Daming heir

Chapter 349

The officers of the Lankao County Government drew their knives.

Several river workers who had been working on the river all day and night could only bow their heads silently, and were escorted out of the county office by the guards.

"You can't do this!"

"The embankment cannot be blown up, if it blows up, all of us will be finished!"

After leaving the county government office, the wind and rain outside became heavier, and the entire sky was so dark that almost every minute was getting closer and closer to the ground.

The river workers who rushed over from Sanyi Township yelled at the guards around them, and several of them lost their minds completely, and fell to sit on the cold and silted ground.

Several guards looked at each other, then looked back at the Yamen silently.

Faintly, behind the rain curtain, there was the long and long voice of the prostitute singing.

"Honestly, if the levee is blown up, all of us are probably going to be doomed. But if the levee isn't blown up, we're going to be doomed now."

An officer returned the knife to his waist, and explained with a very solemn expression.

In front of Hongwu Gate.

The entire river dropped rapidly.

The dike collapsed today!

"It's over..."

When lying on the edge of the gap, Liu Si's eyes widened.

Liu Si lay down on the spot, staring closely at the river farthest from his line of sight.

The river workers supported each other and stood up: "Let's go! Go get the things that blow up the embankment first, and then go downstream."

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Yu Xin, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace and Minister of the Household Department, stood up and held the memorial to answer in a deep voice.

"quick!"

Boom.

Liu Si tightly supported the old Master Liu, looked at the upper reaches of the river with his pupils shattered, and murmured in a daze: "The flood peak is coming, it is coming, it is really coming..."

"Everyone knows what will happen when Hong Feng comes, so I don't need to say."

The waves are getting closer, closer and closer.

Laoshizi's Lankao County was already full of disasters, but now that there is such a broken county magistrate in Laoshizi, no one can see hope.

"Save... Gulu Gululu..."

He had never seen such a peak and wave before!

Liu Si took a deep breath, stepped forward, and pushed the crowd towards the edge of the embankment.

In Lankao County, the guards and river workers are busy blasting the levee downstream.

As Liu Si made arrangements according to the practice of dealing with flood peaks on the river, the river workers began to move.

The whole world seemed to be quiet.

boom!
Boom boom boom!
bang bang bang!
Like the wrathful voice of Tianwei, it howled and roared on the entire embankment.

boom!
Another huge sound came from a place farther downstream.

Old Master Liu tightly grasped Liu Si's palm with his backhand, and raised it heavily: "Steady! I'm afraid I will fail this time, and these people will rely on you in the future!"

Bang bang bang.

"Remember! Don't mess around, watch out for the people around you, and ask for them if you are in danger. One more person on the river, we will have more chances of winning!"

……

The guard also got angry at this time.

despair.

The imperial guards replied, stepped forward to lead the horse, and the people behind opened the Chengtian Gate.

With a puff, Liu Si spat out a mouthful of blood.

Do not!
The whole south bank of Henan Province is going to be finished.

A wave that seemed to be higher than most, rolled up and down continuously, rolled up a thousand layers of waves, and rushed down from the upstream highland with unparalleled power, like ten thousand horses galloping.

There is no hope to be seen.

"They all saved their lives!"

These are the river workers who grow on the embankment, and they know which places are stronger and which places will never be washed away by the flood peak.

"It's all over..."

"Allocated more than 21 people from the three guards of Datong and the four guards on the left and right of Weishuo Dongsheng, [-] pieces of cotton cloth, [-] pieces of silk, and [-] catties of cotton. In this matter, the Ministry of Household Affairs It has been properly handled, and all the materials have been shipped from the warehouse of the Ministry of Yingtianhu."

The angle of view keeps zooming out.

Before he could understand the current situation on the river, Liu Si's heart skipped a beat and he turned his head hastily.

Liu Si's hearing began to recover in his ears.

Liu Si's eyes widened and he turned his head, and behind him, the hand tightly held by Old Master Liu suddenly disappeared.

"The commander-in-chief Zhou Xing ordered the governor Qianshi Song Sheng, the governor Liu Zhen, and the commander Zhuang De to lead the horse infantry with [-] horses to conquer the savages."

"Slay the Yellow Dragon!"

"Fourth brother, you stare at the river, Old Master Liu... leave it to us!"

The scout gritted his teeth and followed closely behind the two guardsmen.

"Steady!"

As for the court, it is also finishing the snow conditions in the prefectures and counties on both sides of the Yangtze River last year. The spring plowing has already started, and stabilizing the financial and taxation areas in the south of the Yangtze River is the top priority of the court today.

The guards of the imperial city were shocked, they couldn't bear to be surprised by Henan Dashui, and hurried out of the way.

"Hong Feng is here!"

It seems that the next moment, the riverbed that has been submerged under the river for countless years will be exposed to everyone's sight.

"Grumbling..."

After decades of river work, Liu Si can tell at a glance.

The entire embankment was vibrating, and the huge waves slapped on the shore, making a deafening noise, which was gradually synchronized with the heartbeat of the river workers on the embankment. Every impact and beating was shocking. The endless might of the sky made people panic.

in sight.

with a snap.

"Go to Wenyuan Pavilion! Grandson is discussing matters with courtiers!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and looked at the other party: "In places such as the Northwest River, if I remember correctly, there is not much water to irrigate the fields. It seems that the land cannot be fully used for growing grain. Can the Shanglin Garden Supervisor send someone away? Let’s go to Northwest Hetao and other places to see if we can grow cotton there, and it will also be convenient for the imperial court to supply cotton cloth and cotton armor to Nine Sides on the spot.”

After cursing for a while, the guards looked at the river workers and said, "Let's go, or it might be too late."

This is a harbinger of the imminent arrival of the flood peak.

Next to him was another guard who shook his head helplessly: "Get up, after all, we are all authentic Lankao people, and there is no need for us to be unhappy. You are river workers, and we are guards, but We also have river workers in our family.

"Stand still! If you can't stand still, just lie down!"

Hongwu 28 years, March 29th.

Liu Si's heart tightened, he shifted his steps awkwardly and turned around.

"The wealth and lives of millions of people are in our hands!"

The violent air waves mixed with water droplets and smashed objects hit people's faces like sharp knives.

Yuan Sutai didn't expect his grandson to ask such a question, so he nodded after thinking for a while and said, "Reporting to Your Highness, the cotton is not warm at all. The northwest is sunny, and the cotton is not as watery as rice. I think it may be possible to cultivate cotton on a large scale. Today After returning to the Yamen, the minister arranged for the officials to take a trip to Hetao, and strive to confirm it this year."

The sound of horseshoes echoed in the Thousand Steps Corridor.

Or maybe, at that time, I might have been mixed with the embankment.

"Slay the Yellow Dragon!"

Kaifeng Mansion is finished.

"Help!"

A cavalry scout covered in mud and water, with a red feather on his back, crashed into the capital through the Chaoyang Gate unimpeded.

"It's over..."

There are a wide variety of folk utensils and tools on the river channel that were coerced from the upper reaches.

The red feathers fluttered on the scout's back, scarlet and breathtaking.

Liu Si fell flat on the ground.

Zhu Yunxi knew that the piece of land in Anxi, which had not been taken back by Daming, was an excellent place to grow cotton.

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and then looked at Yu Xin, Minister of the Household Department.

Liu Si's eyes began to draw away.

Liu Si only felt his stomach twitching, but he also understood that he couldn't do without himself in the river now.

The Beijing army also began to enter the preparations for returning to Beijing for a new round of rotations.

Liu Si turned around and looked at all the river workers who were waiting for him to give orders.

Everyone moved, and the entire embankment seemed to be in a mess.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Looking at these people from a distance, the backs of each one seem to be the same person.

On the entire embankment, countless river workers began to run with deafening roars.

The entire Yellow River embankment in the north of Lankao County is already shrouded in mist.

Then he struggled to get up, and staggered to the edge of the breach.

The scout immediately raised a token and shouted loudly: "Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

The sound of thumping echoed softly in Wenyuan Pavilion.

For an instant.

"Get off the horse and walk to Wenyuan Pavilion to play the report."

"Today, labor and capital can still kill this yellow dragon!"

By the way, Xuzhou Mansion and Fengyang Mansion below Guide Mansion will be finished.

These water mist all spread from the river channel where the yellow dragon was galloping due to the violent impact and splash.

Liu Si's lips began to ooze muddy blood, and his hands tightly clasped the objects under him.

The runoff of the river seems to have suddenly become much smaller.

The earth-shattering roar hit the cochlea directly, hitting his eardrum hard one after another, causing tearing pain.

Endless despair.

The whole line of sight is full of yellow sand river water.

On the embankment, everyone spoke in unison, everyone looked excited, vowing to fight Huanglong to the end.

A breach with a length of thirty feet, Huo De lay in front of Liu Si's eyes.

In Liu Si's ears, there was only the sound of his own violent heartbeat.

The scouts kept walking, passed through Chengtian Gate, Duan Gate, and arrived in front of Meridian Gate.

Liu Si quickly rectified the emotions of the river workers, then jumped to a high place and looked at the river in front of him.

"Run to higher places, to the pile of materials!"

"Today, behind us is Lankao County, the entire Kaifeng Prefecture, and the wealth and lives of millions of folks!"

Everyone just felt that everything in front of them disappeared, only the peak and waves that seemed to be connected with God remained.

In Yingtiancheng, the Water and Land Dharma Assembly and Rituals of Zhaijiao to pray for the blessing of Empress Xiaoci, the emperor, will be officially held in April.

"Even if we die, we will still protect Old Master Liu!"

Holding a shovel in his hand, Liu Si took off the bamboo hat on his head with a wave and threw it heavily on the ground. Then, against the wind and rain and the huge waves, he looked around at every river worker in front of him.

The huge waves hit him heavily, making him feel that he would let go of his hand in the next moment and be swept away by the huge waves.

The guard stared and said: "Whether it's too late or not, the county magistrate is the god of our Lankao County. We will do what the magistrate says. Even if we are going to die in the future, he will die first!"

The cavalry rushed all the way into Hongwumen.

The vortices continued to expand their range, sucking all the nearby things that could be swallowed into the river water like yellow mud.

at the same time.

The fertile fields and villages between Gukou and the county seat have long since disappeared, and all of them have been submerged under the flood.

There are more and more shouts in my ears.

The entire levee, which cost the empire countless money and food, was trembling constantly, as if frightened by the majesty of this yellow dragon, it crawled under the suppression in shock.

Finally, Liu Si's vision and hearing slowly recovered.

Several river workers who had been supporting Old Master Liu together immediately looked at Liu Si.

The emperor guard in front of the Meridian Gate immediately came out with two people leading the way.

In the line of sight, the surrounding scenes are also shrouded in darkness a little bit, only the river surface in the middle of the line of sight bursts out with even greater light.

Outside the palace, in front of Hongwu Gate.

It's just that in such a short time, the water has already traveled half the way.

"As long as the first head of water has been carried, there will be no major incidents. Now go to the people to spread the word upstream and downstream. Once there is a breach, report it immediately, and stop it if you risk your life."

Liu Si roared in despair.

The wave was higher than the wave, and it was constantly enlarged in the sight of all the river workers on the embankment.

"Rush! Henan Dashui!"

"Let people go to the bottom of the embankment, and let those who put the earth bag under it, hurry up. Once the breach breaks, let them send the earth bag over."

Yuan Sutai, the supervisor of Shanglin Court, got up immediately: "The minister is here."

Huge waves washed over the river bed, rolling up the sediment that had been silent for countless years.

"Give Xiabu to the sergeants in the Beijing Guards, two bolts per person, which have been delivered by the Ministry of Households to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies."

Do we people not understand the truth?But this matter was decided by the county magistrate, and if the magistrate said that the embankment would be blown up, no one in Lankao County would be able to stop it.Unless we don't want to die now, and send our heads to the county magistrate. "

With his heart hanging, he stood up tremblingly, and first glanced upstream, the head of the flood peak had passed, and the tail peak behind had fallen below the rigidity of the embankment.

"Run away..."

Liu Si's eyes popped, and then he passed out completely.

"coming!"

Even if the embankment breaks, I have to stand on the embankment!

The Forbidden Army of the Imperial City just stepped forward to stop them.

I saw Old Master Liu had slowly closed his eyes, and fell silently to the ground, mixing with the yellow mud on the embankment.

"If the dam breaks, we will have to block the breach inside, otherwise the entire Lankao, and even the entire Kaifeng mansion will be ruined!"

Liu Si could no longer see clearly what was half a foot in front of him.

The river worker in Sanyi Township was devastated, completely helpless under the wind and rain.

"Stand still!"

The perspective is pulled back to the river embankment in an instant.

"Shanglin Court Supervisor." Zhu Yunxi called softly.

Gradually.

Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu got up and answered: "Wu Dewei Commander Li Ju, transferred to Zhenwuwei Commander Division, hereditary commander, has now received the order to set off."

Liu Si, who has lived on the river all his life, can see the current situation at a glance.

"coming!"

The scout repeated again: "Zuozuo! Henan Dashui!"

In an instant, all kinds of cries and life-saving voices filled the ears.

Liu Si, who was lying on a high place, began to bump up and down uncontrollably.

"Rewards to Guizhou Dusi and various guards who achieved meritorious service in the first battle against Xibao, as well as killed and disabled soldiers, a total of 530 people, and 21 nine ingots. The Ministry of War has been transferred to the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households Adjust the banknotes and distribute them to the Ministry of War."

The three of them passed through Zuoshun Gate, and finally rushed all the way to the outside of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Liu Si no longer knew whether he could walk down the embankment alive this time.

Outside the city, on the embankment of the Yellow River outside Sanyi Township, more and more people have climbed up.

Everyone is wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, holding shovels, brazing baskets and other tools for embankment and flood control on the river.

Someone roared in the violent storm and huge waves.

In front of Chengtianmen, the scout with Hongyu on his back was finally stopped by the forbidden army.

From the crowd on the embankment, there was a burst of terrified shouts.

Fengyang!

"This year's flood peak water head is rare! Once the breach cannot be blocked, no one can continue to live!"

"Run!"

The coir raincoat on her body has been brushed away.

"Yan Wang Zuo, in the first ten days, he led the Beiping capital Sima infantry with [-] horses, and marched north to Bashang Grassland and Monan. Because Zhang Zhiyuan in Beiping swept the two places last year, Yan Wang will send his army to the desert this time, and explore deep into Mobei."

Rivers of water poured from the river to the back of the embankment, as if the Tianhe River had burst.

The brothers promised to protect Old Master Liu's body, so they would definitely risk their lives to hug the last vestige of this man who had worked hard on the river all his life.

"But is it still too late to blow up the embankment?"

Above, Zhu Yunxi was sitting in an armchair.

"Hold tight!"

The waist-thick tree stump was torn to pieces by the ubiquitous force in an instant.

"Labor and capital have been fighting this yellow dragon for decades, but it has not been able to kill labor and capital!"

The level of the river, which was originally descending, began to rise continuously.

All at once, like a candle that will go out at any moment.

He bent his ears to listen to the courtiers' answers, and tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest.

As the temperature rose little by little, the empire once again turned on its horsepower and moved towards the predetermined goal according to the established plan.

Liu Si's whole head was blank, and he looked at the long-cherished Lankao county town.

"Slay the Yellow Dragon!"

The internal organs of the river workers have already begun to be displaced by the shock, and there are bursts of tearing sensations in their bodies, as if they will be torn apart immediately.

Can Hetao?
He really doesn't know.

"Listen all!"

Upstream of the embankment, there were already shouts and screams from the river workers.

The breach of more than 30 feet in front of me could not be blocked even with the lives of the entire Lankao County, and now another breach has exploded downstream.

He never thought why at this time, someone downstream would blow up the levee.

"Hong Feng is coming!"

Regardless of the rain falling from the sky, or the huge waves crashing up from the embankment on the bank, the roar of the river workers on the river channel completely disappeared from Liu Si's ears.

On the embankment, the sound of the gong never stopped.

"Report!"

"Rush!"

"Flood in Henan, Taihang embankment collapsed!"
