The rain is still falling, the Yellow River is still widening, and the Xia expeditionary army has been trapped in the new route area, unable to face the turbulent river back to the Xia mainland, fortunately, the expeditionary army will carry enough food when it goes out, and when the rain stops, the Yellow River will return to calm, and the expeditionary army will be able to return.

There is no danger of the expeditionary army far away from the Xia country, but Fengcheng, which is in the Xia country, has a great danger of being washed away by the Yellow River, and the mayor Yingzi and his people continue to use sandbags filled with mud to strengthen the places where there may be gaps in the "river embankment", but there is no stop of rain and the Yellow River continues to widen to make everyone in Fengcheng fearful.

"Let's abandon Fengcheng and move to other cities." Yingzi looked at the turbulent waters of the Yellow River and was powerless to make a final decision.

If you can, Yingzi really doesn't want to give up this Fengcheng that he commanded and built, from the selection of Fengcheng's site, design, construction to the residents who moved in after completion, as the mayor of Fengcheng, Yingzi is involved in it, Fengcheng is like Yingzi's child, he is still growing up, but because of the "serious illness" that may break out at any time, he has to give up Fengcheng in advance.

This is a matter of human life, there are still 6,000 residents in Fengcheng, Yingzi can't let 6,000 residents risk a huge risk to stay in Fengcheng because of himself, "human life is a matter of heaven", everyone remembers this sentence or word that Wang said.

"Mayor Mare, we can still hold on, maybe tomorrow the rain will stop."

"Yes, the rain can't keep falling like this, it will definitely stop, let's wait, Fengcheng will definitely not be in danger."

Someone spoke out to dissuade Yingzi, but even the people who dissuaded him were not confident in saying this, and no one could be sure how long the rain would fall, and no one could be sure how long Fengcheng would be able to hold out.

"Retreat, let's not leave any illusions, first evacuate all the residents of Fengcheng." Yingzi's tone became resolute, and no one could shake Yingzi's thoughts.

Under Yingzi's order, several squads of cavalry left Fengcheng first, and advanced towards the cities in the east, west, and south directions of Fengcheng, hoping to get the help of the three nearby cities and let the 6,000 residents of Fengcheng evacuate quickly.

If you want the 6,000 residents of Fengcheng to retreat quickly, you must get help from other cities, Fengcheng has a total of 6,000 residents, of which less than 1,000 are adult males, less than 1,700 adult females, including many pregnant women, the rest of the residents are minors, and a small number of the elderly and the sick.

Especially in this continuous rain, it is too difficult to make the 6,000 residents of Fengcheng retreat to other cities, and the best way is to mobilize the horse-drawn carts and ox-carts near the city, plus the horse-drawn carts and ox-carts of Fengcheng, to send the 6,000 residents of Fengcheng away as soon as possible.

After receiving the news from Fengcheng, the mayors of the three cities near Fengcheng immediately made various preparations, first mobilizing most of the carriages in their own cities to gather in Fengcheng, and then ordering people to pack up all the houses that can live in the city, preparing for the people from Fengcheng to live, and even some families with small populations should prepare to receive Fengcheng residents.

This year is the nineteenth year of the Xia calendar, and the Xia country is still a very united country internally.

Braving the rain, the three cavalry squads had already returned to Fengcheng to report the decisions of the three neighboring cities to Yingzi.

Yingzi did not hesitate, and immediately made a decision, and immediately began to move the 6,000 residents of Fengcheng.

Fengcheng was in danger of being washed away by the Yellow River at all times, but there was no chaos in Fengcheng, and Yingzi and various departments immediately made a general relocation plan.

Fengcheng had 6,000 inhabitants and could move to three neighboring cities, each of which could move past 2,000 people, barely enough to accommodate these people.

The six thousand residents who were transferred didn't need to carry much stuff, as long as they lived well, they would have everything they should have, and Xia Guo could still bear the material loss of a Fengcheng.

When the 6,000 residents of Fengcheng were preparing to move, the Fengcheng branch of the household department was the busiest department, and they needed to keep a record of which city those families were transferred to, so that there could be no mistakes.

Soon, the transfer began, and the first convoy of ten wagons left Fengcheng with a full load of people and headed for its neighbors to the south of Fengcheng.

Ten carriages carried a total of nearly a hundred people, mainly minors and pregnant women, except for the drivers, there were no other men in the convoy at all, all the men in good health were to stay with the eagles until the last group to retreat.

The rain was relatively heavy, but the road on which the carriage traveled was not muddy, and it was able to allow the carriage to travel at a faster speed, all thanks to Su Yan's decision, the Xia Kingdom had a large number of slaves, and these slaves could not be used up for mining and city building, so Su Yan arranged some of the slaves to build roads.

Originally, the cities of the Xia Kingdom were connected by land as much as possible, and the roads were relatively smooth, so people could easily push one-wheeled vehicles on the roads.

Now in order to allow the cavalry and horse-drawn carriages to pass quickly, the road has been repaired, so that the road has become wider and smoother, the ground is first pressed with rolling stones, and paved with small stones, the middle is high and the sides are low, even if it rains all the time, the road can be kept in a good state, which is convenient for the transfer of Fengcheng residents.

After the first convoy left Fengcheng, soon the second convoy and the third convoy also left Fengcheng, although Fengcheng only had a population of 6,000, but Xia Guo already had a large number of horses, Fengcheng was one of the seventy cities in Xia Kingdom, with a large number of carriages, but it was not up to the extent that all the residents were transferred away at one time with the carriage of their own city, and the four cities also needed to mobilize the carriage to go back and forth twice.

Fengcheng residents were transferred away in waves, and Yingzi led people to continue to inspect the riverbank area, this time is also the most critical period, as long as it survives these two days, and when the residents of Fengcheng are transferred, it doesn't matter if the Yellow River water is irrigated.

"Mother, why are we leaving here, isn't this our new home?"

"Son, the rain is so heavy that it is likely to flood our new home, and soon we will have another new home."

"Woo woo, new home, our new home is gone."

"Don't cry, we'll have a new home."

In fact, everyone is reluctant to go out in the rainy weather, but they can't go out, except for ignorant children, everyone knows the dangerous situation that Fengcheng is facing, Fengcheng may be washed away by the Yellow River at any time, and the people who stay in Fengcheng are likely to die, and they must stay away from the dangerous place of Fengcheng.

Even in order to let more people leave Fengcheng quickly, everyone obeyed the orders from above and did not carry many things, each person only brought a small package, two pieces of clothing, a little dry food, and a few other items.

Rumble!

Torrential floodwaters poured down from the upper reaches of the Yellow River, increasing the width of the Yellow River and constantly impacting the improvised dikes built by the Yingzi and others.

"Quick, hurry up and move sandbags here, we must not let the river break through here, as long as we hold on for a while, all the residents of Fengcheng can be evacuated."

Yingzi led by example, carrying sandbags from the wagons and stacking them on the embankment, constantly reinforcing the embankment to block the raging water of the Yellow River.

It was getting dark, and all the residents in Fengcheng had been evacuated, even the cattle, horses, sheep, deer and other domestic animals that could be taken away, leaving only the men who were still reinforcing the embankment.

"Let's go too."

With the last wagon, the last people of Fengcheng also left the Fengcheng area and drove towards the neighboring city in the dark.

Yingzi sat on the last carriage, this carriage was used to pull sandbags before, without any covering, Yingzi wearing a hat sat on the wet car board casually, his eyes kept on Fengcheng, unconsciously, tears crossed Yingzi's face, fortunately it was already dark, and no one could see the image of their mayor at this moment.

Until Fengcheng's figure disappeared completely, Yingzi still didn't turn his head, and looked at the direction of Fengcheng in a daze.

That night, the embankment was broken by the Yellow River, and the rolling Yellow River water poured into the depression where Fengcheng is located, and a large area of farmland outside Fengcheng was swallowed up by the Yellow River, and this year's crops in Fengcheng were completely lost.

This is not the end, the next afternoon, the Yellow River water spread to the corner of the Fengcheng wall, the third day of the morning, the Yellow River water will break the Fengcheng city wall, the rolling Yellow River water will swallow Fengcheng, the city has not had time to take away the livestock are also swallowed by the Yellow River.

Fortunately, the residents of Fengcheng are fine, as long as the people are okay, the things that were lost will always come back.

What happened in Fengcheng is the most serious situation in the Xia Kingdom, other cities located on both sides of the Yellow River have more or less some dangers, but they are not as serious as Fengcheng, the area where Fengcheng is located is a depression, once the Yellow River water is poured back, then Fengcheng directly becomes a lonely city, and the Yellow River water is poured into more, and the structure of Fengcheng cannot block the Yellow River water at all, and it will be directly swallowed up or even washed away.

The other cities are not located in depressions, and even if the surging water of the Yellow River breaks through the dikes, at most it will flood part of the farmland outside the city, or even wash the Yellow River water under the corner, but there is not much danger to the city in general, and it is better to worry about the Yellow River water hitting the city than to worry about the heavy rain washing away the houses.

Because of the continuous rain and flood disasters, there have been more than 50 casualties and missing people in the Xia Kingdom, the missing people mainly fell into the Yellow River, too late to rescue, and were directly washed away by the turbulent Yellow River, and the number of casualties was mainly caused by the collapse of old houses in the earliest cities established by the Xia Kingdom.

Even if the county magistrates and mayors of each city sent more people to inspect the city and check the condition of the houses, it was still impossible to avoid the collapse of a very small number of old houses in the continuous rain, those houses have existed for more than 20 years, and some of the wood in the houses may have rotted, and it is not surprising that the houses always collapsed in the heavy rains, and the residents of some of the houses in question have been evacuated.

In fact, the old house thing has been noticed last year, many of the houses were built in the Dragon Tribe era, when the technology was relatively low, and the wood used to build the houses was not handled enough, making the wood more susceptible to decay, which caused the houses to collapse in heavy rains.

Su Yan has asked the cities to have plans to demolish the old houses and build new ones from this year, but he didn't expect a more serious flood disaster to come, but fortunately, the number of casualties is not large, and it is within the range that Xia can bear.

Looking at the situation reports from various cities on the desk, Su Yan suddenly thought of the "Yellow River on the ground", the modern Yellow River is the "river on the ground", the riverbed is actually located on the ground, because the vegetation in the upper reaches of the Yellow River is seriously damaged, and a large amount of sediment is swept into the Yellow River, so that the riverbed of the Yellow River continues to increase, and finally makes the above-ground river appear.

Because the Yellow River is an above-ground river, once it rains heavily, it is easy for the Yellow River to burst its banks, and the Yellow River water will sweep the land, and at the same time, it may also divert the Yellow River.

The Yellow River in Xia is much better, it is not an above-ground river, and it will not directly flood the entire Xia Kingdom after the Yellow River bursts its banks, but the modern Yellow River warns Su Yan that the Yellow River must not be turned into an above-ground river again, and it is an important task to protect vegetation, and vegetation cannot be destroyed at will.

Yingzi has already reported the transfer of Fengcheng residents, Su Yan will not make too many arrangements for the time being, everything has to wait for the rainy weather to stop the flood disaster to recede, when the time comes, whether to disperse the original Fengcheng residents to various cities, or to resettle them in a new city, you can, but not to return to Fengcheng, which has been flooded by the Yellow River.

"Fengcheng", a city swallowed by the water of the Yellow River, there will be no more cities with this name in the Xia Kingdom in the future.

As for the various items lost by the residents of Fengcheng, they will be given a batch of supplies after they are given a new home, there may not be as many as before, but there will be no lack of places, the Xia Kingdom is very small and large, with a population of more than 500,000 in seventy cities, it is still a relatively simple matter to help the residents of a city return to normal life, and the larger the size of the Xia Kingdom, the easier it will be.

The inundation of Fengcheng was an accident, but it also made Su Yan pay attention to the cities built by the river and even the sea, and the cities built by the river and even the sea in the future must pay attention to the problem of dealing with flood disasters, and must build a strong embankment that can block the rising river or sea water.

Xia is to develop to the south, away from the Yellow River, but it does not mean that Xia will give up the Yellow River, and will still build cities on both sides of the Yellow River in the future, but the frequency will be reduced, and water transportation is still a very important mode of transportation for Xia State.

Su Yan even wants Xia Guo to develop in the direction of the sea quickly, with the increase in the population of Xia Kingdom, the salt supply pressure is increasing rapidly, only by obtaining salt from the sea, can the salt supply pressure be relieved, there is the sea, Xia Guo wants as much salt as there is as much salt, the easiest way to dry salt in the salt field, Su Yan still knows.

However, for the time being, Su Yan put aside the other thoughts in his mind, concentrated on the impact of the Xia Kingdom in the face of the flood disaster, read the report documents from various cities, and gave instructions on the problematic places, and then sent them back to the counties, and then sent them from the county seat to the towns.
