Chapter 81

On the twenty-third day of the sixteenth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Jingshi. It is a day to remember forever.

Early in the morning, people wrap up their clothes tightly and start a busy day. On the street in front of the noon gate, the vendors came to the market early and shouted loudly for their goods; Xiao Er of the restaurant yawned and pushed open the door, moved the tables and chairs out of the store and opened the morning market; The women crossed their hands and waists, pointed at their men and cursed, and if they didn't get up quickly, the sun was drying their butts!

Everything is so peaceful and peaceful, today repeats yesterday's life.

Gradually, the sun dimmed, and the bright sky in the early morning suddenly seemed to enter the night, and people looked left and right in the streets. What's going on?

Suddenly, the horses of the horse market collectively launched a wild roar, and the birds in the woods seemed to have encountered a demon, and they rose to the sky one after another, and flew high in panic; The toads on the side of the road rushed out of the city in groups, and people looked at these inexplicable animals, and their hearts tightened for no reason!

Then the earth shook violently, and the houses on the side of the road collapsed violently, completely ignoring the people who were already stunned in the street. The tall wall of the noon gate was torn apart in an instant, and the city guards stationed under the city wall watched blankly as the boulders smashed down on them.

"Earthquake, run for your life!"

This heart-rending shout woke up the people who were still standing dumbly, and for a while, everyone rushed to their homes with wild shouts, hoping to save their families and property as soon as possible.

But it happened too fast, too fast. God does not give people the slightest time to flee for their lives, I don't know when it began, the pouring rain fell from the sky, the sound of rain, the sound of collapse, the terrible cries of people, and together. For a time, there was mourning all over the wilderness, and dead bodies were everywhere!

At the moment when the disaster struck, it was as if the heavens and the earth had collapsed, as if the world had come to an end. At the Great Xiangguo Temple on the outskirts of Kyoto, the abbot stared blankly at the sky and muttered prayers. It's a pity that this time, God didn't bless his piety, and the huge roof of Daxiangguo Temple smashed at him like a cannonball. A little monk saw this shocking scene, and he was speechless.

In just a few minutes and so on, Kyoshi has gone from heaven to hell. Everywhere there were collapsed and dilapidated houses, there were dead bodies everywhere, and people were crying out to find their loved ones. A prince's mansion, except for the people who went out to buy vegetables in the morning, the whole family was buried under the rubble, and the people ran back with the basket of vegetables, looking at the mansion that had completely turned into a pile of ruins, and the basket of vegetables in his hand fell weakly to the ground.

Wanli was woken up by the eunuchs. He looked angrily at the frightened little eunuch, threw his hand and threw the quilt aside, the little eunuch cried and knelt on the ground, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty! Go Your Majesty! The Kyoshi has been ...... It's over! ”

What's wrong? What's going on? Wanli hadn't fully woken up yet, he propped up his much fatter body, got up weakly, and suddenly got up to make him dizzy.

The little eunuch kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty! Beijing Normal University mobile phone watch access XOM earthquake! It's bigger than in previous years, and the noon gate is ...... There are several other doors at noon, all of which are destroyed......"

What the?!

Wanli sat up suddenly. A bigger earthquake than ever? No wonder I dreamed that the boat kept rocking! How's that going? He stood up abruptly and shouted at the little eunuch: "Ma summons the cabinet meeting, quick!" ”

“…… It's too late...... It's too late, Your Majesty! The ministers' houses are basically collapsed, and they are salvaging their property...... Go Your Majesty! Jingshi can't live anymore! The little eunuch's head was bleeding profusely, but he still kowtowed to it.

Walk? Where to go? Do you want to go to Nanjing? Now that Jingshi has become like this, do you want to leave now? Somehow, Wanli suddenly remembered Zhu Yidao's words: Absolute power means absolute responsibility. No way! I want to stay in Jingshi, and I have to find a way to restore the normal order of Jingshi! Only in this way can the people of the Ming Dynasty know that only he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! Only he can lead those officials and ordinary people in disaster relief!

Pushing open the door of the dormitory, the floor of the main hall was kneeling neatly with wolves, their eyes more determined than ever. Looking at these people, Wanli's heart suddenly swelled with infinite ambition! I am a wolf's head, and I must not be looked down upon by my loyal subordinates! I'm also an emperor, but I can only secretly train wolves in the harem? Absolutely not! I want to practice the blade of the country in my hands openly in the land of the Ming Dynasty!

"You! Immediately rush to the right place of the capital division for 800 miles! Let Zhu Yidao immediately enter Beijing with 5,000 soldiers and horses! Earthquake Relief! Tell him! He must stabilize the order of the Jingshi within a week, or I will take his head! Wanli made such a decision, the second decision that shocked the world after his decision not to go to court.

Shen Shixing already felt that his head was running out, the losses in all parts of the capital were constantly being reported, the casualties of the people were increasing dramatically, and the homeless people had reached hundreds of thousands! If we can't quickly solve the problem of food and shelter for these people, I am afraid that it will immediately provoke a popular uprising! Also, the residence of the officials must be finally settled! There must be no fluctuation in the mood of the people. Now that the earthquake has just passed, the people's hearts are like water, and they will change when they say they will change! I also have to send out all the spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei! If the White Lotus Sect is allowed to seize this opportunity, I'm afraid it will be too late to make amends!

The six ministries and the cabinet are actually empty. In this earthquake, the biggest loss is these officials who have high-rise mansions! Liu Chang, the superintendent of the country, and his entire family were buried under the rubble, and the city guards in charge of cleaning up said that many of the bodies could not be dug up at all. At such a time, who still has the heart to go to the imperial court class?

The chamberlain has already told Wanli that everyone is busy saving their families today, and no one has come to the court at all. In fact, he still hasn't said a word, Your Majesty, you haven't been in court for more than a year, and everyone has forgotten about it. Wanli still understands these people, the whole family is dead, and it's too late to grieve, how can he have the time and energy to think about what dynasty? He sent a pack of wolves again and sent an order to the right office of the capital division to immediately rush to the capital to relieve the disaster.

The right institute of the Beijing division also suffered a large loss, but it was mainly the house, as for the personnel, because they were all training in the playground at the time, there was no loss, but I am afraid that everyone will have to be covered by the sky tonight, and the ground will be used as a bed. The little kid was frightened, there have been many earthquakes in Beijing over the years, but none of them have been so shaken like this time today!

Lao Zhu had never experienced an earthquake, and when the earthquake struck, he only felt that he was unsteady on his feet, and thought that he was dizzy and dizzy because of what happened to him today. It wasn't until I saw the military camp where I usually live collapse with a bang that I knew that I had encountered a once-in-a-century earthquake.

There is nothing to say, immediately count the number of people, and then enter a state of combat readiness, waiting for the holy decree of the Jingshi at any time. No matter what the emperor's attitude is, Zhu Yidao is still clear to Shen Shixing, he is the kind of official who can give everything for the common people in the world.

When the spies of the wolves quickly felt the right and conveyed the will to go to the capital to relieve the disaster quickly, Lao Zhu couldn't hide his surprise no matter what. Is this still the Wanli you imagined? This is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty! It was possible to make such a decision! It seems that after the earthquake relief, the officials will not let themselves go. However, we will talk about this later, and the top priority now is to restore the normal order of the Beijing Division as soon as possible!

So everyone reorganized the soldiers and horses, Lao Zhu asked everyone to give up all the equipment, each person only brought shovels, backpacks and a day's food, and told Jiang Fei to do a good job in the logistics of the whole army of 5,000 people, and the place where the grain and grass were stored was a reinforced warehouse, and there was no loss in the earthquake, just the roof tiles fell down.

Jiang Fei vigorously opposed Zhu Yidao's approach, saying that after the disaster, it was the time when the people were in turmoil, so let the brothers enter Beijing without weapons, in case of a civil uprising, how to deal with it? Lao Zhu refuted his statement, and blushed and roared thickly: Who would think about the people's rebellion at such a time? At most, it is a robbery of the grain depot, enough to live for a while! Even the White Lotus Sect knows that this kind of time is definitely not a chance for itself to get into trouble!

Jiang Fei was also angry, he insisted that those Diao people were not as kind as Zhu Yidao said! Lao Zhu had no choice but to allow everyone to bring a waist knife for self-defense, and as for the rest of the equipment, they were all placed in the warehouse. During this time, without Jiang Fei and his permission, no one was allowed to approach the armory!

Everyone acted quickly and followed the wolf scouts all the way to the capital division. There are no more city guards at the gates. It's a time of confusion, and everyone doesn't seem to know what to do. The officers did not perform their duties, the sergeants did not stand guard, and everyone was in a mess.
