The third flood peak of the Yangtze River reached Hanwu today and will reach Binjiang in three days.

Judging from the flood situation report of the Provincial Prevention and Control Directorate, the flood peak this time was more fierce than the previous two times.

Although he had confidence in Binjiang's Yangtze River embankment, Secretary Lu still rushed to the Municipal Defense Directorate at the Water Conservancy Bureau to listen to the report and guide all districts, counties and units in the city to face the upcoming flood peak.

Fighting floods is now a top priority, and several deputy mayors are responsible for a district or county.

Vice Mayor Qin was in charge of Chonggang District and reported on the flood control work in the development zone. According to the schedule set by the Municipal Party Committee Office, I went downstairs and took a car to accompany Secretary Lu for an on-site inspection.

The first stop is Chonggang District.

Chonggang District is the main urban area of ​​Binjiang, and flood prevention work in the main urban area must be done well.

As a result, when the motorcade arrived near the Port Authority, they saw a motorcade with banners and red flags. They came out of the Port Authority with drums and gongs and went straight to the Shuishang Public Security Bureau.

Secretary Lu felt very strange and subconsciously asked: "What's going on?"

"I'll call and ask." Secretary Xiao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, quickly took out his cell phone.

"Xiao Xiao, stop calling, I know."

Vice Mayor Qin looked at the motorcade passing by outside the window and explained with a smile: "The Linghai Reserve Battalion not only won first-class collective merit, Xianyu and other more than 20 pre-appointed officers and soldiers were also awarded by the Guangzhou Military Region, The 105th Army and the 404th Division were recorded as first-class, second-class and third-class merit respectively.

The news reached Linghai, and those in Linghai would not miss this opportunity. Ye Yongguang and Yang Changyu, director of the National People's Congress, personally came to the city to deliver good news to units such as the Customs, Port Supervision Bureau, Border Inspection Station, Maritime Branch, Changhang Shipping Branch, and the Fishery Administration Station of the Agriculture Bureau, where their cadres and employees had made meritorious services and received awards.

Several 'boss officers' in the development zone went to Beihu to fight the flood, and most of them made meritorious deeds. Qian Zhiyong went even further. He beat gongs and drums early this morning and went to the development zone to deliver the good news. They said they were sending good news, but they were actually poaching Luo Hongxin. Luo Hongxin was so angry that she called me to complain. "

Linghai Reserve Battalion won first-class collective merit, and Xianyu and other pre-appointed officers and soldiers received awards for their meritorious service. Secretary Lu knew about it last night, but he never expected that Linghai would deliver the good news with great fanfare.

"Why don't they go to the municipal party committee and government to beat gongs and drums!"

"No one from the municipal government is on reserve duty, and no one goes to Beihu to fight the flood. Otherwise, they might go, and you and Mayor Wang will give them a warm reception."

Ye Yongguang and Qian Zhiyong now represent the local party committee and government!

If you think about it carefully, if there were cadres and workers from the municipal government who fought against the flood in Beihu and received awards for their meritorious service, they beat gongs and drums to the municipal party committee and government to deliver good news. As the heads of the units of the officers and soldiers who had made meritorious service and received awards, I and Mayor Wang would really be like Qin The deputy mayor said he received him warmly.

Secretary Lu was so dumbfounded that he laughed and scolded: "If you don't do business all day long, you only know how to sensationalize and fight among others!"

"The award is for first-class collective merit. It should be the first among the reserve forces in Jiangnan Province. Looking at the whole country, there are probably only a few."

Vice Mayor Qin smiled, thought about it and sighed: "And this first-class collective merit is recorded by the Guangzhou Military Region! If nothing else, let's talk about the Jiaoxie Red Flag Militia in Si Gang, which was destroyed by Nan decades ago. The Beijing Military Region recorded him as a third-class meritorious service, and it is still publicized to this day."

It is indeed not easy to receive such an honor, and it is indeed remarkable.

Secretary Lu was equally happy, but when he thought of the people from Linghai who came to the city to beat gongs and drums like a protest, he couldn't help laughing and scolding: "We were too conservative some time ago, always worried about this and that, and ended up being careless in Jingzhou. Let them take advantage of it."

"Secretary Lu, Linghai's achievements are also our Binjiang's achievements, so we have nothing to lose. The most aggrieved thing is probably the development zone. It has people, effort and money, but it has achieved results but there is no such thing as the development zone."

"This is similar to doing business in a partnership. If you want to do business, you must be a major shareholder. You must never be a minority shareholder, otherwise you will have no say."

“Not only do I have no right to speak, I don’t even have the right to know.”

"What right to know?" Secretary Lu asked curiously.

Vice Mayor Qin sympathized with Luo Hongxin and explained with a smile: "Linghai is like an iron rooster and doesn't want to give him his grades. He is angry and wants to get some grades back, so he plans to go to Beihu to express condolences to the officers and soldiers in the development zone. But Beihu is so big and Jingjiang is hundreds of kilometers long. He doesn’t know where Xianyu is, and he can’t find a place to express condolences.”

Secretary Lu smiled and asked, "If you have money, can't you give it away?"

"The central government requires all provinces and cities along the Yangtze River to be on tight guard. Linghai is now also on tight guard against the development zone. The officers and soldiers in the development zone who are fighting the flood in Beihu cannot get through on their mobile phones and cannot be contacted at all."

"Has he ever asked Ye Yongguang and Qian Zhiyong?"

"Asked."

"Ye Yongguang and Qian Zhiyong told him?"

"The two people in Linghai used the excuse that the location of the troops is a military secret and cannot be disclosed without the consent of the Linghai Reserve Battalion's management unit."

"Has he contacted the Airborne Corps that manages Salty Fish Camp?"

"He would like to contact me, but he doesn't know how."

"He can call Xianyu directly."

"Xianyu must either organize and direct rescue operations, or take time to rest, so no one, including me, can contact Xianyu, and Xianyu's mobile phone cannot be busy."

Secretary Lu was stunned and asked in a low voice: "You haven't been beaten before?"

Vice Mayor Qin confirmed: "No, I haven't fought since Xianyu set off."

As soon as Xianyu arrived in Beihu, he organized the commanders and soldiers to rescue him. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to report to Vice President L. Calling Xianyu was just to cause trouble for Xianyu.

Besides, Xianyu is a person who does things, so there is no need to get involved in these messy things, let alone distract Xianyu with these messy things.

"You really can't call Xianyu."

Secretary Lu nodded slightly, then thought about it and said: "Luo Hongxin has been bullied like this and still sticks to his principles, which shows that he still has an overall view. He learns from every experience, and being bullied is not a bad thing for him. Only when he suffers some losses can he truly realize the complexity of grassroots work and his shortcomings.”

"In the final analysis, he still lacks grassroots experience. How can he play tricks with Ye Yongguang and Qian Zhiyong?"

"So it is not a bad thing for him to suffer a little loss. The lesson Ye Yongguang and Qian Zhiyong taught him is probably something he will never forget in his life."

"Secretary Lu, are you still allowed to go to express condolences?"

"The development zone has nothing to do with him anymore, so why should he go to express condolences? Besides, the lesson of Ye Yongguang and Qian Zhiyong crossing the river and burning the bridge cannot be let him learn it in vain. Let him have a longer memory and learn some lessons, so that he can know how to do his job in the future. You need to be practical, and you can’t always take shortcuts, and you can’t foolishly seek skin from a tiger.”

Luo Hongxin is still capable, but he lacks grassroots work experience. It is normal that he cannot beat the two people in Linghai.

Vice Mayor Qin realized Secretary Lu's good intentions and said with a smile: "That makes sense, then I won't care about him."

Secretary Lu pondered: "Luo Hongxin doesn't need to go to express condolences, but you have to go. When the third flood peak is gone, I will go there myself."

"OK."

"By the way, what is Shen Fan busy with?"

"The construction of the Linghai Development Zone, especially the Linghai Port, is at its most critical moment. Ye Yongguang and Qian Zhiyong originally did not intend to let him return to Beihu, but now the situation has changed. Not only is the flood coming back, but there is also a possibility of a fourth or even a flood. With the possibility of the fifth flood peak, the Guangzhou Military Region gave him a second-class merit note. As the first secretary, he must quickly return to the front line of flood control."

"Have you left?"

"Let's go. We left last night."

"He came back early. He took note of the merit and rushed back in a hurry. People won't say anything."

"Will not."

Vice Mayor Qin smiled and explained: "Xianyu and the others only prepared supplies for a month when they set out, such as grain and oil, and they are almost finished. Oil, fruits and vegetables can be purchased locally, but rice cannot be purchased over there. The officers and soldiers were not used to eating rice.

Another example is that some equipment spare parts can only be purchased from us or from Donghai. So Shen Fan didn't go empty-handed this time, but brought seventeen trucks of supplies. Changhang Branch arranged a police car to escort him, and he personally escorted him in the car. "

"That's good."

Secretary Lu nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Old Qin, you can't leave empty-handed in a few days. During this period, various districts, counties and units have donated millions. You can call Shen Fan later and ask him where he is. If you need any supplies urgently, you can prepare them now and bring them with you when the time comes."

…

At the same time, the first team of the emergency rescue team ushered in a barge.

This floating living boat just towed from Hanwu came from the Yangtze River Waterway Bureau. It turned out to be a floating dormitory for the employees of the Waterway Bureau.

This is the concern of the leaders of the Changhang Bureau for the Linghai Reserve Battalion, and they want to improve the living environment of the officers and soldiers of the Linghai Reserve Battalion.

What moved Xianyu even more was that the leaders of the China Shipping Bureau knew that there were not enough excavator drivers, so they transferred two excavator drivers from the First Navigation Engineering Bureau through the Ministry of Transportation!

As soon as the water life boat and two drivers were arranged, Xiaoyu and Li Jun also arrived on the boat delivering water to the second detachment.

"Dried salted fish, I'm busy over there. Why is it so urgent?"

"Secretary Han, do you have a new mission?"

"Um."

Han Yu raised the walkie-talkie and pointed at Xu Mingyuan and others who were busy on the embankment: "The Third Company is performing a water search and rescue mission on the Dongting Lake. It has been fighting for several days in a row. Not only can't it eat well, but it can't rest well, and it doesn't take enough time to rest every day. To four hours.”

Li Jun asked in surprise: "It's been several days since An Zaoyuan collapsed. Are they still searching for and rescuing?"

"The village is very large, and there are not many troops capable of carrying out search and rescue tasks. In addition, many people had no time to evacuate when they broke out. They either took shelter on the safety building or on the safety platform to avoid the flood. It would take a lot of effort to move so many people out. time."

"Are there any casualties among the people?"

"Yes, as of this morning, more than fifty people have drowned. This is just what can be counted."

Han Yu took a deep breath and continued: "The 127th Regiment's water search and rescue team was temporarily organized into the third company. Ma Jintao called and said that the 127th Regiment's search and rescue team was only equipped with ten assault boats and had not received systematic water search and rescue training. He wanted to Those ten assault boats are really useful and we urgently need experienced rescue team members.”

Xiaoyu subconsciously asked: "Shall we go?"

Han Yu nodded and explained: "When we get there, the third company will be under the full command of Senior Brother. Whether Ma Jintao, Chen Youren, or you, including the water search and rescue team of the 127th Regiment, everyone must obey Senior Brother's orders. "

The eldest brother is the oldest and has served as the captain of the criminal police brigade. He also has rich experience in water search and rescue. Naturally, Xiaoyu will not have any objection to the eldest brother commanding him. Instead, he asked in confusion: "It's been a few days since I opened the mouth. How can I open it again?" Not blocked?"

"The situation over there is more complicated. Blocking the blockage relies entirely on manpower. Nanhu has requested military support and it is expected that it will be blocked soon."

"What do you mean more complicated?"

"We don't have the conditions for large-scale construction machinery, otherwise we would have gone to help."

"Can't the equipment be transported?"

"It should be. In short, your next task is to focus on water rescue."

Xiaoyu asked worriedly: "I will drive the assault boat to rescue people, but who will drive the excavator?"

Han Yu explained: "Someone is driving, and the China Shipping Bureau has helped us mobilize two excavator masters with rich construction experience."

Li Jun asked in a low voice: "Secretary Han, our party commando team is all going to participate in the water rescue. Who will come when manpower is needed to assist in the rescue and construction?"

"The 2nd Battalion of the 132nd Regiment has just formed a party member commando team. The second battalion commander Li Shousong personally serves as the commando captain." Han Yu paused and added: "Although the work of the party member commando team is hard, tiring and dangerous, it is highly technical. It’s not very high and I believe they can do it.”

"Okay, when do we leave?"

"Elder brother is making preparations on the shore. You will set off when the logistics support team comes back from purchasing the vehicle."

"yes!"

"Be safe when you get there."

“Don’t worry, we are professionals in doing this!”

When it comes to water rescue, it would be immodest to say that the army's pontoon force here may not necessarily have the expertise of Xiaoyu and Li Jun.

After all, Xiaoyu grew up on a boat, and after joining the workforce, he engaged in water law enforcement and water rescue. Although Li Jun did not grow up on a ship, he has been working on the riverside since he joined the army, and even often went to the river to perform monitoring tasks for foreign ships.

Regarding the two of them, Han Yu really had nothing to worry about.

Just as he was about to ask them to go to the cooking boat to prepare meals, Xiaoyu asked in confusion: "Dried salted fish, what happened to Nanhu? Why do so many people live in the lake area?"

Han Yu didn't expect him to ask this, and said helplessly: "I didn't know it at first, but I heard it from Xi Gong later. It is said that it was in the late 1950s, under the guidance of the Great Y's ideological guidance of 'taking grain as the key link' , in order to solve the food problem and increase cultivated land to support agricultural cooperation and meet the needs of national socialist industrial construction, both the central and local governments made food production the focus of all work.

There is a trend of reclaiming land from lakes across the country, and slogans such as "take grain as the key link" and "run to enter communism" are overwhelming. The leaders of Nanhu at that time made the decision to reclaim the lake area and asked Dongting Lake for "money" and "food". "

"Then what?" Xiaoyu asked.

"I've never been to An Zao Embankment, and I don't know the situation in An Zao Embankment."

Han Yu pointed to the tuning gate not far away and said with a wry smile: "I only know the origin of the tuning gate. Behind the gate is the tuning river, which flows southward through Ronghua County in Nanhu Province through Shishu, and flows into Qianliang Lake in Xiang'an County, Nanhu Province.

Qianliang Lake is actually part of Dongting Lake. At that time, the guiding ideology of Nanhu Lake was that Qianliang Lake was connected with Tiaoxian River. To reclaim Qianliang Lake, the upstream water must be blocked first. Therefore, Nanhu made a request to Beihu Province to block the tuning port.

In fact, they want to carry out large-scale reclamation, and they do need to block the dams to reduce the pressure of flood control. However, the blockades not only involve Beihu and Nanhu provinces, but also involve flood control in Xijiang Province. In the end, the leaders of the three provinces held a three-provincial water conservancy meeting in the General Conference Room of the National Academy of Sciences, and finally decided on the decision to tune the string and seal the gate, and the current gate was created. "

I didn’t expect that the gate not far away had such an origin.

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Where are those people's villages of An Gong?"

"The situation in Angong is different from that in Xiang'an County, Nanhu Province. Although there are many villages in Angong, people have lived there for generations, and the history can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty or even earlier."

"But many places in Anggong are flood diversion areas. How can people live in the flood diversion areas!"

"This is not what you think."

"What's the meaning?"

"Only more than half of Anggong's area belongs to the Jingjiang flood diversion project area. Since it is a flood diversion project, it means that it is a flood diversion area only when it is activated, but not when it is not activated."

Han Yu took a deep breath and continued: "Moreover, the three flood diversions in 1954 were not to protect ourselves, but to protect the Jingjiang embankment, the Jianghan Plain on the north bank, and even Hanwu."

Li Jun's education level was much higher than Xiaoyu's. Knowing the situation in Angong County, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really not easy to protect everyone at the expense of our small family."

"There are even more difficult ones."

Han Yu raised his arm to look at the time on his watch and said solemnly: "Gong Xi said that when the Jingjiang Flood Diversion Project was built, including the subsequent maintenance of the Jingjiang Flood Diversion Project, the funds allocated by the state were not enough at all. A large part of the funds came from Angong County. of.

In other words, people spend money and effort to build flood diversion projects, but in the end they dig holes in their own homes and flood them to protect other people's homes!

And living in the flood diversion project area is the same as living in other places. The state does not provide them with any preferential policies. The agricultural tax they should pay is a lot, and they still have to pay the three taxes and five taxes. Since river embankments are longer than other places, the number of river workers required is even greater than the number of people in other places. "

Xiaoyu was stunned for a long time before murmuring: "The people in Angong County are suffering too much!"

Compared with the people in Angong County, Han Yu felt that the people in Linghai were really happy, and sighed: "Geju said that in order to deal with the three flood peaks and the Jingnan flood that just passed, Angong County used up all the money, and the finance department There is not a penny in the bureau’s account, and we even have to borrow money from the bank.”

Li Jun reacted: "No wonder we have to collect flood control fees from the people. It turns out there is really no money."

Han Yu nodded, clenched his fists and said: "So we must do our best to guard the Jingjiang Levee. Only by guarding the Jingjiang Levee will we not have to activate the Jingjiang Flood Diversion Project like in 1954. Otherwise, the losses in Angong County will be even greater. The people of Angong County Life will be even harder."
