The patriarch's face showed embarrassment. He had thought of this method before, but there was really no way to get out.
"Several military masters don't know that the road out of the village has been flooded, and we can't go out."
The centurion smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we have brought a boat, you get on the boat quickly, and we will transfer you to Jiangbei."
Before the patriarch had time to ask too much, several other people quickly took out their gongs and started beating in the village.
While knocking, he shouted loudly: "The dam is about to break, everyone move quickly! The dam is about to break, everyone quickly evacuate."
With a loud shout, all the people who were planning to hide in the house ran out quickly, followed closely behind the army, got into a small boat, and retreated towards the outside of the village.
Fortunately, they had been notified a few days ago about the preparations for the retreat, and they really didn't have anything to bring.It took the whole village less than a cup of tea from issuing the order to retreating.
During the torrential rain, the villagers did not show any panic on their faces. They fully cooperated with the army and moved out one after another.
The Huaihe River is long, and there are so many people living on both sides of the river. This kind of scene will only happen in one or two places, but it will definitely not happen in every place.
Some villages that were too late to be transferred could only be submerged by ruthless floods, but compared with other states and counties, the number of casualties in Jiujiang can be said to be very small.
More importantly, they have a large amount of food, grass and supplies. After the flood recedes, they can quickly relieve the victims and ensure the peace of mind.
In the same Huaihe River, other places are not as lucky as Jiujiang.
This heavy rain, starting from Lingling, directly affected the vast majority of areas south of the Yangtze River, and even the entire basin of the Huaihe River to the north of the Yangtze River.The flood flowed down the river and all entered the boundary of Yangzhou.
The Jiujiang section was originally a dangerous area, but under the management of Cao Anmin, the flood peak quickly passed and entered the downstream.
But compared with Jiujiang, Jiangdong in the lower reaches is terrible.
At first, many people were still thankful that the heavy rain came in time and saved some food, but as the heavy rain continued, the voice of speaking was completely cut off.
Jiangdong, this rich land, was completely submerged by the flood and became a flood country.
Chapter 58 The Miserable Jiangdong
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Jiangdong was nominally managed by the prefect appointed by the imperial court, but in fact all the places were controlled by prefects.
In order to compete for territory, these prefects wished to devote all their manpower and material resources to the war. How could they consider people's livelihood and flood control.
Now that the flood is flowing down the river, the entire Jiangdong will suffer.
The higher terrain in Kuaiji County in the southeast has little effect, but the rivers in the remaining Danyang, Yuzhang, Lujiang, and Wu counties are rapidly rising, and the low-lying terrain can't let the water flow out, even though Sun Ce has mobilized all the troops to strengthen the dams .But in the face of natural disasters, everything is in vain.
A flood of this magnitude cannot be stopped without a river channel that has been rehabilitated.
In particular, this time is a major flood that is rare in a century.
Chaisang, the headquarters of the Soochow Navy.
The river surged, and the upstream flood flooded back quickly, causing the entire navy of Soochow to suffer completely.
The warships did not have time to do a good job of sheltering from the rain, and most of the small warships sank to the bottom of the water.Large warships also leaked due to the strong wind and waves, and the bottom of the ship collided with each other.The Soochow Navy, built over the years, was wiped out in a few days.
This terrible drought and flood disaster did not exist in history.
But because of the appearance of Cao Anmin, the butterfly's wings fluttered gently, not only the direction of history changed, but even the weather was overwhelmed.
In Chaisang City, most of the houses were washed away by the flood, and corpses were floating on the water.
The common people were greatly surprised. Those who could run had already left, and those who could not escape were hiding in high places, staring blankly at everything in front of them.
After the heavy rain stopped for a while, the soldiers of the Wu army drove small boats to check the damage in the city.
On the stage, Zhou Yu's face was ashen, and his arms trembled slightly.
This flood came at an inopportune time, otherwise, in at most three years, or even two years, he would be able to build a strong navy.
But now, this rainstorm not only ruined his dream, it may even destroy Jiangdong's foundation.
"Captain."
Zhou Yu looked at the person and nodded slightly.
"How is the situation in the city?"
Han Dang glanced at Cheng Pu, and said bravely, "A rough estimate is that no less than [-]% of the people were killed or injured, and most of the houses were destroyed."
Chaisang was a city specially set up by Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou, and the people living here also migrated from various places in Yuzhang.
A heavy rain directly killed and injured nearly half of the more than 6 civilians.
All efforts were in vain.
"Where's the granary!"
Cheng Pu sighed: "The three granaries in the city were all destroyed by the flood. The loss of the army station is not big."
What worried Zhou Yu most finally happened.
Without food and grass, droughts and floods are followed by starvation everywhere.
"Hurry up and get all the cauldrons from the army, and put them on the city wall. From now on, the people and the army will share the food, and there will be no mistakes."
Cheng and Pu promised to get on the boat quickly and return to the city.
Compared with Chaisang, the situation in Wu County with higher terrain is not bad.
But before he had time to be happy, official documents from dozens of states in the east of the Yangtze River were directly piled up on Sun Ce's desk.
Sun Ce, who has always been proficient in all kinds of literary and martial arts, is completely at a loss.
In addition to counting the number of casualties in all official documents, the most common sentence is asking for food and medicine.
The medicine is okay, but the grain and grass.The flood came quickly, and countless people were displaced and took to the road of escape.Life is so difficult to protect, let alone food and grass.
Sun Ce really hates God, why not give himself a chance.
Jiangdong suffered such catastrophe, let alone three years, even if it took five years, it would be difficult to recover.
The most important thing is that not only he was affected by the disaster, but the Shanyue people were also affected by the disaster.
This group of robbers gathered directly from the mountains, and the brigade attacked and robbed houses, and captured several counties in Kuaiji one after another.
The repeated military disasters and the desperation caused Sun Ce, who had always been hardworking, to fall ill in a hurry.
This time, the Jiangdong group of officials lost their backbone, like ants on a hot pot, and they were in constant panic.
Zhou Yu, who is the supreme commander of the army, is still in Chaisang. In order to stabilize the overall situation, Zhang Zhao, who is the chief historian, had to ask the second son, Sun Quan, to take charge of the government temporarily.
