Chapter 681 Magician (1)
"Mr. Zheng, think twice," Zhou Heng said anxiously.
Zheng Lang's military can be certain that his civil servants are above his own, but Jiaozhi is ultimately a country, and he can even use more than 100,000 soldiers to invade. If he encounters the Song Dynasty, he may be Yelang. But that is the Song Dynasty, this is Guangdong and Guangxi. The military of the court does not mean that there are many troops in Guangdong and Guangxi.
Besides, the current situation is not suitable for the war between countries.
"I know the turnover, I know it in my mind," Zheng Lang patted Zhou Qing on the shoulder. Nowadays, the two officials who have many officials can take action. The best ability of officials is not Yang Cha, who was once the chief censor, but Cheng Shimeng. Secondly, it is not Yang Cha and Yu Jing, but Tian Yu. Putting aside the knowledge, Yu, Yang Cha, Cai Ting, Yu Jing, Zhou Qing, Yuan Tao, Bao Ke, and Wei Guan can all be said to be good officials, but in fact there is a slight difference with Cheng Shimeng and Tian Yu.
These two people were thinking about it.
Put your heart into governing the local area, not just talent.
But Zhou Heng followed him all the way, regardless of virtue or military affairs, or administration, they all began to sublimate.
This made Zheng Lang feel very happy. He would not last long in Guangdong and Guangxi. It might be one year, two years, or at most two years. This matter has not ended. At least within these five years, good officials must improve and stabilize.
Then the future direction of Guangdong and Guangxi may become flowers and brocade. Otherwise, it will become one of the largest unfinished projects in the Song Dynasty.
As we looked at the information again, there were not many soldiers heading north from Jiaozhi, only three or four thousand.
They were also watching, even if they decided to invade and did not dare to launch a war between the states, they still used to do so, and under the banner of the Barbarians, they seriously invaded various regions in Lingnan. However, if they wanted to invade this time, the scale would be better than before, so they were still hesitating.
Zheng Lang immediately issued an order, asking Zhong Yan to lead 4,000 soldiers to Yongzhou to take charge.
That's enough.
There are soldiers in Yongzhou. In addition to local soldiers, if Jiaozhi wants to return, he must send more than 20,000 troops. That will become a big gamble. Whether he can be gambled will inevitably cause controversy, and even if he continues to invade, he must make more careful preparations, which can be delayed for at least a year.
You can prepare calmly. If you can fight, you must let the other party follow your own rhythm to take the initiative. Otherwise, if you follow the other party’s rhythm, you will be very passive.
Zhou Cheng was a little worried.
Zheng Lang said: "Don't worry about the turnover. On the surface, we only have nine thousand soldiers, but in fact it's not the same. Zhang Ji's eight thousand soldiers are on the south road of Jinghu. If a war breaks out, at least six thousand soldiers can be drawn. Although the local soldiers are weak, more than ten thousand local soldiers will follow Di Qing west and go through many bloody battles. After being trained by General Di, these local soldiers are no longer the kind of chaotic local soldiers that were the same as before. Although the Jiaozhi soldiers have fought many times and have rich experience in war, they lack military discipline and their weapons and equipment are even worse than our army. Even the army organized by these local soldiers is slightly better than the Jiaozhi army. Eliminate the sacrificed and injured soldiers, the local soldiers who came back safely this time reached more than 8,000. More than 20,000 powerful soldiers, do you still have to worry?"
The most wonderful thing is Di Qingxi’s harvest.
He successively captured the three prefectures in Dali, but did not get much copper coins, but he obtained a lot of valuable materials such as gold, silver, jewelry, jade, and ivory. After Zheng Lang reported the memorial, the court agreed to sell these valuable materials to reward soldiers and provide for the family of the martyrs. Many merchants flocked to Guangdong and Guangxi and quickly ate these materials. The money was made to Guangdong and Guangxi again and distributed nearly one million yuan of coins. The money was once again turned into copper coins, and silver and cloth were distributed. A very thick reward and pension was encouraged, and the soldiers were encouraged, but the families of the soldiers who died were sad and did not complain. If a war was launched, the soldiers would think that there would be gains and actively participate.
In fact, there is more than so much income, and some of them have been put into their pockets. It is inevitable that Di Qing turned a blind eye, and Zheng Lang also turned a blind eye. Don’t listen to the newspaper’s saying that the Song Dynasty army went to Dali without any offense. In the past life, it was public opinion to coax people, but in this life it was public opinion to coax people. The Song army went to Dali without making many bad killings, which was already a kind war.
Or if Zheng Lang had not considered that the relationship between Dali and the Song Dynasty deteriorated, he ordered Di Qing to let go and plunder the big and powerful people, and would have earned more, or even three or four times more. After all, there were three prefectures, and one was the second largest city in Dali.
It is enough to stop. If the money is made too much, Dali will also give the people an explanation, and the two countries will have no room for recovery.
Zheng Lang looked down on Jiaozhi, and his country was small. If it were the Western Xia and Khitan, Zheng Lang would never be so despised. He sent a large number of scouts to sneak into Jiaozhi. He could not detect the small actions, but he could still know the deployment of the large army. He expected the enemy to be the first.
After the order was issued, Zheng Lang no longer had much thought for Jiaozhi and continued to inspect Qinzhou.
The situation of Guangnan West Road is more complicated than that of Guangnan East Road. Almost 90% of the people are barbarians and the terrain is more complicated.
In the planning of Guangnan West Road, water conservancy projects are divided into four parts.
The first is Lingqu, which cannot be underestimated by the ancients. The choice of Lingqu canal is very clever, such as Longchuan and Anyuan water, Wengshui and Taoshui, Leishui and Shuiwuxi, and Miskyshui and Guangshui. Both are not very far away. However, the water source upstream is insufficient, so it does not support the irrigation and navigation tasks of a canal.
Ling Canal was also maintained in the Song Dynasty. Because Guangdong and Guangxi did not pay attention to it, the manpower and material resources were not invested, and the effect was not great. Zheng Lang had two plans, one was to redirect other water sources to expand the water flow of Ling Canal, but it seemed difficult to reverse. There was another way to extend the length of Ling Canal to make it flat. Then there was more irrigation areas, and the steepness decreased, which could also reduce the steep gates, which was conducive to ship navigation. The second method was to strengthen the Ling Canal embankment, dig deep and wide, and not change its length, and continue to be built along the old canal. In this way, steep gates must be added to control the steepness of Ling Canal, and the ship can still sail. Even after the expansion, the tonnage of ship navigation increased accordingly. However, one steep gate can wait for one steep gate, and the navigation speed will become very slow and the cost will also increase, but the construction difficulty and cost will decrease.
There is only one choice of two methods. Zheng Lang has not considered it well yet. When he went south, he carefully looked at the Lingqu and found that it was almost all earthen embankments, which is definitely not possible.
The second is the Acacia Temple in the Ming Dynasty. In the southern part of Guizhou, a canal that is more than 30 miles long. It connects the Li River to Liu River, which is conducive to water transportation, and is more conducive to the development, commercial exchanges, and water conservancy irrigation in several states. When this canal is opened, the entire north of Guangnan West Road will be revitalized. If it is connected with Lingqu, it will be integrated with Jinghu South Road and even the Central Plains.
The third is the pond, which is clearly different from Guangnan East Road. Most of the mountains and hills are everywhere in Guangnan West Road. Basins and river valleys are often formed between mountains and mountains. As long as the dikes are built between the two mountains, each pond can form one pond. Some ponds are still large in area. For example, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Shenbei of Yangshuo can irrigate more than a thousand hectares of fields, Jiangcun of Hechi can irrigate thousands of hectares of fields, Pinglehao of Longbei can irrigate more than a thousand hectares of fields, Tonggu of Xuanhua can irrigate 1,600 hectares of fields, and some small ponds can only irrigate a few hectares of fields, similar to large and small ponds, which can reach nearly a thousand places on Guangnan West Road.
However, their respective forms are different, and the low-lying areas are lower than the water level line all year round. They are purely waterproofed by the embankment. The terrain is slightly flat, and can be drained or irrigated, similar to the surrounding area of Taihu and Zhejiang. The terrain is high and the water-driving has become the authentic slopes of Guangnan East Road and Fujian Road.
The prospects are promising, but they must be carefully planned, otherwise they will be very messy.
The fourth is the weir barn. The weir is a water conservancy project that can store and drain water. The most famous one is Dujiangyan.
The dam is just a dike. For example, the later Gezhou Dam and the Three Gorges Dam are water blocking and power generation.
But Zheng Lang launched a water dam on Guangnan West Road.
This dam is under the water most of the time and is used at the Shangyuan River and streams of various rivers. It is suitable for Guangnan West Road, but it is very inappropriate in other areas. For example, the Yellow River has insufficient water flow, and if it is part of it, it will be extremely bad.
This problem does not exist on Guangnan West Road, and the water flow is the highest in the country. Therefore, this kind of water-in-water dam appears.
Water-in-water dams are directly set up in each stream upstream. During the dry season, water-in-water dams are exposed to the water surface. If the stream water is blocked and not flowing downstream, the water can be directed to the shore for irrigation. Once the water flow increases, it will spread out of the water-in-water dam and flow downwards, and there will be no waterlogging disasters. This is also something that happened in the Ming Dynasty. Xu Xiake first came to Guangxi and heard the thunder rolling in the river. He was puzzled and came to watch, and then marveled at the surprise of the water-in-water dam, which was deliberately recorded in his travel notes.
But Qinzhou is different. The main body of Guangnan West Road is Yushui and major tributaries, such as the Li River and the left and right rivers. These main trunks and major tributaries are mostly plain river valleys around them, and areas lacking rivers become hilly areas. However, it is different in several small states in the south.
Qinjiang in Qinzhou, Yanshui in Yulinzhou, Longhuashui in Rongzhou, and Wuchuan in Huazhou, all of which are outside the Yushui River Basin.
The flow seasons of these rivers are obvious. During the rainy season, the rivers are wide and large and small during the dry season. The rivers are not very long. There are alluvial plains of alluvial plains of all sizes downstream. The fertility of the alluvial plains is useless, but it is quite troublesome to manage. If you want to manage, various forms of water conservancy will appear, such as weibei, weibei, dam, haitian, and seawall. Almost all water conservancy forms in Guangdong and Guangxi are concentrated, and some will intertwined together. Not only that, because the rivers are short and there is no other flow to accommodate them, typhoons come, and mountain torrents will break out.
Nowadays, barbarians are leaning on the mountain to slash and planting, which is not very harmful. Once alluvial plains are developed, the dangers of mountain torrents will be very great.
Moreover, because of the frequent occurrence of mountain torrents, a large amount of mud and sand are taken away, which is not only man-made damage, but also the rivers and terrain determine this result, resulting in more sand in the Beibu Gulf region. It has an advantage, which will form a good natural bathhouse, but there are more disadvantages. It is difficult to sail in sea boats and the difficulty of water conservancy construction increases.
There are still ways to let the sea boat walk deeper, do not sail along the coastline, use iron locks to lower the large iron anchors, tie driftwood on the iron locks and float to the sea surface, write eye-catching big characters on the driftwood in red paint, and use standard waterway directions to dig several safe routes from the Beibu Gulf. Build more ports along the way to avoid typhoons. The sea boats can arrive here safely.
This is not a problem. It is a key factor. It is still a key factor to develop the local population, increase the local population and generate commercial value. If the business prospers, it will be easier to start Qiongzhou in the future. If it weren’t for the bad country of Jiaozhi, or even the successful development of Beibu Gulf, it would be helpful to the development of Chameng and Jiaozhi. If you want to develop, you must find a way to solve this complex and small terrain.
So Zheng Lang slowed down in Qinzhou, Yulinzhou, Lianzhou, Gaozhou, Huazhou, Leizhou and Rongzhou, and saw it very carefully. He even went deep into the areas where the Shengbarbarians lived several times.
Zheng Lang's wonderful ideas made officials from Guangdong and Guangxi amazed.
Like a dam in the water, why has no one thought of such a simple truth since ancient times?
For example, there are so many mud and sand in the Beibu Gulf and so many sea boats travel. Why is no one telling that it is related to the short rivers and many typhoons in the Beibu Gulf states, which lead to the number of flash floods?
But in the capital, a magician is turning into a great magic.
Liang Shi!
The development of Guangdong and Guangxi has also increased the affairs of the court, and the ministers have not changed much. Pang Ji is still like Zheng Lang, and he is in charge of the two prefectures. The rest is a slight change in the Western Prefecture. Wang Yiyong seeks retirement due to illness, and appointed Gao Ruonne as the Privy Councilor, Wang Yaochen, Sun Mian and Fu Bi as the deputy envoys. The Eastern Prefecture is still Liang Shi and Liu Han, and he does not mention Pang Ji. Compared with Gao Ruonne, what is lacking is qualifications. Compared with Fu Bi and Wang Yaochen, Liang Shi lacks morality and fame. Compared with Liu Han, what is lacking is the ability to govern the officials. Only one person is compared, Sun Mian.
Of course, if you rank by position, you will really squeeze Pang Ji down, Fu Bi, Wang Yaochen, Sun Mian and Liu Mian are definitely behind him, but don’t forget that there is another person in front, Gao Ruonne.
To take a political affairs officer of the Communist Party of China, he defeated two big bosses, Pang Ji and Gao Ruonai, this cannot be described as difficult, but to make a conclusion with the words "Impossible". Moreover, there are several people behind him, Fu Bi is missing? Wang Yaochen is missing? Although Sun Mian was the deputy minister of the Western Prefecture, he also made great contributions in the south. Liu Mian's political achievements made all the ministers in the court praise him.
It was such a pattern, but Liang Shi was dreaming of being a prime minister.
But this key is not Gao Ruonai, but Pang Ji. Who dares to underestimate Master Pang's scheming? That is a person that even Zheng Lang is afraid of.
Gao Ruonai put it aside first, so Liang Shi thought hard and fell down.
Then I thought of a key point, Di Qing.
As long as Di Qing was supported as the Privy Councilor, Prime Minister Pang Ji would collapse halfway.
The emperor followed his advice and ordered Di Qing to return, and Liang Shi was overjoyed.
The biggest controversy during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song began, and a great magic legend of villains would also begin.
