Chapter Twenty-Three: He Xi's Achievement

He Xi became magical, nothing else. It's a land boat.

These boats were collected by He Xi from the Liao River. Still others are ready-made.

These small boats are not much bigger than the canopy boats in Jiangnan. It's not too heavy, and these boats can be pulled by a horse-drawn cart. The closest distance between the Liao River and the Songhua River will not exceed 100 kilometers. It's just that this section of the watershed mountain road is rugged. Therefore, it is necessary to go farther away. But it will not be more than one hundred and fifty kilometers, that is, three hundred miles.

He Xi built a wharf at the closest place to the Liaohe River and the Songhua River. A wharf was also built on the corresponding Songhua River, and seven or eight military stations were built for the distance of more than 200 miles, with 30 miles as a station. Station-by-station transfer.

The grain went north from the Liao River and went to the Songhua River by land through this section. Then through the small boat on the Songhua River, the grain is transferred.

At the same time, He Xi also built a small shipyard on the wharf of the Songhua River.

I don't deal with wood, I just build some boats on the fly. Used to transport grain, this is still Yang Zhen's inspiration to He Xi, just like the weapons of the Soviet Union, it has never been about durability, and it is the same now, He Xi does not need the ships here to last only for decades or hundreds of years, as long as they can last for this year.

It only takes a few months.

However, this does not mean that everything is foolproof.

There's a lot to do here.

First, determine the location of the Great Army.

In order to determine where the army was, He Xi could only send the best night of the Liaodong Army, chase after Lan Yu's ass, and report to him in time.

It's a bit difficult, but it's easy to solve.

The most difficult thing is the temporary planning, the route from the rear to the front.

I have to say that the Northeast Plain is covered with a dense water network, which helped He Xi a lot. But taking the waterway is not without its problems. The problem is that these natural rivers are not groomed. A lot of problems will arise. There will be no such thing as a waterfall. After all, the height difference on the Northeast Plain is very small.

The sudden appearance of shoal rapids is the problem.

The rapids can only be relied on by the boatman's means. And He Xi is mostly novices here, after all, he is a northerner, and he is relatively poor in the skill of boating. Therefore, the boat repeatedly capsized in the middle of the river. He Xi hasn't calculated the wear and tear yet, and thinks it's about thirty percent.

Fortunately, it is in the river, and because the boat is small, the channel designed by He Xi is also close to the riverbank. Therefore, most of the grain that sank into the water can be salvaged. The grain is wet, it just can't be stored. It's not that you can't eat it.

Moreover, He Xi mobilized almost all the strong men in Liaodong, and there were about 100,000 people who followed He Xi out of the customs. These people are also going to eat.

Therefore, whenever there is a rapid, He Xi stays on the shore to be a transit station on the way. Second, it is also used to salvage grain and remind passing ships.

However, the shoals are even more difficult to manage.

How shallow are the shallows?

The banks of the river are covered with stones, and under the long-term washing of the current, the stones below look like mirrors. It's calm. There are only a few inches of water, and the impact is not strong. The man rolls up his trouser leg and walks over. In the afterlife, it is simply a good place to play.

But such a river is not passable for any boats at all.

There was no way, He Xi set an example, personally got off the boat, tied the bow of the boat with a rope, and several people pulled and pushed the boat through this section of the shoal. There are three such shoals in the river, of course, each with its own use, and there is a pebble bottom.

Some are relatively close to the shore and can be pulled on the shore.

Fortunately, as mentioned earlier, the Songhua River flows northward, and this downward flow is of great help. Otherwise, this time the transportation will be a hundred times more difficult.

In short, within half a month, He Xi overcame all kinds of difficulties and transported the first batch of military rations of about 10,000 stone to the camp. Although Wanshi grain, it is not too much. But the news is exciting enough.

When He Xi personally escorted the grain to the barracks.

Feng Sheng came to greet him personally. patted He Xi on the shoulder and said; "Good. Good. Good. I didn't expect you to do it. ”

He Xi said: "This is only the first time, and after the river is repaired in the future, there will only be more grain and grass that can be transported every month, not less." ”

Feng Sheng said: "You came at the right time, today is the celebration banquet. Come. ”

Immediately, Feng Sheng took He Xi to the big tent of the celebration banquet.

It was a golden tent, and the tent was large, with hundreds of squares underneath. All the generals with heads and faces are here. But I haven't sat down yet.

Feng Sheng stood at the top and said; "Your Majesty has been preparing for several years, and the future is finally complete. But drink water and think of the source, and you can't forget Your Majesty's careful arrangement. Feng Sheng stood facing south, saluted respectfully to the south, and said: "Minister Feng Sheng, I wish Your Majesty a long life and a great victory." ”

Everyone, including He Xi, got up, saluted south, and said loudly: "Your Majesty has a long life, and Daming has a long life." ”

Feng Sheng can get to this position, ability is important, but being able to come to things and things will come is probably one of the reasons.

Feng Sheng said; "I've got a few chairs here today. The first one is Yongchang Hou Lanyu, who led 30,000 elite soldiers, crossed thousands of miles, faced several times the enemy, and broke the camp and broke the courage. This merit must be marked in history. Sapphire, sit here. ”

The secret agreement between Feng Sheng and Lan Yu was probably done. I don't know what interests Feng Sheng has transferred, anyway, Lan Yu is very cooperative, which is more of a sloppiness. So at the moment, the relationship between the two people is in the honeymoon period. Feng Sheng naturally lifted the blue jade well.

Lan Yu's character is naturally unyielding. He got up and sat down at the top of the house, bowed to everyone with his hands around his hands, and sat down proudly, and that posture did not seem to be saluting just now. Rather, it is a demonstration.

Feng Sheng said; "Second, it is He Xi, the governor of Liaodong. He had already sent the first batch of rations. Wanshi is just the first batch. Now we have no worries about food and grass. Helping the army and protecting the grain road, He Xigong is the best. He Xi, you come here to sit. ”

He Xi hurriedly got up and said; "I just did what I was supposed to do. It's just a matter of duty. If you dare to be above you. ”

Although He Xi did what he did, it was very hard. But as he said. He doesn't think he has much credit for what he has done. There is no one in history. The battle was also won, and there were discrepancies in the details. But the general trend has not changed, and Naha's will is not firm. In the end, he was forced to surrender.

And he didn't go into battle in person.

It's just that He Xi doesn't know the situation.

Because this battle is too easy, too easy. Although these people came over in a mighty way, except for Lan Yu, no one can bear it, Fu Zhong is Lan Yu's deputy general, who has really been in battle, has military merits, let him receive the second merit. Don't talk about others, Fu Youde was the first to disagree.

The credit of his son, in the eyes of many, can be done by sending a fool. jumped on so many uncles and uncles, and it was not so offensive to offend people. Others, Feng Sheng's 200,000 people along the way, that is bloodless.

It's almost an out-of-the-box exercise.

In such a situation, it is not appropriate to give it to anyone.

He Xi appeared, first of all, everyone knows that He Xi is His Majesty's beloved son-in-law. I like that very much. Secondly, He Xi really has credit this time. trekking through mountains and rivers to maintain the food routes of hundreds of thousands of people. Especially in uninhabited places. Everyone knows how difficult it is.

In the end, He Xi is a civil official. What a reward. Naturally, it is martial arts before literature, and it is also exempted. The generals are not embarrassed to make meritorious contributions here.

Another point is to make Lan Yu nod.

Lan Yu's eyes are higher than the top, and there are not many people who can make Lan Yu fall in love. And He Xi is one of the few people who has this ability.

Sure enough, Lan Yu said, "Lord He, don't shirk it." It's your credit, no one can take it, and if it's not your credit, you can't take it. ”

As soon as Lan Yu made a statement, other generals also expressed their positions. After all, they also know that it is not suitable for any of them to sit in this position, so they can accept it if they let His Majesty love his son-in-law.

However, there is one person who has the wrong vision, it is Zheng Guogong Changmao.

He looked at He Xi, his eyes were red, and he also resented Feng Sheng in his heart. In his opinion, Feng Sheng didn't take care of his son-in-law at all, and he was extremely eccentric. is even more jealous of He Xi, just because he married a princess, he has risen to prominence. I secretly regretted in my heart: "I know that after marrying the daughter of this goods, I don't have the opportunity to marry the princess." ”
