He stabilized his body, but saw that Zhu Yujiao on the side still fell, so he hurriedly reached out to help.

Zhu Yujiao was a little disgraced, and while holding Zhang Mingwei's hand tightly and standing up, she asked a little panicked: "Sir, what's wrong?" ”

At this time, there was also a Jinyi guard captain rushing in, and the leader was Liu Jin, all of whom looked panicked.

However, when he saw that Zhang Mingwei and Zhu Yujiao were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's an earthquake!" Zhang Mingwei replied to Zhu Yujiao, and then saw that she didn't seem to understand very well for a while, so he added, "The earth dragon turned over!" ”

In later generations, Zhang Mingwei personally experienced an earthquake, and it was also when he traveled to Sichuan, but the magnitude was not large.

Unexpectedly, after crossing, he encountered an earthquake in Sichuan!

Here, as expected, is the hometown of the Earth Dragon!

However, he did not remember that at this time there were records of earthquakes here.

According to later records, in Jianchang, there are recorded major earthquakes in the 15th year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1536), the 10th year of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty (1732), and the 30th year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty (1850). Of course, Zhang Mingwei did not know these details.

It's now the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and there was an earthquake!

It may be that at this time, the war is in chaos, and for the earthquake, the man-made disaster is even more tragic, so no one cares about the earthquake!

Of course, it is also possible that the magnitude of this earthquake is not high, so the people of Sichuan, who are accustomed to seeing earthquakes, do not bother to record it?

Thinking so, Zhang Mingwei asked Liu Jindao: "How about the loss?" ”

Even if the magnitude of this earthquake is not high, even the people standing are shaken and fallen, it should still be a bit big, right? In this era, you can only guess.

Liu Jin heard this, and hurriedly replied: "As soon as the earth dragon turned over, I immediately rushed over, and the other circumstances are not known yet." ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, and went out to see the situation by himself.

When I got out of the Chinese military tent, I saw that everything was fine in the barracks. After all, there are only tents set up here, and the people are all elite soldiers, so they may have panicked at first, but when Zhang Mingwei came out, they had all recovered as before.

However, many people were looking at Jianchang City, and Zhang Mingwei also looked up, but saw that it was dusty over there, and they could see it very clearly.

At first sight, he knew that it was estimated that many houses in Jianchang City had collapsed, which was why so much dust was raised.

So, Zhang Mingwei didn't think about it, and immediately sent an order, ordered 5,000 troops, and immediately drove into Jianchang City to relieve the disaster.

When the earthquake happened, it was just noon, and at this time, most people were in the house.

Zhang Mingwei himself also followed to Jianchang City and came to the city to see the situation.

In this earthquake, there are cracks in the city wall of Jianchang, but as soon as you enter the city gate, you can see the houses in the city, many of which have collapsed. Crying, moaning in pain, and screams of panic are mixed together, and it makes people very panic when they hear it.

So, Zhang Mingwei immediately ordered: "Ma Ke, you lead five hundred people to see Bai Guangen's situation first." The others immediately dispersed into the city to save the people. If you want to be wounded, send them out of the city at once. ”

"Yes!" When Ma Ke and the others heard this, they immediately agreed, ordered five hundred people, and rushed directly to see Bai Guangen's situation.

Zhu Yujiao, who was following Zhang Mingwei, also immediately issued an order, asking the health soldiers to prepare to rescue the people, and other soldiers to assist in building an ambulance station.

On the streets, many people who fled were dumbfounded by the collapsed houses; Or rush back into the ruins, shouting to pull through the ruins, apparently saving people.

At this time, they saw a group of soldiers in red uniforms entering the city, based on instinct, there was no indifference or hatred in their eyes, but panicked and shouted loudly at the soldiers of the Ming army.

However, they basically used local dialect, and the soldiers of the Ming army could not understand it at all. However, just by looking at their expressions, you can tell what they are trying to say!

In itself, the soldiers of the Ming army were ordered to enter the city to provide disaster relief, so without saying a word, they immediately divided three or five seven or eight people to help every family in need.

The soldiers of the Ming army on the street were like a red river, and as soon as they entered the city, they scattered everywhere.

After only a while, I saw that the soldiers of the Ming army had been scattered in every household in the city, carefully carrying the mud in the ruins, etc., rescuing the people or soldiers buried in the ruins, etc., if they found that they were injured, they all carried them or carried them on their backs and went out of the city.

In this process, the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty became the most important voice in the city.

"Someone here is being crushed, come on, be careful!"

"One, two, three, hard!"

"Don't worry, we're here to save you, we'll get you out soon!"

"Be careful, his leg is broken, find a stretcher to carry him!"

“……”

Whether they understood it or not, seeing the soldiers of the Ming army doing their best to rescue them, the people who escaped were a little shocked. Looking at their appearance, it seems that the performance of the court officials and soldiers is very unexpected to them.

After a short while, the wounded were sent to a temporary military camp outside the city, that is, a temporary ambulance station.

The health guards were already on standby and immediately began to rescue them.

The damage caused by the earthquake is actually similar to the damage caused by the war, so the health soldiers are very skilled, and they can quickly fix the bones, bandage, stop the bleeding, etc. Of course, there are also very unfortunate ones that require amputation, and that is major surgery.

These injured people, as well as the relatives who followed, also instinctively thanked when they saw this scene. I can't understand what I said, but I can feel it.

At this time, in their eyes, there is nothing else but the injured relatives.

Zhang Mingwei was at the head of the city, looking at the city, there were collapsed houses everywhere, and the busy figures of the Ming soldiers, he was a little worried, and immediately ordered Liu Jindao: "Send someone back immediately to see how many places this earthquake has affected?" Pass my order, if the local government is not manpowered, immediately send the army to participate in the disaster relief! ”

At this time, unlike in later generations, after the disaster, you can know what the situation is in other places with a phone call, and you can only send someone to contact and check, and it will take a lot of time to know how big the scope of the earthquake is and how big the damage is.

When Liu Jin heard this, he immediately agreed, and then hurriedly went to make arrangements.

At this time, Bai Guangen came in a hurry, disgraced, but it could be seen that he was fine.

He already knew that Xingguo Gong was fine, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then reported the disaster to Zhang Mingwei, but it was basically a report on the situation in the army.

Because the earthquake occurred at noon, the soldiers reacted a little faster, less than 10 percent were injured, and even fewer were stoned to death if they were unlucky, only about a dozen people.

As for the people, he didn't care. But from the top of the city, you can basically understand that half of the people did not escape.

However, at this time, there were all bungalows in Jianchang City, and there were no high-rise buildings, generally speaking, even if they were buried, the possibility of being stoned to death was still very small.

"What's this called?" Bai Guangen couldn't help but complain, "This thief has no clue, but he encountered the earth dragon and turned over, it really happened that the house was leaking and it was raining!" ”

Zhang Mingwei listened, looking at the situation of the Ming soldiers and the people in the city mixed together, but his heart moved, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, for the thieves, it may not be a bad thing!

Zhu Yujiao on the side listened to it, and couldn't help but be a little dissatisfied: "Just your crow's mouth, look at it, it's really going to rain!" ”

When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he looked up and saw that it was not, the dark clouds on the horizon began to gather, and it was estimated that it would not be long before it would rain heavily.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Mingwei became nervous and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, step up to save people." There are no injured soldiers on your side, and they immediately start to save people. ”

"Also, the places where the soldiers and people in the city need to shelter from the wind, and the remaining military tents are all set up in high places."

“……”

One after another, military orders were handed down, and Bai Guangen hurriedly took the orders and left. The uproar in the city was even louder.

After a while, the people were probably rescued from the rubble. However, there are still many people who are looking for valuable things in their ruins, or food and other things.

There are even some people who take advantage of the chaos and collect property that does not belong to them. Then, when the owner returns, there will be a big fight.

As soon as this happens, nearby soldiers will immediately rush to stop it. Needless to say, those who want to take advantage of the chaos to loot their belongings will be immediately imprisoned.

In short, because of the presence of the military, some natural disasters are often followed by man-made disasters that do not occur on a large scale.

After about half an hour, the clouds were clear, and everyone knew that soon there would be a heavy rain.

In the face of these circumstances, the people affected by the disaster cursed the thief God, and at the same time hurried to find a place to shelter from the rain, as well as the property looted from the ruins, many of which could not be caught in the rain.

However, under the ruins, even if you can hide from someone, where can the family hide? And the belongings, and what to do when it's dark? At this time, most of the people were confused with pain.

However, there were soon gongs and drums on the street, and then, a group of soldiers followed behind the literary and artistic soldiers, listening to the Sichuan girls shouting in various local dialects.

"Folks, Guogong has prepared a place for everyone to shelter from the rain, hurry up and bring your family over, it will rain heavily in a while."

"Let's go outside the city to rest overnight, it will rain heavily immediately, and we won't be able to stay in the city!"

“……”

Hearing these words, seeing that it was a woman who was shouting, many people were suspicious: Can the officials and soldiers of the court have such good intentions? The Tusi Boss has said that these court officials and soldiers are cats crying and mice are fake compassion, and they only pretend to be good people because they want to occupy this place, and they will soon reveal their murderous nature.

However, they also have eyes, and when they saw the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, they came to help as soon as the earth dragon turned over!
