Chapter 418: Hundred Yue Yutu
The pioneer commander was selected as if it were child's play. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, everyone present, whether civilian officials or military generals, did not dare to have any complaints. In addition to the majesty of Yingzheng, Ren Huan's age and merits also made them unable to find any reason to oppose it.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and it will take a certain amount of time to rush from Xianyang to Changsha County. Therefore, Ren Huan almost didn't stop, and set off the next day.
Although most of the Qin troops in this southern expedition were from Changsha County, because the generals were all elites selected from Xianyang, their combat power was still undoubted.
What's more, when the Han and Chu coalition forces fought against Baiyue, Baiyue was not its opponent. Fighting the well-equipped Qin army, not to mention.
Therefore, when the Qin army marched towards Nanling, those Baiyue, who couldn't even find some decent weapons, were not the opponents of the Qin army at all.
Even those cottages, in front of the Gongyi family's trap beasts, are like papier-mâché.
However, considering the problem of food supply, although Ren Huan's offensive speed was very fast, the offensive side was a little narrow.
However, although Baiyue was on the frontal battlefield, he was not the enemy of the Qin army. However, after all, few of the soldiers of the Qin army lived in the mountains and forests.
With their familiarity with the mountains and forests, Baiyue's soldiers were always able to give the Qin army a sneak attack in the dark.
These sneak attacks did not cause much loss to the Qin army, but they seriously affected the rest of the Qin army. At the same time, the ubiquitous sneak attack was also a mental torture to the soldiers of the Qin army.
As the days passed, the weather gradually warmed up. The trees that had withered began to gradually regain their vitality.
Those snakes, insects, rats and ants that disappeared for a season have also slowly recovered. The miasma between the mountains and forests began to spread again.
In Xianyang, a piece of letterhead from Baiyue was quietly placed on Yingzheng's table.
"Father, General Ren has lived up to his trust and has defeated the main forces of Yang Yue, Han Yue, and Wu Yue.
It's just that it's almost summer. The weather is getting hotter, many soldiers, especially generals, most of them are people from Guanzhong, the difference in winter is not too big, and when summer comes, I am afraid that many soldiers will fall ill.
Moreover, Mitsukoshi's thief heart is not dead, and he often sneaks up on the imperial army, and in the long run, I am afraid that it will cause the morale of the army to be shaken......"
Under the main hall, Li Si, Wei Yi, Feng Zheng and other important ministers are all there. And Fusu, who was reporting to Ying Zheng, was obviously extremely familiar with the war in Baiyue, and everything could be told eloquently.
Ying Zheng saw that Fusu was becoming more and more proficient, and nodded with satisfaction, but then said, "You have one more thing to say." As soon as summer arrives, the food and grass in the army will be a big problem. ”
Baiyue is different from the Central Plains, the milder climate makes Baiyue the same cold in winter, but there is rarely snowfall.
Therefore, the road in the mountains is easier to walk. However, as the weather gets hotter and hotter, it must rain a lot between the mountains and forests.
The mountain roads are already difficult to walk, and once it rains, it is even more difficult to transport food.
Fusu lowered his head slightly, making a deaf look.
Soldiers and horses go first before moving grain and grass, which is the most basic common sense of soldiers. Even if you are not a soldier leader, you will know this truth. How could Fusu really not notice?
Privately, Fusu also discussed with his first staff member Chen Ping many times more than once, and came to the conclusion that either roads or canals should be built, otherwise, it would be difficult for grain and grass to pass.
However, it is not an easy task to build roads or canals. With huge manpower and material resources, even if Fusu now has a lot of authority, he can't make decisions.
Above the main hall, after a moment of slight silence, Ying Zheng finally spoke.
"Linzi, how is the straight road between Linzi and Shouchun built?" Ying Zheng looked at Li Si on the side and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, with those 200,000 Hun slaves, presumably, the repair can be completed by the autumn of this year." Li Si arched his hand and said.
In order to build roads between the counties, the empire requisitioned a total of 300,000 men. And those Huns were all mobilized to build the road between Linzi and Shouchun.
Obviously, from the very beginning, Yingzheng already had a plan.
"From among the people who were requisitioned from all over the country, 150,000 people were selected, their families were moved, and they traveled to the land of Baiyue. Build a canal to transport grain and grass! ”
"Your Majesty, the construction of the waterway is not a day's work, is it too early to transfer so many people at this time?" Li Si frowned slightly and said.
As the head of the hundred officials, especially after Feng Quji stayed in the capital, Li Si had many more opportunities to contact government affairs than before.
I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Li Si always feels that whether it is the Xiongnu or Baiyue, it is about these foreign races, and Yingzheng will always seem to be particularly concerned.
And in this concern, Li Si also vaguely sensed a hint of nervousness or anxiety.
"The excavation of the canal is not a one-day task, but requires a constant study of the hydrology, which alone will take at least two or three years. By the time the hydrological survey was completed, presumably the straight road between the counties was almost completed. Li Si said with a frown.
Although he disobeyed the will of Yingzheng a little, he still had to say that otherwise, once the more than 100,000 people and the larger family members arrived in the land of Baiyue, idleness was the second, and the heavier grain and grass were the top priority.
"I, don't you know this?" Ying Zheng's majestic voice made Li Si like a man's back.
"The minister is reckless!" Li Si hurriedly knelt down and saluted.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si who was kneeling on the ground, and was slightly silent for two or three seconds before he said, "Get up, I also know your difficulties." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, Lord Zheng Guo and General Li have arrived." At this time, at the door of the main hall, the voice of a eunuch came.
"Biography!"
Soon, Zheng Guo and a middle-aged general walked to the main hall together.
Zheng Guo, everyone present has seen it before. On the contrary, the General Li beside Zheng Guo made everyone look twice.
Because, what he is wearing is the standard armor of the Heavenly Army, and the grade is not low.
Ying Zheng didn't wait for the two of them to salute, so he said directly to Zheng Guo: "Aiqing has been famous all over the world since Zheng Guoqu. However, I still have to worry about Aiqing now. ”
"It is an honor for a minister to serve His Majesty." Zheng Guo arched his hand and said respectfully.
"In the land of Baiyue, grain and grass are difficult to reach, and I want to build a canal to transport grain to the hands of all armies. The stakes are big, manpower, and I have prepared it for Aiqing. If Aiqing has nothing important, she will be able to leave in a few days. Ying Zheng looked at Zheng Guo and said.
After Zheng Guo heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then said in a panic: "Your Majesty, it is not tolerable to repair the canal, and it is even more ...... to survey the hydrology."
Before Zheng Guo's words were finished, he was interrupted by Ying Zheng's wave.
"General Li, in the land of Baiyue, there must be no one in my Great Qin army who is more familiar with you than you. I may entrust this matter to you? ”
"Li Kai is more effective than death!" Li Kai said with some excitement.
Ten years have passed, and after reuniting with his wife and daughter, Li Kai has not only grown old, but has a taste of being younger and younger. People in their fifties still look like they are in their forties.
"Smack! Syllable! ”
Ying Zheng clapped his hands gently. The eunuch, who had been preparing for a long time, respectfully held a delicate paper book and slowly presented it to everyone.
"Father, this is ......" Fusu glanced at the paper book, only to see that the text on the cover was vaguely related to Baiyue.
"This is the map of Baiyue that I obtained from South Korea more than ten years ago. Originally, it was a number of bamboo slips, which were written by the former Huoyu Gong, recording all the landscapes and landscapes of more than 100 miles of land.
Not only that, but on top of this book, there is also a record of detoxification of poisonous insects and miasma between the mountains and forests. Now, I have ordered all the contents on the bamboo slips to be translated into Qin seals. Presumably, this thing will be of great benefit to the empire's war in Baiyue! ”
