Great Tang princess

Chapter 292 Responsibility of the Royal Family

Li Yuechen nodded and ran out of Renshou Hall.

Seeing his daughter's figure rushing into the pouring rain, gradually becoming blurred and disappearing, Li Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

Through chatting with my daughter during this period, I also roughly understood what the world she imagined is like. Perhaps, Datang will really become what she imagined one day.

After Li Yuechen ran out of the Hall of Renshou, he rode his horse and galloped into the barracks at the fastest speed.

Today happened to be a rest day. After finishing the morning exercise, the soldiers played games in their dormitories.

Because I have learned culture, sometimes there will be games such as word solitaire organized in the class.

At the same time, there were many soldiers pouring water from the glass windows, wondering when the heavy rain would stop.

Inside the sentry box at the gate, the soldiers on duty stood with their feet shoulder-width apart, their hands behind their backs, and stood under the umbrella with their heads held high, like a javelin.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes, he turned his head and saw a big red figure running wildly in the rain.

The horses stopped at the gate of the barracks, and the soldiers saw Her Royal Highness, who was already drenched all over.

Her hair has been condensed into strands by the rain, and there are still a few strands of hair tightly attached to her forehead.

The clothes on his body were tightly wrapped around his body after being soaked, and at the same time, drops of water were constantly dripping from the bottom of the clothes.

"Your Highness!" The soldier saluted.

"Open the door! Get ready to beat the drum!" Li Yuechen gave a low voice.

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately came over and moved the rejecting horse, and then signaled to the people inside that the princess was coming, ready to beat the drum.

Li Yuechen rode a horse and rushed into the barracks, passing through the rain-soaked street trees on both sides.

Riding his horse to the square, Li Yuechen jumped off his horse and turned onto the high platform.

At the same time, several soldiers braved the rain and rushed into the pavilion downstairs of the dormitory at the fastest speed, and picked up the drumsticks.

"Plan No. [-]! Urgent assembly!" Li Yuechen roared.

When the soldiers in the pavilion heard the order, they were taken aback for a moment, then immediately raised the drumstick in their hands and slammed it down on the drum.

"Boom, boom, boom..." A series of eager drums sounded continuously, and the sound instantly surpassed the "squeak" of raindrops hitting the ground.

At the same time as the eager drums sounded, the soldiers in the dormitory who were engaged in their own activities turned their heads and listened carefully, and then they all got up yelling, dropped the things in their hands, and rushed to the square at the fastest speed .

Some soldiers even had no time to put on their clothes, so they could only wear them while running.

During the previous training, Li Yuechen explained to them that the No. [-] plan represents all-out war, and the No. [-] plan represents tasks that need to be carried out... and the No. [-] plan is to fight floods and rescue disasters...

The rhythm of the drums in different plans is different, and the soldiers can clearly distinguish it.

The moment Geng Yunqiang and other officers heard the sound of the drum, they immediately arranged for their subordinates to go down to assemble with picks and shovels. At the same time, the soldiers also took washbasins...

The seemingly disorganized military camp is actually orderly, and everyone knows what they should do at this moment.

In less than 3 minutes, everyone had already assembled, and stood in several squares on the huge playground.

While the soldiers were quickly forming a team in the heavy rain, the various officers were also quickly counting the number of people.

Li Yuechen was anxious, but still did not urge him, and was still waiting on the high platform.

About thirty seconds later, amidst the continuous sound of rain, there were several powerful reports:

"A battalion is here!"

"The second battalion is here!"

"The three battalions are here!"

"The Joint Service Battalion is here!"

Geng Yunqiang quickly ran to the high platform: "Your Highness, except for the fourth battalion defending the palace, everyone is here! Please order!"

Li Yuechen said with a serious face: "The Luo River is overflowing, flooding people's crops. We need to deal with this matter as soon as possible! Minimize the loss as much as possible! Rescue victims and crops must be acted at the fastest speed!"

"Yes!" Geng Yunqiang agreed, and immediately ran back to give orders.

"The first battalion is downstream! The second battalion is upstream! The third battalion is entering the city! Li Xian!"

"Here!" Li Xian took a step and agreed.

"You are in charge of connecting with the Shangyi Bureau, and at the same time temporarily requisition civilian cloth shops to make sacks and send them to the front line as quickly as possible! At the same time, guarantee all the mission needs of the frontline soldiers!"

"Yes!" Li Xian agreed with a salute.

Li Yuechen said suddenly: "Wait a minute, at the same time, we will connect with the craftsman, cut the wooden boards into small pieces, connect them with hemp rope to make a vest, and send it to the frontline soldiers as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

The order has been issued, Li Yuechen turned his head and shouted: "The target Luoshui, everyone has it! Go forward at full speed!"

The moment the voice fell, she herself jumped off the high platform with a somersault, and ran out first.

The soldiers behind also raised their legs to keep up, stepped forward with two already wet trouser legs, and followed closely.

The black mass of soldiers was like a tide. After running out of the gate of the barracks, they divided into several groups and ran out in different directions.

Li Yuechen himself took the first battalion to go downstream. In this case, the downstream is often the most dangerous, and she can play a greater role there.

……

The soldiers moved quickly and arrived at their designated locations as quickly as possible. After the battalion commanders gave orders, they began to work intensively.

Most of the upstream villages were flooded, and many people were still struggling in the water.

After the soldiers arrived, the battalion commander immediately issued an order to save people first, followed by crops and livestock.At the same time, they quickly shoveled soil from other places and built high embankments to prevent more water from hitting the village.

Because the impact of the water flow is too great now, we can only dig stones from other places and pile them down.

Many people were still struggling in the water, but they suddenly saw a large number of black soldiers rushing towards them in the distance. They jumped into the water without saying a word, and swam to the back of those struggling in the water at an extremely fast speed, taking them with them. They swam to the shore.

For a moment, the people were a little unresponsive, not knowing why these soldiers came to rescue them.

But these soldiers didn't have time to be dazed, and immediately there were more soldiers digging stones in the distance, and then kept throwing them into the water.

The upper reaches were open, and the overflowing water was not too high, but even so, these soldiers were still thrown into the water in twos and threes by the waves.

It was also thanks to Li Yuechen who had trained them to swim, otherwise, it is estimated that countless people would have drowned in just this one blow.

At the same time, there were a large number of soldiers holding shovels and digging channels to divert the water, trying to let the overflowing river flow to farther places.

The battalion commander in charge of this place stood on a high place, holding a telescope to observe the overall situation. From time to time, orderlies ran around beside him, issuing different orders to the officers in charge of command below.

It may seem chaotic, but all the soldiers are orderly, doing their own things, and there is no swarming noise.

……

The upstream situation is not bad, but the downstream situation is much more dangerous.

When Li Yuechen arrived, the original village could no longer be seen!Only some sporadic houses can be seen, and some houses that have not been washed away by the overflowing water still have part of the roof exposed on the water.

Many people on the roof were shouting loudly, but the voice was faintly visible in the pouring rain.

The Luoshui that had already overflowed was blown up by the howling wind into waves two or three meters high, and from time to time they crashed down, splashing a lot of water...

If you look carefully, you can still see people's shadows flashing in the crazy waves, some are still struggling, and there are many, the whole body is motionless, obviously dead for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Li Yuechen didn't care about taking a break, and immediately shouted: "Save people first! Hurry up! Save as much as you can!"

After speaking, she jumped into the water first. Her water skills are stronger than those present, and she can give priority to saving those who have fallen into the water.

Li Yuechen plunged out of the water, and when he probed again, he was already tens of meters away, and then grabbed two young people who were struggling in the water, and led them to swim at the fastest speed.

The other soldiers were also about to jump down, but Geng Yunqiang next to him stopped him: "You guys! Tie a hemp rope around your waist before going down!"

"Brigade Commander, I can wait..."

"Shut up!" Geng Yunqiang roared, "How can you be as watery as His Highness?"

The soldiers did not continue to refute, and obediently accepted the order. After tying ropes around their waists, they jumped into the water one after another, scattered and began to save people.

The upstream side is already diverting. As long as that side succeeds, the pressure on the downstream side will naturally decrease, so there is no need to assign extra people to do the diversion.

There is no need to worry in the Eastern Capital City. The dam in the city is very high, and even if the water level rises by a foot, it will not overflow.

A large amount of water splashed continuously in the air. Under the action of the strong wind, the force of the waves became stronger. From time to time, people could even be seen being rolled up and thrown in the air, and then fell heavily into the water.

Standing by the water, Geng Yunqiang saw almost a vast ocean as far as he could see, and he couldn't tell where the dam was and where the village was.

Some of the soldiers went into the water to rescue people, while others started to make improvised rafts to rescue the people trapped on the roof.

Normally, the common people would definitely be afraid of these soldiers, but at this moment, the instinct for survival has replaced emotions, and the soldiers climbed onto the makeshift raft before they could speak.

After Li Yuechen rescued the two people, he turned around and plunged into the water again.

There are too many people involved now, and many of them were washed down from the upstream. Maybe some of them were lucky enough to be caught in the city, but many were directly washed downstream.

For those who cannot swim, the possibility of drowning during this period of struggling in the water is very high.

Those soldiers were not good at swimming, and it was difficult to reach Li Yuechen's level. They could only save one person at a time, unlike Li Yuechen, who could bring two or three people back.

……

On the other side, Li Xian returned to the palace as quickly as possible, and went straight to the Hall of Renshou.

At this time, Wu Zetian had also returned, and sat with Li Zhi to discuss the disaster relief and what help his daughter could give.

At this time, Zhang Chengxin suddenly walked in and reported: "Saint, empress, the Second Highness is here."

Although Li Xian has now been abolished as a common man, he is obviously still regarded as his son, so Zhang Chengxin still calls him Second Highness.

Li Zhi beckoned him in.

After entering, Li Xian had no time to be courteous, and immediately saluted and said: "Grandfather and mother, please also order the Shangyi Bureau and the craftsman supervisor to fully cooperate with the child's work and rescue the disaster!"

"Tell me, what does Chen'er mean?" Wu Zetian asked.

"It is necessary for the Shangyi Bureau to make sacks as soon as possible, the more the better, and at the same time craftsmen to be supervisors..." Li Xian said the order he received.

Hearing Li Xian's answer, the couple looked at each other, and Wu Zetian nodded: "Okay, tell Chen'er that the Clothing Bureau and the Craftsman will fully cooperate."

Li Xian agreed, and then went to give the order. At the same time, he had to let the soldiers of the Joint Logistics Battalion understand what they should do.

Seeing the back of his son leaving, Li Zhi, who was sitting in a wheelchair, couldn't help but smile: "Since Erlang entered the army, he has become a lot more capable."

"Indeed, it's just that Chen'er's actions are undoubtedly slapping some people in the face." Wu Zetian replied.

"Just hit it!" Li Zhi smiled indifferently, "What Chen'er has to do is a big deal, they don't need to worry about it."

Wu Zetian smiled slightly: "That's true. It's just that if Saburo and others know about this move, I don't know what they will think..."

Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and said softly: "For them, this will be... a very vivid lesson!"

……

Li Xian, the prince of the Eastern Palace, hadn't gone out for the past few days because of the continuous heavy rain. He was playing with Wei Lian'er every day, and his work was also thrown aside.

However, when he heard that Luoshui overflowed and the villages outside the city were flooded, he immediately became alert.

Now that he has the job of supervising the country, it is also his job to deal with this matter. In order to avoid being taught by his parents, it is time to think about the way to deal with the flood after the past.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard the news that the princess had rushed to the front line with the army to rescue the disaster. Surprised, he ordered Sun Jingbang to help him get his clothes, and decided to go to the front line to see.

"Your Highness can't go, it's raining like this, and there's a strong wind, if you catch a cold..." Sun Jingbang advised from the side.

"Shut up, as an elder brother, how can I still sit here knowing that my sister is alone on the front line?" Li Xian asked back, then waved his hands: "Go prepare the horse!"

At this time, Wei Lian'er stood up: "If Your Highness wants to go, Lian'er will not care! But at least take a carriage and don't get wet!"

Seeing her determination, Li Xian nodded and agreed.

……

At the same time, Li Lun and his two elder sisters were also in the same situation in other places. Since they knew that their younger sister was on the front line alone, even if they couldn't do anything, they should at least go and cheer her up.

So they also decided to set off one after another, and ran out of the palace one by one in a carriage.

Li Yuechen, who was going downstream, brought back three civilians who hadn't been drowned, and was about to go back to save others, when Geng Yunqiang reported that his brothers and sisters were coming.

Hearing the news, Li Yuechen's first reaction was that they came here to make trouble!

But before he had time to say no, he nodded to express his understanding.

That's fine, just take this opportunity to teach them a lesson, let them understand what the responsibility of the royal family is!
