The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1349 An Encounter in Prison

"Haha, I think that I, Fan Ruoshui, think that I have the talents of the world, and I want to assist the Ming Lord and help the country, but it is a pity that I have ended up like this. If I am given another chance, I will definitely destroy the Tang Dynasty."

Fan Ruoshui in the prison is very angry at this time, he doesn't need to use his own tricks for a woman, there is a country whose monarch is like this, a typical love of the country and not of beauty.

The results of my hard work for such a long time have not been dedicated to Li Yu, and he was locked up by him. This is really the biggest insult to Fan Ruoshui.

And Li Yu didn't say anything else, there is one thing, that is, you Fan Ruoshui actually robbed me of a woman, which is destined to make it impossible for me to use you.

"Li Yu, I am from the Tang Dynasty, and I have always wanted to work for the Tang Dynasty. I didn't expect to end up like this. Hahaha, you are indeed the monarch of the subjugated country. Hahaha, my hard-working Jiangfang map is useless." Fan Ruoshui said with a face. Desperate look.

At that time, the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty occupied the natural danger of the Yangtze River. If the army of the Northern Song Dynasty wanted to cross the Yangtze River to fight against it, it would be very difficult.The mighty Yangtze River is a natural line of defense against the Song army. Fan Ruoshui is deeply worried about this, thinking about ways to solve the problem every day.

It is obviously impossible to cross the river. The most commonly used method is to build bridges. When it is exact, pontoon bridges are the best choice in the era when pontoon bridges are flying all over the sky.

Obviously, at that time, it was not very easy to build a pontoon bridge on the vast river.In addition to complex technical requirements, there must be sufficient material conditions as a guarantee.

The most critical thing is that it is necessary to obtain the accurate width of the relevant river surface, and then we can prepare bridge-building materials in a targeted manner and build fixed facilities for floating bridges on the bank.

These tasks are time-consuming and labor-intensive. If the covert work cannot be done well, it is very easy to expose the identity. From the perspective of the Song army, this is quite difficult, but building a pontoon bridge is not only beneficial to the Song army, but also quite beneficial to the Tang army.

Fan Ruoshui thought of measuring the surface of the river, and in order to deceive others, he thought of the idea of ​​losing his hair and becoming a monk.So, through someone's introduction, Fan Ruoshui came to Guangji Temple in Caishi and became a monk. Since then, under the cover of a monk, he began to collect and investigate the hydrological data of the Caishi River in detail.

The clear and quiet mountain forest was originally a place for monks to meditate and practice.However, when the war broke out and the flames of war spread everywhere, it was difficult for this pure land to maintain its quiet nature.Although Fan Ruoshui was wearing cassock and banging the wooden fish, he was always thinking about the sound of the rumbling cannons outside the temple.

Because of the cassock as a cover, he came to Niuzhuji to check the terrain whenever he had the opportunity, and secretly drew drawings and marked them.In order to obtain accurate figures of the width of the Yangtze River, he often rowed a small boat with a long silk rope in the name of fishing, and carried out repeated measurements.

He first found a hidden place, and then tied the silk rope to the reef under Niuzhuji, then took the long silk rope and rowed to the west bank, and then calculated the width of the Yangtze River according to the length of the silk rope.This is a very primitive and stupid way.In order to obtain accurate figures, Fan Ruoshui had to go back and forth on the Caishi River tirelessly for several months, making repeated measurements.What's amazing is that Fan Ruoshui made a total of more than ten surveys on his way back and forth across the country, without anyone noticing it.

Obviously, the cassock he wore served as a good protection for his espionage activities.

In order to fix the pontoon bridge to be built, Fan Ruoshui donated a large amount of funds to Guangji Temple, and then suggested that the temple use the funds to dig out stone caves near the river in Niuzhu Mountain, and build stone towers in the caves , to enshrine Buddha statues to bless the safety of passing ships.

This is undoubtedly something that makes Buddhist disciples feel extremely honorable, so it was quickly recognized by the temple.A few months later, when such a huge project was announced to be completed, all the monks in Guangji Temple looked at Fan Ruoshui with admiration.

Using the temple as a cover, Fan Ruoshui has been secretly operating in the Caishi area for several months, and obtained detailed hydrogeographic data on the Caishi River.

With these materials, it would be much more convenient to build a pontoon bridge. It seems that this is not a preparation for the Song army to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. It's also convenient, isn't it?

These things were completed by him with all his painstaking efforts, and he had personally practiced them. Fan Ruoshui could be regarded as an ancestor who gained true knowledge through practice. He wanted to use these things to impress the Tang court.

But the first time he saw Li Yu, he was kicked out by Li Yu, and Lin Renzhao was attacking Dali at that time, so he didn't have time to pay attention to this, and he couldn't talk to Lin Renzhao.

So he thought that he could find someone to give these things to Li Yu, but he didn't expect that Li Yu was looking for him, and he caught his for a woman.

"Brother, stop complaining. If I had listened to others, I would have gone directly to the Song Dynasty. I would have become a prisoner. I used to stubbornly think that I would serve the Tang Dynasty, but now my family is ruined. I never thought that my father would end up in the Tang Dynasty in his life." , but ended up in this end.”

Fan Ruoshui is not alone in this cell. There are other people here. There are just three of them. Their conversation and appearance are beyond the reach of ordinary people. It seems that these two people also have backgrounds. Could it be that they are the sons of that official? ?

"Fan Ruoshui, I don't know what the two young masters are called. It is fate to be in the same cell. The tone of the two seems to be dissatisfied with the current Tang Dynasty."

"In Xiapan County, this Li Zhiyong, his father is Pan You, and Brother Li's father is Master Li Ping and Li. Now we are all waiting for the crime. Both my father and Master Li have been beheaded. All this is fatuous. Li Yu caused it, I must take revenge!" Pan Xianzhou said with gritted teeth.

Pan You and Li Ping are the last loyal ministers. Some time ago, when the Song Dynasty attacked the Southern Han Dynasty, they advised Li Yu to launch a sudden attack on the Song Dynasty at this time, but they were not agreed, and they were told a meal.

This Pan You's bullish temper came up, and he directly contradicted Li Yu, and was imprisoned in the end. He disobeyed the lord.

In prison, Pan You and Li Ping just complained a few words, but Li Yu found out about it. Li Yu, who was so hot-headed, ordered to beheaded. In this way, two loyal ministers were lost. Their families were basically not implicated. These two sons just wrote a letter to complain about their grievances, but they also came here.

"It turns out that since the two are loyal ministers, I will be polite." Fan Ruoshui had heard about Pan You and Li Ping, and these two were his sons, so he naturally respected them.

"Hmph, we don't care about loyal ministers. If I go out one day, I will definitely avenge my father. I don't want such a monarch." This sentence is Li Zhiyong, and his face is full of hatred.
