Two brothers, Wu Yijiu and Wu Yiyong, were walking on a dam on the north bank of the Jiehe River.

Because of the diversion of the Yellow River, the water of the Jiehe River is much calmer than in previous years, and it flows slowly until it reaches the Bohai Sea.

The current has slowed down, but the navigable capacity of the boundary river is still there—the boundary river is about the Haihe River of later generations, and the Haihe River of later generations can carry 3,000-5,000 tons of sea boats. In the era of sailing, there was no ship that could not enter the port of Tianjin city from the Haihe River.

Therefore, on the surface of the slow-flowing boundary river, there are still many sails, and it is extremely busy.

The ports on both sides of the river are also very busy, and countless dock workers shout the trumpet of labor, or carry on their shoulders, or use two-wheeled wheelbarrows, or use a kind of manual pedaling to drive the crane, unloading piles and bundles of goods onto the cargo ships leaning on the docks.

However, in the long run, the navigability of the Jiehe River is still not good, and sooner or later a new port will have to be built at the mouth of the sea in the east city of Tianjin.

"It's okay, the boundary river is still there." Wu Yiyong watched the boundary river he was familiar with suddenly narrowed a lot, and he was very unaccustomed to it, "But without the Yellow River flowing north, it is always inconvenient." ”

"It's nothing." Wu Yijiu said, "The Yellow River has been diverted, but the Yongji River is still ...... Last year and this year, the dredging was started, and if it can be completed, it will still be possible to transport the grain to Kaifeng Prefecture.

By the way, how is Kaifeng Mansion now? But it's a dead city? ”

"It's almost time if you don't die!" Wu Yijiu snorted, "The great Central Plains was ruined by Zhao Huan and Du Chong!" Third brother, are we really going to let them go like that? ”

"Spare it?" Wu Yijiu sneered, "How is it possible? But I can't take care of it for the time being, so I have to finish Huang, Huai, and Yun Dagong, right? ”

"That's," Wu Yiyong nodded, "how long will it take?" Is five years enough? ”

"At least five years, maybe ten years!" Wu Yijiu said, "It is worth it to complete the work of ten years and complete the plan for a thousand years."

In fact, the siltation of the north-flowing river is serious, and the sections of the Daimyofu and Puyang rivers break from time to time, and it is also a matter of time before the Yellow River is diverted to the south. ”

"The Beiliu River is indeed too dangerous," Wu Yiyong said approvingly, "Puyang turns almost at a right angle to the north, and this section is diverted from time to time, washing the ground at the good end to pieces." ”

"It's all Zhao Song messing around," Wu Yijiu shook his head, "I obviously don't understand, what kind of Sanyi Huihe is doing, it's just that the people are suffering!" ”

"They don't learn to build," Wu Yiyong said, "which is like us, it's surveying, drawing, and building...... It's not easy! ”

In the courses of the knight academy of surveying, drawing, and construction, Wu Yiyong put a lot of hard work into it. However, he is not a professional sapper, and he is not as good as the construction master of Yuntai Academy and Yenching University.

"The Yellow River and the Huai River are still not easy to manage!" Wu Yijiu seemed to be a little emotional, "This is the burden of our Great Zhou Republic, it's good for the eldest sister to be there...... Guarding a rich Yangtze River, close to the South Seas, you can earn money while lying down! ”

"Eldest sister......" Wu Yiyong frowned, "Third brother, do you regard the Eastern Song Dynasty as an old enemy?" ”

In his opinion, the old enemy is the Western Song Dynasty after all!

Guan Long, Jing Chu has been used since ancient times!

Jiangnan and Jianghuai, although they are gentle and wealthy towns, are not places to fight with soldiers.

"It's my father, who takes the Eastern Song Dynasty as his old enemy!" Wu Yijiu said with a smile, "He thinks that the Eastern Song Dynasty is a country established by industry and commerce, and it is similar to me." It can also rely on the South and Western oceans to obtain huge profits. Jiangnan and Huainan can raise people, and over time, there will be hundreds of millions of people, which is really a big trouble! ”

Wu Yiyong just smiled, noncommittal.

Of course, he could not have imagined the grandeur of the Age of Discovery and the Industrial Revolution. The Western Song Dynasty, which had no relationship with it, no matter how much territory it occupied that had produced elite soldiers since ancient times, could not be the opponent of the Eastern Song Dynasty in the future.

An industrialized world empire of 100 million people, that's American-grade! How could such a country be defeated by a feudal and backward military state?

"Big brother," Wu Yijiu suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Wu Yiyong, his expression was quite serious, "If you are asked to lead the troops to destroy the Eastern Song Dynasty after the completion of the Huanghuai Yun project, will you be able to succeed?" ”

"After the completion of the Huanghuai Yun project?" Wu Yiyong was stunned for a moment, and then said without thinking, "No!" ”

"Why?"

"There is no Yangtze River Naval Division," Wu Yiyong said, "and there is no Xiangyang upstream." It can only march from Lianghuai, and Huaidong has many waters, and Huaixi has many mountains, so it is inconvenient to march.

If it is a large army advance, logistics can only rely on the canal, that is, it can only go through Huaidong. And the enemy only needs to use a bastion to block the canal for a long time.

Once the canal is locked and our army penetrates, there will be problems in the logistical supply of grain and grass.

Moreover, with the Yangtze River in hand, the enemy can mobilize heavy troops for use in key areas at any time through the water transportation of the Yangtze River, which is very convenient and can easily form an absolute numerical superiority in some areas. ”

"How about taking Jing Chu first?" Wu Yijiu asked again.

"It's hard." Wu Yiyong shook his head and said, "Xiangyang Jiancheng...... Only a prolonged siege can be achieved, and it is not hundreds of thousands of people who hold out for several years. But how can the grain and grass transfer of so many soldiers and horses be completed? ”

"That is, you can't beat it......" Wu Yijiu sighed. He had already gotten this answer, and he had obtained it from the Military Machinery Division.

The Metropolitan Military Machinery Division also believed that unless a fleet could be formed that could defeat the Eastern Song Dynasty naval divisions in the coastal inland rivers, Haikou would enter the Yangtze River. Otherwise, it is impossible for the Republican Army to win!

However, the Yellow Water Navy does not mean that it can be had. Since its establishment, the Zhou Navy has been determined to be blue water and likes to build large sail battleships with deep drafts. Near-shore ships that do not pay much attention to the sand ship type are even more neglected for galleys.

The predecessor of the Eastern Song Dynasty Navy, the East China Sea National Naval Division, focused on the coastal naval forces, and the warships were mainly sandboat-type gunboats that could be equipped with the Yangtze River.

Therefore, in coastal and inland operations, the navy of the Republic of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not have the slightest advantage.

And it will take effort and time to catch up with the Yellow Water Navy in this regard, so it is really not easy to defeat the seemingly weak Eastern Song Dynasty.

"Big brother," Takeshihisa looked at his brother, "what do you think of Japan?" ”

"Japan?" Wu Yiyong was a little dazed, this territorial state with a strip of water is really a bit mysterious.

The senior admirals of the Navy may still know a little, and most of them have visited the port of Hakata in Japan with their ships. But Wu Yiyong, an army general (he had already been promoted to the rank), had never been to Japan, nor had he studied the Japanese issue.

"Third brother, why did you ask about Japan?" Wu Yiyong then asked, "Does the ruling government want to use troops against Japan?" ”

"It's not the ruling government," Takeyoshijiu shook his head, "It's the adults who want to conquer Japan!" ”

"Conquest of Japan?" Although Wu Yiyong liked to fight, he never thought of invading Japan.

After all, he didn't have a holiday with the Japanese people. And he will be suspicious of "Yin people crossing to the east" or something. Of course, he would not conquer Japan for the sake of a rich continent that "may exist".

"My lord thinks," said Takeshihisa, holding out two fingers, "Japan has a wide range of gold and silver, as well as copper mines, and once conquered, it can relieve the difficulty of currency, and this is one of them; Although Japan is an island country, its land is not small, its population is small, and the climate and land are suitable for colonization.

Big brother, since the adults are determined to go east, we as sons should still follow. The commander of this Eastern Crusade, or the eldest brother will be in charge. ”

It turned out that Wu Yijiu wanted to send a commander of the Japanese dispatch army to Wu Yiyong.

Behind this dispatch, there is naturally some careful thinking!

Wu Yiyong did not study Japan much, but his younger brother Wu Yijiu found two Japanese factions, Chen Tianli, the military aircraft of the navy, and Fan Zhiwen, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, to study Japan's national conditions again and again.

In the end, it was concluded that Japan was a country with fragmented military power. There were no strong officers and troops, but there were countless armed "village owners", "village owners" and "village chiefs".

And the terrain is also very fragmented, there is only one large plain and only one Bandong Plain - such a terrain is very difficult to concentrate forces to fight, and it is also a battle between cottages, manors and villages. At the same time, it was not conducive to the colonization of the conquerors.

So letting Wu Yiyong send troops to Japan is tantamount to sending him into a quagmire!

It is easy to fight in, but it is difficult to establish a solid rule in order to complete the conquest.

After entering, there are a lot of all kinds of bad things! It will definitely seriously involve Wu Yiyong's energy.

And once Wu Yiyong becomes a Japanese expert, it will not be easy to come out of Japan, because there are so many "village owners", "village owners" and "village heads" in Japan who have no Japanese experts to coax?

Maybe Wu Yiyong has been tripped in Japan for the rest of his life and has become a "Japanese king"!

"What do you mean by this?" Wu Yiyong was a little uncertain.

"Not really." Wu Yijiu said with a smile, "It's just that the junior brother feels that the battle of Japan cannot be handed over to others, and must be firmly controlled by the people of my martial arts." ”

"Why can't you give it to someone else?" Wu Yiyong asked.

Wu Yijiu said: "Isn't that obvious? Japan hangs overseas, although it is not far away, but it is not very close, and if you want to go on an expedition, you must give the lord the right to use moderation. But its country is not small, and it is rich in gold, silver, and brass, and the power of the festival is handed over to others.

Moreover, the country must have invested a huge amount of money in order to conquer Japan. These investments need to be rewarded. How the benefits of the battle of the Japanese will be distributed after victory is also of great importance. I'm really not at ease when I hand it over to outsiders! ”

Have the right to moderation? There is also gold, silver, and brass, and the benefits are distributed...... Wu Yiyong was already a little moved when he heard these words.

The battle of Japan, it looks like you can get a lot of oil and water! Not to mention illegal fishing, it is a legal opportunity to make money, there should be many, right?

Although Wu Yiyong is the son of Wu Haogu, he does not have much property to inherit...... Why not take the opportunity to send troops to Japan and get a lot of money?
