Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 209 Crushed the years and fighting spirit
During these six days and nights, all the civil and military officials in the court had their own division of labor.

Everyone works hard day and night, working intensively on the relevant matters at hand.

Earl Ying led his confidants to search for craftsmen in Bianliang City, and wanted to create nearly 100 million one-to-one dummies that were almost the same in shape and appearance as real people as soon as possible.

It can be made of leather. If the quantity of leather is not enough, it can be made up of linen.

When the craftsmen in Bianliang City first heard the work distributed by the court, they were instantly stunned.

Everyone in the world now knows that the Song-Jin war is close at hand, and the second Bianliang defense battle is about to begin.

At this juncture, what tricks was the Song Dynasty court doing?
So many dummies, what on earth are they used for?

The human wave tactics proposed by Earl Ying to Emperor Huizong were considered a secret, so no one except the civil and military officials in the court knew about it.

The current military strength of the Song Dynasty is really limited, and there is no way to complete the human sea tactic that Earl Ying thought of.

In this case, and at the same time, if you want to let the Jin army approaching the city see the majesty and shocking numbers of the Song Dynasty's troops, they can only use dummies to fill the numbers.

The expenses incurred by Earl Ying's method are countless.

It is clear that the treasury of the Song Dynasty is now empty, and they often do not spend money if they can, and try their best to save money.

But after all, Count Ying's method had been approved by Emperor Huizong, so the Song Dynasty court strongly supported Count Ying in handling this matter.

Go all out to cover these expenses.

From the very first day, Earl Ying began to recruit and hire craftsmen from all over the world, and devoted himself day and night to this huge project of making dummy.

Every day that passed, Earl Ying was sweating.

You must know that although the textile technology of the Song Dynasty was unparalleled in the land of Kyushu, it can be said that it has reached its peak in this era.

But in such a short period of time, it is necessary to create nearly a million dummies that are completely real people, one-to-one.

At a rough glance, this is almost equivalent to an impossible task.

At the same time, as the news of the loss of the Yellow River's natural barrier reached Bianliang City, Count Ying's heart was in his throat.

Just imagine what an impossible task this must be.

Earl Ying may only have nine or ten days for this huge project of manufacturing nearly a million dummies.

In nine or ten days, the Jin army will definitely attack Bianliang City, and the second Bianliang defense battle will completely break out.

Therefore, in the next few days, Earl Ying saw the soldiers of the Song Dynasty gathered in Bianliang City from all over the world every day.

These soldiers of the Song Dynasty often spoke with various accents.

Earl Ying couldn't understand what many people said.

Every day, apart from going to court, Earl Ying personally supervised the work and was extremely busy.

All matters big and small at home are left to Yue Fei and Huan'er to handle.

In fact, Earl Ying would also like to thank Yue Fei and Huan'er very much. Without them, things at home would definitely distract Earl Ying.

Basically every twelve hours passed, regardless of whether Earl Ying was sleeping, eating, or just coming down from court.

It was necessary to re-count the number of dummies just made.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three days have passed.

The actual results disappointed Earl Ying.

It was actually three-tenths less than the original plan.With the efforts of these craftsmen who were recruited and hired, a total of 12 leather dummies and linen dummies were made.

Earl Ying simply collapsed. As the saying goes, the sky is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. The wheel of time keeps rolling forward like this, crushing the years and crushing the fighting spirit.

It took three days to produce 12 dummies, and almost all the craftsmen worked hard during these three days.

When time comes to the fourth day, to the fifth day, and even to the sixth day.

Everyone's energy and physical strength have been completely exhausted, and their work efficiency cannot even be compared with the previous three days.

In other words, 12 dummies were produced in three days, and it may be impossible to reproduce them every day after that.

The result is that the speed of making dummies will become slower and slower in the future. The original plan to make 16 dummies in three days is simply an impossible task.

In desperation, Earl Ying had to spend a large amount of money to recruit a large number of craftsmen in Shouan City and Yongding City near Bianliang City.

Even if the original wages given to each craftsman were doubled, it would not be hesitated.

In this way, Earl Ying was busy back and forth, inside and outside, and another three days passed.

Although the efficiency of creating dummies has improved to a certain extent, it is still not as good as he originally imagined.

Efficiency, at best, can only be improved, but it still cannot be improved at all.

Six days and six nights passed, and Oli Bu and Jin Wushu led the Jin army to completely cross the Yellow River.

Without the slightest surprise, Jin Jun felt like he was in a no-man's land.

The Jin army was invincible along the way. Wherever they fought, the Song army almost always surrendered without a fight.

While Earl Ying was supervising the work in fear, he counted on his fingers how many days would it take for the Jin army to attack Bianliang City.

Until now, the goal of nearly one million dummies has only been achieved by only five or six tenths.

If the Jin army comes to the city in two days, what will we do then?

To be honest, he personally developed this method after a simple arrangement of troops.

He found that just five or six tenths of the dummies out of nearly a million would not be effective at all.

From that day on, Earl Ying's hands were sweating almost all the time.

At this moment, he was sitting in the hall, staring deeply at the dummies that filled the hall, gritted his teeth and said, "Hurry up, hurry up!"

At this moment, Han Shizhong walked in quickly from outside, laughed at him and said, "Brother Ying, who do you think is here?"

Earl Ying suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Han Shizhong's finger.

I saw Pan Jinlian, Pang Chunmei, Li Ping'er, and Meng Yulou walking in quickly from outside with food boxes of different sizes in their hands.

Counting the time, Earl Ying had not returned home for seven days until now.

Earl Ying was unkempt and had stubble all over his face.

He smiled uncontrollably at the four women and said, "This place is dirty and messy. What are you doing here?"

Pan Jinlian smiled brightly and walked over one step ahead of the other three women.

She snuggled into Earl Ying's arms and said with a soft smile: "Our sisters are not other people's wives. You have been staying in this hellish place and never come home, so of course you have to come."
