Chapter 21 Exiting the Great Wall, Paul’s body is intact!
"Oh?" Boyan suddenly became interested and asked quickly, "Which tribe are you from?"
Haming replied: "My ancestor came from the Uuliangha tribe. He was assigned to the Three Thousand Battalion with Emperor Taizong Jingnan of the Ming Dynasty. When my father arrived, he was transferred to Jinyiwei. Now, I have filled my father's vacancy and is still serving in Jinyiwei.
”
Boyan asked again: "What is your position in Jinyiwei?"
Ha Ming did not hide anything, and said bluntly: "I have no official or position, I am just an ordinary school captain."
Boyan secretly regretted that such a talented person was just an ordinary school captain. What did Ming officials do for a living?
"How about you come to our department and let me be the commander of thousands?"
Faced with such an inducement, Ha Ming remained calm and said, "Thank you for your kindness, General. Although I am not talented, I still know what it means to be a minister but not to serve two masters."
Boyan shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "What a pity, what a pity. It seems that we can only meet on the battlefield!"
Ha Ming grinned widely and said, "It would be very enjoyable to fight face to face with General Boyan!"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Boyan knew in his heart that there was no hope of winning over him.
Thinking of this, he turned around and sat down, and the smile on his face disappeared.
"Tell me, what did the little emperor ask you to do? If you want to sue for peace, you have to show some sincerity!"
Ha Ming also put away his smile and said solemnly: "According to the Ming Emperor's oral instructions, I tell you to withdraw from the Great Wall and save your body!"
Phew!
Boyan almost jumped up and said with an angry face: "What did you say?"
"Exit the Great Wall, Paul's body remains intact!"
Ha Ming was neither humble nor arrogant, and repeated it word for word.
The muscles on Boyan's face were twitching constantly, and the anger in his eyes seemed to melt the man in front of him.
"Do you know where this is? Aren't you afraid of death?"
Ha Ming just smiled faintly but did not answer.
Boyan was furious, but he had no choice but to kill the messenger, which would really make him look angry.
However, these eight words were like a thorn, piercing deeply into his heart. This feeling... was worse than death!
"Okay, okay!" Boyan gritted his teeth and said, "Please go back and tell the little emperor that I will personally take his life within ten days at most!"
Ha Ming cupped his hand and said: "Our army is camped five miles away and is waiting for you at any time!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, but was stopped by the guards in front of the tent.
Ha Ming stopped and said without looking back: "Is this how General Boyan treats guests?"
Boyan exhaled heavily and waved his hand to indicate his release.
Ha Ming then turned around, clasped his fists in salute, and left.
"General, are you just going to let him go?"
The guard in front of the tent was very puzzled. These eight words sounded so clear that no one could stand this anger.
"What can we do if we don't let him go?" Boyan shook his head and said, "Killing this person won't solve the problem, so let's compete on the battlefield!"
"General..."
"Stop talking about it. Even though I have suffered two defeats, I, the mighty General Wala, can't compete with a mere messenger."
"No..."
"I know you are angry. This matter has been settled. No more words!"
"General!" the guard suddenly shouted and rushed to say, "The grand master has arrived first!"
Boyan was stunned, and quickly stood up and walked out of the tent to greet him.
When Ha Ming returned to the Ming army camp, he first told Boyan's reaction. Zhang Fu and others couldn't help but be shocked.
How could you bear this kind of humiliation without chopping your boy up on the spot?
It seems that Boyan is also a person. He can endure the anger of the moment. This kind of person should not be underestimated.
Ha Ming was even more incredible. He didn't know how the emperor could choose such a person, run to the camp opposite, humiliate the coach and tens of thousands of soldiers, and still escape unscathed.
Why didn’t I know there were such talents in Jinyiwei before?
"Your Majesty, when I humbly returned to camp, I saw that Ye Xian's army had already arrived, with a total of seventy or eighty thousand people. It seems that the attack is likely to continue tomorrow."
Chen Ying was the first to panic and said: "Your Majesty, we don't even have a tael of gunpowder now. If Wala attacks again, the Shenji camp can only use the firecrackers as sticks."
Zhang Fu said disdainfully: "What's wrong with the stick? After all, the fire blunderbuss is made of fine iron. I don't believe it. It can't kill the Wala people when it is swung?"
"That's what I said, but..." Chen Ying immediately retorted, "After all, firearms are very powerful. In the previous battles, the results of our Shenji Battalion are obvious to all. Without firearms, we don't know how many people would have been killed or injured!" "Okay!"
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two and said: "The tactical position of the Shenji Battalion is very important. This is undisputed. However, without firearms, the battle will still be fought. We need to change the battle plan." p>
Everyone calmed down and waited for the emperor's instructions.
Zhu Qizhen looked at the rocks not far away, with a smile on his lips.
As night falls, bonfires are lit everywhere in the Ming army's positions, just like daytime.
More than 500 soldiers, led by Chen Huai, began to dig soil and mud with their bare arms.
There are more than 500 people working in the mountains and quarrying rocks.
There are still 500 people logging around. If you saw this scene without knowing it, you would think that some construction team was going to build a lot of construction here.
Chen Huai was also confused. How could he become an engineering team member when he was a dignified countryman?
It started by digging a horse pit, which is fine, but what is the purpose of building a kiln? What is quarrying and logging?
Could it be that the emperor planned to burn bricks on the spot and build a city wall?
Having said that, building a city wall is a good idea, but the problem is that there is not enough time, and the 100,000 troops cannot watch you build the wall!
With a head full of questions, Chen Huai worked all night long, building five simple brick kilns, and then burned them with firewood until dawn, which was roughly completed.
Zhu Qi went to town to check it out. Although it was a bit crude, it should be enough to cope with the current situation.
Immediately afterwards, he ordered people to move the stones collected on the spot to the kiln, added firewood again, sealed the mouth and continued roasting and calcining.
At the same time, the soldiers were divided into several groups and turned the felled trees into simple trebuchets one after another.
This thing also has a name, it's a cannon.
That's right, the cannon beside the stone.
This thing has been around for a long time. It appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. For example, "Fan Li's Art of War" records: "The flying stone weighs twelve kilograms and is used as a machine to move two hundred steps."
Seeing these trebuchets, Chen Huai was always full of doubts and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, can this thing really repel the enemy?"
"I want the Wala people to understand a truth."
The corners of Zhu Qizhen's mouth raised slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.
"Science and technology are the primary productive forces!"
