Lord of the House

From Shanyang County along the Baitang River to the southeast, from the southwest of Tinghu County to Qingjiangpu.

Crossing Qingjiangpu and entering Beiguan River, it is Yandu County (now Yancheng). Going south, it is Jianling County, Hailing Prefecture. Further south is Gaocheng, Xinghua in the west of Gaocheng, and Weiyang in the west of Xinghua. From Gaocheng to the southwest is Hailing, and to the southeast is Chongzhou.

The Huaihe River and the Yangtze River continue to carry sediment into the sea, and continue to form alluvial plains downstream. The sea area between the two alluvial plains has not been landed a thousand years ago, and it is a large bay.

Under the action of the tide, a large amount of sediment is pushed to the mouth of the bay and accumulated into a sand bank, forming a lagoon. In addition, under the influence of the injection of many tributaries of the Jianghuai, the sediment in the lagoon was deposited into the land, and the three counties of Yandu, Jianling and Gaocheng were gradually formed today.

Due to the characteristics of being a land, the terrain in the four counties is low and flat, prone to waterlogging, dense water network, connected lakes, wetlands, and swamps. Guanhe Plain.

The topographic features of Qingjiangpu are a miniature version of the entire Beiguanhe Plain before it became a land.

The Beiguan River Plain is the second most susceptible to waterlogging, and is more affected by the recharge of the tide. Therefore, in the entire Jianghuai Plain, the three counties of Yandu, Jianling and Gaocheng are far away from the land of fish and rice in the usual sense.

Lin Bing stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the entire lake and plain. Xiaoman looked at the scenery in the southwest corner, but was very excited: "That field, surrounded by water, is like a haystack?"

Lin Fu looked over and said with a smile, "Speaking of haystacks, it's really an image. If you remember correctly, this should be Duotian Town, right?" In the last sentence, Lin Fu turned back and asked Sun Jingtang.

"My lord remembers it well, that's Duotian Town!" Sun Jingtang said, "The river here is crisscrossed, the terrain is too low, and it will be flooded at every turn. In order to prevent floods, the villagers keep dredging the river to collect soil and raise the fields. Pieces of farmland are like haystacks floating in water, and over time, they are called Duotian Town. People in the countryside want to farm, and they have to swing a small boat over there..."

"Isn't that very hard?" Xiaoman said.

"How can farming not be hard?" Song Jia smiled on the side. "The soil should be fertile and have a good harvest. No matter how hard it is, it's worth it... I'm afraid that there will be too many floods, so I will complain."

"Waterlogging is the second priority," Lin Fu said. "The three counties of Yandu, Jianling and Gaocheng have low and flat terrain, and the recharge of the tide is the major disaster. The seawater contains salt, and the fields are infiltrated with salt, which is thin soil. The land of salt water looks very different from the fertile fields of Chongzhou, and the yield can be three or four times worse..."

The autumn light is still good today. Chen Zhu, Zhang Gou, Han Caizhi, Chen Kuili and other descendants have also invited over to enjoy the autumn scenery and connect with each other.

They all came from humble backgrounds, and were no strangers to farming. Listening to Lin Fu talking to everyone, and looking at the past, they felt quite a bit. However, he was puzzled in his heart: Lin Bunai was a dignified envoy in Huaidong, and he had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

"This seawall must be repaired, and it can't be delayed!" Lin Fu squeezed his left fist and thumped his right hand, and said with determination, "Fift 50,000 yuan from the people who went to the south and put them into the labor camp. From Jiangmen, go north. Repair, repair it for three hundred miles, until it reaches the south bank of Qingjiangpu. The embankment must be able to block the tide, and the carriage must be able to walk on the embankment! Try to build it within two years!" He pointed to Chen Zhu, Zhang Gou, Han Caizhi, and Chen Kuili, and said to Sun Jingtang, "These four are for you, and Ge Siyu and Wang Chengfu are also for you! Who else do you want?"

Chen Zui and Zhang Gou were the surrendered generals, and they were the hostages used by Lin Fu to hold Sun Zhuang in Suining. .

Han Caizhi and Chen Kuili felt some grievances in their hearts. They all went to Linli's children, thinking that they would join the army and get a good position in the Huaidong Army.

Lin Fu seemed to be able to see through the minds of Han Caizhi and Chen Kuili. He turned to them and said, "If you don't study politics, it's hard to be a good general. In the past two years, you should follow Sun's instructions to study politics. In addition, I have a military book. For you, study hard, and you will have the opportunity to stand out, so don’t be in a hurry.” Someone brought four training booklets and gave them to Han Caizhi and others.

Chen Zhu also took a copy, and he bared his teeth at Zhang Gou.

Zhang Gou still knew a few characters, but he didn't know a single big character, so giving him the book was just a piece of paper to wipe his ass.

"You reckless scumbag, you make a grown-up girl's belly, and you don't recognize someone when you lift your pants?" Lin Fie scolded Chen Zhi.

"Which one doesn't recognize it? It's the one who worshipped him!" Chen Zhu said aggrieved, "Sui Ning took it away from the adults, I heard that the girl of the Li family died in the chaos of the soldiers, and now I'm going to kowtow in front of the old man Li Wei to recognize him. Dad, he still stabbed me to death?"

"If you dare to tear up this book and wipe your ass, if you can't read all the words in it within a year, you can repair the seawall for the rest of your life!" Lin Fu didn't say that Li Wei's daughter sent him to Chongzhou, and said, " I will take all of your family to Chongzhou. You can honestly repair the seawall for me for a year or two, and if you dare to smuggle to Sun Zhuang, I have the means to deal with you..."

Chen Zhe was puzzled. Hearing Lin Bie's tone, he suspected that Li Wei's daughter was still alive, but even if she was alive, she would not have his share. Li Wei is the magistrate of Suining County, and he was born as a scholar. How could he possibly marry a thief general?

It was getting late, Sun Jingtang and others did not disturb Lin Fu Qingyang, and left Lin Fu's boat with everyone.

"Every family is eager to expand their power, and they have money to buy ordnance and support soldiers. Are you willing to repair the sea wall on such a large scale?" At this time, Song Jia had an emotional discussion with Lin Fu about repairing the sea wall. matter.

"Expanding power, where to expand?" Lin Fu asked with a smile, "Everyone wants to do it for the millennium dream of dominating the world, but it takes time and momentum. If the time does not come, the momentum is not yet achieved, and it can protect the peace of the water and soil of one party. Isn't it a hero? "

If the historical trajectory does not change, Fan Zhongyan in the Northern Song Dynasty should build a sea wall along the Jianghuai coast and be remembered in history. The "Fan Gong Dike" has made Huaidong vulnerable to sea invasion a land of fish and rice, and will also pay tribute to future generations after a thousand years.

The historical trajectory has changed, and naturally no one is going to build anything to defend the seawall. The three counties of Yandu, Jianling, and Gaocheng are still affected by sea invasion, and people's livelihoods are degraded.

Last year, Lin Fu wanted to build the seawall outside the Hecheng pasture, but the dredging project of the Yanhe River was only completed, and the seawall building has not yet been put on the agenda.

Now sitting in the position of the envoy of Huai'an, I have to stand in the Huaidong overall situation and consider the problem. The repair of the seawall cannot only be a part of the crane city, but it must be repaired from the south to the north. No matter how the world situation changes in the future, it can be regarded as a Leave a blessing for the people of Huaidong.

"That's true, the hegemony is really urgent," Song Jia stared at Lin Bing and smiled, "Let me guess what the benefits of repairing and defending the seawall are..."

"Then you can guess!" Lin Bie laughed.

"Defending the seawall, cooking salt outside the embankment, and planting rice outside the embankment is beneficial to the people, and it is beneficial to Huaidong, even if it costs millions of silver, it can increase the food supply in Huaidong, and it will also help you nourish your reputation in Huaidong. A benefit is also the most important benefit." Song Jia said.

"Yes," Lin Bie said with a smile, "this benefit comes too slowly, far less than holding a hundred thousand soldiers in hand, and it is easy to deter the villagers. Others may disdain it, but I am a little patient..."

"In the battle of Huai Si, you will have 60,000 strong soldiers, all of them will be recruited into the army, and the Huaidong army will increase by 100,000. For," Song Jia said, "it should be the most beneficial thing for you to be incorporated into the military camp and to reclaim the grassland in Hecheng. However, to be incorporated into the labor camp and to repair the seawall, the military system will not be scattered, and the war is fierce, and you can always do so at any time. It is also a good strategy to be able to be incorporated into the various armies as the main soldier to drive..."

Lin Bie nodded, admitting that Song Jia had a point.

Building a 300-mile sea wall is considered a super-large project in today's world, and the most important thing to pay attention to is organization.

Except for the different armor and equipment and the intensity of combat training, the establishment of the workers' battalion is the same as that of the various armies. The organization and military discipline will also be strictly implemented in accordance with the battalion. In addition to repairing the embankment, a certain amount of combat training can also be carried out.

The war is moderate, and the Huaidong Army maintains the current number of troops. Once the fighting is fierce, qualified soldiers who can adapt to the battlefield discipline of the Huaidong Army can be directly recruited from the Gongyi battalion to fill the army, and a large-scale expansion can be carried out quickly. After the expansion , it can also be quickly pulled out to fight in the field, without worrying that the combat power will be weakened too much.

"Thirdly, when you build and defend the seawall, of course, you don't build it right along the boundary between the salt area and the county. If you move one step further to the salt area, you will own the fertile land outside the embankment," Song Jia said, "Although Zhang Yan is an envoy of salt and iron. , the rank is higher than you, but the Lianghuai Salt District and the ten prisons add up to 20,000 salt soldiers. If you press the labor camp to repair the seawall, there will be 50,000 to 60,000 people. The Lianghuai Salt District is fighting for land. I can’t compete with you. Building seawalls is also beneficial to the salt area. As far as I know, the tides are rising, coastal cottages are drifting away, and the salt stoves are destroyed. The salt households are the first to be damaged. ~Although the salt area is outside the embankment, Yan households always have a place to live and be protected from the tide. If you are in charge of such a big event, Zhang Yan will always retreat and give you three points. Three hundred miles to defend the seawall, you move one more east. You can get 100,000 mu of fertile land, which can make up for the cost of repairing the dikes..."

"Indeed, you should be my marching chief," Lin Bie said with a smile. "This account is something that ordinary people can't count on. It's a benefit."

"I think the young lady is comparable to a female Zhuge." Xiaoman interjected, although she was somewhat opposed to Song Jia, but among the many female relatives, no one can compare to Song Jia's advice to Lin Fu.

"The three counties of Yandu, Jianling and Gaocheng have lakes and swamps, and the land route is far less convenient than the water route," Song Jia said. There are always many inconveniences without land. Building a sea-defense embankment, and actually building a fast military route from Chongzhou to the south bank of Qingjiangpu, is conducive to grasping the entire situation in Huaidong in Chongzhou -- four benefits!"

"Besides, repairing and defending the seawall is a matter of great interest. It is bound to mobilize local forces, and the local forces will be willing to serve you," Song Jia said. "It will help you win over the local forces in Yandu, Jianling, and Gaocheng counties. There are five benefits to recruiting talents from their places for your use! Is there any reason for you to say what I said?"

"It's always a headache, women are too smart," Lin Bie said with a slight smile, "As far as you are concerned, there are really many benefits, but in my opinion, life is in a hurry, and you always have to leave some benefits in the world, so it's worth it this time. . Repairing and defending the seawall will greatly benefit Huaidong. I can do it, and why can't I do it? Sometimes, it's just that simple."

Song Jia pursed her lips and smiled. She didn't believe in such a mobilization of teachers. Lin Fu used a simple reason to persuade everyone in Chongzhou. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
