Chapter 250: The Strategy of the Canal

Jing Xiang was silent and did not express his position, he didn't know how to decide, and he couldn't promise the other party, so he could only respond in silence.

was silent for a long time, Feng Dao didn't urge, after a while, he stood up and said slowly: "Sir, you might as well go to Yucheng with me to live for a while!" ”

Jing Xiang neither agreed, nor agreed, and Feng Dao didn't think it was a pestle, so he acquiesced and stood up, "Feng is in Yucheng, wait for Mr. to come!" ”

……

Spring flowers bloom, boundless green grasslands, purple and red colorful flowers, rippling light fragments of wind, absorbing the earthy fragrant springs, they bathe in it!

The land of Fanyang Mansion has long been busy, and the villagers in the fields are tidying up the land that has been cleared out of the fields, cultivating wheat and beans and other agricultural products.

The battle of Shu Zhou is still going on, Sun Hanshao is a successful sneak attack, completely attacked the three towns in the northwest of the Great Zhou, he is as smart as he is, and he did not do more entanglement in the three towns, but went all the way west to the end of the mouth.

At the end of the Tsui, this is a slave from the Tubo army in Hexi and Longyou, and after rebelling and killing the lord during the years of fierce competition among the border generals, Xiaoju entangled and established the Tsui Mo Army, which was sandwiched between the Guiyi Army and the Ganzhou Uighurs.

The generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty were busy cleaning up the situation of the three towns in the northwest being troubled, and did not keep pursuing, but Tang Sun Hanshao escaped, but Shu did not have the strong army of Wuxin Army, but it also became precarious, fortunately, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it had already united the Shu land of Jingchu and Ma Yin, and it was not something that could be taken by the Great Zhou in one fell swoop.

Fanyang Mansion is concerned about the development of the general trend of the world, but it does not relax its own development at all, the slightly stable Fanyang Mansion, the strong Fan Yang Army is no longer afraid of the Khitan wolf ride, so this land that has been repeatedly warn, is developing strongly with his vigorous vitality.

After Fan Yang College ushered in Ouyang Jiong, Niu Xiji and other great Confucians, the students who signed up were in an endless stream, and the price of books in Yucheng rose sharply for a while, so that Liu Feng also had time to open his golden fingers, and movable type printing came into being.

At the same time that the economy, culture, and technology began to develop rapidly, Liu Feng did not relax his subordinates in military strategy at all, and Shu and Zhou began a long-term entangled war near Bazhou, and the battle between the two sides was very fierce.

Due to Sun Hanshao's westward departure, the troops of Shu were somewhat stretched and could not confront the strong Zhou army, so the Shu army had to temporarily abandon many peripheral states and counties and shrink to Bazhou. With the shrinking of the control area, the resistance of the Shu soldiers became more and more fierce, on the contrary, with the expansion of the control area, the Great Zhou had to divide more troops to defend, and the momentum of the momentum for a while was blocked in Bazhou.

According to the intelligence of the internal guards, the time for Shu to hold out will not be too long, as long as the Great Zhou Forbidden Army can quickly stabilize the rear, the Shu soldiers will no longer have the power to parry.

From the perspective of Fan Yang Mansion, no matter which side wins, as long as the battle lasts a little longer, especially if it is the victory of Da Zhou, it is not good news for Fan Yang Mansion, but it backfired, and Da Zhou walked towards the direction of victory step by step.

Liu Feng had to convene a group of generals and subordinates again to discuss the military strategy of Fanyang Mansion next, the result of the battle of Shu and Zhou was expected by everyone, but they did not expect that the huge Shu land was not as good as the three towns in the northwest, and if it went on like this, in less than a year, Shu would be the territory of the Great Zhou.

The policy of the stable development of Fanyang Mansion was obviously influenced by the victory of the Great Zhou, and the generals expressed their opinions and provided many ideas for the next subordinates of Fanyang Mansion.

Feng Dao, Pei Tai, Deng Junliang, Zeng Yu, etc., who were in the column, were all silent, and Jing Xiang, who was coerced from Xiangzhou, also participated in the military discussion in Fanyang Mansion.

He has participated in the military and political councils of Fanyang Mansion many times, and everyone is used to his existence, for such a god-level figure, Liu Feng has adopted a resigned approach, and has not seriously discussed with Jing Xiang, just let him know more carefully in Fanyang Mansion.

In the midst of different opinions, Deng Jieyu from Qizhou and Guo Chongtao beside him were whispering softly, and Guo Chongtao's face also showed approval from time to time, but this scene made Liu Feng find out.

Beckoned to the two of them, "What do you two have planned?" Let's talk about it first, so that you can also discuss it! ”

Guo Chongtao and Deng Jieyu glanced at each other, Guo Chongtao stretched out his hand and humbly conceded, Deng Jieyu got up and cleared his throat, and said slowly: "My subordinates have an idea, maybe Fanyang Mansion can take the lead in the future battle!" ”

After looking around at everyone, he said slowly: "Open the canal!" ”

Everyone in the hall looked at Deng Jieyu a little when they heard this, and Jing Xiang, Feng Dao, and Deng Junliang were all shocked, obviously knowing Deng Jieyu's thoughts.

Feng Dao clasped his hands and said, "Wonderful! Brilliant idea! ”

Turned to Liu Feng and said: "This strategy is wonderful, in addition to the Di Road in the north, I should also build the canal, with the danger of a big river, plus the convenience of the canal, Fanyang Mansion can have the power to fight!" ”

Liu Feng thought carefully in his heart, and said slowly: "This strategy is a wonderful ......"

If the combat power of the Fanyang Mansion Army is stronger than that of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army and the Hedong Army, it is the construction of the water army.

There is already a Yongji Canal in the area under the jurisdiction of Fanyang Mansion, if it is repaired, the combat power of the Sea Wolf Battalion is used here, and the combination of the big river and the canal, the combat power of the Fanyang Mansion army may be completely stimulated.

The repair of the Grand Canal is not only a military strategic deployment, but also an economic strategic deployment, transportation is always an important condition for curbing economic and military development, where transportation is convenient, economic development must be much stronger, and military value is also much more important.

And if Fanyang Mansion wants to dominate the world, the use of the navy is indispensable, and the Changhuai River is a place where the navy is mighty.

The Seawolf Battalion's current combat exploits are not outstanding enough, but it does not mean that the combat power of the Seawolf Battalion is not strong, the combat power of the Seawolf Battalion has to leave behind too many other naval armies, with the guidance of Liu Feng's golden finger, the Seawolf Battalion maintains an absolute advantage in weapons and warships.

However, the reason why Liu Feng said half a sentence was to consider that the cost of building the Grand Canal was huge, and the renovation of the canal required a lot of financial investment, especially the rivers under the jurisdiction of Fanyang Prefecture were not abundant, and it was necessary to connect the Haihe River and the big river.

The renovation of the canal requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and at least one-third of the Zhuang Ding in the canal area must be transferred, which has a certain obstacle to the development of Pham Duong Province.

Since ancient times, almost all the canals were built in the prosperous era when the country and the people were safe, and if the canal was forcibly repaired under the condition that the strength was not enough, it would only be counterproductive, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

And the renovation of the canal also needs special talents, the renovation of water conservancy, the construction of the canal, are professional talents, and the only thing that Liu Feng is fortunate about is that the firing of cement is the most helpful product for the construction of the Grand Canal.

While Liu Feng was pondering, the rest of the people were also silent, quickly thinking about the pros and cons of renovating the canal.

And there is one of the most important problems in this, Liu Feng has not yet considered, if the canal is repaired and the north and south are smooth, and finally the Great Zhou Navy is allowed to move freely, this is the most deadly.

After thinking about it carefully, although everyone felt that Deng Jieyu's strategy was a brilliant strategy, it was too difficult to really implement it, and the risks were also difficult to control.

Seeing that everyone was silent after Liu Feng's words, Deng Jieyu stood in the hall with some embarrassment, fortunately, Liu Feng did not have a long time to think, and after thinking about it, he said softly: "This strategy is feasible, but it is not urgent, the construction of the road and the canal will start together, and the financial pressure is too great for Fanyang Mansion!" ”

"And to find a person who knows how to repair the canal, to understand, no investigation, there is no right to speak, rather than we wait here for empty talk, why not tomorrow by the Yongji Canal, consider it on the spot, see how feasible this policy is!"

Liu Feng is very much in favor of repairing the canal, this is a utilitarian thing, it is better than after his death, the construction of a huge underground palace to make future generations more nostalgic, if it can really be Yongji Canal, repair it again, and connect the north and south of Fanyang Mansion, such an eternal project, can also make him shine through the ages.

The next day, a group of people rushed to the Wei County section of the former site of Yongji Canal, according to Yucheng is only dozens of miles, Deng Jieyu can put forward such an idea, but he has also done his homework, leading a local water control person Ma Qingzhi in Cizhou.

This person is the descendant of the canal governor to protect Ma Shumou, and he also presided over the reform of Cao Yun in the Jin Dynasty, so he is very familiar with the Grand Canal, after Liu Feng took charge of Cizhou, he also contributed to the construction of canals in Cizhou, Yucheng and other places, but this person is also a great contributor.

It's just that Liu Feng is not familiar with it.

On the way to the canal, the villagers working in the fields are also laughing slowly, the spring breeze is blowing, and the greenery is full of greenery, which makes everyone more confident about the future.

But when he arrived at the edge of the canal, Liu Feng looked a little unhappy, the wolf rider repeatedly went south, and there was a lot of damage to the city and cultivated land, but the damage to the canal was the greatest, and the existence of the canal was quite threatening for the wolf rider. Therefore, every time the wolf rides south, the canal and river will be destroyed.

As a result, the current condition of the Northland Canal is worrying, and only a few sections of the canal are well preserved, but most of them have been so badly damaged that they almost need to be rebuilt.

Seeing the scene of the canal, everyone who came with him was a little distressed, especially Ma Qingzhi, his expression was even heavier, his face was full of grief and indignation, and he almost wanted to scold.

After Liu Feng restrained his mood, he said slowly: "Mr. Ma, I invite you to come with me today, just to ask for advice on the repair of this Yongji Canal, and ask Mr. for some advice!" ”

When Ma Qingzhi heard this, his expression was constricted, he already had a draft in his heart, and over the years, he has always paid attention to the canal, and he knows what to do about the canal repair.
