Chapter 1,226 Jiangnan Zeguo, especially Jiangsu and Zhejiang
Zhu Pingan learned a few days later that a strong typhoon passed along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, bringing heavy storms and rains for several days. Fortunately, the typhoon bypassed China and turned toward the island country in the northeastern sea.
Landing in China is a blessing among misfortunes. However, due to the impact of this typhoon, heavy rains continued for several days in the Jiangnan area, and eventually the Jiangnan water town Chengze State was hit. According to preliminary statistics, a total of more than 130 counties were hit by the storm.
Severe floods occurred, with Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas being the hardest hit.
Jingnan was not spared the disaster! Although Zhu Pingan mobilized the people to prepare, repair, and repair flood control projects in advance, human beings are still too small in the face of this major flood. Especially when the flood comes from Taiping County and other directions
After the floods came in, several floods merged together, and Jingnan was ravaged by the floods.
However, the efforts of Zhu Ping'an and the people of Jingnan were not in vain. When Taiping County and other places were already ravaged by floods, Jingnan County's flood control project persisted for more than a day before it was declared lost, which gave Jingnan a chance.
day response time.
Zhu Pingan used this day to move the people in the county to higher-lying flood refuge areas. Although Jingnan inevitably suffered from floods, no one in the county died in the floods, and only a few died.
The old man and the child fell a few times during the transfer, but their health was not serious.
"Oh my God, my house, my house was knocked down..."
"Dad, if our house collapsed, wouldn't the rice we just harvested be soaked in water?"
A family in the flood refuge area watched helplessly as their mud house in the distance was soaked and collapsed in the flood. The couple hugged each other and cried out of breath. Although the house was only a mud house, it was
For them, it is almost everything. It is their biggest support to protect themselves from wind and rain and to stand in this world. The house not only contains food and finances that they have not had time to get there, but also their hope.
Now that the house has collapsed, it's as if their lives have also collapsed, and they can't help but feel the sadness flowing back into the river.
There are many sad families like them in the flood refuge area. Most of the villages at this time were mud houses. When the flood came, except for a few brick houses and the lucky mud houses, most of them were destroyed. They
When people come to a flood refuge area in an emergency, they usually carry gold and silver soft goods, bedding, and cattle, sheep and other livestock with them. As for food and other heavy items at home, there is no time to move them out.
Now when the flood comes, the family that has not had time to move out will be soaked by the flood and basically destroyed.
Their homes and belongings were destroyed. For a time, people in the flood refuge area could not help but burst into tears and burst into tears.
"Okay, everyone, don't cry. If the house falls down, it can be rebuilt. If the grain is soaked, it can be planted again. If the property is destroyed, you can make more money. Aren't we all good? This is already a blessing among misfortunes.
It leaves green hills and we don’t have to worry about running out of firewood. When the flood recedes, we can build a new home.”
The gray-haired man was lively and transparent. When he saw the crowd crying, he couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered them up.
"Li Zheng, you always say it's easy, but it's not that easy to build a home again. This is the only thing we can bring out. The rest have been destroyed by the flood, so what can we use to build a home again."
"That's right, Li Zheng. The debt our family incurred when building the house has not yet been repaid. Now that the house is destroyed, how can we build a new home?"
Li Zheng's words inspired some people, but most people were still immersed in sadness and couldn't extricate themselves.
"Do you still have any potential? Our ancestors fled here and started from scratch. At least you are still carrying gold and silver. Besides, you are all young and strong, so what is there to be afraid of?
There are three gangs of one brother, and we all help each other to cut down trees, lay bricks... and build houses. Besides, I believe our county magistrate will also help us."
Li was blowing his beard and staring.
"County Lord?! Don't mention the County Lord, Mr. Lizheng. When the County Lord mobilized us to repair the dykes, saying it was for flood control, we all went there. You have always seen this. But the result was that the dykes were also repaired.
The flood came anyway when it was supposed to come, and we still suffered the disaster we deserved. All our work was in vain, and we still suffered the consequences."
"That's right, when the county magistrate gave the order, my men and children rushed to build the embankment, but they couldn't stop it. As a result, the flood still came, and my house was destroyed by the flood."
Some victims whose homes were destroyed could not accept the facts and blamed Zhu Pingan.
"Asshole! What are you all talking about! Let me tell you! The reason why you are standing here alive is all thanks to the county honor. How can you have the face to arrange the county honor? If it weren't for the county honor's mobilization
The guys repaired the embankment and blocked the flood for a day. How could we have had a chance to escape here? If it hadn't been for the county magistrate, we would have been swept away by the flood to feed the bastards."
When Li Zheng heard these remarks, he was so angry that the veins on his forehead stood out, and he pointed at their noses and cursed them back.
"Everyone of you picks up the bowl to eat, then puts the bowl down to curse! This stinky problem needs to be cured! Old Zhangtou, Old Zhangtou, come here, come here, tell them about your village. You will all know how happy you are.
Already."
While Li Zheng was teaching people in the village who criticized Zhu Ping'an, he waved to an old farmer and invited him to come over.
Lao Zhangtou fled from Taiping County. This flood refuge area is not too far from Taiping County. Some victims of the disaster in Taiping County fled here after hearing that Jingnan County had set up a flood refuge area. Lao Zhangtou fled here.
Zhang Tou is one of them. So far, many victims of the disaster in Taiping County have heard the news and have fled here one after another. Almost every hour or so, more than ten people have fled here from the direction of Taiping County. This flood refuge area
More than 100 refugees from Taiping County have been admitted one after another.
"Li Zheng, what do you want me to say?" Lao Zhangtou was holding a little baby that had just been weaned, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Just tell the truth." Li Zheng said.
"Ahem, let me tell you. Young and old men in Jingnan County, I am Zhang Dashan, and everyone calls me Lao Zhangtou. I am from Xiangyukou Village in Taiping County, which is about twenty miles ahead.
..... Our village suffered a flood the night before yesterday. The whole village was still sleeping. The flood broke the river embankment in front of the village and poured into the village. It was so miserable that everyone cried for their father and mother.
We didn’t even have time, and they were all swept away by the flood. Fortunately, I was outside and pooped my little grandson, and I was lucky enough to escape with my little grandson. Everyone in the family was gone..."
As Lao Zhangtou talked, he couldn't help but shed tears.
"Grandpa don't cry, grandpa don't cry..."
The little baby was still young and didn't know why grandpa cried. He raised his fleshy little hand to wipe his tears.
"Don't cry anymore, Old Zhang. You still have grandchildren. The blood of your Old Zhang family is still there, and the hope is still there."
Li Zheng patted Lao Zhangtou on the shoulder.
"Well, well, as long as my grandson is still here, my old Zhang family will never be a heir." Old Zhang nodded vigorously.
"Did you hear that?! If our county magistrate hadn't led us to repair the embankment and blocked the flood for more than a day, giving us valuable transfer time, our village would not have escaped being swept away by the flood in the middle of the night!"
Li Zheng took the opportunity to teach the villagers a lesson.
After listening to Lao Zhangtou's personal statement, the villagers lowered their heads one by one, and they all figured it out. Indeed, although repairing the dam failed to stop the flood, it gave them a chance to escape. Xiangyukou Village is
Because there was no one to direct flood control in advance, there was no time to respond.
