Shandong Governor Zhao Yanjuan:

On the night of the sixth day of the first lunar month, the ground of Yuncheng cracked and the spring gushed, the sound was like thunder, the chickens and dogs barked, and the walls and houses collapsed.

The minister and the governor of Denglai, Yuan Keli, and other inspectors, Caozhou, Chengwu, Caoxian, Puzhou, Chaocheng, Jinxiang, and Yutai all had a great earthquake.

The ground fissure spreads to the place, there are Yanzhou Mansion Dong'e, Pingyin, Dongpingzhou, Wenshang, Dingtao; Jinan Licheng, Jiyang, Qidong, Zouping, Yangxin, Zichuan, Xintai.

Dongchang Mansion Liaocheng, Shen County, Pavilion Pottery; Qinghe, Jize, Feixiang, Cheng'an, Guangping Province; Luoyang, Yanshi, Henan Province; Kaifeng Fuqi County, Weishi.

There are more than 30 prefectures, prefectures and counties in Shangqiu, Suizhou, Luyi, Yangwu and Xuzhou, Xiaoxian, Peixian and Fengxian provinces.

In the six prefectures of Shandong alone, the city walls collapsed by more than 7,900 zhang, more than 11,800 houses collapsed, more than 16,000 livestock were crushed to death, and more than 12,000 men and women were crushed.

In the rest of the provinces, their houses were destroyed, their cities were broken, and the casualties of the people were innumerable.

After this earthquake, the city of Shandong Liufu has been greatly reduced, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people have been added, waiting to be fed. However, the warehouses were sold out early, and the ministers dared to give His Majesty food and silver immediately to provide disaster relief and peace to the people! ”

Zhu Youxiao closed the notebook, and his face was a little solemn.

Judging from the transcript alone, the epicenter of this major earthquake was Yuncheng, Shandong, but the aftershocks also affected Henan and Huguang provinces.

Judging from the experience of later generations, the magnitude of the earthquake will not be less than six.

If such a severe earthquake occurred at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it would obviously make the overstretched finances even worse, and the already deplete armaments of various localities would also be even weaker.

Once there is any rebellion, Shandong has almost no power to resist!

Every time I am wrong, Xu Hongru will rebel in Shandong in a few months, and he must prepare in advance to prevent trouble.

The impact of such a catastrophe at this time was almost no less than that of the Wenchuan earthquake in later generations.

As the emperor and the supreme ruler of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao had to lead the imperial court to respond immediately and do everything possible to save more people from suffering.

First of all, it is necessary to settle the people affected by the disaster and determine the real situation of the disaster in various localities as quickly as possible.

Secondly, it is to nip the "Xu Hongru Uprising" in history in the bud!

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao sorted out his thoughts in his mind, threw down the notebook of Zhao Yan, the governor of Shandong, and said:

"Spread the word, order Yang Zhaoji to lead his troops from Suzhou to move to Yuncheng, Zhang Bang and the people, if anyone takes the opportunity to make trouble, there will be no mercy!"

After speaking, seeing the little eunuch running to the celebrant to announce the decree, Zhu Youxiao turned his gaze to the two ministers of Xinuan Pavilion, and asked lightly:

"Wang Zaijin, what do you have to say?"

In fact, after hearing the news of the earthquake in Shandong, Henan, and Huguang provinces, Wang Zaijin was thinking about how to minimize the losses.

At this moment, if the emperor asked this, he also calmly responded, got up and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that just based on Zhao Yan's note, it is not possible to conclude the disaster situation in Shandong, Henan, and Huguang provinces."

"The imperial court needs to immediately send a large number of officials to various places to find out the real situation, and order them to go to the place at any time to talk about things and go directly to the Xinuan Pavilion."

"After finding out the situation of the disaster in each region, we can discuss in the cabinet department how to divide materials and manpower in each region to effectively provide disaster relief."

"You're right, I'm thinking so." Zhu Youxiao bowed his head and said:

"It's just that when we find out the situation in various places, we will hold ministerial discussions and discussions, at least for a month, and at most for half a year, can the imperial court afford to wait, and the people affected by the disaster can afford to wait?"

Wang Zaijin also said: "Your Majesty's benevolence and love for the people are beyond the reach of the ministers." ”

The current Zhu Youxiao really doesn't have the heart to listen to any sycophants, and when he thinks of the TV series about the Wenchuan earthquake in later generations, he can't wait to immediately send the army to disaster relief.

"Wang Zaijin, from now on, I will take you as the minister of the Qin mission and rush to Yuncheng, Shandong Province to preside over disaster relief matters."

"What's the difficulty, but it's okay!"

Wang Jaejin was clearly taken aback by such a quick decision.

Throughout the ages, such a major earthquake in several provinces, the imperial court's disaster relief has been discussed for a long time and then carefully arranged.

On the day of receiving the note, the imperial court appointed a minister to rush to the disaster area, which was the first case!

"The incident happened suddenly, and it is really difficult to do this with the strength of the ministers alone, please send two people to help you!" Wang Zaijin thought for a moment, and then said.

Zhu Youxiao sat quietly, tapped his fingers on the imperial case, pondered for a moment, and said:

"Speak!"

"Yang Sichang, the Huaibei Salary Division, the Shao Zhan Shi Wen Tiren of the Zhan Mansion in Nanjing, the Huaibei Provinces were hungry in the first year of the Apocalypse, and they all helped the ministers to make great efforts..."

Wang Zaijin's words stopped at the point, and as soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, and his heart was worried.

He was timid in his heart, and recommended these two people this time, first, although their reputation was not good, they did work much harder than those who talked about local disasters.

The second is that Wang Zaijin also has selfishness about himself.

The emperor's heart, the needle under the sea.

If you want to use these two people, you will naturally use them, but if you don't want to use them, no matter how much he introduces, it will not help.

Zhu Youxiao frowned lightly and looked at him quietly.

After a few breaths, Fang said lightly:

"The messenger ordered the king to be the minister of the Qin mission in Jin, and sent 1.5 million taels of silver to Shandong to preside over the disaster relief.

In addition, Yang Sichang, the Huaibei Salary Division, was promoted to the political envoy of Shandong Chengxuan Political Envoy Zuobu for his meritorious service in Huaibei's famine.

Nanjing Zhan Shi Mansion Shao Zhan Shi Wen Tiren was also promoted to Shandong Provincial Inspector Imperial History.

Assist the minister, disaster relief, no mistake! ”

After Wang Zaijin left, Zhu Youxiao called Xu Xianchun and said quietly:

"Recently, I got a secret report that the Shandong Wenxiang Sect is about to move, and there is a man named Xu Hongru who is plotting to rebel."

"You personally go to the Shandong Supervision Division, and during the Jin disaster relief period, Wang will report his disaster relief every three days, and I will know about it."

"Also, the matter of the Smelling Fragrance Sect should be secretly investigated, and it should be heard clearly, don't startle the snake in advance!"

"If there is a crisis, you can't ask me for instructions, you can also go to Yang Zhaoji, and say that I mean."

Speaking of the Wenxiang Sect, Xu Xianchun is very familiar with it, it is an old rival.

Everyone in the world knows that the Wenxiang Sect was founded by a man named Wang Sen in Shifokou, Luanzhou, Hebei Province during the Wanli Dynasty.

At that time, Xu Xianchun was only a teenager, and he was a small flag official in the Fusi of Beizhen, and he had taken care of the famous Wang Sen.

This guy was tortured, and his mouth was quite hard at first, and finally he was recruited from the truth.

He claimed to have saved a fox, the fox cut off its tail and gave it, there was a strange fragrance, so as to call on the disciples, many people were attached, so it was called the Wenxiang Sect, and the self-proclaimed Wenxiang Sect Master, the followers spread throughout Hebei, Shandong, Jiangxi, Jin, Henan, Qin, Sichuan and other places.

It is also said that the Wenxiang Sect believes in the Buddha of the Burning Lamp, the Buddha of Shakya, and the Buddha of the Future, and preaches what kind of three-year calamity and return to the source are preached in the Fusi of Beizhen.

What is surprising is that at that time, there was really a lieutenant of the Zhenfu Division who believed it, taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, he did not hesitate to give up his life to save Wang Sen from prison.

Of course, this is useless, Wang Sen escaped a few years later and was arrested back in prison, and that time Beizhen Fusi also made a ruthless hand and directly tortured him to death.

In fact, I don't want to ask anything, I just want to kill him.

Xu Xianchun didn't understand what Wang Sen said, and he wasn't interested, he was trying to climb up.

Anyway, in Xu Xianchun's opinion at that time, the Wenxiang Sect and the White Lotus Sect had the same origin, and they were both cults that intended to shake the Daming Society.

Since it is a cult, it must be completely eliminated, and if the cult is eliminated, it can be reused by the emperor and make meritorious contributions to the society.

This time he took this errand, Xu Xianchun was also sneering in his heart, saying that the road was narrow, and the old acquaintance met again.

He hugged his fists and said:

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister had taken care of Wang Sen in his early years, and Xu Hongru had also escaped in the hands of the minister, and he was very familiar with the set of Wenxiang Sect. This time I went to Shandong, I must have revenge, revenge, and uprooting the Wenxiang Sect for His Majesty! ”

"With your words, I will be much more relieved, go down and make arrangements."

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he looked sideways at the jade seal hanging behind him, and recently the DPRK and China were always discussing, saying whether this thing was real or fake.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't care.

I want this jade seal to be real, and Da Ming needs this jade seal to be real, then it has to be real!

As for the last time Wei Zhongxian mentioned the vision of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, Zhu Youxiao was also interested, if this thing was really a son of the plane like Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, at this point in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he would have to get rid of him.

Wang Mang is looking for Liu Xiu in Liu Xiu's pile, if he kills the wrong person, I am different, the Ming Dynasty slaughtered him with this one Zhu Youzhen, is it possible that there will be another Zhu Youzhen?

So don't worry about it now, keep looking, if this kid is really ambitious, it's not too late to get rid of him.
