Chapter 1225: Sail out of the source of the river
As Maike flew through the air, he sharpened his knife and chopped wood, and while hurrying, he issued two important commands.
The first one is for Gu Jizhi.
Why give it to him?
Because he was far away from the main battlefield, quite far away.
Even if they start early, and then add a lot of auxiliary means, it would be nice to be able to catch up.
The distance is one issue, but there are many other tasks on the road, which is the second issue that needs to be considered.
The first task was to sweep the cities along the coast.
Mai Ke ordered him that if the place he passed through still did not belong to the Heavenly Army, then he would take it with the momentum of thunder!
Therefore, Gu Jizhi's main combat force was actually divided into two parts, one part was responsible for sweeping along the way, and the other part was for assault and advance.
As part of the assault advance, no matter what happened along the way, they had no distractions and went down the river as fast as possible on the main channel!
They have only one goal, which is the main battlefield in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River!
They are much farther away than Peter downstream, so it's much less likely that they'll get to the main battlefield first!
But Peter had Peter's difficulty, which was that they passed through more big cities and had more targets to sweep along the way!
Therefore, in the end, who will reach the main battlefield first, it is not necessarily!
As for Gu Jizhi's sweeping troops, they cleared the towns that had not yet surrendered, and after occupying them, they also had to arrange defensive forces to avoid regains and losses.
In this case, in addition to the inevitable losses in the war, a large number of men and horses will have to be transferred from mobile troops to garrison troops.
If this is purely the case, then no matter how many people are dispatched. It will also be insufficient.
This is because this section of the Yangtze River is too long, 5,000 kilometers!
Even hundreds of thousands of people will be occupied by the cities along the way.
Fortunately, there is compensation, not just out and in!
Mai Ke had already made arrangements for this.
Everywhere along the route, the Celestial Army has taken a considerable proportion of the land to itself, especially the eastern end of Sacheon. Since Yuzhou has become a part of the holy city of Geyue Mountain from top to bottom.
They never stopped, except to support the decisive battle of the two rivers, that is, to attack everywhere, expand their territory, recruit troops, gather grass and store grain, and build ships, once the time is ripe, they will come down the river.
Meantime. They took advantage of the unique conditions to firmly hold the gate of the Yangtze River into Sichuan, and whether they entered or exited, they had to pass through the inspection of the heavenly army.
This inspection is more famous!
Anything that is helpful to the Heavenly Army, of course, will be unceremoniously taken over to the Heavenly Army!
got such a bargain. I also want to let the Manchu carry the black cauldron!
The prefect of Yuzhou has a celebration, although his heart and his baby girl were handed over to the heavenly army. But his name is still there!
All the materials that belonged to the Manchu government and the Manchu military that were confiscated by the Heavenly Army were made in the name of his old man!
Therefore, for a period of time, there have been more than 100 black pots in Qingbei, including blocking roads and robbing, trying to make money and kill people. Robbing people's daughters, there is everything.
Why did these people make trouble with the emperor, saying that this old traitor dared to rob King Qin's money and food, and robbed King Qin's military ships!
The verdict of this kind of thing is, of course, a celebration of mistakes. Moreover, he was uniformly ordered to exchange the looted property and release the detained officers and soldiers.
However, there are many lice that don't itch, and there are many accounts, so I don't have to worry about it, so I will ignore him!
So, on top of the more than 100 black pots in Youqing, another bite was added, and it was the largest and blackest!
Maliciously disobey the king's orders!
Disobey the king's orders, or malice!
It can be seen how pedantic those royal literati are!
Is there any good will to disobey the king's orders?
In fact, the person concerned, Youqing, has already secretly served as an official of the Heavenly Army and served the Kingdom of Heaven.
Under the more than 100 black cauldrons, it is empty!
The party who should have been under the black cauldron didn't care at all, what should he do, it would be chic.
After finishing his work, he walked the birds and teased the monkeys, which was ten times more comfortable than being the prefect of Laoshizi before!
I have to say that this wormhole son-in-law is also very qualified!
I don't know from what source of old news, I learned that my father-in-law loves small animals very much, so I found a few very talking birds from his animal alliances, probably parrots and starlings, and gave them to my father-in-law.
I also found a few particularly smart monkeys from those ape teams, the kind that are very likable and don't cause trouble, and they are also given to my father-in-law.
Wormholes are done with peace of mind, and with a heart to repay the gratitude.
The daughters that have been raised by others for so many years have been given to you, shouldn't you do what you can?
At least the interests of those animals, wormholes as their presidential collar, certainly not offended.
Originally, among all kinds of animals, there was a project to help humans, such as being a kindergarten teacher, accompanying the elderly, relieving their boredom, and so on.
These traditions began in the Holy Mountain and the Holy City.
There are nursery schools and kindergartens run by foxes, rabbits, etc.
In this peaceful atmosphere, Youqing and other officials of the Heavenly Kingdom worked together to concentrate on expanding outward, expanding the Holy City of Geyue Mountain more than tenfold.
They have also received a special notice from Mai Ke to prepare for the Heavenly Army Sailors led by Gu Jizhi, and they will go down the river from the source of the Yangtze River.
After the two rounds, the battleships they had painstakingly prepared would also be directly combined with the sailors who had come downstream, and continue to march towards the center of the battle.
In addition to these two purposes, Gu Jizhi himself has a third purpose.
Mai Ke knew this purpose, but he directly handed it over to Gu Jizhi to deal with it with full authority.
This is to manage the entire length of the Yangtze River, just as it treats the Yellow River.
The Yellow River has been completely governed when the Heavenly Army was engaged in two decisive battles!
Now it is actually called the Yellow River, because from beginning to end, all the water is as clear as promised, and there is no longer a trace of turbidity.
And the Yangtze River is much better than the Yellow River when it was not governed.
At that time, its own problems were also very serious, not only the problem of sediment accumulation was very serious, but also a considerable distance was the river on the ground, which was also the result of the mud raging.
Therefore, Gu Jizhi's boat force brought a large number of experts in soil and water conservation, and as long as Gu Jizhi felt that the conditions and time permitted, he would follow the example of the Yellow River and thoroughly manage the Yangtze River, the largest river in China.
However, judging from the current progress, I am afraid that this matter will be delayed!
Because of the stubborn resistance of people from all walks of life along the way.
Not only did they drag all the fleets that were responsible for sweeping, but some of the fleets that were preparing to go straight to the main battlefield were also entangled!
For a time, the entire upper reaches of the Yangtze River became a pot of porridge!.
