In the first year of Jingyou, the reason why it was said to be a hundred years of paralysis was because the dragon of the Yellow River shook its 'tail'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the spring of that year, the Yellow River burst its embankment in Henglong, Jingdong, and the turbidity flow flowed down the terrain, flooding the Daimyo's mansion, and then turning northward, raging more than ten prefectures and flowing into the sea. Although the imperial court rushed to repair it for several months, it still could not tame the river, so it could only be rerouted.

At this point, the Yellow River has completely entered a period of rampage, with a small collapse in two years and a major collapse in three years. More than 1,000 miles of rivers from the Daimyo's Mansion to the mouth of the sea are even more changeable, ravaging the land of Hebei and Jingdong.

Zhao Zhen made Hefang toss what he wanted to die of, if Huanglong didn't come out to do something in that year, the historian would have to write down the sentence full of happiness like "It's the year of Hening".

Yellow Dragon Dance!

If that yellow dragon really goes crazy, it will really be an immortal disaster!

"Kuanfu, let's be serious! Since the beginning of Jingyou, the imperial court has invested heavily in repairing the Yellow River defense every year, and this year's floods have stabilized, and the Yellow River is not in great danger. ”

Wen Yanbo said 'Yellow Dragon Dance', not only Chen Zhizhong didn't believe it, Song Zhen didn't believe it, Pang Ji didn't believe it, and even Zhao Zhen didn't dare to believe it.

The reason why Zhao Zhen brought them all together was because Wen Kuanfu's performance was really terrifying.

At this time, Chen Zhizhong suspected that Wen Yanbo was alarmist, and Wen Xianggong didn't say much, so he asked the chamberlain to take a map of the Great Song Mountains and rivers, pointed to the map and said: "This year's floods, as of today, most of the emergency places are Weishui, Fenshui, Luoshui and other tributaries of the Yellow River, but the danger along the Yellow River is relatively light. ”

"According to the water situation reported by various states, the water situation of the Yellow River is much better than that of Jingyou year, with one-third less water."

Chen Zhizhong said: "Isn't this better, how can the Yellow River be in trouble?" ”

Wen Yanbo said: "Chen Xianggong and look." As he spoke, he pointed to the three major rivers of Weishui, Fenshui and Luoshui and said: "It is true that the Yellow River has little water, but the main danger this year comes from the tributaries of these three major rivers, which is especially worse than that year." ”

"The water situation of Fenshui is estimated to increase by 50% per year; Luoshui increased by seventy; Weishui is more than twice as much as Jingyou year! Although the danger of these three rivers is now stable, such a large water potential will flow into the Yellow River, which will cause the water volume of the Yellow River to surge, and the volume of water in the Yellow River section from Hezhongfu down will be even larger than that of Jingyou Nian. ”

Hiss!!

Chen Zhizhong gasped, so isn't it dangerous?

It was when he was surprised, but he heard Zhao Zhen say: "Wen Qing's family should directly say countermeasures!" "He had heard Wen Yanbo say this a long time ago, and he had even heard about that 'countermeasure'.

"Dig the embankment and divert the stream!" Wen Yanbo said word by word.

“”

“”

“”

"Digging?" Chen Zhizhong, Song Zhen, and Pang Ji were all stupid, and said in their hearts, just you Wen Yanbo dare to think of such an idea, right?

"Dike? Before the dam broke, you dug your own embankment first? Then it is better to wait for the dam to burst before relieving the disaster! ”

"Kuanfu's strategy is too radical and undesirable!" Chen Zhizhong objected. He now somewhat understands why Zhao Zhen's face was wrong as soon as he came in.

Dig your own embankment? Where's the digging?

You must know that wherever the Yellow River and Tianshui open, it is a catastrophe that harms one party, and it is the life of the people in several states.

That's dozens, millions, of human lives!

It is not difficult to see from here that Wen Yanbo's decisiveness is absolutely ruthless.

Wen Yanbo heard this: "Now you can choose a place for active diversion, but if you really wait for the river to collapse, then you have no choice!" ”

Chen Zhizhong froze, "What do you mean?" ”

Wen Yanbo sneered, pointed to the map and said: "From Hezhong Mansion all the way down, Xianggong chooses by himself, and see where Xianggong thinks the river will break the river and lose the least!" ”

Chen Zhizhong leaned in front of the picture and looked at it, and his heart sank

He understood what Wen Yanbo meant

Indeed, once the Yellow River is allowed to collapse on its own, it really can't afford to go anywhere in the Great Song Dynasty.

Hezhong Mansion to the east of 400 miles is the important place of the Beijing Division, once the embankment bursts in this section, Kaifeng bears the brunt of it, and will be destroyed in the monstrous waves. And Kaifeng further down, until the East China Sea, is a flat river, no matter where it is, it will be an immortal disaster that floods dozens of states!

And the most terrible thing is that if it can't be blocked like Jing Younian, then the entire Jingdong Road and Hebei Road will never be peaceful.

The raging river will silt up large areas of the plains on Donglu Road, creating a yellow floodplain. Without such a large and important grain-producing area, the annual grain output of the Great Song Dynasty will be reduced by at least 20%. The imperial court will once again fall into a vicious circle of ruling the river every year and flooding every year!

Seeing that Chen Zhizhong's face was getting worse and worse, Wen Yanbo said without yin or yang: "Is the prime minister elected?" ”

Chen Zhizhong was speechless, he was right, this river can't afford to collapse!

"If you strictly order the states to defend the river, can't you hold it?"

"What if?"

"What if I can't hold it? Who will bear the consequences? ”

Chen Zhizhong stopped talking, and he didn't dare to give this guarantee.

Pang Ji stepped forward at this time and looked at the map of mountains and rivers for a long time, "If it is as Kuanfu said, the risk here is indeed too great, and it is not a strong man's plan to break his wrist if he chooses to divert the site in advance!" ”

Pang Ji is not as indecisive as Chen Zhizhong and Song Zhen. For a Xianggong who has been in the northwest for several years and is known for governing the army, he has the ruthlessness that is rare among literati, and only he dares to echo Wen Yanbo.

Zhao Zhen stared at the noisy ministers below and was silent. He didn't know that he couldn't afford to collapse in the lower section of Hezhong Mansion, but Wen Yanbo proposed to divert it, but he couldn't accept it.

Zhao Zhen has the kind of mercy that the emperor should not have, human life is greater than the sky, even if he is respected as the king of a country, he has no right to ignore the lives of the people in several states. Besides, the place where Wen Kuanfu's embankment broke was absolutely impossible.

"Kuanfu show them where you want to divert it."

Zhao Zhen finally spoke up to stop the argument of several people, Chen Zhizhong was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Where? ”

Wen Yanbo sighed, raised his hand and pointed to a place in the picture, "Here, looking at it now, only by opening an opening here and dividing the water of the Yellow River to the north will the loss be minimal." ”

“”

"No! Never! ”

This time, it was not Chen Zhizhong who spoke out against it, but Pang Ji, who was in favor of diversion just now.

Why did Pang become so fast? Because the place Wen Kuanfu pointed out is the most fatal place, once it is not handled well, it is not a problem of river trouble, it is a major national defense matter!

The place Wen Yanbo pointed out is a section of the Yellow River in Shizhou, located at the junction of Yongxing Military Road and Hedong Road.

Perennial in the northwest of the army, so that Pang Ji knows the northwest well, Shizhou southwest high, northeast low, and many mountains and hills, at first glance, if you really open an opening for the Yellow River here, then the diversion is not difficult, and the river will go north along the terrain, it is likely to only flood Xin and Dai two states, that is, with the Song Liao boundary river, by the boundary river waterway rushing into the sea.

In exchange for the peace of dozens of states and counties in Jingdong, this business seems to be very profitable, but Pang Ji knows that the most fatal place is here!
