Chapter 51 The First Battle of the Yellow River
Chongbo Dayu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info leads the four heavenly generals, the four earth generals, Tu Jiao, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, and the three seven immortals Shennongzi. After saying goodbye to Hebo, he took a big boat down the river and went straight to the east coast where the Yellow River flows into the sea.
When the boat reached the lower reaches of the Yellow River, everyone was surprised when they saw it. There is no longer a distinction between a river and a plain. I saw a vast flood everywhere, and the water and the sky were connected, and there was no end in sight. The only ones that emerge from the water are hills and hills. The people lived on higher grounds, and life was very difficult.
The big ship continued to drift eastward until it came to Jieshi Mountain on the edge of the East China Sea. The people left the ship and came ashore. Dayu decided to set up a base camp on this Jieshi Mountain.
Everything is in place. Dayu took out the divine fruit "Shatang" given by the Queen Mother of the West. There are ten more pieces in one count, except for the four heavenly generals, exactly one for each person, and give it to Tu Jiao and let her share it with everyone. He also instructed that after eating the pulp, the seeds of the begonia must be planted at the water's edge in Daying, so that these immortal fruits that can prevent floods can grow and multiply on the land of China.
Early the next morning, Dayu gathered everyone to discuss the matter. First of all, Chang Xin and Zhuhai were sent to the vassal states on both sides of the Yellow River to recruit people and transport grain and grass with their own Chongbo Fu Festival. Changxin went to the vassal states on the south bank of the Yellow River, and Jihai went to the vassal states on the north bank of the Yellow River.
It is ordered that all the beneficiary vassal states from the Dongping Lake down should provide their people's husbands and grain and grass. Large vassal states with large populations should produce more, and smaller kingdoms with small populations should produce less. Under the condition that agricultural production is not affected, each household is required to send a young and middle-aged man between the ages of 18 and 40 to bring his own flat burden, basket, rope, rake, pickaxe and other water control tools to Jieshi Mountain for use.
Dayu sent Changxin and Zhuhai afterward. He also said: "The four heavenly generals, Gengchen, Xuan Yu, Kong Lu, and Dazhang listen to the order. Order you and the other four to be in charge of security from today onwards. It is necessary to patrol everywhere and beware of the troubles of various mountain monsters and water monsters, cow ghosts, snakes, and gods. The four generals responded in unison: "Obey." He went down and went around.
After the four generals left, Dayu ordered Xuangong and Huang Ge again. Said: "Xuan Gong and Huang Ge listened to the order and appointed the two of you as the commanders of the water control project. Not only lead the migrant workers to dig the river, but also manage the organization, discipline, and food and accommodation of the people. It is necessary to divide the people into a number of large and small organizations according to the collection, hundreds, thousands, and thousands. Pick up a person to set a long one. A hundred people set up a centurion. A thousand men set up a commander of a thousand. 10,000 people shall have a commander of 10,000 people. You yourselves are the captains of 100,000 men. It is necessary to carry out orders and prohibitions as if they were leading an army, and to be strictly disciplined and orderly. Xuan Gong and Huang Ge responded: "Obey the order", retreated, and went to study and design the implementation plan.
Dayu ordered again: "Boyi brings a book, and Pythagorean brings a measuring ruler and rules and standards." Chapter 9 took the abacus and went with me to survey and measure the river. Tu Jiao and Sanqi Immortal Shen Nongzai stayed in the base camp. ”
Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, and the three of them also learned the tone of the four heavenly generals and responded in unison: "Obey the order."
Only Tu Jiao and Sanqi Immortal God Nongzi did not obey the order. Shennongzi stepped forward and said to Dayu: "Brother Dayu, I won't stay in the base camp, I want to go with you to survey and measure the river." Don't forget, I'm a little earth fairy, I can walk underground, survey and measure rivers, how can I do such an important job without me?"
Dayu listened to the small land fairy god Nongzi say this, and then he suddenly realized. slapped his thigh and said: "Brother Shennongzai, don't be angry, I was confused for a while, and I almost buried the talent." Just now, I only thought that you were too young, and I forgot that you know how to escape. You can walk underground, just in time to find out the water veins underneath. Surveying rivers is your forte. Earlier, I only thought about your ability to know all kinds of herbs and cure people's diseases, but I forgot that you also have the strength of earthly practice. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. I now order the Sanqi Immortal God Nongzi to follow me to survey the river. Shennongzi jumped up with joy and said vividly: "Obey, Lord Chongbo." ”
Tu Jiao also said: "I will not stay in the camp, I will follow you to survey the waterways, so that I can sew clothes for you at any time and cook delicious meals for you."
Dayu originally thought that it was too hard to survey the river, and I was afraid that Shennongzi and Tu Jiao would not be able to bear it, so they let them stay in the base camp, but they didn't expect that these two people had to follow, so they had to rely on the two of them.
When Tu Jiao heard that Dayu also agreed to go with her, she smiled happily. playfully agreed: "Obey Lord Chongbo." I also ran to the back to pack up the things of the app.
But it was said that Dayu took Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, and Shennongzi to survey the waterways together. The group came to the scene of the old road of the Yellow River. Dayu is holding the Chibi Erjian in his hand. The Chijian was able to see through the gold, silver, copper, iron, and mineral deposits ten feet underground. The Bijian can see through the dark rivers, water veins, and water-bearing sand layers within ten feet underground.
Pythagorean held the measuring ruler given by Fu Xi in his hand, and carried the rules, rules and guidelines on his back. Chapter 9 carries a big abacus on his back. Boyi was holding a bamboo slip in his arms and a pen in his hand. There are only three seven immortal god farmers, only carrying a medicine gourd. It's easy and you don't have to take anything.
Dayu took off his shoes, bare feet, and pulled up his trouser legs high. He led the little brothers sometimes by boat, sometimes on foot, all day long crawling in the water and mud, holding Bijian in his hand, taking pictures as he walked, and giving instructions in his mouth.
Pythagorean hand held the measuring ruler, aimed at the target of the measurement, and read in his mouth: "Measuring the ruler, measuring the sky, the descendants of the dragon measuring the rivers and mountains" read the mantra and then looked at the measuring ruler, only to see how many feet high and how wide the mark immediately appeared on the measuring ruler, which was clear at a glance, making the measurement work easy and pleasant, just like playing a game. Jiuzhang held a big abacus in his hand, and from time to time crackled the data of the Pythagorean measurement, got the results, and made marks.
Boyi's job is to write down Dayu's instructions at any time, break some willow branches, and insert them on the river channel drawn by Dayu to mark.
Sanqi Immortal God Nongzi is also very busy. Dayu sometimes encounters places that even Bijian can't understand, so he asks Sanqi Immortal Nongzi to personally drill into the soil to check one. Shennongzi burrows into the ordinary land, and it is as easy as eating a home-cooked meal in and out. But when he encounters a place with mud and water, it is not fun to get into it, and when he comes out of the ground again, he will become a mud doll. At this time, Boyi deliberately angered him: "Shennongzai, go into the land to investigate, it's a little earth fairy who gets in, and it's a mud doll that comes out." Shennong was so angry that he rolled his eyes. In turn, he said angrily: "We just like this virtue, this is the true nature of labor, dry monkey."
Dayu said: "Boyi, don't laugh at Shennongzai, he made it dirty for his contribution to water control, and he should be rewarded." Hearing this, Shennongzi turned his anger into a smile, and made a "grin" to Boyi: "How is it? You can't get into the ground if you want to. Haha!"
Dayu took a few little brothers to go over the mountains and mountains, walking in the mud, wading in the water, and drilling in the grass. The wind and rain were exposed to the sun, and they were tanned one by one. His hands and feet were calloused, his body was scratched by the branches and stones, and his clothes were scratched. Every day when they returned to the camp from the survey site, they were like beggars who had been wandering for many days. Thanks to Tu Jiao, she tries her best to cook delicious meals for them every day and sew up torn clothes.
After many days of crawling and wading through mountains and rivers to survey the waterways of the Yellow River, the day was finally completed.
This section of the Yellow River was silted up by the sediment brought by the flood for more than 100 miles, so that the river could not enter the sea, and the yellow water flowed sideways. Only by re-dredging this section of the river and returning the Yellow River to its original course can the flooding in the Central Plains subside considerably.
Where to excavate, where to dig, how wide and how deep to dig, all were accurately measured, willow branches were inserted, and marks were made.
The people, grain and grass transferred by Changxin and Zhuhai also arrived one after another, and the 100,000 people transferred from the south bank were handed over to Xuangong to lead. The 100,000 people transferred from the north bank were handed over to Huang Ge to lead.
Dayu ordered Chang Xin and Zhuhai to serve as logistics ministers. Responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, to ensure the supply of food and logistics materials for the people.
In the past few days, the spring breeze has been warm, the sun is shining, and there are no mountain spirits and water monsters coming out to make trouble. Dayu led Xuangong and Huang Ge to lead 200,000 people to line up on both sides of the Yellow River.
I saw Dayu barefoot, high trouser legs, standing on the river, holding a wooden ralei, and took the lead in digging the first rake of soil to control the Yellow River. Then an order was issued: "Start work!" The 200,000 people saw that Dayu took the lead and personally dug up the first piece of soil to control the Yellow River, and was greatly encouraged. As soon as I heard Dayu shouting the word "start work", 200,000 people started together, and people worked happily.
200,000 people, crowds of people, digging digging, picking, lifting, people coming and going, bustling, people happy, hot.
The four heavenly generals held their blades and rose into the air, patrolling back and forth in the air, always beware of mountain spirits and water monsters coming to make trouble.
At this time, Gengchen suddenly found that a golden light shot out from the sea surface of the East China Sea, and it shot quickly in the direction of the water control site. Gengchen hurriedly beckoned the rest of the heavenly generals and greeted Jin Guang.
I saw that the golden light was getting closer and closer, and the light was dazzling, so that the eyes of the four heavenly generals were painful, and they couldn't see anything clearly for a while.
I heard a roar of "moo-whoa" like a thunderbolt and a strange laugh of "ha, ha, ha, ha!" The golden light rushed quickly from the middle of the four heavenly generals.
Dayu is digging a river with the people on the construction site. As soon as I looked up, I saw a ball of golden light shooting from the East China Sea, a deafening "moo-whoa" scream, and then a "ha, ha, ha, ha" laugh flew over the construction site. Immediately behind the monster, thunderbolts and lightning and wind wrapped in torrential rain poured down on the construction site. The lightning pierced people's eyes, the thunder shook people's ears, and in an instant the torrential rain poured the people like chickens in soup. The people scattered in search of shelter from the rain. At the river digging site, only Dayu was left with Xuangong, Huang Ge and a few little brothers.
On the first day of the start of water control, it was inexplicably dispersed by this monster who only heard its sound and did not see its face, and Dayu was very helpless.
Dayu came back to the four generals and asked about the monster. The four heavenly generals looked at each other, and Geng Chen said: "We only saw a ball of golden light, which shot from the East China Sea, and when the golden light arrived, we only felt that the golden light was dazzling, and it made my eyes dazzle and hurt, and I didn't see what the monster looked like at all." The monster scurried past me. Then it swept over the construction site, turned a corner and returned to the East China Sea. Listen to the roar, like the cry of an ox. ”
It's strange to say. Dayu has just finished work, and the rain on the construction site is clear, and the sun is shining. Everyone said that it might be a youkai passing by by accident, otherwise, why would it come and go like this? When it came, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the wind was mixed with torrential rain. After going, the thunder stopped raining, the sun was shining, the eyes were empty, and Dayu and the four generals were also confused.
The result of the discussion was that the work would start as usual tomorrow. The four members of the sky will have to be careful in advance, and if the monster comes again tomorrow, they will never let it go.
Early the next morning, the people came to the water control site again, and Xuan Gong and Huang Ge led 200,000 people to line up on both sides of the Yellow River. The people were happy, and they started digging the river again.
The four generals did not dare to slack off, and they all stared at the direction of the East China Sea, and Dayu also paid attention to the movements in the direction of the East China Sea from time to time. Boyi, Pythagorean, Jiuzhang, Tu Jiao and Shennongzi were also worried and kept looking in the direction of the East China Sea.
It has just started less than an hour ago. What everyone was worried about really happened again, and they saw another golden light coming out of the East China Sea, shooting straight in the direction of the construction site. The four heavenly generals immediately greeted it, wanting to stop the monster in the sky above the East China Sea, so that it would not cause trouble above the construction site.
Dayu also picked up the mountain axe and greeted the East China Sea, and all the people stopped their work and stretched their necks to look at the East China Sea.
Geng Chen, Xuan Yu, Kong Lu, Da Zhang, and other four heavenly generals have just approached the monster. was dazzled by the golden light of the monster, as if he had been pricked by a needle, the pain was unbearable, tears flowed, and he couldn't see what the monster looked like at all. All I heard was a roar of "moo-ho", followed by a loud laugh of "ha, ha, ha, ha", and the monster rushed past the four heavenly generals. The monster was followed by lightning and thunder and a raging storm, and the sun was immediately darkened, and the sky over the construction site was dark. The pouring rain fell from the sky, pouring all the heavenly generals, all the generals, Dayu and the little brothers, more than 200,000 people were drenched all over, like a chicken in the soup. The people all ran around with their heads in their hands, looking for shelter from the rain. Only Dayu and his little brothers were left on the water control site. Stand under the wind and the rain, let the wind blow and rain.
