is different from Wan Zhang, a thief in Chang'an City, Guo Weng Zhong is a typical sword ranger, and he is still a well-known countryman.Guo Wengzhong's ancestral home is Xihe County, and he moved to Zuo Feng Yi Lian Spoon County in the previous generation, and the reason why he moved was because his father was requisitioned to participate in a major project of Zuo Feng Yi during the Xiaowu period: Longshou Canal.He said to the robes: "When my father was alive, he chattered with me many times, saying that during the period of filial piety and Yuanjiao, someone wrote to the Son of Heaven and proposed to open a canal to divert Luo water to irrigate the east of Chongquan, which can irrigate thousands of hectares of fertile land. ”The Han Dynasty ruled Guanzhong, and the most important thing to do was to repair canals, in addition to maintaining the Zhengguo Canal, Xiaowu years and built six auxiliary canals, white canals and so on.Sanfu water conservancy is vertical and horizontal, and the people are spared, so the song says: "Zheng Guo is in front, and Baiqu is behind."
Lift the clouds and break the ditch for the rain.Jingshui is a stone, and its mud is several buckets.And irrigated and dung, grow my corn.Food and clothing, the mouth of billions. ”At that time, the minds were open-minded, the officials were bold, and all kinds of whimsical ideas emerged one after another, such as Zhang Anshi's younger brother Zhang Wei was punctual in Hanzhong, and he planned to build a canal to open Hanzhong and Guanzhong in the Baoxian Valley.And the Longshou Canal is also a product that could only be born in that era: because the ditch has to pass through Shangyan Mountain, the mountain is more than 40 zhang high, all of which are covered with loess, and the deep ditch is easy to collapse, so the well canal construction method is used instead.Guo Weng pointed to the work they were doing right now and said: "Just like us, dig a well first, this is more than ten zhang deep is nothing, and the Longshou Canal is more than forty zhang deep!"
Even dug out the keel, the well is connected to the ditch to carry water, in order to eliminate the appearance of business, so it is called the well canal. ”At the beginning, more than 10,000 people took more than ten years to complete the repair, but after the Longshou Canal was repaired, the effect was not very good."
You ranger has a bit of knowledge."
The canal ruler from Dunhuang County came over, and he said that this canal is called "Hundred Eyes String Well" in Hexi, which was brought to Hexi by the craftsmen who had repaired the Longshou Canal, and it was very suitable for Dunhuang.Because the local vegetation is sparse, if it is an open channel, I don't know how much the water will be steamed away into the farmland, and there is a lot of underground undercurrent, so the water is taken in front of the mountain with a well canal, transported to the vicinity of crops, and then flows out through the mouth of the nullah.And now, it is used by Ren Du to protect the driver.At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the sun is scorching, the water evaporates a lot, and the sand collapses, and the wells and canals can collect the snow water that seeps into the underground soil layer and irrigate thousands of hectares of land.This is simply a tailor-made technology for the driver, under the Flaming Mountain, water is the most precious resource, is the nectar that the driver depends on for survival, and it is not too much to spend manpower to operate.Because Guo Wengzhong's family was near the Longshou Canal, and his parents were more involved in it, and they were familiar with this method, the canal officials wanted to promote him to be a team leader and teach the rangers how to dig underground.Guo Weng promised and behaved extremely deferentially, which made several people who knew him very strange.Since Sanfu Dasuo Ranger, he originally had a violent temperament, and Guo Wengzhong, who was rampant in the township, seemed to have changed as a person."
Brother Guo, you look like a chivalrous and evil boy, but you look like a good family who knows etiquette."
Guo Weng smiled helplessly, but he didn't dare to tell them about his hardships."
The person who beat the Son of Heaven in the lotus spoon back then was me!"
A few years ago, Guo Wengzhong was still a townsman in Luzhong Township, Lianshui County, and one day he took his companions to call friends and make trouble, but he was reprimanded by a young man from Chang'an who traveled to Longshou Canal nearby, saying that he was a villain.So Guo Wengzhong, who was furious, gathered his brothers and beat the young ranger to a good beating!
The young man was only fourteen or fifteen years old, although he was good at kung fu, but his swordsmanship was actually average, not as good as Guo Wengzhong, seeing that they were outnumbered, they could only run.Probably because of the ancestral kung fu, the boy ran very fast, and everyone else was thrown off, but Guo Weng Zhong chased after him, and even shot arrows at the young man with a bow!
The first time the young man saw this kind of scene, he was also frightened, and shouted that he was the emperor's great-grandson who was sick, and asked him not to make a mistake.As a result, Guo Weng Zhong laughed: "If you are the great-grandson of the emperor, then I am the crown prince and your father!"
”In the end, the young man still ran away, Guo Wengzhong almost forgot about it, fighting cocks and dogs all day long, bullying people, until the new emperor succeeded to the throne, when he heard that "the emperor's great-grandson was sick", Guo Weng Zhong was stunned, and he was so frightened that the melons he was eating fell off.Soon after, the severe crackdown on Sanfu Qingxia came, and Guo Wengzhong also suffered, and was locked up in the tiger's den by Zhao Guanghan, and life was better than death.He did not understand the law, but secretly inquired with people: "What is the crime of beating the princes and kings?"
”As a result, he was told: "The princes and kings are small-minded, and they will be killed and burned by them for no reason, and if they are offended, they will definitely die." ”If you beat the emperor, wouldn't it be a great rebellion to wipe out the three clans?
Guo Weng Zhong only felt that he was finished, every word he scolded back then, every punch he punched, could kill the whole family, he now has a wife and a daughter, the emperor suppressed the heroic and evil boy this time, maybe he was looking for him!
But to his surprise, when the Son of Heaven arrived, he did not mention the old grudge, let alone recognize him in the crowd, but announced an amnesty and told the light heroes: "You will travel with the Son of Heaven of the Han family!"
”Guo Weng Zhong cried with tears in his eyes on the spot, and since then he seems to have changed as a person, others can't stand the hardships and complains on the road, he only silently bows his head and moves forward against the wind and sand.After arriving at the Cheshi, some people muttered that the days were hard, which did not match the promise made by Captain Han on the road, they became a member of the Anxi Iron Army in name, but in fact they were still prisoners and were deceived into working, but Guo Weng Zhong had no complaints.He silently went down the well, dug the earth, moved the soil, and then relied on wooden baskets to transport the earth, and 5,000 people were gathered at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, first opening a two-mile-long well and canal as an experiment, and striving to complete it before the land froze.This is a very tiring work, how can the light heroes suffer this crime, complaints are everywhere, what swims from the Son of Heaven, what curses put aside the old sins, Yu Zi is reborn, it is not as desirable as letting them rest for a day.Many people began to fish and be lazy under the well and canal, but Guo Weng Zhong did not stop his work and vowed: "I want to become a hero for the country and the people, and then at the banquet in Weiyang Palace, I will be honest with the Son of Heaven about the things of the year." ”And when he pulled a basket of heavy earth up and down the well and passed it back, when he looked up, he found that the person who took the basket was unusual, and although he was also wearing a short coat for work, he was wearing a crown of cranes.After Guo Wengzhong saw this person clearly, he was immediately stunned: "Dadu Hu, why are you here!"
”The young men of light chivalry and evil have a bad temperament, otherwise they would not have fallen to this point, their laziness and complaining, just whipping is not very effective, but Ren Du escorted the military officials to also participate in the work, and it was curbed.But I saw Ren Hong roll up his sleeves, roll up his legs, and take the lead to dig up the well, and his horse that is said to be qualified to chew fresh grapes also got into the car and pulled Tuzhen for a trip, and then went back to the shack to chew alfalfa.However, Ren Duhu still comes to the construction site from time to time, and Captain Han Dangdang is more able to carry two large baskets of soil and walk like flying.So the enthusiasm of the light heroes rose again, digging and digging, shoveling and shoveling, and they were in full swing."
It's a pity that Captain Sun of the Iron Gate didn't come, he is a good dealer, so he has a good hand."
Ren Hong also worked with the light chivalrous and evil teenagers in the same food and clothing, joked with them, and ate the same grape naan, but Guo Weng didn't know that after Ren Hong went back, he opened a small stove with the officers, and there was no shortage of wine and meat, which was equivalent to eating more than the soldiers.However, Wan Zhang saw the clue from the lips of the military officials who followed Ren Hong: "There is especially oil on the lips, I'm afraid I came when I was full." ”But he learned a lesson and didn't say it directly, those who work hard, bother, three meals a day, and their two meals a day are different after all.It's just that Wan Zhang hopes that one day he can become a meat eater who eats three meals a day.Fortunately, Ren Duhu promised that if he could complete the two-mile-long short canal before December, he would slaughter the cattle and sheep, and reward everyone for the few cattle in the Western Regions, and it is impossible for adult cattle to domesticate their farmland, which is more difficult than teaching trees, and it is the best choice for old cattle to kill and eat meat.This made the light men more energetic, and the drought-stricken charioteer also ushered in the heavy snow, froze the land and water, dug a two-mile well canal, and on the day of completion, the clear water flowed out of the culvert under the hill, and the water was transported to the fields in front of the mountain through the nullah, which made everyone cheer.It was the day when the Che Shi Wang Junsu and the Che Shi Xiang Su Yu all came to celebrate, and the Che Shi people were driving cattle and sheep, although they didn't understand why the Han people were so tossed, but since Ren Dadu was able to protect the gods and soldiers to capture Jiaohe, maybe there were other abilities?
Ren Hong kept his promise, not only let the light heroes eat the long-lost meat, but also personally went down, roasted the whole sheep, the skillful sprinkling technique, at a glance is an expert, and the slaughter of the meat he also did it himself, this work is sacred and noble for the Han people who are accustomed to social sacrifices, and it cannot be done by those who are not highly respected.The roast lamb is fragrant, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and everyone wants to get a piece, but few people eat it in the end.Guo Weng was lucky, grabbed a piece of sheepskin and hurriedly stuffed it into his mouth, the entrance was crispy, and the roasted mutton fat was sticky.Although he was also well-off in his hometown and could often eat meat, he felt that it was a delicacy that he had never tasted in his life.After all, it was the reward of their first hard work."
What about Naigong's meat, it's still in his hand just now, why is it gone?"
And a lucky person who grabbed the sheep's ribs shouted, looking left and right, full of doubts, maybe it was crowded?
On the other end, Wan Zhang, who was thin and small, came out, grabbed a juicy lamb rib in his hand, and gnawed it with a smile.Although most people can't eat the sheep roasted by their own hands, the hand pilaf that is still hungry is also a delicacy in the world for the heavy task of more than a month.And Ren Hong looked at this scene with only some emotion.5,000 chariot masters and 5,000 chivalrous and evil teenagers dug a short canal of two Han li and less than one kilometer in a month.And how long was the qanats in Xinjiang in later generations?
There are more than 1,000 in total, with a total length of 5,000 kilometers!
For more than 1,000 years, whenever the farming was slack, the local people would knock on the rocks and reclaim the soil, and it was cultivated little by little.It is not to conquer nature, but to transform it and live in harmony with it.The snow water given to Turpan by the Tianshan Mountains is limited, and there is no need to choose whether to let it evaporate and waste in the desert, or to make the most of every drop of water.The harsh environment is like the majestic Wangwu Mountain, the Han army made the most difficult beginning, and the rest will be handed over to the Cheshi himself, and he really has to have the spirit of Yugong to move mountains.Exhausting a generation, the results that can be achieved may not be large, but the children and grandchildren are infinitely scarce, each generation digs a ditch, and after a hundred years, it can be exchanged for a plug in the south of the Yangtze River!
At this time, after discussing with the driver, the king of the driver and the driver discussed each other, and held the wine bottle to pay tribute to the meat of the mutton just roasted, and the hand was greasy, and the mouth was sycophant: "All protect this canal for the driver, and the driver dare not forget, this canal should be named Daoyuan Canal, so that the children and grandchildren of the people of the driver will always remember to protect the kindness." ”Ren Hong took the wine, but he didn't drink it, but found a high place to stand up, and let Han Dare roar to help him attract the attention of all the light and evil boys."
As the saying goes, draught does not forget to dig wells!
The driver shouldn't forget, but it wasn't me who dug the first well and ditch, it was you and other light men from the Han Dynasty. ”He lifted the bottle and saluted everyone."
Therefore, this canal should be called Xia Erjing!"
was praised by Ren Daduhu, which made the light chivalrous and evil teenagers a little fluttery, feeling that they had changed from a "villain" to a good hero for the country and the people, and if they worked hard, they would be heroes per capita.However, their situation has not changed much, and they have only rested for a few days, and they are alive again.However, this time it is not to open a ditch and farm, but to train the queue and bow skills."
Sun Ziyun, fighting without teaching is called killing!
And most of them have a word, sweat more today, and shed less blood in wartime!
”It was the captain Xi Chongguo who trained them, which was completely opposite to Han Dangdang's General Li's laissez-faire style of leading the art of war, Xi Chongguo learned that Cheng did not know, did not smile, and the army orders were very strict, which made the light chivalrous and evil teenagers a little uncomfortable, but they were still forced to divide the formation in the cold outdoors when the weather was good, teach the five soldiers, and learn to distinguish between the two soldiers.Most of them have never been soldiers, and they have even escaped from service, but there is individual bravery, but collective cooperation is not at all, which is also the purpose of Ren Hongxian to let them dig wells and canals, and collective work can practice some tacit understanding.This group of people also likes to talk and laugh, and they think very highly of themselves after picking up weapons, but in Xi Chongguo's opinion, they are all wild people, and their fighting skills are from Shelley in fights, and it is okay to play with each other, and they are useless when they go into battle.Xi Chongguo took out those thorns one by one, threw a sword to his peers to fight against him, and in a few rounds, everyone was looking for teeth all over the ground.They were able to convince this captain, and they heard that he had sent a message for thousands of miles and was unconscious, and he was stubbornly guarding the iron gate to eat Hulu meat and drink the blood of the Huns, so they were in awe.After practicing for a few days, Xi Chongguo couldn't help but complain to Ren Hong: "Du Hu, these chivalrous and evil young men are far inferior to the good families of the six counties, and they are not even as good as the recruited people. ”Although none of the people have received formal training, or even lift a sword, at least they are obedient and easy to train, and the light heroes are like flying birds, with all kinds of thoughts."
If the son of the good family of the six counties is a warrior of Wei, if the conscription of the soldiers is practiced, he can also be the sharp warrior of Qin, but this group of light warriors, Qi's skills hit the ears, the small enemy is stealing, and the big enemy is strong, if the bird is a soldier, it is a soldier who has died of the country, and he really wants to use his generation to deal with the Huns?"
Ren Hong also wants a lot of conscripts from the six counties and the eight classics, but the population of the six counties is so large, and the conscripts are too far away, so they can only use the light chivalrous and evil boys as the main force, and make do with it, the Western Regions is a melting pot, smelting scrap iron into a sharp blade!
So Ren Hong said with a smile: "The attack is insufficient, but the code is more than enough, the permanent deputy has taken people to strengthen the cities of Beiting, and the mountain pass of the south division has built the Great Wall for more than ten miles." ”The Xiongnu will not give up Beiting easily, although the right Xianwang suffered heavy losses in the last war, he has been licking his wounds for the past two years, and he will definitely come back to find a field in the coming year.But because the Western Regions are too far away for the core of both sides, the distance from Shan Yuting to here is not closer than Chang'an.From the first confrontation in Loulan, the Han-Hun competition in the Western Regions is like a turn-based game, last time because of the desire to destroy Wusun, the main forces of the two sides happened to collide together, and the rest of the time, it was the enemy who retreated and I advanced, and I retreated and the enemy advanced, slowly seesawing and seesawing."
The Han Dynasty wants to recuperate, the imperial court will not send troops easily in the first year, and we have also established a foothold in Cheshi and Beiting, and next, it will be the turn of the Huns to do it."
As soon as the winter passes, it will be the first three years, and they may face a new crisis when they are alone outside the territory, this war game that has lasted for one hundred and three years is indeed too long, Ren Hong couldn't help yawning, and laughed at himself: "I really hope that after the next round, I can end and go to sleep." ”
