Someone took the lead in making trouble, and the remaining soldiers no longer tolerated the grievances they suffered in daily life. They threw the tools in their hands on the ground and moved closer to Qian Zhi, who joined the army in Lanzhou.
Many river workers felt aggrieved when they heard that these government soldiers had only been working for more than ten days, and even called them mud-legged people. The crowd was so angry that they stopped these government soldiers very unconvincingly.
"What are you noble soldiers about? Without our river workers, the Yellow River water rushes to Lanzhou. Do you think you can live a peaceful life? Speaking of which, you have to thank us."
"Thank you sir!"
At this moment, a famous soldier was furious: "That's him. He said that our soldiers are all uncles. He also said that our soldiers can't do their job as river workers. Beat me!"
"Just fight, no matter who you are afraid of!"
The two started fighting as soon as they disagreed, regardless of the rushing Yellow River water beside them and the heavy rain that never stopped.
As more and more people joined in, the entire Lanzhou Embankment became a chaotic battle, with people fighting in the muddy water everywhere. When a river worker saw that something was not going well, he hurried to Jingzhiyi to report it.
After hearing the news, Jingzhi hurried to the scene of the incident. By this time, the two sides were already fighting, and many people had been injured.
"Stop it all!"
His heart was bleeding. Seeing that the Yellow River was in serious trouble, these guys actually still had conflicts in their minds. If the dam broke, everyone would die here.
Unfortunately, in the chaos of the battle, no one would hear what he was shouting. There was no way, so Jing Zhiyi could only stop everyone one by one. By the time these people saw clearly that it was Mr. Jing, half an hour had already passed.
The leader, Qian Zhi, who joined the army, had already won the prize. He said angrily: "Sir, I respect you because I am from a state to give you face, but the brothers are all soldiers of the government after all. Ask these brothers, who among them has not experienced these things?"
River workers’ grievances?”
"That is, these river workers have low status and dare to use the power of Lord Jing to yell at us. Who can bear this? And with all due respect, I have already learned these petty tricks of river workers. Even if we don't use river workers, brothers can do it.
Hold the dike!"
Hearing this, Jingzhiyi was furious.
"presumptuous!"
The arrogance shocked everyone present, and everyone felt Jing Zhiyi's anger.
"A big trouble is ahead. Instead of uniting and forging ahead, you are making a mess here. If the Lanzhou dam breaks, how can you have the face to meet the folks in Lanzhou?"
"Especially you, Qian Zhi," he said angrily: "As a court official, you should know that His Majesty proposed that everyone is equal in the world as early as the Shili State Banquet. You gathered a crowd to cause trouble.
Do you still dare to talk shamelessly and belittle the river workers? In my opinion, the river workers have worked hard to protect the Yellow River for many years and made an indelible contribution to the peaceful life of the people of Lanzhou. And you enjoy the peace brought by the river workers, but you still look down on them? Let me ask you
, what is your intention?"
"What are my intentions?" Qian Zhizhi smiled back: "Sir, please speak with your conscience. In the past ten days, which of our brothers has not been fighting day and night? Without us, he would not be able to hold the Lanzhou embankment! But you and
Mr. Chen, however, acts in a biased manner and always takes the river workers as his leader. He has already lost the face of the imperial court, and we are not convinced!"
"Not convinced?" Jingzhi said: "The task of regulating the river cannot be achieved overnight. You are ignorant and ignorant, and you dare to speak arrogantly. These river workers have been immersed in the Yellow River for decades and already know the Yellow River well. I can only listen to them.
Only by making arrangements can the Yellow River be as safe as possible, do you understand?"
"I don't understand!" Qian Zhi kept doing nothing, and if he wanted to make a fuss, he would just make a fuss: "Isn't it just a big sweep and moving some rocks? The brothers can do these simple tasks better than them. I don't believe it.
Sir, please let me guard a section of the river embankment alone. If the dam breaks, I will come to see you."
"this……"
As soon as Jingzhi knew that the pressure of official rank alone could not suppress these soldiers, he turned his attention to the river worker Wang Heng, and Wang Heng instantly understood what he meant.
He cupped his hands and said: "My lord, all the brothers in the government have worked with the brothers for more than half a month and have already mastered a lot of river engineering skills. The common people think that it is okay to guard a section of the river embankment alone as Master Qian said."
After he finished speaking, he quietly whispered: "Sir, the wrath of the government soldiers must not be unjust. Let them guard a section of the river embankment first, so that the common people can keep an eye on it."
"That's all."
When Jingzhi saw Wang Heng's plan, he stared at Qian Zhi and shouted coldly: "Then I will give you a section of the river embankment to guard alone. If there is an accident, Qian Zhi will come to see me."
"Why not?" Qian Zhi was confident that there would be no problem in leading his troops to guard the embankment, and he wholeheartedly agreed to Jing Zhiyi's request.
Fortunately, Wang Heng was smart and knew that although these soldiers could help with the attack, they knew nothing about the river embankment, so he chose the safest location for them. As long as they were a little more serious, there would basically be no major problems.
After the soldiers had gone away, Jingzhiyi bowed to the many river workers again.
"I'm sorry, it's Lanzhou Prefecture's incompetent military leadership that has made everyone feel wronged. Please don't take it to heart and continue to guard Lanzhou's dam. When the floods pass, I will ask the court to reward you."
He Gong's mood also relaxed at this time, and they waved their hands again and again: "Master Jing is joking. How can it be Master Jing's fault that the soldiers are high-spirited? We don't need awards. We only hope that the Yellow River will be safe and peaceful, and we will have nothing to ask for."
Jing Zhiyi: "In that case, I will work with everyone to overcome the difficulties!"
"I am willing to work with you to overcome the difficulties together!"
A biting wind blew through everyone. Kappa Jiang Yusheng felt the strange smell in the wind. Regardless of the muddy road caused by the heavy rain, he came to the edge of the Yellow River, tied a rope to his body, and walked towards the Yellow River step by step.
The surging river water stirred up huge waves, like a tiger that could eat people at any time. It roared and attacked every inch of the river bank. The kappa cautiously approached the tiger and was a little excited when he found that there was more water and sediment.
.
At this moment, a huge wave came over. Jiang Yusheng was unable to dodge and was hit by the big wave. His feet slipped and he was swept into the Yellow River by the big wave. If it were not for the rope pulling him, he would have been buried at the bottom of the river.
"careful."
Wang Heng reacted the fastest. When the huge wave first came, he led people to run to Jiang Yusheng's position. They pulled him out of the Yellow River in a few seconds. It took a lot of effort to get him to stand on the embankment again.
.
On the one hand, Jingzhi blamed him, but actually he felt a little distressed: "What are you doing? You dare to go down the Yellow River when it is so dangerous, are you risking your life?"
Jiang Yusheng's face turned even worse than everyone imagined.
"It's coming."
None of the river workers knew what he wanted to express. Only Jingzhi understood it instantly.
The super flood peak that they have been holding on to for so long and have been preparing to deal with will soon arrive.
