Chapter 308: Homecoming
"Sir Zeng, half of the prisoners and craftsmen who built the cement straight road will be transferred to Liaodong. Let's work hand in hand. This will also speed up the progress of the cement straight road!"
When he was preparing to enter Liaodong with Li Zunzu and his 10,000-feather Linwei, Wang Bing, the general person in charge of the Beijing-Liaoning Straight Road, found Zeng Shengwu, the Minister of Works, and took away half of the prisoners and craftsmen who were building the straight road.
.
"Why didn't my uncle tell me about such a good idea earlier? If he had known about this method earlier, I'm afraid that the cement straight road would have been built for a hundred or two hundred miles by now!"
After hearing Wang Bing's method of advancing from both ends, Zeng Xingwu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Haha, I just thought of this method! In addition, we can actually divide the Beijing-Liaoning Straight Road into several sections, and a group of people will be responsible for one section..."
In order to build the Beijing-Liaoning Straight Road as soon as possible, Wang Bing immediately explained the method of building it in sections. In short, it was to optimize the use of tens of thousands of Tatar labor.
Subsequently, under the escort of 10,000 Yulin guards stationed in Liao, 30,000 Tatar prisoners and craftsmen started from Jinzhou, leaving one at intervals. Under the supervision of various guards and forts along the way, they were built in sections.
Starting from the Beijing-Liaoning Straight Road, even the special guard sergeants are omitted!
…
"Who are you and why did you come to this inner city?"
When Wang Bing and Li Zunzu slowly entered the Liao Dynasty with 10,000 feathered Linwei, Shuerhaqi, who asked Wang Bing for orders to go back and persuade Nuerhaci, also arrived at Foala, a new city in the Jianzhou Department.
A small town about ten miles from north to south!
However, Shuerhaqi, who was dressed as a Han man, had just arrived in the inner city and was stopped directly.
"What? I can't enter here?"
Looking at the sergeants who stopped him, Shuerhaqi couldn't help but frown.
"Han people are not allowed to enter the inner city!"
Faced with Dishurhaqi's question, a Jurchen sergeant opened his mouth and explained the reason.
"Can't you tell that what I'm saying is Jurchen? I am also a Jurchen, a Jurchen from the Jianzhou Department!"
Looking at the sergeants in front of him, Shuerhaqi frowned even deeper.
He didn't expect that because of his Han hair accessories and clothing, he wouldn't be able to enter the inner city when he returned home.
"Jurchen? Then why are you dressed like a Han?"
Facing Shu Erhaqi's questioning, several sergeants could not help but look confused.
"Why, who said that Jurchens can't dress up as Han people?"
"Well, this...no one stipulates this. But since you say you are a Jurchen, what proof do you have?"
The soldiers who were questioned by Shuerhaqi finally had no choice but to ask Shuerhaqi for proof.
"Your commander can prove that I am a Jurchen!"
Instead of embarrassing several sergeants, Shuerhaqi reported Nuerhaci's position as commander of the Jianzhou Left Guard.
"Commander? What kind of official is the commander?"
What Shulhaqi didn't expect was that these sergeants didn't even realize who the commander he was talking about was.
"Second elder brother? I'm here to see Er Baile!"
Just when Shuerhaqi frowned at the answers of several sergeants, E Yidu, who had followed Nuerhaci since he raised his army, had just come out of the inner city and recognized the Han people in front of him at a glance.
Shulhaqi comes dressed up.
"Second...Second brother? Second Belle?"
These sergeants did not know Shuerhaqi, but they were no strangers to Eryidu. When they heard Eryidu call Shuerhaqi, they all knelt down with a thud.
"The slaves are blind, please forgive me, Erbeile!"
You must know that since Nuerhachi first established the government of the country, he has attached great importance to these etiquette and rules.
"Everyone, please get up. The title of Baylor is no longer needed!"
After pulling up Eyidu, his eldest brother's general, Shuerhaqi immediately waved his hand and asked these sergeants to stand up.
"Second Belle, it's good that you're back. Shulebel always talks about you!"
After being pulled up by Shuerhaqi, Eyidu in turn pulled up Shuerhaqi and ran towards the inner city.
…
"Ahun!"
"pocket!"
Although the two brothers broke up on bad terms after the city of Tulum was captured, blood is thicker than water after all. When the two brothers, who share the same mother, met again after five years, the strong family affection was still there.
All the original conflicts have been resolved.
"Come, let's have a banquet to welcome Er Baile!"
After the two brothers let go, Nuerhachi waved his hand and immediately asked people to prepare a banquet.
"Eqike!"
Just as Nuerhaci was preparing a banquet, Nuerhachi's eldest son Cui Ying also rushed over to salute Shuerhaqi, his second uncle in Han attire.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect that Cui Ying is already so old!"
Looking at Xu Ying, who was only over eight years old but already eleven or twelve years old, Shuerhaqi couldn't help but shook his head with emotion.
"Eqike!"
Just when Shuerhaqi was lamenting how time flies, a cheerful voice came, and a little girl with a flower-like appearance ran towards Shuerhaqi.
"Dongo!"
Seeing the little girl running towards him, Shuerhaqi immediately stretched out his hand and prepared to pick her up.
However, when Dongguo also extended his hand, Shuerhaqi couldn't help but sigh softly and put his hand down again.
"Eqike?"
"Little girl, you have grown up and got married now. Eqike can no longer hold you like he did when he was a child, haha!"
After gently patting his niece's head, Shuerhaqi could only smile helplessly.
"He Heli has met Erbeile!"
Just when Shuerhaqi was still feeling helpless that his niece was forced to marry when she was only ten years old, He Heli, who was invited by Nuerhaci and accompanied Dong Guo, also bowed to Shuerhaqi.
"You are He Heli? You are also a good man. Treat Dongguo well!"
Looking at his niece-in-law, who was several years older than himself, Shuerhaqi didn't know what to say. At this moment, he could only ask him to treat his niece well.
"Master Beile, the banquet is ready and it's time to start!"
Just when Shuerhaqi and He Heli were feeling a little embarrassed, an Aha happened to run over and reported to Nuerhachi that the banquet was ready.
"Haha, let's go have a drink!"
Taking this opportunity, Nuerhachi laughed loudly and pulled the two of them forward, thereby resolving their embarrassment.
…
Soon, in the banquet room where people were drinking and drinking, under the influence of alcohol, the embarrassment they had felt before disappeared quickly.
However, whether it was Shuerhaqi or Nuerhachi, the two of them had a very tacit understanding. Neither of them mentioned "business", they just talked about their brotherhood.
However, what is supposed to come will eventually come! Just in the middle of the banquet, Hu Erhan, who was adopted as his adopted son by slave Hechi, said something intentional or unintentional, and the warm atmosphere during the banquet instantly cooled down.
