Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Kaifeng Prefecture will also cooperate,"

"The head of the neighborhood committee led the residents to establish a layered control network,"

"Let those scoundrels have nowhere to go, neither to heaven nor to hell!"

The Northern Song Dynasty lasted for more than 160 years.

The sewers have been cleaned countless times.

They often send out hundreds or even thousands of troops, yet they are completely helpless against the underworld.

Clean up the Worry-Free Cave.

It's not enough to just look after those above.

Focusing only on the lower part is not enough.

Even with combined efforts from top to bottom, it's difficult to achieve results.

Tens of thousands of elite troops are needed to sweep through the sewers.

We need informants to reveal the location of the underground operation.

The neighborhood committee needs to organize joint prevention and control efforts among the residents.

Chapter 1667 Cleaning the Sewers

Only by taking a three-pronged approach can success be achieved.

Gao Qiu received his assignment.

I rushed home excitedly.

He summoned his former subordinates.

Those imperial guards were all dismissed.

Currently unemployed.

They have to find their own way to make a living.

The conditions set by Gao Qiu

However, meritorious service can earn one a reward.

Those who make great contributions can be assigned to the Five Cities Military Command.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.

They each went off to inquire about the news.

It quickly became the talk of the town.

It doesn't really matter.

The news was bound to leak.

Because Zhao Yuan wanted to make a huge show of things.

The Five Cities Military Command is currently being established.

Jiang Yong, who was born in Daming Village,

He served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Military Affairs Department.

One thousand Sichuan soldiers were transferred in.

As the backbone of the Five Cities Military Command,

Recruit another 1,500 Tokyo locals into the army—it won't work if they're all from out of town.

Unfamiliar with the situation inside and outside the city.

After they formed,

The first thing to do was to investigate and eliminate all gangs and organizations both inside and outside the city.

Gao Qiu led his old subordinates to point out the various gang hideouts.

Kaifeng Prefecture also issued a notice.

The public is encouraged to report suspicious individuals.

It was also announced that,

There are no murderers on his hands.

Surrendering to the authorities can lead to exemption from punishment.

Those who perform meritorious service without committing murder will be rewarded.

Those involved in murder cases may receive a lighter sentence.

For several days in a row, chaos erupted both inside and outside the city.

Gang members are being arrested everywhere.

First, make sure the rats have nowhere to hide on the ground.

Force them underground, then wipe them out with a large army!

.....

Since industry and commerce are in a slump,

Massive unemployment

Then let's just mess around and find something to do.

Eradicate the underworld,

It seems to be only related to public security.

It could actually be developed into a public welfare project.

No matter how advanced Tokyo's sewer system is,

It also cannot withstand human damage.

For example, residents can arbitrarily alter their residences.

They encroached on the river channel and destroyed the underground canals.

Or perhaps they were greedy for cheap prices.

They threw a lot of garbage down there.

Therefore, Kaifeng frequently experiences flooding.

The sewer is blocked!

There is also the problem of ineffective government management.

Many sewer inlets and outlets reeked of foul odors.

In addition, garbage and silt accumulation,

Many sections of the road have become stagnant, foul-smelling ponds.

It seriously affects the city's appearance and sanitation.

Zhao Yuan personally signed the official document.

Orders were issued to Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties,

Assist the Ministry of Works in conscripting 10,000 laborers.

Following behind 10,000 soldiers to clear the silt.

They unclogged all the sewers in Tokyo.

These laborers received no wages.

And you need to bring your own tools.

The imperial court only provided two meals a day.

It is not mandatory; people sign up voluntarily.

Tokyo residents without stable employment,

For those two meals a day,

They all rushed to sign up.

There are more than enough people.

Finally, we still need to filter them.

Those who are too physically weak will be eliminated.

"The ditches and canals in Kaifeng are divided into two types: visible and hidden,"

"The open channel has an eight-shaped water inlet,"

"The underground channels are all connected to the water outlets..."

He Changyan, the Vice Minister of Works, pointed to the canal blueprints and said,

"The four rivers and three moats outside Kaifeng City,"

"The irrigation canals on both sides of the four main roads outside the imperial city,"

"There are also the four major pools within the city: Ningxiang, Qionglin, Jinming, and Yujin,"

"These are all key nodes in the ditch."

"General, you may first close all the exits of the culvert,"

"The fourth batch of soldiers entered from outside the imperial city..."

He Changyan was from Jiangxi.

Because of the impeachment of Cai Jing

He was demoted five times and returned to the capital five times, and was familiar with the practical work of both the central and local governments.

Zhao Yuan thought this person was good.

He was ordered to continue serving as Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works.

However, it was Guan Sheng who was in charge of leading the troops to suppress the rebellion.

According to He Changyan's explanation,

He stared at the blueprints, looking at them again and again.

There are dozens, even hundreds, of these drawings.

Each one has crisscrossing lines.

Guan Sheng felt dizzy from staring at him.

I have absolutely no idea where to begin.

He Changyan said, "General, you need not trouble yourself."

"I marked all the entrances and exits,"

"The total is divided into twenty or thirty parts."

"Each copy should be given to an army,"

"Give those troops another order,"

"Let the generals in charge of the troops familiarize themselves with the blueprints."

"In both Kaifeng and Xiangfu counties, officials were responsible for dredging the silt,"

"Have the officials gather laborers familiar with the underground canal,"

"These laborers can serve as guides in the army."

"That's good."

Guan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
