Looking at their appearance and posture, they are all respected elders, and then looking at the expressions of the masses, they are also convinced of these elders.

Chen Mu smiled with satisfaction, this is what he wants, what Great Xia needs, and what the people are eagerly looking forward to.

After this adjustment, the residents at the scene were very happy to receive the supplies, and the whole scene was smooth and harmonious. After everyone received the supplies, they would walk up to Chen Mu to thank him, and Chen Mu kept smiling and returning the salute.

That is, in an hour's work, thousands of copies will be distributed.

Chen Mu checked the disaster situation in the county with Lu Qiang, the county commander, and Lu Qiang also answered the same questions.

In the end, Chen Mu ordered a group of people to go to the disaster area downstream to give orders, and distribute them to the village as a unit, without registration, and if there is a shortage of manpower, volunteers can be recruited to assist in the distribution.

The rest of the flood fighters were divided into two teams, one was responsible for distributing supplies to various villages, and the other went to the flood site with Chen Mu.

After arriving at the scene, Chen Mu found that it was a township chief who organized people to repair the embankment, and none of the people from the county town came.

Chen Mu took a look at the situation at the scene, the original embankment was gone, the river was spreading into patches, and the township chief was leading people to build embankments from both sides to surround the flood.

Chen Mu shook his head again and again, "It's better to be sparse than blocked, you can't block it like this, the flood is so big, it will be washed away if it is enclosed." ”

The township chief slapped his thigh, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right!" We've been around for a while, and we didn't last a few days and then rushed away. However, if this is not contained, what else can be done? ”

Chen Mu asked, "After you surrounded it last time, how many days did you hold on?" ”

Township Chief: "It's always raining these days, and we stayed here day and night, constantly repairing it, and it lasted for five days. Otherwise, you won't be able to last even a day. ”

Chen Mu thought for a moment, "Okay, let's make up here first, and then find a place to drain it." ”

At Chen Mu's order, more than 2,000 flood fighters picked up tools to help the villagers build the embankment together.

The local villagers are already exhausted, and these flood fighters are all young and strong men, and they are basically allowed to do the work.

As soon as Chen Mu saw this situation, he said: "Fellow villagers, you can go to the side and take a rest, and send a few people to guide the flood fighters to work." ”

The townsman was shocked, "His Royal Highness the Prince, how can you just let these military masters work?" This is our own work, and the military master is already grateful to be able to come and help, this ......"

Chen Mu interrupted him with a smile, "Okay, okay, these are the flood fighters I brought, just to work." ”

"And this is not your job, but the work of the people of Great Xia, as soldiers of Great Xia, they should work for the people of Great Xia."

"You say, don't you?" Finally, Chen Mu looked at the soldiers and said.

The soldiers were full of energy and replied one after another:

"That's right! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right! ”

"That's right! We are here to fight the floods! ”

"When I was selected, I said yes! We all volunteer! ”

Looking at the kind faces, the township chief and the villagers were very moved.

"Thank you to the flood fighters!"

"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince!"

The villagers put aside with happy smiles and tears, and the township chief led more than a dozen people to direct the flood fighters to work.

The flood fighters drove piles, carried sandbags, and pulled ropes, and did a good job. Soon, the dikes on both sides were about to close.

But at this time, the water also becomes very strong, and sandbags are washed away from time to time.

The township chief was so anxious that he was sweating, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Chen Mu said: "Prepare a rope and build a human wall!" ”

The soldiers heard the order and immediately began to prepare. It wasn't until they were almost ready that the village chief realized what they were going to do.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I can't help it! The warriors will be swept away by the flood! ”

Chen Mu shook his head firmly, "If this gap is not solved, I don't know how many people of Daxia will be affected downstream. Moreover, the flood fighters are tied to ropes around their waists, and this danger is worth taking. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said so, and the township chief didn't dare to say more, he turned his head to look at the resolute faces of the flood fighters, and his heart was a little more steady.

After tying the ropes, the flood fighters slowly walked into the water.

As the saying goes, three feet of water pours out a strong ox, and now the water here is also two feet deep, and the warriors have a very difficult way to travel.

Chen Mu ordered the soldiers at both ends of the wall to tie ropes again, and then the comrades on the embankment pulled them away.

Now they were much more relaxed, and they walked smoothly to the designated position in the water.

The flood fighters in the back hurriedly drove piles, lined up to throw sandbags into the water, and after a while, the embankment was finally closed.

The villagers cheered excitedly and praised the flood fighters and the crown prince Chen Mu.

This is not the end of the matter, this is only the first step. Immediately afterwards, Chen Mu led people to the surrounding area to find suitable flood discharge points, and then excavated drainage canals.

After seven days of hard fighting, all the drainage canals were dug, and Chen Mu ordered the dikes to be gradually opened to start draining the floodwater.

The river flows eastward to more than a dozen depressions, which will soon become new fertile fields for planting seeds of rice from the northeast.

If the problem in the upstream is solved, the pressure on the downstream will be much smaller, although it is said that the heavy rain will cause the downstream to burst the embankment, but it should be within the controllable range.

Chen Mu left behind 5,000 flood fighters, who were sent by the county commander Lu to distribute supplies and repair the embankment if there was a new disaster.

In addition, the experience of flood control here was compiled into writing, and the horse was quickly distributed to the downstream counties for circulation.

Then, Chen Mu took 25,000 flood fighters and continued to embark on the journey.

It was still the old way, Chen Mu took 5,000 flood fighters first, and quickly rushed to the next area in a carriage.

Advancing eastward along the Yangtze River is the northern part of the Southern Xinjiang region.

Chen Mu thought that after receiving his guidance plan here, the flood relief work would be better than that of the Central Plains, but he was wrong.

When Chen Mu came to the county office, he found that it was empty, and the house was in a mess, as if it had been turned over several times.

Chen Mu thought for a while, and then ordered to march towards a township upstream.

After coming here, Chen Mu finally found that the official who led the masses to fight the flood was another township head.

And the prefectural order of this county ran away at the beginning of the flood!

Chen Mu said angrily: "These officials from big families are really unreliable, and they only care about their own lives when something happens. ”

"The order, the county order of Nanye County escaped from the battle, it is a crime of misleading the country, and it is wanted by the whole country, and the rest of the officials and officials are accomplices and will be sent to the national capital for trial."

A soldier went to give an order, and Chen Mu set his sights on the embankment again.
