Soon, hundreds of local soldiers from Xingyang were transferred to Xingze Ferry to block the breach.
"In fact, these officers and soldiers were puzzled when they first arrived. How could they have done such a thing before as they served as soldiers to eat food?
Everyone lined up in the rain to finish. Although it was raining heavily, they still stood neatly. At first glance, they looked like an army capable of fighting. Such an army is rare in hinterlands like Henan.
Huang Mingyuan rode his horse to the people and said loudly: "Soldiers, the Yellow River broke its banks today. The biggest breach is at the Yingze Ferry in front of you. The water of the Yellow River flows south from here and floods your homes. Today I mobilize you to come here , just to block this gap with me and protect our own homeland."
"It's the Duke of Lu!"
"It's the Duke of Lu!"
"The Duke of Lu has come to save us Xingyang people."
"Compared with Huang Mingyuan's new title of Duke of Wei, the title of Duke of Lu after the Northern Expedition to the Turks is more remembered by the people. Over the years, Huang Ming's story of destroying the Turks in the far north and Tuyuhun in the west has influenced countless young people.
"Brothers, the Duke of Lu has come to save us, the people of Xingyang, and we will follow his lead!"
So the crowd became excited and those who responded gathered.
Huang Mingyuan looked at the leader, who was about thirty years old, with a majestic body and a dignified appearance, so he asked: "What is your name and what is your current position?"
The man immediately straightened his body and replied loudly: "The last general, Quan Xu, is currently the Ying Yang Lang General of Bei Ying Yang Mansion in Xingyang County."
The surname Quan is rare, so Huang Mingyuan asked: "Do you recognize Quan Xun, the former general manager of Lingzhou?"
"It's my father!"
When Huang Mingyuan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "There really is no place in the world that has nothing to do with the Long family. It is said that two-thirds of the six hundred military mansions in the Sui Dynasty belonged to the Guanlong family. You really don't deceive me."
Quanxu¡¯s grandfather was a public servant in Shangluo County of the Western Wei Dynasty. He lived in Fengyang, Shangyong (today¡¯s southwest of Zhushan, Hubei Province) and was known as Ba Yi. His son Quan Zhongzun and his grandson Quan Yun successively inherited the dukedom of Shangluo County until the great cause was abolished. The whole family is considered a marginal family among the Guanlong family. It is worth mentioning that Quanxu married Dou Rongding's daughter, so he was Yang Jian's niece and son-in-law. He later participated in Yang Jian's affairs on behalf of the Zhou Dynasty, and became the supreme general in charge of Lingzhou.
Of course, Huang Mingyuan is an employer, and he doesn¡¯t care about Quan Xu¡¯s identity.
Huang Mingyuan ordered Quan Xu to be the commander and directly led his troops to plug the breach.
Not long after, Dai Zhou also brought thousands of people to support him.
Everyone dug up soil on the spot and put it into sacks to make sandbags. Sandbags were first blocked on both sides of the breach to prevent the length of the breach from continuing to expand.
Not long after, three large ships from Yingze County came down from the upper reaches and came to the gap.
Huang Mingyuan directly asked these ships to sink themselves on the spot at the breach to serve as a water barrier. After the ship sank in the breach, everyone carried sandbags and threw them into the breach. Hundreds of sandbags were thrown into the water, and the water was immediately blocked.
Huang Mingyuan also ordered hundreds of wooden stakes to be laid on the outside of the embankment and penetrated deep into the ground to act as a fence to block the sandbags being impacted outward.
At this time, the river is like a roaring dragon, never willing to be controlled by others. Therefore, the river water kept rushing towards the breach, trying to escape. The newly built temporary embankment immediately began to withstand the impact of the river water and was on the verge of collapse.
"The embankment must be strengthened, Quan Xu, take your people and put two layers of sandbags on the inside of the wooden piles."
Quan Xu immediately shouted in victory: "Duke Wei, this new embankment can't hold on anymore, there's no time at all."
"Asshole!"
Huang Mingyuan roared immediately. He could not see that the new embankment could not hold up, but he had to hold on even if he could not, otherwise he would fail in his efforts.
"Immediately find a long rope and make it into a human wall and berm."
"Duke Wei!"
"Prime Minister!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock after hearing this. They had never heard of a human embankment. There is a rolling flood on the opposite side, which cannot be stopped by human power.
Seeing the appearance of everyone, Huang Mingyuan knew that it was useless to persuade them, and even giving orders was useless. Only by setting an example and taking the lead can we mobilize these people. After all, the officers and soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were not soldiers of the people.
Huang Mingyuan didn't answer, and immediately picked up a hemp rope and tied it around his waist. The remaining heroes, Kuo Hai and other guards also followed suit.
Yu Wenkai, Quan Xu, Dai Zhou and others were all shocked.
Huang Mingyuan said with a normal expression: "What's surprising? If you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it's better to go home and nurse your children. The people provide??I am waiting, not just for this moment. "
"Prime Minister!"
At this time, Dai Zhou and others had tears in their eyes. They could not believe that a prime minister-level official would risk his life for the sake of the people.
Quanxu grabbed the hemp rope and said loudly: "Mr. Wei, let me come!"
Huang Mingyuan smiled and said: "I have led troops to fight for more than ten years, but I have no habit of running away from battle."
So Quan Xu and others tied hemp ropes around their bodies to form a human wall. Dai Zhou also wanted to follow suit, but was stopped by Huang Mingyuan, and someone had to direct and block the gap.
At this time, Yu Wenkai grabbed Huang Mingyuan's hand and said: "Xiangguo, why is this, why is this? If there are not a large number of civilians, how can the prime minister go into battle in person?"
Huang Mingyuan said: "We are different from them. We soldiers are born to protect our families and our country. This is our mission and we will remain committed to it until death."
Yu Wenkai couldn't understand this feeling. In his opinion, their lives were precious, and those common people were untouchables, and they were supposed to do such despicable things. Huang Mingyuan's actions could cost him his life if he was not careful. Not worth it.
But Huang Mingyuan told him today what it means to be worthy.
Everyone held hands and formed a human-shaped embankment, rushing towards the rolling flood.
Seeing this, the water of the Yellow River immediately roared and attacked them. Seeing the waves attacking the human wall one after another, many people were so scared that they closed their eyes.
Huang Mingyuan and the people on both sides tightly hugged each other's arms, and they were pinned to the ground like a stone.
Someone was knocked down by the waves, and people on both sides immediately lifted him up. Therefore, although the waves are turbulent, the human wall seems to be as if it is nothing in front of the waves. However, despite the waves, the human wall remains unmoving.
The people on the shore were also shocked. They only saw soldiers bullying others, but never saw soldiers working so hard. I heard that there is also a high-ranking official inside. He is a good official.
Dai Zhou and his men desperately poured sandbags onto the breach. The layers of sandbags and wooden piles echoed each other, repairing the original eroded embankment bit by bit.
Huang Mingyuan and others did not know how long they had been soaking in the river. In this October weather, people were already freezing.
When the embankment was built, the river water was blocked in the river channel, and the water flow outside the embankment gradually decreased, and everyone couldn't help but cheer loudly. Until then, the human wall that had been protecting the embankment slowly spread out. Everyone fell to the ground and could not get up. Everyone was exhausted.
