Jiangxi, Nanchang Province.

The Jiangxi political envoy Si Yamen, who sits on more than ten acres of land, is now busy up and down, and the reason for this is that Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, is coming.

"The Son of Heaven has arrived in Raozhou."

The fastest way from Nanjing to Nanchang is to go south to Jiujiang along the river, but when the sky is not beautiful, the heavy rain falls for several days, so that the Yangtze River is flooded in many places, and the Son of Heaven can only take the land route.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! ”

Zuo Bu's political envoy Fang Mengsheng urged in the palace one after another, and orders came from his mouth.

"The counties of Nanchang Prefecture will check the officials again, and all the ruffians and hooligans will be arrested and put in prison, and those who shout grievances every day or have unresolved disputes will be arrested, and they will be strictly guarded.

The officials on the left and right have received orders, and are about to go out to arrange, and a group of people have already entered outside the main hall, and the first person has a white face and beard, dressed in eunuch clothes, and followed by a team of brocade guards.

"The Oracle."

This voice frightened no one in the hall to dare to stand, and everyone gathered together to kneel.

"I came to Jiangxi this time, I don't want to disturb the stability of the place, Nanchang I won't enter, Jiangxi left and right political envoys, together with the inspection envoys, left and right to participate in politics, immediately come to Raozhou, and go to Ji'an Mansion with me."

"Minister's order."

Fang Mengsheng got up, approached the eunuch who was preaching the oracle with a shy face, and muttered, "How is the holy face?" ”

How is the holy face, literally to ask the emperor how he is in a mood, and a deeper meaning is to ask the emperor what is the reason if he is in a bad mood, and what is the reason if he is in a good mood.

can only ask to understand, and they can prepare the manuscript to face the saint.

Fang Mengsheng has been an official for so many years, and he has never seen what this Emperor Jianwen looks like now, so he can't help but be afraid.

"Fantai, let's think more about the mood of the people of Luling County."

The little eunuch glanced at Fang Mengsheng coldly, turned around and left, ignoring a jade wrench finger that the latter had secretly handed over.

What kind of offerings can be taken and what cannot be taken, they are clear in their hearts.

But this sentence in Luling County made Fang Mengsheng's cold sweat unstoppably revealed from the door of his head.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's go with this official to face the saint."

Even if someone wants to die, everyone will lose their heads together, Fang Mengsheng looked back at the large group of colleagues wearing red and purple behind him, and gritted his teeth: "At the beginning, this official wanted to send more people to Luling, but you blocked them one by one. ”

"What's the point of passing the buck now?"

According to the inspector Fang An, he snorted dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty only sees the flood disaster in Ji'an Mansion, but has you ever seen the danger of Jiujiang Mansion and Nanchang Mansion under the heavy rain for months?" I have waited for this period of time to do my best to keep Jiangxi from becoming a thousand miles of Zeguo, what is the responsibility?

It would have been nice to have a little rain to wash away the blood and filth all over the ground. I can't say, this abnormal rainstorm is the wrath of the heavens, after all, a few days ago, even the rare once-in-a-century image of bewilderment and guarding the heart came out. ”

"Hugh is in vain!"

This series of complaints and muttering frightened Fang Mengsheng to sit on the ground, thinking that his face was pale with fright, and he angrily pointed at Fang An: "If you want to punish the three clans, don't drag me to wait." ”

What does it mean to be angry from above, and what is it to guard the heart?

Fang An's words pushed all the responsibility to the emperor, and he was still holding back his thoughts and looking forward to the emperor's death.

Fang An also knew that he was speechless at the moment, so he was busy keeping silent and not saying more.

"Okay, don't say that you don't have any of these, think about what you say after facing the saint."

Deng Su, the political envoy of the right cloth, stood up and became a peacemaker, and diverted this terrifying topic: "Your Majesty must be for the people of Luling County to gather for trouble, but fortunately, a few days ago, we sent an edict to send people to appease us and have stabilized, and the people have also received disaster relief grain and returned home, and the so-called rebellion has been ignored, so don't mention it."

It is better to organize flood prevention and disaster relief matters in various places, and to do things in a down-to-earth manner than anything else, Your Majesty's holy eyes are like torches, and you can see our hard work, so you will not be more responsible. ”

Several people looked at each other a few more times, and finally sighed in fear, left listlessly from the palace, and called the little servant to summon the chariot and go in the direction of Raozhou.

On the shore of Poyang Lake, heavy rain pours.

The 50,000 troops of the Beijing camp set up a large camp here, guarding Poyang County behind them and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's raining a lot."

It is also strange to say that although there is rain in Nanjing, it is all light rain, and it rains intermittently, but when it comes to the inland Jiangxi, it is like pouring all day long.

"Jiangxi is also an important granary of our Ming Dynasty, this rain is falling like this, I am afraid that many embankments will have to report danger, once the flood is aggravated, it will not hurt a few counties like Ji'an Prefecture."

The prefect of Raozhou Mansion knelt not far from Zhu Yunwen and was trembling, and when he heard this, he was busy responding: "The minister has been busy preparing migrant workers to build the embankment along Poyang Lake these days, but the manpower is really limited. ”

Even if Zhu Yunwen does not have access to water conservancy, he also knows how harmful this kind of rain is, during the summer flood, the horizontal line in Jiangxi has risen a lot, and now there is such a heavy rain at the end, and the hidden danger is too great.

"It doesn't seem like the people alone can do it right now."

Zhu Yunwen frowned and shouted: "The herald is to leave 50,000 people in Beijing to defend Nanjing, and the rest of the people will come to Jiangxi."

The military household guards in Henan, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Huguang were all summoned to Jiangxi, and this battle of flood control must be won. ”

How efficient can it be to rely on thousands of ordinary people everywhere to build river embankments? Later generations will always rely on the power of the state for emergency rescue and disaster relief.

Mobilize troops to build embankments and canals?

The commander of Jiangxi was stunned: "Your Majesty, the guard and the army are important weapons of the country, and they should not be used lightly." ”

Since ancient times, soldiers are only responsible for fighting, what does the place have to do with their soldiers?

"I don't know that the army is the most important weapon of the country, but don't forget, the people are also the important weapon of the country."

Zhu Yunwen glanced at Li Mao slightly, and scared the latter to sweat.

"Our Ming soldiers are not born to raise, which one is not a son and nephew, a brother, my Ming generals are the people's soldiers, the current flood situation in Jiangxi is so urgent, once the embankments of the estuaries are broken, hundreds of thousands of people will be displaced, at that time, what face will I have to look at the people of the world, and what face will I have to return to my hometown to see my father and relatives?"

Hundreds of thousands of athletes in Beijing, plus the local military household guards in Henan, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Huguang, and Jiangxi, there are at least nearly 780,000 people, and such a huge volume is enough to ensure that Jiangxi will not be in danger of overturning.

As for expenses, sooner or later the money and food will be earned.

"Yes, the slave will send someone to give orders."

Shuangxi turned around and wanted to leave, and Zhu Yunwen's voice sounded in his ears again.

"Use 800 miles to expedit, and all those who delay their beaks during the flood will be beheaded."
