Datang first village

There are no dikes in many sections of the Yangtze River, so there is no mention of a dike breaking. .

Still in Dongting Lake, northeast of the lake area.

Here is the city of Yuezhou in the Tang Dynasty. The city was originally at a high place, but the impact of the lake on the city was not too great.But at the foot of a hill outside the city, an old man with white hair stubbornly stood in the wind and rain, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, he was unwilling to leave half a step away.

"Old Changtou, there is nothing you can't let go of! Let's go!"

The old man surnamed Chang still didn't move, his eyes were fixed on his kiln.

A team of sergeants also came over at this time, and the captain of the team shouted: "Leave quickly, this place will be flooded soon."

"Don't go, even if you die!" the old man shouted.

"Fight away!" Two sergeants came to fight him.

"You put me down, I'm going to be beheaded. The Taishang Huang praised our teacups at the tea party last year. I spent three months preparing the mud and making it into a base, and it took another whole month to finish it. That's it. Two hours away, two hours away. This is a tribute, a tribute!"

Two hours, this is for the Supreme Emperor.

Several sergeants hesitated.

The captain looked around, picked up a bucket, filled it with water, and poured it directly into the kiln: "Go away."

"You bastard, you bastard. My kiln, my cup!" After shouting a few times, Old Chang fainted.But the captain said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qin has ordered that nothing should be expensive. As long as this old guy is alive, he can continue to burn ten furnaces and one hundred furnaces. If he dies, he will have nothing."

That's right, you can continue to burn it while you're alive.

The apprentices, master workers, and junior workers in the kiln quickly packed up important things, piled those that could not be moved in a room, and then piled them with wood at the door. Several apprentices ran quickly with their old heads on their backs.

Dongting Lake basically doesn't have many embankments, but here in several big cities, there are.

Yuezhou is also a famous city in Tang Dynasty.

Let’s just say that this kiln is also very famous. From the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the present, the celadon fired dared to rank among the top five in the entire Tang Dynasty. kiln.

Many people feel sorry for this furnace, because there are still two hours before the furnace will open.It's a pity that it's a pity that no one knows at this time that later generations have the practice of adding water to fire porcelain, especially copper red glaze.The feldspar and kaolin used in the glaze of the old potter also mixed some copper powder.

The sudden appearance of water produced some mutations in the unextinguished furnace fire.

Most of the porcelain in the whole kiln was damaged, but one or two remained, and they became the contemporary masterpieces that could hardly be fired anymore.This is of course a later story.Right now, the old potter was forcibly taken away, and all the villages in this area were emptied.

"Report, all villages have been emptied."

A general who was in command on the long embankment nodded when he heard this.At this time, the embankment has been raised to fifteen feet, and no one knows how many grass roots have been used and how many stones have been thrown in. No one knows whether it can be blocked.

The women and children came with their supper, and the embankment was safe, at least for the time being, barring several days of heavy rain.

As long as this embankment does not fall, Yuezhou City will be fine.

An ordinary school captain took a sip of the hot porridge, looked back at the solid embankment, and let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, preparations were made, otherwise it would be impossible to build a [-]-foot-high embankment in such a short period of time.Protect Yuezhou, and if possible, also protect the surrounding villages two hundred miles away.

At this time, an ordinary sergeant suddenly rushed to the embankment and sang loudly.

After a hundred years of coma, China has gradually awakened; let go of the world, who will admit to himself;...

Li Yuanxing sang a song by accident, Li Lanshan changed the lyrics, and invited more than ten Changan masters to refine the lyrics.With Wu Huran as the background, a full Tang version of "The Great Wall Never Falls" that was originally written by later generations appeared.

The only two sentences that didn't change a word are that the Great Wall will never fall down, and the Yellow River will flow for thousands of miles!

It's not Li Yuanxing's request, nor Li Lanshan's suggestion. These are the words and phrases that no one is willing to change in Chang'an's many lyrics.Chinese civilization originated from the Yellow River, and the Great Wall was built to resist foreign enemies.How many Chinese civilizations have been ruined by the chaos of China, the Great Wall is just a stone wall.

No matter how much the wall is built, it is only a wall.

Emperor Li Er of the Tang Dynasty said that there was no wall around the Palace of the Tang Dynasty, and no matter how high or thick the wall was for defense, it was just a stone wall.But the people in Chang'an are the most solid guards, so the palace should not be surrounded by walls.

Li Yuanxing, king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty, also said it.

The Great Wall is only one wall, but the Great Wall is a kind of belief. The Great Wall of flesh and blood built by the Tang Iron Army will never fall down.

Along the Yangtze River, 20 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, together with nearly a million young and strong local laborers, carried their hands on their shoulders, and both men and women went into battle.Sandbag artificial embankments with a height of five feet and a width of five feet were piled up at all the key positions.

Yuezhou City.

"Fu Yin, the military rations must be mobilized."

In each state and county, the grain depots are divided into general warehouses and military warehouses.Don't be in a hurry for the military warehouse, it will never be used easily.Reporting like this means that the official warehouse has bottomed out.It's only been ten days, and the granary has bottomed out.

"Empty?" Governor Yuezhou couldn't believe it. There were 200 million shi of grain stored in his granary. How could it be empty in just ten days? Could it be that someone made false accounts, or someone was Secret tricks.Thinking of this, the governor of Yuezhou took out a telegram: "The decree goes on, there is an imperial decree, anyone who dares to make a disaster fortune, ransack the house, and behead."

"Fu Yin, please don't worry. The granaries are divided into upper, middle and lower grades of grain, and there are also various kinds of grains such as rice, flour, and corn. Right now, in the official granary, only the middle and lower grades of grain are exhausted, and the top grade grains are exhausted." It has not been moved yet. But even if it is moved, according to the current situation, it will take five days at most, and these high-quality grains can be stored for more than one year."

"To buy grain, there are enough coins in the warehouse." Fu Yin immediately made up his mind.

The first-class grain is actually the new grain of that year, and it is of very good quality.The inferior grain is last year's old grain.

"Carry the guy, go up the embankment!" Suddenly someone beat a gong, and the whole city shouted.At that moment, many people who had just returned home after a day's work rushed out with their tools. Fu Yin's face turned pale when he heard this. It is not surprising that some part of the improvised embankment is not strong.

But the rain continued to fall, and the lake was less than three feet away from the top of the embankment.

Once there is a hole, Yuezhou City will be in danger.

"Ready to block the city gate at any time." Yuezhou Governor shouted.Then he also left the gate of the mansion, and followed the flow of people to run out of the city.

After a few steps, a wave of water rushed in, knocking hundreds of people to the ground.

"It's over!" Yuezhou Governor's heart felt cold, he turned around and ordered: "Block the city gate."

The city gate was closed, and sandbags were piled up one by one immediately. People who left the city went up the city wall and then ran down from the temporary wooden frame. They knew that the embankment might burst, but the people in Yuezhou City still rushed one by one. out.

The old man also woke up and shouted at his apprentices: "Go to the embankment!"

Use the human wall to block the flood, and then fill it with stones.It was not taught by Li Yuanxing, and no one knew that someone had done this during the Luoyang flood.

The soldiers of this army only knew that the military order they received was to fight floods and Baoyue Prefecture.

"Go up the embankment!" Seeing hundreds of Tang soldiers jumping into the water with ropes, countless voices shouted from all directions. In less than a few breaths, hundreds of stones and hundreds of sandbags were sent to the water. come up.A team of ten people, carrying long wooden stakes, galloped here from a distance.

Can human power overcome the sky?

The Luoyang flood has always been a story in the mouths of storytellers, but when the story came to reality, some people doubted that the story was true, while others suspected that the story was false.

"The Great Wall will never fall!" A sergeant in the water sang loudly, whether it was because of fear or to improve morale, he was singing loudly, and the seriously out-of-tune voice attracted many people to sing along.More people rushed onto the embankment, and countless stones and sandbags were thrown into the water.

Seeing that the breach was getting fewer and fewer and was completely blocked, there was a sudden burst of applause from the embankment.

The hundreds of Tang Jun were pulled up and lay there in the muddy water with smiles on their faces.

A Great Wall that will never fall is sung again. The super chorus of 10,000+ people can be heard clearly even in Yuezhou City.There is such a Tang army, such an iron-blooded Great Wall, and I am proud of being a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.

Amidst the singing, someone suddenly shouted: "I, I have food!"

Have food?What does this mean? The people around the shouting person stopped singing, and many eyes were fixed on the thin man in sackcloth.This man is a big landlord, and he is a big landlord at the same time, not many people in Yuezhou city don't know him.

He has three sons, four wives, and seven daughters-in-law, but no grandson.

Many people said that he was too stingy and never did good deeds, so God was punishing him.

It doesn't matter whether the person is stingy or not, as long as he has food.At that moment, the owner of Yuezhou Mansion, Bo, rushed in front of him: "How much grain is there, Yuezhou Mansion bought it, and there is not much grain on the river embankment construction site."

"I, I won't sell it!" The skinny miser said every word, very firmly.

The eyes around him have all changed, but this guy is still the same.But what can he do if he doesn't sell it? Datang does not allow forced buying and selling, and there are corresponding protection laws for personal property.But right now, the military granaries are still full, and the military granaries are five times the size of ordinary granaries.

Soon, Fu Yin also came over, and said with a cold face: "Two years ago, when you were distributing fairy grain seeds, you were cheeky and exhausted all your means to house [-] mu for your family. You sold the grain Yes, I'll give you a high price."

"Not for sale!" The skinny miser said firmly.

Just when Fu Yin was about to get angry, this man suddenly said: "I donate, I donate!" The sentence of donating stunned hundreds of people. This kind of guy will also donate and do good deeds?

"I donate, 1000 million shi!" 1000 million shi, the huge number frightened thousands of people, Yuezhou Governor really wondered if his ears had heard it wrong.But that person shouted: "I donate 1000 million shi, all of which are high-quality corn and potatoes." (To be continued.)
