Spring.

Lots of rain.

In the north, there is less heavy rain, but the weather is cold.

It is rainy in the south, but the weather is getting warmer and warmer, but this rainy weather also makes people feel a little depressed.

When will this rain stop?

The New Year is about to pass, and the people are also thinking about going out to work, but this continuous heavy rain makes the people in the south hesitate to look forward to the rain.

Especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The rain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has always been the most.

In the Suzhou area, the water of the canal has begun to be prevented.

In several counties and towns under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, the local government has begun to prevent the canal from bursting its banks.

The people didn't have too many worries, but they just sighed that they couldn't go out to work because of the ghost weather.

After a night, there was another heavy rainstorm, and the prefect of Suzhou was deeply worried, and mobilized all the people in the government to immediately go to the dams in various counties and towns to start reinforcing and building!

Once the embankment bursts, Suzhou will be flooded.

……

Upper reaches of the Yangtze River, somewhere.

Narrow on both sides, heavy rain, this is a large rocky mountain, the mountain is forcibly divided into two halves by the water of the Yangtze River, and the water of the Yangtze River passes through here.

The two banks are hundreds of feet high, and the water of the Yangtze River in the past is only less than half a height on both sides.

But during this time, the water level was turbulent, and it had already exceeded half the height of both banks.

Look further down and you'll find.

The water of the Yangtze River, like the water of the Tianhe River, is surging downstream.

The ferocious water of the Yangtze River smashed the reef to pieces.

Wave after wave, wave after wave, making the Yangtze River water look more ferocious.

The Yangtze River rioted, the water level soared, and the water in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River frantically poured into the downstream area.

Zhenjiang Town!

Here, it is the place where the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River meet.

Under the water, after reaching the canal, it is diverted.

The water of the Yangtze River, as if opening a valve, gushes to the land of the canal.

The boat will be capsized in it, and even those who are familiar with the nature of the water will not dare to confront God.

The place where this turbulent water rushes is the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the middle reaches of the canal!

The land of Suzhou is precarious.

……

Diverting water to flood the city was not the idea of the Han king.

Rather, the prefect of Jinan came up with an idea.

The prefect of Jinan knew that if he wanted to divert the attention of the imperial court, he had to do something more sensational.

And Suzhou, as one of the most prosperous cities in the Ming Dynasty, flooding Suzhou is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, not all of them were flooded.

The land of Suzhou cannot be completely submerged, and there has never been such an example in history.

However, the fertile land, houses and so on in various counties and towns in Suzhou will be lost.

……

Suzhou is a county under its jurisdiction, Wu County.

On this night, the soldiers of the Han King faction had arrived at this place.

They secretly stayed in Wu County, and at night, they suddenly dug the Wu County Dam!

The dam that the prefect of Suzhou had just brought the officials to reinforce was chiseled open by them overnight.

The dam suddenly became precarious.

After working all night, the next night they started digging the dam as usual.

After three nights of drilling, the dam was finally chiseled open with a fist-sized hole, and the water of the Yangtze River poured madly into the fist-sized hole.

The soldiers sent by the king of Han immediately retreated.

Because if you open this fist-sized hole, it won't be long before the entire dam collapses.

After this was done, the soldiers sent by the King of Han quickly left Suzhou overnight.

Finally, after a few hours.

The entire dam is completely collapsing inch by inch!

Torrential waters, pouring into fertile fields, pouring into towns!

……

Two days later, the capital reported urgently!

Above the court, there was an uproar.

Last year, Zhejiang was flooded, and now, only a few days have passed in the twelfth year of Yongle, and Suzhou has been flooded again in the blink of an eye?

In the past two years, has the imperial court not been able to get along with the water?

It is said that the water in Suzhou is very fierce, the water of the Yangtze River, the water of the canal, at the same time broke through the dam of Wu County, the water of the river poured down, fertile fields, almost all the towns were destroyed.

In addition, under the continuous heavy rains, the affected areas are becoming more and more extensive.

In the court, there was a lot of noise.

"Haha, I dare say, there must be someone in here."

"If no one is a ghost, the ghost will believe it."

"Yes, the prefect of Suzhou reported that they also strengthened the dam a few days ago, and there will be no accident, what is going on?"

Suzhou, a prosperous place in the Ming Dynasty, is one of the places with the highest taxes.

But now, Suzhou is flooded.

This is an extremely huge blow to the entire court.

But now, the hundreds of officials in the court are still arguing, debating whether this is man-made or God's will.

Yang Shiqi's face was solemn, and he stood up and said: "Prince, in this situation, we should send someone to take the soldiers to block the flood." ”

The prince also had a headache.

It's a very troublesome, tricky thing to do.

If you don't know, the next time of the imperial court will be spent on this, not only manpower, but also a lot of material and financial resources.

"Hey, Suzhou broke the embankment, the imperial court should send someone to rescue, but who should be sent?" The crown prince frowned.

It stands to reason that Natsuhara Yoshi is the most suitable.

Because, Xia Yuanji has been dealing with the floods in Zhejiang for many years, so he has great opinions on the floods and has a lot of experience.

However, Xia Yuanji is now the head of the household department and is helping Daming manage the account book, how can he move lightly?

Therefore, the prince also has a headache, and the affairs of Suzhou must not be delayed.

Yang Shiqi raised his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Weichen recommends King Huai!" ”

King Huai?

When Yu Xuekui heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, this is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to King Huai, so Yu Xuekui also hurriedly stood up and said: "Weichen also recommends King Huai." ”

The crown prince waved his hand and muttered: "King Huai is young, and his injuries are just right, so it is not appropriate to make a big move." ”

The prince feels sorry for this son now, he won't let him go anywhere, it's best to stay under his nose, so it's not easy to have an accident.

Who knows what will happen when you go to Suzhou.

Therefore, the prince resolutely refused.

"Hehe, Prince, the water of Suzhou, no one can cure it, only King Huai!" Yang Shiqi directly came to such a conclusion.

Yu Xuekui bowed: "If Xia Shangshu is still free, he can go, but is there a person who understands water in the Manchu Dynasty?" ”

Hearing this, the prince sighed.

Man Chao also sighed slightly.

The entire court hall has just started the new year, and it is like a frosted eggplant, which is unsightly.

The water of Suzhou has hit everyone too hard.

Even all the people in the south are worried about when the rain will end.

This is indeed a bad impression on morale.

"You wait, disperse the dynasty first, I'll go to the emperor to ask, this kind of big thing, the emperor still has to make a decision." The crown prince didn't agree to let King Huai go, so he shirked it.

After directly announcing the next court, the prince immediately went to the old man's bedroom.
