Chapter 278: Use magic to defeat magic

On the banks of Hongze Lake.

"Just start here!"

Yang Dashuai stood on the embankment and pointed at his feet and said.

The soldiers who followed him immediately stepped forward and set up a flag where he pointed.

"You are inconsistent with Pan Yinchuan's approach."

Li Zhi said.

Well, the slack season is coming soon, and it is time to start water conservancy construction.

The major project that Yang Dashuai has carried out this year is the irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu. The autumn harvest is still continuing in various places. Once the autumn harvest and sowing are completed, militia teams will pour into northern Jiangsu, and then they will start digging artificial rivers starting from Yang Feng's feet and going east to the sea. It is planned to be completed by the spring next year.

Of course, if you fail to achieve it, you will continue until next winter.

However, there should be no problem, because Yang Feng's irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu is much smaller, and the Huaihe River does not rely on it to release floods at this time. After all, there is a Yellow River in the north, which is only used for flood diversion during the flood season. However, the main function of ordinary people is to divert the Huaihe River water to irrigate millions of acres of fertile land. However, his plan is a destruction for Pan Jixun's plan to store and clean yellow. Although the degree of damage is not very serious, it is contrary to Pan Jixun's idea, which is to artificially create the difference in the water level of Hongze Lake and the Yellow River.

Then wash away the silt sediment at the transport port.

"He is the first priority to ensure the transportation of canals. I don't care about the reduction of the transportation of canals. The shipping is enough to ensure that. Besides, the capital now does not need four million stones per year."

Yang Feng said.

His principles are different from Pan Jixun.

He wanted to ensure that Hongze Lake would not flood the surrounding area, and at the same time, use the already formed lake water to dig water to irrigate the northern Jiangsu Plain.

It also ensures that the Huai River is as safe as possible.

As for the canal transportation, it is really not the target he is focusing on...

The canal transportation is no longer important.

This year, the food transported northward will exceed 500,000 shi.

The rice fields in Tianjin after the river digging were dug, which increased 500,000 shi of surplus grain to the north. Including the increase in land reclamation in other places, Guangshuntian and Yongping can provide 1 million shi of surplus grain to the capital, and 500,000 shi transported in Shanghai, in fact, the actual transport of canal to the north is only 2 million shi.

As for private commercial transportation, it has nothing to do with Yang Feng. Besides, the transportation port is not completely silted, but rather has become shallows due to silt accumulation.

Such a load of canal ships is difficult to pass through.

But as long as private merchant ships are profitable, they can hardly be replaced with small ships.

Moreover, Pan Jixun's design was not scrapped because Yang Feng also wanted to increase the Hongze Lake embankment at the same time. He even prepared cement. The higher the embankment, the better. No one knows when the Huaihe River will have a flood that will be once in a century and once in a thousand years. As long as you don't want the entire northern Jiangsu to be flooded, this embankment must be raised. While increasing the embankment, the outlet can basically be protected by northern Jiangsu.

In fact, it is not just the irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu. Small reservoirs are also being built on a large scale in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. He really dare not build large reservoirs, but small reservoirs can.

And Shaobi.

This ancient irrigation project has been reduced to a small pond due to the land reclamation of surrounding gentry.

This winter, Yang Feng has ordered the mandatory cleaning of all farmland in the reservoir area.

In this way, some of the upstream rivers will be intercepted during the flood season.

After all, if he wants people to clear the land in Fengyang, he must first solve the problem of the Huaihe River to a tolerable limit.

But there is the Yellow River.

He also had to release the Yellow River to continue to manage the Yellow River to ensure that he would not break the ridge to Huaibei.

This problem is much more difficult than that of the Huaihe River.

"You don't care about anything except farming!"

Li Zhi said.

He is still playing the role of the imperial master, using his fallacies and evil sayings to deceive the emperor, and at the same time act as a contact between His Majesty the Emperor and the Fujian-Guangdong Group. However, the latter just wanted to get His Majesty the Emperor for free. Li Dan was carrying the imperial edict, wearing his imperial flying fish suit, and acting as a blessing in the South China Sea, just like Zheng He's rebirth. However, he is ruthless than Zheng He. In fact, he is contacting Fujian-Guangdong, which is commercial strongholds everywhere. In fact, he is mainly a southern Fujian merchant, forming a maritime alliance to fight against European colonists.

Of course, there is also Zhejiang Susong Group.

To be more precise, he actually wanted to form a Ming version of the East India Company.

At this time, Fujian and Guangdong were all divided into one sense. On the surface, they each respected their own family, but in fact they were both separated from the court.

Just as they were talking, a Red Turban Army officer appeared under the embankment on a horse and was then brought over by Yang Hu.

"The General, Xuzhou Li Du General reported that Shandong bandits captured Yizhou and Yan Shenggong was killed!"

After he saluted, he presented a document and said.

"Well?"

Yang Feng took it in shock.

"This is to use magic to defeat magic!"

Then he exclaimed at the news of his old friend's death.

The bandits in the Yimeng Mountains were so serious that they not only ambushed and killed Yan Shenggong. After killing Yan Shenggong, they even quickly gathered 100,000 people and then directly captured Fei County. Xingdutang in Yizhou immediately mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress it. As a result, the encircled and suppressed officials and soldiers mutiny, and then joined forces with the bandits to attack Yizhou. Xingdutang had to flee from Yizhou in a hurry...

However, he did not flee north, but went directly to Xuzhou and ran from Xuzhou to Guide.

The bandits who captured Yizhou elected a small school in Yizhou to claim to be the general of the Three Realms to eliminate demons, and put forward the banner of helping Ming and destroying monsters, and now the chaotic times of the Ming Dynasty...

Well, I can already see what's going on.

In short, the bandits occupying Yizhou were in trouble with the demon Yang Feng, and Yaosheng Hongguang was the emperor, and then openly rebelled in Shandong.

Defeat magic with magic.

Marshal Yang never thought that Shandong gentry would use bandit tactics to deal with him.

This has nothing to do with them. Anyway, it’s not their resistance. This is a rebellion by bandits, and they are also victims.

Didn't you see that even Yan Shenggong was killed?

Since even Yan Shenggong was killed, these bandits were naturally the enemies of Shandong gentry. Xing Dutang was all mobilized in Guide to prepare for encirclement and suppression. However, there were not many soldiers in Henan, so it would take time and it might take longer.

As for what Yang Dashui said about going north to capture the nine Wang Ni tribes...

That's his business.

If he could destroy the bandits for the Shandong gentry and avenge Yanshenggong, the Shandong gentry would thank him.

"Master, that little school has changed its name."

The Xuzhou garrison staff who came to deliver the letter said carefully.

"What's the name? It's not like killing Yang, right?"

Yang Feng said.

"Uh, it's actually killing Yang."

The staff officer said.

"Is there anyone with the surname kill?"

Yang Feng asked.

"There is indeed a surname of killing among the surnames. It is said that the surnames were taken as official positions during the Warring States Period, but the number was very small, so it was indeed difficult to meet, but this surname does exist."

Li Zhi beside him said with a smile.

"I'm going to see if they kill sheep or Yang."

Yang Feng said speechlessly.
