Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 214 The Building Will Fall

After 13 days of hard work, the number of leather dummies and linen dummies has now reached 75.

At first glance, this number is very considerable, and it can already exert a certain deterrent effect on the Jin Army.

However, it is actually very different from the idea in Earl Ying's mind.

Earl Ying was in an extremely depressed mood, because four hours ago, a large-scale military exercise was held in the inner city of Bianliang City.

Earl Ying placed these leather dummies and cloth dummies among them, and was shocked to find that there were large vacancies in four city gates.

In other words, the number of dummies is far from enough, if the number of dummies is only one-tenth or two-tenths less than what Earl Ying had ideally calculated.

Then, Earl Ying can also use more clever arrangements to make it less stretched than it is now.

After returning to the workshop from the battle, Earl Ying was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, running quickly in all directions in the hall, spinning around in a hurry.

He quickly called together his team of craftsmen and asked how many dummies were needed at least.

The artisan team made a rough calculation with their fingers and said that there was at least [-] short.

Earl Ying thought to himself. Thirteen days passed, and the craftsman team produced a total of 75 dummies.

Now the difference is at least 80, so the total should be [-] dummies.

However, the difference now is only [-].

For a moment, Earl Ying felt deeply embarrassed and extremely embarrassed.

He slowly covered his head, squatted down, and said with a lonely face: "75 have been made, and the result is only [-]!"

"What should I do? Oh my God, isn't this over?"

The craftsman team was also at a loss. Everyone had no idea and was in a panic.

Now the Jin army is about to approach the city, and once the second Bianliang defense battle is over, the flames of war are completely ignited.

If the number of dummies on Earl Ying's side is not enough, then even if it completely hinders the Song Dynasty, it will definitely be difficult to recover.

Think about it, even if the King of Heaven descends to earth, he will not be able to solve this thorny problem.

It is said that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who gathered in Bianliang City from all over the world totaled 19.

Of course, this is already a super-level performance from all over the Song Dynasty.

Even many cities with relatively poor economic conditions have sent their kitchen leaders to Bianliang City.

There were a total of 14 Jin soldiers and horses who went south to attack the Song Dynasty this time.

Between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, this was a contest between 19 and 14.

All fools know that it is impossible for Da Song to win this battle.

If the Song Dynasty doubled its military strength and fought the Jin Kingdom with twice the number as the Jin Kingdom, there would still be a certain chance of victory.

Not to mention that among the 14 people in the Jin Kingdom, only [-] to [-] were Jurchens. The rest were all composed of Han people and Bohai people who were originally in the Liao Kingdom.

The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were already extremely weak. In addition, the first defense battle of Bianliang had just passed not long ago, and they suffered heavy losses, and they had not yet recovered their strength.

Moreover, there was no time to reorganize and train the soldiers in each department, and there was no time to arrest them.You know, now all the countries in the world still think that the Song Dynasty has millions of mercenaries. Once the Jin army comes to the city, this lie will be broken.

Not only is it embarrassing, but it will also be ridiculed by all countries in the world.

Let’s not even mention the Jin Kingdom or Tubo for now.

Just talking about small countries like Xixia and Dali, once they mock the Song Dynasty, they are enough to make the Song Dynasty drink a pot.

Emperor Huizong was also quite restless. He used the inventory in the treasury to fully support Earl Ying's creation of dummies.

In the end, Earl Ying and his team not only failed to complete the plan as originally conceived.

Instead, there was still a certain amount missing, leaving several city gates empty.

Although Emperor Huizong had some complaints about Count Ying, the situation was so critical at the moment that the Emperor simply couldn't find the thought to blame Count Ying.

Starting from the Mao Pai hour on this day, all the ministries in the DPRK and the Central Government began to prepare urgently to respond at any time.

The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were performing their respective duties, waiting for the moment when the storm would fall.

In the inner city of Bianliang, at the Earl's Mansion.

It is said that Jin Lian and other women have been haunted since they returned home from the temporary craftsman's workshop built by Count Ying four days ago.

Although compared with the Song-Jin war, Earl Ying's task of making a dummy is just a drop in the ocean.

But the burden on Earl Ying's shoulders was too heavy and the pressure was great. Every day, the project could not be as Earl Ying had imagined before. It was really far from it.

But the ladies were determined not to be able to help Earl Ying, so after returning from the craftsman's workshop, Jin Lian and others stayed at home and did not go out.

During these four days, there happened to be two more festivals. Emperor Huizong sent his palace officials to give some generous gifts to celebrate the festival.

Pang Chunmei looked at the generous gifts sent by Emperor Huizong, shook her head and smiled bitterly, saying: "It's hard enough for the emperor to be a saint. We have already reached this juncture, and we still have these trivial matters in our hearts."

"Actually, to be honest, if possible, I really want your Majesty to send the officials back to Qinghe County. The war is now critical. If I return to Qinghe County, I won't have these worries and worries."

Li Ping'er said: "Now that the government is employing people, how can it be possible to send you back to Qinghe County?"

"To be honest, the only hope now is that a miracle will happen so that the official's dummy manufacturing project can go as he planned."

Pan Jinlian raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "As he planned? That is simply impossible. It's not like you didn't see it in the workshop."

"Those craftsmen have already tried their best. Every three days, they can only complete one-third of the planned quantity at most."

"In my opinion, this is simply an impossible task. Let's give up. Let's go back and collectively apologize to the Holy One. The Holy One has always favored officials and is a fan of officials. He is determined not to surrender. It’s the fault of the officials.”

Chunmei, Ping'er, and Yulou laughed tremblingly and said, "Haha, the strength of breastfeeding."

While the women were laughing, Huan'er ran over quickly with Ying'er in tow.

As soon as she came closer, Huan'er looked at Jin Lian nervously and asked: "Grandma, I heard that King Kang Zhao Gou is recruiting troops in Xiangzhou and will be back in the next two days, but why is there no news until now? "

Jin Lian looked at Huan'er carefully and asked, "Of course King Kang has some plans. Why are you so anxious?"
