Lei Yi thought for a moment and continued, "Yeah... what he said makes some sense!"
So, the two discussed not to kill Ying Tingguang.
Because dead people are worthless.
After the Great Chu army retreated, Shi Gandang wrote a secret letter and asked Jiangning for reinforcements.
As long as reinforcements arrive, Ying Tingguang will be released.
In this way, the land of the Southern Dynasty would not be lost, and the previous bloody battles would not be too much.
A few days later, Jiangning received a secret letter without any hesitation, and had 100,000 reinforcements.
Come to guard the newly captured territory of the Southern Dynasty.
In this way, after more than a month, after the Wu Dynasty reinforcements arrived in the Southern Dynasty, Shi Gandang issued an order and released Ying Tingguang.
On the other hand, the battle between the commander of the Wu Dynasty, Xiao Zhanming, and the Da Chu army also started, but it was just a small-scale and there was no major war.
At the beginning, Xiao Zhanming led a 300,000 army to station troops in Wuchao Nan Pass to intimidate the Great Chu.
Who would have thought that the turning point of this war was Ying Tingguang.
…
A few days later, Ying Tingguang returned to the Dachu military camp.
Seeing this, Geng Chunqiu, Song Liang and others breathed a sigh of relief.
It's still Shi Gandang who keeps his word.
After Ying Tingguang came back, the first thing he did was to raise an army to ask for the crime, "Why? Why? General Geng, we obviously have a chance to win, how can you withdraw your troops?"
Geng Chunqiu said in his heart, do you think I want to withdraw?
But what he said was, "Your father gave you to me, so I will naturally be responsible for you!"
With just one sentence, Ying Tingguang was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Besides being angry, it’s still anger.
He punched his fists a few times in the air.
"This time, a good opportunity wasted!"
"Now, the reinforcements from the Wu Dynasty have arrived again, alas..."
Geng Chunqiu comforted himself and said calmly: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, just win back in the future!"
Draw big pie.
Everyone in the audience was silent selectively, or they didn't know how to answer.
Soon, Shi Gandang and Xiao Zhanming and others became thrilled. After learning that the Chu was defeated, the entire army stopped.
Begin to integrate resources from the Southern Dynasties.
Of course, this is Jiangning's order.
Taking advantage of the end of the year, the Wu Dynasty also included the territory of the Southern Dynasty into the territory of the Wu Dynasty.
In order to make the people of the Southern Dynasty feel a sense of belonging, the Wu Dynasty issued various people-friendly policies to defeat the gentry of the Southern Dynasty.
A fair social system was established.
And unify weights and measures, and unify words. If you want people to repay quickly, you must still grasp them from the heart.
The advantage is also one of the ways to win people's hearts.
The fact that ordinary people can also enter the court to become officials has been supported by many people.
Because before that, the officials appointed by the Southern Dynasties were basically from the gentry.
There is no chance for ordinary people.
…
At the beginning of the new year, everything is renewed, and Jiangning announced that it was the name of Emperor Wu and amnesty the world.
The whole country celebrates together.
The entire Wu Dynasty was filled with laughter and joy.
Even in the first month of the year, Jiangning was not idle and ordered the imperial officials to immediately build a road on the lands of the Eastern Wu and Southern Dynasties.
Strengthen contact.
Of course, in Jiangning's view, it is not enough to have one land route alone, and it should be added with a water route.
Even multiple waterways.
So, Prime Minister Yang Hui and Minister of Works were called to the side hall.
According to this period of time, they should enjoy the happy New Year's Eve with their families, but were arrested by Jiangning as if they were arrested.
Yang Hui and Hu Yawen gave a big gift to Jiangning.
Jiang Ning didn't care much, so he expanded the latest map and said in a deep voice: "I have combined the territory of the Eastern Wu and the Southern Dynasties. Tell me, if you want to strengthen the connection between the states, the cultivation of the Tao is a point, and
There is an artificial canal dug. Tell me, how should this artificial canal be opened?"
Yang Hui looked at the map in front of him and replied: "Your Majesty, what do you mean is that you want to connect the former Eastern Wu and Southern Dynasties through water and land?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded.
Yang Hui suddenly said, "Return...Return to Your Majesty, this is a big project!"
Jiang Ning glanced at Yang Hui without feeling angry, "I know!"
Yang Hui was a little embarrassed.
Hu Yawen responded, "Your Majesty, it's not a day to build the Grand Canal connecting all over the country. I am willing to go and become this river repair officer!"
Jiang Ning waved his hand directly and said, "You are the Minister of Works. If you are going to go, then will there be no one in charge of the Works?"
"No, I have no clue now!"
"How should this canal connecting the three places be built?"
The territory of the Wu Dynasty can be described as a giant, so this kind of problem arose in Jiangning's mind.
When the canal passes through the earth, mountains, rivers, and there will inevitably be many problems like cow hair.
Hu Yawen said: "Your Majesty, the old minister doesn't think it's obvious on the map, so I'd better go there!"
"I would like to investigate!"
This is the truth.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you can check it out yourself!"
"Also, let's leave it to you about building the Grand Canal!"
“There is no limit on the years, as soon as possible!”
"Yes... Your Majesty!"
In this way, a new burden fell on Yang Hui and Hu Yawen's heads, that is, the construction of the Grand Canal.
Regardless of whether it can be successful or not, the emperor's orders cannot be violated and can only be executed.
Now, the Wu Dynasty has reached an unprecedented peak and its national strength is extremely strong. At present, only the Daxi Dynasty and the Dachu Dynasty can compete with the Wu Dynasty.
Only after Jiangning put the construction of the real Grand Canal on the agenda, did he continue to study thermal weapons.
A thunderclap can naturally not satisfy Jiangning.
Although the current thunder has been created, it has not been put into use by the army yet.
Time is like flowing water, and half a month passes in a flash.
Da Chu stopped...
In the imperial city.
After listening to the battle situation reported by Geng Chunqiu, Emperor Chu did not hide it and smashed it hard on the table with a punch. He was so angry that he said, "In this battle with Wu Dynasty, we lost nearly 200,000 soldiers and were only
The army of 70,000 people has become like this! Geng Chunqiu, what are you doing for?”
Geng Chunqiu shivered and quickly knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am guilty, please punish me!"
"Due to the punishment, do you think it is useful to reduce the crime?" Emperor Chu was so angry that he smashed the dragon case hard.
For many years, the Great Chu has never had any war. Now, when the war begins, the soldiers and generals are lost. The Emperor Chu feels that his face is dull and even his face is not facing his ancestors!
Geng Chunqiu quickly said, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty, please calm down. Next time, we will definitely kill all the generals of Wu Chao!"
The Emperor Chu tried hard to suppress his anger and shouted in a deep voice: "Get out and train troops. After spring, we will start a war with the Wu Dynasty. It is not their turn to trample on the dignity of the Great Chu!"
"Yes... it's Your Majesty!" Geng Chunqiu nodded now like a chicken pecking at rice. It seemed that Emperor Chu was extremely angry this time.
