Chapter 001: The Yellow River Jiaojiao (1)

Since the pre-Qin period, there have been dozens of dynasties such as the Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Sui, the Tang, the Song and the Yuan......

Although the imperial dynasty in the world has undergone repeated changes, what has always remained the same is that as long as the world is in chaos, it will be a series of wars and disasters, and the people will sell their wives and children, and they will be miserable, and they can only struggle in dire straits......

The waves crash on the shore, and the turbid waves are monstrous. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe yellow flood rushed and rolled down, destroying everything that stood in front of it, which was a catastrophic flood of the Yellow River that occurred during the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng Dynasty.

The Yellow River is the second largest river in China, originating from the Qinghai-Tibet Sea of Stars and stretching for more than 10,000 miles. It flows through Henan, Shandong, Jianghuai and other places, so these provinces have been the most flooded since history.

It has been an incurable disaster in the Central Plains for thousands of years.

The flood is because of the flash flood in the upper reaches, coupled with the heavy rain falling in the sky, more than once, from Mengjin to Tongwaxiang, and then to the Jianghuai area, breaking many gaps, the disaster is really rare. At this time, it is the middle of the river flood season, and the water is becoming more and more fierce and difficult to treat.

Since Meng Yuanping Xiangfan, Yushan destroyed the young emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty in the first battle and entered the Central Plains. He held martial arts and divided the world into four classes, including Mongolians, Semu, Han people, and southerners.

The first-class Mongols were the Mongol and Yuan people, and they were called "their own flesh and blood".

The second-class people refer to the people of the Western Regions such as Huathornzimo in Central Asia, which were the first to be conquered by the Mongols.

The third class of Han people, also known as Han'er. It generally refers to the Han and Khitan, Jurchen and other ethnic groups in the territory of the former Jin Dynasty north of the Huai River, as well as the Yunnan people who were conquered by the Mongols earlier, and the Sichuan people who were conquered by the Mongols at the latest. Koreans also belong to this category.

The fourth-class southerners were also contemptuously called barbarians, sacs and gangsters, and new people. It refers to all the people in the territory of the former Southern Song Dynasty who were finally conquered by the Mongol Yuan.

Among these four groups, the Mongols have the highest status, the Semu people are the second, the Han people are the third, and the Nan people have the lowest status, which is the last. In terms of treatment, they are all different, and they all have different treatments in terms of office, imperial examinations, and criminal laws.

In the imperial court and the provinces of the world, the official residence of the six important positions are mainly Mongolian people and Semu people. At most, Hannan people can only hold deputy positions, and they cannot participate in secrets with Wen military and political affairs.

The Mengyuan officials in charge of the Yellow River's water control and river engineering were all people who originally lived in the Western Regions and grasslands, and they knew nothing about inland river engineering. Not only that, but the funds allocated for river control were also embezzled and misappropriated as usual.

In the Youyuan Dynasty, the flooding of the Yellow River was repeatedly banned, and then it became the fuse for the overthrow of the Mengyuan Dynasty.

This flood of thousands of miles of the Yellow River has not been encountered in a hundred years, or even a thousand years. When the flood peak came, it was gaining momentum from the upstream to the downstream, turning one after another, and the waves were rushing down, causing flooding in the Jianghuai area.

The farmhouses of the low-lying families have long since been submerged and floated away, and have disappeared. In the higher places, only half of the ruins and broken walls are exposed, and the victims are sleeping on the high ground, and many of them are besieged by the flood, living in trees and screaming for help, and there is a sea of water everywhere.

From time to time, I saw a group of drowning people mixed with boxes and cages, drifting down the river, the torrent in the river is still surging with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas, rolling up thousands of waves, the whirlpool stirred up by the stormy waves, large and small, one after another, down the torrent, the speed is extremely fast, and it disappears without a trace in an instant.

As soon as the whirlpool encountered floating corpses, broken trees, and other things, it only swept in and turned around a few times, and they all swallowed it and disappeared. At the slightest turning point, no matter how thick the embankment was, it was swept away by the waves, and a large area collapsed when it landed.

The rolling turbid waves poured down the embankment, engulfing a large area in a blink of an eye, and no one even had time to escape, no matter the houses of people and animals, they were swept away next to each other, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.

The land of Jianghuai has always been a small number of people, many river embankments are dangerous, and there are many villagers living along the embankments.

It's just that as soon as the embankment was broken by the flood, the people in front of them first fell into the river with the embankment, and were swept away by the turbid waves of the flood and lost their lives. Seeing this, the people behind all fled in surprise, and there were cries and shouts for help everywhere.

Where is the power of heaven within the reach of manpower?

For a time, the wailing of the four fields corresponded, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth. It makes people feel sad and booed when they hear it. But the water is still increasing and surging. Vultures hit the embankment more than once.

In the stormy waves, I saw that there were countless strange fish with black ridges and shaped like knives and scissors in the water, and they couldn't help but rush to the embankment by riding the water momentum, and there was a great tendency to not stop if the embankment collapsed.

When the crowd on the shore saw it, all of them were colorless, and the old and the young were crying and screaming, and they fled from the nearby villages to the high ground with their shoulders and burdens, as if a great disaster was coming.

This is because the people along the river are experienced, and they know that as long as this strange fish comes, the river embankment will burst, and no matter how they protect it, it is useless, so they are scrambling to flee for their lives.

It turns out that this strange fish shaped like knives and scissors is called iron cone fish, which is a natural disaster in the Yellow River, and there is not a single one on weekdays, but as long as it appears, there is a flood.

And the iron cone fish has the characteristics of life, as long as it appears, it will specialize in the embankment along the river, and it is a group of thousands, rushing along the embankment, no matter how strong the embankment, as long as it is hit by the iron cone fish, it will not take long to make the embankment along the river hang on the water surface and lose support.

Under the rough waves, as long as a wave hits, the embankment will be broken and collapsed, and it will soon burst.

And the most powerful thing is that as long as it is the collision of the iron cone fish, it is a dangerous terrain. Once the break is made, it is too late to even rush to protect it. And the number of iron cone fish is large, and it continues to go forward and follow. blindly rushed and slammed into it, and the residents along the river were afraid of it.

In the past, when floods occurred, there were people who used harpoons and arrows to shoot iron cones. Although many people were killed, because of their ferocity and fearlessness, the embankment was still washed away, and the disaster area spread more widely.

Just when the iron cone fish hit the embankment and stopped, the people rushed to cry and flee for their lives. I saw a red-clothed and red-hatted monk sitting on the embankment, and two waiters stood behind him, ignoring the victims who were rushing to flee for their lives, and only watched coldly as the iron cone fish couldn't stop crashing into the embankment. His face did not change, his expression was arrogant, and he seemed to be confident.

This red-clothed monk has a leopard-headed lion's nose, thick eyebrows and a big mouth, a pair of big eyes and shining, and is more than seven feet tall. It has a very high status in the Qinghai area.

At the time of the Mengyuan Dynasty, the princes and nobles all believed in Buddhism, mainly the Shingon sect, also known as Tantra, which was introduced by the Tibetan Wusi Tibet. When successive emperors ascended the throne, they had to receive the Buddha ordination first according to the convention, and respected the Tibetan monks as the emperor and the national teacher.

The first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was the head of the Sakya sect monk from Uszang, Ba Sipa, and Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, named him the "Great Treasure Dharma King", gave him a jade seal, and held the political and religious power of Tibet and Tibet, enjoying a supreme position.

Although Kayintu is in charge of Naga Monastery in Qinghai, he is not a member of the Sakya sect to which His Holiness the Great Treasure King Phagsipa belongs, but a well-known Nyingma sect of the Red Sect in Tibet.

Nyingma is the Tibetan word for ancient and old. The sect follows the tantric teachings transmitted in the pre-Tibetan period, hence the name. He does not pay attention to the precepts, but focuses on secret mantras, and the propagation of the Dharma is mainly based on esoteric teaching.

Since the Nyingma monks all wear red clothes and red hats, it is customary to call it the Red Sect. They and the Sakya sect both belong to the Esoteric sect of Tibetan Xifan, and the two sides are in harmony with each other.

Studying under the "Great Sun Dharma King" Karaopa, Kayintu was proficient in the secret methods of the Red Sect, and believed in his magic and magic, intending to achieve the supremacy of the same status as the Phags-pa and reinvigorate the prestige of the Nyingma sect.

He went to Dadu very early with his guru "King of the Great Ridharma" Garopa, intending to promote the Red Sect Dafa. In Dadu, they deliberately befriended the Xuanzheng Yuan envoy Hama, and presented the acting method to Emperor Yuan Shun through Hama. It is said that this method can make the qi on the human body or eliminate, or swell, or elongate, or shrink, so as to bewitch Emperor Yuan Shun.

Emperor Yuan Shun used this method to perform the intercourse technique with great results and was overjoyed, so he ordered Hama to convey the holy decree, take three beauties as offerings, and crown the "Great Day Dharma King" Garospa as the Great Yuan National Teacher.

Although the Great Japanese King Garopa was favored by Emperor Yuan Shun for his dedication to the secret method and was awarded the title of national teacher, it was still not enough to shake the supremacy of the Sakya sect in the Mengyuan court.

Later, Garopa heard that the Yellow River was seriously flooded, which shook the country's foundation. So he volunteered, asked Emperor Yuan Shun for help, and sent the first disciple Kayintu to Jianghuai to quell the flooding of the Yellow River.

Seeing that the water was rising and was about to burst the embankment, those Mengyuan officials sent by the imperial court to assist Kayintu in controlling the water saw the people fleeing in all directions, and their faces were also colorless at the moment, but their legs couldn't help shaking, but they didn't dare to run away without permission.

Seeing this, Kayintu smiled coldly, did not speak, only stretched out his left hand, and a waiter behind him hurriedly presented a precept knife when he saw this, and Hayintu took the precept knife, drew a few strokes on the ground, and recited a mantra.

He waved his arms, and in the midst of the shouts, an octagonal altar immediately surged on the ground.

The altar is about two feet high, and the four sides are all red, yellow, black, blue, blue and other colors, the flames are shining, and there are more than ten tall figures, holding a banner, and the characters who are like fierce gods and evil spirits appear and disappear in the flames.

I saw Kayintu sitting in the center of the altar, the incantation stopped, and he instantly pointed the ring knife in his hand to the river, and a series of beaded fireballs were born on the tip of the knife, the size of a wine glass, and they shot towards the iron cone fish.

This is the extremely powerful Yin Fire Divine Thunder in the Red Sect, and it is extremely powerful. With a cloud of fireworks, it flew towards the flood of the Yellow River. I only heard the sound of "Bo Bo Bo Bo" bursting, and the water splashed in all directions, and hundreds of iron cone fish were killed immediately.

Kayintu thought that the Yin Fire God Thunder could kill most of the Iron Cone Fish, but unexpectedly, the Iron Cone Fish had the characteristics of preferring to die rather than retreat, allowing the Yin Thunder to explode in the sky, and hundreds of the same kind were killed.

Kayintu couldn't help but be furious when he saw it, and pointed at the ring knife in his hand, and the divine fire and thunder couldn't help but gush out, and one hundred and ten yin thunders flew into the water one after another, and the beads exploded more than once, and the corpses of the iron cone fish were blown into the air from time to time in the stormy waves, and the blood waves passed everywhere, and the river was red, and suddenly there were thousands of iron cone fish remains, which rolled all the way with the rushing current, and disappeared in an instant.

Kayintu was temporary, only concerned about dealing with the iron conefish, forgetting that the embankment could no longer support under the impact of the iron conefish, only to see a huge wave upstream, "boom", dozens of feet of the embankment was immediately washed away by the flood.
