Chapter 4 Yuan Ai Shoots Tide

Li Yuanai's feet were a little soft, and this was the first time he had seen Qiantang tide.

No wonder this grand occasion has been famous for thousands of years.

I and these soldiers should be the first to live and witness the Qiantang tide up close, right?

Li Yuanai looked at the retreating tide and looked at the soldiers around him. He found that they were no different from him. He was so scared that he was pale and supported each other. Some even sat directly on the ground and couldn't get up.

On the battlefield, they are brave warriors who are fearless.

The Tang Dynasty had no defeat in foreign countries, and the countries in all directions dared not speak out, because they were all relying on these heroic and brave men.

But no matter how brave a person is, facing natural disasters and the power of nature, it is still insignificant.

Anyone who conquers nature is all a traitor.

How small is manpower in the face of real natural disasters.

But they are facing natural wonders, not disasters.

The power of science still blocked the wave.

Although Li Yuanai ordered the soldiers to set up bows and crossbows during this period to shoot at the waves, he was just pretending without any use. After that, he stopped doing it.

Anyway, they cleared the nearby people, and the closest viewing point was a distance of more than a hundred feet away.

Such a long distance has long exceeded the visibility of human vision. Without the help of special equipment, you can see a black dot.

You can't see clearly what you do or what you do.

No one will see their cowardly appearance in the face of natural power.

The tide fades away!

Li Yuanai clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, we all cheer up and accept the cheers of the people. If the people see you so cowardly, wouldn't they look down on me, Tang soldiers?"

Some of the soldiers around him stamped their feet and some patted their faces to calm themselves down, but they complained secretly in their hearts, as if you were so good at it.

They didn't forget that when the four or five feet tall turned back, they heard the "shooting" in their ears with a tremolo.

Looking at the soldier who had calmed his mind, Li Yuanai nodded with satisfaction.

As he expected, Li Yuanai led the Tang army to withdraw back to the river embankment and was warmly welcomed by the people of Hangzhou.

Other spectators don’t think so, but the people in Hangzhou can feel the difference.

The Qiantang tide is almost on the first day of the month and is available on the fifteenth day, but it is different in size and is far from comparable to the tide on the fifteenth day of August.

The Qiantang River embankment is used to resist the tide outside August 15th.

Every August 15th tide, this kind of river embankment will definitely be destroyed by the surging tide, and local officials will devote their manpower to repair it as soon as possible.

After all, the first wave of tide is coming, and it will not be careless in the fastest time.

If there is no river embankment, the tide will directly pour into the city to form a state of waterlogging.

Therefore, after the tide of August 15th every year, it is common for people to repair the river embankment.

But the river embankment that has been destroyed every year today actually supports the attack of the wave.

The people did not know that all this was the flood control measures learned by Li Yuanai based on civil engineering, and used sandbags to build a line of defense on the river embankment to block the fierce tide.

They don't believe that only some sandbags can withstand the tide.

I really thought it was Li Yuanai who led the Tang Dynasty soldiers to repel the fierce Tide God on the birthday of Tide God.

Use the power of mortals to defeat the gods.

How majestic is this?

How can we not praise our virtues?

The people do not have that much literary talent, so they can only congratulate the soldiers who defeated the Tide God with roars and cheers.

Those literati and poets have begun to praise me, racking their brains to think of gorgeous words to praise Li Yuanai, the King of the Tang Dynasty, who has created miracles.

Especially Lu Zhaolin, the first talented man who was the first to be successful in the early Tang Dynasty, had already thought of a piece of parallel prose to praise his superior.

The poem is no longer enough to express his excitement. He wanted to write a powerful parallel prose, and he thought of the title "Yuan Ai Shooting Chao Fu".

Under the cheers of the people and the admiration of the literati and poets, Li Yuanai met with Li Mingda and Xu Long from Phoenix Mountain.

"elder brother!"

Li Mingda looked at Li Yuanai who was slowly walking towards her in armor and walked forward in surprise, and couldn't help but she couldn't help but she burst into tears.

They could not see the scene on the river embankment, but they still remember the surge that was six or seven feet high.

Even when they are far away from the Phoenix Mountain, they can feel the destructive breath of the tide. This concern is chaotic and cannot bear it.

Li Yuanai also underestimated the horror of the Qiantang tide. Now that I think about it, I am a little scared. I originally wanted to give my wife and sister a glorious image, but it almost made me lose my mind. Fortunately, they couldn't see it, but they just worried.

This tide is an image project.

But it is by no means meaningless face image.

In the hearts of all labor service, Li Yuanai led the Tang army to defeat the tide god who had harmed Hangzhou for many years.

The people of Hangzhou, local gentry, who were troubled by the tide, stood up and contributed money.

In ancient times, the place governed by the court always produced part of the gentry.

With the full support of the gentry, the efficiency of work will rise sharply.

The labor service, which was originally worried that the tide god would be back, was no longer afraid of it, and was ready to work with high morale.

Jiangnan has changed a lot, and the laborers already know Li Yuanai's style very well.

As the people of the Tang Dynasty, they did their duty as the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they could not get extra money, so many people were reluctant to participate. However, after Li Yuanai came to Jiangnan, the labor work he arranged was very rich, with meat and vegetables, and was full.

This is already very content with the unpretentious people.

Passionate is high.

Li Yuanai has a lot of experience in managing Qiantang Chao because he learned it during class.

From the Qiantang River to the Wuyue Dynasty, we took great pains to control the sea tides, from the earliest earth dams to the wooden stake stone pond method in the Yuan Dynasty, the vertical and horizontal stacking method in the Ming Dynasty, and until the emergence of the fish scale repair method.

This also arises from this when Li Yuanai used sandbags to stack vertically and horizontally to form an inclined sand embankment.

Therefore, Li Yuanai directly adopted the fish scale repair method, intending to build a sea-shaking embankment in the shape of fish scales.

The entire embankment will be like fish scales, rushing and sucking without any wrinkles. That is, extremely thick and extremely large stones are stacked vertical and horizontal scales, and the square direction is combined, with two vertical and horizontal large stones covered with two vertical and horizontal large stones. It is called double covers, five vertical and five horizontal fish scale ponds, and the inner pond is also filled with earth ponds. The foundation stone of the five vertical and five horizontal fish scales piles can resist the impact and remain unmoved even if the sea tide is large.

Of course, the biggest advantage of fish scale seawalls is that they are as high as terraces. As long as the foundation is laid, they can resist the tide that was eight months ago.

Before the August tide comes, they can ignore the arrival of the tide and continue to work on the foundation to ensure that the progress is resistant to the August tide.

The most important thing about repairing the Sea-Shaking Embankment is the first half of the month, which is the time when the foundation is the most unstable.

The power of the menstrual period in early September is still extremely impressive.

Whether it is building a house or a dam, the foundation is the most important. If the foundation is shaken by this tide, it will definitely bring disaster to future generations.

Projects of this scale will not only benefit future generations for thousands of years, but will at least be extended to local people for three hundred years.

In order to avoid such incidents, Li Yuanai used all the kerosene in stock on the construction site and started construction day and night.
