Chapter 725 It's sunny

"Flood discharge..."

Su Yonglin frowned, chanting this unfriendly term, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

Flood discharge is one of the ways to prevent and control floods. When the flood is so large that conventional methods are useless, it is necessary to use some areas to divert the flood to reduce the flooding risk of the main road and save the overall situation with flooding in one place.

Of course, this is good for the overall situation, but it is obviously not so friendly to the local flood discharge.

However, this method has been one of the means of water control until modern times. Before the emergence of more effective methods of water control, this is the ultimate method.

After discussions, the General Headquarters of the Renaissance decided that if the problem is too big and the rain cannot be stopped, then certain areas should be selected for active flood discharge to reduce the overall risk.

"Flood discharge is the ultimate means, not the solution. In any case, before you are completely helpless, you must not rashly discharge the flood. You must do your best and don't hold back."

Su Yonglin thought for a while, and then said, "I will stay in Kaifeng to handle government affairs during this period of time until the rainy season is over. If there is anything you can't decide during this period, report it to me directly, and I will decide it myself."

"Will this not delay things? Alang, if you stay away from the Central Capital..."

"There will be no accident in China, but Kaifeng is likely to have an accident. If an accident occurs in Kaifeng, I will not be safe in China. It is better to stay in Kaifeng directly. After the problem is solved, go back. Don't have any concerns and do your best."

"I get it, and I'll do my best."

Tian Guizi felt relieved and went all out.

Day by day, the rain in Henan continued unabated, sometimes stopped, sometimes with thunder and lightning, and poured rain.

The old flood soldiers in Taohuayu warned many times that the Yellow River embankments in Huazhou, Caozhou and Shanzhou were in danger many times. Ask for help.

So Tian Guizi issued an order that the Henan Corps dispatched troops to stand firmly on the Yellow River embankments in Huazhou, Caozhou and Sanzhou, with the army taking the lead, supplemented by auxiliary soldiers and civilians, and making every effort to raise and strengthen the Yellow River embankment to avoid flooding.

By August 21st, the water level of the Yellow River continued to rise, and the Sanzhou Levee was crumbling. Seeing the danger of flooding, Su Yonglin couldn't sit still.

So he decided to rush to Huazhou, where the situation was the most dangerous, and regardless of Tian Guizi's obstruction, he personally hurried to Huazhou Yellow River Embankment for inspection.

Leading the army to stick here is Xu Ang, the commander of the Second Division of the Henan Corps' subordinate to the Second Division.

At that time, he served as the guard of Anxi County when Wanyanliang went south, and tried to protect Xi County from being lost. Later, during the great counter-offensive, he made a lot of military exploits, beheading several golden generals, and was promoted. He was established in the Henan Corps. When he was in the army, he was promoted to division commander and followed Zhang Yuejing into Henan, where he was stationed in Henan.

This time, I learned that the headquarters had ordered the death of the Sanzhou Embankment, and many troops of the Henan Corps actively fought. Xu Ang took the lead in the battle, and with permission, he led [-] soldiers of the Second Division to the Huazhou Embankment for emergency support.

At that time, He Dong, the magistrate of Baima County in Huazhou and a member of Fuxing, was standing here. After Xu Ang led the troops to help, he and He Dong fought hand in hand with more than 3 auxiliary soldiers and civilian husbands for more than half a month, and visited the front line several times. Carrying sandbags to reinforce the embankment has never caused the Huazhou embankment to collapse.

On August 22, Su Yonglin went to Huazhou Embankment to inspect.

At that time, the rain was about to stop, and Su Yonglin didn't care about anything else, so he immediately let more than [-] accompanying escorts rush up to fight side by side with the Huazhou military and civilians, and take advantage of this time to reinforce and raise the embankment.

The news that the emperor visited the embankment in person and dispatched the Janissaries to help build the embankment inspired people's hearts, and the troops and civilians who were standing here were immediately inspired, and rushed to the embankment together, working in full swing.

Under the heavy rain, Su Yonglin personally boarded the levee accompanied by Tian Guizi, Xu Ang and He Dong. Looking at the surging Yellow River water in the levee, Su Yonglin felt that the problem was quite serious.

If the levee falls, the turbulent Yellow River pours out, and Huazhou can become a swamp country in an instant.

He turned his head and said to Xu Ang and He Dong beside him: "The water is too strong, and we must not abandon the Huazhou embankment unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, not only Huazhou will suffer, but several surrounding state capitals will be destroyed, and the victims will not be less than 30 households! Remember, abandoning the Huazhou embankment is a last resort! A last resort!"

Xu Ang immediately made a statement.

"The embankment is there and the embankment is completely safe, and the final commander will never leave. If the embankment falls, there is no need to severely punish the final commander. The Yellow River water will severely punish the final commander!"

He Dong also followed suit.

"This minister is a local county magistrate. If the embankment is lost, it is equivalent to the city being captured by the enemy army. The minister has no face to see His Majesty, and the only thing is to die!"

Su Yonglin held the hands of the two of them.

"Don't die, let me live! This is the death order that the Daming Emperor gave you! In the event of a last resort, the levee can give up, but all people must come back. If there is one less person, you can wait for the guilt!"

"According to the order!"

The two spoke in unison.

About an hour later, the rain began to fall again, and everyone fought hard despite the wind and rain. Seeing that the water level continued to rise, the situation was too dangerous. Tian Guizi desperately tried to take Su Yonglin away from the headquarters not far from the embankment. Ensure Su Yonglin's safety.

Su Yonglin firmly refused.

"I am already in a safe place, but they are still desperate, how can I leave? If I leave, what will they think? Do they still dare to work hard? I can't go, the emperor's banner can't go, pin it for me Here, until the last minute!"

Su Yonglin stared at Tian Guizi with red eyes: "This is the emperor's order! Guizi, do you want to resist the order?!"

Only then did Tian Guizi realize that Su Yonglin's stubbornness was really stubborn, so he looked at Su Yong who came with him, and hinted with his eyes that Su Yong would carry Su Yonglin and take him away.

Su Yong got Tian Guizi's hint and tried to step forward to take Su Yonglin away, but Su Yonglin was also a brave person who had been on the battlefield, and he stepped aside and kicked Su Yong away.

"I said it for the last time! I absolutely can't leave here! Whoever dares to take me away will be punished for the crime of deceiving the king!"

Tian Guizi and Su Yong couldn't disobey Su Yonglin's orders after all, but they couldn't just watch Su Yonglin face danger.

So Tian Guizi could only secretly order his subordinates to knock Su Yonglin out when he had to, and take him to a safe place quickly.

Even if he was convicted afterwards, he admitted it.

Anyway, Daming couldn't live without Su Yonglin.

After another quarter of an hour, the rain continued to increase instead of decreasing. The rainfall became heavier and the water level continued to rise. The situation on the levee was very serious. Xu Ang sent someone to the command post to ask Su Yonglin to leave as soon as possible and go to a safe place.

If the rain does not decrease, they will discuss the possibility of active flood discharge.

But Su Yonglin still shook his head.

"Isn't it the last moment? I won't leave until they really decide to release the flood. As long as I can persevere, I won't leave!"

With that said, Su Yonglin ordered his subordinates to bring over the big drum that was used to convey orders, and then picked up the drumstick and played the big drum himself.

He also ordered the guards to beat the drums with him, just as he did to cheer for the soldiers fighting on the front lines on the battlefield.

Due to his status, he can't fight with them at the forefront, but at least he won't back down.

The deep and distant sound of drums broke through the rain curtain and reached the ears of the soldiers and civilians who were fighting on the dam. They wiped the rain on their faces and looked back.

They saw that not far away, where the command post was, the banner representing the identity of the emperor was still standing there and did not leave.

Maybe it was because of Su Yonglin's insistence, or maybe it was because the soldiers and civilians who were fighting on the dam saw the emperor's banner erected behind them and never left. Despite the heavy rain and thunder, they did not lose this battle against God. Battle of the Embankment.

After Su Yonglin played the big drum for nearly half an hour, the rain gradually stopped.

The Huazhou Embankment was in many dangers, but it did not fall. The nearly [-] soldiers and civilians who participated in the battle successfully guarded their homes behind them and kept the embankment. After all, the turbulent Yellow River did not get out of control.

Another quarter of an hour later, a ray of sunlight pierced through the gray clouds and sprinkled on the ground.

The sky is clear.
