Chapter 352: Digging a ditch
"Kaqin has been to the Assassin's Mansion. She wanted Fang Xian to dig a ditch and divert water to flood the winery. Xu Younan continued: "Fang Xian didn't agree. I'm worried that she will use some drastic means to force Fang Xian to comply. ”
"Let her go." Jin Yanchen had a meaningless attitude: "This matter can be done or not." But if Fang Xian can be dragged into the water, so that the four Jiankang people can fight again and be lively for a while, it will not be a bad thing. ”
Xu Younan glanced at Jin Yanchen quietly, still smiling.
Obviously, after the appearance in the winery this morning, Jin Yanchen was in a good mood.
Otherwise, Mu Dianke's approach of finding trouble with nothing would inevitably lead him to a rage.
Mu Dian is not a good man and a woman, he has always only had the method of vajra, and suddenly gave birth to a bodhisattva's heart, and he didn't need to think about it to know who she learned from.
Xu Younan secretly thought: Chang Qianfo's stove has already burned out of the climate, and he is not afraid that it will cool down. It's rare for Jin Yanchen to be happy, but he doesn't have to pour cold water on him.
Then he smiled: "Yes, Kaqin has always been thoughtful and far-sighted." Speaking of which, if she hadn't stopped you today, she would have really let you into the courtyard full of gunpowder, and the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”
Jin Yanchen raised his eyebrows: "She is stopping?" Why? ”
"It was Asimu who told her," Xu Younan pretended to be a memory, and thought for a while: "...... What 'when the night is not over, avoid the rooster before it crows'. He smiled: "Since Asim has said so, you can listen to it and don't work too hard." The internal injuries suffered by Jinguan last time haven't healed, right? ”
There was a brilliance in Jin Yanchen's eyes, but it was only a momentary thing, and it disappeared in a flash.
The attitude was loosened and there was an "um" sound.
Xu Younan is the best at observing words and feelings, and today he seems to be extremely dull, and he did not deliberately hit him with words. After a few words, he skipped this stubble and talked about the things on the side.
Both of them knew it in their hearts. Asimu is a Hui person, although he can also speak a few words of Chinese, but such a crepe is not something he can say.
Mu Dianke was worried about Jin Yanchen's injury after all. She fooled Xu Younan with these nonsense, and Xu Younan pretended to believe it. Then pick an appropriate time to move it to Jin Yanchen, Jin Yanchen was happy, and he was able to listen to this, Xu Younan also had a heart.
Simple things have to be complicated, and smart people should listen to them in a confused way.
What kind of injustice is this? Xu Younan sighed faintly in his heart.
***
The hour has just passed.
Chen Ning and the guards of the Four City Gates, who were presiding over the resettlement of the epidemic people, respectively received orders from Fang Xian, asking them to put down all the affairs at hand and immediately go to the Assassin's Mansion to discuss urgent matters.
Soldiers are fast.
When a few people arrived, Fang Xian had already distributed the houses of the winery and the surrounding area, which were densely populated and the terrain was high and low...... The relevant information has been collected comprehensively and sorted out in detail.
Of course, a considerable part of the information was sent by Chang Qian Buddha.
The number of acres occupied by the winery has been measured and verified accurately, and it can be inferred from the surrounding underground conditions learned from nearby residents that the winery should be covered with a large amount of hard sand and gravel soil and red clay, which can be excavated for several feet without the risk of collapse.
And it is not easy to dig a well to get water, it needs to be dug to a considerable depth underground, shallow is three zhang, deep is four or five zhang, only to see the water source. Therefore, there is no need to worry about gunpowder being soaked in water and damp.
If Tan Zhou's financial resources were sufficient, the amount of gunpowder he could plant in the five underground of the winery would be considerable.
The most critical point is that Tan Zhou hoarded gunpowder to deal with Jin Yanchen.
Jin Yanchen is not an ordinary master of the rivers and lakes. broke into the palace at night to assassinate, and was still able to retreat under the siege of the masters of Ouchi. Whether in terms of speed, strength, or sensitivity, it is the best in the world.
If Tan Zhou wants to leave Jin Yanchen in this fate-killing array, it is conceivable that once the gunpowder is detonated, the scope of the impact will definitely not be small.
After intense discussions, Fang Xian finally made the decision and finalized the plan: first relocate the people, and then divert water.
In order to prevent it from being delayed for too long, things changed, and the ditch was dug and the relocation was carried out at the same time.
From Tushui to the south and Kongzi River to the west, there are canals leading to the Aizura Winery on Aizawa Street. A steep gate was built a mile away from the winery to block the water, and the surrounding residents were removed before the floodgates were released.
In addition, stone weirs were built in the east, south and north directions to stop the flood water coming out of the canal and prevent disasters. Take advantage of the topography to form a whirlpool and lead the canal water west to the open Fenghu Lake.
It's just that in this way, the amount of human power consumed is quite huge.
Not counting the expenses incurred in a series of complicated affairs, such as dredging the water level of the lake and relocating the surrounding residents.
But Fang Xian had already made up his mind and his attitude was extremely resolute, and no one in Chen Ning and other subordinates dared to oppose it.
What's more, with such a large amount of strong gunpowder in the city, it is a matter of human life to move it, and no one dares to be sloppy in this matter. I also did it with great dedication.
The officials in charge of the water conservancy in Tuntian in each county were quickly summoned and neatly summoned, including the river workers and fishermen in this area, and the people who lived by the river with good water quality.
Fang Xian transferred a total of 5,000 people from the elite cavalry of the Huxiao battalion and the garrison of the Yongding battalion brought into Chuzhou, and only less than 1,000 people remained, and they guarded the four gates together with the soldiers of Chuzhou.
The 4,000 soldiers all took off their armor, and Hao Hao went to Tushui and Kong Zihe to stand by.
Chen Ning came forward to recruit migrant workers, and imitated the method of "pestle and chacha interception" used by Li Bingxing to repair Dujiangyan, and used bamboo baskets to load stones and carry out three-sided encirclement.
As for how to persuade the surrounding people to relocate in the short term, it is a big problem. Considering Su Hongyu's extremely high popularity in Chuzhou, Fang Xian decided to make an exception for Su Hongyu to be guilty of awaiting trial, and still perform the post of messenger to handle this errand.
As a result, as soon as Su Hongyu's car set off, news of an outbreak of evil plague came from Happy Horse Street and Huize Street.
Immediately after that, rumors flew all over the sky, and it was that Hu Zhu of Shou'an Medicine Hall was instructed by Tan Lang to put the plague poison into the medicine pot of Huairen Hall, and the poison was not extracted from his own medicine hall, but borrowed from the Tan family's courtyard.
A total of two bottles of poison were refined. Hu Zhu used a bottle, and the remaining bottle of Tan Lang was kept and placed in his family's gold and silver vault.
As a result, a thief came, and when he saw that the Tan family had suffered a disaster, he entered Tan's house at night to steal, turned out the plague, and saw that it was a useless thing, so he threw it into the well.
The underground water veins are connected, and a well is poisoned, and all the wells in this area become poisoned wells. The water stained with pesticity is dipped in and drunk and died, and the flowers used to water the flowers withered, and when the sun came out, it steamed into the air, and when it was inhaled, it became sick.
Within half an hour, the entire street was empty.
Fang Xian was really stunned for a long time after hearing this.
There are no coincidences in the world, but there are no such coincidences. As soon as the drowsiness came up, the pillow was handed over.
The means are so shady, it must not be Huairentang, that is what Mu Dian can ask someone to do.
Fang Xian was angry and funny.
But in any case, Mu Dianke's hand was much more effective than the stupid method of persuasion from house to house that he thought of. In this way, the surrounding residents quickly emptied it, and the fortifications of building steep gates at the ends of the two canals were omitted, and Mu Dian could be regarded as a great favor to him.
The fortifications of the two rivers were in full swing, and Fang Xian was on the embankment, leaning on a horse to write a letter to Rong Yi.
“…… In the third year, he was taken care of by Ayi, he didn't know the hardships and dangers of the world, he earned a false business card in vain, and he was deeply ashamed of himself.
……
The sage said: A gentleman has three joys, but the king does not exist with the world. Parents exist, brothers have no reason, and they are happy. Look up to the sky, bow down to others, and be happy...... No one is good, no one is virtuous. Manifest rebellion, want to practice the words of the saint with his own body, do things worthy of heaven and earth, ups and downs, only ask for peace of mind.
……
The sage also said: You must not be close to each other, and you must not be human; If you are not obedient to your relatives, you shall not be a son. Thinking about the short-term rate, to endanger the relatives, this is to show the unfilial piety of the son of man...... Words cannot redeem it. The two elders are trusted, and they hope to forgive them.
Xiantun bowed his head. ”
