The Liuta River plan was undoubtedly a failure, and the Song Dynasty lost a lot of manpower and material resources, and even the workers who built the river embankment did not have time to evacuate, and a breach occurred, and many people drowned. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since then, the Yellow River has continued to ravage the northern part of the river, and its course has changed slightly over time. To the east of the Daimyo's Prefecture, the Yellow River divides into two branches and continues northward, following the route of the first Yellow River diversion, passing through the Yuhe River into the Jiehe River and entering the sea at the Song-Liao junction.

Because the northern flow of the Yellow River had a huge impact on the defense of many ponds in the Liao State, there was always a saying that the northern flow was blocked in the Song Dynasty. It's just that since Li Zhongchang and others failed to control the Yellow River, no one dared to mention the problem of controlling the river for a long time. After all, the lessons of the Liuta River are still vivid, and if you are not sure, how dare you risk the lives of the Great Song Dynasty and many people.

The tributaries of the Yellow River pass through Weizhou, this section is called the Ergu River, the width is 200 Song feet, the Yellow River goes down 130 miles from the Ergu River to the junction of Wei, En, De and Bo four states, called the head of the four realms. In the fifth year of Jiayou, Han Zhen, the transfer envoy of Hebei, suggested that 2,000 young people be sent every year to dredge the Ergu River and introduce the water of the Ergu River into the two rivers of Jin and Chi.

If the excavation of the Ergu River is successful, the Yellow River can flow eastward through Wei and En to the De and Cangzhou prefectures to enter the sea, so that the flow of the Yellow River can be divided into two streams to enter the sea, so as to prevent the danger of river blockage in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and the disaster caused by the poor discharge of the Yellow River, and also to alleviate the flooding caused by the bursting of the Yellow River.

Later, Han Zhen submitted the "Map of the First Two Strands of the Four Realms" to the central government, and the imperial court followed his suggestion to enlist 3,000 soldiers, and completed the project of digging the Ergu River a month later. At this point, the flow of the Yellow River splits into two and enters the sea.

However, the Yellow River is still flowing northward. Therefore, there has been a call within the Song court to block the north flow and completely let the river flow eastward. After all, this is for the sake of national defense, and there are no ponds. Without the Yellow River, Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was directly exposed to the iron hooves of the Liao, so this problem could not be delayed and must be solved as soon as possible.

It's just that the plan to block the North Stream was not completed until the current emperor Zhao Ji succeeded to the throne, the first year of Xining. The river broke in Enzhou, and the land of Hebei was again affected. At that time, the envoys of the Liao State died in Bianjing, so that the Khitan iron cavalry was ready to move, which caused great pressure on the Great Song Dynasty.

After learning from the pain, Emperor Zhao Ji felt that the flood of the Yellow River must be solved as soon as possible. Wang Anshi, the new prime minister, also expressed his support for this. Therefore, we immediately increased investment to harness the Yellow River. The natural solution is to block the north flow and make the river flow east into the sea. In the second year of Xining, a dam was finally built to cut off the northern flow of the Yellow River and allow the Yellow River to flow eastward. The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief, and the flooding of the Yellow River seemed to have finally been resolved.

But only two years have passed. The siltation of the Yellow River is becoming more and more serious, and there are still many dangers on the embankment. If there is no flood, it is fine, but once a major flood is launched, it is really difficult to say whether there will be another breach and diversion.

Unfortunately, the weather did not follow people's wishes, and the overall climate in the Northern Song Dynasty was colder than in later generations, so the rainfall in the Yellow River basin was relatively large. This is also an important reason why flooding in the Yellow River often occurs.

In the fourth year of Xining, there was a drought from the end of spring, and there was no rain, so that the crops on both sides of the Yellow River were greatly affected, showing a trend of reduced production or even no harvest. It's nothing. The money and grain of the Great Song Dynasty have always relied on the southeast, as long as the Jiangnan and Jianghuai harvests and then transport them north through the canals, the problem can be easily solved.

Therefore, the officials and ministers did not take the drought to heart, they were worried about the flood. It is not uncommon for a major drought to be followed by a major flood. Therefore, he instructed Si Tianjian to observe carefully. Although Jian Zheng An Chongning is not good at solar terms and weather observation, he also did his best, gathered many people who are good at joint observation, and came to the conclusion that there is rain in autumn, and the rain may be on the heavy side.

This kind of performance is about skill, and An Chongning also knows that the official family and the Manchu civil and military forces do not want such a result, but they still have to report like this. This is the real precautionary measures, first of all, there may be heavy rain, the imperial court will inevitably be on strict alert, if there is a real flood, you can respond in time to reduce losses. If there had been no flood, the imperial court would have breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced. Even if it is a false positive, the official family will not blame much, after all, there is no loss.

But if there is no rain in autumn, and it will be rainy at that time, then you will not be able to eat and walk away. As soon as something happens, the ministers of the court must blame each other, and someone must come out to take responsibility, and Si Tianjian may be the scapegoat. So it's a good idea to do that.

As soon as the observation results came out, everyone from the emperor Zhao Ji to the civil and military officials were all nervous. In addition to preparing for possible disasters, there is also a faint hope in my heart that it is better not to rain well......

It's a pity that they were disappointed, and they were really hit by An Chongning's crow's mouth, in the middle of June in the middle of summer. The hot and dry weather suddenly began to rain unusually, and it was a long time at once......

So the officials and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military began to worry, and the Yellow River instantly became the number one henchman of the Great Song Dynasty, and all eyes fell on the Yellow River embankment, lest it break again accidentally......

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

Lin Zhao saw the water potential of the Yellow River when he returned to Bianjing, and he didn't stay in Fuzhou for a long time, because he was worried about Meng Ruoying's pregnancy, and it suddenly rained again, and the trip on the road might be blocked, so he left early. Zhe Wenxin understands this very well and does not stop it!

However, after some retention, Lin Zhao was allowed to leave. It happened that the edict from Bianjing to Lin Zhao had arrived, allowing Lin Zhao to return to Bianjing, so he could leave in a bright light.

Of course, Lin Zhao still needs to say hello to Han Jiang, the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road. Lin Zhao specially sent someone to deliver gifts and bid farewell to Han Jiang and the breeder, as well as Liu Changzuo and others. In order to take a shortcut, when returning, Lin Zhao and Zhe Wenxin took Hedong Road. In this way, you can go directly to the southeast, which can save a lot of distance.

Before leaving, although there were Li Cheng and others to escort him, Zhi Kexing didn't seem to be at ease, and specially ordered Ah Chang and others to accompany him. The implication is very clear, in the future, Ah Chang will be the companion of Zhe Wenxin and the escort of the Lin family. What's more special is that Zhe Kexing's youngest daughter Zhe Meifeng has a very close relationship with her aunt Zhe Wenxin, and she even clamored to go to her aunt's house as a guest.

The three- or four-year-old girl was entangled and didn't let go, and she was quite helpless. In the end, Lin Zhao said: "As long as my uncle is relieved, I will take my little niece to live in Bianjing for a while!" ”

"Then it's trouble!" Zhi Kexing is very doting on this woman, so he naturally allows it. With her sister and sister-in-law here, her daughter will definitely not suffer.

Lin Zhao secretly thought in his heart, his uncle Gu Qi's family moved to Bianjing, and the two little guys Dongping and Yan Gu were also three or four years old, and they had many children and playmates, which was better. At the same time, this child can also be regarded as a link between himself and the Fuzhou family.

"Okay, okay, go with my aunt, go with my aunt!" The little girl was not reluctant to leave home, and she was very happy.

Along the way, the little girl is also a pistachio, which is very funny. The trouble is that at night, he will shout that he wants to sleep with his aunt. This made Lin Zhao a little embarrassed, and he had to wait until the little girl fell asleep before he could kiss Fangze.

Watching Zhe Wenxin take care of the children, Lin Zhao quipped: "I don't see it, my Wenxin has the quality of a good wife and mother!" ”

"How can there be ......?"

"Meifeng, you take care of it so well, then our own children will naturally take care of it more properly."

"But it's not ...... yet"

"Maybe it's there today, come, wait for the husband to sow ......"

Lin Zhao had just picked up his gun and was about to start the war, when he suddenly mentioned that the little girl in the middle cried and shouted, "Auntie......"

Zhe Wenxin had no choice but to go to visit, which suddenly made Lin Zhao a little embarrassed......

Along the way, it passed through Jinyang, went south through Pingyang, and crossed the river near Huazhou. As a result, when we arrived at the ferry, the movement slowed down quickly.

There is no other reason, it has been raining for a long time, and the water of the Yellow River has skyrocketed, and the boats on the river are naturally under pressure.

"Husband, why is this river so turbulent, can you still cross the river?"

"I've already sent someone to investigate, it should be okay......" When Lin Zhao replied, his heart was already filled with heavy worry. Looking at this posture, I am afraid that this year's flooding of the Yellow River will be more serious. Especially on rainy days, it was raining all the way from Fuzhou to Huazhou, and their trip was delayed a lot.

In the end, all this rain was collected into the Yellow River, and the water level naturally soared, and the situation was really not optimistic. Although he is currently only the Marquis of Weiyuan, the squire of the military department, but this country has a great relationship with him, so he is naturally very worried.

Soon after, Li Cheng came to report that the ship had been found. And there are the most experienced boatmen, who have chosen a smooth section of the river and can cross the river. Along the way, there were people from the Bright Moon Sect who stood in front of them, and they must have arranged it properly, so Lin Zhao was naturally relieved.

"Son, hurry up and cross the river, the boatman said, if it is two days later, he will never dare to cross the river, but he is afraid that he will ...... then."

"How's the time?"

"There may be a river duel!"

Lin Zhao's mood suddenly had a hint of gloom, and he didn't dare to delay getting on the boat to cross the river immediately. Fortunately, although the water level is high, the optional section of the river is not very turbulent, and the boatman's boating skills are also good, so the crossing is smooth.

When he abandoned the boat and stepped on the shore, he found that there were many people and soldiers on the embankment on the south bank waiting for him, as if he was guarding against the breach of the Yellow River. Not far east of Huazhou is Bianjing, and this section of the embankment naturally cannot tolerate danger......

"The loess embankment is easy to burst after soaking, it would be nice if it could be stronger!" Zhe Wenxin is also deeply worried.

The little girl Zhe Meifeng clapped her hands and said, "Use iron, ah......"

"Silly boy, how can there be so much iron to repair the river embankment?"

The child's words were unscrupulous, Lin Zhao smiled lightly in his ears when he heard it, and then his expression suddenly moved. Iron can't be used, but there are other things that can be as hard as iron! (To be continued.)
