Looking down from the sky, the busy people on the embankment are like floating ants. They are so humble and so futile.
But if these ants are connected into a piece, these humble people are organized into a giant dragon that is winding on the earth.
As the old saying goes, Chinese people are descendants of the dragon!
The dykes and high earth walls outside Kaifeng City were continuously reinforced and tamped to block the way of floods. But at the same time, smart Chinese people blocked and cleared the floods to guide the huge waves of floods to flow elsewhere.
In the cold wind, the strong Central Plains man was shirtless, exposing his bronze chest.
With pursed lips and resolute eyes, a group of more than ten people raised their eyes high, and then dropped them suddenly.
"Pull up our pile, hey, hey, hey, slowly push forward.
What they shout is just like the Yellow River chant that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years. It is majestic, powerful, simple and unyielding. Generations of Henan athletes are shouting such chants to build and defend their homes on the edge of the Yellow River.
In the floods blocked by the dams, small boats would come up from time to time. The government servants and officials with disheveled hair and wet bodies would curse and throw the weeping people on the boats onto the dam, and then row away with curses.
.
Those who were thrown up were the victims trapped in the countryside outside the city.
In the face of natural disasters, the most miserable ones are not the city dwellers, but them. They face the loess and turn their backs to the sky. They have been working on the land for several lifetimes. They live frugally and still live in poverty. It is they who were destroyed by a heavy rain.
all of.
Their houses, their land, their livestock, the property they have saved from the teeth of their lives over several lifetimes.
A woman hugged her son tightly and kept kowtowing to the officials who were recording them, wailing from her mouth.
Lord, Lord! My boss is still in the water, please go and save me, go and save me!
A man, holding half a bag of grain like a baby, looked at the flood, grinning and crying.
My house, my wheat, my land!
While he was howling, a figure who looked like a yamen secretary came over and kicked him.
What are you howling for? The clerk's eyes were red and he was roaring, "If you howl to the sky, your home will be destroyed!" He kicked me again. Can you go to the embankment to work?
As soon as a man wipes his tears, he can!
Then work, build embankments, and get two meals a day. Damn your aunt, if you do a good job, the Chief Secretary will give you a reward!
The man stood up suddenly, spit into the palm of his hand, hit!
Scenes like this are happening everywhere, and the giant dragon formed by common people on the ground becomes more and more spectacular.
Stretching the camera further forward, the dragon's head is the most dangerous place. The flood here is more rapid, fierce and bigger.
Countless men nailed it like nails and worked hard to build the embankment.
On this embankment are the Kaifeng garrison organized by the Chief Secretary and the King of Zhou.
These big-headed soldiers may not have any sentiments about family, country or world, nor may they like to work as coolies. But they cannot retreat or retreat.
Before Zhu Yunxi came to Henan, as the crown prince of the East Palace, he issued imperial edicts to the world.
Natural disasters broke out and Henan was in chaos. People, whether military or civilian, all had the responsibility to fight disasters and defend the land. The Zhou vassal headquarters, Hekaifeng garrison, officers and soldiers were all ordered to participate in building embankments and providing disaster relief.
When the world is prosperous, every man has a responsibility. If he hesitates and fails to make the first move, and if he steals the merits and fails to contribute, he will be executed. According to the Ming Dynasty, the military law will be implemented!
Brothers, follow me to death! If the flood breaks through the dam, we will be finished in Kaifeng. Once Kaifeng is finished, we men will be finished too!
A third-grade general, the tiger and leopard patch on his chest was covered with mud and water. The originally ferocious tiger and leopard now looked like a poodle.
But he was still roaring desperately to boost the morale of his soldiers, just like fighting.
Once we've defended it and built it, the higher ups can't do us any harm. What kind of mother-in-law......... can eat whatever good wine and meat she wants!
Sir! A soldier shouted in the flood, I don’t want meat and wine, I don’t have a wife!
My aunt, please do your best. I'll let you touch a few of my concubines later!
Hahaha! In the flood, those men who stood firm with gritted teeth laughed loudly.
The general was akimbo, laughing wildly with his brothers in the flood, when suddenly his buttocks hurt, and a dog pooped directly into the water.
I wish you...under the subscript, see the thousand-year-old King of Zhou!
King Zhu Zhu of Zhou had a cold face. How long has it been since you started talking about dirty things? On what occasion did you become so unscrupulous?
How about saying a few dirty words?
Didn't he steal your concubine?
The general was cursing in his heart when suddenly his eyes froze and he opened his eyes wide like a fool.
In his sight, Zhu Yunxi was struggling to carry a load and threw the sandbags inside heavily into the water. The brown flood water soaked the corners of his dragon robe.
God, what am I looking at? The general said to himself.
Zhu Yunxi shook off his sweat, rubbed his shoulders, and said to Li Jinglong, "Old Li, even if he is surrounded by tens of thousands of guards, he is like a garrison, never leaving the river embankment." After saying that, he spoke solemnly and said to them, "Well done."
I only use my military exploits in the field to describe my merits!
Li Jinglong breathed heavily and said with a smile, Your Highness, don't worry, your sons will fight bravely. Then, he said, Your Highness, these men will do the rough work, please rest. The people of the country are tied to you, and I know that you love the people.
However, if it hurts the body, it hurts the foundation of Ming Dynasty!
Zhou Wang Zhu Ji also quickly said, "Yes, Your Highness, just do these things for a show!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi was immediately unhappy.
But Li Jinglong had already spoken first, "Your Majesty, I think your words are wrong. Your Highness is far more benevolent than the ancients, and even the wise rulers of the past generations are not as good as him. Why do you say it for show?"
How dare you fucking talk to me like that? You forgot how my fourth brother and I beat you when we were kids!
King Zhou cursed secretly in his heart and said quickly, Your Highness, I didn’t mean that, I was thinking about your safety!
At this time, the general kneeling in the water suddenly pulled his neck and shouted.
Sir, Zhang Daniao, the commander of the Kaifeng Guards... No, Zhang Dabiao, I’m going to see the emperor’s grandson Qiansuishui, Qianqiansui!
Hula, the sound of neat obeisances on the embankment covered up the waves of the flood.
Everyone, get up, don’t kneel! Zhu Yunxi shouted, stand up and stop the flood!
As soon as they knelt down, two waves rolled up. The soldiers were so frightened that they quickly joined hands to form a human wall in the flood.
Is everything okay? Zhu Yunxi asked Zhang Dabiao.
The latter's Adam's apple moved, and everything was fine! Then, his rough face turned a little sad, that is, there were a few people under my command who were unlucky, and they were swept away by the flood, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead!
Not knowing whether to live or die is tantamount to already.........
Tell them their names, and Ming Dynasty will take good care of their wives and children! As he said that, Zhu Yunxi looked at the men standing in the flood, and looked at the flesh and blood shield in the wave.
You are good men who opened up territory for the Ming Dynasty. It’s a grievance for you to work on the embankment today!
Zhu Yunxi continued to say loudly, but the damage of floods is ten times greater than that of the enemy. If there are enemies, it will only damage a city and a place, but natural disasters will destroy half of the people in the Ming Dynasty.
You are soldiers, but you come from a common people's family. Your parents, wives, and children are all here. During the war, the three armies of my Ming Dynasty King's Division fought bravely, and when fighting disasters, I, the Chinese man, competed for the first place!
Your meritorious service will be remembered in Kaifeng, Henan, and the people of China.
Heaven will remember it, earth will remember it, and the world will remember it!
When the flood subsides, I will personally erect a monument for you on the dam here!
Heroes are on the battlefield, and descendants protect their hometown.
A strong man does not hesitate to die, just for the sake of the sun and the moon!
The emperor's grandson stood on the embankment and spoke loudly.
These rough guys didn't understand what it meant, but they just felt that His Highness Chitose's words made their blood boil. Now let them plunge into the flood and drown without blinking an eye.
Zhang Dabiao took the lead, and the voices of the men on the embankment shook the sky. His Highness is a thousand years old!
Amidst the roaring shouts, the kings Zhou Ji and the chief minister Hou Yong looked at each other with great surprise.
Zhu Yunxi first raised his hands, then bowed, and shouted out the words he once said when he went on a military expedition for Lan Yu.
The soldiers and men who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country and the country may live a thousand years!
The wind is blowing loudly.
Wave, beat beat.
People, but silent.
Zhu Yunxi said loudly again, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Zhou Wang Zhu Ji looked at Zhu Yunxi with new emotions in his heart.
Fourth brother, believe it or not. If you encounter these Henan soldiers on the battlefield, these people will not surrender to you even if they are all dead!
