Mohist Tang

Henan Road, Qucun.

Luoyang ordered Zhou Hongde to give orders, and a large number of people began to move to the highlands on a large scale under the command of the local Village Officer.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the government’s control over the countryside was also very powerful, and the local people lived in low-lying areas, and they were also affected by floods all the year round.

Once I heard that the flood was coming, I immediately began to obey the command and began to transfer. There were long queues of people, dragging their families to avoid the flood.

However, there are always some people who are unwilling to abandon themselves and have accumulated a lifetime of wealth. An elderly woman in Qucun couldn’t help but weeping bitter tears looking at her hundreds of chickens.

“If I don’t go, I will die, and I will die here too.” The old woman said with a stubborn look.

She bought this from her brother Mohist Family Son as soon as the spring came, and she has worked hard to raise it for half a year. It can be said that she has devoted all her efforts.

An old woman who has been poor for a lifetime has never owned hundreds of chickens. With such a huge wealth, she can’t give up such a huge fortune after she turned rich.

“Mother, please. If these chickens are gone, you can raise them again. If the people are gone, everything will be over.” The old woman’s son pleaded bitterly.

But no matter how the son persuaded, the old woman just didn’t agree, the son dragged forward, even holding the door frame and not letting go.

Village Officer rushed to hear the news, angrily roared: “Come here, carry Lady (Clan) and carry me away.”

Luoyang Ling gave them an urgent order , The water of Yellow River has already exceeded the warning line, and it is imminent to burst the embankment and discharge flood.

Immediately, several senior citizens from Qucun and Zhang Lady (Clan)s son carried Zhang Lady (Clan) away. Lady (Clan) looked back at her chickens and wept bitterly.

The old woman is the last one. The Village Officer ran for five miles with the entire group and came to a high slope. This is the place where their village escapes floods all the year round.

Upon the high slope, I saw that many surrounding villages have gathered here. In fact, Lady (Clan)’s behavior of not giving up her home is not an exception. There are crying everywhere on the high slope. sound.

“Dont be sad, the Imperial Court will definitely come to the disaster relief. Your Majesty is a benevolent monarch. Once the flood is over, you will rebuild your home.” Several Village Officers comforted the people over and over again Emotions, this allowed the people to stabilize a little, and began to organize fire and cooking, and build temporary settlements.

On the Yellow River embankment, Luoyang made Zhou Hongde look solemnly at the roaring Yellow River at his feet.

“My lord, I can’t wait any longer. Many Yellow River embankments have springs. If the 16th guards and soldiers hadn’t blocked them with all their strength, I’m afraid the embankment would have been broken.”

The master kept urging from the side. In his opinion, since the Imperial Court has issued an order to break the dike and divert the flood, if Zhou Hongde does not divert the dike in time and cause the Yellow River to break the dike, then I am afraid it will be a great responsibility. .

“How long has it passed since the order to inform the people of the transfer!” Zhou Hongde asked.

“My lord, it’s been eight hours. It’s all delivered quickly. I believe these villages have received the news.” Master replied.

Zhou Hongde raised his hand several times and then put it down. Eight hours was indeed not enough.

“Wait for one hour, the hour has arrived, and the embankment will burst immediately.” Zhou Hongde said in pain. Even if there is only one hour, the chances of people transferring will be greatly increased.

Everyone was staring at the funnel in front of them quietly, at this time, every second of time is a test of life and death.

The long one hour comes.

“Break the embankment!”

At the order of Zhou Hongde, many young people suddenly began to break the embankment.

At this time, the Yellow River embankment is already very fragile. Qingzhuang has just dug a hole, and saw the water of the rushing Yellow River, which will spurt out immediately, like a long trapped The beasts roared like a roar, and soon burst into tears.

“Everyone retreat immediately!” Zhou Hongde loudly said.

In fact, without waiting for Zhou Hongde’s order, these young men had already abandoned their tools and started running back along the Yellow River embankment.

However, as the Yellow River’s rupture continues to expand, the roaring Yellow River’s water gushes out along the rupture, swallowing everything that stands in front of it.

However, no matter how fierce these scourges are, they obediently follow the reserved route, moving towards low-lying places.

“The water level has dropped!”

“My lord, the water level has dropped!”

_____

Master suddenly Pointing to the Yellow River at the foot and said excitedly, many young men also cheered.

Zhou Hongde hurriedly looked down and saw that the water of the Yellow River, which was originally Pentium, had dropped significantly. Suddenly, it was sighed in relief and the water level dropped, which meant that the danger of Yellow River was decreasing.

“Dont take it lightly. Immediately send people to continuously explore the water levels of the Yellow River sections. At the same time, immediately organize manpower to search and rescue the flood release area and rescue some trapped people. Inform the counties to prepare for the resettlement of the victims. Its important to ensure the stability of the victims. Zhou Hongde instructed.

This is just going through the dangerous situation, the flood discharge area still has more troublesome aftermath work to be done.

“Yes!” Master said immediately.

At the same time, a large number of people were divided into two, most of them began to search and rescue the victims in the flood discharge area, and a small part began to explore the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River.

It wasn’t until three days later that the water level of the Yellow River, with a 500-mile radius around Qucun as the center, fell to a safe level, and Zhou Hongde was truly relieved.

Not only that, even the water conditions in the flood discharge area have stabilized and are fixed in the planned flood discharge area. In addition to financial losses, almost all the people are safely transferred.

“I went to Chang’an City to report victory immediately, saying that Henan Road was not burdened, and the Yellow River flood was over.” Zhou Hongde was instructed.

“Yes!” Master also said excitedly, this time to be able to survive the Yellow River disaster, Henan Road must be a great achievement, and it will definitely add a lot to Zhou Hongde’s political achievements, maybe Able to beat Chang’an City Su Luosheng.

“Yellow River has a great victory! The floods have receded!”

The government officials who reported the victory departed from Kuaima, Henan Province. Everywhere they went, they shouted loudly, and they were full of joy in an instant.

When the good news came to Chang’an City, the whole Chang’an City immediately boiled, and all the merchants and residents ran to the street cheering excitedly, as if they were celebrating the holidays.

Many people still remember that the last time Chang’an City was so celebrated was a few years ago when Great Tang’s victory over Turkic came.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was overjoyed when he saw the good news from Henan Road. The flood discharge area method proved effective. A catastrophic disaster was resolved and invisible. For the first time in history, the Yellow River water suffering was overcome by manpower.

The harm of Yellow River has been around for a long time, and it can be said that it is the greatest pain in the hearts of every generation of Chinese children. However, this unruly giant dragon finally has a way to be surrendered.

“numerous officials will stop the day and celebrate with the people. Tonight Jin Wu can’t help.” Li Shimin waved his hand.

Chang’an City is the Imperial Capital. The curfew system is very strict. Except for the Lantern Festival and other major festivals on New Year’s Eve, all other curfews are imposed.

After the news that King Wu couldn’t help coming out tonight, the whole Chang’an City immediately aroused greater excitement.
