1.107 Land of the Nine Rivers

Yichang is located in the southeast of Lousang, about 235 miles away from Lousang.

"(濩) Dianshui is southeast again, west of the ancient city of Yichang County, and south into Juma Water. Juma Shuidong is in the south of the ancient city of Yichang County, and the prince of Guangyang is the prince of Hanfeng (Emperor Jing three years of the Xiongnu six descended to the king, and one of its places is in the north of Zhuozhou, and the north bank of the wall water is called "Qing". His son "baby" fief Yichang County Ancient City), Wang Mangzhi has rank. ”

To the south of Osawa it was incorporated into the new soil. Liu Bei was not familiar with it, so he did not take a boat directly to Yichang City. Halfway ashore, head south along the official road. Look as you go.

It didn't take long for the official road to pass through an ancient city. The name of the ancient city is Nanguancheng. According to the "Chronicles of the Nine Domains", this city was built by King Wuling of Zhao. Hearing that the young prince and marquis were heading south, the officials in the city all looked at each other. Along the way, the history of the ancient city will be told.

Nanguan City is now called Nanguan Township. There is only one long north-south street in the city, and there are hundreds of houses standing on the side of the street. More than 5,000 mouths. It's a relatively large township. After walking another thirty miles, the road came across an ancient mound. I asked the villagers nearby, and they said that it was the tomb of Hún Yé, the grandson of the former Han Pingqu Marquis.

Passing through the mound mulberry forest, it is Pingqu City.

I asked the old man in the field and learned the origin of Pingqu City.

Gongsun Hun evil (hún yé), a native of Yiqu Hu in the north, returned to the Han Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wen. One says that it is a descendant of Xirong, and some say that it is a Xiongnu race. In the third year of Emperor Jing (154 B.C.), Gongsun Kunxie attacked Wu and Chu with generals, helped to quell the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and worshiped Longxi Taishou with merit. In the sixth year of Emperor Jing (151 B.C.), in the spring and April, he sealed the Marquis of Pingqu and ate 3,220 households. In the fourth year of the Middle Yuan Dynasty (146 B.C.), he sat on the law and was exempted from being a concubine.

"Kuodi Chronicles" cloud: "The ancient city of Pingqu County is seventy miles north of Wen'an County, Yingzhou. "Yuan History • Geographical Chronicles" also has: "Bazhou Zhiyijin County has a Pingqu water plug".

Pingqu City is about 180 miles away from Lousang. Like Rongcheng, they are all former Han marquis, and the present Han has been abolished. About fifty-five miles further south, is the ancient city of Yichang.

The two marquis states of Pingqu and Yichang are all 100 miles.

It is said that the princes of the former Han Dynasty who were divided near their hometowns were mostly Hu people. I don't know if it's one of the banes of the Wuhu chaos.

In the former Han Dynasty, there were 3,220 households in Pingqu City. Although the county of the Han Dynasty was abolished, there are still more than 1,000 households in the city, with a population of more than 10,000. It is a relatively large township. Pingqu City is surrounded by water on all sides, and it is three miles horizontally and vertically. The city is intact, and the tower is still there. The inhabitants of the city also showed ruddy complexions and bright spirits compared to the people of the city. Life is quite easy. Liu Bei also found that many residents here are of mixed blood. Red-haired and yellow-bearded people can be seen everywhere. They are all dressed in Hanfu and behave like others. but my great people.

If not, this is also his own new fiefdom. Liu Bei actually gave birth to a feeling of unbearable chatter. There are no eggs under the dangerous nest. Seeing that the catastrophe is coming, the land is thousands of miles away. How can this ancient city, which has no quarrel with the world, stand alone?

The officials of Pingqu City also came to meet the new master. It is not inappropriate for the Han Dynasty to be parallel to the county and state, and it is not inappropriate to be placed under the rule of Linxiang. And the young prince is well-known in the world. Who in the north does not know, and who does not know?

Who doesn't want to follow the Lord!

The buildings in Pingqu City are very regular. There were floods from time to time, but they never hurt their muscles and bones. After all, it was the former Han Dynasty. It was once a large town with more than 3,000 households. When the city was built, no expense was spared, and it can be called solid. Out of Pingqu City, go south for fifty miles. I arrived at the destination of this trip, Yichang City.

Fifty miles away, Yichang City is a different scene. Similar to Rongcheng, it is also an endless muddy land. Crops are sluggish. Liu Bei got off the horse to check, and the roots were soaked in water and rotten. It's hard to have a good harvest.

Liu Bei then asked: Where does the water come from?

There was a Pingqu official, who came out and replied: Since the lord came from Xidian, can you know that there is still Dongdian here?

Liu Bei asked rhetorically: Could it be that Xidian is talking about digging Lidian?

The official replied, "Yes." Twenty-five miles west of Yichang, there is Wuping Pavilion. It is where Dongdian is located.

"There are no ninety-nine lakes." Why is there so much water here? Liu Bei traveled all the way and gradually came to know.

"Hanshu Astronomical Chronicles" contains: "In May of the first year of the first year of Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty (48 years ago), the Bohai Sea overflowed. "Hanshu Gou Xun Zhi" also has: "The sky tastes rain, the northeast wind, the sea overflows, the southwest goes out, soaked for hundreds of miles, and the land of the nine rivers has been gradually covered by the sea."

The land of nine rivers is talking about this lake area.

Originally. From the end of the Western Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a sea invasion on the west coast of Bohai Bay. The sea rises by one metre. The sea level rises, the river does not drain smoothly, and the lake and marsh are formed by the internal pool. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Hutuo River, the Lu River, the Huangshui, the Zhihe River, and the Gushui River all passed through the nearby depression and flowed into the sea. At this time, the Haihe River system had not yet been formed. As a result, the Dian area became a place where major rivers converge. Rivers are silted up, and water accumulates into lakes.

In recent years, it has been flooded for the ninth time in ten years.

Dongdian Lake, located in the lower reaches of Jishui, is flooded by Jishui, so it is also called "overflow lake". The water of the Lidian Lake is dug in the West Lake, flows out from the water of Ji and Shu, passes through the East Lake, and flows with the confluence of Zhangshui, Fushui, Lushui and Hutuo Water, and then enters the Bohai Sea.

No wonder.

If there is a west lake, there must be an east lake. This vast area of depression is full of rivers. It is known as the 'Land of Nine Rivers'.

It must be those who govern the water well to have the power to return to heaven.

If it comes to water control, there are two people in this dynasty, and I have to mention it.

Wang Jing, Wang Wu.

Ordered to build the dredging ditch together. The "flood method" was adopted to control the channels so that the water of the Yellow River would no longer be harmful.

It is said that since the Ping Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, for more than 50 years, the water conservancy of the big river and the Bianhe River has been in disrepair for a long time, the floods are raging, and the people are full of complaints. In April of the twelfth year of Yongping (69 years), Emperor Ming sent Wang Jing to govern the Bianqu, mobilized hundreds of thousands of soldiers, from Xingyang to Qiancheng Haikou, as long as more than 1,000 miles, and built the canal and built the embankment. In the summer of the following year, it was completed. A total of more than 10 billion dollars was spent. Since then, the big river and the Bianhe River have been separated, and the river has not invaded the river, which is convenient for transportation. Wang Jingyou is well-known, and he has served the imperial history with three moves. In the fifteenth year of Yongping (72 years), he sealed the river embankment and was in charge of the river embankment. In the seventh year of the founding (82 AD), he moved to Xuzhou Thorn History. The following year, he moved to Lujiang Taishou and died in office.

Since Wang Jing, Wang Wu ruled the river, the river in the next nearly 1,000 years, there has been no big flooding, the descendants will be Wang Jing's exploits and the ancient Yu water control on a par, there is Wang Jingzhi river millennium no trouble said. This shows the magnitude of its achievements.

Although the later dynasties also used great rivers to control waters, no one could beat them.

At that time, the water was small, but the water was still large. Leave it at that. Why is the future not as good as the previous dynasty? Matter.

There are Wang Jing, Wang Wu, and Zhuyu in front. And nowadays, books about the two of them can be seen everywhere. Just gather it and study it. Under the rule of Linxiang, these flood disasters are not enough to worry about.

Even in Yichang City, there are also 'people who can manage water'.

Liu Bei came to visit. When I asked, I knew that my ancestors had participated in the control of the big river!

This is based on the worship of Gao Feng as the 'pedestrian on the embankment'. Control the floods in the Dian area. Pedestrians, Hou officials, hosts and guests.

This person's name is Bian Ji, the character Yuangang. Not only is he proficient in many chapters of the sage Wang Jing's water control, but he also has a lot of experience in his "Great Yan Xuanji".

It turned out that Wang Jing's ancestors lived in Langxi County for generations. Its eighth ancestor Wang Zhong is good at Taoism and is famous for his good observation of celestial phenomena. Wang Jing was influenced by his family, and began to study "Zhou Yi" when he was young, and he was well-read, especially fond of astronomy. He is proficient in divination and feng shui, and has also written a monograph "Dayan Xuanji".

It is rumored that Wang Jing's deeds and behaviors must be preceded by yarrow (shī) turtle divination (divination with yarrow and tortoise shell). Even if you go out, you have to ask for good luck. Superstition is like this, and it can still govern the river for thousands of years. Where to reason.

Alas, what a strange person.
