Chapter 1149: The Great Flood Is Finally Coming
Under the rule of Qin Huaidao, everything in the Han Dynasty maintains the unity on the surface, and it seems to be stable, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging, and it will explode in full force when there is only one opportunity.
This is true of any change of dynasty, not to mention that he immediately moved the rights of these old nobles after the establishment of a new dynasty.
In August of the early Han Dynasty, there was a loud bang in the sky, and the flood finally came.
The flood of the Yellow River is like a man-eating tiger rushing down from upstream, after crossing countless dikes, it finally collapsed completely from the Sanmenxia River defense, even if there is a sack of sediment, it can not stop the flood peak, since then, Sanmenxia, Hukou, Xiaolangdi to Zhengzhou A line of river defense has completely collapsed, Feng Jizhang, who sticks to the first line, is finally invincible to the monstrous flood after organizing everyone to firmly hold on to seven days and nights, and a large number of government troops and river workers were swept into the bottom of the Yellow River when the dam burst and completely lost the chance of survival, Feng Jizhang was protected by everyone, was able to get away with it.
The lower reaches of the Yellow River have completely become Zeguo.
Lanzhou embankment in Chen Wang, Jingzhi and Jiang Yusheng jointly defended, fortunately survived the highest flood peak, held Lanzhou thousands of miles of fertile soil, survived the flood peak, Chen Wang ordered Lanzhou not to drive Jingzhi around the river Wang Heng to stick to the dam, and he took Jiang Yusheng and the government army to rush downstream to support.
Jingshi Chang'an.
At the meeting, officials reported on the damage to each state road.
"Your Majesty, the dam of Henan Province has collapsed, the entire Henan Province has been flooded, the flood has covered thousands of miles, and the affected people are conservatively estimated to reach millions of households.
"Gyeonggi Province has completely fallen, flooding many cities, and disaster relief materials have also been damaged."
"Jinju, Hadong Province has been completely affected, and the surrounding areas are also showing signs of the spread of the disaster, and if the embankment is not blocked in time, half of Hedong Province will suffer."
"Your Majesty, the lower reaches of the Yellow River have been affected by the disaster, millions of households have been displaced, the Central Plains is the granary of my Han Dynasty, after this flood, the grain of my Han Dynasty may not survive the winter, if the people have no food replenishment, I am afraid that everyone will be able to eat again."
The rout of the Yellow River defense came faster than Qin Huaidao imagined, and this can't all be blamed on the scheduling problem of the imperial court, any dispatch involving such a large area and a large number of manpower, there will be all kinds of problems, Qin Huaidao can only try his best to ensure the best support along the Yellow River, but any small variables on the way, such as the Yellow River rainfall far exceeds expectations, a river worker is slacking off and does not report in time, someone cutting corners on the embankment materials, or the early evacuation of officials in key positions, etc., will lead to uncontrollable results.
Countless small probabilities of uncontrollability finally advanced into the current large-scale uncontrollable results.
The five important ministers of the Ministry of State looked up to the sky and sighed.
Natural disasters are unstoppable, and this is the greatest sense of powerlessness as an ancient subject.
Even Qin Huaidao, the person who crossed over, could not lead them to completely resist such a natural disaster, and could only try to remedy it through later scheduling.
For a time, the whole dynasty was full of sighs.
Only on the dragon chair, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty did not say a word.
Seeing that all the ministers were sighing, Qin Huaidao's eyes narrowed slightly, knowing that things had reached an impasse, and they also knew that they were powerless to return to the sky at this time, the more this was the case, the more they needed the belief that they would win.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao pointed at the ministers under him and scolded: "You mediocre ministers, you are busy all day long, open your mouth and close your mouth to share my worries, what? In the face of the catastrophe, is this kind of woman's posture? Just know sighs, can the Yellow River hear it? Will the flood stop because of the sighs and sighs of the waiters? ”
"The people of the Han Dynasty are still waiting for you, some of them are up to seventy years old, and some are only five or six years old, they are looking forward to it, hoping that the officials and lords who are far away in Chang'an without any flood will come up with a way to save them, instead of just knowing melancholy!"
"Tell me, what do you have in mind?"
Qin Huaidao's words shocked the court, and the ministers no longer dared to show their sorrow, but they each whispered, not knowing what they were saying, only His Majesty's question, no one answered.
Qin Huaidao can't control so much, and now only by mobilizing all manpower and material resources to support the Yellow River can he ensure the safety of one side.
"Since everyone has no idea, let me talk about it."
"Since the Yellow River is a disaster, Chang'an should make every effort to save it, I decided to send most of the Jinyi guards and the Son of Heaven's pro-army to the Yellow River for disaster relief, the Jinyi guard and the garrison army followed me to personally block the mouth of the embankment, and the rest of the pro-army was personally led by Li Jing and Lord Li, who was responsible for rescuing the victims in various places."
"Xue Rengui is in charge of Chang'an's capital defense, beware of Xiaoxiao taking the opportunity to sneak attack Chang'an, Fang Xuanling Fang is in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for logistics and material supply, and Wei Shuwan, the secretary and supervisor, is responsible for the circulation of information in the world, and must ensure that the communication between various places is smooth and there are no mistakes."
"Guo Xiaoke, Liu Yanjing Workshop of the Department of Agriculture, and Wang Xuance Currency Department perform their respective duties to ensure that I have materials, money and grain available, and if necessary, I can let the resources in Daye City cooperate."
"Where is Xue Yuanchao?"
Xue Yuanchao originally belonged to the Dahan Business Department for the cause editor, and there was no official rank, only because of its particularity, he was authorized to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting, so he is also here today.
"The minister is here."
"Chang'an Daily does a good job in the publication and publicity of articles, the more difficult the period, the more we must sing the spirit of living to death, I order you to dig out the deeds that can be sung and cried in the flood and spread them widely, so that even if the people are in danger, they can also inspire the courage to survive." Qin Huaidao ordered.
"Commandment."
"Cheng Chu silently returned to Southeast Asia to lead the various departments in Southeast Asia, so as to return to Beijing when I need it, and the rest of the people, each performing their duties must not be wrong, I want this big man, if he can save one more person, he will save one more person, if he can block one more dam, he will block one more dam, in the face of the catastrophe, you can no longer delay time, I am here to say that anyone who is conducive to disaster relief can be cut first and then played, and will not settle accounts after the autumn."
"Do you understand?"
Seeing His Majesty's heavenly might, the ministers knew very well what the Han Emperor wanted to do at this time, and he wanted to implement what he had said.
All officials, including himself, were servants of the people.
Since he is a public servant of the people, he should take the lead and rush to the forefront.
"Your Ministers understand."
"Okay, Luo Wu listened to the order, led most of the Jinyi Guard, and set off with me to unload the armor!"
On this trip, he brought Li Chunfeng, this person since the scientific examination, temporarily placed in the Literature Museum to help Chu Suiliang deal with affairs, and now Chu Suiliang was transferred to Jiangnan Dongdao as the acting supervision envoy, but he became the actual controller of the Literature Museum, because he knew astronomy and geography, and was very proficient in mathematics and feng shui, Qin Huaidao decided to take this person.
In addition to him, there are also Luo Wu Luo Zhang.
He didn't take Wang Shengzhi's sniper regiment with him, and most of the Jinyi guards and garrisons were transferred out of Beijing by him, and if the sniper regiment was transferred again, Chang'an's defense would be in danger.
