Chapter 469: Mourning the Hardships of the People's Livelihood (Third Update!) Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)

Zhang Huangyan was not a hard-hearted person, and he was shocked when he saw this situation.

"How can this be true, how can it be true!"

Zhang Huangyan said indignantly: "If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you wouldn't have believed that there would be such a scene outside Nanjing!"

"Commander Wang asked you to tell me what to do!"

Zhang Huangyan was very indignant.

In his opinion, the people under the Ming Dynasty should not be like this.

Today, when the people are benevolent and love the people, the people should live and work in peace and contentment.

"This..."

Wang Henian looked a little embarrassed, if he admitted this, wouldn't it be a smear on His Majesty's face.

But if you don't admit it, this is another thing that is on the surface, isn't it blind?

"In response to Zhang Benbing's words, we should have divided the city outside the city earlier and sent more people to inspect it."

Wang Henian can only point to the end, and it is not appropriate to go any deeper.

Zhang Huangyan nodded, he seemed to realize what Wang Henian was worried about.

"Don't worry, with this official, not a single citizen will starve to death."

Zhang Huangyan swore and promised: "Come on, add more porridge and porridge, and we must ensure that every disaster victim has something to eat." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Adults are really the great masters of the blue sky! ”

The woman was moved to tears, and kowtowed to Zhang Huangyan again and again to thank her.

"Hurry up, these are the things that this official should do."

Zhang Huangyan helped the woman up, and then said to Wang Henian on the side: "Command Wang let us start." ”

...

...

Dividing the area is a technical and manual work.

Especially when the gathering of disaster victims is so dense.

The victims were gathered together, and it was difficult to separate their living areas.

However, this must be done, even if it consumes more manpower and material resources.

It may be painful at first, but once you get used to it, you can benefit a lot.

Zhang Huangyan followed Wang Henian through the shantytown, and was deeply touched.

He found that he had experienced less suffering than the people.

The most pitiful people in the Ming Dynasty are probably these people.

As long as there is a disaster year, the collapse of yeoman farmers may occur, so the role of the imperial court is reflected.

If we can't provide disaster relief and save the people from fire and water in time, what is the meaning of the existence of the imperial court?

In addition, Zhang Huangyan has a new understanding of what benevolent government is.

It does not mean that taxes have been exempted for a few years, and opening a warehouse for relief is a benevolent government.

That's just the basics.

To let the people really live a good life and feel happy, this is the benevolent government.

Of course, Zhang Huangyan admitted that His Majesty the Emperor had done a good job.

The Son of Heaven has all the opportunities and can only pay attention to the big picture.

As for the details, his subordinates need to share his worries.

If the Son of Heaven has to worry about everything himself, the Son of Heaven must not be tired to death?

Zhang Huangyan felt the pressure on his shoulders increase sharply, and it was a great merit to be able to keep the people alive in troubled times.

It is still necessary to restore the world in the Central Plains of Beiding as soon as possible.

Without war and strife, the people can live a good life.

And there's still a long way to go.

I only hope that Your Majesty will take Nanzhili as soon as possible and give the army and people a rest and recuperation, so that they can prepare for the Northern Expedition in the future.

...

...

Zheng Chenggong, who was in Hangzhou, received a holy decree and ordered him to march on all sides to attack Susong.

Zheng Chenggong is very happy.

Your Majesty still has him in his heart.

This has just taken Zhejiang, and His Majesty ordered him to attack Susong non-stop.

Originally, Zheng Chenggong was worried that he would be thrown off by Li Laiheng and Li Dingguo, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

Not only was he not thrown away, but he was even faintly half a position ahead.

If he can win Su Song, his credit will definitely be stronger than Er Li's head.

Zhongxing Daming is important, but Li Dingguo can't help but think about the future of himself and his family.

In the future, the world will be determined, Your Majesty will reward meritorious deeds, and Zheng Chenggong hopes that he can be ranked first.

The success of the attack on Zhejiang gave Zheng Chenggong a lot of confidence.

He called his son Zheng Jing to discuss the matter of sending troops to Su Song.

"Father, son thinks that the armies of Huzhou, Jiaxing and Zhenjiang can be the main force. As for the sailors of Chongming Island, they can be used as an assistant to seal the retreat of the Tartars. ”

Zheng Jing is eager to try, this battle of the Zheng family must fight beautifully, and show his face in front of His Majesty.

"I think it's right for me to lead the troops."

"Father can lead the army all the way and attack from Jiaxing, Huzhou."

Zheng Jing paused and said, "My son will return to Zhenjiang and attack from Zhenjiang. ”

"As for Chongming Island, it is naturally the most suitable for General Gan Huigan to lead."

Zheng Chenggong generally agreed with Zheng Jing's analysis, and he nodded and said, "But, my son will hurry back to Zhenjiang to order troops." Su Song is very important, don't take it lightly. After taking Su Song, we can rest for a while. ”

"Father, rest assured, my son will not let you down."

After this period of experience, Zheng Jing has grown a lot. Although he can't be on the battlefield like Zheng Chenggong, there is still no problem in fighting.

"That's good."

Zheng Chenggong nodded with satisfaction.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, it's not good!"

Zhang Huangyan hurried to the palace, and immediately said excitedly when he saw Zhu Cixuan: "The square area where the victims of the disaster gathered outside the city has just caught fire!"

"What!"

Zhu Cixuan was startled, and his body subconsciously retreated backwards.

After all, he is still a child, although he pretends to be very mature in front of people, but he is actually very fragile inside.

"How could there be a sudden fire?"

Zhu Cixuan was very panicked, this kind of thing can easily cause public resentment.

"It cannot be ruled out that someone deliberately set the fire."

Zhang Huangyan said with a frown.

He also found the timing of the fire to be very strange.

In the past, they just divided the square area and then caught fire, which is too outrageous, right?

"Can the fire be controlled?"

Zhu Cixuan was anxious and hurriedly asked.

"The fire has been extinguished, but there are some casualties."

"How many people were burned?"

"Thousands of people were burned to death, and thousands of people were burned."

Zhang Huangyan said very sadly.

"Shhh

Zhu Cixuan gasped when he heard this.

"So much?"

"The fire broke out suddenly during the night. Many people are still asleep, and as a result..."

Zhang Huangyan was a little choked up for a while, and he couldn't go on.

"Check, check carefully. If someone deliberately set it on fire, he will definitely have his head cut off!"

Zhu Cixuan said angrily.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the top priority at the moment is to pacify the victims as soon as possible."

Zhang Huangyan saw that Zhu Cixuan couldn't figure out the priorities, so he hurriedly reminded.

Zhu Cixuan patted his head and said, "Mr. Zhang almost forgot if he didn't say it." It is time to appease the people first. ”
