There is a saying: If you don't go to the Great Wall, you are not a hero. In this life, when I stood on the Great Wall again, my heart was turbulent and full of emotion.

The Great Wall is the precious crystallization of thousands of years of Chinese civilization, the root and soul of the survival and development of the people of the Central Plains, and the witness and participant of the Chinese sons and daughters in resisting aggression! As a son and daughter of China, I can't help but feel deeply.

In particular, now I want to be personally involved in the construction and perfection of the Great Wall, this is not a visit, not a tour, but to integrate my own painstaking efforts, thoughts and even souls into the bricks and stones of the Great Wall.

During the Warring States period, the weakest Yan State was harassed by the rest of the princes and grassland peoples, and in order to protect itself, it began to build the Great Wall. Qi, Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin and other countries followed suit and built the Great Wall one after another. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, the Great Wall of various countries was connected, forming a majestic building that stretches from the Yalu River in the east to Jiayuguan in the west.

In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng supervised the construction of the Great Wall by Qi Jiguang in order to pass the defense, which is the one that remains in modern times. The Great Wall of all dynasties in history is actually in ruins. And the section I am currently urging to repair is the Juyongguan and Badaling Great Wall that Qi Jiguang led the construction of back then.

This move echoes with Zhang Juzheng's whip method, which is cause and effect of each other, and the two are inseparable from each other. Through the construction and reinforcement of the Great Wall and the implementation of a whip law, external tranquility and internal prosperity were achieved, in order to realize the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

And the people used this time are all hired by the nearby government, which is the biggest difference from the previous dynasty. In order to build the Great Wall, Qin Shi Huang requisitioned a large number of people's husbands, which made people angry and resentful, and there was an allusion to Meng Jiangnu crying on the Great Wall. Although this is just a story, and it is inevitable that there are elements of fabrication, but putting aside subjective imagination and assumptions, we can guess that behind the story, the world's resistance and resistance to the huge project of Qin Shi Huang at that time.

Today, the farmers are hired and it happens to be the winter slack time, and the farmers are happy to increase their income in this way. Moreover, with the implementation of the whip law, the peasants were liberated from the land, and they avoided the oppression of forced labor, and the relatively abundant free time made them more willing to devote themselves to engineering or trade, which was also the fundamental prerequisite for the budding development of capitalism in the Ming Dynasty.

Sometimes I even wonder if Zhang Juzheng had died ten years late, or if Zhu Yijun of the Mingshenzong had not overthrown Zhang Juzheng's reforms, would China have developed along the already budding capital economic model? Will it start from the Ming Dynasty and follow a different path of development like the European Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution?

History has no ifs, but today I'm involved in it, can I do anything about it?

A series of questions made me a little confused. When he came back to his senses, he saw that the people were energetically cooperating with the soldiers, transporting pieces of stones to high places, adding them to suitable places on the city wall, and then mixing them with mud, lime and other substances.

The cooperating troops came from Jizhou, and it was originally someone else, but Ye Sizhong took the initiative to invite Ying and led the team to come to cooperate with me.

I and this general, who is half my size, have gone through so many things, and we are still incompatible. When he saw me looking at the Minfu stone below, he smiled and said, "This is the benefit of starting work in winter!" ”

I nodded. Ye Sizhong continued: "The Great Wall of the Qin period was mainly made of earth and stone, and it was transported by vehicle, needless to mention. Since our dynasty, the Great Wall has been paved with long stones, but the long stones are extremely heavy, and it is extremely difficult to carry and climb. ”

Ye Sizhong pointed to the side of the distant mountain and said with a smile: "When Qi Dudu built the Wangjing Tower, because the terrain was too steep, many people were crushed to death by carrying long stones, but they were never successful. Later, there is a folk legend, saying that Qi Dudu sincerely moved the heavens, and the Jade Emperor sent Erlang God to help, so as to petrify the sheep, and rush to the mountain! ”

This is the first time I've heard of this legend, so I laughed a few times and asked, "Is that Erlang God really three-eyed?" ”

Ye Sizhong also laughed, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Qilan is such an interesting person! Where is there any Erlang God? But the sheep does. ”

I sighed and said with interest, "Tell me about it!" ”

Ye Sizhong smiled and pointed to a hillside and said: "Goats are very good at rock climbing, and they all go up a hillside like that." Qi Dudu ordered stones to be tied to several goats, driven up the mountain, and hung with ropes. It was much less effortless, but the speed was still not enough, and casualties still occurred from time to time. ”

I laughed and said, "I see! Then did you have the following solution? ”

Ye Sizhong smiled: "Exactly! Qi Du ordered people to splash the ground with water, the weather was cold, and the ice was immediately put on the ice! You see, from the foot of the mountain over there to the top of the mountain on this side, splashing water into ice is similar to a mirror! Then tie the stone with a rope, and the people can stand on the city wall and drag it, and the long stone can be transported to a high place! Therefore, the construction of the Great Wall was carried out in the middle of winter! ”

I nodded, looking at the long stones at the foot of the mountain that were constantly being dragged up the city wall by the people along the ice on the surface of the mountain, and sighed in my heart! This is the wisdom of the masses! People always pin their hopes on the mercy of God for things that are difficult to achieve, but they always forget that only the people are the real force that determines the fate of history!

During this time, I ate and lived in Juyongguan City, and lived with the sound of the trumpet day and night every day. As Zhang Juzheng said, this supervising the construction of the Great Wall is really a very hard thing, after a period of time, my face was blown open by the cold north wind, and my lips were even more dry and I didn't dare to speak, very painful.

However, by chance, I found that when the bat wing is run backwards, the cold energy feeds back the texture, but it will overcome the problem of wind blowing and losing water! After two days, the skin was as new as ever, which attracted Ye Sizhong and others to constantly look sideways, saying that I was well maintained. I'm so happy, isn't this my own beauty bag? I'm not afraid to come more of this kind of thing!

So in the past few days, I have tossed and turned these tricks of the psychic tricks, although there is no new discovery similar to "beauty and health care", but the understanding and experience of kung fu itself has been greatly deepened!

Especially the last style, the Eagle Feather Pose, made a qualitative leap in my control over the hidden weapon! If in my previous life, my understanding of hidden weapons still existed in the throwing and attacking, then after the double blessing of the Eagle Feather Style and the Cold Crystal Jue, I almost felt that the thin flying knife seemed to have spirituality, whether it was in the rotation of the fingertips, or the strength and angle of the throwing and ejection, it had been greatly improved.

This boost doesn't come from strength or lethality, it's a feeling of control! Every time the knife flew out, I seemed to feel that there was a thread between me and the flying knife! Until the knife hits or hits the air, I can sense it, and even predict it in advance! And I can feel the slightest bit of progress after each practice!

I am very happy with this achievement! I immersed myself in eagle feather practice almost every day. However, I soon discovered that blind throwing will not bring the slightest progress, you must find the target, use your skills, unite your mind, and hit the target in order to have that slightest sense of improvement! And a simple knife control can also be very beneficial.

So during this time, every day during the day, when I supervised the work on the city wall, I held a knife in my right hand and played with it at the tip of my finger! After a few days, the knife was like a nimble little snake, swimming between my fingers! Soon after, I started practicing with both hands, a knife in each hand!

The proficiency of the left hand is significantly lower than that of the right hand. But I'm not in a hurry, first, I have time; Second, I have patience. So after a while, I can split my heart and open the bow left and right!

Finally, one day, probably the day of the New Year's Day of the Gregorian calendar, I suddenly felt that I had encountered a hurdle in the skill of one knife in each hand, and no matter how much I exercised, it was difficult to save again! I knew that this was a bottleneck and that I might need to find another path before I could find an opportunity!

So I tried and started adding a throwing knife to each hand! The two packs of flying knives that my master gave me are light and thin, and it is very difficult to control, but I am sure that one flying knife per hand is definitely not the upper limit of the eagle feather style, so I started to practice double flying under the traction of the opportunity!

Everything is difficult at the beginning, this action has not been experienced in the previous life, so it belongs to a new skill!

is still the same sentence, as long as the kung fu is deep and the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, in the wax moon, the one-handed double knife and the two-handed four knife are already proficient! Hands waved, only to hear "Duo Duo! Duo! The two sets rang out in succession, leaving four dense throwing knives on the tree fifteen paces away!

There is a way that learning is not as good as good, and good is not as good as fun, and I really found fun in the practice of eagle feathers! And I found that three throwing knives in one hand is the limit of what I can control at the moment, and I can't play any more! I'm not in a hurry, it's not a hurry, take your time!

The construction of the Great Wall is progressing smoothly, but there is one thing that has always puzzled me very much, that is, two months after the start of construction, the probability of accidents has suddenly increased greatly! In the previous two months, there had been only three accidents, and the man was only injured, not fatal.

But in the third month of construction, three accidents suddenly occurred in succession, and a total of 11 people died! Although this casualty rate has always been very low, I still find it incomprehensible, as if there is a hand behind it! I don't think this was just an accident, but someone was playing tricks.

For example, on one occasion, before I started work, I asked the leader of the people to double-check the rope that was tethering and dragging the long stone to make sure that the rope was strong. The leader of the people also knew that human life was at stake, so he carefully examined each rope and made a mark after checking it to ensure that it was in good condition. But when I went to work the next day, the three ropes that tied a long stone were torn off one after another! Smash it down!

That long stone weighs more than a thousand pounds! The few people below couldn't dodge for a while, and they were smashed into meat puree in an instant!

When I sent someone to inspect it, the broken parts of the ropes with thick arms were half smooth and half rough, and someone must have cut half of them with a sharp object, but they broke when dragging the boulder and subjecting it to great force!

Another time, a few days after reinforcing the Guancheng Arrow Tower, the people of that team had collective diarrhea, and all kinds of treatments were ineffective, and even killed two! And we have always been extremely strict in the control of food, and there will never be the problem of expired spoilage, rot and mildew.

There must be ghosts! From that day on, I quietly asked the foreman to strengthen the management, and everything was inspected again before it could be implemented, so that although the efficiency decreased slightly, the safety was improved a lot. Although there were two accidents again, they were not fatal, so it can be seen that prevention is still very effective!

On the other hand, I asked Mo to take his intelligence team and disguise himself as a civilian man to blend into the construction team, and I believe he will definitely give me an answer!

I stood at the head of the city, looking at the remnant sun like blood, and I was very sure in my heart - no matter who is behind the troublemaker, since you want to block me, then don't blame me for adding a grave for you!
