Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- In Huguang Jingzhou, fisherman Xiong Youdi carefully drove his small fishing boat through the dangerous Jingjiang River.
Since ancient times, the Yangtze River has been naturally dangerous in Jingjiang. The nine-winding Yangtze River has become extremely dangerous here. The Yangtze River, which is thousands of miles long, is dangerous in Jingjiang.
This section of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River starts from Zhicheng and ends at Chenglingji. The entire river is winding and winding, and is known as the Jiuqu ileum. Because after the river leaves the Three Gorges, the water flow is rapid, the direction is swaying, the river is winding and large. There are dozens of small, winding and dangerous places.
Such a place is very prone to danger. Once it encounters heavy rain, it is very prone to floods. According to local records, major floods will occur here almost every one or two years.
The dams here have been repaired and destroyed, destroyed and repaired again. Disasters occur almost every year, and the local people are always preparing to move.
But this is the most important plain area in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, related to the fertile Hanjiang Plain.
The rapid development of Hubei and Wuhan in later generations is inseparable from the construction of the Jingjiang Levee here in Jingjiang after the founding of the People's Republic of China. With the protection of the Jingjiang Levee, nearly 20,000 square kilometers of fertile Hanzhong Plain can be protected.
Large areas of fertile land that were previously unable to be cultivated due to floods were reclaimed and became important food-producing areas. The original flood-stricken areas were transformed into vast and fertile wilderness.
Of course, during this period, this place was still a flooded land. Not to mention fertile farmland, people in the surrounding areas had to be careful even when fishing or transporting goods in the Yangtze River, because the river here was too dangerous. .
Xiong Youdi is an old fisherman. He has fished on the Yangtze River all his life. He is well aware of the dangers of the Jingjiang River. The water in those places is very fast. There are a lot of hidden reefs, rocks, whirlpools, etc. in the river. , he knew it very clearly.
But even so, he was still very careful and sailed the boat carefully. This was also the key to his ability to fish in this dangerous river.
At this time, Zhang Si. In dangerous river sections, there are very few people who dare to fish, and they often catch more fish than in other places.
??? 强牺 zhuiyo.com 读牺。"Woo~"
At this time, a whistle sounded from the river. Xiong Youdi looked back and saw that it was a small steamer steaming upstream with billowing black smoke. The speed was quite fast.
"Alas, times have changed. With this steamer, we can sail against the current so fast."
Looking at the steamer emitting black smoke, Xiong Youdi couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, it was very difficult to walk against the current on the river, and your hands would often feel sore. When encountering rapids, it might be difficult for you to move forward for more than half a year. If you are not careful, you might be in trouble. He was carried away by the current to a more dangerous place.
However, with the emergence of steamships, the situation has changed greatly. Steamships rely on steam power to propel them. Their powerful propellers are full of power and can easily overcome the inconvenience caused by going against the current and avoid many dangers. area.
Looking at the steamer again, there are a group of officials in official uniforms and a large number of officials standing on the deck above. Each of them is holding a telescope and seems to be carefully observing the situation in the Jingjiang River section.
"Old sir~"
Soon, the steamboat caught up with Xiong Youdi¡¯s small fishing boat.
Zhong Fan, the Minister of Engineering on the ship, put down the telescope in his hand and asked Xiong Youdi with a smile.
Zhong Fan used to be the chief envoy of Guangdong, and was later transferred to Central Asia. Because he did extremely well in both Guangdong and Central Asia, he was also transferred from the local area to the center of the imperial court and became the left minister of the Ministry of Industry. , just waiting for the position of the Six Ministers to be vacated, or the position of the Cabinet to be vacated, you can directly become the Six Ministers or the Cabinet.
It can be said that he is definitely an important official of the imperial court. This time he was also ordered to come to the Yangtze River in the south to be responsible for the comprehensive management of the Yangtze River. He must dredge the Yangtze River and at the same time build dams and reservoirs in dangerous places on the Yangtze River, and build dams and reservoirs in important places. Ports and terminals give full play to the role and value of Yangtze River transportation.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
Xiong Youdu looked at the steamship in front of him. Although it was a small steamer, it was still many times larger than his own small fishing boat. Next to it, it was like a giant monster.
"Old sir, do you have any fishing experience in this section of Jingjiang River?"??You're a teenager now? "
Zhong Fan looked at Xiong Youdi. It was rare to see anyone fishing in this section of the Jingjiang River along the way. If you ask anyone, you will know that this section of the Jingjiang River is extremely dangerous. Few people dare to fish in this section of the Jingjiang River, even in the past. Most of the boats do not dare to go along this section of the river.
"It has been more than thirty years. I have been fishing with my father on the Jingjiang River since I was sixteen years old."
Xiong Youdi thought for a while and said.
"Then you must know the Jingjiang River section very well?"
"I can't say I know it very well, but at least I know which places are more dangerous and which places are more rapid."
"That's great. We are officials from the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court. Now the imperial court must vigorously dredge the Yangtze River, build dams, reservoirs for flood control and water storage, etc."
"The first thing that needs to be managed is this section of the Jingjiang River. We are short of guides. I wonder if you are willing to be our guide?"
When Zhong Fan heard this, he immediately became happy.
Managing the Yangtze River is a systematic project. The imperial court has made great determination and has many things to do. Yang Yiqing, Minister of Industry and Industry, grew up in Baling, Huguang. Although his ancestral home is Yunnan, he is an authentic Huguang native. He, along with Li Dongyang and Liu Daxia, were known as the three heroes of Chu during this period.
He has a deep affection for Huguang, so he also emphasized the importance of managing the Jingjiang River section.
Because the market in the Jingjiang River section burst its banks and flooded, the surrounding large plain area not only did not become a fertile land of fish and rice, but instead became a swampland due to floods.

If the Jingjiang River section can be managed, it can completely benefit the entire Hanjiang Plain area and turn the surrounding large areas of land into fertile fields and fertile fields.
Of course, from Zhong Fan¡¯s perspective, as long as it is something that benefits the country and the people, he is willing to do it.
It has been a while since he came here. He has carefully inspected various sections of the Jingjiang River and agreed with Yang Yiqing's point of view. If the Jingjiang River section can be managed well, the large area and land around it will become fertile. The fields are enough to benefit the Hanyang and Jiujiang areas in the lower reaches.
"Be a guide?"
"But I don't understand anything."
强牺 baolaixsw.com 读牺。 When Xiong Youdi heard this, it was instinctive Want to say no.
"No, you know where this section of the river is dangerous, fast and dangerous, that's enough."
"If this section of the Jingjiang River is healed, the surrounding large areas of land can be turned into fertile farmland. Wouldn't it also benefit the people of Huguang?"
"From now on, the Yangtze River will be dredged from here to the Songhu area where it exits to the sea, and dangerous areas will be rectified."
"When this project is completed, sea-going ships and large ships can sail directly to Jingjiang, which will greatly facilitate business and trade, and can also promote the development of our Huguang region."
Zhong Fan said with a smile.
"real?"
When Xiong Youdi heard this, his eyes widened slightly in disbelief.
This time .c*om Zhang Si. If this sea ship could come directly to Jingjiang, it would be completely different. Jingjiang would also have the same convenient water transportation as places like Songhu and Nanjing.
Songhu has become a new big city in the Ming Dynasty in more than ten years, second only to the imperial capital and Tianjin, and even surpassing Songhu.
Although Jingjiang cannot be compared with Songhu, after the river transportation is convenient, business transactions will become more convenient. In the future, it will be much easier for people in Huguang to go to Songhu, Nanyang and other places.
¡°And if this place can be managed well, then the entire Jingjiang area and the Hanzhong Plain area will not be worse than the Jiangnan area, and they can also become a land of plenty.
"Of course it is true. After a while, the imperial newspapers and newspapers will report it."
"In the future, railways will be built from Songhu to Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and finally to Huguang. Railways will also be built from Kaifeng, Henan to Hanyang. From now on, transportation will be much more convenient."
Zhong Fan nodded solemnly and said.
¡°Great, great!¡±
"We in Huguang should have built railways and dredged rivers long ago."
When Xiong Youdi heard this, he immediately became happy and excited. He could imagine that the transportation in Huguang area would become very convenient in the future.
??The Yangtze River, railway transportation, and highways, and its geographical location is in the central area. People can go south to north, east to west, and the geographical location is very good.
Control the big one and control the owl. "Since you have a destiny and are doing good things for us in Huguang, I should do my best. If you have any questions, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never delay it. We Huguang people will also give our full support. of!"
"Haha, that's great. With the help of the old gentleman, we will be more confident."
