Volume 3 Jiangnan Dang Chapter 249 [Problem]
This method of disinfection with lime water was naturally obtained by Huang Jie in a strange dream, and he has been using it in Wanhuang Lianzhuang for a long time, so it is needless to say how the disinfection effect is.
Nashuzhou is only sixty or seventy miles away from Taihu County, so naturally it was turned back on the same day, and the news I got was that the city gate of Shuzhou City was now closed, and I did not hear the news of the future of the imperial army.
It needs to be explained here that in the Spring and Autumn Period, Shuzhou was the fief of Anhui, which was under the jurisdiction of Anhui and the capital of Anhui. In the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (193 AD), Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang moved Lujiang County to Anhui County in order to avoid war. Since then, the three families of Yuan, Cao, and Sun have alternately occupied this place, and Anhui City has become an important town of military contention.
In the first year of Jingding in the Southern Song Dynasty (1260), before Ma Guangzu built Anqing New City in Yicheng of Shengtang Bay and abolished Shuzhou Mansion, Shuzhou was the county, state, and government seat of the Sui Dynasty from Xizhou to Tong'an County, and the jurisdiction was similar to the area north of the Yangtze River (roughly Anqing area) south of Tianzhu Mountain and Tongcheng City in Anhui Province and west of Tongling County.
In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Shuzhou was renamed Tong'an County, and it was not until the fifth year of Zhenghe (1115 AD) that it was changed to Shuzhou Deqing Army, and the place of governance is now Qianshan County, Anhui Province. At this time, the Anqing Mansion is actually the seat of Tong'an County. Tong'an County is named in the eighteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, and in the ninth year of the Great Cause (613), it was moved to the east of Tongcheng City. In the thirteenth year of the great cause, Li Zitong conquered, the city was abandoned, and he still moved to the lower Zongyang Town of Zongyang County.
At this time, Anqing Fucheng was actually a new county-governed new city that had been newly built for less than 30 years, and it was held in the middle of the Yangtze River where Wangjiang County and Zongyang County were located, after Jingkang. The city was ruined and deserted. After that, Anqing New City was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty in the tenth year of Jiading (1217) Jin people Poguang Mountain (now Huangchuan County, Henan). And there are many police along the border. The prefect Huang Gan "built the city of Anqing to prepare for war" at the former site of Shuzhou (now Meicheng, Qianshan County); Later, due to the war, Anqing Mansion moved to Luoshazhou and Yangchazhou in the second year of Duanping in the Southern Song Dynasty (1235); and the first year of Jingding in the Southern Song Dynasty (1260). In order to prevent the Mongol army from attacking Lin'an (now Hangzhou City), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, Ma Guangzu, the ambassador along the Yangtze River, abolished Shuzhou Mansion, "used the bricks and stones of the original Shuzhou Mansion city wall to rebuild it in Yicheng (Shengtang Bay, Yichengdu Zhiyin) as the new Anqing Mansion" (the site is in present-day Anqing City), and moved Huaining County to govern Guo.
This place is close to the Yangtze River, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since then, the governance of Anqing Prefecture has been unswerving, and "Anqing" has been used as a town name, and it is consistent with the name of the administrative district (government, province, prefecture, etc.), and has been used to later generations.
That is to say, there are two paths that can be taken from Taihu County to today's Anqing Mansion. One is to walk 70 miles northeast to Shuzhou (Qianshan County), and then turn southeast to Anqing. The other is to go straight to the east, take Xincang, Huangni, Shipai, Haikou and other towns to Anqing City. The only difference between the two is that there is an official road in the direction of Shuzhou, and there is a whole country road in the direction of Xincang, and the risk coefficient is also the same.
For a while, this problem made Huang Jie very difficult.
First of all, the two roads are calculated to be almost 180 miles away. That is, the distance between the most four transfer stations, whether there is an official road or not, is of little significance to the bulk material transfer like them, who can walk up to 30 miles a day. Secondly, it is indeed easy to set up a transfer station in the government-controlled area, and Huang Jie can give up two stations after walking 60 miles in a light car. But now that he is close to the war zone, how dare Huang Jie casually run out of thirty miles and leave a few cars of people behind, and let them cut down trees and build a military village at will. Naturally, we have to protect their safety, and we have to prevent the Stonebreakers from attacking them. So in the last 180 miles, I'm afraid I won't be able to give up one stop for three days.
But the problem is: now Tong Guan's army is nowhere to be found. The military order that must arrive at Anqing City on August 15 is not known if it is a reminder issued by Lord Yama.
But come to think of it, this Tong Guan army doesn't know where people are, and he can't force Huang Jie to lead a transport team of hundreds of people, and he must send grain and grass to Anqing City to the enemy according to the date on the military order, right?
Therefore, Huang Jie was not in a hurry, and led people to build a transfer station on the edge of Taihu County, and on the other hand, he mobilized the people from all over the country to come to vote one after another, set up a water wheel, took a water bladder and a pump, and loaded quicklime water into the city to spray and disinfect.
After three days of hard work, Taihu County was initially disinfected, but it was not yet inhabitable, at least until one or two heavy rains washed away the lime.
During this period, Sun Xin also personally led people to Shuzhou, Tongcheng, and Zongyang to investigate, and he also got a lot of news. First of all, there is the inactionable army of the army Huang someone, who is now locked in the north gate of Anqing Mansion by the broken stone army, and is spurred to work every day in the sun and rain, and the end is not miserable. Then half of the officers and soldiers of Wuwei who were scattered fled directly in all directions, and they did not know where to go, and about 6,000 people abandoned the military fortress set up under Anqing City, retreated all the way to the north, and now they are crowded outside Tongcheng County, waiting for Tong Guan's army to come and collect.
A few days ago, they not only released people to harvest all the autumn crops in the farmland within a radius of 60 miles from Anqing Mansion, but also sent people to collect many fishermen, boatmen and boatwrights along the river, and sent people into the mountains to cut timber and start building ships by the river.
After getting such news, Huang Jie asked Sun Xin to send someone to Chashan to see the situation of Sun Li's collection of thieves, and also asked people to go to Shuzhou to inform the prefect of Shuzhou of the information about the shipbuilding of the Broken Stone Army, as for whether he used 600 li to expedite or 400 to notify Tong Guan, it is not Huang Jie who needs to worry about it.
And in the early morning of August 14, Sun Li led a full 120 sturdy Chashan branch hall members to arrive at the city of Taihu County, announcing the end of the battle of the Heavenly Dao Alliance to collect the thieves in Chashan.
With Sun Li, in addition to Di Hao, there are two other leaders, one is Wang Tietou, who Huang Jie knew the name before, and the thieves under his command are the most in Chashan, so he is naturally famous, but the other is a little surprising, it is actually a female thief leader, called Ren Sanniang.
However, these two people were called Di Hao and rebelled, and they did not confront Sun Li and them, which can be regarded as a bloodless increase in strength, and there were three small groups of thieves with a total of about 120 people who were directly exterminated.
After meeting Wang Tietou and Ren Sanniang, the two of them were shocked, and they really couldn't figure out that a young man under the age of fifteen was not only a talented man who had won the examination, but also the nephew of the lord of a state, and now he was an official of the imperial court, but he also founded the Tiandao League, and even gathered the Chashan thieves in the palm of his hand, and built the Chashan branch of the Tiandao League.
Huang Jie didn't care how surprised they were, but just said to Sun Li: "Brother, I've been thinking about it these days, if I go to Shuzhou, although it is safe, I can't spare Tong Guan's truth." Therefore, the idea is that we should go straight to the east, while building the road, while moving forward steadily, and repair the transfer station to the city of Anqing one by one, how about it? ”
When Sun Li heard this, he also frowned and asked, "Build a road?" Do you still want to build those four lanes? ”
"Of course!" Huang Jie laughed and said: "There are roads leading to Tokyo, and my master once had a grand wish, hoping to build all the official roads in the world into four lanes!" (To be continued.) )
