- ?This year, only some areas of the provinces suffered from drought, but since summer, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, and Jiangsu have been rainy, and the water levels of the Yellow River and Huaihe River have skyrocketed.
? Zhang Guowei, who has been promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, was appointed governor of flood control.
Now that the flood has receded, Zhang Guowei returned to Nanjing urgently.
Zhao Han looked at the disaster memorials in various places, and suddenly raised his head and asked: "More than 2,000 people were drowned in Sizhou, but the local officials were negligent?"
Zhang Guowei replied: "Your Majesty, the power of the sky is unpredictable and it is not human fault. Sizhou City is low-lying. Once the flood overflows the dam, it will flow back into the city."
"Is the embankment not high enough?" Zhao Han asked.
Zhang Guowei said: "It can't be built higher, but the river bed is getting higher and higher, and the water level of Hongze Lake is getting higher and higher. If there is another flood that never happens in a century, once the embankment breaks, the entire Sizhou city will be submerged, and Sizhou will be destroyed." Become part of Hongze Lake."
"So serious?" Zhao Han felt that this matter was quite serious.
The area of ??Hongze Lake in the late Ming Dynasty was relatively small, but it was increasing every year, constantly turning the surrounding land into a lake bed.
Zhang Guowei explained in detail:
"During the reign of Hongzhi, Liu Daxia was ordered to control the river. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the Grand Canal, Huanglinggang had to be blocked, and the Taihang embankment was built to cut off the flood channels of the Yellow River North River, forcing the Yellow River to flood southward, and go to Biansi, Suisi, The Guohe River flows into the Huaihe River, and the Yellow River sediment is becoming more and more silted up in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River."
"During the Jialong period, Pan Jixun was ordered to control the river, and he also had to ensure the smooth flow of the Grand Canal. After eighteen years, Pan Jixun built the embankment for thousands of miles. As a result, the Huaibei flood channel of the Yellow River was also blocked, and all the sediment was carried away. Go downstream. In the Qingkou area where the Yellow River, the Canal, and the Huaihe River meet, the riverbed is constantly rising. The combined riverbed of the Yellow River is already much higher than the Huaihe River."
"As a result, the water of the Huaihe River was blocked at Qingkou, unable to drain, and flowed into Hongze Lake in large quantities. As a result, Hongze Lake became bigger and bigger, encroaching on the land around the lake every year."
"This situation was discovered by Pan Jixun during the third river control. After the water was used to attack the sand, he proposed to store the clear water to clean up the yellow. Build an embankment in Hongze Lake, raise the water level of Hongze Lake, and use the lake water to wash away the sediment. , so as to achieve the goal of the Huaihe-Huanghe River flowing into the sea."
"But today, a large amount of sediment has accumulated in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the river bed has continued to rise. The water in Hongze Lake has been washed away. Not only can't be washed, but it is also flooded by the river. Higher, the lake is getting wider and wider. If this continues, according to my guess, within thirty to fifty years, the area around Sizhou will be swallowed up by Hongze Lake!"
Zhao Han asked: "How to govern?"
Zhang Guowei said: "There are two ways."
"Speak." Zhao Han said.
Zhang Guowei said: "The first way is to build dozens of dams in various river sections, continue to collect water to attack sand, store clear water and clean up yellow. All the people in Sizhou City and the surrounding areas will be moved to other places, and Hongze Lake will be left alone. Expand and let Sizhou sink to the bottom of the lake. This method may guarantee two hundred years of peace of mind, during which it will be repaired and maintained every year."
Zhao Han couldn't help but said: "This is not a cure for the root cause, it's purely making mistakes!"
The Ming and Qing dynasties governed the Yellow River, the tactical concept was correct, and the strategy was wrong from the beginning.
And it must be wrong, and if it is not right, it will lose its official position.
No matter who is the governor of the river, how many people are drowned, how much land is submerged, it is not their real duty. Their first priority is to ensure the smooth flow of the Grand Canal and ensure that grain can be transported to the capital by water transport.
Keeping water transport is politically correct.
How can it be possible to manage the Yellow River on the premise of politics?
Therefore, Pan Jixun knew he was wrong, but he could only let it go. The Qing Dynasty knew that the Ming Dynasty was wrong, so it could only make mistakes, which eventually caused the Yellow River to divert again.
Zhang Guowei explained these reasons, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the new dynasty of Datong does not need to consider water transportation. It is a great opportunity to control the Yellow River. The second method is to artificially divert the Yellow River, and the water of the Yellow River flows from Shandong to the sea!"
Zhao Han asked: "How to force the Yellow River to flow from Shandong to the sea?"
Zhang Guowei explained: "On the north bank of the old course of the Yellow River, there are many flood channels that can discharge floods and accumulate sediment brought by the Yellow River. In order to ensure water transportation, the officials of the Ming Dynasty blocked all the flood channels on the north bank of the old course of the Yellow River, and blocked the flood channels in northern Jiangsu. All the flood channels of the Yellow River were blocked, resulting in the continuous accumulation of Yellow River sediment in Hongze Lake and Huaihe River. The method of the minister was to mobilize the people to dig through the old channels of the Yellow River, and also dug the flood channels of Henan and Shandong. At that time, the current river course was blocked, the Taihang embankment was demolished, and the Huanglinggang was dug to allow the Yellow River to flow to Shandong from the old course."
Zhao Han was speechless: "This is a big project!"
Zhang Guowei said: "The old course of the Yellow River and the flood course, the local people have to relocate. Today, Shandong, He?As a hindrance, he instigated the scholar to injure the jellyfish empress with magic weapons.
In a rage, the jellyfish mother flooded Sizhou City, drowned the scholar, and flooded the Ming Zu Mausoleum, avenging old hatred and new hatred together. Even if the souls of the drowned souls in Sizhou went to the underworld to complain, it was Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Guo who killed them.
Anyway, drowning a city of people has nothing to do with my Qing Dynasty.
Zhang Guowei left Beijing with a difficult task. He had to go back to his hometown first and reunite with his family for half a month. Next, it is estimated that there will be no chance to go home, and I will have to travel between Shandong and Henan provinces all year round.
All the ministers dispersed, and Fang Yizhi, who had been waiting for a long time, was finally brought by the female official to have an audience.
"Your Majesty, the hot air balloon experiment has been improved many times, and there is no problem," Fang Yizhi said. "In three days, Jinling University will organize a grand launch ceremony, and all teachers and students of the school will participate. If Your Majesty is free, you can also go to watch it." .¡±
Zhao Han was in a bad mood when he just made the regulations for harnessing the Yellow River, but he became happy when he heard this: "I will definitely go!" <a href="https:///60324_60324500/679302683.html" target="_blank"> https:///60324_60324500/679302683.html</a> Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co - Didn't finish reading?
