Chapter 014: Step by step
I have to say that Li Ye is thinking too much.
Even if Sun Chuanting was beheaded by Chongzhen, he probably wouldn't have followed a rebel like Li Ye.
Of course, Li Ye actually knew this very well in his heart.
However, his desire for like-minded confidants has not changed. A person is too lonely after all. He needs friends and brothers.
Although the tenants are easy to impress, these people are illiterate and cannot share the same language with them.
The most important thing is that you often don’t have the ability to respond to the situation.
The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and he cannot fully control it, nor can he command it anytime and anywhere. This requires some military talents.
Also, the peasant army has its biggest flaw, which is not disciplined and can easily be met. Without lofty goals, perhaps if a county town is robbed, someone will run away with money.
Therefore, if he wants to train the peasant army into elite soldiers, it will take time and also require strict discipline.
It was not until the sun set and the sky darkened that Li Ye stopped thinking.
At this time, Li Geng slowly walked over.
"Dad, have you taken the medicine?"
Seeing his father coming, Li Ye asked.
The lights at the door of the container room illuminated the woods and Li Ye's face. Li Geng looked at his son and replied, "I ate, what do you think of alone?"
Li Ye smiled, "I think about the future, think about the future."
Li Geng also smiled and a gentle smile, "Take it slow, many things cannot be achieved overnight. Set some goals in your heart, so there will be directions.
With direction, you won’t get lost, and you will know where to go and how to go…”
Li Ye was very surprised. He didn't expect that this father would speak so reasonably, and he seemed to see through his confusion.
"Dad, I understand."
Honest people have the wisdom of honest people, and these are the ways to survive.
"Well, don't worry too much, go step by step."
Li Geng patted Li Ye on the shoulder, and after that, he turned around to rest, but Li Ye understood that he had been a little anxious these days.
So I didn't think about these things, and took it step by step.
First get the things in front of you ready, settle down, and then think about other things.
When his family rested, Li Ye began to build the city wall again. Tonight he began to really build the walls. He dug a cave before, and the huge rocks accumulated in the space were placed in the ground trough piece by piece.
There is no mortar, such huge stones can be placed in the middle of the gap, which is very stable.
Such operations seem to make him more and more proficient in the control of the power of thought and space.
After digging so many caves, the huge stones obtained were consumed without even getting the foundation. It can be seen that the stone required for this city wall was built.
In the second half of the night, Li Ye began to dig a cave again, and opened a huge cave hall on the cliff west of Toutuo Peak. On the west side of the cave hall, there were two meters of walls, and some square windows were also opened.
In this way, the light in the entire cave hall will be very good during the day.
Of course, considering the structural stability, there are also many stone pillars in the cave hall, with diameters of about two meters.
The area of a cave hall is controlled by Li Ye at 1,000 square meters, and then the next cave hall. Five such cave halls can be created in the entire West Cliff.
The height of the cave hall is kept at five meters, which is very empty and does not feel depressed.
In the next few days, Li Ye stopped thinking about it and built a mountain village peacefully. He also opened four cave halls on the cliff to the east.
The city walls have begun to take shape, but the stones are still insufficient, so Li Ye went down the mountain to other peaks to quarre off.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, ten days passed, everything in the valley was very calm, and there was no disturbance from the outside world.
The city wall of Toutuo Peak was finally topped off, and the height of the mountain reached nearly twenty meters, and the width above the city wall was nearly six meters.
They are all made of huge stones. Unlike other city walls, there are only bricks on both sides of the inside and outside, and the inside is filled with soil.
Such a city wall is difficult to break even the artillery of this era.
What's more, artillery is not easy to transport in such a big mountain.
The only weakness is that the city gate can only be made of giant trees. However, Li Ye also considered this and turned the road to the city gate into a step slope of less than two meters.
In this way, it is basically impossible for the enemy to break through the city gate.
The real easy to defend but difficult to attack made the terrain very cleverly use, and Li Ye also began to fill the city wall, making the platform and the city wall connect a flat ground.
If the soil filling is completed, the platform will be several times larger in an instant. Tens of thousands of people can be built in such an area.
With the cave, it seems that it is not impossible to station tens of thousands of troops in this place.
Sure enough, many things will only be different when they reach this point, just like this filling area, which Li Ye did not consider before.
Only after the city wall was built did he realize that it could be filled.
Of course, the project volume is also very terrifying. Even if Li Ye has space, he will not be able to finish it in one or two days.
Fortunately, it was not very urgent. These days, men were busy making huge city gates, and adding blacksmith furnaces to make the iron parts needed for the city gates.
At this time, Li Ye discovered that among these tenants, there were many talents.
Yes, the poorest people in this era are all craftsmen, and the richest people are all literati. They are more comfortable than craftsmanship.
Such a system is unreasonable in itself.
When a literati gets fame, he can not pay taxes, which makes land annexation uncontrollable and the state taxes are lost, so he increases taxes, forming a vicious cycle.
The unlucky one is the people at the bottom, and they don’t charge commercial taxes. If they collect, they are competing for profit with the people, but this people are not the real people.
Such a system will make people wonder if the country is not destroyed.
The deformed economic model, the prototype period of capitalism.
The common people have been rebelling for so many years, and Emperor Chongzhen's civil and military officials are still raising taxes, which is a miracle.
Li Ye also hated this deeply, and had no fondness for the literati who talked about this era, or the famous scholars of the great scholars.
Just like the great masters in the temple now, they do not have the ability to govern the country, but they are unmatched in the ability to fight and calculate intra-fighting.
Internal fighting and internal fighting and external fighting and outside fighting.
The same was true for the Hongguang regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty after Chongzhen. Under such a situation, Li Ye felt that it was incredible for this when he read the information.
This is the result of the continuation of the party's struggle, so these literati deserve to die.
Even if you ignore the big things, no matter how knowledgeable you are, it will be a disaster.
In other words, the higher the knowledge, the greater the harm.
It is said that Wei Zhongxian is a bad guy, but Li Ye believes that Chongzhen's killing Wei Zhongxian was a failure. A literati from various parties who lacked checks and balances would be a disaster.
