Chapter 68: Building a Bridge

On the south side of the river, wooden boats were lowered into the river, making a large splash.

Carpenters came in groups across the river and began to build pontoon bridges.

The wood used for the pontoon bridge is harvested from Yangzhou and Jiangzhou, and it is obtained by drying in the shade for several years, and the texture is tough and not easy to perish after being painted.

There are still people roasting bamboo on the river.

The boats are all connected by thick bamboo pieces one after another, which is very strong.

A better way is of course to be connected with iron chains, but the cost is too high.

After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Tang Dynasty rebuilt the Heyang Sancheng pontoon bridge, which was also connected with bamboo inlays, but the Pubanjin pontoon bridge was connected with iron chains.

"If you are hungry for food, you will live!"

"Help me! Help me! ”

The servants shouted trumpets and buried a heavy stone beast in a pre-dug pit.

The stone beast is fixed with iron chains, and its main function is to pull a part of the pontoon bridge near the river bank so that it does not drift too much - if possible, it is better to bury the iron man underground, but isn't there no condition?

From the point of view of the construction method, this pontoon bridge is much more formal than the temporary temporary bridge built during the war, and can be used for many years under proper maintenance.

The original river bridge was built by Du Pre, and it was barely there when Wang Ying first raised the army in Chengdu, and it was soon destroyed in the war. In the end, there is only one place name left: River Bridge.

Now, here comes the real river bridge.

"Whoa!" A boat was pushed off the shore, and Shao Xun and Fu Yi boarded the boat and sailed to the west of Hezhu.

The two rivers were very close and arrived quickly.

After the group went ashore, the sergeants who were clearing weeds and bushes on the island saluted.

In the center of the island is the shrine, called "Heping Hou Temple".

There are some people living inside and outside the ancestral hall, who are taking earth to build walls and repairing houses.

There is a tablet in front of the shrine, and the handwriting is dense.

Fu You stared at the shrine for a long time.

"What is Situ thinking?" Shao Xun asked softly.

"In the life of Emperor Wen (Sima Zhao), it is rumored that the big fish sees Mengjin, hundreds of steps long, five zhang high, the head is on the south bank, the tail is in Zhongzhu, and the Heping Hou Temple is this shrine." Fu Yi replied.

Shao Xun glanced at this river shrine covered by green trees and red flowers, and felt very good.

There are many open spaces around the river shrine, the arbors are clear, and the water and grass are abundant, and livestock can be grazing.

He estimated that 30 hectares of farmland could still be cleared, and 2 to 300 households could be resettled. In addition, there is a large pasture, a small number of woods, and cattle and sheep can also be grazing.

But it doesn't really make sense.

It is mainly used for military purposes, to open up some vegetable furrows and orchards, and it is okay to subsidize military needs, and there is no need to farm.

"I can't hold on any longer." Fu Yi sighed and said, "My family knows about my family's affairs, and I won't live for a few days." Many of the people on the river were recruited by the old man, and now they are suffering. ”

"What does Situ mean? Let's put it bluntly. Shao Xun said.

Fu Yi was speechless for a while, and after being silent for a long time, he only said: "Be kind to them." ”

Shao Xun looked at him.

Fu Yi sighed again and said, "Let them live." ”

"Okay." Shao Xun agreed.

Fu Yi no longer spoke, but sat in the barren grass and looked at the north bank of the river.

His body is deteriorating, his life is about to come to an end, and before he dies, he is facing such a look of ruined country and family, which makes him a little uncomfortable.

Shao Xun patrolled around the island on his own.

The only men were basically conscripted to work.

The women planted a small amount of food, fruit and vegetables, but when they saw people coming, they hid because they either did not have enough clothing or were too tattered to cover themselves.

The child even ran around naked.

In fact, it is not much different from Yuzhou, which he controls.

Even if there is a big family to protect them, can they really make sure that everyone has clothes to wear, and everyone is not bare buttocks? Impossible.

This is the way of the world today, hunger has plagued people for several years, the sericulture industry has suffered a heavy blow, and the hemp fields have also suffered heavy losses, and they cannot eat enough and wear warm.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the shabby and poor scholars have the fact that they stay at relatives' houses and secretly wear a suit of clothes and pants when they leave, so that it is a joke.

Fu only asked Shao Xun to be kind to these people, but he really couldn't do it, so he could only promise to let them live.

If you live, there is hope.

The mulberry seedlings that are being transplanted in a large area in Yuzhou are hopeful.

The newly opened hemp field is hope.

Gradually, I hope to be able to eat a few more bites.

The number of cows, sheep, horses, and donkeys that increase day by day is hope.

Solve the problem of hunger and bare ass first - there is no worse traverser than me.

"Keep this land for me." Shao Xun pointed to a wasteland in the northeast corner of Hezhu and said to Cai Cheng: "I will come to reclaim the wasteland in the afternoon. Who are these sheep? I bought it, exchanged it for food and people, and gave more. Cut down some more trees and build me a house. ”

"No." Cai Cheng was stunned, Ming Gong is going to be a hermit?

"Who dug the pool outside?" Shao Xun pointed to the periphery of the field again and asked.

Similar to Taozhu, there is a hand-dug pond based on the topography, with three sides and one facing the water.

The water in the pool doesn't seem to be very deep, because there is no way to stop the boat.

"It should be dug by the sergeant who once went to the island." Cai Cheng replied.

"Fence it off and build an embankment." Shao Xun commanded.

"No."

Shao Xun walked to the edge of the pool again and looked carefully.

Tang Dynasty Zhongyun City (built on the sandbar in the river), dug a lot of such pools, relying on the water surface of the Yellow River, raised a lot of carp, huge and fat, people at the time called "yellow croaker", often sent to the palace as tribute.

When Li Guangbi guarded the three cities of Heyang, he was short of grain for a time, so he fished a large amount of "yellow croaker".

"Let's go back." Shao Xun waved his hand and said: "Ding Zhuang, a homeless person from the three islands of Tao Zhu, Gao Zhu, and Ma Zhu, will be carefully counted and compiled into a book from now on. ”

"Ming Gong, where did the cloth come from?" Cai Cheng asked in a low voice.

"There should still be a little bit of the imperial court." Shao Xun said: "I will go to the court later, please allocate equipment and food." There is no food in the court, and the equipment and cloth can always be poured out, and I don't want much. ”

"Does Duke Ming want to incorporate these Ding Zhuang into the army?"

"It's just an army of its own." Shao Xun said: "The three cities of Heyang, after all, they still have to rely on themselves to defend them. It is impossible for the Silver Lancers to stay here for long, and they will have to leave sooner or later. ”

"Yes." Cai Cheng understood.

There are only a few thousand homeless households on the three islands, which is actually very few.

However, the imperial court settled Heyang County on Taozhu, but the county included three sandbars in the middle of the river, a large area of land near Mengjin, and many places on the north bank of the Great River that were still under Xiongnu control.

The area around Mengjin is relatively extensive, and I heard that thousands of displaced families have been forcibly relocated and built a city.

If you count those people, there are indeed quite a few people.

From now on, these people will be the main force to guard the three cities of Heyang on a daily basis.

"The military horn is called-" Shao Xun thought for a while and said, "Hei Zhen! ”

On the embankment, the canopy is like a cloud, and the flag is like a forest.

Liu Cong, the son of the Han Dynasty, jumped on the river and quietly looked at the other side.

The Yellow River is not wide, and from the north bank, the island in the middle of the river is crowded with people, sweating like rain.

The foundation of the city has been laid, and the construction of the earth has already begun.

In fact, it will not take long to build a city.

The rude city that can barely be used can be built by tens of thousands of people for more than half a month. If you want to build stronger, take more time and use more good materials.

Now it seems that the Jin people are constantly transporting wood, stone, bricks and tiles to the island day and night, and it seems that they are going to build a strong city. And it's only June, so they have plenty of time to finish.

"Zhu Qing said, how should the Jin people deal with the construction of a city on the south bank and in the middle of the river?" Liu Cong looked at the princes and ministers who were following him and asked.

Dazai Liu Yannian opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the Jin people are good at boats, and I am good at horses, why should I fight with them for the length of a day?" ”

The general of the Chinese army heard it and had the heart to refute, but Liu Yannian had interceded for him, which was considered to have saved his life, but it was not good to refute it in person, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, you still have to think of a fight." It would have been enough to build the city only on the south bank, in the middle of the river, but it was likely that they would have built it all the way to the north bank. The three cities are united, then they can enter and go freely, they can fight if they want to, and if they don't want to fight, they will retreat to the fortified city, which is like a thorn in the back and has to be pulled out. ”

Liu Cong glanced at Liu Yannian coldly, and secretly said that the old man was confused. Xuan looked at Wang Zhang again, with a complicated expression.

Going back to the city itself, the threat is indeed very great, at least Hanoi, which has no danger to defend, is under the front of others.

After a few years, the Jin people once again took the initiative to attack, which made him very unhappy.

Yes, just not happy.

Shao Xun refuted his face everywhere and disgusted him everywhere, and this breath became more and more unbearable.

"Order, transfer Shile and Zhao Gu to lead the army to come and prevent the enemy from building the city." Liu Cong flicked the sleeves of his robe and ordered.

Soon a decree was issued.

Wang Zhang pondered silently.

Even if Shi Le and Zhao Gu are unwilling, they should still obey orders and bring at least some people over.

In this way, it is better to weaken its strength, so as not to lose it in the future.

It's long the time coming!

Since Cao Wei occupied Qingzhou, the imperial court has been alert.

Shi Le didn't dare to resist now, and he didn't have the capital to resist, so it was right for him to come over and fight Shao Xun and consume each other. As long as Shi Le didn't dare to resist this time, he wouldn't dare to resist next time.

Thinking about it this way, it is still a good thing for the Jin people to build the three cities of Heyang.

If there was no such thing, the Son of Heaven might not have sent Shi Anton to fight here.

If Shao Xun had not cleaned up Henan, the imperial court might not have sent Zhenyuan's general Liang Fuqi to lead his army eastward and start running Hebei.

Well, that's a great thing!

After Liu Cong watched the embankment for a while, he led the crowd to leave and went to Yewang.

Halfway through, Zhonghuangmen came to report: Liu Ying, a noble concubine, and Liu Yin, a Taibao, died one after another.

Liu Cong was stunned for a long time, his mouth opened, and finally closed again.

Before he planned to make Liu Ying, the daughter of Liu Yin and the noble concubine of Taibao, the queen, the queen mother did not allow it, and asked to make her grandnephew and nobleman Zhang Huiguang the queen.

Liu Cong agreed.

It's just that he never thought that Liu Yin and Liu Ying's father and daughter would die one after another?

But that's not the only bad news.

Guanzhong reported that Zhongshan Wang Yao and Zhenxi General were invincible in a single campaign, so they withdrew from Chang'an, retreated to Feng Yi, and drove more than 80,000 women from Chang'an to Pingyang.

Liu Cong regretted it a little at this time.

The retreat was orderly, and he could come back with 80,000 prisoners, in fact, it was not defeated, at least the strength of the Jin army in Guanzhong was very limited and he was unable to pursue.

If I knew this, I would have given some more soldiers, maybe I would have defeated Jia Kai and others.

Liu Cong felt that his brain was a little messy, and it was time to sort out the strategy, which direction was more important to him.
