Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 217
The Little Ice Age in the Ming Dynasty was very scary.Not to mention Jiangnan, snow disasters can occur even in Guangdong, and the weather is as cold as can be imagined.

Now it's just the new year, the weather is cold, and the icicles can be as thick as an arm.

Those Qing troops were also unlucky.

In such a climate, the canal would definitely freeze, but because the Dean Bridge was built quite high, when they jumped off, some of the weak spots in the ice were smashed open.These people rolled into the water, although they could extinguish the fire because of the closed environment, but the weather was really cold. When they fell into the water, their body temperature quickly lost. , body temperature loss, limbs stiff, no matter how difficult it is to climb out.

So in such weather, relying on water to consolidate defense is a very good choice.In particular, the Qing army had Hongyi cannons, and Zuo Fu had watched a documentary before: The U.S. military once whimsically built an aircraft carrier made of ice.

This idea later failed due to various reasons, but the thick ice layer can reduce the impact of shells, bullet impact, and change the law of its trajectory has been confirmed.

Today's Changzhou city has been re-reinforced by Zuo Fu with cement and steel bars, and now it is being re-reinforced with water and using the conditions of nature. It is useless to think that even if the Qing army brings in a few more Hongyi cannons.

Not to mention, at this moment, the effective range of the Hongyi Cannon is only 500 meters. If they want to directly attack Changzhou City, they must be very close to Changzhou City to achieve a certain effect.And once they got close, Zoff could attack them again.

The range of their thunder cannons and trebuchets is indeed not as good as that of Hongyi cannons, but they can also build fortifications beside the moat, push the distance, and kill the approaching Qing army.

And to build fortifications on the moat, it still depends on water.Now that the Qing army has been killed by the other side, only a thousand people are left, and the main general has been captured alive, so they don't dare to attack the city lightly at the moment, and they will definitely wait for the reinforcements to arrive before taking any action.

And this time is enough for Zuo Fu to make arrangements.

There is also a river in the city, and the river is directly dug in the city to get ice, and then transported to the vicinity of the city gate.

The enthusiasm of the citizens to work is highly inflated!

They don't want to lose their current life, so they have to work hard now!

A large amount of ice was transported near the city gate, and a group of men began to deliver food on tricycles.

Time is tight and we can't let everyone sit down and have a good meal, so today there are only big meat buns and a tea egg.As for water, it can only be provided by nearby residents.

These residents also showed extremely high sentiments. The women boiled water at home, and after the water was boiled, they called another group of women to go to the river to deliver water.

A group of residents saw that the magistrate of the county actually gave out meat buns and tea eggs to eat, so the work was even harder!What is this suffering?Why don't you just work? !The real suffering is not seeing hope, hunger will rivet the whole person's thinking, that is suffering, that is despair!

Now that the conditions are good, if there are still people complaining, they should be beaten to death!

After eating meat buns, tea eggs, and drinking hot water, everyone got busy again.They had to pile up the ice outside the city before the arrival of the Tartar reinforcements, and then take advantage of the gap between the Tartars' rectification to transport all the ice out.

Everything is going on tensely, and the observers on the tower have been observing the movement outside the city.

And until it got dark, no Tazi reinforcements arrived.After reporting the situation to Zuo Fu, Zuo Fu sneered, "Whether he comes or not, it's best if he doesn't come, isn't it better if we build an ice wall at night?!"

At night, the temperature plummeted, and the citizens who had been busy all day were already very tired.But they did not choose to go home.There is no place for people to slack off when it comes to life and death.Didn't you see the adults fight a battle, are you still here to command?
They are all good men, they can't be inferior to a girl's family, right?

The night was getting darker, Zuo Fu looked up at the sky, but there was nothing in the dark sky.

Tomorrow will not be a good day.

It's not a good day!At this time, bad weather is good for them!
Two planks were erected, separating a road.Several water cannons were lifted up. Amidst the exclamation of the citizens, the water cannon sprayed water, which soon soaked the road.

Soon, it was frozen here.The ice blocks that were transported to the vicinity of the city were transported out of the city along this ice road.

The scouts on the tower used night vision binoculars to observe the movement of the Qing army, and pressed the walkie-talkie from time to time to report the situation.

Perhaps the fighting during the day made this group extremely exhausted, except for those patrolling, the Qing army did not send anyone close to reconnaissance.

Of course, it may also be because they are afraid of the power of "karma fire", so Zuo Fu reckoned that they should not dare to come again tonight.

All of this allowed Zoff's plan to unfold smoothly.

The light of the flashlight was minimized. Soldiers and citizens shouldered their shoulders and piled up ice cubes, poured water on them, and waited for God to make the ice wall stronger.

In order to fight against the artillery, they also built some igloos according to the blueprint given by Zuofer, which allowed the soldiers to avoid the artillery shells. After the shelling, they could fight back.

After finishing these, it was already late at night, and the city was bustling again at this time.All the women got up, and according to the plan, they would complete the pouring of the city in the second half of the night.

This is not Zoffe's request, but these women themselves.When these women made this request, Zuo Fu felt deeply shocked!

Many daughters of rich and noble families also ran out. Although they have bound feet and cannot do heavy work like working people, they can boil water and serve tea and do things within their power.

This kind of spirit shocked Zuofu!But what Zuofu didn't know was that it was precisely because she took the lead in fighting the Qing army without fear of death that the blood in these women's hearts was aroused.

Everyone has blood.This kind of thing is not just for men!

They usually live a life of supporting their husbands and raising their children, never thinking that there is another way for women to live.But when Zuo Fu came to Changzhou, their cognition changed!
Zuofu not only became the first female parent official in ancient times, but she also dared to fight against men!Women fighting against men, although it sounds a bit rebellious, but when she saw those men who underestimated her being dealt with one by one, she felt a little bit refreshed.

And when they saw Zuo Fu fighting with a group of men holding a steel knife, the blood in their bodies was also ignited!
Although they couldn't become a woman like Zuo Fu, they were proud of Zuo Fu!
Women are not inferior to men, if women want to, they can also make a difference!Just think of Qin Liangyu, just like Zuo Fu!
The men have worked hard all day, and they don't know what will happen tomorrow. These women have hands and feet, and they can do the same thing as watering the city!
If Changzhou is destroyed, these women will only be more miserable than the men!
Can't lose!
Must win!
　I went to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles for a meeting this afternoon, and after the meeting, I had a dinner with my friends from the Writers Association. I came back late, everyone forgive me!
