Borrow the day to change the day

() Yebushou, the Ming army, returned to Shanhaiguan as soon as he came into contact with Jianlu Tanma.

Zhu Mei and Xu Fuzuo, the former commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, heard that a large number of Jianlu were found visiting horses, and immediately came to Shanhaiguan's "No. [-] Pass in the World" arrow tower to observe the situation of Jianlu.

In front of the pass, there are already Jianlu in twos and threes, appearing in groups.However, Jianlu's exploration of horses did not approach the city wall like they did in Santunying.Instead, they roared and galloped outside the range, or stopped to look out.

These Jianlu inspectors were all survivors of battles, and some even participated in the attack on Shanhaiguan, so they dared not risk their lives to test the courage of the Shanhaiguan guards.

At this time, it was already late, and the afterglow of the setting sun was only left in the western sky.Zhu Mei and Xu Fuzuo looked into the distance for a long time, but they still didn't see the Jianlu striker.

Xu Fuzou is Yuan Chonghuan's confidant, so he has always been the leader in Shanhaiguan.But since Yuan Chonghuan was arrested and imprisoned, his attitude changed rapidly and he took the initiative to befriend Zhu Mei.

I only heard Xu Fuzuo ask Zhu Mei: "Marshal Zhu, do you think this is a small group of Jianlu's probing horses coming to harass or a large-scale attack?"

Zhu Mei didn't turn her head to look at Xu Fuzou, she kept frowning and looked into the distance.He wanted to see exactly how many people Jianlu had come, but the sky at this time made him unable to see the distant view clearly.

After a while, still seeing nothing, Zhu Mei sighed, and then said to Xu Fu, "I can't see it, too, unfortunately I don't have the telescope, otherwise there would be nowhere for Jianlu to hide."

About ten years ago, the German Deng Yuhan brought the first telescope to Daming.Four years ago, Tang Ruowang and Li Zubai took the lead in translating the book "Telescope", introducing the use, principle, structure and production methods of the telescope.

From this time on, Daming began to manufacture this originally mysterious telescope.Unfortunately, due to the limitation of raw materials and the scarcity of skilled craftsmen, telescopes have not been popularized.There were only three in Guanning's army, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and Zhao Lediao each got one.

Zhu Mei was lucky enough to use the binoculars in Zhao's hand when Zhao was guarding Shanhaiguan, so she sighed.

Xu Fuzuo had the ability, but he didn't show it, but followed Zhu Mei's tone and said, "It's a pity for that telescope, it's a pity for Marshal Zhao!"

Now is not the time to sigh, Zhu Mei and Xu Fuzuo quickly shielded this emotion, and discussed the current countermeasures: "At present, we can only strictly defend, increase the number of night watchmen and torches on the city walls and in the city, and prevent Jianlu from sneaking at night. Do you know that Vice President Xu has anything else to add?"

Xu Fuzuo shook his head, and then said: "There is nothing to add to the defense, so I will be on duty tonight. According to the estimation of the speed of the Jianlu army in the past, the arrival of the Jianlu army may be tomorrow. Marshal Zhu has to raise enough police God can handle it, how?"

Zhu Mei looked at Xu Fuzou, understood his change of mind, and didn't make things difficult for him. She nodded and said, "Then I'll take care of Vice Commander Xu. I'll go back and arrange the patrols in the city."

Shanhaiguan had already prepared for the attack of Jianlu, and there were enough soldiers, food and grass. Therefore, Zhu Mei and Xu Fuzuo were not very worried.Jianlu couldn't beat Jinzhou and Ningyuan, let alone Shanhaiguan, which is known as "the first pass in the world".

Sure enough, nothing happened overnight, and Jianlu didn't even harass him.But early the next morning, before the Jianlu forward arrived at Shanhaiguan, there were seven or eight thousand people, and the banner was Dorgon, one of the eight great Baylors of Jianlu.

Zhu Mei and Xu Fuzuo became tense. Judging from the situation, they really committed a large-scale crime, trying to break through the customs.However, the two were just nervous. When they were under Sun Chengzong, Shanhaiguan also repelled many attacks by Jianlu.When it comes to siege, they are not very good at it.

Dorgon came to the front of the formation and looked at Shanhaiguan from a distance.Shanhaiguan is not big, but it is just stuck at the throat of the exit, and it is connected with the Great Wall derived from the top of the mountain, all the way to the sea.

Shanhaiguan is as high as five feet, which is daunting.There are many pennants on the pass, and many Ming soldiers are waiting in battle. How many Dajin warriors have died on the side of Shanhaiguan.

Now in the south of Shanhaiguan, Dorgon has no idea how many great gold warriors will pay the price of their lives to capture this pass.

Although he has won consecutive battles and is now supported by artillery, Dorgon is not optimistic about capturing Shanhaiguan.It's just that he wouldn't say that Huang Taiji is too popular, and if it goes on like this, he might not have a foothold in the future.

It was his pleasure to see Huang Taiji's head broken and bloody before going to Shanhaiguan.My talent is not inferior to him, the difference is only in qualifications and age. One day, I, Dorgon, will climb up.

Dorgon is a smart man, and he did not clearly oppose Huang Taiji's monopoly like the three major Baylors. When the power is not strong enough, he has to stay dormant all the time, otherwise it will bring disaster. He understands this truth.Otherwise, he and his younger brother Duoduo would have been killed by their joint efforts.

Dorgon looked at the situation in Huishan Pass, thought about his thoughts, and then ordered to camp and wait for the main force of Jianlu to arrive.In front of Shanhaiguan, let Huang Taiji perform.

The weather in the north in the first month was extremely cold without rain or snow, and the ground on the official road was frozen hard, allowing Jianlu's artillery convoy to move smoothly.

Finally, when it was getting dark the next day, after walking more than a hundred miles, they arrived at the camp prepared by Dorgon for the main force.

The battle at Shanhaiguan was about to break out, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.But in the Jingshi Ceramics Factory, it was a celebration.

Under the auspices of Zhong Jinwei and Xu Guangqi, the ceramic artisans who fired the cement, the glazed artisans who came to communicate, and the iron-making artisans were exchanging enthusiastically.

The venue was arranged in the lobby of the original ceramics factory, which was arranged by Zhong Jinwei.He and Xu Guangqi sat on both sides of the Eight Immortals table, and An Guiyi sat behind Zhong Jinwei.

On their left are ceramic craftsmen, and on their right are glass craftsmen and iron craftsmen.There was a long table in front of the craftsmen, with some snacks and tea on it. Opposite Zhong Jinwei was the book office, which was responsible for registering some communication conclusions.

At the beginning, the craftsmen were afraid to speak.But under the encouragement of Zhong Jinwei, ceramic craftsmen who are familiar with Zhong Jinwei's way of doing things these days began to speak, slowly motivating the craftsmen on the opposite side, and finally began to communicate.

Xu Guangqi has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he was not used to communicating with low-level craftsmen in this way.But who told this to be Zhong Jinwei's arrangement, so he had no choice but to accompany him.Slowly, listening to the exchanges between the craftsmen on both sides below, he scratched his technical itch, and couldn't help but interject.

Topics ranged from how to increase the temperature at the beginning, to how to improve the new kiln, what are the characteristics of the new kiln that produces different products, and what is needed for site selection.

The meeting lasted until late at night, and the craftsmen saluted Zhong Jinwei and Xu Guangqi and exited the lobby.The secretary in charge of the records came over and bowed to Zhong Jinwei with the records in his hand, and then retreated to rest.

Zhong Jinwei took a look and frowned. The punctuation marks have not been extended here.Zhong Jinwei didn't bother to read it, so he transferred the record to Xu Guangqi for him to read.

Xu Guangqi held a thick pile of records. He didn't expect that today's discussion had so many conclusions. He immediately ordered someone to light up a nearby candle and read it on the spot.

Zhong Jinwei's principles for these matters are just to grasp the direction and make suggestions, and let them, the ancients, do the specifics.After all, in terms of actual operation, he has no experience, so he cannot compare with these experienced craftsmen and the talented Xu Guangqi.

Seeing Xu Guangqi watching seriously, Zhong Jinwei stood up and walked around. After sitting for so long, his buttocks became numb.Suddenly, he found that the dim sum trays in front of the craftsmen were all empty, so he laughed dumbly.Thinking about it, I still feel that the supplies are too scarce now. If every family does not lack this, the plate will definitely not be empty.

An Guiyi, who was accompanying Zhong Jinwei at the back corner, saw Zhong Jinwei walking back and forth alone, so he came over to join in the fun.

Zhong Jinwei suddenly found that he was being neglected these days, so he looked at him and felt that he had contributed a lot these days. When he was not in the ceramics factory, he was the one who led the craftsmen to work, and it was not easy to coordinate the supplies of the ceramics factory. .

Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, and said to An Guiyi: "Eunuch An, you have worked hard during this time."

"Look at what Uncle Zhongxing said, this is our family's duty. The emperor sent our family to assist Uncle Zhongxing, so we have to do this job well." An Gui said righteously.

Zhong Jinwei acted as if he hadn't heard his polite words, and now he was bored, waiting for Xu Guangqi to finish the record, and then chatted with An Guiyi.He walked to the chairs where the craftsmen were sitting just now, sat down, and said to An Guiyi: "Eunuch An, come, sit here, let's chat."

An Guiyi already knew Zhong Jinwei's character, and before his godfather left last time, he told him to take good care of Uncle Zhongxing.So, he didn't shirk, and sat down according to Zhong Jinwei's intention, and then said: "I don't know what Uncle Zhongxing wants to talk about?"

"What to talk about, you can talk about anything, talk about life, talk about ideals." Zhong Jinwei took it for granted.
