The new and old troops stationed in Xuzhou were a total of fifteen battalions, five battalions were stationed on the embankment, and three other battalions were left in the city to pacify the people as a reserve, and the remaining seven battalions were all transferred to dig the floodway.

There are twenty miles to be widened in the section of the tributary river, and there are three li between the tributary and the Kuishan embankment, and in the era of lack of heavy machinery, this project is definitely not small, and it is even more fatal to be completed in two or three days, and everyone has a string on their heads.

6 Yong grabbed the shovel in one hand and pointed to the aspect of Xuzhou with his finger.

"You all see, that is the place where you were born and raised, and the fathers and elders of your hometown, your parents and relatives are all looking at you, so you will regard this flood in front of you as the first enemy, rush forward, defeat it, and destroy it!"

"Yes!"

When all the young men heard this, their blood boiled, and they took up their shovels and picks, and formed a neat line, each of them sharing a section, one with a pickaxe, two with a spade, and two with a basket of earth.

The pickaxe soldier was responsible for throwing the hard lot away, and then the shovel followed, and all the excavated earth was loaded into the basket and transported away as quickly as possible.

Everyone exerted all their strength, sweat and rain flew together, the slippery ground, from time to time someone fell, making a muddy water, and the fall hurt and hurt, but there was no complaint, and the hard ground on the surface was constantly sent away.

Seeing that after a whole night of work, the sky gradually revealed a little white, and suddenly there were more dim lights around it, like a long dragon, meandering forward. Gather in this direction.

There were also bursts of noisy sound in the direction of Xuzhou, and after a while, countless people gathered, dressed in robes. Wearing worn-out oil-paper umbrellas, some carrying shovels and pickaxes on their shoulders, and some carrying baskets in their hands, they braved the wind and rain to come to the construction site.

There was a long procession, of all men, women, and children, and they saw soldiers who looked like mud imps. I can't help but feel distressed.

"Didn't eat, take it!" The old lady, who had almost lost her teeth, took out two boiled eggs from the basket and stuffed them into the soldier's hands.

"There's also baked flatbread. Let's all eat! ”

Goo! The soldiers who hadn't eaten for almost a day and a night screamed in their stomachs, especially when the fragrance reached their noses, and they all swallowed vigorously, but everyone still didn't dare to take these things.

"Sir. Just be gracious. None of these kids are iron-clad, it's time to eat! The old woman cried loudly at 6 Yong.

"That's right, we can also do this job, and we guarantee that we won't delay the effort!"

Faced with the bitter pleading of these ordinary people, 6 Yong also had to nod: "Eat and rest for half an hour, and then continue to work!" ”

When the common people heard this, the women took out the contents of the baskets, and there were eggs. There is rice porridge, there is flatbread. There are steamed buns, as well as dried and fresh candied fruits, and even jelly beans and sour dates, in short, everything that can be in the house has been taken out.

The soldiers, who were already hungry and had stomach cramps, grabbed the food and kept stuffing it into their mouths. Gobbling it up, it's like a pack of wolves.

There are also people who are extremely tired, with steamed buns in their mouths, lying in the muddy ground, and they are drowsy. Looking at the young faces, many people couldn't help but have red circles in their eyes and shed tears.

"Old and young masters, people's hearts are long, this Xuzhou is also ours, we can't let the soldiers get tired, everyone works together!"

"Good!"

Some people took the lead, some responded, shovels and pickaxes moved together, and the common people were all engaged in labor.

At this time, there were thousands of people gathered from all directions, and the vast majority of them were people from Tuntian Grange, who had just put their handprints on the contract. As long as you work hard for ten years, you can have your own land, such generous conditions, it is simply pie from the sky, and these victims are already extremely satisfied. Even if you have to work for a merchant, in short, if you have a way to live, you are better than anything else.

"Everyone listen, Grandpa Guo treats us with great kindness, it's time for everyone to repay Grandpa Guo, don't need anything else, work hard, let's work together to survive this catastrophe!" Wu Shouye said loudly to the people under him.

In fact, not only the common people, but even Wu Shouye is the same, he just feels that this time is like a dream. After catching Xu Dingguo by luck, the Wu family had good luck.

Gu Zhenhua gave him the status of a privileged businessman, and with a few purchases, Wu Shouye quickly saved a little money. Immediately afterwards, Gu Zhenhua used businessmen to immigrate to Tuntian. Originally, Wu Shouye's little family background was far from enough, but he got a loan

He went to Shandong for a trip, and relied on his clever tongue to move more than 3,000 people and immigrate to Nanzhili. After the people sent it, it happened that An ** was going to make a lot of munitions, and there was nothing else, so Wu Shouye contracted the task of producing gun barrels.

One hundred wooden poles and one tael of silver, Wu Shouye wrapped 30,000 at once, as long as it is done, he can earn at least two hundred taels of silver. And this also opens a door, which can be contracted in large quantities in the future, what armor, broadsword, military uniform, tent!

Earn two hundred taels for each of them, and you have to add them all up, is this worth it!

As soon as he thought of this, Wu Shouye was extremely grateful to Gu Zhenhua, not that he personally waved the shovel and worked with his life. The wet and heavy dirt was extremely laborious, and with a few shovels, his hands were on fire, and he was afraid that he had already blistered.

"Don't be afraid, work for the grandfather of the country, don't fight for your life, are you still called a master?"

Wu Shouye kept cheering himself up, gritting his teeth and holding on. More and more people gathered from ten miles and eight towns, coupled with the youth and strength of Xuzhou, so that the people on both sides of the branch water have exceeded 60,000.

The military and civilians worked together to clean up as quickly as possible, and finally a 30-meter-long floodway had a little appearance. At this time, the rain in the sky gradually decreased, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

"Damn my God, it's going to be sunny!"

"Let's work hard, hurry up and get the muddy water out of the ditch."

Countless soldiers and civilians held basins, barrels, and scoops. Jars and other rudimentary tools to clean up the muddy water in the ditch. Others have accelerated degrees, and the floodway spreads to the depths.

"Grandpa Guo. Someone is looking for you! ”

Gu Zhenhua had been holding on to the Kuishan embankment for a night, and at this time he was also extremely tired, and when he heard this, he barely cheered up.

"Bring it here."

After a while, a young man did not have an umbrella, and arrived in front of Gu Zhenhua like a chicken in soup.

"Student Wu Kaijie visited Ji Guogong."

"I came back very quickly, everything was done, and the student returned to his life."

Gu Zhenhua opened his eyes suddenly. looked at Wu Kaijie carefully, and couldn't help but smile: "Boy, is Zuo Liangyu really so easy to deal with?" ”

"Of course. Yiqiē still relied on the tiger power of the lord, and the villain left Nanjing, rushed all the way to Wuchang, and scolded Zuo Liangyu in person. persuade him not to get entangled with Donglin's anti-party. After Zuo Liangyu heard this, he regretted it very much and immediately expressed repentance. The students returned to Nanjing without stopping, but Grandpa Guo had already gone north, and the students chased after him. ”

Gu Zhenhua's fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, and only after Wu Kaijie finished speaking did he smile and said, "To be honest, otherwise Benjue will put you in a sandbag." Throw it down to block the Yellow River? ”

When Wu Kaijie heard this, he was immediately taken aback. couldn't help but take a step back, and asked stupidly, "Sir, how do you know that the student is lying!" ”

Who knew that Gu Zhenhua actually threw out an answer that made Wu Kaijie even more speechless.

"Guess!" Gu Zhenhua laughed: "The princes on Zuo Liangyu's side, how can it be so easy to be soft." ”

"Hahaha, Grandpa Guo, you almost scared me to death, but if the student wants to say that he is not convinced, he can't do it, he is more than willing and not enough!"

"Is Zuo Liangyu in any trouble?"

"Of course, there is trouble, and it is still a big trouble, the student will come back when he arrives in Wuchang this time. I dare to pack a ticket, Zuo Liangyu will not be able to move troops for at least half a year. ”

Gu Zhenhua was also attracted at once, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Wu Kaijie.

Wu Kaijie smiled triumphantly: "Grandpa Guo, just a month ago, the Yangtze River was flooded, and many embankments were executed in a section of the Jingjiang River, and the people were displaced. Zuo Liangyu did not think about disaster relief, but took the opportunity to rob the people and fill his pockets. As a result, after the flood receded, within half a month, the plague was rampant under Zuo Liangyu's rule, and the people of the two lakes died countless times, even Zuo Liangyu's army, and hundreds of people died every day. ”

"Is that true?"

"Students dare to use the head guarantee on the item!"

"Good!" When Gu Zhenhua heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face: "It's really forgivable for sin, you can't live for your own sin, Zuo Liangyu is looking for death by yourself!" ”

"Students prefer to believe that it is the grandfather of the country who is blessed with Qitian."

"Don't be a sycophant, if it's really a blessing, God won't rain hard, seeing that the Yellow River in front of you is not, this big dragon may not be done when."

Wu Kaijie's eyes rolled, and then he whispered: "Grandpa Guo, the student has some ideas and wants to talk to Guogong alone,"

Gu Zhenhua's face was gloomy, he turned around and took him to a secluded place on the side, and then said, "You don't hold back any good fart, just say it if you have something to say!" ”

"Hey!" Wu Kaijie pursed his lips, spoke vulgarly, slandered, and said: "Sir, as the saying goes, how difficult it is to prosper the country, if there is a little disaster, it is not necessarily a bad thing." If the embankment breaks and the people are displaced, what else can they do, either join the army or join the Tuntian Grange, both of which are strongly promoted by the grandfather of the country. According to the idea of lowly duty, this disaster relief meaning is enough, and taking the opportunity to expand the strength and co-opt the people is the right way. ”

Wu Kaijie relied on his courage and finished speaking, and when he saw Gu Zhenhua silent, he continued to persuade: "Grandpa Guo, as the so-called small non-gentleman is not a husband without poison. Besides, during the Song Dynasty, there was also a habit of recruiting disaster victims as soldiers, and I think this is a good way. Xuzhou, millions of people in Guide, if they all join An**, your strength will swell up all of a sudden. ”

Wu Kaijie was about to say more, but Gu Zhenhua suddenly smiled and said, "What did you just tell me, why can't Zuo Liangyu send troops?" ”

"This ......"

Wu Kaijie's face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Grandpa Guo, this is different, Zuo Liangyu did not rescue the disaster, and took advantage of the fire to rob, you have already done a lot, and the people will only thank you for your kindness, and will not say anything else." ”

When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed: "Don't treat the people of the world as fools, the people are smart, why Cao Cao can't unify the world, it's that he plays too much." The strength of An** does not lie in the number of soldiers, not in the number of weapons, but in whether or not it can get the sincere support of the people, the integration of the military and the people, there is a steady stream of living water. If the military and civilians are separated, they will be taken advantage of. ”

Wu Kaijie's face was still a little disapproving, as if he was saying that a bunch of stupid people had something to pay attention to.

"You don't have to be unconvinced, Benjue gave you a task, immediately transport 30,000 loads of grain to Germany to support disaster relief. Three days, be sure to do it! ”

"Grandpa Guo, these two places are more than 300 miles apart, the flood is soaring, students, students really can't send them over!"

"Hmph, think about it, you don't need to look up at me to do things, you should look down at the people!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Zhenhua flicked his sleeves and drove Wu Kaijie away.

Some people may think that Gu Zhenhua's words are a bit pedantic, but in fact, it is not, the people's hearts are ethereal, but it is real, whoever looks down on the people will be abandoned by the people.

"Sir, it's not good, it's raining again!"

Listening to Kang Dali's shout, Gu Zhenhua hurriedly walked out of the small pavilion, only to see that the clouds in the sky had thickened several times, and the black rolling clouds, like a fierce beast, pounced with teeth and claws.

At this time, Pan Yueshan also ran over, and the old man's goatee was full of muddy water.

"Grandpa Guo, it looks like there is still a rainstorm, I'm afraid the Kuishan embankment won't be able to hold it!"

"If you can't hold it, you have to hold it." Gu Zhenhua threw off his coat as he spoke, revealing a sturdy figure.

"Fight war; Desperately, the same is true for water control, let everyone be a hundred times more careful, and be sure to stick to it until the floodway is repaired! ”

"Yes!"

Kang Dali hurriedly went to inform, and at this moment, the rain fell cracklingly, and the slightly calmer river began to rise again, and the water was already approaching the top of the dam.

"Oh no, the dam has collapsed!"

Gu Zhenhua followed his gaze and saw that twenty meters away, a section of embankment more than one meter wide collapsed and fell into the water, and the churning river water flowed out in an instant.

"Not good!"

Gu Zhenhua shook off his big stride and was about to run over.

"Grandpa Guo, don't go, it's dangerous!" Pan Yueshan desperately stopped.

"Mr. Pan, my brother is over there, and my people are behind, where do you want Benjue to hide?"

Gu Zhenhua said, he had already rushed to the gap, and casually tied a hemp rope around his waist.

"The big guy is holding on to the rope, let's plug the gap with our bodies!"

Looking at the churning river and the falling dirt, everyone was too scared to move. At this time, Gu Zhenhua had already reached the gap, looked at the water potential, and jumped down without hesitation.

"Grandpa Guo!"

Li Xu also reddened his eyes: "What are you doing standing stupidly, jump down!" (To be continued......)
