Daming heir

Chapter 495 People are in the river!North and South Urgent Report!

The ground began to tremble.

The thick and high embankment swayed constantly.The gravel and small pieces of bricks on the embankment actually jumped on the ground.

Waves of air swooped down from the upper reaches, entrained the fine dust, and set off a layer of dust all over the river. The huge air waves pushed the dust and swished on people's bodies, making jingle bells The sound, sliding to the face, is painful.

In the blink of an eye, the river water on the river bed dropped by half its height.

There are highlands under the river bed, even to the extent that they are faintly visible.

As the governor of the river, Pan Deshan and the Yellow River have been teaching for a long time. Looking at the current situation, he knows very well that the upper reaches are really broken.

And the dams built upstream to intercept and divert river water so as to build dams for reducing dams must all fail.

This is a man-made flood.

From Luoyang City to Shanzhou City, and the river going upstream, all rushed down in one go.

Pan Deshan clenched his hands tightly into fists.

He really didn't understand why this happened.

The purpose of the dam is not to intercept the entire upper reaches of the Yellow River, but to temporarily divert the river water so that the river workers under the governor's yamen can build a water-reducing dam that will be used for a long time and function in the lower section of the dam. .

What went wrong?
Pan Deshan couldn't figure it out for a while, and the vibration from his feet became more and more intense.

Before he had time to think any more, he opened his mouth and roared angrily, "Run! Let the river workers run! Everyone move down the embankment!"

Now no one knows how big the head of the flood peak coming down the upstream is.

If it is too turbulent, then anyone standing on the embankment may be trapped in the river by the flood.

In fact, there is no need for Pan Deshan to shout.

None of the river workers on the embankment have lived on both sides of the Yellow River all their lives.

The movement happening upstream is the best signal.

When the guards rushed down with their horses, the river workers had already started to run from the embankment to the embankment in a panic but orderly manner.

The officials of Hedao Governor's Yamen guarded Pan Deshan, their faces were terrified, and they held Pan Deshan's arm.

"Governor, let's go!"

All the officials present showed uneasiness, but as the governor, Pan Deshan stood still, and there was absolutely no way for them to escape the embankment first.

"Governor! Let's go!"

"If you don't go, no one knows what will happen if the upstream water comes down."

"Governor, this time it must have been an accident. When the flood peak passes, I will immediately go upstream to investigate the situation and find out what went wrong."

"There is an accident in the river today, the Sansi Yamen will definitely come to inquire and investigate, and the imperial court will definitely inquire and move. You must ensure your health, Governor, and nothing will happen!"

The officials around Pan Deshan spoke out one after another to persuade him.

These people are nervous and uneasy because of the approaching flood peak, but they also have considerations to find out the truth after the accident.

And Pan Deshan, as the governor of the river and the minister of river control appointed by the imperial court, anyone can have accidents, but he is the only one who can never have any accidents.

Otherwise, all the efforts of everyone here will be wiped out by this flood!
Pan Deshan's footsteps have already moved.

He can clearly distinguish the persuasion of the officials.

just.

Pan Deshan, who had just turned around and took a step, stopped suddenly.

Under the nervous eyes of everyone, Pan Deshan turned around again, stood back to his original position, and pressed his hands on the pair of bluestone strips.

Governor's Yamen Tongzhi's face was ashen, and he said anxiously: "Governor, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

The water level on the river bed, which was originally falling, has begun to rise again.

This is a sign that the water upstream is about to wash down.

The huge roar echoed in everyone's cochlea, almost tearing people's eardrums apart.

Pan Deshan, however, seemed to have taken root under his feet.

"Go down the embankment first!"

After finishing speaking, Pan Deshan fixed his eyes on the water mist that was getting closer and closer upstream.

The officials who had already raised their steps to leave the embankment hurriedly surrounded them again.

"Governor, now is not the time to hold on!"

"If this flood peak is too extreme, even the river workers who were born on the Yellow River will not be able to bear it!"

Some people were even more anxious, shouting at the guards who came down from the upper reaches.

"Come on!"

"Lift the governor down the embankment!"

The guards saw the upstream flood peak with their own eyes.

Hearing Shangguan's words, he rushed in immediately.

Pan Deshan frowned, glanced at the guards with cold eyes, and then said coldly: "Even if the upstream dams and dams collapse, there must be remnants of the foundation, which will block the impact of the river under the river bed! A section of the river in Kaifeng Prefecture will be destroyed this year. It has been reinforced and heightened.

This officer will not leave!This official will be with the river embankment today!

I want to see with my own eyes whether the river channel built by me and you can withstand this flood! "

While speaking, Pan Deshan subconsciously clenched his hands into fists due to nervousness, which was pressing on the pile of bluestone strips.

The joints of both hands also turned white from the clenched fists.

Pan Deshan is not leaving!

The officials present suddenly felt powerless.

If he doesn't leave, even if someone wants to leave now, they can't.

There was a dead look on everyone's face.

I'm afraid I have to explain it here today.

The governor's yamen official, who was born in psychology, suddenly stood on the stone bar beside him.

It's a very young officer.

Everyone knew him.

Yu Min, Yu Jinli.

It is in charge of calculating the money and food for the river workers in the office of the governor of the river.

On weekdays, it can be said that every penny must be counted, and no penny will be given.

But he is also kind, except for money and food, he can be regarded as an outstanding young man.

"Yu Jinli! What are you going to say!"

Yu Min's lips turned white. At this moment, he was facing away from the upstream and facing everyone.

Although I can't see what's behind me, what's going on upstream now.

But the wet and numb air waves scratching his back made him clear that time was running out.

Yu Min opened his mouth, and under the watchful eyes of everyone including Pan Deshan, he shouted loudly: "I have been waiting for the river for years, and what I do is to make the Yellow River calm, and the people on both sides of the river will no longer suffer from disasters.

What happened to the river today, regardless of the actual situation upstream, is all our fault.

What the Governor said is justified. Although the upstream dam and water reduction dam have collapsed, the downstream embankment has been being strengthened.

If we can't even worry about what we do under our own hands, why can we make millions of people on both sides of the strait believe it?Why do you convince the princes above the court?Why should I thank Your Majesty, Prince, and Grandson for their kindness and trust?

today!

I, Yu Jinli, am here with the governor!
People are in the river!

The river collapsed and people died!

I, Yu Jinli, are not leaving either! "

rumbling...

The upstream flood peak finally came down, and the turbulent river water kept hitting the embankments on both banks, splashing thousands of layers of waves.

Waves of water were stirred up one after another, and fell on the embankment like a torrential rain.

Just the waves before the flood peak had already made everyone drenched, their hair messy, their clothes disheveled, and they were in a panic.

The earth seemed to be turning over, and the thickened embankment was being reinforced layer by layer. At this moment, it seemed to be flowing like soft mud, making it difficult for people to stand firmly on their feet.

The people on the embankment could not help but bend down and squat down.

"Don't go!"

"Labor and capital are not leaving either!"

"Today, I will be with the embankment I built!"

"People live in the river! The river collapses and people die!"

"I am ashamed of your majesty, ashamed of my court! After 20 years, I will rule the river for the court again!"

"Mother Xipi! Labor and management are waiting for Hong Feng to come over!"

"..."

Amidst the roar of the huge waves, everyone settled down, and their feet were unexpectedly able to stand firm.

The sound of the wind, the sound of the water, the sound of people.

At this moment, everything is mixed together.

"Hold on!"

"Grab those around you!"

"Don't let go..."

Huge waves are constantly churning under the river embankment, and every time it hits the river bed, a huge wave is set off on the river surface.

Pan Deshan squatted behind the pile of bluestones, shouting at the surrounding officials who hadn't walked down the embankment.

If you don't die this time, you will be able to control the river.

With this group of people who are not afraid of life and death, Daming will be able to tame the big river around him one day, and call this the real Anlan of the Yellow River!

The huge waves roared, and the Yellow River roared.

Between heaven and earth, there is only one color left, and it is difficult to distinguish other objects.

……

Bang!
A loud bang sounded in the courtroom of the chief envoy in Kaifeng City.

Pei Benzhi's face lost all color in an instant.

He glared at the dusty guard who had rushed back from the embankment, and roared angrily: "Governor Pan is leading people on the embankment today, and something happened upstream, you idiots, don't you know how to rescue Governor Pan?" !"

Because today Ben was planning to hold a banquet to treat Pan Deshan leniently, all the people from the three divisions' yamen gathered in the chief envoy's yamen.

In the courtroom, Gao Guang, the inspector of Henan Dao, and Yu Ma, the commander of Henan Dao, also had tense faces and ugly expressions.

When Pei Benzhi was still cursing angrily.

Yu Ma had already stood up, looked at the general in this yamen: "There is an order!"

The generals stood up without thinking.

"The end is here!"

Yu Ma's expression was serious: "Order all the soldiers and horses from the Fucheng Guards to go to the river embankment, rescue the people who were attacked, and look for the officials of the river governor's yamen. Make no mistake, set off immediately!"

"The last general takes orders!"

All the generals took orders one after another, turned around with their hands clasped, and walked out of the chief envoy's yamen vigorously.

During this period of time, everyone in Henan Province knew that river governance was a top priority. Although the governor's yamen used people to death, everything they did was for the people of Henan Province.

No one wants to waste time by doing foreign work at this time.

Gao Guang, who has served as the inspector of Henan Province since the Ministry of Officials, is the most calm at the moment.

He had the poise of an official high above the temple.

Seeing that Yu Ma had already arranged for the soldiers and horses from the capital's yamen to go to the embankment, Gao Guang turned his head to look at the chief envoy with a livid face.

"Pei Fangbo, stay safe and don't be impatient. Right now, we don't know what's going on on the embankment. Governor Pan is also an auspicious man with his own aura. Maybe he has brought people to deal with the water situation now."

Pei Benzhi stood up, put his hands on the table, took a deep breath and let out a long sigh: "I don't know why. At this moment, I should calm down and find out the situation on the river. But Gao Yacha also knows that the imperial court cannot rule the river without The governor’s yamen of Hedao cannot be separated from Governor Pan.”

Gao Gaoguang walked to Pei Benzhi's side: "Governor Pan is a great talent. The court granted him authority, but he only used it to control the river. He never made profits for his own selfishness. Governor Pan's character is obvious to all in Henan Province. Fang Bo is at ease, Pan Nothing will happen to the governor."

Pei Benzhi shook his head, he had already left the main seat and walked outside the yamen.

Gao Guang and Yu Ma followed behind, frowning.

Pei Benzhi walked all the way outside the yamen, and he didn't ask anyone to bring the sedan chair over. He just asked the guards to lead the horses so that they could go to the embankment to check the situation with their own eyes.

And in this waiting time.

Pei Benzhi's face was gloomy, and he said in a solemn tone: "An accident occurred on the river, no matter what happened upstream, the collapse of the dam and the dam is an indisputable fact."

Gao Gaoguang fell silent, this is true.

The dams and water reduction dams built upstream that cost countless money and food have indeed collapsed at this moment.

Pei Benzhi continued: "The imperial court is now implementing a new policy, the Hongwu New Policy! How many people have been changed in the court this year? On the local level, His Royal Highness King Qin has also arrested batch after batch of people.

But is it true that no one is dissatisfied anymore?

Won't!There are still countless people who are dissatisfied with the Hongwu New Deal of this dynasty!

Now that something happened on the river, Governor Pan was pulled up by the grandson and placed on the seat of the governor of the river.

Governor Pan cannot escape the blame for the accident in the river course, and when it comes to the court, the grandson will also be implicated.

At that time, what about the Hongwu New Deal, which is in full swing in this dynasty? "

Gao Guang understands the truth here.

He also looked grave and ugly.

However, things in the imperial court are not something that he, an outsider, can talk about now.

When a few people were still worrying about what happened on the river today, how big a storm would be caused in the court.

The servants of the chief envoy's yamen have already brought horses for the upper officials.

Pei Benzhi's eyes were fixed, and his sharpness was revealed. He quickly stepped down the stairs and got on the horse with the rope.

"You two, go to the embankment with me to see the situation first!"

After finishing speaking, Pei Benzhi whipped his whip heavily.

The horse neighed.

On the street, horseshoes rattled and ran wildly.

……

"drive!"

"drive!"

"drive!"

Da da da……

da da da da da...

Within the territory of Fengyang Mansion in the central capital, across the Huai River, between Guzhen Station and Wangzhuang Station going north, it is rare that there are two government messengers at the same time, going south and going north respectively.

On the official road between Guzhen Station and Wangzhuang Station.

A team of more than a thousand people is moving northward at a constant speed.

This is the team of the emperor's grandson on his northern tour this year.

Early this morning, the team left Fengyang City, crossed the Huai River, and went north along the official road without stopping.

Follow the official road, pass Guzhen Station, Suiyang Station, and Baishan Road Station, and the team will enter Henan Road.

"Fengyang city urgent report!"

"Henan Road Chief Envoy Si Yamen urgently reports!"

The two Xinma teams going north and south almost caught up with the Northern Tour team at the same time.

Zhu Yunxi, who was riding a horse in front of the whole team and chatting with Gao Yangzhi, Bai Yuxiu and other accompanying officials, frowned suddenly when he saw the arriving Xinma.

His heart beat uncontrollably.

A bad premonition was born in my heart.
