How to plow thousands of miles for the first emperor's cub Section 468
The lobbyist sent in at this time to report that many nobles in Jicheng had accepted the persuasion of the Qin State to surrender, and were ready to set off civil strife in the city and surrender to the Qin army.
Their main requirement was to ensure the safety of the other Yan Kingdom clans except for Yan Wangxi and Yan Prince Dan.
Wang Jian sneered: "Fig leaf." ”
They surrendered for themselves and their families, but when it came to protecting the Yan clan, it was as if they had become loyal vassals.
"Accept their surrender." Wang Jian said lightly.
As he said this, he asked the Qin army to prepare for the siege, just in case.
As for whether these conditions can be implemented after he accepts the surrender conditions of Jicheng, he does not guarantee it.
There is no basis for words, what do you say I promised, what about the evidence?
If the old nobles of the Yan Kingdom are well-behaved and sensible, the King of Qin is very merciful and will not embarrass the old nobles of the Yan Kingdom; If the old nobles of the Yan Kingdom did not follow the laws of Qin, then it would be useless to make any promises.
What does it mean to be a soldier and not get tired of cheating? What do you call Lao Qin? Wang Qian, the old Qin general, combined the two, and didn't take the promise seriously at all.
At the beginning of August, there was civil strife in Jicheng, Yan Wangxi and Yan Prince Dan were killed in the civil strife, and the old nobles of Yan Guo set up Yan Wangxi's nephew as king, opened the city gate, and surrendered to Wang Qian.
Wang Jian easily destroyed another country.
However, although the Yandu Jicheng was captured, many cities in the north of the Yan Kingdom did not immediately return to the Qin State, but had the ambition to stand on their own.
The state of Yan was extremely strong during the reign of King Zhao of Yan, and sent Qin Kai to the north to the east to conquer Donghu and Korea, and included Liaodong in the scope of the Yan state.
The population composition of these areas is relatively complex, and most of the local natives are self-reliant, so when the Yan Kingdom fell, they took the opportunity to stand on their own.
These areas controlled by the Yan State were not lost by the Qin and Han dynasties, but they were lost after the Wei and Jin dynasties.
The map, which had been lit during the Yan Kingdom in BC, was lit up again after the Tang Dynasty's conquest of Goguryeo, and was dimmed again at the end of the Tang Dynasty.
The next time it is lit, it will be the Yuan Dynasty.
Qin Wangzheng will naturally bring the territory originally controlled by Yan State into actual control again, but not now.
Qin Wangzheng briefly stopped his troops, withdrew part of his troops, and ordered Wang Jian to take the remaining Qin army to sweep away the Yan resistance forces that had been captured, and to settle fields on the spot.
Because the Yellow River flood really came.
In early August, the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River flooded; In early September, there was heavy rain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.
Although the dam was strong, and although Zhu Xiang had been prepared for a long time, the Yellow River overflowed the Yellow River embankment, and it could not stop the surging river from raging on both banks.
The canal dug by Zheng Guo played a certain regulating role; Zhu Xiang dredged the tributaries of the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and dug ponds to store water, which also played a certain role in regulation.
But the effect is really weak.
Most of the Yellow River basin has no tributaries, only a solitary main stream of the Yellow River.
During droughts, there is no water source for the Yellow River; When flooding, there is also no place for the Yellow River to regulate its volume.
But it's not human. Because the Yellow River basin generally receives less rainfall and tributaries are scarce, the amount of water in the Yellow River can only be adjusted to a certain extent unless a dam can be built to intercept the Yellow River.
That is the Sanmenxia of later generations.
Now there is no Sanmenxia, and the only way to do this is to dig a dam to discharge the floodwater.
The discharge of floodwaters in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is relatively easy. Because of the military disaster, most of the place has been deserted, and it will not cause too many disasters.
When the flood in the upper reaches of the Yellow River swelled, the Qin state was in a difficult situation.
It was the Kanto region of the Qin State, and it was the most prosperous place in the Qin State.
Agrarian civilization could not lack water, and cities were mostly built along rivers. The place where the flood occurred in the Qin State was the most prosperous place in the Qin State and the place with the most fertile land in the Qin State.
Zhu Xiang traveled all over the eastern part of the Qin State, but did not find a perfect flood discharge site. Wherever it is dug in, large swaths of farmland are flooded.
Qin Wangzheng also came to the banks of the Yellow River when Zhu Xiang saw the flood surge and gave an early warning of the flood of the Yellow River.
Seeing the map of the Yellow River Basin depicted by Zhu Xiang stepping on a few pairs of straw sandals, Qin Wangzheng pondered all night and circled several flood discharge sites.
The Qin army assembled and forcibly expelled the Qin people from the flood discharge area.
Although Qin Wangzheng promised to give compensation, who wants to watch the farmland that is about to be harvested be flooded? Who wants to see their hometown become a flood? Who wants to leave their homeland and work from scratch?
Nobody wants to.
Since the succession of Qin Wangzheng, there was a civil unrest in the country for the first time.
He ordered that the leaders be severely punished, and that accomplices would not be severely punished as long as they surrendered in time.
When many displaced people became prisoners, it was easier for Qin Wangzheng to release the flood, and he would not be constrained.
Therefore, many historical researchers in later generations speculated that Qin Wangzheng acted roughly, probably deliberately.
Zhu Xiang also thought of this possibility, but he didn't ask.
Being a king is like being a general. You can't ask why the generals sent bait to death, so you can't ask why the King of Qin provoked civil unrest.
What's more, the flood discharge was proposed by himself, and the river basin map was presented by himself.
Zhu Xiang inspected the embankment day and night, and held on to the place where Weishui and the Yellow River meet, so as to prevent the Yellow River from breaking through the embankment and endangering Weishui.
If the dam at the junction of Weishui and the Yellow River were breached, it could endanger the Weishui basin, and the Qin state would be more affected.
Qin Wangzheng did not inspect the embankment. He inspected the other grain-producing areas of the Kanto Plain that had been affected by the torrential rains, urging the Qin people to hurry up and take advantage of the short sunny days to harvest and severely punish those who hoarded and lived in strange places.
Everywhere Qin Wangzheng went, there were people rolling to the ground.
Two months of flooding have turned the Yellow River into a dragon raging everywhere.
The land of the Three Jin Dynasty was in the Yellow River Valley, and it was flooded just after it was defeated by the Qin State. As a result, the Qin State violated the peace of heaven and was punished by heaven. Many of the old nobles of the Three Jin Dynasty were ready to move, trying to take the opportunity to rebel against the Qin Dynasty.
Zhang Liang came to Qin Wangzheng's side at this moment.
After the two discussed for a whole day, Zhang Liang led the edict of Qin Wangzheng and left.
New rumors have appeared in the land of the Three Jins.
Do you remember the plague of locusts? When the Qin State resisted the locust plague, the group of high-ranking scholars and doctors said that the Qin State had suffered a curse. Could it be that there are no locust plagues in other countries?
The floods of the Yellow River occur every few years, and the Qin State actively controls the floods, which is said to be the curse of the Qin State. Could it be that the Sanjin, who let the flood, thank God for giving them the flood, so they refused to help the disaster?
Zhang Liang also spread rumors everywhere, saying that the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms tried to dig up the embankment and flood more fertile land in order to restore the country, regardless of the lives of the people.
He also sent dead soldiers to pretend to be servants of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms in various dikes, to destroy the dikes, and then sent troops to capture them.
During this period, there were also really stupid old nobles of the Six Kingdoms who fished in troubled waters and sent people to wreak havoc on the embankment.
Zhang Liang, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately captured him and put his actions on the heads of these stupid people.
Zhang Liang fanned the flames everywhere. When the flood is almost unbearable and needs to be released again, detonate all the sparks, and let the victims storm the local hoarders, or secretly accumulate forces, and prepare to rebel against the old noble manors of the Six Kingdoms.
Angry victims killed the people and robbed them of their food.
The Qin army immediately came to quell the rebellion and pacify the victims, dealt with some of the leaders, and then renovated the manor house kept by the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms and turned it into a resettlement site for the victims.
As a result, the radicals among the victims were killed, and the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms, who secretly wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, were killed. Food has been replenished and the anger of the victims has been vented.
King Qin's work of managing the flood disaster immediately became much smoother.
After Zhang Liang finished everything, he returned to Qin Wangzheng and was officially appointed as an internal official by Qin Wangzheng.
Zhu Xiang didn't know any of these things.
But seeing the development of things, he vaguely felt that there must be someone else interfering and pushing in this.
He did not write to ask, but continued to silently patrol the embankment, trying to keep as many embankments as possible.
At the end of September, the rainfall subsided, the flood peak finally passed, and the water level began to recede.
Zhu Xiang went to the flood discharge site non-stop, and cleaned up the sludge with the common people who came back to rebuild his hometown, the prisoners and Qin soldiers sent by the King of Qin, rescued the grain buried in the ground that might still be saved, and replanted the crops for famine relief.
King Qin's famine-relief grain also arrived.
Led by Zhu Xiang, the government had relief again, and the mood of the victims was relatively stable, and they finally survived the ravages of the flood.
But the catastrophe was followed by the pandemic, and the harvest and starvation were not the whole story of the flood.
Zhu Xiang wrote to Bian Que in Southern Qin asking for help, hoping that he would send a disciple to help.
Although there is no shortage of medical practitioners in Guanzhong and Kanto, when Bian Que studied schistosomiasis in Southern Qin, he also studied other epidemic diseases after the flood, and the epidemic prevention after the Yellow River flood is what he is best at.
When Zhu Xiang was about to flood the Yellow River, he had already sent someone to write a letter to ask Bian Que to send his disciples over.
When Zhu Xiang had already used his meager knowledge of epidemic prevention to control the epidemic, Bian Que's disciples were late.
At the same time, Bian Que's avatar on his favorability list was also grayed out.
Seeing Bian Que's disciples wearing coarse linen clothes, Zhu Xiang didn't say anything, but only arranged their work.
"Zhu Xianggong, the teacher left many books in Wu County, and I hope to dedicate them to Zhu Xianggong."
New Bian Que Road.
Zhu Xiang nodded: "When the epidemic is over, I will go back to Wu County for ...... See off your teacher. ”
Zhu Xiang didn't even know the old man's real name, only the surname.
Even the favorability list does not have the old man's real name, only the word "Bian Que".
The word "Bian Que" in Zhu Xiang's favorability list was dimmed, and a new "Bian Que" lit up.
Bian Que is a miracle doctor who walks among the people, and it is a miracle doctor who has been passed down from generation to generation.
After they inherited the name of Bian Que, they were Bian Que, just Bian Que.
The old man's tombstone only has Bian Que's name on it. Only in the coffin is his past.
After Bian Que was too old to walk, he lived in Wu County and wrote books and said.
He believed Zhu Xiang's words.
Zhu Xiang said that he would open medicine at the Xianyang Academy. If the Xianyang School Palace could not be opened, he would establish a medical school in Xianyang at his own expense, so that people could systematically learn medical skills in the medical school.
Teaching materials are needed to open a medical school, and Bian Que is busy with this matter.
Bian Que also wants to gather more colleagues and friends to study together. But not everyone is like him, who has a benevolent heart that everyone in the world is a doctor.
Nowadays, healers are craftsmen, and they do not regard medicine as a science, but as a craft that cannot be worn outside to make a living.
Most of the craftsmen were worried that they had taught their apprentices and starved their masters. The same goes for the healer.
But healers are not healers, they are also a school of thought, just like the other doctrines of the Hundred Schools of Thought. They are also scholars seeking a way to heal the world, a group of seekers.
