Ningyuan Village is located in Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, but only about 20 kilometers away.

Speaking of agricultural economy, the village chief Ye Hehui has always been proud, Ningyuan Village has an excellent geographical location, the soil fertility here is high, you can grow three crops of rice a year, the tide of work in the nineties has taken away a lot of the prime of life in nearby villages, but Ningyuan Village, relying on the rich returns of the village of fish and rice is not shaken, and has long built electric lights and roads, which is the earliest in the nearby villages at that time, but at that time it made Ningyuan Village very vain.

Although the area around Poyang Lake has always been characterized by alternating floods and droughts, it has never been able to threaten Ningyuan Village.

Many people say that it is the credit of the upstream Hongqi Wei, the embankment protects the safety of dozens of villages in Sanghu County, large and small, in the 80s, the implementation of "field to household", the nearby villages are out of people to build the polder, an hour a work, the Hongqi Wei is so erected, so many years, regardless of the flood disaster in other places, Ningyuan Village located in the downstream of the Hongqi Wei can always be safe and sound.

It's just that Ye Hehui thinks that this statement is nonsense, where is the credit of the polder, it is all the good feng shui of this place, according to the elders, this Ningyuan Village is a cone outline, that is the treasure bottle of the King of the Earth.

Otherwise, the Hongqi Wei is not impregnable, one year a big flood washed down a corner of the polder, the farmland was damaged, and three villages were washed, but the water bypassed Ningyuan Village, which made everyone in the village sure of the treasure bottle.

No, this year's flood season, although from the beginning of the year there is a spirit of waking up twelve, but the village is still what to do, the big farmer Sun Zuofu also contracted ten more acres of farmland this year, all planted cotton and rice, just waiting for the market to come up to buy some good prices, a good year, the bear child will be married in the future with the small building to build, the rest of the villagers, all about the same.

It's just that the continuous rainstorm still makes Ningyuan Village more worried after all, thinking that the previous floods have not caused any damage to Ningyuan Village, everyone can still sit still.

That night, the rain was lighter than a few days ago, and Ye Hehui also made a special trip to let a few old people who knew the weather analyze, saying that this represented a good omen, the weather improved, and maybe the people patrolling the embankment over there in Hongqi Wei would bring good news in two days.

Ye Hehui slept very sweetly tonight, but in the middle of the night, all that was faintly heard was the noisy ringing of the bell. Ye Hehui, who hadn't slept well for several days, put on his clothes and went to the door, and the whole village now installed a telephone at his village chief's house, as a tool for communicating with the outside world, but when the three watches rang in the middle of the night, Ye Hehui's heart chuckled.

Picking up the phone, there was a mechanical and unreal female voice inside, still impacting his eardrums that had not yet fully awakened, "The Binhe County Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters informs you that there has been more than 400 mm of heavy precipitation in the current area, and the water level of the Binhe dam exceeds the alert capacity of 1.9 meters, the highest water level in history, and there is a risk of dam failure, please ......be notified to move to a safe area immediately."

Ye Hehui was in a momentary state of confusion by this novelty, and he could still call like this?

But in a short time, he reacted. The drowsiness around the head is gone.

Binhe County Dam, is it the upstream of Hongqi Wei?

In those days, he had seen the water storage capacity of the dam, and it was a large lake, with abundant water and grass, and fish and herons as continents! Once the dam failed, Hongqi Wei, including the Ningyuan village further downstream, would not change into a pond!

Although Ningyuan Village has been safe and sound in floods on previous occasions...... This time, however, he didn't dare to gamble with his life.

Ye Hehui hurriedly woke up her wife and asked her to quickly pack up her things and run away, took down the tweeter from the wall, and ran in the rain to knock on the door and notify from door to door.

The village was in a mess, some were dissatisfied, some did not believe, and doubted that the village chief could get the news so quickly, and some people said that Hongqiwei went to patrol the embankment, and if there was any movement, they would come over to report it......

The old village chief shouted at the top of his voice, this time it is not Hongqiwei, but the dam of Binhe County, and the general call of the anti-epidemic has informed that Hongqiwei is a bird's egg when the flood comes!

Two hours later, as the villagers of Ningyuan Village moved towards the high ground, they saw flocks of birds flying among the cliffs, and heard the roar of beasts galloping through the forest.

Hundreds of households in the village had just climbed the mountainside when the wind howled.

The flood peaks poured down between the two mountains, and the dozens of houses that bore the brunt of the flood were like being pushed by mercury, shattering and then disappearing.

Everyone knows how swift it is when they are actually in the area where the seemingly slow waterline on their mountain actually is.

The flood caused geological subsidence, and half of the mountain, which had just been in front of people, suddenly disappeared, leaving only a few pine trees with half of the roots tied to the edges, crooked, making it impossible to believe that they were once part of a lush pine forest.

I can't see the houses in Ningyuan Village anymore, and on the slightly higher terrain, I can see an object like a fishing buoy, which is the flagpole of the village primary school.

Walking to the highest part of the mountain, the villagers of Ningyuan Village were able to get an overview of the whole picture, and the dozen or so villages that could be seen from the top of this mountain before, as well as the nearby towns, were now swallowed up...... As far as the eye can see, there are floods.

The old village chief turned his head and looked at the villagers behind him, who were crying and grabbing the ground, but most of them had been safely evacuated.

He wondered if other villages and towns had also received the same warning call before, and had been safely evacuated.

In this piece of heaven and earth, only the great power of natural immortality remains.

......

The storm and rain slapped on the cold steel carriages of military vehicles, and in a certain camp of the Nanjing Military Region, groups of young soldiers in military uniforms lined up in a line, and after the review, the order was issued, "All battalions board the trains!" and set off to fight the flood!"

The roar of a car engine tears through a rainy night.

Fleets of such steel torrent troop carriers braved the rain in many distressed areas of the land.

In the dam that has burst its banks, in the steep tidal flats, in the submerged towns and villages, there are soldiers carrying sacks, going against the torrent, holding hands and jumping into the flood peak to build a dam with their bodies.

Years later, their photos are still at the forefront of the history of the fight against floods, and the times will remember all this.

......

During the 15 days from June 12 to 27, the Poyang Lake system was the first to flood due to continuous heavy rainfall.

After that...... The water levels of the Fuhe, Xinjiang and Changjiang rivers have exceeded the highest water levels in history, and the floods of the Zishui, Yuanjiang and Xiangjiang rivers in the Dongting Lake system have erupted one after another. The floodwaters of the two lakes flow into the Yangtze River, causing the water level below Jianli to rise rapidly in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

In July, Yichang experienced several flood peaks.

In August, the Jiujiang River burst its banks.

People scuttled ships full of coal and gravel to plug the gaps, and used cars, train wagons filled with sandbags, stones, and even corn, rice, and soybeans in warehouses to plug the gaps.

It was not until the end of August and September that the water level of the main stream of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River gradually dropped after the basin-wide flood that was finally formed by eight flood peaks.

So far, a total of 29 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, including Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei, and Heilongjiang, which have been the most severely affected, have suffered from this baptism of disaster.

The affected area exceeded 300 million mu, the affected area was nearly 200 million mu, the affected population was 223 million, the death toll was 2,149, 6.85 million houses collapsed, and the direct economic loss reached 166.6 billion yuan.

It is worth mentioning that according to the statistics of the Office of the National Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, this is the most serious loss in all previous floods since 1991, but the death toll is the lowest, with 2,149 deaths, which is less severe than the number of 5,840 deaths in 96 years, which has to be said to be a great luck in misfortune.

It can reduce casualties, but also thanks to the accurate and timely warning of the disaster prevention and early warning system, the name of the company that developed this system, that is, at this time, the name of the company entered people's field of vision for the first time.
