Zhou Yuesheng picked up a porcelain bowl full of white rice and sat on the mound of soil, and ate it with taste.

The rice is filled with fried pork slices with bamboo shoots, and it is mouth-watering.

This is the sixteenth day of his arrival in Texas, and the food is as good as ever, and it makes people full of energy.

Zhou Yuesheng was still very depressed when he was selected to increase the team of craftsmen in Nanjing, but now it seems that this is a rare beauty.

"Lao Zhou, how old is your kid this year, has he married a daughter-in-law?"

Zhou Yuesheng turned his head to look and saw that it was Zhao Fu who spoke, so he smiled and said: "That kid in my family is just fourteen this year, and he is not in a hurry to marry his mother-in-law." ”

"Ah, why do you say that? Fourteen's baby is not small. ”

Zhao Fu stuffed the rice grains stuck to the corners of his mouth into his mouth and chewed them, and suggested: "The sooner this kind of thing is done, the better, if you marry a daughter-in-law at fourteen, you can hold your grandson at fifteen." ”

Zhou Yuesheng's face turned red, and he sighed: "How can I marry my son without money, craftsmen like us, it's not easy to save money, I want to wait." ”

Zhao Fu pursed his mouth and said, "Look at you, why are you still the same as before?" If you want me to say, you will be able to get together the money for your son to marry a daughter-in-law when you go back from Shandong this time. ”

Zhou Yuesheng glanced at Zhao Fu angrily and said, "You Zhao donkey will make fun of me." Why can I get rich when I go back from Shandong this time? ”

"Hey, didn't you hear what Lord He said? Let's build a fortress with a reward of silver, build a dozen down, the reward is not enough for you to marry your son's daughter-in-law? ”

"Phew, those adults say the same thing as a fart, can you believe it?"

Zhou Yuesheng's mouth was crooked.

"You Zhao donkey is really easy to deceive."

"Lao Zhou, why are you scolding, I can't believe it just because Lord He draws a big cake. The key is to repair the fortress and share the reward is the will of His Majesty the Emperor. Lao Xu of Longjiang Shipyard, remember, he has earned almost twenty taels of silver in the past two months, tsk, that's real silver! ”

Zhou Yuesheng's two eyes widened like cowbells: "Twenty taels of silver? It's true? ”

"I'll lie to you, if you don't believe it, you can go back and ask Lao Xu."

Zhao Fu smashed it and said: "Since His Majesty the Emperor has promised it, he will naturally not regret it, and you have no jokes." I thought that the reward we would get would not be less than that of Lao Xu, and if I could have twenty taels of silver, I would buy the shop in Qinghefang and sell it out. ”

Artisan households rely on their crafts to eat, and their sources of income are very simple. Zhao Fu was afraid that he would starve to death when he was old, so he thought about buying a shop to rent out and living by collecting rent.

"Or you Zhao donkey has a lot of ideas."

Zhou Yuesheng sighed and said: "It's just that the world is too chaotic now, and I don't know if I have earned money or not." ”

Zhao Fu patted his round belly, and said with a grin: "Lao Zhou, you are too worried, there is a high top when the sky falls, why can't I hit you." ”

"That's just as well."

Zhou Yuesheng put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, lay down on the mound and closed his eyes to rest.

Although I can only squint for a while, it is better than nothing. There's still a lot of work to do in the afternoon.

At present, although they are assigned dozens of helpers, they are all laymen who do not know how to work in masonry and masonry, and they have to guide them in everything, which is really tiring.

Zhou Yuesheng finally felt sleepy, and he felt that someone was shaking him violently.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and in front of him was Zhao Fu, and said angrily: "Zhao Donkey, what are you doing?" ”

"Brother Zhou, the cavalry, the cavalry is here!"

Zhou Yuesheng said angrily: "What's wrong with the cavalry?" It must have been sent by General Qin for questioning. ”

"No, it's a Tartar, it's a Tartar!"

Zhao Fu's face was as white as paper, and his hands trembled.

Zhou Yuesheng saw that he was pretending to be decent, and deliberately laughed: "Tartar is here?" That's to drive them away. With General Qin here, you're still worried about a fart! ”

Zhao Fu shook his head violently: "But General Qin's soldiers are all in Dezhou City, and far water can't quench your thirst!" ”

Although the fortress will garrison troops in the future, it will not send troops to garrison it until it is built, and Zhao Fu will say so.

Zhou Yuesheng only felt that something was wrong, turned his head to look into the distance, and was immediately stunned.

Tartars, it's really the Tartar cavalry coming!

It turned out that Zhao Fu didn't joke with him!

What to do? What now?

Escape? How can they outrun the Tatar cavalry on two legs.

Fighting? If the fortress is built, it can be reluctantly tried, but now that the fortress wall is not yet one person high, how can it be defended.

Zhou Yuesheng only felt desperate.

Dozens of people in the fort were panicked and subconsciously shrunk into a ball.

They have all heard of the brutality of the Manchurian Tatars, and it is said that everywhere they go is in ruins.

Those people who were taken captive by the Tartars would become the Tartars' clothed slaves, unconditionally farming the Tartars, and enduring the wanton beatings and scolding of the Tartars, with no dignity at all.

What awaits them?

The crowd didn't dare to think about it!

Most of them have families, and if they are taken captive by the Tartars, what will happen to their wives and children?

God, why are you so ruthless?

They did not know that this group of Tartar cavalry consisted of only ten in all, and that they were scouts sent by Kyorophahana to scout this generation.

After the defeat in Texas, Kyorobahana was severely reprimanded by Dolgon, and his status in the flag was greatly reduced because of the serious losses of his armor soldiers.

Jueluo Bahana suffered such a great grievance, so he vowed to personally lead his troops back and take Texas a snow shame.

To this end, Kyorabhana sent a hundred scouts to the outskirts of Texas to reconnoiter in order to gather sufficient information to make up the mind of the regent.

The last Texas fiasco was because the intelligence work was not done well, and Kyaw Lo Bahana had already learned his lesson.

These ten horsemen are part of the hundred scouts, and the scope of investigation is in this area.

They saw from afar that a fortress was being built, so they rode in to see what was going on.

However, they did not continue when they were about fifty paces away from the fortress, probably because they were worried that there were Ming troops stationed in the fortress.

The purpose of their trip was to investigate, and since the purpose of the investigation had been achieved, there was naturally no need to cause more trouble.

After wandering around the perimeter of the fortress, they turned their horses and left.

"Old Zhou, Old Zhou! Do you hear it, the sound of horses' hooves is far away! ”

Zhao Fu was the first to find out, and he shook Zhou Yuesheng's arm desperately and said excitedly.

Zhou Yuesheng opened his eyes and turned his head to look, but he couldn't see anything except the rolling yellow dust.

The Tartars are really gone!

God has opened your eyes!

Zhou Yuesheng's hanging heart finally landed, and he hugged Zhao Fu and cried with joy.

Everyone vented their emotions, but Zhao Fu reminded: "We have to hurry back to Dezhou City to report this matter to General Qin, in case the Tartar turns back again, we won't be able to run away!" ”
