Chapter 86
Listening to such indifferent words and looking at such indifferent eyes, Zhu Yidao's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, pulling out the cold. The living can't take care of it, and the dead don't want to take care of it, so what else can be done? But can't you just watch these people starve and freeze to death in front of you? Although the temperature is relatively low, once the weather warms up, the plague is likely to break out on a large scale immediately, and I am afraid that more people will die by then.
Nobody cares, okay, I'll care!
He gathered the following flags together and ordered them to tell the sergeants to keep only one meal of their rations, and all the rest for the victims! It is necessary to ensure the living problems of the people in this area, and at the same time quickly set up marching tents, otherwise the weather will drop to a lower level by late, and I am afraid that these people will die tomorrow morning! Also, set up a big tent and boil more rice porridge to ward off the cold. Leave another battalion of sergeants to dig under the ruins of those big families and find a way to get some gold and silver, maybe you can reduce your losses a little, and at the same time replenish your own military expenses.
He sent another small flag and asked him to hurry to the right station, telling Jiang Fei that he must replenish another batch of grain and grass to the Beijing division tomorrow! Otherwise, they would not be able to feed so many people with their rations alone! These rations can only be used for emergencies!
The soldiers gradually began to distribute the food they brought, focusing on the wounded, women, children, old and young, and the young and middle-aged people could still hold on, and these people would definitely not survive tonight if they did not eat! At the beginning, the victims were extremely frightened, they had nothing left, did these military masters still come to rob? Unexpectedly, however, they gave their rations to the women and children.
Not only that, but when they saw some of the victims still screaming hoarsely at the ruins, and there might be relatives below who were not dead, these sergeants could no longer hold back their tears. What a tragic word! So they volunteered to help the victims dig up their loved ones from the rubble. There are a lot of wounded people, and they can't do it just after digging it out. There is no way, two whole days have passed, and the weather is so cold, there are very few people who can hold on. However, the victims did not give up even the slightest hope, and they would rather see their loved ones die than be buried alive under the rubble forever.
The marching tent was quickly erected, borrowed from the Five Cities Terracotta Division. In fact, they have already received an order for combat readiness, and no one is allowed to go out of the garrison without clear instructions from the ranks! Violators will be killed! Yesterday I was beheaded because some people couldn't stand the longing for their families. Zhu Yidao passed through the gate of the Yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and saw the sergeants sitting or standing inside, their eyes were blood-red, and their faces all showed sad and angry but helpless expressions.
They can only watch their loved ones die, but they can do nothing.
When the sergeant from the right station of the Beijing division came to borrow the marching tent, the leader of the team took a deep look at the sergeant of the right station, sighed, turned around and entered the back room. The sergeants on the right were a little stunned, what does this mean? Whether you borrow or not, you have to give an attitude? But soon they saw that the sergeants of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division threw the marching tent out of the yamen through the wall with all hands and feet, and they realized that the commander in charge of logistics and grain and grass obviously didn't see it: the order was not allowed to leave the station, but it didn't say that the support army would not be allowed to rescue the disaster?!
With the help of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, thousands of marching tents were erected, and some women, children, and children were given priority to move in, but it was really a drop in the bucket. There are so many people in the disaster that there are not enough tents for them to live in. But how much can be saved, how much! When the sergeants of the right place even gave them the last food and grass, but they themselves were hungry and struggling, the simple and honest victims knelt down in front of them, and they really didn't know how to thank these sergeants who saved their lives.
Due to the hurry of coming, the right office of the Beijing division did not bring enough shovels and other tools, and the consumption of work, the excavation and rescue work was carried out more and more slowly. Zhu Yidao jumped straight to his feet in a hurry, but there was no way. It's starting to get dark, and the temperature is getting colder.
In desperation, Lao Zhu led a team straight to the Jinwu Guard, and it and the Jinwu Guard, Yulin Left Guard, and Yulin Right Guard were the guards who were authorized to be stationed in the Jingshi City, and they were the closest to the disaster area, although they also suffered a lot of losses to a greater or lesser extent. When he heard about Lao Zhu's intention, the Qianhu of Jinwu's avant-garde was obviously red-eyed, his hometown was from Jingshi, but he couldn't get out of the barracks at all from the earthquake to now, so he didn't know what happened to his family at all. After ordering his subordinates to support Zhu Yidao unconditionally, he fell to the ground and asked Lao Zhu to help find his family no matter what.
In this way, Lao Zhu ran for a whole day, and those guards also ran over one by one, without exception, they were supported by a large amount of grain, grass, tools and equipment. Everyone is the emperor's pro-army, but in this kind of situation where the emperor only allows Zhu Yidao to lead troops to maintain the order of the Beijing Division, he is really powerless, and he can only do his best to assist him in logistics.
By the time he returned to the scene with a large amount of logistical supplies, three thousand tents and more than a dozen large open tops had been prepared. After a hard day's work, the soldiers were exhausted, but they didn't even have a place to rest. Seeing this, Zhu Yidao hurriedly ordered them to wake them up and joke, sleeping directly on the earth on such a cold day, and whether they wanted to live anymore, and then organized everyone to drink some hot water to drive away the cold, and asked a few general banners to find a way to get some horses, cattle and sheep that died in the earthquake, and slaughtered them for everyone to eat.
There is a huge Beijing division, and there is only Zhu Yidao's Beijing Division Right Office who is busy with disaster relief. Without any supplies or support, they tried to find a way to borrow money from other places, and finally stabilized the hearts of the victims temporarily. It all fell into Shen Shixing's eyes. While being moved, he was also a little puzzled, what kind of person is this Zhu Yidao? These measures will definitely not be what a courtier or a traitor can do.
These things also fell into the eyes of many officials, officers. No matter what the purpose is, everyone really admires Zhu Yidao, and if you can think so thoughtfully and arrange it so thoroughly, I'm afraid it's hard to say. In any case, except for a small number of women, children, and children who were arranged for military tents, the hearts of most of the victims were still settled. It turned out that the Ming Dynasty did not abandon us, the emperor still thought about us, and what he didn't expect was to save himself, and it would be the infamous Jinyiwei.
Zhu Yidao himself was tired to death. This day was so busy that he didn't even have time to sit in the meeting. Finding a random place to lean there, and with a padded jacket under him, he sat down heavily, snatched the wine from the hand of a general flag next to him, raised his neck and took a big sip, and the smell made him cry.
"What kind of wine is this?" He said with difficulty as he coughed. The general flag laughed: "Lord Qianhu! This is a good wine from a big family's house! We didn't want to drink it! You can save some and save some for us! ”
Lao Zhu smiled awkwardly, looked at the victims who had settled down, and said to himself: "When is this kind of day...... the end?"
Shen Hui is no longer there. Zhu Yidao didn't expect that the two of them would say goodbye in such a form, could it be that he really committed a lonely star, died without a companion, and was lonely all his life? Did she make herself face all this like a man in her dreams just to make herself suffer so much? Think about myself in the past year, I have been busy, but I have never had much time to spend with her. Why are you so stupid, why are you so ruthless?
Thinking of these things, with endless chagrin and remorse, Zhu Yidao gradually fell asleep, in that wonderful dream, there were him and Shen Hui, the two of them lived happily in a fairyland-like place, living plainly and happily......
Early in the morning, he was awakened by the sound of a loud noise. I struggled to open my eyelids, but I saw several eunuchs shouting and cursing around the general flag beside him last night. The general flag had a red face and neck, and was trying to argue about something. Lao Zhu was a little puzzled, staggered to his feet, stretched comfortably, and walked over slowly: "What are you doing?" What's the noise? Tell me something! What's the use of arguing with my men? ”
When a leading eunuch saw him, he shouted happily: "Zhu Qianhu, our family has found you!" You have to call the shots for our family! ”
Zhu Yidao couldn't help frowning. Who are you? Why are you so enthusiastic about it? It's like Lao Tzu is also your eunuch party. It turned out that these eunuchs belonged to the Inner Court Shangyi Supervisor, who had a shop here, but it collapsed in the earthquake. They came because there were still a lot of high-end fabrics and clothes in the warehouse, but when they came, they saw that those high-end fabrics and clothes were actually draped by some of the victims! Now he was unwilling, and resolutely let these untouchables rip off the cloth and clothes they were wrapping in. The general flag did not allow them to do this, so several people scolded him. But no matter how he scolded, the general flag would not give an inch, and at this time, Lao Zhu appeared.
As soon as he heard that this was the case, early in the morning, Zhu Yidao's anger rushed straight up. Everyone is broken, cold and hungry, hungry and cold, what's wrong with picking out a few rags and wrapping them around to keep out the cold? They're pariahs, what are you eunuchs?!
