The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Chapter 493: Throwing the Whip

Zhao Qi returned to the imperial boat and sat on the deck for half a day, thinking about what Zhao Yong said just now, even if the embankment outside Liaoyang City could be destroyed and water was diverted into the city. But now it is not as good as when the dike was broken, the flood had lost its impact and became flat.

It is impossible to break through the city wall as the second line of defense. Now the river water is still leaking into the overland area. If the flood does not retreat, the city wall will not collapse. They cannot attack the city and open up the road to the north.

After thinking about it, Zhao Qi felt that the only way to block the breach was to stop. If the breach was blocked, the water in the overland would be drained quickly. Now it is summer, the remaining water will be evaporated and the mud will be dried.

The road to the top can be cleared and can be passed through with a little cleaning. As for how to block the breach, Zhao Qiong has not yet come up with a solution, but in his previous life, the Yangtze River breach could be blocked, so the "small" opening on the Lianghe River did not block.

Reason for not going to.

Zhao Qi thought it was impossible to block and break something professional. It was fine for the military generals to let them dig another hole. It would definitely not be possible to block it. It depends on the civil servants, so he immediately summoned the Suihu.

Zheng Qiao, the Minister of Works, and others discussed the matter.

"Zheng Aiqing, now ** is following me to inspect the water situation. The situation is clear. I wonder if the situation can be blocked and broken?" Zhao Qi asked after giving the seat.

"Your Majesty, I think I can block the breach." Zheng Qiao replied respectfully.

"Oh, what do you do?" Zhao Qiong was surprised to see Zheng Qiao without thinking, because he knew that although he was very broad and proficient in miscellaneous arts, water control was very professional.

He was so suspicious.

"Your Majesty, I don't know, but someone can." Zheng Qiao can be said to be half of the emperor's student. The two spent more time together and spoke casually, and said with a smile and blinking.

"Oh, who are you talking about, but you are in the army?" Zhao Qi asked anxiously.

"Your Majesty, this person is Zhao Lin, the Chief of the Dushui Supervisor. Your Majesty has an impression." Zheng Qiao said with a smile.

"Of course, he spent three years managing the Bian River to prevent the capital from floods and ensure smooth transportation. How could he be in the army?" Zhao Qi thought of this person for a moment and asked in confusion.

"Oh, this is really a coincidence. When I was selecting the escorts that day, I thought that there were many rivers in Liaodong. Once they were recovered, they would rather take this opportunity to investigate and wait for later use, so I took him with me.

Today, after visiting the river, my minister and Your Majesty knew that they would inevitably ask about blocking and breaking the verdict, so they went to ask Zhao Jiancheng first." Zheng Qiao said with a smile.

Zhao Qi laughed loudly when he heard this. It seemed that God was still standing beside him. Otherwise, how long would it take to transfer him from Bianjing to the road! He immediately summoned all the generals and Zhao Lin and asked him to preside over the blockade.

In the Lianghe Breaking Project, the materials and personnel required are assigned priority. All military forces must cooperate fully. No one shall shirk responsibility for any reason. All current actions are based on blocking the Breaking...

Zhao Lin was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the water control in the near danger. After observing the water situation, his first order was to cut down trees and mobilize the craftsmanship camps from the baggage brigades of each army to create flat-bottomed grain ships. He ordered the army to send people to dig a large number of stones to transport them to the shore.

At the same time, people were asked to make wooden cages, weave ropes, prepare soil bags, tie up wooden rafts, collect branches, straw and other things. At the same time, soldiers were recruited from the baggage brigade and the sailors to serve as river workers, and carried out a series of training.

Zhao Lin sent another army to dig several east-west trenches, with a certain depth.

Although the Song Dynasty had a tradition of governing military affairs with civil servants, a group of senior military generals asked a civil servant who was only from the fourth rank to run around. If they could not complete the tasks assigned by quality and time on time, they would be scolded by them.

They felt resentful, but they did not dare to attack due to the emperor's strict orders. But they all held their breath. Once the gap was blocked, they must be properly rectified and extricated their anger.

At this time, the Liang River bank became a large construction site, with various materials continuously transporting, and various types of canal ships required were continuously launched, and countless people were involved in this battle. The emperor also visited many times, and the Dragon Boat Festival was

He spent it on the construction site with the army. Of course, Zhao Lin was the hardest part. He not only had to monitor the water situation and adjust the plan at all times, but also urged all departments to step up the manufacturing of various equipment and hoard the necessary materials.

"Zhao Jiancheng, when can we start blocking the gap?" Zhao Qiong was most concerned about, of course, how can we block the gap and when can we block the gap? Tens of thousands of people here eat horses and feed the money and food consumed.

It took a lot of money to calculate, and it would take one more day to lose a huge loss. He decided to ask what was going on.

"Your Majesty, you can block the trough after the required materials are ready. It will take three or five days to follow the current progress." Zhao Lin said with politeness. His busy days made him feel very tired, and his eyes were covered in blood.

"What are these canal ships for?" Zhao Qi asked, pointing to dozens of ships that were being made.

"Your Majesty, because the water is shallow, our existing warships are not worth using, and the newly built canal ships are flat bottoms and not afraid of shallows, which is convenient for transporting materials and personnel." Zhao Lin explained.

"What's the use of those bales?" Zhao Qi asked in confusion as he watched the soldiers roll branches, sorghum, grass and soil and stones into huge bales of dozens of steps.

"Your Majesty, this is a 'sank', used to build a shore protection and block the broken doors." Zhao Lin answered while giving the emperor a demonstration.

"Oh, so that's it." Zhao Qi understood after reading it. This was to use the Shi to retreat to the river when the fire broke down and sink it to the bottom of the water to block the water flow, and then add gaps to complete the blockage.

"Those wooden cages are used to fill stones and put them into the water first to reduce the impact on the bottom, so as to prevent the bottom of the dike from being hollowed out by water, and then burst the dike again." Zhao Lin saw that the emperor was very interested, so he introduced them one by one.

"I think a big ship can enter the gap, cross the breach, and then sink itself. Can it speed up the progress?" Zhao Qi remembered that in his previous life, the Yangtze River broke, and because the water flow was too large, he ended up sinking the breach with a ship filled with stones.

Blocked the hole and made a suggestion.

"Hiss, no one has used the method that Your Majesty said, but the ministers think it is feasible. Using the dragon mouth to combine the water level, soil quality and river engineering technology has a lot to do with it. If the water level is too large and cannot sink, it will break and be swept away by the water.

, often fail, but the big ship is not full of earth and rocks on it, and it is integrated. It sinks into the breach and will not be swept away by the water flow." The emperor's method is novel, but it has some reasonableness, and he thought for a moment and said.

"I just thought about it occasionally, whether it can be used or not is up to you. Don't affect your decision because of me." Zhao Qiong said. He understood that in ancient times, he had already had a complete and mature water control standard and regulations, if it was because of his own

If the proposal fails to block the door, wouldn’t I shoot myself in the foot?

"My dear understanding, will definitely consider making a decision carefully. If Your Majesty's method is available, it can benefit all the people!" Zhao Lin said with deep politeness, adding a little bit to his admiration for the emperor. He could come up with such a brilliant plan just by accident.

, If we were specializing in controlling the water, wouldn’t there be another Dayu Master in history?

..............

Wanyan Yong's first thing to do when he wakes up every morning is not to stiletto and pee, but to ask how the water outside the city is. Hearing that the water has risen a little more, the embankment is safe and sound than anything else. The surging water outside the city is

However, although the amulet of Liaoyang City broke the dike, the Song army saw through their plans and failed to defeat the enemy soldiers with great floods, they also forced them back for more than ten miles, allowing Liaoyang City to be preserved and protected from the poison of the war.

Now more than ten days have passed, and the people in Liaoyang City have also been freed from their original fear under the sanitation of the flood. Wanyan Yongming understood that Zhao Erqian would never give up easily when he came here. He didn't know that he would siege the city.

When did he strictly control the food in the city, but all the fields outside the city were submerged, all the workshops were destroyed, and many people lost everything, in order to prevent the people who were taken into the city from having no food and clothing,

Wanyan Yong ordered the government to place these people in temples and military camps and provide relief.

The people can receive four liters of rice and grain every day, and only soldiers can distribute them in full. At the same time, Wanyan Yong cracked down on illegal laws, and soldiers patrolled day and night to maintain public order, and those who have misconduct immediately suppressed them. With his use of both soft and hard work,

The lives of the people in the city are quite stable, and I hope that the Song army can withdraw as soon as possible. However, the city was surrounded by water and all the news outside was cut off. I didn't know whether the Song army was leaving or staying or what they were doing.

This kind of life that Wanyan Yong thought was very comfortable did not last long. The soldiers who guarded the city for two days reported that the water outside the dike did not rise, but fell a lot. At first he did not care, thinking that the water coming upstream decreased,

But today it was reported that the water level had dropped by more than two feet, and it was still a downward trend. At noon, he was even more uneasy. The rewards of the soldiers who dug up the Lianghe River were even more uneasy. The holes dug by them on the Lianghe River were blocked by the Song army.

Alive most of the time.

"Did Zhao Er really have the ability to throw a whip and break the flow? He actually blocked two broken holes overnight. If this continues, the flood will quickly retreat and the city will fall into crisis again." After receiving the news, Wanyan Yong immediately became aware of the news.

Kong Yanzhou, who was convening the generals to discuss how to deal with it, heard the suggestion, said in surprise that Zhao Er showed his magical skills several times since his birth. He also heard of it in the Song Dynasty, and he didn't realize that he thought of it.

"Zhao Er is a human being, not a god. If he had such supernatural powers, he would not have waited until today. It must be that there are capable people in his army who can control water and come up with a way to block the ground." Li Qiong's face twitched a few times and said.

"It's over that. Whether Zhao Er has great powers or capable people in the army, the most urgent task is to find ways to stop him from blocking and breaking." Wanyan said in a deep voice.

Everyone here understands that if you lose the protection of the flood, you cannot stop the Song army by leaning against the city. Only by thinking out a solution as soon as possible can you protect Liaoyang Prefecture. However, no one has any good plans for how to solve it for the time being, and the Shuaitang fell into silence.
