Wu Yijiu, and the two brothers Wu Yiyong were walking on a dam on the north bank of the Jiehe River.

Because the Yellow River is diverted, the water of the boundary river is much smoother than in previous years, flowing slowly and flowing to the Bohai Sea.

The water flow slowed down, but the navigation capacity of the Bian River is still in the Bian River, which is about the Haihe River in later generations. The Haihe River in later generations can operate 300,05,000 tons of sea ships. In the era of sailing, there was no ship that could not enter the ports in Tianjin city from the Haihe River.

Therefore, on the slowly flowing boundary river, there are still sails and extremely busy.

The ports on both sides of the river are still very busy. Countless dock workers shout labor mail, either shoulder-to-back, two-wheeled trolleys, or cranes driven by human trampling to unload bundles of cargo onto cargo ships near the dock.

However, in the long run, Jiehe's navigation capacity is still poor, and a new port will be built at the entrance of Tianjin East City sooner or later.

"It's still good, the boundary river is still there." Wu Yiyong looked at the familiar boundary river that he suddenly narrowed a lot, and was very uncomfortable, "But without the north flow of the Yellow River, it's still inconvenient."

"It's nothing," Wu Yiji said, "The Yellow River has been changed, but the Yongji River is still there... Work was dredging last year and this year. If it can be completed, the Liao grain can still be transported to Kaifeng Prefecture.

By the way, how is Kaifeng Prefecture now? But it has become a dead city?"

"It's almost time to die!" Wu Yijiu snorted, "The great Central Plains was ruined by Zhao Huan and Du Chong! Third brother, are we really letting them go?"

"Let it go?" Wu Yijiu sneered, "How is it possible? But I don't care about it for the time being. I have to finish Huang, Huai and Yundao, right?"

"That's it," Wu Yiyong nodded, "How long does it take? Is five years enough?"

"At least five years, maybe ten years!" Wu Yijiu said, "It is worth it to complete a thousand-year plan after ten years of hard work.

In fact, the Beiliu River channel is severely silted, and the Damingfu and Puyang River sections are broken from time to time, and it is also a matter of time before the Yellow River diverts southward."

"The river in the North is really too dangerous," Wu Yiyong said in agreement. "Puyang turns north at almost a right angle, and this section is diverted from time to time, rushing the ground to a scattered end."

"It's all Zhao Song who is messing around," Wu Yijiu shook his head, "I don't understand, but why are you doing Sanyi going back to the river? It's just a pain for the people!"

"They don't learn to create," Wu Yiyong said, "It's not easy like us, both measuring, drawing, and building... it's not easy!"

Wu Yiyong worked hard on the courses in the Knights Academy of Measurement, Drawing, and Construction. However, he was not a specialist in engineering, and he could not compare with the construction masters of Yuntai Academy and Yanjing University.

"The Yellow River, the Huai River is still not easy to manage!" Wu Yijiu seemed to sigh a little, "This is the burden of our Great Zhou Republic, so it's better for my elder sister... I'm guarding a wealthy Yangtze River, which is close to the South Ocean, and you can make money even if you lie down!"

"Sister..." Wu Yiyong frowned, "Third brother, do you regard Dong Song as your old enemy?"

In his opinion, the old enemy was ultimately the Western Song Dynasty!

Guanlong and Jingchu have been a place of martial arts since ancient times!

Although Jiangnan and Jianghuai are gentle and prosperous, they are not a place for war.

"It was my father who made the Eastern Song Dynasty an enemy!" Wu Yijiu smiled, "He felt that the Eastern Song Dynasty was established as a country in business and trade, similar to me. He could rely on the South and the West to obtain huge profits. Jiangnan and Huainan can also support people. In time, there will be a population of hundreds of millions, which is a major concern!"

Wu Yiyong just smiled and refused to comment.

Of course he could not imagine how magnificent the Age of Discovery and the Industrial Revolution were. No matter how many places the Western Song Dynasty occupied with which elite troops had been produced since ancient times, it would not be a rival to the Eastern Song Dynasty in the future.

An industrialized world empire with a population of 100 million is of American level! How could such a country be defeated by a backward feudal military country?

"Brother," Wu Yijiu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Wu Yiyong, with a serious expression. "If you were asked to lead your troops to destroy the Eastern Song Dynasty after the completion of the Huanghuai Transportation Project, would it be successful?"

"After the completion of the Huanghuai Transportation Project?" Wu Yiyong was stunned at first, and then said without hesitation, "No!"

"Why?"

"There is no Yangtze River Navy," Wu Yiyong said, "and he did not take down Xiangyang in the upper reaches. He could only march from the two Huaihe Rivers, and there were many water in the east and many mountains in the west, so it was not convenient to march.

If the army advances, logistics can only rely on the canal, that is, they can only go to Huaidong. The enemy only needs to use a bastion to block the canal for a long time.

Once the canal is locked and our army goes deeper, problems will occur in the logistics supply of food and grass.

Moreover, with the enemy's Yangtze River in hand, he can mobilize heavy troops to be used in key areas at any time through the Yangtze River water transportation. It is very convenient and it is easy to form an absolute numerical advantage in the local area."

"Where to take down Jingchu first?" Wu Yijiu asked again.

"It's very difficult." Wu Yiyong shook his head and said, "Xiangyang's city... can only be successful if it is long-term siege, and it cannot last for hundreds of thousands of people for several years. But how can the transfer of food and grass for so many soldiers be completed?"

"It just can't be beaten..." Wu Yijiu breathed. He had already obtained this answer, and it was obtained from the Dujun Jishi.

The Dujun Pilot also believes that unless a fleet can defeat the Eastern Song Navy in the near-shore and inland rivers and Haikou enters the Yangtze River, the Republican Army will never be able to win!

But the Huangshui Navy did not say that it could be achieved. Since its establishment, the Zhou Navy has been determined to build large sailing battleships with deep drafts. It does not attach much importance to sand-type near-shore ships, and ignores sailing ships even more.

The predecessor of the Eastern Song Navy, the Donghai Kingdom Navy, focused on near-shore naval forces, and the warships were mainly sand-type gunboats that could be equipped with Yangtze River.

Therefore, in offshore and inland river wars, the Navy of the Great Zhou Republic had no advantage.

It also takes effort and time to catch up in the Huangshui Navy, so it is really not easy to defeat the seemingly weak Dong Song.

"Big Brother," Wu Yijiu looked at his brother, "What do you think of Japan?"

"Japan?" Wu Yiyong was a little confused. This Lingbang, who was dressed in a vegetarian manner, was really a bit mysterious.

The senior navy generals may have some understanding. Most of them have visited Hakata Port in Japan with the ship. But Wu Yiyong, an army general (he has been promoted to the rank), has never been to Japan or studied the Japanese issue.

"San brother, why are you asking about Japan?" Wu Yiyong continued, "Does he want to use troops against Japan?"

"It's not a stern," Wu Yijiu shook his head, "It's the adults who want to conquer Japan!"

"Conquer Japan?" Although Wu Yiyong likes to fight, he never thought about invading Japan.

After all, he had no tribute to the Japanese people. He was also skeptical about "the Yin people traveled to the east" and so on. Of course, he would not conquer Japan for a "possible" rich continent.

"Old man believes," Wu Yijiu stretched out two fingers and said, "Japan has gold and silver and copper mines. Once conquered, it can alleviate the difficulties of currency. This is one of them. Although Japan is an island country, its land is not small, its population is small, and its climate and land are also suitable, and it can be colonized. This is the second.

Brother, since the Lord is determined to fight in the east, we should follow our sons. The head coach of the eastward war, might as well be the elder brother take charge of the boss.”

It turned out that Wu Yijiu wanted to send a commander of the Japanese dispatch army to Wu Yiyong to do it.

Behind this assignment, there are naturally some small thoughts!

Wu Yiyong had not studied Japan much, but his younger brother Wu Yijiu found the two Japanese factions, including Chen Tianli, the military officer of the Navy and Fan Zhiwen, and repeatedly studied Japan's national conditions.

Finally, we came to the conclusion that Japan is a country with fragmented military power. There are no powerful official troops, but there are countless armed forces of "manager owners", "city masters" and "village chiefs".

Moreover, the terrain is very fragmented. There is only one Bandong Plain. Such a terrain is very difficult to concentrate troops to fight, and it is just a battle between the villages, manors and villages. However, it is not conducive to the conquerors' colonial rule.

So letting Wu Yiyong send troops to Japan is equivalent to sending him into a quagmire!

It is easy to get in, but it is difficult to complete conquest and establish a solid rule.

After entering, there will definitely be a lot of bad things! It will definitely involve Wu Yiyong's energy.

Once Wu Yiyong becomes a Japanese connection, it will not be easy to get out of Japan, because there are so many "house owners" in Japan, and the "city owners" and "village chiefs" cannot coax them?

Maybe Wu Yiyong will be stranded in Japan for the rest of his life and become a "King of Japan"!

"Is this what the adults mean?" Wu Yiyong was a little confused.

"Not that." Wu Yijiu smiled, "but I think that the battle of Japan cannot be handed over to others, and must be firmly controlled by the people of my Wu family."

"Why can't you leave it to others?" Wu Yiyong asked.

Wu Yijiu said: "Isn't that obvious? Japan is hanging overseas. Although it is not far away, it is not very close. If you want to go on a voyage, you must grant the power of the ruler to the ruler. But its country is not small, and it produces a lot of gold, silver and brass. The power of the ruler is handed over to others. What should I do if I want to be the king of the map together?

Moreover, the country will definitely invest huge amounts of money in order to fight against Japan. These investments need to be returned. How to distribute the benefits after winning the battle against Japan is also important. I am really worried about handing them over to outsiders!"

Have the power of governing? There are gold, silver, brass, and the benefits need to be distributed... Wu Yiyong was already a little moved after hearing these words.

The Japanese Battle seems to be able to make a lot of money! It doesn’t mean that illegal profits are just legal opportunities to make money, right?
