In a blink of an eye, the soldier came to Wang Kechen's guard of honor, dismounted and said: "Urgent report from the capital water supervisor! The river will break through the mouth of Huzikou and enter the lake at noon tomorrow. Yuncheng, Liangshan, Yunzhou, Yanggu, Acheng, and Chiping need to be done well.

Prepare for the response, immediately evacuate people to higher ground, and handle the flood situation in accordance with the once-in-70-year plan!"

"What?!" Wang Kechen was shocked: "How could they predict so accurately? Report it to me!"

After reading it at a glance, the general judge couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Ming Gong is wise! A year's hard work has not been in vain. Yunzhou will make great achievements this time!"

"Shut up!" Wang Kechen looked at the judge angrily, shaking the official document in his hand: "How dare they take the initiative to break the dike! The states and counties along the way will be in disaster! How dare they? How dare they?! I want to impeach you in a chapter

This bunch of rubbish!!”

The soldier's face was expressionless: "Prefect, you have less than one day to prepare."

Wang Kechen stamped his feet and said to the general judge: "Call the bell of King Yu! Call the state army and send the government officials to the four villages and concentrate them in high places according to the plan."

"Ding Li gathered along the corridor. You rush to Wang Lingxi. I will go up to the outer embankment of the city."

The general judge handed over his hand: "Ming Gong, Wang Lingxi is located on a higher ground, so Ming Gong should guard it. Leave this place to me!"

Wang Kechen has already begun to mount his horse: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Tongjian bowed: "Yes!"

Although he had just been scolded by Wang Kechen so badly, at this moment in Tongpan's heart, Master Ming Gong was as great as a god!

In the past year, Yunzhou City has built a complete embankment around the lake, built corridors, moved the city walls, and prepared a large amount of cement, wood, sacks...

There are also food, medicine...

Over the past year, Wang Kechen accomplished all this despite the strong interference from the gentry.

And now, the flood is really coming!

The bronze bells in King Yu's palace behind the embankment began to ring, and a brief chaos began to appear in the city. Immediately after the city gate opened, countless state troops, including the forbidden troops, and the people began to rush to their respective posts.

In addition to organizing factory protection teams, the owners of various factories also mobilized manpower to assist the lake embankment.

People from various counties and townships, led by the county captains, set off along the newly built corridor towards the pre-set retreat high ground.

…

After hours of running around, the No. 3 artillery squad and the science and engineering team finally arrived at Huzikou in the evening.

Two and a half small things, to complete a hundred and fifty miles of running, not only the horse is exhausted, but also the man is almost exhausted.

Chen Zhaoming rolled off his horse, and Wang Junwan stepped forward and asked, "Bachelor, are you okay?"

Chen Zhaoming glanced around: "Is this the Xuanfang Hall?"

Wang Junwan glanced at the embankment: "This is what the military map says, but there is no palace..."

Chen Zhaoming looked at the flat embankment: "Every year we defend it, we don't even know how much the embankment has been raised..."

A voice shouted on the embankment: "Brother Jun Wan, we found it! There is the old temple foundation here!"

The old palace is now gone. Over the past thousands of years, the Yellow River embankment has been continuously raised, and this place, which announced the great achievements of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, has become a part of the embankment.

Zhong Pu came over with a big clock in his arms: "Shan Chief, what should we do?"

Chen Zhaoming said: "First survey the bottom to see if there are old canals and rivers that can be connected to the Huzi River."

A group of people rushed over: "Who is here? It's dangerous here, get out of here! Ah? Why are you here, Dou Jiancheng?"

The Song Dynasty was a strange cycle. The emperor was afraid of officials, officials were afraid of the common people, the common people were afraid of subordinate officials, subordinate officials were afraid of middle-ranking officials, and middle-ranking officials were afraid of the emperor.

Therefore, it is most appropriate for Dou Shi to take action at this stage.

The person guarding this place was also a lieutenant named Chen Xiu, whose rank was who knows how much lower than Dou Shi, the lieutenant appointed by the emperor himself.

Dou Shi was too lazy to be polite to him: "Chen Patrol, immediately sent people to notify the officials and people along the lower reaches of the Huzi River to evacuate to higher ground."

Chen Xiu fell to his knees and said, "Captain, Xiaguan has always done his duty faithfully. The Yellow River will not break through Xiaguan."

Dou Shi helped him up: "It has nothing to do with you. We are going to open a canal here to divert the water and alleviate the flood control pressure in Caocunxiang downstream."

"It's impossible..." Chen Xiu turned pale with fright: "Since ancient times, we have never heard of breaking the embankment to divert floods. If we can't control it and the disaster of the Han Dynasty is repeated, it will be the disaster of annihilating the nine tribes!"

Dou Shi smiled bitterly and said: "The fourth flood peak has passed Ji County. This flood is so fierce that if the flood is not diverted, several large dams in Cao Village downstream will be destroyed, and the disaster will be even more serious."

Chen Xiu was dumbfounded: "Who said that?"

"That's what Chen Shanchang said."

Chen Xiu shut up.

Chen Shanchang said that the earth is round, and the earth is really round; Chen Shanchang said that the five stars revolve around the sun, and the five stars really revolve around the sun.

Among the senior leaders of science and engineering, Chen Shanchang is a demigod who follows what he says and follows the rules. A group of elites below are perfecting the model.

And even the group of people who do calculations for Shanchang Chen are already beings that Chen Xiu needs to look up to.

After thinking for a while: "It's not easy to make the levee burst, right?"

Chen Zhaoming opened the map: "Our plan is very simple. When the flood peak passes through, we will blow up the breach and start diversion."

"But the amount of water diverted from the flood needs to be controlled, and when the peak of the flood passes, the breach needs to be closed again."

"Therefore, the size and timing of the breach here are key."

Chen Xiu was stunned for a moment: "Isn't the key to the embankment and manpower? I don't know if it will be too late..."

Chen Zhaoming said: "You don't have to worry about the patrol. What you have to do is to organize the people and supplies to prepare for the follow-up Helong Embankment. Also, you are familiar with the topography and water conditions in this area. Where is the best place to open your mouth?"

Chen Xiu was extremely familiar with his defense zone. He pointed at the map and said: "Here! It's just two miles upstream. There are still construction materials piled there. My original intention was to take advantage of this period to make final reinforcements. This is also within the defense zone.

The weakest point."

Chen Zhaoming drew a line based on the contour lines on the map: "After the river breaks, the water will flow down like this. Chen Xunfang and Dou Jiancheng, please go and take a look."

Dou Shi nodded: "Let's go."

Coming to the upper reaches, there are a lot of materials, cement prefabricated parts, and sandbags piled here. There are also several flat-bottomed boats moored under the embankment, and the boats are equipped with bamboo and stone cages.

An old river worker came up, his face was swarthy, his face was covered with wrinkles caused by the river wind, and there were tears in his eyes: "Several officials, I heard that the boys said that the embankment was going to be demolished? We worked hard for a year to complete the embankment.

It was fixed, why are we tearing it down now? Below the embankment are the homes of the villagers, but we can’t do that..."

Chen Xiu said angrily: "Old Guo Tou, this is Bachelor Jingrun who came from the imperial court. He is the number one person in astronomical calculations in the world. There is no need to collide with him!"

Chen Zhaoming waved his hand and helped old Jia Tou up: "The old man seems to be an old river worker. Were you the one who prepared those stone boats outside the embankment?"

Old Jia Tou said: "I want to be prepared for any disaster. This is inherited from our ancestors in managing the river. If there is a breach, we will sink the stone boat. This is how our ancestors blocked the breach that was five feet deep."

Chen Zhaoming nodded: "If the old man is here, we will be more confident. Patrol and quickly organize manpower to transport supplies. Old man, come and see."

He took Lao Guotou and walked to the supervisor's small shed and unfolded the map: "The peak of the flood will pass here in two hours, and the waterline will be six feet higher than it is now."

Old Guo Tou was also an old river worker. He was so frightened that he sat down on the ground: "We can't hold on any longer...Cao Village...Cao Village is over...our year's hard work...is over..."

Chen Zhaoming shook his head: "No, there is still hope! As long as we can lower the position of the flood peak waterline..."

"Five feet! Oh no, two feet! Five feet was needed last year, but this year, two feet lower is enough!" Lao Guotou suddenly understood.

Chen Zhaoming slapped the table: "Yes, so we have to separate the two feet that must be lowered from here!"
Chapter completed!
