Under the rule of Qin Huaidao, everything in the Han Dynasty maintained superficial unity. Although it seemed to be stable, in fact, there was an undercurrent surging. It only took an opportunity to fully explode.
This is true for any change of dynasty, not to mention that after he established a new dynasty, he immediately used the rights of these old nobles.
In August of the early Han Dynasty, there was a loud sound in the sky, indicating that the flood had finally arrived.
The surging flood of the Yellow River rushed down from the upper reaches like a man-eating tiger. After crossing countless dams, it finally collapsed from the Sanmenxia river defense. Even with the blessing of sacks of sand, it could not stop the huge flood peak. Since then,
The river defenses on the front line from Sanmenxia, Hukou, Xiaolangdi to Zhengzhou completely collapsed. Feng Jizhang, who was holding on to the front line, organized everyone to hold on for seven days and nights, but was finally defeated by the monstrous flood. A large number of government troops and river workers were swept into the bottom of the Yellow River when the dam broke.
Completely losing his chance of survival, Feng Jizhang was able to escape with his life under the protection of everyone.
The lower reaches of the Yellow River completely became Zeguo.
The Lanzhou dam was jointly defended by Chen Wang, Jingzhiyi and Jiang Yusheng, and they managed to survive the highest flood peak and protect thousands of miles of fertile soil in Lanzhou. After surviving the flood peak, Chen Wang ordered Lanzhou Bijia and Wang Heng to guard the dam in the Jingzhi area, while he himself
He led Jiang Yusheng and the government troops to the lower reaches for support.
Capital Chang'an.
At the general meeting, officials reported the damage to various state roads.
"Your Majesty, the dams along Henan Road have collapsed, and the entire Henan Prefecture has been flooded. The floods have covered thousands of miles. It is conservatively estimated that the number of affected households is up to one million households. The floods are flowing towards the downstream plains and may expand again."
"Gyeonggi Province has been completely occupied, many cities have been flooded, and relief supplies have also been damaged."
"Jinju, Hadong Province, has been completely affected by the disaster, and the disaster is also spreading to surrounding areas. If the dam is not blocked in time, half of Hadong Province will suffer."
"Your Majesty, the entire lower reaches of the Yellow River have been affected by the disaster, and millions of households have been displaced. The Central Plains is the granary of our Han Dynasty. After this flood, the food of our Han Dynasty may not be able to survive the winter. If the people no longer have food supplies, they may once again change their children and eat.
image."
The collapse of the Yellow River defense came faster than Qin Huaidao imagined. This cannot be entirely blamed on the court's scheduling problems. Any scheduling involving such a large area and many manpower will cause various problems. Qin Huaidao can only try his best to ensure that
The best support along the Yellow River, but any minor changes occur along the way, such as rainfall in the Yellow River far exceeding expectations, a river worker slacking off and failing to report in time, someone cutting corners on river embankment materials, or officials in key positions evacuating early, etc., all of which will lead to uncontrollable results.
.
Countless small-probability uncontrollables eventually led to the current large-scale uncontrollable result.
The five important ministers of the Ministry of State looked up to the sky and sighed.
Natural disasters are unstoppable, which is the greatest feeling of powerlessness as an ancient subject.
Even Qin Huaidao, a man who traveled through time, could not lead them to completely resist such a natural disaster, and could only try to remedy it through later arrangements.
For a time, the whole court was full of sighing people.
Only on the dragon throne, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty did not say a word.
Seeing that all the ministers were sighing, Qin Huaidao narrowed his eyes slightly, knowing that the matter had reached a deadlock. They also knew that there was no way to turn around. The more this happened, the more they needed the belief that they would win.
Thinking of this, Qin Huaidao pointed at the ministers and cursed loudly: "You mediocre ministers are busy all day long, talking and sharing my worries. What's wrong? In the face of a big disaster, how do you act like a woman? You know that the Yellow River can hear your sighs.
Will the flood stop because you sigh?"
"The common people of the Han Dynasty are still waiting for you. Some of them are as old as seventy, and some are only five or six years old. They are eagerly waiting for you, hoping that the officials in Chang'an who are not in danger of floods will come up with a way to save them.
Save them instead of just feeling melancholy!"
"Tell me, what are your ideas?"
Qin Huaidao's words shocked the court, and the ministers no longer dared to show their sorrowful expressions. They just whispered in low voices, not knowing what they were talking about. Only His Majesty's questions were answered by no one.
Qin Huaidao can't control that much. Now only by mobilizing all manpower and material resources to support the Yellow River, can we ensure the safety of one side.
"Since no one has any ideas, let me tell you."
"Since there is a serious disaster in the Yellow River, Chang'an must do its best to rescue it. I have decided to send most of the Jin Yiwei and the Emperor's personal troops to the Yellow River to provide disaster relief. The Jin Yiwei and the garrison will follow me to personally block the breach of the embankment. The rest of the troops will be personally led by Mr. Li Jing.
, responsible for rescuing victims in various places."
"Xue Rengui is in charge of Chang'an's capital defense and is on guard against Xiaoxiao taking the opportunity to attack Chang'an. Master Fang Xuanling is in charge of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' logistical supplies. Secretary Supervisor Wei Shuwan is responsible for the flow of information throughout the world. We must ensure smooth communication between all parties without errors."
"Guo Xiaoke from the Department of Agriculture, Liu Yanjing's Workshop, and Wang Xuance from the Currency Department each perform their duties to ensure that I have materials, money and food available. If necessary, I can use the resources in Daye City to cooperate."
"Where is Xue Yuanchao?"
Xue Yuanchao was originally affiliated with the Dahan Business Department as a business editor. He had no official rank. He was only allowed to participate in the Dachao meeting because of his special nature, so he is here today.
"I'm here."
"Chang'an Daily does a good job in publishing and publicizing articles. The more difficult the period is, the more we must praise the spirit of living towards death. I ask you to discover the evocative and tearful deeds in the flood and spread them widely, so that the people can be calm even if they are in danger.
It can inspire the courage to survive." Qin Huaidao ordered.
"I accept the decree."
"Cheng Chu silently returned to Southeast Asia to take command of the various ministries in Southeast Asia, waiting to return to the capital when I need it. The rest of the people should perform their duties without mistakes. I want this big man to save one more person, and he will save one more person.
If you block one dam, you will block more dams. In the face of a major disaster, you can no longer waste your time. I am here to say that anyone who is beneficial to disaster relief can be killed first and later reported, and there will never be a settlement later."
"Do you understand?"
Seeing His Majesty's power, all the ministers now knew very well what the Han Emperor wanted to do. He wanted to implement what he had said.
All officials, including himself, are public servants of the people.
Since you are a public servant of the people, you should take the lead and be at the forefront.
"I understand."
"Okay, Luo Wu listens to the order and leads most of the Jinyi Guards to follow me as I remove my armor and set off!"
On this trip, he took Li Chunfeng with him. After the scientific examination, this person was temporarily placed in the Literature Museum to help Chu Suiliang handle affairs. Now that Chu Suiliang was transferred to Jiangnan East Road as the acting supervisor, he actually became the actual controller of the Literature Museum.
Because he knew astronomy and geography, and was very proficient in arithmetic and feng shui, Qin Huaidao decided to take this person with him.
In addition to him, there were two other people, Luo Wuluozhang.
He did not bring Wang Shengzhi's sniper regiment with him, and he had transferred most of the Imperial Guards and garrison troops out of the capital. If the sniper regiment were to be transferred again, Chang'an's defense would be in danger.
