Chapter 128: The berm
As soon as this news was said, it was tantamount to throwing a flying thief pomegranate in the crowd, and the people's team immediately opened the pot.
Everyone is in Huaxian County, and many people are local residents, once the Yellow River bursts, the water irrigates Huaxian County, and these people are afraid that they don't know how many will be the military rations of the soldiers of the Dragon Palace. Besides, their own industries are all in Huaxian County, once the embankment breaks, what should their industries do?
For a while, everyone just asked, "What?" The flood is coming? Can our embankment still be successful? Didn't you say that it was impregnable, why was this going to collapse? ”
There are also smart ones, who run away without saying a word, as for the affairs outside the left...... People are already dead, so what do they do, take care of themselves first.
Yang Chengzu picked up the horn and shouted, "Don't mess up, everyone, there is a court and a yamen, what are you panicking about?" Don't trample on each other, for there will be more deaths and injuries than water. Ladies and gentlemen, listen to my orders, all of them have them, immediately follow me to the river embankment berm, if you dare to patrol and not move, you will not cower, and the military law will be engaged! Now, let's go! ”
As soon as he gave the order, he should rush out first, followed by the brocade clothes, then those brocade soldiers, and then the military remnants. These people are all in official uniforms, their clothes and armor are distinct, their actions are neat and uniform, and more than 100 men walk in a queue, although they are sparse and scattered, compared to the regular army, but they are also a little majestic, and those people, including the Zuo family, are automatically separated into a one-person alley, and no one dares to stop them.
Wang Tietou walked behind, kicked the brazier over, and several pieces of red-hot charcoal fell on the coffin, and the Zuo family looked at him, but they didn't even dare to say a word.
What do people do, they go to the river embankment, they go to the life and death of the elders in a county in Baohua County. At this moment, if anyone dares to stop or accuse, isn't it difficult to get along with the old and young masters of Huaxian County? Many people were still scolding Jinyiwei for his misdeeds, but at this moment, they said with tears in their eyes: "A hero, a hero." ”
In fact, the officers and soldiers of this era also have to participate in disaster relief, but the government has never been aware of the importance of propaganda and public opinion. Even if the officers and soldiers saved the disaster, the imperial court would not carry out large-scale propaganda. What the common people see and hear, they are all thieves like combs, soldiers are like grates, they are all officials and soldiers, the fence is broken, the eldest girl hangs herself, and the little daughter-in-law throws herself into the river.
Yang Chengzu is well aware of the importance of propaganda and public opinion, and today's messenger's call was discussed by him and Zhang Jiayin. When the time comes, send someone to shout such a voice and falsely report the water situation.
As soon as he heard the water, no one had the heart to dwell on Zuo Wannian's death anymore, but would only care about the water situation, and the big disaster on the side of the Jinyi Yamen could be resolved. And he ordered everyone to wear official uniforms, not to scare those ordinary people, but for an advertising effect.
Hundreds of brocade clothes dressed in official uniforms lined up to save the embankment, and this picture is guaranteed to leave a deep impression on the people. After performing like this, the image of a good family in brocade clothes and embroidered armor can almost be established, and his plan will be considered a success.
As for the fact that after talking about the embankment, it was found that the flood was not so serious, is it hard to say? Jinyi Ti rides, the Son of Heaven is a personal soldier, naturally majestic, and when he arrives at the place, he scares the water tribe away, and the flood is calm, is there anything wrong with this?
The morale can be inflated, and as soon as there is such a fuss, the hearts of the people who the Zuo family have finally gathered will be scattered, and it is not so convenient to find such a bunch of people to make trouble at the gate of the Jinyi Guard. When this wind passes, he has a way to slowly clean up the Zuo family, so that they can understand how lucky it is to have only one person to do the funeral.
The White Lotus Holy Maiden couldn't help but say, "Good means." I really didn't think of it, he has such a trick, clever, clever. Sister, you have to think about it, there is such a husband, you will have to be played by him in the future. ”
"What a husband, he didn't even look at me squarely." Huofeng Huang lowered his head and said helplessly.
"As long as my sister wants him, he has to be, he can't even do such a little thing, what kind of sisters are we? Let's go to the embankment and see what new tricks he can have. ”
When Yang Chengzu rushed to the river embankment, he thought that he was here to brush up his reputation, but when he saw Zhang Jiayin's face, he realized that it seemed that there was something wrong in his calculations.
"Big brother, what are you?"
I saw Zhang Jiayin take off his official clothes, wear a short shirt, and run up the river embankment with a sandbag. Seeing him coming, Zhang Jiayin said: "What are you still doing in your official clothes, take it off quickly, come with me to carry the bag, the embankment has burst, we have to fill the gap." ”
It's been a long time, is this true? Yang Chengzu only felt that his eyes were dark, and he said in his heart: Why don't you say it, this thing is true.
He originally wanted to co-star in a play with Zhang Jiayin and fool this matter over. But how did you do it, the fake embankment burst became the real embankment?
Although he arranged for the women in the family to prepare, he even built a boat through the relationship of the ninth master. But water and fire are ruthless, if the river embankment really bursts, how much will your property be lost, and can you keep all the women in your own family?
Yang Chengzu's eyes were also red, and he shouted, "Sons, good men protect the three villages, good dogs protect the three neighbors, now it's time for us to sell a hand." On weekdays, we eat and drink slippery counties, and now it's time for us. If anyone retreats, go home and farm by himself, don't eat this bowl of rice in brocade clothes from now on, and follow me who is not afraid of death! After saying this, he snatched the sandbag from Zhang Jiayin's shoulder and rushed towards the breach of the river embankment.
The addition of more than 100 of his life force has indeed played a huge role. In the past few days, it has rained continuously, the water level of the Yellow River has soared, and the pressure on the river embankment is very high. Although these river workers have been expanded again and again, and there has never been a shortage of food and wages, they have been exhausted by continuous battles.
This time, the flood peak came, and the river embankment cracked a hole, although the hole is not too big, but if it is not filled in time and the gap continues to expand, the final result may be a disaster. Zhang Jiayin organized two rescues, but only maintained the gap in the embankment and did not continue to expand, but he could not block the opening. Only then did he send people around him to the county town to find Yang Chengzu for help.
These more than 100 men got started together, and the morale of other river workers was also boosted, and everyone carried soil and stones, and the situation was changed. At this moment, an old river worker shouted: "Oh no, another wave of flood peaks is coming, and we are afraid that this embankment will not be completed." I can't plug the gap. ”
Yang Chengzu and others also found that the torrent in the distance was raging, and the rolling turbidity current roared and hit, and this mother river seemed to punish her children and let the people of this county return to their mother's arms. Even if you don't know much about river work, you still have an instinct, this breach can't be filled, I'm afraid that when this wave of flood peaks comes, this embankment will really be finished.
"It's over, it's hopeless." Zhang Jiayin sat on the ground weakly, as the magistrate, he seemed to have the only way to go to martyrdom.
"Oh my God...... "I don't know how many rivermen sat down on the ground, crying bitterly.
"Can something big happen?" The White Lotus Holy Maiden was overjoyed, but then there was an inexplicable horror, and some things that had been deliberately covered up in her memory woke up at this moment.
"What to do, what can I do?" The brocade clothes looked at this situation, and they were all blind, but they couldn't do anything.
"Old and young masters, life and death are at this moment, if you don't get your hands on the sand and dirt bags, take people on top of them, and follow me if you are not afraid of death!" With a roar, Yang Chengzu had already jumped into the river and pounced on the breach.
