Chapter 112: Building the Three Surrendered Cities 2

The group then discussed the specific location of the construction of the Three Surrendered Cities. It is said that it is built on the edge of the Yellow River, but in fact, there is still a distance, because there is still a lot of worry about the Yellow River rising. There is also the issue of transportation.

After discussing the specific address for the construction of the Three Surrendered Cities, the structure of the city was followed. The structure of this ancient city is not too complicated. However, considering that this city was built on the grassland, there are still some peculiarities after all.

So Yang Siqiao said: "General Wu, these three surrendered cities must build a sheep and horse city, in case of war, the cattle, sheep and horses raised by the Tuntian soldiers can all be driven into the city to protect."

Also, these three cities are mainly for military purposes, so the city of Yancheng, Yacheng, Zicheng, Luocheng and so on are indispensable. In addition, the design of the turret is also very particular, not only to give full play to the defensive role of bows and crossbows, but also to withstand the attack of enemy stone cannons. ”

The so-called fortress is actually a city outside the main city gate. It prevents the enemy from attacking the city gate directly, giving the enemy a certain amount of damage in advance, and then retreating the troops to the main city.

As for Yacheng, Zicheng, Luocheng, etc., they are small cities within the main city and attached cities, for example, the marshal must live in the innermost part of the city.

At this time, Qi Xuan suddenly said: "There is another key, which is the materials for building the city wall. Needless to say, there must be a lot of sand and gravel in the local area.

But the other two main things are glutinous rice and lime, and there are certainly not many of them in these three places. The subordinates suggested that they send letters to nearby prefectures and counties overnight, including Taiyuan Prefecture.

For each place, a certain quota of glutinous rice and lime was established, and they were required to send all of them to Shengzhou within a time limit, and temporarily handed over to General Andaomai, the acting envoy of the Pindi army. ”

"That's true, you don't have to worry about the lime, but there may not be much glutinous rice. I sent a message to Shi Yao Chong, the new deputy protector and chief of the capital, asking him to purchase more near Taiyuan as soon as possible and send it to General An as soon as possible. "The Way of Martial Arts.

In this ancient city, it is impossible to use any stone masonry, there is no need at all. In fact, 99% of the city walls are built with rammed earth. As long as glutinous rice juice, sand and lime are added to the soil (soil, sand, and lime are mixed into a triple soil), it will actually be very strong.

Moreover, the sand and soil should be steamed at high temperature and mixed with boiling water to remove insect eggs and grass seeds. Of course, proportions are very important, but many craftsmen at the time mastered the craft.

Then he divided the work among the people. Governor Shi was responsible for the construction of the eastern surrender city; Toyosu Thorn Shi was responsible for the construction of the West Surrender City; Wu Shouming was responsible for the construction of the surrendered city. The beacon tower in the northern mountainous area was built by Sima of Fengzhou and Shengzhou.

In the end, he said: "The construction personnel of this city should be mainly soldiers, and then farmers and herdsmen from nearby should be sent to assist. First send a disc to Toyosu and Katsushu.

All servicemen who have expired their guards will have their stay extended for three months. After the city is repaired, they will all go home, and those who dare to go home in advance will be put to death, regardless of whether they are officers or soldiers.

There is also the quality of engineering, it is determined that each lieutenant is responsible for a wall. Anyone who can pierce the city wall two inches with an iron cone means that the city wall is not qualified, the team is beheaded, and the captain is exiled to Lingnan. The people in charge of the construction of the three cities were all dismissed. The same is true for the construction of the beacon tower.

Of course, what I'm asking for is a bit strict. But don't worry, after this city is repaired, I will give you a big reward. Okay, that's all for tonight, if you have something to do, hurry up and do it.

By the way, I forgot to say that you just have to repair the city. I, General Li and General Yang, are responsible for resisting the harassment of the Turks and providing you with your backing. ”

Wu Yanzhi: This is a requirement for construction period and quality. It is impossible to build three cities in three months without relying on the organizational discipline of the soldiers. Because I can't do it, I have to work for more than ten hours a day.

As for the quality of the city, it must come first. Otherwise, on the edge of this desert, if the city wall is broken in ten or eight years, it will be bad, and the city builder he served as the envoy will be impeached.

When Wu Shouping heard this, he was shocked in his heart, this is too strict! The captains were even more silent, and their hearts were filled with infinite awe.

After Wu Yanzhi finished speaking, everyone began to go about their own affairs.

(Beacon: It is stipulated that one should be set up every 30 miles, and each beacon tower has six people.) Although the three surrendered cities are only four or five hundred miles apart, in order to maximize the power of the three cities, the beacon tower is not just set up dozens of them.

There must be both horizontal and deep beacons, stretching for more than 1,000 miles. According to the calculations of Yang Siqiao and Qi Xuan, there should be at least 1,500 people, even the people stationed in the beacon tower, and 10,000 people. )

……

From Yinzhou to Shengzhou Yulin, it was only 500 miles away, and although everyone carried a number of gasoline barrels, the cavalry was of course very fast, and they arrived in three days.

The deputy envoy of the Pingdi Army, the acting military envoy General An Daomai, welcomed Wu Yan and his party into the county post house.

This General An is in his 40s, of course, he is also a Hu person, and he is of the same clan as An Lushan. This person is brave and good at fighting, similar to Li Duozuo, the general of the right feather Lin Wei, and is quite trusted by the emperor.

"General An has lived outside the city for a long time, and he has worked hard, here are two buckets of liquor for the general!" Wu Yanzhi asked his subordinates to give him two buckets of liquor. This liquor was brewed by him not long ago.

General An Daomai couldn't help but be a little flattered when he saw that Wu Yanzhi actually gave him wine in person. Because his status is far from Wu Yan's.

He is also equivalent to a division commander level, and if he rises to a higher level, he will also be a deputy army commander, Wu Yanzhi can be equivalent to the deputy marshal of the front army, and he is an independent commander of the army.

He was naturally very grateful and very excited: "The handsome man personally sent the wine, where would his subordinates dare to be!" In the evening, I will kill ten cows to welcome the handsome and everyone! ”

"Don't be so grand, we still have to discuss the construction of the Three Surrender Cities!" Wu Yanzhi persuaded.

"Otherwise, this is the etiquette of our people, I heard that the marshal broke the Turkic elite cavalry, we admire it, and ask the marshal to teach some tactics." General Ahn was very sincere.

"In that case, let's do as you say. Please General An hurry up and find the Shengzhou Governor Shi and Sima, the Cao Judgment Division and others, and I will immediately make arrangements for the construction of this eastern surrendered city. "The Way of Martial Arts.

"Please rest assured General Wu, his subordinates have already sent someone to inform them, and they will arrive in a moment."

"Is the glutinous rice and lime here easy to find?"

"Quicklime is easy to find, and there is a special lime burner nearby. There are also some glutinous rice, which is also intended to be used specifically for the maintenance of the city wall. Of course, there are not a lot, and it is certainly not enough to build a new city.

The subordinates have received an urgent 600 miles from the capital a few days ago, and it is estimated that the city will be built here, and they have also sent people to buy glutinous rice. ”

Wu Yanyi thought, now is the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, these materials are definitely not a problem, as long as they are well organized, they will definitely be transported on time.

He also talked about the discipline and quality of the repair, especially the quality, and the soldiers who were not allowed to go home. As soon as General Na'an heard that the quality was not good, he was going to be killed, and his expression immediately became nervous: "The subordinates must convey the order to every soldier, please rest assured." ”

That night, everyone ate and drank without mentioning it. Early the next morning, General Neng An Daomai provided a very astonishing piece of news: "Marshal Qiqi, there is a team of 50 soldiers in Xianyang, their term of office has just expired, they do not listen to the marshal's orders, and they have left an hour ago. ”

When Wu Yan heard this, he was furious: "Quickly capture them back and behead them all!" ”

When everyone around heard this, they were all shocked! Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
