I became famous for broadcasting my life as a social animal to different dynasties
Chapter 114: The Great Flood
Many shrewd emperors and ministers also thought of this and could only sigh and shake their heads.
However, some not-so-smart emperors were dissuaded by their ministers when they wanted to implement it. If they continued to implement it as they did in later generations, the court would be finished!
For the sake of his throne, which had an heir, the not-so-wise emperor had to suppress his ambitions.
I sigh helplessly: Alas! My ability to govern the country is wasted!
Ministers:…
Come on! If we hadn't stopped you, the dynasty would have changed long ago!
After the video was played, Pan Jixun solemnly thanked Zhou Jinyu.
Zhou Jinyu was so grateful that she couldn't sit still. This was a water conservancy master who benefited the people! She just played a video, she couldn't bear it!
Then he quickly read the next one: "No. 12, Yang Xiaobin of the Qing Dynasty."
Yang Xiaobin is an ordinary villager in a certain village. In the envious eyes of everyone, he said stiffly: "I, I just saw a small picture on it saying 98 major floods... I want to see that, can I?"
"Of course!" Zhou Jinyu had heard about this matter, but she was not very clear about the specific situation because she was still very young at that time.
The people calmed down. It was a huge flood! Did the future also encounter a huge flood? !
I wonder how they cope with it?
How many people died?
The various dynasties also held their breath to see how future courts would deal with this devastating flood.
[In mid-June 98, due to the El Nino phenomenon, heavy rains fell in Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and other regions.]
[In Poyang Lake, water poured into the Yangtze River at a rate of cubic meters per second, and the water level began to rise sharply. Some villagers recalled that when they were putting on clothes to escape at night, the water was still at their knees, and after they put on their clothes, it had already flooded to their chests.]
[At the same time, military commands in various regions quickly dispatched troops to the Yangtze River coast to fight floods.]
【And the floods are getting worse.】
[The Three Gorges Project waters were completely closed to navigation. Ten days later, Wuhan was hit by a once-in-a-century rainstorm. Immediately afterwards, the first wave of destructive impact of the flood hit Banzhou Bay upstream of Wuhan.]
[That night, the levee suddenly broke, the flood uprooted trees as thick as bowls, and rows of houses collapsed in an instant! ]
The scene on the sky curtain made everyone's face change drastically!
Some people even collapsed to the ground and couldn't move. Flood! Flood is coming!
For the first time, the emperor and his ministers saw the horror of the flood so clearly and directly, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Ying Zheng was speechless for a long time.
Li Si was covered in cold sweat, with only one sentence left in his mind: Heaven and earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs!
Liu Bang jumped up in a hurry and said, "Quick! From today on, arrange for people to keep an eye on the rivers around Chang'an and report any movement to us!!"
Chang'an is surrounded by eight rivers!
If these eight rivers were to overflow, the people in Chang'an city would not be able to escape!
The faces of the people from the Three Kingdoms changed drastically. Some hurried to check the rivers near them, while others quietly moved their families to higher ground.
Some people even spent all their wealth to live at the foot of Mount Tai, and prices of all kinds of goods in the towns at the foot of Mount Tai rose rapidly.
The shrewd businessman smiled from ear to ear.
Ordinary people secretly made a note in their hearts that if there was a flood, they should run towards Mount Tai!
Cao Pi was so anxious that he hurried to ask Cao Cao whether he should move the administrative center to the foot of Mount Tai.
Cao Cao glanced at him and said: "There is no need to run away from a small flood, but you can't run away from a big flood. So why are you running?"
Cao Pi: “…”
Father, why are you so calm? Aren't you afraid?
Li Shimin was filled with awe: even though later generations were so developed, they still suffered from terrible flood disasters!
The laws of this world have always been equal.
When Zhao Kuangyin thought of the Yellow River hanging over Kaifeng Prefecture, he shuddered in his heart. This flood was too terrible!
It is totally beyond human resistance...
Kublai Khan wanted to see what measures future generations would take to deal with such a flood.
Zhu Yuanzhang recalled his childhood, when droughts and floods made it difficult for people to survive...
Kangxi also ordered people to follow the example of later generations and set up monitoring stations along the rivers to observe the dynamics of the river water. Even though they did not have such advanced instruments as those of later generations, they could still provide some prevention.
Another thing is to recruit talents familiar with water conservancy from all over the world, hoping to minimize the water damage of the Yellow River.
Qianlong, who had been ill for a while, finally went out for a walk with the help of palace servants. As a result, as soon as he went out, he saw a huge flood on the sky, rushing towards him like a muddy beast.
Qianlong didn't even make a sound, his eyes rolled back and he fainted again.
"emperor!"
"emperor!!"
The palace maids around him shouted in panic and sent someone to call the imperial physician.
After moving the person onto the dragon bed, the palace maid had a bitter face: It's over, it's over! I can't see the sky curtain again today! !
Oh my God! Send me to the cold palace!
Yongyan rushed over, inquired about the cause, told the imperial physician to take a good look at the patient, and then left.
The flood issue is more important.
The people were so distressed by what they saw that the sky seemed as vast as an ocean.
Only a few houses had not collapsed. Some people were standing on the roofs calling for help. The roar of the flood and the people's screams mixed together, which was heartbreaking.
Some people started crying loudly as they watched, and no one stopped them. Some people even sobbed along.
There was a suffocating atmosphere among the crowd.
[The central government held an emergency meeting and required the troops to fully devote themselves to the front line of flood control and rescue to ensure the safety of the levees, the city, and the lives and property of the people.]
The three powerful assurances shocked everyone.
"Who did they say would go to fight the floods and carry out rescue operations?" someone asked incredulously.
"It seems to be a soldier..." The person who heard it clearly answered hesitantly.
"I don't believe it. Those soldiers would do the same thing! They might even run faster than anyone else!"
"Maybe they came here to extort money from the people. There's a flood, even if they killed someone, who knows!"
"…But this is an order from the imperial court after all, so they will just do their job no matter what."
An old man sneered: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away, who knows!"
Everyone fell silent.
There were military commanders in various dynasties who were dissatisfied: "Soldiers are supposed to win battles on the battlefield! How can they do such things?"
"That's right! Isn't the person who gave this order afraid of causing a mutiny?"
"With such a big flood, even if the soldiers went there, there would be nothing they could do. They would just be sending themselves to die!"
"Indeed, it's a complete waste of manpower."
However, the emperors felt that it was impossible for officers and soldiers not to follow orders. Judging from past performance, officials in later generations had strong execution capabilities.
It is unlikely that orders would be disobeyed, especially in the face of such a major event.
