Zheng Lang stood at the bow of the boat, listening to the song, but his eyebrows were furrowed.

Zheng Lang doesn't have the ability to know what the medicine is, and it depends on the effect after popularization, which is the real effect. Faintly Zheng Lang felt its imperfections, the production cost was relatively high, and there were seasonal constraints, even if the potion appeared, Zheng Lang still longed for the cinchona tree.

However, the greatest threat will also play a great role in stopping the malaria epidemic.

Everything has a good side and a bad side, Zheng Lang smelled some negative effects in the air.

When the news was delivered to the capital, Zhao Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he immediately understood the great significance of the medicine, not only the countless living people, but because of this malaria, the south has become the most feared place for northerners. For example, Jiaozhi was rude, and the Song Dynasty has always treated it with a soft policy. It's not just the Khitan and Western Xia in the north who are dragging their legs, but also this malaria and miasma. If you use less soldiers, you will not be defeated, and if you use too much, the army will inevitably be infected with malaria, and many soldiers will die. In this case, the imperial court had to endure the rudeness of Jiaozhi.

If the potion is successful, the spell is half removed.

The significance is not only that, the risk rate of malaria will decrease, and the enthusiasm of officials to go to the south will increase, so that they can transfer some good officials to govern the south as Zheng Lang wished. But where to degrade the officials who made mistakes, so far Zhao Zhen and Pang Ji have not thought about this issue.

There are other positive implications, in short, countless benefits to the South.

The appearance of this elixir is almost a miracle.

Zhao Zhen thought of the song "Youlan Cao" again, and his heart was full of emotion. Han Yu is also a good minister, but unfortunately he was not reused by Tang Xianzong. Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen was quite complacent, at least in terms of employing people, he far surpassed Tang Xianzong.

But Zheng Lang opposes his idea, Zhao Zhen attaches great importance to talents, and almost every romantic character has been reused in his hands, but it is overused. Instead, it has caused some negative effects. But Zheng Lang didn't dare to say this idea, it was also blocking other people's careers, and he would be hated by others.

The implications are many, strictly speaking, because of the use of ether to treat Artemisia annua. It has been out of the realm of traditional Chinese medicine. Originally, the study of physics gradually cooled. At this time, the main goal of studying is still for fame, and the imperial examination does not take the study of Gewu, and there are fewer and fewer people who study Gewu too much after the limelight. However, physics can cure malaria. It has once again attracted people's attention, and a group of students who have studied physical science have been added. This Zheng Lang is not in a hurry, Guan Jian is artillery. Once successful, after revealing its hideous power on the battlefield, even if there are no students to learn Gewuxue. The imperial court will also forcibly send a group of students to learn it.

The artillery had some eyebrows, and although it was unsuccessful, it was also very fast.

Then a lot of news came from Liangguang.

It's not a trivial matter, after hearing that Zheng Lang was going to invest 60 million yuan, every minister attached importance to Liangguang, but most of them believed or doubted, if there was a prospect of Zheng Lang's painting, it would be so wonderful, and it would be worth it to smash 60 million yuan. If not. That's 60 million dollars. Coupled with the cost of the Liangguang War, Jinghu South Road, and so on, it will reach more than 100 million yuan. With so much money, it can almost help Zheng Lang to completely control the Yellow River.

Zheng Lang arrived in Guangzhou, and Cheng Shimeng, Yang Cha, and Cai Ting came to Guangzhou early. Hearing that malaria was cured, several people were also shocked. However, water conservancy is their job, and Tian Yu is also proficient in water conservancy, so Yuan Qian is not an inferior official. Before Zheng Lang arrived, he made a rough plan.

After Zheng Lang arrived in Guangzhou. After several days of consultation with a group of officials, the water conservancy plan was again determined, and in fact this was the third time that the plan was formulated. The first time was a sketch completed by Zheng Lang himself, the second time was a draft revised by Tian Zhou and other officials, and the third time was the result of Zheng Lang's joint discussion with everyone. However, minor adjustments will be made again before construction. …,

This is a big event, Zheng Lang didn't dare to hide it, and played the court.

The plan is divided into two parts, one is the project that will start after this autumn, and it is also divided into sequences to see how many people can be relocated, otherwise these projects will not be able to start due to lack of labor. The order is marked, but in the fold, the imperial court is requested to issue an edict to Fujian Road and the officials of the two Zhejiang Road to cooperate with this immigration activity, mainly Fujian Road, as well as the densely populated, mountainous area, and Fujian Road in western Zhejiang.

Jiangnan West Road was not mentioned, and the people themselves came to welcome them, and they would not be moved to help, which was reserved for the relocation of Guangnan West Road next year. But there is a dividing line, not from the Yangtze River, but from the West Lake Zhejiang, all the way to the Yellow Mountain, Poyang Lake line, to the north of the people are not encouraged to go south, too hot, not only hot, many areas have dense forests, rich water resources, when the weather is hot, the air is full of dense and depressing water vapor. Except for the people in the south, it is difficult for the people in the north to get used to staying here. But as in Taipingzhou, if it is developed, the situation will improve. However, the current sweltering heat is far better than that of Taiping Prefecture, and the time is even longer.

These are humane measures.

As for the question of funds, Zheng Lang publicly asked the imperial court for the first time to use the bank's profits.

The second part is the future planning, which will be several years away, and once the project starts this year, it will create a large number of cultivated fields, as well as sugar cane orchards, orchards, and tea hills, and no matter how they are relocated, there will be a serious shortage of labor. They had to be digested before they could start the next step of planning, but at that time, Liangguang also had its own sufficient financial revenue, and it was not necessary for the imperial court to invest.

Then there are maps, the standards on which are clear, and even a map of each county, that one, that embankment, that weir, are all clearly marked.

Everyone looked at these plans and drawings, smiled wryly, and finally saw that this was for the sake of the future, and the imperial court wanted to benefit from Liangguang, at least ten years later.

But you can't object, can it be said that Zheng Lang did something wrong?

As a dynasty, the longer the better, and you can't just focus on the present. Either learn from Yang Guang and forcibly force the people to work without giving a penny, even if a large number of people are exhausted to death. That official dared to say this! As long as you dare to say it, you will immediately let Yanchen shoot to death. Either learn from Cao Cao and forcibly move the people of Hanzhong to Guanzhong, regardless of the fact that most of the people died, Cao Cao was much better than Yang Guang, but he also did not dare to learn Cao Cao's practice. The relocated people must take the initiative to go and settle down, otherwise Zheng Lang himself will also be attacked by the officials.

After discussing for a long time, Zhao Zhen finally wrote an accurate.

Pang Ji wrote a letter in private, vaguely persuading Zheng Lang, you take a little small step, we really can't bear it.

Zheng Lang replied with a letter to Pang Ji, telling the truth, the steps in the south have been small enough. Once the south is over, the next thing is the Yellow River. This will be the foundation of the country, if the Yellow River is unstable, the north will be unstable. Therefore, the state must operate carefully during this decade. Construction-oriented. Supporting these two projects, soon the Song Dynasty will have a new look, and it will welcome the following plan, Western Xia.

In the summer, the Khitan launched a series of attacks on the northern blockade. The long-term fear, despite the secret support of the Western Xia, saw that it was not exhausting. After autumn, more Khitan troops arrived, and the Northern Rebellion was bound to cease. After this battle. The Khitan and Western Xia were both defeated.

For the time being, the Song Dynasty will be safe.

However, according to the trend of development, after a long war, the Western Xia will have turmoil in the country, the national strength is weak, the country is small, and eventually it will make peace with the Khitan. Although the Khitan hated the Western Xia, the Liao Xingzong was not a faint monarch, and would endure the humiliation and put forward some conditions. Promise to make peace this time. After a few years of development, the national strength of the two countries will be restored to shame. If there is a chance to provoke them to fight again, it is the best, but without a chance, Western Xia will become a big problem for the Song Dynasty. …,

This time will not be very long, maybe only ten years.

Ten years of the state to carry out these two projects. The national strength has increased greatly, and the people have recuperated and recuperated, which can give Western Xia a head-on blow. If you can't do it, the country will be a mess. Western Xia invaded again, and the Khitan pressed from the north. The Song Dynasty was still in dire straits.

Pang Ji was speechless after receiving the letter, so he could only continue to be this bitter prime minister.

When the two were corresponding, Zheng Lang sent people to Fujian Road and western Zhejiang to publicize, and mobilized some authoritative elders among the poor people to come to Liangguang to observe. Instead of looking at the two Guangzhous, some of the farmers who came to do the demonstration were quite successful in farming, and watched their profits. and some other demagogic tactics, and then send these elders back, so that these elders can promote for themselves. By August, they began to officially mobilize the people to go south. Construction of various projects in September. Not as strong as the Grand Canal project, the Grand Canal was forced to labor the people, otherwise Hugh would say 60 million yuan, in the Song Dynasty, it could not be repaired without 300 million 400 million yuan. However, the fragmented projects taken together are also the largest water conservancy projects since the founding of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang left Yue'er in Guangzhou, and from Guangzhou, he went to Hezhou, Fengzhou, Kangzhou, Chunzhou, Xinzhou and Duanzhou to inspect. It is still mainly based on water conservancy, and by the way, learn about the situation in various states. At the end of August, he returned to Guangzhou to preside over immigration activities. As for Guangnan West Road, it was left to Yu Jing, and Guangnan East Road was the main first.

The war on the side of Temo Village started again.

Many soldiers have been cured of malaria, but they still have sequelae, and they have been sick for so long, and their physical vitality has been greatly damaged. It was not until the end of July that many soldiers gradually recovered, and some did not clear well, such as Sima Guang. Don't be the secretary of the marching army, he is one of Zheng Lang's two most proud students, Di Qing Province was afraid of an accident, and forcibly left Sima Guang behind. It just so happened that after Zheng Lang changed his mind, most of the tribes stayed, giving them a chance to repent.

At least after this intimidation, they will be honest for a few years. However, even if there are other ideas in the future, from the rule of one surname to the rule of four surnames, the lack of cohesion will not be very harmful. In this way, the speed is accelerated, Zhao Xun has finished renovating the special grinding road, and as for those particularly remote deep mountains and old forests, no matter who they are, including Nong Xiaqing himself, will not be interested. The troops shrank and suffered heavy losses, from the feint attack at Baoyue Pass to the decisive battle of Wenxiang Bazi, only more than 1,000 soldiers were sacrificed, and less than 2,000 people. A malaria epidemic was devastated, killing 3,000 soldiers. If it weren't for Zheng Lang's timely preparation of the potion, this number would have more than tripled.

Di Qing was also furious, leaving behind those who had not recovered from their illnesses, and then leaving some soldiers stationed there, with 13,000 soldiers, to the west again. Anon also recovered some vitality at this time, and some people saw that the Song army had malaria, thinking that God blessed, and secretly went west to Keyan to meet Anon, plus some of the strong men of the Dali tribes participated, and once again had more than 5,000 troops. When he heard that the Song army was coming, he still wanted to dream that something good had happened, so he set up an obstacle in Keyan.

Di Qing didn't have a word this time, and the army came to Keyan and launched a strong attack, using hot air balloons and a large amount of gunpowder. In just one day, Anon's army was defeated. Di Qing commanded the army to follow behind in pursuit. This battle all happened in Dali, but Dali still held the same attitude as before and ignored it.

Anon led hundreds of remnants of the defeated army, crossed the mouth of the three rivers, and fled to Ho Ni. Di Qing suddenly changed his route, ignoring Ah Nong, who continued to gather in Heni and scattered the deserters, but changed his route to the northwest and suddenly came to the city of Ziningfu. Dali is a landlocked country, except for the south where there are Jiaozhi soldiers, the Song Dynasty is not interested in Dali. When Tibet was divided, the southern Tibetan tribes also could not form a threat. As a result, many of the walls were damaged. The Song army arrived suddenly, and there was no way to resist at all. The Ning Mansion was lost, but Di Qing strictly abided by Zheng Lang's orders and did not do much slaughter. Only a portion of the rebellious army was killed. Then the valuables of the most Ning Mansion were transported to Temo Village. There are not many, although the mosquito is small, it is also meat, which can increase the reward of soldiers and the bereavement of the families of the sacrificed soldiers. …,

Anon continued to gather the deserters from Maguan, Pingbian and the south bank of the Red River in Heni, and Di Qing seemed to have found the wrong direction. The army marched northwest again, and soon reached the county seat of Xiushan, where officials hurriedly organized an army and engaged in a fierce battle outside the city. It was only half a day's work and was defeated by Di Qing. It's not the same as the Temurdo War. It was for the sake of future rule, and the trip was only for destruction, so regardless of the consequences, every battle ended quickly.

won Xiushan County, and finally tasted the sweetness of war in Xiushan County, and gained a lot. Sent troops to the north again, and the front of the army pointed to the Shanxian Mansion (Kunming), the capital of Dali was in Dali City, but the Shanxiang Mansion was also extremely important. It is the second largest city in Dali. It is not far from Shanxifu to Dali. And this line of destruction was severe, not many people were killed, but all the supplies came from the captivity, and the valuable goods were looted.

Duan Silian had no choice but to organize an army to prepare for resistance while sending envoys to negotiate with Di Qing. Di Qing said two questions. The first question is why he took in Nong Zhigao's counter-soldiers, and the second question is that Zheng Lang sent an envoy to ask. Why ignore it?

Duan Silian is helpless, there are still a lot of bad situations in China. Coupled with the pressure of the Song army, it can cause his throne to be unstable. had to promise to send troops to exterminate Anong, and at the same time send envoys to negotiate with Zheng Lang.

However, Di Qing's army continued westward.

When he came to Shanyanfu City, Duan Silian was angry and mobilized many troops to defend the city. However, Dali's closed situation made him ignore one thing. Although the Dali city wall is tall, now the city wall has gradually lost its usefulness. This is also the reason why Zheng Lang accelerated the development of thermal weapons. Otherwise, the transmission of gunpowder technology to the northern nomads would be a nightmare for the Central Plains.

After holding each other for three days, the tunnel was dug up.

After a few loud noises, Shanxian City fell into a huge gap, and the Song army killed it. Originally, there were still a large number of Dali troops in the city, and they could resist. But after this great change, morale was completely lost, and some soldiers even stood in a daze until the Song army was in front of them.

In one day's work, all the cities of Shanxian were lost.

Duan Silian was really scared this time, the Song army only sent more than 10,000 soldiers in this battle, don't forget that it seems that the Song Dynasty had millions of soldiers.

Send envoys to beg for peace, and at the same time send troops madly to encircle and suppress the remnants of Anon.

Anon, Nong Xiaqing and Nong Zhigao's children were all captured, and none of the other remnants of the defeated army escaped, and the mud gradually entered the hinterland of Dali, after all, it is the world of Dali. Anon is only an outsider. The prisoner was dedicated to Di Qing, and Di Qing gave a reply. You Dali have a little bit of repentance this time, but I don't believe it, and I can't be the master, I have to ask Zheng Lang, Zheng Xianggong agrees to withdraw the troops, and I can withdraw the troops. Anyway, there is food and drink in the Shanyan Mansion, there is no need to worry about the supply, and there is a lot of wealth to reward the soldiers, so there is no problem in staying for a year or two.

Duan Silian was dumbfounded when he heard this, don't stay for a year or two, stay for three or four months, and Dali will be in chaos immediately.

Several battles have pushed Di Qing's reputation to the peak, since Song Taizong destroyed the Later Han Dynasty, the Song army has deteriorated, and he never dreamed that the army would actually take the Shanyan Mansion. Some radicals even wanted to go to the book and take the opportunity to take down the whole of Dali.

Zheng Lang made a note in time, and he couldn't be excited. Although Dali resisted, it was clear that the Song Dynasty did not want to destroy the country, otherwise it would not have sent only 10,000 soldiers to Dali, so the fighting spirit was not strong. Once the Song Dynasty revealed its ambition to take down Dali and forced Dali to resist stubbornly, it would not be the situation Di Qing is facing now. It was a battle to defend the country, and Dali's resistance would be ten or dozens of times stronger. The losses of the Song army will be extremely heavy. Even if it is taken down, if it wants to be governed, it must suppress the rebel armed forces in various places, and it can be overthrown with the national strength of the Song Dynasty. But Lingnan has not been cured, and the four roads of Kuixia are a mess, what is the role of Dali?

Di Qing's army invaded the city of Shanyan, just to sign some peace treaties with Dali that were beneficial to the Song Dynasty, and could not be taken seriously.

This dispels the thoughts of a few radical ministers.

Di Qing led the army to stay in Shanxian City and not leave. When Duan Silian and the people of the Gao family saw this situation, they were about to faint one by one, and they were not fighting, nor were they fighting, so they had to send a group of envoys to Lingnan, and what made them most angry was that the prime minister actually ran to Guangnan East Road, not in Guizhou, which increased the time for going back and forth.

In the end, the envoy arrived in Guangzhou, and Zheng Lang had just returned to Guangzhou, promising to withdraw his troops, but put forward one condition, Nong Zhigao was not caught, so Dali would capture Nong Zhigao, and the Song army would immediately withdraw its troops. Duan Silian was dumbfounded again, although he could see that Zheng Lang was not hostile, and it didn't look like the destruction of the Dali Kingdom, but where to get Nong Zhigao. The most headache is through interrogation, some people gritted their teeth and said that Nong Zhigao was in the army, he escaped safely, and sooner or later he would lead a stronger army to take revenge on the Song Dynasty and Dali. Some people say that they only saw Nong Zhigao's family in Temo Village, and never saw Nong Zhigao. Where is this going to catch Nong Zhigao?

But there was one person who was very excited, Liang Shi received one good news after another, and he was so happy in his heart that he almost wanted to shout, Di Qing, you kid is too powerful, even more powerful than I imagined.
