"Zheng Xianggong, think twice," Zhou Xin said eagerly.

Zheng Lang's military talent is definitely above his own civil servants, but Jiaozhi is ultimately a country, and even can use more than 100,000 soldiers to invade, and if it collides with the Song Dynasty, it may be Yelang. But that was the Song Dynasty, this is Liangguang, and the fact that the imperial court has an army does not mean how many troops there are in Liangguang.

Moreover, the current situation is not suitable for initiating state-to-state wars.

"Zhou Zhuan, I know it in my heart," Zheng Lang patted Zhou Xin's shoulder. Now there are many officials who can get their hands on it, and the best government ability is not Yang Cha, who served as the middle of the imperial history, but Cheng Shimeng, followed by Yang Cha and Yu Jing, but Tian Yu, aside from the school question, the rest, Yang Cha, Cai Ting, Yu Jing, Zhou Xin, Yuan Xuan, Bao Ke, and Wei Qian can all be said to be good officials, but there is actually a slight gap with Cheng Shimeng and Tian Yu.

These two people are attentive.

Put your heart into governing place, not just talent.

But Zhou Xin followed him all the way, whether it was morality, military affairs, or official governance, they all began to sublimate.

This made Zheng Lang feel very happy, he would not last long in Liangguang, maybe one year, maybe two years, at most two years. This mess is not over, at least in the next five years, it must be perfected and stabilized by good officials.

Then the future direction of the two Guangxi may become flowers and brocades. Otherwise, it will become one of the biggest unfinished projects of the Song Dynasty.

As he looked at the intelligence again, there were not many soldiers who went north in Jiaozhi, only three or four thousand.

They are watching, even if they decide to invade. They did not dare to start wars from country to country, and they still used the banner of barbarians to seriously infringe on the regions of Lingnan as before. But if you want to invade this time, the scale will be better than before, so you are still hesitating.

Zheng Lang immediately issued an order, asking Chong Ge to lead 4,000 soldiers to Yongzhou to take up the town.

That's all there is to it.

There are also soldiers in Yongzhou. Coupled with the native soldiers, if Jiaozhi wants to return with a big victory, he must send an army of more than 20,000 people. That's a big gamble. Whether you can bet or not, there will be controversy about Jiaozhi, even if it continues to invade. It also requires more careful preparation, which can take at least a year.

You can prepare calmly, you can fight, you must let the other party follow your own rhythm in order to take the initiative. Otherwise, if you follow the other person's rhythm, you will be very passive.

Zhou Xin is still a little worried.

Zheng Lang said: "Zhou Transfer, don't worry, we only have 9,000 soldiers on the surface, but in fact, there are more than that." Zhang Qi's 8,000 soldiers were on Jinghu South Road, and if war broke out, at least 6,000 soldiers could be sent over. Although the native soldiers were weak, more than 10,000 native soldiers followed Di Qing to the west and went through many bloody battles. After General Di's training, these native soldiers are no longer the chaotic native soldiers they used to be. Although the soldiers of Jiaozhi had many battles and had rich experience in warfare, they lacked military discipline and their weapons and equipment were even inferior to our army. Even the army organized with these native soldiers is slightly superior to the army of Jiaozhi. Eliminate the sacrificial. With the wounded soldiers, the number of native soldiers who returned safely this time reached more than 8,000. More than 20,000 powerful soldiers, still need to worry? ”

The best thing is Di Qingxi's harvest.

Successively conquered the three cities of Dali, and did not get much copper coins, but got a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, jade, ivory and other valuable materials. After Zheng Lang's performance, the imperial court agreed to sell these valuable materials to reward soldiers and compensate the families of martyrs. It just so happened that many merchants poured into Liangguang and quickly ate these supplies. Let Liangguang get nearly one million dollars. Again, the money was distributed in the form of coins, silver, and cloth. A very generous reward and bereavement was encouraged by the soldiers, and the families of the sacrificed soldiers did not complain although they were sad. If the war is started again, the soldiers will feel that they will continue to gain and will participate enthusiastically.

In fact, there is not only so much income, but some of them are put into the pockets of soldiers, which is inevitable. Di Qing turned a blind eye, Zheng Lang also opened one eye and closed one eye, don't listen to the newspaper that the Song Dynasty army went to Dali, Qiu did not commit any crimes, in the previous life it was a coaxing public opinion, and in this life it is still a coaxing public opinion. The Song army went to Dali without doing many bad killings, which can be regarded as a benevolent war.

Or if it weren't for Zheng Lang's consideration of not wanting the relationship between Dali and the Song Dynasty to deteriorate, he ordered Di Qing to be more ruthless and wantonly loot the big families, and his income would be more, even three or four times more. After all, there are three prefecture cities, and one is the second largest city in Dali.

If it is too much for these money systems, Dali will also give the people an explanation, and the two countries will have no room for recovery.

Zheng Lang despises Jiaozhi, the country is small, if it is Western Xia and Khitan, Zheng Lang must not be so despised. Send a large number of scouts to infiltrate Cochin, small actions can not be detected, and large army deployments can still know a little. Anticipate the enemy before the opportunity.

After the order was issued, Zheng Lang didn't pay much attention to Jiaozhi anymore and continued to inspect Qinzhou.

The situation of Quang Nam West Road is more complicated than that of Quang Nam East Road, where almost ninety percent of the people are barbarians, and the terrain is more complicated.

In the planning of Quang Nam West Road, the water conservancy project is divided into four parts.

The first is the Ling Canal, can not underestimate the ancients, the Ling Canal is very ingenious, like Longchuan and Anyuan water, Weng water and peach water, Leishui and Shuiwuxi, water and light water, both are not very far away, but the upstream water source is insufficient, it does not support the irrigation and navigation task of a river canal.

The Lingqu was also repaired in the Song Dynasty, because the two Guangxi did not pay attention to it, and the manpower and material resources invested were not much, and the effect was not great. Zheng Lang had two plans, one was to redirect water sources from other places to expand the flow of water in the Ling Canal, but it seemed difficult to do so, and there was another way to extend the length of the Ling Canal and flatten it. Then there are more irrigated areas, and the steepness decreases, which can also reduce the steep gates, which is conducive to the navigation of ships. The second way is to strengthen the embankment of the Ling Canal, dig deep and widen, do not change its length, and continue to build along the old canal, so that the steep gate must be increased, the steepness of the Ling Canal must be controlled, and the ship can still sail, and even the tonnage of the ship navigation will increase after the expansion, but one by one the steep gate will wait, the navigation speed will become very slow, and the cost will also increase, but the difficulty and cost of construction will decrease.

You can only choose one of the two methods, Zheng Lang hasn't thought about it yet, when he went south, he carefully looked at the Ling Canal, almost all of them were earthen embankments, which definitely didn't work.

The second is the Acacia Dai of the Ming Dynasty. In the southern part of Guizhou, there is a canal that is more than 30 miles long. The connection between the Li River and the Liujiang River is conducive to water transportation, and is more conducive to the development of several states, commercial exchanges, and water conservancy and irrigation. With the opening of this canal, the entire north of Quang Nam West Road will be revitalized, and it will be connected with the Ling Canal. It will be integrated with Jinghu South Road and even the Central Plains.

The third is Pitang, which is clearly different from Guangnan East Road. Most of the large and small peaks and hills on Quang Nam West Road are all over the place, and the basins and river valleys are often formed between the mountains, as long as the embankment is built between the two mountains. It can form a Pitang, some Pitang area is still very large, for example, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Yangshuo Shenpi can irrigate more than 1,000 hectares, Hechi Jiangcun can irrigate more than 1,000 hectares, Pingle Moo, Longpi can irrigate more than 1,000 hectares, Xuanhua Tonggu Pi can irrigate 1,600 hectares, there are also some small Pipi can only irrigate a few hectares, similar to large and small Pitang, in Guangnan West Road can reach nearly 1,000 places.

But their forms are different, low-lying. Perennial than the water line is lower, purely leaning on the embankment waterproof similar to Jiangdong Wei, the terrain is slightly flat, can be drained and irrigated, similar to Taihu Lake and Zhejiang. The terrain is high, and the water diversion has become the authentic slope of Guangnan East Road and Fujian Road.

The outlook is impressive, but it must be carefully planned, otherwise it will be chaotic.

The fourth is the weir dam, the weir is a water conservancy project that can store and drain water, and the most famous is Dujiangyan.

The dam is just a levee. Those that play the role of holding back water, such as the later Gezhou Dam and the Three Gorges Dam, one is to hold back water and the other is to generate electricity.

But on Quang Nam West Road, Zheng Lang launched a kind of water dam.

Most of the time, this dam is under the surface of the water, used in the upper source of the rivers, and it is suitable in the west road of Guangnan, but it is very inappropriate in other areas, such as the Yellow River, which has insufficient water flow, and if it is cut off, it will be terrible.

This problem does not exist in Quang Nam West Road, where the water flow is the highest in the country. Hence the emergence of such dams in the water.

Set up a dam in the upstream stream directly to intercept the flow, in the dry season, the dam in the water is exposed, the stream water is intercepted, not flowing downstream, the water can be directed to the shore for irrigation, once the water flow increases, it will sprawl out of the dam in the water by itself, flow downward, and there will be no waterlogging. This is also the Ming Dynasty appeared in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiake first came to Guangxi, heard the sound of rolling thunder in the river, puzzled, ran to watch, and then marveled at the surprise of the dam in the water, deliberately recorded in the travelogue.

Unlike Qinzhou, the main body of Guangnan West Road is Yushui and major tributaries, such as the Li River and the Zuojiang River, which are mostly surrounded by plain river valleys, and the areas lacking rivers become hilly areas. However, in the southern states, it is different.

The Qinjiang River in Qinzhou, the Yanshui in Yulin Prefecture in Lianzhou, the Longhua Water in Huazhou in Rongzhou, and the Wuchuan Water in Huazhou are all independent of the Yushui Basin.

The flow of these rivers is obvious in the season, the rivers are wide in the rainy season, the rivers are narrow in the dry season, the rivers are not very long, and there are large and small alluvial plains downstream. The fertility of the alluvial plains is unquestionable, but it is quite troublesome to manage. If you want to deal with it, there will be various forms of water conservancy, such as polders, weirs, slopes, dams, fields, and seawalls, which almost all the water conservancy forms in the two provinces will be concentrated, and some will be intertwined with each other. Not only that, because the river is short and there is no other flow to accommodate, typhoons arrive, flash floods occur.

At present, the barbarians rely on the mountains and slash-and-burn farming, which is not very harmful, and once the alluvial plain is developed, the damage of flash floods will be great.

And because of the large number of flash floods, a large amount of sediment is carried away, not only man-made destruction, but also rivers and topography determine this result, resulting in sandy in the Beibu Gulf area, which has the advantage of forming a good natural bathing area, but has more disadvantages. It is not easy for sea vessels to navigate, and the difficulty of water conservancy construction increases.

There are still methods, let the sea ship go to the depths, do not sail along the coastline, and then use iron locks in the depths to lower the big iron anchor, tie driftwood to the iron locks, and float to the surface, write eye-catching large characters on the driftwood with red paint, and dig several safe routes from the Beibu Gulf in the direction of the standard waterway. Build more ports along the way to avoid typhoons. The sea boat will be able to get here safely.

This is not a problem, the key is to develop the local area, so that the local population can increase, can generate commercial value, business prosperity, and it will be easy to start Qiongzhou in the future. If it weren't for the bad country of Cochin, or even the successful development of the Beibu Gulf area, it would have helped the development of Champa and Cochin. In order to develop, it is necessary to find a way to solve this complex small terrain.

So Zheng Lang slowed down in the southern areas of Qinzhou, Yulinzhou, Lianzhou, Gaozhou, Huazhou, Leizhou, and Rongzhou, and even went deep into the areas inhabited by the barbarians several times.

Zheng Lang's whimsical ideas amazed the officials of the two Guangzhou.

Like a dam in the water, such a simple truth, why has no one thought of it since ancient times.

For example, there is a lot of sediment in the Beibu Gulf, and so many sea vessels come and go, why does no one say that it has something to do with the short rivers and typhoons in the Beibu Gulf, which leads to the high number of flash floods?

But in the capital, a magician is turning into a great magic.

Liang Shi!

The development of the two provinces has also increased the affairs of the court, and the prime ministers have not changed much, and Pang Ji is still like Zheng Lang, with the right to control the two governments. The rest is that the West Mansion has changed slightly, Wang Yiyong seeks to be a member of the government with illness, and Gao Ruone is the privy envoy, Wang Yaochen, Sun Wei and Fu Bi are the deputy envoys, and the East Mansion is still Liang Shi and Liu Xin, not to mention Pang's nationality, compared with Gao Ruone, what is lacking is seniority, and compared with Fu Bi and Wang Yaochen, Liang Shi lacks virtue and fame. Compared with Liu Xin, what is lacking is the ability to govern. The only person who can be compared is only one person, Sun Wei.

Of course, if you rank according to the position, you will really squeeze Pang Ji down, Fu Bi, Wang Yaochen, Sun Wei and Liu Xin will definitely be ranked behind him, but don't forget, there is another person in front, Gao Rune.

With a governor of political affairs, he overthrew the two bigwigs Pang Ji and Gao Rune, which cannot be described by difficulty, but concluded with three words: impossible. Besides, there are several people behind, is Fu Bi poor? Is Wang Yaochen bad? Although Sun Wei was the deputy minister of the Western Mansion at the beginning, he also came back from making great contributions in the south, and Liu Xin's political achievements were praised by the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

is such a pattern, but Liang Shi is dreaming of being the prime minister.

But this Guan Jian is not Gao Ruune, but Pang Ji, who dares to underestimate Pang Taishi's scheming, that is a figure that even Zheng Lang is afraid of.

Gao Ruone put it aside first, so Liang Shi meditated hard.

Then I thought of a key Jian, Di Qing.

As long as Di Qing is put in the position of privy envoy, Prime Minister Pang will fall by half.

The emperor followed his advice, Zhao Diqing returned, and Liang Shi was overjoyed.

The biggest controversy of Song Renzong's time begins, and a great magic legend of a villain will also begin. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
