167. The war begins
It wasn't until late that Ming Qian came back, as soon as he entered the gate, someone reported that Mrs. was back, Ming Qian hurriedly walked to the inner courtyard, and when he arrived at the inner room, he saw that Mrs. was wearing a plain white satin jacket, and her hair was long and dragged to the ground, and she was sitting in front of the dresser in front of the huge mercury mirror in front of her in a daze!
"Madame, are you back?"
Hearing Ming Qian's voice, Pearl suddenly turned her head, stood up, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time for the husband to come back. ”
Ming Qian looked at his wife, who was wearing a light white cotton jacket, with white rabbit fur embellishments on the neckline and cuffs, but there was a little more dusty temperament in the light and elegant places. The wide skirt is elegant and luxurious. The black jade-like green silk has been long and draped on the big cloud, wearing a moon-white bandeau dress in the big cloud, the white jade bracelet on the wrist is lined with snow-like skin, the beautiful eyes are overflowing with brilliance, and the red lips are smiling lightly, seducing the soul; Ming Qian stepped forward with an arrow, hugged the pearl in his arms, and said, "Why did you come back?" And lost so much weight? ”
Pearl was a secret, so she could only hug him back and say, "Because of the busyness, there is nothing." ”
It took a long time for Ming Qian to let go of her, Pearl asked people to prepare hot water, and asked about Ming Qian's war, Ming Qian thought about it, and knew that this matter could not be hidden, so he said, "There is also a war here in Dazheng County, but it doesn't matter yet." The key is still on Bai Sixian's side, and your third brother Liu He is also in front of him. I also sent someone to see him, trying to persuade him to come back, but this boy was so bent on making a career that he refused to say anything. ”
"Well, that's his temper. Husband, I don't know if there is any influence on the second girl's side? ”
Ming Qian nodded and said, "It's already surrounded." I've been trying to stop people from trying to open a way out, but they haven't succeeded, and there are also Hu people attacking here, so I really can't transfer people. ”
Hearing this, Pearl became even more worried and asked, "Will our Taizheng County be besieged?" ”
"It's hard to say, I've started to collect grain and grass everywhere. But wait for the grain and grass and reinforcements of the imperial court to come. I'm afraid the city would have been destroyed long ago. Mingqian's tone was full of grief and helplessness, and his hug at this time made Pearl feel not warm. Rather, hopelessness and helplessness. It's more about her reluctance. Let the pearl hurry to the distress.
Qingfeng said at the door that the water was good and asked Mingqian to take a bath, and Pearl also followed in with his clothes. Today's husband and wife are both preoccupied. There should be a place with infinite spring, but at this time, people are rushing to a faint sadness. When Pearl saw that her husband was embarrassed about food and weapons, she said,
"I went out this time and bought some foreigners' weapons, I originally thought they could be sold for a good price, but now I took them out and used them just right."
Ming Qian turned his head sharply after hearing Pearl's words, and then fell into a depression again, and said, "I also know about the firecracker, but this thing, although it is somewhat useful, is a drop in the bucket after all, and it will not help." ”
Pearl said with a smile, "This time, the husband is wrong, this fire gun has a range of 300 meters!" It can also fire thirty rounds in a row, don't you say it's amazing? I've tried them all. There is also a pistol, which is the size of a palm, has a range of about 100 meters, and can produce nine bullets in a row. ”
Ming Qian stood up violently, "What you said is true?" How much did you buy? ”
"There are 150 long firearms, nine pistols, and one I gave to Liu Zi. The pike had 65,000 rounds of ammunition and the pistol had 3,000 rounds. "Pearl has been busy making grenades lately, which is very technical, and she has to make explosives in the lab, and she's also busy refining antibiotics here, because Tom will definitely ask for more medicine next time he comes.
"Quick, I'll take a look." Mingqian's bath is no longer washed, this matter is a big deal. Where can Pearl let him go! Guns and bullets are in space!
Pearl hurriedly said, "You wash first, I'll go to the warehouse, and let them carry the robbery to the bedroom." ”
"Then you go quickly, I'll be here soon."
"Okay, don't worry, don't come out, your hair is not dry, you want to catch a cold." Pearl commanded, and then went out herself, put on a cloak, and went to the storeroom.
Pearl doesn't use lanterns for lighting at all, and at night, she sees no different things than during the day, which is also strange to her, but she believes that no one can give her an answer. When a person came to the storeroom, the doorkeeper opened the door directly, and Pearl didn't need him to hold the lamp, so he asked him to call a few people to move things. I went in on my own.
Not long after, a few guards came, carrying lanterns, and carried all the boxes that Pearl had asked them to carry to the master bedroom. At this time, Ming Qian really came out early, and when he saw that something was coming, Ming Qian hurriedly sent someone out, and the husband and wife began to study firearms. Ming Qian didn't care about anything else, and went to the courtyard with a gun. Let people light up the lights in the yard, take a submachine gun and shoot at the courtyard wall 50 meters away, just listen to the gunshots of 'da da', and even more like firecrackers, Pearl sees that Mingqian is really a little crazy, this big night, what do others think?
Ming Qian excitedly returned to the room, put the submachine gun away, put the pistol in the box, and left one for self-defense. When the toss was over, Ming Qian asked about the harvest in the south, although Ming Qian knew how many fields there were at home, but it was always the pearls who took care of it.
"It's really a coincidence, I'm worried that in a disaster year, all the regulations stipulate that they must save two years' grain, and when the new grain comes down, they will sell the old grain for one year. Flowers are generally planted on the Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou, and the grain can only feed them. But I let them all get together, and they all have to be sent to Zhuozhou and Hangzhou. The grain from Hangzhou can be transported by water, and it will only take ten days. There should be a lot of Zhuangzi near the capital and Zhuozhou, and I will write to them tomorrow to transport them. "Pearl said in detail,
Mingqian is very happy, today is the most relaxed and comfortable night in this time. Early the next morning, Pearl wrote to several stewards, asking them to transport all the grain to the Zhuozhou wharf, and from there directly to Dazheng County.
Pearl is very anxious, his second sister's family, and his third brother are all trapped in Shanyang County. In a letter to Zhuozhou, they were asked to hurry up and make armor, as well as longbows.
Ming Qian mobilized a hundred guards, all armed with submachine guns, and a few of them took the lead not only with submachine guns, but also with pistols. They fought all the way and tore a hole in the other's encirclement. Immediately after, dozens of carts followed, with down jackets, duvets, sweater vests, etc. At most, food and medicine. Even pork and beef were brought with them, and two doctors were arrested and sent to Shanyang County.
After Ming Qian left, the next night, Pearl had a fever again, and the whole body was sweating, and he couldn't scream, and after a while, it was like entering an ice cellar, which was like breaking his muscles and bones! When it was a little better, Pearl immediately got into the space and went to soak in the golden pool, and sure enough, it gradually got better. This kind of pain seems to be ten times more painful than when giving birth.
Within two days, Pearl bought cotton and shipped it, Pearl stopped the women of the county from rushing to make cotton clothes and cotton pants, and accumulated 100 sets of down cotton clothes in the past, and there were more than 2,000 sets of down coats in the space, and more than 20,000 down coats. But pearls are not easy to take out. There are also 50 down sleeping bags, which should be usable.
After Ming Qian came back, Pearl looked a little depressed when he saw him, and hurriedly went up to ask,
"How's it going over there?"
"It's not great, but I left fifty for them. Do you still have bullets here, though? ”
Pearl thought for a moment and said, "I can also make this bullet, the craftsmen on the Zhuangzi have been making it for a long time, and this time I have sent 20,000 bullet shells, and I have finished loading." There are also a thousand rounds of pistol bullets. ”
"It's really good, I didn't expect Madame to have such a ability."
Pearl had been weak-hearted, and said again, "The food has also arrived one after another, do you still want to send it?" ”
"When I went, the soldiers defending the city had nothing to eat, let alone the people, and the ones I sent could solve some of the problems, but they still needed more food. The road that was opened is safe now, and we have to hurry up. Ming Qian also thought about the affairs of his own county, if Shanyang County could not be defeated, then his Dazheng County would be even more dangerous. The reason why the Hu people did not make a big move was probably because they did not want the market here to be closed.
Pearl took the soup sent by the girl, put it in front of Ming Qian, and said, "I heard that the price of food in our Dazheng County has also risen a lot!" ”
Ming Qian frowned and said, "Yes! I'm also thinking of a way now, and I guess that as long as the food you bring arrives, those people will definitely reduce the price. ”
"Don't worry, there is a lot of grain in Zhuozhou alone! In the warehouses of Zhuozhou Wharf, there are ten warehouses that are full of rice and white flour, as well as millet and corn, which is definitely enough to eat. "Pearl still has this confidence.
Ming Qian looked at the pearl and said, "You take the children back to your hometown first!" ”
Pearl's brows furrowed, "What are you talking about, I won't leave, so be it|!" We first sent the children to Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou, where we asked the husband to continue teaching them. "Pearl's biggest fear is that something might happen to the children.
"Okay, you have the final say." Ming Qian's heart is very warm, because the two of them are living and dying together!
The next day, the pearl was packed for the children and sent to the Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou, with their nurses and girls, and there were still people who were waiting for them in the Zhuozhou Zhuangzi. Several children should be able to adapt well.
When I arrived at Zhuangzi in Zhuozhou and settled a few children, I went to a few factories. Twelve sets of super armor have been made from Pearl, and two hundred have been made from longbows. The bow and arrow made 10,000 rounds, which was absolutely not enough, and Pearl asked them to work overtime to make longbows and arrows. And it's the same with armor, the more you do, the better.
As soon as the pearl arrived in Zhuangzi, 50,000 catties of grain had already been delivered. The armor and bows and arrows on Pearl's side were also sent directly, and she and her husband were each wearing armor, and the rest of the people who sent things were all handed over to the second brother-in-law, so this matter naturally had to be given credit to his family.
