Chapter 502 Choices
The southeast direction has been reduced to a red ocean.

Huairen Hall has a lot of people, countless houses, connected buildings and corridors, shady trees, various medicine storehouses stocked with a lot of dried medicinal materials, the most afraid of fire.Therefore, a lot of effort was spent on dealing with the water leakage.

Not only the front hall and the back house are fully equipped with water hoses, water bags, water bag pumps and other things for fire fighting.There are also large water tanks with surplus quantity placed around each warehouse, and they are filled with water all the year round, just in case.

A few days ago, because of the shortage of iron pots for distributing porridge and medicine, Yang Ye sent people to requisition a certain number of water tanks from various drug storehouses and pharmacies, but the number left was enough.

If it wasn't for the guards and guards of the Eastern Medicine Store who were entangled by a group of masters brought by Tan Lang and unable to rescue them in time, such a disaster would not have occurred.

Chang Qianfo performed lightness kung fu, walked along the periphery of the fire for a while, climbed up and looked into the distance, and looked around, he could only see thick smoke billowing from the southeast corner, among which the fire in the eastern medicine storehouse was the most serious.

Because the wind was blowing to the southeast, half of the East Pharmacy on the north side of the East Medicine Store was on fire, and the East Cooked Medicine Store, which caused the disaster, was the least affected because it was located in the south of the East Medicine Store. keep.

On the other three sides, the fire on the east side was the lightest. After Fu Xiu led people to put out the fire in the cooked medicine store, he left some people behind to deal with the aftermath. Small fires turned into large fires, burning through the streets and destroying surrounding houses.

The fires in the northwest and west directions are fierce, and there is a posture of restlessness.Tongues of flame several feet long flicked in the air, licking wherever they licked.

The guards, carrying buckets and water bags, stood in a row outside the fire. One spray was exhausted, and the next spray was immediately picked up.

However, the fire was too fierce, and before the splashed water reached the center of the flame, it was baked into a puff of white smoke and dissipated with a "chi".

Throwing the water bags in would be useful, but the fire is burning like this, the number of water bags is not enough at all, which is quite a drop in the bucket.

Everyone retreated while fighting the fire, but they couldn't stop the fire from spreading.

Chang Qianfo was condescending, seeing the situation below clearly, and his heart became more and more heavy.With all his strength, he landed on the eaves and jumped down, just in time to see the two masters Wang Lianchen and Yang Ping galloping towards them.

Yang Ping and Wang Lianchen were responsible for the evacuation of patients in the two medical nursing homes in autumn and winter respectively. However, the four medical nursing homes in Huairentang in spring, summer, autumn, and winter were originally in chronological order. On the other hand, the autumn and winter gardens in the east are full of seriously ill patients, and it is difficult to sit up, let alone walk.

Relying on young and strong labor to carry people out one by one.

Huairen Hall suddenly caught fire, causing panic in the medical and nursing home.Some unreasonable relatives and friends of patients even complained and cursed.What's more, they directly left their parents or wives on the hospital bed and ran for their lives.

Although the remaining part can help to move and rescue patients, because they have never encountered such a big situation and don’t know how to deal with it, they ran around in panic, finding the wrong door and taking the wrong way.People crowded, people bumped into people, it was a mess.

At the beginning of the fire, the guards of the two gardens and most of the young adults rushed to fight the fire with buckets of water.There are only a group of weak doctors and apprentices left, how can this manpower be enough.

Together, Wang Lianchen and Yang Ping planned to go to the west to borrow someone, when they saw Chang Qianfo on the roof and hurried over to ask for instructions.

Chang Qianfo was also looking for something to say, jumped off the roof and ran towards the two of them.

There was no time to exchange greetings, so he said as he walked, "Uncle Yang, you personally send a letter to the east to inform the firefighters to withdraw. Abandon the East Medicine Storehouse and East Medicine Store, and help rescue the patients in Qiudong and Yuanyuan. Regardless of property, life is the most important thing." .If someone sees money and makes a fuss, causing looting, the court will deal with it.

Another person was sent to find Uncle Jiang, and asked him to organize manpower, with Yixin Hall as the boundary, all houses to the east of Yixin Hall were demolished, and personnel were evacuated.Let me tell you that anyone who helps put out the fire will be rewarded by Changjiapu afterwards.The people were mobilized to build earthen walls along the entire line from Jiangjun Street to Neihu to prevent the fire from spreading to the west of Yixin Hall. "

Chang Qianfo spoke clearly, but Yang Ping and Wang Lianchen were stunned, neither of them dared to answer the words.

The meaning of Chang Qianfo is to give up one corner and protect the overall situation.

It sounds obvious, but this corner is not so easy to give up.To the west is bounded by the Yixin Hall, to the north by the Neihu Lake, and the southeast covers an area of ​​more than one hundred acres, not to mention the houses and buildings on it are all overgrown, and the furniture and furnishings in each hall are worthless, let alone Talk about all kinds of precious medicinal materials and medical utensils.

This is equivalent to giving up half of Huairen Hall, and the loss is immeasurable.

"My lord, is it really impossible to save?" Yang Ye asked hesitantly, "Should we wait and see the situation?"

"I can't wait any longer." Chang Qianfo looked up at the bright clouds in the sky, and said with a serious face, "Wait any longer, when the southeast wind blows completely, the fire will take advantage of the wind and the entire Huairen Hall will be destroyed."

These words are not alarmist, it is only a slight breeze now, and the fire is moving so fast, when the strong wind blows, it will only take a moment to go from east to west.

Even if you don't want to part with it, you have to part with it.

Yang Ye looked up at the sky, only to see the flames shining in the sky, and the smoke and haze billowing in the sky, which seemed to cover the sky and the sun.Under such circumstances, the clouds that are gradually darkening are not so conspicuous.

Judging by the weather, the rain will not stop for a while, but it is very likely that there will be strong winds.

Yang Ping was afraid for a while, and regretted that he was confused and almost made a big mistake.Take orders and go.

Chang Qianfo continued to instruct Wang Lianchen: "Uncle Wang, you should go west immediately, dispatch 50 people who came to fight the fire, retreat to the inner lake, set up water dragon water to put out the fire, and keep the granary. Don't take it lightly in the east of the inner lake. Let the fire burn into the backyard."

Wang Lianchen also went.

Chang Qianfo performed lightness kung fu and rushed towards Jiujia Street.Before reaching the Governor's Yamen, the gate of the barracks less than two miles away was wide open.

Ling Fu rushed out first.

Huang Yuan led the team, thousands of soldiers filed out in a line of four.

Chang Qianfo was overjoyed, strode forward and called, "Uncle Ling."

He bowed his hands to Huang Yuan again: "I'm sorry, Lieutenant General Huang."

Huang Yuan nodded: "It should." Turning around and waving: "Follow me!"

Most of the Huxiao Battalion soldiers were sent to guard the gate of the city, leaving less than 600 soldiers.After Fang Xian received Ling Fu's request for help, he personally borrowed five hundred soldiers from Chen Ning.

Half of the Huxiao Battalion soldiers and half of the Chuzhou Mansion soldiers formed a temporary formation, but nothing major happened.It was just a little chaotic at first, but soon became orderly, and marched towards Jiangjun Street with neat steps.

　Thank you for the reward and monthly pass that made pigs change their names!Thanks!
