The short videos I watched from all dynasties

[For hundreds of years, the Yellow River's sediment problem has not been solved, and the middle and lower reaches have once again become a suspended river. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the Yellow River began to flood again. In the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, countless manpower and financial resources were consumed in order to control the Yellow River.

The reason why the Yellow River flooded during the Song Dynasty was largely due to the fact that the ancestors cut down trees on the Loess Plateau in the middle reaches. Another reason was that the Song Dynasty's management of the Yellow River was not to take the lives of the people as the primary goal, but to build the Yellow River into a military "natural barrier" to resist foreign enemies.

The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and river disasters directly affected the safety of the capital. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, one faction of the court advocated that the Yellow River flow northward, while the other faction advocated restoring the original course and letting the Yellow River flow eastward. Ouyang Xiu believed that it was absolutely unacceptable to rashly return the Yellow River. However, Emperor Renzong of Song did not listen to Ouyang Xiu's advice, and the plan to return the Yellow River to the river ended in failure.

During the Xining Reform, Wang Anshi focused on building water conservancy projects on the basis of ensuring the safety of the Yellow River, and developed a large area of ​​wasteland in the north. He also set up a large-scale operation to release silt from farmland, which nourished thousands of acres of fertile farmland.

During the Southern Song Dynasty's migration to the south, Du Chong was stationed in Daming Prefecture. He wanted to stop the Jin army's attack and opened the Yellow River to block the Jin army. The Yellow River was out of control and began to frequently flood and change its course, bringing endless harm to the entire middle and lower reaches.

【In the late Yuan Dynasty, there was an official named Jia Lu. After Jia Lu arrived at the Baimao Dike in Shandong, he immediately took action to block the breach and dredge the waterway at the same time. Jia Lu sent people to dig a new waterway on the original breach and built a piercing dike as a basis for blocking the breach. Then, he dispatched more than 20 large ships, filled with stones, arranged in 3 rows, and sank them all on top of the Baimao Dike.

In response to frequent floods in the Yellow River during the Ming and Qing dynasties, in addition to adopting strategies such as blocking and dredging, the Ming Dynasty Minister of Works Pan Jixun proposed a plan called "water confinement and sand flushing method", which tightened the river channel along the coast and used the huge impact of the water flow to flush the silt deposited at the bottom of the riverbed to achieve the effect of silting and flood prevention. This also became the general outline for officials at all levels in the Ming and Qing dynasties to manage the Yellow River.

During the period of Pan Jixun's flood control, the main method in the early stage was to "block the breaches on the side to save the main flow" to block the floods overflowing from the breaches of all sizes and make them enter the original river channel. Then, a large number of dams were built on both sides of the river in the middle and lower reaches. In addition, Pan Jixun built an overflow dam on the long embankment, which made the flood control and drainage more efficient and benefited the people on both sides of the strait.

The Qing Dynasty also adopted the "water-binding and sand-flushing method" to control the Yellow River. Jin Fu, a cabinet scholar in the reign of Emperor Kangxi, and his staff member Chen Huang made many improvements on this basis. Chen Huang suggested to Jin Fu that the "water-binding and sand-flushing method" should be adopted in general to control the Yellow River, and that the "flooding" method should be stopped according to local conditions. Chen Huang also proposed that the foundation of water control should be to prevent the sediment from flowing downward in the Yellow River.

＜The Song Dynasty brought this upon itself, it deserves it!＞

＜When the Mongols conquered the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty tried to dig the Yellow River to block it, but the Mongols dug the Yellow River instead. After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the Mongols dug the Yellow River again＞

＜Three Yi Huihe in the Northern Song Dynasty, a criminal＞

＜Du Chongzhen's MMP, Chang Gong didn't learn it from him [eating melon]＞

＜During the Song, Liao and Jin dynasties, there was no unified dynasty, so there was no governance＞

＜During the Yuan Dynasty, the north bank was emphasized over the south bank, and the Yellow River eventually overflowed, and peasants revolted. “Don’t say that the stone man has only one eye. He can stir up the Yellow River and revolt the whole world.”＞

＜my country's historical map, to see whether there was a change of dynasty, just look at whether the Yellow River changed its course [狗头]＞

＜The Yellow River is now called the Mother River. In ancient times, it was definitely the stepmother river [covering face]＞

＜The Northern Song Dynasty was in great trouble, and the river was diverted back three times, causing floods in the north. Then the Jin Dynasty began to repair it until its death, and the Yuan Dynasty continued to repair it, but it also died. The Ming Dynasty repaired it again, and the Ming Dynasty repaired it until it diverted the Huai River into the sea. In the Qing Dynasty, it still had to be repaired...＞

＜In a sense, the Song Dynasty dragged down the following dynasties＞

＜Silt accumulation, the lower reaches become a river on the ground, and the Yellow River is suffering from severe flooding＞

＜Now there is also the Jialu River＞

＜The Yuan Dynasty was really something. It had done a lot of good things for decades, managing the Yellow River, but in the end it still killed itself＞

＜That’s why everyone is afraid of dredging the Yellow River. What if it kills the river? [Laughs]＞

＜The green plants have been destroyed like that. Plant more trees to protect the Yellow River＞

＜Pan Jixun’s method is really awesome [thumbs-up]＞

＜If you want to see how the Yellow River is managed, you have to look to New China＞

......

Li Ranran sighed that the Yellow River is really hard to mess with. Is there something wrong with you guys digging the Yellow River so many times? ! Why do you want to mess with it? !

People of Jin and Tang: Thank you Wang Jing, thank you Emperor Ming of Han, you two are great people.

The people of the Song Dynasty: You really don’t take our lives seriously.

People in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties: Fuck the Song Dynasty...

To all people living in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River: Plant trees???

Song Dynasty, the first year of Baoyuan

Zhao Zhen was glad that it was still not too late to correct his mistakes, and the historical "Three Changes of Returning to the River" had not yet happened.

I can no longer bear the title of “sinner”!

He immediately summoned Ouyang Xiu and other ministers to discuss the issue of regulating the Yellow River.

"What I mean is, can the method used by Pan Jixun in later generations be useful today?" Zhao Zhen expressed his thoughts after everyone had arrived.

The opinions in the court were originally divided into two groups as Guangmu said. One group advocated that the Yellow River flow north, and the other group advocated restoring the old course and flowing east. Because of Guangmu's words, the opinions of the second group were directly suppressed.

"Well...it costs a lot to control the Yellow River. Now our Song Dynasty has the Liao Kingdom eyeing us covetously in the north, and the Tanguts in the northwest are restless. If we continue to control the Yellow River, I'm afraid..."

The minister was interrupted by Ouyang Xiu before he could finish his words, "I think that the control of the Yellow River is just around the corner. There is still time to deal with external troubles, but there is no time to deal with internal troubles."

"I don't need to tell you how often the Yellow River floods. Even now, Liao and Xixia dare not send troops rashly. But if the Yellow River is not managed, how will the people in the Song Dynasty see it? How will the people who are suffering from the Yellow River floods think?"

"The most appropriate strategy is to dredge the channel of the North Flow Sea so that the water flows smoothly." Ouyang Xiu still advocated the North Flow as stated in the original history.

"I think that although I don't know whether the methods of later generations are suitable for the present, we can give it a try," said Fu Bi.

......

The ministers in the hall were arguing and expressing their opinions.

After they came to an end of the argument, Zhao Zhen ordered to "control the Yellow River"!

......

The people of Song Renzong's reign were happy, thank you Guangmu, and hope that the Yellow River flooding can be effectively solved.

Song Dynasty, the second year of Xining

Zhao Xu: “…”

The second year of Xining was the year of Xining’s reforms, and it was also the year of Xining’s Yihui River.

Zhao Xu sought consultation with Wang Anshi on how to combine later methods with Wang Anshi’s sand control methods.

Yuan Dynasty - 22nd year of Zhiyuan

!!!

What does it mean to do a good deed with great difficulty, but end up killing yourself!!!

"Humph!"

Kublai Khan was very unconvinced. Even if Guangmu was not wrong, the Yellow River had indeed been flooding since the Song Dynasty and had not been resolved until now, but this sentence just made people uncomfortable.

"It's a pity for the official named Jia Lu."

Prince Zhenjin read the comments and found that most of them said that during the Yuan Dynasty, only Jia Luyin was famous for his river management. However, it was a pity that he died in the war while suppressing the peasant uprising.

"Father, I, your son, would like to ask you to dredge the river."

The success or failure of Yellow River management is related to the fate of the entire dynasty.

Since the light curtain has told you the solution, why not do it?
