Chapter 1229 The flood has arrived, it’s too late to regret
Just like Murphy’s law, the more you fear something, the more likely it will happen. The more worried people in Jiangnan were about the continued heavy rain, the more the torrential rain continued, with no sign of stopping after one day and two nights.
The pond is full, the river is full, and the stream is swollen, as if it will overflow at the slightest disagreement.
The next day, after Zhu Pingan inspected the area, he deeply felt that the flood disaster was imminent.
"Zhang Dianli, I appoint you as the chief of the Qinghe River, responsible for the management of the Qinghe River and flood control and flood prevention; Liu Dianli, I appoint you as the chief of the Xiaochuan River, responsible for the management of the Xiaochuan River and flood control; Han Dianli, I appoint you"
Zhu Ping'an summoned all subordinate officials in the county government, learned from the successful experience of my country's modern river chief system, and appointed all subordinate officials in the county government as river chiefs of the main rivers, streams, and lakes in Jingnan's jurisdiction, responsible for organizing the corresponding rivers, streams , pond management and protection, the current main task is flood control.
Of course, Zhu Pingan himself also claimed a river, the Sanli River outside the city. This river has the most important task of flood control.
After appointing the river chief, Zhu Ping'an planned a number of high-lying, open flood avoidance areas based on his inspections over the past few days, built rain shelters, and prepared enough food, drinking water, cooking stoves, bedding and other supplies. , ordering high-risk villages along rivers, streams, lakes and other high-risk villages to move to flood avoidance areas in advance to avoid flood risks.
"咣咣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣壣也 radiation Flood zone transfer ”
In the wind and rain, a government servant wearing a raincoat, carrying a yellow bag with a small red flag on his back, rode a yellow gelding horse to Xiaozhao Village. He held a gong in his hand and beat it loudly. of the messenger.
This is the standard "Shui Bao" costume in ancient times. Anyone who sees this costume knows it is Shui Bao.
"What, I didn't listen to the messenger, did I?! We are required to abandon our homes on this rainy day?!"
"No, Brother Chai, are you sure you didn't send the wrong message? The county Why did you suddenly ask us to move?”
After hearing this, the villagers instinctively resisted, and they were unwilling to move to any flood control area on a heavy rainy day.
Firstly, it is pouring rain outside, and you will suffer a lot if you move; secondly, Chinese people have a natural tendency to settle down and relocate, and the thought of abandoning their home and moving, even if it is temporary, makes them sad. Resistance; thirdly, haven't they repaired the dam of Fengxi River at the east end of the village? Why are they still moving?
"Fathers and fellow villagers of Xiaozhao Village, how many of my brains dare to falsely convey the order of the county magistrate? This is absolutely true. Folks, quickly pack up the gold and silver, bring food, and move quickly. Folks "People, this is not an alarmist. I just came from the Fengxi River embankment, and the water in Fengxi River has almost reached the top of the embankment." The officer sat on horseback and said loudly to the villagers in Xiaozhao Village.
"What? Real or fake?!" People did not expect that the water in Fengxi River would rise so fast.
"Li Zheng, who is Li Zheng from Xiaozhao Village?" the police officer shouted.
"That's the little old man." Li Zheng, an old man in his sixties, walked out of the crowd in Xiaozhao Village.
"The Gaolipo Flood Refuge Area is in Gaolipo. Do you always know the location? It doesn't matter if you don't know. There are signs along the way and red ropes are tied to the trees. You always lead your fellow villagers to follow the village entrance. Walking along the red rope, you will reach the Gaolipo Flood Refuge Area about five miles away. The county has already reserved a resettlement site for Xiaozhao Village in the flood refuge area. I will leave this place to you. I have to go to Wangzhuang to convey the transfer order. .”
After the officer finished explaining the situation in Xiaozhao Village, he hurriedly rode towards Wangzhuang to deliver the relocation order.
"Young and old men, you have all heard what Mr. Cha said just now. I just came down from the Fengxi Embankment. What Mr. Cha said is true. The water in Fengxi is about to collapse to the top of the embankment. It's just an elbow away. If the county magistrate hadn't ordered us to repair the embankment, the embankment would have been washed away by Fengxi, and our Xiaozhao Village would have been flooded. The county magistrate bought us time to escape. We can't let down the magistrate's good intentions. The old and young men hurried back to collect gold and silver, bring dry food, help the old and the young, and we went to Gaolipo to avoid the flood. District. "
Although Li Zheng was old, he was still energetic. He clapped his hands and said to the villagers, directing them to move.
"Li Zheng, do we have to move? Let's go. How are we going to clean up our house? What if there's a burglar?"
Some people are nervous about their home and don't want to move.
"You bastard, is human life more important, or the things in your home?! At this time, you still can't tell the priorities! Even if you don't care about your own life, you still have to think about your father, your mother, your wife and your children. Life?" Li Zheng cursed angrily upon hearing this.
"Li Zheng, you go, I won't leave. If the flood really comes, I will climb on the roof."
A villager thought he was smart and said.
"You are still climbing on the roof, why don't you climb up to the sky. Your house is a mud house. When the flood comes, the house will be destroyed!"
Li Zheng heard this. , and scolded him even more harshly.
"Transfer them all to me. No one can be left in Xiaozhao Village. Anyone who stays in Xiaozhao Village will be opened by me and he will be expelled from Xiaozhao Village." Li Zheng did not give everyone a chance to discuss, and directly ordered .
After hearing Li Zheng's threat to be expelled from the village, the villagers did not dare to make any further claims and went back to pack their things honestly.
In this era, once you are expelled from the village, life will be difficult. If you have no land or house, you will become a refugee.
Under Li Zheng's strong force, the villagers of Xiaozhao Village supported the old and the young, carried their baggage, and drove pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. to start the migration.
When various places in Jingnan began to mobilize and relocate, the neighboring Taiping County and Linhai County were already flooded, especially in Taiping County, the situation was even more serious. Within the jurisdiction of Taiping County, there are many rivers such as Xiangxi, Machuan River, Qingxi River, Yangxi River, Shuxi River, Zhuxi River, Lingyang River, etc., and the terrain is somewhat complex, which is prone to flooding. Last night, the Machuan River and Qingxi River in Taiping County had flooded. Several villages in the lower reaches of the two rivers were flattened by the flooding overnight.
During the day today, the situation in Taiping County was even worse. The overflowing river was like a crazy beast, roaring and flooding the area for more than ten miles. The town of Machuan, which is closest to the Machuan River, was flooded.
The new magistrate of Taiping County hurriedly organized flood control and disaster relief, but it was too late to save the day. Emergency reports of floods came one after another. Even Taiping County was flooded, and the rainwater in the Taiping County Yamen Courtyard did not reach the ankles.
Recalling that time, Taiping Magistrate Hui’s intestines turned green, and he went crazy. He found the discarded letter from the trash can, and stuffed it in regardless of the stains on it. In the mouth. (End of this chapter)
