Start a Ming Dynasty plane

In the middle of the Wei River, there was heavy rain and howling wind. In the wind and rain, a group of soldiers in blue uniforms on the river bank stared at a small boat in the river.

The boat was crumbling in the wind and rain, as if it would capsize at any moment.

But at this time, there were several soldiers in blue uniforms fighting over there.

"Captain, let me come."

"Captain, let me do it. Little Huzi is only two years old this year. If there is no father, how can you let your sister-in-law take him to live?"

"Stop talking nonsense. If something happens to me, how can the county lord treat my little one badly? The pension is enough for the little tiger to grow up, and my meritorious service is enough for him to enter Lantian Academy without the exam. If he can read something, It can be regarded as the glory of our old Wang's family. As for you, you just married a girl called Chunni, and you have no children yet. If you die here, what will Chunni do? Chunni is a good girl, you can't let her be a widow. "

"Captain, how long have I been married? If I sacrifice, Chunni can remarry without children. If you sacrifice, my sister-in-law will disappear for the sake of the little tiger and will not remarry. Let me do it."

"No, this is absolutely not possible..."

"Okay, stop robbing, captain, third child, one of you has a family and children, and the other is just newly married, it would be a pity to die, let me do it, I am an old bachelor, with no worries, this is a life-saving job I am here at the right time to live, I have eaten the food from the county lord for so many years, it is also time to do something for the county lord and for the people of Lantian, all right, don't grab it, I will come."

At this time, a middle-aged man grabbed the rope from the captain's hand and put it on himself, he reached out and knocked down the captain's hand that wanted to grab the rope: "Don't grab it."

He took the post of master. He blamed himself and felt very sad at the time, but the master smiled and said, "I'm used to laxity. I really don't understand if you let me manage people. It's just right for you to come and help me solve it." Big trouble."

There are only two kinds of Xunbing flags. The white flag means temporary safety, while the red flag represents danger. Release the flood immediately, and release the flood immediately!
Seeing Lao Du's signal, Captain Xun Bing shouted: "Hurry up and go to the nearby post station, and send a telegram to the downstream dam to release the flood immediately. There must be no mistakes!"

My mind is running fast, where should the flood discharge be to minimize the loss, how to deal with the affected people after the flood discharge, and how to rebuild the disaster-stricken area. Now the farmland in some areas has been planted with summer grain. , the loss must be heavy.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's face sank like water and he said: "Daguo, if you still think that I am your master, don't rob me."

Here, Lao Du completed the task and was ready to return, but just halfway there, a storm hit directly and fiercely. Before Lao Du could react, the next moment, the whole person and boat were directly detained in the water.

He is a retired officer from the Lantian Army. He should have been assigned to a comfortable civilian department, but firstly, he is not educated enough, and he does not want to deal with the group of literati in the civilian department. Second, he is also a person who can't sit still. He also wanted to continue to shine for Lantian, so he took the initiative to ask for the position of Xun Bing.

"Yes!"

Gu Zi pushed the door open and entered Li Chaosheng's office. At this time, Li Chaosheng was lying on his back on the chair, rubbing his brows. He didn't sleep well last night, and the rain outside made his heart burn.

Don't underestimate this rope. The inside of this rope is composed of a soft iron wire. The iron wire is not very thick. In order to increase flexibility, a layer of beef tendon is wrapped around the iron wire to increase the toughness of the rope. It is hand rubbed out of cooked cowhide to ensure the toughness of the rope.

"Pfft, whoosh..."

The middle-aged man looked at the captain's softened eyes and said, "Don't worry, captain, don't you understand my skills? It's fine."

Lao Du crawled out of the water, spat, and then swam against the wind and waves to the shore, but the wind and waves were too strong, if there was no safety rope, he would be blown away like that boat, becoming a The first Xun soldier of the third generation of the old Du family to die.

In the past, the casualty rate of flood soldiers was as high as 70.00%. As long as there was a flood, many flood soldiers would die as a result. The main reason was the lack of safety protection.

The captain's eyes widened when he saw this scene, he shouted excitedly, and immediately shouted: "Pull the safety rope, pull!"

"Wang Daguo!"

The news spread quickly, and the messengers rode horses for a mile to the frontline station, and then called the downstream dam to release the water and flood.

After finishing speaking, the middle-aged man tightened the rope on his body, walked to the boat in a few steps, waved to the blue-uniformed soldiers behind him and said, "Don't get angry with the hammer heads, all of them are waiting for me on the shore. Good news, I’m not sure, I’ll model two big carp for you later, let’s go drink later, hahaha..."

"That's right, immediately telegraph the Ministry of Water Resources!"

If it wasn't for his rich experience and closing his mouth in time, he might have choked to death just now, even if he was finally pulled down to the shore by the safety rope, he would still be a dead body.

"Master."

Hearing this, the face of the middle-aged man suddenly became ugly. He let out an angry roar, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, and the captain was taken aback. He had never seen a middle-aged man so angry. He stared blankly. Middle-aged man.

Old Du's fifth uncle was in the water, and the hemp rope of the safety rope was broken by stones, and then he was washed away by the flood.

The captain looked at the middle-aged man who was paddling the boat in the wind and waves, his mood was extremely complicated, and his eyes couldn't help turning red.

The wind is howling, the style of the river is very big, the waves blown by the wind are big, the middle-aged man rides the wind and waves, shakes the boat, and goes to the water level observation point in the middle of the river without fear.

After hearing this, the captain said: "No, I don't agree with you to go on this mission. I am the captain and I have the right to arrange missions. I will carry out this mission."

Otherwise, if the flood destroys the dam, the losses caused cannot be dealt with by timely flood discharge, so the responsibility of the flood soldiers is to report the water situation.

Only later did he know that the three generations of his master's family belonged to the Xun soldiers. His grandfather, second uncle, and fifth uncle were all washed away by the flood and died unexpectedly.

After arriving, he was assigned to a master, this middle-aged man who rides the waves and rides the waves. The master has a very cheerful personality, loves to talk and laugh, usually has no airs, and has absolutely excellent professional ability.

The captain looked at the determined eyes of the middle-aged man, and couldn't continue. The flood situation is like this. The Wei River has reached a water level that has never been encountered in a century, and now it is stormy. At this time, it is almost a risk of death to go down the river to measure the water level. .

After hearing this, everyone responded: "I know the captain, we will not let go even if we die."

At this time, when Gu Zi mentioned the information from the Ministry of Water Resources, Li Chaosheng almost realized it immediately, sat up straight and said, "Let me see."

……

Guzi got up and hung the prepared water conservancy map on the wall from the filing cabinet at the side. Li Chaosheng looked at the water conservancy map with his hands behind his back, staring at the location of the dam and the village below the dam.

"Xianzun, after a night of intelligence gathering, the water level of all the rivers in Lantian has risen above the warning line, even approaching a high water level that has not been seen in a century. Floods are inevitable, and the wind and rain have not stopped. It is unavoidable, although the dams in various places have begun to discharge floods one after another, but the water is still unstoppable, I am afraid that the flood discharge area should be expanded, and the county officials should make a decision."

When he was promoted to the captain, his master bought him wine and meat and happily celebrated it for him. He was also very happy and had a drink with his master in a daze. It belongs to his master.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, he successfully approached the central area, looked at the water mark, and suddenly his eyes widened. At this time, the water level had exceeded the warning value by a full inch.

He learned a lot of knowledge from his master. With the improvement of his professional ability, he was quickly promoted to the captain of Xun Bing. There is no other reason. He is a demobilized soldier. In this respect, Lantian has preferential treatment, and his master is a native After Lantian unified Shaanxi, he was directly incorporated into the Ministry of Water Resources and continued to serve as Xun Bing, with far less qualifications than him.

In the past, Xun soldiers either did not have safety ropes, or the safety ropes were straw ropes. The grass ropes were soaked in water and then rubbed with sand and stones in the water. If the water washes away, it is dead.

The safety rope collapsed tightly at this time, and fortunately there was a safety rope, and the county lord personally ordered the Water Conservancy Bureau to equip these front-line flood soldiers.

Old Du sat up from the ground and said: "These are not the things that we Xun soldiers should take care of. Hurry up and report the matter, let the county officials know the situation here earlier, and make plans earlier, so that more Lantian can be saved. people."

The information was very brief, but Li Chaosheng knew that water and fire are ruthless, and there is not much time left for him to make a decision. Li Chaosheng said to Guzi: "Show me the blue field water conservancy map and let me have a look."

"Ah, Master!"

Later, Master helped me countless times in my work, and today Master took risks for my younger generations...

Gu Zi immediately put the information on Li Chaosheng's desk. Li Chaosheng opened the information and looked at it seriously, and Li Chaosheng's face became ugly when he looked at it.

The middle-aged man bent down, picked up the oars and rowed the oars, facing the strong wind and stepping on the huge waves, he rowed towards the middle of the river little by little. He needs to go there to confirm the water level, and they need to notify the downstream of the water situation in time Dams, if the water level rises above the warning line, the downstream dams must be prepared for flood discharge.

The team leader wiped away his tears, stepped forward, wrapped the rope around his body a few times and shouted: "Come on, pull the safety rope to Lao Tzu, Lao Du's life is in our hands. "

Thinking of this, Lao Du turned his head, took out the red flag on the boat, and waved it desperately to the shore.

After hearing this, Old Du said: "It has exceeded the cordon line of a hundred years ago by more than an inch."

The rope was pulled in instantly, followed by a figure who was slowly dragged up from the water.

The safety rope allowed Lao Du to remain strong even in the wind and rain. In the wind and waves, he could rely on the pull of the crowd and was slowly pulled to the shore. When Lao Du was pulled to the shore, he lost all strength. Just now It was so thrilling that even the old sailor who was swept into the water by the wind and waves just now almost didn't react.

The captain said with a serious expression at this time: "The rain is still falling. If it doesn't stop at night, the downstream dykes may not be able to hold it, and a large-scale flood must be released."

"Huhuhu..." Old Du panted heavily, and it took him a long time to let out a breath. The first sentence he opened his mouth was: "Have you sent a message to the downstream dam?"

Seeing this, Lao Du was terrified. According to the experience of their Lao Du family, when the water level reached this position, the downstream dam was about to collapse.

"That's good." Old Du breathed a sigh of relief, the captain looked at Old Du and said, "Master, what is the water level and why is it so urgent?"

The captain made the decision directly.

Hearing this, the captain said: "Master, I have telegraphed to the embankment department, and the flood discharge should have been organized by now."

"County Honor, information from the Ministry of Water Resources."

As it got closer to the middle of the river, the boat became more difficult to steer. However, Lao Du relied on his ancestral Xun soldiers and the experience summed up by three generations of life to still steer the boat steadily, a little closer to the water mark in the center.

After listening to the captain's order, a messenger immediately ran out to convey the order. The water and fire are ruthless. Such things must be notified to the frontline dam as soon as possible.

After hearing this, the team leader and the others turned pale. The water rises an inch, and the dike is one foot higher. Otherwise, it will be difficult to stop the torrent. Now it has exceeded the warning line by an inch, which means that it is almost forced to the downstream. The highest point of the dam is reached, which is definitely a huge test for the dam.

"Captain, Lao Du has sent a signal, ah, it's the red flag, let out the flood, let out the flood!"

It's getting closer, 30 meters, 20 meters, ten meters...

And Lao Du's safety rope is not ordinary. It was ordered by Lantian Li Chaosheng to improve it, and sowed the funds, so the water conservancy department sent them this rope that cost three taels of silver.

Li Chaosheng looked at the water benefit map and weighed the pros and cons. The previously reserved flood discharge areas and the prepared reservoirs have all been filled, and the flood discharge will be carried out to farmland and villages next.

Thinking of Li Chaosheng's complexion gradually getting serious, he took out a pen and drew a few circles on the map, and then said: "The order goes on, the Weihe River will use Dawangzhuang, Xiaowangzhuang, and Yujiagou as the flood discharge area. , presided over by the head of the village, carried out by the militia, and immediately relocated the local people. The administrative department immediately divided the resettlement areas nearby. The logistics area must ensure the living needs of the people. After the disaster, the government will compensate and build houses. Immediately send someone to supervise the local law and order, and anyone who takes the opportunity to cause trouble will be severely punished!"

Li Chaosheng quickly made the deployment, and Gu Zi recorded on the side, followed by Li Chaosheng: "The Jinghe River Basin, with Wangjiapu, Erdaohe, and Sunjiabao as the flood discharge area, implement the above policies."

"Tonghe River with Yangjiaogou..."

Li Chaosheng deployed quickly, trying to avoid factories and other industrial areas and densely populated areas, planning a most suitable disaster avoidance area, and trying to minimize losses.
