Chapter 168: The eldest brother has real skills
However, although the control of Huang is an urgent and urgent matter, until now, the ministers of the imperial court are still in endless arguing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhong Hao came from later generations, so he naturally knew that the Great Song Dynasty wanted to come up with a specific plan, and he would have to wait for a while. Because in history, it was not until another four years later, in the first year of Jiayou, that the Yellow River broke again, and Wen Yanbo and his father-in-law Fu Bi came to power before they finally made a decision and formulated the plan of "River into Six Towers".
In addition to controlling the river, this plan to control the floods was mainly to keep the Yellow River flowing eastward, so as to continue to keep the northern silt mud ponds as a weapon to shield the Khitan.
However, after the implementation of the Liuta River plan, it still ended in failure.
And then the privy envoy Jia Changchao took the opportunity to attack, trying to use this as an excuse to attack the prime minister Wen Yanbo and his father-in-law Fu Bi, and finally led to the "prison of the Six Towers River". Although Wen Yanbo and his father-in-law Fu Bi survived the turmoil, the relevant personnel involved in the excavation of the Liuta River were deposed.
Although the plan of the Liuta River is a relatively good plan in the opinion of Li Zhongchang and other professional river control personnel. But in fact, before the implementation, there was a lot of controversy, many people opposed it, and there were many reasons for the failure, and there were too many conflicts of interest, but the main reason is that the Liuta River itself has a narrow riverbed, which is difficult to accommodate the water volume of the Yellow River.
Fu Bi's confidant Ouyang Xiu was the one who strongly opposed the Six Pagoda River plan formulated by Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi. Of course, Ouyang Xiu is a person who is upright and upright, and he opposes this matter purely from the perspective of facts, thinking that this plan is not feasible, and there is still a difference between the opposition of political enemies like Jia Changqi.
Now, since Zhong Hao knows that the Six Towers River plan will fail, whether it is public or private, he will naturally try his best to explain the drawbacks of the Six Towers River plan to Fu Bi and try his best to prevent this plan. Moreover, Zhong Hao still has some understanding of the experience of controlling Huang summarized by later generations, and maybe after stating it to his father-in-law Taishan, he will make himself more favored by Taishan.
Zhong Hao knew that the root of the Yellow River's flood control lies in sand control, and he felt that the strategy of "controlling water and attacking sand" proposed by Pan Jitao, an expert on the Meiji River, could be regarded as a good strategy for controlling the Yellow River's floods.
His father-in-law Taishan finally entered the dynasty to govern, and Zhong Hao still expects that he will follow him "to achieve the Tao alone, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven", but he can't be easily removed from power.
Of course, these are all later words, and my father-in-law will have to wait a few years before he can enter the court.
And history doesn't know if it will change its direction because of its own crossing, triggering the butterfly effect, it's hard to say! Zhong Hao naturally hopes that he will not change because of this, otherwise his advantage in predicting history will be completely gone-
After the failure of the Liuta River plan, there is still no suitable plan to deal with the floods of the Yellow River, and it is still in a state of tinkering, still endangering the people on both sides of the river.
After the failure of the plan of the Liuta River to guide the eastward flow of the Yellow River, only four years later, in the fifth year of Jiayou, the Yellow River broke again in the Lexidu of the lower reaches of Shanghuxi, the Yellow River diverted through the present Chaocheng, Guantao, Leling, Wudi into the sea, the Song people called this river "East Flow", this time there is no need to deliberately divert the east, the Yellow River itself flows eastward.
However, the northward flow of the Yellow River still exists, and the eastward flow is only a branch, and the current is smaller.
The Song court continued to quarrel over whether to let the Yellow River flow east or north, and there was no definite solution.
It can be said that the flooding of the Yellow River tormented the Northern Song Dynasty all the time, until the change of Jingkang and the southern crossing of the Song Dynasty, it was no longer tormenting the Great Song Dynasty. Because the Southern Song Dynasty could no longer control the Yellow River area, the trouble of the Yellow River left a headache for the Jin people.
Of course, the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers said: If you return the Yellow River region to us, we would like to give you a headache and continue to be tortured by the Yellow River!
Of course, these are later words, Zhong Hao, a later person, knows it, but Yang Huaiyu definitely doesn't know. Their chat was only about the Yellow River's burst of the embankment in Guogukou in Guantao County, the Daimyo Mansion in July last year.
Zhong Hao and Yang Huaiyu said that they were chatting, but in fact, most of the time Zhong Hao was talking, and Yang Huaiyu was listening. Yang Huaiyu only has some understanding of the recent events of the Yellow River floods, and in terms of the history of the Yellow River floods and the causes of their formation, he is far less thorough than Zhong Hao, a later person.
After talking about the heavy flood, Zhong Hao sighed: "Today's Yellow River really responds to the saying that 'the Yellow River is harmful, and it is only profitable'." It is a pity that this Hetao area, the only area that benefits from the Yellow River, is occupied by party members. The water network in the Xingling area is intertwined, as straight as a plug to the south of the Yangtze River, whether it is farming or grazing, it is far superior to other places. It's a pity that such a rich place is occupied by party members! In the land of Xingling, there is Helan Mountain in the west to shield the cold wind in the northwest, and there is Hanhai in the east to block it, so that it is difficult for foreign enemies to invade, and this natural danger is especially the Yangtze River, which is as wide as the abyssal sea. It's too difficult for my Great Song Dynasty to break through the Dutch Mountains and go straight to the place where his henchmen are thriving! ”
Yang Huaiyu listened to Zhong Hao's emotion, and said loudly: "Big brother don't have to be discouraged, although the Western Thief is temporarily rampant, but its domestic situation has never been stable, such a regime will not last long, once there is turmoil, it will be the opportunity for my Great Song Ping to destroy the Western Thief!" At that time, our western army will definitely be able to level Hengshan in one fell swoop, cross the Hanhai, and go straight to Helan Mountain! ”
Zhong Hao knew that although there had been turmoil in the Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty had not been able to extinguish them. Even the Jin people who destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty had nothing to do with Xixia, a Xiaoqiang who couldn't be killed. It was not until a full hundred years after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty that the Western Xia fell under the iron heel of the invincible Mongol Empire.
However, Zhong Hao looked at Yang Huaiyu's resolute face, and it was not easy to hit him, so he just followed Yang Huaiyu's words and said, "I hope so!" However, I think our Great Song Dynasty should not only focus on Hengshan, but also beat people with two fists, and also plot from Hehuang! ”
Although Zhong Hao knew that Western Xia was difficult to be defeated, he could still talk about it on paper, at least he could show his ability, let Yang Huaiyu admire himself, fool Yang Huaiyu by the way, and sell his strategy of opening up Hehuang.
Zhong Hao dipped his fingers in the tea and drew the word "Fan" on the table at random, but the tail was very long, and the point in the middle of the word Fan was drawn vertically. Later generations all know that the Yellow River is a few characters, in fact, Zhong Hao originally wanted to draw a few words, but when he put down the pen, he thought that the traditional Chinese character of a few words is "several", if it is written as a few words in simplified Chinese, he has to spend more time explaining what kind of word this is, anyway, he has to draw Hengshan, so he simply drew a mortal word.
Zhong Hao pointed to the ordinary word outside and said: "The outside of this ordinary word is the Yellow River!" He pointed to a vertical dot in the word and said, "This is Hengshan!" He pointed to the top of the vertical point and said, "This is Hanhai!" ”
Zhong Hao continued: "It is too difficult to attack the Xingling region of the Western Thief's foundation from here in Hengshan or the Hanhai region, these Hengshan and Hanhai Heavenly Hazards are the natural barriers of Western Xia." ”
Then Zhong Hao went all the way to the front of the Yellow River and said, "But from here, the Hehuang region, it will be much easier to attack Western Xia!" Now the horns of the Qingtang Dynasty are old and sick, and their three sons are in dispute, if the Great Song Dynasty plots the Hehuang area as soon as possible, and then the Hehuang is a springboard to attack the Western Thief, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ”
Yang Huaiyu used to know that his eldest brother had some skills, but he thought that his skills were all in civil affairs and government affairs. I didn't expect that my eldest brother knew so much about the geographical situation of the world, and he just drew the trend of the Yellow River with a random stroke.
The Yang family is a family of generals, who fought for the Great Song Dynasty for many generations, and tried their best to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, so they got the permission of the official family to copy a picture of the world in the palace from the Chongzheng Palace, which was treasured by the Yang family, and it was impossible for ordinary people to see it. Yang Huaiyu, as the son-in-law of the family, has the opportunity to see the world Kunyu map.
And his eldest brother is afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to see the map of the world, but he can easily draw the direction of the Yellow River. If you don't read a lot of geoscience books and carefully deduce the geography of the country, I am afraid it will be absolutely difficult to do it! On the book of geoscience "Notes on the Book of Water" that has been circulated in the world, there is no page of the world's Kunyu map.
Yang Huaiyu thinks: Just this is enough to make himself admire. Of course, he didn't know that even elementary school students in later generations would know that the Yellow River was in the shape of a few figures!
What's more, Zhong Hao said that using Hehuang as a springboard, the strategy of attacking the western thieves was exactly the same as what his father thought, which had to impress Yang Huaiyu.
Yang Huaiyu sighed: His father was born in a family of generals and is a veteran of 30 years of war, so he can see the importance of opening up Hehuang, which is reasonable. But his eldest brother is only one year older than himself, and his experience should be very limited, how can he think of this strategy, which has to make Yang Huaiyu admire, how inferior he is. It seems that if his eldest brother is handsome, he can only be a general at best!
Yang Huaiyu thought of this, and couldn't help but look at Zhong Hao with admiration: Although his eldest brother is gossipy, he definitely has some real skills!
Zhong Hao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw Yang Huaiyu's eyes full of admiration, didn't he just casually say a strategy to open up the river? As for it?
If you want to attack summer, it is nothing more than to open up the two roads of Hehuang and Hengshan, which should be thought of by many people!
"Don't worship so much, big brother will be proud!"
"Uh......" Yang Huaiyu was a little speechless, he found that his eldest brother was quite thick-skinned.
"In fact, the strategy of Hengshan and the development of Hehuang cannot simply compare which way is easier to implement, the key lies in execution." Although Zhong Hao felt that if the development of Hehuang was well executed, it would be easier than attacking Hengshan, and he would be able to get twice the result with half the effort, but in fact, in the end, the Great Song Dynasty still achieved results on the road of attacking Hengshan.
Decades later, in the fourth year of Zhenghe, the Song army under the leadership of Tong Guan and Chongshi Dao, defeated the Western Xia army in the ancient bone dragon, and occupied the initiative in the Hengshan area, and in the first year of Xuanhe, the Great Song Dynasty exhausted the land of Hengshan in the Western Xia, and the Western Xia lost the Hengshan barrier, and the Xingling area was directly exposed to the attack of the Great Song Dynasty, facing the danger of losing the country, and the Western Xia was forced to submit to the Song Dynasty. If it weren't for the subsequent Jingkang Change, Western Xia might have been completely pacified by the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, this cannot be said that the strategy of opening up Hehuang is not good, but when this strategy is implemented, it involves too many conflicts of interest, and it has not been better implemented in the struggle between the old and new parties.
"Yes, although the younger brother also thinks that it is easier for the eldest brother to attack the western thieves from Hehuang, but I am afraid that even if it is implemented, the heads of all walks of life in Shaanxi are in charge, and if we want to make meritorious contributions in the land of Linfu, we have to work hard in Hengshan!"
Zhong Hao nodded in agreement. Indeed, if we really want to promote the strategy of opening up Hehuang, I am afraid that we must mainly rely on the military and political leaders from all walks of life in Shaanxi to promote it.
Speaking of Hengshan, Yang Huaiyu suddenly remembered that he had just learned another thing. This matter is related to the name Hengshan, but it has nothing to do with the Xixia people, but the matter of the Tiannan region, and he said to Zhong Hao at the moment: "Does the eldest brother know?" Nong Zhigao, the barbarian leader of Guangyuan Prefecture in Tiannan, led 7,000 troops to rebel in early April. This thief has now broken through the Hengshan Cottage on the east bank of the Youjiang River, and is still known as the 'Southern Heavenly Kingdom', and now the court is shaking! ”
Zhong Hao also knows: Yang Huaiyu's Hengshanzhai has nothing to do with Hengshan on the border of Song and Xia, but is located in the Great Song Dynasty Guangnan West Road is located on the east bank of the Youjiang River in an important town, is the Tiannan region to the Central Plains and Guangnan West Road, and even to Dali, Jiaozhi and other places of the transportation hub, the Great Song Dynasty has a heavy army here, responsible for the defense of the vast area on the east bank of the Youjiang River, Hengshanzhai was broken, causing a great shock in the Great Song Dynasty.
It is now the end of April, and it has been almost a month since Nong Zhigao's rebellion, and many people have already known about this matter. However, Zhong Hao's news in Jingqiang Village is relatively closed, and only from the end of each month, Fu Bi has a copy to send a copy to the imperial court to send a report to the palace to send a handsome division, you can understand the major events of the Great Song Dynasty. When Zhong Hao came to Fuzhou, this month's Di Bao had not yet arrived in Jingqiang Village, so he didn't know at this time.
The Yang family is a veteran general, and their hometown is in Tokyo, so they are naturally well-informed, and the affairs of the Great Song Dynasty will naturally be known soon.
Nong Zhigao's rebellion Zhong Hao came from later generations, so he naturally knew that this was a relatively famous event in the history of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that no one mentioned it and forgot about it. After listening to Yang Huaiyu's words, I remembered this.
Nong Zhigao, as the leader of an ethnic minority in the border area between the Great Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi, struggled between the Great Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi, in fact, he had also had trouble before, not only creating the rebellion of Jiaozhi, but also attacking the Great Song Dynasty.
However, the reason why this time it is famous in history is because Nong Zhigao has made things big this time. Zhong Hao estimated that in a few days, Nong Zhigao captured Yongzhou and changed the name of the country to Da Nanguo, and the news of officially becoming the emperor would follow. Splitting the soil and claiming the emperor in the land of the Great Song Dynasty is naturally not allowed in the Great Song Dynasty. The Great Song Dynasty soon sent Di Qing, who was the most capable of fighting, to quell the rebellion, and attacked Kunlun Pass at night, which also achieved Di Qing's prestige.
However, although Zhong Hao knows these things, he can't say them now.
Zhong Hao listened to Yang Huaiyu's words, and just said casually: "Nong Zhigao is a thief, I'm afraid it won't be able to become any climate!" ”
Yang Huaiyu muttered: "It is estimated that the Southern Barbarians are not good at fighting, I am afraid that they will not be able to make much waves!" Alas, it would be nice if it really stirred up a big storm. ”
"Ah...... Where did Zhong Rong say this? Zhong Hao couldn't help but ask strangely. (To be continued.) )
