Chapter 013: The Last Technique
Song Taiping rejuvenated the country in four years (979 years), Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi extinguished the Northern Han regime with Jinyang as the capital, because of the hatred of the Jinyang military and people to the Song army stubborn resistance and fear of Jinyang's reputation as the "Dragon City", then ordered the burning of Jinyang City, and led Fen, Jin Zhishui to raze Jinyang City as ruins, an ancient city that has lasted for thousands of years has been completely destroyed.
Three years later, due to the needs of national defense, the new Taiyuan city re-emerged in Tangming Town, which is more than 40 miles north of Kuching Yangcheng, but the new Taiyuan city has a small wall and no cross street that can be used for street fighting, and finally more than 140 years later, that is, in the first year of Jingkang, after holding on to August, it was broken by the Jin people, and the people of Taiyuan who survived the starvation were almost slaughtered by the Jin people.
Since Jingkang retired from Tokyo City in the second year, so as to serve as the Taiyuan guard, counting, Wanyan Yinshu can be in Taiyuan City, has been in Taiyuan City for more than a year.
To be honest, Wanyan Yinshu didn't like Taiyuan City at all, the air here was always filled with the smell of smoke and dead corpses.
In his spare time, he would come to the west city wall, facing the surging Fenshui, sighing for the past and the present, and being in a daze.
He is fifty-five years old, and the perennial expedition has scarred him, just like this expedition to Shaanxi, the leader of the troops is Wanyan Lou Room, seven or eight years younger than him, the idol of the new generation of Jurchen warriors, and he is full of silver skills, but it seems to have been forgotten.
Since it has occupied the east of the river, why did it stop fighting and conquer the cities in Shaanxi and Hebei, could it be that after the return of the city of Tokyo, the Dajin Kingdom has become conservative and began to rest on its laurels, only wanting to occupy the north of the Yellow River?
Looking to the south, it is the ruins of Jinyang City, when Jingkang besieged Taiyuan City in the first year, he led his troops to be stationed here. If it weren't for Zhao Er's incompetent small-bellied chicken intestines and burning Jinyang City, the thousand-year-old "Dragon City", to the ground, would it be possible for the Jin soldiers to break through this eternal Xiongguan with enough soldiers?
"But to make the dragon city fly, do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain."
Wanyan Yinshu shook his head slightly, the timid Song people defeated themselves by themselves.
However, when he thought of the man who jumped on his horse with a spear and was like a god in the middle of the city, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
"Finish the silver technique, leave your head!"
On that day, the two armies fought against each other, and the scene of Wang Song's angry eyes once again came into his mind.
It was precisely because he was repelled outside the Xuanhua Gate that he became a sinner in the minds of tens of millions of Jurchen warriors, so that he could only watch from the wall in the Song and Jin Wars in Hebei, Shaanxi.
"Even after Yan Sali drank that guy, he could lead the troops to crusade and attack one side, but he had no place to use it!"
Wanyan Yinshu could inexplicably smile bitterly, if the soldiers at hand were strong and strong, he would want to lead the troops south and approach Tokyo City.
"As long as you capture Tokyo City and capture Emperor Song, see who dares to despise him for his complete silver skills!"
As if to confirm what he thought, his soldiers hurried up to the city wall, knelt on one knee, and said the words that made the blood in his chest boil instantly.
"The deputy capital is in charge, Wang Songbing is in Hebei, and he has taken Zezhou and Longde Mansion, and now he is hoarding in Longde Mansion, with tens of thousands of soldiers, eyeing ...... tiger."
Before the soldiers finished speaking, Wan Yan Yinshu had already stood up.
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, Wang Song's soldiers were in the east of the river, attacking the city, it can be said that the road is narrow, he naturally wants to be ashamed of the snow, take Wang Songxiang's head, and shock the world.
Tens of thousands of male soldiers, how could Wang Song defend the city, wouldn't it make people laugh off their big teeth.
Thinking about it, I'm afraid it's just a certain unit of the Song Army, under the banner of Wang Song, swaggering and scaring people.
"Order the whole army and prepare to defend the city."
Wanyan Yinshu hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Quickly go and find out, who is the defender of this Longde Mansion?"
Although there were tens of thousands of horses in the city, they could only fight in the field, not attack the city. If you want to attack the city, you must gather the Han'er in the east of the river, but ......
Now Shaanxi and Hebei are all intertwined, scuffles, if there is chaos here, once there is a mistake, I am afraid that it will affect the entire overall situation.
The Jin generals on the side came up and hesitated: "Deputy commander, Wang Song's loyal and righteous troops are all elite, should we report this matter to Mu Han, listen to his opinion, and then make plans?"
After all, the commander of the Jinren Western Route Army is Wanyan Zonghan, and reporting to him is also doing things according to the rules, and no one will have much to do.
"That's it, let's go and investigate first, see which people are all the way, and then report to Sticky Han."
The sergeant went down and looked in the direction he was going, and Wanyan Yinshu suddenly asked.
"You all tell me, if Wang Song leads tens of thousands of troops and sits in Longde Mansion, with the soldiers and horses of our Taiyuan City, who will win and who will lose with Wang Song?"
"This ......"
The surrounding generals were all shocked, and after looking at each other, someone finally replied.
"Wang Song trained his troops and stood alone in the world, and the Song people were invincible. If it is a field battle, tens of thousands of troops will face off, and the warriors of our Dajin Kingdom will not be left behind. But if we defend the city and our army attacks it, I am afraid that the chance of victory is not great. ”
In the two battles outside Xuanhua Gate, Wang Song's firearms were sharp, the soldiers were elite, and they were not afraid of death, even if they were the Jurchen elite, they could not destroy their edge.
Now that Wang Song personally commanded the troops to attack, all the generals were worried and uneasy.
After finishing Yan Yinshu, he felt a sadness in his heart, and he couldn't imagine that Wang Song's rampage would make the unruly Jurchen warriors who crisscrossed the battlefield have the idea of retreating.
"Deng Shixiong, how did the official explain your affairs, has our cement been made?"
When he was in Tokyo, Wang Song handed over the matter to Deng Shixiong, and he handled it single-handedly.
Among Wang Song's three major descendants, Dong Ping and Zhang Heng are both from the green forest, only this Deng Shixiong is a child of a good family, and his brothers are also local villagers, so it is most appropriate to leave such a thing to him.
"Xianggong, the soil and cement have been made, the villain will take you over!"
Deng Shixiong had just returned from Hebei, and there was a hint of excitement in his expression.
A newly built earthen kiln stands next to the eastern city of Licheng. A group of potters were sweating profusely, led by Deng Shixiong's fellow villager Deng Wu.
Don't look at Deng Wu's age, but he is a clever person. Deng Shixiong gave him the general formula of soil cement, he experimented every day, often stayed up all night, spent more than a month of effort, and was stunned to get him the cement.
The clay kiln was producing at this time, calcining the powder made of limestone and clay, mixing it with the slag left over from smelting sulfur after calcination, and then grinding the stone driven by water drainage, which is the clay cement made.
Wang Song looked at the underground soil and cement site and couldn't help but nodded.
He stepped forward and stepped on it with his foot and asked, "Brother Deng Shixiong, have you tried this cement, and is it easy to use?" ”
Deng Wu on the side saw Deng Shixiong looking at him, and hurriedly went up and said: "Don't worry, the villain has tried many times, and it is so hard that the hammer can't be broken!" ”
Rows of sheds along the Zhanghe River are littered with limestone and clay. On five or six huge grinding discs, the water row crank is pulling the stone and crushing the quicklime. On the concrete-paved ground, a dozen sweaty men were straining the clay through a sieve. And the slag is being picked up by the men, one by one, in bamboo baskets, and then packed in cloth bags.
Deng Wu said to Wang Song with admiration: "Xianggong, you really opened the eyes of the little one!" Adding gypsum powder to the mixture can delay the hardening time of this cement, so that it hardens for a longer time, which is very conducive to control. ”
Deng Shixiong hurriedly turned to Deng Wu, and complained in his mouth: "Fifth brother, in front of the prime minister, don't talk nonsense!"
"Deng Wu, how can this official have these skills!"
Wang Song laughed, he accidentally became a construction worker. He said: "Deng Wu, you are very good, you have made our soil cement so quickly, which can be regarded as a great achievement!" The official will be rewarded for his merits, and he will withdraw 100 yuan from the account as your reward! ”
Deng Shixiong saw that Wang Song was not angry, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said to Deng Wu, who was overjoyed: "Fifth brother, what are you doing in a daze, don't thank you Xianggong!"
Deng Wu used to be just an ordinary peasant kid, although he participated in several battles, and the silver he got was only about 20 yuan. This time I got 50 yuan, which can be regarded as a miracle fortune.
Although he had already experienced life and death, Deng Wu was still overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for the reward!"
Wang Song shook his head and said: "They are all brothers who were born and died together, so I don't thank you for anything." You follow the official, throw your head and spill your blood, and the official will let you all live a good life, get ahead, and glorify your ancestors! ”
Deng Wu's chest was hot, and he said in a trembling voice: "Xianggong's great kindness, the villain is unforgettable, the villain must be the first to look forward to the Xianggong, go to the soup and go to the fire, and never give up!" ”
Deng Shixiong also bowed: "The villain thanked the minister for Deng Wu!"
Wang Song said in a deep voice: "Two brothers, this cement formula is a weapon of the country, stay in our Great Song Dynasty, if this flow to the Jin Kingdom, Western Xia, or Western Liao, the enemy army will take this to build a city, how can we recover the lost territory at that time, when attacking the city, my Great Song Dynasty may have to die a lot of soldiers!" So you must keep it secret, and you must not be careless! ”
Seeing that Wang Song said solemnly, both of them bowed down, and Deng Shixiong said solemnly: "Don't worry, the villain will not leak this secret even if he loses his life!"
Deng Wu also said in a trembling voice: "Don't worry, the villain will never let these barbarians get the formula of soil and cement." If they want to, they will step on the little corpse! ”
"Two brothers, this official absolutely believes in you!"
Wang Song said: "Deng Wu, this cement workshop is presided over by you, you must be cautious and strictly guard against the fine work of gold thieves!"
The cement formula is fixed, which can also drive the employment of hundreds of disabled brothers in the mountains, and can also solve the problem of feeding some people.
Although earth cement is not as strong as real Portland cement, it is stronger than other building materials of the same era. In addition, the production of soil cement is simple and fast, and the raw materials are available everywhere, which can be used on a large scale.
Wang Song was silent for a moment, and said loudly: "Longde Mansion faces the Jin people, you arrange some people to go over, build a cement kiln in the city of Longde Mansion, and repair the city wall first, so as not to attack the Jin people."
Even if the Jurchens really want to attack and mobilize troops, horses, food and grass, it will take at least half a month, and when the city wall of Longde Mansion is properly repaired, at least it can greatly kill and injure the other party.
Only by defeating the Jin people can we ensure spring ploughing and hope for the future.
