Chapter 348

Seeing Zhao Jianguo's change, Wang Jing didn't say much, and beckoned him to come to him and walked towards the temporary house on the shore.

"Brother Zhao, you came at the right time. Here is a detailed topographic map of the south bank of Gaoyou Lake. Let's take a look, from which direction can the river be dug through in the shortest time."

Wang Jing said.

After Zhao Jianguo absorbed Yu Wenkai's inheritance, his life level continued to change, and he now had the aura of a fourth-order creature.

The talent of inheritance makes him full of energy, and he has some vision and ability that ordinary people cannot touch in supervising the construction of canals, palaces, and various equipment and tools.

Even Wang Jing can't compare with him in this aspect.

There is a specialization in the art industry.

When it came to the fields he was familiar with, Zhao Jianguo's original awe and unfamiliarity with Wang Jing, who hadn't seen Wang Jing for a long time, all disappeared, and he picked up the map unceremoniously to observe carefully.

watched for a while.

Zhao Jianguo smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this is just a trivial matter. As long as the manpower and material resources are guaranteed, I will be able to dig the river channel in fifteen days instead of one month!"

At this time, Bu Zhi, Fu Youde, Yang Kan and other civil and military generals followed.

When they heard this, everyone was a little shocked.

Bu Zhi said: "Mr. Zhao's words are serious? This river course is related to the strategy of the Southern Expedition Army. It is very important, and we must not deceive others with big words!"

Zhao Jianguo frowned suddenly.

Some dissatisfied said: "Since I dare to say this, I am sure that the work will be completed within fifteen days!"

Although Bu Zhi has a high position and authority, Zhao Jianguo doesn't have much fear of him.

As Wang Jing's aura grew stronger, his coercion became heavier day by day.

But Bu Zhi's personality is not ostentatious, and he practices the orthodox Confucian method, without that aggressive edge.

Zhao Jianguo dared to argue with him, but in front of Wang Jing and Fu Youde, his tone and attitude must be different.

Wang Jing didn't give the two a chance to argue, and said directly: "Okay, since Brother Zhao said so, I will leave all the work of digging the river to you, Tang Shengzong! I appointed you as the director of the river to be responsible for the assignment of the 30 laborers." , follow the arrangement of Director Zhao!"

Tang Shengzong, who was standing on the edge of the civil and military forces, immediately stepped forward and respectfully accepted his orders.

The afternoon of October [-]th.

On the day Zhao Jianguo came to the South Bank, he quickly assigned the craftsmen under his command to draw a slightly winding red line on the map.

The red line is the river channel, which avoids the hills that are difficult to dig in a short time. Although there are a few miles of detours, it can speed up the speed of digging the river channel.

According to the design of the construction department, if the river channel is to pass through building ships and warships, it must be at least ten feet wide and three feet high.

Only in this way can there be enough space.

Wang Jing and the many civil and military personnel of the Huai army completely let go of these, and handed over the power of digging the river to the construction department.

A large number of cloud carts were transported from the warship.

Tang Shengzong dispatched the young and strong laborers who were crowded together by Tang Shengzong long before the craftsmen from the construction department arrived, and set up camp along a vertical line.

At this time, with an order, a large number of young and strong people rushed out of the camp, and under the guidance of the craftsmen of the construction department, they began to dig the land with all their strength.

The excavated soil was quickly transported to the barren hills on both sides by the cloud cart.

The south bank of Gaoyou Lake, which is dozens of miles away, is suddenly crowded with people and the sky is full of heat.

A lot of dry food and water are piled up next to it.

The 30 young and middle-aged people were divided into three waves, and they took turns digging day and night.Even at night, on the mounds formed by piled up soil on both sides, burning lights can illuminate an area of ​​hundreds of feet.

The flames soaring into the sky can be clearly seen standing on the walls of Gaoyou City.

When the Huai army began to mobilize the young and strong to dig the river.

Yang Shuang often came to the city wall, watching the slightly red night in the far distance and remained silent.

He sent out a large number of spies.

At this time, he didn't care about the spies being hunted down by the Huai army, and tried every means to find out the news, and even dispatched small groups of elites from time to time, trying to make surprise attacks and make trouble.

But every time the elites were dispatched, they were discovered and wiped out as soon as they landed.

Wang Jing sent Yang Kan and Wang Bi to patrol along the shore of the lake, not giving the Sui army any chance to make trouble.

October tenth.

In just three days, a ravine appeared in dozens of miles of wilderness. With 30 people digging day and night, it is impossible to change the world, but it is more than enough to move mountains and fill rivers on a small scale.

On the thirteenth, half of the river channel had been dug.

fourteenth...

While the river channel was rapidly forming, Wang Jing began to mobilize troops and horses. Hundreds of warships were loaded with horses and cavalry, as well as a large number of elite soldiers, ready to be dispatched at any time.

……

On the shore of Shaobo Lake, 10,000+ men and women in ragged clothes are like ants, distributed along the shore of the lake in groups, and they are carrying stone bars and giant logs under the supervision of Sui soldiers.

Near the edge of the lake, a stone wall about two feet high rose from the ground.In the ravine not far away, there were vaguely many corpses piled up.

On a high slope in the distance.

He Chou looked at the stone wall on the shore, frowning.

"It's too slow! At this speed, the Huai army can only dig through the river and simply build a stone wall. The bastions, arrow towers, and crossbow formations behind it... can't be formed at all!"

He Chou murmured.

It's not that his ability is not good, but that he simply doesn't have enough manpower and tools in his hands.

Recruited 20 young and strong, and finally only recruited 10,000+ men and women.

Under the crazy pressure of these days, thousands of men and women have already collapsed.

There was not enough food, and there were not enough tools and tools. Under the persecution of the Sui army, 10,000+ people were hungry and had to use their flesh and blood to quarry and log and build stone walls.

Thousands of casualties are still low.

If this continues, at least half of the 10,000+ young people will fall when the stone wall is completed.

He Chou had no choice, the incident was too sudden, and Yangzhou City was not prepared to mobilize the young and strong at all.

Sudden recruitment of strong men, transportation of grain and grass from Yangzhou... These are all major events, and the officials left behind in the city must first report to Yang Guang who has led the army to Tongshan.

Only then can men and women be conscripted, and the granary opened...it will take time.

Being able to send 10,000+ men and women to He Chou in a short period of time is already considered a miracle.

In the original world, in order to build Daxing City in the Sui Dynasty, in order to catch up with the work, hundreds of thousands of people were consumed in just a few dozen days.

The Sui Dynasty inherited the cruel atmosphere of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and did not treat the common people as human beings at all.

The same is true for He Chou.

He looked at the gradually formed stone wall, but he still had no idea, so he immediately called to follow him.

"Go to Yangzhou quickly to send a message, let Su Shilang recruit another 20 young and strong, and send as many as there are..."

"There are other supplies that need to be delivered quickly!"

In order to catch up with work, He Chou is also ruthless, ready to squeeze Yangzhou's potential again.

At this time, he doesn't want a strong man anymore, no matter whether he is a man or a woman, as long as he has a lot of strength, he will be fine.

The Huai army and the Sui army did not fight on the battlefield.

Instead, I started to compare construction capabilities...

It is also a strange story to spread to the ears of other princes.

Time flies.

In the wilderness on the south bank of Gaoyou Lake, a gully with a width of ten feet has already formed. This width can already be called a river in the source world.

There is still a distance of more than ten feet on the north and south sides of the river to prevent the lake water from seeping into the river and affecting the excavation.

Just scoop out the sides.

Gaoyou Lake and Shaobo Lake can be connected.

Wang Jing stood on a high place, followed by a group of civil and military personnel, and everyone was a little excited.Mobilize 30 young and strong men to dig dozens of miles of river channels in just [-] days.

Being able to directly avoid the Sui army's Jintang defense line... This is an unprecedented feat.

It is also an unprecedented battle.

Even people like Bu Zhi and Fu Youde began to fluctuate when they saw that the river was about to pass through.
