Chapter 114: A hundred meters of Qinhuai

The shocking lightning is like an arrow, and the muffled thunder is like a drum!

I didn't feel it in the house just now, and I didn't feel it when I was in a hurry, but now everyone started to rush in the wild, and then I felt that the thunder was shocking, the lightning was dazzling, and the rain was even more annoying.

But no one dares to speak at this moment. King An is in front of him and rushes to the front, and no one dares to complain at all. Even if you feel uncomfortable, you must be stuck in your stomach and want to vent? What you will have is a strength to choose for you: chop trees and stake soil and put bags. These things are all physical tasks. If you want to vent, use your strength to do it. If you do it well, maybe you can still be attracted by King An. If you get a few praises, you will be developed.

But the road was soaked in the rain for two hours. Although there was not much water accumulation, there were some potholes, the loess road surface was really too slippery. Since we were going to hurry up, we took a quick step. The guards and soldiers were better, with steady steps and steady steps; but like Tan Zong and the staff of the Works Department, they were all unstable, and falling became common.

When everyone arrived at the unfinished river embankment that Han Li said, Tan Zong was already covered in mud marks, even if there was mud on his face and hair, he could not wash off even if there was rain pouring on the sky.

"Han Li, that's it?" Zhao Yunan stood under the river embankment - he wanted to go up, but Yue Feiyun naturally refused to accept the order of General Zhao. He looked around and felt that it was good to break ground here.

Although there are no towering trees around, there are many wild fir trees with thick arms slightly farther away, even the bowls are a little thicker. If the situation is urgent, there are still some weeping willows cultivated along the banks of the river bank - although it is a little thinner, but if the piles are tighter, it can be useful. As for the soil, there is naturally no shortage. The river bank is facing back to the back of the river bank, and the soil is simply a request, so there is no need to worry about using it.

Of course, to be honest, it is definitely better to have sandbags, but this place does not have the conditions and can only be filled with soil.

This is naturally a good place that the Old General Zhao specially allocated for Zhao Yun'an - no matter how Zhao Yun'an sets an example to warn others, how to lead by example to improve morale, and the taboo that can be risky is the most important. Therefore, the most staff are arranged for Zhao Yun'an, and the safest place to choose for Zhao Yun'an, and even if the dike is really broken, the construction difficulty is also the easiest.

Han Li had already stepped onto the river bank first, but the rain was too heavy, so he didn't dare to stand up straight, only lying on the ground with his butt sticking out. Fortunately, even King An had become a slaughter, and no one would laugh at him for his behavior of being rude and lacking in education.

He stretched out his head and looked around. The first thing that came into Han Li's eyes was the water level line that was only about a foot away. The surging Qinhuai River water occasionally shot at the two sides of the straits under the strong wind. It was really similar to the "shocking waves hit the shore and rolled up thousands of snow" mentioned in Long Junshi's lyrics. The splashes of water could even hit Han Li's face directly.

The Qinhuai River embankment has been built quite low, nearly two meters, which is nearly one meter higher than the two sides of the Qinhuai River. By doing this, the water level of the Qinhuai River has soared by nearly one meter. I think there is a water flowing down in the upstream, otherwise it would not have risen to this level.

However, the Qinhuai River is completely different from the Qinhuai River, which was thirty or forty meters wide that Tan Zong saw in later generations. The Nanjing Bridge spanning the two banks is 130 or forty meters wide. In this way, if the Qinhuai River really collapsed, in Dashunchao, which did not have heavy machinery, the water would probably not be so easy to block.

With a hundred thousand caution, Han Li said, "When he replied, "This is the place when he said to the prince. With the little man's body as a rope, the hidden danger ranges from one left and three places on the right."

Han Li mentioned here one and three on the right, which means one foot on the left and three feet on the right, with a total range of four feet. Tan Zong converted it into the mind and found that the distance was about one meter three.

Although Dashun Dynasty has already had many ideas to promote new units, it has been nearly a thousand years since the use of old-style units. It is really not easy to change them. It can only be slowly moved through decades of education. I will skip this gossip.

If you want to put it in normal times, this meter three is really nothing. But there is an old saying that a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole. Even an ant hole can still cause a thousand-mile long dike to become ulcerated. What if the breach of this meter three is broken? I am afraid that if the water stops, the entire river embankment around Nanjing City will be eroded.

What's more, given the current rainfall, if it falls for another half an hour, I am afraid that the water level will spread upwards. Or if there is a flood peak coming up in the upper reaches, the water level will directly overflow the river embankment. At the same time, even if there is a diversion of the Qinhuai River in the lower reaches, it is probably useless.

Having already determined the location, Zhao Yunan stopped talking and immediately ordered Yue Feiyun to act as planned. For a moment, everyone started to take action, including those who set up cowhide tents, those who cut down trees, those who dig soil, and those who fill sand. Around this hidden danger zone of 3 meters, the entire area instantly became a large construction site. Even Tan Zong was infected by the hot atmosphere, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to help him get on his hands. It was indeed a shortage of time now, otherwise it would be much better to dig a drainage channel.

Zhao Yunan pulled him and led him to a place where no one was around and said, "You go ahead and have a walk."

Tan Zong didn't care. In later generations, the leader would naturally not take action at this time. But the leader could not just sit there and watch, so he would naturally move around. On the one hand, it would be an encouragement and to signal everyone to "share the joys and sorrows with you"; on the other hand, it would be a warning, so that those who are lazy and treacherous should pay attention and not be caught by the leader.

However, after walking for a few minutes, Tan Zong felt something was wrong. Zhao Yunan was not walking around the construction site at all. To be precise, the circle that was only wandering around the construction site seemed to be deliberately made for people to see. The key is that the main thing is to walk to the river after leaving the construction site.

And Tan Zong himself was just giving everyone an illusion, telling others that someone was following King An, so no one else had to worry.

"Prince, this cannot be passed." Seeing that the two of them had already walked to the edge of the river embankment, and then walked forward to the river embankment, he quickly pulled Zhao Yunan: "Old General Zhao has given instructions and will never let you be too close to the river embankment."

"Save it off." Zhao Yunan shouted, then turned around with a serious look on his face: "I can't work with everyone, so it's good to use my brain power. The terrain here is the highest and the surrounding area is relatively empty, so it's most suitable to monitor the upstream. If there is a flood peak passing through the upstream, I can see it in advance here to give everyone a warning."

Tan Zong didn't believe it. Although he didn't know what Zhao Yunan wanted to do, it was the most convenient to refute this. He couldn't help but answer: "If you want to use your brain, go back there to preside over the work. Just let me go here. Anyway, I'm not a little bit of meat, and these heavy work is a burden."

Zhao Yunan was stunned at first, and a hint of anger flashed across his face: "Why do you all want me to wait!"

After hearing this, Tan Zong sighed secretly, and then he understood the idea of ​​this arrogant and noble prince. It turned out that he was just trying to do something. However, even so, how could Tan Zong allow the prince to stand at this moment? He didn't say anything, but said that although this place was a mound and the terrain was slightly higher, it would be the first to be the brunt once it collapsed. I was afraid that Jie Shi would have no way to escape, so he was a dead place.

Therefore, how could Tan Zong let Zhao Yunan fall into death and ignore him? Even if he agrees, he dared not. He could only greet two nearby soldiers, invited Zhao Yunan and sent him directly to a high ground behind. This was what Tan Zong thought of just now. If the dam was really broken, it would not be safe to flow down the water below. It would be better to find a high place to stay.

Although the rain was heavy like a piece of water curtain, Tan Zong could already feel the anger when Zhao Yunan left from a distance.

"The leaders from this 'Ideal Township' are hard to serve." Tan Zong stretched in the rain, but he leaned against the only fir tree on the mound.

Although the rain is so strong and strong winds help it - if a woman like Lianxiang is a light body, she may not be able to stand outside for a long time. She is like a rain rolling cloud, but when she gets used to it, she doesn't have much to do, but she just needs to wipe her face from time to time.

Although the rain is a little smaller now, it is also small and limited. At least the hail that occurred at the beginning has only fallen for a while, but it has disappeared at this moment - in fact, it is not uncommon for reports in summer rainstorms, especially in strong convective weather.

The terrain on Tan Zong's side was relatively high and his vision was wider, so he saw the entire construction site. At this moment, the sandbags had been filled a little, but no one dared to guarantee whether they were enough, so they were still filling them.

The people who cut trees and piled piles there were the most busy things. Fortunately, the wood of the fir trees was not solid. With the strength of the big men of the Blood Flag Army, it only took a few minutes to cut down one tree, so a large area was knocked down. The guards took their own knives and began to clean up the branches on their backs. These people had ropes tied to them. Because the rope was not long enough, the guards could only pull the other end of the rope, but they could not tie it to the original tree.

At this moment, Cheng Zhuang was holding a little bit in his hand, but he looked a little like a ruler from later generations. He was inserting it into the water, and it seemed to be measuring the water level, but he didn't know how long it was. However, after the ruler was inserted, several people ignored it. They just looked there, and stomped their feet from time to time, as if they were cold, they had to rely on this movement to warm their feet, which made Tan Zong feel very strange when he saw it.
