During this meeting, Yang Meng didn't say much, only a show. He asked Luo Bingzhang and Hu Linyi to Jiujiang to tell the two that they valued the merits. As for what the officials wanted to say, it all depends on their own understanding. If they say the wrong words, then don't be human.

During this period, Luo Bingzhang and Hu Linyi completely became Yang Meng's subordinates. In addition to coordinating the tributary project, the two also had to re-correct the canal routes in their respective jurisdictions according to the design drawings of Xishan.

The preliminary design of Xishan is a bit sloppy, and many places are not able to pass through lines. Going around and crossing the mountains will increase the cost and difficulty of the project. Yang Meng’s requirement for the canal project is that no matter how simple it is, he would rather go around far than build a bridge. After all, these things are almost temporary water conservancy facilities, with a maximum of 20 or 30 years of use. For the canal, it is not worth the effort to cross the mountains!

When the two compared the drawings with Yang Meng's subordinates, Zeng Disheng witnessed Yang Meng's measurements. Now they are blessed with the two lakes and then the Jiangnan. This major project of Guhe canal construction is also quite attractive to Zeng Disheng.

He is afraid that he doesn't have the ability to dominate, but assisting is not a difficult task.

Seeing Master Yang's big move, Zeng Disheng was really convinced. Governing the country and pacifying the world is nothing more than this. Once the river project is completed, Yang Butang will truly shock China.

Luo Hu and his two were still taking the handover drawings of their subordinates, but Zeng Disheng found Yang Meng.

"Mintang, Disheng is not good at military affairs. Can he put some effort into the river project?"

"Well! The idea is good, but now it's a little early, you can't catch up with the Lianghu Lake. But there is still a Liangjiang River. During this period, when you accumulate military merits, when you take the position of Liangjiang River, I will have to bother you.

Look at this river project. If you want to succeed in half a year, do you know what I rely on?”

When Zeng Disheng advocated the Westernization Movement, Yang Meng slowly eroded him all the time. Some things can only be supported by witnessing them with his own eyes. What Zeng Disheng learned is not in line with the Westernization Movement. Now the only thing that is connected with the Westernization Movement is weapons.

However, the areas involved in the ordnance are limited after all, and the real Westernization Affairs is not limited to this. Zeng Disheng wanted to make achievements in the river project, which was a great thing. Yang Meng casually classified the river project into the Westernization Affairs.

"Is it the Westernization Affairs?"

After listening to the words of the Budang, Zeng Disheng thought for a while and came up with the answer.

"That's right! In order to make this river project fast and firm, mash is essential. Hubei has a lot of materials for making mash, so I built several mash factories in Hubei.

Don’t underestimate the Western Ash. This thing can not only repair rivers, but also build forts. There are too many things involved in this Westernization, and some of them still need to be understood slowly."

Zeng Disheng had many questions, but Yang Meng didn't have time to answer them one by one. Now this river project is a big deal. There are many people waiting to see him and Yang Meng joked. This time, he would take advantage of the opportunity of the quit flow and slapped them a few big shots in the face.

Now Yang Meng's enemies can be regarded as the world's enemies. Military weapons, court officials, and local officials are absolutely indispensable. With the breaking of the Yangtze River, Yang Meng has to establish an invincible momentum. For those who dare to come out and jump around at this time, they will also torture them to death. Without waiting for the river project to be completed, Yang Meng will make the officials in the world tremble when they think of his name.

"Disheng surrenders!"

Seeing that the Budang was not interested, Zeng Disheng couldn't continue to get involved. To be honest, he probably couldn't understand the books given by Yang Meng. He had also seen the gray in the books, but he didn't know that the gray could be used for water control.

It seems that many things need to be well understood. The knowledge in the Westernization Affairs seems to be worthy of his efforts.

After Luo Bingzhang and Hu Linyi left, Zeng Disheng also took a boat back to Jiangxi. The river was cut off, not intercepting the flow but diversion. The difficulty was not too great. Build two embankments and it would be done.

Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Jingzhou. Facing the Yangtze River more than two meters deep, it would take only one or two days to build a dam and cut off the current. In at most ten days, the remaining river water in the river channel would be introduced into an artificial lake. At that time, it was time to debate.

Luo Bingzhang and Hu Linyi returned to the territory. The first step was to accumulate momentum, use the notes to accumulate momentum, find a few reliable officials, and give a few notes that praise merits. It was simpler for the two of them.

These memorials are preludes. If you want to get off the boat from Yangbutang, you will only have the result of drowning unless the river project is completed.

During this period, the imperial court did not sing and dance to peace. Lin Jili's Northern Expedition Army gradually lacked food. In order to survive, the three of them attacked the southern camp again and again.

But the three of them had bad luck. The Yellow River diverted and the flood all the way to the surrounding area of ​​Tianjin. There was mud everywhere. Although the soldiers under the three of them had gone through hardships and became more and more elite, the advantages and disadvantages of the offense and defense were completely different in the mud. Shengbao's southern camp was waiting for work, while Lin Jili's troops were in the mud, and it was difficult to have speed. Without speed, it would be difficult to escape. Once they left Jinghai and were trapped again, there was only a dead end.

Although the offensive of Lin Ji and Li and the other three was fierce, the feint attack was still the main tactic. If you want to break the siege, you have to wait at least until the ground is frozen, but food is a big problem. After more than a year of being trapped in Jinghai, the three of them and their Taiping Army were almost at their limit.

The situation in Jiangning, Zhenjiang, Jiangnan, Jiangnan and Jiangbei was also quite bad. After Shi Dakai returned to Tianjing, the first route sent Chen Yucheng's troops to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Chen Yucheng moved, Xiang Rong and Toming Abdou must follow suit and maintain the situation. However, the best way to let the long-haired thieves break into Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

But the two men's troops were limited in the end, and the two battalions combined with only more than 60,000 people. It was difficult to encircle Chen Yucheng's troops with 30,000 people!

There were many urgent documents on the military aircraft, but the thoughts of all officials were not on the war. Yang Laosan's big moves in the two lakes attracted the attention of almost everyone.

Yang Laosan handled the river corruption case too outrageously, so he sent a large army to the officials' original home to confiscate people. This caused a series of tragedies. This was just a topic of conversation for the people after dinner. But for the vast number of officials in the Qing Dynasty, it was a painful pain.

Although he wished that Yang Laosan would die in Jiujiang, this person must be not afraid of curses and was still playing in Jiujiang. The memorials that broke the main stream of the Yangtze River have been in the court one after another. It is no secret that the memorials that arrived at the court were written one after another.

Cut off the thousands of miles of the Yangtze River. This is unprecedented. Most officials are not optimistic about Yang Laosan. Many people have written the memorials of impeachment, and they are just waiting for the time when there is no way to deal with it.

This time, Yang Meng touched too many officials' interests, and many small groups were also formed in the government and the country. They are now just waiting for the opportunity to add to the wrongs.

The Four Color Sticks are also a little dissatisfied with Brother Yang San, after all, the river is broken. It is an unprecedented thing, and it is normal to not do it. If you do it, it is a miracle. Compared with the miracle, the Four Color Sticks and a number of military aircraft still believe in common sense.

Four Color Sticks have been discussed in the study these days, most of the things discussed in the study were about how to excuse Yang San Ge. The military situation has been suppressed by impeaching Yang San Ge. The general trend in the court and the country has emerged, that is, the ministers in the world are targeting Yang San Ge.

Such a general trend is also unstoppable for the Four Color Sticks. I thought it would turn big things into small things, but Brother Yang’s side was not worry-free. Look at the recent two lakes’ notes, I’m afraid I’ll have to do things with great fanfare.

Once Brother Yang is defeated, I am afraid that what the ministers in the world say will be Yang Lao San’s treacherous and unscrupulous. If you don’t kill him, you will not be able to calm the public’s anger.

Now this situation is a deadlock. Brother Yang San is alone in the deadlock against all the ministers in the world. As the emperor's four-color stick and the military weapon in charge of the world's affairs, he can only be a spectator now. When the ending is over, he supports the victorious side.

Brother Yang cannot stop, but the leisurely mouths of the ministers in the world cannot be blocked. Such a huge deadlock is much more difficult than a hairy thief!

The diversion day was settled, and Yang Meng was still in charge of Jiujiang. He handed over the diversion responsibility to Guan Wen, Luo Bingzhang, and Hu Linyi. Yang Meng was very confident about this. Three days! At most, the water level of the main stream of the Yangtze River will drop rapidly. Once there is no water upstream, the embankment on Jiujiang will also start construction.

The fastest way to build dams and divert them is to use. The ships are sunk to block the river. The river ships filled with earth and rocks form two floating bridges. The other four floating bridges are prepared for the people to build dams. A temporary embankment is built within two days and reinforced within one month. It is Yang Meng's order.

Now hundreds of thousands of strong men near Jingzhou are waiting for the orders of the governor of Huguang. As long as you order it, you can drill a ship and build a dam directly!

"The auspicious time has come! Dicing a boat to divert the flow!"

With a wave of the triceratops in Guan Wen's hand, hundreds of officials from the lake also shouted heart-wrenchingly. After receiving the order, thousands of old sailors fed a few sips of old wine and jumped into the cold river water, and the diversion began!

One hour...two hours... nearly a thousand river boats slowly sank into the water. Hundreds of thousands of civilians set up a long snake formation on the six floating bridges, and baskets of earth and rocks slowly blocked the main channel of the Yangtze River.

Due to the water flow, the river water downstream of Jingzhou became extremely turbid, which is not a good phenomenon. Although the soil and stones were thrown into the river together with bamboo baskets, the water flow was extremely turbulent between the gaps of the wrecked ship. After many bamboo baskets were thrown into the river, they floated up in a short time, and they were washed away!

From early morning to late night, the villagers on the floating bridge worked hard all day and finally built two large dams more than two miles long and three meters wide and one meter high!

"It's done!"

The most nervous among the three was Luo Bingzhang. He didn't want to lose his reputation on the Yangtze River forever. When he first arrived by the river in the morning, he looked sad. Now that he had received the report from his subordinates, Luo Bingzhang felt that he had become more than ten years younger.

"It depends on the situation on the tributary!"

The young and strong Hu Linyi was not as excited as Luo Bingzhang. The matter of intercepting the river was just the beginning. Once the tributaries collapsed, these two dams would have to be blown up.

"How long will it take for the river water from the tributary to reach Jiujiang?"

After glaring at Hu Linyi, who did not speak auspicious words, Luo Bingzhang asked with some fear.

"At most three days, after three days, the tributary has nothing to do, and the real task is accomplished!"

Looking at the two brightly lit dragons in the night, Hu Linyi also clenched his fists. Now the situation is impossible to collapse!

"Master, the flow has been cut off in front of you!"

"Hmm! How is the situation of the tributary?"

The night was already deep, but the Jiujiang Prefecture Office was still brightly lit and crowded. Every telegram along the tributary was also an object that made Yang Meng worried. Once the tributary collapsed, the trouble had just begun.

"The water level rises are not obvious. According to the analysis from Xishan, from Jingzhou to Dongting Lake, there should be no major troubles. As long as the canal in Yuezhou area does not collapse, this matter will be done."

"It's done? It's just started!"

Yang Meng is confident that the river project will be successful. This river project is not a face-saving project. What is really worrying is water diversion, digging river channels and building dams!

In three days, Yang Meng's heart was truly stable after the Yangtze River Dam in Jingzhou and then the Dongting Lake Dam near Yuezhou. The slightly turbid water of Poyang Lake entered the lower reaches of the Yangtze River along the mouth of the lake.

According to reports along the way, the tributary with the highest water level has just touched the newly built dam body. It seems that this temporary tributary still has a large surplus.

"Hmph! This matter has been done, I want to see how many bastards are alive and dead!" (To be continued...)
Chapter completed!
