Datang first village

Few people in Dongting Cave can't swim, and few can play boats. .

When they noticed that these women in Tang military uniforms were constantly paying attention to the side of the ship, many people also went to check.

Originally thought that the boat was broken, and the boat was leaking.

But people who really understand boats, whether it is a big boat or a small boat, at least the truth is the same.Seeing the obvious markings on the hull, especially when the glaring red part has dropped below the waterline, they understand.

The draft of this ship has reached its limit.

When an old man staggered along the side of the boat and struggled to climb up the side of the ship, many old people moved and began to disembark by themselves and transfer to the raft.

"You don't need to get off the boat, this boat can last!" Su Shanshan shouted.

One of the old men smiled: "Girl, you are the military academy of Datang. You are the biggest officer on this boat. The old man started fishing when he was 12 years old. Regardless of the size of the boat, the old man also understands the boat. It will be rainy and windy." If there is heavy rain, and the wind is stronger, I am afraid that the boat will not be able to hold it."

"Yes, I can hold on!" Su Shanhu's mouth was completely stiff.

According to the strict regulations of the Navy, the waterline is the standard of death, and it must not exceed the waterline.Because Li Yuanxing's ship has not yet gone to the far sea, there are only four standards: the Nanyang waterline, the summer and winter waters of the East China Sea, and the freshwater waterline.

It is already exceeded.

For a ship with a load of [-] tons, more than three inches is really very dangerous.

Su Shanshan's persuasion was useless, and dozens of old people got off the boat.But how much can dozens of elderly people weigh? Thousands of people are already crowded on this boat. In addition to the tension of the cables, the wooden raft is much lower than the boat. For a boat with a load of [-] tons, the weight of dozens of elderly people is very important for reducing the weight of the boat. Waterline pressure doesn't work at all.

It was getting dark again, and the people felt a little more nervous.

"Turn on the light, I think someone will come to us!" The second officer said to Su Shanhu.

"Continuous telegram, we..." Su Coral gritted her teeth and said loudly, "Help!"

Help, will there be any boats coming?Many people don't know who can answer this question, but Su Shanhu is full of confidence. She believes in the Datang Navy and is omnipotent!

Calling for help, how could it not work, this is not a cry, this is a telegram that can be transmitted eight hundred miles.

The first batch of rescue fleets had dispersed, and many of them were further upstream, and Su Shanhuo belonged to this batch of ships.

The second batch, originally parked at Huating Port, was the first giant ship of the Tang Dynasty, the [-]-ton "Tiande" with a [-]-ton cargo carrying the words written by the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty, and forty large and small fleets were heading upstream.

"Report, received a distress signal. Under the Dandong Navy, the Jeju Storm was trapped. More than 4000 people asked for help. The ship is five inches below the waterline. Now in Dongting Cave, the exact location cannot be determined."

"Order, the White Shark is the flagship, and the ship leaves for Dongting Lake!" The captain immediately gave the order without the slightest hesitation.

He knew very well that his ship was the only one that could carry 4000 people at a time, and the rest of the ships still had to be scattered to save people, so sending eight [-]-ton sea-going ships would affect the rescue of people upstream.Although the White Shark is a [-]-ton battleship, because it is a battleship, there is too much space on the ship for the configuration of a battleship.

Save lives and deliver goods.

But even if the important parts of the battleship are for saving people, people are not allowed to approach them casually. There are too many secrets of Datang.

On the Dongting Cave, there is only waiting, no despair.

Because the female captain said that the Tiande, a subordinate of the Huating Navy, would come over, and there was no need to explain.

A beam of light shot into the sky, marking the location of the storm in the dark rainy night.

A big ship, a super big ship with a load of 58 tons.The length is [-] Zhang [-], the width is [-] Zhang, the height of the whole ship has reached [-] Zhang, and the height above the water is also [-] Zhang.The lowest point of the ship is the front deck, which is also close to nine feet high.

Flowing against the Yangtze River, in order to protect the ship behind, the Tiande only drove at half speed.

Tiande is the only super ship in Datang with sixteen steam engines.This design is outdated. Even if the new ship has a load exceeding Tiande, it will not have sixteen steam engines, because the power of the steam engine is also increasing, and the design is also improving.

The speed of seventeen knots came with the wind and waves.

There was a long siren sound, and the ship was still invisible, but the sound was transmitted in the dark night.

"Horn!" The whistle of the Tempest also sounded in the dark night.

The Tiande slowed down and approached slowly. When the distance was still three miles away, the Tiande turned on the spotlights on the ship. There were too many ships, and it could even be said that there were redundant steam engines, which could provide power for the whole ship. .A few lights can't affect the total power of the whole boat.

Su Shanhu strode to the bow of the ship, and gave a military salute of Tang Dynasty to the Tiande.

On the Tiande, the captain of the Tiande who was standing in the captain's room also responded with a military salute. He didn't care whether the other party could see it, but he cared about his own heart.

Even the old boatman in Dongting Cave who has dealt with ships all his life could not have imagined that such a huge ship existed in the world.

The two captains did not leave the ship. This is the rule of the Datang Navy. Unless the ship is in port, the captain will never leave the ship.At sea, the ship is alive and the ship is dead.There is a huge difference in the size of the two ships, and they are both standing on the deck. The captain of the Tiande shouted loudly: "How is your ship?"

"I only have two boxes of coal, and almost all the food on board has been used up. The hull is slightly damaged, but it does not affect the sailing. I have already applied to return to the port, and the instructions given are to return directly to Huating."

The captain of the Tiande nodded. There are almost 4000 people here, and the food and coal that can be carried on a 4000-ton ship are limited. [-] people ate for two or three days, and it was not easy to keep two boxes of coal.

A large wooden box was first sent down from the Tiande, without saying anything, but let it be moved to the captain's cabin first.

Then there is coal, clean water, and enough food for the ship's people for three days.

After untiing all the rafts, the Storm turned around and took more than 400 old and weak people back to Huating first.The Tiande is not a battleship. When it was designed, it was designed according to the luxury cruise ships of later generations.It was originally used by the royal family, but Li Yuan never sat in the sea once, and the rest of the royal children were full of overseas fiefdoms.

But no one dared to drive this boat to the fiefdom.

Even if you have the courage to produce it, you still have the qualifications to use it.

Li Er has his own special flying boat, which is much faster than the boat, and it is also stable.

Originally, Wu Zhao planned to transform this boat into a yacht, a luxurious yacht.But before the plan could be implemented, the heavy rain came, and the Tiande, which had its luxurious bedroom and living room removed, was used for disaster relief.

4000 people boarded the ship, just lining up along the ladder to climb onto the ship.The place to live on the ship was reassigned, and the captain contacted the states in his captain's room to see where these people would be placed first.

Up to now, there has not been a place where the victims of disasters can really be regarded as safe.

It was still raining, and without knowing it, there was a possibility that it would be flooded.The resettlement sites planned by several states are all on the mountains, but there is no way for sea ships to approach them. How to transfer them is still a problem that needs to be solved.

Li Yuanxing, who took a nap, has already woken up.

There was a foot-thick pile of telegram records on the table in front of him. Li Yuanxing didn't ask his subordinates to sort them out, but just arranged them in chronological order.I have seen it myself, and it is not too late to sort it out.

Li Yuanxing didn't ask his subordinates to do it, because Li Yuanxing was afraid of missing something.

Rubbing his eyes, Li Yuanxing put down the few sheets in his hand, and said to the cabinet master, "Grandpa, do you have any criticisms?"

"Criticism?" The cabinet master asked back.

"For example, there is no system name, and there is not enough organizational capacity. The cooperation of all parties can only be said to be reluctant, and in terms of logistics support, there is only food, but I don't know that more disaster relief needs. Next, it has been more than ten days However, there is no truly reliable and reassuring resettlement site for the victims.”

The cabinet master disagreed with Li Yuanxing's words.

"Standards are set by people and implemented by people. First of all, there is no standard for this matter. There is no record of disaster relief in the historical materials before such a catastrophe. You must know that there are three steps in the previous disaster relief."

Li Yuanxing understood what Master Gui meant, to put it bluntly, don't apply modern standards to ancient times.

The master of the cabinet continued: "In the previous disaster relief, the first step was to pull out the living ones in the village as a unit, and pile up the dead ones. The second step was to distribute some food to the official wealthy households, and open some kind of porridge shed. The third step , the royal family will reduce or exempt some taxes."

"In the historical records, there are also earthquakes, flood relief and the like?"

"That's for putting money on your face. I've already asked local officials and historians. They must know more than you can read in books."

Li Yuanxing was still a little disappointed.

The cabinet master sat next to Li Yuanxing, this was the real persuasion.

"Think about how many people didn't understand you when you were in Luoyang, even your soldiers may not understand you. They just acted according to your orders, but they didn't have self-consciousness, enthusiasm and belief."

"That's right, that's how it is, and the people still feel scared."

The master of the cabinet said again: "Look at the present, at least the common people have a sense of peace of mind when they see Datang's military uniforms. It is impossible to eat a fat man with one bite, so you have to eat one bite at a time. I believe it will not be 30 years. When facing natural disasters, there will be a truly mature system.”

"Maybe I was too anxious."

"It's too urgent. According to the current soil and water conservation and vegetation conditions, it is much better than in the future. There is only one Dongting Cave. Although tens of thousands of villages have been flooded, the Yangtze River water has hardly flowed out of the river. In addition to other Several lakes, especially Poyang Lake, are now flooded only with villages in the lake area."

"The pearl field is preserved, and the rest will not have any major problems."

The cabinet master lit a cigarette for himself, approached Li Yuanxing and whispered: "In later generations, many rivers will dry up and many small lakes will disappear. If you want to dig a canal to bring the water from the Yangtze River to Hangzhou Bend, it will be a waste of money." What's more, future generations will burst the embankment before the water flows here."
