Jin Yi asked again: Who is in charge of You Licheng now?
Who can open a weir to drain water?
The city of Youli City was not well guarded and controlled, and the court was angry with Xiahou Xin and said that it was the three princes who were now in charge of Youli City.Little general, you are friendly with the three princes and help the people of Xianmen!
The author has something to say: Yue Lianlou: Every word I say is a flag.The palace waist is curled with green pine, and the blushing condensation is coquettish: they come from two words.Some people don't learn and use it indiscriminately.On the night of the confrontation in Chapter 84, Jin Yi took Chen Shuang, Xiahou Xin and two retinues, and the five of them left Xianmen City on horseback, headed north, and rushed to Youli City.You Junshan and Yue Lianlou did not go with them.Yue Lianlou lost his temper because of this, Zhang Mo was trapped in Youli City, and he had to go.Jin Yu spent a lot of effort to persuade Yue Lianlou that he and You Junshan stayed in Xianmen in case of emergency.What's the need for from time to time?
That is, in case of dissuasion, when Cen Rong insists on opening the floodgates, the two can cooperate with the people of Mingye Hall to transfer the people in the city together.Jin Yi and Mingyetang were not familiar with the details of Dingshan Weir, and after Xiahou Xin's explanation, everyone knew that this matter was not trivial.Youli City is along the same coast of Shenshui, and it is the only place for Liang Jing to go to Xianmen City.Dingshan weir was built more than 300 years ago, is a dam across Shenshui and Shenshui tributary Mu River, legend has it that this dam is guarded by thirteen town water beasts, it took 30 years to build, more than 10,000 dead and wounded strong soldiers.Since the spring of this year, there have been frequent heavy rains, and the water levels of the Liexing River and Shenshui have skyrocketed, and now they have overflowed the embankment, and the low-lying places in Youli City have been flooded.Because the Dingshan weir has been too long, there have been several fine cracks, and it is inevitable to open the gate and discharge the flood.Two flood outlets are designed for Dingshan Weir, one in Shenshui and one in Muhe.If the flood outlet of Shenshui is opened, the downstream of Shenshui, which is also suffering from flooding, will be wiped out.In the early years of the Dayu Dynasty, there were also such natural disasters.At that time, the Dingshan weir was opened to discharge the flood, and more than 300,000 displaced people were forced to leave their hometowns.In the summer of that year, a plague broke out in the Shenshui Basin, killing and injuring tens of thousands of people.Yue Lianlou, who was listening impatiently, couldn't help but ask: Since this is the case, I can't do anything.Even if the entire Xianmen people are withdrawn, what about the cities outside the Xianmen?
In order to show his sincerity, Xiahou Xin invited the protector of the Wentian Sect, the Heavenly Priest of the Northern Regions, and the people of the Seven Sects and Nine Sects in the city to Jin Yi.As the guardian of Xianmen, he asked everyone to use the influence of the Seven Sects and Nine Sects in the vicinity of Xianmen, especially in the Shenshui Valley, to persuade the believers to leave their hometowns for the time being and take refuge in high places.In Xianmen City, if the Ming Night Hall and the officials begin to transfer the people, everyone should not stand idly by, and it is the best policy to work together.Yue Lianlou was very displeased, but he had to stay, although he was noisy, he turned his head and went to arrange to notify the various branches.For a time, countless feathered birds took off in rain and scattered into the sky in all directions.When the five people left, it was only raining lightly in Xianmen, and they hurried slowly, and the night passed, and the sky was as dark as ink in the early morning, and the heavy rain was pouring in the mountain road, and they could not move forward.After barely marching for a while, he encountered a rockfall again.Chen Shuang asked Jin Yi and Xiahou Xin to rest, and he took the two fierce entourages to clear the debris on the road.Jin Yi and Xiahou Xin waited under the tree, the ground was full of leaves washed down by the rain, and it was a layer of green and fluffy.The rain poured down wildly, and the hats thundered.Jin Yi frowned tightly, didn't say a word, and saw Xiahou Xin turn to face him.Little General, why don't you ask us if we have found the details of those killers on our birthday?
Jin Yi didn't expect Xiahou Xin to ask this sentence, his face remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly: If you find it, you will find it, if you can't find it, you can't find it, I don't pay attention to this matter.Why not?
What do you think, Lord Xiahou?
Jin Yi asked rhetorically.Xiahou Xin was silent for a moment, and then asked: I never figured it out, you are a member of the Three Princes, you should know that my mentor is Taishi Liang.Why did I invite you to the backyard of the Meditation Hall, and you didn't have the slightest suspicion, but you really went with me?
I doubted it.Jin Yi said frankly, but I thought you were someone from the Heavenly Sect.It was the birthday of the sect leader of the Asking Heaven Sect, if Xiahou Xin was a believer in the Asking Heaven Sect, or an extremely important person in the Asking Heaven Sect, there was no need for him to harm Jin Yi on the territory of the Asking Heaven Sect.Jin Yi was brought to Xianmen City by the third prince, and even met Xiahou Xin under the introduction of Cen Rong.If he died in the territory of the Heavenly Sect, how could the Heavenly Sect get out of it?
Liang Jing has many rumors, saying that the three princes have a blue eye for Jin Yi, saying that Jin Yi and the three princes have an inexplicable relationship, if Jin Yi is really asking Tianzong to cultivate the heart of the heart hall, I am afraid that Cen Rong will uproot the Tianzong Sect.All inferences are based on the fact that Xiahou Xin is a person who asks Tianzong, and he will act in consideration of the safety of Tianzong.Jin Yi said: Ziwang is short-sighted.Ask how a folk sect like Tianzong could have a great deal to do with the imperial court officials.No matter who Lord Xiahou's mentor is, no matter what conflict of interest you and I have, Lord Xiahou will never do anything stupid.Xiahou Xin bowed: Little general, I just took you to the backyard, and I don't know anything else.Jin Yi didn't say that he believed it, nor did he say that he didn't believe it, and after a moment of silence, he provoked a new topic.Lord Xiahou, you will come and beg me for help, this is really beyond my expectations.He said, "You know who I am, and you know what grievances you and I have."
When you come to ask me, are you not afraid that I will refuse?
Or I went to Youli City, but I just wanted to say something bad in front of Cen Rong and get pregnant with your big thing.Xiahou Xin raised his head and looked directly at Jin Yi.He is old enough for Jin Yi to call him an uncle, I don't know if he is too tired or worried, a person in his forties and fifties looks like a sixtieth year.The little general is the child of General Zhongzhao, before coming to Xianmen, he and the three princes had such a big incident in Liangjing, Sheng Keliang was demoted and exiled, Changlu Temple and the Criminal Department changed hands, most of Liangjing's money and money disappeared, and how many people who sold their wives and beards were able to get out of trouble and breathe.I came to the little general, because I was sure that a person like the little general who is upright and bright, and has the world in his heart, can help me and is willing to help me.Jin Yi had mixed feelings in his heart.His father was disgraced, but he was ruined and died tragically on the battlefield; And now the person who indirectly killed Jin Mingzhao came to ask for help because of his own light.How ironic!
He smiled coldly and said, "Lord Xiahou values me so much, it really makes Ziwang panic."
Ziwang didn't expect that you would be willing to beg the third prince for the people of Xianmen so desperately.Of the six ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee, only the Ministry of Industry is still in the hands of Liang Anchong.The Ministry of Industry manages water conservancy, and if the Dingshan weir collapses and the sinking water suffers, the Ministry of Industry will inevitably take responsibility.This is the consequence that Cen Rong is happy to see, so his goals are inconsistent with Xiahou Xin: Cen Rong hopes that something will happen to Shen Shui, but Xiahou Xin wants to save people.It was raining like a pour, and the thunder was rolling.A complicated gaze flashed in Xiahou Xin's eyes, and it took a long time to look directly into Jin Yi's eyes.His tentative, cautious demeanor and tone were gone, replaced by a strange generosity.To save Xianmen is to save myself.I have been an official in the court for more than ten years, and I have countless peers and disciples, dogs and sons-in-law who are officials in the court, and they are all inextricably linked with the people in the court.This connection used to protect me, but it could destroy me in the future.If I fall, how many disasters will befall me, and the little general is not in the court, so I can't imagine at all.Xiahou Xin said that this is one of them.Second, the little general, in the eyes of those who wield power in Liang Jing, robbing the army of rations and breaking the embankment are just means to defeat dissidents.You did, you are their man; You don't do it, you're the one on the other side.Sometimes you only have two paths, left and right, and you can't stand in the middle.But how innocent are the people of Changliang City and Xianmen City?
Who doesn't have parents or brothers?
Who doesn't have a career in their life?
Who doesn't spare his life and doesn't want to live in peace?
The world is like frying, and the world is soup.Only the people of Li have no choice, whatever comes down from the sky is what it is.As an official of the imperial court, I am also an official of the parents of the people, and only I can stand in the way of them.Jin Yi was slightly surprised in his heart.He didn't expect Xiahou Xin to think like this.Once the Dingshan weir bursts, no one in the downstream of Shenshui will be spared.However, the imperial court has not yet issued any general documents, and the city guards of Zhucheng dare not move, only Xiahou Xin, who has disobeyed the holy will and has the support of Liang Taishi, dares to make the decision to transfer the people in the city.Lord Xiahou seems to want to block it with his body?
Jin Yi asked with a hint of banter and ridicule.I was prepared not to do both.Xiahou Xin paused for a moment, as if he couldn't help it, and finally said directly about the looting of military rations by the refugees in Changliang City.Little General, you may think that Changliang will be able to eat the disaster relief food in a few more days, but do you know that the disaster relief food should have arrived in Changliang a month ago?
Who stopped it?
Who's doing it?
I didn't know at the time, and I didn't have time to speculate on the true meaning.The relief grain has been delayed, there is not a single grain of rice in Changliang City, and even the granary of the richest man in the city is full of wheat husks.There were also garrisons in Changliang City, and the garrison's rations could not be mobilized according to the law.Do you know that it was I who held my sword and knelt down and pleaded to let the defenders provide food for disaster relief?
The more Xiahou Xin spoke, the more excited he became, and later, there was really nothing to eat in the city.My grandson is young, what does he eat?
He eats grass roots and bark.What do I eat?
Eat snow water.You think that the food is just late, but every day, hundreds of people die in Changhe.If there are old fathers and mothers, poor and weak children in the family, do you really think that Yi Zi and eat it is just a legend?
Such a human tragedy is unfolding in front of my eyes.It snowed heavily every day, and there were corpses under the snow.If the corpses are not removed, the beginning of spring will be a great epidemic, and how many people will die because of it at that time?
Little general, if you were me, how would you choose?
His eyes were red and slightly tearful, and his chest heaved with rapid speech.Jin Yi was truly shocked by everything Xiahou Xin said.He had never seen a disaster, and his impression of the disaster was that after the flood outside the city of Fenghu, his father took him to see how people rebuilt their hometown.But all kinds of misery in the disaster have always existed only on paper, and they have never been so directly let go in front of his eyes.He couldn't help but think of the woman who jumped from the upstairs after dressing up and singing songs on the day the Bishan League was signed.All kinds of death in the world are just one death in the final analysis, but thousands of kinds of pain before death are all caused by the tragedy of life.His heart shook and he couldn't help but clench his fists.What he saw was Xiahou Xin surging the victims to grab food, but he didn't know that there was such a thing behind it.Snatching military rations, this matter is true, I dare to do it, I dare to do it.Xiahou believed, as long as I can save the people under my jurisdiction and block them with my body, why not?
The little general thinks it's ridiculous that I have come to beg you, but this thing is indeed very common in my place.Jin Yi nodded.The wind and rain came to his face, and he subconsciously held the deer's head at his waist.The icy deer's head lay in his palm, and he calmed down.Impassioned and impressive.Jin Yi said, but Lord Xiahou, you don't have to snatch all the military rations.Xiahou Xin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed slowly.The louder he laughed, the louder he became, attracting the frequent sideways glances of Chen Shuang not far away.I made such a statement, you can still make him not angry, just look at Jin Yi, what a powerful, such a steady heart, little general.Jin Yi's head: My lord's praise.He believed that Xiahou Xin had to grab military rations in order to save the people of Changliang.However, the interception of all the military rations in Changliang City was in line with the wishes of Taishi Liang.The same thing, he did the latter one, one is to relieve the whole city, which is a great merit, and the other is to contribute to Liang Taishi's seizure of the military power of the Northwest Army, which is his own interests.Jin Yi said in his heart, Xiahou Xin did things so beautifully, and said it generously and righteously, which was really cunning and rare.Xiahou Xin laughed and said: The little general knows that I am complicated, why do you want to go with me?
Jin Yi chuckled: Lord Xiahou wants to save the people of Xianmen, and I also want to save the people in the lower reaches of Shenshui.You and I have the same goal, and we are naturally on the same path.Chen Shuang and the others cleaned up the debris on the road, and everyone rode on the road again, and after running for two nights, the horses were so tired that they couldn't take a step, so they had to stop and rest.Chen Shuang and Xiahou Xin sat together on the fire, chatting somehow.He asked Xiahou Xin, since he knew that the Dingshan weir had caused a catastrophe due to the opening of the weir and the discharge of floods before, why did he not simply transfer the people to flee now that the heavy rain level had risen sharply for several days?
Wouldn't it be better to plan ahead?
Xiahou Xin put down the jerky in his hand and said seriously: You are a ranger in the rivers and lakes, and you may not know much about the things in this land.There is a saying that the people of Li will depend on the place where they live, and they will depend on the place where they live.Do you think that escaping is as simple as rolling up a sheet?
dragging children and daughters, carrying the old and supporting the young, busy and chaotic.If you leave your hometown and go elsewhere, how will you live?
It is not easy to survive without the land for those who farm and the goods for those who open shops.If they can't survive, they will be looted, burned, and killed, and the people will be dissatisfied.Therefore, the city guards will not let the people evacuate until they have to, and likewise, no city is willing to accept refugees from outside.He sighed: How difficult it is to mourn the people's livelihood.Chen Shuang nodded again and again when she heard this, and when she turned around and saw Jin Yi, she was extremely sincere: Xiahou Xin is a good official, not like a bad person.Jin Yi was surprised: Do you know again?
Chen Shuang: How well he said.Jin Yi said with a smile: Although you often follow Yue Lianlou, your temperament is still so pure, interesting and interesting.Chen Shuang: Being said like this by someone younger than me, I don't feel good in my heart.Jin Yi: I'm complimenting you.Chen Shuang was skeptical.After another day, everyone finally arrived in Youli City.The terrain of Youli City is higher, and before you reach the city gate, you can see a magnificent embankment across the Shenshui, and you can't even see the whole picture in the rain and fog.A crack opened in the floodway on the embankment, and muddy yellow water gushed out.When he got close to Youli City, Jin Yi realized that what Xiahou Xin said was true, and Youli City was not lightly affected.At the city gate, the water had reached the horses' hooves.The author has something to say: yesterday a reader asked whether there was really a situation in ancient times where the floodgates were opened without notifying the downstream.In ancient times, information transmission was very, very backward, and in addition to the big cities, there were many towns and villages on the outer edge of the big cities, and it was basically impossible to notify all the places before the flood was discharged.And flood discharge is often done to save certain places.In the minds of many administrators in ancient times, the people were not the primary consideration.Interested readers can search for the keyword Fushan Weir, the flood incident in this article is designed with reference to some characteristics of Fushan Weir, such as two floodways.After the completion of the Fushan weir, the water level in the upstream skyrocketed, and the downstream was affected after the embankment burst, and the death toll was very large, it is a water conservancy project that should not be built, and the interesting thing is that it is now a cultural relic.Speaking of the recent 18-year-old Shandong Shouguang flood disaster incident, I don't know if you still have an impression, thousands of pigs were washed away, farmland was seriously damaged, and the economic loss was very, very large.I remember that Shouguang was after the flood was discharged, and the amount of water greatly exceeded expectations, resulting in the inability to deal with it.During the epidemic this year, Shouguang villagers donated many materials and vegetables to Hubei, which was really not easy.Chapter 85 Kaiyan Chen Shuang sent Jin Yi all the way to Cen Rong's place, and when he saw the familiar soldiers greeting Jin Yi, he said goodbye to Jin Yi and went to find Zhang Mo.Knowing that Jin Yi was coming, Cen Rong was very happy, he almost trotted out of the courtyard, and he didn't care about other people, and opened his arms to hug Jin Yi.Jin Yi exchanged a few words with him and got straight to the point: How do you deal with the matter of Dingshan Weir?
The joy was gone, and Cen Rong's face sank: You are also here to do this?
Only then did he see Xiahou Xin behind Jin Yi: Lord Xiahou.Jin Yi and Xiahou Xin had no intention of confronting him, and after sitting down, they kept asking him how he planned to solve the problem of Dingshan Weir and how to resettle more than 100,000 people in the lower reaches of Shenshui.The Dingshan weir is now discharging a small amount of floodwater, but the higher upstream Youli City has been flooded, and the situation cannot be delayed.Dingshan Weir has two floodways of Shenshui and Mu River, and the floodway of Mu River can be solved by opening the floodway of Mu River.What do the three princes think?
Xiahouxin said that in addition, the floodway of the Mu River is relatively narrow, and I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the impact of this large water, so it needs to be strengthened immediately.What measures can the three princes take?
Cen Rong only answered one question: the Mu River is too narrow, and once the Mu River is used to discharge floods, all the land in the Mu River basin will suffer.If the weir is opened rashly, the Mu River floodway may not be able to support it.We have commanded reinforcement.
