The dream returns to Longyuan East, and the literature and history are exhausted
(Dream Return to Autumn Chen: Issue 300)
Since the late period of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the direction of the world has gradually become clear, and the State of Qin has become a existence that the princes of the world dare not look at directly. In particular, the Three Jins have become the "punching bag" of the Qin State, and there is a famous saying in the Spring and Autumn Period: The Jin State fights the Chu State, and the Chu State fights the Zheng State. The State of Chu fought the State of Jin, and the State of Jin fought the State of Zheng.
Korea
The South Korea that destroyed Zheng Guo successfully inherited this fine tradition, and at this time, South Korea had basically reached the point of being abused by everyone. So King Han finally unleashed a textbook "economic war", and he sent the waterman Zheng Guo to the Qin state to repair the canal. Of course, this is not for the great cause of the Qin State, but to consume the manpower and material resources of the Qin State in order to achieve the purpose of dragging down the Qin State.
But Han Wang misread two things:
First, the boldness of the Qin King.
When King Yingzheng of Qin knew that Zheng Guo's tired Qin strategy was to kill Zheng Guo, Zheng Guo said: "Great King, although Korea sent me as a spy, if the canal is really repaired, it will be beneficial to Great Qin and harmless." I can continue the national fortunes for Korea for several years, so why can't I give you the name of Wanshi Gong?
Water Master Zheng Guo
This is something that South Korea did not expect, because ordinary people catch a spy like Zheng Guo and kill them, and they will not give them a chance to speak. And Qin Wang Yingzheng not only did not deprive him of the right to speak, but also appointed his suggestions, which was enough to see the courage and mind of Qin Wang Yingzheng not to be ruined by people.
Second, the national strength of the Qin state.
At that time, the State of Qin already had thousands of miles of fertile Shu land, and at the same time, the Qin army also conquered a lot of land in the east. Therefore, the national strength of the Qin state can fully support the Qin state to build a Zhengguo canal, and these are obviously places that the King of Han did not consider carefully. He had no idea that he was desperately waving his hoe to dig a pit for himself, which was the earliest interpretation of cocooning himself.
Zheng Guoqu
In 246 BC, a large irrigation canal presided over by Zheng Guo began construction, which was introduced into Luoshuili from the west to the east, with a total length of more than 300 miles from west to east. Since then, the Guanzhong Plain has formed a perfect water conservancy irrigation network, and the Qin state has since added a plain, and it is getting closer and closer to the destruction of Korea.
And King Han looked at his "Tired Qin Strategy" with mixed feelings, and the Tired Qin Strategy seemed to have succeeded but did not seem to succeed. But there is no doubt that King Han personally made up for the only shortcoming for the Qin state. This is also a plan made by King Han in history to make merit in the society and benefit in the thousand autumns, and it is also the beginning of the Guanzhong Plain becoming the center of China.
Chang'an City
Before Wu Zetian became emperor, Chang'an had been the capital of the Tang Empire, and the Guanzhong Plain should have become the center of the world. Here we witnessed the rise of the two most powerful eras in Chinese history, witnessed the supreme deeds of the Qin Emperor Han Wu, and witnessed the great song of the Eight Directions Coming Dynasty.
In the long history of the millennium, the Guanzhong Plain ushered in the prosperity of the Merchants and Merchants of the Silk Road, and also sent away a batch of soldiers who fought on the battlefield. It has occupied the stage of a thousand years in The history of China, sung the most brilliant battle song in the history of the world, and also played the last glorious song of China's prosperity.
Silk Road
The rise of this Guanzhong Plain, this Zhengguo Canal is indispensable, it has become the founder of the milestone in China. On November 8, 2016, Zheng Guoqu successfully applied for heritage, becoming the first World Irrigation Engineering Heritage Site in Shaanxi Province.
It is recorded in the "Book of History and Canals" that after the completion of the Zhengguo Canal, it greatly changed the face of agricultural production in Guanzhong, filling the water with silt and irrigating the land of salt. It is to use jing water with a large amount of sediment for irrigation, increase soil fertility, and transform more than 40,000 hectares of saline-alkali land (equivalent to 2.8 million mu now). Guanzhong agriculture, which has always been backward, has developed rapidly, with scarce rainfall and poor land, and Guanzhong has become rich and prosperous.
Zheng Guoqu(1)
Even in modern times, Zheng Guoqu has played its role, constantly exerting residual heat for the Guanzhong Plain. In 1989, Jinghui Canal was listed as one of the three major irrigation districts in Guanzhong, and the construction of irrigation areas with the main contents of renovation, improvement of supporting facilities and square field construction was carried out, and a total of 8 projects and 387,000 mu of square fields were arranged. So, how do you evaluate Zheng Guoqu?
