Heze was originally a natural ancient swamp. In the 13th year of the reign of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty (1735), Caozhou was promoted to a prefecture, with Guo County attached to it, and was named Heze. Heze was then used as the local name.
Heze is the name of Daze in ancient China and one of the nine ancient zes. Its former location is in Caozhou Prefecture, Shandong.
"Shangshu - Yu Gong" records: "He led Heze and was conquered by Mencius." It was named because of the Heshan Mountain in the land, which is the origin of the name Heze.
The ancient ruins of Heze, Leize, Dayeze and Mengzhuze are all located in Caozhou and occupy a sacred position in history.
Hua Xu followed Lei Ze and gave birth to Fuxi. Emperor Yao granted him the title of Tao (Dingtao) at the age of thirteen. He took the throne for a hundred years, died in Chengyang, and was buried in Gulin (Chengyang and Gulin are both in Juancheng County, Caozhou Prefecture). .
Shun was born in Yaoxu (in Juancheng, Caozhou), farmed in Lishan (Lishan in Juancheng), fished in Leize, and made pottery in Hebein (on the shore of Heze).
Fuxi is the ancestor worshiped by the Chinese nation and even many ethnic groups in East Asia. Yao and Shun are the holy ancestors who transformed the Chinese ancestors from ignorance to a civilized country. They are all closely related to the Heze area, which is the swamp of life that nurtured the Chinese ancestors.
Feng Daoli is telling the students the history of ancient Daze.
They were now on the bank of a large swamp formed by floods. This was exactly where Heze was.
He was originally a Jinshi, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable about the past and present.
"Teacher, why did these big lakes disappear later? Today, there are no decent big lakes in Shandong except Weishan Lake." Du Hui asked.
Feng Daoli pondered for a while and said: "Our Chinese ancestors have developed here for thousands of years. As the population increases, more land is needed. The land around Daze is the most fertile land."
"Generations of ancestors have worked hard to develop farmland around the lake. The lake is getting smaller and smaller, perhaps because the Yellow River changed its course. The lake disappeared."
"When the Yellow River changed its direction later, people worked hard to raise the banks of the Yellow River, because the large swamps that originally stored water for the Yellow River had been turned into farmland."
Feng Daoli patiently stated his guess.
"Teacher, do you mean to say that it is precisely because of generations of water control that the Yellow River has become what it is today?"
Feng Daoli nodded slightly. The contribution of the ancestors cannot be denied. However, in ancient times, the ancestors of China already knew that it is better to sparse than to block.
Feng Daoli is keen on water control and knows the history of the Yellow River. Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the management of the Yellow River has mainly focused on blocking. Constantly raising the river embankment is blocking it, isn't it?
There have always been some wise men in all dynasties. Can't they see that regulating the Yellow River in this way will only make this giant dragon more ferocious and dangerous?
Someone must know about them, but no one can change them.
The entire lower reaches of the Yellow River have always been the population, political, and cultural center of China.
To restore a large swamp, the land of a government must be reduced at one time. How much cultivated land will this be! How many people will have to leave their hometowns. Which dynasty can provide money, food, and land to settle so many people?
"Du Hui, you can't say that. The ancestors also had their own helplessness. Besides, the Yellow River is also related to the development of the upper reaches. Otherwise, where did so much sediment come from? Could it be that the Yellow River was like this when it was first formed? Too much sediment?”
In the past, the Ministry of Industry of the Qing Dynasty would send people to collect water from the Yellow River every spring before the floods, and judge whether there would be floods that year based on the amount of sand in the water.
It can be seen that the disadvantages of the Yellow River are closely related to the sediment content.
Recently, Feng Daoli and his students went north along the canal to explore floods on the border of Caozhou.
They found that most of the flood water from the Yellow River accumulated near Heze.
The water here is the largest and the deepest, forming one large lake.
They continued northward until they reached the Daqing River, where the water had been dyed yellow by the water from the Yellow River.
The Daqing River is originally a regional river, and like many rivers in the north, its seasonality is very obvious.
It has not yet reached its flood season, but the water from the Yellow River has already filled the river channel.
From this point of view, when the Daqing River comes into its own flood season, the river embankments will inevitably be overflowed.
Now, not all the water from the Yellow River flows into the Daqing River, but a lot of flood water flows into the huge floodplain area.
Therefore, if the Yellow River is diverted, the entire northern Shandong Province will be affected by floods for many years.
The Yellow River must return to its original path.
After that, Feng Daoli took his students together with staff from the Ministry of Water Resources to conduct detailed measurements of the floodplain area in Caozhou.
Carefully compared the normal water level of the Yellow River with the height of the large lake formed by flooding in Caozhou.
Finally, a "Plan for Returning the Yellow River to Its Old Course and Establishing a Flood Discharge Area in Caozhou" was compiled
This plan proposes to completely open the Yellow River embankment in the Heze area of Caozhou.
Let all the water of the Yellow River enter the Heze area.
Wait for the water volume of the Yellow River to subside, and then block the initial breach.
Preserve the interface between the Yellow River and Heze, just like Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake along the Yangtze River.
Heze is a low-lying area and was historically the location of Daze.
The investigation team has found the edge of ancient Daze.
It is a naturally formed highland. As long as lake embankments are built in a few places, a large lake equivalent to Hongze Lake can be formed in the Heze area.
This large lake can be used to regulate the water level of the Yellow River.
At the same time, the east side of the big lake can still be connected to multiple rivers, and when the big lake cannot bear the water volume of the Yellow River, it can share part of the drainage pressure.
In addition, the big lake can also help the Yellow River drain sand. After the turbulent river water enters the big lake, it will slow down and the river sand will be deposited in the big lake.
When the water volume of the Yellow River is low, the Daze will naturally dry up and shrink, exposing the underlying river sand. At that time, the river sand can be used as building materials and can also generate certain economic value.
Only in this way can we break the strange cycle of a small disaster in the Yellow River every three years and a major disaster in five years.
This plan was quickly uploaded to Dong Shuheng's hands.
Because the matter was so important, the cabinet held an enlarged meeting to discuss the matter.
Opposing voices believed that this matter was a bit whimsical and that no one had ever done anything like this for thousands of years.
It is obviously reclaimed land, why did it turn into a big lake?
Ordinary people will also be confused about this matter. There are many ancestral graveyards and ancestral halls of many families here.
If they were all flooded by the lake, would those families be willing?
They will definitely take the lead to cause trouble.
The Renaissance Army has just established its political power, and the first thing it needs to do is win over the people.
This kind of thing will obviously make the Ba'ath Army lose the support of some local people.
But there are also many people who think it can be implemented. This plan can obviously solve the problem of the Yellow River once and for all.
This is a major event that will benefit future generations.
Moreover, there are now conditions for its implementation.
First of all, China has a large amount of cultivated land in the Northeast. It can redistribute land for these people who have moved out.
The losses of these people can be compensated by allocating more land.
Secondly, the Yellow River floods have turned this area into a disaster area, and most of the people have been moved to the Haizhou area by Dong Shuheng.
The plan was to move them out.
At present, only a few people living in hilly areas have not been affected by the disaster, and they need to be mobilized and relocated by the government.
Therefore, the pressure of relocation is minimal now.
Finally, now that the FNA has just established a government, its remaining power is still there, and the people are still not sure about the FNA's style of doing things, and more people will choose to endure it for the time being.
This is the best time to cut the knot with a quick knife and resolve the matter. As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
Dong Shuheng supported this plan in his heart, and he even had this plan for a long time. However, this matter ultimately required everyone to implement it, so he brought this matter to the cabinet for discussion.
At the same time, he also wanted to see if the cabinet members could unearth all the disadvantages caused by this matter during their discussions.
On May 15, 1955 in the lunar calendar, Dong Shuheng issued a presidential decree and agreed to Feng Daoli's plan to control Huang.
At the same time, a ten-year plan for Yellow River management was appended to the order.
The plan points out that in the next ten years, people within 30 kilometers of both sides of the upper reaches of the Yellow River will be gradually relocated.
The government wants to plant trees on both sides of the Yellow River to restore the ecology.
For all relocated people, the government will compensate them with land and be responsible for the costs of relocation.
Some people would say that Dong Shuheng was aiming too high and started to consider environmental issues before he had solved the problem of food and clothing for the people.
In fact, Dong Shuheng's most important purpose in doing this was to immigrate to Shibian.
To manage the ecology of the upper reaches of the Yellow River, something like this can be done at any time, so why do it now?
This brings up another purpose of Dong Shuheng.
Now is China's last chance to expand its territory, but expanding China's living space does not just rely on the army to occupy it.
There must be people living there, otherwise, the local people will not have a sense of belonging to China, and even if the Chinese army takes over, they will still leave after a few years.
Dong Shuheng knew that when the world developed to a certain extent in the future, a climax of the independence movement would inevitably break out.
Now most of the colonies of the great powers are moving toward independence. Therefore, traditional colonialism is a model that has been proven to fail by later generations.
Now this situation has begun to gradually emerge, such as the emergence of resistance movements in the colonies of the British Empire.
What Dong Shuheng hopes is that wherever the Chinese army occupies, the Chinese people will become the main residents there.
Only in this way can the living space of the Chinese nation be expanded.
But Dong Shuheng understood that the people of China were all relocating to their new homeland, and they would not leave their hometown unless they could not survive.
But now that China was established, Dong Shuheng had to start solving the problem of food and clothing for the people.
After the people's food and clothing are provided for, will they still be willing to migrate?
The answer is obviously no.
Then we need to use the coercive power of the government to start a new situation, and then the government can deal with it according to precedent.
This will make it easier for people to accept it.
This river management is an opportunity to set a precedent.
Then if China wants to relocate its people in the future, it can look to this precedent.
Now the Guanzhong Plain and Loess Plateau are the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, but most of these places have been over-exploited.
Dong Shuheng's idea is to gradually move the population out of these places. These people in the west can move to the Western Regions.
Some people from the south migrated to the Southeast Asia and Pacific Islands, and even South America.
Some people from North China migrated to the Far East, Northeast, and Far North.
Some people from Shanxi migrated to the grasslands.
His goal is to make the Chinese people the dominant nation in this land.
In the future, the mainstream model of the world will still be decided by the majority of people.
If this plan to control pornography can be realized, it will be a great move for the ages.
It will definitely alleviate the flooding of the Yellow River to a great extent.
The reason why we say it is alleviation is because no one can completely solve the flood problem.
When you feel that you have complete control over nature, nature will definitely give you a "surprise".
Yuelu Academy, Changsha, Hunan.
Zeng Disheng has now gradually integrated into the role of dean.
It turns out that he was just a student in the academy, but now he has become the dean, which can be regarded as a complete life.
After becoming the dean, he no longer had to think about government affairs, and his health actually improved a lot.
At this time, he was holding a magnifying glass and reading "Fuxing Daily", which is the official newspaper of China.
China's national events will be announced on it, as well as some important government decrees.
There is an article written in the newspaper today: "Great control of the Yellow River, tame the dragon, and prevent future generations from suffering from the Yellow River floods."
The article lists examples of the endless harm caused by the Yellow River's continuous floods to the people along the coast for thousands of years. Zeng Disheng naturally knew these and skipped them directly.
Then he introduced the ancient Dayu's flood control and introduced several large swamps in Shandong area. What is the purpose of introducing this? Zeng Di was puzzled to explain.
Until you see the detailed introduction to water control below.
The most eye-catching one is the relocation of Heze people and the reconstruction of Heze.
Restore a vast swamp!
After reading this introduction, Zeng Disheng took a breath. How courageous is it to make such a decision?
If this kind of anti-pornography strategy is implemented, no matter what the result is, it will be an anecdote that can be passed down through the ages.
Zeng Disheng immediately summoned all the teachers in the academy and asked them to assign several questions to the students.
The first is to evaluate this strategy to control Huang and what resistance there is.
The second is how to resolve these resistances.
Yuelu Academy has always attached great importance to practical learning and cultivating the problem-solving abilities of its students.
Zeng Disheng hoped that students from Yuelu Academy could enter the Chinese government.
So he asked the academy to study China's government structure and management model.
They even studied the recruitment examination organized by Huaihai Navy before.
Through the setting of these test questions, he discovered that China focused on officials' ability to solve practical problems.
The anti-pornography plan published in the newspaper this time is a very good topic.
Feng Daoli, who was still in Shandong, knew firsthand that the president had agreed to this plan.
When he saw Dong Shuheng's presidential order in the cabin, his hands trembled with excitement.
"Teacher, the president actually agreed. He agreed so quickly."
"This is an eternal project!" Du Hui was very excited when he saw the presidential order.
When they reported it, they knew that the matter involved too much and would definitely cause controversy.
They knew that Dong Shuheng now had great prestige in China and he could force the decision.
However, even if he is the president, he must consider the resistance to this matter.
"Du Hui, you have to sort out this matter carefully. I am going to suggest that the president let you be specifically responsible for this matter." Feng Daoli said.
"Teacher, what did you say, this..." Du Hui was so excited that he was a little incoherent.
The teacher's decision surprised him. Although he was already in his thirties, he had only studied with the teacher for two years.
As a teacher, these words were obviously not just words. He knew that the teacher also had another identity - the elder of the revival meeting.
The teacher said that it is recommended that you be the specific person in charge, so there is a high probability that you will be responsible for the specific implementation of this project.
Although there will definitely be a general manager of the project, as a technical staff member, he will definitely be the one who is specific and real-time.
It will also have its own name in history.
This must have excited Du Hui.
"Du Hui, can you understand the river management ideas we have been talking about these days?"
Du Hui nodded and said, "Yes, teacher."
"No matter what, we people who control water must grasp two points: first, we must treat water control with a rigorous attitude, proceed from the actual situation of water control, and do not mix with secular considerations; second, we must be responsible for the people, the country, and the nation.
Be responsible." Feng Daoli explained seriously.
He knew that his body was no longer what it used to be. Du Hui was his chosen successor, and it was time for him to shoulder the burden himself.
