chapter three hundred ten.
More people and more power.
More than 20,000 people worked together, even women and children were involved, and everyone was motivated, because Mao Jue promised that he would produce all the tools and materials. After the new city was built, every family could receive a house for free.
This is to build a house for yourself. You may live here for the rest of your life. Who knows which building belongs to you? The man in charge of the construction really tried his best to knock every hammer. With the clanging sounds, buildings rose from the ground.
The streets of Xincheng are very Nordic. First, they use thick pillars to build a skeleton on the concrete foundation where the round holes are dug out, and then use wooden boards to replace bricks. They are closely nailed to these load-bearing columns to create walls, floors, ceilings and steep roofs. From a distance, the house looks like the Vikings longhouse in the movie.
However, in order to prevent fire, the fireplace behind the house is completely made of reinforced concrete, next to a corner of the house, pointing tall at the sky, exactly the same as those Western fireplaces. Moreover, the repaired wooden house was painted with lime, just like the white-white in later generations. The wooden house looked like a new house in the middle and later generations.
If you use the traditional Chinese mortise and tenon structure without nails, such a wooden house can be more sturdy and durable, but there are too many projects to catch up. Anyway, there are only such labor-saving methods for nails.
After all, it is located in the outer area and the protection work must be done well. In one month, only one-third of the 2,100 houses in the city were ready to be built. As for political places such as yamen, warehouses, and public places have not started yet. The city wall with a circumference of several kilometers has been built, and it is expected that the building will reach five meters high, and it is already three meters at this time. How could it be built in four directions and four gates in four directions and four cities have been built early.
It is better to use local materials. The core is made of anticorrosion wood burned inside. As the steel bars increase strength, the outer layer is piled up directly with concrete. Two rows of concrete stairs are on both sides of the city gate, which are five meters wide and three meters high. The city gate tower is built with newly burned bricks on it.
Below, the new stone plaque with tung paint was painted with dark and shiny, and it was nailed firmly to it.
Red Twin Cities!
This Dongjiang River was named in this way by Mao Jue, and the river next to it was also named Hongshuanghe. It is said to be a commemoration of two red lines hanging on his head before getting off the boat. It is named after the red and prosperous, with the meaning of double happiness. The buildings in the city are even numbers. It is said that Mao Jue also plans to paint all the roofs red, which is reasonable.
However, it is said that on the day the city name was implemented, Mr. Jiang's foreign lady chased her and played half a small river.
Hongshuang happened to have abortion of Hongshuang. Mao Jue was on his head and Adrena was there, so it was not worth telling outsiders.
It is said that Zhang Xianzhong has a famous Seven Killing Monument. The inscription is born of all things to nourish people, and no one can repay the heavens. Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! From a certain aspect, what he said is really right.
After Mao Jue came this month, the forest retreated several hundred meters, and even the tree stumps were dug out as firewood, leaving one big pit after another on the ground. These rich and fertile land will be distributed as fields in the beginning of next spring. Only when the first crop of corn is planted can these refugees from afar truly take root.
At this time, Dongjiang was still asking for nature.
The forest that had been chewed hard, a rustling sound came from under the thick needles. It was lying in the snow. Mao Jue's ears under his fur hat were red due to the cold wind. However, the excitement made his face rosy and whirring heat. The last time he was on the snow was in the battle of Yizhou, but this time the enemy was not the Jianzhou Juzhen Zhenglan Banner, but a group of deer.
The sailing diary of the ship's first mate clearly remembers the date, and the New Year will be celebrated in three days! But even the two thousand battalions recruited were put into the construction of the new city, and they were not prepared for anything. When Su Changmei, who was in charge of logistics, came over and said that Mao Jue then remembered that he had drawn about 200 people from the hands of the people and went into the wild forest to hunt. At least he had some fresh meat and slaughtered the teeth. The canned fish almost made people cry.
A smell of wild animals came to her face, which made Sakura beside her raise her eyebrows. Although there are deer in Japan, she has never eaten it a few times when she grows up so old. After she becomes Mao Jue's retainer, she can only let go of her belly and eat it casually. She hasn't hunted several times. The smell obviously makes her uncomfortable.
In fact, Mao Jue is also a real hunting rookie. Other military generals took their subordinates to hunt every now and then. He has been busy struggling on the brink of death and hunting officially. This is the first time today.
It seems that spoilers are not good. I know too many historical changes in advance, and this day makes Mao Jue worry. Fortunately, he can put down his burden and go hunting happily now.
However, this time his leadership position was temporarily lost, and he had a specialty in his profession. This time he was lying in front and commanded with his fists. This time he followed Sumu Yertai, the chief of the Sumu division of the army, who was in charge of the army. This guy was definitely an expert in hunting. He lay in the snow like a croaker, and he was still there on his eyes, with two simple sunglasses carved with a slit in the middle. He was so professional!
While he was staring at him, several other Sumu tribe members had already walked around the back of the deer, but they were still parallel to the strong wind, and the deer's sense of smell was not bad. Once the person reached the upper vent, just like Sakura was frowning so hard that she was furious, the entire deer would become alert.
Under the tree, the man in charge of driving away was already in place, and he actually reflected on a piece of porcelain in the forest. Yertai's face also became serious, and he turned around and followed Mao Jue and others to give hurried instructions.
"Master, brothers, I wave my hand and shoot everyone. Oh, shoot, and then the brothers riding horses drive away from the flanks and drive the deer to the bottom of the mountain. If the injured person is not running fast, we can catch them! Don't run away, and surround them in the back, so that the deer can't have a chance to turn back and escape!"
"I have saved it! So are you, listen to Lord Su Mu, have you heard it?"
"As for the order under the mark!"
"Shh!"
I quickly gestured with my hands on the corner of my mouth. It was obvious that it felt a bit unreliable. This guy turned his head miserably and then raised his fist suddenly.
It looks unreliable, but it is really reliable when shouting. After all, even the guards have more than ten days of training every month, and ambush shooting is one of the most important subjects. Before Yertai could pull the bow, dozens of people suddenly stood up from the snow in the sound of the sound of the sound of the gunshots shone on the deer more than ten meters away and then rushed over.
Historically, Britain would rather give up the traditional longbow that had been hundreds of years ago than use the muskets that were unreliable at that time as standard equipment. The power of firearms and bows and arrows is different here. Before the deer bows down and eats grass, it was knocked over by more than a dozen heads, and even one head was knocked off. Seeing Sumu Yertai was confused and forgot to shoot the bows and arrows in his hand.
"General Su Mu?"
It was Mao Jue's words that made this guy come to his senses. Seeing the deer group being chased by more than a dozen people at the forefront and running down the mountain fiercely, he suddenly realized that he was shouting loudly.
"Get on the horse! Let's chase!"
The war horses that were also pressed to the ground for a long time finally stood up with a sniffle. As the knights turned over the horses, the grass-eating guys also didn't care whether the deer was eating grass like themselves. They had long raised their hooves and ran down with joy.
"Sutai, Namujin, you guys can pick up the deer, and the rest, chase it!"
This time he fell behind, but he didn't expect that this round of ambush would have such a great gain. He shouted loudly that the Sumu tribes behind stopped. Then Yertai thrust his horse's butt and followed him to catch up with the cavalry group.
The snowflakes were thunderous and thunderous from the hillside. The steep mountains and forests were like earthquakes. Thousands of hooves hit the ground hard. After all, they were not dragoons. They were able to fight accurately on the ground, but they were far from riding horses. Some guards and even gunpowder were sprinkled in the bumps, and gunfire sounds were scattered. At this time, it really depends on the performance of the Jurchen hunters. Although the riding and shooting were far less accurate than the step shooting, the feather arrows like flying locusts fell on the backs of the deer herd, bleeding. The deer caught in the arrow could not run and fell to the ground. They were stopped by the knights in front and hung on the horse, and then followed the team.
The chase lasted for almost two hours, and the horse could not run anymore. The hunting team stopped. A large deer with hundreds of heads was reduced by half. More than 200 were hunted, and a deer was about 150 to 200 kilograms. The bones and skins were removed and they could also have about 150,000 kilograms of meat. They would have another day tomorrow, plus the condoms set up, the holes dug, and some hares badgers, and the New Year's Day after tomorrow, almost one person could share one or two kilograms of meat to make dumplings, and it also had the New Year atmosphere.
A deer was immediately hung up. After all, she was still young. Mao Jue was panting and kept shouting. He just now had two or three rounds of revolver. Although he was silent for a few shots, he didn't know if he hit it. However, this hunting seemed to be more interesting than shooting people. He kept shouting with the war horse under him.
He also deliberately flattered himself, holding the bow and arrow and leading the horse. Yertai smiled and came back, clasping his fists respectfully at Mao Jue.
"The Lord is unparalleled in the cavalry. No wonder my Great Dongjiang is so powerful that Liaodong. But just shooting these deer can't highlight the bravery of the Lord. Halfway through this journey, the general seemed to have seen a bear cave. Is the Lord willing to hunt again?"
"Bear?"
Not to mention, Mao Jue was really interested. In later generations, this thing is a protective animal. It is okay to scratch your claws. If you want to hit him, you have to go in. Mao Jue met in the zoo. Although he could get one or two bears down the mountain every winter hunting. He also had a bear-skin mattress, but this was the first time he hunted his own bear.
More importantly, a brown bear weighs half a ton. It can also have hundreds of kilograms of meat after removing the bear skin, bones and intestines. If you hunt two ends, you will have more than ten deer on top. Thinking of the hot braised bear paws, Mao Jue's saliva will flow down.
"Why are you still standing there? Let's go!"
With a shout, pulling the war horse, the cheerful young men were also running, leading the deer, shouting and walking back.
…………
I have to admire the eyes of Yertai, the old hunter. I glanced at the foot of a mountain ridge. The snow blocked most of it and revealed a hole of more than half a meter. He remembered it. Nearby, I found bear feces and traces of claws left by catching trees, confirming that this was a bear hole.
According to the Jurchen hunter's method, he first worshiped the master bear, then dug a pit near the entrance of the cave, then ignited the fire at the entrance of the bear cave, and smoked in the cooking. Hundreds of people were waiting anxiously. For half an hour, the shocking bear roar finally rang out. The giant bear, which was almost two meters long, got drunk, came out of the entrance of the cave in a daze. Then, several old Jurchens in Sumu's army were yelling and drove them away with torches, and fell into the big pit without any danger.
Mao Jue's prey has three more bears.
This thing is too heavy, so the horse will definitely not be able to carry it. When Yertai showed his skills, under his command, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Guard cut some wood and used some deer skin of different quality to make leather ropes, pulled them into leather strips, part of which was used for lubrication, and a dozen huge sledges were built like this, and the horses could drag the hunted deer and go back to the mountain.
While walking, these young men who were so crazy were still laughing loudly there, but when they climbed back to the ridge where the deer was encountered, Mao Jue couldn't laugh.
There were still some blood and messy footprints on the ground, but the first wave of shootings, all the dozen deer shot disappeared. It was actually no big deal if the deer was gone, but the six or seven Sumu tribes who stayed behind to clean up their prey also evaporated from the world.
"Sutai! Namujin!"
Unable to contain his anxiety, the soldiers around him simply led the horses and shouted in scattered manner. More than a dozen officers surrounded him and looked down at the traces, each with a very grim face.
"Can you meet a mountain ghost?"
These days, there are all kinds of strange legends in the mountains. Just like in the Japanese mythology of the Hundred Ghosts, there are dozens of monsters living in the mountains. An officer from the Yizhou Mountain Guard couldn't help but say with a ugly expression.
"There are so many mountain ghosts? Besides, even if there are mountain ghosts, they have to be afraid of human power! Our general kills people under his command, and is so powerful that the gods will be so powerful that no one dares to open their eyes and provoke our generals!"
Someone immediately refuted disdainfully, but he shook his head uncertainly.
"Maybe, you may even encounter any wild beast!"
"It's definitely not a beast!"
As he spoke, Su Mu, who was lying on the ground thinking, stood up with an extremely ugly face and held the tree. He held something in his hands and walked quickly and quickly to Mao Jue. As he offered it, a sharp blue stone arrow suddenly came into his eyes.
"Journeys?"
"I'm sure I can't stand it. There is a barbarian tribe here! I've lived so comfortable these two years. Su Tai, Namjin and the others are also old hunters, and they actually forgot to guard against other barbarians!"
Many people have seen the wilderness survival of Beer in later generations, but for the savage Jurchens, every day is considered a wilderness survival, especially in winter, when there are few things in the cold weather, even for a rabbit, you may have a sword facing each other.
The Sumu three are pretty good. After all, they have primitive farming and it’s better to survive in winter. But even so, the competition for prey between Sumu, Jiashan and Baizuo in winter is one after another. It’s not a big news to die a few people every year. In this way, the savage Jurchens who live on Sakhalin Island have more reason to attack these dozens of deer.
Mao Jue knocked his head a little annoyed. This was a dereliction of duty by his leader. Before he came, he had already known that there were savage Jurchen pirates here, but he hadn't encountered them for so many days and was self-reliant. He even forgot about this threat. Looking at the surprised and angry expressions of his subordinates around him, Mao Jue couldn't help but turn his head toward the Sensen Mountains and Fields again.
"Let everyone gather and search in the forest with a whistle. No matter how hard you can find it, half of Shichen must return here! You must go down the mountain before dark!"
"But this hatred! You must not forget this!"
