Time went back seven and a half years ago, when Bo Yi collapsed the Dalong Mountain and blocked the Dahe River. The flooding from the Western Wilderness Plateau was blocked by the Dalong Mountain on the south bank of the Dahe River and the Helan Mountain on the north bank, forming a huge weir.
The Saihu and Jinwu Kingdom destroyed the country, and the Huando tribe suffered heavy losses. Even Boyi's own tribe had more than 200 people died, but it bought half a year for the downstream.
This half year is just a rough approximate number. While each tribe is trying to transfer the population and various materials, the left-behind personnel can persist until after the autumn harvest, and then complete the migration in time with the new grain harvested in that year. The whole world was summoned by Emperor Yao, the emperor.
At the meeting, we have already discussed what all the lords and kings should do.
In some matters, Emperor Yao, the Chinese emperor, may be more worried than Shaowu, because he can just call the kings of the world to discuss, and the rest of the matter needs to be handled and coordinated with each other. Previously, the imperial order and the covenant were executed.
More than 20 great and small kings, who were not powerful, have been killed by Bo Yi.
It was at this meeting of the kings that Bo Yi handed over the divine bow and was punished to return to the clan to think about his mistakes.
Although Emperor Yao seemed worry-free, he was not as efficient as Bayuan to execute the government orders in this way. Fortunately, Lord Chonghua was in the middle and coordinated, Chongbogu led the people to control the water on the front line, and Danzhu replaced Boyi.
Their duties are clear when inspecting and supervising all regions.
In the six months that Bo Yi has won the downstream, in addition to coordinating the affairs of various departments, Lord Chonghua also focused on doing another thing, which was to build a new city at the foot of Zhongtiao Mountain, a hundred miles away from the imperial capital Pingyang.
This city was called Bocheng, and later it was also called Puyang City after being expanded.
In half a year, of course, it was not time to build a new city, but Chongqing Hua did not require the entire city to be completely built immediately. Just like Shaowu’s idea of building Yingtian City in Bayuan, we should temporarily open a large camp.
Transfer all the important materials in the surrounding area here, and then try to build more residences based on the camp, and then cultivate the countryside to the periphery.
This new city is built on the gentle slope of the southern foot of Zhongtiao Mountain. It is backed by its towering main peak and its location is very important. It is located on the south side of the river and can monitor the water conditions at any time; looking at the Central Plains in the east, it is the land of China.
The core area; to the north, it can also be connected to the remnants of Taihang and Wangwu, which is convenient for connecting large areas that cannot be flooded.
Chonghua opened a camp according to the plan to build a large city. He first sent his father and half-brother to settle here. Then, many important tribes that were flooded in the Central Plains moved their tribes to
The surrounding area was placed. When the city block just turned out to be in its infringement, a flood came.
The time when Bo Yi collapsed and blocked the flood was five and a half months to be exact. If all the places followed the orders of Emperor Yao and Chonghua, they would start to transfer materials in advance, and then they would immediately move after the autumn harvest, and it would be time to go.
But like Bayuan, various Chinese tribes also experienced various unexpected situations. Some Bojun even lost control of each branch tribe in the chaos. There were still many people stranded in the flooded area, and there were also so-called bandits.
And the rebels, and others were slow to move. They always wanted to wait and see during the migration process, and did not forget to plunder the wealth left by others along the way.
Chongbogu released the Xirang Divine Pearl on the Bayuan, and more than 10,000 people died downstream. The flood in the lower reaches of the river suddenly arrived, and more than 30,000 people died on the spot.
If Bo Yi had not collapsed Dalong Mountain at the beginning, so many people would have died downstream, even if there were more, there would have been nowhere to go. Because the tribes had started to migrate two months ago, and later I heard that they still had
After half a year, many people went back. As for those who had not moved to the safe zone in time in the end, most of them were disobedient or deliberately wait and see and delay.
But no matter what, Bo Yi finally bought so much time for the downstream, so that all the troops in the world had time to make more preparations. The reason why the flood came so rapidly was not that the water level of the damstorm slowly spread across the mountains.
At the pass, an earthquake suddenly occurred in the local area, and several weak parts of the mountain range collapsed and the water suddenly surged down.
In this case, the flood will certainly not go through the original river, which is quite unexpected. Most of Huando's villages east of Dalong Mountain were destroyed by mountain torrents rushing down from high places. Even Boyi
The tribe was also destroyed several villages and lost hundreds of people.
Earthquakes caused landslides and floods surged under the Central Plains. For the world, it was just the beginning of a long suffering. Seven years have passed, and the flood still showed no sign of subsidence. The river returns to the sea. If the water discharged exceeds the incoming water upstream, the water level will be
It gradually declines, this is what everyone understands.
However, the long rainy days continued, and the water volume of each river could not be discharged in time, so the flood did not subside, but it only fluctuated with the seasons, and the Central Plains was still a country of terror.
In the past seven years, Emperor Yao of the Emperor was in Pingyang City, and Pingyang City was surrounded by floods. The flood flooded under Pingyang City, which happened to be the base of the wall in summer, and retreated several miles in winter.
Of course, Emperor Yao stayed in Pingyang City and refused to leave. Of course, he had his considerations. Ba Jun Shaowu was in charge of Badu, stabilizing the hearts of the people in the entire Bayuan, and the emperor was in charge of the court, which was of course to appease the hearts of all tribes in the world and make everyone feel at ease.
.
If the flood really floods Pingyang City, Emperor Yao can move at any time by riding in the cloud chariot, but it just happened to be a little short of that. The flood only spreads outside the city. In this case, Emperor Yao will be in charge of the imperial capital and
Of course, it is difficult for the people of all ministries to overcome difficulties together.
However, the imperial capital Pingyang is an isolated city surrounded by floods, with land traffic cut off and external contacts inconvenient. Even if all the open spaces in the city and both sides of the roads are temporarily planted, it is not enough for the population gathered in the city.
Many people gradually moved elsewhere on boats and rafts. Even the food, cloth, daily necessities and other supplies in the imperial capital were later ordered by Chonghua to transport them from Bocheng on boats and rafts, which could ensure that the emperor and the city were placed.
There is no shortage of daily use and etiquette requirements for the powerful and noble.
Chonghua was originally responsible for the court and coordinated affairs of various departments in the world. In this case, it was extremely inconvenient to continue to stay in the imperial capital. He asked Emperor Yao for instructions and moved his headquarters to the Zhongtiao Mountain Camp, which was later Bocheng.
.
Lord Chonghua personally designed and presided over the construction of Bocheng. After more than seven years of careful construction, a new city has risen along the mountain. Outside the city is a large area of newly reclaimed farmland, and there are also many newly built villages distributed according to the terrain.
The site was selected on gentle slopes everywhere. The peak of the main peak of the Zhongtiao Shandong section was also flattened, becoming a place where Chonghua led the crowd to watch the water.
This thin city has now become the liaison center of all departments in the world, with tens of thousands of people gathering around it. Chonghua also ordered people to mine salt wells nearby.
In fact, as early as three years ago, when the city was built, Chonghua wrote a letter to Emperor Yao and asked the emperor to move to Bocheng. If Emperor Yao nodded, Chonghua would build an palace for the emperor in Bocheng, with the specifications equivalent to those in the imperial capital.
Palace. But Emperor Yao finally refused for various reasons, which also made many people feel relieved.
If Emperor Yao really did that, it would be like moving the capital temporarily. At this time, it would be very extravagant to move the capital to build a palace, which was really not a good choice. What's more, the situation in the world is gradually rising with public grievances.
Now seven years have passed, and the people's situation is getting more and more difficult. At that time, the grain in stocks of each city has already been eaten up, and almost all other supplies have been exhausted. Almost all the things needed are newly produced.
Chongbogu led people from all over the country to control the flood. Because the flood is now seasonal, it is mainly to build embankments and farms in places suitable for reclamation. First of all, we must ensure everyone's survival. Many people died from floods, and more
People actually die indirectly from injuries caused by fighting floods.
Only by keeping dry and warm, having enough food and clean drinking water can you maintain a healthy body. This has become common sense in the Shennong era. However, on the front line of water treatment, such conditions are not met, and people are constantly suffering from illness.
It is difficult to tell what is too long, but since the Emperor Yao came to power, the total population of all the tribes in the world has been growing slowly, and the number of cities and villages, and the scale of the fields they have opened are also growing continuously. However, this time
The flood directly led to a major regression.
After a one-time loss, the population has entered a slow negative growth state, and more importantly, the living environment is getting worse. Before the flood recedes, it is difficult to achieve fundamental improvement in the short term. People's patience is always limited, and the years are
There is no hope after a year, life is getting harder and harder, and the accumulated resentment will also break out.
Chongbogu has been drawing strong men from various tribes to the front line to manage water, building dikes and farming is the most arduous work, and the death rate of injuries and diseases is also the highest. No matter how high his reputation in various tribes in China has been, he cannot withstand it.
Such consumption.
At the beginning, the flood was strong, and everyone could still unite and dare not complain. However, after the water level stabilized, it only showed seasonal fluctuations, and gradually different sounds began to appear. Especially those who were not affected by the flood
For tribes, they had to demarcate territory to resettle other affected tribes, and they had to be pulled out by Chongbogu to control the flood, so of course they had some complaints.
As for those tribes that have been affected, they have endured so much suffering and need to vent their emotions. In the face of unstable floods, building embankments and farming on gentle slopes is also an extremely arduous work. We cannot expect everyone to do their best. It is inevitable that they will appear.
Those who are passive and lazy and sloppy will sometimes be destroyed by floods.
Chongbogu also showed a strong side at this time and ordered the killing to be punished without any mercy. Since he was a minister of China's flood control, Chongbogu must maintain order at this time and must have absolute authority.
He is also one of the four great war gods in China, and of course he is not sure that he can't kill people.
Chongbogu led the way, carried a long plow with his feet barefoot, and always stayed on the front line of flood control. He ate, lived and worked with the military and civilians, and also won the respect of many people. But on the other hand, not everyone could see it with their own eyes.
When they saw what Chongbogu was doing, they could feel the pain that they felt more. Gradually, there were more and more complaints and accusations against Chongbogugu.
If the flood control is not effective, the first thing to be criticized is of course Chongbogu, the minister who controls the water. Whether Chongbogu is really unable to control the water is another difficult question to explain clearly. If Chongbogu had not been effective, it would have been replaced by another person to control the water.
Or what would happen if Chongbogu simply didn’t? The people could not assume that there was nothing that really happened.
The fact that people have experienced is that the flood has not receded for many years and is in a difficult situation. The complaints and criticisms of Chongbogu are actually just venting public opinion. In such a terrible disaster, public opinion always needs to find a way to vent.
Not only Chongbogu, but also Emperor Yao, the emperor, also suffered a lot of accusations. Many people in many places even privately discussed that such a disaster was caused by the emperor's lack of virtue. Some people also pointed out that if they wanted to end the disaster.
The Emperor Yao, the Emperor, should apologize to heaven and take the initiative to abdicate to others.
I don’t know where this rumor came from. In that era, it was normal for the people to have such ideas. But in reality, Emperor Yao was in the lonely city, and the imperial capital Pingyang was surrounded by floods. It was really like
Punished by God.
Public grievances are inevitable, and there are many riots in various places, and conflicts and disputes are frequent between tribes. Danzhu inspects and supervises all departments in the world, and his duty is to timely appease the people and calm the riots. However, Danzhu cannot satisfy the people of the various departments.
Wishes and various requirements are not because of Danzhu’s incompetence, but because of reality. Suffering is a necessary experience, and he cannot solve all problems.
Things that Danzhu couldn't bear to be suppressed often would cause trouble to Chonghua again. When the heads of the tribes came to Bocheng, they all admired Chonghua very much. Today's Bocheng is simply an oasis in the desert, in the midst of disasters
A place where people can see hope for new life.
Sometimes, the conflict between the various departments could not be mediated, so they had to use a boat and raft to send them to the emperor Di Yao in Pingyang City to quarrel, and Di Yao was also very annoyed.
Just recently, Emperor Yao made two decisions. One was to call Chonghua to scold him, and then formally authorize Yu Chonghua to mediate and make judgments on behalf of the emperor for the conflicts of various ministries. If there is any problem, don't come to Pingyang City again.
Quarrels and dealings are not convenient. The second decision is to re-activate Boyi and let Boyi replace Danzhu to inspect and supervise all departments in the world and quell various conflicts and riots.
Emperor Yao wanted to re-activate Bo Yi, and probably heard some rumors, mainly about the emperor's failure to bring disaster to heaven and should abdicate others. This kind of argument may affect the heads of many tribes.
Emperor Yao didn't want the situation to worsen, so he wanted to send Boyi out again. At that time, Boyi had to take over the capitals of all the tribes in the world and obeyed.
Emperor Yao's first decision was very supportive. However, the second decision, except for Chongbogu and Danzhu, almost attracted unanimous opposition from the heads of the tribes. There was no good reason for opposition.
So he could only advise the emperor to consider it again and not to make a decision in a hurry. He also urged Chonghua to dissuade the emperor.
Chonghua then rushed to Pingyang, the imperial capital, to meet the emperor, and expressed his willingness to be a minister who controlled the water, and sent Chongbogu to inspect and supervise all departments in the world. The things that Boyi could do were also able to do, Chongbogu could do, but there was no need to do it.
At this time, the sudden activation of Bo Yi made all the kings in the world frightened.
Of course, Di Yao did not accept Chonghua's suggestion. Although he said he would consider it again, he obviously had a decision. The emperor's imperial order has not been officially announced, but everyone already knows Di Yao's plan, and many people feel that it is a little
