Chapter 103 Matching the Five Kingdoms’ Seals

In the middle of the night, Chu Hou Xiong Jin suddenly woke up from his dream. In his dream, he once again saw Xiong Qi's eyes staring at him.

Xiong Jin woke up and wiped his sweat. He was even more angry when he thought about Xiong Yun's escape.

In addition to his own reasons for Xiong Yun's escape, Huai's spies also played a role. After Xiong Jin launched the coup, Huai's spies told Xiong Yun the news, and then Xiong Yun did not hesitate to flee.

.

Assisting Xiong Yun to escape is also one of Huai Guo's plans. The purpose is to continue the chaos in Chu. But Xiong Yun is still young now. In another three to five years, when he grows up, he can try it.

.And the current Chu Hou Xiong Jin is not a peaceful person in terms of his character. The Chu Kingdom will definitely not be calm in the past few years.

The last person to enjoy this kind of treatment was Qi State.

After Duke Huan of Qi passed away, the Duke of Qi experienced a lot of fighting. Gongzizhao succeeded to the throne, but Gongzizhao was not a wise monarch. He only reigned for ten years before he died of illness. His son She came to the throne, but he was only a year old.

When you are young, it is difficult for you to take on big responsibilities.

However, Duke Huan's other son, Prince Pan, had already been eyeing him, and before the others could react, he killed She and established himself as king.

Moreover, this young master Pan was not a kind person. After he killed his nephew, he gave his brother a beautiful posthumous title: Filial Piety.

You must know that his elder brother originally wanted to compete for the position of the Marquis of Qi, but he ignored the armor and attacked, and later failed to escape. Duke Huan's body was left for sixty-seven days, and it was all rotten. He actually gave his elder brother a posthumous title.

No. Xiao.

At this time, the posthumous title is not given casually, but there is a strict system. It is not easy to get the posthumous title "Xiao". The five sects of peace are called filial piety; being kind and loving to relatives is called filial piety; being virtuous and not giving back is called filial piety.

; Xie Shi Zhao Xiang is called filial piety; being considerate and ethical is called filial piety; being kind and caring to the people is called filial piety; being kind and forgetting about work is called filial piety; obeying orders without disobeying is called filial piety; doing good things to parents is called filial piety, etc. twenty-six conditions.

Of course, as long as you can do one or two things, you can be given the posthumous title of 'filial piety'. But the key is that Qi Houzhao didn't do any of them, and he also did the thing of mortuing corpses and ignoring each other. You give him

When you say "filial piety", are you praising him for being "filial"? Is this saying that he is a "filial piety" person?

This is truly a "filial" son.

After this series of turmoil, Qi's national power has declined rapidly, and it has fallen from a first-rate power to a second-rate power. Of course, its foundation is still good.

As long as the monarch works hard to govern, he will be promoted again soon, but Qi's actions have made civil strife in the government a common practice. Qi's inheritance system should be changed to the Wugong inheritance method.

The state of Chu also has the same trouble. Several generations of Chu princes have not ascended the throne normally. What do you want the princes of Chu below to think? The inheritance law of Zhu Palace?

The civil strife between Chu and Qi is what Huai wants to see. These two countries are also the greatest threat to Huai. As for Jin, they are still far away.

After the Huai State controlled the floods in the Huai River, the food supply became increasingly abundant, while the Zhong State in the upper reaches of the Huai River was also harmed by the floods of the Huai River. After Wang Zhong heard that the Huai State relied on Sun Shuao to control the floods and had great success, he sent envoys to go there.

Come and ask Sun Shuao to help Zhongguo control the flood.

Zhongguo is located in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. If the upper reaches of the Huaihe River continue to flood, it will also affect the Huaiguo. Wang Yong invited Sun Shuao to ask: "Zhonghou wants to ask you to govern the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. I wonder if you are willing? If you are not willing, how can I be alone?"

So I refused.”

"Your Majesty, Zhongguo and Huaiguo are brothers. Zhongguo is also a vassal state of Huaiguo, and it is the key to Huaiguo's fight against Chu. It cannot be dealt with at will." Sun Shuao said solemnly.

"Moreover, Zhongguo is located in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. If the upper reaches are not peaceful, how can the lower reaches be safe? Please go to Zhongguo to control the water!"

Wang Yong stood up and stepped forward and said: "Your great achievements are second only to those of King Yu! You should build a temple to offer sacrifices!"

"My merit is only a small one, I dare not compare with King Yu!"

Wang Yong sent 3,000 elite soldiers and dozens of academy students to follow Sun Shuao to Zhongguo. Zhonghou Wang Zhong led his ministers to welcome him, and appointed Sun Shuao as the prime minister of Zhongguo. Sun Shuao directly served as the seal of the two countries.

Next, Wang Zhong ordered 50,000 people from the country to be assigned to Sun Shuao to control the floods. When Cai Guo heard that Wang Zhong had invited Sun Shuao to control the floods, he hurried over and asked Sun Shuao for advice. After a conversation, Cai Hou was also impressed by him.

, immediately announced that Cai Guo would also join in the flood control, and also invited Sun Shuao to serve as the prime minister.

On the other side, Huang and Jiang, who were also often disturbed by the Huaihe River, personally invited Sun Shu'ao to join them and expressed their willingness to appoint Sun Shu'ao as prime minister. In the end, Sun Shu'ao was matched with the seals of the five kingdoms.

After the four kingdoms of Zhong, Cai, Huang, and Jiang discussed together, they each assigned 50,000 people to be commanded by Sun Shuao. At the same time, the four kingdoms prepared food and fodder and obeyed Sun Shuao's dispatch.

After being appointed as the Prime Minister of the Four Kingdoms, Sun Shuao gained great power. Then Sun Shuao led the 200,000 people of the Four Kingdoms to start water control. This time, because of his experience in water control in the Huai Kingdom, he managed Zhong, Cai, Jiang, Huang

The floods in Shikoku are even more experienced.

The upper reaches of the Huai River are mountainous and the water channels are narrow, with many tidal flats and rocks. After some measurements, Sun Shuao began to dredge the river channels and build ditches and reservoirs.

With the help of many academy students, the management of the upper reaches of the Huai River was much faster than that of the Huai State. In the past, water control in the Huai State often required a lot of calculations, and many people had to learn from scratch.

Nowadays, many things can be calculated easily when managing the upper reaches of the Huaihe River. Two hundred thousand people, under the command of Sun Shuao, dug ditches, excavated river channels, and built artificial lakes in lower areas. After three years, the Huaihe River was finally drained.

The upstream has been managed.

And an irrigation system was built in the upper reaches of the Huaihe River covering the four countries of Zhong, Cai, Jiang, and Huang. It was called Anfengtang, also called Shapi.

The entire Anfengtang irrigation system will not only connect the Huaihe River, but also introduce the tributaries of the Huaihe River into it. The water sources are gathered into lakes, which can be used to irrigate farmland in four countries. When floods come, water can be stored and released. During droughts, it can be used to irrigate farmland.

to irrigate farmland.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in the four countries have benefited from this. The four countries that were originally ravaged by the Huaihe River no longer have to worry. Also because of this, the four countries of Zhong, Cai, Huang, and Jiang have become Huaiguo's staunch allies, and have the capital to compete with Chu.

Anfeng Pond is another outstanding water conservancy engineering masterpiece by Sun Shuao. It is also one of the oldest grand water conservancy projects in the world that is still in use today. It makes full use of the topography and water veins of the surrounding mountains, rivers and valleys, and takes advantage of the situation to make it

With system functions such as water storage, irrigation, flood control, sand discharge, and flow control, Qianli Zeguo was transformed into fertile farmland.

It has realized Sun Shuao's idea of ​​"promoting rivers and valleys, guarding springs, irrigating fertile swamps, embanking lakes and rivers to turn them into swamps, loving the love of heaven and earth, reaping the benefits of nine marshes, nourishing the country with Yin, and making the family happy."

Its emergence can be said to have changed the direction of history to a certain extent, so that the four countries on the Huai River were no longer affected by floods, and the flooded areas became thousands of miles of fertile wilderness. Since then, the population of the four countries on the Huai River has increased greatly, and the food and grass have been abundant, making the Huai River

The Four Kingdoms of Shui had the ability to compete with Chu and provided important strength for Huai to destroy Chu.

Anfeng Pond is among the third batch of key cultural relics protection units in the country, and was included in the World Cultural Heritage, World Natural Heritage, and World Irrigation Engineering Heritage in 2005. - "100 People Who Influenced the Process of Human History - Sun Shuao"
