"Shimizuzawa, there might be a problem there. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info.”

Lin Zhao frowned suddenly, and asked, "Qing Shui Ze, what kind of place is that?" ”

"A large lake near Bozhou, but in connection with the Yellow River flowing eastward, could have been used as a flood distribution area, but it doesn't seem to be being used." Li Cheng explained: "In fact, that area is very chaotic now, and it does not necessarily belong to the jurisdiction of Bozhou, but because of the flooding of the Yellow River, it is constantly diverted, so the administrative division of Hebei Road is relatively chaotic, and it is temporarily under the control of Bozhou." ”

This is understandable, Hebei Road is about to become a no-man's land, some places are sparsely populated, cities, houses, and land are often destroyed in floods, and some prefectures and counties have long existed in name only. Magistrates were either killed or dismissed, and some were reluctant to go even if they were appointed.

To be honest, Hebei Road is thankless at the moment, and not many people are willing to go. Either it was forced or had another purpose, so that there was a lack of officials in Hebei Road, and some temporary borderless lands could only be temporarily assigned to the nearby state and county yamen to manage.

Lin Zhao asked, "What is the situation with Qing Shui Ze?" "Obviously that's the problem.

"I heard that some people surrounded the lake to make fields, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land in it......

"Surrounding the lake and creating fields?" Lin Zhao hesitated for a moment, this was very common in later generations. For example, Dongting Lake in the Yangtze River basin is very serious in the case of enclosing the lake for farming, and the lake surface has shrunk a lot. It is precisely because of this that the storage capacity of Dongting Lake has declined, and the Yangtze River has a lot to do with flooding.

It's just that generally speaking, the cultivation of land around lakes mainly occurs in the south, but I didn't expect the north to do the same? In particular, the ecology of the Yellow River basin is too fragile, and the lakes along the Yellow River are very important and undertake the important task of flood distribution, regulation and storage. In this case, someone actually surrounded the lake to create fields? However, I have to admit that the silt left behind after the flooding of the Yellow River, the land of the lake is very fertile, and the water source is good, so it must be a first-class fertile land.

It is not surprising that some people are tempted, but as a result, the lake loses its ability to divert and store floodwater. The breach of the Yellow River is not without this reason. Therefore, the flooding of the Yellow River is a natural disaster, and it is also [***], which is not false at all.

But the result was even more terrible than Lin Zhao imagined, Li continued: "I heard that in order to protect Qingshuize, someone once built a cofferdam in the river, resulting in the poor flow of the Yellow River, and even a backwater ......"

Backwater?

As soon as he heard this word, Lin Zhao suddenly chuckled in his heart. After the construction of the cofferdam, the water level of the Yellow River will inevitably rise, the water flow will not be smooth, and the flood water cannot be eliminated in time, and the pressure on the Yellow River embankment will naturally be greater for a long time. In particular, the backflow makes the water level higher and the pressure is higher upstream.

In this case, where the terrain is the lowest and the embankment is the least strong, it is easy to burst. There is no doubt that the Daimyo's house was shot.

The dividing point between the north and east streams of the Yellow River is upstream of the Daimyofu, and a very important reason why it flows north is that it has low terrain. The embankment built in Xining's second year is not very strong in itself, the pressure increases, the embankment has been soaked for a long time, and the water flows to a low place, and the breach must be here.

Sure enough, although the breach of the Yellow River in the Daimyofu was due to the weather, it was also caused by human causes. Shimizu Ze, who is so bold to enclose the lake and create fields? The cofferdam in the Yellow River and who ate the gall of the ambitious leopard? I don't know how thick the sky is? These people are hateful.

Han Qi is just as hateful! If this is the case, then his character and the role he played in this matter are very dishonorable. As the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road, it is impossible for him not to know such a big thing. Then, after the incident, nothing was mentioned, and the cause of the Yellow River burst was completely blamed on the natural disaster.

Want to fool the past? Hum!

"Li Cheng, let people stare over there, estimating that someone should destroy the evidence. We have to speed up our actions, and if we can get there already in time, it will be best to catch the thief and get dirty. ”

"Yes!"

When the Bright Moon Sect was operating at full capacity, Lin Zhao's itinerary on his side must also be accelerated. It's just that the canal is not in a hurry, and it is already the fastest to go downstream. Taking advantage of this rare time, Lin Zhao relaxed a little, and it was not at all ** to be accompanied by Mu Sihong all the way.

The boat on the river reminded Mu Sihong of the first time she met Lin Zhao on the Qinhuai River and the feeling of boating on the West Lake, as if she had a feeling of revisiting her hometown, so unhappy. Bai Yueli enjoys the scenery on both sides of the strait, and the love lingers at night, Mu Sihong is now thinking about the child, so she tries her best to cooperate.

Under Chai Minyan's conditioning and the experience of the northwest, Lin Zhao's body is getting better and better, and he is in his youth, so the demand is naturally very strong. In Ping, because of his pity for the fragrance and the heart of the jade, Lin Zhao has always had reservations, and he is not very happy.

I thought that I would sleep together, and the familiarity between the ladies was not so high, so it was not very convenient for the time being. Unexpectedly, when she was away and sailed on the river, Mu Sihong's extraordinary effort was obedient to Lin Zhao, and Lin Zhao, who was waiting, was comfortable.

It is naturally best for the husband to be satisfied, even if it is harder, Mu Sihong has no complaints. I just thought that my husband had worked so hard to sow seeds, even if he sowed widely and harvested thinly, he would have a harvest for himself.

In this way, when they arrived near Juyeze and Liangshanbo, they also abandoned the boat and stepped ashore. At this time, there were no 36 giant thieves in Jingdong, and there were no heroes in Liangshan, so this land was still deserted. Next, they had to cross the Beiqing River, go north to Bozhou, and go to Qingshuize to see and understand.

The first step is well underway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lin Zhao was not the only one who wanted to cross the river, there were also people on the river in the north of the Yellow River who wanted to cross the river.

One goes north, one goes south!

Since the Yellow River broke and was diverted to the north, it was no longer exclusive to the Song Dynasty. To be precise, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River was an "international river".

It originated in the territory of Tibet, flowed upstream through the Western Xia, and then entered the territory of the Song Dynasty. Since it was diverted to the north, the most downstream section became the boundary river between Song and Liao.

A Yellow River flowed through four "countries", but the only one that caused the disaster was the Song Dynasty. However, what is associated with the water of the Yellow River is not as simple as the Song Dynasty.

The Liao State was also affected.

Although it is only a little bit of the river, but after all, the Yellow River is next to the land of Liao, so it is logical for Liaoguo to participate in matters related to the Yellow River, at least the Liaos themselves think so. On the one hand, there are almost insignificant disasters, and on the other hand, there are military considerations.

It is self-evident what impact the northern flow of the Yellow River had on the Tangbo excavated by the Song Dynasty, and the people of the Song Dynasty could see it, and they were very worried, and the people of the Liao Dynasty naturally saw it. Truth be told, they're happy to see it. Although it is not necessarily possible to conquer the Song Dynasty at the moment, it is always good that the border defense force of the Song Dynasty is weaker, and it is much easier if you really want to go south.

The excavation of Tangbo did cause some trouble to the Khitan cavalry to a certain extent, so the gradual siltation was a good thing. At the same time, the continuous flooding of the Yellow River was a huge internal concern for the Song Dynasty and posed a very serious threat to the Song Dynasty. This could weaken the national strength of the Song Dynasty, so that they did not dare and did not have the strength to be enemies of the Liao State.

To tell the truth, although the Liao State was strong, it was also worried that the people of the Song Dynasty would always be hostile to them, and they had always been worried about their Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. Especially after the rebellion of the imperial uncle and the rebellion of Xiao Hujian, the people of Liao may not be willing to fight. Therefore, for the problem of flooding in the Yellow River, the Liao people have a heart of schadenfreude.

"I heard that the people of the Song Dynasty are going to rule the river again!"

"It's not just thinking about the mud and sand brought by the northern flow of the Yellow River to pave the way for our cavalry."

In Youzhou City, Nanjing, Liao, Yelu Jun and Yelu Yixin are a little concerned about this. Yelujun is sixteen years old (imaginary age), he is already considered to have grown up, and he just married the crown princess this year. In the past two years, Yelujun has often come to Youzhou.

In fact, this is a kind of deployment of Yelu Hongji, although he loves to play, it does not mean that he is confused. After Xiao Hujian's rebellion, he did not dare to leave Shangjing easily, and he had to maintain control of the center. However, it is also necessary to strengthen the deterrence of the locality, but it is inconvenient for him to go, in this case, the crown prince Yelujun becomes his best spokesperson.

In addition to Shangjing, the most important city for Liao is Nanjing Youzhou. and involved such a behemoth enemy as the Song Dynasty, and the frequency of Yelu Jun's visit to Youzhou is also high. This time I went south, and I happened to encounter the flood of the Yellow River, so I have some opinions.

"But I heard that the person who ruled the river this time is Lin Zhao, will there be anything special?" For the name Lin Zhao, Ye Lujun is very familiar with and cares about it.

Yelu Yixin didn't know much about Lin Zhao, and said: "It's not once or twice that the people of the Song Dynasty have ruled the river, but which one has succeeded? Ignore them! ”

"No, this Lin Zhao is different." Ye Lujun did not agree with this, and said worriedly: "Once the Yellow River is well governed, the Song Dynasty will be greatly strengthened, which is definitely not a good thing for my Great Liao, and it seems that we should not completely sit idly by and watch this matter." ”

"Then how does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think he will intervene?" Yelu Yixin asked disappreciatively.

Yelujun was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Uncle Wang, I intend to travel to the Song Dynasty, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Your Highness, this is no joke!" Yelu Yixin suddenly became a little nervous, what are you kidding? The dignified prince of Liao, how can the only son of the Liao lord easily go to the enemy country?

"Uncle Wang, you often say that our biggest enemy is the people of the Song Dynasty. But it won't be easy to defeat them. Yelujun sighed again: "There is a saying in the Song Dynasty: Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles!" If I don't know something about the Song Dynasty, how will I deal with them in the future? ”

Yelujun was a very idealistic and ambitious prince, and it is not surprising that he had these ideas. But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. When Yelu Yixin heard this, his eyes immediately deepened and became much more complicated...... (To be continued.) )
