All the bandits present were captured alive, and none of them escaped the net!

Even the bandit leader, who had disguised himself as an old bandit, was caught and mixed with the bandits.

Meng Yi was responsible for checking the number of bandits, paying special attention to whether the bandit leaders were caught.

Of course, the black dragon is the most valued one.

After searching again and not finding this most vicious guy, Meng Yi shouted to these bandit captives: "Who of you knows where the black dragon is?

Before the words fell, there was a snort, and the densest crowd in the middle vacated a one-zhang square space.

An old man with gray hair and a long beard is revealed!

About thirty hands, pointing at him at the same time, shouted in unison, "Just him!"

The old man was pretending to be calm just now, but when he saw that everyone pointed at him, including his guards, including the old butler who helped him change his clothes, he immediately panicked.

There has never been such a complete betrayal!

He went limp and collapsed to the ground.

Meng Yi waved his hand, and suddenly two groups of people came out, one group went to capture the black dragon, although he was already a dead snake, it was necessary to prevent him from breaking out and hurting people.

The other group went out, but they registered those who had identified the leaders of the bandits, and turned back so that they could be rewarded with their rewards.

The Heavenly Army pays attention to believing in words and deeds must be fruitful, and must reward those who have made meritorious contributions, even if they need to be punished for other things, they will be rewarded first.

Strict rewards and punishments are the most basic behavior, and if you can't do this, don't talk about anything else.

The kung fu is not big, the problem of bandits, thoroughly understood, Tiger Leaping Gorge returned to the hands of the Heavenly Army. And it kills two birds with one stone, completely solving the bandits here for many years.

From then on, the merchant ships no longer had to worry about extorting money from these bandits, or even killing them for money.

As for the shortened range, that's a small unspoken benefit of many.

But another benefit, but it's very big!

It is after cutting and straightening. The route has changed from thrilling in the past to unimpeded now.

Not to mention sailing from the bottom to the top, it is necessary to use countless slender men to pull the boat, so that the ship can survive the three tiger jumps up, middle and down; that is to say, from the top to the bottom, the current is turbulent, and if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die!

Such a change will undoubtedly play a huge role in the development of the economy of the areas above the Tiger Leaping Gorge!

Just think about it. The products of those regions, only if they are particularly profitable, can withstand the payment of fifty percent of the taxes, plus various risks, including death, and be shipped out of Tiger Leaping Gorge.

And the commodities that are urgently needed in these regions must also have agreed profit potential before someone is willing to take the risk and ship them in.

Such a scenario. Undoubtedly, all production that was below expected profitability was stopped.

Even if there is a heart. It can't be sustained, because if you open the door for one more day, you will lose it to this day.

No one has carefully weighed the long-term economic assessment, but the near-term benefits have been noted.

This person is Gu Jizhi!

As a geo-hydraulic expert. Of course, he kept the drawbacks of Tiger Leaping Gorge in mind, and he was thinking about a solution at any time, but he was exhausted and had no tricks to solve the problem.

The point is that he is the same as Meng Yi. Thinking is confined to existing conditions.

In this way, their solution is limited by these conditions before they are released.

When he took care of the affairs of the Batang River valley, he entrusted all the affairs there to the Wangba River, and led the fleet down the river, and the plan in his heart was to help Mai Ke attack the Tiger Leaping Gorge.

He knew that Tiger Leaping Gorge was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and even if it could be taken, it would definitely be a heavy price, not only protracted, but also heavy casualties.

When he arrived at Tiger Leaping Gorge, he was shocked by what he saw!

The imaginary war is raging, and the corpses are all over the field, no!

But it was calm, laughter and laughter.

There is no war, only peace!

Then he learned what was going on.

Seeing the newly built straight road, the water of the Jinsha River flowed tamely, and he hit the Tiger Leaping Gorge problem that had plagued him for a long time, and disappeared!

At the bottom of his heart, tears of emotion flowed happily!

However, he suppressed his feelings, and his husband shed blood and sweat without tears!

Then, he ran into the Tiger Leaping Gorge like a gust of wind, and he was now bent on seeing what kind of Lushan really looked like the triple jump he had seen several times.

He is an insider's vision, naturally no better than the fleeing bandits, nor the pursuing Heavenly Army soldiers.

What he saw was the miracle of creation, and thus the great value of peaceful use!

Countless plans have sprung up in his mind to make this Tiger Leaping Gorge a beautiful place like an outdoor peach orchard!

Therefore, everything is already in place here, although there is no water, but this is a good solution.

Just put some of the original running water in.

With this beautiful blueprint in his heart, he didn't want to be the commander of this old Shizi Sailor even more, and decided to resign immediately after seeing Mai Ke, whoever wants to do it, anyway, don't bother him.

However, after seeing Mai Ke, before he could speak, Mai Ke took the lead in issuing an order: "Gu Jizhi! Order you to lead the main force of the sailor division, immediately go to the ferry, join forces with the main force of the navy division in the middle reach, attack together, and take this hub city in one sentence!"

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Jizhi to reply, he slapped the clouded leopard himself and took off.

He had to rush to the ferry war zone, which was a key city at the junction of the upper and middle reaches of the Jinsha River, which not only held the throat of the upper and lower reaches of the Jinsha River, but also served as the confluence of several important rivers.

In addition to the Jinsha River, the Yalong River and the Anning River also flow here, which is a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and is also the center of economic maintenance and development in this region.

Therefore, the Manchus attached great importance to this place, and the local wealthy families also did their best to defend this fortress.

Therefore, a large number of warships, troops, and local self-defense forces were concentrated in the ferry city, with a total of more than 150,000!

The middle route of the Jinsha River Celestial Army had reached the ferry, but their strength was not suitable for use, and they only blocked their waterway to the lower reaches, but could not quickly destroy this stubborn enemy and occupy this strategic place.

For this reason, Mai Ke decided to concentrate the army of two naval divisions, surround the ferry from the upper and lower directions, and cut off the enemy's escape route by water.

At the same time, he also ordered the two naval armies to send their own marines to cut off the dry roads in the city, leaving them desperate on land.

All in all, creating a situation is to let them have no way to go to the sky, no way to enter the earth, and the only way to survive is to open the city and surrender.

Gu Jizhi didn't achieve his goal, so he had to listlessly continue to be the commander of his sailor division, ordering the army to go straight to the ferry!.
