Chapter 35: Lu Yan is back!

"Congratulations on the victory of King Shou, Your Highness!"

At this time, no matter what objections were to Li Jie's sudden control of the military power in Guannai, everyone still praised it very sincerely.

Li Jie casually arched his hand to them, walked up to Li Yi and bowed,

"The younger brother is fortunate not to be dishonored, and it is all blessed by the ancestors of the Li family."

Only the two brothers could understand this.

Li Yi walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder,

"This armor is not good, I have already created a fitting suit for you by the Shaofu Jiafang Bureau, but it may take a little longer."

Li Jie nodded vigorously, his heart was hot.

This sentence is a hundred times stronger than any compliment, and it truly reflects the love and care of this imperial brother for him.

Looking back at the civil and military officials around him, he groaned,

"Since you are all here, let's hold a meeting temporarily, first, I killed Huang Chao's son-in-law this time, the two sides have become mortal enemies, and if there are any ideas that are beneficial to defending the city, please talk about it, and Your Majesty will adopt it after consulting with you."

Then I took advantage of the twilight to look at the endless camp of the Yellow Nest,

"In addition, we will talk about the effect of the implementation of the ordinances issued a few days ago, check and fill in the gaps, and adjust the unreasonable places in a timely manner!"

After seeing that everyone did not object to this, he gritted his teeth,

"Finally, in view of the lack of food and grass in the city, this king proposes that from this day onwards, from the princely generals to the common people, all the relevant materials should be under military control, and all the relevant materials should be distributed according to their needs, until the thieves are defeated, or..."

He paused for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Chang'an City is broken!" ”

Yes?!

As soon as this statement came out, almost everyone was taken aback.

Although the word "military management" appears for the first time in history, it is not difficult to understand what it means from the literal point alone.

The officials discussed a lot, but they only felt that this matter was too rigid and arbitrary, and they shook their heads and nodded their own opinions.

Pei Che and Cui Xin, the household servant, glanced at each other, and bowed to Li Yi together,

"Your Majesty, although what King Shou said is more extreme, it is also reasonable. However, the hundreds of thousands of people in the city are just repaid, but these many people from noble families are afraid..."

Li Yi also frowned, these people are indeed difficult to deal with.

They are all privileged people, and they hold the lifeblood of the Tang Dynasty to a certain extent, if they really want to provoke them, the already turbulent people's will be even more unstable.

There are a few more rebellious people who make some kind of trouble, and they are used by the spies lurking in the city of the Yellow Nest, but don't deal with the defense of the city while preventing unstable factors from within.

He glanced at Li Jie, "Ajie, this matter is too important, should I gather all the relevant people in the city to discuss one or two?" ”

Of course, the people of the city are not included in this context, but in particular the magnates.

Li Jie thought about it for a while, no wonder, at this time, it was in ancient times, and it was not like later countries to have such a relevant document and regulation, other state capitals may be okay, but in this capital full of powerful people, it is indeed difficult to get unified support.

"Then this matter will be bothered by Your Majesty, looking at the current intention of the Huangchao army, it should be to prepare a large number of siege things, and the younger brother will supervise all matters to defend the city, so he will not participate!"

Seeing Li Yi return to Taiji Palace, Li Jie temporarily set his residence in the gatehouse of Qixiamen.

For a time, this city tower became his big tent of the Chinese army, and civil and military officials shuttled endlessly, and the progress and problems of various related matters were placed on his case, and he had a headache.

Fortunately, Lu Jiping and Zhang Zhifang, Han Meng and others are all considered to be the best in the army, as the last force to guard Chang'an, the generals of the North and South Ya began to study how to defend the city from the Sui Dynasty, regardless of the history of Chang'an City was beaten in for various reasons, theoretically they did their homework.

With someone to help, Li Jie is also as good as a stream, only interjecting a few words when he feels wrong, and all the rest is handled by these people.

"Your Highness, you want to divert the water of the two rivers in the city under the city walls?"

Lu Jiping's eyes widened in disbelief.

Now it is a severe cold, although Chang'an is not as cold as the north outside the Guanwai, the river has formed a thick layer of ice, and the surface soil is also frozen.

A director of the Ministry of Engineering had a sad face, feeling that his life was not easy.

Li Jie sat cross-legged behind the desk, looked at the paperwork, and said: "This king took a look earlier, the soil on this ground is only less than a foot frozen, and the bottom is still soft, as long as enough agricultural workers are recruited, it should be completed within seven days." ”

Zhang Zhifang suddenly slapped his thigh, pulling the injured arm, grinning in pain, but looking excited.

"Your Highness is wise, once this canal is dug successfully, it can first solve the problem of drinking water for the soldiers defending the city, and can also set up a large urn to boil the water to defend against the enemy, and can also prevent the digging army of Huangchao from digging tunnels, it is simply a triple win!"

The other two couldn't help but nod their heads, feeling that this method was wonderful.

"The Diggers?"

Li Jie opened his mouth, which he really didn't expect.

However, that was not his original purpose.

At that time, Mingrenzong Zhu Gaochi also used 10,000 old and weak soldiers to face the 500,000 army sent by Emperor Jianwen to conquer the city, which was also in winter, and this 500,000 army was the regular army of the Ming Dynasty at that time, far from being comparable to the people of Huangchao.

But under the command of such a big fat man who struggled to walk, he still insisted on Zhu Di's return to help.

Among them, I don't know how many tragic offensive and defensive battles have been taken, and how many city defense strategies have been used.

But there is one thing he remembers clearly, that is, Zhu Gaochi led the water in the city to pour the city wall, turning the entire Yanjing City into an ice castle, which greatly strengthened the solidity of the city wall and avoided the possibility of local collapse of the weak part of the city wall.

Chang'an City is different from the film and television dramas of later generations, which is made of blue bricks and stones, and it looks very solid and beautiful.

In fact, it is an earthen wall poured from rammed earth, and the thickness is uneven, and after hundreds of years of rain erosion and weathering, it has long been dilapidated, and in some places it has even collapsed, and it is temporarily filled by wooden fences.

He didn't understand many methods in ancient city defense, but fortunately, he had read a lot of history books for professional reasons, and although the insight of a descendant could not play a decisive role in this point, it could never be said to be useless.

"Poor God, let this happen in the winter, if it were in any other season, just repairing the walls would be a trouble!"

After sighing in my heart, I glanced at the director of the Ministry of Works,

"I'll leave this matter to you, find a person with excellent eloquence to accompany you, know the reason, and tell the importance of it to the people and peasants in the city, this king will give you seven days, become a promotion and a knight, and you will wipe your neck after seven days!"

Speaking of eloquence, he suddenly thought of Lu Yan, who had already gone out of the city to gather the remaining soldiers in various towns, and he didn't know how he did things, just don't hit the wall like Qin Ruoshui.

"The subordinate receives the order..."

The principal walked out of the door with a bitter face, and Bai Heng walked in with a happy face.

"Your Highness, Lu Yan is back!"

Oh, I really want Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived.

He couldn't help but be shocked, and immediately said, "Let him come in!"
