- In this era, the Yellow River was restless, rising and falling at any time, and there were floods all year round.
Those who manage the river divide the flood season into nine sections. The first month is 'Lingjieshui', the second and third months are 'peach blossom water', the fourth month is 'wheat yellow water', the fifth month is 'melon water', the sixth month is 'alumite water', the seventh and eighth months are 'huomiao water', In September, it is called "Denggao Water", in October it is called "Fucao Water", in November and December it is called "Wrinkling Water".
It is April now, and the wheat ridges in the East China Plain are growing beautifully and the awns are changing color. Therefore, the flood conditions during this period are called "wheat yellow water". The wheat yellow water mainly comes from the precipitation in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. There has been much more rain this spring than in previous years, so the wheat yellow water is naturally much more ferocious than in previous years.
The torrential rain continued all night and finally subsided at dawn, but the roar of the Yellow River became louder and louder.
That is the flood peak formed by the water from thousands of tributaries in the upper reaches of the Yellow River - the "Maihuang Water" in the third year of Longqing is here!
A yellow dragon let out a crazy roar and writhed in the river bank with its teeth and claws. The water surface is already level with the embankment, and the situation is very critical!
Amidst the terrifying sound of turbulence, countless people in Linhe Prefecture and County, as well as soldiers from the garrison, were mobilized by the Hedao Yamen and the Prefecture and County Yamen. Carrying bags of sandbags, they trotted up the two- to three-foot-high embankment and worked hard to raise the embankment.
Under this situation, the three giants in water control can no longer take care of internal strife. Zhu Heng, Minister of Industry, Weng Dali, Prime Minister of the River Channel, and Pan Jixun, who followed shamelessly, divided the 600-mile river into three sections. Pan Jixun guarded Pei County, Zhu Heng took command in Xuzhou, and Weng Dali went to Suqian to take command.
When it comes to flood control, Pei County, where the embankment burst two months ago, is naturally the most difficult. The newly built river embankments are not yet strong, and piping and breaches continue to appear, causing frequent dangers. They all rely on the large number of people to fill them up.
In order to defend their homes, the peasants fought hard, carrying sandbags and jumping into the guan yong! Layers of human walls were built at the breach to block the ferocious waves and give those behind them time to lay sandbags!
From time to time, people are washed away by floods, but people no longer care about rescue, let alone sadness. They have to save all their strength and race against time to fight floods and rescue people.
Fortunately, Pan Jixun had rich experience in fighting floods. He calmly commanded 50,000 civilians, made the most efficient use of manpower, and adopted various simple and effective means to fight against the flood peak.
But there were waves of sadness in his heart. These people who protect the river embankment with their lives will not know that no matter how hard they try, their fate is not in their own hands
At the previous flood control meeting, everyone agreed that if the downstream really couldn¡¯t handle it, they would light a beacon and send a signal to the upstream.
When he sees the smoke, he will open the newly repaired cofferdam here, let the Yellow River pour out from the last breach, and use Weishan Lake to store floods, so as to minimize the overall loss.
Of course, the prefectures, counties, villages and towns on both sides of Weishan Lake will inevitably be flooded again
"It's not because it offends people here, how could Zhu Heng and Weng Dali let him, an idle person, take charge?"
??~~
In Xuzhou, the soldiers and civilians along the river were also fighting to the death with Huanglong.
Although Zhu Heng is conservative and stubborn, he is proud of himself. He has been practicing in river engineering for many years and has commanded many times of flood fighting and rescue operations. He is very experienced.
In addition, Xuzhou is the capital of Zhili Province, and the river embankments are stronger than those upstream and downstream. Under Zhu Butang's command, there were always no dangers.
??~~
The next day at dusk.
After fighting desperately for a day and night, the water level in Peixian County has finally stabilized, which means that the peak of the flood has finally passed!
Huanglong rushed downstream unwillingly to harm Xuzhou
And the dike riddled with holes is still there!
The 50,000 soldiers and civilians, who were exhausted and dying, cheered heartily, celebrating that they finally saved their homeland!
Pan Jixun also breathed a sigh of relief, because the smoke from the downstream never rose. At this time, the flood peak has passed, and it is meaningless to open weirs to release floods.
Finally, he no longer has to let the people on both sides of Weishan Lake scold him for his immoral behavior that has lasted hundreds of years.
"It seems like everything is safe downstream." Pan Jixun happily said to Pan Dafu.
"Nothing happened to us in the most dangerous place, and nothing will happen to us downstream." Pan Dafu looked at his father's sunken eye sockets and a tired look on his face, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Father, you haven't been here for two days and two nights." Close your eyes, go back and take a rest.¡±
"Well, if I keep an eye on him for one more night, I will feel completely at ease." Pan Jixun nodded, but did not dare to be careless at all.
He and the flood-fighting soldiers and civilians mustered up the courage to continue to heighten and strengthen the embankment. It was not until early the next morning that the river calmed down completely, and he ordered to??You may not know it yet. "Zhu Heng sighed and said with rare gentleness: "Our governor of water transportation is so impatient due to rumors about shipping. As soon as the canal has water, he can't wait to organize water ships to go north"
"If the river embankments in Peixian were dug again at that time, the river water would flow out and the canal would naturally dry up again. His two thousand canals would be stuck in the river and completely destroyed. He cannot bear this responsibility."
Zhu Heng glanced at Weng Dali with some hatred and said: "So, Zhao Kongzhao just forced him to secure the river embankment, and he was not allowed to light the beacon fire when dangers appeared frequently. It was dark, and no one saw a pipe surge. As a result, A bang, that¡¯s it, alas"
Zhu Heng sighed. Although he, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, had no responsibility for the dike burst this time. But Lao Zhu is still worried about the country and the people. How can he not get angry when he sees that the situation has been artificially turned into this?
"Alas" Pan Jixun also sighed along with him. At this time, it no longer makes any sense to accuse Weng Dali of not taking responsibility. The right thing to do is to help him blame the governor.
"By the way, Yinchuan." Zhu Heng suddenly remembered something and said to him apologetically: "The method of attacking sand with a beam of water seems to really work."
