Chapter 1090 Military Supplies Are Always Urgent

"Bring the system to Datang ()"

There was a loud 'boom', and gravel flew everywhere.

A man was lying on the ground with his head in his arms, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.

When the gravel and dust had almost settled, someone rushed over.

"Are you dead? Tong Liu, are you dead?" A person who passed by shouted to the person lying there motionless.

There was no response, he shook his head: "Carry him away."

Two people came over, one in front and one behind to carry the person.

Just as they met, the man suddenly moved. He lay there and turned his head to look around, and suddenly shouted: "I'm alive, I'm alive, I don't need to fight if I encounter a dud again, and when the canal is built, I won't be sentenced to death."

"Tong Liu, you're not dead?" The person just now shouted to this person.

Tong Liu looked at him in confusion, put his fingers into his ears and scratched and pressed: "I can't hear, my ears are buzzing."

"Let's go, go back with us, hurry up." The man gestured and shouted.

"Ah, I understand, let's go." Tong Liu understood.

These people are building a canal to connect the Weishui River with the Yellow River.

At the source, there are rivers flowing into the Yellow River and rivers flowing into the Weishui River.

That is to say, the terrain of the source is high and flows to both sides.

So if you want the boat to go up the Weishui River and enter the Yellow River, you need to build a pool above, and the water in the pool will flow to both sides. Many rivers on other mountains converge into the pool.

The Weishui River flows eastward and will eventually flow into the Yellow River, but it is not this key place.

Let's dig together, and put explosives in places that are difficult to dig.

Sometimes there will be duds in explosives, and death row prisoners and people with serious crimes will deal with duds.

Just take them out, duds are not really extinguished.

If no one deals with it, you don't know when it will explode.

Li Yi had duds in the past when he was excavating the mountain, and some of them suddenly exploded after a month.

Now it's a quarter of an hour. If there is no movement, whoever should go up will go up.

Two people have been killed by the explosion. Today, Tong Liu's family made him wait for half an hour, and in time for dinner, there is no need to arrange the guns immediately at this location.

After dinner, he went up, but before he could touch it, the air wave appeared first. He reacted quickly and fell down directly.

He was considered alive. It would not be his turn next time. It would take a long time for him to get another turn.

Those who needed to be exiled took the initiative to ask to do the most dangerous work. As long as the canal was built, the death penalty would be changed to exile, exile to imprisonment, and imprisonment to flogging.

The exiled people did not want to leave. Going to a place where they were unfamiliar with people and the chance of survival was too small.

The imprisoned people wanted to be beaten and then go home to recuperate.

At first they did not think it was a big deal. When two people were killed by the explosion, they finally understood that they were really risking their lives.

Today Tong Liu almost died. Tong Liu was a death row prisoner and was hanged.

He had a conflict with his neighbor, so he poisoned the neighbor's house and poisoned the neighbor's horse and cow.

The neighbor's family was rich, but when he met the neighbor's dog, he simply set it on fire.

The neighbor's house, firewood pile, horse, and cow were all burned, and the neighbor's family escaped.

His behavior was bad, causing great property damage, and he almost burned people to death, so he was sentenced to hanging.

He was dissatisfied, why? I didn't want to burn anyone, I want to appeal.

While he was appealing, someone found him and told him to go to work, survive, and the hanging would be changed to exile.

His family helped him to continue to appeal, and he came to work by himself.

Now it can be confirmed that as long as he is careful in the future, he will not be hanged.

As for exile, he can still apply to do dangerous work.

If there is another dud, he will take the initiative to dismantle it, and he will not die, but will be changed from exile to imprisonment.

Of course, those who have committed heinous crimes such as killing people, and also robbing, murdering, etc., must be killed without any chance.

Otherwise, it is encouraging everyone to kill, anyway, there is a great possibility that they will not die.

Everyone continued to work, drilling holes and placing explosives for blasting. Tong Liu temporarily took care of his ears. His vestibular nerves were affected, nausea, vomiting!

Murayama Jyunaka was also in the crowd. He was very scared. It would be his turn when the next dud appeared.

If possible, he wanted to wait for three days before removing the dud.

But obviously not, the progress of the construction would wait for him for three days?

"Everyone work hard. The canal will be completed by the end of June. Except for those who have been convicted and their sentences reduced, everyone else will get a lot of money. Be careful."

The "foreman" in charge of this place shouted loudly. He was happy because he got more money than others.

Countless people were working on the entire canal at the same time.

The food was not bad. There were both meat and vegetables. Stews were limited. The staple food, pickles and soup were free to eat.

For example, his team could eat chicken liver and pork liver in sauce tonight. People who did not work at night were allowed to drink half a catty of yellow wine.

It had nothing to do with the duds. It was a reward for the fast progress of the project.

He commanded properly and was rewarded with an extra one string of money.

Those who worked at night would drink and eat braised food before resting tomorrow morning.

There were boats arriving on the Wei River, carrying things and walking to the bank of the Yellow River and putting them in the warehouse.

One of them was waiting for the canal to be repaired and navigable, and the other was waiting for the ship that brought things back.

Once the ship that brought things unloaded the goods, it would quickly return empty.

Load things and change people at this place.

So far, only one batch of 50 ships have returned. The ships did not go to pick up the things they needed to pick up along the way, but just got out of the way.

Others took over the boats and loaded the goods to the front line.

This is the fastest way to send military supplies to the source of the Yellow River through three channels: water, land, water, and land.

People who build roads and prepare to replace ships may not understand strategy, but they must know that fighting requires food for people and horses, and they also know that the Tang Dynasty will be stable if it wins the battle.

…

"Theoretically, it's just a few days away. As long as the ship is connected, the soldiers in the front will have no worries from now on."

Bi Gou is not an ordinary person. He is looking forward to occupying the Yellow River Basin.

That is not a problem of two freshwater lakes, but a matter of compressing the strategic living space of Tubo.

There are many Tubo tribes around the two freshwater lakes. They rely on the lakes to live, divert water, graze, and hunt.

Animals need to drink water. There are many animals drinking water in large lakes, and animals such as night wolves and leopards also go to find food.

Birds, mountain goats, etc. in summer.

Su Yan took a sip of tea, and he was anxious. He wished he could fly in the clouds and help deliver the things needed in the next few days.

According to the speed of the ship, when another fleet of ships arrives at the place, there will be ships or propeller ships arriving every day.

What was sent was not only things, but also the belief that victory was inevitable. With continuous logistics, the soldiers at the front had fewer worries.

"Tingshuo, rest assured. The things from Shu have arrived. Li Yi's logistics operation is really too strong." Song Jing knew what Su Yan was thinking.

Tingshuo is Su Yan's courtesy name. Su Yan's "Ying" means upright. His courtesy name is Tingshuo, Ting means the court, and Shuo is pronounced as shí.

Tingshuo means the rock of the country, or the mainstay, which matches his name, Yan.

Another interpretation is also quite interesting. Tingshuo means a person with a high degree in the court. The name means an upright and learned person in the court.

However, his father is Su Gui, the Minister of the Left, so he is probably not so vulgar.

"Yes!" Su Yan replied with one word. He really admired Li Yi. When he got the chance, he wanted to occupy the entire Yellow River Basin.

The key is that Li Yi not only said it, but he really did it.

This time he occupied the Yellow River Basin, and next time he could try the Yangtze River Basin.
