The rooster reported that the world was white, and when the rooster crowed, the tranquility of the village was broken, and the whole Miaojiazhuang began to wake up. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the previous village, Miaojiazhuang has been much more lively, in the past, the villagers in the village, only when the farm is busy, will be busy, rushing to plant and harvest, but in most of the other time, are lazy, this is also the life scene of feudal society, the whole rhythm is quite slow.

Now, Miaojiazhuang has more steamed bread industry, from the original only for Chinese food and dinner, to now, three meals a day, especially breakfast, someone began to prepare before dawn, after dawn, it is to reach the extreme, hundreds of people steamed steamed bread together, specially ordered large steamers, also put on the water, steam transpiration.

Zhao Xin rested too late last night, but today, still get up early in the morning, with the card system of the fortress, there is no need to carry out the expansion project, not to mention the hard work, but also easy to be seen through the reality by the opponent, in case there is any mistake, it will be a little more than worth the loss.

There was no way before, he could only process the mansion in the interior of Miaojiazhuang, and in the face of a regular army like the Yunyi Army, as well as the actions of the Wang family and the forces behind it, he had to forcibly open it.

Now that you have a bastion, you can choose a more suitable place, and even, adding a moat to the bastion should be no problem.

The moat, which is one of the important barriers of the castle, has not, is completely two concepts of defensive strength.

Near Miaojiazhuang, there is a section where two rivers intersect, surrounded by farmland, empty and unobstructed, as long as a suitable channel is dug, it is a natural moat.

The role of the moat for a city defense, quite excellent, generally speaking, there is a moat and no moat, the strength of the defense is two different things, when attacking the city, under the premise that there is no way to fill the moat, no one will directly attack the city wall, because the impact of the moat is too great, not only affects the speed, but also affects the area where the soldiers come into contact with the city wall.

In the middle of this, it has to be said that the defensive strength of the city, as well as the attack power, is the fundamental reason why this moat can play a role, the defensive strength of the fortress has become harder because of the moat, as for the fortress, the troops responsible for guarding are mainly longbowmen, with the moat, they will lose more strength before attacking under the city wall and touching the city wall.

Zhao Xin looked at the river in front of him, imagined the future, and put the fortress here, surrounded by a moat several meters deep, two of which are still natural living water, unless the river is blocked, the water cannot be drained away.

Although these two rivers are small, but the amount of water is not small, to block, not only requires a lot of cost, but also takes a long time, in the battlefield, the attacking side has an absolute advantage, he has this time to wait, but simply in the Baozhou mutiny, they do not have so much time.

Yesterday, the sound of clanging walls and houses has disappeared today, and the sudden shutdown is a little unacceptable. The crazy drawings were just made yesterday, and the work will be stopped today, and even the houses of the village elders will not be occupied, but Miao Yuan's house has been pushed.

Miao Yuan's house is the closest to the main house, and Miao Yuan is also the most supportive, and in the afternoon of the same day, he brought people over to demolish the house, but it was only half a day, half of the main house was demolished, and most of the walls were demolished.

Even if the work is stopped now, the impact has been created, and it will definitely be restored, Zhao Xin simply said, as a reward for Miao Yuan's support work, Zhao Xin decided to use Miao Yuan's house as a model and build it, that is to say, simply Miao Yuan's house, continue to demolish, and after the complete demolition, rebuild it.

Zhao Xin had already designed the drawings before, but it was the model of a small building, and the area was also much smaller, and it was built in the original place of Miao Yuan's house, which was slightly smaller.

Zhao Xin made certain modifications to the drawings, and added the design of a two-story small building as a sample of the courtyard house in later generations, which was mainly squared, increasing the area of the main house and making it a lot more spacious.

After Miao Yuan saw the drawings, he liked it, and the others were also secretly envious, and they even looked forward to it, why not bulldoze their house, so that they could also enjoy the new architecture.

Zhao Xin didn't care what they thought, just to do something for the recruited construction team, this small building concentrates the Chinese style and the unique design of later generations, if you talk about this design, the only thing that is still a little bit of a problem is that there is no glass, the courtyard can only be papier-mâché windows, and the light looks a lot dimmed.

In ancient chemistry, there is glass, and even transparent glass is available, but Zhao Xin is now, there are thousands of things, it turns out that the steamed bun business, as long as he takes out enough soda ash every day, the rest will not be taken care of, but the matter of defense and team training, before it is on the right track, he still needs to deal with it personally.

The three magic weapons of the traverser, so far, Zhao Xin has not come up with any of them, or on the premise that the formula has appeared, forget it, it is just a small house, there is no need, first follow the tradition.

Zhao Xin's sudden change, but also Sun Ji and others at a loss, they also want to find out the strength of this cement from the expansion of the main house, fortunately, the two-story bungalow should also be repaired, although it is not a defensive building, but some unique properties, the speed of construction, can also show, especially in the design, the design of the unique building, how to build a higher house under the premise, the foundation and the bottom layer of the support to lay a good foundation, this is what they are concerned about.

In addition to Zhao Xin's order to stop the renovation project, the recruitment of masons also stopped, and those who have been recruited will not be returned, Miao Yuan's house, as well as the future barracks, all need some buildings, and they all need masons to build, but the cost is smaller, and the existing ones and those of Miaojiazhuang itself are almost enough.

The huge plan to protect the fortifications dissipated in the embryonic form, but fortunately, only a few people knew about Zhao Xin's crazy magic change.

In the next two days, Zhao Xin almost explored around, except for the place where the two rivers intersected, other places were also seen, but after comprehensive consideration, it was the most suitable place where the two rivers intersected.

Even if these two small rivers are not big, they are 4 meters wide and almost 3 meters deep, and the silt and sand under the natural river channels will form a natural barrier, enough to stop the attackers.

In addition to the convenience of the moat, there is also a reason that here, from Miaojiazhuang is only about 170 meters, all around is farmland, at least, within 500 meters, there is nothing to obstruct, there are no tall trees and high ground, if the fortress is now here, it can definitely be called a wide field of vision.

The fortress itself is not aggressive, all his performance comes from the strong defense of the fortress itself, but in the fortress, because of the defense, it can allow the longbowman to endlessly play its things, for the bow and arrow, the most important thing is the field of vision, the field of vision is unobstructed, and there is no place for stealth, so as to maximize the power of the longbow.

And with the moat, it can delay the opponent's time, when blocking and draining the moat, they can't attack the city wall at all, and they have to bear more damage, which is directly equivalent to ten days and half a month more time for defending the city, and even if the longbow team is sharp enough, just by virtue of the moat, their lethality can increase rapidly.

There must be a time limit for the Baozhou mutiny, this is Hebei, it is the northern front, they suddenly detonated the mutiny, maybe in the early stage, quite suddenly, the Northern Song Dynasty needs time to react, this time is not endless, although the Wang family will definitely set up some trouble, but he can't come out in name, and even on the premise of intentional or unintentional, but also to avoid being involved with him, in this case, at most a month

According to the size and shape of the fortress, Zhao Xin selected this area and began to set the task of excavating the river.

The same 4 meters wide and 3 meters deep, fortunately, the total length is not too long, more than 100 meters, almost 2000 cubic meters, 100 people, do it slowly, almost 10 days, can also be completed.

Of course, Zhao Xin will not use the name of the moat, and no one will believe it. He only built the canal in the name of the cement, and with the cement, the canal would be even better, at least, under the erosion of the water, the canal would no longer gradually dissipate over time.

Arranged step by step, in two days, the personnel they recruited in advance also arrived, a total of 36 master craftsmen and more than 100 ordinary craftsmen, plus more than 300 laborers, together to form a construction team, responsible for the construction of Miao Yuan's main house, excavation of canals.

Zhao Xin doesn't know if any of these people are mixed with spies, but how can they have kung fu to run through these, among these people, even if they are mixed with spies, it doesn't matter much, this is the best single, at most the application of cement is added,

Cement is a chemical product, he is similar to soda ash, even if someone can see the benefits of this thing, but they can't make it, all of them are cement made by chemical methods, and even the formula is only known to Zhao Xin, for others, it is like coming out of thin air, and it can be figured out by relying solely on masons.

To put it bluntly, this house, except for the use of cement mortar and some reinforced concrete, is exactly the same as ordinary house construction.

Since it can't be imitated, then take it out generously and use it, and it can be regarded as familiarizing yourself with cement, in the future, after getting through this difficulty, Zhao Xin will definitely not stay in Miaojiazhuang anymore, and must find a special place that belongs to his control, and when the time comes, the city built up by cement and steel bars will become a nightmare for the attackers
