Zhao Zhen led the people of Zhongtiao Mountain to build a stone fortress. The stone fortress was imitated in European style. The interior of the stone fortress is still very simple, but it is not bad.
At this time, Zhao Zhen, Di Lei, Zhao Xiaodao and a group of high-level generals were eating. In fact, what they ate was very simple considering their status. There were roasted fish, rabbit meat, wild boar meat cooked with potatoes, etc. Among them, there were also
There is a big bear paw.
Di Lei said with a smile: "This bear paw was from the last time we went into the mountains... I still remember the majestic appearance of a thousand-year-old. The gun pierced the brown bear's brain from the eye socket. It was really a magic gun! It was really tall and tall.
The general doesn’t have your highness’s magical skills either.”
Zhao Zhen smiled slightly and shook her head. This stone castle is divided into layers. On the outside, there is a circle of the tallest outer walls. And inside, the floors are higher and higher according to the mountain topography. For people of this era,
Generally speaking, the architecture of this kind of fortress feels very strange. It is the style of a Western European fortress and was designed by Zhao Zhen.
The main fort is mainly occupied by troops. On the edge of the main fort, there are several auxiliary forts. Some of them are also stationed for soldiers. Most of the rest are for ordinary people. The Prince of the Song Dynasty through the Special Forces 71
Tens of thousands of common people and more than 10,000 soldiers built it like this with stones and fired bricks in just one month. It has to be said that the working people of ancient times were great. Originally, Zhao Zhen thought that the construction of the Great Wall would be difficult. Look.
Seeing how these people built such a fortress very quickly, inspired by their own lever tools and brick-firing technology, Zhao Zhen felt that it was "forced" to "force" those simple and hard-working people to build such a fortress.
The Great Wall is also possible.
The inner wall of the castle is still covered with thick rammed earth. It is several meters thick and not beautiful, but it is practical. No matter how hard you try from the outside, you cannot knock down the wall.
This castle will have a name in the future, called Bluestone Castle. Because this castle is made of the surrounding bluestone and blue bricks. In order to prevent the Jin army from cutting off their water sources when they attack in the future, all the buildings along the Bluestone Castle
It's still going on. Especially the control of Shanxia Spring, where Zhao Zhen has already built a new castle.
Now, Zhao Zhen wants to build his new territory bit by bit, but he can't eat a fat man in one bite, so he can only build it bit by bit. Fortunately, this is a change and speed that can be seen. Zhao Zhen calculated it, and he
Here, he can contain at least 30,000 or even 50,000 Jin troops. At that time, he will not have to worry about Li Yanxian of Shaanzhou City, who fought with him, committing suicide by jumping into the river because of the defeat and the city was broken, just like in history.
But Zhao Zhen was still dissatisfied with his blindly conservative development. He felt that it was time to raise the butcher's knife against the surrounding Jin army.
The current guards' left and right armies are all full, so he must take the initiative to launch an attack. He must use Zhongtiao Mountain as a stronghold to quickly expand the territory and attack the Jin army. This will provide time for the development of King Xin's base area, unite friendly forces, and contain
The effective strength of the Jin Army.
While eating, Zhao Zhen was thinking about the problem. The soldiers and Zhao Zhen had just finished eating. At this moment, the bell in the castle rang. Zhao Zhen listened, and it was a "clang, clang, clang" sound. Zhao Zhen
He immediately stood up and said: "A guest is here. You two go and continue practicing the army's battle formations to make the soldiers more familiar with each other, so as not to make mistakes during the battle and lose their lives. I will go see the visitor."
"
The bell that Zhao Zhen built in the castle was a big bell. The bell was on the top of the tower. The observing soldiers could see everything from above. When they found someone coming, they would ring the bell. If it was an enemy attack, they would beat the war drum.
The visitor was also surprised. They were a team of knights dressed in black. The team was somewhat dusty, and the leader of the messenger had a long beard on his chin. Under his crotch was a tall horse.
Horses, and they didn’t come on one horse, they all came with two horses.
The gate of the fortress opened, and under the leadership of several guards, the messenger led the group of people into the castle, and the horses in their hands were also taken away.
These people who came looked around all the way, and their hearts were also unclear. They had been to Zhongtiao Mountain before, but why did a stone city suddenly appear on this beautiful mountain? You know, at that time,
Such a building cannot be built at once. Besides, if it is not a dangerous fortress, it is impossible to have such an arrangement.
In other words, such a building should generally be under the control of the Zhao Gou court, even if it was built by the subordinates of King Xin Zhao Zhen. But because it borders the area occupied by the Song army, once it is known to the superiors,
It may be confiscated by Zhao Gou's small court or troops may be deployed.
In fact, Zhao Zhen understood this. He just wanted to make a time lag. Once he sent out troops to capture the gold and pacified the surrounding areas, the stone fortress would truly belong to him. At that time, if Zhao Gou wanted it, he would have to send out troops.
But when it comes to sending troops, I'm afraid Zhao Gou will soon be chased like a duck by the Jin army. Soon Zhao Gou will be unable to protect himself, and he won't even care about Zhao Zhen's army building a fortress in Zhongtiao Mountain.
The bearded Zhao Zhen walked up to the messenger. Before the messenger could speak, Zhao Zhen said: "If you look again, your eyes may not be taken away, and your tongue may be left behind. Think about it."
Say something to save your eyes and tongue."
Zhao Zhen was not afraid of others seeing it. Zhao Gou's court sent an envoy because the Gao Pang he pretended to be in the report belonged to Li Yanxian's army. Although Li Yanxian still supported Zhao Gou's court in his heart, the tacit understanding with Wang Xin's army had been kept secret.
This was also the premise for the two militaries to discuss cooperation in secret.
The messenger smiled. It was not a smile of fear, but a smile of self-deprecation. Then, he opened his mouth to Zhao Zhen.
After just a moment, the man stopped talking, and Zhao Zhen could see clearly that he was a man without a tongue. When he looked at the knights behind him, they all opened their mouths, and they were all obviously mute.
"What are you doing here without a tongue?" Following Zhao Zhen's words, the man pulled out a piece of silk with writing on it from the inside of his belly.
Zhao Zhen opened the letter suspiciously, and there was a text message on it. "Jiezhou was defeated, Shao Yun led his troops to retreat to Shaanzhou City, brother Gao, please don't read it. The envoy is a person who had his tongue cut off by the Jin army, and has a deep hatred with the Jin army.
, and they are all safe people. They will not reveal the secrets of your army, so please rest assured. Jiezhou was captured by the Jin army, and tens of thousands of Jin soldiers are coming to kill, so please be careful. Shao Yunshang." Special Forces Crossing
Prince of Song Dynasty 71
The person who sent the letter was Shao Yun. This letter was sent by a group of mutes who had their tongues cut off by the Jin Army. It is estimated that this group of mutes were rescued by Shao Yun. What is even more unexpected is the marching speed of the Jin Army.
So fast, does the other party have food and grass again? This news is really not good news.
Zhao Zhen also knew very well that after a while, the Jin Army Commander Wan Yanlou's room would send troops to attack Shaanzhou City. A battle took place for seven days and seven nights.
War requires money, food, and iron. The army needs to change its equipment. Broken weapons need to be repaired and replenished. Broken equipment needs to be repaired and replenished. And the most important food and grass. Due to Zhao Zhen's destruction and interception of food and grass, Wanyan
The Jin army in Loushi was most short of food. Therefore, this time the Jin army attacked Xia Anyi, Ruicheng, and Xiezhou, but did not attack Zhongtiao Mountain and Shaanzhou City for the time being.
However, the Jin army must be preparing food and grass. Once the food and grass are prepared, they will definitely send troops to attack Shaanzhou City in winter. As the gateway to Shaanzhou City, Zhongtiao Mountain will bear the brunt.
After reading the letter, the mute envoys were about to leave. Zhao Zhen prepared some money and food for the mutes whose tongues had been cut out. The mutes wanted the food, but they were determined not to want the money. These mutes could not write.
, but those who were gesticulating also let people who believed in Wang Yijun see what they meant.
The mutes asked them to keep their money for those who killed the golden dog. They wanted food, but they could not ask for food or grass. In other words, although these mutes had poor life experiences, they were not greedy for money, and they hated the golden army.
After the mute envoy left, Zhao Zhen's scouts also sent back a message. The Jin army's commander-in-chief, Wanyan Loushi, sent Jin general Ulu to withdraw and was stationed in the north of Zhongtiao Mountain. There were not many troops to withdraw from Jin general Ulu.
There were about ten thousand people. Zhao Zhen obviously had other ideas about this Jin army and wanted to defeat them in one fell swoop.
At this time, Di Lei came. "Your Highness, some local people want to see you, a high general."
At the gate of Qingshi Castle, thousands of people crowded together. These people were all young people, most of them were young and energetic. They looked at the newly built castle with envy. Moreover, there was a mountain spring connected under the castle.
On the outside, there are fences made of wood. On one side of the spring, there are several wooden towers.
The common people all know that in the near future, these wood will become brick walls. Then, in the future, a city will be built with this fortress as the center. And it will be a strong city surrounded by mountains and rivers that will not be attacked by the enemy.
A strong and dangerous mountain fortress that cuts off the water source.
They have already seen that a gray stone castle has been erected high. How could it happen so fast? They don't know. In fact, it is very simple. When there are convenient tools and excellent materials, with the cooperation of tens of thousands of people,
, they will do a lot.
The Great Wall has no levers or pulleys. But the Great Wall, which is thousands of miles long, was built by the Chinese who only had a population of 20 million at that time.
During the Warring States Period, the Qin people had a population of five million, but they actually raised one million soldiers! It is incredible! But it is also a fact. During the Warring States Period, how could people have so much food to stably maintain this number of troops?
At that time, the Qin people used the most stringent laws to make their civilians concentrate on producing food. This method of turning people into machines greatly maintained food production at a high level.
Nowadays, the people in Zhongtiao Mountain only work to watch the sky, farm, and hunt. After all this is done, to a large extent, they have nothing to do. At this time, the people gathered by Zhao Zhen's men
But they are doing things.
A big stone fort was built into an auxiliary fort for his people and soldiers to live in. Now, build a wall for these people to ensure the safety of their own property and resist the invasion of the golden soldiers. Who would not be happy to build a city wall to protect their homes?
Now, I hope to build the wall. By then, it will be a steep mountain city that can resist the Jin army.
However, the people around them still live in mud houses with rammed earth. Once the Jin army comes, they will be invaded by the Jin army! They will be burned, killed and looted! Comparing feelings, who doesn’t want to live well and live well? With their families
Peaceful?
The Jin army invaded and the Song army was completely defeated. However, the Jin army was repeatedly defeated by the rebels and the people. Why? Is it that the people of the Song Dynasty were all Lianjiazi? Is it that the people of the Song Dynasty were all warriors who were fearless and not afraid of death? That is impossible! Everyone
It's impossible for everyone to have practiced martial arts, and it's impossible for everyone to be afraid of death! Who doesn't want to live!
But the Jin army invaded. The reason why the people were stronger than the Song army was because the people and their families wanted to live and survive! This is the simplest question. At this time, the Song people had not had their spines broken. Wait until the Jin army later
The country invaded and occupied the north, but the Zhao family was unable to make the northern expedition, which led to the loss of popular support. After the Mongols invaded the south, the Han people lost their backbone. The vanguard and most powerful army of the Mongolian army were not Mongols and other ethnic groups, but the Han people!
The people are afraid of death, but the people have backbone, but this backbone has been destroyed by the Zhao family's spineless people. Just because you don't do something, or you haven't done it, or you can't do it, doesn't mean you can't do it.
You have to take the lead in everything. What Zhao Zhen is doing now is to let everyone stand upright. Defending against the golden soldiers is a must. How to defend against them? Defend yourself! Training troops, collecting food, and building fortresses. This requires many people to work together.
, some grow grain and breed, and make food. Some build, cut down trees, collect stones, and burn paper and bricks. Workers must be divided to make the best use of them.
Without a leader, there is no action. Therefore, even though they are clearly watching, the people in Zhongtiao Mountain and surrounding areas can only watch like this. Now they can't just watch, because the golden soldiers are coming. After the special forces crossed over
Prince of Song Dynasty 71
Without a qualified leader, many things cannot be done. For one thing, there must be a leader. Moreover, it must be a capable leader. If it is an incompetent leader, such as Zhao Gou.
Then all the advantages and capital will be destroyed by oneself first.
Several leading people whispered, counting the clothes of the cavalry troops and people who were said to be Li Yanxian's men. Indeed, under Zhao Zhen's initiative, many people in the areas occupied by King Xin were dressed very strangely, and their clothes were all used.
When it is buttoned, it is made of cloth rolled into strips to fasten it. The skirt is short and the skirt is small. In this way, the clothes will omit the folding part and save a lot of material. There are no big fat cuffs, which is simple and simple.
fit.
The clothes have shoulder pads, and people's bodies are shaped into a beautiful inverted triangle. Here comes Zhao Xiaodao. He wears leather armor on the inside, a breastplate on the outside, a sword on the back of the waist, and a saber on the waist.
On Zhao Xiaodao's face, there was a bronze ghost mask and a smooth round helmet on his head.
As scary as this looks, this is the military style created by Zhao Zhen, all wearing masks. Since a large amount of iron is used, the masks do not use iron, but are made of wood. Of course.
, the masks of Zhao Xiaodao and Zhao Zhen are both made of steel.
Seeing such an army shape, if it weren't for the Song Dynasty's army, the people would definitely run away. Seeing such a terrifying knight, the people were naturally a little scared.
Zhao Xiaodao looked at a group of people who looked a little scared, and shouted: "Folks, don't be afraid. You send a representative. With so many people, we can't all enter the village and the castle. Your Excellency has agreed to meet one of you."
The reason why Zhao Zhen reduced the number of people was because he was afraid that there were spies from the Jin soldiers in this group of people. After all, he had to guard against spies from the Jin soldiers. The fewer people, the better. But these people come from all over the country, where can they come from?
There are many people. If you want to recommend someone, it must be the most famous one.
Several leaders of the common people looked left and right, and one of them said: "Brother Yuxuan, you can read and write, so you should go." The man named Yuxuan was a sturdy middle-aged man. Although he was strong, he was
But he was a scholar who was a scholar. This man had a great reputation. He once served as a county magistrate, and he was considered the most famous man in the surrounding area.
Yuxuan's real name was Liu. When he saw that everyone was recommending him, Liu Yuxuan nodded, took a step forward and held his hand to Zhao Xiaodao who was sitting on the horse.
Zhao Xiaodao didn't say much, and led the way with his horse. Li Yuxuan followed him into the outer stockade. The fortress was built on the top of the mountain, and the stockade included the entire mountain and the springs.
Li Yuxuan is also a knowledgeable person, but when he came in, he was also surprised by the scene around the village. When he entered the village, there were also separate roads, and the turf and fields had to be separated. Otherwise, the cattle, horses and sheep raised in the livestock industry might
Run into the fields and cause chaos. Here, all the donkeys and horses riding must be equipped with pocket cloths. In this way, the horse and donkey excrement can be blocked. And those pocket stalls are full and can accumulate in the fields.
Manure top dressing.
The Bluestone Fort is located at the bottom of the mountain, which is a natural military field formed by the valley. Tens of thousands of sergeants were shouting and practicing military formations at that time. But the shouts of tens of thousands of horses were heart-stopping, and the uniform roars made the ground shake.
It started to vibrate. Li Yuxuan was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost sat down on the ground.
Immediately, Li Yuxuan felt very happy. With the protection of such a terrifying army, the people would naturally be safe, and the Jin army would naturally be unable to break through the walled city.
Zhao Xiaodao jumped off the horse and said: "We're here..." Looking behind him, the scholar named Li Yuxuan was already impressed by the bluestone castle.
Although from a modern point of view, Qingbao is not very tall, people from the Song Dynasty who had never seen such a fortress were stunned.
The European-style fortress building has a tall tower. The entire fortress is made of blue bricks and stones, and is built up piece by piece with Sanhe soil invented by Zhao Zhen. Moreover, this stone fort has no carved patterns. Even so,
, this stone fortress also surprised Li Yuxuan for a long time. He had also been to Tokyo and seen the five-foot-high city wall, but he had never seen such a tall fortress.
Generally, military villages will have high towers and watchtowers, but they will not be as tall and solid as those designed by Zhao Zhen. It seems that they are in a fantasy world, everything is different from the buildings of the Song Dynasty. Li Yuxuan, who has become silly, looks left and right
Look, it looked like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden. Li Yuxuan followed Zhao Xiaodao to the hall like a puppet. At this time, Zhao Zhen was sitting on a seat in the center.
