Because of the time constraints, after explaining all the precautions here, Ah Chen continued to walk into the more dangerous area.
Half a month later, --
On June 7th, he finally arrived at his destination.
The northern suburbs of Rongjiang County.
Due to its topography, Rongjiang is fed by four rivers flowing from different directions, forming a main stream.
And this main stream, about ten kilometers to the south, is the river that Ah Chen inspected a few days ago, and it is also the widest of the main streams.
Therefore, this is the focus of his work this time.
The terrain in the northern suburbs is relatively higher and is the safest place, with an elevation that is 100 meters higher than the other three sides.
Standing on a high point in the northern suburbs, you can see almost the entire county town. If there is no fog, you can also clearly see the water flow of the surrounding rivers.
In addition, the terrain north of the northern suburbs is relatively flat. It is also an important point connecting western Hunan and Tianfeng, and a strategic location after Rongjiang was changed from a county to a city.
Because the central point of the future routes coming from Miao territory will be here.
Two years ago, Mu Achen had Sheng Tang obtain the money from him using various reasons and excuses. Of course, all of these reasons were legitimate, and he received real money.
When Ah Chen arrived, the first thing that caught his eye was the hundreds of temporary tents.
All the supplies that have been delivered are stored here.
Three Miao armies, totaling more than 3,600 men, are also stationed here.
In addition, the Miao people's temporary command post in Rongjiang was also located here.
The rows of greenhouses, though not as sturdy as their own houses, have housed several thousand Miao people.
These Miao people are the ones that Mu Achen made move out of their original Miao village during this period.
All elderly people with mobility issues, children under seven years old, and pregnant women were brought here.
Most of these Miao people do not have Miao ethnicity, but they are all Rongjiang Miao people, a branch of the twelve lineages. How could Mu Achen ignore them?
For him, there's nothing he'd hesitate to do if it could be done with money.
With so many Miao people, it's just a matter of money, and he'll provide it.
At this moment, with the arrival of Mu Achen, the Miao people in the core area were prepared.
Because their future Miao King said he would be here to oversee things at crucial moments.
It seems a storm is brewing.
Inside the large shed where the general dispatcher was located, Ah Chen looked around at the surroundings before entering.
"Ah Chen, --"
Everyone gave gifts.
Several maps were hanging on the wooden frame that had been erected in the shed.
Ayun and Amo were sketching on the map. Beside them, besides Chief Siwei, there were three jackals, four chief leaders, and more than twenty chiefs from Rongjiang's side.
"How's the situation?" Ah Chen asked.
"Don't worry, we've basically completed our deployment here." Ayun poured a bowl of rice wine for Achen.
Amo informed Achen about the situation over the past two weeks and the overall situation in Rongjiang.
After listening, Achen got up and went to the map of several Miao regions, circled them with a pen, and then told everyone in the shed.
"This river in the northern suburbs of Rongjiang is formed by the confluence of four tributaries. The Holy Maiden has marked the key points, and everyone has memorized them."
"Our focus is on protecting Line 3 at all costs."
Ah Chen marked the direction of the river with red and blue pens, and continued:
"At that time, the water flow of the No. 3 line will be the largest! By guarding the embankment of the No. 3 river, we will be able to protect the fields of most of the Miao villages in Tianfeng and the red line that prevents countless Miao villages in the outer regions from being swallowed by floods."
"Secondly, there is River No. 2, --"
Ah Chen explained it very carefully, and he also used this time to directly assign tasks.
Sheng Tang's Jiang Ya and Yang Ayao immediately took notes, and the Miao army commander, the jackals, and the village chiefs also kept them in mind.
This time, although they were in Rongjiang, they were guarding their own Miao village.
In fact, what they were guarding were countless crops and houses throughout eastern Guizhou.
because,--
As long as they hold this position, the benefits will extend far beyond just Tianfeng County.
…
One hour later.
Taking into account the opinions of Amo and Ayun, and the actual situation described by the leaders of Rongjiang Village, Achen made the most important arrangements.
"Ah Chen, --"
Ayun asked, "We only have three thousand life jackets here, is that enough?"
"It's hard to say! But what I'm most worried about right now is all kinds of medicine, whether it's Western medicine or our own Miao medicine. Even if we are well prepared, who can predict what will happen in the face of a natural disaster?"
Upon hearing this, Amo immediately found the prescription for the medicine and handed it to Achen.
As Ah Chen looked at the document, he said, "Besides the medicine, there are other things to do; there's also the reservoir in southern Rongjiang."
"Reservoir?"
Everyone's eyes were on the map. One of the village chiefs said, "Achen, this reservoir poses no threat to us."
Ah Chen didn't say anything, but Ah Mo and Ah Yun both got up and went to the map.
Even Jiang Ya and Yang Ayao rushed over to check, as they didn't expect Achen to suddenly mention the reservoir.
Sure enough, Jiang Ya and Yang Ayao looked at the river's course and were both stunned.
Yang Ayao said, "This reservoir may seem harmless, but it poses a significant threat."
"That's right! Look—"
Jiang Ya pointed to the map and said, "We didn't notice it before because there was no threat. But we are determined to defend the No. 3 River and focus on the No. 2 River. The county government may not be able to hold it if it is not prepared."
“Jiang Ya, we don’t understand what you’re saying.” The village chiefs came over.
Jiang Ya said, "Look at where this river flows. River No. 4 passes through the current county town, and then there is a tributary that goes to the reservoir."
"So what?"
"Chief, don't speak yet, let Jiang Ya speak," another chieftain tugged at him.
Jiang Ya continued, "If the torrential rains continue, the water flowing from the mountains will flood into River No. 1. Although we are helping to divert the flow from below, if the floodwaters flowing into River No. 1 are blocked at the reservoir, then—"
"Not only were tens of thousands of acres of farmland submerged, but countless houses were also flooded, and even the county seat could not be saved."
Upon hearing this, the village chiefs were stunned.
Only then did they understand why Ah Chen had strictly ordered all the Miao people around the river to move to higher ground; it turned out he was worried about this.
You should know that there are quite a few villages around this river, with a population of at least 30,000 to 50,000.
Amo came to Achen's side and asked in a low voice, "Have you told Xuxian about this?"
“It has been mentioned, but this matter is too big. Once it is started, at least 50,000 people will have to be relocated just around this river. Without evidence, even if he is the number one person in Rongjiang, he cannot withstand such pressure.”
"Besides--"
Ah Chen glanced at Ah Mo and Ah Yun who were walking over, and said, "To non-Miao people, predictions are just nonsense."
"besides,--"
"Follow me."
Achen got up and led Amo and Ayun out of the tent to the front, overlooking Rongjiang County.
