Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 69
This officer soldier had just joined, so he was not qualified to stand behind Li Jing, but stood at the back of the line.

But just now Li Jing separated from the crowd and went to the back to talk to the family members of the deceased, and this person became standing behind Li Jing.

This person has a real heart, seeing that Chen Dahu didn't understand Li Jing's meaning, he reminded him.

Li Jing looked at the man and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"Reporting to the big boss, the young one is Zheng Yucheng." The soldier hurriedly said.

"Brother Zheng, brother Zheng has a solid heart and doesn't know the rules, so don't take offense." Liu Baihu said hastily.

It was Liu Baihu who was worried that Zheng Yucheng would intervene rashly, which would make Li Jing angry.

Li Jing waved his hand, pointed at Liu Baihu and said with a smile, "Liu Ming, you are a good person who knows how to take care of your subordinates. Very good! I like people like you. Work hard and don't let me down."

Liu Baihu raised his chest and said loudly: "Liu Ming will live up to the expectations of the master!"

Li Jingjing nodded, turned to look at Zheng Yucheng and asked: "You can see that my intentions are also very good, and my brain turns quickly. Let me ask you, if you were to repair this wall, how would you repair it? "

Zheng Yucheng looked at Taniguchi and said: "If you go back to the big head, if you repair the small ones, then the small ones will build the wall at least one foot wide and three feet high, so that it will be flush with the hillsides on both sides, preventing the enemy from going through the mouth. Climb over. Make a few stack holes on the wall, so that you can see the situation outside the valley clearly, and you can also shoot arrows through the stack holes. A big hole should be dug in front of the middle gate, and a hanging board should be placed when the people inside go out , Pull it up when not in use, so that you won’t be afraid when officers and soldiers come.”

After hearing Zheng Yucheng's answer, Li Jing raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did you do before you became a soldier?"

"The younger one used to be a plasterer and built city walls in Fucheng." Zheng Yucheng replied.

So that's the case, Li Jingjing nodded, the so-called specialization in the art industry, it seems that you need professionals to do everything, Zheng Yucheng thinks more comprehensively than himself.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing said: "Zheng Yucheng, I want you to be in charge of building this wall, but you are new here and you are not familiar with anyone. How about this, you will be the deputy of Duhu, and you will decide how to build it. Tiger will help you!"

"Thank you for your kindness, but I am a newcomer who dare not lead others. I am willing to be a pawn and serve the master." Zheng Yucheng said urgently.

Li Jing shook his head with a smile, and suddenly said seriously: "Chen Dahu, Zheng Yucheng obeys orders!"

"Yes!" Chen Dahu and Zheng Yucheng responded with excitement, straightening their chests hastily.

"Chen Dahu! You and Zheng Yucheng are in charge of building this wall, but Zheng Yucheng is responsible for how to repair it. You need people and things, and you must fully assist!" Li Jing shouted.

"Yes!" Chen Dahu replied loudly.

"Zheng Yucheng, although you are a deputy, you are in charge of everything. If someone makes things difficult, you tell me, I will personally cut off the dog's head of the person who does not obey the order. But you have to remember, it is freezing cold now, repairing the wall It's not easy, so don't ignore labor." Li Jing looked at Zheng Yucheng and said solemnly.

"Yes!" Zheng Yucheng replied loudly.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Yucheng continued: "Master, do we need to build a few towers behind the wall, so that if the enemy attacks the city wall, we can fight back from the towers. Also, there are mountains on all sides here, the enemy may Come over the mountain, shall we build a few beacon towers on the top of the mountain? Once the enemy climbs over the mountain, use the beacon to warn!"

After hearing Zheng Yucheng's suggestion, Li Jing was overjoyed, this man is a talent.

Gently patted Zheng Yucheng's shoulder: "Just do as you say!"

Turning his head to look at Chen Dahu, Li Jing pointed to the valley and said, "Dahu! Come and see! This valley is nearly a thousand acres in size, and I want to move all my brothers' families here when they grow up. Therefore, when building those defensive facilities You have to be careful!"

Chen Dahu nodded vigorously: "I understand."

Li Jing waved his hand and asked Chen Dahu and Zheng Yucheng to prepare manpower and supplies.

Seeing that Liu Baihu and several of his subordinates were going to follow, Li Jing thought for a while, and called Liu Baihu and the two soldiers: "Liu Ming, take these two brothers back now. As for how to talk to Liu Hong when you go back I don’t care if you say it. You just bring me a sentence, and say that I, Li Jing, want to make friends with him, Liu Hong!”

"Yes!" Liu Ming replied.

Nodding his head, Li Jing called Liu Erleng again and ordered him to take a few brothers to escort Liu Ming and others back.

It would not work without an escort, since Gao Qi knew that the officers and soldiers sent troops to attack, he would definitely spread the scouts farther.

If the scouts found out that Liu Ming and others were going back from this direction, they might have killed these people immediately.

After Liu Erleng and others left, Li Jing called two more people over and asked them to tell Gao Qi about the situation here.

Gao Qi knew that there was nothing wrong here, so he could deal with it calmly.

After everything was dealt with, Li Jing only felt exhausted.

One day and one night without closing his eyes, and continuous fighting, Li Jing couldn't bear it even if he was hard-pressed.

Finding a shelter from the wind at random, Li Jing put the cloak over his head and fell asleep.

. .

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps, and Li Jing slowly opened his eyes.

Lifting off the cloak, only to find that the sky was getting dark.

Then Li Jing noticed that there were several quilts beside him. Seeing that the quilts were tightly tucked around him, he knew that someone was afraid of being blown by the wind.

Li Jing smiled wryly and shook his head. He fell into a deep sleep this time, and he didn't know that someone came by his side.

Li Jing got up and moved his body to relieve some stiff limbs, then he heard a soft voice say: "Master, are you awake?"

Nodding his head, when he got up, he saw that the person who came was Shen Ying's little maid.

Li Jing didn't ask you what you're doing or other nonsense. He's not a talkative person. The little girl must have something to do when she came to him. Even if he didn't ask the little girl, he would say it.

"The head of the family, the master wants you to go back to eat." The little maid said.

Li Jing wondered, why did Shen Zheng send this little girl over when he was looking for dinner?Don't you know it's getting late and the mountain road is difficult?
Suddenly, Li Jing saw a person hunched over behind the little maid, slowly climbing up the mountain.

Li Jing took a closer look and recognized Uncle Fu, the chief housekeeper of the Shen family.

Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward to support Uncle Fu: "Uncle Fu, why are you here? It's such a trivial matter to call me for dinner, can't you just greet someone?"

"Ahem! I'm old and useless!" Uncle Fu sighed and said, "Those people are all doing work, and only I, an old bone, have time. This girl Xiaodie loves me so much that she won't let me come, but How can I rest assured that a little girl like her will go up the mountain, ahem!"

"Xiaodie?" Li Jing was taken aback for a moment, and then knew it was the little maid's name.

Smiling, Li Jing said in his heart: "I never thought that Shen Ying would give her maid such a nice name. Presumably she likes her very much."

"Come on, Uncle Fu! I'll help you go back!" Li Jing said.

"Thank you, Master! I came to find Master for dinner, but was helped back by Master. If Master knew, he would let me retire again." Uncle Fu sighed.

Li Jing couldn't help feeling sour when he heard this.

Although Uncle Fu is old, he has always been in good health. When there was an accident in Jinniuling, it was Uncle Fu who rushed to report to Wang's Farm.

I don't want to age like this after only a few months.

Thinking of Shen Zheng's complicated affairs, many things were handled by Uncle Fu, so he was so tired.

Gently stroking Uncle Fu's back, Li Jing said softly: "That's Uncle Shen caring about you. Considering your old age, you should take a good rest. If you have anything to do, tell the people below to do it."

Uncle Fu shook his head, sighed and said: "Those boys can't help but look at it, alas! Fortunately, the master adopted the fourth young master, otherwise, the Shen family's family fortune will be ruined sooner or later, and now the servants will learn from those young masters." It's frivolous."

Li Jing was silent, knowing that the young masters mentioned by Uncle Fu were the sons of Shen Yi and Shen Qing.

It's just that although those boys don't have much ability, they don't have much dandyism. I don't know why they are so embarrassing by Uncle Fu?
"Don't worry, Uncle Fu, I'm in charge of everything!" Li Jing said, patting Uncle Fu's back lightly.

"Ahem! I know that the head of the family is capable. With the head of the family taking care of the Shen family, the Shen family will not fail. The head of the family, old slave, do you do one thing?" Uncle Fu coughed twice.

"Why are you being so polite to me, Uncle Fu... Just tell me when you always have something to do, and I have to do it for you anyway!" Li Jing said with a smile.

Uncle Fu nodded, pointed backwards and said: "Master, Xiaodie is a girl I watched and grew up with, she is a good girl, and Miss and I will follow you in the future, can you treat her well?"

Li Jing was startled, and it took him a long time to understand what was going on.

Looking back at Xiaodie, seeing Xiaodie's eye circles getting red, Li Jingjing nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Uncle Fu, I will definitely find a good home for Xiaodie."

"No!" Uncle Fu sighed and said, "Xiao Die is going to marry Miss as a dowry!"

Speaking of this, Li Jing would be an idiot if he didn't understand.

After thinking about it, Li Jing waved to Xiaodie.

Xiaodie quickly followed up.

"Xiaodie, your lady will not treat you badly, you will always be good sisters in the future!" Li Jing said.

"Mmm! Miss treated me very well." Xiaodie nodded vigorously.

Li Jing shook his head, wondering if the little girl understood.

Li Jing has not proposed marriage to the Shen family so far, and he has not even said anything about his relationship with Shen Ying. How could he directly agree to such a thing, so he could only address her implicitly.

But Uncle Fu can be said to be old and mature, and he understood it all at once.

"Thank you, Master! Xiaodie! You must serve Master with all your heart in the future." Uncle Fu said.

"Yeah!" Xiaodie also understood at this time, she blushed and responded softly, and turned to the other side of Uncle Fu to support Uncle Fu.

Not long after Li Jing and Xiaodie helped Uncle Fu go down the mountain, a few people came out from behind and quickly put away the quilt.

Li Jing shook his head lightly, he couldn't help his brothers, he was afraid that people would disturb his rest, so he spread around to take care of him.
