Seven days later.
At the top of the Chu city, banners of the Qin Dynasty were flying everywhere.
The black bird flag of Da Qin flutters in the wind and makes a hunting sound.
Declare to heaven and earth that this land belongs to Da Qin from now on.
At the same time, thirty thousand young men were sent to Moling and became a member of the great Qin warriors.
As for the food and grass, they just delivered 30,000 shi!
Three hundred craftsmen were delivered on the third day.
The Chu tribes all knew that Thirty Thousand Young People was their pledge of surrender to Zhao Shu, and was used by Zhao Shu to contain them.
Naturally, I don’t dare to mess around.
As for money and food, they need time to raise and transport it, which naturally takes a long time.
Moling shogunate.
"Sir, there is news from the Hidden Palace that a part of the Chu family has rushed to Qi State with their people, money and food!"
Yinwei walked in and said to Zhao Shu.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu took a sip of herbal tea and said in a faint tone: "I don't know whether to live or die!"
"People can leave, but the money and food must stay!"
"Let Yin Gong and Hei Bingtai provide information, and let the cavalry pretend to be horse bandits!"
"Our army is going to conquer Dongou, but we are short of money and food!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Yinwei turned and left.
A look of solemnity appeared in Zhao Shu's eyes. He knew in his heart that the integration of Chu Land had just begun.
Population records and land measurement are both huge problems.
Mengtian flooded Yingshou, which accelerated the demise of Chu State, but also destroyed some files, making it more difficult for Qin to control Chu.
It can be said that Meng Tian left the trouble to him.
"Sir, all of Ying Shou's case files have been sent to Moling!" Zheng Guo said to Zhao Shu, "Our people are sorting out the case files!"
"At the same time, the selection of officials in Chu is also in progress!"
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded: "To govern the internal history of Chu, we need to recognize the old officials in Chu and combine their virtues and talents!"
“Put morality first!”
"You are responsible for these things!"
"Inform Shi Lu that the construction of the canal must begin immediately!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Zheng Guo turned to Zhao Shu and said, "Master, are you planning to attack Eastern Europe now?"
"no!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu shook his head: "I am going to go to Shi Lu. As for the Chu land, it will be decided by Zhisu Neishi."
"When Zhang Cang arrives in Moling, after the handover, Zhi Su Neishi will immediately rush to the canal construction site to provide guidance on water matters!"
"promise."
Nodding in agreement, Zheng Guo also looked solemn. Shi Lu was his disciple. Naturally, he was also a little worried about digging the canal.
Although he was extremely reassured about Shi Lu's abilities, he naturally had to be cautious as the construction of canals was related to Qin's war against Baiyue.
…
"Send the order, Li Xin is in charge of Moling!"
"promise."
Zhao Shu turned to Zhang Han and said: "Zhang Han, you will lead my personal guards and three thousand Great Qin cavalry to follow my son to the river canal construction site."
"promise."
After giving the order, Zhao Shu and Zhang Han rushed to the canal construction site.
Three days later, the group finally arrived.
After receiving the news, Shi Lu led the water control officials to greet him: "I, Shi Lu, have seen the young master!"
"I've seen the young master before!"
Turning over and dismounting, Zhao Shu said to everyone: "No need to be polite, everyone get up!"
"Thank you, sir!"
"Go to the shogunate!"
"promise."
After entering the shogunate, Zhao Shu took a sip of herbal tea and looked solemn. He knew in his heart that the canal construction site was related to the victory or defeat of Qin's conquest of Baiyue.
When the great Qin warriors went south again, their support base could only be located in the Chu region, and the farther south they could reach, the better.
In this way, the establishment of storage camps, the establishment of weapons and armor workshops, the recruitment of corresponding chariots, horses and people, etc., are actually unprecedentedly huge operations.
In the expedition to Dong'ou, the money and food provided by the Chu tribe were enough for Zhao Shu to easily capture Dong'ou, but for Baiyue, it was beyond his reach.
Therefore, to destroy Baiyue, logistical supplies are the key.
This is also the reason why Zhao Shu insisted on transferring Zheng Guo and Shi Lu and started building canals just after the destruction of Chu.
"Shi Lu, do you know a lot about the construction of canals?"
Hearing this, Shi Lu nodded and said: "Sir, after receiving the military order, I began to come to visit the local area."
Having said this, Shi Lu walked to the map, pointed at Zhao Shu and said, "Master, please take a look!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu stood up and came to the map with a tea cup in his hand.
"Sir, this large mountain range runs from the south of the Xiang River from the northwest to the southeast coast. They are: Tailing, Qitian Ridge, Dupang Ridge, Mengzhu Ridge, and Yuoling."
“The locals call it Wuling!”
"I have visited and found that to the north of the Five Ridges, all water flows into the river; to the south of the Five Ridges, all water flows into Guangdong; each of the two major water networks goes its own way."
Having said this, Shi Lu dropped the pole in his hand and said in a solemn tone: "Master, this is the Xiang River, and this one is Li Shui."
"The Xiangshui River flows into the Yangtze River to the north, and the Lishui River flows into the Guangdong River to the south. If we want to completely connect the two major water systems, this is the only place."
"Looking at the north and south of the Five Ridges, only the two rivers are closest here. In this place, there is only a big mountain between the two rivers."
"I have conducted field surveys and found that the actual distance between the two rivers is less than thirty miles."
"As long as we dig mountains and canals, we can divert the Xiang River into Lishui!"
"At that time, with the water flow of two rivers, it only needs to be a few feet wide and ten feet deep to deliver grain and grass to the land of Baiyue!"
.......
Looking at the map, Zhao Shu pondered for a long time, pointed at the map, and said: "According to your label, the mountains are high in the south and low in the north. It is easy to enter the Xiangshui River from Lishui. However, if you want the Xiangshui River to flow into Lishui, I'm afraid it will be a long time." It’s hard!”
"The flow of water, I think, always flows from high to low. If you want low water, high flow..."
Hearing this, Shi Lu nodded.
He knew in his heart that a military master like Zhao Shu must not be ignorant of these things.
After all, water attacks must be used frequently as a general.
He naturally understood the meaning of Zhao Shu's words.
At this moment, Shi Lu took a sip of herbal tea and said to Zhao Shu: "Young master, it is difficult to do this, but it is not impossible!"
"The first one is the Xiang River. During the excavation, stones were built at the mouth of the canal to form a mouth. The stone stone was used to penetrate thirty miles into the Xiang River and divide it into two parts against the force of the Xiang River."
"Use the stone to arouse the mighty water force and press the Xiang River into the mouth of the canal!"
"Once the water flow accumulates, it can gradually increase and eventually follow the rock."
"At the same time, when digging the channel, pay attention to going around the mountain, so you can go up from such a low water!"
"Secondly, away from the water, the channel opened spirals up from the mountain and flows down from the mountain!"
Having said this, Shi Lu raised his head and glanced at Zhao Shu, who was listening carefully, and said in a solemn tone: "Doing this means that the distance between Xiangshui and Lishui is only more than thirty miles, but it takes more than a hundred miles to open a canal. !”
"...."
