Chapter 257: The Man Who Stomped the Embankment
He Zhichun's subordinates flew dragons and phoenixes, but they used thick hemp rope to sew bags, which was too easy for a little lady who could embroider.
She and Yunxia sewed a thick stack after a while, and Xue Gui carried it to the soldiers who loaded the mud and stones.
Jingzhou City is also Jiangling City, and Liu Xuande's story of Jingzhou is widely spread among the people. In addition to the north, Jingzhou City is surrounded by rivers on three sides.
This section of the river is meandering, there are 16 big bends in total, the river sand siltation raises the riverbed, and it is connected with the water of the Qingjiang Dongting, it is easy to cause flooding, the Yangtze River is thousands of miles long, and the dangerous section is in the Jingjiang River.
In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Jingzhou Thorn Shi Huan Wen sent people to repair the golden embankment, which is now the Jingjiang embankment that He Zhichun is stepping on.
Because the water capacity of the Yangtze River is dozens of times that of the Yellow River, since the establishment of the Daqing Dynasty, most of the major floods have been in the Yellow River; Although the Yangtze River is also a small flood every three years and a large flood every five years, it has never been in such a critical situation in recent years.
Therefore, it is not for nothing that Yang Thorn Shi and Liu Sima from the north did not take this flood in their hearts.
The golden embankment has protected Jingzhou City for so many years, and there has never been an accident, and this year may be fine, people always have such a fluke mentality.
But if such a rainstorm falls for a few days in a row, then Jingzhou City will really be in danger.
He Zhichun saw that He Yu had not rested for a long time, put down the needle and thread in his hand, took a big stick and walked over.
"Daddy, take a break. If you fall, who will come to control the water, wait for that Liu Siwei to come? After a while, Cui Jiu brought Zhuang Ding up, and you are not bad for picking soil. ”
He Yu was indeed a little tired and panicked, he had been hit by that arrow before, his qi and blood were lost, and his body bones were much worse than before.
Putting the burden on his body, he glanced at the stick in He Zhichun's hand, and said funny: "What is Ah Qiao doing with a stick?" Do you beat the river pigs? ”
He Zhichun nodded and said meaningfully: "Well, whoever is a hero will fight whomever he wants." ”
He Yu doesn't know why, can a finless porpoise still be a hero? What do you say?
"Luming Mansion, this Jingzhou can have a flood storage embankment, in case of flood diversion and drainage, there can be a suitable place."
Lu Xianling was frightened by He Zhichun's bold words, and stammered: "Your lord wants people to dig embankments to divide the flood? ”
He Zhichun shook his head, "Be prepared, the sand wall that blocks the water can only block it for a while, if God doesn't open his eyes and need to go that far, we must also be aware of it and try to reduce losses." ”
He Zhichun is not out of words, Yuezhou's embankments are like this, such as Jiangnan embankments and the like.
If it is really unbearable, all the residents will be moved out in advance, and then the flood water will be artificially diverted to reduce the pressure on the entire embankment. But it's a last resort.
The chosen piece of land is almost empty, and the people are homeless.
Lu Xianling groaned for a moment, and the old tears were rampant.
"There is a suitable place in a certain county, and there is no one living there. Jingzhou Mansion City is the ancient city of the year, properly drained, the people in the city seem to be born in the peach source, do not know the countryside, has become a country in many places. ”
"I asked the county lieutenant Lu to come and ask for help, but Liu Siwei, that brute, just refused to send troops. There was a river outside, a lake flooded inside, and that day it rained heavily, and in the middle of the night, water poured into the house, drowning countless people. A certain led the living villagers, took a small boat, searched one by one, and could save one by one. Then all the people went up to the embankment, and there was no home left anyway! ”
He Zhichun listened, and tears flowed down unconsciously. He Yu was even more deeply touched, when he was young, he had encountered the same thing.
Not only did the crops not be harvested, but many people's earthen houses were washed down by the water, and the wealth accumulated by the villagers for generations was not careful, and they had nothing but to sell their children and daughters, gnaw the bark of trees, and live until there was another harvest.
Even the whole family died, and no one died.
Lu Xianling wiped his face, the rain was too heavy, and the old face under the hat could no longer tell which was the tears and which was the rain.
He Yu excitedly grabbed Lu County's hand, "The imperial court has not received an urgent report from Jingzhou, nor has it said that there have been countless casualties. ”
Lu Xian Ling was stunned for a moment, and glanced at He Zhichun, no wonder the sage sent the princess here, it turned out that he didn't know how dangerous it was here.
The three of them discussed the flood discharge together for a while, and then they saw a large number of people and horses walking towards the embankment, and the first three of them were not majestic in brocade clothes, and the three of them were followed by a white and a black Erlangjun.
The black one is Lu Xun, and the white one is Cui Jiu.
The one in the middle with a goatee and a look of concern for the country and the people is this Jingzhou Thorn Shi Yang Jiang, on his left is Liu Siwei, who has gone and returned, and on his right hand is Yang Jialangjun, who has had a relationship with He Zhichun.
Lu Xun glanced at He Zhichun, led the strong men in Jingzhou City behind him, scattered on the embankment, and several people were in charge of a section and began to pile sandbags.
Yang Jiang shed tears before speaking, "Princess Tianbao, He Sinong, Yang is ashamed of the people of Jingzhou!" Although he is dedicated to controlling the water, he can't resist natural disasters in the end, and Yang has not slept for several days, so he is late. ”
Although He Yu was angry in his heart, but the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, they had to give Yang Jiang some face when they first arrived, so they stepped forward and said a few words.
Cui Jiu rolled his eyes, this Yang Thorn Shi is much more powerful than Liu Siwei's wine bag and rice bag.
Thinking about it, he went straight over, and pulled up He Zhichun, who was squatting on the ground, "Ah Qiao, it's raining so hard, why don't you go to the pavilion to stay." What can be done if you have gonorrhea? The strong men from the first batch of families who moved away from Jingzhou City came, and they were arranged first, and Yang Tingshi and Liu Sima waited back to Chang'an to see if they could get their heads to the ground. ”
Yang Jiang was scheming, and when he saw Cui Jiu pulling He Zhichun to the pavilion, he also stepped forward and said, "Your lord, hurry up and take shelter from the rain, the dog has brought you some hot food, use some first." ”
He Zhichun looked at Yang Buju, and almost died of disgust!
"No need, the people are homeless, there is no rice to eat, and I can't eat it."
Yang Jiang smiled, with no displeasure on his face, "The princess is worried about the country and the people, which is admirable." ”
Yang Buju and Liu Siwei don't have such good tempers.
Especially Na Liu Siwei, who had just suffered a loss here from He Zhichun, originally wanted to find Yang Tingshi to support the scene, but he didn't expect that He Zhichun would also not give any face.
Suddenly jumped three feet high, "Princess, what do you mean?" first beat the lower officials, and now he doesn't take Yang Tingshi in his eyes! ”
He Zhichun smiled, "Liu Sima Mo isn't dizzy, right?" When, where, and what did I hit you? ”
Liu Siwei was dumbfounded, just now! You just hit so-and-so, and you stepped on so-and-so, and the eyes of the three thousand government troops are watching!
He looked over to find a few witnesses, but saw that the army of Nafu was scattered, and he was in full swing.
He grabbed one casually, it was the strong man Yuankui, "You say, did Princess Tianbao beat so-and-so?" ”
Yuan Kui shook his head, "I just peed and didn't see it!" ”
Liu Siwei was angry, and quickly ran to the place where He Zhichun hit him before, jumped a few times, and pointed to the ground, with a smug face.
Before he could speak, he heard Lu County Commander shouting, "The embankment is cracking!" Liu Siwei, you short-lived cub, dance your mother's ghost! ”
Liu Siwei stiffened in place, how could it be, he just jumped a few times, and the Jingjiang embankment was collapsed by him?
