Chapter 14 Who is the person who defeated the Ming army?

Lantian County wants to operate Shuzhong, which has long been in the planning.

It is not difficult for Lantian County to imperceptibly manage Shuzhong.

Nowadays, Guanzhong is the largest distribution center for goods in Shuzhong, and it is also the overlord who grasps the main road to the Central Plains in Shuzhong.

If the Yun clan closes the Shu Dao, then Shuzhong can really close the gate and become a self-contained entity.

The King of Shu in the Ming Dynasty is not an obstacle to Yun Zhao's invasion of Shu, and the governor of Sichuan in the Ming Dynasty and officials at all levels are not an obstacle, and the only person who can make Yun Zhao pay attention to it is Qin Liangyu!

To deal with the King of Shu, King Qin has done a lot of work, and for now, the connection between them is very close, especially in commerce, which makes the vassal kings of the world blush.

As for the Ming officials?

Those people who went out of Yushan Academy had a way to deal with them, these people could be bribed, coerced, blackmailed, and done what they liked, in short, when the strength of the imperial court could no longer protect them, most of these people's discipline was not very good.

Qin Liangyu is different!

Zhang Bingzhong coveted Shu three times, and was beaten by this old woman three times with very few troops and fled, and Luo Rucai was almost wiped out by this old woman.

Over the years, the Yun family has continued to show favor to Shizhu Tusi, whether it is food, materials, or even weapons, they have generously supported a lot, but unfortunately, Qin Liangyu did not refuse these things, and even said that Yun Zhao, the little grandson, should be more filial to her, a poor old grandmother.

As for the matter of helping the Yun family gain a foothold in Shuzhong, her old man did not participate in it, and even guarded everywhere, this time the idea of garrisoning troops in Tuntian, Mianzhou was the old woman's idea, and Shao Jiechun, the governor of Sichuan, happily adopted it.

In the Mianyang Tun army, it can be well guarded, Qingchuan, Jiange, and Wenxian County, which borders the Yunzhao forces, as long as the Lantian County army wants to enter Shuzhong, these places are the only way.

forcibly entering Shuzhong, something that Zhang Bingzhong likes to do, Yun Zhao naturally does not do.

He even hoped that Zhang Bingzhong could enter Shu first, calm down and resist for him, and then he would enter to pacify the people there, and behead Zhang Bingzhong by the way, so as to breathe a sigh of relief for the people of Shuzhong.

At this time, Feng Ying's role was revealed, if Feng Ying led the robbers of Funiu Mountain into Shu first, it would be able to reduce a lot of useless battles.

At least, the people of Shizhu don't have such a strong sense of resistance.

This is the unanimous opinion of the leaders of Lantian County.

Feng Ying's belly is very large, and the blood vessels on the belly are clearly distinguishable after only six months, which makes Yun Zhao very worried, and if he continues, his belly will burst.

"There can't be two of them, can they?"

"I want to too, but Xuan Jing said no, it's one."

Yun Zhao removed his ears from Feng Ying's belly, not because he wanted to leave, but because a small bag suddenly bulged out on Feng Ying's belly......

"The child is moving his fists and feet, oh, help me up, I want to clean my hands."

After a woman's belly is big, this kind of thing is frequent, Yun Zhao helped Feng Ying up, got out of bed and put on her shoes, frowned and looked at Yun Chun Yunhua, who was sleeping like thunder outside, and sighed: "I don't know what kind of sin I have created, there are two maids like this." ”

Feng Ying smiled: "Xiao Chu is like this. ”

"You promised to marry Xiao Chu to Qian Shaoxiao?"

"It's the money that suffers, and it's not Xiao Chu, this is a lot of goodwill to me, Xiao Chu himself doesn't resist, of course I won't be a villain.

However, Xiao Chu has been sad in this life, marrying a husband who is even more beautiful than herself, it will always be harder. ”

Yun Zhao helped Feng Ying out from behind the bed and said with a smile: "What is Xiao Chu doing these days?" ”

"I was called away by Duoduo, I heard that I was teaching Xiao Chu how to be a qualified wife."

Yun Zhao chuckled and said, "In other words, I'm going to let Qian Shao marry a few more, right?" ”

Feng Ying shook her head and said, "No, Duoduo said that the only one who can carry into the door is Xiao Chu, and as for the outside, she can't take care of it." ”

"Also, there is no way to demand perfection in this world, and it is already a fluke to have a perfect eight."

Feng Ying blinked at Yun Zhao with sparkling eyes and said, "How perfect am I?" ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said, "Even if we love each other with all our might, we will be perfect at most, this is something that can't be done." ”

Feng Ying smiled: "It's okay to tell the truth, but after the child is born, I will be able to be a little more happy." ”

Yun Zhao smiled, touched Feng Ying's bulging belly and said, "Then give birth to a few more." ”

As soon as the two of them fell asleep, Yun Zhao suddenly felt that the world was spinning, the teapot next to the bed rattled, Yun Zhao was startled, and dragged Feng Ying up and yelled outside, "There is an earthquake." ”

The two of them didn't care about putting on their shoes, and when they were about to run out, Yun Zhao felt that his wrists were tight, and his body actually flew sideways, crashing through the window, and he was out of the window in an instant.

I didn't care about the pain all over my body, so I was about to re-enter the house, but I saw Feng Ying dragging Yunchun with one hand and Yunhua out of the house with the other.

Seeing that the three of them were safe, Yun Zhao glared at Feng Ying fiercely, and hurriedly ran towards the inner house.

Fortunately, the Yun family's mansion was newly built, the building was sturdy, and although some tiles had fallen, the room was fine.

After Yun Zhao made sure that his mother and Qian Duoduo were fine, he didn't care to comfort them, so he yelled at the guards: "Beat the drum!" “

Just as he gave the order, the ground began to shake again, and he felt the earth beneath his feet suddenly turn into waves.

The shaking lasted for two breaths before it stopped.

Yun Zhao gloomily looked at the collapsed garden wall, and his heart felt like a weighing stone had been stuffed.

Qian Duoduo said with a crying voice: "Husband, the earth dragon has turned over." ”

Yun Zhao grabbed her hand and said, "It's okay, it's already over." ”

Yun Niang shouted at Yun Zhao: "The drum of the gathering general has been beaten, what are you still doing here?" ”

Yun Zhao agreed, and hurriedly went to the big study.

Before I arrived at the big study, I met the cloud tiger, clouded leopard, cloud Jiao, and cloud poplar all over the body.

"Take your headquarters to quickly inspect the disaster situation from the four directions of the southeast, north, and west, and do your best to rescue the victims."

The four of them hurried away as promised.

There are more and more people around Yun Zhao.

"Tear out the tents of the army, settle the people in the wilderness, and order all the people to leave their homes and sleep in the wilderness."

"Ordered the chief, the captain quickly organized a group drill to maintain the township, if there are robbers who take advantage of the fire to kill, if there are hoarders, kill! If you don't obey the order, kill! ”

"Convene all Langzhong in Lantian County, build a field medical hall according to the plan arranged in advance, and allocate manpower."

"Zhang Mingming, I want you to identify the hardest hit place in the shortest possible time, and I want to arrive as soon as possible."

"Order all the markets in Lantian County to be closed, and all the disaster relief materials that can be used there must be requisitioned, and if there are non-compliance, kill!"

"Order all the students above the first grade of the upper courtyard of Yushan Academy to wear armor and act in accordance with the emergency regulations we have formulated!"

"Order the defenders of Yushan City to immediately check the damage, count the number of dead and wounded, and count the disaster."

"Order the Phoenix Mountain camp to stop training, all the soldiers are fully equipped, and they are on standby in the barracks, and those who go out of the camp without an order will be beheaded!"

"Fate Yunfu, Yunxiao, close all the passages from the outside world to Lantian ......"

Yun Zhao gave orders all the way, and the people gathered around him left one after another, and without much effort, countless horses' hooves sounded in Yushan City.

At the same time, the four fire dragons left Yushan City, and at the intersection of the road in four directions, south, south, north, and west, while running, someone shouted: "The county has an order, leave the house, sleep in the wilderness, and avoid the foot of the mountain......

After Yun Zhao arrived in the big study, there were more people waiting for him here with the documents he had just written, Yun Zhao took out the seal, and while reviewing these military orders, he quickly used the seal, and waited until the number of people in the big study finally decreased.

Suddenly felt warm on his feet, and when he looked down, he realized that it was Qian Duoduo squatting on the ground to put shoes on him.

Feng Ying looked at him apologetically on the side.

There was a burning pain in his knees and elbows, Yun Zhao gritted his teeth and helped Qian Duoduo up, pressed him on his seat, and said to Feng Ying: "Here I am your king, I am the main one in everything, at home, I am your husband, how can I leave my pregnant wife and run away by myself?" ”

Feng Ying lifted Yun Zhao's sleeves, shook his head while bandaging the wound with a white veil, and said, "You can still marry again if your wife is gone, but if you are gone, Lantian is in danger." ”

Yun Zhao was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said, "This damn natural disaster, hopefully, the epicenter is not in my Lantian County." ”

The big study room is the strongest place in the entire Ming Dynasty, and Yun Zhao estimates that the earthquake with a intensity of five or six just now will not harm this large wooden building with a tenon structure.

Even so, he still didn't dare to let Qian Duoduo, Feng Ying and the two pregnant women stay here longer, and after a while, the guards came to report that the Chinese army tent had been built, and Yun Zhao took them to the Chinese army tent.

Such an earthquake did little damage to a building like the Yun Mansion, and it is difficult to say about ordinary rammed earth buildings.

At this time, the sound of Yushan City crying was endless.

Yun Zhao walked around the big tent of the Chinese army without a moment of leisure.

It had been two hours since the earthquake had passed, and messengers sent by officials from the vicinity of Yushan City had just arrived to report the preliminary statistics of the disaster.

After listening to these people's reports, Yun Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, the most serious place in the disaster was actually Yushan City!

Even Lantian County, which is close at hand, was not very badly damaged, and three of the 100 large chimneys near Yushan City collapsed, and more than 400 houses of the people in the city collapsed.

The stargazing platform on the Yushan Academy was badly damaged, half of the building was buried by the collapsed mountain, seven people were missing and nine were injured.

The hardest hit area of the earthquake is in the depths of the uninhabited Qinling Mountains...... This is a blessing in misfortune.

At dawn, Yun Zhao climbed the drum tower and looked around, the beautiful Yushan City in the past was very badly damaged, especially the large old residential area on the right, and the walls collapsed.

As for the new residential area to the north, although there are also cases of the wall collapsing, the overall appearance is quite complete.

Yun Zhao came to the old residential area, and after seeing it, he also felt lucky, the houses here collapsed very seriously, but there were not many dead and injured, and there were a hundred and ten humming and chirping injuries lying in the huge tent, as for the real number of deaths, there were not many deaths.

Most of the roofs of old houses are thatched roofs, plus over the years, the people on the Yun Zhuangzi have some money, and many families have built new houses, and for the purpose of frugality, most of the people living in the old houses are old people.

At this moment, Lantian County's strong organizational ability has finally been reflected.

But all the people who have no worries about their homes, whether they are rich or poor, or officials and businessmen, have all left their homes and searched the ruins of the old houses, hoping that the people under the ruins can get the fastest treatment.

At this time, the news from outside had not yet arrived, and Yun Zhao had also joined the search army, and as long as a person was rescued from the rubble, the crowd would cheer loudly.

Qian Shaoshao moved away a stone, looked at a pig that was still humming and chirping under the earthen wall, and said happily: "There is a living one here." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, came over to take a look, and looked at the money with contempt, and continued to scatter to look for it.

Five or six thousand people searched the small Zhuangzi, and after an hour it was determined that there were no more people pressed underneath it.

That's when the search began.

Yun Zhao sat on a stone, took a sip of water and said to Qian Shaoshao: "I suddenly understand Zhu Youzhen's mood very well.

Just last night, when I was still looking forward to the future life with Feng Ying, God came to a earth dragon turnover, if it was more powerful, this disaster would be enough to destroy the achievements of our hard work over the years.

Don't say it, I was really scared last night. ”

Qian Shaoshao shook his head and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of, we have people who follow us, we have weapons, if this place is destroyed, we will live in another place, and in less than three years, we will have a place as prosperous as Lantian County."

As long as you live, Lantian County will not perish. ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "That's not the case, if Lantian County is destroyed, the Lantian County we rebuilt will never be exactly the same as the current Lantian County."

Therefore, we must eliminate all the damage caused by the turning of the earth dragon in the shortest possible time, so that the people can no longer fear this natural disaster. ”

When I returned to the Chinese army tent in the evening, Qian Duoduo and Feng Ying were not there, they were called away by Yun Niang, Yun Niang stubbornly believed that her son's Chinese army tent should be a place to deal with military affairs, and the two pregnant women stayed there like something.

"I don't recommend that the disaster of the earth dragon turn over this time should be said to be small, but it should be said big, especially the music of the imperial court, it must be exaggerated, and then exaggerated after exaggeration.

According to the news sent by Tongguan, the intensity of the earth dragon turning over in Henan is smaller than that of us here, but there are more collapsed houses over there than we here.

Therefore, in order not to embarrass the officials in Henan, we should say something more serious. ”

Master Liu of Lantian County was the first to speak, but his eyes were fixed on Yun Zhao's face, if Yun Zhao did not agree with him, he could change his words at any time.

"I want to give outsiders an impression, that is, my Lantian County has suffered a natural disaster, and I am anxious for a while, and I have no time to take care of anything else."

Yun Zhao glanced at Gao Zhengmao, who had a gray beard, and nodded slightly.

Qian Shaoshao said: "Because, from the first moment of the disaster, Lantian County has been under military control, so until now, people outside only know that Lantian County has been affected, but they don't know our actual damage.

I thought we should make the most of the disaster, and when everyone else thought we were taking care of ourselves, we could just do it. ”

Zhang Mingliang nodded and said: "We have made countless plans, and there are many plans that cannot be executed at a bad time, and I think they can be executed." ”

Yun Zhao frowned and said, "I can't hide those people from Xi'an City." ”

Qian Shaoshao said: "Lantian County is very big, Xi'an City is only affected, not to mention, Xi'an City is not unscathed, the city wall of Danfengmen has collapsed more than 30 zhang, and the bell tower and drum tower have cracks two inches wide.

No less than 2,000 houses collapsed in each of the houses.

We're exaggerating some of the past. ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Then report it like this, but the most important thing for us at the moment is disaster reduction and relief, which is our first priority." ”

With the news from all over Lantian County gathering in the Yunzhao book case, his hanging heart finally landed. I finally have the mood to fabricate the disaster to the imperial court.

According to Yun Zhao, Lantian County suffered heavy losses, with more than 20,000 houses collapsing, 6,000 people crushed to death, countless people injured, and the city walls of Lantian County collapsed...... The people are sleeping in the wilderness, and they dare not return home, which is miserable......

Generally speaking, this earthquake was an aftershock of the Huaxian earthquake in the 34th year of Jiajing.

At that time, the violent earthquake, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan earthquakes at the same time, the sound was like thunder. Weinan, Huazhou, Chaoyi, Sanyuan, Puzhou and other places are even more upside down.

According to the records of Xi'an, the earthquake killed 830,000 soldiers and civilians, collapsed more than 1 million houses, and affected 101 counties in three provinces.

When the magistrate reported the disaster to the emperor, he usually exaggerated the report several times, so the worries of Yun Zhao and the others were completely unnecessary.

The disaster reports in Lantian County have been exaggerated countless times, and they are inconspicuous in the disaster reports of officials in Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, and even Sichuan, Hubei, etc.

Yun Zhao didn't understand what happened to Shanxi, Sichuan, and Hubei in this earthquake.

After the emperor's will was issued, Yun Zhao suddenly realized that as long as the earth dragon turned over, it would be the emperor's moral loss.

Taxes must be reduced or exempted at the local level, so Henan, Shanxi, Sichuan, and Hubei are exempted from taxes by 30 percent...... As for Guanzhong, which was the hardest hit, the emperor only issued an order of condolences, and there was no benefit of tax reduction.

"It's your fault!"

Qian Shaoshao was outspoken.

"You wrote too lightly about the disaster situation in Lantian County."

"Do you want to hear how the governor of Henan wrote the memoir? Here's what people say: There is a big earthquake in the pond, and if thousands of horses gallop in the ground, the dust and fog will block the sky. Heavy rain and thunder and lightning at night caused the houses to collapse, crushing more than 30,000 people......

The governor of Sichuan said this: Black water gushes out of the ground in Hanzhong, and the loach eels gather together, and I don't know where it comes from. The river was dry at the time of the earthquake...... The city walls, building battlements, embankments, government houses, and village temples were dumped, and all of them collapsed like flat ground. More than 31,000 soldiers and civilians, as well as cattle, horses, and livestock were crushed.

Here's what the governor of Hubei said: ...... At that time, the ground cracks and springs, and the upper spray is two or three zhang high, and the water flows all over the place, and the ditches are full of mud, and the digestion is nothing when it is moved. …… Hundreds of thousands of houses collapsed in Heyi,...... At that time, the dead bodies were all over the four fields, and there were many people who could not be buried. ”

"Look at what you wrote: more than 20,000 houses collapsed everywhere, 6,000 people were crushed to death, countless people were injured, and the walls of Lantian County collapsed...... The people are sleeping in the wilderness, and they dare not return home, which is miserable......

Our Lantian County itself does not have a city wall, okay, Cao Huachun, and the fans of Dongchang all know that there is such a loophole, and people don't believe anything else.

More than 600 people were killed and injured in our county, such a tragic situation, you said that 6,000 is too little, compared with others, we are light, you wrote a chapter like this, even Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, is not good for us to play a round. ”

Yun Zhao looked at the news that Qian Shaoshao brought and muttered to himself: "I already feel very shameless, I already feel a little ashamed, I didn't expect these people to be shameless at all!" ”

Qian Shaoshao sighed and said: "They all want to scrape two taels of oil from the emperor's thin donkey, and they don't want to see if the emperor's thin donkey can still scrape off the oil?"

This earthquake doomed Yang Sichang to work in vain in Henan and Hubei to suppress bandits, and doomed Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting to return to their stations to eat.

It is also destined that Li Hongji can soar into the sky, and it is destined that Zhang Bingzhong can put aside all his worries and enter Shuzhong.

Ah Zhao, it was not Li Hongji and these thieves who defeated the official army, nor did they turn over this earth dragon, but you shameless Ming officials. ”
