At 6 o'clock on July 3, 1998, Cofferdam Township, Jinghu City

When the muddy and mottled No. 0001 Audi galloped under the polder, Hu Zaoqiu was the first to pounce and said with a crying voice: "Old secretary, you are here!" It's coming! If you don't come again, I'm going to hang myself! ”

Jiang Chaolin got out of the car, looked at the crowd on the polder embankment in the distance, and said to Hu Zaoqiu: "What is it called?" This should be expected! Fighting the flood to the point of halfway and ordering an evacuation is the most difficult thing, and it is not uncommon in the past, so actively do the work! The car radio will come over immediately, ** the order and the broadcast script are ready, and the mobile broadcast will be broadcast immediately! ”

Hu Zaoqiu said: "There is a flood control radio station here, old secretary, do you want to say a few words first?" ”

Jiang Chaolin didn't think about it, so he said, "Okay, I'll say a few words first!" Let's go! ”

When he walked to the radio station, Hu Zaoqiu reported again: "Zhou Jiuyi, the township mayor and party secretary of the party committee, has no idea! ”

Jiang Chaolin snorted angrily and said: "Yes, I know, he is not small, he stood up to Mayor Wen on the phone and openly disobeyed orders!" He asked again, "Is this Zhou Jiuyi a blind Zhou man who wears glasses?" ”

Hu Zaoqiu said: "No, old secretary, Zhou Blind went to Jinghu as the director of the Industrial Bureau early, it is Zhou Jiuyi who loves to drink, and he has no wine bottles, and he gets drunk after drinking two or two!" ”

Jiang Chaolin snorted: "Who should I be, it's Tuesday?" Get him for me! ”

Hu Zaoqiu reminded him: "At this moment, Zhou Jiuyi is afraid that he won't even listen to you!" ”

Tian Liye said angrily: "Mayor Hu, if the old secretary tells you to call, you can call it, what are you talking about!" ”

Hu Zaoqiu glanced at Tian Liye: "What are you ruthless?" I haven't settled the accounts with you yet! ”

Tian Liye said: "If you want to come to the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee, I will wait for you!" ”

Hu Zaoqiu was stunned: "Why did Leader Tian mention it again so soon?" ”

Tian Liye said coldly: "I didn't mention it, it has fallen, but now I happen to be dealing with you and am responsible for coordinating the city's flood control!" Mayor Hu, time is tight, the task is heavy, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, go find Zhou Jiuyi! ”

When Hu Zaoqiu went to find Zhou Jiuyi, Jiang Chaolin had already started broadcasting.

Before the broadcast, Tian Liye first made an introduction, saying that Comrade Jiang Chaolin, director of the Municipal People's Congress, had rushed to Cofferdam Township under the entrustment of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal People's Congress, and now he wanted to make important instructions on behalf of the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal People's Congress. Next, Jiang Chaolin began to speak, once again reiterating the spirit of the instructions of the municipal party committee and the city on the emergency evacuation of 80,000 people in Cofferdam Township, and sternly stated that the officers and men of the troops stationed in Pingping and a large number of vehicles will soon drive up, and it will not work if they do not withdraw.

After the broadcast, Jiang Chaolin asked all the party members and cadres above the head of the village to immediately gather at the radio station.

When party members and cadres came to gather one after another, Hu Zaoqiu dragged the mud monkey-like Zhou Jiuyi in front of Jiang Chaolin.

Jiang Chaolin originally wanted to scold Zhou Jiuyi, but he could see that Zhou Jiuyi's beard was unshaven, his body was muddy and watery, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was so thin that he was out of shape, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he only said angrily: "Tuesday two, did you drink too much?" Yes? Don't even listen to the greetings of the municipal party committee and the city's **? Dare to go up with Mayor Wen, it's really bold! ”

Zhou Jiuyi cried, choked up and said, "Old secretary, I'm ...... I can't help it! Cofferdam Township flood fighting, I am the leader, the people are the ones I led the embankment, the people's belongings are taken away by me, I made a wish to the old and young masters of the township, to live and die with the cofferdam township. ”

Jiang Chaolin said patiently: "Jiuyi, your spirit is good, but you can't force yourself to do anything." ”

Hu Zaoqiu also said: "Yes, Lao Zhou, those of us who are leaders must always be responsible for the safety of the people's lives!" You don't want to think about it, if you don't retreat, if you drown 80,000 people in the water, who can afford this great responsibility? ”

Zhou Jiuyi said: "I didn't say that I wouldn't withdraw, Mayor Hu, the old secretary doesn't know, don't you know?" Didn't I tell everyone everything I should have said? It's because everyone doesn't want to withdraw! ”

Hu Zaoqiu said sharply: "Old Zhou, the key is that you have to take the lead!" ”

Zhou Jiuyi raised his neck and said: "Mayor Hu, you are young, you still have to be promoted, you want to protect the black yarn hat, I don't want to protect it, I don't take this head!" Didn't you get out of your job? I'm just an ordinary cadre, I just want to live and die with Cofferdam Township! Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you fight a war, you still have to have someone to cover the retreat, even if I am covering, okay?! ”

At this time, a lot of party members and cadres had come, and in front of the radio station, there were people standing everywhere on and off the embankment.

Jiang Chaolin felt that what Zhou Jiuyi said was not unreasonable, even if he retreated, someone had to patrol the berm before the evacuation of these 80,000 people, and it was normal to leave some of Zhou Jiuyi's comrades to guard the berm, so he said: "Okay, okay, Jiuyi, let's not fight, you will take a part of the backbone militia to leave the berm, and finally withdraw, now we will have a meeting first and arrange the overall evacuation work, you don't say anything about coexistence and death, this is not good, it is not conducive to our implementation of the spirit of the instructions of the municipal party committee and the city!" ”

Zhou Jiuyi said: "Okay, old secretary, I'm going to patrol the embankment, you can have a meeting!" ”

Jiang Chaolin became angry at this time: "Tuesday two, you stop for me!" Whoever doesn't participate in this meeting will have to participate in it! Gotta do the work for us! You know my temper, at this time you dare to ignore the overall situation, I will make you ugly in person! ”

Zhou Jiuyi is old and is not afraid of Hu Zaoqiu, but he is afraid of the old secretary Jiang Chaolin, and he stands honestly.

According to Jiang Chaolin's instructions, Tian Liye loudly announced the opening of the meeting. The meeting began. Jiang Chaolin is not mobilized, but is specifically arranged, village by village roll call, asking the village party secretary and village director to stand forward. Jiang Chaolin's memory is really good, more than a dozen administrative villages and natural villages in Cofferdam Township can be called, and the nicknames of the village directors of the two hundred million yuan villages can be called. Hu Zaoqiu listened to Jiang Chaolin's roll call, and he thought with shame, old comrades are old comrades, and the work is really real, but he is not so real, he has been the deputy mayor of Jinghu for so many years, and he doesn't know many village directors, let alone people's nicknames.

Jiang Chaolin was excited at the end: "...... Comrades, we have a problem of being responsible for you in the Pingyang Municipal Party Committee and the city, and you also have a problem of being responsible for the masses in Cofferdam Township. The water level of Changjiang River and Jinghu Lake has been high, and the huge flood peak is coming soon, what should we do if we don't retreat? It's okay to lose a little other, you can find a way to help, and you can also find a way to save yourself, but the lives of ordinary people can't be lost! You must be ruthless in this heart, even if you drag it hard, you have to drag everyone away, I, Jiang Chaolin, please everyone! ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Chaolin bowed deeply to the party members and cadres in front of him.

Many party members and cadres understood the righteousness, greeted each other, withdrew from the venue, and arranged for evacuation.

However, nearly half of the people still didn't move, still staring at Zhou Jiuyi.

Zhou Jiuyi was anxious: "Comrades, isn't the old secretary clear enough?" Let's go, let's go! As long as there are people, everything will still be there, and if people are not there, everything will be over! Bring as much as you can to take away, lock the door, and put the livestock in a pen, so that there is no loss if the embankment is not broken. ”

At this time, someone said: "Township Chief Zhou, do you have enough people to guard the embankment?" Can't we keep some more? ”

Zhou Jiuyi said: "No! It's not a bargaining thing, we have to prepare ourselves for the worst! ”

Another person said: "We stayed voluntarily, if there is really an accident, we don't want the municipal party committee to be responsible!" ”

Tian Liye was on fire: "It's easy to say! If you don't want the municipal party committee to be responsible, can the municipal party committee not be responsible? Seeing Hu Zaoqiu stunned on the side, Tian Liye was even more angry, "Mayor Hu, look at the quality of your Jinghu party members and cadres!" I don't know how you usually educate! ”

The fire in Hu Zaoqiu's heart jumped up, this Tian Liye seemed to really want to take the opportunity to get him, so he said: "Deputy Secretary-General Tian, what is the quality of Jinghu party members and cadres, the municipal party committee has its own evaluation, and it is not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!" To say evacuation is to evacuate, why are you pulling so far?! ”

Tian Liye said coldly: "Okay, Mayor Hu, then you just go and say it, just do it!" We've waited! ”

Jiang Chaolin didn't know what happened in Linhu Town last night, and when he saw that their two good friends were arguing at this time, he said, "When is it, are you still arguing?" And don't pay attention to the influence of the masses! Give me a few words! ”

Tian Liye stopped Jiang Chaolin: "Old secretary, don't worry about it, we can't do everything, this is the cofferdam township of Jinghu City, under the leadership of Mayor Hu and Township Mayor Zhou, you will ask Mayor Hu and Township Mayor Zhou to do the work!" Let their party members and cadres come up with some quality! ”

At this time, Gao Changhe called again and asked Jiang Chaolin to answer it, Jiang Chaolin went to the radio station to answer the phone, and before leaving, he explained to Tian Liye: "Liye, if you have emotions, you are not allowed to bring them to work!" Yes?! ”

Tian Liye still brought his emotions to work, looked at Hu Zaoqiu coldly, lit a cigarette and smoked.

This time, the cadres and masses in front of them were even more antagonistic, and they were even more reluctant to move, and they all stared at Hu Zaoqiu.

Hu Zaoqiu was cornered, and shouted with blood-red eyes: "What the fuck are you still looking at? Can't you come up with some quality? Yes? Zhou Jiuyi, how do you usually become the township mayor and party secretary? How can it be that it can't command at such a critical time? ”

Zhou Jiuyi said: "On the embankment to fight the flood, everyone is good!" Good people and good deeds keep coming! ”

Hu Zaoqiu roared: "It must be good to carry out the instructions of the superiors, like this situation on the battlefield, it is necessary to enforce battlefield discipline, and it is necessary to shoot and kill the head!" ”

Tian Liye said on the side: "Mayor Hu, what you said is right, now is the war!" ”

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Tian Liye, it's really a war, I'll give you a shot in the back first!" ”

Tian Liye was not angry at all, and patted Hu Zaoqiu's shoulder: "Mayor Hu, did you hear that?" How touching is that? Yes! Then, his face pulled, "Hu Zaoqiu, I can make it clear to you: I handed over the 100 catties of Tian Liye to you today, and I slipped by a watermelon peel in Cofferdam Township, and I will settle accounts with you!" ”

Hu Zaoqiu was angry: "Who is screaming there?" Who? Scream again and I'll get you! Don't be stunned, it's all scattered, scattered, hurry up and arrange an evacuation! The old secretary has already announced on behalf of the Binh Duong Municipal Party Committee, and if there is really inciting disobedience, arrest it immediately! This is not to scare you! ”

A villager leader shouted in tears: "Mayor Hu, just arrest me, I will die on the embankment!" ”

Zhou Jiuyi was frightened to death, plopped, knelt down in front of everyone, and shouted with tears on his face: "Old and young masters, old and young masters, I beg you, okay?" If you don't leave, I'll ...... I'll jump to Mirror Lake! ”

Everyone was shocked and looked at Zhou Jiuyi, who couldn't kneel for a long time.

Hu Zaoqiu was also shocked, looked at everyone slowly, and asked, "Comrades, do you also want me to kneel down and beg you?" Okay, okay, I'll kneel down and beg you......" he said, kneeling down for granted.

The cadres and masses in front of them just woke up from a dream, and some people stepped forward to support Hu Zaoqiu and Zhou Jiuyi.

At this time, Jiang Chaolin answered the phone and came back, and announced with an excited expression: "Comrades, I have good news for you: the evacuation work of our cofferdam township has received the cordial care of the provincial party committee, and Comrade Liu Huabo, secretary of the provincial party committee, has personally come forward to contact the head of the large military region, and the group army stationed in Pingyang has urgently mobilized to assist in the evacuation!" What are you waiting for? Let's go! ”

Then the crowd dispersed.

At the same time, the car radio station in Pingyang City also drove from afar, and the radio broadcast sound from far and near, repeatedly broadcasting ** order, sentence by sentence, sound after sound, snatching people's souls:

“…… The following broadcasts the ** order of the people of Pingyang City! The following broadcasts the ** order of the people of Pingyang City! At present, the flood control situation in the city is extremely severe, and the water level of Changjiang River and Jinghu Lake has risen rapidly, and its rising speed is so fast and the amount of water is so large that it is rare in history. The second major flood peak in Changjiang has been formed and will arrive in our city at about 16 o'clock on July 3. In view of this serious situation, in order to protect the safety of people's lives, in the early morning of July 3, the people of Pingyang City held a special mayor's office meeting and decided to urgently evacuate 80,000 residents of Cofferdam Township, Jinghu City. To this end, the general order is as follows: 1. ......"
