The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Caozhou government office, Xiao Rui waited for the governor who went to drink while working.

It seems that he also knew that it is not good to go drinking during work, so he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Su Ming pays his respects to His Highness, but he didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince is coming, so he is far away from welcoming you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Xiao Rui frowned, because he could smell the heavy alcohol smell on the governor of Caozhou, especially the alcohol color on his face, which was as rosy as a monkey's butt.

"Your Majesty heard that there was a flood in Caozhou, and he was afraid that it would cause a disaster, so he ordered the palace to come and supervise it. Lord Su, how is the flood now?" Xiao Rui asked.

Su Ming didn't dare to look up at Xiao Rui, and he hesitated, saying: "Reporting to Your Highness, the officials have arranged for the people to clean up the ice on the Yellow River, and a total of more than 800 people have been dispatched! Now the ice flood mainly occurs...in Caozhou The Jinsha River section…”

Xiao Rui was furious all of a sudden, hesitating and spitting out how to behave!

"Shut up and find someone for Bengong who can speak clearly!" Xiao Rui shouted coldly.

Su Ming shivered with fright, and immediately knelt down, trembling all over.

At this moment, a man wearing a commander's robe walked in from outside the yamen. After entering the room, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty Caozhou Metropolitan Commander Zhang Ning, the Commander Zhang Ning, pays homage to His Royal Highness! Your Majesty is willing to serve His Highness." !"

Xiao Rui nodded and asked, "So it's Commander Zhang, are you familiar with Ling Xun's situation?"

Zhang Ning replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, the ice flood started five days ago. At first, there were only signs of ice flood, and it was not serious, so the officials notified Mr. Su and immediately reported the situation to the capital. However, due to the sudden rise in temperature in the past few days, the The large-scale melting of the upper reaches of the ice has exacerbated the phenomenon of ice floods. Now the length of ice floods has reached more than 30 miles, and it accumulates at a rate of three to four miles every day. Especially in the downstream Jinsha River section, there is a sharp bend, and ice floods accumulate to form ice. Dam, the upstream water level is rising now, the longer the delay, once the flood capacity of the river is exceeded and the flood overflows the embankment, it will inevitably lead to tragedy.”

Xiao Rui nodded in satisfaction.

The flood is not terrible, what is terrible is the delay in the early stage. Once the delay is bad, the flood will spread for dozens or even hundreds of miles, and even if Xiao Rui has gunpowder, he will be helpless.

I remember reading an article in my previous life, which was also about the Ice Flood of the Yellow River. Flying slugs of ice met the obstruction of the ice dam, forming a huge Ice Flood, and the water level of the Yellow River was as high as more than 300 meters. What kind of concept is this? After the embankment broke at that time, the downstream flooded area reached more than 10,000 hectares.

Xiao Rui didn't care about taking a break either, and immediately said: "Then please trouble Commander Zhang, and take me to the Jinsha River section as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Zhang Ning responded with cupped fists.

The group left Caozhou Fucheng. Zhang Ning saw the five thousand prince's personal guards outside the city.

Zhang Yu said with a smile: "Your Highness, I was also born in Iron Dragon Knight! Now I can see my relatives."

Xiao Rui asked curiously: "What's the relationship between Commander Zhang, Zhongyonghou and Zhang Hao?"

Zhang Ning introduced: "These two are the humble cousins!"

Sure enough!

Xiao Rui had guessed a long time ago that although the Zhang family of the Great Xia Kingdom was not visible, they were the top family of generals in the Great Xia Kingdom. In the border and local guards, there is their sweat, and the children and grandchildren of the family rely on military exploits to make their careers.

Zhang Ning is the commander and dare not ask Ling Xun, but he knows the details, so it can be seen that he is always paying attention to this matter. On the other hand, the governor of Caozhou does not know when he asks three questions. With Zhang Ning's temper as a general, he naturally can't understand it. He also despised the governor Su Ming. This is the reason why the Baihu fell into the well when they entered the city.

A group of people got on their horses and headed north, and came to the bank of the Yellow River.

At this time, the Yellow River, which is more than one mile wide, is covered with ice slag, which stretches for dozens of miles, reflecting the luster under the reflection of the sun.

Xiao Rui walked downstream along the river, and when he came to the Jinsha River section, he saw a big bay, where ice accumulated, forming an ice dam and blocking it.

What Su Ming said about sending people to clean up the ice, there are indeed people here to clean up the ice at this time, but it is almost whimsical to rely on these hundreds of people to solve the blocked ice!

Xiao Rui did it himself, and Zhang Liang and Zhang Ning checked the situation of the scene and the terrain along the coast. It took more than two hours to figure out the situation.

Then the three found an open space on the shore to discuss countermeasures.

Zhang Liang drew a map of the flow direction of the Yellow River and said, "Your Highness, fortunately we came in time. The ice flood situation has not yet reached an uncontrollable situation. Although an ice dam has formed, the water level has not risen too much. As long as the explosion Opening an ice dam and dredging the river channel will allow the ice to move downstream. But this is a temporary solution, not the root cause. Dredging the ice dam cannot stop the continued generation of ice, so other methods must be used to cure it.”

As expected, Zhang Liang is well-informed. After observing the terrain, he immediately came up with an idea, and said, "My subordinates have two options. First, because the Jinsha River section is a big bay, ice edges are most likely to accumulate to form ice dams. Therefore, this big bay must be solved, and the curved and narrow river section that is prone to ice damming can be cut, straightened and widened, so that the curved river course becomes smoother, and it is naturally not easy to form ice dams. Find a flood discharge area, share the pressure of the ice edge, and distribute the flood."

"Secondly, my subordinates believe that if there is no water flow as the driving force, the ice will be stationary, so the water flow is the key to the ice hazard. If the water flow can be controlled, it will control the ice edge from forming a peak, and avoid the occurrence of ice. Ice dams. Even if ice dams have been formed and blockage occurs, as long as the inflow of water is controlled, the rise of the flood level can be limited and the phenomenon of embankment bursting can be prevented.”

After hearing this, Xiao Rui analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods, and finally said: "The second method is to directly treat the root cause, but it consumes too much manpower and material resources. In addition, if you want to build a reservoir upstream to control the river, it will take time to do it now." Not enough. So we can only use the first method to solve the immediate crisis first!"

Zhang Liang nodded and said: "Your Highness is right, it's more important to solve the troublesome matter in front of you first."

Xiao Rui took out the badge of Ruzhen, handed it to Zhang Ning, and asked, "Zhang Ning, how many soldiers are there in Caozhou?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, a total of 15,000 soldiers were registered in Caozhou, and 5,000 were transferred, leaving 10,000 to be responsible for the military affairs of the whole state, but today the fastest can only gather 5,000. If you recruit temporarily The people of Caozhou Prefecture should be able to gather 15,000 people tomorrow morning. Within three days, 30,000 people will be gathered!" Zhang Liang is like a treasure.

Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

With 30,000 people tidying up the river, plus gunpowder blasting the ice dam, the ice flood can be resolved in the early stage.

Xiao Rui handed the token of Ruzhen's presence to Zhang Ning, and shouted: "Zhang Ning, with the gold medal of Ruzhen's presence, I order you to summon all the unemployed soldiers near Caozhou's capital, and recruit the people of Caozhou's capital and nearby villages, Excavate the river channel to solve the flood crisis. Whoever dares to disobey the order and refuse to listen to the recruitment, steals, rapes and plays tricks will be imprisoned according to the law! Those who disobey will be beheaded! Gather the manpower for the palace in the shortest time!"

"I obey!" Zhang Ning responded immediately, then took the gold medal with both hands, and immediately went back to the city to gather troops.

And Xiao Rui and Zhang Liang were not idle, and immediately arranged for the iron dragon knights to blow up the ice dam, so that the blocked ice could move downstream first, so as to prevent the water level from continuing to rise!

In this way, everyone got busy.

Along with Xiao Rui this time, there are more than a dozen detonators trained by Huben Pavilion. Gunpowder is a ferocious thing, Xiao Rui dare not let Iron Dragon Riders bury the gunpowder and participate in the detonation, this is a dangerous act, if it is accidentally detonated early, it will be a tragedy.

The trained detonators have rich experience, and they have the courage to go directly into the ice dam to bury the porcelain pots containing gunpowder and connect the fire wire. It took a long time, and when the sun was setting and the afterglow was spreading, it was finally completed. Wired.

"Report Your Highness, the fuse has been completed and can be detonated at any time!" A detonator shouted proudly.

This is the first time they have carried out a large-scale detonation mission, and it is impossible to say that they are not excited! They will never forget the shock and shock of seeing gunpowder for the first time, and since then, they have willingly performed this dangerous work because it is an honor! For them, this is a mortal possessing the power of a god!

Xiao Rui nodded and shouted: "Thanks for your hard work!"

At this moment, Erlang of the Five Thousand Iron Dragon Riders looked at each other in blank dismay.

They only know that they have brought a batch of magical things, but what it is, they don't know. Now more than a dozen men have been messing around for so long, looking very formal, what the hell are they doing?

Also, what is detonation? Detonate what?

This accumulated and clogged ice dam does not depend on humans and cows and horses to break the ice bit by bit, could it be possible to rely on fairy magic?

Xiao Rui had noticed the puzzlement of this group of people long ago, but he didn't need to explain. Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty. Only by keeping things like gunpowder mysterious can these soldiers be more in awe.

But in this situation, Xiao Rui suddenly became poetic.

He turned back to look at Wuqianerlang, and suddenly drew out the Chixiao sword, pointed at the layered ice edge, and roared boldly: "Soldiers, do you believe that this king's sword can be exchanged for thunder and split this ice edge and ice dam?"

As soon as these words came out, the five thousand Iron Dragon Riders frowned, thinking to themselves, Your Highness the Crown Prince's words are too boastful, and he even split the ice dam with a sword, which is hundreds of meters long!

Xiao Rui laughed loudly, and the urge to act aggressive came up, and no one could stop it.

Just listen to him chanting aloud:

"The thunder and lightning shake thousands of miles, and the Weiling universe moves the world."

"The thunder chariot rides the rain dragon, and the lightning strikes the sky like a mad arrow. Swing the sword and the golden armor to dance with the relatives, and beat the drum to split the mountains and rivers!"

"muster!"

After Xiao Rui finished reading the poem, the detonating hand suddenly beat a rapid drumbeat, and then the detonating hand stepped forward to ignite the fuse.

Xiao Rui counted the time, and when he felt that the fuse was about to detonate the gunpowder, he began to pretend to laugh wildly again. When the soldiers were really puzzled, Xiao Rui waved Chi Xiao, suddenly pointed to the sky, and shouted:

"Sword!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang in the Yellow River!

"boom..."

"boom..."

In an instant, tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder detonated, and the terrifying air wave directly blasted the ice dam, raising air waves of tens of meters, flying all over the sky full of ice flowers.

The ground was shaking like an earth dragon rolling, and the air waves swept in all directions. When they rushed into the ranks of soldiers, the terrified soldiers couldn't stand upright and fell left and right. The horses beside them were even more frightened and struggled. The horseshoes neighed.

This situation is really true: the thunder and the sword rise, and the ground covers the sunset.

When the tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder were detonated, the ice dam with a width of five to six hundred meters was directly blasted, the accumulated ice broke, and the accumulated water level was crushed, immediately appearing the horror of flood discharge.

just listen...

It was the roar of water carrying ice slugs downstream.

for a long time...

The five thousand Iron Dragon Riders still hadn't woken up from the shock. They stared blankly at Xiao Rui. Under the reflection of the setting sun, Xiao Rui, who was covered in golden radiance, looked like a god-man.

Especially the sound of "sword coming", in exchange for the thunder to split the ice dam, this situation and this scene, let these boys and girls never forget, the respect and admiration for Xiao Rui in their hearts can no longer be formed in words, it has almost become a belief!

Standing aside, Zhang Liang couldn't help feeling in his heart, His Highness pretended to be aggressive this time, which is really rare in the world!
