In the middle of the Wei River, the rain was pouring down, the wind was howling, and in the wind and rain, there was a group of soldiers in blue uniforms on the riverbank staring at a small boat in the river in the wind and rain.

The boat was crumbling in the wind and rain, as if it was about to capsize at any moment.

But at this time, there were several soldiers in blue uniforms fighting there.

"Captain, I'll do it."

"Captain, let's come with me, Xiaohuzi is only two years old this year, this is going to be without a father, how can you let your sister-in-law take him to live."

"Less nonsense, if something happens to Lao Tzu, how can the county treat my family badly, the pension is enough for Xiaohuzi to grow up, and my merits are enough for him to enter Lantian Academy without exams, if he can read something, it can be regarded as giving our old Wang family the glory of the ancestors, as for you kid, you just married Chunni, the child is not yet, die here, what should Chunni do, Chunni is a good girl, you can't let her stay alive."

"Captain, how long have I been married, if I sacrifice, Chunni can remarry without children, if you sacrifice, my sister-in-law will not remarry for the sake of Xiaohuzi, so I'll come."

"No, it's definitely not going to work......"

"Okay, don't rob it, captain, the third child, one of you has a family and children, one has just gotten married, it's a pity to die, or I'll come, I'm an old bachelor, no worries, this is a hard job, it's just right for me to come, Lao Tzu has eaten the food of the county for so many years, it's time to do something for the county, for the people of Lantian, okay, don't rob it, I'll come."

At this time, I saw a middle-aged man, snatching the rope in the captain's hand and putting it on himself, reaching out to knock down the captain's hand that wanted to grab the rope and saying, "Don't rob it." ”

The captain heard this and said: "No, I don't agree with you to go on this mission, I am the captain and I have the right to arrange the mission, and I will carry out this mission." ”

"Wang Daguo!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face suddenly became ugly, he roared angrily, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, the captain was stunned, he had never seen a middle-aged man so angry, he looked at the middle-aged man blankly.

"Master."

The middle-aged man's face sank like water at this time and said: "Big country, if you still remember that I am your master, don't rob me." ”

The captain looked at the middle-aged man's resolute eyes, and he couldn't say any more, the flood situation is like this, this Weishui has reached the water level that has not been encountered in a hundred years, and now it is a storm, at this time, it is almost a fight to go down to the river to measure the water level.

The middle-aged man looked at the captain's softened eyes and said, "Don't worry, captain, don't you know my skills, it's okay." ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man tightened the rope on his body, took a few steps to the boat, waved his hand to the blue uniformed soldier behind him, and said: "Don't be angry one by one, wait for my good news on the shore, maybe, in a while, I will mold two big carps for everyone, let's go back and drink, hahaha......"

The middle-aged man said and bent down to pick up the oars and rowed the oars, facing the strong wind and stepping on the huge waves to row towards the middle of the river little by little, he needed to go there to confirm the water level, they needed to notify the downstream embankment of the water situation in time, if the water level rose above the warning line again, the downstream embankment should be ready to discharge the flood.

Otherwise, if the flood washes away the embankment, the damage caused by the flood cannot be dealt with in time, so the responsibility of the flood soldiers is to report the water situation.

The captain looked at the middle-aged man rowing a small boat and moving forward in the wind and waves, his mood was very complicated, and his eyes couldn't help but be rosy.

He was an officer who retired from the Lantian army, and he should have been assigned to a comfortable civilian department, but his first culture was not enough, and he was unwilling to deal with the group of literati in the civilian department.

After coming, he was assigned to a master, that is, this middle-aged man who took advantage of the waves, the master has a very cheerful personality, loves to talk and laugh, and usually has no shelves, and his business ability is absolutely excellent.

Later, he learned that the three generations of the master's family were all flood soldiers, and his grandfather, second uncle, and fifth uncle were all swept away by the flood and died.

He learned a lot of knowledge from his master, and with the improvement of his professional ability, he was soon promoted to the captain of the flood soldiers, for no other reason, he was a demobilized soldier, Lantian was preferential in this regard, and his master was a native of the flood soldier, after Lantian unified Shaanxi, he was directly incorporated into the Ministry of Water Resources, and continued to serve as a flood soldier, and his qualifications were far inferior to him.

When he was promoted to captain, his master also bought wine and meat and happily celebrated for him, and he was also very happy, and drank with his master, but later he learned that if he didn't come, the position of the captain of the flood soldiers was his master's.

He took the position of master, he blamed himself very much at the time and was very sad, but when the master knew it, he smiled and said: "I'm used to being careless, you really don't understand if you let me manage people, you came just in time to help me solve the big trouble." ”

Later, Master helped him countless times in his work, and today Master is taking risks for himself and his juniors......

The captain wiped his tears, stepped forward a few steps forward and wrapped the rope around himself a few times, and shouted: "All cheer up, pull the safety rope to Lao Tzu, Lao Du's life is in our hands." ”

Hearing this, everyone responded and said, "Knowing the captain, we won't let go even if we die." ”

The wind is howling, the style of the river is extraordinarily large, the waves blown by the wind are big, and the middle-aged man is stepping on the wind and waves, rocking the boat, and fearlessly going to the water level observation point in the middle of the river.

Close, thirty meters, twenty meters, ten meters......

As the closer it got to the middle of the river, the more difficult it was to drive the boat, but Lao Du still drove the boat smoothly with the experience of his ancestral flood soldiers and three generations of life, and approached the water mark in the center little by little.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he managed to get close to the central area, looked at the water mark, and suddenly his eyes widened, and the water level had exceeded the warning value by a full inch.

Seeing this, Lao Du was terrified, according to the experience of their Lao Du family, the water level reached this position, and the downstream embankment was about to collapse.

Thinking of this, Lao Du turned his head, took out the red flag on the boat, and shook it desperately to the shore.

"Captain, Lao Du has signaled, ah, it's a red flag, a flood, a flood!"

There are only two kinds of flood flags, the white flag means temporary safety, and the red flag represents the danger of immediate flood discharge, immediate flood discharge!

Seeing Lao Du's signal, the captain of the flood army shouted: "Hurry up and go to the nearby post station, telegraph to the downstream embankment, and discharge the flood immediately, there must be no mistake!" ”

"Yes!"

After listening to the captain's order, a herald immediately ran out to convey the order, water and fire are ruthless, and such a thing must be notified to the front-line dam as soon as possible.

Soon the news was delivered, and the herald rode directly out of the horse for a mile to the front-line station, and then telegraphed the downstream dam to release water and discharge the flood.

And here Lao Du completed the task and was about to return, but just halfway through, a wind and wave hit him directly, Lao Du didn't react, and the next moment the whole person was directly detained in the water with the boat.

"Ah, Master!"

The captain's eyes widened when he saw this scene, and he shouted excitedly, and the next moment he immediately shouted: "Pull the safety rope, pull!" ”

The rope was pulled in an instant, followed by a figure slowly dragged up from the water.

"Poof, huhoo......"

Lao Du climbed out of the water, spat on his saliva, and swam to the shore against the wind and waves, but the wind and waves were too big, and if there was no safety rope, he would be blown away directly like that small boat, becoming the first sacrifice of the third generation of Lao Du's family.

The safety rope collapsed tightly at this time, but fortunately there was a safety rope, and this rope was personally ordered by the county to be equipped with these front-line flood soldiers.

In the past, the casualty rate of flood soldiers was as high as 70 percent, and as long as there was a big flood, many flood soldiers would die because of this, and the main reason for this was the lack of safety protection.

In the past, the flood soldiers either did not have a safety rope, or the safety rope was a grass rope, and the grass rope was soaked in water, and then rubbed by the sand and gravel in the water, and it was almost a common thing to break, so as long as the flood soldiers were washed away, they were dead.

Lao Du's fifth uncle, because he was in the water, the hemp rope of the safety rope was broken by the stone, and then it was washed away by the water.

And Lao Du's safety rope is not ordinary, it was ordered by Lantian Li Chaosheng to be improved, and the funds were sown, so the water conservancy department sent them this rope that cost three taels of silver.

Don't underestimate this rope, this rope, the inside is composed of a soft wire, the wire is not very thick, in order to increase flexibility, close to the wire outside a layer of cow tendon, increase the toughness of the rope, and finally use cooked cowhide hand rubbing out, to ensure the toughness of the rope.

The safety rope allows Lao Du to remain strong in the wind and rain, and in the wind and waves, he can rely on the pull of everyone a little bit, and is slowly pulled to the shore, and when Lao Du is pulled to the shore, the whole person is out of strength, just now it was too thrilling, even if it is an old sailor for many years, he was swept into the water by the wind and waves just now, and he almost didn't react.

If it weren't for the experience, if he closed his mouth in time, he would probably have choked to death in one breath just now, and even if he was pulled down by the safety rope in the end, he would be a dead body.

"Huhuhuhu...... Lao Du gasped heavily, and it took a long time to exhale, and the first sentence he opened his mouth was: "Did you send a message to the downstream embankment?" ”

Hearing this, the captain said, "Master, a telegram has been sent to the embankment department, and the flood discharge should have been organized now." ”

"That's good." Lao Du breathed a sigh of relief, and the captain looked at Lao Du and said, "Master, what is the water level and why is it so urgent." ”

Hearing this, Lao Du said: "It has exceeded more than an inch of the cordon a hundred years ago. ”

When the captain and the others heard this, their faces became ugly, the water rose by an inch, and the embankment was a foot high, otherwise it would be difficult to block the torrent, and now it has exceeded the warning line by an inch, that is to say, it is about to reach the highest point of the downstream embankment, which is definitely a huge test for the dam.

At this time, the captain said with a serious expression: "This rain is still falling, if it doesn't stop at night, I'm afraid that the downstream embankment will not be able to bear it, and it must be discharged on a large scale." ”

Lao Du sat up from the ground and said: "These are not the things that we flood soldiers should take care of, hurry up and report the matter, so that the county Zun knows the situation here as soon as possible and makes plans as soon as possible, so that more people in Lantian can be saved." ”

"That's right, immediately telegraph to the Ministry of Water Resources!"

The captain clapped directly.

……

"County Honor, Ministry of Water Resources."

Gu Zi pushed the door into Li Chaosheng's office, at this time Li Chaosheng was lying on his back on the chair, rubbing his eyebrows, he didn't sleep well all night last night, and the rain outside made his heart burn.

At this time, Gu Zi said the information of the Ministry of Water Resources, and Li Chaosheng reacted almost immediately, sat up straight and said, "I'll take a look." ”

Gu Zi immediately put the information in front of Li Chaosheng's desk, Li Chaosheng opened the information and looked at it seriously, looking at Li Chaosheng's face became ugly.

"County Zun, after a night of intelligence summary, the current water level of all rivers in Lantian has risen above the warning line, and even close to the high water level that has not been seen in a century, floods are inevitable, and the wind and rain are still not stopped, floods are inevitable, although the dams around the country have begun to discharge floods one after another, but the water potential is still difficult to stop, I am afraid that the flood discharge area will be expanded, and the county is also invited to decide."

The information was very brief, but Li Chaosheng knew that water and fire were ruthless, and there was not much time left for him to make a decision, so Li Chaosheng said to Gu Zi: "Take out the Lantian water conservancy map and I'll take a look." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi got up and hung the prepared water conservancy map on the wall from the filing cabinet on the side, Li Chaosheng put his hands behind his back, looked at the water conservancy map, and stared at the location of the dam and the village under the dam.

The head is running fast, where to discharge the flood, in order to minimize the loss, how to deal with the affected people after the flood, and how to rebuild the affected areas, now the farmland in some areas has been planted with summer grain, this flood rush, the loss must be heavy.

Li Chaosheng looked at the water conservancy map and weighed the pros and cons, the previously reserved flood discharge area and the prepared reservoir have all been filled, and the next step is to discharge the flood to the farmland and village.

Thinking that Li Chaosheng's face gradually became solemn, he took out a pen and drew a few circles on the map, and then said: "Pass the order, the Weihe River will take Dawangzhuang, Xiaowangzhuang, and Yujiagou as the flood discharge area, and the local governor will coordinate, preside, and the militia will carry out, and immediately relocate the local people, the Ministry of Administration will immediately divide the resettlement area nearby, and the logistics area will ensure the living needs of the people, and the government will compensate and build houses after the disaster, and the Propaganda Department will do a good job of relevant publicity, and the Ministry of Justice will immediately send people to supervise local security. If there is an opportunity to make trouble, it will be severely punished! ”

Li Chaosheng quickly made a deployment, Gu Zi recorded on the side, and followed Li Chaosheng and said: "In the Jinghe River Basin, Wangjiapu, Erdaohe, and Sunjiabao are the flood discharge areas, and the above policies are implemented. ”

"Tong River is ...... by sheep's horn ditch"

Li Chaosheng quickly deployed, trying to avoid factories and other industrial areas and densely populated areas, planning the most suitable disaster shelter area, and trying to minimize the loss.
