The first thousand one hundred and thirty-two chapters royalism
The snow-capped Yangshan Mountain stands majestically on the horizon.★
The snow at the foot of the mountain can almost cover a person's waist.
But the breath of spring is already here.
Beihe is starting to thaw!
Zira! Zira!
The broken glacier rolled up countless ice floes and rushed downwards. The two pontoon bridges set up by the Han army were torn apart by this violent force.
Even standing at the top of Gaoque City, people are shocked and amazed by the power of nature.
But there are also people with particularly big ideas. Looking at this mighty river, the mother river that has nurtured countless ancestors and ancestors, a crazy idea suddenly occurred in their hearts.
"What if we widen the Beihe River, clear out the silt, and then connect the Beihe River with Wuhai..." Officials from the Mohist and Legalist families couldn't help but groan in comfort whenever they thought of this.
Beihe was originally the main channel of the river, but due to the force of nature, it became the auxiliary channel it is today.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Today's Beihe is still wide, turbulent, and powerful!
As a product of the Beihe flood season, Wuhai also has strong water storage capacity.
Once this plan is successful, it will be equivalent to having a valve that can regulate the water volume at the source of the river.
We can also use the abundant water of the Beihe River to turn many places on the grassland into land of plenty and even the granary of the Han family!
However, the amount of this project is really too large.
A conservative estimate is that it will at least not be inferior to the Qin Dynasty's Great Wall Project and Ling Canal Project, and will probably only be lower than the Qin Straight Road project.
Although it is said that the people of Qin had this ability seventy or eighty years ago.
But this does not mean that the Han Dynasty also has the same ability.
Unless the labor problem can be solved.
Otherwise, this will just be a fantasy.
The labor force required for this project is at least 200,000 yuan!
This is daunting.
The current Han Dynasty cannot and does not have the ability to send up to 200,000 young men outside the Great Wall for many years to carry out arduous and dangerous projects.
Economic reasons alone are enough to deter people.
However, this does not prevent some thoughtful people from quietly deciding in their hearts that they plan to investigate and write a plan here after the beginning of spring.
Because if you do this, even the final plan will be useless.
However, at least he could gain a reputation in front of the emperor and at the same time prove that he was not idle, but was 'enthusiastic about the king's affairs' and 'constantly thinking about the king's affairs'.
Even, if possible, it would be best to grow old overnight...
When the generals looked at the Beihe River in front of them, they all considered repairing the Bai Dao of the Qin people and connecting it with the Han Straight Dao.
It would be best if we could build a direct track to this place.
As for labor?
The Han army has a lot in hand now!
In terms of young and strong prisoners alone, the Han army now has close to 100,000 prisoners!
It can almost meet the needs of the restoration and consolidation of Baidao and the development of Qinzhidao.
However, north of Gaoque, on the vast grassland shrouded by the Yin Mountains, there was a different scene at this moment.
In the blizzard that just ended, the Huns tribe stranded here suffered a terrible blow.
There were dead bodies lying on the ground everywhere outside the camps of many tribes.
These are men who braved heavy snowfall and hunger to go out in search of food and firewood.
And in the camp, there were old, weak, women and children who were freezing to death and starving to death everywhere.
There are even newly born babies and a large number of pregnant women!
Since ancient times, the people who have been hardest hit by wars have always been those at the bottom of society.
And if they were defeated, it would be a devastating disaster for the people at the bottom.
This point is consistent regardless of whether it is ancient or modern, both at home and abroad.
This will be the case even in another two thousand years.
But for the Huns, the trauma caused by the defeat of Gaoque was even more serious.
This is especially true for these poor people who were unable to evacuate Yinshan in time.
Because their livestock, food and most of the young and strong men had been carried or driven out of Yulinsai by the Xiongnu nobles.
Those left here are the old, young, women and children who were abandoned and left to fend for themselves.
There are only a few young and strong people who are stranded due to various reasons.
And, this has brought terrible disaster to everyone stranded here.
In the cold winter snowstorm, they lacked food, firewood, clothing, even drinking water, salt and shelter.
Many families, entire houses, froze to death and starved to death.
Those who have survived to this day are basically dying and in a state of waiting to die.
In order to survive, many people exchange their children for food and tear down their bones for cooking.
But even so, the cold took away their lives mercilessly.
When the blizzard stopped, there were only a few survivors left.
They lay one by one beside the weak bonfire, looking at the world outside godlessly.
I want to go out, but I don't have any strength.
A Han army scout came out of Gaoque City, paddling a sled, and penetrated into this world filled with the smell of death. What they saw and heard was shocking.
The scouts had seen many domes scattered on both sides of the road. When they opened the domes, they found that they were full of frozen corpses.
There was even an extremely sad scene where a mother and her newly born child, whose head had just emerged, fell dead together in a corner of the dome.
The afterbirth on the child's head was still stained with blood.
But he will never live to see this world.
Even though the relationship between Han and Hungary was hostile, such a scene was really too shocking.
After all, the Chinese are not beasts or uncivilized savages.
It is naturally impossible to turn a blind eye to such a scene or even pretend not to see it.
Not to mention, the Chinese ** team has always claimed to be the king's division.
What is Master Wang?
Master Wang is the messenger of civilization, the dawn of dawn, the messenger who brings the emperor’s rain, dew and thunder to all the barbarians!
Since ancient times, when the king's army came out, even the people of the enemy country would eat the pulp from the pot.
The various tribes of the barbarians knelt beside the king in fear, and respectfully dedicated the treasures of their tribes and kingdoms.
Therefore, after seeing this situation, the captain who led the team ordered people to report back to Gaoque and immediately organized manpower to carry out rescue.
After Yi Zong learned of the specific situation, he immediately sent more than a thousand people and more than a dozen military doctors to rescue the Huns who were in a critical situation of life and death.
Yi Zong's decision made countless Hun nobles and soldiers who surrendered shed tears of gratitude.
In the past, on the grasslands, if a certain tribe suffered a disaster, let alone being rescued by Shan Yuting, even the burden it should bear would not be reduced.
The tribe that suffered the disaster, even its own tribe, deserved it!
And now, the Han Dynasty actually took the initiative to extend a helping hand to the Huns who were in crisis?!
What does this prove?
This proves that, at the very least, the Han Dynasty was more reliable and responsible than the Xiongnu Chan Yuting.
It also made countless people let go of their worries.
After all, the Han Dynasty people were willing to rescue and help even the Xiongnu tribe who had not surrendered and did not know whether they were enemies.
Then the Han Dynasty will not ignore the surrender and slaves!
