Chapter 260
"Drum Bell General, Huai Shui Tang Tang, worry and hurt. Gentleman, gentlemen, Huai Yun never forgets."

Regarding the records of Huai Shui in ancient texts, the records in "Xiaoya Drum Bell" in the Qin Dynasty are very early, but at this time Li Ke was fighting for time with the big water, so there is no record in the poem. So leisurely.

After the principals of those salt shops and grain companies left from the Xuyi county government office, Li Ke took a rest for a while, then forced himself to go to the Huai River, accompanied by Lin Yuantu, the magistrate of Xuyi county.

"The Huai River is the most important water in the world. Irrigate the two Huai Rivers. When the water is conserving, tens of millions of people can live. But if it is flooded, it is no different from the slaughter of people." Arriving at the Huai River outside Xuyi City, pointing to the heavy rain, heading northwest The Huai River, which stretches as far as the eye can see, said to Li Ke.

The Huai River is one of the four curses in the world. The main flow of the world is to benefit the water, and there are few floods. As the saying goes, "the Huai River flows along the track, flows smoothly out of the ladder, and the north and south branch rivers are well organized." millennium.

But this year's heavy rain fell strangely. Not only did it fall urgently, but it also continued for days.

"If this momentum continues, the Huai River will break its embankment in a few days?" Li Ke stood by the Huai River, looked at the Huai River in front of him, and asked.

Li Ke asked, of course, not Lin Yuantu, the county magistrate who only knows how to set up altars and cast spells to fool the people, but Yuan Chengfan who followed him and came here with him.

Yuan Chengfan replied: "In five days, if the embankment is not added, the Huai River will flow out of the embankment in five days at most. By then, the two banks of the Huai River will become the country of Ze."

Li Ke frowned after hearing Yuan Chengfan's words.

Five days, and five days at most, who knows if the heavy rain will stop within five days, and who knows if the heavy rain will not be accelerated within five days?If the rain intensifies, I'm afraid it won't last even five days.

Li Ke asked Yuan Chengfan: "If the Huai River breaks its embankment, where will it be the first to break?"

Yuan Chengfan thought for a while, and replied to Li Ke: "If it's flooded, it should be in the Huaihe Si communication place with the most abundant water, thirty miles northeast of the county town."

The Huai River and the Surabaya River communicate [-] miles northeast of Xuyi, where the water volume is the most abundant, and it is often washed away year after year. The embankment here is also the lowest. If the water level of the Huai River rises again, the first to break the dike will be here.

Hearing this, Li Ke said to Lin Yuantu who was accompanying him: "Magistrate Lin, since that's the case, please pass on this king's decree to recruit all the manpower and materials in the county to go to the intersection of Huai and Si. To repair the embankment here, it will take as long as it takes."

Li Ke doesn't know when the heavy rain will fall, and he can't control it, but he is not helpless, at least he can strengthen and heighten the embankment, and drag the possibility of the Huai River breaking the embankment to the ground. longer.

Li Ke's intentions are naturally very clear, but Lin Yuantu's face was full of embarrassment when he heard Li Ke's words, and said to Li Ke: "Your Highness, if you only use sand and stones, the reserves in Xuyi City are not bad." Sufficient, but now it is summer, there are not many people serving as servants in the county, I am afraid it will be difficult to mobilize enough people to repair the river."

In the middle of summer, it is the time when the counties in various regions have the least number of serving and the most shortage of manpower. It is also reasonable to have a shortage of manpower for embankment construction at this time.

But after hearing Lin Yuantu's words, he felt puzzled, and blurted out: "Since there are not enough men, why don't you send the government army here to repair the embankment?"

As soon as Li Ke's voice came out, not only Lin Yuantu and Yuan Chengfan, but even Li Ke's confidants Wang Xuance and Xi Junmai were surprised, as if they heard something incredible.

Since the establishment of the government military system in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it has lasted more than a hundred years. They have never heard of local natural disasters and the example of mobilizing government troops for disaster relief. Even though Wang Xuance claimed to be well-informed, he was shocked by Li Ke's words. They I didn't even think about why Li Ke would propose such an idea.

"Since the founding of our country in the Tang Dynasty, the government army has always been used for wartime deployment. It has never been heard that it was used for disaster relief or even as a dispatcher. There is no precedent for this matter. I don't know where Your Highness came from." Lin Yuantu Hearing Li Ke's words to call the government army to repair the embankment, he hurriedly said to Li Ke.

Li Ke didn't expect Lin Yuantu to answer like this, so he was taken aback.

Li Ke's mind comes from more than a thousand years later. In the land of China more than a thousand years later, wherever there is a disaster, waterlogging, mountain torrents, even earthquakes, he rushes to the forefront, enduring the pain of the skin, and the danger of death. It is already a consensus in the world to be a certain soldier who is born and forgets to die, and it is also something Li Ke has seen for a long time.

But Li Ke never expected that at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, the government army's flood control and disaster relief was unprecedented. Li Ke's words shocked everyone.

After listening to Lin Yuantu's words, Li Ke turned his head to look at Wang Xuance. Seeing Li Ke looking at him, Wang Xuance nodded and told Li Ke that there was nothing wrong with what Lin Yuantu said.

"It's my king's wrong thinking. It turns out that I have never had such a thing since the founding of the Tang Dynasty." Li Ke saw Wang Xuance nod and sighed softly.

Wang Xuance said: "The government army is only used in wartime. If His Highness calls the government army at this time, it is indeed inconsistent with the regulations. Please think twice, Your Highness."

Wang Xuance said that it was inconsistent with the regulations, but he was actually telling Li Ke on the sidelines that this matter was not in compliance with the court regulations. If he did it, it would be extremely risky.

Although Li Ke is the governor of Yangzhou, he is also in charge of the military affairs of the sixteen prefectures in the southeast, and he has the power to control the local government army. So he risked the displeasure of the world.

If Li Ke does this, even if the courtiers impeach him for arbitrarily transferring the government army, it is reasonable to intend to rebel. At that time, the impeachment of Li Ke will surely fall to Li Shimin's desk like snowflakes, and Li Shimin will not be able to suppress it if he wants to .

This matter has a lot to do with it, even if Li Ke is the prince's minister in Daitian Xunshou, he can't afford it. After all, "military power" has always been a taboo of emperors, and it is the same between father and son.

How could Li Ke not understand these principles, but Li Ke looked at the growing Huai River under his feet, and looked at the tens of thousands of families on both sides of the Huai River, how could Li Ke just sit idly by.

If Li Ke just ignores this matter, it will only take five short days. Five days later, this rich land of Jianghuai River will be transformed into a swamp country. belly, and all this is because of Li Ke's inaction today.

Li Ke thought about this, as if he could just close his eyes to see such a picture, Huainan Road thousands of miles of fertile land turned into a vast ocean, the people were naked, scattered on the street with their children and women, the hungry ground was yellow and emaciated, and there was no vitality.

Li Ke did it, but failed to save Huainan from the disaster, but if he didn't do it, everything he could see with his eyes closed seemed to be close in front of him, and all of this was within Li Ke's palm.

At this moment, Li Ke seemed to have returned to the imperial city seven years ago. That day when Jieli's army besieged the city, Li Ke faced such a choice, and it is the same now.

Li Ke raised his head, looked at the sky, looked at the dark, deep and limitless sky, as if he was looking at a huge mouth, a huge mouth that was about to swallow the whole of Huainan.

Li Ke paused, and said slowly: "Since there has never been such a thing before, then let me break this rule, do as I wish, and adjust the government army to control the flood, and I will take responsibility for the crime. Of."

　I would like to say that I have resigned from my current job. I have been running around recently, looking for a new job, and I am also busy with moving. The update is a bit late, please forgive me.
