"Sir, this means the amount of work is huge!"
"The demand for money, food, and work will far exceed previous plans!"
Shi Lu looked at Zhao Shu.
He knew in his heart that the purpose of digging canals was for war.
This means that this river channel needs to be dug and completed within a short period of time.
He must tell Zhao Shu so that Zhao Shu can be mentally prepared!
Otherwise, the lack of air circulation will affect the war and the construction of river canals. After all, the construction of river canals is not something that can be completed in a short time.
Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded: "How can digging a canal be completed overnight?"
"It took ten years to dig the Zhengguo Canal to control the internal history of Su!"
"Even though the scale here is not as large as Zheng Guoqu's, it won't be easy!"
Having said this, Zhao Shu smiled at Shi Lu and said, "Sir, there is no need to worry. I am here to solve your worries!"
At this moment, Zhao Shu took the pole, landed it on the map, and said: "I will station an army of 20,000 people here to ensure the smooth construction of the canal."
"First, beware of the Chu army's surrender and cause trouble, and the Chu people's trouble!"
"Secondly, beware of Baiyue causing trouble!"
"Besides, if you want people, I will give you people. If you want money and food, I will give you money and food. If you want power, I will give you power!"
"When spring comes next year, I will lead an army to attack Dongou!"
"Even if the war goes smoothly, it will still take half a year!"
"And now there is still March until winter, which means you have eight months!"
"Of course, rivers and canals are the work of eternity, and the land of Baiyue in the future will be our land of Great Qin!"
"This river is of great importance and is the key to Da Qin's control of this place."
“Quality must be guaranteed!”
"If there is not enough time, the worst I can do is wait for a year in Chudi. If one year is not enough, I will wait for two years!"
"Sir, don't put too much pressure on your heart!"
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Shi Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Shu: "Don't worry, sir, I will complete it in the shortest possible time while ensuring the quality!"
"good!"
Nodding, Zhao Shu turned to Zhang Han and said, "Zhang Han, you stay here to protect Shi Lu!"
"As for the army, I will mobilize the most elite army to come!"
"promise!"
.......
Zhao Shu attaches great importance to the land of Baiyue.
He wants to capture Baiyue, and then capture Yelang, Gouding, and Kunming.
Then, go south along the Lancang River.
Only by capturing Baiyue can he have the strength to capture Yelanggu Town, Kunming and other places. Only with a secure rear can he be able to target the Indochina Peninsula.
Therefore, Baiyue is the key.
This is why Zhao Shu decided to destroy Baiyue after destroying Chu, instead of following the historical process and waiting for the unification of the world before heading south.
Compared to Qi, Zhao Shu valued the south more.
He knew in his heart that once Champa Rice appeared, the entire Great Qin could be supported by the Indo-China Peninsula, Juding, Yelang, Baiyue, and Chu alone.
By then, with sufficient food and grass, Great Qin will be able to achieve a population explosion.
In this life, he will completely integrate this place into the Central Plains and make it his homeland.
Even if Great Qin is destroyed in the future, the next court that replaces Great Qin will continue to regard this place as the homeland of the Central Plains, thereby ensuring that China's territory is large enough.
Only by occupying this place can we connect the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
He wants to take the lead for Da Qin and China!
Following Zhao Shu's order, 20,000 Qin warriors came from Jiuyi Mountain three days later.
Also accompanying him was Major General Wang Ben.
"The general has met the young master!"
Seeing Zhao Shu, Wang Ben quickly saluted and said.
Looking at Wang Ben, Zhao Shu nodded and said, "Young general, you don't have to be polite!"
"I have left Zhang Han and 20,000 troops here, but the surrender of Baiyue and Chu troops will be a big trouble, especially Baiyue, who will not sit back and watch us dig the canal!"
"Major General, I'll leave it to you!"
Hearing this, Wang Ben quickly turned to Zhao Shu and said: "Please rest assured, young master, as long as the general is here, he will definitely clear up all troubles for Shi Lu and ensure the progress of the water project!"
This was the reason for his trip!
Wang Ben knew in his heart that with Zhao Shu's ability and the Qin warriors reserved in Moling, his army was not needed to destroy Dong Ou.
Zhao Shu placed him near Jiuyi Mountain in order to destroy Baiyue.
Instead of waiting for Zhao Shu to send an order, he might as well take the initiative to destroy Baiyue, he is determined to win!
"Well, with the Major General here, I feel relieved!"
Zhao Shu smiled at Wang Ben: "Major General, our army is all from the north, and it is difficult for us to adapt to the environment of Chu, let alone Baiyue!"
"Baiyue is rainy, the climate is humid, the environment is harsh, and venomous insects, snakes, and rats are everywhere, and even some plants, trees, and fruits are poisonous!"
"I will order the doctors to go south to Jiuyi Mountain to study the situation in the Baiyue Land. Likewise, our army must adapt to fighting in this environment!"
"At the same time, let the military doctors teach the soldiers the simplest identification!"
"promise!"
Wang Ben looked solemn. He naturally knew that in order to destroy Baiyue and Zhuyue, Zhao Shu and Da Qin recruited a large number of doctors in Xianyang and set up a field hospital and accompanying army doctors.
In the battle to destroy Chu, this group of military doctors and the field medical workshop played a huge role.
This is also the most powerful event since the Qin Dynasty destroyed the country.
However, Wang Ben knew very well that this large army of Chinese medicine practitioners and battlefield medical workshops were actually prepared by Zhao Shu for Baiyue.
This shows how bad the environment of Baiyue Land is.
...
After informing Wang Ben and Shi Lu and Zhang Han, Zhao Shu left the north bank of the Xiang River with the Iron Eagle warriors and three thousand cavalry.
He wanted to go to Chendi to meet the head of the medical family and Xia Wuji.
Compared to the Land of Baiyue, the environment on the Indochina Peninsula is considered harsh, especially in the north.
At this time, in addition to the soldiers having to adapt to this environment, the needs of doctors and the preparation of medicinal herbs need to be prepared in advance.
Therefore, after thinking again and again, Zhao Shu decided to go to Chendi by himself.
Only by persuading Xia Wuqi and the head of the medical family can they be allowed to come and let the medical disciples go deep into dangerous areas to explore the way for the empire.
Although Zhao Shu also knows that these doctors are very valuable, but compared to the elites of Great Qin, these doctors are the safest if they go deep into the area.
After all, if they were poisoned, they could save themselves!
Of course, once the plan is implemented, it will naturally be accompanied by great Qin warriors, especially light-robed warriors.
Zhao Shu attaches great importance to doctors, otherwise, he would not have established a medical academy.
In this era, the presence of doctors is a symbol of longevity.
