Chapter 114: Building the Three Surrendered Cities 4
The construction of the East Surrender City was in charge of Cheng Changshi. He also watched the scene of General Wu Yanzhi's murder in the morning, and knew that the construction of the Three Surrendered Cities was not a joke. If you can't complete it on time, you will be punished, and if you don't make a copy of General Wu Yanzhi, you will lose your official position, and maybe there will be more severe punishments.
Due to the fact that the assassin is also a military envoy, and the military envoy is missing, General An is the acting assassin of Shengzhou. As soon as General An leaves, he will be in charge of this place.
Therefore, he hurriedly summoned the six Cao soldiers to join the army, the Sihu to join the army, and one of the Zuolang generals assigned to him to a meeting to discuss the construction of the city.
That Zuo Lang General Gao didn't dare to be careless, knowing that Wu Yanzhi had very strict requirements for the construction period and quality. For those who cannot be completed on time, or those who are completed but cannot guarantee the quality, the capital shall be beheaded and the exiled shall be exiled.
General Nagao said: "As long as the plan for building the city is determined today, after breakfast tomorrow, the contemptible people will arrange to start construction, and the relevant preparations will be arranged by Cheng Changshi." ”
"This plan is very easy to do, and there are many masters of building city bridges under Liu Sishi's army. Settle on a simple plan today, then immediately organize the tools and materials, and start work tomorrow morning.
As for the details in the plan, if it really needs to be adjusted, it will be too late in the construction. Let's build the city and the main city wall first, what's so complicated about building a city wall? The key is quality and duration. Cheng Changshi said.
"What Cheng Changshi said is reasonable, then let's first determine the approximate scope of the city and the main city......" General Gao said.
So the man who built the eastern surrender city was ready to work.
……
Wu Yanzhi naturally intended to cultivate Wu Shouping, and he gave him the task of building the surrendered city. You must know that the middle surrender city is the most difficult city to repair, because there are only a few small villages in the vicinity without a city, and the construction conditions are far from catching up with the two surrendered cities in the east and west.
So before leaving, he called Wu Shouping and Jiang Shipeng over to explain some things to the two of them.
"Secretary Jiang, you can accompany Captain Wu and help him more. Shouping, you have to discuss more with Secretary Jiang and General Hu, who built the city, and you must complete the construction of this kind of city on time. If you can't do it, I'm going to punish you too. Wu Yanzhi said.
"Please rest assured, Uncle Six, my nephew will definitely complete the task!" He seemed confident.
The secretary Jiang Shipeng also said: "General Wu rest assured, his subordinates will definitely try their best to help Captain Wu complete the task." In the eyes of his subordinates, as long as no one harasses him, and there is no very special weather, such as heavy rain one after another, there should be no problem in these two months. ”
Secretary Jiang Shipeng is a smart person, and of course he can see the situation very clearly. Now that it has only been a year, Wu Yanzhi has achieved the three grades at this level and as a minister. The future is certainly uncertain.
Although he is a member of the royal family, it is very rare for him to rise so quickly. Of course, the brothers Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, who served the emperor, were exceptions. The two of them were much faster than General Wu Yanzhi.
Now is a good opportunity to make great contributions, last time his own rank has been upgraded by one level, if the surrendered city is repaired, there will be no problem with upgrading at that time.
And this Wu Shouming looks like a very smart person, and under the care of General Wu Yanzhi, he will definitely soar.
"As for the materials for the construction of the city, such as lime, glutinous rice, etc., I will definitely guarantee the supply. After Qi Xuan leaves, General Yang Siqiao will act as Sima, and he will arrange everything. ”
To say that the construction of these three cities is difficult, of course, the west surrender city and the middle surrender city are the most difficult, so Wu Yanzhi will arrange his own people to preside. This makes the execution faster.
As for the generals and captains who were really repairing the city on the spot, Wu Yan was not worried at all, because he had just finished killing the human sacrifice city.
……
The next day the weather was fine and everyone who was supposed to leave was gone. General An also took people out on patrol to avoid being disturbed by the Turks.
Wu Yanzhi was fine for the time being, so he came with General Yang Siqiao to check the construction of the city.
When I got to the scene, I saw it, good guys, it was very lively! In addition to the people who dig the foundation, each construction site has a drummer, and a team leader or deputy team member plays the drum himself to boost morale.
Cheng Changshi and General Gao, who were in charge of the construction of the city, saw General Wu Yanzhi coming over and hurried over to greet them.
Wu Yanzhi hurriedly signaled to them not to be polite: "It's good for you to repair this city on time and with good quality." When the time comes, I'll give you both a lot of credit. ”
The two of them are very grateful.
Not to mention, this killing dozens of people really has an effect. In just a few hours, in some places, not only the foundation has been dug up, but also the plywood has been grasped and ready to be filled for ramming.
They had a good way of boiling water, not boiling it directly, but burning stones, and then throwing stones of several hundred degrees into that big pool. The water soon boiled, and it was used to steam and ram the sand and soil of the city.
Wu Yan looked at it, these people are very experienced, and they don't need any big iron pots, and there are no such big pots, how simple it is to burn stones with firewood!
Not only that, but they found some grass with coarse fibers out of nowhere, pressed it and dried it, and added this thing to the city wall, which can significantly improve the sand adhesion of the city wall.
It seems that there are many people and there is a lot of strength, and these two thousand soldiers are really not a small number, and more than a dozen construction sites are starting at the same time.
They also found carpenters from nowhere, and they worked on the formwork on the spot, as well as large wooden mallets that were rammed into the walls.
Here we want to talk about the process of ramming the city wall.
Nowadays, people live in brick houses, and stone houses can be seen in the countryside, but mud-walled houses are rare. If you can still see it occasionally in the countryside, of course, there is basically no one living there.
The thickness of the loess-walled house where the peasants live is generally about 40 centimeters. He used two assembled large planks as a formwork to connect the tie rod and the strut. Then fill it with clay, and then beat it vigorously with a large wooden hammer.
The ramming of the city wall is similar, but only the formwork on one side can be used. Of course, the ramming requirements of the city wall are stricter, because Wu Yanzhi has special requirements, so it must be stricter and more careful when beating, and no obvious gaps and gaps are allowed.
Moreover, this rammed city wall was not greatly affected by the rain. Anyway, next to the grassland, you can use a grass shed to cover it, and it will be good to wait for it to dry. Of course, if it rains heavily for several days, it will not be good.
Wu Yanzhi looked at the busy scene and was quite satisfied. He said to Cheng Changshi and General Gao: "The two organizations are very effective. General Yang, I'll send two buckets of wine to each of them later! "Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
