Chapter 691: Building a Bridge

"It seems that Master Shen is tired." Zhu Xian restrained his smile and said: "Come on, if you help Master Shen go down, a guard will come forward, but the instinctive fear of the big red official uniform makes them dare not be too presumptuous, so they can only block in front of Shen Mo, and say, "Please,"

"Slow" At this time, Jiao Ying spoke, he nodded towards Shen Mo, turned to Zhu Xian and said, "Master Shu, please believe Lord Shen, the situation should be true!" ”

"Oh, so, you believe it? Zhu Xian looked at him funny and said.

"Lord Shen doesn't need to make such a joke," Jiao Ying said: "There must be someone who is really plotting against you!" But he didn't dare to tell the truth in public, in case Chen Honggou jumped off the wall in a hurry, it would be really dead.

"I see that you are also dizzy" Zhu Xian said unhappily: "The officers and soldiers are tired and tired, and they are having a dinner.

"That's better than sitting still." Jiao Ying said anxiously: "Master Shu, without further ado, please give an order quickly!" ”

"What order?" Zhu Xian said unhappily: "This black light is blind, who is responsible for the problem?"

"I'm in charge, Jiao Ying gritted his teeth.

"Xiaguan and Dong Ningbo Bo share the responsibility!" Shen Mo stood beside him and said.

Seeing that the two of them were so resolute and serious, Zhu Xian and Zheng Yu were finally a little moved, the two looked at each other, Zhu Xian asked Shen Mo and said, "Master Shen, where did you get this news from, and who wants to harm us?"

Before he could speak, a voice floated in, and He Xinyin appeared ghostly and said: "I He Xinyin saw with my own eyes, they threw hundreds of boats of wood and stones into the waterway and dammed the Han River, not to greet you, are they not ready to catch fish?" "He's obviously well-intentioned, but a mouth can kill people.

The madman He Xinyin is quite famous, equivalent to the later generations of Yanzi Li San, Dadao Wang Wu and other figures, the name is like thunder, and has become the spiritual sustenance of the disadvantaged, Zhu Xian has naturally heard of it. And this kind of person has a recognized advantage, that is, he never speaks.

"Good. I don't care about you, you can do whatever you want" Zhu Xian said with a dark face: "But there is one point, except for the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, no other troops are allowed to be harassed!" "Because of the decree and the banner, the army is at his disposal, so there is no need to ask anyone.

"Thank you, Grandpa." Jiao Ying bowed and saluted.

"Thank you" Zhu Xian, who was silent, clenched his fists and said sincerely: "Please at least assemble the team and send scouts upstream."

Well, Zhu Xian said impatiently: "Thank you Lord Shen for worrying, we know what to do." ”

Smiled silently. and Zhu Xian and He Xinyin left the big tent of Guogong.

After the three of them left, Zheng Yu asked in a low voice, "Grandpa." Shall we listen to him? ”

"Listen to a." Zhu Xian said in a sullen voice: "But let's send a team of scouts to the upstream to take a look."

"You are old and serious, Zheng Yu stretched out his thumb and praised." ……、………

Out of the Chinese military tent, he said to Jiao Ying silently: "Time is pressing, don't talk nonsense, please ask the lord to immediately convene the headquarters and set up a pontoon bridge to the river!" ”

The corners of Jiao Ying's mouth twitched when she heard this: "I, we are just worried about this." Now it seems that eighty percent of the original bridge was destroyed by that gang.

"What assumptions are generally used in the military about pontoon bridges?" He Xinyin asked.

"Boats". Jiao Ying said: "But I didn't prepare before, where can I find a boat for a while?" ”

"I have a way." said silently: "Sir, please hurry up and gather people!" ”

"Okay". Jiao Ying nodded heavily, turned over his horse, and took only seven or eight personal soldiers with him, and went to the camp of Wu Mule's left guard.

When the guards standing guard saw that it was the old boss who had returned, they didn't say a word, so they got out of the way and respectfully asked Dong Ningbo to return to the camp!

Jiao Ying stopped in the middle of the camp and snapped his fingers at the two pro-soldiers beside him, and the two pro-soldiers took off the long whip on their backs and whipped it violently, moving in unison, making only one sound; nbsp; A "smack." Like a thunderbolt, it pierced through the rainy night and resounded throughout the camp.

The two pro-soldiers did not stop, in a specific rhythm, "Slap, smack." The ground was pumped, and when the familiar voice was heard, there was a commotion in the camp, and the officers and soldiers rushed out of the camp tents one after another. The Boss is back! He rushed up like a tide and greeted Jiao Ying affectionately. This scene looked in He Xinyin's eyes, although he felt very happy, but he was still a little weird, "This is the general and soldier of the imperial court, it is clearly the boss and junior brother of a gang."

Shen Mo smiled and explained to him: "I don't know, Huang Fatzi told me that the most difficult thing to manage in the four major battalions is Wuji Zuowei, these people burn yellow paper and worship the handle, since the last few generations, it has become a church, and the leading brother is Dongningbo in the past dynasties."

"Could it be that Chen Hong wants to change this bad habit and reverse the trend before transferring Jiao Ying away, but I want to take advantage of this habit of the rivers and lakes!" He Xinyin smiled sarcastically: "I don't know who the good guy is."

"Impossible, Chen Hong is not so kind" Shen Mo shook his head and said: "Jiao Ying's grandfather died in the Tumu Fort Change, and what he hates the most is the death of the eunuch, so Chen Hong can only transfer him away in order to master the martial arts and the left guard While the two were talking, a shrill voice sounded: "Go back, go back, who let you come out." The eunuch sent by Chen Hong appeared in the camp, and there was an attendant who gave him an umbrella behind him.

"I, Jiao Ying, was dismissed for no reason, and I have long held back the fire in my belly, and finally erupted!" Wu Meng's left guard commander envoy, Dongning Bo Jiaoying! "What are you doing here?" The eunuch of the prison army was shocked by his anger and said, "Is there a warrant from Gonggong Chen?" "I've got this!" Jiao Yinggao held up the gold-edged blue-bottomed token that Zhu Xian gave him and said, "The trump card is here, are you satisfied?" ”

"What about Gonggong Chen's warrant?" The eunuch insisted.

"Could it be that Chen Hong is older than the emperor?" Jiao Ying sneered.

"This," the eunuch of the prison army dared to answer.

"Brothers of Wuji Zuowei" Jiao Ying let go of his voice and said: "Those who are willing to have dinner with Gonggong Liu can stay, and those who are willing to have a meal with Benjue can squeak!" ”

"Willing to go with the boss!" The soldiers shouted one after another.

"Then come with me!" Jiao Ying shook his horse's head and turned around and walked out of the camp. The eunuch still wanted to make a final effort, and screamed: "No one is allowed to go out!" As if they had been beaten, the officers and soldiers rushed out with him.

"Fuck you big-headed ghost!" The long-standing resentment broke out at this moment, and the poor eunuch was treated as a substitute for Chen Hong, and was violently insulted, and then he was pushed by someone for some reason, fell, and then countless feet stepped on him, imprinting him deeply in this hot land.

He Xinyin shook his head again and again, and said, "Although it is very powerful, I don't think this is a force that can fight." ”

"What we have to do now is not to fight," Shen Mo smiled, "but to work, and these people are enough." And they went with them to the river. …………………………、………、……… One

The camp is only a mile away from the south bank of the river, and it is only a short time away. When Shen Mo and He Xinyin arrived there, Jiao Ying was already thinking about his "brothers. explained the ins and outs of the matter, and sure enough, it caused a strong sense of crisis, and they all looked at Shen Mo and He Xinyin anxiously, because "Boss." Tell them that these two people can save everyone.

"My lord, the more than 4,000 brothers here, including me, are all under your command!" Jiao Ying hugged his fist at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo nodded, and said to him softly: "I'll assign the task, and the lord will appoint the candidate, okay?" ”

"No problem." In the face of danger, Jiao Ying fully cooperated.

"Good!" Shen Mo raised his voice and said, "Everyone, our destination is on the other side, and we must build a pontoon bridge as quickly as possible!" As he spoke, he used all his strength and said loudly: "Time is life, do you understand?!" ”

"Understood, I know what you command, my lord," the officers and soldiers replied in a rambling manner.

At this time, Shen Mo didn't want to force anything, and said, "Three thousand people." Go to the Mixed Hall Division, Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau, Shangshan Superintendent, and Huanyi Bureau. Bring it all to the water truck! "It seems that the undercover agent was not in vain during this time, and he has a clear understanding of what is in the various yamen of the inner prison.

"Do you hear me, go!" Jiao Ying immediately sent his deputy commander to take someone to handle the matter.

"What if you don't give it?" The deputy commander asked.

"Just grab it!" Shen Mo said murderously: "As long as you don't break the water truck, nothing else matters!" ”

"Order." The deputy commander smiled.

"Slow!" Silent and said in a deep voice: "Do something for me, it's never done in vain!" The first hundred to push back the cart were rewarded with twenty taels of silver each; the next two hundred, ten taels; and then five hundred. Win five taels! After that, there is no money. "At the critical moment, you have to throw money all over the world, but what can be solved with money now is not a problem.

The atmosphere was lively in an instant. "Okay!" The deputy commander was overjoyed when he heard this, and called out to the brothers: "Brothers, go and rob!" The officers and soldiers went away in a hurry, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Good guys, I've never seen these guys so active." Jiao Ying said with a smile.

"This trick is called a throw, and it is extremely powerful" Shen Mo pretended to wipe his sweat and said: "It's just that it makes people feel prostrated after using it." In the blink of an eye, he promised six or seven thousand taels of silver, and he vomited blood directly in exchange for others.

The remaining 1,000 people were very frustrated, and they only hated how they ran slowly, but they were stopped by the boss.

"Don't worry, you also have a chance to make money." Jiao Ying comforted them.

For his generosity of others, Shen Mo didn't have time to despise him, and nodded: "Yes, and there is a chance to get more." Then the crowd became excited, eager to serve him at once.

"Look at the Han River behind you." He said silently: "If you feel you can swim over, stand on my right." "Although they are all northern soldiers, swimming is a hobby of many people, and there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and more than 300 people stood up.

Shen Mo knew that among these people, there must be a lot of indiscriminate taro, but time waited for no one, so he could only explain to them first, and what he had to do later, after speaking, he frightened more than a hundred people and went back, which made Shen Mo feel a lot more relieved.

At this time, another group of people rushed to the riverside, it turned out to be Xu Ming, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, who came with Shen Mo and what he wanted, in fact, before going to see Jiao Ying, he had already asked Sanchi to bring a message to Xu Ming, and only used a sentence "If you still want your family to be prosperous and safe, hurry up and prepare things and send them to the riverside" Xu Chao is Xu Jie's cousin, and he will not slack off for his uncle and his family.

However, the efficiency of the bureaucracy is low, and it is estimated that Xu Chao has no use for "throwing everything", so he has not come until now.

Shen Mo didn't care about blaming him, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you ready?" ”

Xu Chao nodded and said, "I'll do something, don't worry." ”

Erxun" Famer pointed to the place of the ancient two bamboo poles! "Zhongli is the pile point that He Da has explored, and the two piles will be placed here!" Those words were said to the soldiers of the Wujian Left Guard, and naturally material stimulation was indispensable, and he said: "As long as these two piles can hold out to the end, each person will be rewarded with one hundred taels." As he spoke, his tone changed, and he said coldly: "If it is loose halfway, you can bury it with you." "The reason why these soldiers were selected by Jiao Ying is because they have worked on piles before and know how to bear heavy burdens, which shows that Jiao Ying is very competent for this errand.

While starting to drive the pile, Shen Mo instructed Xu Gui: "Get the rope." Xu Chao sent a cart of bundles of cables to something, and Taifu Temple was in charge of driving and transporting them, so there would be these things.

"This is the thickest?" Shen Mo asked.

The pontoon bridge is like this, Xu Yan said: "If the length is not enough, I can pick you up on the spot" and asked: "How wide is this section of the river?" ”

"Thirty zhang." Shen Mo replied.

"Then you don't have to pick it up." Xu said: "Enough." ”

"Good." Shen Mo said to the two hundred people who were about to enter the water: "The twenty people who are the best in the water first carry a rope to the opposite side, and then twenty white strips in the waves jumped into the water, and together they carried the rope on their shoulders and swam to the opposite bank.

Silence ordered the piles to be hauled over and driven to the other side of the bank to the same standard.

At this moment, the first water truck was snatched back, and the cheers rang out, which made Xu Chao feel strange, how could it be the same as winning the lottery? Immediately afterwards, the second, third, fourth, and countless water trucks were pushed back by the competing sergeants.

Jiao Ying saw that the water truck, the carriage was six feet long, more than four feet wide, and three feet high, because it was used by the inner court to hold water and prevent fire, because of the ingenious design and easy to use, the emperor went out this time, so he called all of them, not only to load water, but also to load other things, "Most of them are special things that the great eunuchs took the opportunity to loot,,

There are as many as 800 cars, because they were originally used to hold water, the sealing does not have to be considered, and what is even more rare is that these carriages are standard, the length, width and height are exactly the same, and there is a cover on it, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the difficulty of construction, and can't help but be overjoyed: "It's really a good thing, let's install it in the water!" ”

"No!" After Shen Mo decided to erect the pontoon bridge, he had already repeatedly scrutinized in his brain, made overall calculations, and tried to find the most time-saving steps, which can be regarded as his superiority.

The silent method of building the bridge is as follows: first on the bank of the Han River, four carriages are connected to form a pontoon unit, and then the tail is connected to the middle of the river to form a bridge. In this way, a large number of personnel can operate at the same time, and a large number of operations are carried out on the riverbank, which naturally greatly improves the efficiency and speed.

In order to reduce the impact of the river on the middle section of the bridge, Shen Mo also asked Xu to take an iron lump weighing thirty or forty catties, tie it into the river, and anchor it at the moment.

Although there are many instructions, but in an orderly manner, with the cooperation of Jiao Ying, everyone involved can clearly know what they should do, plus the monetary stimulation regardless of the cost, Jiangnan has become a hot construction site, and people work together to create a miracle.

But in the midst of the crowd in this area, Shen Mo heard that there was suddenly chaos behind him, and hurriedly got on his horse to watch, and saw that the big camp had been fried, and people were shouting and running in a panic, completely unorganized, and there were people who went in either direction, and it was completely chaotic!

Obviously, the upper reaches of the river began to burst, and the excess water overflowed the original channel in an instant, rushing downstream, but they were silent that the bank of the river they were on was high, but they did not feel it.

Shen Mo looked at the pontoon bridge that was still a third of the way to completion. He said to Jiao Ying in a deep voice: "Sir, I will entrust you here, remember a principle, before the bridge is built, no one is allowed to pass, and those who dare to mess around will be killed!" After a pause, he explained: "The rebels will definitely find this way out, and without blood, the situation will be out of control." ”

I know, Jiao Ying nodded and said, "Where are you going?"

"Go back". Shen Mo whispered: "The emperor hasn't come over yet, even if we escape, it's not a dead end?" ”

"Then I'll go back" Jiao Ying said: "How dangerous it is at this time!" ”

"I'm familiar with the situation, or I'll go back". Said silently.

"Don't worry, I guarantee that at the moment when his safety is critical, He Xinyin is not weird, and said: "It's not the first time I've been a bodyguard for him." ”

Shen Mo laughed, pulled the reins and said: "There are not so many people here, give me half of the soldiers and horses." "Of course there are, but you still have to cheer them up." Jiao Ying immediately assembled the people and horses who had finished assembling the carriage and were resting by the river.

"There's not much to say." Shen Mo said lightly to everyone: "We are here to save the emperor, now the barracks are very chaotic and dangerous, if I die, you won't get a penny." The crowd was overwhelming.

"Follow me if you're not afraid of death!" Silently whistled and pulled the reins of the horse, the war horse man stood and turned around, and when his front hooves landed, he was facing the direction of the camp.
