Chapter 588 Fortress Palace
As soon as he entered the world, he couldn't help but say anything. Although Zhao Bing claimed to leave forcibly, he knew that he was just talking and was just making a fuss. 『『『『 Quge Ww W.

CN finally compromised, and the ministers agreed to go to Wenchang Palace to escape the summer heat. The Secretariat of the Secretariat compiled and reported the general matters to the emperor every day, and submitted them separately for review of important matters. This condition was already very broad, so Zhao Bing nodded in agreement.
Although Zhao Bing wanted to leave early, it was very complicated to move. Safety was of course the first priority. First, Ni Liang and Liu Ling led the Third Battalion Guards and more than 20 eunuchs to the palace to fight the front station, arrange warnings and organize the houses. At the same time, the Right Army sent troops to Wenchang to be responsible for the periphery of the periphery. The Baisha Navy dispatched ships to patrol the surrounding water surface, and the family was busy getting some luggage. Commonly used and not commonly used, and they had to bring them with you if you were used.
Since Zhao Bing still had to handle official duties and had no less staff, Ying Jieyan led the team with him. After five days of preparation, the auspicious day was selected, and the team was able to complete the journey. Qiongzhou Fucheng was more than 200 miles away from Wenchang County, and according to the normal marching, it took seven days. Zhao Bing considered going from the post road to various prefectures and counties, and arranged guards and prepared for the needs of the large group of people. So he decided to take the sea route, so that a few boats would solve all the problems. The boat arrived only a day and night, so he also spared the pain of hard work.
On the sixth day of the eighth month, Zhao Bing said goodbye to the Queen Mother and boarded the Sheji at the wharf outside the city. He was accompanied by only two baggage boats and five dragon boats. After going out to sea along the Nandu River to Haikou, the Baisha Navy sent twenty warships to escort it. After a day and night sailing, he arrived in Boao the next day and docked at the wharf south of the island. Speaking of which, this was his second time here, but he did not land on the island last time, and there were only dozens of gang residents living on the island, but this time it was much more lively.
However, it was not Zhao Bing's idea to build the summer palace here, but it was his order to open Boao. Since entering Qiong, several major battles have been fought, and after each battle, there will be a large number of wounded soldiers. Considering that these injuries are mostly alone, and many people will be disabled and difficult to re-enter the army, he decided to choose a scenic spot outside Qiongzhou to establish a military sanatorium, so that the wounded and sick can rest here, and the officers and soldiers can take turns to relax and recuperate, so he chose Boao.
When Zhao Bing went to Yashan, Ying Jieyan mobilized the baggage army to the island to repair houses. He didn't know how famous Boao was in later generations, but when he went to the island to choose the site, it was at the intersection of Baiquan River and the South China Sea. It not only had rich aquatic products, but also had beautiful scenery that integrated mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, islands, and trees, beaches, hot springs, strange stones and pastoral areas. There were also beaches that lasted for more than ten miles, many islands and rivers with magical creations. So he was also attracted by the scenery. Thinking that as long as his precious apprentice did not die, the narrow palace in the mansion would definitely not be able to keep him in his heart, so he took the lead in building a summer palace.
Zhao Bing saw his palace before he even went to the island, and he was so happy! The old man was so capable. This may be the most unique palace in the world. It was clearly a earthen building, like a giant bunker standing on the coast. He was obviously fooling himself into being a city kid, without any knowledge, and he proudly told him on the boat, telling him how unique the construction of the palace was and how complete the functions were!
However, the old man was not wrong. After landing, he walked only 200 steps outside the palace gate. From the outside, the whole building looked like a large round grain storage, covering an area of about 20 acres. It was built on a high ground from the south and north. When you walked along the door, you first saw a half-moon pond with fish and turtles in it. What’s so clever is that the pond was built on a spring. There was no need to divert water to get enough water. You can take a look at fish and shrimps, water flowers and plants, and store water to prevent drought, set fires, and gather rain.
The other half of the pond is a building. The junction of the two halves is separated by a rectangular open space and is tamped and paved with three-piece earth. It can be used as the martial arts field for the guardians. In the middle is the square main building, which is Zhao Bing's place of life. Ying Jieyan said that this means to take the sky and the place of the earth, but he looked like a huge copper coin, and he was in the eyes of the money.
As we walked and looked, as Zhao Bing knew in his previous life, the entire earthen building adopts the architectural model of three buildings and two horizontal dragon houses, with three upper, middle and lower halls. There is a patio between each hall and separated by wooden screens. The screens can be opened or closed as needed. There are north and south halls, upper and lower halls, upper and lower halls, toilets, flower halls, wing rooms, study rooms, living rooms, living rooms, etc., which are arranged in a scattered manner, with clear main and secondary. The building structure is low in front and high in the back, which is conducive to lighting, ventilation, drainage, and sewage.
The outer layer of the horizontal house is a half-moon-shaped walled house, which is four floors high, guarding the main hall and forming a defensive barrier. There are as many as hundreds of walled houses in total, so that people can be lived in or stored. There are no windows facing outwards on the first and second floors of the walled houses, and there are large windows facing outwards on the third and fourth floors and each room, which are not only conducive to lighting, circulating air, but also become gun holes for looking at the enemy situation and shooting outwards. The windows are generally not large and can be used as a lookout hole, and the shooting holes can fight against the enemy to attack. In addition, there are corner towers built on the outer houses to warn of the lookout.
Zhao Bing knocked on the wall, but his hand hurt, but there was no response. He estimated that the wall was at least five or six feet later. Judging from the exposed wall, the foundation was built with stones, and the above was rammed with raw earth. Such a thick wall greatly enhanced the insulation, making it warm in winter and cool in summer, and could resist the attacks of enemy soldiers. He felt that when Ying Jieyan built the palace, he must have thought that when he was close to the sea, he was prone to attack by the enemy at sea, so he also made many considerations in defense. Such a large building only had a main gate, and when the enemy attacked and closed the gate, it became a solid fortress.
The door frame and threshold of the door are all stones. The door panel is about one foot thick and covered with iron sheet. Several door guard holes embedded in bamboo tubes have been dug diagonally on the door. If an enemy attacks the door, you can shoot down and pour water. In order to prevent the enemy from setting fires, a fireproof water cabinet and sink are also installed above the door. As long as the switch is pressed, the water will go down the door to extinguish the door to protect the door. In addition, the outer wall has also been tamped with a wall. If the exterior wall is bombarded by a stone thrower, there will still be wall support in the building, which can be safe and sound.
