Chapter 31 Yu Ren Sikong
readx;? Seeing that Emperor Yao was old and abdicated, and Emperor Shun's position was unstable, he instigated the Gonggong tribe to rebel again and disobey Shun's leadership. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the three seedlings led by the three seedlings in the Jiang, Huai and Jingzhou valleys have been in turmoil many times, and the three seedlings are independent and no longer under the orders of the alliance.
Shun Nai reorganized the army and revitalized the brigade and put down the rebellion of the Gonggong tribe and the Sanmiao tribe. After that, the Gonggong tribe was exiled to Youling in order to change the customs of Beidi, the leader of the Sanmiao, Ludou, and some of the Sanmiao people were exiled to Chongshan in order to change the customs of the Nanban, and most of the Sanmiao were migrated to the Sanwei Mountain in order to change the customs of Xirong. This is where the surname Wei comes from. He exiled Kun, who had failed to control the water, to Yushan in Xuzhou to change the customs of Dongyi. Everyone in the world was satisfied.
Note: This kind of exile is an exile with the tribe, similar to the partition, but the partition is mostly in the hinterland of the Central Plains, while the exile is mostly in the wilderness of the Central Plains. So the wilderness at that time is now all hinterland. Therefore, the so-called Rong Di of each Yi nationality is actually only a regional difference, and there is not much difference in race or even culture. Regional discrimination makes the barbarians yearn for the Central Plains civilization, and being far away from the Central Plains also makes it impossible to master the most advanced technology of the Central Plains, so it gradually loses its civilization characteristics. Coupled with the harsh environment, the fear of life, and the testing of the sustainability of its civilization, a war will make the achievements of civilization go to waste.
At that time, the Central Plains was flooded and boundless, flooding crops, flooding mountains, flooding people's houses, displacing people, and many people had to leave their homes, and the floods brought boundless disasters to the people. Under these circumstances, Emperor Shun was determined to eradicate the flood, so he began to seek out those who could control the flood.
At this time, Yu has grown up, constantly studying his father's water control information, Yu felt that his father did not complete the great cause of water control and left regrets, and hoped that he could complete this great cause, so he heard in the township. Yu is intelligent, witty, hard-working, moral, benevolent, amiable, and credible in his words. His voice is the standard rhythm, and his body is the standard scale, and his voice and body can correct the height of the rhythm and the length of the scale. He is diligent, dignified and serious, and can be called a model of a hundred officials.
Yu's wife and daughter Jiao (born in the Tushan tribe, that is, the Wa clan). "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Yinchu" contains: "Yu Xinggong, see the daughter of Tu Mountain, Yu Wei met and patrolled the southern soil of the province. The daughter of the Tushan clan is to make her concubine treat Yu in the sun of Tushan, and the woman is a song, and the song says: "Hou Ren Xiyi", which is actually the beginning of Nanyin. "The Great Dai Li Ji Imperial Chapter" contains: "Yu married the Tu Shan clan, and the son of the Tu Shan clan was called the Nu Chan clan, and the birth began. "Wu Yue Chunqiu, Yue Wang Wuyu Biography" said: "Yu because of marrying Tu Shan, called the daughter Jiao. βγ Sima Zhen Suoyin: "The "Department Book" says 'Tushan's female name Nuwa', which is Yu's marriage to Tushan's Nuwa. It is also known as "female Jiao" and "female Jiao".
"Tu Mountain" is "Three Tu Mountain", which is 5 kilometers southwest of Song County, Luoyang City. This is the area where the Wa clan lived. Because the "Tushan clan" is a branch of the descendants of the Youwa clan living in Santu Mountain, it is called "Tushan clan" by the place name, and the same is true of the Xiling clan before.
It can be seen that the Yellow Emperor's wife "Ancestor" and Yu's wife "Tu Shan" are both daughters of Youwa. This also shows that the Wa clan and the Yellow Emperor clan have been married for generations.
One day Emperor Shun came to ask for the opinions of the ministers to see who could control the water, and the ministers recommended Yu, they said: "Although Yu is the son of Kun, but his father is much more virtuous and capable, this person is humble, courteous, serious and serious, and his life is very simple." β
In 2310, Emperor Shun summoned Yu. At the same time, he was also received by Emperor Shun's minister Gao Tao (a descendant of the Ge Tian clan).
Emperor Shun said: "Yu!
Yu Baixie said: "The great water is connected with the sky, and the mighty surround the mountain, submerge the hills, and the people are swallowed by the great water, and hunger and cold are imminent.
I plan to cut down trees along the mountain roads as signposts, and to give to the people the birds and beasts that I have acquired along the way, as a reward for their participation in the control of the waters, to dredge the main rivers so that the great waters may flow into the East China Sea, to dredge the stagnant waters of the plains so that all the waters of the plains will flow into the great rivers, and to encourage the people to sow grain and provide them with grain and food. β
Emperor Shun was very satisfied, and Yu was appointed to preside over the full power of water control. Because the manpower and material resources to be used to control the water were no less than a war, he inherited his father's position as a chongbo and was appointed to an important position. Sikong is the winter official of the Yellow Emperor, in charge of engineering construction, and Sikong, one of the three princes of later generations, is not the same. It is equivalent to the Ministry of Industry, but because of the heavy responsibility of water control and lofty status and heavy responsibility, ordinary people do not dare to take over this position. At this time, Yu was only 18 years old. Yu gladly accepted the task. He knew that this was a great responsibility, and he did not dare to slack off. Emperor Shun also sent two virtuous ministers, Boyi (the son of Gaotao, about sixteen years old, who mainly assisted in the development of rivers) and Houji (who was mainly in charge of logistics and agricultural matters), to assist him in his work. Hou Ji has made outstanding achievements in agriculture, and legend has it that he was the ancestor of the Zhou people. He knows the different soils, he knows how to pull weeds, and he knows how to pick good seeds.
At that time, Dayu had just been married for four days, and his wife Tu Shan was a virtuous woman who agreed to her husband's going, and Dayu said goodbye to his beloved wife with tears and embarked on a journey.
After Yu accepted Emperor Shun's order, he arrived with Yi and Houji, and ordered the princes and hundreds of officials to mobilize those sinners who were punished for hard labor to divide and rule the country.
He held the standard rope in his left hand, the rules and rules in his right hand, and also loaded the measuring tools to measure the direction of the four hours to make a rigorous investigation of the main mountains and rivers in the Yellow River Basin. Dayu inspected the eastern part of Hebei, the eastern part of Henan, the western and southern parts of Shandong, and the northern part of the Huai River. Once, they came to the southern suburbs of Luoyang, Henan. There is a high mountain here, which belongs to the remnants of the Qinling Mountains, and continues to the Zhongyue Song Mountain, with peculiar peaks and peaks, like a natural barrier in the east-west direction. There is a natural gap in the middle of the mountain, through which a trickle of water flows gently. He also found that the Longmen Pass was too narrow to pass through the flood season, and that the Yellow River was silted up and the flow of water was not smooth.
In this way, Yu measured the height of the terrain from west to east all the way and set a benchmark.
Yu summed up the lessons of his father's failure to control water, and reformed the water control method to lead the river to control the water, and changed the "blocking" to "dredging", that is, dredging the river and widening the gorge, so that the flood could pass faster. Yu adopted the idea of "water control must be smooth, water is down, and it is led into the sea" and "high places are chiseled, and low places are dredged". At this time, the climate has entered a plateau after the flood, and the drop in sea level is already very obvious. Dayu's channeling is an effective method based on the retreat of seawater.
