Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 373 Lingqu
As a mother, Du Ling only hopes that Ziying can spend her life in peace. OK.

However, the emperor's order cannot be violated, and Du Ling has no way to refuse the appointment of the first emperor.

However, in order to prevent Ziying from taking his own life as a trip to the prairie, Du Ling ordered Xia Ke, who is the most skilled martial artist among the three girls, to go to South Vietnam with Ziying. After all, Xia Ke was Ziying before. Baby's bodyguard.

The purpose is to be able to watch Ziying and stop some of Ziying's adventurous actions in time.

……

The only thing that was a little disturbing was that after receiving the emperor's edict, Ren Xiao simply packed up and saluted that afternoon, and rushed to Ziying's mansion with a lot of countermeasures that he had pondered over the years. Live down directly.

The First World War in South Vietnam was a war that changed his life. It was the disastrous defeat in this battle that made him change from a glorious general to an unknown civilian.

Over the years, he recalled every detail of the war all the time, reflected on his own mistakes, and formulated a series of countermeasures against them.

Arriving at Prince Qin's mansion, Ren Xiao immediately entangled Ziying like a piece of brown candy, and introduced his strategy of peace to Ziying one by one. ".

You have to know that there are still three days before departure, Ziying originally planned to take advantage of these few days to comfort Sima Jingjing and Xue Ji's two daughters, but this old fellow Ren Xiao is really...

However, seeing Ren Xiao who was almost sixty years old and still full of energy, Ziying really couldn't bear to say the words of rejection, so he could only listen with all his energy.

Ren Xiao knew that the reason why he was able to be reactivated by the First Emperor was all thanks to Ziying's recommendation, and this time was his only chance to clean his front teeth, so he was very grateful to Ziying.

On the morning of the third day, after Ziying went to the palace to bid farewell to the First Emperor, he took Xia Ke and Ren Xiao and a group of family soldiers led by Jian Yi to the south.

At the same time, one by one of the Mohist disciples who were lurking in Xianyang have left Xianyang for the past few days and headed for the various settlements in the name of visiting relatives and doing business.

……

On the road to the south, the bumps were severe, Ziying thought that at Ren Xiao's age, she would definitely not be able to bear it, and she could finally live in peace for a while.

However, I didn't expect Ren Xiao to be old-hearted, and the "car shock" along the way didn't affect his interest at all. He got into Ziying's carriage and started a long talk.

And Xia Ke, who was accompanying him, could only ride along with him outside the carriage.

"Old General, after talking so much, don't you think about opening a waterway to transport food and grass?" After listening to Ren Xiao's chatter for a few days, Ziying suddenly realized something.

All of Ren Xiao's plans relied on land routes as logistical arrangements, and he never mentioned the plan of digging water canals.

And when discussing matters in the main hall before, I proposed Shi Lu's name, but no one knew it at all, which also proved from the side that the Lingqu Canal has not been built at this moment, otherwise Shi Lu could not be unknown.

Although I don't remember the exact time when the Lingqu was built, it is still certain that the Lingqu was built for the transfer of food and grass for the south attacking army, and after the construction of the Lingqu was successful, the Qin army who had solved the supply of food and grass conquered it very smoothly. Lingnan.

It's just that for some unknown reason, the construction of the Lingqu Canal, which should have been started long ago, has not yet started.

Going to build now, the construction schedule is tight and the task is heavy!

"King Qin, are you joking? Although opening a waterway to transport grain is enough, it is not an easy task. Not to mention that the mountains in South Vietnam are densely covered with uninhabited places, and it is not easy to find places to dig. Yes, and there is currently no one in my Great Qin who can take on this important task."

Ren Xiao looked at Ziying in surprise and said.

The land of Nanyue is a completely unfamiliar area to the Qin people, and the mountains and forests are dense and ravines. It is not known how long it will take just to explore, and one must always be careful of the Nanyue people coming out of the dense forest to harass.

"You don't have to worry about it, I've found the place and the person." Ziying said boredly.

Local Ziying knew the historical location of the Lingqu, and the person who dug the Lingqu had also been found. Now that it was in Changsha County, Wang Ling had already recruited him to go to the front line in advance.

In order to catch up with the construction period, Ziying also specially sent Yan Meng to send orders to Momen branches in various places to call skilled craftsmen to the Southland.

Ziying didn't know how long the spiritual canal had been dug in history, but this time, Ziying planned to dig the psychic canal for at most half a year.

Half a year seems too short, but in Ziying's view, it is enough.

This time, Ziying not only saves the time of site selection, but Ziying also plans to use the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops to dig the canal together, and the Lingqu Canal is not as wide as the Grand Canal, but only tens of kilometers long, and the narrowest point It's only five or six meters, and it originally existed entirely for grain transportation.

When Shi Lu dug canals in history, it was absolutely impossible to have such convenient conditions.
