When others heard Lin Xunyang's words, they didn't know what to say, these armies, this is treating flood fighting as a war!

But then again, in fact, the military really fought this flood fight as a battle!

Because they received orders to fight!

A battle order!

Although it is said that it is not the enemy who fights, but the flood fight, but the order is the order, since the Holy Son of Heaven asked the troops to fight the flood, then the troops will fight the flood.

Lin Xunyang expressed his opinion on behalf of the army, and there was also a colonel on the navy side who spoke, but there was no large-scale naval fleet on the Henan side, only the Yellow River detachment.

Don't look at the name of the Yellow River Fleet, but the actual scale is not even comparable to the canal fleet, but it has more than 20 small inland river ships, of which there are only seven inland river warships, and the largest ship is only 80 tons of second-class inland river warships, and the strength is pitiful.

In recent years, the navy has been expanding its forces on a large scale, but it is only the ocean-going fleet that is expanding, and it is not very enthusiastic about the expansion of the river fleet, and it is even reducing the size of the river fleet in order to free up personnel to expand the ocean-going fleet.

During the War of Reunification, the Navy's inland river fleet was huge, with dozens of first-class inland river warships of more than 100 tons alone, and more than 300 first-class and C-class inland river warships of tens of tons.

However, after the end of the reunification war, they were successively reduced, and now there are only more than 20 first-class warships left, which are basically deployed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River, while only about 100 second-class and C-class inland river warships remain, which are scattered in rivers and lakes all over the country, and there are not many left.

However, although the strength is small and the personnel are not many, the navy still belongs to the army, and they naturally have to participate in this flood fight, and they have mobilized all the ships to patrol the Yellow River day and night to monitor the situation.

At the same time, they also began to organize some civilian boats to rescue, transfer people, and transport supplies, especially food.

At the same time, the navy also said that they have prepared several large-tonnage ships on standby, and in the event of a dangerous situation, they will directly use measures to plug the gap with the sunken ship.

Both the army and navy have indicated that they will do everything possible to participate in the flood fight!

This made Xiao Baoguan's heart settle a little!

Although the local yamen can recruit a large number of people, it is actually very difficult to prevent so many people from participating in the flood fight.

The military does not have any problems in this regard, and tens of thousands of people will rush to the designated area at the first order, and then participate in the construction of dikes and other affairs.

Moreover, the soldiers of the military are all physically strong, and their physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary young people, and one person can withstand the workload of several people.

After all, the standard of living in these years is still relatively low, and it is not easy for ordinary people to eat enough, even if they are young and strong, but many of them have few muscles.

Xiao Baoguan immediately said: "With the help of the military, we will definitely be able to get through this dilemma safely!" ”

However, after Xiao Baoguan said this, he didn't say much, after all, the military and the government are separated, and in this kind of matter involving military affairs, if you say too much, you will lose, even if it is to fight floods.

The relationship between their local yamen and the military has never been very good, there is no way, in the context of the separation of the military and the government, there are no contradictions but also contradictions, otherwise the Son of Heaven would still think that these officials and generals colluded to rebel.

The same is true for this flood fight, the military is the military, the local is the local, and the two do not interfere with each other, but this is just a tacit superficial posture on everyone's mind, in fact, the two sides still have to cooperate, and the military is unlikely to fight alone, and many things still need to obey the arrangements of the locality.

After all, if you let them fight, it's simple, just go straight to it.

However, the army is really unprofessional in fighting floods, and although there are sufficient troops, it still has to listen to the opinions of the local authorities on how to deal with it.

Lieutenant General Xue Changhuan, commander of the 13th Army, had already instructed him that in this flood fight, it was necessary to cooperate with the localities as much as possible and give full play to the army's own strengths.

What are the strengths?

Fight? Definitely not!

Fight with the flood!

In the face of floods, the strength of the military is to be a sapper!

The army digs fortifications every day, and although this fortification is not the same as the construction of the embankment, it is both civil engineering, and the army said that there is no problem at all.

Although it is said that Major General Lin Xunyang, the commander of the garrison of Henan Province, is not under the jurisdiction of the 13th Army, but the official level crushes people to death, and Xue Changhuan is a lieutenant general of the army, and he is also the commander of the field army, and the real power of the military.

That was something that he could compare with a person who could not even compete for the position of division commander of the main infantry division back then, and was forced to serve as a garrison commander in a local area after failing the competition.

What Xue Changhuan of the Thirteenth Army said, even if it was not a formal order, he had to listen to it.

Therefore, in order to show the attitude of the army, Lin Xunyang did not say much in the follow-up meeting, but listened to the local officials saying that they were talking about strengthening the river embankment there, building a spare river embankment there, discussing what area to use as a flood discharge area, sacrificing a piece of land to ensure the safety of the Yellow River.

He didn't intervene in these things, but only when they talked about the fact that there was still a shortage of manpower to strengthen a certain section of the river embankment and build a certain section of the reserve embankment, he would speak: "No problem, leave it to our army!" ”

There was not much disagreement between the military and the government on how to fight the floods.

Soon, the meeting was over, everyone put on their raincoats and walked out of the governor's yamen, the others had their own tasks to deal with, and Xiao Baoguan was ready to go to the river embankment to take a look.

Braving the light rain, he led his group to climb the river embankment again, and saw Fang Xinxi, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Fang Xinxi's appearance was even more embarrassed than his Xiao Baoguan, Xiao Baoguan didn't sleep well, his eyes were bloodshot, and when he was on the road, his feet were stained with a lot of muddy water.

But this Fang Xinxi, the whole person looked exhausted, and only after this question did he know that this person had been on the river embankment for two days!

Regardless of whether this person was forced because of pressure, but just wanted to put on a show, but Xiao Baoguan was still very pleased to be able to do this.

It doesn't matter what he thinks, but he just needs to see the performance!

There is such a prefect who lives on the river embankment, and it is estimated that few people dare to slack off!

The county magistrates of the counties below, the mayors of the towns and towns, etc., are also personally on the front line of flood control with their subordinates and recruited people.

No matter how things develop in the end, but in the matter of flood fighting, the local officials are fighting on the front line, even if some of them are afraid of death and are unwilling to come, but even the governor Xiao Baoguan himself has come to the embankment twice in a row, and the prefect of Kaifeng lives on the embankment, if you dare not come, you will be taken off in minutes Believe it or not!

Entering the temporary thatched hut on the river embankment, Xiao Baoguan took off his raincoat, greeted these officials one by one, as well as some village sages, and emphasized that they must not be taken lightly, and then went back.

This is not a return to the governor's yamen to rest or something, now down the embankment, he still has a lot of things to do.

First, he went a few kilometers away from a dangerous section of the river, where they had chosen a temporary backup embankment, to build a temporary embankment, relying on the local terrain.

In this way, instead of the dangerous river embankment bursting, the flood directly ravages a large plain area, but can be blocked here.

On the construction site of the alternate embankment, tens of thousands of people and thousands of soldiers can be seen working hard.

In these years, there was no construction machinery and equipment, so I could only dig little by little with shovels, hoes and other tools, and use manpower to carry and transport soil and rock.

This is also doomed, but if you want to do any project, there are many people, and the construction of a spare embankment like this with a length of several kilometers needs to be repaired in a short time, and there are not tens of thousands of people to count on.

Fortunately, Xiao Baoguan received an urgent alarm from Jinling City a few days ago, before the rainstorm came, and arranged relevant work two days in advance.

Otherwise, it would be a few days before it could be moved.

At such a critical moment, the difference of one day or two days is enough to determine life and death!

After Xiao Baoguan inspected various construction sites, he returned to the city, why did he return to the city? Naturally, instead of going back to sleep, he wanted to personally summon the gentry and big merchants in Kaifeng City and the surrounding areas.

Why, let them pay!

Don't look at this kind of thing as just mobilizing people to build dikes or something, but in fact it costs a lot of money, and tens of thousands of people who participate in flood fighting need to prepare food and medicine for them.

And on the contrary, the government does not have much money!

Henan's local finances have always been not sufficient, there is no way, this place is originally an agricultural province, and affected by the flooding of the Yellow River, the civil income is not high, and the local fiscal revenue is naturally not much.

In recent years, it has been difficult to develop industry in Kaifeng and build more than a dozen factories, but these factories are all small and medium-sized factories, which basically cannot provide much help to local finances.

The local government has no money, but it has to fight the flood, and then it has to provide disaster relief, which requires more money, so do you have to wait for the Ministry of Finance to allocate money?

The daylilies are cold, maybe Kaifeng City is flooded, and the money from the Ministry of Finance has not been allocated!

In the event of a major event, the government organization, large households contribute money, and small households contribute efforts, which has always been the way of dealing with the Chinese Dynasty, even in the Tang Empire.

Of course, the Tang Empire has never engaged in any forced apportionment, which is not in line with the benevolent and righteous style of the Tang Empire!

The Tang Empire is often carried out in the form of donations, and when something happens, it will gather large households to raise donations.

Theoretically, donating more, less, or even not donating at all is voluntary!

Well, only theoretically!
