The arrogant Wu Sangui was not happy to hear this and said doubtfully:
"Of course I will fight Jiannu until death, why did uncle say this?"
"Haha, what I mean is that if you are surrounded by the Jian slaves and forced to surrender, my uncle will come to the rescue regardless of all difficulties and dangers. You must persist to the end and cannot choose to surrender."
What does it mean? Look down on people!
The furious Wu Sangui forced himself to hold back and shouted angrily: "In this world, there is only Wu Sangui who died in battle, but there is no Wu Changbo who surrendered!"
"Okay, very good, cheers for you, thumbs up for you!"
Um, why does this Uncle Huang speak so weirdly? What the hell is a like? It should sound like a good thing!
Wu Xiang was overjoyed when he heard Huang Yi's statement and said: "Your Uncle Huang is willing to draw his sword to help you when you need reinforcements. Why don't you kneel down and thank me!"
This time Huang Yi didn't want Wu Sangui to kowtow and take advantage of King Ping Xi, so he stopped him directly and said:
"I have taken it as my duty to kill slaves in my life. Of course I cannot sit back and watch the general who dared to fight a bloody battle with Jiannu fall into the sand! I will definitely do my best to save him!"
Wu Xiang put his hands on his hands and laughed and said: "Okay, very good. Guan Ning's army and Xuan Dajun are watching and helping each other, why are they afraid of establishing slaves?"
It was getting late, and after a few pleasantries and a lot of kind words, Huang Yi took everyone back.
They didn't take most of the items they seized, and only brought ten pieces of iron armor that were basically intact.
Huang Yi did not treat Geng Qi and the six warriors he brought badly, and distributed the real money and silver he found to them.
There were only seven people sharing the money, which was much more interesting. The precious metals each received were worth more than thirty taels of silver.
So they didn't mind Huang Yi giving up his beheading skills to Wu Xiang, and they didn't ask for the armor.
Although the sky was already pitch black, there was a slanting moon like a hook and numerous stars, which did not prevent Huang Yi from rushing along the official road. Around the second watch, he finally rushed back to Geng Zhanghua's camp.
At this time, Geng Zhanghua was almost dying of anxiety.
Because he got the news from Tangma and knew that Guan Ning's cavalry had stolen the chicken but lost the rice. He also received a letter sent by his father to deliver it quickly.
He didn't know that he had already obtained the credit, and he secretly hated Huang Yi for being troublesome! I was really worried that Huang Yi would fall into the chaos, so I didn't sleep and waited hard.
Upon hearing the news of Huang Yi's return, Geng Zhanghua immediately ran out of the camp.
Riding horses and galloping is not allowed in the camp, and it is strictly prohibited at night, so Huang Yi dismounted at the gate of the camp.
His sharp eyes saw Geng Zhanghua from a distance, who was still wearing a helmet and armor. He guessed that Geng Zhanghua hadn't slept at all and had been waiting for him. He took a few steps forward, cupped his fists and smiled:
"No surprises, no danger, and I got a little advantage, so you worry for nothing!"
Geng Zhanghua saw the iron armor carried on the war horse, pretended to be angry, and said:
"As expected, you guys fought against Jiannu. Geng Qi, what do you do for food?"
"What an injustice! We didn't think of taking action and just hid in the woods to watch the excitement. Who would have thought that Jiannu would actually chase that Jinzhou Vice General Wu all the way to our hiding place."
Next, Geng Qi Balabala said a lot, which were basically facts and could prove that the slave builders were looking for beatings and death, and Huang Yi and he had no choice but to go on a killing spree.
Ren Quanxu Quanwei came back, and Geng Zhanghua had actually calmed down. He learned that Huang Yi actually rescued a deputy general of Guan Ning Army, which was very honorable.
At this time, Wu Xiang was not well-known, and Geng Zhanghua neither knew nor heard of him.
Knowing that Jiannu's strength was still there, and knowing that friendly forces could not be trusted, Geng Zhanghua no longer had the interest to pursue.
Three days later, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Xuanda, saw the radiant Geng Zhanghua and asked where Huang Yi was. But he was told that he had gone back.
Geng Ruqi, who was originally very happy, was a little unhappy now. He said:
"Going back? Why didn't you stay? This time he has a chance to be summoned by the emperor!"
Geng Zhanghua had a helpless expression, and he said with some emotion: "Everyone has his own ambitions and we can't force him, so let him go!"
"Alas! This man is a general, but it's a pity that he doesn't know how to adapt. Even though I'm here, he actually avoids me. This character is so weird, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get along with him in the future!"
"He didn't avoid you on purpose, he just worked on his own and didn't interact with anyone.
He said that there was a lot of trouble in the base area, and there were so many Liao people who had just arrived a few days ago. They were worried that something might go wrong, so they couldn't waste time just to judge their merits and reward them!
So I gave him the paperwork to clear customs. "
There are prescribed routes for army mobilization. Huang Yi took his troops back to the base area and had to pass through the passes of the Inner Great Wall and the Outer Great Wall.
If you can't get the official certificate, you can't pass the test at all.
In order to facilitate Geng Zhanghua's actions, Geng Ruqi gave him several blank documents stamped with the seal of Governor Xuanda.
Therefore, Geng Zhanghua, a guerrilla general, was able to release Huang Yi's men.
People are willing to participate in the war but don't want any credit. What can Geng Ruqi say? All he could do was sigh:
"Forget it, forget it, I won't argue with him, but based on his personality, I'm afraid it won't work for him to marry me!"
"Your analysis is too correct. He is a heroic man and there is no way he would agree to marry into his family!"
"But there are so many dangers there, how can I let Yue Ling be worried all day long?"
"I have read and asked about it. The city in the base area can be surrounded by a stone wall two to three feet high in autumn. Safety is still guaranteed."
"Oh? So fast? Is it possible?"
"Last time I saw one wall completed, and saw mountains of stones. In the past few months, he has been able to recruit tens of thousands more people, and he should be able to complete four walls!"
"Does the city in the base have a name?"
"I haven't heard him say it, so he probably didn't give it a name!"
Huang Yi didn't mean to avoid meeting Geng Ruqi, he just wanted to return home.
Because he knew the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty, he was worried that after meeting Governor Xuanda, he would have to obey orders and accept arrangements, and might be delayed in the capital for a month or two.
When I start my business in the base area, time waits for me!
Two months later, the fields in the base area were golden, the wheat and millet were ripe, and the sorghum was red. Every hardworking person had a smile of joy on his face.
In these three or four months, a total of seven groups of Liao residents and refugees came to the base area, numbering more than 10,000.
Huang Yi adopts a management method in which work is divided into individual responsibilities. We have achieved that everyone has a job, and the labor force is basically used in a reasonable manner.
The work of reclaiming wasteland has been ongoing. In June, July and August, three thousand and hundreds of large livestock and more than 6,000 male and female laborers completed a total of 30,000 acres.
The reason why the efficiency is not high is that these 30,000 acres are uncultivated land. The workload of cutting down trees, digging stones, and cultivating soil is quite large, and the man-hours consumed are three times that of the previously cultivated acres.
Two thousand men and women participated in repairing seven small reservoirs with cement and stones according to local conditions. Water storage began in early August. Even with the addition of hundreds of irrigation wells, it was still unable to meet the needs of the 80,000 acres of irrigated land.
