Chapter 179: The Lonely City of Biansai
Chapter 179 Border Plug Lonely City
The family and country are unfortunate and the poet is lucky.
But any person with literary talents, standing at the head of the Naturalization City at this time, there will definitely be a famous story of the horse leather shroud in the world.
However, in the eyes of Sun Chuanting and Bao Enya, who are now also standing on the city wall, they can only see the potential danger and how to do it so as not to fall into the fate of a horse leather shroud.
Everyone in the city worked very hard.
The few young men of the Han nationality were getting acquainted with weapons they had never used before under Fang Yuling's arrangement.
The task of building the city wall naturally fell on all the women and children in the city, who shouted trumpets and used the most primitive roller skates to hang the bricks and stones on the city wall little by little.
Even a little girl of seven or eight years old helped pour bowls of well water into the stoneware pots on the table, so that these women, who had worked hard to carry bricks and walls, could drink a sip of water in the most convenient way.
The remainder, the younger children, were like lambs in a sheepfold, kept in captivity among the walls inside the city gates. Lying or crawling on the ground mixed with mud, urine and grass. From time to time, mothers come to nurse their children, just like choosing sheep cubs, picking among the children one by one and selecting their dolls. As a result, as soon as he sat down and lifted up his clothes, countless black dirty dolls surrounded him.
It's been almost a month, and if you look at it from the outside, Bao Enya has completely become a Ming person. As soon as she finished talking to Sun Chuanting about the progress of the construction of the city wall, she was about to pick up the coarse clay pot on the table to drink water, but was rudely stopped by a soldier who jumped off the freight cart that had just entered the city.
The other party pulled her sleeve, and she made a defenseless mistake.
Syllable......
The coarse porcelain bowl fell on the wooden board, and a bowl of water splashed down on her and Sun Chuanting.
"Don't die, just drink water." Xiaobing has a mouth, but it is a tactful Jiangnan girl's accent. She didn't look at Bao Enya, but waved at the people who were driving the car.
"Second Uncle Liu, you wait here, and you will unload the medicinal materials into the warehouse according to the requirements of the city. I'm going to take a look at the auxiliaries. You remember, my name is Sun Daqian, don't say my name, I'll look for you again when I find an opportunity. ”
The person who came was naturally Sun Yuanhua's baby little daughter, Xu Guangqi's obedient disciple Sun, and Wu Youshang's strange apprentice Sun Yousu.
She followed the medicinal materials sent to the grassland, and did not stop in Datong at all, but came directly to Guihua City. She knew that now the auxiliary forces of the new army of the imperial court had arranged a medical team. According to their own technology, it should be a small meaning to mix in. It would be better if you could also mix in one or two corpses on the battlefield to dissect them.
Of course, she also knew that she ran away from home and ran to Datong to hide the news at all.
There should be countless letterheads and heralds behind him by now. However, as long as you can successfully blend in with the auxiliaries, there should be no major problems. As long as she can get past the previous period of time, no one can send her back.
What's more, with such a big city, so many people, and when it's a war, who would bother to find themselves in the city.
"Hey............"
As soon as Bao Enya stretched out her hand, she grabbed Sun Yousu, who was like a small fish, slippery and ready to blend into the crowd.
"Do you break someone else's stuff and don't apologize?"
Sun Yousu didn't bother with her at all. Just now, whether in the city or outside the city, she saw several children who were scurrying around. Now she was anxious to meet the guerrillas or staff officers in the auxiliary camp. If it goes on like this, there is no need to fight, and a plague alone can kill ninety percent of the people in the city.
But the eldest lady is the eldest lady. Yousu also knew that she had been a little reckless in her action just now. She didn't care to speak, took out a new silver dollar from the capital from her sleeve and placed it on the table.
"It's my fault to break the porcelain bowl. But if you drink the well water directly like this, even the gods will not be able to save you. ”
Turning her head, she grabbed the little girl who was still adding water with her hand, but her face changed and said with a pleasant face.
"Little sister, the people who work hard must not drink well water when they are hot. Little sister, you just have to go to the steward and say, that's what the doctor said. It's best to find some firewood, boil it and let it warm before drinking. If you can't do it, you can put this table and water a little farther away from there, and drink it when the people who are working have passed and the sweat has fallen. ”
"Heh, where did the little girl come from, she dared to pretend to be a doctor at such an old age. Gala, don't listen to her, bring me another bowl. ”
As he spoke, he picked up another bowl of well water, and took the silver dollar that Sun Yousu had placed on the table in his hand.
"When you arrive in the Naturalization City, don't pretend to be a ghost anymore, and abide by the rules of the Naturalization City."
Recently, there have been many people who have taken refuge in Guihua City, but there are also many swindlers who have wandered in the grasslands. Bao Enya could tell at a glance that this was a little girl, and when she heard her say her fake name loudly, her suspicion became even heavier.
"Who pretended to be a ghost! If you want to die, you can die, and the elixir can't save the ghost who is going to die. With that, Sun Yousu turned around and left. In her heart, the current Naturalization City is a big garbage dump, and it is the right thing to clean it up quickly. I'm here, but it's still the end of the plague, not to mention anything else, hasn't I become the biggest joke?
"How do you speak?" I don't know why, as soon as Bao Enya saw this kind of arrogant person, she became angry.
"Arrest her and send her to the army. Ask what the source is, and stop by to see if there is anything illegal that has been brought in. Bao Enya said to the guards beside her. Sun Chuanting saw that something was wrong, but he didn't stop it.
"What are you doing?" The two guards didn't know anything about the lake, and directly twisted Sun Yousu's arm to the back.
"Let go of me, I'll tell you, even if Lord Sun Chuanting comes over, he will call me a good niece. Why are you arresting me? What's the matter, I saved her life, and I kindly became a donkey's liver and lungs. ”
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he motioned for the two guards to let go. Then he asked:
"Do you know Master Sun Chuanting?"
"How can you not know?" Sun Yousu picked up the fur hat from the ground and said with tears in her eyes.
"If you don't believe it, you ask him, you ask him if he knows me."
"But I'm Sun Chuanting!"
As soon as he heard this, Sun Yousu was stunned for a moment.
I was also anxious just now, so I didn't pay attention to it, but at this time, I looked at it again, and sure enough, the admiral's military uniform should be at the same level as his father, and in this naturalized city, it should be Sun Chuanting. There's no way, now the road of sneaking around can't be carried out, so let's change the style. His Majesty the Emperor has seen it all, what scene can't he deal with?
"Uncle Sun." Sun Yousu hurriedly saluted as a junior, and his voice was a little longer.
"My father is Sun Yuanhua, and I am his daughter Sun Yousu." As he spoke, he was afraid that Sun Chuanting would not believe it, so he put his package on the ground, opened the package, and pulled out a letter and a brass seal from the innermost part like a little mouse.
"I was in a hurry, and my father didn't have time to write to you. But I have here your letter to my father about the use of cement, my father's reply to you, and a private seal from my father. ”
If you want to say that you are careful, you are still careful. She knew that if she left Jingshi, she might encounter a scene where no one knew her. So, before leaving, he deliberately went to his father's official office and stole a few things under the pretext of delivering food to his father. The main target is Naturalization City, so of course Sun Chuanting's things are not less. You see, that's where it comes in handy.
Oh?
Sun Chuanting took it and took a look, and knew that what the kid said was the truth, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Enya, what this kid said is right, I really call me a good niece." Then he thought about it for a while, and then said seriously.
"You sneaked it out of the house, didn't you? After a while, take my letter to your father, and hurry back with the caravan back to Datong. ”
Once the words are spoken, Sun Yousu is not afraid of him.
"Lord Sun, I came to your tent to obey orders. Now I'm also a medical officer of the seventh grade. My master in the Tai Hospital is the imperial doctor Wu Youxing. I heard from my dad that you were in an emergency, so I hurried over, you can't drive me away. When Dad heard your news, he couldn't sleep, so he sent all the best fifteen masters and fifteen craftsmen left in his hand. More than a dozen truckloads of medicinal materials were also sent from the military doctor, and the warehouse was emptied of the alcohol alone. ”
When Sun Chuanting heard this, his heart was hot. But he still insisted.
"That's not possible, there's nothing to get you over in a crisis. I have a lot of doctors here......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sun Yousu.
"You don't have a military doctor here, look at those children. I didn't let me drink raw water just now, but if I drank it any more, no one would be able to run away from the plague in this city. ”
"What plague?"
Sun Chuanting didn't have time to react, but Bao Enya grabbed Sun Yousu's hand and held it tightly. For the people of the steppe, the plague is like a curse, or the most vicious curse.
Sun Yousu couldn't break free, and was about to pull her to see when she heard an exclamation from the city wall.
"Hey, young!"
A middle-aged woman, probably due to her fatigue, did not step steadily when she walked on the wooden shelf, stepped on the air, fell from the shelf more than three meters high and fell to the wall, and a blue brick on her back happened to hit her leg.
"Someone, someone's falling."
Several Mongolian women surrounded the woman, but they did not dare to move, so they had to shout at the top of their voices.
Sun Yousu took advantage of Bao Enya's distraction, broke free, and ran up in three steps and two steps.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, I'm a doctor, let me see."
Fortunately, when the person fell, he was blocked by the wooden brace below.
"Where I fall, you have to tell me where you hurt." Sun Yousu spoke, took the other party and shook his head to indicate that he did not understand.
Listening to the other party's whining Mongolian dialect, Sun Yousu was also confused, and when she saw this situation, Bao Enya hurriedly went up to act as a translator. Only then did Sun Yousu skillfully start the examination from the head.
"Relax your arms, don't push hard, and don't clench your fists."
"Does it hurt here? What about here? ”
"Raise your arms up, put them down, and raise them up again to see."
"Move this leg and push it outward, does it hurt?"
At this time, Sun Yousu naturally has a professional demeanor.
Fortunately, the height is not high. The woman was just a misplaced arm and a broken lower leg.
"Help me sit her up and keep her moving."
Sun Yousu said to Bao Enya as she took off her outer robe, revealing the black military uniform inside.
"...... just now," Bao Enya said embarrassedly as she looked at the skillful young woman, leaning her upper body against her arms. It's been a tense situation in town lately......"
“…… It's okay, it's okay......" Yusu looked up and told her.
"You secure her shoulder, I'll reset her arm now."
As he spoke, he grabbed the woman's hand and shook it gently. also said casually:
"I'll say that when you're ready, you grit your teeth and persevere."
Bao Enya had just translated a word, and Sun Yousu dragged it, drew a semicircle, and then lifted it upwards, when he heard Kacha's voice. She let go of her hand, smiled at the woman, and said, "Your arm is fine, just don't try it for three days." ”
Then he said to the woman's legs:
"That's the kind of thing that's the trouble. Second Uncle Liu, Second Uncle Liu. She shouted at the driver in the distance, who was still waiting in line to load and unload supplies.
"Bring a copy of the clamps and straps from the car."
Then he used the scissors in the bag to cut the woman's Mongolian skirt, skillfully pulled the calf back into place, and then fixed it with a clamp stick and a strap.
"Okay, it's estimated that you will have to rest for more than 80 days, and I'll find someone to make you a crutch when you go back, and after resting for more than ten days, you can do some easy work with a cane."
In this world, if a rich and noble person breaks his leg, he can really lie down for a hundred days, and some people will serve him. But for this woman, lying down for ten days could become an object of abandonment.
In this case, Sun Yousu also knew that the doctor's advice must be divided into different objects.
Even so, the lady who had died in pain just now quickly regained her composure, and left with the support of her fellow clansmen.
At this time, it was Sun Chuanting who was embarrassed.
She must not be allowed to stay, if something happens to her, let alone Sun Yuanhua's daughter, even Xu Guangqi's famous disciple will not be able to afford it.
However, watching her skillfully move, Sun Chuanting felt that his military doctor should be pulled out to feed the dogs.
"Uncle Sun."
"I'll leave tomorrow." Sun Chuanting knew that he was gambling here, so he couldn't let this child get involved.
"Maybe tomorrow the Divine Decree or my Master's letter will arrive. What's more, it's not quiet on the way out of the customs now. If you think this is good, you can hand over some of the auxiliaries to me first, and I want to help you take care of the hygiene in the city, and then I will talk about it when the holy decree or letter comes. Otherwise, I'm in trouble on the road, you say. ”
Sun Chuanting's head is bigger than Dou, not to mention anything else, he really can't draw enough manpower here. If you're already here, you're forcibly pushed out by yourself, and if you run in the wrong direction, it's too late for you to regret it.
"Okay, if you call me uncle, you will listen to me. You are not allowed to go out of the city, you are not allowed to go up to the wall, and you will go as soon as I tell you to go. You must remember these three points. ”
"Okay."
Sun Chuanting still wanted to find someone to take her to the auxiliary barracks, but she didn't expect Bao Enya to pull her up and said to herself: "Don't worry about the admiral, I'll arrange these things." ”
Looking at the figures of the two people in the distance, Sun Chuanting knew that his situation must be very clear in the Jingshi now. He didn't want to get more support, he also knew that the current empire was basically a leaky sieve, not to mention the military department and household department, and even His Majesty the Emperor estimated that there would not be too many resources at his disposal.
But that's enough. As long as there are still people who know that he, Yuan Chonghuan, and many other great Ming soldiers are silently working for the barrier of this empire, it would be good.
Why are there so many poets in Biansai?
Because the border fortress is usually a lonely city, the meaning of the lonely city is very clear, that is, when you open the city gate, the whole world is your enemy.
This is also the reason why Sun Chuanting let Yuan Chonghuan take away all the young and strong men.
In Yuan Chonghuan's case, these people could be organized into a Mongol army, a ghost slave army, or a cannon fodder army. They will become a knife in the hands of Da Ming. However, if you put it in front of the army of 800 people in the city, you will become a rebel who may break out at any moment.
For the lonely city of Biansai, it is actually a nightmare for every soldier in this city.
Because, that big bell that marks the attack of a foreign enemy can ring at any time. They carry knives when they walk, they eat with knives, and they slept with knives under their pillows. All of this is done in the hope of returning to his hometown alive.
Seeing that it was getting dark, and the trumpet on the city gate sounded, the merchants and foreigners who did not belong to the city would be driven out of the city, and those who toiled outside the city would quickly run back into the city. The gates, which were repaired as soon as possible, will slowly close, bringing a slight sense of security to the people in the city.
It will be the courage of a soldier.
At this time, Sun Chuanting will start his own tour of the city. Although he was extremely tired, he still started from the southeast corner and patrolled the soldiers guarding the city around the city wall.
Adjust the position of the trebuchet, check where the alarm fireworks are stored, knock on the grenadiers' plate armor, look at the rifles in the recruits' hands, and then tell a few jokes, scold the guards who lead the troops, and laugh at the bullshit orders made by the staff officers. It's all a process that I'm familiar with, but I still meticulously follow the whole process.
Finally, after looking at the soldiers who were sleeping in blankets, and Sun Yousu, who was teaching the auxiliary soldiers who had been transferred by Bao Enya, he returned to the room above the corner tower of his city wall.
Fang Yuling had already lived in a large pot of mutton, and golden hot cakes were baked by the campfire.
Sun Chuanting sat down, took the big bowl handed over by Fang Yuling, reached out and took a cake and broke it into small pieces. Then, watching Fang Yuling pour the mutton soup from Gududu.
