Chapter 185: Tear down and rebuild

The strength of the fortress is beyond doubt, and even in countless European wars, it has been proven again and again that the fortress at its peak is almost insurmountable. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

If the Ming Dynasty has a fortress, it may not be able to save the fate of the Ming Dynasty's demise, not to mention the corrupt Ming Dynasty army, even the city of Beijing, a large population and a strong defensive capital, were lost in the hands of the peasant army, and the regular army of the entire Ming Dynasty was almost rotten to the bones, even if there was a fortress, it could not save the fate of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if there is a fortress, unless it can completely solve a series of problems at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the appearance of the fortress will at most delay the time in the hands of the Manchu Qing who fell in the north, but for the people in the south at that time, and even in Anhui, Hebei, it can really change everything.

For these people who don't want to be enslaved, the fortress has become their talisman, for example, in Jiangnan, the Qing army suffered huge losses, Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres, why was it slaughtered, isn't it because the Qing army suffered huge losses.

The traditional old city defense, insufficient training, and even the basic equipment did not have a complete army, so the Qing army suffered such large casualties, because if Yangzhou and Jiading at that time, they were guarded by fortresses and fortress chains, and the final result might be different.

Even if the Qing army can enter step by step, just one after another, the Qing Dynasty will be completely stopped, and the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty is only one or two million people, even if the surrendered Han army is added, it is not enough to defeat the entire Jiangnan, maybe it will become a great possibility to divide the river and rule.

Under the confrontation between the two sides, without the 300 years of the Qing Dynasty's perverse actions, the entire history of China is another result, and even later, when the climate of the Xiaoice River ends and the entire south begins to adjust the wind and rain, under the premise of the birth of one or two promising Ming monarchs, it is not impossible to counterattack and restart the Ming Dynasty.

History has no if, the fortress is just an excellent design, the design needs to be supported by materials, just like the engines of later generations, the concept is the same, and even Chinese designers can design better engines, but without excellent materials, these engines will become flowers in the mirror, the moon in the water.

Cement is the ultimate foundation, with cement, cement products, can be compared with rock, it is the strong foundation of the fortress.

The reason why the mountain is so high is because the stone is hard, even if it weighs 10,000 tons, it can withstand it, and the combination of cement and brick can approximate the strength of the stone, and the building can be built very high.

Height can not solve all problems, but can solve most of the problems, the heroic city in the era of cold weapons, all of them are backed by the mountains, with the help of the height of the mountains, the construction of a stepped defense, many times, just the height, can occupy enough advantages.

This requires geography, in fact, these Xiongcheng cities backed by the mountains have some characteristics of the fortress, the height is higher, the layers of arrangement, so that the number of people is brought into play, but such a city, it is very difficult to build, and it must be limited by the terrain, which is much more difficult than others, and the cost is extremely high.

The reason why mountains are mountains is because of their unique characteristics, and in the 21st century, some mountainous areas are generally poorer than plain areas, and the reason is very simple, rugged mountain roads, confined environments, and unobstructed traffic all restrict the development of mountainous areas.

Similar to this, the Xiongcheng built by the mountain, in the history is not rare, most of them, because of history and war, eventually disappeared without a trace, this kind of city, the requirements for the terrain is also higher, once the terrain is destroyed, it can not be built.

For example, in the past, Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Chang'an, after repeated wars, even the mountains that relied on the city were destroyed, and Xiongcheng disappeared, and there was no popularity. But the fortress is different, as long as the height is reached, with cement, it can be built, the mountain artery can be, the plain water network can be, and even a small fortress can be built on the island, which will become a nightmare for the attacker.

Zhao Xin made cement, not to see it, in order to strengthen the defense of Miaojiazhuang, even in the two days when the cement was made, he was not idle, for the entire house, carried out a systematic transformation, and even designed design drawings.

The appearance of Wang Xiansong, as well as Wei Gui's attitude, has become a long sword hanging over his head, which may fall at any time, find evidence, expose, and not give Baozhou a chance to mutiny, this is another way, but from the intelligence collection in front of him, it was found that the other party was very careful, it has been several days, in the city, there are no rumors about cutting off food, it seems that the other party has not made a move.

Zhao Xin knew very well that it was impossible for the other party not to make a move, the only possibility was that the other party had already made a move, but they didn't know it.

In fact, at present, the state judgment of the entire Baozhou is in a hurry at this moment, because of the matter of a close branch of the child, some people have begun to sue constantly, although it will not shake his position, if this matter is not handled well, it will easily affect his evaluation in Renzong, and even in Shilin, so there is no time to take care of him.

The state judgment is like this, and Tongzhi is almost the same, it is an incident caused by a trivial matter, but Tongzhi is a little more unlucky than the state judgment, he crossed the line, and he was bitten and did not let go, this matter is not easy to deal with, maybe after the trouble is big, it will affect his official position, and then it is impossible to serve as Tongzhi in Baozhou.

If Zhao Xin has a high-level intelligence source and knows about this matter, even if he doesn't know much about the officialdom environment in the Northern Song Dynasty, he will judge that the Wang family is making a move, because there is no reason for the first and second leaders to have problems at the same time.

It's a pity that Zhao Xin doesn't know about this matter, at this time, it's only at the high-end level, these things in the state capital, about the state judgment and the same knowledge, only the officials of the same state government know, they can't let this matter go to the extent that everyone knows, even the subordinates of the state yamen don't know what happened, they only know that the boss is in some trouble, and he hasn't been at work recently, and the atmosphere in the yamen is a little wrong, but how it is, I don't know.

Even the subordinates of the yamen did not know, and the things about the trouble encountered by the state judge and Tongzhi were only known from the middle and high-ranking officials, and these could not be the information that the steamed bun sales could investigate, and Miaojiazhuang knew nothing about this.

Wang Deyong is very careful, Yangmou is not casual, the rebellion is a killing, can only be slowly drawn, slowly arouse the anger of the army, he has been in the army for decades, and even his entire career is in the army, he knows very well how to provoke the army, he did this, but also to prevent accidents, after all, Baozhou is Renzong's territory, in case the state judge and Tongzhi care more, it is possible to make the plan fall short.

Wang Deyong is far away in Chuzhou, even if it is Wang Shi, he does not look at the steamed bread industry in his eyes, and does not try it himself, who knows, you can see it in the streets and alleys, cheap steamed buns can no longer be cheap, there will be such a big profit, and it is impossible not to know, the steamed bread industry, is investigating the intelligence of the entire Baozhou.

But the step-by-step strategy is also quite safe, one thing, can not make a fuss, first from the top, to cut off the contact between Baozhou and Renzong, this method is the best, to be honest, conceal from the top, these can be said to be stains, these officials out of their own considerations, it is impossible to make this matter to Renzong, as for the following, the action is there, but it is slowly carried out.

In fact, Zhao Xin didn't realize that the danger had come, if he was a little more sensitive in terms of intelligence and military, if he could open up and tell Sun Ji and the others, and let Sun Ji and the others help him judge the intelligence, it would already be quite obvious.

Recently, the proportion of soldiers buying steamed buns has increased significantly, and some people even complain when they buy them, and the food in the barracks is getting worse and worse.

The food standard of the barracks is fixed, this is not in the army for many years, and I don't realize that the appearance of steamed buns has given these soldiers other choices, even if they spend some money, at least, it does not cause group time, which is much smarter than directly cutting off food and salary, making soldiers' hearts float.

Zhao Xin has no experience in the army, these clues are already illustrative, but he ignored them, after all, steamed buns are delicious, even if he eats too much in later life, in the absence of other choices, he will choose steamed buns, not to mention these military leaders, maybe they have eaten too much, and their mouths have been raised, he didn't expect that Wang Deyong's choice for Wei Gui was to do it in this most common and easiest place, he just gradually lowered the food standard, and did not deduct the salary.

Zhao Xin didn't know that the other party had already made a move, but history told him that the Baozhou incident really happened, and the appearance of Wei Gui and Wang Xiansong proved this point.

Miaojiazhuang is very large, if the area is simple, he is not much better than Nanle County, and even larger than Nanle County, the reason is very simple, the rural farmers, the courtyard is as large as possible, one acre of land, two acres of land are very normal, plus the grain field, village road, and many other ancillary equipment, the entire Miaojiazhuang, the circumference is more than 2 kilometers.

As for the area, plus the expansion, there are almost 50 hectares, that is, more than 800 acres, and the house is located in the center of Miaojiazhuang, covering the most huge area, almost more than 30 acres, that is, 20,000 square meters.

Miao Yuan was far away, for this house, also quite bothered, before the construction is relatively solid, more than 6 meters of courtyard wall, or double brick courtyard wall, huge area and how large 5 courtyards, together arch the main house, so that the main house becomes impregnable.

Now, Zhao Xin's renovation opinions and design drawings are even more frustrating, and in a sense, he is rebuilding such a main house with the standard of the fortress, and will give full play to the overall layout.
