0740 Disaster is coming
Everyone who stayed in this warehouse was the most loyal to Liu Pei and never questioned Liu Pei's orders. They carried two corpses and left without saying a word.
After dawn, Liu Pei turned the guards to go to the garrison palace. Some official duties were squeezed on the desk. He found a thicker report among the backlog of documents and threw it aside. He began to review other backlogs of documents.
It was not until after reviewing other documents that Liu Pei picked up the report that was thrown aside. This report was sent by the Intelligence Bureau to Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Yang Jingfa's subordinates to report back. Liu Pei did not rush to open the information, but quietly looked at the cover of the report. He knew that if he opened the report, he would see a miserable world!
In history books, there are only a few small paragraphs of drought in Shaanxi and Shanxi. However, things that can obtain a few records in history books are amazing things!
Even if there are thousands or even tens of thousands of casualties, in history books, it is just a matter of something happening in a certain place, and the number of people killed and injured. Sometimes even the number of people killed and injured may not be recorded. However, this drought in Shanxi occupied a small paragraph in history books, which is enough to show the huge harm and far-reaching impact of this disaster.
At the same time, Liu Pei was hesitating, wondering whether his plan would be successful this time. To be honest, with Liu Pei's current strength, it was extremely difficult to swallow these victims!
First of all, for a journey of hundreds of miles or nearly a thousand miles, can the weak bodies of the victims persist? Will there be enough food when they walk on the road? How much medicine should be prepared? What attitude will the government adhere to after being discovered by the government? How to arrange these people after they arrive in Shandong? How to transport these people to Taiwan and Ryukyu? And in Taiwan, Ryukyu opened up many settlements for people to live in? This series of problems made Liu Pei breathless!
Liu Pei, who had been sitting quietly for a long time, finally made up his mind. Since he had planned to do it, then do it! Anyway, these victims will die in this unprecedented drought. Every time he saves someone, he will take it back from God.
Yes! Every time a person is saved, the vitality of the Chinese nation will be retained!
Besides, a real man should act freely! If you want to make a decision when encountering things, you should make a decision, but just want to be ashamed of your heart!
Thinking of this, Liu Pei opened a thick report. The report said it very clearly. Since January, it has neither rained nor snowed in Shaanxi nor Shanxi. The drought in the fields is so great! Farmers have been hoping that God can enjoy some rain, but they have to wait until it’s time to sow the seeds, and the old god will appreciate the rain!
The farmers were a little calmer when they saw it raining. They plowed the land with a glimmer of hope and planted seeds, but they didn't expect that the rain was a scam by God! It has not rained since that rain!
As the crops that had just emerged became yellow and finally died, panic began to spread among farmers. This was the season when the seeds were sown, but the seedlings died of drought. The harvest this year was a foregone conclusion, but the food in their hands was about to be eaten up. For a time, the people in Shaanxi and Shanxi were deserted!
Gradually, a huge drought was confirmed, but farmers were waiting at home for a glimmer of hope, but they killed their family! After eating the food, the landlords no longer released the food because the landlords knew that they could not collect the food this year! Grain merchants were hoarding, and the food prices were rising, taking away all the money left in the hands of the people!
At this time, there were no farmers working between the fields. The grassroots were dug out and eaten, the bark was stripped naked, and all the food could be eaten had entered the human belly, but it was still not enough. A large number of refugees began to gather in various prefectures and counties, hoping to get relief and get a chance to survive.
However, because of the years of lack of income and the rampant corrupt officials, there is no food in the treasury mansion to provide relief! Only a small number of wealthy families have set up porridge sheds to provide some porridge that is so thin that it can see rice grains! However, this cannot meet the needs of more and more refugees at all.
Among all prefectures and counties, more and more traffickers were gathering, and they started a rare carnival! The gentry and wealthy families from all over the country opened their bloody mouths, swallowed up the only remaining land and property of the farmers, and drove them away from the local area.
The bandits also flourished! They absorbed young and strong people to join their teams and strengthened their strength. Then they plundered wantonly! This made the refugees who were already living on the brink of death even worse!
As time goes by, some old and weak have begun to die! Without external forces, most of the remaining refugees will starve to death. Some can escape from their hometowns, and some will join the rebel army and bandits, becoming the source of disaster!
When Liu Pei closed the report, his hands were shaking! Because this report was too detailed! What does it look like from the countryside? What does the gentry look like? What does the government look like? What is the situation inside the land? It is presented to him in detail in the form of data!
The most terrifying thing is the final summary! It says coldly, "I'm afraid that the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi will not be able to provide disaster relief this time!" As for those victims, the report gives the lowest estimate of death: "No less than one million!"
Liu Pei sat in the room for a long time, until he thought about the matter clearly before and after, he got up and called the guard and said, "Prepare the boat, I want to go to Taiwan right away! Which Eagle-class ship is in the port?"
The Eagle-class ship Liu Pei mentioned refers to the fly-scissor ship. The initial fly-scissor ship was called the Black Swan. Later, the Navy felt that the Black Swan was lacking in murderous aura. He also thought that this kind of ship ran fast, so he simply changed the name of the Black Swan to the Black Eagle. So this level of fly-scissor ship was called the Eagle-class.
Later, three flying scissor ships of the same model were built, named Chiying, Feiying and Xiangying. These four flying scissors were specially designed to sail in Shandong, Ryukyu, Taiwan, Penghu, and Penghu to transport important figures and documents.
The guard replied: "Master, the Red Eagle is in Hong Kong today."
Liu Pei said: "It's him. In addition, he notified his wife and said that I had urgent official duties and went to Taiwan!"
