readx; Ma Qianxue couldn't imagine how this big bronze bell weighing 10,000 catties was hung on the roof of the building. www.biquge.info Lu Xiangsheng had already seen some clues, so he smiled at Li Dingguo and said, "General Li, you can explain to Miss Ma!" ”

Li Dingguo smiled shyly and said, "How this bell was hung, the last general really doesn't know." But there is a Wanshou Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, and there is a bell bigger than this in it, which was cast in the Yongle period, so it is also called 'Yongle Bell'. When the saint went out of the city to inspect the three major camps, he was stationed in Wanshou Temple, accompanied by the last general, and was fortunate to see the big bell. At that time, the saint was also very curious about how such a big bell could be hung, and said "crane" or something, but the general didn't understand.

"Later, I asked the abbot of the temple to find out that this big bell was cast elsewhere with the 'clay fan method'. The specific method is to dig a big pit in the ground first, make the inner shape with grass and trees and Sanhe soil, coat it with extremely pure and fine mud, and then paste the rice paper with good words on the fine mud and engrave the yin characters. Then heat and fire it into a pottery fan, and then make a circle to make the outer fan. Finally, the molten copper was poured in at one time, and the bell was cast. ”

Ma Qianxue was amazed when she heard this, but said impatiently: "Who asked you how the bell was cast, I asked how it was hung!" ”

Li Dingguo had long been accustomed to Ma Qianxue's temper, and said with a slight smile: "It's about to be said." After the bell is cast, the first thing to choose is to splash water on the ground for ice in winter, freeze out an ice road, and drag the bell on this ice road until the location of the bell tower. Then a high platform was built with ice and earth, and a long slope was piled up, and hundreds of people worked together to drag the bell to the top of the high platform. Then the slope was demolished, and only then did the construction of the bell tower begin. When the spring flowers bloom in the second year, the building has been completed, and after the bell is fixed with a giant log, the mound of earth below is dug up, and the bell is hung. I guess the same is true of this big clock. ”

Ma Qianxue was amazed when she heard this: "The craftsmen are so smart! It's a huge project! ”

Li Dingguo also said with emotion: "At that time, the saint also said the same, and said, 'The hearts of the people are moving together, and the Tartar is like this big bell, although it looks terrible, but I have thousands of years of civilization in China, and there are manpower, material resources and talents. As long as the civilian, military, military and civilians work together, they will definitely be able to hang up the tartars, and they will never be able to make chaos. ’”

Yuan Chonghuan and Lu Xiangsheng were solemn when they heard this, and they both looked deeply in the direction of Jingshi: "The ministers dare not be loyal and try their best to serve Your Majesty!" ”

After taking a seat on the top floor, Yuan Chonghuan went straight to the point without being polite: "Now that the Beijing division is besieged, the students have been ordered to lead the Datong border army to Xuanfu, and this step has been completed." What to do next, the Holy One did not say. In their opinion, what should we do? ”

Lu Xiangsheng immediately said angrily: "The saint is afraid that the Tartars will ravage the people of Jinggi, and he wants the people of nearby prefectures and counties to withdraw into Xuanfu. and with the Tartar soldiers are very sharp, so that the officers and soldiers in various places should not rush forward. Nevertheless, it is within the duty of a person to share the worries of his father. Now that the Xuanfu has tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, if they only defend the city and avoid the battle, where will they be placed in the holy place? Therefore, the students thought that they must take the initiative to find the enemy and fight! ”

Yuan Chonghuan also admired Lu Xiangsheng's courage in defying strong enemies, but he still smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Jiandou, the student has been in Liaodong for many years, and he knows that Jianyu is far superior to the border army in field battles. After taking office as the governor of Xuanda, he found that the Xuanda border army was not as good as the Liaodong border army, although the number of troops was not small, but how long did it take to slack the battle array, and it was useless. It's still reluctant to defend the city, let alone go out of the city field battle. In the opinion of the students, they still obey the order, first guard the Xuanfu, and then wait for the opportunity to move. ”

Lu Xiangsheng stubbornly bowed his hand to Yuan Chonghuan and said: "Your Excellency, the students also know that the official army of the Xuanfu is not a good soldier. But when the students came from Daimyo, they also brought 6,000 Heavenly Heroes with them. Although they were recruited and had no salary, they all dared to fight and could fight, which was very different from the border army. Even if the Xuanda border army does not go out of the city, the students can also lead the Tianxiong army out of the city to fight! ”

"The captives are all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, and they have strong troops, any banner is more than 10,000 people, what can 6,000 people do?" Yuan Chonghuan still shook his head and disagreed, "Looking at the battle in Liaodong, only the battle of Ningyuan was won by our army defending the city. And all those who took the initiative were all defeated. Yang Hao and Wang Huazhen's lessons from the past, Brother Jiandou must not be observed! ”

"Not really." Lu Xiangsheng said, "The defeat of Yang and Wang lies in the rash attack of the unknown enemy. The students went out to fight this time, but they wanted to find a small group of Qing troops and annihilate them with one blow, so that the Jianyu did not dare to cast a net to loot the countryside. In the event of a large group of enemy troops, students can use the terrain around Xuanfu to deal with the enemy, or lead them to the city of Xuanfu, which can reduce the pressure on the Jingshi! ”

Yuan Chonghuan did not believe in the combat effectiveness of the Tianxiong Army. The two disagreed and discussed for a long time, but neither of them could say anything. Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be a little anxious, and turned to Li Dingguo and said: "General Li is here by order, it must be arranged by the Holy Lord, and he will not let your four thousand cavalry come to guard the Xuanfu!" ”

Li Dingguo hurriedly bowed his hand and said apologetically: "Two adults, please forgive the general!" The last general did receive the secret decree of the Holy Lord, but the Holy Thousand instructed the last general not to reveal the battle plan to anyone. He begged the Governor to provide seven days of dry food for the general's headquarters, and the general was about to set out immediately. The emperor's order is like this, and I hope the two adults will forgive me! ”

Yuan Chonghuan and Lu Xiangsheng were both stunned, but since they were sacred, they didn't want to ask too much. Lu Xiangsheng still forced Li Dingguo to express his position, and Li Dingguo had no choice but to say: "The two adults are reasonable, the governor is acting according to orders, and the Xuanfu really cannot afford to lose." The governor took the initiative to seek the method of war, and the last general actually agreed with it. Why don't you fly a pigeon and pass the book immediately, and ask the saint to decide, what do the two adults think? ”

Yuan Lu's eyes lit up: Yes! The straight-line distance between Xuanfu and Jingshi is only more than 200 miles, and the carrier pigeon can play back and forth in only two or three hours. Although the Qing army besieged the city, they couldn't stop the carrier pigeons, so how could they forget this magic weapon.

So the two immediately translated the content of the dispute into ciphertext, and for the sake of safety, copied a total of ten copies, let the ten carrier pigeons carry them separately, and immediately released them on the Qingyuan Tower.

The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and left, and the rest was a difficult wait. Of course, during this time, they were not idle. Lu Xiangsheng was busy arranging food and lodging for the refugees and the Datong border army who came from afar, while Yuan Chonghuan also found that Li Dingguo's face was very bad, and he learned that he had malaria when he asked.

Yuan Chonghuan immediately ordered the officer to take a bag, and handed it to Li Dingguo with a smile: "General Li, you are really a good person. If it weren't for the official, you wouldn't have been able to get better! ”
