The main structure of the bastion is relatively complex, and Zhu Cixiang has done research in this area in his previous life.
What he admired most was the Vauban bastion.
The main structures of the Vauban-style bastion include solid bastion, hollow bastion, parapet, central embankment, concave fort, triangular fort, hidden road, garrison station, and inclined embankment.
This kind of bastion has a star-shaped radial shape and will be covered with a thick layer of soil on the surface to avoid secondary damage caused by enemy artillery ricochet.
The solid bastion is a high mound of earth with a breastwork.
Artillery is often equipped behind the breastworks as the main fire output of the bastion.
The so-called Zhongdi refers to the middle part of the bastion, which is similar to the city wall of the Ming Dynasty.
The concave fort was built to prevent enemy artillery from direct bombardment of the central embankment, as was the triangular fort.
Both will be lower than the main fort so as not to affect the artillery firing on the main fort, forming a crossfire.
Hidden roads and garrison posts function as bunkers, and inclined embankments are the outermost fortifications.
A larger tilt angle can maximize the power of crossfire.
Generally speaking, the structure of the bastion is completely different from that of the existing cities of the Ming Dynasty.
Without a detailed drawing to refer to, it would be difficult for craftsmen to build a bastion that met Zhu Cixiang's requirements.
Fortunately, Zhu Cixi had done research in this area, and the structure of the bastion was deeply imprinted in his mind.
It was not difficult to draw a diagram of the main structure.
Zhu Cixiang didn't want any delay, so he immediately drew up the outline of the fortress.
I have to admit that Zhu Cixiang's sense of spatial structure is not very good, and the structural diagram of the bastion he drew is not very beautiful, but fortunately he has clearly explained the main structure.
Zhu Cixiang has decided to build a group of peripheral bastions in the northern part of Shandong Province.
These bastions do not need to be too big, each can accommodate two to three hundred people.
Their role was to hold back the Manchus from moving south and buy time for Zhu Cixiang to train new soldiers.
Of course, this will cost a lot of money, but it is much cheaper than building a fortified city, and the operation and maintenance costs are much lower, and it is worth the money.
"Come here, Lu Zhenfei, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Gao Hongtu, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, are here to see you."
Wuchang, press the Chasi Yamen.
Du Yinxi, the deputy envoy of the Huguang Police Department, kept pacing in the flower hall with his hands behind his back, looking very worried.
The day before yesterday, Eunuch Chen, who was sent by the imperial court to deliver the edict, arrived in Wuchang.
A group of civil and military officials, including the governor of Huguang, He Tengjiao, and the commander-in-chief of Huguang, Zuo Liangyu, came to the governor's Yamen, set up an incense table, and knelt down to receive the edict.
Du Yinxi was naturally among them.
Eunuch Chen read out the imperial edict in public, his voice rising and falling, demonstrating the majestic power of God.
As for the content, it was uneventful.
It was nothing more than a commendation for the loyalty of He Tengjiao, Zuo Liangyu and others, and a title promotion for Zuo Liangyu, from Ningnan Bo to Ningnan Marquis.
After receiving the order, the governor He Tengjiao and the Marquis of Ningnan Zuo Liangyu set up a banquet to welcome Eunuch Chen.
Except for He and Zuo, the other civil and military officials praised Eunuch Chen at the banquet and wished they could accept Eunuch Chen as their official. father.
Although Du Yinxi was disappointed, he didn't say much.
The current atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom is like this.
Even if he stands up to oppose, it will be of no use.
It will also arouse the resentment of his colleagues and be ostracized.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
Eunuch Chen was the first to leave the table on the grounds of being drunk, and everyone dispersed one after another.
Du Yinxi also got on the sedan chair and returned to his mansion to rest.
Early the next morning, Eunuch Chen went to the residence of He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu in a private name.

Du Yinxi didn't find it strange at all.
Eunuchs are often greedy for money, and Eunuch Chen is no exception.
According to the custom in official circles, wherever a superior official goes, his subordinates must prepare a generous sum of money as a token of appreciation.
Eunuch Chen was delivering edicts on behalf of the emperor, so he was naturally a Shangguan.
As representatives of civil servants and generals in Huguang, it is understandable that He and Zuo each sent a copy of Cheng Yi.
But then Eunuch Chen went to the private residences of Wuchang magistrate, Huguang chief envoy and other high officials, and it seemed that he made a lot of money.
At that time, Du Yinxi made an evaluation to Eunuch Chen: Greed is the evil spirit.
It seems that Eunuch Chen will not give up until he asks all Huguang officials for a copy of Cheng Yi.
Du Yinxi has been in the officialdom for half his life and has seen many greedy people, but he is definitely the only one who is as greedy as Eunuch Chen.
Such a greedy person would naturally not forget Du Yinxi.
In fact, although Du Yinxi was the deputy envoy of the Huguang Ancha Division at this time, because his official post was always vacant, he was the actual Yamen Hall official of the Ancha Division.
In addition, Du Yinxi is in charge of Wuchang military preparation and Taoist affairs, and he can definitely be ranked among the top five in Huguang officialdom.
Eunuch Chen would naturally not let go of such a big fish.
When Du Yinxi learned that Eunuch Chen was visiting, he ordered his housekeeper to prepare a copy of Cheng Yi, hoping to send this plague god away as soon as possible.
But who knew that when Eunuch Chen entered Du Yinxi's study, he was not in a hurry to hint about Cheng Yi, but instead asked Du Yinxiping to retreat.
Although Du Yinxi felt very strange, he still did it to save the face of Eunuch Chen.
Eunuch Chen looked around to make sure there was no one around, then lowered his voice and ordered Gu Yinxi to accept the order.
Du Yinxi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the emperor had a secret order for him, and he quickly knelt down to receive the order.
Eunuch Chen took out a piece of paper folded into the size of his palm from his personal clothes, unfolded it and read.
The content of the secret decree is very brief, with only one sentence: Zuozhen is domineering, Qing can divide and rule.
Just such a simple sentence made Du Yinxi excited.
The reason why he was excited was not because the emperor valued him and gave him a secret edict.
But the emperor has the ambition to conquer Zuozhen As a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, Du Yinxi could no longer bear Zuo Liangyu's domineering behavior.
It's a pity that He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu were fighting fiercely.
The two sang and harmonized, and outsiders had no chance to interrupt.
In addition, Zuo Liangyu had an army of more than 200,000 men, so Du Yinxi did not dare to scold Zuo Liangyu for causing bad political influence for the sake of the overall situation.
In his opinion, the imperial court was also afraid of Zuo Liangyu, so it promoted him to a higher rank to show its favor.
This is understandable.
The imperial court has no soldiers and how can it get by without cooperating with the warlords.
But when he received the emperor's secret decree, he realized that the current emperor was a heroic master with great talents and great strategies.
The emperor sees the problem very thoroughly and analyzes it to the point.
Zuo Liangyu is domineering because he has many soldiers and generals.
But these soldiers and generals are not all direct descendants of Zuo Liangyu, a large part of them surrendered and were recruited.
Due to different military pay and treatment, there are many conflicts among the battalions under Zuo Liangyu's command, and they are by no means monolithic.
The emperor's strategy is to divide and conquer As long as Zuo Liangyu's tribe is divided, his strength will weaken and the court will have an opportunity.
Only then did Du Yinxi understand why Eunuch Chen went to the residences of a group of Huguang officials to "beg for Cheng Yi."
This was to protect him from blocking Yinxi and avoid arousing Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao's suspicion of him.
If Eunuch Chen went straight to Du Yinxi's mansion, the two old foxes He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu would definitely notice it.
The emperor wanted to take Zuozhen, but he didn't want to alert the enemy, so he had to issue two imperial edicts, one explicit and one secret
