Chapter 1427: Oil
Chapter 1427 Oil
"Hey, girl, your father Khan said, you later, ?a? ? n?en? ??? .?r?a?n?? e?n `o?r?g?” I waved the envelope in my hand and told Hua Zheng with a smile.
Hua Zheng sobbed and glared at me fiercely: "You...... If you...... If you dare to touch me, I ...... I...... I'll kill you!"
"Can you kill me?"
"Then I...... I'm killing myself!" she said, drawing a gold-handled dagger from her waist and pressing it against her chest.
"Hey, I said yes, I'm willing to gamble and lose. With a wave of my hand, a palm wind came out, sweeping the gold-handled short knife in her hand to the ground, and as soon as the palm wind sucked it, it sucked her over, and then looked at her:
"If you commit suicide, I will immediately raise troops and attack your Great Yuan Kingdom. ”
"You!" Hua Zheng didn't dare to say suicidal words again.
"But," I gave her a choice again, "since you like to bet, let's make a new bet, how about we?"
Hua Zheng seemed to be in the dark, and saw a ray of light: "What bet?"
I turned around and asked the vulture, "What kind of exercise are you?"
"Little nothing. ”
"Okay, then let's take it for a year, if you can practice 'Little Wuxianggong', then I'll give you back your freedom, and our past will be written off. How?"
Hearing my words, Hua Zheng gritted his teeth: "Practice, practice." But you have to promise that within this year, you will not do anything that would damage my reputation and innocence. ”
I:......!
Does this look so bad to me?
"Okay, okay, okay, you can do what you say. I replied helplessly, and then looked at the vulture: "She, I'll leave it to you." ”
The vulture went over, looked Hua Zheng up and down a few times, and saw that Hua Zheng was creepy, so he smiled and nodded: "Not bad, not bad." Girl, obediently worship my sister as a teacher. ”
......
And the rest went well.
The vulture took Hua Zheng as an apprentice and began to teach Hua Zheng's Xiao Wuxiang Gong.
In order to avoid my "humiliation", Hua Zheng also practiced hard, vowing to practice in a year.
As for Jebe, he commanded the 1,000 steppe cavalry, followed behind us, and returned to the capital of Western Xia with us.
After returning to the capital of Western Xia, I told Xia: "You prepare, send an order to go down, repair for three days, and march to the grassland." ”
As soon as he heard my words, Hua Zheng, who was following the vulture, was anxious: "Didn't you say that you would form an alliance with us?"
I had no choice but to explain: "I didn't send troops to attack the Great Yuan Kingdom. Your father Khan is going to ascend the throne as emperor in the steppe in a month's time, and since it is an ally, I will naturally send troops to give him a strong reputation. ”
This explanation of mine barely convinced Hua Zheng.
Three days later.
After a little rectification, the army went directly to the core area of the grassland.
I didn't bring all the men and horses, only 5,000 Qilin Blood Army, and 5,000 reserve troops, commanded by Jiang Yi.
Xia stayed in the Western Xia Kingdom, commanding the remaining 40,000 horses, dispatching grain and grass, and ...... Build a city.
That's right, it's to build a city.
If the people of the Night Ghost Clan are really invincible, then the only thing that can resist them is the tall city wall.
In the steppe, it is impossible to build a wall, not in the desert.
The only way is to extend the city and build the Great Wall in "Jiayuguan" according to the route of the Great Wall in later generations.
In later generations, the section of the Great Wall in Jiayuguan was built in the Ming Dynasty in the fifth year of Hongwu, which lasted 168 years and was completed in 1540 AD.
The Great Wall was originally used to deal with the "Huns", that is, the current grassland tribes, and at present, the grassland people are no longer a threat, the real threat is the night ghost tribe in the far north.
For a project as huge as the Great Wall, I wanted Xia to build it in a short time, but it was absolutely impossible, so I just told her to do her best.
If you really can't repair it and can't block the icemen of the Night Ghost Clan from the city wall, then you have to abandon the Western Xia Kingdom and retreat to Chang'an.
Outside of Chang'an, there are countless mountains and mountains, and it is the natural danger, hoping to stop the people of the Night Ghost Clan.
If it doesn't work in the end, then it can only be a catastrophe in this world, and I can't save it, I can only let this world fend for itself.
And I, it's a big deal, I'll take Li Qingqing and others to occupy a certain island, I still don't believe it, these people from the Night Ghost Clan can still cross the ocean.
For the construction of the city in Xia, I asked Lianhua to cooperate with the whole country of Western Xia, and at the same time sent an order to the Jiuyin Palace to let Zhang Bangchang arrange the second line of defense in Chang'an.
As for whether the city can be built before the invasion of the Night Ghost Clan, it can only depend on the will of heaven.
And the current series of actions are extremely labor-intensive and material-intensive, and the most lacking thing is naturally grain and grass.
I sighed: after two years of recovery and repair, the Ming Kingdom already had some vitality, but now it seems that it is about to fall into the storm again.
......
The army opened, and along the way, under the leadership of a thousand steppe cavalry led by Jebe, entered the core area of the steppe tribe.
It took us half a month before we entered a place called the Burning City.
This place, which was originally the area of the tribal chiefs of the Kereh tribe, with fertile grass and a large river running through it, was an excellent place for grazing, but now it has been conquered by Temujin, and it has naturally become Temujin's territory.
Only then did I realize that in fact, these steppe tribes are not immutable "nomads".
The reason why this city has the word "city" is because on the edge of the great river, there are a mixture of earth and wood, and there are continuous houses, and a building that, in my eyes, is really very simple
On the grassland, in fact, it is not a complete grassland, and there are trees, but large trees are extremely rare, and there are only a few trees in a huge area.
Therefore, this seemingly simple civil palace actually consumes a lot of energy.
In this "civil structure" palace, I saw Temujin again.
Temujin looked in high spirits.
Obviously, he was planning to ascend the throne here and establish the Great Yuan Kingdom.
Temujin welcomed my arrival, and without saying a word, he immediately arranged for the slaughter of cattle and sheep, and brought me all kinds of food and wine, and gave me a warm welcome.
We sat above, the maidens of the prairie, dancing around the campfire, and toasting us both.
"The emperor of Japan has worked hard from afar, I salute you for a bowl. Temujin held up a large bowl and said.
All right.
No wonder Huazheng has such a good amount of wine, and his feelings have been cultivated under the influence of his family since he was a child.
I drank the wine and asked Temujin bluntly: "May I ask the Great Khan, the ghost clan of that night, has it been haunted again recently?"
Hearing my words, Temujin smiled: "Could it be that the Japanese Emperor plans to go and see it in person?"
"That's right. ”
"It just so happened that the day before yesterday, in the northern part of the Kobdo River, it was said that the Night Ghost Clan had appeared, as if they were looking for something. ”
Temujin said as he waved his hand behind him.
After a while, a guard brought a pottery jar.
Temujin pointed to the altar: "According to the reaction of the people, it seems that the Night Ghost Clan is looking for this thing. ”
Oh?
When I opened the jar, I saw that it was dark and swarthy, a viscous liquid, which looked extremely dirty, accompanied by a pungent and unpleasant smell.
This is?
My heart moved, and I used my internal force to provoke a little and threw it at the fire in front of me.
With a "boom", the fire suddenly rose.
I thought, I know what this stuff is oil!
