405th excavation of the Yellow River embankment 1
This time, Zhao Xu sent three very heavy Qincha.
These three people are also Cai Dao's acquaintances - the imperial doctor, his surname is Tian, Di'an's father Di Yong, and Zeng Zhao.
One article and one martial arts match, and also put on an imperial doctor.
It seems that the little emperor is really angry, and this time he can't allow Cai Dao to refuse his edict again.
The official position of the imperial doctor may not be high, but it also eliminates the excuse for them to hide here and watch the play under the pretext of illness.
However, the little emperor is destined to end in disappointment this time.
Because when these three Qincha arrived at Baiyun Temple, they did bring Zhang Dian and the Cai brothers back to the capital, but that Luo Guozi actually slipped down the mountain ten days in advance like an unknown prophet.
When he left, Cai Dao actually said that he was going to travel all over the world.
Not to mention how angry the little emperor was after hearing the news, but the three 'Qincha' who went there this time were all a little unhappy in their hearts.
Hearing the news, Zhao Xu held back his anger, soothed the three of them, and did not ask them the reason for leaving Beijing, and immediately prepared to appoint Zhang Dian to replace Lu Dafang's position, and Cai Jing to take over Lu Huiqing's position.
However, at this moment, Di Yong suddenly handed Zhao Xu a letter.
Zhao Xu looked at the signature on the envelope, and he was a little puzzled.
This letter was written by Cai Dao to the little emperor.
Since this Luo Guozi has rejected his edict twice in a row with various circumstances, it means that he doesn't want to see him now.
However, why did this Luo Guozi write this letter to himself?
What's more, Cai Jing is his uncle, and Cai Bian is his father.
So, why didn't he give this letter to his two relatives, not to Zeng Zhao and Tian, who were good friends with him, but to Di Yong, an irrelevant general?
Besides, who gave this letter to Di Yong?
Cai Dao's move is very intriguing!
Zhang Dan, Cai Jing, Cai Bian, and Zeng Zhao all frowned secretly after seeing Di Yong's move.
However, Zhao Xu was not in a hurry, he had already guessed that in fact, without asking, even Di Yong, who was smiling bitterly in front of him and handed the letter to him, had never seen that Luo Guozi. After he wants to return to the palace, after seeing what this bold kid who refused to enter the palace twice said, will he easily forgive him if he is so bold?
……
At this time, where did Cai Dao go?
Naturally, I don't really have to go to the mountains and rivers!
He went down the mountain this time, firstly, to avoid the little trick of the little emperor who wanted to recruit him into Bianliang City, and secondly, to personally supervise and carry out a fatal task - digging the Yellow River embankment.
Later generations of Chinese people are accustomed to hearing a word - Hongfeng, and after they hear this word, they often associate it with the mighty Yangtze River. However, the Yellow River also has flood peaks, and due to the era of the Great Song Dynasty, the flooding of the Yellow River and the bursting of embankments have become the norm.
On the one hand, it is because of the over-exploitation of the Guanzhong area in the Han and Tang dynasties, which caused a large amount of soil erosion on the Loess Plateau.
On the other hand, due to the establishment of the Western Xia Kingdom, this semi-peasant and semi-nomadic people still cultivated land in the Yellow River, which further deepened the soil erosion on the left bank of the Yellow River.
Of course, it is necessary to allow the Yellow River to burst its banks but to spread a small area, to minimize the number of people who suffer, and to be able to plug the gap that opened the Yellow River embankment immediately after the disaster.
Cai Dao's move was not like Chang Kaishen's blowing up the entrance of the garden, causing the displacement of millions of people in Henan, Shandong and other places, and causing heavy casualties.
Between April and July of the seventh year of Yuanyou, the heavy rain fell so hard that from Luoyang, it can be said that the Yellow River was in an extremely dangerous situation everywhere, and every embankment could burst at any time.
In this case, even if Cai Dao does not do it, the knowledgeable officials in Bianliang City will also suggest it, and those families on both sides of the Yellow River will definitely secretly dig embankments elsewhere in order to protect their harvest this year, so as to alleviate the threat of the Yellow River to their own land. There are many families who have the ability and courage to do this, but it is definitely not impossible.
For example, the Han family in Xiangzhou, several of Han Qi's sons have this courage and guts.
Cai Dao's chosen goal this time was to dig a dam near Xiangzhou and let the flood peak on the Yellow River vent from this place, which would not only reduce the pressure of the Yellow River on other places, but also protect the city of Bianliang.
In fact, Cai Dao is also a little afraid, with his own chaotic entry, the flapping wings of his little butterfly have more and more influence on the original historical trajectory, and the historical trajectory of people and things has been changed too much. He himself did not dare to guarantee that the very serious incident of seizing Huai into the sea in the Jin Dynasty would not have happened under the rule of Zhao Xu in the Great Song Dynasty.
You must know that Zhang Xuan and they have just returned to Beijing for the second time this year, even if Zhao Xu did not listen to his opinion and immediately appointed them to official positions, but after all, they were not familiar with their subordinates at the beginning of their tenure. However, the extremely severe situation caused by the heavy rain did not give Zhang Dian, Cai Jing and Cai Bian no time for them to adapt to their new official positions, but they ran in with their own subordinates.
Moreover, at this time, who is willing to easily take on the extremely difficult task of flood fighting and disaster relief?
The two brothers, Cai Jing and Cai Bian, are very good at forbearance, so Cai Dao is not sure that the two of them will take over this task, and Zhang Dian has this ability, this responsibility, and this courage, but the only thing he lacks now is time.
Therefore, Cai Daocai took the initiative to use the power in his hands to take over this task that hurt the heavens and the peace.
The current situation is that Cai Dao himself has no way to achieve zero casualties after taking the initiative to open the Yellow River embankment.
Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven.
Therefore, Cai Dao mobilized all the minions in the Taihang Mountain Range, Luliang Mountain Range, and Zhongtiao Mountain Range that could be mobilized, and a small part of the elite was to repel the Xiang army and the Han family's berm team that guarded the embankment for the Han family, and blow up the embankment.
The others took advantage of this short few days, either persuasion, or coercion and inducement, to transfer all the people near the broken embankment selected by Cai Dao. Cai Dao gave them a death order, and there were three things to pay attention to in the process of migration.
First, the people who were relocated were only allowed to carry money and soft goods, and small livestock such as pots and pots, pigs and chickens were resolutely not allowed to be brought on the road. When they heard this, none of the obedient minions below laughed.
Since Cai Dao entered Taihang Village, among the three mountain ranges, every minion in each cottage has all been screened, and if they are taken captive into the cottage, those who are willing to go home will be given the equivalent of silver as compensation in the cottage, and let them go down the mountain and return home. It can be said that in these three mountain ranges today, all the minions in the cottage are resources left in the cottage.
However, there are exceptions, and that is the women.
Cai Dao didn't ask their opinions at all, even if some women heard that the people in the cottage were being dismissed and plundered up the mountain, and they also made trouble with the owner of the village, but Cai Dao still left these poor women on the mountain, because, he knew that even if these women were regarded as treasures before, once they fell into the den of thieves, even if they encountered the bloody plot in it, they kept their reputation.
But when they go back like this, will their parents believe it?
Will their relatives and friends believe it?
Even if these relatives believe it, can these relatives and themselves withstand the invasion of gossip from the outside world?
Throw plenty of dirt and some will be sure to stick!
Even his own biological mother chose to flee after hearing rumors repeatedly, not to mention the extremely low status of a woman in this era?
It's easy to go up, hard to go down!
Men can also make up an excuse to justify themselves. But after the women of this era go back, they are basically a dead end. Unless, their parents are willing to live incognito and move to a foreign land for the sake of their daughter.
But there is not much blood in real life, and there are almost no women who have been taken captive and gone up the mountain who can really keep their reputation.
Even if Cai Dao went to Taihang Village, he himself had no way to completely prevent such a situation from happening in the cottage he was in, let alone other cottages?
Second, to use force to suppress all those who dare to interfere with this work.
In the course of the operation, there will definitely be people who stand up and try to obstruct Cai Dao's operation.
The people of the Han family have a large army to stop it, and in a small area, these little minions and their leaders will deal with it themselves
If a few scoundrels from the township come out to disturb this work, those who can be knocked out and taken away will be knocked out and taken away, and if the other party takes advantage of their large number and hurts his own brothers, there is no need to be polite to them. Immediately relieve the brothers in the vicinity, break up the ranks of these people, and bring back the wounded to do hard labor, the coal mines in the Taihang Mountains are very much in need of these strong laborers.
Of course, Cai Dao also gave orders again and again, and this time the action was mainly based on persuasion. For those who are stubbornly unwilling to leave home, they should also be treated differently, those who are not willing to leave home at all can be persuaded, but the number of persuasions is not more than three times, and those who do not leave home because they are reluctant to throw away things, Cai Dao promised that they could give the same amount of money as compensation, and gave ten big money on the spot, presumably these people will definitely agree.
In a word, those who are willing to listen take the money and leave, and those who do not listen to persuasion will immediately abandon it.
