Yan Shiyue looked at the big vat and saw that there seemed to be a hole in the ground. He said, "Forget it, don't scare them."
She then lowered her head and said, "Don't be afraid, we are just looking for some food. We bought the celery from your vegetable patch, and I put the money on the table."
There seemed to be rustling sounds inside. Yan Shiyue was about to exit when he heard an old voice saying: "Are you Dayan's army?"
Yan Shiyue raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Yes, we are Dayan's army, and this is Dayan's land!"
Someone pushed open the water tank and revealed a face: "Are you really Dayan's army?"
Yan Shiyue pulled the soldier beside him, revealing the word "Yan" behind him: "Yes."
The man was a little surprised: "Dayan Army! Dayan Army fought back?" He came out and compared himself to her: "We are also citizens of Dayan! We are all citizens of Dayan!"
Dayan people are short in stature, have cold-yellow skin, and their eyes are very close together, mostly slender. Their appearance is different from Dayan people at first glance.
Yan Shiyue nodded slowly, and the family came out one after another. The young man even ran outside, running back and forth and shouting: "It's the Dayan Army! It's the Dayan Army that's fighting back! Don't be afraid, everyone, it's the Dayan Army."
Yan Jun is here to pick us up!"
After a while, people came out one after another.
It was only then that Yan Shiyue discovered that the people here were all sallow and thin. They did not look like real people, but more like... slaves who had been tortured for a long time.
Those who are not of my race must have different minds. This is not a lie.
The Daxi people here are just bandits. They will definitely not treat the people of Dayan well. They do not kill them, but are just trying to extract their surplus value. It is not wrong to say that they are slaves and slave owners.
Everyone was a little scared at first, but then they saw Dayan's military uniform and how beautiful and approachable she was, and their eyes lit up. They gathered around to ask questions, and Yan Shiyue patiently answered them one by one.
She stayed here for a long time until Yan Shiwei came to pick her up in person.
Seeing her surrounded from a distance, Yan Shiwei was startled and quickly jumped off his horse. As soon as he came over, Yan Shiyue said to everyone: "This is our Dayan general, General Yan."
The eyes of the people glanced over instantly, full of reverence.
Yan Shiwei also quickly switched to business mode, cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The folks are suffering!"
Yan Shiyue gave up the stage to her brother and went back to cook for Emperor Ming Yan.
When the food was on the table, Yan Shiyue told Emperor Ming Yan what had just happened. Emperor Ming Yan stopped his chopsticks and listened carefully. After a long while, he sighed: "It's because I was late. I feel sorry for them!"
Daiguo Gongdao said: "This is a chronic disease that cannot be cured unless the right time, right place, right people, and the right people are in place."
Yan Chengyuan also said: "Now that we're here, it won't be too late."
Yan Shiyue said: "You can't keep yesterday's day. From now on, just give these people some money to compensate them!"
Emperor Ming Yan shook his head and laughed, and after a while he sighed: "That's how it should be."
Yan Shiyue gave him cold shredded chicken and coaxed him to eat it like a child, but it was so fresh, crispy and spicy that Emperor Ming Yan didn't even take a few bites.
Yan Shiyue was almost dying of anxiety: "If I had known I wouldn't have told you anything, you wouldn't even be able to eat well!"
Gu Jiuxing was also anxious and couldn't help but said: "I don't know if these people have ice?"
"Ice?" Yan Shiyue said: "How can these people have ice? If there is ice, can I, Aye, eat some?"
Gu Jiuxing looked at Emperor Ming Yan's expression and said cautiously: "It's hot in the past, so if there is ice, I will still use some."
Emperor Ming Yan laughed and scolded: "You old man, you are starting to talk too much!"
"Is it ice..." Yan Shiyue held her chin: "Actually, it's easy to make ice. If there is saltpeter, it will be easier to make some ice."
Emperor Ming Yan asked: "Can saltpeter also make ice?"
"That's right!" Yan Shiyue said, "It's very simple."
Emperor Ming Yan said: "I ordered you to go down and take some of the saltpeter mountains if you see them along the way."
Before he finished speaking, the soldiers came in and reported: "General, there is a lot of saltpeter on the mountain ahead. The villagers call it Dishuang Mountain."
Everyone looked at each other for a moment.
This...when mentioning saltpeter, there happens to be saltpeter. Isn't this too mysterious?
Yan Shiyue quickly came to his senses and swung the blame at the speed of light: "Ah, you are so eloquent! As soon as you mentioned saltpeter, there was a mountain of saltpeter!"
Emperor Ming Yan is a majestic emperor, what are you afraid of Furui? He calmly accepted the pot: "It's a coincidence."
So Yan Shiyue happily went to make ice.
Gu Jiuxing wiped his sweat and silently swore in his heart that he would not offend anyone but Yan Shiyue. At the same time, he told others about this "news" at the speed of light, seemingly accidentally, and soon everyone knew about it.
, which actually made the sergeant more in awe.
Emperor Yan of the Ming Dynasty and Yan Chengyuan, after eating, went over to watch Yan Shiyue make ice.
Making ice from saltpeter is very simple. First make a jar or basin and fill it half full with water.
Then place the tank in a pool and put some raw saltpeter in the pool. Then pour water into the pool and it will be done quickly. If you feel that the saltpeter is not enough, you can slowly add it.
Because saltpeter dissolves in water, it absorbs a large amount of heat and can cool the water until it freezes.
Using this method, it is easy to make ice in summer. And the saltpeter can be reused.
Several people watched helplessly and marveled.
Yan Shiyue cut the fruit into pieces, sprinkled it with sugar, and added some scraped ice, and brought it to Emperor Ming Yan. Emperor Ming Yan took a bite and felt the coolness in his mouth. He couldn't help but nodded: "Not bad."
With this, Emperor Ming Yan finally had a good meal. When he was marching during the day, he put a basin of ice in the car and a fan for ventilation, so that the heat would not be unbearable. Emperor Ming Yan's appetite gradually recovered.
Yan Shiyue saw this and finally felt relieved.
One day, Dayan's army approached the palace and attacked the palace, then stationed on the spot, preparing for the final battle.
The spies kept sending back news.
The place where the raiding army was stationed was found, named Tianlu Mountain, just in front of the palace, only one day's journey away.
At the same time, it is said that the Emperor of the Dairai Kingdom had already returned home in panic by ship after the defeat at Koanlan Pass. Here, only Shogun Matsudaira Hirotada led less than 5,000 raiding troops.
There were nearly 30,000 Yan troops who came here.
After hearing this, Yan Shiyue couldn't help but ask: "Why do they want to hide in Tianlu Mountain? Instead of guarding the other palace?"
Yan Shiwei said: "Because there is no moat in the villa palace, what they occupy is only a small area. It is not easy to build the villa palace and the city wall. It seems that the emperor does not intend to use the city wall to resist the invaders, so he does not
It is not stable. Therefore, they are either in front of the other palaces, or they retreat behind Anlanguan Pass."
He sneered: "At that time, most of the city wall at Anlanguan Pass was destroyed in the war nearly a hundred years ago, and it was not seriously repaired. So, the other party probably thought that if they don't succeed, they will be benevolent?"
"Don't take it lightly," Yan Chengyuan said: "They can be called mourning soldiers at this time."
Indeed, although we appear to be outnumbered, the situation is actually still grim.
As the saying goes, a sad army will win. At this time, the attack has no way to retreat. It is defeated and dead. It is a real last-ditch battle. (To be continued)
