Chapter Two Hundred and Twenty: The Old Man Without Deception (Seventh)

Construction is ongoing.

Ye Chunqiu didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

When the sky was getting night, the vast army and horses set off. Most of these people were dressed in rags. Qian Qian led the soldiers to be honest. He even found a horse for Ye Chunqiu and asked Ye Chunqiu to ride. Ye Chunqiu rode his horse staggeringly, supervising hundreds of soldiers out of the camp and moving towards the direction where the moon rose.

He thought about many possibilities, many of these soldiers were undernourished, but he didn't know if they had night blindness, or he was just supervising the worker.

Huangshuitan is actually a bay, seven miles away from the water village. The soldiers complained along the way, and even Zhao Xi couldn't stand it. He said, "My benefactor, everyone has built the archway for a day in the day. Oh, it's a bit unbearable. Of course, I also know that the matter of my benefactor is important, but people always have to rest." He lowered his voice and couldn't help but complain to the evil commander and foreman: "Commander Qian is too polite to brothers. It was fine before, but since he took the seventh concubine, he has become even worse."

Uh... Ye Chunqiu was speechless. It seems that the command of money is really hard, and this is really not a good role model.

When I arrived at Huangshui Beach, I was so dark that I could no longer see anything. I lit bonfires and torches around and urged to work. Since I wanted to build defense, of course I was to find the easiest place to dig traps. The trap was fine. This was a beach, and digging pits were easy to handle.

But Ye Chunqiu still felt that it was insufficient. Zhao Xi, who was standing by, hesitated and said: "My benefactor, really thinks that the Japanese pirates will attack? If you really land here, you will be afraid of the trap alone. If you can lay a layer of turmeric under the sand and stones, it would be better."

Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't you say tinea oil earlier? Is there any in Hainingwei?"

Zhao Xi seemed ashamed: "There are, there are. Before leaving, the commander gave a special order. Chunqiu needs everything. As long as you have money, it is easy to handle. Well, there are tincture oil, gunpowder, and nail thorns. Only Chunqiu wants to get it. No commander can't do it. One pound of tincture oil is one liang, and gunpowder is more expensive, but three liang. Nail thorns are easy to deal with. Ten pounds of gunpowder are given thirty pieces. The commander also ordered that if Chunqiu wants to play big, it is not impossible to squat the tiger cannon. It's just a little difficult to handle. It can't be done without ten days and half a month. And the risk is very high. Once discovered by someone, there will be many troubles, so...so... at least one thousand liang..." Zhao Xi scratched his head: "My benefactor...oh...there is this kind of money commander. He can always have a way, that is...that's right...will not blame me."

What should Ye Chunqiu say? Should he say it? Well, he probably knew that the inland garrisons were all bastards. Now, the Ming Dynasty's garrison system has become unreasonable because of the long-term reign. It is common for officers and generals in the guard to embezzle private land, deduct military pay, and even bully men and women. However, this thing is just heard of, and now he has finally seen what ** is.

Is there any tincture oil and gunpowder?

In any case, it is the responsibility of the cabinet masters to purify military discipline, and it has nothing to do with him. Now Ye Chunqiu is only thinking about the fierce battle that will come July 13th, okay, I bought it.

Ye Chunqiu gritted his teeth: "Go back and tell Commander Qian that there are fifty kilograms of gunpowder, one hundred and fifty kilograms of tinea oil, and three hundred nails. I can only pay another 250 taels of silver. If there is more, there will be no more. He is not allowed to bargain. At this price, if he refuses, I will not buy it."

Zhao Xi quickly responded and told everyone to do work.

Working at night is of course a bit unreasonable.

But the next day, these people were pulled away, and more than a hundred people came. These people were patrol patrols and scouts, so Qian Qian asked them to sleep well, and then rushed by Qian Qian. Everyone brought dry food and was full of energy. They also brought Ye Chunqiu words, saying that gunpowder and tinctures could be delivered at night, but the nails were about to come. In short... Although Qian Commander got into Qian's eyes, he was indeed a fair deal and was free from deception.

Ye Chunqiu began to think about it.

I searched for many ways to bury dark thunders and traps in my mind, and then taught these Qiu Ba and taught them to make a try. After a whole day, the entrance of the beach had roughly looked a little bit, and Ye Chunqiu was already tired and exhausted. When Zhao Xi was dim, he brought people to "construction". Ye Chunqiu ordered them to do something and went back to the camp with the scouts to rest.

There are three days left. To be precise, Ye Chunqiu felt that time was urgent. He had some supper in the camp and fell asleep. His current responsibilities were like a supervisor. After taking out the money, Qian Qian, the big contractor, was responsible for dispatching. He still had credit. As long as he gave money, he seemed to be willing to do anything. The dispatch was quite well organized. He could even work in three shifts. Who was the first and second half of the night? In order to deal with the ambassador, who was the turn of stomachache and dizzy today. In addition, in order to deal with the possible danger, he had to send additional scouts, which seemed to make the ambassador go around.

In short, the archway was being repaired. Although the progress was slower, Ye Chunqiu could vaguely hear a lot of dissatisfaction from the ambassador. However, for the officers and soldiers in the guards, Qian Qian was their real immediate boss. How long can the ambassador supervise them? So after all, it was Qian Qian's private soldiers, fighting the autumn wind in various ways.

But on the third day, Ambassador Tang seemed to be furious. In front of the gate of the water camp, he personally asked someone to hold a dozing soldier who was dozing off while repairing the archway and tied it up and sucked it hard.

Ambassador Tang gathered many people together, his face was ferocious, and he did not give any face to Qian Qian on the side. When the soldier was already in a state of silence, he began to speak loudly: "In this Hainingwei, there is no big deal to do this archway. This is to welcome Lord Dusi. If you foolish idiots dare to delay the construction period, this person is a role model. Lord Dusi will return triumphantly after some more days. Could it be that your water village will rely on this to welcome Lord Dusi?"

After he said that, he glanced at Qian Qian from the corner of his eyes. Qian Qian smiled with a very honest and honest old farmer face in front of Ambassador Tang.

Ambassador Tang sneered: "To be honest, if there is any mistake in this archway, no matter who it is, we will pursue it to the end. This great official in Haining Guard will report it according to the truth when Lord Dusi arrives." After that, he turned his sleeves and left.

As soon as the Ambassador Tang left, everyone was shocked when he looked at the comrade-comrade-tethered at the gate. Someone ran to Qian Qian and said, "Sir, should you put Wu Laoliu down and send him to treat the wounds?"
