Chapter 337 The emperor is a Han Chinese, the iron evidence will be like a mountain
Rain can relieve the heat, but too much can cause disaster.
On May 9th, Jingling Minister-in-Chief Jia Jiashikai reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that due to recent heavy rains in Zunhua, mudslides had occurred in many places in Changrui Mountain, and there was serious water accumulation in some areas of Jingling. He hoped that the Ministry of Internal Affairs could send personnel to help Jingling.
The Lingzongguan Yamen eliminates waterlogging.
Jin Jian, one of the ministers in charge, saw Jingling's report and did not take it seriously. He ordered Jingling to contact the General Military Office of Malan Town and ask Malan Town to send green battalion soldiers if necessary.
Helps drain water.
In the next few days, God may have taken a breath and stopped raining again, but on the night of the 13th, there was another violent storm in the Changrui Mountain area.
According to the elders of the Eight Banners guarding the mausoleum, they had never seen such heavy rain.
The rain was so heavy that it was as if God had moved a lake over Zunhua, and the pouring water was indescribable.
Neither humans nor animals can leave the house at all.
The visual distance is less than three feet in wind and rain.
Several of the thatched huts owned by the general manager's yamen were overturned.
When the heavy rain stopped the next day, the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum suddenly discovered that many trees in the mausoleum had been blown down by the wind, and a piece of the top of the Shengde Shenggong stele pavilion had collapsed.
Almost one-third of the entire mausoleum was flooded with water up to the knees. However, before Director Jia could organize the officers and soldiers to remove the water, even worse news came.
The heavy rain last night caused the water level of the Ganma River to rise a few miles west of Changrui Mountain. Zunhua Prefecture notified Xiaoling and Jingling, the two main administrative offices, saying that the embankments in some river sections showed signs of instability and requested the relevant departments of the imperial mausoleum.
Jia Liu was also panicking. Although Emperor Shengzuren had been living on the water bed for a long time, the water was under control. The embankment was about to collapse, and the flood flowed into Jingling along the drainage channel of Jidi. Not only Emperor Shengzuren
Unlucky, he, the grave-seeker, will also be unlucky.
Moreover, there are a large number of people living around the imperial mausoleum. Although due to the uneven terrain, not all people will be affected by the disaster, Director Jia loves the people like his own children. Even if one of his families is flooded, he will feel uneasy.
Disaster situation is military situation!
Without any hesitation, Jia Liu immediately led the soldiers of the Eight Banners guarding the mausoleum to join the rescue work of reinforcing the river embankment. He also sent people to Malan Town and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask the two major units to quickly mobilize manpower and material resources to participate in the emergency relief project of the imperial mausoleum.
After Jiang Xueyi, the commander-in-chief of Malan Town, received the emergency call from the imperial mausoleum, he immediately arrived with more than 900 officers and soldiers led by Wang Guangcai, the prefect of Zunhua.
When they arrived at the place, General Jiang and Magistrate Wang were shocked by the scene before them.
Lord Jia Jia, the chief minister in charge of Jinling, was leading his officers and soldiers to pack soil into sacks and bake it under the scorching sun to strengthen the embankment.
"I feel relieved now that you are here!"
I saw Jia Jia, the commander of Malan Army and the prefect of Zunhua who rushed in for reinforcements, wearing only a pair of shorts and braids around his neck, with a layer of oily skin rubbed off his shoulders by sacks, and his hands and feet were white with blisters.
Sir, I can't help but feel a little excited.
The two Han officials were dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Manager Jia Jia, who was both a disciple of the Eight Banners and his consort, could actually take the lead. It was really admirable.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also came.
After receiving an urgent report from Jingling that the Ganma River might burst its embankment and endanger the imperial mausoleum, Prince Yongrong of Zhijun could not sit still no matter what. He hurried into the palace to ask for instructions from Huang Ama, and then took the chief minister Jin Jian and the newly promoted chief minister He.
Shen rushed to Changrui Mountain at full speed.
When everyone arrived, they could see countless officers, soldiers and people lined up in a line several miles long, reinforcing the river embankment in an orderly manner.
The gaps are all blocked.
Seeing this, all the ministers including Yong Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
He Shen dismounted his horse and grabbed an Eight Banners veteran who was delivering food to the river embankment and asked, "Where is your manager?"
Seeing a senior official asking about the steward, the Eight Banners veteran who delivered the meal immediately pointed to the distance and said in a proud voice: "Over there, the steward!"
Everyone followed the gestures of the Eight Banners veterans and saw hundreds of officers and soldiers building a human wall in the water on the outside of the river embankment so that the reinforced wood could be driven into the water smoothly.
And who is the leader if not Jia Jiashikai, the minister in charge of Jingling!
"Hey, shout, work harder, protect the emperor's mausoleum, save the people, and repay the Qing Dynasty."
Following the slogan from Jia Jia's mouth, the Eight Banners officers and soldiers, the Green Camp officers and soldiers, and the local people who participated in the rescue were all excited and full of energy.
Really, what kind of officials there are, what kind of soldiers there are, and what kind of people there are.
The danger was finally eliminated with the united efforts of the military and civilians.
After landing on the shore, Jia Liu was very excited when he saw He Shen. When he saw several officials he didn't recognize next to him, one of them was dressed as a county king.
In an instant, Jia Liu fainted.
When the panicked crowd carried him to find the doctor, Jia Liu, who woke up and was still conscious, kept muttering: "Don't worry about me, we must guard the embankment, we must guard the imperial mausoleum! Brothers, hold on, we must
Hold on!"
The heroic deeds of Jia Jiashikai, director of the Jingling Administrative Committee, soon became known to both the government and the public.
It is said that Prince Zhi choked up twice when reporting to Emperor Ama, saying that he had never seen such a loyal minister to the Qing Dynasty in his life.
Jin Jian, the chief minister, also reported to the emperor what he saw and heard truthfully. He also spoke highly of Jia Jiashikai, the chief minister in charge of Jingling, praising him for "having the courage to take responsibility, taking the lead, not afraid of danger, and worthy of being a capable minister."
After the emperor carefully questioned He Shen, the decree came out: "Jia Jiashikai will be appointed as Dongling General Manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The grade is still the third grade, but in addition to Jingling, its jurisdiction also includes Xiaoling and Yuling, which was prepared for Qianlong himself.
Commonly known as the Minister in Charge of Dongling.
After receiving the order, Jia Liu couldn't help but sigh to Liu Heyi: "The old man has upgraded me from a gravekeeper to a funeral director."
Liu Heyi couldn't understand.
Jia Liu didn't explain too much to him, he just smiled and said: "Call me Director Jia from now on."
He looked around and found no Shuan Zhu, so he asked Liu Heyi where Shuan Zhu had gone.
Liu Heyi shook his head and said he didn't know, and asked Director Jia when he would officially report the water seepage in the underground palace. He had already tied up a large number of counterfeiters to Xiaozhai, and initially they had done more than a dozen cases.
"At present, Mr. Gu and the others have just rushed out and have not yet swept across Huguang. They have to go to Wuchang City."
Jia Liu went straight to Zhuan Zhu. Now that we were no longer fighting floods and rescuing people, we had to start work on the three major projects quickly.
After a long search, I finally found him in the Zhuzhu Room.
To Jia Liu's surprise, Shuan Zhu actually released the old man and his wife from the sacks, and knelt beside them as if they were meditating on something with the old monk.
"How about letting the old lady let it out in the air? Wait for the sun to come out and take it out to bask in the sun."
Jia Liuyi was right. It rained every day during this period, so don't let the old man and his wife get moldy.
Shuan Zhu opened his eyes but looked excited: "Master, I found evidence that the emperor is a Han!"
