"There is a lack of stone along the way, and it is all made of rammed earth, and it may become potholes when the rainy season comes." Wang Qi received this task in Layue last year, and first took people to go around the states and counties along the way, and only came back after completing the basic measurement work.

This road is much easier for him than the road to heaven, there is no need to open mountains or cut stones, but it is not without difficulty, and the degree of sturdiness is a big problem.

"Regardless of the service life, the box car can be passed within five years. The official will stop the construction of the stone boat, and all the lime will be transferred to you, with gravel and river sand, and it should be almost enough to lay a layer on the tamped road. You can grasp the specific thickness, and if the lime is not enough, find a suitable place to build a kiln along the way. 10,000 is not enough for 20,000, 20,000 is not enough for 50,000, and it must be completed before the end of the year. ”

Hong Tao felt that Wang Qi was also a bit of a follower of Peng Da and Wang Datou, and he was thinking about the centennial project before making anything. This habit is very good, but when it is very important, you have to learn to be flexible, as long as you can snatch the Yanshan Mountains back, you have no problem with all marble paving. But now it can only be improvised, and everything is in the service of the war.

"At the end of the year! I am afraid that there are more than 350,000 people who can do it, and so many people will consume a huge amount of money and food. ”

Wang Qi didn't expect the construction period of the road to be so tight, even if he didn't use stones, he wanted to complete the road for more than 400 miles in ten months, and he would start construction at the same time in several sections, so that the manpower consumed would increase exponentially.

"Hey, hey, the new army allocated by the imperial court has come down, 200,000 yuan. Don't worry about food, this is the granary of Hebei, and there is Jiangnan rice to help, so there will be no shortage of food and drink. You just fix it, the sooner the better, no matter the cost, understand? Whoever needs to expropriate land along the way will buy it with money, and tell Uncle Jiang if he doesn't sell it, and he will bring 500 new troops to help you. ”

Wang Qi is worried about the cost problem, but Hong Tao is the least worried, this year's Hebei Road conscription will be less than in previous years, with tens of thousands of engineering troops, the work efficiency will be greatly improved, less than 30,000 less enlistment, the cost will be reduced.

In addition, there are more than 20,000 forbidden army foot soldiers of the Wuwei Army, Zhenwu Army, Xuanyi Army, and Yongjie Army on the Daimyo Mansion Road, and the 7,000 new army can completely take over their defense tasks. So I'm sorry, no one can eat and work for nothing in the official's one-third of an acre, so you should also go and build roads.

Not going? I see it's the mouth that says it. If there is one who says, cut one, ten who say five pairs, and one who says a hundred, and see if your neck is hard or your official's knife is hard.

Of course, hard work cannot be ignored without strategy, and the troubles that can be avoided must be avoided. How to avoid it? Hong Tao is really boring, he only has two or three moves to fight and repeat the war, and he can't escape the three axes from the left and right of governing the place. I didn't bother to think of new ways to make mistakes, and I sacrificed the old routine of abolishing box labor.

Just after the first month, the forbidden army received a notice from the Shuai Sifu and summoned everyone to come to the city to participate in the new army drill. This was the practice of the forbidden army in the Northern Song Dynasty, and there would be exercises every spring to report the results of the training to the local top military commander.

No one thought much about it, so they came with the trilogy, and they didn't find anything abnormal. That night, Lord Shuai Si also held a banquet in the government to entertain the generals above the commander of the various armies, which seemed to be not as unreasonable as the legend.

As soon as this thought came to me, before the main course was served, everyone in the room knew that they had been fooled. It's a pity that I understood a little late, and hundreds of black-clothed people appeared around the courtyard, all holding strangely shaped weapons, how to look at it.

"Lord Shuaisi, what do you mean by this, if we have any offense, please make it clear!" Military generals are indeed bolder than civilian officials, and it is certain that they are afraid in the face of a circle of lethal weapons, but there are almost no fears on their faces. The commanders of the four armies stood up and hugged their fists to ask questions, which was quite polite.

"You are all loyal people of the Great Song Dynasty, what are the crimes of defending the country? I haven't offended this official in the slightest, but I want to offend you today. This is also a matter of necessity, which is not what the official wants, but it has to be done. Hong Tao also stood in front of the special forces, only in this way did he dare to talk to so many generals at close range.

"Lord Shuaisi didn't quite understand what the general said...... "The four of them are all commanding to make you look at me, I will look at you, what do you mean by reluctance, can anyone force you...... Don't you want to rebel!

"Your Majesty transferred this official from Huangzhou to this place, do you know why? Without it, the official completely annihilated the two elite military divisions of the Western Xia, and also Kesu Prefecture and Ganzhou, so that the Western Xia generals trembled when they heard the name of the official. You may have heard of these things, but now this official has to correct it, what kind of trapping the enemy 100,000 or 200,000 is nonsense, and the two military commanders are full of more than 60,000 people. ”

Seeing that the generals present were more rational and did not mean to face the bow and crossbow with their bare hands, Hong Tao finally dared to sit down and speak. But what he said doesn't seem to have anything to do with the current situation, who wants to listen to yourself to refute the rumors.

"How did this officer defeat the enemy? In fact, it is very simple, it is them and the new army outside. At that time, there were more than 3,000 new troops and hundreds of black-clothed troops in the hands of this official, which means that the combat effectiveness of the new army of this official should be ten times that of the Western Xia army. The Western Xia army and the Northern Dynasty army also fought several times, and they won and lost each other, and their combat effectiveness was between them. Then the question arises, since the combat effectiveness of the new army is several times that of the Northern Korean army, why does this official still need so many forbidden troops to defend here? It's a complete waste, so what can we do? "People sit down, but they talk more angrily than when they stand.

"My lord's words are wrong, if there is no forbidden army stationed here, I am afraid that it will be a land of horses and horses in the Northern Dynasty before the adults come!" Without the deterrence of bows and crossbows all around, these generals would probably rush up and beat the unashamed Founding Prince.

"That's right, didn't this official say just now, you have merit to the Great Song Dynasty. But time has passed, and now it's my turn to guard this place in your place. However, the money and food in the hands of this official are limited, and he has to train the new army and build roads, which is stretched. So I would like to ask you for a favor, can you deign to go to the construction site to help build the road first. Don't be busy scolding, listen to the official first. You are all heroes of the country, and you are certainly not willing to do such a thing as building roads. What to do? I have to write a letter to impeach this official, so that the Privy Council and the Guards will move you and your subordinates away from the Daimyo's Mansion at a very fast speed, and there will be no conflict between us. This official just wants to force the court to give an order as soon as possible, and he doesn't want to conflict with meritorious officials, have you ever understood? ”

For these forbidden army Hong Tao is really grateful, they are not easy, relying on two legs to compete with the war horses of the Liao State, adults have been frightened here for many months, and the casualties in the real fight must be more than the enemy. Let's not talk about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, as long as you can come here to serve, you will be worthy of the country.

But sometimes they really can't move their feelings, they can't fit into their own system 100%, and always lying around them not only doesn't help, but also makes them uneasy, what if someone is said to start a rebellion?

If you want to transfer these forbidden troops away, you can't do it yourself, and there will be no results in fighting a clerical war with the imperial court until the founding of New China, and those officials will definitely not allow themselves to monopolize the military power in the Daimyo's mansion.

What to do? It's still the old way, don't you disagree, then I'll cut it first and then play it. It's a fait accompli, do you keep me or keep them, anyway, things have already come to this, and it is impossible to cooperate together.

Even if you are willing to do so, the court will not rest assured, what if one day the new army and the forbidden army fight? This is the north gate of Kaifeng, who dares to guarantee that he will not be impulsive when the war is chaotic? On impulse, he turned around and rushed directly into Kaifeng, which was not a big joke.

It is very dangerous to do this, in case Emperor Shenzong can't withstand the pressure of the courtiers, he will be the one who is transferred, and there will be no good fruit to eat when he is transferred back.

But since he became the Jingzhao Mansion Pit Ye Casting Division, every step has been an adventure, and it has almost become a daily routine. There is no future if you want to break the stereotype, especially when you don't have enough time, you have to take risks, and there is no second way.

Lord Shuaisi's words were understood by the generals present, and they thought they were in the way, and they couldn't persuade the court to lower the order, so they forced everyone to build roads, and then forced everyone to impeach together, and finally the court had to make a choice, and it had to be fast or slow.

"If I don't obey!" How to say it, this Lord Shuai Si is indeed as unreasonable and lawless as the rumors say. The generals were not cowards, and some people were not very happy on the spot. Do what you like, why do you use us as guns.

"You're not happy? This official has said a lot of good things, and he doesn't want to tear his face and hurt his anger with you. But this official has been mad, you want to try it! Hong Tao's eyes widened, he stood up with his hands on the table, and stared directly at Du Yuhou, who took the lead in opposition.

“…… Why not try it, do you dare to ...... Yes...... Puff ...... "This Du Yuhou from the Xuanyi Army was quite tough, and he also stood up and stared at him, intending to shout.

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground, convulsed a few times and did not move, with a black crossbow bolt stuck in his throat. The black-clothed man who shot him pulled the crossbow string expressionlessly, put on another crossbow arrow, and held it up to see who was still unconvinced.

"......" encountered such a murderous and powerful boss, the generals could only dare to be angry but did not dare to speak, and watched as the body of their colleague was dragged out like a dead dog, leaving a bloody mark on the ground.

"To return the body to his family, and then to give him a bereavement according to the command of the new army, it is said that he was accidentally shot by an arrow while exterminating the bandits."

Is it convincing that Hong Tao can't control it, as long as no one confronts him in person. This Du Yuhou has never seen it himself, let alone knows his name, but if he kills it, he will kill it, there is nothing to sympathize with, and if he does this kind of work, he will become numb.
