Qin Feng's central army tent was set up on a high ground. After confirming the place, a large number of craftsmen arrived in advance and quickly hardened the ground with cement. Because it was a temporary garage, it didn't take too much effort, and the cushion layer was spared, and the ground was only covered with a thin layer. Although the continuous spring rain was not easy to dry, this was obviously not a problem for craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty.

With this high ground as the center of the circle, the camps of tens of thousands of troops spread out around, endlessly. Of course, they would not be treated like this. After ordinary soldiers settling down the camps, they mostly searched for some hay branches to lay them on the ground, and then spread their own marching blankets. Even generals were no exception.

Qin Feng's central army tent is really big, and it is supported by hundreds of square meters. Of course, this is not only to show the emperor's dignity, but also to practical applications.

The interior of the tent is partitioned by simple wooden boards. The biggest thing is naturally the conference room for discussion. On one side is the office space where Qin Feng usually packs a document and Qin Feng usually has a resting place.

Wherever the emperor goes, countless things will naturally be followed.

Qin Feng is now having a headache. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, overall, it has been a good weather and good harvest every year. This is also one of the evidence that Qin Feng has been blessed by his subjects. In the most difficult years when Qin Feng had a few natural disasters, the Ming Dynasty might have collapsed long ago.

Now that the stalls are getting bigger and bigger, the territory is getting wider, so there are naturally more and more troubles.

After the spring of this year, the Ming Dynasty finally felt the power of nature. First of all, the five county governments in the west have not yet rained after the beginning of spring. Spring rain is as expensive as oil and is not moistened by spring rain. You can imagine what consequences will be. Such an abnormal climate also represents a very harsh fact, that is, the drought in the west this year must be a foregone conclusion.

If it was Yong County, Qinghe, it would be fine. After all, these places have been vigorously promoting water conservancy in the past two years, and their ability to resist disasters is much stronger. However, the problems arise are the several western-most county governors, which are the problems. Those places are also the county governors of the Former Qin that surrendered to the Ming Dynasty at the latest. The people are fierce and fighting. After returning to the Ming Dynasty, they were the places where the two major escort agencies of the Ming Dynasty focused on attacks. They finally killed the bandits, captured them, and comforted them, and calmed them. But even so, the rule of the Ming Dynasty was still weak compared to other places.

Although this is discriminatory, it also tells the truth. You cannot expect a person who is not covered in clothes and food to tell you about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. If you are hungry and anxious, you can do anything. Qin Feng has seen too many such things.

The warehouse is solid and the etiquette is known, and the food is sufficient and the honor and disgrace are known. The great sayings summarized by our ancestors have always come from the most real life.

Disaster relief must be put on the agenda and arranged in advance.

Yue Kaishan went to Gongzhou, which was also the county governor that suffered the most severely this time. Qin Feng had no doubt about Yue Kaishan's ability. If even he was worried, it means that things were already developing in a bad direction, so Yue Kaishan proposed an incredible plan. He wanted to dig a canal connecting the five western counties to Yong County, and solve the water use problem in the western region once and for all.

This is a plan that looks like a flying immortal from the sky. You must know that if you really do it, it will be a grand canal that lasts thousands of miles long. The project volume made Qin Feng startled to read this memorial.

The Zhengshi Hall quarreled over this matter, and Quan Yun had not spoken yet. Fang Dazhi had always been seeking stability, and naturally opposed such a fantastic plan. However, Jin Jingnan strongly supported it. Zeng Lin, the other Zhengshi Hall who had just entered the Zhengshi Hall and had not yet gone to Yuejing, was also silent.

Of course, such a large project cannot be completed by Gongzhou. Even all prefectures and counties in the western region are united, and it is impossible to complete it, because the western region is still too poor compared to the Ming Dynasty. The funds required to dig such a Grand Canal must be astronomical, which requires the entire Ming Empire to do its best to complete it.

This is not only financial, but also political.

Of course, Yue Kaishan proposed a very sufficient reason. First, it can use labor instead of relief. In the years of famine, it is a very normal thing to invest in large-scale construction by the government. Second, if this Grand Canal canal can be really built, a river can integrate the entire western region, and its significance for future development is self-evident.

The officials in the western region must support such a plan, and the Ministry of Works must also support it with both hands. There is no doubt that if the Grand Canal is dug, the Ministry of Works' power will inevitably increase greatly in the next few years.

Correspondingly, other ministries must have opposed it. Not to mention anything else, the funds needed for this matter alone will be enough to put a lot of pressure on the court. If there are more people here, there will be less people at any time.

Qin Feng thought for a while, and finally felt that it was too early to do this. Yue Kaishan spared no effort to seek benefits for Gongzhou, because this was also his political achievement, but as the emperor, he had to consider the overall interests.

When I picked up the pen, I wrote a line of words on the memorial: "If you discuss it again, the Ministry of Works can first set up a preparatory group to do the homework."

You can't say that you are dead. This will easily dispel the enthusiasm of local officials and leave a gap to prepare them first. After all, such a big project is countless just what you have to do in the early stage. In fact, Qin Feng was still very moved by Yue Kaishan's suggestion, but it was just that it was inappropriate.

The western region suffered a drought, while the southern part of the Ming Dynasty suffered a flood. After the crops growing well were washed away by a flood, they were all soaked. Although replanting is being organized, the harvest this year will definitely fall by several%.

The larger the territory, the more troubles there will be. This requires Qin Feng to finalize the constitution, and it is much more difficult to deal with these things than commanding wars.

Qin Feng decided to quickly build a battle against Chu State quickly, and then put the focus of the strategy back to people's livelihood. People's livelihood is the foundation. If there is a problem with this, the war will be powerless.

Cao Yun once said that an excellent commander will do his best to simplify the war. Now, Qin Feng is simplifying the battle against Chu.

He wants to force Sun Chenglong to fight to the decisive battle with him.

In wars, attacking the heart is the best and attacking the city is the best. The defense technology of Chu State is really not a pity. The eastern defense line operated by Cheng Wuben was called the iron wall of Chu State, which caused Qi State to suffer a lot. The Xiangzhou County City, as the northern gate of the capital Shangjing City, is not inferior to Kunling County. If you really want to fight hard, it is inevitable that you will suffer heavy losses.

Qin Feng didn't want to fight hard. First, he didn't want to flow too much blood under the strong city, and second, it was too late. In addition to domestic problems, the spread of the plague to the capital also made him worried. Shangjing is a metropolis with a population. Once a city with a population of millions breaks out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In Xiangzhou, the Ming army had tried their best to fight the plague. Although the results were obvious, the deaths caused by the plague are still endless until now.

It was not easy to force Sun Chenglong to come out for a decisive battle. After the Ming army entered, the only attack planned by this guy was to eat Suqian and Jiang Shangyan. After the failed attempt, he immediately retracted into the turtle shell and prepared to fight a protracted battle with the Ming army.

It can be said that his choice was wise and the most advantageous to Chu State. If it weren't for this plague, the Ming army would have to be able to chew one city at a time, but now the times are very different.

The Xiangshan Defense Fortress Group took it down without spending a single soldier, which made Sun Chenglong's entire defense plan vain, leaving only Xiangzhou County City.

The Eagle Nest has launched a plan, and hope it will work.

In the Xiangzhou County City, the 20,000 Fire Phoenix Army infantry were the 20,000 Fire Phoenix Army infantry. If Guo Yi's 10,000 Fire Phoenix Cavalry was isolated on the north bank of Gaoliang River and was annihilated by the Ming army, and the infantry and cavalry cooperated, this battle would still be difficult to fight. Now, of course, let's talk about it.

The miner's camp, the Ruijin camp, and the Canglang camp are all old camps in the Ming Dynasty. The one they are best at fighting is tough battles. The Fire Phoenix Army and Qin Feng really didn't take them seriously.

As long as they dare to leave the city, Qin Feng will be sure to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Under the leadership of Eunuch Le, Tian Kang walked in happily. When Qin Feng saw Tian Kang's face, he knew that this major event was settled.

"Your Majesty, it's done, it's done. News came from the city that Sun Chenglong was going to leave the city to fight us." Tian Kang said with a smile.

"This Yang Chuang is so effective in doing things?" Qin Feng was also overjoyed. In Suqian's mouth, this guy was an ignorant guy. Apart from being a little clever and sad in making money, he was almost useless.

"It's not enough to succeed and have more than failure. It's just such a person." Tian Kang laughed and said, "The things we sent in played a huge role. A whole sentry was infected with this specious plague. Sun Chenglong did not disappoint everyone's expectations and wanted to kill this group of people. However, this sentry was the personal army of former county magistrate Ma Xuechun. You also know that because of Ma Xuechun's affairs, they were very resentful to Sun Chenglong, believing that Sun Chenglong killed Ma Xuechun. In addition, the serious consequences of digging the river, other troops in the city were actually very dissatisfied with Sun Chenglong. They believed that if the river was not digging, the Chu army would not have fallen to the current level."

"So the two gangs started to have a quarrel." Qin Feng said with a smile.

Tian Kang nodded: "Sun Chenglong naturally saw the serious consequences here. If he went out of the army, he could still share the same hatred of the enemy. If he didn't go out of the army and stayed in Xiangzhou County, if one of them couldn't handle it well, they would have to fight in the internal struggle first. So he could only go alone."
