The plan has been decided, Xue Xiang didn't dare to delay any longer, and first went up the south slope with Fang Laoshi, so he summoned the two or three hundred young men on the slope and held a short meeting. Of course, it was said that it was a meeting, but it was actually Xue Xiang's assignment of work, and at the moment, he arranged for everyone to divide into three roads, the first way, to go back to the village to organize people to knot ropes; The second way, go to the township and the county to report the news, although Xue Xiang believes that the idea of blowing up the embankment is from the two top people in the county, but he also believes that now, when the explosion of the embankment has become a luxury, those people dare to sit idly by; The third way, the number gathers strength, enchantment sandbags, earthwork, and begins to fill in the earth.

Xue Xiang arranged it here, two or three hundred people, divided into three and scattered a clean up, after all, what is the current situation, this group of young people in Qiaokou Village is very clear, and this is a struggle to defend their homeland, naturally everyone is competing for the first, all of them are struggling.

But he said that there were two or three hundred people, and only about 20 people went back to organize the knotting ropes and rushed to the township and county to report the news, and most of the rest went back to pick up shovels and began to dig in the sand field under the embankment.

Less than half an hour passed, and two or three hundred young men from the neighboring village of Ligang Village rushed over with baskets, because Xue Xiang had told Fang Laoshi and others not to leak the matter of blowing up the embankment, so these young men from Ligang Village only heard that the embankment was about to collapse, so they summoned and rushed over in a hurry. After all, what kind of water potential this old irrigation mouth is, few people in Matou Township don't know.

These two or three hundred young people joined, and the degree of excavation and excavation was much faster, and these five or six hundred people gathered together, and after a long time, dozens of people in uniform rushed over, and it was the militia of the militia brigade. When they heard that the dam was about to burst, they hurried over to help.

Speaking of which, although this group of militia does evil on weekdays, and even treats the villagers like that in Qiaokou Village, they still have a bit of military affection in their bones, so let this group of people fight against guns, maybe before they go to the front line, a group of people can run away. But when it comes to flood fighting, excavation, and filling, these people are on the front line. You don't even have to shout.

What are you doing? It turns out that in peacetime, even the regular army could not find an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, let alone these amateur troops. Who wants to be left behind. After all, after every such incident, the personnel who participated in the war, especially those who were involved with the soldiers, would automatically be rewarded for their meritorious service.

Besides, the matter of blowing up the embankment. The members of this militia brigade did not know at all, they only knew that they had come here under martial law on the orders of the Ministry of Armed Forces. Otherwise, Gundam wouldn't have worked hard to light these dozen fuses alone, and wouldn't it be easy to call a dozen people to order one by one? Of course, the militia did not know about the matter of blowing up the embankment, but it was normal, after all, it was so secret, and the matter of the importance of the relationship was naturally extremely secretive.

In fact. And that's exactly what happened. Let's elaborate. There are only six people in the entire Xiaoshan County who know about the explosion of the embankment, that is, Wei Qiming, Yu Dingzhong, Song Yuntong, and Gao Gao. In addition, Kong Er was stunned and Monk Yan was stunned, and he didn't even know that Mao Youcai was wealthy. That's why, that day, Mao Youcai said to Wei Qiming, "The Finance Bureau will soon flow gold and silver", and he was at a loss.

In fact. This whole thing was only determined with the tacit consent of Wei Qiming and Yu Dingzhong. Of course, the city government of these two people will naturally not be stupid enough to sit in one place and discuss how to blow up the embankment, after all, this kind of tacit thing, whoever says it is stupid. To put it in detail, these two people have never even spoken the word "fried", but one day, Wei Qiming and Yu Dingzhong met by chance in the canteen, Yu Dingzhong handed over a newspaper that the fire in Jinshan County, a neighboring county, burned down the granary, and received a special subsidy from the province.

And the reason why Kong Er stunned and Monk Yan knew was because, first, Gundam needed these two to act in a terrifying drama and make it reasonable for the militia to martial law Qiaokou Village, and secondly, burying **, plus the warning embankment, it was not something that Gundam could complete alone, so he simply didn't bother the two masters, so he dragged Kong Er stunned and Monk Yan to participate together.

Because Gundam has absolute faith, the two will not, and dare not tell the truth, the truth. After the martial law in Qiaokou Village, the Xiaoshan County Party Committee held a ventilation meeting, at which the financial crisis was repeatedly emphasized, and the granary fire in Jinshan County was briefly mentioned, and the fire prevention in the granary of Jinshan County was requested.

Which one of the three who can get mixed up with the Standing Committee is a fool, and the three of them, who have no connection, even hold a special Standing Committee to discuss, and what it means is self-evident.

Of course, this ventilation meeting was also held before Xue Xiang arrived, and this was the scene where Fang Laoshi led the villagers to break through the cordon and kowtow to the outskirts of the county.

It is precisely because of these many twists and turns that Xue Xiang asked for leave, Yu Dingzhong and Wei Qiming were very welcome, and they were busy approving it, that is, they were afraid that he Xue would have an incident at this time. But who thought about it, he was so scared that in the end, he still asked Xue Xiang to stir up a mess. Of course, this ventilation meeting was also held before Xue Xiang arrived, and this was the scene where Fang Laoshi led the villagers to break through the cordon and kowtow to the outskirts of the county.

It is precisely because of these many twists and turns that Xue Xiang asked for leave, Yu Dingzhong and Wei Qiming were very welcome, and they were busy approving it, that is, they were afraid that he Xue would have an incident at this time. But who thought about it, he was so scared that in the end, he still asked Xue Xiang to stir up a mess. At this moment, Xue Xiang naturally had no intention of thinking about what would happen if he disrupted other people's good things. At this moment, he stood on the embankment, his mind was all pulled by the mighty autumn water and the shattering embankment. Because the long rope has not yet been knotted at this time, the number of young people digging and filling in the sand field under the embankment has increased to nearly 800 people. In this way, all the bigwigs of Xiaoshan County, who were already unhappy that he Xue someone had broken a good thing, guaranteed that a wild and indiscriminate bombing could blow him Xue someone into the Nine Shadows Abyss!

Xue Xiang kept staring at the cracks on the embankment, and almost put his eyes on the ground, but fortunately, Fang honestly didn't say anything, although the embankment exploded a gap, it couldn't collapse for a while, because the cracks on the embankment had stopped at this time, and there was no sign of expansion.

"County Magistrate Xue, County Magistrate Xue, the rope is knotted, the knot is done!"

Xue Xiang was lying on his stomach observing the crack, and more than a dozen people suddenly rushed over on the south slope. The dozen or so people were whipped on their shoulders and crossed against a mass of cables about seven or eight meters high and more than a foot wide. From a distance, it looks like a huge dark cloud.

Cable, after this life-saving thing was brought, Xue Xiang didn't dare to delay any longer. More than 30 people were gathered and began to walk ropes, set ropes, knot ropes, and ropes more than 3,000 meters long. Half an hour's work was unfolded, and the two ends were knotted between the two peaks, and two large trees were found and nailed. In this way, a rope of life is completed.

At this time, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only an hour before it got dark, Xue Xiang beckoned Fang Laoshi and the village chief of Qiaokou Village, Gao Shanghao, to hurry back to the village to prepare dry food and torches. This party and the higher two went to the party, and the one who went to report the news turned back. It wasn't the dozen or so people who came back. Rather, the black press pressed two or three hundred.

Among the two or three hundred people, the leader was a red-faced thin man, a tall man, who shouted at Xue Xiang from afar: "County Magistrate Xue, I'm Feng Kaishan, I'm sorry...... When you came to the township. It just so happened that I organized the comrades ......"

At this moment, where is Xue Xiang in the mood to pursue these details with him. He interrupted with a wave of his hand, and said, "Okay." Comrade Kaishan, it is important to rescue the embankment, the current situation must not be said by me, you can also see it, nonsense, let's not talk about it, I built a temporary berm flood control command center, I serve as the commander-in-chief, you serve as the deputy commander-in-chief, and all the members of the Matou Township Party Committee team have joined the command center......"

Xue Xiang arrogantly arranged a position for himself at this time, not because he was an official addict, but because he knew very well the truth that "if the name is not right, the word will not go well, and if the word is not good, the thing will not be done". To put it in detail, although he Xue is the leader of the county party committee and the deputy county magistrate, he can be specific to one township and one town, and his strength is naturally not as strong as that of these local snakes, and besides, he, the deputy county magistrate, is only in charge of finance, and has no subordinate relationship with Feng Kaishan in terms of actual powers and responsibilities. And at present, Xue Xiang is using the berm to prevent flooding, and the establishment of this so-called command center is precisely to clarify the subordinate relationship.

Xue Xiangdu opened his mouth in front of these many people, and issued an order, Feng Kaishan frowned slightly, and then responded, after all, Xue Xiang is not an ordinary deputy county magistrate, but a member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee, and the core leader of the Eight Classics.

In fact, at this time, Feng Kaishan was also full of doubts. Because, what kind of investigation he led the team members to do today was not his scheduled itinerary at all, but he received a phone call early in the morning, asking him to act like this. And he led a group of equally inexplicable members of the township committee to go around the most remote moat village all morning, and before he could return to the village, he heard a report that the berm of Lao Guankou was about to collapse.

Feng Kaishan really knew too well what the scale of the berm of Lao Guan Kou was, because when he built this embankment, he had personally participated in it, and he knew everything about the materials and sturdiness in it.

"Why is it suddenly going to collapse at this moment, and it happens to collapse when County Magistrate Xue comes down, and you have to lead people to avoid it yourself, so many coincidences, can it still be called a coincidence?" Feng Kaishan has been thinking about the key to this series of things in his heart all the way, but he hasn't figured it out in the end.

But at the moment, it doesn't matter whether you can figure it out or not, the important thing is to keep this old irrigation berm. After all, if the berm collapses, the victims may not be tens of thousands of acres of farmland in the villages under the embankment, looking at the current weather, it is rainy, and it is not sure when the rain will fall, and it may implicate the entire Matou Township at that time. If Matou Township is flooded, then the first unlucky person will be his acting secretary.

Thinking about this section, Feng Kaishan naturally had no opinion on Xue Xiang's establishment of this Laoshizi command center, and when Xue Xiang finished speaking, he guided a group of members of the Matou Township Party Committee and Xue Xiang to make a brief introduction.

At this moment, even if Xue Xiang was impatient, he had to be familiar with the subordinates who were temporarily contained. Fortunately, the members of the Matou Township Party Committee also knew what it was like at the moment, and they each exchanged their names and simply said hello, but it didn't take a few minutes.

After the temporary command center was established, Xue Xiang did not delay any longer, and immediately began to issue orders, even avoiding a brief meeting. He ordered Feng Kaishan and Xia Ping, a member of the organization committee of the township party committee, to lead the people to collect the woven bags, Chen Kun, deputy secretary of the township party committee, and Wang Mingming, deputy mayor of the town, went to be responsible for logistics and supply, and the remaining four members of the township party committee were assigned by Xue Xiang as the captain of the excavation team, each leading hundreds of people, and they were desperately digging under the embankment. Everyone knows that the current situation is critical, when everyone is really attentive, all desperate, when the sky is just dark, there are four huge earthwork mounds under the berm, filled with thousands of woven bags is more than enough.

Soon after the earthwork was dug up, Feng Kaishan led a large army to arrive, and there were thirty or fifty wheelbarrows on the south slope, full of woven bags, and the gang was just about to drive up the berm, but they were stopped by Xue Xiang pulling his throat, and arranged for Fang to organize people to carry the woven bags nearby. As soon as the thousands of woven bags were transported to the earthwork, it was completely dark, but fortunately, the head of Qiaokou Village, Gao Shang, had already brought lighting torches and frames of steamed buns.

Thousands of people were immediately divided into two groups by Xue Xiang, one was bagged, and the other was dining, the bagging sweat was like rain, and the eating was even more devouring, and some simply took a steamed bun and began to play with their lives.

At that time, night fell, the wind was surging, Xue Xiang bit half of the steamed bun in his mouth, but he couldn't swallow it, and after careful calculation, he was also busy from the early morning to now, and the water and rice did not hit his teeth, but Xue Xiang was anxious, but he just didn't have any appetite. He held a kettle and poured water into his mouth, and it was easy to soak the mouth full of steamed buns to soften, and when he swallowed it, he faintly felt that the berm under his feet was trembling slightly.

Startled, Xue Xiang immediately threw the kettle and shouted: "Hurry up and bag, hurry up and bag, the old people and children who deliver food, hurry up to the south slope, go up the south slope!" ”

Xue Xiang exhaled and exhaled, and the sound spread for a hundred meters, and in an instant, the people who were all eating or busy followed Xue Xiang's instructions and started operating.

"County Magistrate Xue, it's not good, it doesn't look like it will last long, according to our people, if we want to prevent the embankment, I see enough, it's really not okay to withdraw quickly, no matter how important Tian is, it's not more important than human life!"

Since the dry food was transported, Fang Laoshi has been standing with Xue Xiang, and at this time, he was naturally aware of the movement on the embankment, so he persuaded him.

Xue Xiang hurriedly said: "Old Fang, you tell me the truth, we thousands of men, can't even make up for these two holes?" The water level here, I asked Lao Gao, it is only seven or eight meters deep, these tens of thousands of bags of sand and soil can still be filled? ”

Fang said honestly: "County Magistrate Xue, that's not what you said, the berm flood control seems simple, there are too many tricks inside, this embankment looks solid, but in fact, there are few insects and rats inside, of course, if this is not so two, the whole big hole, this embankment is still solid and resistant, can be guaranteed for ten years, but now, after those two blows, it is not just to fill these two big pits, those holes inside are shaken, and they may not be what they have become, so, At present, it seems that this embankment only needs to prevent the location of these two holes, but in fact, the entire embankment has become a hidden danger. ”

Fang said honestly, Xue Xiang's heart fell, he, a water conservancy layman, only then did he know that he had thought things simple, and when he was desperate in his heart, he suddenly said: "Old Fang, since there is no possibility of holding it, why didn't you say it earlier, and let the big guys toss so much?" Xue Xiang showed the contradiction.

Indeed, if there is really no drama, why didn't Lao Fang say it earlier, and let these thousands of people be busy for several hours, digging out so many mounds of soil, is it possible to want to see the excitement?

Sure enough, Xue Xiang asked, and the old man was silent for a long time before he raised his head and said: "County Magistrate Xue, if you want to save the embankment, it's not that there is no possibility, it's just that it's just ......."

"Don't grind and chirp with Lao Tzu, it's all here, and you still play tricks with Lao Tzu?" Xue Xiang slapped Fang Laoshi on the shoulder, his eyebrows angry. He was really annoyed at this moment, but he didn't expect that this honest farmer would also play with him, and give himself a ladder to go up the house, not to mention that he Xue didn't plan to get down from the house, so he was calculated, he was really depressed.
