Accompanied by the loud rumbling sound, thick smoke and dust flew up, covering the sky and the sun, a section of Xiushui River that was dug into the air completely collapsed, revealing a large gap. The river water poured out along the gap and kept washing the gap. The gap became larger and larger, and the water flow became thicker and thicker. The gap was broken and bigger. After it collapsed all the way to the predetermined place, the obstacle made of stones held the river.

The river water flowed along this gap into the canal canal, rushing downwards. On both sides of the embankment, countless people laughed. People sang, laughed, and danced on the embankment. After several years of hard work, today I finally achieved great success.

Yue Kaishan looked at the rushing rivers, and felt his eyes a little hot and his nose a little sore. All the dreams of him finally became reality, and a canal across the entire western land became reality in front of him.

Only in the Ming Dynasty can such a grand project be completed. Because of it, thousands of square kilometers of land will change and poverty will be gradually overcome. As long as you make some efforts in the new year, Cenzhou will not be as rich as the local area of ​​the Ming Dynasty.

"How many days will the water arrive in our Cenzhou?" He turned his head and asked the master standing beside him.

"Mr. Yue County, at the speed of water flow, it can reach Cenzhou in about ten days." The master replied.

“When can I sail in the water?”

"Mr. Yue, I can't say this." The master continued. "There are many riverbeds that have been traveling thousands of miles along the way, and many of them are newly dug new rivers. With such a large amount of water, no one can guarantee what will happen in these places. In fact, letting these levels run steadily for a month before sailing can barely be considered safe."

"The mountains are open, and the water flows very fast now. As we go all the way, there will probably be many places that collapse or collapse the dikes. The prefectures and counties along the way have mobilized a large number of people to guard the dikes. You, Cenzhou, think you have made the same arrangement, right?" Jin Jingnan asked.

Yue Kaishan nodded and said embarrassedly: "I really hope to sail west and head straight to Cenzhou."

"Wait a little longer!" Jin Jingnan said with a smile. "Sharpening the knife will not delay the chopping of wood. I know your urgent mood, so I have arranged a fast ship. When the water level stabilizes, I will carry you west. How about it?"

"The chief assistant was very thoughtful!" Yue Kaishan was overjoyed and quickly bowed to thank him.

Jin Jingnan smiled and turned to look at Tang Weide beside him: "Mr. Tang, when will the final construction of the sluice be completed?"

Tang Weidedao: "Because the sluice is all made of steel, it will take a long time, and the final installation will probably take a lot of trouble. At the earliest, it will take half a year to complete this. We will try our best to complete this before the dry season. When the sluice is completed, this temporary break will be blocked again." Speaking of this, he pointed to the dam not far away, and the triangular cones made of steel and cement were piled up." When the sluice is completed, we can adjust the naval forces in the canal in time, and can also open the gates to adjust the water volume during the flood season of Xiushui River. The chief minister and a canal will not only facilitate the people on both sides of the canal, irrigating millions and tens of millions of acres of fertile land along the coast, but also prevent the people on both sides of the Xiushui River from suffering from flooding. Once and for all, this will be a feat that will last forever!"

"All the credit is up to Your Majesty." Jin Jingnan bowed toward Yuejing City, and everyone followed suit.

"The Zhengshi Hall is respected by the Chief Minister. This canal will not only carry the heroic name of His Majesty, but the Chief Minister's name will be the same as this river and will last forever." Tang Weide said with a smile.

Jin Jingnan laughed loudly, "After I can hold my wings to Your Majesty, Jin has enough of this life. But everyone, don't think that everything will be fine if the canal is open. There will be more things to do in the future. I heard from the masters that every few years, the canal will be dredged, otherwise it will affect the passage."

"The Prime Minister said that the water flow in the canal is too smooth, unlike Xiushui River, where the water flow is turbulent, which can wash away the mud and sand. The mud and sand carried by the water flow entering the canal will slowly deposit during the journey of thousands of miles, so it has to be silted every few years. However, these silts are all good fertilizers. After being cleared, they can be used to transform those barren lands, which can be considered as killing two birds with one stone." Yue Kaishan said with a smile.

"You, the pioneer of digging the canal, are very clear." Jin Jingnan laughed.

Tang Weide looked at these two people with some envy. Such a project that lasted for thousands of years will naturally be famous in history. The first advocate Yue Kaishan and the specific executor Jin Jingnan will be forever associated with this canal.

Ten days later, the impatient Yue Kaishan climbed a fast ship, and headed west with passion and a lot of development plans. The senior officials from many counties and prefectures gathered in Hulao and the shareholders of the canal were all satisfied and went their separate ways. Unlike those who invested in the railway, who only saw the money back many years later, the future of this canal was almost attentive.

Of course, in the past ten days, Yue Kaishan has not let these rich people go, and has been constantly selling their plans in Cenzhou to them, luring these guys to take their money or their population to the west to carry out a vigorous western development.

Just as Yue Kaishan was rushing to Cenzhou with great enthusiasm, a team of horses was walking through the mountains and ridges, the birthplace of Xiushui River, in the Hengduan Mountains.

This was the army led by Murong Hai. After several years of fighting in the Hengduan Mountains, the Ming army finally regained the advantages here bit by bit and began to advance steadily towards Qi.

Tuobayan and Murong Hai, these good brothers and comrades on the battlefield in the past, have long become enemies that will never end.

As a person who has followed Tuobayan for many years, Murong Hai knew very well that he had great shortcomings in using troops compared to Tuobayan. Even the Emperor of Ming Dynasty praised Tuobayan for using troops as an antelope hanging on his horns and no trace to be found. Murong Hai never thought of comparing with Tuobayan in this regard.

He used a stupid method.

In order to restrain the army of Tuobayan, Qin Feng re-sumed the barbarians. After these barbarians who were separated from all over the Ming Dynasty gathered under Murong Hai's command, they quickly regained their combat effectiveness. However, their purpose of fighting has been completely changed. Over the years since they were integrated into the Ming Dynasty, their lives have undergone earth-shaking changes. Poverty is becoming more and more distant from them, but the identity of the barbarians still makes them have a natural barrier from the natives of the Ming Dynasty.

If they want to change all this, let everyone recognize themselves, and let their descendants become acquainted with everyone around them without having to bear strange visions, then military merit is the simplest way. It is impossible for their generation to change themselves by other methods, but they can hope for the next generation.

Murong Yuan's success allowed these barbarians to see hope.

Since Murong Yuan can do it, why can't his own children?

So the conscript order was ordered, and the barbarians gathered, and Murong Hai selected the best of them and picked five thousand people. Putting aside other combat power, the barbarians' ability to rush and shoot archery among the mountains was really unique. If the battle with the Taiping Army happened in the mountains, it would be hard to say how many victories and losses were. However, when they went down the mountain and fought against the disciplined Taiping Army infantry on the Great Plains, they had abandoned what they were best at. With their own shortcomings and their strengths, how could they not be defeated?

This time, they arrived in the Hengduan Mountains, but seemed to have returned to their original hometown.

In recent years, Murong Hai has never taken risks. No matter how big the flaw Tuobayan sells to him, he will ignore it. He knew that he was not as good as Tuobayan and admitted this. In those years, he witnessed Tuobayan's magical operations again and again. At that time, he was a brother, so naturally everything was fine, but now he is an enemy, so he has to mention 120,000 caution.

Murong Hai selected a target, and then he would ride out everywhere, cross the mountains and forests, cut off the enemy's supplies, attack the enemy's patrol, slowly trap the opponent in one place, and then attack with all his might and take it down. After taking it down, he began to hold it steadily until He Weiping's infantry followed up to take over the place and had a stable logistics support, so that he would advance to the next target.

Later, He Weiping also participated in this seemingly clumsy plan. With the help of He Weiping, an experienced veteran, Murong Hai's goal became more and more targeted, and it seemed like a hammer and a stick was on the other side. But as time went by, Tuobayan would find that some of his strongholds had been faintly surrounded by the other party under the seemingly random attack of Murong Hai. In this situation, he had to choose to retreat on his own initiative.

Murong Hai dared to do this, because the barbarian soldiers under his command were very familiar with such mountainous combat, and secondly, he had a strong logistics supply system. Thirdly, his soldiers' weapons and equipment were far superior to their opponents.

So far, Murong Yuan's troops have been equipped with many gunpowder weapons. Things like grenades and landmines have become their regular weapons. The Ministry of War has specially developed a feather arrow for them in response to their combat characteristics. This feather arrow has brought some powerful explosives on it. After igniting it, it will not be possible to hit the target. However, when the explosives explode, it will definitely hurt the people around.

However, what annoyed Tuobayan was that even though Murong Hai had such a great advantage, he still slowly rolled over step by step.

In front of such a stubborn guy who is like a stone, no fantasy idea is useful, because if there is a little worry on the back, this guy will stop and manage the back before moving forward.

In Murong Hai's words, I'm stupid, so I use a stupid method.
Chapter completed!
