Chapter 1124: High in the West and Low in the East

There are already eight villages that have been affected by the disaster, and there are three large Zhuangzi that have flourished in recent years, and the families who have been affected by the disaster have suddenly become more than 2,500 households, and the number of people has already passed, and the number of dead and wounded must have exceeded 2,000.

There were a lot of flooded shops and workshops, but what really mattered was the three wineries and two granaries, although they did not collapse, but the losses were definitely indispensable.

The city of Xuzhou is also flooded, the deepest place is the junction area of the east city and the south city, it is said that it can flood people, most of the area is waist or to the calf, there are not too many casualties in the city, but the two wineries have suffered heavy losses, the lees and the pool may be completely replaced after this time, and there are two warehouses in the city, and the things stored in them are afraid that there will be trouble.

At this time, the state city is closed according to the rules, in order to avoid riots in the city, Zhao Jin does not plan to enter the city at night, according to the follow-up messenger news, Zhao Shiyi Lang has gathered more than 3,000 people to block the place where the breach and the embankment collapsed, although I don't know how big the breach and the embankment collapsed, but the news itself is relieved, because it can still be blocked, it means that it is not so strict.

In all fairness, the forces of the Zhao Zi battalion around Xuzhou reacted very quickly, and the follow-up disposal could keep up, but the break is the break, no matter how complete the follow-up is, the loss has been caused.

The only thing that is reassuring is that the night sky is clear and cloudless, and the sky is full of stars and moons, at least it will not continue to rain, which will make the snow worse.

When I arrived near the state city, there was new news that the collapsed embankment had been blocked, and it was being strengthened with earth and stones, and then Zhao Shiyi Lang asked Zhao Jin not to go inside, because after the breach, the water flooded everywhere, although it was not very deep everywhere, but it was dangerous to walk at night.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Jin couldn't go inside, so he waited outside, while the cavalry went in in groups to find out the news.

However, when it was dawn, Zhao Jin found that the situation was not as bad as his own judgment, the danger of this break was much greater than a few days, a few days ago it was just a village that was washed away, and it looked like an ocean in front of him, and the entire city of Xuzhou was submerged in it, which was really shocking.

But if you look closely, you will find that the water surface is very shallow, and the water of the Yellow River within the range you can see is not submerging the calves at all, and it is still receding rapidly.

At this time, the benefits of daily remediation are apparent, and the ditches that have been dug out and repaired and protected are filled with water, and they are draining rapidly.

Zhao Jin stood there and watched for a long time, then turned around and got on the horse, the guards who escorted Zhao Jin also had plans, and they looked dangerous at the moment, but it should not be a big problem to be careful when wading through the water, and it was a big deal to put a few more guards in front of them to explore the way, and just stop in case of trouble.

But he didn't expect Zhao Jin to go in the direction of the state city, but rode his horse to the side of the river dam, and when he arrived at the dam, he got off the horse and was about to go up, someone wanted to persuade him, but he was glared back by Zhao Jin.

Zhao Jin walked very slowly on the dam, stopped from time to time to observe and take a closer look, the water potential of the Yellow River has become a lot more fierce, but compared to the previous few days, it did not skyrocket to any extent, just walked for more than two hours, and when he walked in the direction of the state city, Zhao Jin stopped at the dam, and was a little irritated to drive away the guards in front of him, and stood there and watched intently, as if he had found something.

This position where he is located is not far from the place of the latest breach, Zhao Shiyi Lang also led people to be busy over there, and it didn't take long to rush over, compared with the last worry, this time Zhao Shiyi Lang was full of smiles, but after a closer look, you can know that this is the happiness of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

"Jin Ye, I thought it was a catastrophe, I didn't expect it to be blocked, this water potential is not as big as I thought, after rushing in, the momentum is limited, the subordinates rushed up with their brothers, and threw the earth stone bamboo cage below, and soon it was intercepted, not to hide from the Lord Jinye, after knowing the news, the subordinates' legs were soft, I felt that Xuzhou was all over now, I didn't expect it to be such a big deal, Jin Ye saw it, this water went down quickly, it was the use of our digging ditches, thanks to this dam, thanks to this arrangement, I don't have to be afraid of the Yellow River." I thought that every qiē would be ruined, but I didn't expect that things could be reversed, and after great sorrow, great joy, this mentality is normal.

Zhao Jin smiled, and his mood was a little better when he heard Zhao Shiyi Lang say this, but he still advised: "Don't look down on this Yellow River, there is no rain these days, we are strict in our precautions, this can be prevented, if it is like that before, we will really suffer a big loss this time!" ”

"Jin Ye is right, but it depends on Jin Ye's wisdom to do this outside, it is inconvenient for us to move in the city, but the water in the city has not receded much now, and the subordinates have arranged for the patrol and the people in the yamen to check the whole city, and now the weather is too hot, in case it is not clean, it will be troublesome."

After saying this, Zhao Shiyi Lang also had his own feelings, he was most familiar with the inside and outside of the state city: "If it weren't for the big brother who would have taken care of the south side of the city when he was there, many people in the south of the city would have entered the Zhao Zi camp because of their children, or they came out on an errand for Yunshan Xing, and many people moved out of Xuzhou. ”

"The village that stole the soil this time, the whole village will be killed by five heads, and the rest will be punished with hard labor, and the heads will be seen in every village along the Yellow River, and next time, I will leave the whole village without chickens and dogs!" When Zhao Jin said this, his tone suddenly turned cold.

Zhao Shiyi hurriedly agreed on the side, and said hatefully: "The people in this village are really bastards, they can't be blocked, they actually scattered and fled, and some people went to run home, but they were all washed away by the water, if it weren't for our Zhao Zi's timely rescue, I'm afraid the whole village would die in this flood, they deserve to die, but the people of the other eight or nine villages are in vain and their bastards are involved, and those dead and injured are damaged to where to reason?" ”

"All the corpses must be burned as much as possible, whoever wants to stop the spirit and not bury it will use it strongly, you have to be careful about this matter, the state city is a closed place, and the corpse stays in such a hot day, it is easy to get into trouble."

"Please rest assured, the whole city can be used by the young and strong, all the drowned livestock, what can be eaten is immediately cooked, and what cannot be eaten is immediately pulled out and burned and buried, there can be no chaos at this moment."

After saying a few words, Zhao Jin still looked in the direction of the city, which made the people around him a little puzzled, thinking that this time it can be said that there is no danger, and the state city is not a big problem, although it has been peaceful in recent years, but the flood into the city in the early years is not once or twice, Xuzhou City is still standing, and the current water situation is really nothing.

Zhao Jin watched there for a while, and said: "The water rushed in this direction, but the water was only in the east and south, and the water in the west and north almost receded, well, there was not much water in the west, and it looked very dry, I came all the way from Hejiazhuang, and it was okay on the road and along the way, and there was no water accumulation because of the rain." ”

He said here, Zhao Shiyi Lang on the side replied casually: "The terrain of our Xuzhou is high in the west and low in the east, and Hejiazhuang is the highest terrain in Xuzhou. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shiyi Lang was interested, and said with a smile: "You don't know, those older people in the city say that we have luck in Zhao Ziying, and say that when you started to enter the house, everyone had to stay in the city, but you led people to Hejiazhuang, at that time everyone said that you were short-sighted, but now look, who doesn't say that Jinye stands high and can see far, then the terrain of Hejiazhuang is not afraid of floods, this is the so-called Tianhe!" ”

"I thought so far there at the time, but I just felt that we were too dazzling in the city, so He Weiyuan came to the door to die, so he led everyone over there." Zhao Jin said with a smile, after saying this, Zhao Jin shook his head, and also felt that this matter was a coincidence.

"Jin Ye, this is the will of heaven, this is the will of heaven, the will of our Zhao family!" Zhao Shiyilang, who has always been calm, looked very excited when he talked about this.

Seeing that Zhao Jin didn't say anything, Zhao Shiyi Lang lowered his voice and said: "Big brother, some people say that our Zhao family is the descendant of Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty, back then."

Halfway through the words, Zhao Jin's face had sunk, and he looked at him coldly, Zhao Shiyi Lang immediately didn't dare to say any more, and lowered his head and hands.

Zhao Jin stared at it for a few times before he said solemnly: "Now what is the providence of heaven, don't let others say it, and you don't mix it in, it's useless to do this, but it will add to the chaos, do you understand?" ”

"The subordinates know that they are wrong, please rest assured, the subordinates will not say it in the future, and they will be strictly investigated." Zhao Shiyi Lang has an advantage, that is, he will unequivocally and absolutely obey orders.

Zhao Jin nodded, looked at the state city again, and said indifferently: "What is the brilliance of that Zhao in the two songs, it is really a shame to climb such an ancestor." ”

"If Master Jin wants to ban such rumors, he will ask Master Yong to deal with them generally, it is said that there are rumors everywhere," Zhao Shiyi Lang said.

"Strictly investigate, if someone wants to use this to incite people or make profits, deal with it strictly!" Zhao Jin's tone was cold.

The water of the Yellow River that broke out of the dam did not stay for too long, and it had almost receded the next night, and it was not too miserable for the people of Xuzhou who had lost their homes.

However, what makes everyone feel strange is that it would not be better to resettle in situ, and the damage caused by the flood this time will not be so big, and it will cost too much to resettle elsewhere.
