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

Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu were also there.

Other than that,

Huyan Zhuo gained the support of his generals and friends.

Han Tao and Peng Qi were also sitting to the side.

"Chieftain, strategist..."

Huyan Zhuo cupped his hands in greeting.

Zhao Yuan asked Huyan Zhuo to sit down.

Then he looked at Huyan Zhuo and the other two and said...

"General Huyan, you are a cavalry general by origin,"

"Now that we've joined Liangshan, it's better to continue serving as a general in the cavalry."

"Furthermore, Liangshan also hopes that the general can stay on the mountain,"

"Reassemble a thousand armored linked cavalry."

"this....."

Huyan Zhuo hesitated for a moment.

"Chief, if armored cavalry appears on the mountain, wouldn't our identities be...?"

"General Huyan, please rest assured,"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"I've discussed this with the three strategists as well,"

"During the previous battle between the two armies, nearly half of the armored cavalrymen were captured by Liangshan,"

"We'll spread the word that Liangshan has obtained the training method for the Ironclad Linked Horses,"

"It was obtained from the captured cavalry."

"The identities of the three are known only to the leaders of Liangshan."

"Therefore, the three of you need not worry about the imperial court finding out about this matter."

"That's good,"

Huyan Zhuo nodded in relief.

Then he stood up.

He bowed and agreed.

"Your subordinate obeys! I will definitely train an invincible heavy cavalry for Liangshan."

"Thank you for your trouble, General Huyan."

Zhao Yuan smiled and responded.

Then he asked Han Tao and Peng Qi to...

He continued to serve as Huyan Zhuo's assistant.

When these three were in the Song court...

Not only the superior-subordinate relationship,

They have also been friends for many years.

Huyan Zhuo was initially dispatched by Cai Jing and others to attack Liangshan.

He even specifically suggested transferring Han Tao and Peng Qi over.

This clearly demonstrates his trust in these two people.

With the help of Han Tao and Peng Qi,

Huyan Zhuo reorganized the Ironclad Chain Cavalry.

It should be much easier that way.

"By the way, what about Zhang Qing, the military supervisor?"

Huyan Zhuo suggested,

"Commander Zhang is a master of throwing stones, making him an excellent fighter in battle,"

"The chieftain should also give him an important position."

Huyan Zhuo said this,

Besides Zhang Qing being truly formidable,

They also had the desire to repay a debt of gratitude.

After all, this defeat

Only Zhang Qing remained loyal to him.

They helped him escape to Qingzhou.

"Haha, General Huyan, rest assured,"

Zhao Yuan laughed.

"Zhang Dujian's position is also that of a leader of the Liangshan cavalry,"

"His skill in throwing stones is truly formidable; I've witnessed it myself,"

"It will not be buried."

.....

After settling Huyan Zhuo, Han Tao, and Peng Qi in,

Zhao Yuan, who couldn't sit still,

Then they descended Liangshan.

They took a boat across the water to reach the western commercial town.

He personally oversaw the reconstruction of Shangzhen.

In order to arrive before the winter snow,

To build the entire commercial town

Besides spending a lot of money to hire local people from the vicinity of the marsh to work,

The method of building city walls on Liangshan side

It is also different from the city walls at this time.

During the Song Dynasty,

The government built city walls.

The interior of the city wall is usually built first using rammed earth.

Then collect bluestone.

It was erected on the outside of the city wall.

To protect and reduce the erosion of the city walls by wind and rain.

The city walls were built in this way.

To deal with the war at this time,

More than enough.

Zhao Yuan didn't make many changes to it.

The only thing he did was...

The original bluestone and glutinous rice juice used to build the outer side of the city wall were replaced with fired red bricks and cement.

The hired civilians,

The original ruins of the commercial town have been completely demolished...

Chapter 907 Rushing to Complete the Project

And right next to it,

Several brick kilns have been built.

In another day or two...

These brick kilns can produce tens of thousands of bricks each year.

It was specifically built for the construction of the city wall of the adjacent commercial town.

On the ruins of what was once a commercial town

The boundaries of the city walls for the new commercial town in Liangshan have already been determined.

Compared to the original commercial town, which was entirely built of wood,

The new town

It's almost twice the size of the old one.

It's already half the size of Yuncheng.

now,

Within the planned city wall area of ​​the new town,

The two sides of the city wall have already been secured with wooden planks.

Many people were pushing wheelbarrows.

Loess was continuously poured into the middle of the wooden board.

Once the loess has reached a certain thickness,

Selected from Liangshan

A strong and healthy man

Groups of four or five people,

Carrying the stone hammer they were talking about,

It kept smashing down on the yellow earth where the people had fallen.

This is how rammed earth walls are built.

Although it looks simple,

But the rammed earth wall was actually built without any shortcuts or substandard materials.

In terms of strength,

It's not much different from a city wall built entirely of bluestone.

When the rammed earth walls inside were almost finished being built

In the brick kiln next door,

We're almost ready to mass-produce bricks and stones.

By the time,

Then, use cement to block the red bricks on the outside of the rammed earth wall.

This is how the city wall was built.

To cope with a war without artillery at this time,

That's more than enough.
