Chapter 332: The Time Has Risen (Part II)
"Dig, dig up here!" and ....."
"Put your earth in it.... Use your strength to ram it!"
Compared with the others who piled up earth and rock, Chonghua here is using a different method, first digging about three fists deep, and then dumping the dirt, sand and gravel, Chonghua took the stone hammer and smashed it on the soil and stones.
Chonghua made everyone move, digging three fists deep, and then ramming the earth and rocks into it, Chonghua even added huge logs to it, horizontal or stacked, in an attempt to increase the solidity of these earthen walls.
"I've heard that the big cities that cross the land will add this kind of wood as the foundation of the city, which is called koji. ”
So, a small foundation was laid up after several days of work.
However, after the first storm had ceased for three days, after ten days had passed, it covered the heavens and the earth again.
The drizzling rain drifted on the land of Shangqiu again.
The earth wall of Chonghua is not even very high, the tenacious ramming of the past ten days, just a waist-to-waist, both short and thick wall, other rulers, is the wall of the high, a large amount of soil is made by them into a wall, in a huge mold, knead grass roots and sand and gravel, set blocks into shape, and then use mud or lime for masonry, this is the raw earth building, but also the adobe wall.
When the other rulers around saw this scene, they were all confused, and some people even shouted directly: "Yao, you have spent so many people, but you are fighting with a small piece of earthen wall!"
The people under Chonghua's rule were also a little confused, but Chonghua said firmly: "The rammed walls built by this method are much stronger than their earth and stones, and these soil are the roots of the water-sheltering walls, just like big trees!
"Believe me, in the news of the Kongsang clan, although the description is urgent, but the water of the great river has not yet stirred, we will build these barriers, ram and hammer them, and in the end, they can save our lives!"
Chonghua tried his best to convince the crowd, but the other rulers did not approve of this approach, and some of them even ridiculed that with this tamping time, they could have built more embankments to avoid the water.
But Chonghua insisted on doing so, which was a way that the old man from the south, who had given him a plan for his plow, mentioned it in the chat about the sale of Shouqiu.
But Chonghua doesn't know this rammed earth, in addition to ramming and wood, bone wall reinforcement, he doesn't know what materials are needed for solid rammed earth, and how to deal with these materials....
The old man had only said that there seemed to be shell ash, but there was no place to look for it now.
So Chonghua can only operate according to his existing conditions, everything has to rely on groping, he follows the general outline of what the old man said, and keeps groping, and when someone really doesn't understand and asks him, Chonghua only gives a firm reply.
"I believe it is useful, this is already in the south, confirmed by a man ...."
"This must be his method as well...."
Chonghua's later sentence, the person who asked didn't hear it, but the previous sentence couldn't bring everyone enough confidence, so Chonghua said:
"If a person has no feet, can he still stand firmly!"
This sentence really made everyone pause, among the areas that many governors are responsible for, the area here in Chonghua has the slowest progress, and the governor who asked for people from Chonghua at the beginning, his speed is the fastest.
The small cart made a noise on the land of Shangqiu, people came and went, busy, and the rain made the road muddy, the more the rain fell, the more gloom in people's hearts.
"Zong Yue, will this child's method be useful?"
Zhaoming is also very worried, he is very optimistic about this child, but if there is a big problem because of too many ideas in the problem of controlling the flood, then no matter how good Chonghua is, he can no longer be elected as a manager.
"It will work. ”
Fang Qi was more determined than Chonghua to believe that this was useful, because Uncle Xi would not lie to him.
And last year in the south, Yan Long brought back a lot of news, which has also shown this, there is a tribe in the south that is good at managing floods, and this rammed earth method is one of their techniques.
"But it shouldn't be so rammed, but now, we don't know what materials are needed for the real rammed earth method, but it must not be as simple as soil and sand.....
Fang Qi now regrets a little, when Uncle Xi bragged to him, he didn't listen carefully, and he didn't care about it in his heart, until Yan Long and they came back, Fang Qi realized that maybe he sometimes thought about something wrong.
The rain started to get heavier.
"Oh Dahe, give me some more time!"
Fang Qi stood in the crowd, the world was vast, the haze of the water once again shrouded the Central Plains, the wrath of the Yellow Dragon, where will it tear apart this time?
————
In the upper reaches of the river, the turbulent water poured down from the bend, the sound was terrifying like a sky collapse earthquake, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the climate seemed warm even though it was winter, as if returning to the mid-autumn season, the large rains were dense, and among the migrating tribes, young children raised their heads and stared at the dim sky.
Kun had already sent the people of the Chong clan to where they should go, and waited in those cities, and as soon as the dam was breached, he immediately went to block it with the rest of the soil, and asked for the rest of the soil from the hands of the Emperor Hong, which was found by clues from the legends of the ancient emperors.
This is the five-color soil handed down by the emperor, symbolizing the five directions of the mountains and seas, this kind of soil can be fused with any soil and stone of the mountains and seas, so it will grow spontaneously like the five grains.
"The heavens are nearing the earth. ”
Wen Ming looked at the gloomy sky, the mountains were also hidden behind the waves, and the clouds began to vibrate, which was the sign that the power of the water was constantly increasing, and it was about to produce a sign of deification and turning into "lewdness".
This in itself is a disaster that belongs to heaven and earth, just like when there is an earthquake, the dust on the earth will rush to surge, the mountains will cry out in mourning, the rivers will become slow, and when the volcano erupts, the qi of the heaven and the earth will be disturbed, as for the typhoon and the tide... The roaring heaven clan swept the entire Southern Great Wilderness, and at least tens of thousands of people died in the rivers and seas, which is enough to show the terrifying nature of these ancient "gods"!
Hundreds of rivers shook in the mountains and valleys.
Wow, Siyue, the soup soup flood is monstrous, the vast mountains and Xiangling, the people are worried, there is a person who can make the ruler?
All the ministers are said to be cang!
Wen Ming remembered what his father often said in his mouth and whispered, that was when Emperor Fangxun asked who could govern the water, all the courtiers recommended Kun, only the co-workers objected, and in the end, Kun came back from the south, and Wen Ming at that time was still very young.
Yes, as Father said, he looked at the years of the river, which was much older than the river!
"Maybe I don't need Brother Zai's method, my father has also seen the anger of the big river, and he has also seen the hydrology and wind and rain in the south, and the big river is different from the big river...."
Wen Ming looked at the turbulent and arrogant currents of water, the monstrous smell of water vapor and dust, which could almost make his tongue taste it, it was bitterness, the bitterness of the beings who lived in this mountain and sea a long time ago!
But these arrogant currents are still flowing down the embankment made by Kun, and are smoothly leading towards the East China Sea!
"It can be successful!"
The people of the Chong clan all thought that it was okay, the people of the hanging clan, the people of the Fanghu clan, and the tribes who controlled the water looked at the river excitedly and excitedly, and the angry river could not break through the defense line on both sides, it could only pour its anger into the East China Sea!
So, go and pour it, there is a boundless ocean that can stir you wantonly!
However, at this time, in the upper reaches of the river, there was a monstrous shock, and a handsome young man appeared in the middle of the water, he came on the turbid waves, escorted by two white dragons, emptied and arrived, and the stone was cross-waved!
"There is Chongshi! The great river has collapsed, and it cannot be stopped! The western sky is from the extreme abyss, and the water has passed under the Yangxu Mountain, out of the precipice, if you don't leave at this time, you are still doing something!"
The young man appeared and scolded loudly, and Chong Bo Kun saw it and was shocked!
The young man is called Bingyi!
And just when he was about to respond, someone suddenly came to report in a hurry, but his voice trembled!
"Chongbo! The embankment, the embankment has collapsed!"
After being stunned for a moment, Chong Bo Kun said loudly and angrily: "This is impossible!"
"It took nine years to build the embankment! In the past nine years, the flow of water has been unfavorable!"
Chongbo was about to rush there, and the young man stood on the water, and the white dragon soared into the wind and rain, and the young man pressed the dragon's head with one hand, leaned over and said:
"You realize it later, the nine years of flooding have not damaged the embankment, but this time, it is the wrath of the Western Heavens, it is the heaven and the earth are whistling!"
"The snow on the high mountains melted into the river, so the 'queen of the river' could not stop and came to me for help, I entered the abyss from the extreme, and saw that the water of the abyss rose sharply, three hundred deep abysses, and four hundred, and the rivers rose from the flat land, and the mountains were hung as isolated islands....."
"The West Tianshan Earthquake, thousands of rivers are rising, and the water is about to turn into a **** embankment, although it is strong, how can it be compared with the 'lewdness' that envelops the breath of heaven and earth!"
"This is the 'potential' of heaven and earth!"
From the upstream of Chongbokun, about ten miles away, the water of the big river collapsed under the embankment, and the sudden growth rate increased, and the water flow was raised instantly, just like the dragon's claw that swept by, the powerful potential energy suddenly cut off a large piece of the foundation of the embankment, and the huge gap was washed away, and the strong pressure completely shook the gap into yellow dust!
Countless carts of earth and stone were transported, converging towards the gap, but the speed of the water was much higher than the strength of human feet!
In an instant, the ground also shook, and the gap above it completely collapsed!
The water burst open the embankment and poured unstoppably into the south bank of the river!
