't ask so many why.It's fine if you talk about it in front of me, but you can't bring it up in front of adults! "

Zhao Dading looked calm, not angry because Wang Bi asked this question.

It's just human nature, if I put myself in Wang Bi's position, I'm afraid I will ask.

"Okay, then I don't ask!" Wang Bi let out a long breath.

"However, I can tell you a little bit about my lord's background, but you must keep it secret and not tell anyone.

The adults can let you come here to prove that you have entered the hearts of the adults, and you should also know some things, so as not to panic because of certain things in the future. "

The fact that Wang Bi was brought here by Sun Jie proves that he has approached Sun Jie's heart and become one of Sun Jie's confidantes.

If not, how could an ordinary person be involved in such a thing?
Therefore, there are some things that should be made known to him. Although the ins and outs of things cannot be stated explicitly, they can also be hinted at.

Zhao Dading suddenly approached Wang Bi, pointed his right index finger to the sky, and said cautiously: "There are more than clouds in the sky!"

There are only six short words, and there are no other words.

Wang Bi was a little puzzled, what else is there in the sky besides clouds?
Frowning in thought, a little dazed.

Seeing the weird expression on Zhao Dading's face, Wang Bi was startled, and a bold idea appeared in his mind.

"Could it be, could it be, could it be that it came from heaven..."

Halfway through speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth.

I'm afraid that these words will be heard by outsiders.

"Shh!"

Zhao Dading hastily gestured for silence.

Wang Bi's heart began to beat violently, it was originally an illusory thing, but now it actually appeared in front of him.

If it wasn't for the pile of building materials that suddenly appeared, Wang Bi would only feel that Zhao Dading was talking nonsense.

"Okay, I still have something to do, excuse me!"

Arching his hands towards Wang Bi, Zhao Dading turned and left.

Looking at Zhao Dading's back, Wang Bi's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He never expected that Sun Jie had such a background.

After thinking about it, I also understand.

If it wasn't for this reason, how could it be possible to lay such a large foundation?
Don't look at the small number of people now, don't look at the small base now, but those steels, even the entire Xi'an Prefecture, may not be able to get them out.

Sun Chuanting ransacked Xi'an Mansion in such a state, and the armored rate of the army was only two to three out of ten.

Now these more than 1000 people all have armor, and even got so much steel.

Although the steel looks weird, they are all real steel.

"Perhaps there really are immortals in the world?!"

With a silent recitation in my heart, I put my hands behind my back and turned around to go back.

……

With the sun brewing below the horizon, Sun-jae didn't snooze.

Putting on a camouflage uniform, after washing up, he walked out of the tent.

Came to the place where Chen Hu trained the soldiers, and ran with the soldiers in the morning.

There is a very important indicator in Chen Hu's training, that is, running speed and running endurance.

On the battlefield, the kung fu of legs and feet is very important.

To put it bluntly, after losing a battle, he was a little more alive than others when he fled.

When fighting, if you have good legs and feet, you can break through the enemy's defense line in a short time, or reach the predetermined place in a short time.

In any case, legs and feet are always the most important.

Sun Jie's physical fitness is not bad. He used to exercise regularly in college, and he has a good foundation.

Forging iron still needs to be hard on oneself. In the late Ming Dynasty, if one wanted to achieve hegemony, one's physical fitness must not be compromised.

Just as Chen Hu was gathering his soldiers to run, he saw Sun Jie approaching.

Hastily greeted him, and asked, "Is your lord busy?"

Seeing Sun Jie wearing a camouflage uniform, Chen Hu was a little puzzled.

"It's nothing, just train with you guys!" Sun Jie said calmly.

Chen Hu was surprised, he never expected that Sun Jie would say such a thing.

For so many years as a frontier soldier, I have never encountered such a thing.

How could those generals train with the soldiers?
The surprise has not calmed down, Sun Jie said again: "You don't have to think too much, just do what I say, don't hesitate, this is an order!"

The voice was a little low, and it was full of doubts.

Chen Hu had no choice but to train with Sun Jie.

Sun Jie followed the soldiers at the end and began to run around the garrison.

There is no decent practice ground, so this method can only be used.

But this is the best. The surrounding area of ​​the station has been leveled, and the potholes have also been filled.

There are no obstacles to running, and the circle is large, so you can let go of your hands and feet.

Chen Hu was afraid that Sun Jie would not be able to keep up with the team, so he involuntarily slowed down.

Seeing that Sun Jie was able to train with them, those soldiers felt a different feeling in their hearts.

In this powerful feudal society, in most cases, it is just empty talk for generals and soldiers to share weal and woe.

Now, just appearing in front of him in such a solid way, the soldiers were moved a lot in their hearts.

The air in the morning was a little cold, but after running, the heat emitted by the body drove all the cold away.

Sweat ran down his forehead, and Sun Jie's joints were all open.

There was a surging heat flow all over his body, and he felt an indescribable comfortable feeling.

In the next few days, Sun Jie would train with these soldiers almost every day.

After practicing for almost three or four days, the coal on the side of the wild wolf bag came far away.

Dozens of soldiers escorted more than 300 people to the station pushing wheelbarrows.

The hands of these captives were all tied to the frame of the wheelbarrow.

The wheelbarrows are all connected together to form a connected body.

If these prisoners want to escape, or want to make trouble, they must first release the shackles on their hands.

How easy is it?Surrounded by well-equipped soldiers, if there is a slight disturbance, they will be discovered.

Wanting to escape is simply a dream.

It is only a day's distance from Yelangbao to here. They left the night before and arrived the next day.

Sun Jie took these people to the kiln and piled them up in the cleared space next to them.

Ma Jinzhong, who was working, stopped the shovel in his hand, raised his head and looked over there.

He saw the captive pushing a small cart and pouring coal over there.

Gloating appeared on his face, with a sneer on his face, "Which unlucky guy was caught again, thinking that I was the only one in the whole world, I didn't expect there to be more unlucky than me!"

It is human instinct to gloat over others' misfortune. When one is miserable, if one sees someone worse than oneself, the unhappiness in one's heart will disappear a lot.

It's like the feeling of an elementary school student who scored 59 points in the test and sees his deskmate is lower than himself.

Not only Ma Jinzhong, but most of the prisoners who were working also stopped their work and looked over there.

Zhao Dading, who was guarding them, immediately waved the whip in his hand, crackled, and cursed: "What are you looking at? Give me work, be careful of your skin!"

These captives hurriedly bent down again and worked seriously.

Compared with just now, there is not so much pain.

But it is the spirit of Ah Q, their comfortable days are not many, what greets them is never-ending hard labor.

When the first batch of coal was delivered, coal was delivered almost every day in the following time.

The stream never stops.

On the open space near the kiln, a huge pile of coal has already piled up.

In addition, there are a lot of stones and sand.

Everything is ready, the next step is to make bricks and tiles, make cement, and make lime.

These things are very simple. Sun Jie printed out the manufacturing methods of these things a long time ago and explained them to the craftsmen.

Although these craftsmen have little knowledge, teaching them a few times can also teach them.

……

Black smoke was rising from the kiln, Ma Jinzhong's face was ashen, and he kept adding coal to the kiln.

The movement of the hands dare not stop, if there is any hesitation, the whip next to it will be whipped.

My mind is full of scenes from the time when I was in the world before. Compared with that time, I am too miserable.

Suddenly sadness came from it, and I felt that I might as well have surrendered to the army.

The movement in his hands was much slower, and a whip was directly drawn on his body.

Pull him out of the memory directly, endure the pain, and start busy again.

Sun Jie took the selected craftsmen and wandered around in front of these kilns.

"You all remember well, when firing bricks, the heat, time, these things are very important, there can be no mistakes..."

Sun Jie stood in front of the brick kiln, explaining in detail.

The brick kiln burns red bricks, not the modern environmentally friendly bricks, but the old-fashioned big red bricks.

The old-fashioned big red bricks have been eliminated long ago, not to say that their quality is not good, on the contrary, the quality of the old-fashioned big red bricks is very outstanding, but it is very polluting, so they are gradually eliminated.

Although the blue bricks of this era have many advantages, compared with the red bricks, they have a fatal disadvantage.

The firing speed is never as fast as that of red bricks, the procedures are complicated and the process is cumbersome, and it is not as fast as red bricks.

He brought these craftsmen to a nearby lime kiln, stood in front of the kiln, and patiently explained: "You all know that lime is not a rare thing, and it is indispensable when a big family builds a house.

This thing is simpler than burning bricks, you must remember..."

Sun Jie began to introduce in detail the various processes of burning lime.

Next is the cement kiln. This thing is very important and there can be no mistakes.

The explanation time is also the longest, and it is also very detailed.

But these craftsmen are basically illiterate, and most of them are confused when listening.

Sun Jie is not afraid of this kind of situation, at worst, burn them a few more times, lead them to practice a few more times, and he can always practice them.

……

July is hot, no matter how hot the summer is, it will pass.

Autumn is high and the air is crisp, and swan geese fly south.

Under the blue sky, a good harvest is ushered in.

In this golden autumn of October, the potatoes planted ushered in their first bumper harvest.

The training of the soldiers was also cancelled, and everyone joined the harvest team.

The captives were no exception, and all harvested potatoes with shovels.

Shovel after shovel, the potatoes were dug out of the ground, and one after another, plump potato eggs appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone's faces were full of joy, especially Sun Jie.

Holding a shovel, he turned a bunch of potatoes out of the ground, and leaned over to clean the clods from them.

Looking at the series of plump potato eggs below, I can't stop smiling from ear to ear.

The smallest one was as big as a fist, round and full, and even had a faint fragrance.

"With these potatoes, we don't have to worry about running out of food anymore." Sun Jie looked excited.

"My lord, are these potatoes really that good?

It looks ugly, but the output is really high! "Chen De bowed his waist and stood next to Sun Jie with a curious look on his face.

"After all the potatoes are harvested, I will teach you how to preserve them and how to make them. Just wait and see!

Hurry up to collect potatoes now, don't think so much about what you have. "

Sun Jie patted Chen De on the shoulder, waved the shovel, and dug another row of potatoes.

Chen Hu was holding a shovel, his face was full of excitement.

The speed at which he swung the shovel was even a bit faster than his boxing speed.

The land is full of white grain. He has tasted the taste of hunger, and he values ​​food even more. Now that the harvest is ahead, how can he not be excited?
Not only him, but most of the rest.

Of course, except for those captives.

These captives are not very happy, all they do is physical work, and they usually don't have enough to eat, how can they be happy?

At sunset, Sun Jie sat in front of the fire outside the tent.

There was a large iron pot on top of the fire, and people sat around the fire.

Except for Chen Hu, Zhao Dading and Wang Bi, Chen De and those experts in farming were all sitting in front of the fire.

Potatoes cut into cubes are boiled in the iron pot, and the aroma is wafting.

Sun Jie pointed to the iron pot in front of him, looked at everyone, and said, "The easiest way to eat potatoes is to cut them into pieces and cook them directly.

There is nothing special about it, and it doesn’t need to be shelled, ground, cut into pieces and cooked like wheat or rice. "

While talking, he took out three or four potatoes from the frame at his feet and threw them into the fire.

"It can be cooked directly with fire, and it can be cooked through cooking. Just be careful when eating, so as not to burn your mouth."

The fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, and Sun Jie opened the pot.

Sprinkle a handful of salt into it, and a salty aroma rises.

In order to explain to these people how to eat potatoes, Sun Jie didn't add other ingredients to the potatoes, and boiled them directly in plain water.

There was a gurgling sound in the pot, and the water vapor dissipated.

Looking at the potatoes in the pot, Sun Jie smiled.

……

Some people are happy, some people are sad.

Going southeast from here, you will see a burly pass.

This pass is Tongguan.

To the south of Tongguan, there is a plain called Nanyuan.

Sun Chuanting once said: "To the south of Tongguan, there are forty miles of plains, which reach the foot of Nanshan Mountain, which is called Nanyuan."

At this time, on the South Plains, a great battle was imminent.

Previously, Li Zicheng burned, killed and looted in Huayin and other places, robbing a large amount of food and people, and then set out for Tongguan, intending to pass through Tongguan and enter the Central Plains.

Once Li Zicheng entered the Central Plains, the great situation in the Central Plains would be eroded in an instant.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian couldn't just watch this happen.

So Sun Chuanting was urgently transferred to lead the Guanzhong soldiers and horses to attack Li Zicheng.

At the same time, Hong Chengchou was mobilized and rushed to Tongguan to encircle and suppress the bandits.

The army is marching, mighty and mighty.

Li Zicheng also found the pursuers, so he speeded up and rushed to Tongguan.

After arriving at Tongguan, several attacks were launched, trying to break through Tongguan and enter the Central Plains.

It's a pity that the preparations were hasty, and it was really impossible to break through.

In desperation, he had no choice but to return to the army and wander around Tongguan and other places, sometimes going east, sometimes west, sometimes south, sometimes north, making people puzzled.

The rogues like Li Zicheng are not very skilled in fighting, but their ability to escape is first-rate.

Running around around Tongguan, the officers and soldiers were at a loss for a while.

This is not going to work. Yang Sichang's strategy of "four positives and six corners, and ten sides to open the net" was so urgent that Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian issued imperial edicts several times to let him fight quickly.

This has to be said that Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian's biggest shortcoming.

Zhu Youjian is very diligent, but he has a very obvious shortcoming, that is, his irritable personality and bad temper.

If you are in a peaceful and prosperous age, you can be a Mingjun.

But in this troubled world, these shortcomings of his are the most fatal.

About a hundred miles west of Nanyuan, the two armies will join together.

The two armies are the three-sided elite led by Hong Chengchou and the Guanzhong Qin Army led by Sun Chuanting.

The camps of the two camps were closely next to each other, and the tents spread for several miles.

In the largest tent, generals from both sides gathered together.

As the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou had the title of Minister of the Ministry of War on his body, and his position was higher than that of Sun Chuanting, so he sat in the main position.

Sun Chuanting sat in the lower position, and the rest of the generals took their seats in order according to their official positions.

A map was hung in the big tent, and Hong Chengchou stepped down from his position.

Coming to the front of the map, pointing to the location of Tongguan Nanyuan, looking at everyone, "The north and south of Nanyuan are all high mountains. If you want to break through Tongguan, you must pass through this place.

Therefore, the place where our army can win or lose can only be in Tongguan. "

"Your Excellency's words are very true, but according to the fact that they don't receive rewards at night, Thief Li is not in Nanyuan now, and has fled into the surrounding mountains.

The thieves are too scattered, and the mountains are so high that our army is short of food and grass. If we search the mountains, we may run out of food and grass.

Li Thief is not what it used to be today, if our army leaves here, Li Thief will definitely come back to help and turn the tiger away from the mountain! "Sun Chuanting frowned and said his own opinion.

　The second largest chapter is here, and [-] words will be updated today! ! !Thanks a lot! ! !
