Chapter 43: The Ninth Princess Visits
Renault instinctively wanted to refuse, and he really didn't feel at ease if he didn't watch the ore loaded. But seeing the five thousand military horses preparing to camp in the distance, he understood what Xue Kaishan meant, and he was reminded of him, my brother, what time is this, don't make trouble.
Less than a thousand miles outside the city, there is an army of 200,000 barbarians, and the general is busy sending two armies, pretending to rescue Qianding and Mangniu, and these troops will come back at night, secretly strengthening the vanguard and other several battle forts, and secretly sending a large number of ordnance to defend the city at night.
In addition to this, there are already four teams, going out of the city, waiting to surround the barbarian army and give them a fatal blow at the critical moment.
In the war of hundreds of thousands of people, even if the general has seized the opportunity, the military affairs to be dealt with every day are piled up. The Dingxi Army has a total of 150,000 regular troops, and it must be divided into five cities and sixteen forts, plus the ambushes sent out. At the moment, these 5,000 light cavalry, but the real army, just help you open the mine, then there are not many people, but the remaining more than 4,000 people, just stay here, are you embarrassed?
Understood, fully understood, Renault also felt very embarrassed, for his own sake, working 5,000 troops, and it would affect the general's military strategy, this thing is indeed inappropriate.
"Okay, I'll go back to the city with the general, don't leave too many people here, I don't need many minerals, just mine 20,000 catties first." "Renault is as good as he is.
20,000 catties of ore, it sounds like a lot, in fact, there is not much, the ore is very heavy, eight hangings, there are thousands of stones in a car, and 20,000 catties are not even ten cars. Renault is embarrassed, anyway, it's just an experiment, just dig some first.
Not to mention, there are still a lot of things to prepare for returning to the city, the ore is there, you have to refine it, how did the refining come about, Renault is not a metallurgical major, and he doesn't even understand it, let alone why it is, 100% layman, the little knowledge he understands is all seen from the TV news, which is unreliable.
It doesn't matter if it's an electric furnace, a converter, a particle furnace or a direct injection collider, it's not possible here. If you want to look for it in novels, it seems to be in general travel novels, but those things written by writers don't seem to be very reliable.
It was already getting dark, Xue Kaishan decided to rush back overnight, not to mention that the army still had tasks, which could increase the bargaining chips in the general's hands, and just Mr. Lei's safe return to the city would allow the general to worry less.
"There is a blacksmith in Dingjun City. "Renault doesn't look down on Da Chu Technology, the craftsmen here are not as good as hillbillies, but at this time, he can only rely on these natives, the God of Wealth Central Computer has found a lot of steelmaking bridges, back and forth several times, Renault confirmed that it is unreliable, the writers wrote out the things, the general direction is right, but there are no details.
"Naturally, there are, not only there are many blacksmiths in the border people, but there are also craftsmen in the army, and the craftsmanship is better. "Xue Kaishan, a tiger general, is very good at being a human being, and he speaks tactfully, which makes people feel comfortable to listen to.
"Thank you very much, will it delay the armament?" Renault is not stupid, the big war is about to start, it is the time when these craftsmen are needed, but his heart is itching so much, he always feels that this metal is too useful, and he doesn't want to wait for a moment.
"It doesn't matter, over the years, there have been many craftsmen in the army, and they will also sort out their armaments in peacetime, and mainly increase their reserves before the war. ”
It makes sense, it seems that General Zhu Da's army is still good, if he waits until the war is about to start before starting to build ordnance, there is no need to fight this battle, it is better to run away first.
Before midnight, five thousand military horses entered the city, and Renault, escorted by Luo Yi, returned to the General's Mansion. Xue Kaishan ordered people to quietly spread rumors that the general was critically ill, and with the help of nobles, he sent a large army to obtain good medicine and had just entered the city.
There are many episodes in the next section, some say that there is good medicine, the general will be safe, some say that the so-called good medicine, but to calm the army's heart, and even some people rumored that they saw someone in the general's mansion wearing filial piety, in fact, the general had already left three days ago, for the sake of the army's heart, only to hide the mourning.
Some people even said conclusively, asking rhetorically, since the assassination of the general that day, but someone has seen the general, don't you say, such a question, really stopped people, and sure enough, no one has seen the general.
Dingjun City has long been spread all over, there are 70,000 barbarians to attack, Qianding, 80,000 barbarian cattle each, Dingjun five cities, plus a lot of war forts, is constantly drawing troops to support, now the camps in Dingjun City, are mostly empty.
And so on and so forth......
Renault had just taken a shower, and his body was not yet dry, when a tiger's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, there is a female official asking to see." ”
"Female officer, at this time?" Renault was dumbfounded, it was easy for him to figure out the military system of Da Chu, and the civilian system had not yet been figured out, and the female officer did not understand.
Da Chu is patriarchal, although it is not as suppressed as Song Ming, but it is not much better, the female official is definitely not an ordinary woman, who comes to see him in the middle of the night?
"The little girl Yihe Palace is Minhui, and on the order of the ninth princess, she asks to see Mr. The woman outside was very bold, and although she was stopped by Huya, she dared to report her home loudly.
Renault listened, and after a little thought, he understood a little. The ninth princess, the title is Princess Yihe, as for the director, this is the position of a female official, to put it bluntly, it is to help the princess sort out the books, and the male is called a scholar, and it is not a serious official position, but it is put in the palace, and it has a nice name.
The word Minhui should be her name, in a social environment like Da Chu, a woman who dares to report her name is still quite courageous, and her name cannot be passed on lightly.
"Huya, please come in. "Since it is a close attendant in the palace of the Nine Princesses, it is not good not to see it, although it is a problem in itself to ask for a meeting at this time, but fortunately, Renaud is an earthling, and he doesn't care much about these etiquette.
It was not one who came in, but three women, all dressed in palace clothes, with veils on their faces, unable to see their appearances, but their bodies were quite good.
The woman standing on the left side spoke, "Please Mr. Lei." ”
As she bowed her knees, the woman on her right also saluted, except for the woman standing in the center, motionless. His eyes swept under her feet, and under the long skirt, a pair of show shoes were obviously different, with bright yellow embroidery thread, which not everyone could use.
Renaud knew in his heart that it was not a priest who came, this was the ninth princess in person, and it was not easy to show her identity, what did she come to find herself?
In addition to curiosity, Renaud is not afraid, after all, for earthlings, a living princess is still quite interesting.
"Chu Jiayi, I have seen Mr. Lei, please Mr. Lei. The woman in the middle bent her knees slightly and squatted down to salute.
Chu Jiayi, is this the name of the ninth princess? It sounds good, but unfortunately he can't see his face, he has the heart to call up the God of Wealth and peek at it, think about it, forget it, it's not that he is a gentleman, I feel that this is quite fun. Renault was only in his early twenties, and his playfulness was undiminished. There is a god of wealth, not to mention the princess, even if he is the queen, he can watch it whenever he wants.
There are too many things now, and when I am idle in the future, I will make a program for the God of Wealth, and it will not be a problem to find beautiful women, but fortunately, I learned programming at the beginning, and I learned one more craft, maybe when I can use it.
What a bold princess, are the princesses of Da Chu so arrogant?
"I've seen the Nine Princesses. Renault nodded in courtesy, not that he was rude, but that he was not comfortable saluting someone younger than himself.
"Mr. Lei, Jiayi has something to ask for. The ninth princess's voice is very soft and soft, it sounds like a little Lori, she seems to be only sixteen years old, isn't it just Lori?
Da Chu is really corrupt, she is only sixteen years old, and she has been married four times, according to marrying once a year, she has been married since she was thirteen years old?
"The ninth princess is polite, please say something. Renault said, he was a little hungry, after eating, he had to go to see the craftsman, Mr. Lei gave an order, but it didn't matter what time it was, he had to move.
This is Renault's favorite place in Da Chu, as long as the noble person speaks, no matter what time and place you are, whether the request is reasonable or not, you must complete it, and it is a sin to fail it.
"Jiayi wants to be Mr.'s maid, and asks Mr. for permission. The ninth princess bowed down.
"Waitress, you're a princess, how can you be a maid?" asked Renault in surprise, and a black and white maid outfit with cat ears immediately appeared in his mind......
This is a little exciting.,No matter what Lori grows up in front of.,Just the identity of a princess.,It can make people feel a great sense of satisfaction.。
Another celebrity has spoken: women are the same when the lights are turned off.
This is polite, and what can stimulate men's desire to conquer is not only their appearance and figure, but also their female identity.
The ninth princess was stunned, and the female officials on her left and right almost laughed, but it was still the Si Minhui who said, "Sir, it's a maid, not a maid." ”
Yes......
Seems to have misunderstood?
"Please also ask the secretary to solve his doubts, Lei has not been in Dachu for a long time, and he doesn't know much about this. "Renault will change it if he knows his mistakes, my brother is an outsider, I really don't understand.
"The maid is a servant, who eats and wears, washes and travels. The waitress is like an apprentice, but the red sleeves can add fragrance, and you can inherit the unification. ”
This secretary speaks so knowledgeable, no wonder it's called a secretary. Renault knew that most female officials started with the word Si, Si is the meaning of the position, and the word behind is the position. Like the master of ceremonies, the chef, the herb, the lamp, etc., it indicates their different positions, that is, what kind of work they do.
With such an explanation, it is clear that the secretary is in charge of the book, and she is the female scholar of the ninth princess, who has been reading and writing with the princess since she was a child.
"Female apprentice?" Renault understood a little, but he was a little confused, how could you, a princess of Da Chu, want to worship a man as a teacher, is this appropriate?
suddenly remembered the black history of the ninth princess, who married four widows.
Oh...... I kind of understand, this princess can't get mixed up, this is to find a way back for herself. Looking at Si Ji's replies from time to time, Renault suspected that she was instigating behind her back.
"Different, the waitress grinds ink and adds fragrance, serves left and right, and learns diligently, if the gentleman thinks that it can be created, it can be included in the door wall. ”
