Chapter 82
On the way to Beijing, Zhu Yidao was very incomprehensible to the holy decree of Wanli's transfer of troops. There are so many troops in this Beijing division, why do you want to transfer troops from the right side of the Beijing division? Jiang Fei told him that the reason was very simple: the emperor did not trust. I'm afraid that this transfer order will cause more rebellions than disaster relief. And the most important thing is that the armies everywhere must be ready for war in case of the White Lotus Sect! If they take advantage of this natural disaster, the consequences will be very unpredictable. Especially now that the emperor obviously only trusts the wolves and the right place of the Jingshi.
Lao Zhu looked helplessly at the little kid behind him. When the earthquake came, the little guy was frightened and shivered by his side. Zhu Yidao actually understands very well, after all, a child who is less than ten years old and has never left the palace compound, and his relatives are not around when this happens, he must be at a loss. I just don't know if Concubine Zheng will be in a hurry: her child is gone! However, Zhu Changxun is indeed not ordinary, he actually knows that forcibly stabilizing his emotions will not bring greater psychological pressure to others: as long as he hears the crying of children in the team, Lao Zhu is sure that the army's heart will be immediately chaotic, and the people's hearts will be confused, and the team will not only be difficult to lead.
Touching the little child's head, Lao Zhu looked at the Jingshi in the distance, and pondered mentally, if any family recognized him, he would run around with the three princes, but he was afraid that he would be immediately arrested by the fans of Dongchang.
He put on the flying fish suit worn by the sergeants, then put a copycat helmet on his head, and grabbed the dirt and wiped it on his face, and that's it! Lao Zhu looked at his work with satisfaction, completely ignoring the complaining eyes of the little child.
Closer and closer to the Beijing Division, there are more and more people fleeing on the side of the road, everyone supports each other, due to the hurry of fleeing, many people don't bring anything, how to live in the future? Not only is there mourning all over the field, many people are crying, and more people are numb and expressionless. The earthquake in Beijing has been surprisingly many over the years, and there are several earthquakes every year, but they are all small earthquakes, and everyone is accustomed to it, according to the officials, this is the emperor who has no virtue, so it has caused the wrath of the heavens, as long as the emperor has issued an edict to pray, and the province will be fine. But what does this have to do with the people? When natural disasters come, it is the people who are most hurt!
Zhu Yidao was very sad. This is only the beginning, and the reconstruction after the disaster, the pacification of the people, the stability of the people's minds, and the restoration of social order all require sufficient time and energy. What is needed most is a large sum of silver. Relying on a little money is not enough at all. The household department has always liked to cry poor, and there are places to rebel and cry poor; The emperor wants to build a palace and cry poverty; Natural disasters have occurred among the people, continue to cry poverty, and let all localities find their own ways to solve them, and it is very difficult for the imperial court now, and many officials can't get their money...... But correspondingly, it was those second ancestors who unceremoniously squandered it, which made people wonder: This is the official who can't send down the land?
It is imperative that the damage be minimized, and that many of those buried under the rubble should be saved; In the basement of those shops or trading houses, there are also a large number of private belongings buried; I don't know if there is anything going on in the treasury of the household department, and I have to send troops to guard it...... As soon as he thought of this, Lao Zhu couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air: This is a test for the Ming Dynasty, a test for Wanli, and a test for the people! Once it is not handled well, the Ming Dynasty will completely lose the cornerstone on which it depends for its survival - the people's heart.
I don't know what Wanli thinks now?
When he arrived at the gate of the capital division, looking at the tattered city wall, the ragged people under the city wall, and the sergeants who were busy sweating profusely to maintain order, Zhu Yidao burst into tears.
Miserable, really miserable! It's hell on earth!
The shops in the West Market have basically collapsed. Countless lives and property were destroyed in one fell swoop, but fortunately there was a heavy rain, otherwise once the fire broke out, the loss would have been even greater. The high-rise mansions in the East City, except for a very few, are still intact, and those all-wooden buildings have completely collapsed, and no one can say how many people have been crushed underneath.
Looking at the devastated Jingshi and the corpses that were dug up in a mess on the street, Zhu Yidao realized that there was an extremely serious problem that must be solved immediately, otherwise Daming would be in danger!
Plague, terrible plague!
He suddenly remembered something again: Shen Hui! Where is Shen Hui now? What the hell happened to her?!
Zhu Yidao's scalp shrank suddenly! He grabbed the collar of the wolf pack flag: "Say! What happened to Shen Hui at that time?! ”
The general flag was a little uneasy: "I don't know either!" As soon as something happened at that time, the emperor immediately asked me to go to the right office to pass on the decree to you, what happened to Jingshi, and where was my sister-in-law arranged, I really don't know! ”
Lao Zhu's eyes immediately turned red! If something happened to Shen Hui, he would never do anything for Wanli and Daming again! In his mind, there is no wonderful red face that can be compared to Shen Hui! In a trance, he remembered the bits and pieces he had with Xiao Nan, and remembered Xiao Nan's nervous and worried eyes when he first came to this world......
Shen Hui must be found first! Go to his uncle's common people, go to his uncle's Wanli! Lao Tzu only cares about Shen Hui!
Zhu Yidao yelled at the army: "The whole army will go to Xishi immediately!" Save! ”
The sergeants were a little embarrassed, but when they heard that Lao Zhu was looking for his wife who had not yet passed the door, many people showed surprised eyes: Before they passed the door, they had such a big child?!
But everyone still understands it better - what could be more important than your wife and children? If it weren't for the fact that most of these sergeants were not natives of Jingshi, I'm afraid they would also be red-eyed by now.
Zhu Yidao tried hard to recall Shen Hui's residence - he didn't go there once, and after he went, he only cared about lingering and forgot to see how to go. Especially now that all the coordinates have collapsed in the earthquake, and there are people everywhere crying loudly in the rubble and trying to save their loved ones, it is really difficult to find shelter in a mess.
At this moment, the wolf spies sent by Wanli found him again and strictly ordered him to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall first and wait for Wanli's next instructions. But Zhu Yidao didn't care at all: "Get out!" Let's wait until Lao Tzu finds his wife! ”
The spy was a little stunned, and even resisted the three holy decrees, did this Zhu Yidao think that he was Grandpa Yue Fei? But before he could catch his breath, the fourth spy arrived quickly, and he still sent a decree asking Zhu Yidao to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to report immediately!
Zhu Yidao didn't care about it, jumped off the horse alone, stood on a high ruin, and looked into the distance, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be two locust trees in the yard, which grew together, and it was easy to recognize. I looked out to the northeast hard and saw it! Behind a pile of ruins, two locust trees grow together entangledly!
He spread his son and ran wildly through the ruins, some sharp rubble pierced the soles of his shoes, and he didn't look at it, but ran towards the position of the two locust trees, followed by the wolves who were chasing wildly, shouting and shouting that Zhu Yidao had received the holy decree first. The little Zhu Changxun looked at Lao Zhu's eyes that were about to eat people, and he was stunned for a while, and he also chased after him. But this will make Lao Zhu can't take care of him anymore.
When Zhu staggered to the two locust trees, he looked at the devastated mansion stupidly, and suddenly let out a heart-rending cry, and rushed towards the ruins frantically, ignoring the wear and tear of his two hands. Shen Hui! You can't get an accident! In this world, if there is no you, what is the meaning of Lao Tzu's life?!
Xiao Zhu Changxun also stood beside him stupidly, just now he heard the sergeants say that Qianhu's wife was likely to be buried underneath, he was surprised, and a heartbroken feeling followed. Why would you feel so sad about a sister you haven't met? He didn't know, he only knew that when he looked at Zhu Yidao, who was usually happy and easy-going, and cried like a child at this time, Xiao Zhu Changxun could no longer suppress his feelings, just like a loved one who had lost his dearest, and cried with Zhu Yidao.
The sergeants looked at the grief-stricken Zhu Yidao and the crying Xiao Zhu Changxun, and unconsciously left tears. The most painful thing in this world is to watch your loved ones die and do nothing. A wife who hasn't passed the door just left, leaving only a half-old child for Lao Zhu, who can stand this?
