Chapter 385: Saving People is Like Fighting Fire

Li Zhen and Huang Shihai left the Admiralty's Palace. Run straight to the barracks.

When he came to the army, Li Zhen stood at the gate of the barracks and waited. After a short time, Qi Zhenhai, Zhou Xiuying, Yang Banhou, Smith, Lu Shaochuan and other generals in the army all wore robes and hats, and took the initiative to greet Li Zhen.

Li Zhen glanced at everyone and ordered, "Qi Zhenhai, mobilize the soldiers of the regiment under your command, and immediately gather and prepare to go." ”

"Yes!"

Qi Zhenhai let out a loud shout and immediately went to carry out the order.

Smith didn't know the situation yet, and hurriedly asked, "Marshal, what happened, to mobilize the army?" ”

Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "The continuous heavy rain in the past few days has caused floods, and some people's houses have collapsed and there have been accidents. The government officials did not have time to rescue, so they had to mobilize the army to go. Our army protects the people, and if the people have a problem, they naturally have to go to the rescue immediately. ”

Smith said: "Saving people is like fighting fire, and I also mobilize soldiers. ”

Li Zhen shook his head and said: "Don't have too many people for the time being, too many people are easy to make mistakes." Let the soldiers in the army be ready, and if there is a danger in the rest of the place, immediately mobilize the soldiers in the army to come to the rescue. ”

"The marshal is right, I'll let the soldiers prepare immediately!"

Smith waved his hand to the guards around him and asked the guards to order the soldiers to prepare.

Five minutes went by in a flash.

Li Zhen looked at the pocket watch in his hand, and his face showed displeasure. There had been a flood in the city, and the danger was like fire, but Qi Zhenhai had spent so much time mobilizing the army. Immediately, Li Zhen looked at Huang Shihai and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and see Qi Zhenhai, why haven't the soldiers been gathered for so long." ”

Huang Shihai ran forward and ran back in less than a minute.

Li Zhen asked, "What's going on?" ”

Huang Shihai frowned, and replied truthfully: "Dashuai, it is raining heavily now, and the daily clothes and hats prepared in the barracks are not enough, and the soldiers are not ready. ”

"Bastard!"

Li Zhen was angry at that time, pulled the hat on his head and the coat on his body and threw them on the ground.

He stood in the heavy rain, let the rain wash away, and roared loudly: "A group of ruffians, without clothes, they will not save people." Order, all gather within two minutes, if anyone is slow, give Lao Tzu a fuck.

Huang Shihai immediately ordered the soldiers, secretly saying in his heart that Qi Zhenhai was really unlucky.

When Smith saw this, he was impressed.

Zhou Xiuying was worried in her heart and said, "Dashuai, your body is the most important. Bring a hat and put on your robe. She picked up the hat and robe on the ground, shook it lightly twice, and prepared to bring it to Li Zhen.

Li Zhen waved his hand and knocked the robe to the ground, and said coldly: "No, human life matters." ”

Zhou Xiuying bit her lip and felt aggrieved.

Li Zhen's mind was not on Zhou Xiuying, he listened to the sound of neat footsteps, and looked at the soldiers who ran out one by one, but his face was gloomy. Some of these soldiers were wearing robes, some were wearing hats, and some were only wearing military uniforms, and they were surprised to see that Li Zhen was still drenched in the rain.

Qi Zhenhai knew that Li Zhen was angry, ran to Li Zhen, and saluted: "Report, the soldiers of the second regiment have been assembled!" ”

Li Zhen didn't get angry, and said in a deep voice: "Huang Shihai, lead the way." ”

A regiment of 1,000 soldiers hurried out of the barracks and headed for the place where the accident occurred. The only generals who went there were Qi Zhenhai and Huang Shihai, and the rest of the generals stayed in the army to stand by. In the event of a more critical situation, the soldiers left behind in the army are the guarantee to save people. Li Zhen and the others ran all the way and arrived at the place where the accident occurred 20 minutes later.

This place is located in the west of the city of Guangdong, backed by mountains and water, and the river flowing through it is the upper reaches of the river. Now there are heavy rains, swollen rivers and landslides, causing suffering to the people around them.

Li Zhen rushed to the scene and found that the situation was not good. Especially in the past few days, the continuous heavy rain has made the ground slippery and muddy, making it difficult to walk. As the heavy rain washed away, people in low-lying areas immediately suffered, and in some places they became ponds. As I walked along the road, the muddy water had reached the knees of my calves, and in some places even up to my neck.

Li Zhen quickly checked the surrounding situation, pointed to the three places that had collapsed, and ordered: "Qi Zhenhai, mobilize a battalion of soldiers to disperse and search and rescue the people." ”

Qi Zhenhai didn't dare to slack off, and immediately transferred out a battalion of soldiers. The soldiers of this battalion went to the area where the house had collapsed to search for any civilians alive.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, an earth-shattering noise was heard.

In a low-lying area about 50 meters away from Li Zhen's left hand, a house collapsed.

"Help! Help me!! ”

As soon as the house fell, an old cry for help was heard.

Li Zhen followed the prestige and found that it was an old man with gray hair calling for help next to the collapsed house. Li Zhen did not dare to delay and immediately commanded the soldiers to rescue. But Li Zhen's brows furrowed, because after removing the houses that had fallen, there were still many houses that were intact on the surface, but under the erosion of the flowing water, only empty shelves remained.

Twenty soldiers stepped on the mud and waded through the river, and quickly ran towards the place where the old man called for help. Fortunately, the house where the old man called for help was not big, it was just a very ordinary house, and the old man was still holding a beam, so there was not much danger. The soldiers went to the rescue and brought the old man back easily.

However, the soldiers who came back were all soaked, and their clothes were covered with mud, and they were no longer as calm and chic as before.

"Thank you, thank you." The rescued old man thanked him again and again.

Li Zhen had a smile on his face, but there was a worry between his eyebrows, and asked: "Old man, this place is backed by mountains and water, and the flood has washed down and flooded this place, how many people like you have not left?" ”

The old man looked respectful and said, "My lord, as far as the little old man knows, except for those houses that have been washed away, most of the rest are still at home. ”

Li Zhen frowned and said, "Old man, your house is flooded, why are you still living at home?" ”

The old man shook his head and said, "Little Lao'er is alone, and there are a lot of things at home, and he can't move them." If you leave, you can't take your things with you, it's a pity. If you stay, if the water recedes, you can still watch your own things in your house to avoid being stolen. It's a pity, it's a pity, it's a pity that the family ......"

As he spoke, the old man's face showed sadness.

Li Zhen comforted: "Old man, don't worry. When the home is gone, I'll have someone rebuild it. ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

The old man thanked him again and again, his face full of excitement. It's just that he secretly muttered in his heart, is the word of the adult in front of him credible?

Li Zhen looked at Qi Zhenhai and ordered, "Zhenhai, immediately dispatch the soldiers of the second battalion." Divide the soldiers into groups of ten and go to all the people's homes and persuade them to leave. Try to persuade as much as possible, but if you can't do it, you will be forced to leave with the people. ”

"Yes!"

Qi Zhenhai got the order and agreed.
