1.96 Pirate Siege
The Ji Kingdom lies at the intersection of Yan and Zhao, and is known as the place of Jiuhe River.
There are nine rivers in the territory, with branches and branches crisscrossing and water networks everywhere. Du Kangze, digging lids, Yongnushu, and other large and small ponds, scattered. It is precisely because of the abundant water that Liu Bei was able to build dikes and fields, so that Ji Kingdom could be mature and have enough food and clothing.
As refugees returned home one after another, after rice farming, the cities of Ji Kingdom took advantage of the late autumn and early winter, and the soil had not frozen, and opened the canals to build dikes and diverted water. Similar to the work, the most skilled workers were naturally the cities in Linxiang, 300 miles away. After the grains were returned to the warehouse, the fields were managed daily by old farmers. The young and strong laborers drove cattle carts to five counties to prepare dry land and convert them into paddy fields. Earn a hundred yuan a day of wages.
A couple can receive 6,000 yuan in full term. It is also a considerable income.
Ji State's organisms benefit the whole country from top to bottom. The ox carts for farmers are also very convenient for food, accommodation and transportation. They park side by side on weekdays and walk along the embankments and dams and canals, saving a lot of unnecessary trouble and precious time. The umbrella built by the ox cart is also in the ox cart camp. It can treat work-related injuries nearby. As for security, it is responsible for the complete pavilion and postal system of Ji State.
The land tax in the five counties is calculated separately. A total of 300 miles of Linxiang was paid in Xingu this season. In addition, the 12 million stones of harvested from 2 million mu of official fields, Linxiang received 14 million stones of grain this season. It was the year of great prosperity. The eldest brother Liu Wen of Ji State asked for additional city warehouses to build a new port, and Liu Bei has approved it. Any new port in Ji State needs to build a new city warehouse. The port can take advantage of the convenience of canal transportation.
In the years of good harvest, farmers are still reluctant to sell them and they all stock up in their own warehouses. The income of the fields of grass and carp is enough. In addition, the hospital's traditional Chinese medicine gardens, renting businesses, weaving blankets, building roads and opening channels are all inclusive, and they all have inputs. Life is naturally rich.
Many people in Ji Country migrated here. They traveled thousands of miles, were hungry, and had hardships on the road, and still remembered them freshly. Naturally, they cherished food.
When Wang Shangshang was in charge of the construction of a house, the Lou Sang-a-house Qiminyuan included: the front building, the back building, the warehouse building, the lookout building, the water tower, the double quet building, and the four corner building. The remaining cities were covered with the city walls, and the four corner building that took into account the defensive function and the covered road riding on the wall were all spared. You only need to build the front building, the back building, the warehouse building, the lookout building, the water tower, the double quet building, and the sixth floor.
Even so, thousands of households in the city also built 60,000 tall buildings. You can imagine how rows and tall buildings are lined up. People walk around and how many weather there are. On the occasion of the festival, colorful lights are hanging high and the light is piled up like day. The prosperous scenery can be called heaven and earth.
There was an exclusive term in later generations: "History of City Building", which refers to such prosperous cities. Everyone lives in cities. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, building cities has become a major national event that the kings of all dynasties enjoyed.
King Ji Liu Bei is the leader among them.
After receiving a report of the pirates' invasion, Liu Bei interrupted the plan to build a city. He took the Youlin and sailed to the Bohai Sea together with the Ji Navy paddle ship.
Yongnushu, Yongnushu City.
The water-blocking embankment surrounding the city has been built by a machine ship. The water sieve near the city wall is dug deep into the soil and turned into a natural moat. It is connected to the water network in the city.
Seeing thousands of red horse boats rushing into the marsh and swooping towards Yongnu City. Standing on the newly repaired city, Zhong Yao looked around and then suddenly realized: "Firstly, the king distributed 100 stones of grain to every household. I thought it was a move to win people's hearts. Today I realized that the king had already expected that the pirates would siege the city, so he prepared enough food and fodder to defend the city. The pirates came from afar, how much food can the boat bring with them? Before the term, the food would be exhausted and retreated."
The embroidered clerk beside him said, "The king ordered Mingting to stay and wait for help. I believe he knew that the pirates were coming from afar, and he just wanted to fight quickly."
"Yes." Looking down at the bandits who were clamoring for thousands of red horses, Zhong Yao was calm and composed.
"There are only a hundred soldiers in the city. How to defend, please let the Ming court decide." Shi Chang said again.
"This matter is easy." Zhong Yao replied with a smile: "There are thousands of crossbows in the arsenal, and they were transported at the same time as food and fodder last time. Those who are strong and strong will be recruited from the fishermen to guard the crossbows. The pirates came on board and had no weapons to attack the city. How could they capture them in a hurry?"
"Here." Shi Chang went down to the city to arrange this.
He reached out and touched the clever tricks from his friend Xun You in his sleeve. Zhong Yao sighed: "You are full of strange ideas, but I am better off."
The bandits on the Red Horse Boat did not expect that a circle of ridges would be built outside the city.
There are all white zodiacs in the Yongnu Shou, and there is no other inch of land. How can this be done?
The Wushui Dike surrounding the city wall not only blocks the water, but also blocks the way forward of the Red Horse Boat. It also makes the waters sandwiched between the Wushui Dike and the high wall foundation of the city wall a natural moat.
The thief was blocked by the dam and had to abandon the boat and land on the shore. However, after climbing the dam, he found that there was a wide moat between the dam and the city wall. Just as the pirates who abandoned the boat were at a loss and looked at each other, a rain of arrows hit and died tragically. The arrows on the top of the city were raining, and the thief jumped off the Baize and swam back to the Red Horse Boat.
Pirate Guan Cheng looked at the miraculously built long dam in the pirate, and his eyes were filled with hatred.
During the stalemate, a boat approached. There was a man on the boat, with a long black face, a bare chest and abdomen exposed, and a black head, and a skin as if portrayed.
It was the pirate Xuezhou.
"Guan Qu, it seems that Ji Kingdom was prepared for a long time. The long dike isolates the inside and outside, and we have no weapons to attack the city, and the water in the squat is shallow, so big ships cannot pass through. Why not retreat to the sea, go up against Lai Shui, and plunder the cities along the coast?"
Although this time was called revenge, it was actually because he was jealous of the wealth of Ji Country. He used the name of revenge and plundered. Seeing that Yongnu City was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the large ships could not be passed through the squatter, and the governor could not do anything, Xuezhou retreated.
The pirate Guan Cheng died in Yongnu City, all his men and horses were alone, and dared not speak out.
Suddenly, he remembered that Wu Zhu, who came to meet in a sunken ship in the reed marsh, said that there was still an insider in the city. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shi Qu's words are reasonable. However, he thought that in such a short time, how could Ji State build a long embankment of shore water on the Baize where there is no standing cone? This embankment must be deceitful."
Xue Zhou also nodded: "In accordance with Guan Qu's opinion, what should we do?"
"Let's withdraw the troops today. When late at night, I sneaked into the city and asked for details with my inner supporters before making a decision." Guan Cheng made up his mind.
"That's fine." Xuezhou agreed readily: "Let's take care of the coach Qu, let's take a try!"
Looking at the red horse boat, he retreated one after another. Guan Cheng's eyes were like fire. It was separated from the old and young people in his home, how could he not be able to see through it?
There is no Xuezhou family in the city, so he naturally doesn't care. Guan Chengshi wants to capture this city, and only then can he relieve the hatred in his heart if he rescues the whole family and slaughter the city and burn the city!
How can you retreat easily with blood and hate?
When it was late at night, a speedboat approached the long dike. Before he could stop, Guan Cheng and several confidants flew out of the boat, crawled against the ground and climbed over the long dike, then dived into the water. Swimmed to the city gate, threw out the hook claws, and climbed up to the top of the city one by one.
"Who!" Before he finished speaking, arrows were like locusts.
The confidant did not hurry to draw his sword, and they all died of arrows. Guan Cheng took the opportunity to jump into the waterway in the city and avoided it dangerously. The torches on the top of the city were raised high and kept shouting. With the cover of the pile column, Guan Cheng, who had excellent water properties, had swam down a high-legged building. He quietly landed on the shore along the slanting ladder deep into the water surface of the fisherman.
