The officers of the Lankao County Government flashed their knives.

Several river workers who had been busy on the river for a day and night could only bow their heads silently and were escorted out of the county government by the messengers.

"You can't do that!"

"That levee can't be blown up, and if it blows up, all of us will be finished!"

Out of the county office, the wind and rain outside were even greater, and almost every minute of the entire sky was dark and dreary and closer to the ground.

The river workers who rushed over from Sanyi Township shouted angrily at the surrounding officers, and a few of them were completely distracted and sat down on the cold and silted ground.

Several officers looked at each other, and then silently looked back at the yamen.

Faintly, behind the rain curtain, there was the long voice of the prostitute singing.

"Honestly, if we blow up the levee, we may all be doomed. But if we don't blow up the levee, we're going to be finished now."

An errand officer returned the knife to his waist and explained with a solemn expression.

There was another errand officer next to him who shook his head helplessly: "Let's all get up, after all, we are all from the real Lankao, and there is no need for us to be unpleasant." You are river workers, we are errand workers, but we also have river workers in our family.

Can we people not understand the truth? But this matter was decided by the county, and the county said that the embankment would be blown up, so no one in Lankao County would be able to stop it. Unless we don't die now, we send our heads to the county honorable."

The river workers in Sanyi Township were full of distraction, helpless under this wind and rain.

"But is it too late to blow up the levee now?"

The messenger glared and said, "Whether it is in time or not, the county is the heaven of our Lankao County, and whatever the county leader says, we will do it." Even if we are going to be finished, he will be the first to finish!"

At this time, the errand also came to the fire.

Lankao County, Raushzi, is already full of disasters and difficulties, and now with such a Raushzi broken county order, no one can see hope.

After scolding for a while, the servants looked at the river workers: "If you can't leave, if you don't leave, it may be really too late."

The river workers stood up with each other's arms: "Let's go! I went to get the things that blew up the embankment first, and then I rushed downstream."

In the county town of Lankao, the officers and river workers are busy trying to blow up the embankment downstream.

Outside the city, on the embankment of the Yellow River outside Sanyi Township, more and more people have climbed it.

These people looked from a distance, and their backs seemed to be the same person.

Everyone is wearing a coat and a hat, holding shovels, iron baskets and other embankment and flood control equipment on the river.

The angle of view is constantly pulling farther and higher.

The embankment of the Yellow River in the north of Lankao County is already shrouded in mist.

These water mist were all spread out from the Yellow Dragon's rushing river, because of the violent impact splashing.

The whirlpools continued to expand their range, sucking everything that could be swallowed up in the vicinity into the river water like yellow mud.

The entire embankment was shaking in bursts, and the huge waves crashed on the bank, making a deafening loud noise, which gradually synchronized with the heartbeat of the river workers on the embankment.

….

Gradually.

The amount of runoff in the river seems to have suddenly become much smaller.

The entire river is descending at a rapid rate.

It seems that the next moment the riverbed, which has been submerged under the river for countless years, will be exposed to everyone's sight.

Bang.

The perspective is drawn back to the riverbank in an instant.

"Quick!"

"Run!"

"Run to the heights, run to the piles!"

"The flood peak is coming!"

"Run......

Throughout the embankment, countless river workers began to run with deafening roars.

These are the things that grow in

The river workers on the embankment know very well what is stronger and where it will never be washed away by the flood peak.

Everyone moved, and the whole embankment looked like a mess.

"All lives!"

"If the embankment bursts, we will risk our lives and plug the breach inside, otherwise the entire Lankao and even the entire Kaifeng Mansion will be finished!"

"The lives of millions of people are in the hands of our people!"

Liu Si hugged the old Liu Ye tightly, Tong Kong looked at the upper reaches of the river with shock, and muttered distractedly: "Hong Feng is coming, it's coming, it's really coming......

Old Liu Ye grabbed Liu Si's palm tightly with his backhand, and lifted it heavily: "Steady! I'm afraid I won't be able to do it this time, and these people will have to rely on you in the future!"

"Hong Feng is here!"

"It's coming!"

From the crowd on the embankment, there was a cry of terror.

Liu Si's eyes widened and he turned his head, and then behind him, the hand that was tightly grasped by the old Liu Ye suddenly disappeared.

Before he could see the current situation on the river, Liu Si's heart jumped suddenly, and he hurriedly turned his head.

I saw that Old Master Liu had slowly closed his eyes and fell to the ground silently, mixed with the yellow mud on the river embankment.

Several river workers who were originally supporting Old Liu Ye immediately looked at Liu Si.

"Fourth brother, you are staring at the river, old Master Liu...... Leave it to us!"

"Even if we die, we will also protect Old Master Liu's thoughtfulness!"

Liu Si only felt his stomach twitching for a while, but he also understood that he couldn't do without himself on the river now.

The brothers promised to protect the body of Lao Liu, so they would definitely risk their lives to hold the last bit of this person who had worked all his life on the river.

Liu Si took a deep breath, stepped forward, and squeezed the crowd towards the edge of the river embankment.

"Listen up!"

"Labor and management have been fighting this yellow dragon for decades, and it has not been able to take the life of labor and management!"

"Today, behind us is Lankao County, the entire Kaifeng Mansion, and the lives of millions of villagers!"

"Labor and management can still kill this yellow dragon today!"

Liu Si held a shovel in his hand, took off the hat on his head with a wave of his hand, threw it heavily on the ground, and then looked around at every river worker in front of him against the wind and rain and the huge waves set off.

"Slay the Yellow Dragon!"

"Slay the Yellow Dragon!"

"Slay the Yellow Dragon!"

On the river embankment, everyone spoke in unison, and everyone was excited, vowing to fight with Huanglong to the end.

Liu Si quickly straightened out the mood of the river workers, and then jumped to a high place and looked at the river in front of him.

….

The surface of the river, which had been lowered, began to rise continuously.

Huge waves washed over the riverbed, carrying up the sediment that had been dormant for countless years.

and waist-thick tree stumps, which were torn and shattered in an instant, by the ubiquitous force around them.

There is a dazzling array of common people's belongings and tools on the river that have been brought down from the upstream.

This is a precursor to the coming flood peak.

Liu Si, who has lived on the river all his life, can see the current situation at a glance.

Liu Si turned around and looked at all the river workers who were waiting for him to give orders.

"Stand firm! If you can't stand still, lie on your stomach!"

"What will happen when Hong Feng comes, everyone knows it, I don't need to tell you."

"As long as you carry the first water, there will be no major events in the future. Now go to someone to spread the word upstream, and if there is a breach, report it immediately, and even if you lose your life, you will have to block it."

"This year's flood peak water is rare! Once the breach can't be blocked, no one can think about continuing to live!"

"Let the people go under the embankment, let the people who are carrying the dirt bags underneath, hurry a little faster, and if they breach, they will have to send the dirt bags over."

"Remember! Don't mess around, be optimistic about the people around you, once out of danger

and begged. One more person on the river, and we'll have one more chance of winning!"

As Liu Si made arrangements according to the usual practice of dealing with flood peaks on the river in the past, the river workers began to move.

Liu Si lay on his stomach, staring at the farthest river in his sight.

Moment.

The whole world seemed to fall silent.

No matter the rain falling from the sky, or the huge waves crashing under the embankment on the bank, the roars of the river workers on the river completely disappeared from Liu Si's ears.

In the line of sight, the surrounding scene was also shrouded in darkness a little bit, and only the river in the middle of the line of sight burst out with greater light.

Liu Si, who was lying on a high place, began to bump up and down uncontrollably.

In sight.

A wave that seemed to have been higher than the norm kept rolling up and down, rolling up a thousand waves, rushing down from the upper highlands with unrivaled might, like ten thousand horses galloping.

Liu Si's ears began to regain his sense of hearing.

The earth-shattering roar hit the cochlea, hitting his eardrum hard one by one, tearing pain.

The waves are higher and higher, and the sight of all the river workers on the river embankment is constantly magnified.

"Stand firm!"

"Hold on!"

Someone roared in the midst of the storm and the waves.

On the embankment, the sound of gongs has never stopped.

The waves are getting closer and closer.

Everyone only felt that everything in front of them had disappeared, leaving only the flood peak waves that seemed to be connected with the heavens.

Violent waves of air mixed with water droplets and crushed objects, like a sharp knife edge, smashed into people's faces.

"It's coming!"

"Steady!"

Liu Si roared in despair.

He had never seen such a flood and waves!

Despair.

Endless despair.

Liu Si no longer knew if he would be able to walk down the embankment alive this time.

Or perhaps, at that time, I was probably already mixed up with the embankment.

….

There is no hope to be seen.

Decades of river engineering career made Liu Si conclude at a glance.

The embankment is bursting today!

Liu Si's lips began to flow out of the muddy blood, and his hands were tightly clasped around the objects under him.

Even if the embankment bursts, you have to stand on this embankment!

In the upper reaches of the embankment, the shouts and screams of the river workers have been heard.

The entire embankment, which cost countless money and grain in the empire, was constantly trembling, as if it was afraid of this yellow dragon's ***, trembling and crawling under the suppression.

The internal organs of the river workers have begun to be shaken out of place, and there is a tearing sensation in their bodies, as if the whole person will be torn off soon.

Rumble!

Boom Boom!

Bang bang bang!

Like the voice of Tianwei's wrath, roaring and roaring on the entire embankment.

Liu Si couldn't see what was within half a foot of his eyes clearly.

The whole line of sight is full of Huangsha River water.

The coat on his body has been brushed away.

The huge wave slammed down on his body, making him feel that the next moment he would let go of his hand and be swept away by the huge wave.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Bang bang bang.

In Liu Si's ears, there was only the sound of his own violent heartbeat.

All of a sudden, it looks like a candle flame that will go out at any time.

"Save ...... Gollum Purr ......"

"Help!"

"Gollum ......"

Finally, Liu Si's vision and hearing slowly recovered.

My ears were filled with all kinds of cries and cries for help.

With a heart in his hand, he stood up tremblingly, and first glanced upstream, the head of the flood peak had passed, and the tail peak behind had fallen to the stiffness below the embankment.

The shouts in my ears grew more and more.

Liu Si's heart tightened, and he turned around in a daze.

A thirty zhang long breach was displayed in front of Liu Si's eyes.

Smack.

Liu Si fell to the ground flat.

Then he struggled to his feet and stumbled to the edge of the breach.

When lying on the edge of the breach, Liu Si's eyes widened.

Rivers poured from the river to the back of the embankment as if the heavenly river had burst.

Liu Si's whole head was blank, and he looked at the county town of Lankao with his wish stupidly.

It's just that in such a short period of time, the water has already traveled half the way.

The fertile fields and villages between the breaches and the county seat have long since disappeared, and all of them have been submerged under the flood.

Rumble!

There was another loud noise, coming from farther downstream.

Liu Si puffed and spit out a mouthful of blood.

"It's over......

"It's over......

"It's all over......

Liu Si's gaze began to pull away.

He never thought that at this time, someone downstream would blow the embankment open.

The breach of more than 30 zhang in front of me is that it can't be blocked with the lives of the entire Lankao County, and now there is another hole in the downstream.

Kaifeng Mansion is finished.

No!

The entire southern bank of Henan Province is going to be finished.

By the way, Xuzhou Mansion and Fengyang Mansion under Guide Mansion will be finished.

Fengyang!

….

Liu Si's eyes burst out, and then the whole person completely fainted.

……

In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, March 29.

Ying Tiancheng, the water and land *** and Zhai Jiao ceremonies to pray for the blessing of the Emperor Kao Xiaoci Empress will be officially held in April.

In the court, the snow situation on both sides of the Yangtze River has been finishing up last year, and spring ploughing has already begun, and stabilizing the financial and tax areas in the south of the Yangtze River is the top priority of the imperial court today.

The Beijing army also began to enter the process of returning to Beijing and making preparations for a new round of rotation.

As the temperature rises a little, the empire is once again at full speed, moving towards the predetermined goal according to the established plan.

"More than 6,200 people from the three guards of Datong and the four guards of Weishuo Dongsheng left and right, 216,100 horses of cotton cloth, 5,100 horses of silk, and 90,400 catties of cotton. This matter has been properly handled by the household department, and the materials have been loaded and sent out from the large warehouse of the household department in Yingtian."

"To the sergeant Xia Bu in the Jingwei Station, two horses per person, which have been handed over by the household department to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies."

"Reward the Guizhou Metropolitan Division and the guards who won the first battle of Xibao, as well as the wounded and disabled soldiers, a total of 37,532 people, and give 212,479 ingots. The Ministry of War has been transferred to the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households has transferred money to the Ministry of War for distribution."

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Yu Xin, a scholar of Wenhuadian University and a scholar of the household department, stood up and replied in a deep voice.

Ru Yu, the secretary of the military department, stood up and replied: "Wu Dewei commanded Li Ju, and he was transferred to the command of Zhenwuwei, the hereditary commander, and he has now been ordered to set off."

"The chief military officer Zhou Xing ordered the governor Song Cheng, the governor Liu Zhen, and the commander Zhuang De to lead 30,000 horses and horses to conquer the savages."

"Yan Wang Song, in the first half of the year, led the Beiping capital Sima Bu army and horses 35,000, and went north to conquer the grassland and Monan, because Zhang Zhiyuan swept the two places in Beiping last year, King Yan will wave the desert this time and try to go deep into Mobei."

Above, Zhu Yunxi sat on the circle chair.

He leaned over his ears

Listening to the courtiers' answers, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest.

Dongdong's voice gently echoed in the Wenyuan Pavilion.

"Prison of the Upper Forest." Zhu Yunxi called softly.

Yuan Sutai, the supervisor of Shanglin Yuan, immediately got up: "The minister is here."

Zhu Yunxi looked at the other party with a smile: "In places such as the Northwest River, if Gu is not mistaken, there are not many fields watered by water. It seems that it is not enough to use the land for growing food. Can the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor send someone to go to the Northwest Hetao and other places to see if they can plant cotton there, and it will also be convenient for the imperial court to supply cotton cloth and cotton armor to Jiubian on the spot in the future."

Zhu Yunxi knew that the land in Anxi, which had not yet been taken back by Daming, was an excellent place to grow cotton.

Can the Loop?

He really didn't know.

Yuan Sutai didn't expect the grandson to ask such a question, so he thought about it and nodded, "Back to Your Highness, the cotton is not warm at all. The northwest is full of sunshine, and cotton is not as draught as rice, so I thought that cotton could be cultivated on a large scale. When he returned to the government today, the minister arranged for his subordinates to go to the Hetao, so that they could be confirmed this year."

….

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and then looked at Hubu Shangshu Yuxin.

Meanwhile.

Outside the Imperial Palace, in front of the Hongwu Gate.

A cavalry scout standing in mud and water, with red feathers on his back, crashed into the Beijing division from Chaoyang Gate all the way unimpeded.

Arrived in front of the Hongwu Gate.

The Imperial City Forbidden Army just stepped forward to stop it.

The scout immediately held up a token and shouted in a loud voice, "Hurry! The Taihang embankment collapsed, Henan flooded, and Kaifeng, Guide, Xuzhou, and Fengyang flooded!"

The forbidden troops of the imperial city were shocked, and they could not be surprised by the great water in Henan, and hurriedly made way.

The iron cavalry rushed all the way into Hongwu Gate.

The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the thousand-step corridor.

When they arrived at the Chengtian Gate, the scout with the red feather on his back was finally stopped by the forbidden army.

"Hurry! Henan water!"

"Dismount and walk to Wenyuan Pavilion to report the report."

The forbidden soldiers replied, stepped forward to lead the horses, and the people behind opened the Chengtian Gate.

The scout's feet did not stop, passing through the Chengtian Gate, the Duan Gate, and all the way to the noon gate.

The scout repeated again, "Hurry! Henan water!"

The guards of the Son of Heaven in front of the noon gate immediately came out, and the two of them led the way.

"Go to Wenyuan Pavilion! The grandson is discussing with the courtiers!"

The scout gritted his teeth and followed closely behind the two Forbidden Officers and Soldiers.

The three of them passed through the Zuoshun Gate and finally rushed all the way to the outside of Wenyuan Pavilion.

The red feathers on the scout's back fluttered, and the scarlet was breathtaking.

"Report!"

"Hurry!"

"Henan is flooded, and the Taihang embankment is bursting!"
