Chapter 0054 Crying Breaking the Wall
Seeing that Zhang Junhou was a little panicked, Yun Xiaoshui felt that something was wrong, and he was already a little interested in Meng Jiangnu crying about the Great Wall, so he wanted to get to the bottom of it at this time.
However, Yun Xiaoshui also thought of it, and he couldn't ask this soldier directly to the depths, for fear that he wouldn't be able to ask anything other than what he reported to the imperial court.
So, Yun Xiaoshui came up with a plan, under the banner of the First Emperor, and said that His Majesty sent him to secretly investigate some strange things to corroborate Meng Jiangnu's affairs in order to confirm that Meng Jiangnu was a demon girl and crying down the Great Wall to harm Daqin.
He pulled Zhang Junhou to the side, and said on his back: "Junhou!" Don't you know, I was ordered by Your Majesty to secretly investigate the abnormal things of Meng Jiangnu and her husband Fan Xilang, you know everything you have to say, and I will return to Your Majesty when the time comes! β
Zhang Junhou looked at Yun Xiaoshui and felt that such a prodigy master wouldn't tell nonsense, so he nodded solemnly, as if he had just understood what the truth was.
"The two questions I just asked, tell me what you know!"
"Meng Jiangnu had been here for nearly half a month before jumping into the crack, and she hadn't heard any news from her husband Fan Xilang for the first ten days, and in fact, no one really knew. Fan Xilang did not see anyone alive or dead. Even the little thing that the last general knew was also inadvertently said by the captain during a meeting in the ministry! β
"What?" Yun Xiaoshui asked urgently, he was obviously a little urgent.
"It's the last general who is going to tell the adults slowly! Let's also come back to the Meng Jiangnu, on the morning of the eleventh day when he came here, she began to cry profusely, crying against the city wall, crying on her knees, crying on her knees, crying against the tiles of the wall, and crying beating the ground. I cried until the sky was dark, flying sand and rocks.
She cried to the ground for two days, lightning and thunder began to rain heavily, she still cried in the wind and rain, and by noon, the southern section of the city wall of Shanhaiguan collapsed, revealing many bones inside. One of them seemed to be tied with wire, and its mouth was filled with a silk cloth.
Meng Jiangnu found a jade gourd from the hand bones of the skeleton, and it turned out that the jade gourd was the object of love between the two, and it was given to Fan Xilang by Meng Jiangnu. Meng Jiangnu picked up the skeleton and cried even more hoarsely, and the terrible wailing lasted until noon on the third day.
There was another loud 'boom', and the hundreds of miles long city wall north of Shanhaiguan suddenly sank, and this crack appeared on the ground in an instant. Then Meng Jiangnu howled, picked up the bones, and jumped into the cracks in the ground. β
"Then why did Fan Xilang die?"
"I don't know! The guards here have changed several times. Just listening to the Meng Jiangnu crying and saying, Fan Xilang's bones are different from the shape of other people, his hands are behind his back, his legs, feet and bodies are tied vertically to a large stone with iron wire, and his mouth is clogged with silk cloth, and he died so miserably and unjustly!
'Not tired to death, not sick to death, but buried alive?' At that time, everyone was extremely surprised when they heard the cry of the Meng Jiangnu! It's just that Meng Jiangnu is crazy and a banshee, and no one dares to think about it more! β
"Uh-that?"
"It's over!"
"These words are the end of the matter when they reach the master craftsman, and that's it! Don't tell anyone more, or you'll be killed!" Remember? β
"Remember, remember! Thank you for your advice! β
Looking at Zhang Junhou's well-behaved appearance, Yun Xiaoshui couldn't bear to lie to him anymore, so he left the matter behind and concentrated on rebuilding the Great Wall.
Winter has already begun, and it is already a place of snow and ice. To build the Great Wall, the earth and stone had to be transported from a distance, and the nearby ones were basically used up. This pushes the time and effort of transportation to the limit.
"Master Craftsman! The First Emperor is in such a hurry, how can we complete it on schedule? Listening to Zhang Junhou's anxious tone, Yun Xiaoshui was also included in their wall repair army, that is to say, if the task could not be completed as scheduled, Yun Xiaoshui would have the same responsibility as the servant and the soldier.
In fact, this is the wishful thinking of that Zhang Junhou, Yun Xiaoshui is only a technical supervision, or a Qincha, if the project cannot be completed when it expires, the first emperor will not punish him. What can punish his craftsmen is that they can't build a solid city wall!
Yun Xiaoshui took the four guards to a small hill on the site of the selected wall repair, looking at the continuous mountains in the distance, and his heart was surging. This great river and mountain should be guarded, but is it too much labor and money to protect it by building a big city wall?
After thinking for a while, Yun Xiaoshui couldn't figure out a clue, so he set his sights on the place that the working soldiers and servants had already selected, the place where the kiln burned bricks and the stone was drilled and lime was burned, and the stone was indeed far away from the place where the wall was built.
The original transportation methods were too slow, such as the winch and the rolling wood crowbar, and they were only suitable for bulky transportation over close distances.
"Oops, heyβmy ass is broken!" Suddenly, a shrill cry was heard not far away, and there was a group of soldiers hunting a herd of hares, not riding horses, running and shooting. There happened to be a young soldier who slipped on the frozen bluestone ground, fell far away, and fell with his hooves facing the sky.
Yun Xiaoshui looked at the others laughing, he didn't laugh along, but a thought flashed in his heart, "I found a good way to transport it quickly!" β
"Young Master! What's the best way to do it? Hey, it's dangerous...... "I saw Frost and Gu Yue flying in front of Yun Xiaoshui left and right, and one person shot down one arrow with his sword, and two arrows shot at Yun Xiaoshui.
This change frightened Yun Xiaoshui, inside and outside the hunting ground, if he was shot, was it intentional or accidental? Who can tell? The four of their personal guards were not lightly frightened, even more frightened than Yun Xiaoshui himself!
Zhang Junhou made a big move to examine the dozens of hunting soldiers one by one, all competing to shoot hares, who is going to shoot the master of the craftsman? Many people said they didn't see the prodigy maker in the vicinity at all.
Obviously, no one can be found! Based on that scene alone, the two arrows should have been stray arrows, unintentionally shot away. But if you look at the accuracy of the arrow, one cannot help but suspect that the assassin did it intentionally, with the intention of murder!
Yun Xiaoshui asked Zhang Junhou to release the soldiers, and then summoned officers at all levels to a meeting with the engineering supervisors. Yun Xiaoshui announced his own transportation method, which is to open up a direct road from the place where the wall was built to the brick kiln, lime kiln and stone quarry, and then pour water on the road surface to make a layer of ice on the road.
No matter how heavy the stones, lime baskets and bricks, they can be slid across the ice, which is labor-saving and fast, greatly speeding up the progress of the project.
Zhang Jun waited for them and the officials to oversee the work, and they were overjoyed to ensure that the project was completed within the time limit set by the First Emperor.
The letter submitted to the First Emperor in the army called Yun Xiaoshui's transportation method "Shenlu Skating and Hauling Method", and I don't know which military Chinese book gave the name, which is quite vivid, even Yun Xiaoshui praised it, "Really talented!" β
Yun Xiaoshui has made meritorious contributions again!
However, this time he was not rewarded by Qin Shi Huang. Yun Xiaoshui was surprised and depressed, "This has never happened before!" Why? β
Yun Xiaoshui was puzzled, and was about to hurry back to the capital, together with Fan Xilang and other nine scholars to ask Qin Shi Huang about the dragon vein, however, before he left, the first emperor's holy decree arrived.
Qin Shi Huang ordered Yun Xiaoshui to rush to Baomaguan first to provide transportation technical support for the wall-repairers there, and then rush to Jiayuguan, where the construction of the pass gate has not yet begun!
"Holy! So that the young master of death will not pay for his life! This is the rhythm of not being allowed to go home! β
