Zhao Bing's reward for the army this time is not bad. Even if it is distributed equally to each officer and soldier, he has fifty loyalty. Those who have made special contributions not only have titles, but also receive a reward that is enough to make a poor family become a wealthy family. The reason why he did this is certainly not only inspiring the army soldiers to fight bravely, but also has the intention to win people's hearts.

Although Zhao Bing first came to this world, his mother had a low status in the inner court, and she had no foundation and could be abandoned as a victim of political struggle at any time. Moreover, in troubled times, the country was lost and the emperor was abducted. A prince who lost his protection was not much different from a stray dog. When he survived in a dangerous situation, he used the method to "spread wealth". He would share the rewards with the army with money. One was to increase cohesion, and the other was to avoid someone's life being lost.

Then as the foundation gradually became stronger, his tradition did not change. He distributed the money he had collected with the people, improved their lives and improved their treatment. He continued to expand the scope of grace, often reducing taxes from the people, clearing up heavy taxes. He was as handsome as a chivalrous and treated money as dirt, and caring for the people around him in every way, seizing his wife and children, paving the way for them. At first, what he did was done was out of survival instinct, in order to find the support of some people and staying in troubled times. Later, he still insisted on his original intention, but his purpose was not so simple and he had more utilitarianism.

But the reason for this is that he read too much and his thoughts have become complicated. Zhao Bing was taught by Ying Jieyan and others. They are all Confucian scholars and are proficient in historical books. Although he did not learn all the essence of his studies, he also learned some basic knowledge. What many Confucians did not expect was that, as a person who received modern education, Zhao Bing had his own understanding and perspective on historical figures and events, which gave birth to different ideas.

Everyone knows that when the Han Dynasty was established, there were two famous figures. One was Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. He was born in a humble background, full of hooligan habits, and his appearance was not so handsome that he was circulated. He only had a golden single "The Song of the Great Wind"; the other was Han Xin, a genius known as "unparalleled national sage" and "extremely powerful and unparalleled". He and Zhang Liang compiled military books, prefaced military tactics, and wrote three chapters of "Han Xin".

Whether in terms of appearance, talent, and strategy, Liu Bang and Han Xin are not on the same level, but as a result, Liu Bang ascended the throne, but Han Xin failed to rebel and became a ghost under the knife. There are many words about Liu Bang's success, but Zhao Bing thought that he could laugh to the end because the biggest difference between him and Han Xin is that he is a superstar with both strength and traffic, and he has countless fans no matter where he goes. Even Ding Gong, under Xiang Yu, is worried that he will be ridiculed by the world. Zhao Bing analyzed and summarized that Liu Bang used countless fans to win these three tricks:

First of all, Liu Bang took the route of the Ranger traffic. When the Ranger is first, he must be able to cover up, and have dinner when the younger brothers are hungry, and can help fans get through trouble. The negative example of this is Han Xin, and Liu Bang is a model of the Ranger boss. Liu Bang has no mine at home, and his elder brother and father have to work hard in the fields, but Liu Bang is willing to spend all his money to entertain his younger brother. He can burn money, but it is not easy to burn it out. The bosses need to be able to recognize people and will win people's hearts at the lowest price.

Chai Jin in the story of "Water Margin" is a typical person who is stupid and has a lot of money. He took Wu Song in, but he disdained Wu Song; on the contrary, Song Jiang ate Chai Jin's manor and spent Chai Jin's manor, which convinced Wu Song in Chai Jin's manor. The advantage of Liu Bang's burning money is that he became the pavilion chief, responsible for grassroots public security, and had good relations with all classes in Pei County. Opening the list of founding heroes of the Western Han Dynasty, we will find that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the cadres of Pei County had Liu Bang's old iron from top to bottom. Pei County's chief official Xiao He, prison officer Cao Shenpei County and others all had a close relationship with Liu Bang. There were very few things that Liu Bang could not do in Pei County, because Liu Bang could cover him, so he became the leader of the Rangers in Fengpei area.

In addition, being a national traffic superstar of course requires a lot of money. At that time, the place with the most money and grain was the top ten grain warehouses left by Qin Shihuang. In troubled times, grain was a hard currency that was stronger than housing prices. These ten grain warehouses were Xingyang Cang, Bashang Cang, Liyang Cang, Chenliu Cang, Wancheng Cang, Xianyang Cang, Qidi Huang Cang, Langya Cang and Lian Cang and Chengdu Cang in Sichuan.

In March of the third year of Qin II, Liu Bang captured the Chenliu Cang with the help of Li Shiqi. Two months later, Liu Bang won the Wancheng Cang with the encouragement of Zhang Liang. After Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, he won the three major warehouses of Bashang, Liyang, Xianyang, and five super large granaries, which allowed Liu Bang's troops to rise from more than 10,000 to 10,000. After the Chu-Han battle began, the Chengdu Cang in Sichuan and Ao Cang in Xingyang also became the "fund pool" for Liu Bang to burn money. Liu Bang therefore mastered seven of the top ten granaries and had enough capital to attract fans for himself.

The third characteristic of Liu Bang attracting fans is that he rewarded him generously. The heroic minister who gave Liu Bang a total of more than 200,000 households were taxed from Liu Bang. Of course, he was much inferior to Kublai Khan today, but he was very generous than the previous generation. In the sixth year of Emperor Gaozu's total population of less than 3 million households, and Liu Bang directly managed 900,000 households, but he rewarded one-quarter of his "net assets".

Liu Bang was not stingy with rewards for ordinary soldiers. Those soldiers with military achievements and titles received land, tax exemption and other privileges, and returned to his hometown to be middle-class. Liu Bang was very generous when he had money and grain. When he was stationed in Bashang, his elders gave him wine and meat. He was very rich and said that he would not have to worry about food and drink when he had Bashang Cang. This action won him the reputation of "elderly".

Therefore, Zhao Bing felt that although Liu Bang likes to scold people and has a low background, he is willing to treat people with gifts and generous to the people, so he soon has millions of fans who never leave him. He feels that he is still doing something different from him in this regard. Of course, there are many reasons, but there is also the potential to tap. With the beginning of the counterattack, the resistance encountered will be greater, which requires more incentive mechanisms, and wealth is the most direct and realistic. He extorted a lot of wealth from Tuohuan, so naturally he doesn't have to be stingy...

The next morning, the army moved forward to attack the city according to the order, and Zhao Bing also moved to Bijia Mountain, Jiacheng to watch the battle. Yangzhou City was surrounded by water on three sides, and only the North City Gate faced Jiacheng directly without building a bridge to attack the city directly. Therefore, the North Gate was used as the main attack direction, and the other three gates also arranged troops and built fortifications to prevent the enemy from breaking through. The main attack was the one army and one division. They performed poorly in the previous battle in Guazhou Town, and the two chief officials were dismissed and regarded as a shame by the entire army. Now they are the main attacker.

When conquering a strong city in the era of cold weapons, there were not many ways to face the towering city walls. Generally, there were only three choices, which were nothing more than digging tunnels. Then, it was to find a way to use ladders, siege cars, building cars and other equipment to exceed the city walls that were more than ten meters high, otherwise you would have to destroy the city walls face to face. Obviously, digging tunnels is the most powerful way to reduce casualties.

In addition to allowing troops to break into the city defense system, excavation tunnels can also be dug under the foundation of the city wall. First, support the excavated part with wooden boards, and then set fire to the brackets. Once the foundation is loosened, the city wall will collapse, and the siege troops can swarm up and rush into the gap to expand the results. However, there are many rivers and rivers around Yangzhou City, with high groundwater levels, and water can be seen by digging two feet of the ground. It is not realistic to dig tunnels.

Of course, the Song army equipped artillery, and bombarding the city walls with artillery was also an option. But Zhao Bing knew that Yangzhou City was outsourced bricks. In this era without cement, the city was built with glutinous rice juice and egg white as adhesives, and its firmness was not inferior to the current cement. In addition, the artillery brigades participating in the war had returned to the rescue, and the military artillery regiments were not equipped with heavy artillery. If they wanted to destroy the city with artillery, they would not be able to do so in a short time. Therefore, the Song army chose to dig the city foundation directly and then break the city by blasting.

In order to reduce the casualties caused during siege, it is necessary to conduct artillery in advance to reduce the enemy's combat effectiveness. With a command, rocket launchers and artillery arranged on the artillery began to fire, in addition to suppressing the defenders at the city, they also killed and injured the enemy in the city camp. After the shelling began, more than ten front cars pushed out of the formation and headed straight to the city.

The first car was developed to excavate tunnels in the Song Dynasty. The structure was very complex and divided into three parts: "Screen Card", "Screen Car" and "Xu Pan". The bottom of the car is empty, so the crew can push the cart inside. The screen sign is at the front end of the train, with protection at the front and sides of the car, which is equivalent to the exit of the entire group of first carts. In the case of enemy concerns, the screen sign and the first cart are immediately connected to provide good protection for the siege troops. When the tunnel is excavated similarly, the siege troops will gather in the car. After the tunnel is dug through, they will quickly push the screen sign away, and the troops can exit the car to attack.

As for the head chariot in the middle section, the body is generally nine feet long, seven feet wide, seven feet high, and eight feet high in the back. The roof is equipped with an entrance and exit of one or two feet wide, in addition to providing access, it can also become a fire outlet for siege troops to fight back. In addition, when digging tunnels, the head chariot is stationary and is easily attacked by enemy gunstones or combustion weapons. Therefore, the roof defense is particularly strong. A layer of leather fence is added to the wooden pointed cover, and then a wall of more than one foot thick is covered, and then a leather fence is covered. The entrance and exit of the roof, and the pre-prepared mud bucket, a slurry and a mud dehydration bag can also be quickly extinguished.
