Chapter 231: A Great Nation Creates a Great Country (I)

The rain has stopped!

The torrential rain that ravaged Jiangxi Province and some areas of Zhili in southern Huguang for more than a month has finally stopped!

The devastation caused by the flood was indescribable, and the damage caused to the affected areas was enormous, with hundreds of villages washed away and countless civilians, officers and soldiers killed in the disaster.

It's a disaster, a complete disaster.

But as long as the natural disaster has passed, the damage is one-time, and the imperial courts of all dynasties have never been afraid of natural disasters, but they are only afraid of what happens after natural disasters.

After one catastrophe, there must be another.

Natural disasters will be followed by human disasters!

The most terrible destruction brought by natural disasters is not how many people are killed, but the destruction of the basic basis on which the people depend: food!

People will starve to death without food, and when people starve to death, people tend to do everything they can to survive.

This is the fundamental reason why the people have risen up.

Fortunately, in this huge natural disaster, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty won the hearts of the people with their own actions, and the people's recognition of the Ming court and Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, was highly respected, so even in the face of the dilemma of food shortage after the flood, the people chose to bear it silently, rather than using farm tools to gather together to storm the treasury of the official warehouse.

The simple people even took the initiative to help the government build roads and drain water, so that the grain from the official warehouse could be smoothly escorted to the major military camps.

Serve the army to eat first!

"Tighten your belt and not a single citizen will starve to death!"

After overcoming the flood and natural disasters, the Ming soldiers burst out with a high sense of honor and mission, but after cheering, they chose to carry food on their shoulders to every place where the people gathered, they were not even afraid of death, are they still afraid of hunger?

Since Zhu Di, the deputy commander-in-chief, all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have devoted themselves to disaster relief without hesitation after fighting the disaster.

This is a kind of military and civilian fish and water situation that is enough to move the heavens and the earth.

"Since ancient times, there has never been a case of the imperial court's temperate soldiers resisting natural disasters for the people, let alone providing disaster relief with military rations. The Ming Dynasty's pawn Wu Erlang died for the flood fight, and for the life of the people and was willing to starve, we were born as a Ming person, what an honor in the world.

Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the Ming soldiers, long live the emperor! ”

The situation of the disaster in Jiangxi is full of truth-seeking reports, and the heroic deeds in this disaster have been told to the world, and at the same time, an article signed by the queen of 'Ma Enhui' has moved the people of the world beyond words.

"From the palace to the bottom, the palace will have one meal a day, a bowl of vegetarian porridge, and all the food will be given priority to Jiangxi, and no one can starve to death if you tighten your belt!"

Righteousness moves the world, nothing more than that.

The Zhu family's country has not been moved by anyone for hundreds of years.

"Put the grain!"

Zhu Yunwen was holding a bowl of gruel, and he drank it with a good taste.

"All provinces organize people's roads, and they must send grain to Jiangxi as quickly as possible. Before the people are full, if I, the emperor, eat with a mouth full of oil, then I will be shameless in the world. ”

The power of example is endless!

Regardless of whether Zhu Yunwen's behavior was a show, sincere or false, when Zhu Yunwen picked up the porridge bowl and drank the clear soup and little water, Jiangxi, whether it was a provincial government or a grassroots official, spontaneously cut down on food and clothing, and sent food into every porridge shed in various prefectures and counties!

The emperor is saving Jiangxi, Quan Daming is also saving Jiangxi, and the people of Jiangxi are also saving themselves!

The relief led by the Jiangxi Chamber of Commerce raised nearly 4 million stone of grain into the people in just ten days, and such a huge amount of grain was enough for the whole of Jiangxi to eat for two months!

This is a life-saving food, and it is a life-saving food that is enough to support the imperial court to dredge all the main roads in Jiangxi, so that the support of the imperial court can rush into Jiangxi!

And at this juncture, something that really worried Zhu Yunwen happened:

Pestilence!

Tens of thousands of corpses were either crammed into rivers or exposed to the sun after heavy rains, and plagues inevitably arose.

The so-called plague is a contagious virus.

With the medical system of the Ming Dynasty, there is no large-scale treatment capacity for any epidemic, and this epidemic is not the notorious smallpox flu in Zhu Yunwen's memory, but a new unknown infection, the state of the disease is like malaria, but it is more serious than malaria.

"Now there are about dozens of infected people in Nanchang."

Zhu Yunwen's holy car arrived in Nanchang after the rain stopped, which can be regarded as being at the forefront of this disaster, and it inspired the fighting spirit of the people of Jiangxi to survive more closely.

"Arrange for isolation and treatment immediately."

Zhu Yunwen subconsciously spoke, but found that everyone's faces were a little tangled.

"What are you still doing in a daze, do it."

Zhu Di sighed, stood up and arched his hand: "This epidemic is different from the past, and there is no cure for good doctors, and even being infected, and now if you want to find a treatment plan, you have to be years and months, and I am afraid that the infection will spread and be out of control, so please let Your Majesty allow the ministers to shoot the epidemic people." ”

Zhu Yunwen's face twitched, and he stood up with a pat on the royal case, pointing at Zhu Di, his body trembling slightly.

"What did you say?"

The people are infected with the epidemic, as one of the leaders of this country, Zhu Di actually proposed to shoot the epidemic people?

"Killing one person can live a hundred, sin and mercy?"

Yan Zhenzhi sighed and stood up: "Your Majesty, the difficulty of treatment is too great, rather than isolating these people to fend for themselves, wailing and dying in the torment of illness and hunger, it is better to deal with it decisively, and then burn it with fire, which can be saved." ”

"One sin is the last general."

Henan Du commanded Tang Bi to walk out of the train and said indifferently: "I will do it at the end, and I should apologize for my guilt after I finish it." ”

The black cauldron can't be carried by the emperor, and now the military and the people are united and concentric, and it is the time when the prestige of the imperial court is at its highest.

"One case is found and one case is dealt with, so that the possibility of infection can be fundamentally blocked."

Yan Zhenzhi continued to persuade bitterly: "Now all the provinces in Jiangxi are restoring people's livelihood, checking the streets, in order to prevent the spread of corpse plague, the corpses have begun to be burned, at this juncture, do not be a woman's kindness, as long as these epidemic people who have been found out, there will be no phenomenon of one spread of ten, ten to hundred, this can live more people, otherwise once it spreads in the future, one city plague, ten city plague, the dead people will be worse than the flood." ”

Killing one can live a hundred, mercy or sin?

Zhu Yunwen understands this truth, but he can't open this mouth, because in his memory, every time there is an epidemic, the country is doing everything to protect and treat the people, and now the only thing he can do is to clean up these epidemic people?

"In those years when the minister was fighting in the north, if the steppe people were infected with the plague, they would lie naked on the grassland, cut their torsos with their blades, and attracted vultures to eat, and the heavenly burial was the highest affirmation for a warrior."

Zhu Di said silently: "Similarly, when the athletes under the command of the minister are infected, they will also bravely kill themselves, they would rather die than infect their siblings and comrades." ”

"Your Majesty, you shouldn't hesitate, let the last general do it."

Tang Bi continued to persuade, this general who had been on the front line of flood fighting and resisted the flood with his body for several days was also anxious at this time, his reputation would have been lost for centuries with this flood fight, but now he had to stand up and resist the infamy.

There is always someone who should do something for this country.

Zhu Yunwen closed his eyes, he had already made a decision.

As Zhu Di said, this is not the time for him to show mercy, Tang Bi will recite all the infamy, and will 'hide' from him, the emperor, to do this, and afterwards, Zhu Yunwen will 'notice', and then give Tang Bi death in a rage.

This matter will be buried forever.

Not only will the people of Jiangxi be safe, but his reputation as Zhu Yunwen Shengjun and Renjun will not be damaged.

"Go..."

Just as Zhu Yunwen was about to agree, outside the lobby, Deng Su, Jiangxi's right-hand political envoy, walked in.

"Your Majesty, those plague people, committed suicide!"

When these people found out that they were infected with the plague, and that it could not be cured, and that it would even infect others, they made the wrong choice.

There's always someone who can do something for this country!
