Chapter 503 Flaws
Zhao Bing thought that Pu Shougen might have secretly been to Chen Cang because he was too calm. He bargained with him openly and sent someone to assassinate him. This did not seem to be frightened at all, which shows that he had already left a way out for himself. "ΩΔBlogΔ Quge. Whether it is a high position in the throne or a dominance of the sea, it is nothing more than a ceremonial wealth in his hands. There was no bank in this era, and there was no storage business, so Pu Shougen could only hide the accumulated property at home.
"What a cunning!" If the old nest was taken away and the property was confiscated, he knew very well that he was not the one who was not the one who had no money at that time and had lost his foundation. But as long as his money was still there, he had a chance to turn things around. Therefore, it can be said that Pu Shougeng now understands that saving his life is equally important as protecting wealth. Thinking of the tyrant Zhao Ruogang in Guangzhou, the thugs of Guangzhou also knew to build a screen wall with silver and cast gold into a lotus jar to hide it. Zhao Bing thought that Pu Shougeng must have a place to store gold. The reason why he did not escape was to send his wealth out of the city.
Zhao Bing figured out the key and obtained it from Ying Jieyan. Cai Wanyi's words made him even more convinced that his judgment was correct. The Pu family was unable to independently build a secret passage leading to the outside of the city. However, it could use the convenience of municipal engineering to connect the secret passage of his family with the official flood discharge channel and the moat to build a complete escape route. At this moment, only by blocking the passage of Pu Shougeng's escape and intercepting the channel for smuggling property, he did not come in vain. Once he launched a general attack, he slipped out and ran away, it would be a waste of time to get the soles of his shoes.
Several people analyzed that since it was a secret passage and was traveling by water, the channels that could lead to the city were nothing more than water gates on the city wall and the hidden ditches reserved directly from the city wall. However, it was not ruled out that Pu Shougen would secretly tamper with it and divert the underpass to other places, but he would not leave the water no matter how he changed it. Cai Wanyi was a local snake, and he led people to seal all the known water gates out of the city. Zhao Bing ordered the besieged troops to closely monitor the moats surrounding the city to check whether there were any hidden ditches. The navy focused on monitoring the Fashi Port and prevented him from escaping by boat.
It takes time to dispatch troops, and the gathering of troops at the moment will inevitably arouse Pu Shougeng's suspicion. This can only be explained by the emperor's arrival, and the purpose is to talk about the conditions for withdrawing troops. But everyone is ready for a decisive battle. The little emperor suddenly withdrew. Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie hurried to come to the city to see what happened again.
"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly delay the attack?" Zhang Shijie asked after seeing Li after going to the city.
"Your Majesty, war is a major event in the country, and it should not be a joke!" Wen Tianxiang also said with anger, "In the past, King You played the princes with beacons, which led to the breaking of trust in the princes and ending the destruction of the country. Your Majesty must not repeat the same mistake!"
"Secretary Wen, please do not be anxious. Your Majesty ordered the attack to be temporarily suspended. It was because of a reason..." Ying Jieyan saw that the two of them were very guilty, and immediately took over the conversation and explained.
"Oh, so that's it. This guy still has a way out. Fortunately, Your Majesty is alert. Otherwise, if the old thief leaves, those treasures will be transferred by him!" Zhang Shijie suddenly said, "Your Majesty, but the army has completed the array, just waiting for a command. If you wait for a long time and don't fight, your morale will be damaged. Please decide as soon as possible."
"Yesterday His Majesty had already stated that he would no longer discuss with him the matter of using money to atone for his sins, but now he has mentioned it again. I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Wen Tianxiang also said.
"I just said that I would like to delay the attack, but I would not fight today. I just waited for Cha Ming to escape and secretly attack immediately. I would discuss this matter again just to try to get time for blockade instead of thinking that he was a snake!" Zhao Bing saw that Wen Tianxiang was unhappy. After all, he scolded the two of them last night, and now he regretted it again. Of course, he was not happy in his heart, so he could only say kindly.
"So that's it, but now it's almost Mao's hour. The weather is getting hot and hot, and the soldiers are very tired in their clothes and armor. The trenches inside and outside the city are crisscrossing. If you want to observe the Ming Dynasty one by one, it will not be a moment of frustration. It's better to fight again tomorrow!" Zhang Shijie looked at Tianyan and said.
"Your Majesty, what the Commander Shu said is true. If you delay it for too long, it will be difficult to fight again!" Ying Jieyan nodded and said.
"No need, the attack remains unchanged today. No matter what the search is, Wu Shichu will attack!" Zhao Bing shook his head and said.
"Your Majesty, don't force yourself. It's not worth the loss if Pu Shougen leaves!" Wen Tianxiang thought that his words stimulated the little emperor and made him angry.
"No need to say too much, my intention has been decided." Zhao Bing was stubborn again and said with a tense face, "The Wen Xiang sent someone to send a letter to Pu Pie, and said that I would discuss with him personally. The Shu Zheng appeased the army and ordered the generals not to slack off. Attack immediately when the time came!"
"Abide by the sages!" The two looked at each other, bowed and bowed to each other to receive their orders.
"Your Majesty, don't act irritably!" Seeing that the two of them got off the city, Ying Jieyan stepped forward and whispered.
"Sir, don't be anxious. I have my own plans for this matter, and it's definitely not a nonsense!" Zhao Bing said with a grimace and smiled.
"Your Majesty..." Ying Jieyan stopped thinking about it. He knew this disciple too well. He would never speak out without making any plans. This is in line with being the emperor.
"Haha, sir, the tide will rise in another hour!" Zhao Bing whispered in Ying Jieyan's ear.
"So that's it. Your Majesty is really thoughtful!" Ying Jieyan thought for a moment and immediately realized the truth.
Ying Jieyan knows that cities near the sea and the river generally build moisture-proof gates. This is a one-way opening and closing valve set at the outlet of the drainage pipe channel to prevent backflow of moisture. It is a gate with a water barrier suspended on a freely rotating horizontal hinge. It can be installed at the outlet of the water outlet or at the entrance of the upstream drainage pipe channel. When the outlet of the drainage pipe channel passes into the water body affected by the tide and the water level is higher than the outlet, it is closed by the downstream tide pressure so that the tide will not flow backflow of the drainage pipe channel. When water is coming from the upstream drainage pipe channel, the water flow opens the moisture-proof door to discharge it into the water body. When there is no water in the drainage pipe channel, it is sealed by its own weight to maintain the water level height of the city's water system, that is, it will not allow the tide to enter the city, and it can also leak out the flood entering the city.
