Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 607 Letter to All Luo Yu Generals and Soldiers
Wei Renpu was excited when he heard the imperial decree arrived.

Suddenly got up.

The members of the river control special operation team were dumbfounded when they got the news.

The army went north to participate in river control? ? ?

The sun suddenly came out from the southeast and northwest?

Although the Luoyu court was rigorous in its military administration, the soldiers from all directions no longer had the style of robbers they used to have.

But the memories of past scars are not so easy to erase...

Especially for these civil servants, the older ones have experienced it personally, and the younger ones like Guo He will also learn about the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in the book, and the deeds of the warriors who disrupted the world. Every time they read it, they are filled with righteous indignation.

Although the later scholars did not experience this era, the people of this era recorded the atrocities of the warriors in the books, pointing out a way for future generations to suppress the military generals.

This is also the reason why since the Song Dynasty, the Han Dynasty had a lot of fear and hostility towards generals.

A literati who masters a pen can even make a fuss about an emperor who doesn't like it, let alone a warrior?

The literati of later generations are black and black. The literati of the Luoyu court have personally experienced the era when warriors caused disasters to the world. They were really black from the heart and did not trust them.

Hearing that the 13 imperial troops went north, most people doubted their ears.

Only Wei Renpu burst into tears.

The current situation of the Yellow River is very critical. Once the embankment breaches, hundreds of thousands of fields in Chanzhou and Huazhou, as well as the people of the two prefectures, are at risk of becoming flooded.

Faced with such a natural disaster, Wei Renpu, as the commander-in-chief of the emergency response, has been in close contact with Luo Youdu of Bianjing.

The distance between Chanzhou and Bianjing is only [-] miles, and the court horse can reach it in less than half a day, and the speed of the pigeon is faster.

In many cases, as many as five or six times a day, each other was summoned.

Wei Renpu didn't dare to say it clearly in Chanzhou and the surrounding officials, but he expressed his position in the secret letter with Luo Youdu: the geographical location and economic environment of Chanzhou and Huazhou are the most important things, and if they are affected by the disaster, the impact will be too great.

Flood discharge in the middle and lower reaches north of the Yellow River can minimize losses.

This is a last resort.

In addition, Wei Renpu also thought of a trick.

In order to decompress the Yellow River, they opened up a diversion project, using the method of segmented construction.

Each member of the river control action team is responsible for a section of the project, and the connection between each stage is poor when calculated carefully.

If you work overtime to connect, there may be a chance for the project to be completed ahead of schedule before the flood discharge.

In this way, the water of the Yellow River can be diverted to the canals they built, so as to reduce the pressure of flood control in the stages of Chan and Sliding.

But Wei Renpu did not give hope to this method.

The reason is that there is not enough manpower.

In the past six months, the imperial court has conscripted three corvées, using nearly 100 million manpower.

Luo Youdu is not Yang Guang, he caught the people and pushed them to the end, the people dug ditches in the water, the skin under the water was full of maggots without taking a rest.

For the corvee of the whole project, Luo Youdu and the prime ministers of the Council Hall made effective and reasonable arrangements.

For the first time, 25 people were recruited for a period of three months.

The second call-up is 40 for the same three-month period.

30 for the third time, ready to complete the project in the last three months...

At this final stage, the imperial court did not prepare for the next wave of corvee, and wanted to give the people time to rest.

Disasters and floods wait for no one, and it takes more than ten days to mobilize labor and gather a certain size of people in an emergency, and it is simply too late.

Wei Renpu didn't think about the soldiers at all.

Even if Wei Renpu has worked in the Privy Council all year round and has been in contact with the military for a long time, he does not believe that the soldiers will go north for reinforcements at this time.

But the fact is that 13 banned troops came.

Wei Renpu saw hope. The discipline, strength, and endurance of the imperial army were not comparable to ordinary corvee civilians.

If they follow the arrangement wholeheartedly and connect the canals, the efficiency will far exceed the budget.

Wei Renpu said with tears in his voice: "Quick, don't be dumbfounded. Everyone go back to their own places to buy time for our soldiers. Before they connect the canal, no matter what, we must prevent the embankment from happening."

The members of the River Control Special Operations Group recovered from the state of disbelief and disbelief, the blood on their bodies was on fire, they all promised loudly, put on their coir raincoats, and strode away in the rain.

**********
At the northern foot of Guangwu Mountain.

The head of the bodyguard Sihu Jiejun, Kong Jiade, watched the three soldiers pry another big rock embedded in the ground, but they couldn't shake the rock even with all their strength, and cursed: "You idiots... Know how to use your brain? Look at you, Uncle Kong!"

He threw the hundred catties of rocks in his hand on the ground, and circled around the big rocks.

The big rock is only five or six hundred catties, and it is not difficult to move it together, but a small half of the big rock is buried in the soil, and it cannot be moved by manpower alone.

When the three soldiers saw Kong Jiade approaching, they couldn't help showing a bit of panic on their faces, and they all took two steps back.

They were all soldiers of Hu Jie Army, and the three of them had heard of Kong Jiade's name.

Kong Jiade, nicknamed Kong Yibiao, is a veteran of the Hu Jie Army with superb martial arts skills and a fierce and unruly character.

The predecessor of the Hu Jie Army was the Fengguo Army of the Later Han Dynasty, which was ruled by Shi Hongzhao, the first fierce general of the Later Han Dynasty.

Shi Hongzhao was a standard warrior of the Five Dynasties, fierce and bloodthirsty.After he became the auxiliary minister, as long as the court officials made a slight mistake, they would be executed directly without asking the severity of the crime.He was in charge of public security in the capital. Someone spread rumors. He killed everyone who spoke at the party, and the rumors stopped immediately.

Under Shi Hongzhao's command, Kong Jiade was an executioner, and his hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people.

Years after the fall of the Later Han Dynasty, Kong Jiade's murderous reputation was still widely spread in the army, and everyone was frightened.

Kong Jiade was used to the attitude of a soldier, and he was complacent before, thinking he was great.But as he got older, the son died of a vendetta, and the grandson gradually grew up, his mentality changed a little, and he was a little sad.

"Come on, hollow out the left side here!"

He commanded the soldiers to dig a deep pit on the left side of Dashanshi, and then found a stone on the right side to support it. He pressed down against the stone with a crowbar, and Dashanshi pried out the land under the principle of leverage.

The surrounding soldiers looked straight.

Kong Jiade said complacently, "Well, it's called the principle of leverage, and my grandson taught it."

When he said this, he looked proud.

The surrounding is also praised again and again.

Kong Jiade waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't flatter your mother, and work for me. Work harder, and when you finish the task, you can shoot as you like."

As he spoke, he lifted up the [-]-jin boulder he had dropped earlier, and strode forward with fiery eyes.

There is only one thought in my mind, "Little Ruier, Yeye did embarrass you before, Yeye will not be looked down upon by others in the future. Yeye will become a soldier in His Majesty's mouth, and the knife in his hand will no longer be used against his own people. If It would be nice to meet His Majesty earlier..."

Thinking of Luo Youdu's "Letter to All Luo Yu's Generals and Soldiers", Kong Jiade only felt that his whole body was full of strength.
