Chapter 143: It's Up (Part 1)
If there was no Song Jiu's next sentence, Wang Quanbin could kill Song Jiu on the spot. But with this sentence, although he was furious, he would also hesitate in his heart. Don't think that Song Jiu is not important, it is also very important, but the nature is different. One is people's livelihood and the other is the battlefield. Its importance will not be lower than him. If you think deeper, you will even be a little higher. Killing Song Jiu will have serious consequences.
With this hesitation, things were not what he imagined.
Having had a tacit understanding for a long time, Lu Yuqing said: "Okay, Song Jiu, I have bet with you."
Chen Yilun also said: "I have bet with you too."
Ding Deyu, Cao Bin, Kang Yanze, Feng Zan, and Liu Guangyi were also angry and said together that I had bet with you. Wang Renshan was helpless. He was a chief supervisor, and the consequences were somewhat responsible, so he had to say, "Okay, I bet too, but this is a military order, so don't be fooled."
"This is the life and death of tens of thousands of imperial guards, and hundreds of thousands of people, how dare I play with it?"
Many bigwigs expressed their opinions, undoubtedly forming a kind of pressure. Although Wang Quanbin was furious, he could only say: "Okay, Song Jiu, if you can't break it, you don't have to commit suicide, and I will also use your head to sacrifice the flag."
It's so cruel, no wonder the emperor asked this kid to come. This kid is really brave and dare to speak.
"Then please stamp and sign."
Wang Renshan, Lu Yuqing, Wang Quanbin, Cao Bin, Cao Han, Liu Guangyi, Ding Deyu, Chen Yilun, Cui Yanjin, Kang Yanze, Feng Zan, Zhang Yanhan, Zhang Wanyou, Shi Yande and more than a dozen bigwigs stamped and signed together. The main incident happened too suddenly, and Wang Quanbin was caught off guard and was forced to be put on the shelves by Song Jiu and everyone.
After seeing everyone signing their autographs, Lu Yuqing knew that the major event was settled. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Song Jiu: "Why don't you sign?"
"Grandpa Lu, you have made great contributions to pacifying Shu, this is a contribution. No one can deny it. But the situation in Bashu has deteriorated so much, and you are also wrong. No one of you can deny it, including Grandpa Lu, you are all wrong and your behavior is soft."
Lu Yuqing smiled bitterly: "Song Jiu, I have accepted it."
"I was entrusted by Your Majesty to see how to deal with the resentment of refugees and the people. There is no other way, so I offended General Wang. I have no choice but to use this. Only by using this can we reduce the resentment of some people and allow most refugees to return home with peace of mind. It is my responsibility, but the person who tied the bell must be untied. What is the use of my signature? What is the use of my credit? Once Guankou Village is broken, I will return to the capital immediately. The people will feel my kindness. You are still in Bashu, and the resentment still exists, and this grudge cannot be dissolved. Therefore, I am not greedy for this merit. All belongs to you is the good medicine to resolve the resentment of the people in Bashu."
"Boy, these bandits return to their hometowns. If you want to cause trouble, you can afford the consequences."
"Whether to cause trouble? General Wang can ask General Kang if he wants to continue. The officials are not greedy and violent, and there is no need for bandits. The people and the refugees will rise up and turn into more and more rebels."
"General Wang, there is no need to say anything more. Now the army is headed by you. Take this opportunity to quickly resolve the rebels. The soldiers have been away from home for more than a year and want to go home." Lu Yuqing made a smooth move.
Actually, as Song Jiu said, there is not much oil and water left to make money here. Is it interesting?
Wang Quanbin left angrily.
Lu Yuqing still wants to pull him back, being angry is not a solution. If you are the commander-in-chief, you have to discuss how to fight and how many troops will cooperate. This has nothing to do with Song Jiu. Wang Quanbin is a powerful murderer and is not bad at war. The reason for his poor performance is that he has done too much evil and has a way to survive in Cao Bin's hands. There is no way to survive in Wang Quanbin's hands. Therefore, when he meets Wang Quanbin's army, the resistance army will become more brave, and the result will make Cao Bin compete again and again. But Wang Quanbin will not reflect.
Kang Yanze, Ding Deyu and others were also war masters, so Song Jiu said goodbye and asked them to discuss.
After most of the day, Song Jiu saw Lu Yuqing and Chen Yilun walk to his room while they were sweating. It seemed that they had been discussing for most of the day and had a quarrel for most of the day. Song Jiu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked, "It's a decision."
Lu Yuqing nodded and said, "Song Jiu, this is not a joke. If it fails, General Wang will really behead you and show it to the public."
"Come on," Song Jiu lifted the gauze. He used the soil to make a model, or used the soil from Guankou Village for experiments. Then he took out a lot of paper with various calculation data written on it. Lu Yuqing waved his hand and said, "Don't show it to me, I don't understand this, just say you are 100% sure?"
It’s not almost certain, it’s ten thousand sure!
"Yes, although the terrain of Guankou Village is dangerous, especially when it is leaning on the terrain and is located on a slope, it is even more difficult to attack. But this gives the opportunity to blow up the wall. The enemy has also dug trenches. I have seen it on the balloon, but it is not too deep. And because its wall is high and its foundation is destroyed, it is difficult to maintain balance and increase its torque. It means that there are trenches. If calculated properly, it can be quickly blown down, and it will fall down a large area. Even if the enemy uses a fence to block it, it will not have time to block it. There is another one, you Let’s look at the soil, these soils are clay, and sand and gravel, which are very strong. However, because of the clay water, when we were constructed, we considered that even the water village would be saved. However, this made the soil moist and made it easier to dig tunnels. You see, I plan to detonate from both sides first, without them having much effect, just a shake effect, and then a larger amount of gunpowder in the middle is detonated. Because the foundations on both sides are shaken and the balance of the overall length of the city wall is lost, then a large gap will inevitably fall."
Song Jiu tried to explain in simple language, but the two still understood it.
Only by understanding a little, Song Jiu was very sure. Lu Yuqing touched his chest and said, "That's good, that's good, otherwise I would have harmed you."
Now he does not plan to write a memorial, but he must write a memorial afterwards and report the detailed situation. He cannot consider the present, but also consider the future. Those people will be used by the Song Dynasty in the future. Song Jiu's performance this time is much more eye-catching than Hunan. He dares to take responsibility, decisive, strategic, and kind, and has met all kinds of conditions for good officials.
Song Jiu put the gauze on the model again, walked out, found Kang Yanze, and said, "General Kang, I have something to ask for."
"Don't mess with me." Kang Yanze shivered in fear. Song Jiuyi begged Wang Quanbin, but Wang Quanbin was hurt. Of course, Kang Yanze felt relieved, but if this matter was exposed to him, he would be very unhappy.
"It's not a struggle, I just want to bring the two hundred Sichuan cavalry back to the capital when I go back."
"what!"
"General Kang, I have my own intentions. His Majesty wanted to let the surrendered soldiers come to the capital before, which was kind. In this situation, if the surrendered soldiers come to the capital, it will still lead to misunderstandings among the people."
"Yes, then you'll take two hundred rivers back?"
"My intention is very simple. First, let Your Majesty see if the surrendered soldiers can be used by our dynasty. Let Your Majesty know that they are in Bashu, and they are good people and good soldiers. Don't send them to the capital for fear, so as not to cause any additional trouble."
"Yes, but you must explain it to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty is a reasoned person, you know better than me. But you are far away from him, and the Holy Listen may not be so clear. If someone else makes random comments, it will disturb the Holy Listen. This is one of them. Secondly, I offended General Wang and I will not feel at ease when I ride for more than twenty riders."
Kang Yanze laughed loudly, and after laughing, he whispered: "Song Jiu. It's a good job. If you had come to Bashu early, maybe this was not the case in Bashu."
"I've come here a long time ago and it's useless to say it, and it's even more useless to say it."
Kang Yanze was very happy. At least no matter how Song Jiu reported it back, he would not say bad things about himself. He whispered: "On the day when Guankou Village was destroyed, you immediately go straight from Guankou Village to Pengzhou, Hanzhou, and Mianzhou. Wait for a while, and I will send someone to send a map tonight. If you follow the route drawn on the map, you will be safe and sound."
Give him a peach and repay him a plum.
Even if Wang Quanbin wanted to do anything, he would never have thought that Song Jiu would leave quickly on the day when the village was broken. He was full of elite cavalry. He was caught off guard and could only watch Song Jiu return to Beijing. When he arrived in the capital, anything happened as soon as possible. It was not very meaningful to settle the accounts after autumn, and it was also under the eyes of the emperor.
"Thank you." Song Jiu said happily, don't say anything, he was worried about this matter, saying that it was not afraid of it being fake.
Several armies began to mobilize.
Wang Quanbin personally led 15,000 troops to Guankou Village. Lu Yuqing and Shen Yilun were not relieved and followed him in person. It was not okay to sign and stamp them. Moreover, Wang Quanbin also made a harsh statement that the inscription was engraved, but it could not be treed outside Yizhou City. If you want to have a tree, you can easily break the Guankou Village, so I will just tree it. God knows what the idea of this killing god is.
When we arrived at Guankou Village, we set up a camp first, without attacking, so as not to cause unnecessary casualties.
I started picking the earthen mountain early the next morning, which was a cover-up. It was really a challenge, but I didn’t expect this earthen mountain to be a little far from the city wall. This was to cover up the authentic tunnel below.
Song Jiu made a triangle ruler, which was very standard, and there was a very long movable ruler in front of it, ensuring that the tunnel was dug along the straight line below. It was unlikely to use a tree stump as a sign. Lu Han rebelled and informed all the troops of the army in all kinds of ways. Once he was in the rain of bullets and trees under the city wall, he would not only sacrifice many soldiers, but also allow the rebels to see through and be prepared in advance.
Here are digging tunnels and building soil mountains, and over there, Song Jiu repeatedly measured the distance with his shadow.
Lu Yuqing was watching from the side, sighing in his heart. It was still an unreplicable battle. First of all, these measurements and calculations were not possible except Song Jiu. He asked his disciple Wu Dazheng who snatched him. Wu Dazheng said that he could not do it. If he wanted to do it, he would probably have to study for at least four or five years.
Song Jiuquan passed the previous period, but now it is a complex period. The shadow speaks without any relation to the slope of the slope, which is straight. However, the city wall is located on the slope, so the tunnel will inevitably cause some distortion. However, the requirements for the blasting point are very strict and no major errors can occur.
This is also very troublesome to calculate.
After digging the earthen mountain for a day, Song Jiu repeatedly calculated it for a day, and even ran to the tunnel from time to time to command it himself.
In the evening, Wang Quanbin asked, "Are you okay?"
The people of Bashu had become older with him, but he had become older with Song Jiuliangzi.
"alright."
At noon the next day, the tunnel extended below the city wall, and the depth was still below the trench inside. The blasting point was not facing the middle of the city wall, but was slightly outward to avoid the trench affecting the power of the air pressure. However, this harm to the city wall is relatively less.
Therefore, Song Jiu revised the plan, and the main blasting point changed from one to two side blasting points.
宋九说道:“升气球吧.”
Wang Quanbin's face immediately became gloomy. The leaflet scattered and slapped it hard. But he had no choice but to raise two balloons to scatter the leaflets, and at the same time, people read it loudly on it so that the rebels below would not be able to read.
There was a hint of panic in the village, and a chief general ordered the collection of leaflets. Lou Su said: "The inspector, he is Xie Xingben, the general under Shixiong, and the side is Song Weihuai, both of them are extremely brave."
Song Jiu nodded, but no matter how brave he was, he would not be useful if he changed his mind for a while.
Seeing that it was almost done, Song Jiuchong made a gesture and began to fire the fuse.
Two loud bangs came out one after another. Although there was still error after careful calculations. One city wall was blown up correctly, and a large gap appeared. Xie Xingben hurriedly ordered the soldiers to block it with a fence. The other place was not blown down, but it also made the soil on the ground fly, which somewhat shaking the foundation of the city wall.
Song Jiu made another gesture, and the other two fuses were ignited. At this time, Song Jiu also had a trace of worry on his face. The amount of gunpowder was placed under him. Each box was filled with a total of 100 kilograms of gunpowder, almost half of the inventory in Wang Quanbin's hand.
