Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Thinking that he didn't wake up Li Shimin earlier, Wang De was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.

Not long after, Pei Ji, Du Ruhui, Wang Gui, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other ministers from the six departments of the three provinces all arrived.

"I am waiting to meet your Majesty."

The crowd saluted.

Curious what the hell happened.

You know, Li Shimin seldom calls them all together.

"The dam of the Yellow River has burst!"

Li Shimin's words instantly changed the color of everyone.

Everyone has known for a long time that there is a problem with the Yellow River dam, and they have already sent people to repair it.

But I never thought that the Yellow River dam, which had been repaired for several months, was not only not good, but it actually broke down like this? !

"Your Majesty, is the news conclusive?!"

Du Ruhui couldn't help coughing violently, his face was red from coughing.

The news was too shocking, but none of them received it, so they doubted the authenticity of the news.

"Du He and Changsun Chong jointly signed the letter and sent it back within eight hundred miles."

Li Shimin said solemnly.

Although he has not received the information yet.

But presumably children like Du He and Changsun Chong would not joke about such things

"That must be true!"

When Du Ruhui heard this, his heart sank.

It can't be faked, Du Miaoyan told him a few days ago that Du He helped Fang Yuan transport cement.

"Is it the cement problem?"

Pei Ji was the second to speak.

Open your mouth and have the idea of ​​who should be held accountable.

But what he said was also what some people present wanted to say.

If the matter is too big, someone has to take the blame, and the person who provided the cement is undoubtedly the most likely to take the blame.

"Whose question should be discussed slowly first?"

Changsun Wuji interjected.

My own son is also involved in it, and I don't know how much it is related.

Whose fault it is, or what caused it, it's better to discuss it later.

"What time is it, who else is responsible?"

"Let's discuss how to deal with the collapse of the Yellow River dam!"

Li Shimin's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice.

The matter is urgent, and I and others must come up with a plan as soon as possible.

The letter said that the Yellow River dam is breaking, and there will be a big eruption in about a day or two.

They still have a little time to discuss the response plan.

The letter from Du He and others is different from the letter sent to Du Miaoyan. This letter did not mention the secret they discovered.

Everyone stopped discussing other things and began to discuss how to deal with the collapse of the Yellow River dam.

In the end, Li Shimin and others discussed the first solution: to order the people close to the Yellow River dam to relocate urgently.

......

Henan Road, by the Yellow River.

The turbulent Yellow River flows continuously.

The water of the Yellow River came up from the sky, and the rumble was deafening.

It is so majestic that people can't help but feel awe when they look at it.

Liao Fengmao and others who were repairing the embankment by the river are already gone and gone.

One of them has a half-meter-long breach that keeps flowing water out, because there is a big rock blocking it in front, so the water flow is not very turbulent.

However, the water of the Yellow River hit the boulder again and again, splashing huge water splashes everywhere, which also made the boulder sway and unstable.

Judging from this situation, restoration is impossible, so that Liao Fengmao and the others have long since disappeared.

Suddenly, a huge roar sounded by the Yellow River, the big rock was washed away by the current, and the breach was wirelessly enlarged.

The endless water of the Yellow River gushes out from here, and it goes madly outwards at a speed that can be called the speed of a horse.

At this time, the imperial court has received orders from the prefectures and counties of Henan Province to organize the emergency evacuation of local people.

However, this large-scale migration cannot be fast or smooth.

While the common people complained, they packed their luggage and things they thought were valuable.

"Oh, I'm so annoying, how do you take away so many things?"

"It is said that the dam of the Yellow River collapsed. Our county is so far away from the Yellow River, and it is not our fault to collapse."

"That's right, I don't know what the county government thinks, I still have a piece of land that I can't win."

"We're pretty good. It's ugly to see those rich families, the carts are so full that they can't be moved."

The people were talking.

Some people are already on the road away from the Yellow River.

Some people packed their luggage slowly, as if they didn't want to leave the land where they supported themselves.

suddenly,

"Water, here comes the water!"

I don't know who screamed loudly.

People subconsciously looked in the direction of the Yellow River.

I saw a large area of ​​river rushing here quickly.

From a distance, the speed of the water flow is not high, and it seems that it is not high.

But an experienced fisherman immediately sensed the horror contained therein.

"Quick, run away!"

The fishermen were the first to react.

He ran away, never caring about his luggage or anything.

Seeing this, the others also became flustered and left quickly.

The speed of people is not as fast as the speed of water.

The people walking at the back soon saw the water coming.

The force of the current was small, but it quickly submerged their ankles.

"Run, run!"

"The water is over, the water is over!"

People shouted.

Can't wait to put on wings.

They ran wildly.

But the water was moving faster than them.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the water was up to their knees.

More and more people fled, and more and more water sources gushed out.

There were cries of panic and cries for help everywhere.

The first to suffer were young children, who were not tall and were carried away by the currents.

The second is the elderly, because of their limited mobility, they were affected by the water source and fell down when they were on their way.

"Run!"

"Look for a tree if you can't run!"

"Look for floating objects washed away by water and save yourself!"

Frantically escaping.

Several people rode back and forth to rescue people.

They are Du He, Changsun Chong, and Qin Huaiyu.

They haven't left yet, after passing the news back, they stayed in the county to find a solution to Fang Yuan with the county magistrate.

The final plan is also similar to that of the imperial court, keeping the people away from the Yellow River and avoiding being harmed.

The relocation order was issued long ago, but the effect was mediocre.

There is no way, Du He and others can only implement the second plan.

Those who have horses immediately rode back and forth to rescue the people.

Du He and the others were on the horse. Relying on the speed of the horse, they first ran to the back, rescued one or two people in danger, pulled them on the horse, and then went back to the front position, and continued to rescue people after putting the people down.

This method is very useful.

But there are too many people, and this method is not very effective.

"Save me, son, save me!"

Seeing the rescue of Du He and others, the fleeing people immediately extended a helping hand to Du He and others.

Some even went too far, they ran towards Du He and the others quickly, trying to get on Du He's horse, interfering with the rescue of Du He and the others.

As the water source got deeper and deeper, it became troublesome for Du He and others to save people, and they might be dragged into the water by some common people. For a while, they were caught in a dilemma.

At a higher place, Du He and others are stopping here to rest for a while.

"How to do?"

"It's a drop in the bucket for us to save like this!"

Qin Huaiyu looked at the fleeing army ahead with a grim expression.

Just now, he was almost pulled off his horse by several big men.

It can be seen whether there are people washed away by the water source ahead, and I can't bear it.

"Why are there only five of us?"

"Where are the officials in the county government? Didn't they also ride horses to rescue people?"

Chang Sun Chong did not answer.

But it was also ugly.

Compared with them being almost dragged into the water by the people, does he care more about the rescue of the county?

From just now to now, they have been saving for an hour, and the horses are almost too tired to run. Why haven't they seen the county magistrate organize people to rescue people.

"Don't think about it, the county must also start fleeing."

Du He said in a deep voice.

The rupture of the Yellow River dam this time could harm hundreds of thousands of people in several states.

Those people in the county must have fled quickly after confirming the situation here.

Among them, the horse can play the greatest role in escaping, and can ignore the disturbance of the flood.

There are only so many horses in one county. After Du He and the others rode five horses, the others never appeared here again.
