067, water trapped in Pingyang

Seven and a half years ago, Bo Yi collapsed Dalong Mountain and blocked the course of the Great River, and the water gushing down from the Western Wilderness Plateau was blocked by Dalong Mountain on the south bank of the Great River and Helan Mountain on the north bank, forming a huge dammed lake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The Jinwu Kingdom destroyed the country and the Huandou Department suffered heavy losses, and even more than 200 people from Boyi's own tribe were killed, but it took half a year for the downstream.

This half a year is only an approximate number, and while the tribes seize the time to transfer people and various materials, the left-behind personnel can hold out until after the autumn harvest, and then complete the migration in time with the new grain harvested that year. At the meeting of all the kings of the world convened by Emperor Yao, the emperor of heaven, what all the princes and monarchs should do has already been discussed.

In some matters, Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven of China, may be more worry-free than Shaowu, because he can directly call all the monarchs of the world to discuss, and the rest of the things need to be handled by the monarchs and coordinated with each other. More than 20 monarchs, large and small, who had not implemented the imperial decree and the covenant effectively, had been slaughtered by Bo Yi.

It was at this meeting of the kings that Bo Yi returned the divine bow and was punished to the clan for thinking.

Although Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, seems to be worry-free, but the execution of the decree in this way is definitely not as efficient as in Ba Yuan. Fortunately, there is Chonghua in the center to coordinate, Chong Bo Kun is on the front line to lead the people to control the water, and Dan Zhu replaces Bo Yi to inspect and supervise various places, and his duties are also very clear.

In the half a year that Bo Yi fought for the downstream, in addition to coordinating the affairs of various ministries, the Chonghua people also focused on another thing, that is, to build a new city at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, which is a hundred miles away from the imperial capital Pingyang. This castle was called Bo Castle, and later it was expanded and called Kasaka Castle.

In half a year, of course, it is too late to build a new city outline, but Chonghua does not require that the entire city outline be completely built immediately. In the same way as Shaowu's idea of building a new Yingtian City on Ba Yuan, he first temporarily opened a large camp, transferred all the important materials around it, and then relied on the camp to build as many residences as possible, and then reclaimed the countryside to the periphery.

Built on the gentle slope of the southern foothills of Mt. Nakajo and backed by its towering main peak, this new city is very important. It is bordered by the Great River in the south, which can monitor the water situation at any time, and the Central Plains in the east, which is the core area of China, and to the north, it can also be connected with the Taihang and Wangwu remaining veins, which is convenient to connect with the large areas that cannot be flooded.

Chonghua set up camp according to the plan of building a large city, first sending his father and half-brother to settle here, and then many important tribes in the Central Plains that would be flooded moved their people to the surrounding areas. When the castle was just taking shape, the flood came.

The time for Bo Yi to collapse Dalong Mountain to block the flood is five and a half months to be exact. If all localities follow the orders of Di Yao and Chonghua and start to transfer materials in advance, and immediately after the autumn harvest, all of them will be moved, and the time will be completely in time.

However, like Ba Yuan, there will be all kinds of unexpected situations in the various tribes of China, and some Bojun even lost control of the various branches and clans in the chaos. There are still many people stranded in the flooded area, there are also so-called rogues and rebels, and there are also people who are slow to move, always want to wait and see during the migration, and do not forget to loot the goods left behind by others along the way.

Chongbo Kun loosened the Soil Divine Bead on the Ba Yuan, and more than 10,000 people died downstream. The flood in the lower reaches of the river suddenly came, killing more than 30,000 people on the spot.

If Bo Yi hadn't collapsed Dalong Mountain at the beginning, so many people would have died downstream, even if there were more, there would not be much more. Because at that time, the tribes had already started to move two months ago, and then I heard that there was still half a year to go, and many people had returned. As for those who have not yet moved to safety in time, most of them are disobedient or deliberately waiting and procrastinating.

But in any case, Bo Yi finally bought so much time for the downstream, so that all the ministries in the world had time to make more preparations. The reason why the flood came so quickly was not that the water level of the dammed lake slowly overflowed the passes between the mountains, but that an earthquake suddenly occurred in the area, and several weak parts of the mountain range broke down, and the water suddenly poured down.

In this case, of course, the flood will not go through the original channel, which is quite unexpected. Most of Huandou's villages to the east of Dalong Mountain were washed away by the torrents pouring down from the heights. Even the Boyi tribe was washed away from several villages, losing hundreds of people.

The earthquake caused landslides and floods to pour down the Central Plains, but it was only the beginning of a long suffering for the world. Now, seven years later, the flood shows no sign of receding. Everyone understands that if the amount of water discharged from the river exceeds the amount of water coming from the upstream, the water level will gradually drop.

However, the long rainy days continued, and the water of the rivers could not be discharged in time, so the flood never subsided, but rose and fell with the seasons, and the Central Plains was still a flooded country.

In the past seven years, Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, has been sitting in the city of Pingyang, and Pingyang City is surrounded by water. The flood waters reached the bottom of Binh Duong, reaching the base of the city wall in the summer and retreating for miles in the winter.

Di Yao stayed in Pingyang City and did not leave, of course, he had his considerations. Ba Jun Shaowu sat in Badu, which stabilized the hearts of the people in the entire Ba Yuan, and the Son of Heaven sat in the court, of course, to appease the hearts of all the ministries in the world, so that everyone had the bottom of their hearts.

If the flood really flooded Pingyang City, Di Yao could be transferred at any time by Yunyuan, but it happened to be just a little short, and the flood only spread outside the city. In this case, in order to show Di Yao's attitude of sitting in the imperial capital and surviving the difficulties with the people of various departments, of course, it is not good to leave again.

However, the imperial capital of Pingyang is an isolated city besieged by large waters, and land transportation is cut off, making it inconvenient to communicate with the outside world. Even if all the open spaces in the city and on both sides of the roads were temporarily planted with food, it would not be enough for the people gathered in the city.

Many people gradually migrated to other places on rafts, and even the food, cloth, daily utensils and other materials in the imperial capital were later transported by Chonghua people from Bocheng on rafts, so as to ensure that the daily needs of the Son of Heaven and the magnates in the city and the etiquette were not lacking.

Chonghua was originally responsible for sitting in the court and coordinating the affairs of all the ministries in the world, but it was extremely inconvenient to continue to stay in the imperial capital under such circumstances, so he asked the emperor of heaven for instructions and moved the location of the line to the camp of Zhongtiao Mountain, which was later Bocheng.

After more than seven years of careful construction, a new city has risen from the mountain. Outside the city are large tracts of newly cultivated farmland, and there are many newly built villages, which are located on gentle slopes depending on the topography. The peak of the main peak of the eastern section of Zhongtiao has also been flattened, and it has become a place where Chonghua leads the crowd to watch the water situation.

This thin city has also become the contact center of all the departments in the world, and tens of thousands of people have gathered around it, and Chonghua also ordered people to mine salt wells nearby.

In fact, as early as three years ago, when the city outline was just completed, Chonghua wrote to Emperor Yao, asking the Son of Heaven to move to Bocheng. If Di Yao nodded, Chonghua would build a palace for the Son of Heaven in Bocheng, with specifications equivalent to those in the imperial capital. But Di Yao, out of various considerations, finally refused, which also made many people breathe a sigh of relief.

If Di Yao really did that, it would be equivalent to temporarily moving the capital, and moving the capital to build a palace at this time would be very expensive, and it would not be a good choice. What's more, the situation in the world has gradually spread public discontent.

Now, seven years later, the situation of the people is becoming more and more difficult, the food stocks in the cities have long since been eaten, and the other supplies have almost been exhausted, and almost all the things needed are newly produced.

Chong Bo Kun led the people in various places to control the water on the front line, because the flood is now a seasonal rise and fall, so the main thing is to build embankments and fields in places suitable for reclamation, and first of all, to ensure everyone's survival. Many people died from the floods, and many more died indirectly from injuries and illnesses caused by the fighting.

It became common knowledge in the Shennong era to stay dry and warm, have plenty of food and clean water, and maintain a healthy body. However, on the front line of water control, such conditions are not available, and people continue to fall ill.

It is difficult to recount the long period of time, but since the reign of Emperor Yao, the total population of the various tribes of the world has been slowly increasing, and the number of cities and villages, as well as the scale of the fields cultivated, have also continued to grow. However, this great flood directly led to a major regression.

After a one-time loss of population, it has entered a state of slow negative growth, and more importantly, the living environment is deteriorating day by day. These are unlikely to be fundamentally improved in the short term until the flood waters recede. People's patience is always limited, year after year there is no hope, life becomes more and more difficult, and the accumulated resentment will explode.

For so many years, Chongbokun has been pumping strong men from various departments to the front line to control water, building embankments and tuntians is the heaviest labor, and the mortality rate of injuries and diseases is also the highest. No matter how high his reputation in the past was in the Chinese ministry, he could not withstand such attrition.

In the beginning, the flood was so strong that everyone was able to unite and not complain. However, when the water stabilized and only showed seasonal fluctuations, different voices began to appear. Especially those tribes that were not affected by the flood, they had to set aside territory to settle other tribes affected by the flood, and they also had to be drawn out by Chongbo Kun to control the water, of course, there were complaints.

As for those tribes that have already been affected by the disaster, they have endured so much suffering, and they need to vent their emotions even more. Building embankments on gentle slopes in the face of fluctuating floods is also extremely hard work, and no one can be expected to do their best. Inevitably, there will be lazy and slippery people, and sometimes the levees will be washed away by floods.

Chong Bo Kun also showed a strong side at this time, and he would not tolerate mercy when he ordered to be killed. Since he is the minister of China's water control, Chongbocang must maintain order at such a time, and he must also have absolute authority. He is also one of the four Chinese gods of war, and of course he can't kill.

Chong Bo Kun took the lead, carried a long plow with his bare feet, always stuck to the front line of flood fighting, and worked together with the army and the people, and also won the respect of many people. But on the other hand, not everyone can see what Chong Bo Kun is doing with their own eyes, they can feel the pain more personally, and gradually, there are more and more complaints and accusations against Chong Bo Kun.

The first thing to be criticized for not being effective in water control is, of course, Chongbo, the minister of water control. Whether Chongbokun is really ineffective in controlling the water is another question that is difficult to explain. What would have happened if it had not been Chongbokun, but had been replaced by another person to control the water, or if there had been no Chongbokun at all? Without what really happened, the people could not assume it.

It is a fact that the flood waters have not receded for many years, and the situation is becoming more and more difficult. The complaints and criticisms of Chongbokun are actually just the catharsis of public opinion, and in such a monstrous disaster, public opinion must always find a way to vent.

Not only Chongbo, but also Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, has also suffered a lot of accusations, and even the people in many places are privately discussing that such a disaster from heaven is because the Son of Heaven is immoral. Some people even pointed out that if they wanted to end this disaster, Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, should apologize to Heaven and take the initiative to meditate on others.

I don't know where this rumor came from, and in those days, it was normal for people to think like this. And the reality of the situation, the Son of Heaven Di Yao is sitting in a lonely city, and the imperial capital Pingyang has been besieged by the water, which is really as if he was punished by God.

The accumulation of public grievances inevitably broke out from time to time, and many riots broke out in various places, and there were also conflicts and disputes between various tribes from time to time. Danzhu inspected and supervised all the ministries in the world, and his duty was to pacify the people and quell the riots in a timely manner. However, Danju was unable to meet the wishes and demands of the people of various ministries, not because Danzhu was incompetent, but because it was the reality. Suffering is a necessary experience, and it is impossible for him to solve all problems.

The things that Danzhu can't suppress often go to Chonghua again. When the heads of the ministries came to Bocheng, they all admired Chonghua. Today's Bocheng is an oasis in the desert, a place where people can see new hope in the midst of disasters.

Sometimes the conflicts between the various departments could not be mediated, so they had to use a raft to send them to the emperor of heaven in Pingyang City to quarrel, and Di Yao was also annoyed.

Just recently, Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, made two decisions. First, he called Chonghua to reprimand, and then officially authorized Yu Chonghua to mediate and judge the conflict on behalf of the Son of Heaven. The second decision was to reactivate Bo Yi and let Bo Yi replace Dan Zhu to inspect and supervise all the ministries in the world and quell all kinds of conflicts and riots.

Di Yao wanted to reactivate Boyi, but he probably heard some rumors, mainly about the Son of Heaven losing his virtue and inviting trouble to heaven, and Ying Chan was in the position of others. This kind of discussion may affect the heads of many tribes, and Di Yao does not want the situation to continue to deteriorate, so he wants to send Bo Yi out of the mountain again.

Di Yao's first decision was very supportive of all the monarchs in the world. But the second decision, with the exception of Chongbokun and Danzhu, almost provoked unanimous opposition from the heads of all the ministries. Everyone didn't have a good reason to object, so they could only persuade the Son of Heaven to think about it again, not to make a decision in a hurry, and they also asked Chonghua to dissuade the Son of Heaven.

Chonghua then deliberately rushed to the imperial capital Pingyang to meet the Son of Heaven, expressed his willingness to be the minister of water control, and sent Chongbocang to inspect and supervise all the ministries in the world. What Bo Yi can do, Chong Bo Kun can do the same, there is really no need to suddenly activate Bo Yi at this time, so that all the monarchs in the world are shocked.

Of course, Di Yao did not accept Chonghua's suggestion, although he said that he would think again, but he obviously had made up his mind. The imperial decree of the Son of Heaven has not yet been officially announced, but everyone already knows Di Yao's plans, and many people feel a little uneasy. (To be continued.) )
