The city project, Wang Wu did not pay attention to it in general, but paid special attention to it.

Paying attention to the next few days, he devoted himself to the city project.

The drawings of the engineering planning scheme were also changed again and again under its strict requirements, and finally approved in the sixth draft.

The cost of the project was also increased to 2,678,300 taels of silver because of the "double first" requirements of safety first and quality first required by Wang Wu.

This is twice as much silver as the previous first draft of the plan.

The increased silver consumption was mainly used for defensive deployment facilities.

In the end, the plan was to build as many as 108 turrets, requiring more than 260 cannons, and nearly 100 other ancillary defensive measures, each of which required at least more than 3,000 taels of silver.

The height of the city wall has also increased from the original six meters to eight meters, and the thickness is three feet more than that of Jiangning and Xi'an.

It is required that the bricks of the boundary wall must be made of strip stones, which are glutinous rice juice and are cemented and formed, and cannot collapse with cannons, and this expense alone will cost more than 110,000 taels of silver.

The so-called penny is worth the goods.

If it weren't for the lack of electricity this year, Wang Wu would have been eager to pull up the power grid on the walls of the city.

But judging from the current effect, the city of Jingzhou after the successful construction can be described as the first strong city in Huguang.

The truly unbreakable kind.

If the enemy wants to break through the city of Jingzhou, he can only attack from one direction of the outer city, and there is no other way.

Even if the outer city is breached by the enemy, and there is an impregnable boundary wall, the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners stationed in the city will not be in danger of breaking the city.

In the new scheme, the streets in the city area are changed to vertical and horizontal structures, that is, cross-shaped distribution.

The Eight Flags are stationed on one side of each side in two flags, which is more conducive to traffic than the original layout, and looks more neat.

The artillery barracks, arrow pavilions, armory, stacking rooms, martial arts halls, reserve warehouses and other military facilities are all complete, and the Niulu official school built for the children of the Eight Banners to study is also supported.

Wang Wu has thought of everything that others can think of, and he has also thought of what others can't think of, and there is only one requirement, that is, to make the children of the Eight Banners who came all the way from Yanjing to Jingzhou feel "at home".

Serve in the city with peace of mind.

So that he can really take root in Jingzhou and become a nail in the Qing Dynasty Gongwei Jingxiang.

"The righteous land of the two yellow flags is occupied in the Phoenix Circle outside Desheng Gate, the righteous land of the two blue flags is occupied in the outer circle of Nanji Gate, and the remaining four banners are occupied in the Huayan Circle of Righteous Land"

Wang Wu even made clear arrangements for the posthumous refuge of the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners and their families.

I have to say that he racked his brains for this city, worthy of the Qing Dynasty and the children of the Eight Banners.

This planning plan, Ao Bai has to give a thumbs up.

"I'm afraid that the people in the Ministry of Industry are not so thoughtful."

Li Wen, the prefect of Jingzhou, didn't expect that the Han army and Wang Dutong would have such experience in building a city, and he couldn't help but admire it, but at the same time, he was also worried, because according to the plan of Lord Dutong, I am afraid that this city will not be able to be repaired in three or five years.

"Jingzhou is full of cities for a hundred years and a thousand years of the imperial court, don't say that it will be repaired for three or five years, and it will be repaired for thirty or fifty years!"

Wang Wuyi made the final decision, and no one was allowed to question his plan.

The final draft of the planning plan has been sent to Wuchang Jiaotong Governor Zhang Changgeng for approval, and now what Jingzhou needs to do is to demolish and relocate the residents in the city.

There are probably more than 10,000 Han households living in the area of Mancheng, and the total population needs to be relocated to more than 50,000.

However, there are not many vacant houses in the city, and only five or six thousand people can barely be accommodated, that is, less than one-tenth of the Han immigrants can immediately have a new place to live.

The rest of the Han Chinese had to live in temporary houses, that is, shacks made of wood.

If you don't want to live in a shack, you can go to live in other places, or join your relatives or something.

The compensation given by the Qing court to the Han people who moved abroad was very small, and the maximum amount of a house with a market value of 100 taels was 20 taels.

As for what kind of rental subsidy, there is it on the books, but when the money will be allocated, no one knows.

But the work had to start immediately, and the people had to move out immediately.

Not negotiated, but forced.

If you don't move, you have to move.

Jingzhou is now Wang Wu's territory, and it is also the base he wants to build, and he is definitely unwilling to use his own troops to force the Han people to move out.

So after the plan was finalized, he became the shopkeeper and didn't care.

was so anxious that Governor Li's mansion turned around, because how could tens of thousands of people be driven away by relying on the officials in the yamen.

The news that Jingzhou is going to build a full city and that the Han residents who have lived here for generations are going to be moved out has leaked, and with the help of "people with hearts", tens of thousands of Han residents who have moved out have been blown up at once.

Every day, thousands of residents besiege the prefect's yamen.

Li Wen did not dare to use the few servants to forcibly evict the residents, so he could only continue to persuade the people to disperse, saying that building a city was a major policy of the imperial court, and hoped that the people would understand and unconditionally support the imperial court's policy.

It was useless to say all the good things, and the people made a demand, hoping that the prefect would respond upwards and not build a city in Jingzhou, and not take away the houses they had lived in for generations.

"This official will tell you again, this is the decision of the imperial court, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners are stationed in Jingzhou to protect you from the attacks of bandits, and give up your small family for everyone, why don't you understand!"

Governor Li, whose voice was hoarse, said something that should not be said in a hurry.

It's that if the people make trouble again, they will go against the imperial court, and when the soldiers of the Eight Banners come over, they won't be as easy to talk as his prefect.

As a result, it almost led to a popular uprising.

In a panic, Governor Li could only send people over the wall to ask Wang Dutong to send troops to disperse the Diao people.

Wang Wu went fishing in the Yangtze River and ignored the prefect's request.

In desperation, Governor Li had to send people to Wuchang to ask for help from the governor and the governor's yamen.

Zhang Changgeng and Yang Maoxun, the governor of Huguang, decided to send the superintendent battalion to Jingzhou to assist in the relocation of the people.

Most of the soldiers in the supervision battalion are soldiers from other places, and using soldiers from other places to deal with the local people is a common method used by the government.

It is also one of the reasons why local soldiers are not allowed to be stationed in the local area.

I am afraid that the local soldiers will not bear to do it, or they will be bewitched by the local people.

Who knew that as soon as the 3,000 soldiers of the standard battalion set off from Wuchang, Wang Wu spoke, saying that foreign soldiers would never be allowed to set foot in Jingzhou.

This made Zhang Changgeng angry, and he went to Jingzhou in a rage, and asked Wang Wu what he wanted to do in person: "The Eight Banners soldiers and their families in Yanjing are on the road, not to mention that you have not started construction in the city, and even the Han people in the city have not moved out, are you going to let the Eight Banners soldiers live in the Yangtze River!" ”

Lao Zhang was really angry and anxious.

engineering, he gave.

He is also raising money for the project.

even agreed to the reinforcement plan, although it used more silver, but after all, the starting point was good, and the court could get through.

But your kid is now giving him such a play, how can he explain to the court?
