Bai Ang stood up and immediately voted: "The old minister must live up to his mission and cure this Yellow River water!" ”

Zhu Shou was overjoyed, "Okay! Lord Bai is old and strong, and this prince really admires it! It's up to you to control the water, I hope you are as powerful as Xia Wang Dayu. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The minister will not live up to the trust of His Royal Highness the Prince! Just leave it to the minister! Bai Ang is also a big piece of radical words, full of heartfelt words. This is probably his last job before he is laid off.

Bai Ang, a native of Wujin, Changzhou, Jiangsu. Jinshi in the first year of Tianshun. In the second year of Hongzhi, the Yellow River had the most powerful flood since the founding of the country, when Zhu Youzhu had just succeeded to the throne, and suddenly encountered a flood, which gave him a blow to the head.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but then the ministers told him that the current flood was just the beginning, and if he didn't hurry up to control the flood, I was afraid that the bigger flood would inevitably happen again, and even the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal might be blocked.

It is said that the tomb of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has been endangered, which can frighten Zhu Youzhu and endanger his ancestors, so wouldn't it endanger the entire Ming Dynasty next, so Zhu Youzhu issued an order to let people control the water, this is a chore, who dares to take it? The Chinese military officials of the DPRK who have the ability to control the water do not dare to come forward.

The critical moment was when Bai Ang, who was the head of the household department at that time, stepped forward and was willing to go to control the water. Zhu Youzhu was moved, and he also praised Bai Ang's courage. In fact, at that time, the person who Zhu Youzhu wanted to send was Bai Ang, why the best candidate was him, and it was because of his famous deeds!

First, he is a Qing official! Although Bai Ang is not famous, he is a veritable Qing official, and millions of project funds have passed through his hands, without even blinking his eyelids, what is a Qing official? This is the Qing official.

At that time, he built Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial mausoleum in Fengyang, but at that time, there was a local disaster, so he gave advice to the central government and said: The emperor's cemetery is nothing if we repair it shabby, and the remaining silver taels will be used to help the victims!

As soon as these words came out, the ministers of the DPRK and China were very frightened, and this kind of thing was also said? Don't want to live, do you? It's really a big rebellion! It's a big rebellion! But Bai Ang doesn't care, he has long adhered to a belief: the hunger and cold of the common people are more important than the emperor's tomb. He is really a good official who cares about the people, so he has a good reputation among the people.

A person who is not even afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang will certainly not be afraid of floods. So, he's the most suitable. This is one of them.

The second reason is that he used to be a student of Xu Youzhen. Xu Youzhen doesn't have other skills, but he has the talent and ideas to control water. Bai Ang learned the skill of water control from him.

Because of these two reasons, Zhu Youzhu finally decided to send him! After the decision was made, Zhu Youzhu immediately sent him 200,000 people to assist him in controlling the water. Moreover, the governors of Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili provinces must obey Bai Ang's command, and they should give money to power, that is, they can give whatever they want, and the premise is that the Yellow River can be well controlled.

The flood of the Yellow River spread all the way to Kaifeng and Fengqiu Jinglongkou, and many counties were plagued. The Yellow River has always been known as the mother river, but this mother started to go crazy because her six relatives did not recognize her, and she did not even let go of her own children. devouring her suffering children. Countless blood-stained records of the flood were also written. I don't know how many floods have occurred in the Ming Dynasty.

Controlling water is like fighting a war, and it is not simple. It is necessary to mobilize a large amount of manpower and coordinate command. A person who can lead troops to fight may not be able to control water, but a person who can control water must be able to lead troops and be a clean official. Bai Ang once led soldiers to suppress Kou, and when Zhu Shou suppressed Kou, Bai Ang secretly made a lot of efforts, but Zhu Shou didn't know it.

With great ambition and pride, Bai Ang came to the area spread by the flood, and after a trip, he found that the entire Central Plains was almost completely covered by the ocean, and Henan, Shandong, Hebei, Jiangsu and other regions had been buried by the flood.

Even so, Bai Ang did not panic at all. He firmly believes that the water of the Yellow River will eventually flow into the sea, and let him go back wherever it comes from! The key to water control is how to let the water of the Yellow River flow into the sea? Therefore, Bai Ang summed up his water control strategy, which he will use to channel the water of the Yellow River into the sea.

Bai Ang began to control the water, came up with theories and surveyed the terrain, and found a suitable place to build a dam, which place should be repaired, which place should be desilted, and which place should be discharged, all of which needed to be considered repeatedly.

After deciding all this, he began to implement it, first sending people to build a river embankment along Yangwu in Henan Province to prevent the Yellow River from spreading to the north and harming other areas that were not harmed, and at the same time building the river embankment, he also built a dam under the river embankment to ease the water potential.

From Henan to Jiangsu, and then from Jiangsu to Shandong, thousands of large and small divergent Moon Rivers began, like fine and dense network cables, entangled the huge body of the Yellow River beasts. This is a large-scale water conservancy project across the four provinces of the Central Plains, although the project is large, although urgent, but Bai Ang is not afraid! The more difficult and dangerous it is, the more you have to face it! That's what he believes!

Because the project is too big. It took a long time, so he had to finish the work before the rainy season the following year, otherwise all his hard work would be in vain when a new flood season came. What Bai Ang lacks most is time, so he has to hurry!

At the same time as the construction of the embankment, the canal was also dug in the area of the ancient Bianhe River in Suzhou on the south bank of the Yellow River to relieve the pressure of the flood peak, divert the water of the Yellow River into the Bianhe River, and finally connect several waterways on the south bank of the Yellow River by artificial excavation lines, connecting the Bianhe River with the Huai River, and guiding the water of the Yellow River to flow into the sea through the Huai River.

At the same time, he did not dare to slack off in supervising the project, and the officials who violated discipline arrested whoever did it, especially on the sensitive issue of diversion and flood discharge, Bai Ang showed no mercy! In a word, death to those who stand in my way! Kill God when you meet God! Kill the Buddha when you meet the Buddha!

The whole river control project is going very smoothly, but Bai Ang is not easy, he vaguely feels that there seems to be a huge loophole hidden in his seemingly flawless river control plan. Finally, when he came to a place and carefully observed the local water conditions, he found the loophole.

This loophole is Zhang Qiuhe of Shandong!

The Zhangqiu River is connected to the Yellow River in the west and the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the east, and is the hub of the northern waterway transportation of the Ming Dynasty. In the project to divert the Yellow River into the sea that determines the success or failure of water control, it is the most important turning point on the entire road of the Yellow River from Shandong to the Huai River.

At the heart of all water control plans is to allow the Yellow River to flow into the Huai River. This is premised on the premise that by the time the Yellow River enters the Huai River, the flow has been greatly weakened. But what if it's a bigger flood? Once the flood into the Huai River exceeds the bearing capacity of the Huai River, then the banks of the Huai River will inevitably suffer a catastrophe, and the Zhang Qiu River will be the first to burst the embankment, becoming the fuse of the entire Huai River flood.
