Zhao Qi carried a lantern and checked back and forth in the yard, then went to the toilet to pee, and turned on a light for the new toilet separated by men and women. Then he hummed a small song and shook out, and saw a black shadow standing outside the toilet.

Zhao Qi was so scared that his pants almost fell off when he shook his hands. After seeing clearly that it was Xiao Wu, he was so amused that he quickly tied his pants.

"Xiao Wu, why haven't you left yet!"

"I... I want to ask you something!" Xiao Wu turned his head to the side.

"Do you want to ask Brother Wuliang's news?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Well, Brother Wuliang has been out for almost twenty days and hasn't seen him come back. I'm a little worried!"

"Don't worry, he is doing well now. I met him in the county town a few days ago!" Zhao Qi said with a sigh of relief.

"So it's really him!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up but he said with a puzzled look on his face, "A few days ago, I sent a flyer in the county town and saw a man who looked very much like Wuliang's brother. I chased him and shouted that he didn't agree, and he soon disappeared. I thought I had read it wrong!"

"Xiao Wu, I'll arrange for Wuliang to do a very secret thing. If you meet him in the county again, don't talk to him, so that others will find him!" Zhao Qi quickly reminded him when he heard this.

"So that's the case. I thought he didn't want to be with us anymore. I remember that when I go back, I will let my younger brothers and sisters know about this. In the future, I will pretend not to know my brothers!" Xiao Wu nodded seriously.

"This is the best. Don't talk about this everywhere. It's too late, you can go back and go to bed early!"

"Brother Xiaoqi, there is one more thing..." Xiaowu looked at Zhao Qi.

"Speak up!" Zhao Qi nodded.

"I...I don't want to go to the construction site to help, I want to follow you..." Xiao Wu lowered his head and said softly.

"Follow me..." Zhao Qi pinched his chin and thought for a while, "I have nothing to do on weekdays. At most, I have more opportunities to go to the city. There is nothing fun to do with you, and I am basically rushing to the road!"

"I don't want to play, I want to help you!"

"It's a good thing to help me. You are too young. In a few years, I will arrange some things for you to do!" Zhao Qi smiled and shook his head.

"I...I'm not young anymore. I'm fourteen years old this year, and I'm only one year younger than you. I've learned martial arts with my brother Wuliang. Ordinary people can't beat me..."

Xiaowu looked up at Zhao Qi with anticipation.

"Although sweeping and washing vegetables on the construction site is easy, I don't like it. I have learned how to drive and ride a horse on the construction site recently. I can help you drive in the future. If you have any questions, I can also help you run errands. It will not be worse than that of Brother Donggua!"

"This... OK, you will follow me from tomorrow and make it clear. I have to try it for a while to see the effect. If you don't do it well enough, then go back to the construction site to help!" Zhao Qi nodded seriously.

"Okay, don't worry, I will do a good job, and Xiaojiu..."

"Then you two, Xiaoliu, Qi and Xiaoba are both girls. After the house is repaired, you don't have to go to the construction site cafeteria to help. Just stay at home to take care of your younger brothers, sisters, grandmother and the others. It's too late, you should go back to bed earlier!"

"Thank you, Young Master!" After a few months, Xiao Wu called Mr. Zhao Qi for the first time, and there was a slight choking in the surprise.

"Well, we are all a family. Be careful when working. Please don't panic when you encounter something, go!" Zhao Qi rubbed Xiaowu's head with his hands, and then stuffed the lantern in her hand into her hand.

Seeing Xiao Wu's thin figure leaving the yard and a dim light slowly entered the yard of A'an's house, Zhao Qi then sighed and sat on the steps in front of the living room.

These children have no father or mother since childhood, but they are all very strong. I am afraid they will never experience the suffering they have experienced in their entire lives.

Although Xiao Wu is introverted and cold, he is kind by nature. Although he is not big, he takes care of a group of younger brothers and sisters who are also orphans in every way, just like an adult.

It was this group of children that Zhao Qi found a way to keep Qian Wuliang.

The night is as bright as water.

A full moon in the sky is like a silver plate hanging in the quiet sky, emitting a faint silver light.

At this time, the direction of Yanggong Town and the harbor was still brightly lit, and a faint sound of singing and dancing came from the cool night breeze.

Zhao Qi looked up at the familiar moon blankly, thinking that after he died in another world, he didn't know that his parents would be suffering after hundreds of years.

This feeling is both lonely and sad, and it also brings some doubts and confusion.

Is this the Song Dynasty in Chinese history or another parallel space?

If it is the same period of history, then if you now and yourself seven hundred years later have a soul, is this considered reincarnation or a disorder of time and space?

Moreover, when Zhao Qi remembered the black iron seal that Old Mrs. Su took out a few days ago, he felt a little weird.

Duke Zhou was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was not yet welcoming the times. He wanted to die in that year, but who knows the authenticity of his life?

The character Wang Mang was despised in feudal dynasties throughout the ages.

But in the new era, with the discovery of archaeology, Wang Mang was given the title of time traveler by many people, because what he did after becoming emperor was almost incompatible with the thinking of the Han Dynasty.

For example, the vernier caliper he invented, and the short skirt that his concubine in the harem wore.

There are also various reform measures he has implemented. According to his idea, it is necessary to implement state-owned land distribution to households...

Is this God reminding me not to be the second Wang Mang?

Zhao Qi pinched his chin and looked at the moon in a daze.

The universe was built, and the imperial map was hegemony.

Or maybe my family is trapped in the current situation because my cheap grandfather wants to rebel and be chased by the court in the future?

A faint light shaking in the darkness amidst the random thoughts. Accompanied by the slight footsteps, A Lian came in from outside the yard with a lantern, holding a coat in her hand.

"Xiaoqi, it's late at night, go back to sleep!" The woman gently put her coat on Zhao Qi.

"Baoer is asleep?" Zhao Qi hugged the woman in his arms and stroked her gently.

The woman was instantly weak all over, her eyes were blurred and her head hugged Zhao Qi's neck and nodded gently: "I'm asleep, and I'm still muttering to listen to you when I'm telling you the story of Zhu Bajie carrying his wife..."

"The house is almost repaired. I'll take you to see if the big bed in my room is fine?" Zhao Qi stood up with the woman's hand.

"Okay!" The woman blushed and followed Zhao Qi closely with a lantern like a young wife. The two of them walked hand in hand in the moonlight and transferred through the hall to the backyard.

Although we are fighting now, we still live the life we ​​should live. We should still be happy when we should be happy. We should not cry and shout and hang ourselves all day just because we are fighting in front of us. This is not the correct attitude towards life.

The history of human civilization is actually a history of war. Human beings have gone from primitive tribes to countries that are now spread all over the world, and there is no shortage of this battle between Mongolia and Song dynasties.

What's more, according to the known historical trend, the Song Dynasty will not lose this time, but it is just as cowardly as ever.

Moreover, according to the news circulating in newspapers and among the people in the past two months, the situation in Sichuan has stabilized. Although the attack of Mengge Khan's three-way army was smooth, it also encountered the desperate resistance of Sichuan soldiers and civilians. Because they were looted by the Mongols several times, the defenders in Sichuan now adopted the tactic of defending the city with a strong wall and clearing the fields. This allowed the Mongols who were not good at siege to encounter great resistance. The speed of advancement was far less than that of Mengge's plan. Therefore, the 100,000 Mongolian troops were killed like mad dogs when they saw people and slaughtered when they met villages. Almost implemented the complete Three Lights policy. Wherever the Mongolian army passed, there were only a piece of barren land and corpses everywhere.

But the more the Mongols killed, the more they stimulated the will of the Sichuan military and civilians to resist. The massacre of the Mongols twenty years ago had already made the Sichuan people hate the Mongols to the core, and there was no possibility of compromise at all. Therefore, although the three Mongolian army successively captured most prefectures and counties in Chengdu and Tongchuan Prefectures in just half a year, they encountered stubborn resistance in Jiazhou and Dazhou. Only the Central Army led by Mengge himself was the fastest and approached Chongqing Prefecture. However, the three armies advancing in unison was broken, resulting in some chaos in the logistics and connection of the Mongolian army.

At the same time, the Mongolian Eastern Route Army also encountered the tenacious resistance of the Song Dynasty and was unable to break through the Jingshan defense line. After several months, both sides suffered casualties, but the population in the Central Plains had long been killed and one hundred people had been killed. Although the population was still severely insufficient after more than 20 years of cultivation, the population was still severely insufficient, and the people who could not support the 50,000 Mongolian troops were chewed, and the logistics supplement was stretched. On the other hand, the Song Dynasty was different. The backing along the wealthy Yangtze River was dense and the population was sufficient. The food and grass recruited by various routes could also be replenished in time. In fact, the Huaihe River defense line now has an advantage, but Jia Sidao, who was defending the two Huai Rivers, did not intend to send troops to attack Tachaer's rear and took the initiative to attack. The two sides were in a fierce battle and confrontation. The commander Tachaer was also ordered by Mengge to break through Jingshan before the beginning of winter, but the Song Dynasty's tenacious defense made it difficult for the situation to be opened.

In addition, Lu Wende's Guizhou reinforcements had also entered Sichuan, forming a certain role in hindering Mongolia's troops attacking Jiazhou. After the news of reinforcements entering Sichuan spread, the enthusiasm of Sichuan military and civilians to resist increased a little.

Although they are just some very trivial frontline news, Zhao Qi can also roughly infer that this time, Mengge's personal expedition was similar to that in history.

If Tachar's army cannot make much progress by the beginning of winter, it will be replaced by Kublai Khan, and the defense line of the Great Song Dynasty's Huaihe River will soon collapse.

As for the 100,000 elite troops who attacked Sichuan, they would encounter more inspiring resistance and would be blocked by the defenders of Diaoyu City and could not move forward. Then, after the two sides fought for a full half year, Meng Ge would die.

While Mengge died, Kublai Khan had already broken through the Yangtze River natural barrier and surrounded Ezhou.

In addition, a large army occupied by Mongolia, led by commander Wulianghetai, has also reached Tanzhou.

However, these are no longer important, because Alibuge is ready to ascend the throne as the Mongolian Khan, and Kublai Khan has to withdraw his troops.

The Second World War in Mongolia and Song dynasty lasted less than two years. Both sides invested more than one million troops, and their losses were different.

Mengge's death directly led to the split of the Mongol Empire, and the Western Expedition stopped, and Europe was able to breathe. Kublai Khan was nominally the Mongol Khan, but in fact the scope of control was only the eastern region.

In fact, in this war, there were two characters worthy of Zhao Qi's attention. One was Lu Wende who assisted Chongqing. After this battle, he became famous and then stationed in the most important Xiangyang City.

Another person is Jia Sidao. Because he made great contributions in commanding the defense of Ezhou, he was directly enthroned by the young master. He became the center in one step and served as the Pingzhang Office of the Secretariat, generalized the government and controlled the military. He thus embarked on the road of autocracy and missed the opportunity to improve military preparations in Mongolia.

One step is wrong, and the timid nature of the Song Dynasty court's mediocre ability to live a life of life can be seen from this, and there is no desire to be enterprising in the slightest desire to survive.

This time, Zhao Qi had already instigated Wu Qian to go to Ezhou in advance, and then spared no effort to donate military salaries. The purpose was only one, that is, to let Wu Qian take the credit for the defense of Ezhou in his hands, use this to suppress Jia Sidao, and then continue to engage with Wu Qian, constantly instill measures, and take advantage of the opportunity of civil strife in Mongolia to step up preparations for war. This may allow the Song Dynasty to survive for a few more years.

This was not only an opportunity for the Song Dynasty, but also a chance for Zhao Qi himself.
