The retreat of Dawangzhuang was carried out smoothly, that night, the whole village of 13,000 people, packed up their belongings, prepared dry food, set up the cart, the next morning, the whole village people lined up, three or five groups, helping each other, evacuated from Dawangzhuang, Yu Zhen stood in the front, looking at Dawangzhuang behind him, his eyes were full of reluctance.

The large contingent of the people continued to advance, with the village and town cadres leading in front, and Qingshui County had already built a temporary residential area for them in a safe area, and everything they got there would be under the responsibility of the Lantian County Government.

In front are village and town cadres, in the middle are the common people, and on the periphery are the 500-strong militia of Dawangzhuang, and the militia is mainly responsible for the discipline of the common people and prevents bad people from mixing in with the common people and engaging in sabotage.

The team continued to advance, and with the evacuation of the people, the upstream Weihe embankment received an order from the higher authorities to immediately open the flood gates.

As soon as the news arrived, the dam management personnel of the Ministry of Water Resources, who had been anxious like ants on a hot pot, came back to life, and at this time they shouted to the outside desperately: "Tell me quickly, release the flood, release the flood!" ”

After shouting this, the dam manager almost collapsed in his chair, he barely closed his eyes these nights, the pressure was too great, if there was a problem with the dam before the flood discharge order was issued by the superiors, he, the dam manager, would be the first person responsible.

And now that the order has been given, the flood has leaked out, and the dam is safe, his responsibility has been reduced to a minimum, and without the support of responsibility, his body that has not slept for several days can finally no longer support it.

WhewW......

Soon the dam keeper's snoring sounded, and he was accompanied by the sound of the flood water crashing outside.

"One-two, hey-young, one-two, hey-young~"

The slender men struggled to pry open the dam gates with their gears little by little, and as the gates were pried open one by one, the next moment the blocked torrent poured out in an instant.

Thundered......

The water rushed out, and the sound of the flood was like thunder, rumbling, and the eardrums of people were painful.

Watching the flood rushing out, all the front-line personnel stationed at the dam breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the houses that were trampled downstream and the villages that were destroyed, they couldn't help but curse: Thief, I just don't let people live well.

Thundered......

The flood passed, the earth shook, the rocks collapsed, the trees along the way were uprooted by the water, and the water and fire were merciless.

Thundered......

The flood quickly rushed into Dawangzhuang, at this time Yu Zhen took a group of people to stand on the high mountain and witness everything, and saw that the flood rushed into Dawangzhuang from the high ground like a giant python, and the next moment the houses in Dawangzhuang were instantly trampled by the flood, and rows of houses collapsed in the flood, and a few of them were strong and quickly flooded.

The sown crops were washed away almost visibly, and the entire Dawangzhuang instantly became an ocean.

The villagers of Dawangzhuang, who witnessed all this, were all stunned, watching the foundation they had struggled for many years be destroyed in an instant, which was not something that anyone could bear, and countless people cried bitterly on the spot.

As a person cried bitterly, more people joined the ranks of crying, even Yu Zhen couldn't help but secretly wipe his tears, sad tears couldn't help but flow from the corners of his eyes, he watched Dawangzhuang develop from scratch little by little, and also watched Dawangzhuang be directly washed away by the flood in front of him, this feeling was simply devastating, and tears of anger flowed out of his eyes.

At this time, the deputy lieutenant patted Yu Zhen's shoulder and said: "Old Yu, mourn, the village will be ruined, as long as there are people, we can build another Dawangzhuang, not to mention that we still have the county respect, everything will be fine." ”

Yu Zhen wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "I understand, I understand, I understand everything, but I just want to cry, woo woo woo ......"

When the deputy lieutenant heard this, he patted Yu Zhen's shoulder, and left without saying anything, at this time, he couldn't persuade him, he had accompanied Yu Zhen to build Dawangzhuang all these years, and his feelings for Dawangzhuang were no less than Yu Zhen's, so he could understand Yu Zhen's current feelings.

However, while being sentimental, he also has super confidence in the future, if such a terrible disaster is placed elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty, it will not be the end like it is now, but the destruction of the family and the destruction of lives.

However, it is just an ordinary natural disaster in Lantian, although the people will have a short period of pain, but no one has lost hope in the future, and everyone thinks that after this disaster, they can still live a stable and stable life.

This is the difference between having a strong government and not having a strong government, and when there is a strong government, when facing disasters, everyone does not need to despair, because their future is bright.

But when you don't have a strong government to back you up, the future is destruction.

The flood ruthlessly submerged the entire Dawangzhuang, watching the once, struggle, and living homes destroyed in the flood, on the top of the mountain, countless people cried loudly.

But after crying, they all gathered, and under the leadership of Yu Zhen, they came to the temporary shelter, waiting for the flood to pass and start their new life.

It rained heavily for five days and five nights, and when it was just sunny on the fifth day, Li Chaosheng led the disaster relief personnel of the Lantian County Government and some officials to the first scene of the earthquake relief.

"County Zun, be careful, the road is slippery."

"County Zun, this embankment is not completely stabilized, you better not go, it's dangerous."

"Yes, County Zun, or you wait here, I'll call the big guy over and meet County Zun."

In order to save the downstream villages, all the members of the 2nd Division of the Lantian Militia were transferred to the first scene of flood relief yesterday, and used the sandbags filled by the flesh and blood with the villagers to plug the gap in the Wei River.

Li Chaosheng came here, the first time he heard about this incident, he ignored the dissuasion of hundreds of officials, and resolutely came to the first scene of flood relief.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng rushed to this embankment that had just been blocked for emergency rescue and disaster relief early in the morning.

"County Zun, you really can't go forward, the embankment in front of you has just been repaired, it is not stable, and it may collapse at any time, as the leader of a county, you can't go to such a dangerous place."

", my people, I can go where my soldiers can go, I, the county lord, should not sit and drink tea in the back of the county government now, but should stand in front of my people and my soldiers for the first time, at this time they need me more than ever."

Li Chaosheng said categorically, then turned to look at the officials behind him and said, "If you are afraid of danger, you can go back by yourself, and you don't have to follow me." ”

As soon as Li Chaosheng finished saying this, everyone shut up, at this time, who dares to be blind, the county is not afraid of danger, you still dare to run back, then you are pure and looking for death, at this time, if you are really stupid and run away, even if Li Chaosheng is magnanimous and really does not hold you responsible, but other officials will also wear small shoes for you, and your political life will basically be over.

Therefore, when Li Chaosheng finished saying this, everyone's mouths were closed, and they just quietly followed Li Chaosheng and walked towards the embankment.

Soon everyone came to the embankment, as soon as they came here, Li Chaosheng's face became solemn, only to see that this place was in a mess, everywhere there were traces of the flood raging, not far away a gap, at this time with sacks of sand and gravel had been blocked, and under the embankment, countless shirtless and wet militiamen leaned against the dam, regardless of the surrounding dampness, all sat on the ground and fell asleep.

Looking at the extremely tired cheeks, Li Chaosheng turned his head to the local chief and said: "These are heroes, your logistics work can't be delayed, you can't let them sleep on the ground like this, it will hurt the body." ”

Dali Chief, Sun Jiadong said to Li Chaosheng: "County Zun, the dormitory of these disaster relief militiamen is not far away, and there is a perfect resting place there, but these soldiers are so tired that it is difficult for them to walk through. ”

Sun Jiadong said that he remembered that when the flood peak was strongest yesterday, the embankment burst, and it was too difficult to fight the flood at this time, and he had to find a way to block the embankment, otherwise, the embankment could not be strengthened at all, so at such a critical moment.

Gao Qisheng, the commander of the militia company, mobilized soldiers and voluntarily formed a disaster relief commando, and Sun Jiadong still remembers the scene at that time.

At that time, the embankment burst, in the face of the surging flood, Gao Qisheng stood on a high place and shouted: "We are the people's soldiers, when the people of Lantian need it most, we should come forward, and then I want to form a flood relief commando, and the members are tasked with blocking the flood with flesh and blood, this task is very dangerous, I Gao Qisheng is the first to sign up, who is willing to form this human wall with me." ”

After hearing this, the soldiers were distracted for a short time, and the next moment they all signed up, seeing so many people sign up, Gao Qisheng was very relieved, but he still didn't want them all, but put forward the following requirements.

"There is only one child in the family."

"Those who have been in the army for less than a year are out of the ranks."

"Under the age of 20 is listed"

As soon as the three conditions came out, a bunch of people could be excluded according to reason, but none of the soldiers of a company present came out of the ranks, Gao Qisheng walked off the high platform with a black face at this time, looked at a very young guy and directly pulled it out and scolded: "You rookie egg, have you been in the army for a year?" ”

"Report to the company commander, plus it's just eight months since today."

"Then you're not on the list."

"Report to the company commander, but I joined the army in September last year, and I have already passed the New Year in the army, according to civil rules, it is counted as a full year."

"Get out of the way."

Gao Qisheng kicked the person aside, followed by another person: "Yang Junwei, aren't you the only son in the family?" ”

"Report to the company commander, no, I still have my brother above me."

"Fart, your brother died three years ago, and now you are your only son, out of the ranks."

"Report to the company commander, you only said that it was an only son, but I am not."

Gao Qisheng looked at this person and shouted: "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, hurry up and get out." ”

Gao Qisheng walked over one by one, he even knew too much about the situation inside, and quickly eliminated the unqualified people, and suddenly there were sixty or seventy people left in the entire team.

Gao Qisheng looked at these sixty or seventy people: "Soldiers, behind us are the people of Lantian, that is, the county respect, for the people, for the county respect, follow me!" ”

But at this moment, the recruit who was kicked out of the team by Gao Qisheng ran up again and said, "Company commander, you are not fair, you use privileges." ”

Gao Qisheng frowned and said, "What privileges did I use?" ”

"You discriminate against recruits."

Gao Qisheng looked at the recruits and said, "The recruits are young and have little experience, so we veterans need to go to this time." ”

"Veterans, recruits are all soldiers, if you are a recruit, you have to exercise more, and I have a good water nature, I am not the only child in the family, I meet the requirements of all company commanders, I ask to participate in the war."

"Shall I allow it?"

Gao Qisheng looked at the recruit, and the recruit's immature face appeared resolutely: "I will go even if I violate discipline." ”

"You, keep up."

Gao Qisheng has no time to talk nonsense with him, if Gao Qisheng usually wants to criticize this recruit, or even retire him, a soldier who does not obey discipline is not a good soldier, but now, the situation is critical, and he has no time to care about this.

"Brothers, go on, block the flood peak and buy time for the brothers in the back."

"Yes!"

Saying that, Gao Qisheng rushed to the breach of the dam with sixty or seventy people, followed by a headlong rush into the breach of the dam, and led a full sixty or seventy people to block the flood peak with their bodies and reduce the damage of the water flow to the sandbags of the embankment to be built behind him.

You must know that with the strong current of the flood peak at that time, if a sandbag is thrown into it, it will be directly washed away by the water, and it will not be able to build a strong enough embankment.

However, the birth of the human wall slowed down the flow of water, and the warriors behind him immediately began to drive piles, place sandbags, block the flow of water, and finally build a new dam.

But it is dangerous to build a human wall in a flood, and the mortality rate is very high.

However, God still favored these heroic soldiers, and after completing the task, there was no sacrifice, which has to be said to be God's noble hand.

And every time Sun Jiadong thinks of the danger at that time, he feels that he has more than one season.

Li Chaosheng and his entourage walked along the embankment, and soon Li Chaosheng saw a young recruit with a childish face that had not disappeared, and at this time he was sleeping on the dam with his hands on his hands, looking a little cold.

Sun Jiadong said on the side at this time: "This is the recruit I told you. ”

Li Chaosheng bowed slightly, Sun Jiadong wanted to wake people up, Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said, "Let him sleep for a while." ”

Saying that, he personally untied his coat and covered it for the recruits, Lantian was able to maintain his advantage in such a chaotic situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty because of these recruits who were not afraid of life and death, thinking that Li Chaosheng looked at the rows of sleepy soldiers lying on the embankment, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Only with you can Lantian have long-term peace and stability, and only then can it have today's prestige!"
