52. Edo Castle is in danger

(I roughly calculated that I removed the dam that was ten meters high and built a soil platform about twenty meters high and thirty square meters on the top, and required 50,000 to 60,000 cubic meters of soil.

Calculate based on the level of 0.333 square meters per person can handle every day, plus some construction work, it takes approximately 160,000 to 180,000 manual labor to complete the construction.

There are 25,000 civilians, and they will work for six to eight days! My estimate is too small.)

"Pingliu! Do you know what I told you about? "

"Of course, it's about building a soil platform on the Pingchuan embankment!"

It’s so refreshing to talk to smart people who are good at doing business. Without mentioning it, they already understand it.

"Leave it to you, can you do it?"

"Try your best! I will be disappointed if I don't teach you!" Heiroku knew that this was an excellent opportunity to perform in front of Kanto generals and Taro Yamauchi.

You should know that Koheita was given the green eyes of Uesugi Kenshin because of his remarks that "a thousand gold is not easy to be loyal and brave soldiers" under Odawara Castle, and the use of a lot of money to fill the Odawara moat and build a siege platform.

In Kanto Yashu, who doesn’t know how famous Fujiwara Masashi’s reputation is? That’s a proven life with Odawara Castle, known as the “No. 1 strong city in the world”!

If Heiro can do what he is doing in Edo Castle and become famous, the right enemy of the river will no longer have to live under the glory of Fujiwara Masashi.

Xiaopingta is focused on cultivating these samurai soldiers who come from his own schools, and hopes that more talents will serve Yamauchi's family. Even if Xiaopingta is the best official in the world, how many nails can he make?

Sooner or later I will be exhausted!

"More than 20,000 civilians are not a small number. They are speechless, lack of tools, and even straw bags and wooden boards have a big gap. You must be mentally prepared!"

"It's all for your Highness to share your worries!"

"Okay! Do it boldly! Hibingwei will also help you, and he is Cai Nu's son-in-law."

Since there is already a very perfect base, it is much more difficult to cover it up. The most troublesome thing about the entire project is to extract soil and transport it to the dam of the flat river.

Ping Liu knew that it would be meaningless to reason with more than 20,000 people from more than a dozen different countries, and with seven or eight accents and illiterate people, who were illiterate in the sense of reasoning.

So he didn't say anything nonsense, so he told the various samurai families who came with the civilians. The three or nine levels were set, with two hundred people as a team, and the most land was transported to the Pingchuan side, and rewarded fifty stones of white rice!

The second and third teams are much shorter than that, only twenty stones and ten stones, and there will be nothing in the future, and it will be useless to work!

A large pile of rice was on the shore. Ping Liu, who was standing on the embankment, pointed at him. If you want it, just use your ability to get the soil and exchange it for it!

So the local terrace where Yamauchi's team is located is filled with people who dig soil from all directions. The good terrace was dug into a piece of honeycomb coal, and the entire terrace was covered with people who dig up dredging around.

They were working hard, Xiaoping too could not watch, and had to deal with other matters.

First of all, the surveillance and defense of the National Taiwan government. It was originally the most reassuring to let Akiro Kanei go, but now that the construction of the Heikawa border is built, a safe general needs to lead troops to block the passage of Edo Castle from the city, and this person cannot leave.

After thinking about it, Aji took a thousand men to the Guofutai as a front-line force to monitor the people of the Hojo clan in the south. Anyway, the Guofutai is not too far away. If you are in danger, you can resist with the terrain. Koheita's army comes one after another to ensure that they have no return.

Aji was also an "old minister". After more than ten years, although he did not have too outstanding talents, his advantage lies in his loyalty and obeying orders. Those who can do these two things will be considered as a general in the feudal era!

Xiaopingta asked him to defend the National Palace Station, and he would do his best to complete this task!

His banner general was Yamauchi Yoshikazushi, and Kiso Fukushima was promoted to fight for the sake of savior. Yamauchi was very grateful to him and could be relieved to do things.

As for whether Odawara Castle will continue to strengthen the garrison of Izu Sagami's country after hearing the news about Edo Castle, or to send troops to rescue Minami Musashi, this also needs to be arranged in advance.

After discussing with Hosokawa Kazuno, I still felt that I should enter Koji Castle (I am Koji Castle, the Koji who is the Class A war criminal.), and went forward to the border between Musashi and Sagami, setting up defenses at the border to prevent Hojo's attack.

The Hojo Tiger was unable to die. The Fujita Nobuna ran back and gathered the other people, and 20,000 people could still be brought out. Such a number of troops had to be guarded against.

The journey was also very important. Everyone discussed it. Konishihara Saemon led more than 3,000 people to Xiaojicheng. If you can fight, you will fight. If you can’t fight, you will leave immediately. The coalition forces are numerous and the morale is strong. You are not afraid of them. As long as you know the news in advance and set up your formation, can you still be afraid of Hojo?

……………………

The Oishi family in Edo Castle was originally trying to hold on to Edo Castle, and they would retreat when the coalition rations were exhausted, and even chased after the end. It was unexpected that the Yamauchi family supported the new Musashi to guard the Uesugi family of the Okaya. After all, this kind of "benevolence" that continued to rise and fall is rare these days.

Needless to say, the steadfast anti-Hojo element has always been proud of being from the famous Uesugi clan in the world. I can kill me, but I can't surrender.

This guy is now the back of the Uesugi clan of the Oguri family, and there are dozens of loyal old servants. The huge Kita Musashi was originally the old leader of the Oguri family. He fought with the Hojo clan more than ten years ago. If Kagoyo hadn't died in the battle between Uesugi Asuchi, he might have firmly resisted the Hojo clan's attack.

The Yamauchi family may not be able to establish a stable rule in Kita Musashi, so Mr. Uesugi Shizuki is still somewhat likely. Kita Musashi's local snake will always sell his father for a little bit of face. It is better to follow him than to work for Hojo.

The Oishi Nakamoto, who was about to defend Edo first and then launch another army to erode Kita Musashi next year, was dragged out of the residence!

The coalition forces are increasing the Pingchuan embankment!

What did the coalition forces build dams? It was absolutely impossible to be kind-hearted and build water conservancy for the people of Edo.

After observing for a while, Oshishi Shizhao suddenly realized that the coalition forces had cannons! And more than one!

In his consciousness, the cannons cannot be fired in a curve, and the mortar cannons and other things have not yet been introduced to the East Kingdom. Since Edo Castle is on the platform, it is foolproof. No matter how many cannons you have, you can't turn around!

But now the coalition forces built a dirt platform with the dam as the base and carried the cannons onto the dirt platform, and then shot them directly into the city without any obstacles!

Oishi Shizawa's body shook. If he hadn't held the wooden fence in front of him, he might have certainly turned over.

There is no need to talk nonsense about the power of the cannon. At this distance, as long as the coalition's cannons keep firing into the city, the morale that was not too high in Edo Castle will definitely collapse completely in a few days.

Once morale collapses, what else can you talk about sticking to the city?

"Edo is over! Edo is over! God will not bless me Hojo!" After saying that, Oshishi Naruto could no longer hold on and fainted.

Everyone rushed forward and looked at the photos of Dashi again. A trace of blood was overflowing from the corners of his mouth!
