Chapter 501: In July Jiangdong, the rainy season is a disaster!
Koto, July.
There was no sunny day for the whole month, and it was still a vast torrential rain, pouring down, so that the whole Jiangdong was shrouded in a haze of sky.
Qiantang River.
This river is the junction of Huiji and Wujun, and the bay of the East China Sea connected to it has a very magnificent landscape.
But now the heavy rain has been more than half a month, the rain has not stopped, the tide has not disappeared, the embankment is unbearable, and the embankment has burst several times in a row, flooding the fields and houses on both banks, and countless deaths and injuries.
"Buqi, has the embankment in the Wuliupo section been repaired?"
In the rain, Sun Quan stood wet next to the riverbank, his face was gloomy, his eyes looked at the rising river, and asked coldly.
He patrolled the flood-stricken area for his father, the first stop in Qiantang.
But the situation is much more severe than he imagined, it is not as simple as calming people's hearts, and the problem of breaking the embankment has not been solved, and there is no way to start the follow-up problems.
Behind him, the county commanders of seven or eight counties on both sides of the Qiantang River are now standing, Sun Quan did not hold an oil umbrella, and they did not dare to hold an umbrella, one by one drenched like a chicken in soup.
"Junhou, there is a shortage of manpower in Qiantang, and now the embankment has not been repaired!" Buqi was the leader of the former Jiangdong Academy, and he was also the first batch of students to graduate, ranking in Qiantang County.
Among the students of Jiangdong Academy, he is a figure.
The three masters of Jiangdong Academy in the past, to be precise, are all good talents, Lu Xun relied on the help of the family to climb the fastest, and now he has become a noble Jinling County Cheng, and he has gone one step further. It's the prefectural order.
And Sumen, a scholar from a poor family, after graduation, went to the border, and he was able to do a good job in Liaodong, and he was also the county order of the town guard. One step away, someone has already been nominated as the governor of Liaodong.
Buqi, he is also talented, down-to-earth, among the three heroes of Jiangdong Academy, he is the only one who focuses on internal affairs, and he has come step by step to the county order of Qiantang, a large county of Huiji.
"Is there a barracks near the Qiantang River?"
Sun Quan gritted his teeth, his eyes were a little red, natural and man-made disasters. Man-made disasters can be stopped, natural disasters are expected, even in the modern era of advanced science and technology, flooding is also a major unsolvable problem in the south of the Yangtze River.
Now that the embankment has been bursting, it has not been repaired for a long time, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that more people will be affected in the future.
Now because of the bursting of the levee, the number of dead and wounded is close to three digits.
"Report to the prince, Xiaoshan who will be judged. There is a barracks where a thousand soldiers from the county are stationed! Buqi stepped forward. After thinking about it, he gave it up.
Since ancient times, soldiers and horses have not been used to do these things of repairing dikes, and they are overkill.
But Sun Quan asked, and he answered.
"Han Gang!"
Sun Quan can't manage so much, and now only mending the embankment is the first place.
"In!"
"Thou shalt take my token at once. Immediately go to the Xiaoshan Barracks, send 3,000 county soldiers to assist the Qiantang soldiers, and be sure to block the embankment within today! ”
Both Sun Quan's Donghou Decree and Sun Ce's Jianghou Decree had the right to dispatch troops and horses from all sides with a number of less than 10,000 people.
"No!"
Han Gang nodded. With the leading soldiers, he rode his horse in the storm and quickly left the riverbank.
"Buqi County Order, below this, how many villages and people are affected by the bursting embankment of Wuliupo?" Sun Quan took a deep breath, touched the rain on his face, his eyes were a little gloomy, and asked.
"Report to the prince, now around the Qiantang River, four or five county seats, and the downstream areas have basically been submerged, the crops in the fields have been destroyed, the houses have also been destroyed, and tens of thousands of people have been affected!"
Bu Qi followed closely behind Sun Quan, who was also in the rain, wet and drenched, and answered Sun Quan's question: "The number of deaths, according to statistics, has been nearly a hundred. ”
"These people, no matter what, you must find a way to settle down!"
Sun Quan squinted his eyes and said coldly: "If you want money, I'll give you money, if you want food, I'll give you food, but if someone doesn't settle well, I'll throw you directly into the academy!" ”
"No!"
When Bu Qi heard this, he trembled, and his face suddenly became resolute.
"Let's go down and have a look!" Sun Quan walked downstream along the riverbank.
"Junhou, now that the wind and rain are heavy, you are already soaked, it is better to return to the county yayi station and rest first!" A county magistrate came out and said with some respect.
"A certain person who was ordered by the king to quickly bring calamity to the people for the king could not rest at this moment and continue to walk!" Sun Quan walked on the riverbank with one foot of mud and one foot of sewage.
"By the way, who are the experts in water nearby?" Sun Quan suddenly turned his head, swept his gaze, and asked.
They are all engaged in politics, speaking of which are laymen who block the embankment and control the amount of water that the embankment bears, and at this time, the breach of the Qiantang River is like a star, and there is no professional person, and it is really difficult to get it.
"There's one person!"
Bu Qiu thought for a while and said: "When the Qiantang River was first rising, there was a person in Xiaoshan County who predicted that the embankment would burst this year. ”
"Where are the people now?"
"My subordinates inquired in many ways, but they didn't know!" Bu Qiu shook his head, a little regretful, when the embankment broke, he had always wanted to find this person, but Xiaoshan County ordered not to hand over people.
"Xiaoshan County Order, stand up!"
"Prince!" A middle-aged man glanced at Bu Qi with resentful eyes, and walked out tremblingly.
"Where are the people now?" Sun Quan asked directly.
"In ...... In the ......, the middle-aged county ordered his teeth to tremble, and he couldn't say a reason for a long time.
"Say!"
Sun Quan has been in the top position for a long time, and he has been marching for many years, and his words and deeds are full of great majesty and evil spirit, which suddenly frightened the middle-aged county commander and turned blue.
"In the prison!"
"Very good, this is the official of my Wu Kingdom!" Sun Quan smiled coldly, a little sarcastic.
"The subordinates know their mistakes, please forgive the prince!" The middle-aged county magistrate is a member of the Yu family, and he hurriedly crawled on the muddy ground, kowtowing and shouting.
"You go in person, invite this person out, you hear clearly, it's an invitation, not a mention, respectfully invite, if he is not satisfied, I will let your head fall to the ground, understand?"
Sun Quan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his calm tone was very sharp.
"No!"
When the middle-aged county magistrate heard this, he immediately crawled down.
"You all listen to me, as the parent official of a county, if you can't make decisions for the people, you will give me back to raising pigs and plowing the fields!" Sun Quan flicked his sleeves and said coldly.
"Obey the teachings of the marquis!"
When everyone heard this, they trembled, and hurriedly bowed respectfully and saluted.
Throughout the morning, Sun Quan walked along the bank of the Qiantang River with a group of county orders, encouraging the people to repair the embankment, and also visited the affected people, in the grass hut built by the government, and comforted them with kindness.
In the afternoon, Han Gang led more than 1,000 county soldiers to join the operation to plug back the gap in the embankment, several county towns, thousands of people, plus thousands of county soldiers, Wu Liupo's breach was blocked back in just one day.
At the post station in Qiantang County, Sun Quan changed his clothes and approached an old man, this old man was the water conservancy expert in Buqi's mouth, and the old man who was trapped by Xiaoshan County because of the prediction of the embankment breaking.
"Old Moqiu, the prince I visited!"
"Don't be polite, sir!"
Sun Quan raised his head and glanced at it, this old man was about fifty years old, he had been in prison for a while, and he didn't look decadent, he was very energetic: "I made you suffer!" ”
"Old decay is not bitter, but old decay is useless, let this people suffer from floods!" The old man sighed.
"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter!"
But now Sun Quan didn't look at him too much, and asked directly: "Mr. Mo, look, up and down the Qiantang River, the gap in Wuliupo has been blocked, will the embankment break?" ”
"Junhou, this year's rain will not stop until at least August, and it is estimated that there are still a few embankments downstream!" Speaking of water conservancy, Moqiu was in good spirits.
"Will there be a gap?" Sun Quan's heart was slightly cold.
"Hmm!"
Mo Qiu looked at the map of the Qiantang River on Sun Quan's desk, pointed at it, and said, "Junhou, the drawings of this embankment are many years ago, in fact, here, here, it has not been built for a long time, and it is very fragile!" ”
"Buqi, Han Gang!"
"In!"
"You and the others, immediately take everyone who can be used, and go to repair the embankment of this ferry port and strengthen them!" Sun Quan's eyes came back to his senses from the drawings, glanced at Mo Qiu, and said, "Mr. Mo, please go and guide this matter yourself!" ”
"That's what so-and-so should do!"
Moqiu nodded. (To be continued......)
