Chapter 196 Dayu's Flood Control, Human Clan Replacement

Gun's wife was a daughter of Youxin, Xiuji, and they had a son named Dayu.

After Shun executed Gun, he visited many people in his clan who were capable of water control. Later, they heard that Yu, the son of Gun, was very good at water control. So Shun ordered Yu to take charge of water control instead of bullying Gun.

After Yu accepted the task, he immediately, together with Yi and Hou Ji, called the people to come to help.He inspected the river course and reviewed the reasons for Gun's failure. He decided to reform the method of water control, changing from blocking to dredging. He personally crossed mountains and ridges, crossed rivers and rivers, took tools, measured the height of the terrain from west to east, set up benchmarks, and planned waterways. .He led the migrant workers for flood control to travel all over the country. According to the benchmarks, they opened up mountains and built embankments in depressions to dredge waterways and divert floodwaters into the sea.In order to control the water, Yu exhausted his brains, was not afraid of hard work, and never dared to rest.Not long after he married Nvjiao, a female name of the Tushan family, he left his wife and embarked on the road of water control again.Later, he passed by the door of the house and heard the sound of his wife giving birth and his son being born, so he gritted his teeth and did not enter the house.When he passed by for the third time, his son Qi was hugging his mother. He already knew how to call Dad, waved his little hand, and greeted Yu. Yu just waved to his wife and children to show that he saw them, but he still didn’t stop. down.Yu San never entered the house, which is the best proof of his hard work to control the water.

Yu also cared about the suffering of the people.Once, seeing a man who was so poor that he sold his child, Yu redeemed the child.Seeing that some people had nothing to eat, he asked Hou Ji to distribute the only food to the people.Yu wore tattered clothes, ate poor food, and lived in a simple tent. Every day, he personally held a Lei and took the lead in doing the hardest and dirtiest work.Over the past few years, the hair on his legs and arms has fallen off, thick calluses have formed on his palms and soles, his body is dry, and his face is dark.After 13 years of hard work, they opened up countless mountains, dredged countless rivers, built countless dams, and made all the rivers in the world flow to the sea.The land that had just receded from the flood was too wet, so Yu asked Yifa to give seeds to the people and teach them how to grow rice.

In the process of water control, Yu traveled all over the world and knew the terrain, customs, and products of various places like the palm of his hand.Yu re-planned the world into nine
States, and formulated the tribute varieties of each state.Yu also stipulated that the area five hundred miles away from the emperor's base is called Dianfu, the five hundred miles away is called Houfu, the five hundred miles away is called Suifu, the five hundred miles away is called Yaofu, and the outermost five hundred miles is called Yaofu. Desert clothes.Dian, Hou, Sui three clothes, into different goods or undertake different labor services.You have to serve, you don't accept anything to serve, you only need to accept discipline and abide by the legal system and government orders.The deserted clothing is managed according to its customs, and the Chinese and Korean politics and religion are not enforced.

Because of Yu's success in water control, Emperor Shun gave Yu a piece of black jade jade in a grand sacrificial ceremony to commend his achievements, and declared success and great rule to all people in the world.Soon after, Yu was granted the title of uncle, and Xia (now Wanxian County, Henan Province) was named his country.Yu's prestige in the world reached its peak.All the people praised and said: "If there is no Yu, we would have become fish and turtles." Emperor Shun praised Yu, saying: "Yu, Yu! You are my arms, thighs, ears and eyes. I want to benefit the people. You help me. I want to observe the sky, know the sun, the moon and the stars, compose and embroider clothes, and you advise me. I want to listen to the six rhythms, five tones and eight tones to rule the chaos, and promote the five virtues. You help me. You never flatter me in person. Slander me. With your sincerity, virtue, and example, you have made the court pure and innocent. You have carried forward my holiness, and you have done a lot of credit!"

In the 33rd year of Emperor Shun's reign, he officially recommended Yu to heaven and abdicated the position of emperor to Yu. Seventeen years later, Shun died during his southern tour.After three years of mourning, Yu avoided living in Yangcheng and handed over the throne to Shangjun, the son of Shun.But all the princes of the world left Shangjun to meet Yu.With the support of the princes, Yu officially became the emperor, with Anyi (now Xia County, Shanxi) as his capital, and his country was named Xia.The enfeoffment of Danzhu in Tang Dynasty and the enfeoffment of Shangjun in Yu.The calendar was changed to take the month of Jianyin as the first month.He collected all the copper from the world and cast it into the Jiuding, which is the symbol of the co-lord of the world.

Yu, who became the emperor, worked more diligently to benefit the people, sincerely recruited scholars, and listened to the opinions of the people extensively.Once, when he went out and saw a sinner, he got out of the car to greet him and wept.The entourage said: "The sinner has done bad things, why should you pity him!" Emperor Yu said: "During the time of Yao and Shun, people had the same heart and mind as Yao and Shun. Now I am the emperor, but people's hearts are different. How can I not feel sad?" Yidi made some wine, and after drinking it, Emperor Yu felt that the taste was very mellow, so he ordered Yidi to stop making wine, saying: "The future generations will definitely perish because of wine."

Not long after Yu succeeded to the throne, he elected Gao Tao as his successor and gave him full power to handle government affairs.After Gao Tao's unfortunate death, he elected Boyi as his successor to be in charge of government affairs.

In the tenth year of Emperor Yu's reign, he toured the south.When crossing the river, a yellow dragon swam up and arched the big boat. The people on board were very scared.Emperor Yu looked up to the sky and sighed: "I am ordered by the sky. Sasuke depends on the sky to live, and returns to the sky when he dies. Why do you worry about this dragon?" When the dragon heard this, he shook his tail, bowed his head and disappeared .When Emperor Yu went to Tushan, there was a meeting of princes from all over the world, and the princes who presented jade and silk came to have an audience with thousands of people.

Emperor Yu died ten years later and reigned for 45 years.

During the 45 years of Dayu's reign, he made endless contributions to the prehistoric human race.He not only eliminated floods for the prehistoric human race, but also enfeoffed the land of Kyushu, and cast Jiuding separately to keep Kyushu safe.Because of the merit of guarding the Kyushu, all of these Jiuding received the merits of heaven through the hands of Dayu, and became the Jiuding of Merit.

When Dayu controlled the water, there were many footprints of Jiejiao's disciples in the flood. There are several treasures that Dayu used to control the water. They are the Yellow River map presented by the uncle of the Yellow River, the water-avoiding sword, the mountain axe, and Dinghai needle for measuring seawater, Qushanduo for driving mountains and shifting.

Among these magic weapons, there are water-avoiding sword, mountain-opening axe, and mountain-dispelling duo, all of which were given by the Jiejiao, and those who followed Dayu to control the water were also monks of the two religions.

Thanks to Dayu's concern for water control, the monks of the two religions accumulated some merits. At the same time, it was at this time that the monks entered the human race and helped the king of the human race to govern the government.

Decades later, Dayu was old, and Emperor Zenrang was located in Boyi.However, Qi, the son of Dayu, was also a man of outstanding ability. When Dayu was still alive, Qi gathered a large number of courtiers by his side.After Dayu passed the throne to Boyi and died, Qi, with the help of his subordinates, suddenly attacked Juntai, killed Boyi, made himself king, and established the first tribal dynasty in Chinese history.Since then, the abdication system has been abolished and replaced by the hereditary system of the throne.

Qi had five sons. After Qi died, the five sons fought for power, causing civil strife in a powerful kingdom, and the people were in dire straits.After Taikang ascended the throne, he neglected political affairs and indulged in wine and sex, and was seized by the Youqiong clan of the Jiuyi nationality to seize power.Until Youqiong was killed by his minister Han Yun, Shaokang fled to the Yu clan, and with the help of the Yu clan, he organized Xia's old troops and accumulated strength. After the power was restored, the rule of the Xia Dynasty was restored.

Shaokang completely wiped out the remnants of Han Yun, and vigorously conquered the various tribes of Dongyi, all the way to the East China Sea.Later, it was still between Yiluo.During the reign of Ji Zhu, it formed the heyday in the middle of the Xia Dynasty.From Shaokang to Kongjia, five dynasties and six emperors have been experienced during this period. The rule of the Xia Dynasty has always been relatively stable, basically maintaining an upward trend.The Xia Dynasty centered on Henan in the area of ​​Yi and Luo.

After Shaokang's death, the throne was passed on to Yu, Yu passed on Huai, Huai passed on Mans, Mans passed on Xie, Xie passed on without descending, and without descending passed on to Jian, Yuan passed on to Yinjia, and Yinjia passed on to Kongjia.

During Kong Jia's reign, he indulged himself in singing, dancing and wine. Legend has it that he was the founder of a tune called "Dongyin" and believed in ghosts and gods.He is a tyrannical and tyrannical king.As a result, the leaders of all tribes rebelled one after another, and the Xia Dynasty gradually declined.

At the end of the Xia Dynasty, the royal family did not maintain internal affairs, foreign aggressions continued, and class conflicts became increasingly acute.After Xia Jie came to the throne, he didn't think about reform, and was extravagant and profligate.

In No. 30 three years after Xia Jie came to the throne, there was Shi Shi who was conquered by soldiers, and Shi Shi couldn't resist, so he gave him a beautiful woman named Meixi as a tribute.Jie loved Meixi very much, and specially built a magnificent Qiongshi, Xianglang, Yaotai and Jade Bed for her. The burden of all these fell on the people.Jie reused his courtiers and rejected Zhongliang. There was a villain named Zhao Liang who devoted himself to Jie's favor, taught Jie how to enjoy life, how to blackmail and harm the people, and won Jie's favor.

As early as when Dayu was controlling the floods, there was a disciple named Yi Yin who cut off the teaching. He was inspired by Dayu's virtuous virtues and joined Dayu's command. The great rivers and mountains in the Xia Dynasty were not because he couldn't bear it, so he persuaded Jie with the benevolent government of Tang Yao and Yu Shun, hoping that Jie would understand the suffering of the people and govern the world with his heart.Jie couldn't listen, Yi Yin had no choice but to leave.

In his later years, Jie became even more dissolute, and even ordered to build a large pool, called the Night Palace. He brought a large group of men and women together in the pool, and did not go to court for a month.Taishi ordered Zhonggu to remonstrate with tears, but Jie was very impatient and reprimanded Zhonggu for meddling in other people's affairs. Zhonggu knew that Xia Jie was hopeless, so he defected to Shangtang.Xia Jie had a courtier named Guan Longpang. Hearing the angry voices of common people, he remonstrated with Jie and said: "The emperor is humble and faithful, frugal and caring for the talented, so the world can be stable and the dynasty can be stable. Which Today, Your Majesty is extravagant and bloodthirsty, making the people hope that you will perish sooner. Your Majesty has lost the hearts of the people, and only by correcting your mistakes quickly can you restore them." After hearing this, Jie scolded Guan Longpang angrily, and finally ordered to kill Guan Longpang. he kills.As for the loss of popular support and the betrayal of relatives.

At this time, the Shang tribe became more and more prosperous under the leadership of Tang.Jie was worried that Shang Tang would endanger him, so he imprisoned him in Xiatai with excuses.Soon, Tang designed Jie to release himself.

After Shang Tang returned to the tribe, he began to recruit soldiers and buy horses to resist Xia Jie's tyranny. Seeing this, the Jiejiao disciples rushed to vote in order to accumulate merits and virtues so as to survive the disasters of later generations. Shang Tang was with the help of these many monks In the end, the tyrant Xia Jie was finally pulled down from the throne, and the capital was established to establish the Shang Dynasty.

After Shang Tang established the country, he learned the profound lessons from the fall of the Xia Dynasty, abolished the cruel oppression of the people during the Xia Jie period, and adopted the policy of "governing the people with leniency", which eased the internal contradictions of the Shang Kingdom and stabilized the political situation. The national power is also growing stronger day by day.He conquered many countries around him and won a series of victories.

After Shang Tang's death, because of his son Taiding's early death, Taiding's younger brother Wai Bing succeeded to the throne; after Wai Bing's death, his younger brother Zhongren succeeded to the throne; Tang's eldest grandson.Emperor Taijia immediately stood for three years. He was ignorant, tyrannical, disobedient to Tang law, and disorderly in morality, so Yi Yin released him to Tonggong.Taijia lived in Tonggong for three years, repented and blamed himself, Yiyin welcomed Taijia back and gave him the administration.Afterwards, Taijia practiced morality and obeyed the law, the princes surrendered, and the life of the people was relatively peaceful.

Counting from Zhong Ding, Jing IX coincided with the period of Pan Geng. During this period, the Shang royal family was fighting for the throne, and internal strife continued, resulting in constant foreign troubles.Shang Wang Zhongding moved from Bo to Xiao, Hejia moved from Xiao to Xiang, Zu Yi lived in Pi, Nan Geng moved from Pi to Yan, and Pangeng moved from Yan to Northern Mongolia, which is called Yin.

Wu Ding was the son of Pan Geng's younger brother Xiaoyi, that is, Pan Geng's nephew.When he was young, Xiao Yi let him live among the people for a period of time, and he knew very well the hardships and hardships of the people's lives.After succeeding to the throne from Pan Geng, he was conscientious, did not dare to settle down, worked hard, and was determined to revitalize the great cause.He went out to conquer all over the country, including Guifang, Tufang, Qiangfang, Renfang, and Hufang.During these campaigns, King Shang conquered many small countries, expanded his territory, captured a large number of prisoners, and conquered many small countries.After Wu Ding's death, the peace and prosperity he created restored a lot of vitality for the Shang Dynasty, and it was passed down to Emperor Yi.

When Emperor Yi is king, the world is peaceful, the people enjoy their work, the weather is smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are safe; the four barbarians hand over, the guests of all directions are obedient, and the princes of the eight hundred towns all rule in the Shang. There are four big princes leading the eight hundred small princes. Jiang Huanchu, living in Donglu, Nanbohou Echongyu, Xibohou Jichang, Beibohou Chonghouhu; each town of princes leads [-] small town princes, a total of [-] town princes belong to Shang.

Since then, the human race has prospered, and the mighty virtue has spread all over the prehistoric region in a short time, and no one can surpass it.

When Emperor Yi saw this, he was very happy, and he treated the people of the world with more kindness.

Emperor Yi has two sons, one is the son of the main empress, Di Xin, and the other is Qi, the son of the partial concubine. Qi is the eldest son and should have inherited the throne of Emperor Yi. emperor.Di Xin has been extremely intelligent since he was a child.After Emperor Yi's death, Emperor Xin succeeded to the throne. He attached great importance to farming and mulberry, the social productivity developed, and the national power became strong.He continued to initiate the use of troops against Dongyi, repulsed Dongyi to expand to the Central Plains, and extended the power of the Shang Dynasty to the Jianghuai area.In particular, Xu Yi's victory expanded the territory of the Shang Dynasty to Shandong, AH, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the coastal areas of Fujian.Emperor Xin's use of troops against the Southeast Yi protected the security of the Shang Dynasty.

Di Xin dared to get rid of the old evils of the previous kings and stopped slaughtering slaves and captives.Instead, let them participate in productive labor, supplement the source of troops, and join the army to fight.He despises stereotypes and vulgar customs, selects the virtuous and appoints the capable, regardless of their status; The prestige of the Shang Dynasty was unmatched at one time, and all the eight hundred princes surrendered.

However, in the later period of Emperor Xin, he gradually began to take credit for himself, and became proud and complacent. He often thought that his merits and virtues were comparable to those of the ancient three emperors, and he did not pay attention to the many monks in the world. In short, in this way, Fang led to a battle of the Conferred Gods that shocked future generations.
