"Master, what does this symbol mean?" Wei'er came over and asked holding a manuscript. His serious look looked like a good student in elementary school.
"This symbol represents force. It is used to measure the size of force. Lifting two kilograms of something one meter high is one unit of force." Wan Lei had no choice but to explain and demonstrate with examples. However, this did not eliminate Wei'er.
Confused, she asked another question that was even more difficult to answer: "Why do you use this ghost symbol to express it and use Chinese characters to express invisibility?"
"Well, this is my personal habit. These ghost-drawing symbols are easy to draw, and I can understand them at a glance."
"Oh, Master, you are used to it, but others are not." Wei'er complained in a low voice, then took out another manuscript and asked: "Then what is this one full of ghost symbols?"
"This is the periodic table of elements. All substances are included in this table. Each symbol corresponds to a Chinese character. Just read it according to the pronunciation of the Chinese characters." It must be said that chicken intestine script has a natural ability to represent various chemical, mathematical and physical symbols.
The advantage is that it is so simple and easy to draw. If you use Chinese characters to write it, it will take a long time to write it.
"Didn't you say that there are only five elements in the world: gold, wood, water, fire, and earth? How come there are more than a hundred kinds here?" Wei'er continued to break the casserole and asked.
"Write this down first, and explain it later. By the way, focus on these few, and you can leave out the others for now." Wan Lei was now like teaching the theory of relativity to a kindergarten child, one big and two big.
"So many?" Wei'er saw that Wan Lei had clicked on a dozen small grids on the paper, and her head was also big.
"These are common elements, such as gold, silver, copper and iron. We can see them every day. Of course, you must remember them. You will be the first mentor I appoint in the future, so you must learn from them." Wan Lei
He gave Wei'er an encouraging look, his expression was very much like that of the Big Big Wolf who specializes in deceiving lazy sheep.
"Sister Wei'er, don't listen to his bluffing. This guy is a big liar. He will pretend to be a ghost and fool others. Now there are rumors in the city of Beiping that he is the son of Ksitigarbha. The more rumors spread, the more evil he is. We still
Just ignore him." I don't know when, Zhao Xueer came in, but she has always been a good-looking person like Wan Lei.
"Why did you come back again? Weren't you asked to help at the military doctor's office? If you dare to be lazy again, you won't be allowed to eat." Wan Lei asked very unhappy.
"I've finished my work in the Military Medical Department. Come back and see what other tricks you are trying to trick people into." Zhao Xueer picked up the teapot and drank it all before saying, "My great master said that he will leave Peiping tomorrow.
Back to Laoshan, you are so busy, there is no need to see him off."
"He didn't die, so why should I send him a favor?" Wan Lei rolled his eyes at Zhao Xueer and said, "I have learned martial arts, but I don't know what it means to save the world and the people. Humph, I have grown so many white beards in vain.
"
"Oh, if you dare to speak ill of my great master, be careful I tell him."
"Go on, go on. It's best to get out right away. The old and the young are all dishonest people." Wan Lei blasted him mercilessly.
"What do you mean by not doing your job properly? We are cultivating our minds and natures. It's not like you. You don't cultivate yourself, but you talk all day about harmonizing the family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world. You put the cart before the horse." Like an angry rooster, Zhao Xueer immediately retorted.
"Your fierce appearance can be regarded as cultivating your mind and character? Then I'm convinced. I'll be careful not to find my husband-in-law to be an old Taoist nun in the future."
"I would rather be a Taoist nun than marry a stinky man like you."
Wan Lei rolled his eyes at Zhao Xueer, and had no choice but to carry forward the spirit of a good man not to fight with women and ignore her. And she wanted to provoke a new dispute, but she saw a messenger hurried into the lobby and whispered in Wan Lei's ear
After whispering a few words, Wan Lei suddenly stood up from the Grand Master's chair, threw away the book in his hand, and said to Wei'er: "Clean up this place immediately and move all our things back to the inn."
The reason why Wan Lei was so anxious was because Tie Xuan sent someone to report that reinforcements from Shandong would arrive soon. This army belonged to the vanguard of the imperial court's northern expedition, with fifty thousand cavalry, led by General Du.
Commander——Sheng Yong.
Wan Lei didn't know much about this military commander, but he knew one thing. The commander-in-chief was a senior military attache, and it was impossible to tolerate him, a person who was not even an officer, pointing fingers at him. Therefore, he very wisely stepped out of the way.
Mingzhe stepped aside to protect himself, and the defense of Peking was temporarily handed over to Tie Xuan.
Of course, although the reinforcements have arrived, it is still unclear whether they can enter the city, because there are still hundreds of thousands of Yan-Meng coalition troops outside the city. If you want to enter the city, you have to ask them if they are willing to give way. According to Wan Lei's estimation,
Enemies are most likely to meet on a narrow road. The question now is, if the two armies draw their swords at each other at the city gate, should the city send troops to help?
This is a difficult decision. If Wan Lei was in charge of the battlefield, he would definitely not send troops to rescue him because the risk would be too high. If the enemy were to rush back into the city when the troops were sent out, it would be very unpleasant.
Okay. However, with Tie Xuan's personality, he will definitely send troops to cooperate with the reinforcements outside the city. In this way, the risk is as great as the opportunity.
In order not to give the enemy an opportunity, Wan Lei immediately rushed to the military camp and asked Zhou Tianshou to put the training on hold so that the troops could all be equipped and ready for war. Finally, Wan Lei also gave some instructions to the newly selected generals.
The main thing is to behave properly when meeting the generals. After all, they have not yet been certified by the court and are only temporary. They might be regarded as private soldiers. This is not what Wan Lei wants to see.
After finishing these tasks, bursts of war drums and shouts of killing came from the east of the city. Needless to say, the reinforcements were already fighting against the Yan army. When Wan Lei rushed to the east of the city to watch the battle, he unexpectedly discovered that the Yan army
It actually collapsed, and it collapsed almost immediately, as soft as paper. Compared with half a month ago, it was like heaven and earth.
The Yan army collapsed at the first touch, and the reinforcements naturally refused to let go of this good opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. They followed and fought fiercely, driving the Yan army to the military camp in the north of the city. However, due to the tight defense of the enemy camp, they finally
After calling for gold, the troops retreated, and a large group of cavalry rode towards the city gate.
Since the city gate has long been sealed by Wan Lei, people must be sent to demolish the wall now. Although Tie Xuan had already expected it and sent people to demolish the gate, the victorious troops under the city were still waiting to see the city gate.
He opened the door, getting a little impatient, and yelled at the top of the city tower, demanding that the door be opened immediately. Some of them were impatient, and even threatened to break in if they didn't open the door, which made the defenders in the city very unhappy.
After arguing for about half an hour, the north gate of Beiping City was finally opened. Tens of thousands of cavalry swarmed into the city, charging as if they were in an uninhabited land. The elders who were busy tearing down the wall were almost killed by them. They stood at the top of the city.
When Wan Lei saw this scene, he frowned because he expected that with the emergence of this army, the stability and unity of Beiping City would no longer exist.
"Who is the guard of Beiping City? Come and see me." The leader was a bearded warrior. Seeing his arrogant look, Wan Lei naturally stepped aside to avoid making trouble for himself.
"My official, Yin Tiexuan of Shuntian Prefecture, is temporarily supporting the guard of Beiping Town." Tiexuan could not hide, so he had to step forward obediently and salute, and asked, "Who are you?"
"This general is Wang Ning, the commander of the Shandong capital, and he is now the deputy vanguard of the Northern Suppression Army. Are you the only official in Peiping? Where are the other officials? Why don't you come to greet me?" Without the treatment of a group of officials coming to congratulate him, Wang
The deputy vanguard was very unhappy. He had just won a big victory.
"My colleagues are temporarily unavailable to greet us. When will the general vanguard, General Sheng, arrive?" Tie Xuan asked urgently. He didn't want to keep the city gate open for too long. If the Yan army took the opportunity to attack, it would be bad.
"General Sheng will be arriving soon. Why don't you hurry up and order people to tidy up so that we can welcome the army into the city."
"Yes, I will go and take care of it now." Tie Xuan had no choice but to go down and take care of the matter. After all, the general is a second-grade commanding officer, and his rank is one level higher than him. The so-called higher rank kills people, this
There is no reason for it, and he is still a general leading troops, so if you offend him, there will be no good consequences.
Wan Lei didn't want to get involved in the complicated matters in the officialdom. On his way back to the inn on foot, he saw many people being driven out of the government offices where they had stayed for many days, and became refugees living on the streets without anyone caring about them. Wan Lei
Lei wanted to rescue them, but he had no choice but to speak softly. He could only appeal to the residents in the city to carry forward the spirit of mutual help and give the refugees a place to live.
Fortunately, Wan Lei still had some popularity, and his words were of some use. Soon, the refugees crowded into the homes of ordinary residents. As for whether their future lives would be settled, it could only be decided one step at a time. Wan Lei was right
This is because we have more ambition than strength. Fortunately, the military pay and silver rewards were distributed early in the morning, and the people still have some savings, so no one will starve to death in a short time.
Compared with the residents of Peiping who have money and food, Wan Lei can be considered a pauper. He has been "supervising the army" for more than half a month, and the food and salary passed through his hands is no less than hundreds of thousands of taels, but he has no personal money.
Liu, now he has no money on him, and even food and accommodation are a problem. Fortunately, the innkeeper is still kind and righteous and does not kick him out on the spot, otherwise he will really live on the street.
"Brother Wan, come out and take a look. There's chaos over there in the military camp." There was a knock on the door from Zhao Xueer outside the room.
"What's going on?" Wan Lei asked with a frown. He had expected chaos in the city, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
"The new soldiers are fighting with our soldiers over the barracks."
"Ah, is there such a thing?!" Wan Lei was anxious now. Just as he was about to go out, he remembered that he had no position and power now, so it was better not to stand out, so he said to Zhao Xueer: "Go find Zhou Tianshou and Zhao Quanjie and let them go.
They will discuss it with Master Tie."
"If you weren't there, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to suppress the formation." Zhao Xueer said again.
"If you can't suppress the formation, you have to suppress it. Their soldiers will push out." Wan Lei dropped this sentence and closed the door again. He finally understood why the Yan army collapsed at the first touch just now, because they wanted to let the reinforcements
He entered the city and let the reinforcements mess up the city, but he himself had to watch helplessly and could do nothing.
