"Your Highness, after Donglu built dozens of mounds, he fired very few cannons. The general is deeply afraid that he will use this as a cover to dig holes into the city!"
As long as Zhou Yuji was not sleeping, he would personally go to the city to inspect the situation on the north and west sides of the inner city. The outer city was completely left to Zhang Yilong.
After observing many times, the premonition that Donglu would use the underground cave to sneak attack the king's army and then break the city became stronger, so Jin hurriedly came to the rear residence to see him.
"If the Donglu attacked through the cave, I think it is very possible. From the current point of view, since there are rivers between Deshengmen and Xizhimen, as well as Jishuitan and Cao Canal, it will be very difficult for them to attack from here." Maybe the ground was flooded before the tunnel was dug. But the east of Deshengmen and the south of Xizhimen are more dangerous areas. If the Donglu really wanted to attack the city from underground, Master Wang would naturally not be able to Sit back and wait for death. In addition to continuing to monitor with water tanks, if you want to ensure that the old city is not lost, I believe that active defense measures must be taken, that is, digging deep trenches! The moat is less than two feet deep, and if the Donglu wanted to break through the tunnel, they would have to The depth of the excavation must be more than three feet. You can send strong men to dig a trench four feet deep along the city wall, so as to block the passage of Donglu's tunnel. If Donglu's tunnel is dug through the trench and appears within the trench, Master Wang will The soldiers can wait for work and serve them with oil and grenades!"
Aren’t you free enough to dig holes in the ground to play?
It just so happens that I have nothing to do, so let's dig together in and outside the city!
If you dare to use these damaging moves to trick me, I will use your damaging moves to trick you to death and see who can survive to the end!
There are so many strong men in the city. If Braids don't come to attack the city, they will have to be raised in vain. In this case, let's all exercise together!
"Your Highness is wise! I will arrange the manpower to start digging now!"
After determining the countermeasures with the prince, Zhou Yuji felt that time was running out and he must immediately convey this edict and start large-scale construction.
"That's right! Bury the water tank at the bottom of the trench and send people to monitor it around the clock. If Donglu is digging very close, you will definitely be able to hear clues!"
"I will obey the order!"
Four feet is about twelve meters deep, which is equivalent to the height of the city wall. In such a short period of time, construction is naturally very difficult, and a certain prince does not know how long it will take to dig it.
But it is more or less effective. It is best to attack without using underground holes. If you really plan to go underground, you must take precautions on your side.
At present, only the mounds of braided soil have been found in the areas north and west of the inner city, and similar situations have not yet occurred in other places.
If you start digging from all directions, the number of defenders will be limited after all. Under the attack of the all-pervasive braids, they will of course be impossible to defend against.
If you start digging several miles away, not only will the amount of work be huge and it will take a lot of time, but if the direction is not correct, it will easily go astray.
It is estimated that in order to concentrate his forces and achieve a breakthrough and collapse the entire Ming army, Huang Taiji must focus on being able to break through the old city as soon as possible.
The west and north gates are excellent locations. As long as they can break the city from here, the Qing army will march straight in and quickly approach the imperial city where they are.
"What? The dog Tatar wants to dig a hole in the ground?"
"Yes! Master Wang is organizing the young men to dig trenches! I heard that doing this can activate the immortal energy in the body!"
"Are you serious about this? How can you do this? Go and sign up now!"
"Go together! Go together!"
In the absence of excavators, large-scale construction projects, including digging trenches, had to be solved entirely by manpower. However, after a certain prince friendly reminded the people about the method of activating the fairy energy, everyone's enthusiasm for labor was quickly mobilized.
Firstly, you can contribute to the country, secondly, you can make money, and thirdly, you can activate the immortal energy in your body. This is the most important thing.
I heard that Bo Jue, an academician of the Academy of Sciences, was so full of fairy spirit that he learned to ride a bicycle in just a quarter of an hour.
Judging from this, without the support of immortal energy, he would never have learned to ride a bicycle in such a short period of time.
It was a thing with only two wheels, and they were connected in series, not in parallel like a carriage.
Just by mastering balance, he can defeat a group of strong men, let alone ride faster than he can run.
The fact that Bo Jue quickly learned to ride a bicycle had actually spread in the Academy of Sciences.
This is indeed true, and it is said that the prince said at that time that Bo Jue was full of immortal energy.
After hearing this, everyone in the courtyard thought that the prince was joking. Looking at it from this point of view, it was all true!
No wonder I am not as smart as Bo Jue and can take the prince's edict as a joke. Who can blame me?
"So many?"
"this……"
A few wealthy gentry who were not short of money walked to the registration office and saw a huge crowd of people, which was exactly the same as the previous queues for vaccination.
The purpose of vaccination is to survive the catastrophe. Only after success can you obtain immortal energy. If you fail, you will have to kick your legs to finish the game. If you can directly activate the immortal energy, wouldn't it be equivalent to getting a death-free gold medal?
Not to mention the wealthy gentry, even the poor people also think this way. Everyone actively signs up to dig trenches in order to obtain the immortal energy as quickly as possible.
Can digging a trench for your own house activate your fairy energy?
Of course not!
The reason is very simple. The immortal energy is the energy that the prince brings from the fairy world, and activation requires the prince's approval.
And digging trenches is an act of protecting the homeland and accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. Only in this way can it be proved by heaven and earth!
Only in this way can the prince report his good deeds to Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor in the immortal world.
After His Majesty Long Yan, Emperor Taizu Gao, was delighted, he would inject immortal energy into the bodies of mortals.
You dig a ditch for your house, and Zhu Yuanzhang injects immortal energy into you?
There is absolutely no reason for this!
After being explained in this way, those who were still confused about trench digging suddenly understood.
Only by working hard for Lao Zhu's family can Zhu Yuanzhang grant himself immortality.
If you were to work for someone else, you would only get a salary.
The prince is kind-hearted and will not let everyone work in vain. The wages will still be paid, at least they can fill their stomachs.
After it was widely advertised, people, regardless of high or low, enthusiastically signed up. From ladies over fifty to children who had just learned to curse, all had to contribute their own efforts.
Of course, officials and government servants are not blind. At present, they will only recruit men of suitable age and healthy women aged 20 to 40. They are the main force digging trenches.
The recruitment conditions for men can be relaxed to those between fifteen and fifty-five years old. As long as they can pick up a twenty kilogram iron block with one hand, they can dig a hole even if they walk with a limp.
It's just that you have to bring your own tools, because the government really can't afford to provide more than 100,000 people with shovels for work, and all the shovels that were made before have been sent to Zhongcheng to dig trenches.
This is easy to do. Every household has at least one or two shovels and pickaxes. Households with large yards even have hoes and sickles, because they can plant vegetables and cut grass in their own yards.
"Yeah! Okay! Just let Aiqing figure it out!"
After hearing Zhou Yuji's report over the phone, a certain prince was also a little stunned. After the announcement appeared, more than 200,000 laborers were recruited in a short period of time.
Some people even turned around and signed up as soon as they were vaccinated. Even wealthy families felt that as long as they could survive the disaster safely, working hard for a few days was not a big deal.
Nothing matters right now, only life matters!
In order to save their lives, everyone feels that they must obtain immortal energy as soon as possible.
As a result, instead of being despised by wealthy people, the labor of digging trenches has become a sacred project that everyone is busy working on.
The richer the family, the more people come to work. Except for the old and young people who look after the home, almost all those who pass the examination, even the ladies from rich families, are digging ditches in the streets.
Many wealthy gentry were digging ditches with their servants in tow. The more people involved in digging ditches, the more virtue they accumulated. And you can’t just stand and direct, you have to do it yourself.
It is said that each person must dig five thousand kilograms of soil in order to obtain immortal energy. According to the calculation of one spade and two kilograms, two thousand spades must be dug.
As for the origin of Five Thousand Jin, no one knows.
But others really dug up five thousand kilograms of soil, but you didn't dig enough.
When the immortal energy is no longer yours, won’t you cry to death?
"Remember it clearly for me!"
"yes!"
Rich gentry with quick brains have a book boy around them, just to keep track of things for themselves, so as not to forget after digging, which would be miserable.
Dare to fool Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang?
Aren't you afraid that you will be skinned and cramped when you get down there? ? ?
No one has the courage. Emperor Taizu Gao's "hobby" is very famous!
"Ouch~!"
After just digging for a while, the fat rich gentleman was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to complain about being tired.
Because you are working for His Majesty Taizu Gao Emperor, if you complain about being tired, doesn't it mean that His Majesty Taizu Gao Emperor has given Yu Min a gift?
"Master, would you like me to do it for you for a while?"
"Don't be like this! How much have I dug?"
"Sir, I dug a total of eighty-seven shovels!"
"Ah? So few? Some people have dug a hundred shovels, but I have to be faster!"
At this time, it's all about you chasing me. Not only do you have to dig enough numbers, but you also have to dig faster than others, especially people of the same level.
It is said that if you dig enough numbers, you can register with the Crown Prince first, and your name will be seen by His Majesty Taizu Gao first.
If you are slow, your name will be left behind, and it will be hard to say what you will get.
In order to get the immortal energy, you have to dig enough numbers even if you risk half your life!
It stands to reason that two thousand five hundred spades, five hundred spades per day, in five days would be enough to complete.
But not to mention the poor people who mainly work manual labor, even the rich families have young and strong people.
Compared with the obese guys, these people dug very quickly and wanted to get the immortal energy first, but they made the fat guys very angry.
The fat guys couldn't stop each other, so they silently cursed the quick-footed guy in their hearts, it would be better if they got out of the way...
"Hiss... incredible!"
Chen Guowei looked at the scenery of the city in his turret and couldn't help but sigh. Looking at the busy construction scene, it seemed that the progress was faster than that of the army!
Who would have thought that two to three hundred thousand people could dig ditches together? I'm afraid Huang Taiji wouldn't believe it if he heard about it, right?
The main reason is that this project does not require construction quality, and the threshold is extremely low. You just need to dig down as hard as you can.
If they really succeeded, even if the Donglu captured the city, they would not be able to enter the city smoothly.
What Dog Tartar faced was a trench about four feet deep and two feet wide!
As long as the narrow passage is blocked with vehicles, there will be no way to get through without enough ladders.
If you are not careful with your feet, you will fall into the trench. Even if you don't die, your bones will be broken.
"Brother Imperial, I also want to obtain immortal energy as soon as possible!"
After hearing the news, Xiao Feizhai was very excited and hurriedly ran to ask his brother for instructions.
"You have already obtained the immortal energy, there is no need to do anything more!"
The demonstration effect of the prince digging trenches himself must be very good, but there will be many people accompanying him, so it is impossible to mobilize the troops.
"Ah? Is what the emperor said true?"
The little fat house didn't know that he already had immortal energy. He looked at his white and tender little hands with a look of disbelief.
"Fairy energy has many effects. For you, your appetite will be particularly good in the future!"
With the help of fairy energy, the little fat house will thrive into a big fat house.
"..."
Xiao Feizhai didn't understand that this was a serious effect, but since he had immortal energy, he had successfully survived the catastrophe.
If Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty had been so deceptive back then, there would have been no need to waste time and money in building the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
A certain prince also wanted to dig a canal directly to the Monan mining area, but the difficulty was that there seemed to be no water!
There are many rivers in Beizhili, especially near the capital.
But after leaving the customs, rivers will be extremely rare, and many rivers will not intersect with other rivers.
During the dry season, the river can only be used for rafting, and it does not play a role in transporting ore at all.
Looking at it this way, we can only implement the strategy of building railways, and neither left nor right can use horse-drawn carriages or ox-carts to transport ore.
As for Huang Taiji and his braided army outside the city, a certain prince could not send his royal troops out of the city, so he simply let them have their way.
Even if you really bring an army of 300,000 people, what will happen if you can't enter the city?
I have more than 300,000 men under my command, and they are all digging ditches now!
You dig a hole, and I'll dig a trench!
Let's have a labor competition and dig together!
A certain prince was now looking forward to the braided soldier finally getting out of the cave, but suddenly found that the exit was actually a trench that he couldn't climb up!
The scene was so touching and definitely worth taking a photo for as a souvenir!
Not to mention Huang Taiji, even if Sima Yi leads his troops to kill you, you won't be able to break the city for a while!
The capital is so big that it is impossible to fill it with water.
If you attack by force, you won't be able to bear the casualties of the Eight Banners soldiers.
If the defenders in the city do not surrender voluntarily, the only option is to dig a hole in the ground.
What a certain prince asked Zhou Yuji to do was to block this last road with pigtails!
The only thing they have to worry about is that Braid digs a burrow faster than his own trenches. Before the trench can be dug to a certain depth, Braid's burrow has already entered the city.
A certain prince estimated that it would take three days at the earliest, that is, the evening of the day after tomorrow at the earliest, for Braid to appear in the city through the ditch.
If from other directions, Braid used a hole undetected by the defenders to enter the outer city, the situation would take a turn for the worse.
The louder the noise outside the city, the safer the city becomes.
As the movement outside the city becomes smaller, the risk factor in the city will increase.
Once there is no movement outside the city, either the pigtails are dead or there is something big going on!
Zhang Guowei, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has gone to personally supervise the construction site, and the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War are also very busy.
The staff of the Medical Department are still busy on the street helping the doctors of the Army Hospital, the Ministry of Household Affairs is settling wages, and the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are jointly closing the case quickly.
Only the Ministry of Rites, led by Feng Quan, lived a leisurely life except for publishing some articles begging for prisoners.
Feng Quan also got the title of "Hero of the Ming Dynasty", what a twist of fate!
