The flood season in the south of the Yangtze River is long, which can last for four or five months.

The rainy season begins in April and May, and usually lasts for a month, and can even reach two months in long periods. It is characterized by continuous rain and menstrual periods, but fortunately, the water rises gently, and as long as you deal with it carefully, the earthen embankment can also be prevented.

After the rainy season has passed, the hurricane season begins in June and July.

Hurricane season is a very different style. When the typhoon is not coming, the wind is calm. As soon as the typhoon came, the torrential rain poured, the water swelled sharply, and the wind and waves were rapid, and the damage to the embankment was several times that of the plum rain, and the earthen embankment could not bear it at all.

In the past, at this time in Kunshan County, even the flood control people removed the embankment, and they never resisted.

Anyway, no matter how hard you try, you can't bear it, not to mention the loss of labor and money, and even dozens or hundreds of lives, it is better to lie flat and let the flood ravage.

But this year, Kunshan County is going to challenge the hurricane flood for the first time! Let's see if the newly built rubble concrete embankment can really be as indestructible as Jiangnan Company claims!

After all, no matter how well the advertisement is done, it still depends on the efficacy.

~~

The first hurricane of the second year of Longqing came a little earlier than usual.

On the fifth day of the seventh month, at noon, the first day was as dark as ink, and the wind rose on the ground, blowing sand and rocks, and people were unstable on the construction site.

The district chiefs knew that something bad was going to happen at a glance, so they hurriedly ordered the chiefs to take the people to receive all the unopened cement and construction tools to the warehouse.

As for the concrete that has already been mixed, it can only be wasted.

It was only halfway through the clean-up when the bean-sized raindrops began to crackle and fall.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" On the construction site, the captains shouted hoarsely. "Put down the rest, save the cement first!"

After dealing with cement for more than half a month, everyone knows that this goods will clump when it encounters water. When the rain rained, the whole bag was wasted. That's a bag of silver or two!

The people used their strength to carry the cement into the warehouse.

The cement on the boat was too late to be unloaded, so the boatmen and boatmen hurriedly covered their heads with tarpaulins, straw mats, and even quilts that they slept on, and hurriedly rowed back to the city to avoid the wind.

The wind howled, the rain became more and more intense, and soon the rain poured down.

The heavens and the earth suddenly turned white, and a dazzling lightning bolt seemed to tear through the pitch-black sky, and then an earth-shattering thunder sounded!

Zhao Shouzheng stood under the eaves of the Nanshan Temple Mountain, watching the long river shoreline shrouded in rain.

The wind swept up the cold ice rain, patting Zhao Erye's face indiscriminately, and he was about to shed warm tears in a hurry.

"How did you come so early? Doesn't it mean that a serious hurricane usually arrives at the end of July? ”

"What can we do if we encounter such an unscrupulous hurricane?" Zhao Hao comforted his father and said: "Fortunately, the important sections of the river have been completed, so it shouldn't be a big problem." ”

"Really?" Second Master Zhao looked at his son.

"If you don't believe me, you should also believe Pan Zhongcheng, right?" Zhao Hao forced a confident smile and said, "Even if you don't believe us, you should believe in science." Cement concrete is invincible! ”

"Oh, that's great." Hearing his son say this, Second Master Zhao was worried, relaxed and stretched, and said, "It's raining so hard, you can be considered lazy." ”

Then he shouted to Fan Datong in the main hall: "Brother Xian, stir-fry two side dishes, let's drink two cups." ”

Since he was in charge of the kitchen, Fan Datong has gained almost 20 pounds, and his whole face is oily, quite similar to a Tang fat man.

When he heard this, he smiled and said, "Do you still use my brother's orders?" ”

As he spoke, he lifted a tray with four dishes and a pot of wine on it.

"Aha, it's still a good brother." Second Master Zhao happily ran to the main hall, Fang Wen hurriedly put up an umbrella for him, but the wind was too strong, and in the blink of an eye, there was only an umbrella handle.

Fang Wen looked at the stick in his hand, and then at Second Master Zhao, who had already rushed to His Royal Highness, and reluctantly hid his figure.

~~

The wind carried the terrifying moisture of the ocean ashore, and the torrential rain covered the day without the slightest sign of stopping.

For Kunshan County, the real test is that rainwater from more than a dozen counties around Taihu Lake collects down the river and pours down the lake.

Seventy percent of the water flows into the Wusong River, and now all the pressure is on the side of Kunshan!

Yaojiayan.

Pan Ji stood on the section of the embankment that he commanded to repair during the rainy season, and looked at the dark and dreary river.

Zheng Ruozeng was dressed in a lily robe and held a bamboo cane, standing next to him with difficulty. The wind swept the torrential rain, so that the elderly Zheng couldn't open his eyes at all.

Seeing Pan Jitao's feet taking root and not blinking his eyes, Zheng Ruozeng felt very admired.

"Zhongcheng is really a good figure, the old man can talk now...... Difficulty. ”

Pan Jitao gave him a strange look. "How old are you, how old am I?"

"The old man is sixty and six this year, and Zhongcheng is ......," Zheng Ruo once said before remembering that Pan Jitao was eighteen years younger than him, and less than fifty.

Two serious generations.

Lao Zheng couldn't help but be embarrassed, this Premier Pan looked too anxious, he always thought that everyone was the same age.

Zheng Ruozeng hurriedly wanted to round the scene, but Pan Jitao raised his hand to signal him to silence.

"How?" Zheng Ruozeng asked in a low voice.

"The sound of the waves." Pan Jitao replied.

Zheng Ruozeng listened attentively, his ears were full of wind mixed with all kinds of noise, how could he hear anything different.

Pan Jitao pointed to the west, Zheng Ruozeng hurriedly picked up the telescope and took a look, and this time he saw it.

I saw a white line of water, which seemed to be slow but was actually sweeping quickly!

The hurricane flood in the second year of Longqing has officially begun!

That is, in a dozen breaths, the turbulent river slammed into the river embankment, and in the deafening roar, the waves rolled up a few feet high.

The two couldn't dodge and were splashed.

The flood in the river continued to hit the embankment frantically under the strong wind!

The first is the embankment that was built with great effort last time, that is, the triangular prism made of twenty wooden beams and hundreds of baskets of masonry.

After just one meal, with a bang, several wooden beams broke alive.

Baskets of heavy masonry were unrestrained, and they were washed away by the river when they landed. The remaining wooden beams were uprooted, allowing the flood water to sweep away far away.

Seeing that the breakwater was so vulnerable, Zheng Ruozeng couldn't help but turn pale. "Horror, the power of heaven and earth is not something that human beings can compete with, and this earthen embankment will definitely not be able to be saved."

Pan Jitao nodded, watching the flood roar and rush into the bend of the embankment that had lost its barrier, and in the deafening sound of the waves, the waves surged up, and they were two or three zhang high!

The earthen embankment under the feet of the two men was crumbling, and a large chunk of the outer embankment collapsed.

"Let's go, Zhongcheng ......" Zheng Ruozeng anxiously urged.

Pan Jitao laughed loudly at the terrifying river tide.

"The evil obstacle is rampant, the old man is waiting for you later, let's fight again!"

After saying that, he jumped on the embankment behind him with his legs and feet.

Zheng Ruo was supported by his son, but he was left far behind.

ps. The second update, ask for a monthly pass!!
