Hearing this, Zhao Jin didn't react immediately, but froze there for a moment, and then didn't care about putting on his shoes, and jumped out of bed directly, because the action was too big, he knocked over a wooden frame, and the vase on it was shattered, and even the children next door were awakened, crying there, at this moment, the maid outside had already lit the lamp and went over to check, Xu Zhenzhen put on her clothes and sat up on the bed.

At this time, she was not angry, she asked softly, "Husband"

Coincidentally, at this time, the maid came in with a lamp, and the light was reflected on Zhao Jin's face, seeing Zhao Jin's look, Xu Zhenzhen was startled, hurriedly covered her mouth, and almost screamed, she saw Zhao Jin's expression for the first time, her face was pale, and there was cold sweat on her forehead, Zhao Jin was actually very frightened, and her husband who was determined to kill was actually a little panicked at this time.

Through the light, Zhao Jin also saw Xu Zhenzhen's expression, and he immediately realized that he was not right, Zhao Jin took a long breath, took a deep breath, waved his hand at Xu Zhenzhen, and then walked to the door and asked in a deep voice, "Is there a break over there?" ”

"Fifteen miles west of the state city has been blocked, and the nearby regimental training and Minzhuang have rushed over." Sun Dalin replied in a low voice.

Hearing the news, Zhao Jin only felt that his body was soft, nervous to the point of sudden relaxation, his body was really a little nervous, any abnormal movement along the south bank of the Yellow River must be reported immediately, this is his military order, and it is indeed strictly enforced, when he was just awakened, Zhao Jin was still a little confused, and what came to his mind in an instant was the collapse of the embankment, the ocean, and the entire Xuzhou was flooded by the Yellow River, but he didn't expect the situation to be not so bad.

"Wake up all the people in the council hall, let the guards prepare their horses, and go quickly!" Zhao Jin ordered a few words, and the steps outside were hurried, and Sun Dalin had already gone to make arrangements.

Zhao Jin then had the heart to sit on the chair and relax for a while, Xu Zhenzhen, who got out of bed in clothes, went to bring a bowl of hot tea, it was convenient for Zhao Jin to drink a few sips of tea, and then he felt that he was normal, and he looked up and was about to speak, but he looked at Xu Zhenzhen's concerned gaze, Zhao Jin smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, you go and coax the child, I want to go out, you don't have to wait." ”

Since entering June, there has been rain in Xuzhou from time to time, compared with the drought in previous years, it is more rainy, but it is nothing, and it can be said that the wind and rain are smooth.

However, this rain is not only Xuzhou, the whole territory of Henan is rainy, from west to east so down, the water level of the Yellow River is also rising higher and higher, the sediment deposit for so many years, the middle reaches of the Yellow River are narrow and higher than the ground level, it is a "hanging river", and to Xuzhou here, the river channel widens, the water flow slows down, and so if the water power accumulated in the middle reaches has to be applied to Xuzhou and the downstream, this is the reason for the flood in Xuzhou and Pizhou.

It will take time for the news of the rupture to come from Xuzhou City, and by the time Zhao Jin is ready to set off, there is already a light in the sky.

Although it has only rained in recent days, Zhao Ziying's maintenance of the road has taken effect at this time, and the road that has been placed elsewhere to accumulate cement is still walkable in Xuzhou, Zhao Jin made arrangements here, Liu Yong rushed to the Yellow River embankment near Hejiazhuang, Ji Xiang arranged his men and horses to inspect the river dam, and Wang Zhaojing mobilized manpower and materials to prepare with all his might.

After knowing that the place of the breach had been blocked, Zhao Jin was not in a hurry to hurry, Hejiazhuang to Xuzhou City, there was also an official road along the river, Zhao Jin simply walked along the river dam, and went up from time to time to take a look at the situation.

The water did not skyrocket, and there was no rain in the past few days, and even all the ditches in Xuzhou were diverted to full, and there was no reason to break the mouth

By the time we got there, the sun had already risen, and the sky was bright, and I could see the breach of the dam, but it looked more like it had collapsed than washed away.

Seeing Zhao Jin and the others coming, Zhao Shiyi Lang and the others, who had been waiting here for a long time, hurriedly greeted them, everyone was full of bloodshots, calculating the time, it would be good if they could sleep for an hour last night.

The dam breach is a mess, you can see the washed out houses, the garbage everywhere, and even the carcasses of domestic animals, but the strange thing is that the victim Cheng dù is too small, that is, a village was washed away at the breach, and even this village was not washed away.

"Last night, the river dam suddenly collapsed, and the water gushed out from below, and then the river dam collapsed, and the river water poured in, but fortunately, the people who patrolled the river found it in time, and there were hundreds of people stationed nearby, shouting that the people in the village would block this mouth together, God willing, the water is not big at the moment, otherwise the city of Xuzhou will be destroyed." When Zhao Shiyi Lang reported this, he had a palpitating expression.

Although his expression was like this, the tone in which he said this was gritted his teeth, and Zhao Jin already felt that something was wrong, but what he knew next made him cry and laugh.

This Zhuangzi is close to the river dam, and there is a tradition in the villages near the Yellow River on this side of Xuzhou, that is, to build a soil fence, but this earth fence is not to prevent horse thieves, but to prevent floods.

The Yellow River has not had a major flood in recent years, and the so-called flood is just a flood of rising water, and the village's own soil fence can block the water, and the water will naturally recede after a few days, not to mention the dry season in these years.

Zhao Ziying was able to really control Xuzhou, and after mobilizing more than 10,000 manpower, he began to build water conservancy, and the Yellow River dam was also built day by day, and this village also made a lot of efforts.

However, when the water has risen recently, the villages along the dam have to be stationed on standby, and then this village has watched the Yellow River rise day by day, and the people in the village are becoming more and more panicked, and they feel that the dam built by the official family has never been of any use, and what can the dam built by Zhao Jin be of any use, although the dam looks very similar.

So when the young people in the village were guarding the dam, they transported soil to the village, and there was no place to take soil nearby, so they dug the soil of the dam directly, and came up with an idea, using broken bamboo baskets and the like to fill in the digging place, and then spread straw mats on the outside, and then scatter the soil, and they couldn't see it at all if they didn't pay attention.

This move did not take place for a few days, because Zhao Ziying increased the inspection of the river dam, so there was no way to secretly take the soil and transport the soil, but it was this defect that could not withstand tonight, first the place where the soil was dug was washed out of a hole, and then the embankment collapsed, and the Yellow River rushed in.

The water potential of the Yellow River has been rising, but it has not yet reached the point of flooding, so after the water rushed in, the collapsed embankment played a role in blocking, and then the people who inspected immediately found that the mobile company and the people of the digging villages were mobilized, I have to say, the method of loading soil and stone in the bamboo basket is very useful, which is difficult to be washed away by the water, and the bamboo basket is piled up and then added soil, and the gap is quickly blocked.

As soon as the embankment broke, Zhao Shiyilang, who had been on duty outside the city for a long time, immediately rushed over, and at the same time arranged for someone to send a letter to Zhao Jin, this strict order no one dared to disobey, but it was blocked quickly, and the second messenger was hurriedly sent to chase forward regardless of the danger, so that there was complete news to Hejiazhuang.

Speaking of this, Zhao Jin finally understood, no wonder the loss of the break was so small, no wonder Zhao Shiyi Lang gritted his teeth so much, and blamed himself for paying more and more attention to the flood situation of the Yellow River these days.

Zhao Jin looked at the embankment, and then looked at the messy ground, Xuzhou July is rare to have this time of hot and humid weather, running over at night, Zhao Jin was already sweaty, he didn't wipe it, just took a deep breath, several people standing next to Zhao Jin were very nervous, they rarely saw Zhao Jin so expressionless.

"Did you bring them all?"

"Master Jin asked about the rocks, and he brought them over."

"From my side, thirty miles to the east and west, bring all the people who talk and count from the villages along the coast here, and do it now."

Zhao Jin ordered, and immediately someone went around, Zhao Shiyi Lang wanted to say something, but Zhao Jin ignored it, just walked towards the dam, and now there are hundreds of young people struggling to repair the gap over there, Zhao Jin walked to him and said: "Everyone has worked hard, the food at noon is rewarded!" ”

He said "Reward" It must be a good meal such as meat, oil, and water, and the young men who were working shouted in an uproar, shouting over there, "Thank you!" ”

After getting on the embankment, Zhao Jin looked at the rushing Yellow River, and then looked back at the little damage caused by the breach, only muttering silently over there, seeing his attitude, the people around him became more and more worried.

Each thirty miles along the line of the villages, want to bring people over very time-consuming, at noon, deliberately kill a sheep to the dam repair people to open meat, to Zhao Jin is to prepare mutton marinated noodles, Zhao Jin did not want, but to repair the dam among the young and strong, and they eat sorghum mixed flour cakes, drink mutton soup, the atmosphere is very warm, see the high in the master and everyone eat the same sweet, those group exercises and the villagers are very excited.

When the sun sank in the west, the people along the line were brought here, and the people who were in charge of each village were either landlords or elders, and with their status, they usually saw the white servants of the yamen to be respectful, not to mention seeing Zhao Jin, everyone was sincerely afraid and didn't know what was going on.

The people of Shiwa Village were also brought here, and the people in charge of the villages along the line were taken to the other side, and Zhao Jin stepped forward.

"All the people in the stone depression knelt down, and the children under the age of ten brought it back, and no one gave them a piece of bread, and someone looked at it." Zhao Jin commanded.

The child was taken away, and the frightened people of the whole village knelt down, and these people were full of men, women, and children, even in the countryside, it was not appropriate for the young woman to show her face, but at this time she could only kneel in the muddy water, and everyone was already afraid, and some people began to tremble.

"Bring out the people who are in charge of the village." Zhao Jin commanded again.
