Chapter 294: Optimism (Happy Birthday to Eight Treasures)

With Fu Yu and Meng Tian's current status, they are also qualified to observe, both of them listened very carefully, Meng Tian thought about listening carefully to execute, Fu Yu thought a lot, and his face was heavy.

After Zhu Da finished speaking, everyone solemnly listened to the order and went separately, Fu Yu and Meng Tian also returned to the team, Fu Yu never spoke much, and Meng Tian didn't realize that there was anything wrong.

“...... Do you want to die or do you want to live......" Fu Yu muttered to himself, but no one heard him.

After making the preparations that should be done, Zhu Da became more and more relaxed, although he was still thinking about what he could do, and he thought that he could do more, but it was not so heavy and tight, and after the inspection, he arranged for himself to be on duty in the early morning, and found a sheltered place to sleep as usual.

Zhu Da himself didn't expect to sleep so solidly, he didn't dream, he didn't panic, and he didn't recall his life now and back then, he just slept when he should sleep, in the words of more than 20 years, he was very pure at this time, he just wanted to fight to the end unlike others, his heart was free of distractions, and he was extremely focused.

If it was his turn to be on duty at night, someone would come to wake him up, but in his deep sleep, Zhu Da was awakened by the riot at the head of the city, could it be that the Mongols took advantage of the night to attack the city at night, but why bother, it was very inconvenient for both sides at night, and with the disparity in strength, it was not good to fight in a dignified manner?

Doubts are doubts, Zhu Da is still quickly clothed completely, although he moves very quickly, but what is faster is that the noise and riots have gradually subsided, but some people are scolding at the city, and there are gongs and bangs in the city, and the emotions of the officials and people in the city are still tense, and the slightest alarm is likely to cause camp roars and riots, and there are even scoundrels and gangsters who specialize in creating commotions and robbing while the fire is burning.

Fortunately, the experience handed down for more than 100 years is complete, although more than ten years of peace have made people relaxed, but now that Qin Chuan and Zhu Da have led the officials and people of the whole city to keep an eye on it, there is no possibility of exploiting loopholes, not to mention that those who should be imprisoned before this time are imprisoned, and those who should be killed are killed, and no one dares to move.

As soon as there was chaos, the forces that kept the city safe and secure immediately began to act, and the people were sent to hold loudspeakers and torches to show the people, and when there was a declaration, there was no need to guess wildly, and there was no need to frighten themselves, and they quickly settled down.

The reason for the commotion soon became known, and when the inside and outside were completely quiet, someone sneaked up near the city and shot an arrow, or a rocket, at the city gatehouse.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the guards at the head of the city also reacted in time, under the dark city, once there is a flame, it will be very conspicuous, but the person who shoots the arrow is also very chicken thief, he is outside the range of the bow and arrow of the city guard, and he will leave immediately after shooting an arrow.

The rocket was coming towards the gate tower, but it had no effect, because the arrows wrapped in the tarpaulin were stuck in the snow of the gate tower, and even if there was no snow, it would not be able to burn, because the places outside the city that could be shot were all bricks and stones, and the outer part of the gate tower was covered by bricks and stones, and the prevention was fire.

Originally, the city was like a great enemy, and the follow-up attacks and harassment did not appear again, and without Zhu Da coming forward, many people had already figured out the clues, which must be the revenge of the three horsemen who came to ask for wine and meat during the day.

This harassment began to annoy people, and when the panic and anger passed, it made people more relaxed, and the Tartars were so capable of daring to love them, and they couldn't see the light, this was completely a child's fighting appearance, and what was afraid of such a performance, and stayed up until the Tartar army left, and everything was worry-free at that time.

There are even young people who have been requisitioned, as well as lazy and accustomed servants, who have complained about Zhu Da making such a fuss, saying that this young man just likes to toss, and he has nothing to do but fanfare, which is nothing more than his addiction to leading troops to fight, so that everyone can't sleep with his mother-in-law in the hot quilt at night.

The main general of the Mongolian army should have made a plan, but the people in the Liangtai camp should not know that the three horsemen who came to blackmail were likely to be improvised, and if the news was known, they would not have done so restrained day and night...... Thinking about it, Zhu Da fell into a deep sleep again.

......

The head of the city is on duty in shifts, and all the mansions near the county government in the city are in full swing, and this extremely busy place is full of houses.

In the past, such a branch man made the women and daughters of the people's families busy, and often made trouble with the people who flirted with the business people, but this time, the people sent by the branch to the yamen regardless of whether they were making up or not came over, and the wives and concubines, the maids in the inner house, and the rough mother-in-law all came, and even a few female dependents from Aizhi County came to me.

Originally, it was not necessary to come, even if the whole city was dedicated to defending the city against the enemy, there was no need for women to come, but Qin Chuan Qin raised people to make an initiative, Zhou Gui and Zhou were the first to respond, and Qin Qin, the eldest lady of the Qin family, was too busy to go home, after these gestures were made, no one could be idle.

Of course, the female dependents of the leaders of the three classes and six rooms are over fifty years old, and those who do not have such an identity must be over fifty-five years old.

It is Chang Kai's woman who really presides over these, now the people below are called Chang Da Niang, and the others are called Chang Da Sister, there are only five or six people in the county who can be called "Chang Family", she came to stare at the matter of supporting the meal, Zhu Da has a few family members in her hands, and the woman who outsiders think is Zhu Da's maid is the main force, such as Liu Yue, for example, Zhou Widow Zhou Hui.

“...... Can't this bowl of chopsticks be cleaned? Also boil boiling water in a pot ......"

“...... We haven't cleaned up the vixens yet, and they still let us wash our hands every day, and we have to use grass and wood ashes to know what is dirty and what is clean......"

“...... Don't say a few words, the vixen is a spicy character, the Sun family is not caught in the face, and the Chang family is not inside and out, but helps these broken shoes......"

“...... People are climbing the high branches, and the Zhu family kid is the most worthy son-in-law of our Huairen right now, but unfortunately I don't have a suitable daughter in my family, so I can only find it from my niece and niece......"

“...... That's the reason, I went back to discuss with the master, he still has a sister...... Look at that vixen, is there to stay thinking about men......"

Zhu Da was very worried about the hygiene of this era, and when he was in the new villages of Hebian and Baibao, he relied on sticks and money to enforce a system to ensure basic cleanliness, and he did this when it came to taking in refugees, but he did not have the ability to ask for it.

Although the epidemic is not easy to breed and spread in winter, it is also necessary to avoid falling on a bad stomach before fighting against the enemy, and some rules are set, such as washing hands before cooking, and someone must check whether it is washed seriously, for example, the dishes should be boiled in boiling water after washing, such as how long the leftovers should be heated after returning to the pot, etc.

The ordinary rules in the past 20 years can only be said to be common sense, and in this era it is considered troublesome and troublesome, fortunately, Chang Kai's mother-in-law knows that Zhu Da is the foundation of her own good life, and she also has the support of a big man to make the decision, and it is a major matter related to the defense of the city, so this errand is done very seriously, of course, there is also a little bit of the meaning of raising eyebrows in front of past acquaintances.

This mother-in-law of the Chang family is the general manager, the daughters of the rich and noble families have to be in charge, and the women of the common people have to be in charge of their work, a person does not have three heads and six arms, and there must be a person in charge everywhere, Liu Yue and Zhou Widow are each in charge, these two women are very young, their appearance is outstanding, and gossip is inevitable.

After experiencing great joy and sorrow, the widow Zhou Hui didn't care about these tongue chewing at all, and the reason why she was in a daze was because of the alkaline water in the pot - the alkaline water used to brush the pot.

In order to make cleaning the kitchenware better and more efficient, this time the pot is made of good alkali from the grassland, and the best alkaline noodles are produced in the grassland, and the price is not expensive in the area of Datong border town, but the common people are not very useful, and all aspects of defending the city can not be ambiguous, and the officials and gentry are not short of silver, and what is easy to use is used.

Alkaline water is particularly easy to use, usually a few times can not be cleaned of the pot, after using alkaline noodles once to clean up the rope, in Zhu Da's various industries, even the refugees also use alkali, Zhou Hui was not a bitter background back then, I don't think this is how novel.

What this young woman is thinking about is another thing, how to spin and weave wool like cotton, since it is assigned by Master Zhu, who treats himself as a person, he has to do it even if he fights for his life, but why can't wool be twisted like cotton, this reason has been figured out, there is oil on the wool, it can't be wrung up at all, if the oil is removed, will it be better......

Zhou Hui tried to rub it with fine sand, and finally it was able to remove the oil, but the fine sand and dust were a trouble, boiling water and skimming the oil was not clean, and it was also harmful to the wool, but after seeing the alkaline water used to brush pots and dishes today, Zhou Hui's brain turned around, is alkaline water more suitable?

......

After that night of harassment, the defense of the city became very boring, and many people relaxed, but fortunately, no one dared to violate the training assigned by Zhu Da, even if they complained about it, they did it 1510.

On the third day of the Mongol army camping outside the city, Chinese New Year's Eve arrived, and thanks to the fact that the Mongols had no intention and action to attack the city, many people in the city finally realized that it was going to be the New Year, and they were somewhat operational.

Although some people politely invited Zhu Da to go down to the city to rest, whether true or false, Zhu Da always stayed on the city wall to keep an eye on the movement outside the city, and from the north and west, there were still hundreds of horsemen mixed with dozens of carts to go south, and the carts were full of supplies.

“...... The Tartars should have two considerable troops and horses in the west and north, although they broke and controlled the pass, but such a rapid march, there must have been no battle with the officers and soldiers of the brigade, and there was no annihilation, the officers and troops still had strength, and the Tartars had to guard against the officers and troops to block the road, so they monitored Datong all the way and the west road all the way......"
