Please ask me to be the emperor

Chapter 1158 After the great victory

"Your Highness, after careful inspection, the shipping situation on the Weihe River has been basically understood!" Lu Weiqi took the document and reported to Zhang Shunhui in a strict manner.

"The section from Baoji to Xianyang has large water and is navigable. The route is two hundred miles long. The current is fast and the water is shallow. Only small boats carrying a thousand kilograms can pass."

"Above Baoji, boats are not allowed, only rafts can be used to transport wood, which is better than nothing."

"Below Xianyang, the water conditions are slightly better. To the mouth of the Yellow River, a boat of 10,000 kilograms can be carried, which is ten times the weight of a chariot and horse. It is only slightly usable."

"Ten thousand catties?" Zhang Shun pondered for a moment and couldn't help but calculate, "My army alone will need to sail at least 12,000 times."

"Then how many ships do we expect to be able to recruit now, and how many round trips are we planning to make?"

"It's hard to say!" Lu Weiqi shook his head after hearing this, "Originally, after the rebels occupied Xi'an, Hancheng's coal trade was cut off, and many ships were left empty."

"However, as a result, some ships are stranded in Hancheng and unable to mobilize transportation supplies. Currently, there are about 300 known ships."

"That's it!" Zhang Shun thought for a while and said, "Now we can recruit as many as we can, compile a roster, and inform everyone who participates in transporting grain and grass to pay the carriage and horse fees according to the transportation of grain and grass and the distance."

"Whether you want money, wages or food, you can"

Having said this, Zhang Shun hesitated again and added: "However, we should try our best to pay with easy-to-carry money and rates, but we can't force it!"

"Remember, the more difficult the situation, the more important it is to understand that credit is more important than money and food!"

"For the ships stranded in Hancheng, when the rebels enter Shanxi, send someone as soon as possible and order Fatty Zhang to mobilize them all for use!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Upon hearing this, Lu Weiqi quickly picked up a pen and paper and wrote down the key points emphasized by Zhang Shun.

"What is the condition of the Weihe River? Does it need dredging?" Zhang Shun thought for a while and asked again.

"It would be better if it could be dredged!" Lu Weiqi agreed. "First, the rocks in the Weihe River are fighting with sand, so that the river is silted up and the river is getting shallower, so large ships cannot be used."

"Secondly, the Wei River is unstable in dry and flood conditions. It is easier to sail during flood periods, but it is often stranded during dry periods."

"It is said that during the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Zhang Shun shook his head when he heard this and interrupted Lu Weiqi's long speech.

If we still want to continue operating Shaanxi and lay a solid foundation, then reviving the former glory of Weihe River shipping is still the top priority.

But now that we want to build a "one-wave flow", shipping can only meet current military needs, and there is no need to waste materials, manpower and energy on it.

To be honest, Zhang Shun is really disappointed that only small boats weighing more than 10,000 kilograms can travel on the Weihe River.

Ten thousand kilograms is only eighty shi. Although it is said to be ten times as powerful as a cart and does not require livestock, it can only be said to be barely usable.

"What about the condition of the Fen River? Can we go boating?" Zhang Shun continued to ask after confirming the condition of the Wei River.

"I don't know much about this matter, so I need to ask Sun Chuanting in detail!" Lu Weiqi said with a frown.

"Okay, let's do this. I'll go back and ask Sun Chuanting to submit a report about Shanxi's mountains, rivers, important roads and dangerous places!" Zhang Shun nodded.

"Yes!" Lu Weiqi also nodded. Just as he was about to discuss the other two marches and the transportation routes of baggage and grain with Zhang Shun, he heard a "squeak" sound.

Lu Weiqi looked back and saw Wang Jinyi pushing the door open and entering.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but asked in surprise.

Today, the two of them were discussing military aircraft. Unless there was something important, Wang Jinyi would definitely not disturb them.

"Good news!" Wang Jinyi said happily as he took out the document and handed it over.

"The General Zhenxi formed a formation to kill Lu Yunchang, the head of the Lu clan's chieftain family, and Yunchang's son Lu Hong surrendered with Lian Deng."

"Then Wei Congyi led his cavalry to defraud Datong City, opened a road to Xining, and then made a surprise attack on the territories under the jurisdiction of Dongqi and Dongli at Dachuankou."

"When the chieftains of Dongqi and Dongli heard that their family members had fallen into the hands of the rebels, they couldn't help but feel anxious, and their soldiers had no fighting spirit."

"The chieftains of Nian Bo, together with He Jin, Wei Congyi and others, attacked from three sides and finally broke through."

"He Jin killed Qi Tingjian, the leader of the Dongqi family, Wei Congyi killed Li Tianyu, the leader of the Dongli family, and Xining was peaceful."

"Oh?" Zhang Shun was noncommittal after hearing this. He opened the letter and read it carefully for a long time, and couldn't help but laugh.

"There are three toasts, one for each person, so they are divided evenly!"

"King Shun?" Wang Jinyi and Lu Weiqi suddenly fell silent upon hearing this.

Yes, you said one is a coincidence, two is a coincidence, but why are there three of us? Maybe you guys have already discussed it, right?

"That... that, actually there is a reason for this, but I dare not say it!" Wang Jinyi pondered for a moment and couldn't help but hesitate.

"Say, now that you've opened your mouth, why don't you dare to say it?" Zhang Shun said sternly.

"Um...I heard that General Zhenxi took a risk and led his bodyguards to rush into the formation before Lu Yunchang could get into formation, and then he killed Lu Yunchang." Wang Jinyi couldn't help but add insult to injury.

"It's just that he himself was seriously injured and had to stay in Zhuanglang to recuperate. That's why Wei Congyi and He Jin broke the thief."

In what way is his Wangbao gun inferior to Chen's sword? If I, Wang Jinyi, were to rush into the battle, I would certainly not be in such an awkward situation!

"Straight bitch!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but burst into anger upon hearing this, and slapped the table hard.

"I have long forbidden him to act recklessly and show off his bravery, but he insists on acting recklessly and showing off his bravery. How can this be accomplished?"

"Mr. Lu, you can draft a letter for me right now and scold him!"

"This... this is a great victory at least. It can stabilize Gansu so that the rebel army can recruit troops from it. It is a great achievement..." Lu Weiqi glanced at Zhang Shun and said.

"Great merit is due to great merit. Tell the three armies that they will be rewarded according to their merit!" Zhang Shun sneered.

"Letters are letters, you can scold them how you want, no one can escape!"

"By the way, pick some of the medicines listed above and bring them over with the messenger."

"Gong is merit, fault is fault, love is love, scolding is scolding, no one should be missing!"

"Okay, okay!" Lu Weiqi couldn't help crying or laughing.

My master's temper usually seems to be amiable, but I didn't expect him to be so fierce when he gets angry!

After a while, Lu Weiqi took care of it and then handed it over cautiously.

"Well, here, and here, these words are too elegant!" Zhang Shun pointed out.

"I'm asking you to curse, not to persuade. Use more vulgar words and be more violent!"

"Zhi Niang, I already told him during the last battle of Tongguan, but he still didn't listen."

"Tell him that if there is a next time, he will be punished!"

"If he is just trying to show off his bravery, why would he need Chen Changzhen?"

"Wukong, Wang Jinyi, Zhang Sanbai, Lu Xiangsheng, Cao Wenzhao, which one is inferior to him!"
