Chapter 1130: The Civil Engineering Ability of the Central Plains Dynasty
"On the orders of His Majesty, I have come to supervise the construction of 'Fukuoka Castle'."
A minister of the Ministry of Industry visited Chu Wu.
This minister, Chu Wu usually doesn't see him at all.
Li Jie, a famous ancient architect in the Northern Song Dynasty, was the author of "Building the French Style", and was responsible for building cities and fortifications.
Iwaya Castle was heavily defended by Oda Nobunaga, and Chutian went to the Western Regions to fight against the strong enemy Wokotai and Tuolei, so Chutian recruited Li Jie from the Ministry of Works to preside over the construction of Fukuoka Castle.
Chu Tian is good at cavalry advances, which is equivalent to a saint-level cavalry commander.
—————
In the four islands of Dongying, which are mainly mountainous, it is actually not conducive to Chutian's large cavalry operations, but the Western Regions and Central Asia are suitable for cavalry assaults in groups.
Wokotai and Tuolei, who founded the country with cavalry, only Chutian, who is good at cavalry, can sanction them.
The crown prince Chu Wu became the nominal supreme commander of the soldiers and horses on the East Road, and the actual commander was replaced by Le Yi to the killing god Bai Qi.
"My father's idea is far beyond my imagination, when will it reach one-tenth of my father's?"
Chu Wu was still in shock.
His father, in his eyes, was not only invincible, but also had endless ideas.
If you don't have a city, start with flat ground and force a large city to be built.
Chu Tian's idea was not fanciful, but estimated.
As an important harbor connecting Korea and even the Central Plains, Hakata Bay has the potential to become a giant city.
It's just that the daimyo of the Warring States period liked to build castles on the mountains to strengthen the castle's defenses.
For example, Hakata Bay is the territory of the Tachibana family, but the head of the Tachibana family lives in Tachibanayama Castle.
Chutian had the idea of abandoning Tachibana Mountain Castle and building a new city on the flat land of Hakata Bay.
The population of Fukuoka Castle came from the Central Plains and Tachibanayama Castle, and it was the first castle to be colonized by the Central Plains to the four islands of the east.
One of the cabinet ministers, Li Si, came to coordinate the construction of Fukuoka Castle, and Li Jie, who was the actual builder of the Ministry of Works.
"Minister Li Si meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Si was also respectful in the face of the heir of the future empire.
The current Great Xia Dynasty is thriving, Chu Tian has given the main resources to the eldest son, and the number of princes has been designated, and there is no trend of nine sons taking the heir, Li Si naturally stands on the side of the prince.
"With Mr. Li Si and Mr. Li Jie overseeing Fukuoka Castle, it is expected that Fukuoka Castle will be completed soon. According to his father, although the castle was built to conquer the four islands of Toying, it would be an important trading port in the future. I'm tired of the two gentlemen. ”
"The ministers are flattered, and they will do their best to complete the project as soon as possible."
According to Zhuge Liang's proposal, Chu Wu picked up the wind and washed the dust for these patriarchs of the emperor's generation, and got acquainted with Li Si, Li Jie and others.
The newly appointed generalissimo Bai Qi of the East Road, Le Yi, the commander of the Liaodong Army, Zheng He, the commander of the Fubo Army, Li Chenggui, the commander of the Goryeo Army, and other generals, Chu Wu also invited and deployed a plan to pacify the four islands of Dongying.
Now, with Chu Wu's ability, he can't make a tactical plan for the war of annihilation.
The deployment of the four islands of Dongying was actually a plan left by Chu Tian in advance before leaving Kyushu Island, and Zhuge Liang assisted Chu Wu to implement the plan.
Zhuge Liang said to Chu Wu in private: "Your Majesty personally went to the Western Regions to protect the mansion and handed over the important task of conquering the four islands of Dongying to Your Highness, in addition to Your Majesty personally dealing with the strong enemy from the west, there is another important reason, that is, to let Your Highness have the merit of destroying the country and consolidate His Highness's position." ”
"Father is really clever and strategic."
Chu Wu admired his father even more.
Chu Tian has been fighting for more than 20 years, has experienced strong winds and waves, has died many times, and not long ago almost died in the "nightmare" level of the epic battle copy, both in terms of knowledge and means, it is much higher than his son.
This also made Chu Tian even taller in Chu Wu's mind.
Zhuge Liang watched Chu Tian's back grow up, and had the same feeling as Chu Wu, and Chu Tian was also tall in his mind.
After the Emperor ordered the construction of Fukuoka Castle in Hakata Bay on the island of Kitakyushu, various architectural drawings and craftsmen were soon transported from the Central Plains to Hirado Island, and from Hirado Island they came to Hakata Bay by warship.
Chutian dispatched thousands of craftsmen, requisitioned 100,000 soldiers to help, and invested thousands of architectural drawings to enhance the prosperity of the new city!
First-class villages, second-class villages, third-level villages, first-class towns, second-class towns, third-level towns, small cities......
Soon, a first-class village will be upgraded to a small city!
And the prosperity of the city continues to rise!
Fukuoka Castle is located on the island of Kyushu, which is the seat of the future Kyushu Prefecture.
Therefore, Chutian left no room for anything, and aimed directly at large cities, even giant cities.
Never doubt the two abilities of the Central Plains Dynasty - farming, civil engineering.
When the Central Plains Dynasty made up its mind to build a big project, it was quickly completed.
This is the terrible thing of the centralization of power in the unified dynasty, which can mobilize a lot of resources to do one thing.
Li Si, who was sent to benefit Okajo and was known for his harshness, would strictly limit the time for completion.
Tachibanayama Castle, where many people were relocated to fill the population of Fukuoka Castle.
To upgrade a large city, you need to meet certain population conditions.
Tachibanayama Castle has a tendency to be abandoned.
Tachibana Michiyuki was seriously wounded and is recovering from a musket shot by the musket of the one-eyed dragon Masamune's mounted iron artillery team, and has officially passed the position of the governor to Tachibana Chiyo.
Tachibana Mountain Castle is about to be abolished, and Tachibana Chiyo, as the family governor, has to ask Chu Wu in a low voice: "Your Highness, I grew up in Tachibana Mountain Castle since I was a child, and the Tachibana family can't lose Tachibana Mountain Castle, begging you, keep Tachibana Mountain Castle, and Chiyo is willing to agree to all your requests......"
"Fukuoka Castle has been built and continues to grow in size, and more people are needed to fill the castle. In addition, Fukuoka Castle and Tachibanayama Castle had a functional conflict, so the size of Tachibanayama Castle had to be reduced. ”
Chu Wu was in trouble.
Tachibana Chiyo bit her lip lightly, not knowing how to convince Chu Wu.
"Tachibanayama Castle can be preserved, but the population must not exceed 3,000 people, which is considered a monument. The premise is that you have to leave Tachibana Mountain Castle and follow me to fight, and as for the affairs of the Tachibana family, you can leave it to the elders to take care of. ”
Chu Wu did not do anything wrong, but turned Tachibanayama Castle into a town, and as for the function of the castle, it was given to the newly built Fukuoka Castle.
The location of Tachibanayama Castle made it unsuitable for expansion into a large castle.
"I can promise Your Highness ......"
Tachibana Chiyo has been bullied by Chu Wu many times, but she has no better way.
Emperor Xia has issued an order to abandon Tachibana Mountain Castle and build a new governance office on Kyushu Island, Fukuoka Castle, and Chu Wu can strive to retain the main body of Tachibana Mountain Castle, which has been benevolent and righteous.
Emperor Xia didn't care about the request of a small Tachibana family.
In order to keep the last stronghold of the Tachibana family, she has done her best.
After trying to trick Tachibana Chiyo out of Tachibana Mountain Castle, Chu Wu let her go back to deal with the affairs of the Tachibana family.
The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.
If you have firearms, you can't serve Chu Wu if you want to.
Fukuoka Castle continues to expand in size, and it is about to be upgraded from a small city to a medium-sized city, and it is only two steps away from a large city that can open a teleportation array!
After Bai Qi replaced Le Yi as the generalissimo of the East Road, he deployed a defensive line to the south of the new city.
Before Fukuoka Castle was upgraded to a large city, Bai Qi focused on defense to ensure that Fukuoka Castle successfully opened the teleportation array, and then the Central Plains army continued to come out of the teleportation array, and it was easy to pacify Kyushu Island at that time.
The stronger the national strength, the stronger Bai Qi will be.
The Xia army suddenly stood still, so that Oda Nobunaga and other daimyo of Iwaya Castle couldn't help but watch.
What does Xia Jun want to do?
The news of the arrival of Emperor Chutian in Kyushu Island was spread in Iwaya Castle, so much so that Oda Nobunaga did not dare to act rashly.
While the daimyo were hesitant to wait and see, Fukuoka Castle was only one step away from being upgraded from a small castle to a medium-sized castle.
Finally, the Hojo family's Wind Demon Kotaro and the Tokugawa family's Hattori Hanzo and other ninjas learned from the north what the Toei daimyo wanted.
"Emperor Xia seems to have left Kitakyushu Island and gone to the Western Regions Metropolitan Protectorate."
"Xia Jun built a new city on the flat land of Hakata Bay, and most of the Tachibana family was moved to the new town!"
"What!?"
At this moment, both Oda Nobunaga and the calm Tokugawa Ieyasu were all shocked.
These daimyo also built a number of Heijo or mountain castles, and they quickly understood the purpose of the Xia army's construction of the new castle - to open a teleportation array and teleport the Central Plains army directly to Hakata Bay, not Hirado Castle.
The Central Plains Dynasty is rich and powerful, and it is really possible to directly build a large city and then use an expensive teleportation array.
"The emperor of the Celestial Empire, his ideas are simply wild, but with the national strength of the Central Plains Dynasty, he can do it ......"
Oda Nobunaga has a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of an opponent of this level.
Chu Tian's generosity shocked the daimyos of the four islands and seventeen roads of Dongying.
No daimyo could force a large castle in a short period of time.
"We can't sit still, we have to destroy the new city!"
Oda Nobunaga was a little afraid that Fukuoka Castle's teleportation array would open, otherwise they would lose their home advantage.
"Destroy the new city and drive them into the sea!"
A group of daimyo pondered the pros and cons, and finally agreed that they must take the initiative and destroy Fukuoka Castle before it was upgraded to a large castle.
"Date Masamune, has the Tachibana family really taken refuge in the Celestial Empire?"
Takahashi Totora, who survived the battle for Shikashima, couldn't believe it when he heard that Tachibana Michiyuki, who originally wanted to accept him as his son, defected to the Celestial Empire.
His hope of entering Tachibana Mountain Castle may be lost.
Not only that, but even Tachibana Chiyo, who agreed to get married, was snatched away by Chu Wu.
"Damn!"
Takahashi clenched his fists.
"The Otomo family has been hit hard, and the next big battle, join our Date family."
The one-eyed dragon Masamune tried to recruit Takahashi Tonghu, who was known as the "unparalleled in the western country".
