In fact, the reason why Ouyang Xiu's proposal sank into the sea had a lot to do with his movement against the tide.

Looking at the previous Jia Changchao's 'restoration of the old way's method, or Li Zhongchang's 'river into the six towers method', it was actually just a dispute of methods, but the purpose was very clear: that is, to restore the eastward flow of the Yellow River.

Ouyang Xiu said, you are all tossing blindly, the reason why the Yellow River was diverted is because the original river channel was too high silted up, and the water flowed to a lower place, so it would be changed to a northward flow.

In fact, everyone knows that his words are not wrong at all. The problem is that in the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River was never just a matter of people's livelihood, but a matter of national defense.

In the Five Dynasties, Shi Jingjiao of the dog day cut the sixteen states of Youyun to the Khitan, and the Central Plains Dynasty lost the Great Wall and the Yanshan barrier. As a result, after the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Hebei Plain was almost undefendable, and the Khitan iron cavalry could come and go freely.

After the failure of the Yongxi Northern Expedition and the loss of the founding elite, the Northern Song Dynasty completely gave up the hope of recovering the lost territory, and the national strategy changed from offensive to all-round defense.

After the alliance between the Song and Liao, the Song and Liao countries took the Baigou River as the border between the Song and Liao countries, that is, the so-called 'boundary river', and agreed to stop fighting and no longer take any hostile acts.

However, who dares to pin their safety on a letter of alliance? In order to resist the Liao army's re-attack, in addition to hoarding heavy troops on the Hebei Road, the Song Dynasty also took advantage of the terrain of Hebei's natural ponds, hoping to create a defensive position that could not be sailed in depth and shallow in vain. In order to conceal this military purpose, it is openly stated that the ...... of paddy fields is being developed.

After decades of painstaking management, on the Song-Liao border, there was finally a piece of Tangbo defense belt from the Baigou River to the south to Cangzhou, from the foothills of the Taihang Mountains to the east to the sea, more than 300 miles from east to west, and more than 80 miles from north to south.

With this semi-man-made defensive belt, the Song Dynasty was able to concentrate its forces on the western defense, which was a great feeling.

Nature always favors the brave, and this outright turtle policy was mercilessly mocked by the Creator, and the Yellow River was diverted twice in more than a decade, so that the great river went east to the north, and entered the sea from the boundary river. The Tangbo defense line that the Great Song Dynasty was proud of suddenly became a joke.

The hundreds of millions of cubic meters of sediment brought by the Yellow River can easily bury those ponds with a depth of six or seven feet, and the army can walk on the ground. In the wet season, it is feasible to ship large ships, and the danger of pond berthing is no longer there.

What makes the people of the Song Dynasty even more anxious is that the Yellow River has changed from an inland river to a boundary river shared by the two countries, if it is allowed to divert to the north and enter the sea from the territory of Liao, then the Song Dynasty's last reliance on the Yellow River will be completely lost.

Therefore, the emperor and the ministers knew that they were going against the trend and fighting against nature, but they still insisted on restoring the Yellow River to its original course.

Is this bravery? No, that's exactly what cowardice is all about. This practice of giving way to the military was the evil result of the Song Dynasty's successive emperors' emphasis on literature and military suppression, and the self-righteous civil officials preferred to pin the safety of the country on some ponds rather than trust their own generals and troops.

But what is the result? History has long told us the answer: those who rely on natural dangers for passive defense can only paralyze themselves and cannot block the enemy. Thousands of miles of national borders, where can the enemy not find a breakthrough point, why do you have to step on your muddy pond?

The national strength and people's hearts of the Northern Song Dynasty are also in the 'against the sky to return to the river and fail again and again, in the middle, was consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight, the entire Hebei Road has also become a no-man's land, until the Jin soldiers invaded and drove straight in, the prosperous Northern Song Dynasty, it collapsed without ......resistance.

The first attempt of the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers to return to the river began from the Liuta River. In Chen Ke's original time and space, on the night of the official completion, the river swelled and could not be contained. Not long after the Shanghu Junction was closed, tens of thousands of soldiers and soldiers had no time to withdraw from the embankment, and they collapsed again.......

Not only were several states downstream flooded, but even the land of Gyeonggi upstream, which was flooded back, flooded the Gyeongshi, and lost countless ...... of characters.

===========================================================================

Waking up from the nightmare, Chen Ke's eyes widened, feeling that his body was sticky and uncomfortable, and when he touched it, he found that he was sweating profusely.

'Damn it! , Chen Ke gasped: 'How could I remember this? , He has been in this world for more than ten years, and the memories of his previous life have basically disappeared, and he rarely thinks about what history was originally like. But after seeing Ouyang Xiu's "On the Third Form of the Cultivation River" in the Di newspaper, the upcoming 'Difficulty of the Six Pagoda River' was like a nightmare, and it often appeared in his mind.

As the completion date drew nearer, the nightmares he suffered from became more and more severe, so that from the first day he entered Beijing, he did not sleep until dawn.

However, even Ouyang Xiu was ignored by the high-ranking officials and ministers; What use could he have for such an insignificant young man?

Having said that, I can't help but think about it, is there a way to stop the occurrence of the tragic pin bubble e feather heart river gap: the occurrence of the concave drama, the biggest problem is that until the moment the sky collapses, no one can prove that the river enters the six towers, which is wrong, and it is impossible to defeat the enemy who has an absolute advantage from the frontal battlefield.

Only the sword went off the rails...... Chen Ke couldn't help but sigh secretly, this was exactly what Ouyang Xiu was not good at.

The king of the Great Song Dynasty quarrel, only on the battlefield of righteousness and brightness, can exert combat effectiveness, if you talk about conspiracy and trickery, you can really be pitted by others and there is no scum left.

After thinking about it and having no way out, he lay back on the bed in frustration: 'Do my, you can't drown me horizontally and vertically, why don't the emperor rush the eunuch ......?"

After a sleepless night, the next day he was naturally in a state of flux, and the brothers noticed his abnormality and asked him what was wrong with him?

It's useless to tell them, it will only make them worry too, so Chen Ke just smiled and said: "Xu is not accustomed to water and soil, and his body is not very refreshing, just adapt to it for a while." ”

"Then don't go out today, and stay at home." Song Duanping said with concern: "The days are long, and I will play when my body is better." "Originally, I made an appointment, and today, Ouyang Xiu's sons will take them to visit the playing places in Bianliang City.

"It's fine." Chen Ke had a lawsuit, but he did not have Youxing.

So after breakfast, everyone went out to meet Ouyang Fa, Wulang said that he wanted to stay with him, but he was driven away by Chen Ke, and he was about to be quiet, with you a big black man?

After the family was gone, Chen Ke moved a bamboo chair and sat in the patio to bask in the sun. After thinking about the inexplicable Liuta River for a while, I thought about the poor little prince's ......, the spare tire is not sad, but the spare tire born as a spare tire is really speechless, God is going to play people to death.

Think about yourself again, others don't know the future, live a relaxed life, and you also want to forget the memories of your past life. This kind of pain that sees the tragedy about to happen, but is powerless, is really sympathetic to the little prince Zhao Zongji,...

'I should go and see him,' Chen Ke stood up and said secretly: 'After coming to the capital for so many days, he didn't even say hello, and he must be even more uncomfortable when he knows." , As for what Ouyang Xiu ordered, he left it all behind......

If you think of it, you will do it, this is his character, so he washed his face indiscriminately, changed into clean clothes, and went to the street to find a helper, and asked him to take him to the palace of Beihai County.

The palace of Beihai County is in the inner city, after Taixue, across the Longjin Bridge, through the Suzaku Gate, the gate is on the Kaiyu Street, next to the Jingling West Palace.

After sending the idle people away, Chen Ke looked at the pair of mighty and majestic stone lions in front of the palace, and sighed secretly: "But it's a good thing" Then he took out a letter from his arms and said to the guard who had noticed him a long time ago: "You, come here." ”

The so-called seven-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the guard in front of the palace, is naturally also stylish, listening to Chen Ke calling himself like a puppy, he crooked his nose angrily. But he couldn't figure out the details of the other party, so he had to say with a straight face: "What are you doing?" ”

"Give this to your second son." Chen Ke threw the letter into the guard's arms and said, "I'll wait for him in the teahouse opposite." Just wait for a cup of tea, and I'll leave when I'm done. With that, he walked away with a loud voice.

"Who are you...... the guard was so angry by his posture that he was holding up, looked at Chen Ke's back, and muttered in a low voice: "Where do you think this is?" He was illiterate, so he handed the letter to the man next to him: "Look what is written?" ”

"Brother Zhong Fang personally opened, and the younger brother Zongji was stunned." The man read word by word.

"Do you want to listen to him?" The guard said with wide eyes.

"What do you say?" The person on the side glared at him and said, "The payment is the name of our second son!" ”

============================================================================

Chen Ke entered the teahouse opposite the palace and asked for a single room on the second floor.

It is said to be a single room, that is, separated by a screen, although you can't see the guests next door, but you can't miss a word of what you say.

Chen Ke casually asked for a pot of tea and a few refreshments, and asked Dr. Tea to serve a cup of white water, and chewed a snack with white water...... I didn't eat properly in the morning, but now I feel hungry.

While eating, he listened to the people next door talking and laughing with a Kyoto accent, and it took him a while to get used to it, and Chen Ke could understand what they were saying. After understanding, his brows furrowed, because what they were talking about was Zhao Zongji, the second son of the king of Beihai County.

"What a good young man, but in the past two years he has been mad and ,...

"When it's good, it's like a good person, and when it's bad, it's dementia, and I run after the girl on the street, alas...... What kind of iniquity do you say this has been created? ”
