Chapter 306: Rescue and Flood Relief
King Huai was able to lead the team to jump into the flood for the sake of the people and save Suzhou Mansion.
And what about him?
He only dared to build a dam here, but he didn't care about the lives of 70,000 or 80,000 people in Wu County......
In contrast, he, the prefect of Suzhou, really has no courage, and his political consciousness is too low.
Suzhou Tongju also stood beside the prefect and muttered, "I hope King Huai is fine." ”
The prefect of Suzhou roared: "Okay, quickly, continue to build the dam, and don't let King Huai down." ”
"King Huai has arrived, no one can make a mistake, otherwise it will be a matter of losing his head."
Rescue the flood, continue to act!
……
Meantime.
After Zhu Chen jumped into the flood, his first feeling was, cold!
The biting cold seemed to wash over his body over and over again.
When he recovered from a serious illness, the old monk told him that he could no longer catch a cold.
However, this flood soaked his whole body, and to say that it was not cold is false.
If it weren't for the fifty people tied together and formed a team, I am afraid that Zhu Chen would have been washed away by the flood by now.
However, no matter how cold it was, even if Zhu Chen's hands were frozen, Zhu Chen still did not give up his goal and continued to swim towards the land of Wu County.
Zhu Chen's water quality is not good, he was choked on several mouthfuls of water, and the cold chill drove the five thousand soldiers to continue to forge ahead.
Before entering the water, Zhu Chen instructed the soldiers to bring wooden planks.
Along the way, if he met people who were still alive, Zhu Chen asked them to hand the wooden planks to these people, at least to save their lives temporarily.
After entering the Wu County area thoroughly, Zhu Chen can see that this place has really become a water city.
All the houses were flooded.
On the surface of the water, there are quite a few floating corpses.
These are drowned people!
The deeper they go into Wu County, the more floating corpses the soldiers can see, almost in groups, floating on the water, and it is chilling to look at.
Zhu Chen looked at the scene of hundreds of people suffering, and there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes: "King Han, sooner or later, I will have to clean you up." ”
For the sake of the throne, it can be done to this point.
Zhu Chen was a little unsure at first, but after the Suzhou prefect said so, the only thing Zhu Chen could think of was the King of Han!
He definitely did it.
Except for him, no one else is so bold.
caused such a big trouble and loss to the imperial court, and when this matter was over, Zhu Chen had already made up his mind that he must settle accounts with him.
However, the top priority is not this, but to save the remaining people in Wu County, as well as to block the dam in Wu County.
"General Liu, you take 2,000 people and search in Wu County, and if there are still people alive, send them back."
"I'll take 3,000 people and go to block the river embankment and dam, and we'll divide up the work." Zhu Chen instructed Liu Rongdao.
These two things must be done at the same time.
Liu Rong was soaked in the flood and shouted, "Good! ”
It's just that he shouted hesitantly: "King Huai, the flood is too big, can the river embankment be blocked?" ”
Zhu Chen is also not sure.
But he knew that there were still millions of people in Suzhou behind him.
"If you can't block it, you have to block it!" Zhu Chen shouted.
The imperial court could not bear such a loss, and if the whole of Suzhou were to be flooded, it would be a great blow to the Ming Dynasty.
Moreover, behind Zhu Chen, there are millions of people to protect.
This matter, resolutely, must be blocked!
Liu Rong stopped talking, and immediately acted separately from Zhu Chen.
Zhu Chen took the remaining 3,000 soldiers and quickly swam against the current towards the depths.
The soldiers also spared no effort and acted quickly.
The countercurrent was too strong, Zhu Chen and the others were washed around, and the team was scattered all of a sudden.
But even so, Zhu Chen did not give up, and continued to lead the soldiers upstream.
Finally, after two or three hours in the past, Zhu Chen finally led the soldiers to the former Wuxian Dam.
It was from here that the great water poured down.
It can be seen that there are countless turbulent water flowing here, causing the water level in Wu County to get higher and higher.
At present, even if you use the human body to block it, it is difficult to succeed.
Only by moving boulders and laying out a bed of the river embankment can the dam here be slowly built.
And, when you get here, it's clear that the dam has been almost completely destroyed.
If a normal flood rushes in, it will break a certain section of the embankment and cause the embankment to burst.
But this is different, the possibility of the entire dam being destroyed is very small, and man-made is one of them.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Chen immediately shouted: "Move stones!" ”
"Find nearby rocks and put the bottom of the dam out first!"
The soldiers immediately passed down one by one.
"King Huai has an order, move stones, pad the bottom of the dam!"
"King Huai has an order, move stones, pad the bottom of the dam!"
Shouting, teleported to the back one by one.
The soldiers immediately took action.
In the water, it is not easy to show your hands and feet at all, not to mention such a big flood, which makes it difficult for the soldiers to move stones.
So, they had to tie the stones around their waists, and then swim forward together, pull up the stones, and pad them at the bottom of the dam.
Piece by piece of stone, padded up.
The 3,000 soldiers brought by Zhu Chen acted quickly, just to save the millions of people behind Suzhou Mansion.
They were choked red by the flood.
There are even people who are overwhelmed and exhausted in the flood and gradually sink or are swept away by the flood......
There were also people who sweated like rain in the flood and turned white, working hard for the sake of the thousands of people.
Zhu Chen took the lead, and the soldiers fought desperately for it.
Their bodies have been soaked in the water for hours and hours, even though their limbs have long since lost sensation, and their bodies are swollen and white, but they are still tied to stones and raised their gums.
There was water under them, sweat on their foreheads, and in the end, everyone was almost exhausted, and they were still carrying out the last perseverance by relying on perseverance.
They struggled in the flood, and their purpose was just to think that when they turned around, what they saw was not a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, but the thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, and every household was safe!
Even though they knew that it would be really difficult to block the dam, they still spared no effort to do it.
The mission of the soldiers is not only to kill the enemy on the battlefield.
Their real mission is to protect their homes and defend the country, and when the country is in danger, they quickly rise to the top.
Therefore, under the leadership of Zhu Chen, the soldiers almost spared no effort.
As long as this source is blocked, the water in Wuxian County will naturally disappear, and it will not endanger Suzhou Prefecture.
When the country is in trouble, there must be such a group of people who are rushing to the forefront.
When the people are in trouble, there must be a group of righteous teachers who block all the bad things for them, leaving behind the lights of thousands of homes, laughter, and warmth in the world.
How can there be any quiet years, but someone is carrying a weight forward......
