Chapter 207: The Rat Extermination Army
Sanssouci Cave is so powerful, Feng Dao knows it, Guo Wei doesn't know?
"The old man has already reported this matter to His Majesty, Your Majesty is extra careful, but the pounders are underground, and Your Majesty has no way to deal with them, so you can only take more precautions and be careful to protect yourself."
Guo Wei has cleared all the eunuchs in the palace, replaced them with a group of new people, and selected pro-soldiers from his henchmen, especially the hussar guards, who replaced the crane control army that was responsible for the emperor's security in the past.
All in all, Guo Wei made a lot of preparations, and there were some things that even Ye Hua didn't know.
But if there are a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves, and if one hundred secrets are negligent, it will not be good if the pounders can take advantage of it.
And Feng Dao told Ye Hua.
It has been almost 50 years since the beginning of Sanssouci Cave.
The eunuchs who called for wind and rain in the palace may still be alive...... All of them are demons who have become spirits, they are very powerful, there are so many emperors in the five generations, and there are few who have a good death. But how to do it and how to harm people without worrying about it, there is no news to be revealed, and this alone can see their cleverness!
It's definitely a tough opponent!
Ye Hua thought about it for a long time, and gradually had a plan in his heart, but whether it could be done or not still needed to be verified. Ye Hua decided to go to the political hall, and since he fell out with several ministers, Ye Hua came here for the first time.
Fan Zhen and Li Gu were both hiding and disappeared, and only Wei Renpu came.
He said indifferently: "Champion Hou, aren't you busy running a school?" How can you have time to come to the small political hall? ”
Ye Hua snorted dissatisfiedly, "Xianggong Wei, you are a trusted confidant of the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty's mastermind, you have nothing to fight with me, just rely on your heart, and you still want to compare Jiang Ziya and Zhang Liang?" I'm afraid that even Guan Zhong Leyi can't compare! You're so disappointing! ”
Wei Renpu was stunned, he smacked it twice, but he didn't understand whether Ye Hua praised him or sarcastically mocked him...... Jiang Ziya, Zhang Liang, Guan Zhong, Le Yi. Can the old man compare to them?
Wei Renpu, this old guy, has a good reputation, and he used to be obsessed with the status of the three phases, but Ye Hua's words made him feel that his goal was too low?
If you can assist the Holy Monarch and dominate the world, even if you are better than Jiang Ziya and Zhang Liang, there is nothing wrong with it!
Thinking of this, Lao Wei barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
"Champion Hou has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, say it!"
Sure enough, he is a man of fame and fortune!
Ye Hua caught the old fox's weakness, and said lightly: "Wei Xianggong has heard of Kaifeng's pounding?" ”
Wei Renpu was puzzled, "Where are there some scoundrels and ruffians, and it is normal for the huge Kaifeng to hide dirt and dirt!" ”
"I'm talking about those cubs trained by eunuchs, who can assassinate the emperor!"
"Ahh
Lao Wei cried out in shock, he looked around to confirm that there was no one, and then he came to Ye Hua's front and said cautiously: "How do you know?" Could it be that His Majesty told you? ”
Wei Renpu lowered his voice, he told Ye Hua that Guo Wei was indeed very concerned about this matter, and had secretly sent the Imperial City Division to investigate, and specially instructed Wei Renpu to find a way to deal with it.
The old man was ashamed, and he had not come up with a way to deal with it, so he could only be more vigilant...... Champion Hou, have you paid attention? ”
"I don't dare to say that there is, but I have some ideas, and I need someone to cooperate."
"No problem, the old man will definitely help, and there will be no ambiguity."
Wei Renpu knew that this matter was important, and he didn't dare to be careless, he and Ye Hua personally went to meet Guo Wei, the three of them and the three of them, and talked about this matter secretly.
Guo Wei said: "The people in the underground are indeed confidants, and they have no good solution, and they don't want to make people panic, so everything is going on in secret." Ye Qing, you have a heart, you can actually find out. ”
Ye Hua said embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, this matter is also a coincidence, the minister's aunt may have been taken captive to Sanssouci Cave!" ”
"Oh!"
Guo Wei groaned: "They are underground, they act and do things, it is no different from hell, good people fall into their hands, there will definitely be no good end, they should be rescued quickly." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Ye Hua said: "The minister thinks that the top priority is to train a team of men and horses, so that they can go down to the tunnels to encircle and annihilate the pounders." ”
"Easier said than done! The underground is dark and cramped, ordinary people go down, their eyes are black, and they can only be beaten passively! Guo Wei said the key.
"Then train!"
Ye Hua said: "Your Majesty, pick out a team of people from the army, let them go out day and night, eat more pig liver and eyes, and then train their skills in the dark." The minister is sure that they can handle it! ”
This is Ye Hua's power, he knows that the potential of people is endless, and the pounders have gradually adapted to the dark environment by being underground for a long time. Ordinary people can also strengthen their ability to adapt to the darkness through scientific training, but Guo Wei and Wei Renpu can't imagine it.
In addition to eye adaptation, there are also some new gear to be studied.
For example, in order to prevent a sneak attack, you must wear light and strong armor, and you must also prepare small crossbow arrows, and there are many traps underground, so you must be prepared.
Guo Wei simply ordered that 2,000 people be transferred from the new army, and then 1,000 people from the hussar guards to form a 3,000-person rodent extermination army, which was handed over to Ye Hua for training and used to deal with the troublemakers.
It's not enough to just have someone, you have to know yourself and your opponent, Ye Hua asked people to collect the situation of Sanssouci Cave and study their laws.
Then he personally went to the academy and gathered the teachers and craftsmen who were recruited, as the so-called collective efforts, these people all have a skill, and they may be able to come up with a good solution!
"Among you, there are people from the countryside, and who has experience catching rats? What if there is a swarm of rats underground? ”
These people also wondered, didn't they let them teach students? How did you become a rat catcher?
He hesitated, but he didn't dare to ask more, and one of them stood up.
He introduced his experience to Ye Hua that in order to deal with rats, he must first find the hole, determine the route of rat activity, and then set traps on the road.
Some people also say that this method is not clever, if you want to be fast, you should fill it with water, a few buckets of water down, the rats will not be able to stay, and when they come out of the ground, they will be decisively killed.
There are more and more methods, but Ye Hua feels that they are all treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
"Let's go, you can show me along."
He led everyone into a spacious room with the sand table of Kaifeng Mansion. Ye Hua told everyone that what you have to deal with is the big rat underground, you can find a way!
It turns out that people are not mice, and now it is much more troublesome, and people are countless times smarter than rats.
Someone suggested finding the vents and plugging them up so that the people below would suffocate to death.
There are many tunnels that can be opened, ravines are vertical and horizontal, and there are many vents, how can they be easily blocked, not to mention that the people below are also alive, they will not poke open, or find new vents?
Then water!
This method will work against rats, but not against people, and the people below only need to set up a baffle at the entrance of the hole to drive the water to other places.
In the same way, attacking with fire and poisonous smoke can be blocked with wooden doors to reduce damage.
Even if it works, they can't completely eliminate the troublemakers, and they have a way to deal with it.
Is there an attack they can't dodge at all?
Ye Hua was thinking, and the big guy was also thinking, at this time, in the pile of teaching assistants, a small man stood up, it was Li Shan who was assigned by Ye Hua.
"Yesterday, the craftsmen of the gunpowder workshop made a large cannon battle, lit it and threw it into the river, originally to test the power, but after the explosion, a lot of fish floated around."
After hearing this, Ye Hua smiled, "It turned out to be fried fish!" ”
"That's right!"
His eyes lit up, isn't this a ready-made solution!
Gunpowder has just been invented, and it's a shame that such a good weapon is not used!
If gunpowder is placed in the tunnel and then detonated, the sound wave vibration produced is enough to cause internal injuries and even death.
Ye Hua didn't like war movies very much in his last life, and the most important reason was that they were shoddy. It is not uncommon to see shells exploding around you, and as long as you lie on the ground, you are safe.
As everyone knows, it is even worse to die like that!
Artillery shells, especially heavy artillery, exploded at close range, creating a shockwave that was enough to shatter everything around them. In fact, many soldiers were shocked and injured their internal organs and vomited blood to death.
Sound travels faster and more powerfully underground.
There are explosives, which will blow up the pounders to death, shock them to death, even if they can't die, they must be killed!
Ye Hua smiled happily.
He asked the craftsman to find a few large cannonballs at once, and chose a place where rats often moved and there were many rat holes, and buried the cannonballs every other section.
When I lit the fuse, I felt the ground under my feet pound and make a dull sound.
When the explosion was over, someone was digging with a shovel, and they found that the surrounding soil was loose, and in the dirt, they dug up a few rats.
Some were shocked to death, while others were stunned, with their feet in the air, stabbed a few times, and then came to their senses, rolled over, swayed and ran, like a drunk person, very funny.
It works!
Of course, you can't just blow it up with explosives.
It is necessary to find the approximate location of the mash and determine the amount of gunpowder, especially if the underground explosion causes damage to the buildings above...... It must be carefully considered before it can be used.
Ye Hua didn't expect that Li Shan actually had some ghost ideas.
He handed over the task of testing to Li Shan and asked him to come up with a full set of plans as soon as possible.
Just when Ye Hua was busy preparing, across the street from Daxiangguo Temple, a woman suddenly appeared from a dark corner.
She seemed to have fallen from the sky, and when she appeared, her eyes first narrowed, then slowly widened, and when she adjusted to the light, she stepped out into the sun.
The woman's face was sickly pale, and she discerned the direction, and with her head bowed, she walked briskly...... Turning a street corner, suddenly two people blocked the way.
"Please stay!"
The woman looked up and saw that it was the forbidden army of the imperial court, so she turned her head in fright and ran.
The two forbidden soldiers chased after them, three steps and two steps, and caught up with the woman, they had a portrait in their hands, and they carefully matched it, and finally found a red mole on the corner of the woman's mouth!
Can't be wrong!
"Madam, you can let Master Hou find it!"
