Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1271 The flood in Jiangbei will be solved!
Autumn wind, white waves.

On the Qingdu Weir embankment, two people stood impressively.

The cold wind blew up their clothes, giving them a feeling of being fluttering, as if they were about to ride the wind back home.

It's Meng Ziang and Bai Mingwei.

After many hardships, they successfully arrived at Qingduyan.

Liu Yao also completed all the plans brilliantly and is now presiding over flood discharge at another dam downstream.

The two were standing on the embankment observing the surrounding situation.

Towering embankments stretch across the river to the left and right, blocking the giant beast of the Lingjiang River.

Looking around, it seems that there is no end where the embankment meets the mountain.

It was as if this was a barrier falling from the sky that could not be shaken without human power.

From the moment he arrived at Qingdu Weir, Meng Ziang was certain that the solution to the flood problem in the north of the Yangtze River was this weir dam, which was recognized as one of the wonders of Dongling.

Without thinking, he asked Bai Mingwei to arrange the flood discharge.

Now, everything is ready, just waiting for an order.

Bai Mingwei asked: "Sir, is the time right?"

Meng Ziang nodded: "The gate can be opened."

Bai Ming nodded slightly: "Sir, please avoid it as soon as possible."

Meng Ziang walked a few steps and then turned back: "General, if the dam overturns due to overload during the flood discharge process, no one on the dam will survive."

"If you want to send a signal, you don't have to light a fire on the embankment. Why don't you follow me and evacuate together?"

Bai Mingwei heard the words and shook his head with a smile: "There are five hundred people's corvees and one hundred government officials below. Where they stand, they all bear huge risks."

"The signal can be sent in many places, but it is the most suitable for me to stand here. Only when I am here can they feel at ease."

A row of stacked firewood was placed not far from Bai Mingwei.

As long as she lit a bonfire and lit up the smoke, the corvee and government servants who were ready to open the gate at any time would untie the iron chain of the gate after seeing this signal.

At that time, ten gates will be opened at the same time, and the weir dam will overturn when there is more than ten feet of water stored in it.

This bonfire can be lit by the peaks on both sides of the bank, and Bai Mingwei does not need to take this risk.

However, as she just said, the lives of hundreds of people below also bear the risk that if the dam collapses, all their bodies will be wiped out.

At this time, she was on top of the dam not only to calm the hearts of these hundreds of people.

At the same time, it is also an expression of her willingness to advance and retreat with these hundreds of people.

Fortunately, Tangling has not used smoke as a signal to report the enemy's situation in recent years.

It's perfect for this, otherwise they wouldn't know where to find it, and it can quickly send signals hundreds of miles away.

"Hui Hui, please leave quickly."

Finally, she patted Xiao Huihui on her shoulder.

Little Diaoer looked at Meng Ziang who was walking further and further away. He just stretched out his front paws, but then retracted them and hugged her neck tightly.

Bai Mingwei didn't say much and patted Gray's back.

She raised her eyes and looked at Meng Ziang, only to see that Meng Ziang was about to leave the embankment.

She opened the fire folder and threw it on the fire.

Wood stained with rosin, with special grass buried underneath.

When the fire burned, thick smoke rose into the air.

At the same time, a commotion soon broke out above the gate of the dam.

"The general lit the fire!"

"I saw smoke!"

"The signal is coming!"

"I saw the signal!"

"Open the gate!"

"Open the gate!"

"Everyone work together! Open the gate!"

"..."

Actions that have been rehearsed countless times, commands engraved deep in my mind.

At this moment, the practice is completed.

Just listen to "bang bang bang..." ten loud noises.

In an instant, huge waves poured out from the gate.

A huge amount of water poured into the river in an instant, and the sound was deafening.

The water mist splashed by the waves covered the sky and the sun.

Countless rainbows were looming among the white waves that covered the sky and extinguished the earth. The scene was magnificent.

The team that opened the gate were stunned and immediately fled in fear!

"what!"

"I'm going deaf!"

"So much water! It's scary!"

"Help me..."

"Mother!"

"I want to go home!"

"I want to go home!"

"I don't want to die!"

"I will die!"

"I don't want to die!"

"die……"

They had already been frightened to the point of losing their minds. In that small space, you were pushing and squeezing, completely confused.

The yamen servant banged the gong in his hand desperately.

However, the sound of the signal used on the battlefield was soon overshadowed by the overwhelming sound of the waves.

Some people were too panicked and pushed away the people around them, and together with the people around them, they fell down from where they were standing.

In an instant, he was submerged in the huge current.

Not even a small splash of water was made.

"Calm down, everyone!"

"calm!"

"The General is above us!"

"The General is above us!"

"Calm down!"

"..."

The attendants of each team screamed at the top of their lungs and failed to control the situation.

Everyone was driven by bone-chilling fear, like panicked birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

The government officials could only block the situation in front and behind to prevent more people from falling due to panic.

It's not that they are not afraid, but they know in their hearts that the general is with them.

It is this peace of mind that keeps them rational and does not panic like the corvee.

Bai Mingwei stood on top of the dam, and she couldn't hear the commotion below.

Her calm, beautiful eyes looked at the huge vortex that was rapidly forming in the barrier lake, and her body couldn't help but adjust its center of gravity in order to stand more firmly.

The dam was trembling continuously, and behind her was a huge wave, as if it only took a little bit to crush her.

She had never seen anything like this.

She didn't know how powerful the water plague was at that time.

But she knew that it must be like this, making all living creatures as small as ants in front of it.

The little white ferret had already crawled into her lapel, hiding in her arms and shivering.

The people standing on the left and right mountains were all shocked by this scene and could not recover for a long time.

After a while, the peaks on both sides of the river lit up with smoke.

That is the signal sent to the two dams downstream.

The Qingdu Weir, which had been held for several years, had been leaking for a whole day but could not be discharged.

Throughout the entire process, the Qingdu Weir, which took hundreds of thousands of people to work hard and took twelve years to complete, is still standing.

This is the most precious water conservancy dam in Dongling, and it is also a strategic point built with the sweat of countless ancestors.

It has nurtured almost the entire Li Shu population in the north of the Yangtze River, and with its majestic and majestic body, it supports the small and swampy country of Dongling.

Looking at the dam, deep in Bai Mingwei's heart, a feeling of reverence arose spontaneously.

The flood discharge was still continuing, and seeing the flow decreasing, Meng Ziang came to Bai Mingwei's side.

"General! I'm going down to observe. The backwater effect is very good, and the accumulated sediment is gradually being swept away!"

"If nothing goes wrong in the main downstream areas, the main stream of the Lingjiang River can take this opportunity to clear away most of the accumulated sediment."

"When the river is clear, the flood will recede along the river, and the floods in Jiangbei will be solved!"
