Spoiler History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 550 Seizing Huaihe River
〖Searching in the mountains and seas, I couldn't catch it. The look in my eyes showed that this was really the descendant of the car god.

Wan Yangou: Go to the West to invite Buddha Temujin!

Du Chong is such a bad guy. When he was the prefect of Cangzhou in his early years, he killed all the people coming from the north in the name of worrying about possible spies, forcing the people to turn against each other. Later, he succeeded Zong Ze to guard Kaifeng. This piece of shit can only dig up the Yellow River, and the Jin soldiers There was no impact, and two hundred thousand people drowned.

It’s not just that… Du Chong’s digging of the Yellow River can be said to have caused disaster for thousands of years. The Song Dynasty himself recorded that “the Yellow River entered the Qinghe River to defeat the enemy, but the river naturally ceased to exist.” This created the earliest yellow flood area.

This thing is far more disgusting than Chang Kaishen. Du Chong's digging of the Yellow River directly triggered the most serious diversion of the Yellow River into the Huaihe River more than 60 years later. The Huaihe River Basin flooded for more than 600 years until it burst out again in the late Qing Dynasty. The river's northward migration ends.

Ming Chao said that I really thank you.

Zhao Gou also praised him for "forgetting his country and his family, and gaining the courage of his father-in-law; he anticipates the enemy when the opportunity arises, and has the style of an ancient general."

Don't tell me, don't tell me, the unofficial history of the Song Dynasty records that Zhao Gou was frightened to death by the Jin army when he was fleeing. This was the first time since ancient times that the eunuch emperor had suffered this.

Zhang Fei: Seriously?
Basic fidelity, after all, Zhao Gou is famous for his lust, but after searching the mountains and seas, he never gave birth to an heir again. It was either broken or broken, and there was no other possibility.

"The Hero Wan Yan Gou", but it was really thanks to Wan Yan Gou's ability to run away. The golden man he flirted with was so ecstatic that the battle line was stretched too long, and Yue Fei and Han Shizhong caught the opportunity.

"If we can really regain the old land like this and create a good relationship between the king and his ministers, how would it be appropriate?"

After thinking about it, everyone couldn't help but nodded, thinking, isn't this it?

Li Shimin: I only know my own body and my talents are shallow today. 〗

Jian Yong also paused for a moment, thinking about it before summarizing it with a strange word.

"It's really difficult for Yue Fei to save the people and fight against the Jin Dynasty." Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief and once again lamented for Yue Fei.

The result is that the reality of everything in the Northern Song Dynasty has gradually been lost. On the one hand, it is a lesson to the pitfalls that the Northern Song Dynasty has stepped on, and we should be careful not to repeat the same mistakes. On the other hand, we even have a subtle feeling of enjoyment.

Everyone in the Han Chang'an General's Mansion looked at each other in silence.

In the end, Jian Yong smiled and said:
"If it is as the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said, the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty is something no one dares to imagine...it is strange."

Guangmu said it briefly, but as a general under Du Chong, Yue Fei saw his people behaving so recklessly, so he probably had to give advice.

Kong Ming shook his head, stood up and showed the map behind him:
"Why don't I wait to talk about the Yellow River's seizure of the Huaihe River? I thought it was unexpected."

In the end, when Du Chong turned against the Jin people, how Yue Fei fought out to gather his men and fight in the rear of the Jin army was beyond the level of hardship that can be explained clearly in a few sentences.

After all, Liu Bei also knew that this was absolutely impossible.

After all, Zhao Da should be more anxious.

Whenever I feel that the Song King's actions have exceeded ordinary people's imagination, I will know some more outrageous deeds.

But fortunately, Yue Fei has really managed to turn the tide and prop up the building before it collapses.

Kong Ming then recounted what he remembered without thinking:
"In the twelfth year of Emperor Xiaowen's reign, the jujube tree burst, the river overflowed, and Dunqiu changed its course."

"In the third year of Yuanguang, the Gouzi breached and changed its course. Emperor Xiaowu and his Yulin army did not care about their own safety. Then Guantao breached again, diverting the Tunshi River through Weijun, Qinghe, and Xindu into the Bohai Sea. The river spread thousands of miles away and there were countless victims."

"In the fifteenth year of Emperor Guangwu's founding, the Tunshi River burst its silt pads at Mingdukou of the Qinghe River. Hundreds of thousands of people were affected by the disaster. The two rivers merged and merged into one, and thousands of branches entered the sea..."...

In the Manlu Hall, Yan Lide was also telling Li Shimin:

"...In the twelfth year of Emperor Ming's reign in the former Han Dynasty, Wang Jing was ordered to build canals and embankments for more than a thousand miles from Xingyang to Qiancheng, and it became a big river."

"Although the river occasionally bursts, its course does not change its straight course, and it has been stable for hundreds of years. Looking at the course of the Yellow River in later generations in the Northern Song Dynasty shows that there should have been a major breach at that time. The Yellow River changed its course to the Hewei River in Weizhou and entered the sea. This should be due to the siltation of the old channel. There is a tendency to move southward.”

"And judging from the plan to seize the Huai River..."

Yan Lide looked up at the map that was extremely clear for later generations, and hissed softly:
"The Yellow River flows through Sishui into the Huaihe River and connects other rivers. The water potential in the south is different from that in the north. The river channels are complex and dense, and the mountains are dense. Comparing the two phases, the water potential of the Yellow River is unpredictable."

"If a narrow river channel is used to carry water for thousands of miles, it can be imagined that the river channel must swing in Huainan, Henan, and Jiangnan. Mountain torrents will not originate from one place, and the country will be affected thousands of miles away."

Borrowing the map of Ganlu Hall, Yan Lide's description is quite clear, and the scenery is not difficult to imagine.

So Li Shimin couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, imagining a giant river dragon rolling around in the Three Roads, swamping thousands of acres of fertile land at every turn, and burying tens of thousands of people, and this problem actually lasted for more than 600 years. Year.

"This Du Chong is really a man who will never atone for his sins! He and Zhao Gou complement each other perfectly!"

Wei Zheng's brows were furrowed, disgust evident, but his heart was full of uneasiness.

After all, Wei Zheng still regarded himself as a Confucian scholar, but later generations also said that the Song Dynasty was the time when Confucianism became prominent.

But now look at the state of the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty. How could monarchs and ministers study like this?

Moreover, there were words floating around before that showed that Neo-Confucianism flourished during the Southern Song Dynasty, which also made Wei Zheng's mood even more complicated.

Looking at the Northern Song Dynasty, although there were many problems, at least there were such talents as Fan Zhongyan, Wang Anshi, etc., but in the Southern Song Dynasty... with such a king and such a prime minister, how can we talk about self-cultivation and governing the country? What else is there to say about inner sage and outer king pacifying the world?

On the other hand, what Li Shimin was most concerned about was naturally whether the Tang Dynasty would be in such danger now. Fortunately, Yan Lide's answer made him relieved.

"The great river roads built by the former Han Dynasty are now in peace. It only needs to strengthen the embankments to ensure that they are safe for a hundred years."

"If we can regularly clear out the blocked branch veins, use the methods of previous and later generations to build the old embankment into a new embankment, and protect the vegetation upstream, we can be worry-free for hundreds of years."

So Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.

No way, the scene of the thousands-mile Yellow River flooding described by Yan Lide is really scary.

"Even if I don't know much about military strategy, I know that when the army marches out, there are horsemen outside and there are strong soldiers patrolling inside. How can Dihe hide it from the army's eyes and ears? It's nothing more than blocking it for seven or eight days."

Empress Changsun sighed, not hiding her disdain for Du Chong:
"It's just pity for those hard-working people. Without the Rangers as eyes and ears, innocent souls appeared in the chaos."

"The Emperor of Song Dynasty became a useless person overnight. It is impossible to say that he inherited the retribution of these wronged souls."

Looking at the angry face of the queen, Li Shimin smiled helplessly and quickly held hands and promised:

"This disaster has been predicted and will never happen again."
