The biggest problem with the diversion of water from the northwest is evaporation, even if the water from Puchanghai is irrigated by the farmland, half of it will be lost, and if the distance is more than 20 miles, more than eighty percent may evaporate.

Although the surface of Puchanghai Lake is not small, the annual flow of water is limited, and if it is used casually, it is likely to evaporate and become a barren land.

This wave of craftsmen brought with them the method of making cement, and they used the very abundant volcanic ash in the Western Regions, plus quicklime, to make cement.

In the aqueduct, the underside is paved with cement slabs so that the water does not sneak away.

The skeleton is also made of cement slabs, and then covered with reed mats, and the water flows in it, and it does not evaporate or leak.

A five-mile-long canal was repaired, and the cool water flowed out from Puchanghai, and the people scooped out buckets of precious clean water at the water intake, and then carefully poured it on the crops.

The wheat fields everywhere are rising gratifyingly, and the sorghum is rising steadily.

The people of Khotan gathered around the fields, laughing so hard that their wrinkles opened.

I've never seen such a good crop in years!

As long as there is no destruction, autumn is sure to be a good harvest year!

We have a home again!

Xizhi!

Here you go!

We fight!

From now on, no one will be able to snatch our homes!

Fight to the end!

In the name of the Metropolitan Protectorate, Zhang Dun also promulgated a new decree.

Those who participated in the militia and assisted in guarding Pu Changhai, those who beheaded those who had their heads killed were immediately promoted to Han Chinese, and those who fought with the army three times in a row and showed loyalty and reliability could be promoted to one rank.

As for those who have already obtained the status of first-class residents, if they have made military achievements, they will be given priority to official positions, get more fiefs, and can also get slaves.

Moreover, Zhang Dun also announced a clause that all those who have made meritorious contributions in war will receive a medal.

It is divided into bronze, silver and gold, as long as you have a bronze medal, it means that you shed blood for the Great Song Dynasty, and you are the most loyal warrior of the Great Song Dynasty.

A good incentive system is not about how much you give at a time, but whether it is fair.

Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing both learned from Wang Ning'an that if they want to win back people's hearts and gain support, they must be given room to rise and have the hope of promotion.

If you give too little, you will be disgusted and stingy, and if you give too much, you will be rewarded with nothing.

It's just right now.

It is absolutely impossible for the people to protect their homes and improve their status.

Needless to say, all boys, over the age of 12, must be incorporated into the militia and trained.

As for the women, they are no exception, they do not need to be integrated into the team, but there is no problem in logistics, they can be medical soldiers, cook, and do laundry.

Wang Ning'an also sent a group of military doctors, and they selected 300 women to receive medical training.

In the land of the Western Regions, there is no distinction between men and women, where women are used as men and men are used as livestock! As for livestock? Even the most loyal horses, camels, had to be skinned and made into jerky to be used as military rations as long as they died.

There is no way, for them, there is no luxury to waste money.

In the open space next to the aqueduct, there was a militia training school, and many teenage children, holding knives and guns made of tree branches, practiced meticulously, and did not even dare to wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

Not far from the children, there were a few tenacious poplar trees, and under the shade of the poplar trees, Murong Qingchen was standing with his hands in his hands.

"You're looking at children—no!" Lu Huiqing shook out from behind him and said to himself: "No matter how much the children practice, this time it will be useless to deal with Xizhi!" ”

"What do you mean by being useless!" Murong Qingchen was not convinced, he sneered: "I want these half-sized children, I don't understand anything, and I am still stunned." Red-eyed, I gave them a bowl of wine, everyone hung a grenade, and rushed into the enemy pile! Murong Qingchen scolded: "Those who are horizontal are afraid of being stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of dying!" ”

Lu Huiqing smiled slightly, "Okay...... You're just hard-mouthed! I can tell you that the effect is very good, as long as Xizhi is defeated, within two years, as long as two years, the aqueduct in Khotan's hometown can be built at least 200, which is 8 times as much as destroyed! ”

"When will I ......" Murong Qingchen's eyes widened, and he was about to argue, when Lu Huiqing stopped him with a wave of his hand, "If you think it is less, take more prisoners, and the more you catch, the more slaves will be built in the Western Regions, and the faster it will be built...... You person, don't always pretend to be cruel and tyrannical, and look treacherous, but your heart, liver, and lungs are soft, boring, really boring! ”

"You're boring! Your whole family is bored! ”

Murong Qingchen was angry, he hated Wang Ning'an!

To run the Western Regions, just send me alone, why send so many people?

Even if there is a Zhao Zongjing, he actually sent Lu Huiqing? Isn't that a blockage for me?

Wang Xianggong, you are too tricky!

Of course, Murong Qingchen only dared to slander.

He is not convinced by anyone, but Wang Ning'an.

This prince played with the checks and balances of power without any fireworks.

Let Zhao Zongjing look at Murong Qingchen, the little prince doesn't have that ability, but Zhao Zongjing can see Lu Huiqing, and Lu Huiqing can contain Murong Qingchen.

In this way, several people in the Western Regions will form a delicate balance, so that there will not be the slightest loss of control, and they will not hinder each other and ruin big things!

That's all it takes, Wang Ningan also saw through Murong.

Although this kid is ruthless and has no scruples, he is a person after all, and when he dreams back at midnight, he will feel guilty and blame himself.

Destroying the qanats is a matter of retribution for the creation of heavenly iniquity!

Murong Qingchen did not hesitate, but could he really get by on his conscience?

Also, those Khotanese and Uighurs, when the war is over, will they be jealous of Murong Qingchen?

At this time, Wang Ning'an sent craftsmen and brought valuable cement technology.

gave Murong Qingchen a step, and also gave an explanation to all the people in the Western Regions.

The Great Song Dynasty can not only destroy a world, but also create a world, you just have to rest assured!

Returning to the general's temporary residence, Murong Qingchen was full of emotion.

He lifted his robe and slowly knelt down in the direction of Xijing.

"The prince is above, and his subordinates are served! Completely convinced! Only Xianggong Wang is here, Murong only has his liver and brain, and he will never dare to have other thoughts! ”

After kowtowing, Murong Qingchen got up, dusted off his clothes, and sat down in front of the map again.

His head was spinning rapidly, and one after another intrigues kept popping up - Xizhi, you're in trouble!

……

"Xizhi has a great cannibal elder by his side!"

Wang Ningan has already bid farewell to Zhao Zhen and returned to the northwest to sit in the town again.

As the Sichuan army moved north, the time was ripe for a general offensive.

Wang Ning'an faced a few henchmen and muttered, "Murong judged that Xizhi's army would not be able to attack Pu Changhai until half a year. I think it's wrong, he underestimated the religious fanaticism, and it is very likely that Xizhi will be desperate and will only be able to attack in three months. I have already passed the book to Murong and told Murong that he must prepare for the worst, and if there is no possibility of winning, he must persist for three months! ”

Wang Ning'an turned around suddenly, "Zhugong, three months, that is to say, we still have half a year to go, we must defeat Western Xia and open up the Hexi Corridor!" This was the last mobilization coordination meeting before the war, and when everyone returned, they had to be ready for war. ”

Chong Xu, Chong E, Zhe Kerou, Wang Ningze, Wang Shao, Liang Dagang and Li Wujian, who had just been transferred from Youzhou, all straightened up and listened, and there were two other Xianggongs who were on an equal footing with Wang Ning'an, one was Di Qing and the other was Jia Changchao, and they also nodded frequently.

It's time to fight to the death!

Jia Changchao took the lead and said: "Jingping, the old man has already explained to the local officials, and they have all gone down to the villages and towns to visit the old gentry from all over the country. The Western Xia has been a disaster for a hundred years, and the people of the northwest are bitter hate, this time the imperial court raised troops to destroy the Xia, and the people of the northwest are willing to support it! The old man has gathered 500,000 people and 100,000 chicken buses! When necessary, the old man personally pushed the cart to the front line! As long as there is a soldier who can't eat enough and can't wear warm clothes, the old man is willing to hand over the white head! ”

Jia Changchao said earnestly: "Our generation, including Fan Xianggong, who just passed away, we have suffered too much in the hands of Li Yuanhao, and the opportunity for revenge has come, old man, please you!" ”

I have to say that Jia Changchao is a powerful faction, and it may not be possible to fool Wang Ningan, but these young generals were all moved, especially Wang Ningze, who was about to cry.

What a good old man, I really don't understand, why does my brother always let himself guard against Jia Changchao's family, I really can't figure it out!

After Jia Xianggong finished speaking, Di Qing also said: "In this operation, I will concentrate the main force on the east of the Jingsai Military Division, which is also the most heavily defended place in Western Xia, and now the strength of both sides exceeds 500,000, and they are dying here." I want to make a situation, that is, the Great Song Dynasty wants to break through Hengshan and take Xingqing Mansion directly. In fact, the 30,000 Sichuan Army, as well as the 10,000 cavalry of Hebei, were all arranged on the Western Front to break through from the front line of Liuling and attack Liangzhou. ”

Speaking of this, Di Qing looked at Wang Shao, "How about Qingtang's side, how many people can be dispatched?" ”

"Thirty thousand!"

Wang Shao replied very simply, "There are 10,000 and 33 people in Yeli Yuqi, and Qingtang could have dispatched more, but Wang Ninghong led 10,000 people to maintain the roads in the Western Regions in Caotou Tatar's territory." Qingtang has to take care of two directions, to send food and ammunition to the Western Regions, and to deal with the army of Western Xia, and the pressure is not small. ”

Wang Ningan smiled, "Zichun, can you hold it?" ”

"No problem!"

Wang Shao was high-spirited, "Wang Xianggong, Di Xianggong, the lower officials have already contacted the various departments of Tubo, it's a big deal for me to release these people, let them enter Western Xia, and give Li Liangzuo a little color!" ”

Di Qing Zhengse said: "This is the next policy, what we want is the entire Hexi Corridor, and we can't let others get involved!" ”

Wang Shao said with a smile: "Didn't the lower officials say that they had no choice but to use it!" ”

Wang Ning'an saw that everyone was talking about it, and smiled slightly, "Okay, basically follow this strategy, and all walks of life will immediately dispatch troops and generals, and within a month, launch a general attack!" ＂

sent everyone away one after another, and in the end, there was only one Wang Shao left.

"Wang Xianggong, I didn't tell the truth just now, in fact, it is not the Tibetan tribes, but the Qiang people."

Wang Ning'an's eyes rolled, "It's the old fox who fooled him, right?" ”

"Wang Xianggong is wise, it is a top Qiang tribe, a total of 100,000 people, all of whom will surrender to the Great Song Dynasty!"
