Chapter 954 Eight Dragon Seismograph
"kill!"
Zheng Zhilong rode the wind and waves, led 300 small boats, and braved the arrow rain of the Goryeo army and rushed to the shallows.
The arrow tower set up on the shore and the archers in Goryeo countries shot arrows, covering Zheng Zhilong's fleet!
An arrow shot the cowhide shield in Zheng Zhilong's hand, almost shooting through the shield!
Hundreds of Zheng's navy soldiers were shot and killed by arrows and fell into the sea.
Three hundred small boats were stranded near the seaside, Zheng Zhilong jumped into the shallows, and attacked the earth wall and arrow tower set up by Li Chenggui with a knife and shield!
More than two thousand Zheng family navy soldiers followed Zheng Zhilong to attack!
"They actually got ashore!"
"Guard the earth wall!"
The soldiers of the Goryeo Kingdom panicked and quickly shot arrows at Zheng Zhilong and others.
However, Zheng Zhilong made a move and attacked under the earth wall at all costs.
The Zheng family navy soldiers stacked arhats, climbed up the earth wall with bare hands, and chopped over the defenders of Goryeo!
The earthen wall established by the Goryeo Kingdom was less than three meters high, and one of the earthen walls was captured by Zheng Zhilong.
Seeing that Zheng Zhilong had a foothold on the shore, Zheng He ordered the entire army to attack, and tens of thousands of troops of Fubo's army landed on the shore one after another.
"The army of Goryeo, but that's it!"
Zheng Zhilong pulled out the Yanling Sword, and a military general from Goryeo was killed by him.
The archers of the Goryeo Kingdom on the arrow tower were chopped over by Zheng Zhilong's navy soldiers and rolled down from the arrow tower.
The army of Goryeo Kingdom that opened Beijing gradually reacted, and Goryeo Kangxian King Li Chenggui personally assembled 200,000 troops to fight against Zheng Zhilong!
Li Chenggui is far more talented than other military generals of the Goryeo Kingdom. He concentrated 50,000 archers, invested million arrows, and destroyed tens of Liaodong troops!
The two armies use the earth wall as the border and tug of warping back and forth!
In the Jixia Academy in Xiacheng, Zhuge Liang was observing a magical prop.
This is a special treasure created by Zhang Heng, an ancient Eastern Han scientist recruited by Chu Tian - a seismometer.
The size of the seismometer that Zhang Heng spent a year to create was beyond everyone's imagination.
This seismometer is one meter tall, made of fine copper, with eight dragons outside and toads below. The surface is carved with seal script mountain turtles, birds and beasts, like giant tripods.
Zhuge Liang stood in front of the Eight Dragon Seismometer and seemed insignificant.
After the Eight Dragon Seismometer was created by Zhang Heng, it became the treasure of the Jixia Academy.
Suddenly, the sound of wooden gears biting inside the Eight Dragon Seismometer was shocked.
The Eight Dragon Seismometer is effective, indicating that an earthquake is about to occur!
“Incredible…”
Zhuge Liang witnessed the seismometer shaking with his own eyes. The dragon head in the "shaking" direction spit out an iron ball and fell into the toad's mouth. Three seal scripts "Youbeiping" appeared on the toad's back.
"There will be a dragon in Youbeiping County. I will immediately inform the prefect of Youbeiping to prevent and provide disaster relief in time!"
There is a minor official from the Imperial Heavenly Supervisory Bureau in Jixia Academy, who is specifically responsible for guarding the seismometer.
The seismometer was just cast and soon showed its magical ability - predicting earthquakes.
Even the young Zhuge Liang, who created the seismometer, was incredible to him by Zhang Heng.
Not only Zhuge Liang, but also scholars and great scholars from Jixia Academy were surprised.
But they want to know more whether the seismometer can really predict earthquakes accurately.
If an earthquake can be accurately predicted, although the predicted location is not detailed, the losses caused by earthquakes can be reduced.
The Eight Dragon Seismometer is already one of the magical artifacts of the Empire.
When Xian Yufu, the prefect of Youbeiping County, received the news from Xiacheng, he couldn't help but wonder: "Is there really anyone in the world who can predict the earth dragon?"
Xian Yufu thought it was incredible, but as the prefect of Youbeiping County appointed by Chu Tian after he unified the north, he had to obey the orders of the Xia Palace, prepare food, and order the counties to evacuate the population.
On the third day when the seismometer issued the sign, there was indeed an earthquake in a city built by a player lord in Youbei County. One city wall and a thousand houses collapsed, but only three casualties were killed or killed.
"It turns out to be true... Prince Xia's Mansion is really a magical plan!"
Xian Yufu led officials to provide relief to the disaster and found that the Xia Palace had predicted the earthquake in advance and was more loyal to the Xia Palace.
News of the earthquake in Youbeiping County came back to Xiacheng, and Jixia Academy was in an uproar!
The Eight Dragon Earth Movement meter really predicted the movement of the Earth Dragon!
Technology is the primary productivity!
A group of great scholars had to admit that the Mohist school had the value of existence.
The Mo family members like to fiddle with these machinery. They are considered a group of ancient craftsmen, which makes it easier for scientists to be born, but unfortunately they have never been valued by rulers.
The Eight Dragon Seismometer guarded the Han Empire, which reduced the casualties of thousands every year.
The Eight Dragon Seismometer has therefore become a holy object in the Jixia Academy. From time to time, NPC scholars came to burn incense and kneel down, completely treating the Eight Dragon Seismometer as a god.
The belief in ancient China was also very simple and pragmatic.
Zhang Heng also has his own place in Jixia Academy.
Zhang Heng spent a year manufacturing the Eight Dragon Seismometer and is currently manufacturing the armillary sphere.
The armillary sphere is also a special treasure, and its ability is even more magical than the Eight Dragon Earthquake. It can predict other natural disasters, such as snow disasters, meteorites, and floods. The armillary sphere takes three years.
...
"Lord, an earthquake occurred in Youbeiping County, one died and two were injured."
"There is a small band of bandits in Baibo Valley, Hedong County, causing trouble, with about hundreds of people, and harming one side."
"The Yellow River in Wei County was flooded and flooded. At least five counties were affected, destroying tens of thousands of houses and displaced 100,000 people."
Chu Tian gathered troops in Xuchang to prepare to attack Nanyang. Fang Xuanling, as the Minister of State, reported to Chu Tian about the natural disasters in the territory.
In addition to fighting and killing, Chu Tian, as the biggest lord, also has to face cumbersome internal affairs.
The territory is too large, and various disasters are coming one after another.
The earthquake in Youbeiping County has reduced the damage caused by the earthquake due to the existence of the Balong seismometer.
"Order the prefect of Hedong County to send troops to attack the remnants of Baibo's army and kill his leader. As for the Yellow River..."
The flooding of the Yellow River is a natural disaster in all dynasties. It is not uncommon and it also has great destructive power.
Every time the Yellow River floods, at least one million silver must be invested to control the Yellow River.
"Su Shi was appointed as the prefect of Wei County to manage floods. The state treasury allocated funds, Li Mi coordinated the matter, and Fan Zhongyan became the governor of Jizhou, and worked with Su Shi to quell the floods."
Chu Tian thought for a moment and sent Fan Zhongyan and Su Shi, who had the ability to control water, to Wei County to rectify the flood.
At this time, the Yellow River flood occurred in the Weijun area, which had a great impact.
The capital of Wei County is Yecheng, a giant city with a population of one million.
If Yecheng is damaged by floods, it will have an impact on the tax revenue in Jizhou.
When Chu Tian attacked Yecheng, he once broke up and flooded the city, but now Wei County is once again affected by floods.
"In addition, we will gather all the talents in the world to manage water. Anyone with the ability to manage water will be appointed regardless of their origin, and will have high officials and generous salaries."
Chu Tian took advantage of this Yellow River flood to issue a recruitment order in Xuchang.
There were once a large number of lords in the north. They recruited a lot of special talents, and there were always talents who were good at water control.
Chu Tian believed that the northern territory was too large, and no one knew whether there were civil officials and military generals, and special talents, Shen Yin.
Small people are hidden in the wild and large in the city. Some talents are not necessarily willing to become officials, but choose to hide their names.
It is not easy for this lord to fight wars and control floods.
"In Hedong, Guanzhong and Xiliang, because of the quelling of the war in Guanzhong, there were wars and chaos, and heroes gathered to build forts to protect themselves, avoiding chaos and corvee labor. If all forts were demolished, the population would be obtained by a million."
Fang Xuanling reported another thing to Chu Tian, who was about to fight.
