Leaving the Shoufu Mansion, my heart was quite uneasy all the way. Although I know that these things actually have nothing to do with me, and even if they do, they have something to do with the previous "me", but I still can't let go of it for a long time in my heart.

The reason is very simple, the image of Zhang Juzheng in my heart has always been the image of Shoufu who covers the sky with one hand, but what he said today undoubtedly shows his emotional side. is the so-called heroic shortness of breath and long love for children, such iron-clad tenderness is the most trembling and the most difficult to control.

It was night, I held the frost, and I realized in my heart what Zhang Juzheng said, I was hurt by love in those years. I unconsciously thought of Li Huamei, is this girl really the person I hit?

When he let go of his attachment and began to practice the Han Jing Jue, he suddenly remembered the fight with Zhang Juzheng today and felt the feeling he had learned from the Yuanyang Jue. That kind of strength to yang, although the two sides are violently fighting, but in fact did not cause any damage, and even because the strength of the two sides is of the same origin, it is quite beneficial to each other.

I wonder if there was a precept from the Yin and Yang initiates when the miraculous ancestor divided the exercises into two. Of course, I can't do it yet, so let's practice my cold crystal trick first!

It's night, there's nothing to say.

The next morning, the Yellow Gate came to the palace, and it was at the behest of the Son of Heaven to arrange the tolerance.

Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said that the set will not be mentioned, the overall meaning is that I immediately report to the military department, listen to the dispatch of the military department, preside over the construction and reinforcement of the Great Wall of Juyongguan, and set off immediately after receiving the order, without delaying Yunyun.

I received the order, and thought about it, since there must be no delay, let's go. But this day happened to be the winter solstice. According to the decree at the time, the winter solstice was a rest day, and the military headquarters did not go to work.

I didn't know before, but in ancient times, people had no days off at work. Only now, I understood, there is!

During the Han Dynasty, according to the regulations, officials took a bath every 5 days. The so-called "Mu" means to take a bath and rest.

In the Tang Dynasty, it was changed to a holiday on the 10th, that is, three days off per month, divided into the first, middle and second months, which was called Shanghuan, Zhonghuan and Xiahuan at that time. "Huan" means to wash your body and hair, and to sum it up, it is almost the words of taking a bath and resting.

But in the Ming Dynasty, the stern and rigid Zhu Yuanzhang figured out another holiday mode, according to the "Ancient and Modern Affairs Examination" record: the first day of the National Dynasty has five days off, three days of the winter solstice, and ten days of the Lantern Festival, adding up to a total of 18 days. According to this system, in the summer, except for the emperor's vacation system, which allowed him to take a summer vacation, there were no more holidays such as "Sundays" for other officials. As for any small long vacations and the like, they don't exist at all. It can be seen that it is still modern!

But the decree says, "Do it now, and I will do it now." Since the military department is not at work, I will go to the military department Shangshu's house to report!

Riding a horse, I first ran to Dashilar, not for anything else, I "bought" the string of ruby pendants from Qinglian and Yuhe before, and I just went to pick it up today and carefully packed it. I brought a pair of opal earrings and sapphire rings, paid the money, and then took the unrepentant and the nine ghosts to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War.

No regrets and Nine Ghosts are very happy to come with me, because they usually have to learn foreign languages according to the schedule, which is a great torture for these people who are coarse and literate. But I don't care about this, I have to learn anyway. Once, when I was eating, I didn't regret asking why I didn't study. I am proud to tell him that his TOEFL score is 1005!

No remorse ask me what is TOEFL. I told him to tell him when he had memorized 2,000 words. No remorse.

The Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty did not get stuck in traffic, nor did they need to go to the Fifth Ring Road, everyone was within the Second Ring Road, and it would not be long before they arrived.

Stirrups dismounted, and someone came to pick up my "future uncle" horse, and enthusiastically led us into the inner hall. Knowing that I was coming, Mrs. Li and Li Huamei were waiting, but I knew that Mrs. Li was waiting for this ruby pendant, and Li Huamei was waiting for me.

When I arrived in the East Courtyard, Li Zaixing was talking with his wife and daughter, and when he saw me coming, he immediately got up to greet him. Since we got acquainted, No Regret and Nine Ghost Masataka don't have to be "asked away" alone, but come in with me every time. After all, he doesn't regret getting married to me, and the Nine Ghosts are my confidants.

However, these two people were very polite, and every time they came in to greet them, they used the excuse that they had other things to do, and went to talk and eat with the people they knew, and they did not come to interfere with the few of us to say some other private words.

When there were only four of us left in the house, I first took out the ruby pendant and gave it to Mrs. Li. Mrs. Li was very happy, and asked Hua Mei to put it on for her at that time. Qinglian and Yuhe are particularly full of material on this skewer, and the workmanship is also fine, and the sun shines brightly, and the room is full of red light. Mrs. Li asked with a smile, what is the name of this pendant, and I replied: Meixia.

Mrs. Li is Dayue again. Before she left the cabinet, there was a Xia character in her name, so she felt that she had a relationship with this pendant, and she smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyes. Li Huamei glared at me with a smile and said that I knew how to make people happy, and the implication was that there was no her, so I took out the string of opal earrings and sapphire rings and gave it to her.

This opal is also a foreign product from Sofala, which is rare in the Ming Dynasty where the sea is forbidden, and Li Huamei also went happily.

When the two of them left, I went to Li Zaixing and began to discuss with him about the construction of the city. Li Zaixing's meaning, let me go to Qi Dudu, in this regard, the old Qi Fang is an expert. I suddenly felt a light in my eyes and decided to go tomorrow. Li Zaixing nodded in agreement, and said that he would let the military department Langzhong Qian Sili contact me, obey my dispatch, and complete the construction.

After finishing business, Li Huamei brought steaming dumplings. I just remembered that there is a tradition of eating dumplings on the winter solstice. Li Huamei gave me one and said with a smile: "Eat a few more nerds, build the Great Wall without freezing your ears!" ”

Li Zaixing and Mrs. Li, who were watching, couldn't stop laughing on the side. Naturally, I happily accepted the favor of the beauty and ate happily.

After eating, I said a few more words, I took my leave, I still have some things to explain when I go back, Li Huamei sent me straight to the gate of the courtyard, and when I got on the horse and walked away, she turned around and went back.

That night, I called a few important subordinates from all walks of life to arrange for my absence, and everyone received their own orders. After saying that, everyone left, and I privately called the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao and told him that he would gradually start to transfer the materials in the Ming Dynasty overseas, and don't make a noise or be too obvious.

The Nine Ghosts have been with me for a long time, so they naturally knew that I had always had plans to leave, so I responded and quietly arranged not to mention it.

Early the next morning, Qian Sili came to report to me, and I asked him to go to the military department first, apply for military assistance, and then go to the household department to receive money and food. Three days later, we met in the Juyong Guancheng Mansion.

Chancelle was a neat young man, and after taking note of it, he quickly bowed.

I took a few people and rode out of the capital and went all the way to Jizhou in the east.

When he arrived at the courtyard of Panshan Qi Dudu, this old man was practicing martial arts, and a Qi family knife was vigorous. I watched it for a while, and when I saw him finish practicing, I shouted hello! Qi Dudu had already seen me, and said with a smile at this time: "Qilan is here!" ”

I say yes. So he went to sit in the side compartment with him.

I don't need to open my mouth, Qi Dudu's natural way I came to build and strengthen the Great Wall, and as soon as I started, he took out the drawings that had already been prepared, handed them to me, and told me eloquently.

The Great Wall of Juyongguan began from the first year of Hongwu to the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, and the general Xu Da sat in Beiping and personally planned the defense project of Beiping Town, laying the prototype of the Great Wall of Jizhen.

From the first year of Jingtai to the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, Emperor Jing of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and after Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, commanded the Ming army to repel the Wara army, he immediately started the first regular construction and repair of the Great Wall of Jizhen.

Since the first year of Longqing, it is the third repair and reinforcement of the Great Wall in the Juyongguan section, and this time the project was led by Qi Dudu himself and Tan Lun. On the Great Wall of more than 2,400 miles from the side road of Changping Town in the west to Shanhaiguan in the east, a new enemy platform was built, and later the Great Wall built of earth and stone was transformed into a city wall built of stone and blue bricks and white ash bonding.

He believes that in this construction, we should mainly consider the efficiency of the use of firearms, and we should no longer only consider the confrontation of cold weapons as in the past. So he drew a sketch, and I opened it and looked at it, and I was overjoyed! The new sketch of the Great Wall is basically a finished version of the modern Great Wall, almost exactly the same as what I saw when I went to the Badaling Great Wall in my previous life.

Holding this sketch, I suddenly felt a sense of heaviness that had lasted for a long time, that it was me, that I was going to build this section of the Great Wall as it should be! Suddenly, my hands were shaking slightly.

I don't know if Qi Dudu understands my feelings, but I think he must understand my original intention of trying my best to do this well. After a light meal in the evening, Qi Dudu and I talked until late at night, and the next day we talked for most of the day. In the afternoon, we bid farewell to Qi Dudu and returned to Beijing.

On the morning of the third day, I met with Chansley, and since the decree had been decreed and all the ministries had received the paperwork, he had smoothly coordinated all the matters. The soldiers were drawn from the Jizhou battalion, and the people were recruited by the household department, and they gathered in Juyongguan ten days later.

I didn't understand why I had to build the Great Wall in winter, but after communicating with Qi Dudu in the past two days, I learned that in winter, the weather is cold, and the soil and water are easier to form, but in summer, it is much more difficult. I suddenly remembered that Cao Cao and Ma Chao fought back then, and they had no city to defend, and it was difficult to stop the sharp edge of the Xiliang cavalry. Lou Zibo, a monk of Mengmei, offered advice, poured frozen soil with ice water, and became a city overnight. That's what it means.

Over the next few days, together with Chancellor, I carefully studied the drawings with the builders. When I took out Qi Dudu's drawings, all the craftsmen were amazed! This design, considering from the comprehensive aspects of combat readiness, life, offense, defense, etc., is almost impeccable! According to the technical conditions at that time, it was definitely the best choice.

So the plan was unanimously approved. Since I have unified my thinking, I took everyone to Juyongguan City to conduct a field investigation.

It was cold and windy in Juyongguan in December, but it couldn't stop my fiery heart at all. I want to build this Great Wall as history, and build the best, the strongest, and the most time-tested Great Wall!

Out of my beating soul of the great man!
