When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 399: Hundreds of miles away from Zeguo, the Ji family returned to Zhuozhou

Rumble!
  On a rainy night without thunder, the sound of rushing water sounded like thunder.

This woke up many people.

In Ji's territory, some tribes near the water swamp heard screams: "Water! Big water! There is big water in the northeast!"

In an instant, the shouts were drowned out.

The flood is coming.

The tide rushing in from the northeast is raging in the heart of Peiping.

There were originally many sandbanks with clear land, but now they were completely submerged in the water.

Xin Qu ordered the flood to be discharged, not through the Tongzhou Waterway, but in the direction of Beiping. The only outlet for the flood was the southern section of the Wuding River.

The remaining tribes and villages in the entire Beiping area were all submerged by the influx of water, and the vegetation was swept away by the sand. They rushed all the way to Daxing and Fengtai, and then merged into the Wuding River in the southern section.

As the Wuding River flows into Langfang, Wuqing, Yongqing, and Jinghai, it finally enters the sea from Tianjin.

As a result, the entire southern Youzhou and Tianjin areas have become the places with the most serious losses in the Haihe River Basin and Chaobai River Basin.

The tribe was severely affected!
  Ji's family was hit again.

Xu Zhui looked at the surging water with an expressionless expression. A month ago, he chose to bring his tribe to Fangshan, and he was lucky enough to escape this major flood.

But the report coming from below made him feel distressed.

More than [-] people lost contact completely during this flood. Even if they could be contacted, it is estimated that there would be more than thousands of casualties, and there may be an outbreak of disease.

"Chief, we should evacuate Fangshan as soon as possible." Ji Shan came over with a serious expression, "Go south to Zhuoshui. Otherwise, over time, it will be difficult to ensure that we will not be kidnapped by other tribes who have returned from fleeing.

And after this flood, it will take at least two or three years to restore normal production conditions, otherwise the plague alone will..."

"Well, I ordered Nomad to leave here." Xu Zhui followed Shan Ruliu.

We must go, this flood...

"By the way, before we leave, arrange for some people to search the remaining tribes and tell them that the Xin family is responsible for this flood."

"You mean..." Ji Shan's eyes lit up.

"Whether it's them or not, it can only be them." Xu Zhui sighed, "With the Xin clan... they have the ability to control fire and divide water. I don't believe that this flood has not affected them. They must have brought a large number of The water accumulates and then is released all at once.

This spring, we didn't find any water, and they intercepted all the water.

Now this is retribution. Let each tribe find trouble with the Xin family and buy time for us to regain our footing in Zhuoshui. "

"Yes."

Ji Shan also thought it was reasonable. The water suddenly leaked out without giving him any time to react. This was obviously a problem.

It must be the Xin family's damming upstream, which caused bad consequences.

Let those tribes who have been harmed go to the Xin family to make trouble. After all, after this flood, subsequent plagues and famines can kill people. It is estimated that the Xin family's fields are also flooded now. If they can provoke these little The tribes are taking turns wreaking havoc with the Xin clan, so... that's also great. After all, the Xin clan is vast and sparsely populated. If these tribes run in and want to mobilize a large number of troops to arrest them, it will be very expensive.

So, after three days, the rain stopped.

Xinqu looked at Zhanyan's sky without much of a good expression.

Instead, we arrived in Shunyi as soon as possible.

The polders here in Shunyi have basically returned to normal order, but due to the flooding, the taro leaves are growing wildly. Xin Qu brought an iron sickle made of Miyun and ordered the nearby towns, battalions and two people drawn from the Snake Hao Department. More than a thousand slaves all went to the polder and began to artificially cut about one-third of the taro leaves, floating branches and rotten leaves, and burn animal carcasses.

"Clan leader, it's very miserable downstream."

Xinqu and his people worked hard for another three days, and tribes from the lower reaches began to come to seek refuge.

Of course, Xinqu's attitude towards these people was to split them up, then pack them up and take them to Yanqing. If you don’t agree, use force to suppress it.

However, someone still collected information from downstream and came to tell Xin Qu about the situation.

The downstream was very miserable. The affected population was probably close to [-], half of whom were from the Ji family. The Ji family had already moved away, and no one from the tribe on the other side of Fangshan was found.

According to the investigation, they migrated towards the boundary of Zhuozhou, that is, back to their hometown.

The more than ten thousand swamp people, the remnants of the Guzhu clan, and some Shanrong Lindi tribes here in Tianjin are basically unorganized. Countless people are wailing and offering sacrifices, but the plague may break out at any time, and many people are swollen. But there was nothing we could do.

They are looking for a way out.

Now, either go north or go south.

"Also, there are rumors outside that the flood was caused by our Xin family. It is said that our previous cofferdam was used as a dam, which caused the flood to accumulate, and then collapsed, and then a large amount of water came out. If we didn't do this Even if we do, floods are impossible..."

The boy who spoke looked at Xin Qu silently.

He actually wanted to know if this was the case.

But Xinqu didn't say anything, he just tapped the table with an expressionless expression.

By blocking rivers to store water and building embankments and dams, floods and droughts in the upper reaches are caused by people, and droughts and floods in the lower reaches are inevitable.

But what can be done?
  This is the only way for agricultural production and a production condition formed by relying on natural rivers.

If you don’t want it to be so uncomfortable, you have to maintain it and keep dredging it.

Water conservancy projects are themselves part of public works. If Xin wants to develop quickly, it is impossible for water conservancy projects not to be revised.

As for the lower reaches, now they can take the opportunity to send troops south, collect the remaining tribes as soon as possible, and integrate them into their own households.

In this way, Tianjin is under control.

"Okay, let's mobilize each household and send some people south.

We will stay in Langfang, Wuqing and Tianjin.

Then recruit people from these three places, suppress the local tribes, conquer them with force and food, and then divide the tribes from the conquered tribes into households and transfer them to Fangshan and Daxing.

Completely control the entire Peiping and northern Tianjin.

Then began to add outposts and study hydrology.

When I return from the Yourong clan's western expedition, I will find a way to use some of my manpower to sort out the waterways.

After the water channel in Tongyi is dug, water will be gradually released from Peiping, and the flood discharge point will be placed in Zhuozhou. The terrain over there is even lower than in Peiping.

A river channel will be opened along the way to facilitate subsequent access to various parts of Hebei. "

Xin Qu had a plan. As for the Ji family's escape and settling down in Zhuozhou...

Zhuozhou is low-lying, and there are Zhuo River and Yi River flowing across it. Further south is Baiyangdian. The water of Wuding River and Beiping have to be discharged from here to Baiyangdian, and then from Baiyangdian eastward to the sea.

Therefore, since the Ji family has withdrawn, he will have to add more troops to control Fangshan, Daxing and Langfang.

As for the local swamp people, they were suppressed by force. Now that the flood has just passed by, people are panicked and suffered heavy losses. It is just right to use force and food to completely control them and save subsequent verbal disputes.

Anyway, they don’t have much fighting power. As for the plague problem, the quicklime previously mined in Zunhua area can be released for use.

High temperature can kill [-]% to [-]% of germs. Combined with boiling water, the possibility of plague outbreak can be reduced.

If the plague still breaks out, then rely on killing to control the destruction, simple and crude.

Although Xinqu saves manpower, the limitations of this era are like this, and he is used to it.
