Chapter 86: The Flood
A wave has not settled, and another wave has risen.
An even greater panic, as a fast horse entered the city, quickly spread throughout the city.
"Nujun, Li Jun has an order and orders the soldiers of the Qin army to go to the berm!"
What?!
Many of the fish and others had extremely ugly faces.
The flood season of the Yangtze River is from late June to September, and according to the calendar, it should be from May to August at this time.
It's not spring yet, how can there be a flood?!
"Damned! This must be damned! ”
"The female monarch opened the mountain and dug a well, angering the mountain god!" This is one of the powerful Li family in Bashu, and they occupy the main trade routes of Bashu to the outside world, of which salt is the bulk of profits.
Many fish act aggressively and say the same.
The Li family didn't want to touch its moldy head, and it has been quietly dormant, and finally waited for the opportunity, so they added fuel to the fire, so that the people turned their panic about the flood into resentment against the female monarch.
coincides with the Li family is Shamoke in the Nine Dragons Mountain.
"The Qin people and the old digging department angered the supreme god, and a great flood fell from heaven to punish us. Only a pious sacrifice can quench the wrath of the Most High God! ”
Many tribes in Jiulong Mountain gave up the grain they had bought with great difficulty in fear, and even handed over the most beautiful girls and the strongest teenagers in the tribe.
"God, we know it's wrong. Please forgive us once, please take back the sea in heaven. ”
"God, this has nothing to do with us, it's all the fault of the old digging department!"
"That's right! Burn the old digging department! ”
Shamoko did not immediately ask for a sacrifice, and the flood could not be solved in a day, and if there was no change after the sacrifice, wouldn't it affect his reputation as a high priest?
Shamoke looked at Fucheng proudly, the time is in me, girl, what else do you have to deal with?
Many fish, who were regarded as fierce enemies by Shamoke, did not have time to pay attention to the rumors in the city, and only sent a team of Qin soldiers to maintain law and order in the city, so they called the post soldiers to inquire about the situation.
"How did Li Junshou explain?"
The post soldiers galloped day and night, and just a bowl of chestnut rice porridge was in their stomachs, and it seemed to come back to life: "The Minjiang River was flooded, and Li Junshou led the people to fight the flood on the embankment. Assign two ways to notify the county lieutenant and the female monarch for help. ”
Minjiang?
Hu Feizi brought the water map treasured by the Mo family, which took two generations to measure step by step with his feet, which was extremely precious.
The Chengdu Plain belongs to the Mintuo River system in the Yangtze River Basin, and the devastating floods it encounters mainly come from the Minjiang River, Tuojiang River, Dadu River and Qingyi River.
On the water map, the water system of the Minjiang River is marked in thick, and there is a text note on the side: Hanging River.
The Minjiang River flows from the western Sichuan Plateau to the Sichuan Basin, and due to the difference in altitude, the Minjiang River has become a hanging river, with a height of more than 270 meters!
The Kaifeng section of the Yellow River is also a hanging river, but the gap is far less than that of the Minjiang River.
If the well-watered Min River bursts near Dujiangyan, Chengdu, not far away, will be under great threat of flooding.
Li Bing's main task in Bashu this time is to deal with the Minjiang problem.
Many fish: "How many soldiers are available in the house?" ”
Wang Qian: "Less than 100." ”
Many fish frowned, in ancient times, in addition to the levy of the people, it was to garrison the army.
"On the other side of the county lieutenant, the army also needs to be stationed to guard against the Chu State." Many fish hesitated, should they give up Jiulong Mountain and withdraw most of their troops?
However, even if all of them are withdrawn, it is only 400, which is not worth mentioning in the face of natural disasters.
At this time, the local magpie begged to see: "Female monarch, there will be disasters after the flood." Please ask the lady to send someone to take precautions as soon as possible. ”
……
Many fish also want to guard against it, but there is no one now.
Many fish, in line with the principle of casting a wide net, asked: "Magpie, you grew up in Bashu, do you know anything about floods?" ”
After thinking for a while, Que really said a piece of news: "I once heard the old man in the village say that the flood in Bashu did not fall for thousands of miles. Sometimes when there is a flood in my hometown, there is a drought in other areas. ”
??
How strange is this?
Many fish have only heard Li Bing say that the land of Bashu is difficult, and when the water is abundant, it will flood. When water is scarce, there is drought.
"In your opinion, can this flood spread to Fucheng and Jiulong Mountain?" Many fish thoughts turned.
Que Haoran lowered his head and said apologetically: "I am only good at medical affairs, not at treating water." ”
Many fish came back to their senses, yes, who can be better than Li Bing in the matter of controlling the water in the land of Bashu?
Since he sent someone to ask for help, it means that the situation is urgent.
The water conservancy officials in the house were all taken away by Li Bing, and many fish had to offer heavy rewards to those who were good at water conservancy.
Under the heavy money, there will be brave men.
Indeed, a peasant came to reveal the reward, and the peasant saw the key at a glance: "The county guard wants to hold the embankment, so that it will not endanger the city." If the flood is ferocious, it can only be discharged. ”
"Will the direction of the flood discharge affect Kowloon Mountain?"
"Yes."
Many fish have a look of struggle on their faces, how to choose?
Countless figures come to mind, in his previous life, he was born in a flood-stricken province and had suffered a flood once in a century.
It was those respectable people who risked their lives and fought disasters with their lives, so that they could grow up safely.
"Wang Qian, you immediately lead your troops to support the county guard!"
"Whoa!"
"Black Dolphin, you lead someone to visit Haoqiang with me." Many fish wipe their faces with their hands, no longer hesitating, but instead firm and unrepentant.
When many fish and black dolphins appeared on the streets of Fuchu, people loudly encouraged people to fight the flood spontaneously.
"The Qin people are heart-to-heart, and the sun and the moon are new in the battle!"
"Fight the flood demon, destroy the waterlogging beast, and the family is safe!"
Some people can understand it, some people can't.
If there is not enough manpower, there will be no choice but to levy conscription on a large scale.
And the heroes of Fucheng have taken the initiative to help, and many fish have recorded them in the book, and after they have done something, they will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds.
As for those who do not cooperate......
"Copy!" Black Dolphin broke into Haoqiang's house with a group of soldiers, scavenged supplies, and tied up many slaves and their families.
"Lady, dare to ask us what crime we have committed?"
The head of the house was red-eyed and glared angrily at many fish.
"Someone accuses you of rebellion!" Many fish don't look the same, ready to go straight to the next one.
The head of the family sneered: "Even if someone denounces it, it ...... according to the "Qin Law"
Before the master could finish speaking, he was gagged with dirty linen by the soldiers, and could only whine and stare angrily at many fish.
The eldest son of the head of the family was dissatisfied with Ah Weng being treated like this, and he was angry and wanted to come forward to theorize.
The black dolphin stepped forward and slashed off the head of the eldest son with a swing of his knife.
The piercing blood made the female relatives scream again and again, and some even fainted.
The head of the family was stunned, but he was restrained and unable to move.
Many fish have cold eyes and look around.
The person who was hiding outside the wall and peeping was swept away by this sight, and the two trembled, trembling all over.
Many fish seemed to be talking to the head of the house, as if they were saying to the onlookers: "There are no eggs under the nest, the flood can destroy the Ba people, and the Qin people can also destroy Haoqiang." The people of Bashu share honor and disgrace, and life and death depend on each other. ”
