Henan Daoqu Village.

Luoyang ordered Zhou Hongde to give an order, and a large number of people began to move to the highlands on a large scale under the command of the local Lizheng.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the government's control over the countryside was also very powerful, and the local people were low-lying land, and they were also plagued by floods all year round, and they were deeply affected by floods.

As soon as he heard that the flood was coming, he immediately began to obey the command and began to move, and the people lined up in a long line, dragging their families to escape the flood.

But there are always some people who are unwilling to give up their hard-earned family wealth, and an old woman in Qu Village couldn't help crying when she looked at her hundreds of chickens.

"If I don't leave, even if I die, I will die with these chickens." The old woman said with a stubborn face, this is what she bought from the children of the Mo family as soon as she came to spring, and she worked hard for more than half a year to raise her, which can be said to have poured all her efforts.

The old woman who has been poor all her life has never had hundreds of such huge wealth, and she can't give up such a huge amount of wealth when she is rich and poor.

"Mother, please. If these chickens are gone, they can be raised again, and if the people are gone, then everything is over. The old woman's son pleaded bitterly.

But no matter how her son persuaded her, the old woman just didn't agree, and her son stepped forward and dragged it, even holding the door frame and not letting go.

Li Zheng rushed over when he heard the news, and roared angrily: "Come on, carry the Zhang family away for me." ”

The order given to them by the Luoyang Order was very urgent, the water of the Yellow River had already exceeded the warning line, and the discharge of the embankment was imminent.

Immediately, several prime men of Qu Village and Zhang's son carried Zhang away, and Zhang wept and wailed bitterly while looking back at his chickens.

The old woman was already the last of the family, and Li Zheng and the group ran five miles to a high slope, which was the place where their village had been sheltered from the floods all year round.

When I arrived at the high slope, I saw that many surrounding villages had gathered here, in fact, Zhang's behavior of not giving up his home was especially an example, and the whole high slope was full of crying.

"Don't be sad, the imperial court will definitely come to relieve the disaster, Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch, and once the flood passes, you will definitely rebuild your home for everyone." A few miles were calming the emotions of the people over and over again, which allowed the people to stabilize a little, and began to organize the cooking of fires and set up temporary settlements.

On the embankment of the Yellow River, Luoyang made Zhou Hongde look at the roaring Yellow River under his feet with a solemn face.

"My lord, I can't wait any longer, many of the Yellow River embankments have springing phenomena, if it weren't for the 16th Guards and soldiers to block them with all their might, I'm afraid the embankments would have burst long ago."

The master kept urging on the side, in his opinion, since the imperial court had already set the order to break the embankment and divide the flood, if Zhou Hongde did not divide the flood in time at this time, causing the Yellow River to burst, it would probably be a great responsibility.

"How long has it been since the order to inform the people to transfer!" Zhou Hongde asked.

"My lord, it's been eight hours. It's all passed on by fast horses, and I believe that these villages have already gotten the news. The master replied.

Zhou Hongde raised his hand several times, and then put it down, eight hours is indeed not enough.

"Wait another half an hour, the hour has come, and the embankment will be broken immediately." Zhou Hongde said bitterly. Even if it is only for half an hour, then the chances of the people being transferred will be greatly increased.

Suddenly, everyone was quietly staring at the funnel in front of them, and at this time, every second of time could be described as a test of life and death.

Half an hour has arrived.

"Bursting the levee!"

Zhou Hongde gave an order, and suddenly many young people began to burst the embankment.

At this time, the embankment of the Yellow River is already very fragile, and it has just dug a hole, only to see the rushing water of the Yellow River, which will suddenly gush out, roaring like a beast that has been trapped for a long time, and will soon burst and tear continuously.

"Everyone's retreat immediately!" Zhou Hongde said loudly.

In fact, without waiting for Zhou Hongde's order, these young men had already thrown down their tools and began to run back along the embankment of the Yellow River.

However, as the breach of the Yellow River continued to expand, the roaring waters of the Yellow River gushed out along the breach, engulfing everything that stood in its way.

"The water level has dropped!"

"My lord, the water level has dropped!"

………………

The master suddenly pointed to the Yellow River under his feet and said excitedly, and many young people also cheered.

Zhou Hongde hurriedly looked down, and saw that the water of the Yellow River, which was originally rushing, had dropped significantly, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, the water level has dropped, which means that the danger is decreasing.

"Don't take it lightly, immediately and non-stop probing the water level of various sections of the Yellow River, and at the same time immediately organize manpower to search and rescue the flood discharge area and rescue some trapped people. At the same time, the counties should be notified of the preparations for the resettlement of the victims, and it is imperative to ensure the stability of the victims. Zhou Hongde commanded.

"Yes!" The master immediately responded.

At the same time, a large number of people were divided into two, and most of them began to search and rescue and resettle the victims in the flood discharge area, and began to explore the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

It wasn't until three days later that the water level of the Yellow River, with Qucun as the center, had mostly dropped to a safe level, and Zhou Hongde was truly relieved.

Not only that, but even the water conditions in the flood discharge area have stabilized and are fixed in the planned flood discharge area, and almost all the people are safely evacuated, except for the loss of finances.

"Immediately go to Chang'an City to report the victory, and say that Henan Province has lived up to the trust, and the Yellow River flood has passed." Zhou Hongde commanded.

"Yes!" The master was also excited, this time he was able to survive the disaster of the Yellow River safely, Henan Province must be a great achievement, and it will definitely greatly increase Zhou Hongde's political achievements, maybe he will be able to overpower Su Luosheng in Chang'an City.

"The Yellow River is a great victory! The flood has receded! ”

When the official who reported the victory set off from the fast horse of Henan Road, everywhere he went, he shouted loudly, and there was a jubilation in an instant.

When the good news reached Chang'an City, the whole Chang'an City suddenly boiled, and all the merchants and residents ran to the street to cheer, as if it was a New Year's holiday.

Many people still remember that the last time Chang'an City celebrated so happily was a few years ago, when the good news of the Tang Dynasty's victory over the Turks came.

In the Taiji Palace, Li Shimin looked at the good news from Henan Road, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, the method of the flood discharge area was really effective, and a catastrophe was resolved and invisibly. For the first time in history, the flooding of the Yellow River was overcome by manpower.

The Yellow River has a long history of harm and can be said to be the greatest pain in the hearts of every generation of Chinese people, but this unruly dragon finally has a way to be subdued.

"One day, hundreds of officials and the people will rejoice, and tonight Jin Wu can't help it." Li Shimin waved his hand.

Chang'an City is the imperial capital, and the curfew system is very strict, except for large festivals such as Chinese New Year's Eve and Lantern Festival, all other curfews are implemented.

After the news that Jin Wu couldn't help it came out tonight, the entire Chang'an City immediately caused even greater jubilation.
