Chapter 48 Dingjiangyan bursts
Xie family grandson into the palace to read, the concubine married into the Yuzhang palace as a concubine, the adopted daughter into the palace as a nobleman, for a time the government and the opposition were envious of its fire cooking oil potential, flowers in the bloom, Lu Xiuyi also teased Xie Dingyi, "Xie Mansion has a palace concubine again, congratulations." The official here first congratulates Ling Mei on entering the palace to accept the joy. ”
Xie Dingyi frowned, "Where do you dare to be her brother, our family is very honestly afraid, just afraid that it will be a sin if she goes on a business trip, she is always depressed, and she can only smile when she sees Changyi, so I sent Changyi to her side every day to accompany her." ”
I heard that the county lord was unhappy at home, Xie Ling came to Xie Dingyi and scolded a bloody dog, saying that you are idle every day, playing with all kinds of tricks, how can you not be arrogant now, Lao Tzu now instructs, if the county lord is still sad and lost a gram before entering the palace, Lao Tzu will definitely ask you, unload your arms and increase your thighs!
Xie Dingyi was about to cry, and the county lord's sad face was lightened! He was afraid that his father would be afraid of it, so he could only dig out his mind and think about how to make the county lord smile and weigh one gram.
With an idea, Xie Dingyi secretly asked the cook to stir-fry with more oil, and every meal of big fish and meat, racking his brains to see what long meat to eat in the recipe.
When the county lord entered the palace, Xie Dingyi took a look, well, the collarbone is not so obvious, it must not be light, and he can't help but be proud in his heart, great Xie Dingyi!
Fortunately, this bodhisattva entered the palace.
The two were talking, and sent someone to Xuan Lu Xiuyi into the palace, Xie Ding, "You have been working hard recently, and you haven't stopped." ”
Lu Xiuyi changed his official uniform neatly, "It's not Concubine Xie's business, it's Dingjiangyan's matter." ”
Xie Ding rolled his eyes, "Don't I know?" ”
Lu Xiuyi guessed well, it was really a matter of Dingjiangyan.
Since the dam collapsed in August last year, Xiao Yue handed over the Dingjiang weir to the water conservancy envoy Wangbu, and specially approved 100,000 catties of pig iron to be invested in the Dingjiang River to continue the construction of the old project, and the closure was successful in March.
I don't want to break the embankment of the Dingjiang River a few days ago, and the Dingjiangyan was broken, this time the embankment not only flooded the two prefectures of Pingjing in Nanzhao but also flooded the north bank of the Dingjiang River, and the new monarch of the Northern Dynasty Yuan Ke was furious, and sent the general Yuan Heng to attack Pingzhou, Pingzhou fell, and Qin Guang, who was stationed in Yezhou, rushed to Jingzhou overnight to support.
The two states of Pingjing of Nanzhao are located on the north bank of the Dingjiang River, which originally belonged to the territory of the Northern Yan, and the former Emperor Gao sent Wei Bi to guard Yezhou on the south bank, and saw that the opposite Beiyan was really arrogant, and forcibly crossed the river to conquer the two states by surprise, and the two states became the territory of the Southern Dynasties. These two states have the Hengjiang mountain range in the north, the grassland and desert of Rouran in the east, the important checkpoint Yunling Pass in the west, the mighty river surface of the Dingjiang River shrinks abruptly in the Yunling Pass, and divides a tributary to the north through the pass to enter the Beiyan, becoming the important traffic artery of the Beiyan.
These two states do not produce gems, horses, grain, and beautiful women. Knowing that Wei Bi captured these two states, Emperor Gao was happy and sad, happy that the territory of the Southern Dynasty had expanded a little more, and that the recovery of the Central Plains had taken a great step forward, and that these two states were really chicken, and that they could not be imported for the Southern Dynasty and had to be frequently exported by the Southern Dynasty, and the huge military expenditure had several more pieces of paper, and there was Rouran in the east and Northern Yan in the west, which was easy to attack and difficult to defend, which was really a burden.
Probably Beiyan also felt that these two states were a burden, and when he saw that Nanzhao had taken it, he lightened the burden for himself, and he was happy to get rid of it, and Yuan Ye and Yuan Ke didn't think about taking it back, so Pingjing became the territory of Nanzhao.
If the merchants do not pass through Beiyan and then go south to Zhuanyunling Pass to enter Nanzhao, they can only pass through Rouran to Pingjing Erzhou to go down to Nanzhao, and wear Rouran to save nearly half of the distance to Nanzhao, so the merchants are willing to take this road.
There is a disadvantage of this road, it has to pass through the soft desert and grassland.
At the time of Zhao Guozhu, the vigorous development of foreign trade attracted businessmen from many countries in the north to Nanzhao, and a large number of merchants gathered in Pingjing Erzhou, and it became a transportation hub in a few years, and was jokingly called the distribution center and wholesale market of Nanzhao world trade commodities by businessmen.
When the dam was completed, Wang Bu invited Pingjing Erzhou to the military and political state capital down to the common people to watch the inauguration ceremony, he had said with confidence, this dam is strong, can hold up to Yuan Ke's milky boy hugging his grandson is no problem, was invited to watch the dam ceremony of the prince Xiao Zhaozhi took the shovel handed by the guard, symbolically slapped two shovels on the dam, clapped his hands, squinted at Wang Bu, and said coldly, this king does not care about how strong it is, only cares about flooding Beiyan several states.
Wang Bu confidently said that there are at least five states.
Xiao Zhaozhi nodded, that can save 200,000 soldiers and horses, a total of 400,000 to 500,000 silver.
From last year to this year, in response to the central government, the second son allocated 30,000 garrisons to the Wang Bu envoy, and invested 40,000 young and middle-aged laborers in Jingzhou, Pingzhou, a number of silver taels, shovels and other tools, last year it was just repaired, a heavy rain washed away, the second son was very annoyed, Wang Bu had died from time to time, and he never dared to go after the dam was destroyed...... I'm afraid that the second son will skin him.
It was not until it was rebuilt in March that the prince was invited to watch the ceremony by the former deceased prince's mansion with a flattering face.
Dingjiangyan across the Dingjiang River, really magnificent, Xiao Zhao's extreme eyes look far away, the shadow of the opposite bank is longing, the newly planted weeping willows on the dam are full of vitality, spit out the new green, I think that Wangbu can be regarded as a success, and the support of manpower, material and financial resources is not in vain.
After more than two months of rain, Dingjiangyan stood majestically, and Wang Bu was very proud of his works. The water that had been stored for five or six months was blocked by the dam, and from a distance it appeared to be level with the dam level, and the still water flowed deeply.
The Dingjiangyan burst in the middle of the night. There was a loud bang, and before the residents and businessmen living on the shore could react, their noses were choked on the water as soon as their eyes were dark, and they were instantly washed more than ten miles away.
Wang Bu said that he could flood five states, underestimating the power of his masterpiece.
The Dingjiangyan embankment burst flooded a total of 11 states.
Three in the south and eight in the north.
The terrain of the Southern Dynasties is high, except for Pingzhou, Jingzhou Yezhou was only half washed away, and the bones are still alive, and the Northern Dynasties are not optimistic, because the terrain is low and the water is fierce, which directly washes these states into an ocean.
Fortunately, Xiao Zhaozhi was depressed on the 18th day, and did not go to the riverside Huamanlou to socialize, otherwise he would have been washed by the river from Jingzhou in the south to Yunzhou in the north.
Xiao Zhaozhi's anger! Thinking that he hadn't lived to be twenty years old, his wife hadn't married yet, and the Northern Dynasty hadn't yet beaten a state, he was almost drowned in this ghost place, so he immediately rowed a boat in his pajamas and braved the torrential rain and strong winds to go to the office of the Water Conservancy Department in Jingzhou, gritting his teeth to catch Wang Bu and eat him alive.
Wang Bu woke up in the middle of the night to find himself floating from the bedroom in the living room, trembling, the dam collapsed, only for five seconds, he immediately packed up the gold and silver and scratched the wooden board and fled.
This escape escaped to Rouran.
Xiao Zhaozhi pounced, his teeth were about to be crushed, and he clenched his fist to stop the bow of the boat, he ordered, Linjiang Army, save people!
