The delivery of supplies and news from Tatecheng to Shulai is very fast because it goes straight down the river. As long as the boatman is not a picky boatman, he can usually reach his destination in half a day.
In addition to the water village itself, the newly built water village in Huaizhong City also has two gates and a dam extending along the north bank of the Huaishui River.
The reinforcement of earth and rock dams is not difficult. Even without metal tools, as long as the overall planning is proper, it can be completed relatively easily.
Li Jie used a more traditional method, which was to use a large amount of wicker and bamboo tendons to weave a huge long barrel-shaped cage.
These woven cages are filled with stones, and then rolled into the water along a certain slope of the river bank.
If piles are driven first within a certain distance from the river, then at least in the short term, this section of the river bank will not be a big problem.
As long as the system of Huaizhong City is not abandoned and piling is regularly reinforced every year, it can be managed for several years.
"Lord, there's a boat coming upriver."
"One of our own?"
"Six Kingdoms Detailed Work."
"Well, take it to my uncle."
"yes."
After receiving Li Jie's order, Ying Jian went to the Shuimen Gate first. Due to the strengthening of the water, a section of soil had been washed away in Dadi. Fortunately, it was discovered early and manpower had been organized to strengthen the surrounding river embankment.
The importance of the reed marsh is most vividly demonstrated at this time.
In the past, Ying Jian had wondered why Jiangyin City planted reeds outside the river embankment. The answer he was given at that time was to protect the embankment, but Ying Jian didn't take it seriously. Looking back now, he was still too young.
Gong Shuqin also received the notice and went to the No. 1 water gate gate in person as soon as possible. This attitude impressed Ying Jian very much.
The old rivers and lakes are the old rivers and lakes, Ying Jian admired secretly in his heart.
He cupped his hands, and my uncle saluted slightly. Ying Jian quickly returned the salute and said sincerely: "My uncle is polite, and the sword just arrived."
"Shu Zi please go first."
"As the eldest uncle, I invite you first."
After some slight negotiation, the two of them went together.
At this time, the scholars from the Six Nations who followed Gongshu Qin all lost their previous contempt.
The number of righteous soldiers and righteous followers inside and outside Huaizhong City was indeed small, between 20,000 and 30,000 horses, but these 20,000 and 30,000 horses were completely different from the 20,000 to 30,000 they imagined...
The ratio of combatants is too high!
Furthermore, Huaizhong City's work efficiency is extremely high, orders are conveyed extremely accurately and quickly, and even the amount of knowledge mastered by middle- and lower-level officers is only higher than that of scholars from the Six Nations.
This discovery surprised many scholars from the Six Nations.
Not only that, it is compulsory for the martyrs and part of the righteous troops to receive knowledge education.
It's just that the characters are different from those of other countries. Although it can be seen that they come from the same origin, where did this "Chinese character" come from? Scholars from the Six Nations have inquired several times, but they still have no idea.
It is precisely because of his "unpredictability" that the scholars of the Six Nations respected Li Jie even more profoundly.
If you can fight, it's not a big deal.
You can hit more people, but still you are not dead?
But having your own system is another matter. What's more, having your own system... is even more exaggerated.
"Shu Zi, why don't you lead me to the general to return my order?"
"good."
Li Jie is inspecting the river embankment. Before sending troops to fight, the most important thing in rear area construction is production safety. Only with safety can output be stable.
Without safety, he only had so many craftsmen on hand, but they all ended up being soaked in water and fed to the bastards. Isn’t that a loss of blood?
"Lord."
When Ying Jian and his uncle arrived in front of Li Jie, the guards immediately dispersed and stood in a very strange position, which made the scholars of the Six Kingdoms feel like they were surrounded from all sides.
"News from Tatecheng?"
"General, that's right."
I don't know what happened, but I asked my old uncle to meet Li Jie and address him as "General". At this moment, Mr. Gongshu Qin was extremely respectful. It was obviously a gesture of submission, and it was not a pretense, but a true surrender.
"How to say?"
"Liaocheng contacted Huang, Jiang and other places, and recruited young people from the Ying family to strengthen the city defense."
After that, Gong Shuqin handed the secret letter to Li Jie. After Li Jie took it, he gave it to Ying Jian without even looking at it.
"read."
Just such an action made Gongshu Qin's body tremble, and he thought to himself: I thought that Gongzi Ba Nai was a strong man's confidant, but now it seems that Shu Jian won't give in either.
How did my old uncle know that County Magistrate Li was just illiterate, so it was useless to show him.
However, this made Gongshu Qin think that Ying Jian had a transcendent status and was one of Li Jie's top confidants.
Gongshu Qin even compared it secretly and thought that Gongzi Ba might be better than Ying Jian. Otherwise, how could the army not take Gongzi Ba with them on this trip, but the "remnants" of Shulong Kingdom?
"Lord." Ying Jian unfolded the silk cloth and glanced at it, "Liaocheng seems to be planning to ambush our army."
"Then let them set up an ambush."
Li Jie smiled contemptuously, "I'll leave three to five thousand men here. I think Yun Zhenlu is capable of winning. These losers want to eat shit."
"My lord, with Yun Zhenlu's prestige in Yunmengze and the Dabie Mountains, I am afraid that I can recruit tens of thousands of barbarians. Except for a few people like the Ying family, most of them live in the Dabie Mountains. They are wild and untamable. Chu
For many years, our country has been unable to encircle and suppress all, but can only appease them."
"Isn't it enough that I chop down and burn all the Dabie Mountains and seal the passages so that no grain of rice or salt can flow into them?"
"..."
Ying Jian was extremely shocked by the boss's shameless words. Ying Jian always thought that the boss was very vicious. He was wrong. The boss was not evil. He was an old poisoner.
"Stop talking nonsense, how many cannon fodder can Yun Zhenluo be able to recruit? It's estimated to be too much."
"It's possible to have tens of thousands."
After saying that, Ying Jian turned to look at Gongshu Qin, "Old uncle, I don't know how many people the Yun family and the Yunzhen family can summon if they want to wipe out the Ying family and other barbarians?"
"As little as thirty thousand, as much as two hundred thousand."
Gong Shuqin didn't understand the conversation between Li Jie and Ying Jian before. The two spoke too fast, and the Wudi dialect was a bit weird. In addition, the vocabulary and grammar of the two were completely different from usual, which made it difficult to see.
Gong Shuqin, who was very knowledgeable, could only understand a few words, but when combined, he had no idea what the two of them were talking about.
After Gongshu Qin answered Ying Jian's question, he even speculated in his mind that Jiangyin Yi was only afraid of the way he spoke, and it was not just "birdsong". He even boldly further guessed that even if it was Gusu Wangji's
People may be able to understand what people in Jiangyin say, but they may not understand what they are saying.
It is very abnormal that a large number of new words appear in just a few sentences.
The birth of a vocabulary must be accompanied by the emergence of new things. The more new things there are, naturally there will be more new words.
This is a natural thing.
Gongshu Qin was even more confident at this moment that Jiangyin City must be a place that is changing with each passing day.
Seeing Ying Jian and Li Jie starting to talk again, he lowered his head and said nothing. The scholars from the Six Nations behind him looked confused, not knowing what Li Jie and the winner were talking about.
However, Gongshu Qin's old eyes were twinkling, and he suddenly had an idea. Before, he had thought about benefiting the six countries, and the six countries were indeed completely on the side of Wu.
But now, Gongshu Qin does not think that siding with Wu is completely correct. He wants to be more precise. After returning, he will go to Jianjun to further strengthen the connection with Jiangyin City, or more directly, with Li Jie
