Thunder rumbles and the mountain wind rises again.
The abnormal weather put a heavy burden on the hearts of everyone who was originally happy. They didn't know when it would rain again. They only knew that if it rained again, they didn't know what kind of danger would happen to the Yellow River.
There is no room for failure at the critical moment of the No. 1 breach.
"Down!"
As the gabion slowly fell, the moment it touched the water flow, the entire gabion was swinging violently. The strong momentum of the water flow pushed the gabion away. If the ropes on the wooden frame were not firmly controlled, the gabion would have been destroyed.
Washed away by the current!
The soldiers pulling the rope felt a sudden increase in strength in their hands, which was the pressure brought to them by the impact of the water flow. It was this pressure that almost pulled the soldiers pulling the rope away.
Some soldiers sensed something strange immediately and quickly shouted: "Come and help."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qin Huaidao immediately rushed forward, grabbed the tail end of the rope and tied it around his waist, holding on to the rope tightly, thus preventing the soldiers from being washed away by the current.
It was not until nearby soldiers came to help that the gabion was stabilized again.
At this time, Qin Huaidao saw Luo Wu who was guarding the sweep nearby, and suddenly shouted at him: "Luo Wu, go to the sweep and lower the flow speed!"
Luo Wu's whole body was shaken, and he immediately realized what Qin Huaidao meant at this moment. The gabion could not withstand the impact of the water flowing under the final gap, so he had to do a big sweep first.
He took the lead and grabbed the big broom and commanded the nearby soldiers: "Come here, follow me and send the big broom up the inclined dam!"
Following his order, dozens of soldiers held the big sweep with him and ran towards the breach step by step. The moment the big sweep entered the river, most of the pressure was transferred to the big sweep. Luo Wu led these soldiers to death.
Grab the big sweep and look around carefully.
If they are not careful, these people will be swept into the river. Judging from the current situation, they will definitely die if they are swept into the river.
Seeing Luo Wu's support, Qin Huaidao no longer hesitated.
"put."
With the loosening of the ropes, the huge gabion was finally successfully placed in the final breach. As the gabion was lowered, the pressure on the entire breach was immediately relieved, and the pressure on Luo Wu and others was also reduced a lot.
"Get in the sack!"
As Qin Huaidao's order was issued, the sacks that had been filled with sand and gravel that had been pushed on both sides were thrown into the breach one by one by these soldiers, constantly consolidating the blocked breach, until the flow of water in the No. 1 dam broke was greatly slowed down, and there was no way to the rear.
threaten.
It was only at this moment that Qin Huaidao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luo Wu, arrange for a few people to compile a manual on how to fill the dam and immediately distribute it to all places in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, so that the state and provincial governments can use it as a guide for governance."
All the soldiers looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
Is this considered blocked?
"Great, we defeated the flood and blocked the No. 1 breach. Long live the great man and long live your Majesty!"
"Long live the great man, long live your Majesty!"
Seeing the high morale of the generals, Qin Huaidao climbed up and shouted: "Everyone, the No. 1 breach has been blocked, which proves that the flood is not terrible, and the breach is not terrible. Facing them, as long as everyone has the determination to move forward, the flood will be completely eliminated!"
"
"The people behind you are waiting for you, and the land behind you is waiting for you. I will work with you to overcome the flood and return to Chang'an to congratulate you together."
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "As your Majesty wishes."
"Okay," Qin Huaidao said: "There are still more than a dozen breaches in Sanmenxia. Let's spread out and work at the same time. We must deal with these breaches before the heavy rain comes. Act now!"
"promise."
After being dispatched by Qin Huaidao, he and Luo Wu each led a team, and two close associates each led a team, and ran towards the breach elsewhere in Sanmenxia.
Regarding the methods and drawings of river control, Qin Huaidao's army always required his subordinates to read and write when practicing martial arts on weekdays. It was not difficult to find someone who could complete this task. In less than two hours, there were a large number of drawings.
Leaving Sanmenxia, it not only runs towards the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but also towards Chang'an.
He needed to borrow the power of Chang'an to send the river control strategy to the Yangtze River area, where the dangers were no easier than those on the Yellow River.
With the previous experience, Qin Huaidao led the garrison to block the breach much more easily. As more gabions were put into the breach, another breach was blocked. After sweeping, Qin Huaidao ordered people to knock down the wood again.
pile to ensure it is secure.
After plugging the breach, they cannot leave it alone. They also need to send people to fill it with yellow mud to ensure that no water flows out again. For them, these projects are no easier than placing gabions before.
Mengjin section.
When Chen Wang arrived here, floods were raging everywhere. The villages were submerged by the floods. The corpses of cattle and sheep were floating in the water. There were washed-down branches, wooden doors, and clothing everywhere. There were almost no living people in sight.
.
"Were these people swallowed by the flood, or did they flee to nowhere?" Chen Wang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the flood in front of him that was like a vast ocean.
The flood has reached such a level that even after it recedes, the debris and silt washed down by the river will still affect this place. It will take many years and months to remove all of it and restore the previous scene.
"Let's take action according to the law formulated by His Majesty before." Chen Wang sighed and ordered everyone to act according to the established plan.
Xin'an is closer than Mengjin, but Li Chunfeng's movements are much slower than Chen Wang's.
At this time, he was confronting some local people in Xin'an who had not fled.
One of the older men was the leader of these people. He firmly stopped Li Chunfeng and refused to let him go: "You outsiders don't understand this place. It is precisely because you disrespect the mountain gods and indiscriminately cut down trees in the mountains that you attract the gods."
I’ll punish you and I won’t let you pass from now on!”
Li Chunfeng frowned and hesitated when looking at these villagers.
They were already pitiful people who suffered from the flood. If force was used, if they were too excited and threw themselves into the river to show their determination, wouldn't they themselves become sinners?
The Jin Yiwei who came with him had no such concerns.
A guard in Jinyi stepped forward and persuaded: "Old man, His Majesty ordered us to come here to help everyone block the flood. Don't worry, we can keep everyone safe. We just need to use the rocks and trees on the mountain to make gabions.
Sweep the wooden stakes, please cooperate."
"Look," the old man suddenly roared: "Ignorant disrespecters, you have been polluted by darkness. Even if you disrespect the mountain god, do you dare to touch the mountain god again? Everyone, please follow me to atone for your sins from the mountain god, otherwise God will punish you all.
Everyone will die here."
After that, he led these ignorant villagers to kneel down in the direction of the mountain.
"Great Mountain God, please forgive the sins of ignorant people like us. All sins are committed by these outsiders. We are your devout believers. Please bless us and keep us safe."
Li Chunfeng's eyes narrowed and he snorted coldly: "Huh, are you playing with me like this?"
