In less than half a month, the evaluation of the international peacekeeping forces has undergone earth-shaking changes in the mouths of the princes.
The nobles said that this group of migrant workers would definitely be rubbed by the Song State, and the strong man of the Wu State was in trouble this time.
When news of the changes in the situation in Biyang Kingdom reached Gusu, the old monster Gou Chen was also worried. It would be a pity if Li Jie died abroad.
In line with the principle of building up family wealth and talents for successors, the old monster sent people to Jiangyin City, found Jiangyinzi's real wife Dan, and said that the central government has learned about your situation, but the current international environment does not allow the country to act recklessly.
We use troops, so in addition to providing direct military intervention, what other needs can be raised?
Meidan originally wanted to hide all her husband's belongings, but when she heard what the king wanted, she seemed to want Jiangyinyi to roll up her sleeves and work harder? Is the king losing his mind and going crazy?
Then the real lady of Jiangyin, who had been a beautiful silkworm girl, made a weak request, saying that there were relatively few farm tools, and they were still made of stone.
When the news came back to Suzhou, the old monster was so moved that savages were so honest.
Good job, folks!
Seeing that the conditions in Jiangyin City were so difficult, King Wu was relieved and asked someone to tell Jiangyinzi's real wife: I mean, you can make any requests!
The person who came back to convey the king's order this time was "Brother Jie" who had already stabbed him in the crotch. Moreover, "Brother Jie" was very smart and did not directly make a living as a servant of the king. Instead, he communicated with Jiang Yinzi Li Jie
"Friendship" obtained the right to "interview" the hometown of "Baisha".
If anything happens to "Baisha", "Brother Jie" can ask about it and then tell the king.
In the future, there will be a new king, and "Brother Jie" who is not in the office, will be a qualified tool man no matter what. When the time comes, it will be too late to act cute with the new king.
The most important thing is that Brother Jie is very young now and is actually a great young man. However, after having children, he must have pursuits.
Brother Jie has now determined that Jiang Yinzi, the hunk of kings, has a bright future, and Brother Jie knows very well that even Dazai Ziqi’s tribe will move to the vicinity of Baisha Village. What does this mean? This means that even Dazai Ziqi, who is stronger, is also optimistic about hunk Li.
Solution.
Ever since, Brother Jie was willing to run errands to Jiangyin.
This time I returned to Jiangyin and met Jiangyin's wife Dan. Everything was very friendly. Moreover, the king asked Meidan to make a request, and Dan also asked for some farm tools, which was very simple.
"Madam, there is no need to worry. Your Majesty ordered me to come here to provide support for Jiang Yinzi. If there is any shortage, Madam, once you tell me, it will be fine. After I copy it, I will return to Gusu and report it to your Majesty."
"This...is not good."
Dan held his child Li Lei and looked at "Brother Jie" with some embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter."
In the eyes of "Brother Jie", they are all his own people, so there is nothing wrong with giving Jiangyin City a little more convenience now. Besides, the king has agreed, Jiangyin City cannot be allowed to bleed and shed tears, and it must be subsidized and subsidized.
"Then... I would like to thank you, Your Majesty..." Dan nodded, then waved, "Shang Ji, where is the scroll?"
"here."
Shang Xiaomei smiled and came out holding a roll of something. It was not paper, but a special white silk with densely written words on it.
Seeing this situation, "Brother Jie"'s face trembled, and his young face suddenly elongated like Li Tiegen's. "Brother Jie" suddenly understood that not only he, but also the king had been tricked.
I didn’t expect, I didn’t expect, that the beautiful silkworm ladies who were famous in Gusu back then would be so cunning?
Is there still heavenly law? Is there still royal law?
However, "Brother Jie" suddenly changed his mind and wondered if the strong man could be where he is today because of the support of his wife. Back then, some people said that the beautiful Canniang was the "virtuous woman in the wild". Now it seems that it makes sense.
Holding the scroll, "Brother Jie" was not just about to collapse in face, but his whole body was about to collapse.
The scroll is quite heavy...
The support given by Gusu was very important, especially for agricultural tools, because these days' agricultural tools can also be used as engineering tools. The assistance Jiangyin received was not mainly about the materials themselves, but the considerable number of tool workers.
A new order from the King of Wu was to ask all the Jianghuai countries to mobilize craftsmen to support Li Jie, the son of Jiangyin.
Originally, the number of professional craftsmen in Jiangyin City was very small, and the truly trained craftsmen were mainly bamboo craftsmen. Although there were carpenters and stonemasons, they were not professional and could only process some parts according to Li Jie's assigned work, or else
Extremely original rough machining.
When it comes to the precision structures of small categories, the importance of professional craftsmen is very prominent.
It has nothing to do with the degree of execution, but the degree of completion of the task.
To put it bluntly, no matter how obedient a rookie is, it is very difficult for them to build a gantry crane that is tight and durable.
With a certain number of qualified craftsmen, all Li Jie has to do is allocate the processes.
Take the construction of the village wall as an example. After leveling the land in the early stages, County Magistrate Li had two tracks laid. Moving on the tracks were one or more wooden gantry cranes.
By manually controlling the pulley block, components weighing several thousand kilograms can be lifted in a single operation.
Rammed earth block building is also a stacking method, and County Magistrate Li's requirements for these walls are not permanent fortifications, so inexperienced wastes can be allowed to make small rammed earth block building pieces of certain regulations in advance.
Then, these small rammed earth building blocks are hoisted as a whole using a gantry crane and moved and connected.
After completion, piles will be driven twice inside and outside to further strengthen the wall, and also to facilitate the installation of bunkers such as sentry towers on the upper floors.
Therefore, from the appearance point of view, the fortifications of Biyang Kingdom in the northwest appear to be extremely hard and reliable, but in fact they are not the same thing at all.
Craftsmen from various countries originally did not intend to go to Biyang Kingdom to suffer, but because of King Wu's order, they had to bite the bullet and enter Biyang Kingdom within ten days.
After arriving in Biyang Kingdom, as soon as I saw the wide variety of carpenter and masonry tools produced in Jiangyin with excellent workmanship, my moral integrity was thrown out of the window.
When the gantry crane was unveiled, more than half of the craftsmen promised to immigrate their skills as long as Jiangyin accepted it.
Anyway, his status in the country is not high, and Jiangyin City clearly stipulates that craftsmen will never be owed wages.
The most important thing is to have meat to eat.
It's just that the texture of the meat is a bit weird.
"What kind of meat is this? It tastes very good and the meat tastes good, but... there seems to be something wrong with it."
In the section where the Tan people were responsible, the team leader and the craftsmen were eating meat together in the canteen. The aroma was so fragrant that it could be smelled for miles.
When they first ate this meat, the team leaders were very excited, but as they ate it more often, they began to doubt life.
Because there is no reason to eat meat every day?
This is unscientific.
Even if the macho man is very strong, can he still grow meat from the ground?
“It would be nice to have meat!”
A carpenter happily sandwiched a piece of five-spice beef-flavored dried tofu. The dried tofu was perfectly marinated. After biting into it, it was slightly chewy, and at the same time, it was very satisfying because it was thickly cut.
The dried tofu is marinated with large chunks of beef, which naturally gives the dried tofu a rich meaty flavor.
Many of the craftsmen had never eaten meat before. When they ate dried tofu, they thought it might be the meat of some kind of animal, but it was meat anyway, so what were they afraid of?
Moreover, the crocodile men from Jiangyin City said that they went everywhere killing dragons and catching giant kuns. Maybe they were dragon meat or giant kun skins? I'm not sure.
In the operations office, County Magistrate Li was very happy. The five-spice dried tofu served tens of thousands of people, and it had protein, which was very good.
In addition to protein, you also need vitamins, and there is no shortage of bean sprouts every day.
Mung bean sprouts are always a good thing, but mung beans these days are not worth much at all. County Magistrate Li can buy dozens of jars of honey from all over the world, and he can do whatever he wants.
The animals can actually eat meat only two to three times a month, and they can actually eat meat once every ten or fifteen days.
Most of the time, they work in the tofu field, and these losers don’t know what tofu is anyway.
In addition to dried tofu, we also make some oil embryos, that is, fried tofu, tofu, fried tofu or other ghost things. They are very big, and the reason why they are made bigger is to make it easier to stuff things inside.
What should be stuffed? Fat, whale meat, snail meat, shellfish, pickles, wild vegetables, diced tofu... Anyway, stuff whatever you want, just mix it with salt and soy sauce, and it's almost done.
If that doesn't work, you can stuff it with kelp. Anyway, it tastes pretty good, it's easy to stew, and it's very affordable to eat.
Amazingly deceptive.
All the animals who worked overtime on the construction site felt that although the macho man was a bit "fearful of war" this time, he had nothing to say about his kindness and righteousness to his brothers.
"It's much easier than raising cows, horses, and pigs. Just put whatever you want into it and they'll eat it. It's really convenient."
County Magistrate Li made a calculation like this, thinking that his main expenditure on "military food" is to get a little feed from the mouths of animals.
It’s okay to just eat until you die. With this kind of treatment, he is the best in the world. Who can be as open-minded as him?
"I really represent advanced productivity. Without me, how could these hundreds of thousands of trash eat so well? There is no way. Protein, vitamins, fiber... I am really benevolent and righteous."
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Li himself was moved.
The difficulty of raising hundreds of thousands of wastes mainly depends on the difference in feed treatment. The nobles who do not work and watch the fun should eat better and eat meat. Regardless of mutton and chicken, they will always have it; the craftsmen and team leaders,
The food is not bad. Various soy products and pickled products will not cause lack of energy. Ordinary workers and laborers are eating well. The wild vegetables, green bran and bran are enough. In short, they are full. One meal in three days.
Specially made oil embryos, you may also add a pot of seaweed soup, which is delicious.
The worst fed are the slaves, but Jiangyin City has regulations that slaves are sustainable livestock and important property, so on the surface they are the worst fed, but in fact the food is stuffed with diced whale meat and has more oil and salt than ordinary workers.
There are a lot more and more warriors.
Therefore, as time goes by, you will find that the physical condition of the slaves is not particularly bad, but is actually a little better than the ordinary workers who work hard to make a living.
More importantly, under the rule of Wang Mingmao, as long as slaves work hard, it is not a problem to deregister.
"Sou Li, the Song army has reached the west of Surabaya and seems to be crossing the river."
"Don't be afraid. I'm not afraid of them crossing the river and continuing to build a stronghold and dig ditches."
"yes!"
"How many arrows can the crossbow factory produce per day now?"
"The iron dysprosium can produce 30,000 yuan a day, and they are all from Tan, and Fu is a helper. No other country can get close to the crossbow factory. The output of arrow shafts cannot keep up, and the Tan people are not yet able to skillfully control the rotation speed when cutting arrow shafts."
"Can you assemble five thousand arrows in one day?"
"able."
"Well, that's enough. Don't worry about anything else, just increase arrow production."
"yes!"
If the Song army wanted to cross the river, let them cross it. Anyway, if they were to attack halfway across the river, they would just shoot arrows. Is that a big deal with strong bows and crossbows?
The gadgets that County Magistrate Li has in stock the most are whale baleen, mulberry bark, hemp bark, fish bladders, horns... there are so many that he can't even use them all.
At first, these rags were intended to be sent as tribute to Gusu to make some money. In Jiangyin, the printing and dyeing technology was relatively developed, but the raw silk production was not good. The demand for the import of white silk was astonishingly large.
After all, County Magistrate Li is now engaged in processing supplied materials. Of course, he also grows his own mulberries, but this is just to prevent others from using Guan Zhong’s tricks.
It's just that we're going to fight now, and there's not much else under our control, except for the mob, and they're all fucking trash.
All the low-life countries also came to join in the fun, and their shameless looks made County Magistrate Li want to vomit. But there was no way, and we couldn't drive people away. This is how social logic works.
It's the same no matter what era.
Therefore, County Magistrate Li followed the trend and took the hundreds of thousands of horses into his hands, tossing and tossing them.
How much is the total flat land area in the Sishui Basin near Biyang and Peng countries? It's about eight million acres, just a lot more.
If we include Xue State, Teng State and the northeastern region of Song State, then 10 million acres must be exceeded.
There is no Weishan Lake these days!
The main reason why the degree of development is relatively low is that water conservancy facilities are underdeveloped, and a large number of people live in pursuit of water sources. It is not without reason.
But just like County Magistrate Li didn't understand why Mao actually has 350,000 people in Gusu, there are more than 100,000 people near the capital of Biyang Kingdom. The reason is very simple. Although the wasteland has hardened soil,
It's not that hard. As long as you sow a handful of seeds during the rainy season, you'll get a harvest.
On average, eighty kilograms of grain can be harvested from one acre of land, which can feed millions of people. At a discount of 10% or 20%, there are hundreds of thousands of people from various countries gathered in this area, which is more than enough.
It's just that the quality of the population is a bit low, and their enterprising spirit is not as good as that of Wu.
After much deliberation, the current Jiangnan region is still worse, forcing the state to wave the whip and whip the citizens to overcome obstacles and fight against the world. If nature is not transformed, the Wangji region of Wu State will be a waste.
County Magistrate Li is now thinking, if the two sides of Surabaya were given territory to him these days, it would be great. How could he support three to five million people? Wu Guo was driven into a state of retardation by him in a matter of minutes.
He was greedy, so Li Jie had to endure it, enduring hundreds of thousands of rubbish to rub off on his experience.
County Magistrate Li has been very targeted in wooing all walks of life among these hundreds of thousands of trash. He will paint a big cake for the slaves and throw bait. Declassification is just around the corner. Work hard. He will paint a super big cake for the civilians and wait until the fight is over.
In this battle, take your wages and go home to marry the girl you love; feed the samurai chicken soup for the soul, come and fuck the macho man with this bowl of chicken soup, you will be the society... you will be the righteous person.
The only people who don't need to draw big cakes and feed them chicken soup are the nobles.
All kinds of nobles, big, medium and small, approached Li Jie with the same attitude: Boss, please give me some "Chixia". Can you get twenty horses at a time? No? Only five horses per person? That's okay. I have four people here, come on.
Twenty horses.
Of course, there are also nobles of various sizes, big, medium and small, who are less vulgar and may be more elegant: Boss, bring me a jar of honey. I want it thicker, not water honey. If you have osmanthus honey, I want an extra jar. Thank you.
County Magistrate Li is also a kind person and solemnly promised to the princes and nobles from all over the world: free shipping in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
Then the Yue people laughed, and secretly came to force the people around Yang State to act cute, saying that Wu and Yue have always been friendly. For the sake of the fellow countrymen, why don't the macho go around and get two or three more cans?
Again, County Magistrate Li is a kind man. Five jars of honey for one beauty, I guarantee it is not water honey!
The Vietnamese got this accurate information and left the war zone without looking back.
They are not here to fight, they are here to buy and sell.
Nowadays, not much of Jiangyin's honey can be exported to Chu State. People in Yue State have channels to get honey and sell it.
Once you arrive in Chu State, you can trade a large amount of weapons, equipment and ships.
The closer the old monster Gou Chen was to dying, the more people in the Yue Kingdom were frightened, fearing that he would bite him before he died.
These days, it is not only the fellows in northern Jiangsu who are preparing for war across the country, but also the fellows in northern Zhejiang are also in mixed moods.
"With so many horses and antlers, is this really the powerful man from Wu who was so powerful last year?"
"A chain of camps and a fortified village are not afraid of fire attacks?"
"It looks like a wooden village, but in fact it is not. There is a lot of rammed earth and sand between the walls of the village. Every fifty steps there is a pool. Every ten steps there is a post, and the bowmen and crossbowmen are all covered and hiding. Although you cannot go up and take a look, this
The stronghold wall should be able to move a horse."
"The walls of the fortress are not straight at all and are criss-crossed with twists and turns. If the crossbowmen are placed high up, there will be multiple archers whenever there is an enemy."
"This macho man's ability to build walls...is really extraordinary."
It’s not like the Song Dynasty didn’t know that Li Jie was building fortifications, but they thought that even if they wanted to build them, where would they go quickly? How could hundreds of thousands of people be covered so easily?
As a result, the people of the Song Dynasty were now deceived. The gentleman of the Song Dynasty, Li Fei, came to the front line in person. When he inspected the other side of the river west of Surabaya, he saw the endless village walls, as well as the dots of towers, shooting towers, viewing angles, and military villages.
A mouthful of old blood was suffocating in my chest and I almost had a myocardial infarction.
"You just let Fu build the wall——"
Zi Lu Fei lost his composure again.
Dozens of large and small forces had aided Biyang Kingdom overtly and covertly before, which had already made him feel fear. If he lost this battle, he would be doomed. Who among these international hyenas would not bite them? Catch them.
How can it be possible if we don’t have the opportunity to make money?
Especially the one who was repudiated by the Song State last time. Last year, the Song State was so arrogant. I will step on you this year!
"Your Majesty! You can't blame them for this. In fact, no one expected that the macho man would do the opposite. Everyone in the world thought that the macho man would come to fight. As the saying goes, 'at one go', I am strong and the other is weak. If you can't
Take advantage of the courage to fight the Song Dynasty immediately. The war will last for a long time, which will be very detrimental to that country!"
Dai Ju, who was highly regarded in this battle, analyzed the current situation, "Therefore, if you cross the river first and destroy the Fu people's construction of the city, it will be a plot for others. If Fu people want to fight with our army, they must use all their tricks to lure our troops to destroy the city.
It’s also a strategy.”
After hearing Dai Ju's analysis, Zi Fei nodded slightly: "It seems that Li Jie must be timid at this moment."
"What your Majesty said is true. With Li Jie's old reputation, he could not fight quickly or dare to fight, which would have damaged the reputation of 'mighty'. In addition, people everywhere regard themselves as 'righteous men', and 'righteous men' cannot fight.
What's the point of not daring to fight? If things continue like this, the morale of the military there will definitely be very unstable!"
There is nothing wrong with Dai Ju's analysis, and it can even be said to be very reasonable.
In a normal battle between the two armies, if the other side uses Li Jie's cool tactics, hundreds of thousands of people will run away at least 80,000, and the rest will have to wait for two days to wait for the buffet before running away.
If there are any left, they are probably too acclimatized and sick to run away.
But now Zilu Fei also has to face a problem: "However, there are many forts and fortifications there, and the fortification walls are continuous. Just looking from a distance, I just feel that the fortification walls are extremely hard."
"Your Majesty, although the strong men have fortified the stronghold to prevent our army, there are also many constraints on the movement there. But there is a fight. Even if there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, our army will face only a few thousand cowardly people!"
The battlefield is only so wide, and hundreds of thousands of people cannot suddenly swarm like wild dogs. In a frontal fight, there are thousands of people on both sides. If the terrain is worse, there may only be a few hundred people with spears.
Stab each other.
In Dai Ju's view, the regular soldiers of the Song Dynasty were obviously much more powerful and well-trained. How could they be compared to this rabble?
After such an analysis, Zilu Fei was relieved a lot, but he was still a little serious: "This battle is of great importance, and I feel uneasy."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. In the past, the weather, time and place were not favorable for our army, so the barbarians became famous. Today, only the strong and brave can win the great army."
After saying these words, Zi Lufei finally relaxed a little and felt much better.
In the evening, when Zilu Fei hosted a banquet for the nobles of Dai and Xue, he still arrogantly laughed at the mob on the other side of the river: "In the old years, the savages became famous. Now, looking across the river, we can see that the savages are ignorant and can only build a stronghold."
"How can we defeat our army by fighting a stupid war?"
