"Your Highness! Your Highness! ”

In the early morning, there was a rush of shouting in the inn.

"Bang!"

Chen Zhaoming, who was in a hurry, didn't even knock on the door, broke in directly, and rushed into Xia Huan's room.

"The embankment on the Yingshang bursts, and the river irrigates in the south. More than 20 miles north of the city, it has become a country! ”

"What!" Xia Huan had just finished dressing, and when he heard Chen Zhaoming's words, he was taken aback.

"Didn't Mr. Xu say that in the short term, there will be no problems? How come it was only two days before the river embankment burst! ”

"Your Highness, I don't know about this! However, this news was sent by Yingshang, and it must not be wrong. ”

"Back to the wing!" Xia Huan didn't say a word, grabbed the door and went straight to the stable of the post house.

This flood came too suddenly, and by the time Xia Huan and the others returned to Yingshang, the entire Yingshang county was almost immersed in water. Even the water in the city has reached the calves of the people.

Shops, houses, warehouses, everything is soaked in water. And, looking at the water momentum, it seems that it is still rising.

Now, the situation is slightly better, that is, the south of the city. The terrain there is slightly higher and there are not many fields, mostly small hills.

"Bastard!" Outside Yingshang County, Xia Huan looked at the people who had lost their souls, and dragged their families to crowd at the gate of the city, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and curse.

If those families were willing to hand over the people earlier, how could there be such a big flood.

Although the gate on the city is not small, there are too many people who are in a hurry to get out of the city. Relying only on the few officials of the county government to maintain order has no effect at all.

Xia Huan turned around and roared, "Yu Meng! ”

"The last general!"

"Bring more than 100 people to maintain order. Everything comes first, first come, but anyone who commits trouble will be detained first! ”

"Whoa!"

In the past two days in Shoudu, Xia Huan has not been idle.

Although nearly half of the people ran away when repairing the river embankment, under Xia Huan's persuasion, many of the original tenants were willing to join the Changxiu army.

Except, of course, from an increase in the number of people. What's more, Changxiujun, who originally only had weapons and an old military uniform, no one got a small piece of leather armor.

Therefore, when Yu Meng led the Changxiu army of more than 100 people and ran all the way to the city gate, he was quite powerful. So that the people in the original city couldn't recognize it.

"The walker is on the left, the wheel is on the right, first come, first come! But violators, military law is engaged! ”

Yu Meng and the others roared as they squeezed towards the city. Everyone's hands are holding their weapons tightly at any time, and they have a posture of doing things if they don't agree with each other.

Maybe he was shocked by Yu Meng's momentum. Or maybe Chang Xiujun had a makeover, so that everyone didn't react yet, in short, everyone obediently got out of the way.

However, most of these people gathered at the south gate and were in a hurry to get out of the city. Moreover, they are basically engaged in the paper and tea business.

The city was flooded, and they suffered the greatest losses, and if they did not get the rest of the goods out as soon as possible, they would probably lose even more.

Except for these merchants, the ordinary people in the city did not take refuge outside the city.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the city, Xia Huan instructed Chen Zhaoming: "Zhaoming, you take all the palace guards, and take two hundred people, and scatter them to each city." Maintain order, and if someone dares to take the opportunity to cause chaos, correct the law on the spot! ”

"Whoa!"

Chen Zhaoming arched his hand, led two hundred people, waded through the water, followed Yu Meng, and entered the city.

"Leave fifty people, and the rest of the people, go outside the west city and outside the east city to look for boats, and after three hours, wait for the king at the gate of the north city."

"Whoa!"

After giving three orders in a row, looking at the sergeants who went to carry out their tasks at the fastest speed, Xia Huan suddenly felt a little incredulous.

Originally, it was just a group of rabble, and even the entire crooked team took nearly an hour on weekdays. Why is it so decisive in this moment of crisis?

It's only a few days, how can there be such a big difference.

Just when Xia Huan was stunned, a young man who looked about the same age as Xia Huan asked respectfully, "Your Highness, do I need to enter the city now?" ”

Xia Huan came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Enter the city immediately and go straight to the county office." ”

It is similar to the scenery in the city, and in the county office, fish can also be raised.

Lin Xian Ling was busy packing up his valuables with a few domestic servants, and even Xia Huan's arrival was reminded by the people around him.

Lin County, who was in the water, hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and said to the little prince in front of him, who had gone and returned: "Your Highness is coming, I don't know what to order!" ”

Xia Huan didn't show a good look at this Lin County Order, but asked casually, "Where is Chang Xiujun's roster?" ”

"Changxiujun's roster ......" Lin Xian Ling showed a slightly thoughtful look, and then said: "Minister, this will be given to His Highness." ”

When the roster was in hand, Xia Huan ran out of the county office again without looking back.

The topography on the Ying, high in the south and low in the north. Nowadays, even the county seat has been flooded like this, and you can imagine what kind of scenery it is outside the northern city.

Such a big water may not be able to kill the people in the city, but it may take the lives of the people outside the northern city for more than 20 miles at any time.

Although most of the workshops in the northern part of the city are workshops, most of the families of the craftsmen in these workshops live around the workshops. Roughly calculated, there are at least thousands of households.

And with only the two or three hundred people that Xia Huan can vacate now, it is really a bit stretched to rescue and place so many people.

Fortunately, most of the Chu people are good at water, unlike the north, for a while, even if there is a big flood, too many people will not be drowned.

At this moment when there was a shortage of manpower, after Xia Huan took the roster, without saying a word, he first found the residence of more than 20 of them. With the people, carrying the sword, he broke into the door and cut off their heads.

"Two people in a team, carrying people's heads, told those people. What happened before, Ben Jun can not be blamed in the past. However, if three hours later, Benjun is at the entrance of the northern city, and he will not see their people. and their fate will be the same as in your hands. In addition, tell them that as long as they can be obedient, in the future, each household will get twenty acres of land every day! Xia Huan held his sword and said in a sonorous voice.

"Whoa!" Perhaps it was rendered by Xia Huan's momentum, and the fifty people present responded in unison. Suddenly, it had a bit of a battlefield powerhouse.

After sending everyone, Xia Huan pulled the reins again and rode directly towards Beicheng.

Xia Huan, as well as Chang Xiujun's actions, were naturally seen by the people in the city.

Ordinary people, seeing that Changxiu Army, who had already left, came back like a rebirth. Moreover, many people who committed adultery and criminals were also punished. In addition to the shock in my heart, there is more of a trace of gratitude.

As for those families who originally regarded Xia Huan as a flood beast, they were unwilling to contribute before. By the time the flood really came, Xia Huan had already forgotten about it.
