Chapter 411 The female general takes action.
At this time, Ye Kun's army, except for some logistics and follow-up personnel, had all crossed the Lu River.
Everyone strengthened the camp, arranged defenses, and prepared for the New Year.
Ye Kun, however, retreated to the other side of the Lu River. He took his personal troops and professional personnel to survey the local terrain, visit the mountain people, and learn about their lives.
The two barbarians followed Ye Kun and introduced the situation to him.
Ye Kun ordered Wu Sanjie and Qu Shiqiong:
"Shamoko hates you to the core. You two should take your tribes to the north bank of the Lu River. Since you have submitted to me, I will naturally take care of you."
The two barbarian marshals complained: "King of Han, it's not safe for us to move here. Once you leave, Shamoke will still deal with us."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I haven't left yet, have I? When I leave, Shamoke will be obedient."
Wu Sanjie and Qu Shiqiong were half-believing and half-doubting, and dared not say anything more.
Ye Kun opened the map and said:
"Our professionals have already surveyed the terrain here and decided to build roads and bridges to facilitate the people. You two, stop fighting in the future. Bring your soldiers and cooperate with our people to start building roads."
Building roads and bridges is infrastructure construction and cannot be ambiguous.
Only well-developed transportation can bring about future economic growth.
But the roads in the south are not easy to build, as they are full of mountains and canyons.
Ye Kun could only do his best, flatten some hills, fill some valleys, and try his best to improve the traffic environment.
Junior sister Ding Ding invented a technique to split mountains, which made life more convenient by opening up mountains and building roads.
The so-called mountain-splitting technique and mountain-piercing technique have the same principle, which is the old method of using fire and water.
Tintin designed a long iron cage, like a piece of wood, with a diameter of only 20 centimeters. It was filled with charcoal and used to roast rocks.
First burn a groove in the rocks, and then deepen it step by step.
Two deep trenches separated by a line can separate the mountains.
Then send out stonemasons and workers to attack the cut-off mountain layer by layer from top to bottom.
This is also a stupid method, but it is much more efficient than before.
As long as there is enough charcoal and the logistics are in place, a team of more than 50 people can conquer a mountain. Working in shifts day and night, they can open a mountain pass in a month.
This is also because Ye Kun improved the iron smelting process and the quality of mining tools has been greatly improved.
It can be said that Ye Kun was really more powerful with the help of Gongsun Erniang, Ding Ding, Pang Jia and Sun Yi.
Wu Sanjie and Qu Shiqiong had never seen such an advanced technique, let alone experienced Ye Kun's speed, so they admired Ye Kun even more.
During the Chinese New Year, Ye Kun chose a narrow section of the Lushui River and built two Feihong Bridges.
Feihong Bridge is the simplest to build, all you need is wood.
This is also a temporary building, but it is guaranteed to last for twenty years, so there is absolutely no problem.
Qu Shiqiong was very frustrated and grinned, "King of Han, you are really smart. We are all made of wood in the mountains, but no one can build a bridge like this."
For the mountain people in the southern wilderness, building a bridge is just a matter of finding a few pieces of wood and placing them on both sides of the river.
If the wood wasn't long enough, they were helpless.
Ye Kun smiled and said, "In the future, I will open a school here to teach you how to build bridges and roads, how to produce and live, and how to grow rice."
Qu Shiqiong smiled bitterly: "There are very few fields here that can grow rice."
"You can grow rice on the mountain." Ye Kun said nonchalantly.
"How can we grow rice on the mountain?" Wu Sanjie and Qu Shiqiong couldn't believe it.
"There are some mountains that can be terraced to grow rice. I'll arrange this once I subdue Shamoke."
Ye Kun was confident.
There are many mountain terraces in the south of China.
The ancients had never seen this form and simply did not dare to believe it.
Reclaiming and clearing terraced fields, including the subsequent farming, is hard work, but there is no other way, if you want to survive.
There are two rhymes in China, which are exactly the opposite and describe the difference between mountainous areas and plains.
One is: He did not cultivate in his previous life, was born in Huizhou, and was thrown out when he was thirteen or fourteen years old.
Huizhou is the Huangshan area, with many mountains and little land. The poor people could not get enough food, so half-grown children had to go out to learn how to do business and support themselves. Later, the Huizhou business community became powerful and made the Huizhou merchants famous.
There is also a jingle: The 800-li Qinchuan Plain supports 20 million lazy people. They neither starve nor beg for food!
Qinchuan has a plain with fertile land, just like the Chengdu Plain. As long as the population does not expand rapidly, there will be no shortage of food!
The conditions in the Southern Wilderness are actually not too bad.
It is called the Southern Wilderness because it has not been developed and still has many virgin forests.
This Chinese New Year means half a month of peace.
Ye Kun discovered that the soldiers had gained some weight.
Lu Kaijiang and Zhou Xuanwu were both anxious and asked, "My lord, how long do we have to wait here? Are we waiting for Shamoke to surrender?"
Ye Kun nodded: "Send a message to the three armies. Two days later, march south to hunt down Shamoke..."
The weather in the south is hot, so Ye Kun must end the southern expedition before May.
Two days later, the three armies set out.
After resting for twenty days, Shamoke regained his arrogance and sent someone to say, "Please withdraw your troops immediately, King Han. Otherwise, I will unite with the southern tribes and fight you to the death!"
Ye Kun ordered: "Give the messenger 20 blows and send him back to tell Shamoke that if I catch him again, I will kill him without mercy!"
The messenger was beaten to pieces and ran back to report to Shamoke.
Shamoke was furious, and joined forces with Madam Hongyun to raise another army of 60,000 to fight Ye Kun.
In front of the two armies.
Madam Hongyun was wearing a red cape, looking majestic. She raised her two swords and shouted, "Ye Kun, you have occupied Jiangdong and Yizhou, but you are still not satisfied and want to invade my Southern Kingdom. Do you know that every citizen of my Southern Kingdom is a soldier?"
Ye Kun raised the telescope and took a look. The girl was quite pretty.
He was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, and looked very heroic.
He has a high nose bridge and big, deep eyes, and seems to be of mixed blood.
Zhou Xuanwu said angrily: "My lord, let everyone fire their guns and kill this little girl!"
"Don't make a fuss. Be gentle to beautiful women." Ye Kun smiled and pointed at Madam Hongyun and said, "Who dares to come forward and capture this young lady alive for me?"
Lu Kaijiang responded: "My Lord, I'll go!"
"Wait a minute!"
Gongsun Erniang stopped Lu Kaijiang and said with a smile: "Since the opponent is a female general, why not let me go out. I haven't been to the battlefield for many days, and I am itching to fight!"
Ye Kun was not very reassured: "Junior sister, are you okay? Look at Madam Hongyun's attitude, I'm afraid she is here with bad intentions."
Last time, Shamoke said that Madam Hongyun is braver than ten thousand men!
Gongsun Erniang rolled her eyes and said, "Brother, why do you want to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige? Just wait and see how I can capture her."
Ye Kun had no choice but to nod: "Then be careful."
The soldiers on this side had never seen Gongsun Erniang fight with others, and they all shouted: "Miss Gongsun will definitely succeed immediately and win the first battle!"
Gongsun Erniang was dressed in full armor, holding a double-edged sword, and rode towards Madam Hongyun: "Don't be so arrogant, barbarian girl. Do you know me, Gongsun Erniang?"
