The plan was settled, and Xue Xiang did not dare to delay any longer. He went up the south slope with Fang Laoshi first, then summoned the two to three hundred young people on the slope and held a short meeting. Of course, it was said to be a meeting, but it was actually Xue Xiang's assignment.
At the moment, he arranged for everyone to divide into three groups. The first group went back to the village to organize people to tie ropes; the second group
Road, go to the countryside and report the news to the county. Although Xue Xiang believes that the idea of blowing up the dike this time came from two top figures in the county, he also believes that now that blowing up the dike has become a luxury, the gang
How dare people just sit back and watch; on the third route, they gathered their strength, formed sandbags, and started filling the earth.
After Xue Xiang made arrangements, the two to three hundred people were divided into three groups and dispersed. After all, the young men in Qiaokou Village knew exactly what the situation was, and they were fighting to defend their homeland.
Naturally, everyone strives to be first and works hard.
But it was said that two to three hundred people went back to organize rope-tying and rushed to the countryside. Only about twenty people from the county reported the news, and most of the rest went back to pick up shovels and started digging in the sandy field under the embankment.
Less than half an hour passed when two to three hundred young people from the neighboring village of Ligang Village rushed over carrying baskets to resist the bridge. Because Xue Xiang had told Fang Laoshi and others not to leak the news about the embankment explosion,
Therefore, these young men from Ligang Village only heard that the dam was about to burst, so they gathered together and hurried over. After all, few people in Ma Tou Township didn't know what the water potential was in Laoguankou.
With the addition of these two to three hundred young men, the digging speed was much faster. These five or six hundred people gathered together. After working for a short time, dozens of people in uniforms rushed over. They were militiamen from the militia brigade.
.They heard that the dam was about to burst, and they hurried over to help.
Speaking of which, although this group of militiamen usually do evil things and even treat the villagers like they did in Qiaokou Village, they still have a bit of military sentiment in their hearts. If they are allowed to fight with guns, they may not go to the front line.
People can run away without a trace. But when it comes to flood fighting and emergency rescue, digging and filling, these people are definitely at the forefront. They don't even need to shout.
What do you mean? It turns out that in peacetime, even the regular army could not find the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, let alone these amateur troops. Now they have finally caught up with the good thing of building embankments and taking the lead. Who wants to lag behind? After all, everyone
After an incident like this, those who participated in the war, especially those who were related to soldiers, would automatically be rewarded for their meritorious service.
Besides, the members of the militia brigade didn’t know anything about the embankment explosion. They only knew that they were ordered by the Ministry of Armed Forces to enforce martial law. Otherwise, Gundam wouldn’t have worked so hard to light these dozen fuses alone.
If you ask for it, wouldn't it be easier to just ask a dozen people to order one each? Of course, the militiamen don't know about the embankment bombing, but that's normal. After all, it's such a secret, and matters of great importance are naturally kept confidential.
In fact, this is indeed the case. To put it into detail, there are only six people in Xiaoshan County who know for sure about the embankment explosion, namely Wei Qiming, Yu Dingzhong, Song Yuntong, Gao Gao. In addition, Kong Erling and Yan Monk, even Mao
Youcai didn't know about it either. That's why Mao Youcai was at a loss when he told Wei Qiming that day, "The Finance Bureau will soon be flowing with gold and silver."
In fact, this whole thing was just a tacit agreement between Wei Qiming and Yu Dingzhong. Of course, these two people would not be stupid enough to sit together and discuss how to blow up the embankment. After all, such a tacit understanding
, whoever says it is stupid. To put it into detail, these two people even "exploded"
"The words were never uttered. It was just by chance that one day, Wei Qiming and Yu Dingzhong met in the cafeteria. Yu Dingzhong handed over a copy of the news newspaper that received special subsidies from the province after the fire in Jinshan County, a neighboring county, destroyed the granary. What happened next was Wei Qiming's death.
Qi Ming infiltrated Song Yuntong, and Song Yuntong directed Gundam to personally handle it.
The reason why Kong Erleng and Yan Monk knew this was because, firstly, Gundam needed these two to perform a horror show and make it reasonable for the militia to impose martial law on Qiaokou Village; secondly, to plant explosives and set up a warning embankment, it was not Gundam's
It could be done by one person, so I simply didn’t bother the two masters and dragged Kong Erling and Monk Yan to participate together.
Because Gundam had absolute confidence, the two men would not and did not dare to reveal the truth. After martial law was imposed on Qiaokou Village, the Xiaoshan County Party Committee held a briefing meeting. At the meeting, they only repeatedly emphasized the financial crisis and briefly talked about Jinshan County.
Regarding the fire in the granary, we asked for fire prevention and disaster prevention. After mentioning the serious situation in Qiaokou Village, we broke up for a while.
Who among the three who can get into the Standing Committee is a fool? There is a special meeting of the Standing Committee to discuss the three unrelated things. The meaning of this is self-evident.
Of course, this briefing meeting was also held before Xue Xiang arrived, and then there was a scene where Fang Laoshi led the villagers to break through the warning and go to the outskirts of the county to kowtow. It turned out that the villagers in Qiaokou Village had already discovered Gao Da and Kong Erlen.
The story about Monk Yan drilling holes in the embankment.
It was precisely because of these many twists and turns that Xue Xiang asked for leave. Yu Dingzhong and Wei Qiming welcomed him eagerly and hurriedly approved it, fearing that Xue would cause trouble at this time. But who could have imagined it?
I was afraid, but in the end, Xue Xiang was messed up.

, about Monk Yan drilling holes in the embankment.

Afraid of everything,
In the end, Xue Xiang was still the one who made a mess. At this moment, Xue Xiang naturally had no intention of thinking about what would happen if he messed up other people's good things. At this moment, he stood on the embankment, his mind completely occupied by the vast autumn water.
and dissociation
The broken embankment is pulling them. Because the long rope has not been tied yet, the number of young people digging and filling in the sand field under the embankment has increased to nearly 800. If the embankment suddenly breaks, he will be like a dragon when it encounters the water.
Guaranteed no harm
, but I am afraid that not a few of the more than 800 young men will survive. As a result, the Xiaoshan County bosses who were originally unhappy with Xue for ruining his good deeds promised to bomb him indiscriminately.
Someone exploded into the Nine Nether Abyss!
Xue Xiang kept staring at the cracks in the embankment, almost pressing his eyes to the ground. Fortunately, Fang Laoshi did not lie. Although the embankment had a gap, it would not collapse for a while, because the cracks on the embankment had already
It stopped and there was no sign of expansion.
"County Magistrate Xue, Magistrate Xue, the knot is done, the knot is done!"
Xue Xiang was lying on his stomach observing the cracks when a dozen people suddenly rushed over on the south slope. These ten people were beaten with crosses on their shoulders. On the shelf, they faced a cable group about seven or eight meters high and more than ten feet wide. Looking from a distance.
Go, as if holding a huge dark cloud.
After bringing the cable, this life-saving thing, Xue Xiang did not dare to delay any longer. He gathered more than thirty people and began to walk, set up the rope, and tie the rope. The cable was more than 3,000 meters long. It took half an hour to roll out the rope.
Then, the two ends were tied between the two peaks, and two large trees were found and nailed to death. In this way, a rope of life was completed.
At this time, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only a few hours before dark. Xue Xiang called on Fang Laoshi and Gao Shanghao, the head of Qiaokou Village, to hurry back to the village to prepare dry food and torches. Here, Gao and Gao were going
, the people who went to report the message turned back. This time, the people who came back were not the dozen or so people who reported the message, but the two or three hundred people who came back.
Among the two or three hundred people, the leader was a tall, thin man with a red face. He shouted to Xue Xiang from a distance: "County Magistrate Xue, I am Feng Kaishan, I'm sorry... I happened to be here when you came to the village.
Organize comrades..."
At this moment, Xue Xiang was not in the mood to pursue these details with him. He waved his hand and interrupted, saying: "Okay. Comrade Kaishan, it is important to rescue the levee. I don't need to say more about the situation in front of you. You can see it. Nonsense, let's just do it."
Forget it, I suggest setting up a temporary embankment flood control command center. I will serve as the commander-in-chief, you will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief, and all members of the Ma Tou Township Party Committee will join the command center..."
Xue Xiang is arbitrarily arranging positions for himself. This is not because he is addicted to officialdom. In fact, he is well aware of the principle of "If the name is not correct, then the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not smooth, then the things will not be accomplished." To put it in detail, he Xue Xiang
Although someone is the leader of the county party committee or the deputy county magistrate, he can go to a specific township or town and say
The strength of his words is naturally not as strong as those of these local snakes. Furthermore, as the deputy county magistrate, he is only in charge of finance. In terms of actual power and responsibilities, he has no reporting relationship with Feng Kaishan. At present, Xue Xiang is using embankments to prevent floods.
The so-called command center is precisely to clarify the reporting relationship.
Xue Xiangdu spoke and issued an order in front of many people. Feng Kaishan frowned slightly and agreed. After all, Xue Xiang was not an ordinary deputy county magistrate, but a member of the Standing Committee of the county committee.
If an ordinary deputy county magistrate uses this excuse to bring Feng Kaishan under his command, he will be the core leader of the management. Feng Kaishan will be embarrassed if he can't protect him!
In fact, at this moment, Feng Kaishan was also full of doubts. Because the investigation he led his team members on today was not at all his planned schedule. Instead, he received a call early in the morning asking him to do so. And
He led a group of township committee members who were equally baffled and spent the morning wandering around the most remote village of Haogou. Before he could return to his hometown, someone reported that the berm at Laoguankou was about to collapse.
Feng Kaishan knew very well the scale of the berm at Laoguankou, because he had personally participated in the construction of the embankment and was well aware of the materials used and its sturdiness.
"Why is it suddenly about to collapse now, and it happens to collapse when County Magistrate Xue comes down, and he has to lead people to avoid it. With so many coincidences, can it be called a coincidence?" Feng Kaishan's journey
They were all thinking about the connection between this series of events, but they didn't figure it out in the end.
But right now, it is no longer important to think things through. What is important is to preserve the old Guankou berm. After all, if the berm collapses, the tens of thousands of acres of farmland in the villages under the embankment may not be the only ones to suffer. Looking at the current weather, it is rainy.
Mianmian, I don't know how long the rain will last, and it may affect the entire Ma Tou Township. If Ma Tou Township is flooded, he, the acting secretary, will be the first to suffer.
After thinking about this, Feng Kaishan naturally had no objections to Xue Xiang's establishment of the Lao Shizi command center. After Xue Xiang finished speaking, he guided a group of Ma Tou Township party committee members and Xue Xiang to make a brief introduction.
At this moment, no matter how impatient Xue Xiang is, he still has to get acquainted with the temporarily sheltered men. Fortunately, all the members of the Ma Tou Township Party Committee also know what the current situation is, and they all know each other by name and simply say hello.
, it didn’t take more than a few minutes.
After the temporary command center was established, Xue Xiang did not waste any time and began to issue orders immediately, even skipping a brief meeting. He ordered Feng Kaishan to join the township party committee organization member Xia Ping and lead his people to collect the woven bags. Chen Kun, deputy secretary of the town committee,
, Deputy Town Mayor Wang Mingliang went to take charge of logistics supply, and the remaining four town committee members
Then Xue Xiang was assigned as the captain of the excavation team, each leading hundreds of people, and they started digging desperately under the embankment. Everyone knew that the situation was critical, and everyone was working hard and working hard, even when it was dark.
, four huge earthwork piles appeared under the berm, which was more than enough to fill thousands of woven bags.
Not long after the earth excavation was completed, Feng Kaishan led a large force to arrive. On the south slope were thirty or fifty wheelbarrows, packed with woven bags. As soon as the group was about to drive up the berm, Xue Xiang shouted at them to stop them.
Live nearby and make arrangements
I honestly organized my manpower and went to carry the woven bags. As soon as the thousands of woven bags were transported to the earthwork, it was completely dark. Fortunately, the mayor of Qiaokou Village, Gao Shang, had already brought lighting torches.
, and framed steamed buns.
Thousands of people were immediately divided into two groups by Xue Xiang, one group was bagging, and the other group was eating. Those who were bagging were sweating profusely, and those who were eating were gobbling up the food. Some even just took a steamed bun in their mouth and started working hard.
.
At that time, night fell, the wind was strong and the waves were surging. Xue Xiang was biting half of the steamed bun in his mouth, but he couldn't swallow it. After careful calculation, he had been busy from early morning to now, and Shuimi had not beaten his teeth, but Xue Xiang
Anxiety
He just had no appetite at all. He was holding a water bottle and pouring water into his mouth. He finally soaked the steamed buns in his mouth until he softened them. After swallowing them, he could faintly notice that the berm under his feet was shaking slightly.
In shock, Xue Xiang immediately threw away the kettle and shouted: "Hurry up and pack the bags, hurry up and pack the bags, the old people and children delivering food, hurry up the south slope, go up the south slope!"
Xue Xiang shouted loudly, and the sound carried hundreds of meters. In an instant, the place was full of people eating or busy, and the operation started according to Xue Xiang's instructions.
"Mr.
Fang Laoshi had been standing with Xue Xiang since the dry food was delivered. Naturally, he noticed the movement on the embankment and offered words of advice.
Xue Xiang said anxiously: "Old Fang, tell me the truth, we, thousands of men, can't even repair these two holes? I asked Lao Gao about the water level here, and it's only seven or eight meters deep.
If you put 10,000 bags of sand and soil, will it still be filled up?”
Fang LaoShi said: "Mr.
Even though it was hit twice and a big hole was created, the embankment is still solid and can withstand it for ten years. But now, after being hit by that
Two big holes can't just be filled up like this. The holes inside are shaken, and it's unclear what they will look like. Therefore, it seems that the embankment only needs to guard the positions of these two holes, but in fact
The entire embankment has become a hidden danger. We are scattered on this three or four-mile long embankment, and the rows are not full. How can we protect it?"
After Fang Laoshi's words, Xue Xiang's heart dropped. He, a layman in water conservancy, now realized that he had made things simple. When he was in despair, he suddenly said: "Old Fang, since there is no possibility of holding on,
Why didn't you tell me earlier and still let everyone go through such trouble?" Xue Xiang discovered the contradiction.
Indeed, if it was really hopeless, why didn't Lao Fang tell him earlier and let thousands of people work for hours digging out so many mounds of earth? Could it be that he wanted to watch the fun?
Sure enough, after Xue Xiang asked, Lao Fang remained silent for a long time before he raised his head and said: "County Magistrate Xue, it is not impossible to save the levee, but, just..."
"Don't bother with me, you've already been here, and you're still playing tricks on me?" Xue Xiang slapped Fang Laoshi on the shoulder, scowling. He was really annoyed at the moment, he didn't expect such an honest Zhuang.
The farmer also played tricks on himself and gave himself a ladder to go up to the house. Besides, he, Mr. Xue, had no intention of coming down from the house. It was really depressing to be plotted like this. (To be continued...
