The storm lasted for a whole day and a night, and it was not until the next morning that it completely subsided, and the door of the attic was opened so that a glimmer of golden sunlight shone on his face. Squinting his eyes and looking out at the light, the blue sky and white clouds are like a sunny and good weather.

"Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, the rainstorm outside has subsided." Under the huge surprise, he hurriedly ran back to wake Mao Wenlong from his sleep.

Mao Wenlong opened his confused eyes and looked at the vast one blankly: "Why are you yelling, and you don't let people sleep." ”

It wasn't until the early hours of the morning last night that Mao Wenlong learned that the rainstorm had subsided, and he was relieved to lie down on his chair to rest. Only then did he feel that it didn't take long to close his eyes, but he was woken up by the vast number of students, so naturally he didn't have a good face for him.

Haoda completely ignored Mao Wenlong's grievances, he still exclaimed in surprise: "Chief soldier, the storm outside has really subsided, Kaifeng City has not been washed away by the flood, and Kaifeng City has been saved." ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came over, looked up behind the vast expanse, and just saw the ray of sunlight shining in. He was overjoyed and rushed out the door to look around.

As he said, the storm that had been going on yesterday had completely disappeared, replaced by bright sunshine and a bright rainbow bridge in mid-air.

Bursts of cheers suddenly erupted in the city, and both the people and the officers and soldiers cheered for their salvation.

Zhuang Yexiang didn't know when she appeared behind Mao Wenlong, and she said softly: "General soldier, the flood outside has begun to recede, and there is no danger in Kaifeng City at present. ”

Zhuang Yexiang's eyes were red at the moment, obviously she hadn't been able to rest well this day and night, her expression would be astringent, and she would be even weaker when she spoke.

Mao Wenlong was overjoyed, he turned around and said to Zhuang Yexiang: "Okay, okay, immediately go and order someone to start cooking, so that everyone who has been fighting for a day and a night can have a good meal and sleep peacefully." ”

Zhuang Yexiang nodded, and after agreeing, she resigned.

Hong Chengchou only washed up at this time, walked out of the attic, and saw the sunny weather outside, the old guy chuckled: "It seems that this natural disaster has passed." ”

Mao Wenlong didn't look back at Hong Chengchou, he was staring at the flood under the city tower at the moment as it was rapidly receding, but the smile on his face disappeared: "I don't know how many deaths and injuries this natural disaster will cause?" ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, also put away the smile on his face, and said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, now we should immediately send soldiers and horses to look for people who may survive." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded heavily: "Yes, it's important to save people." ”

Before the flood waters had completely receded, by noon Mao Wenlong had gathered 3,000 officers and ordered them to go out of the city to find any surviving civilians. Temporary relief points have also begun to be set up in the city to ensure that the rescued people have a place to stay.

Haoda came in a hot air balloon yesterday, and he was supposed to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to rush to help, but because of the heavy water, he was blocked on the high ground outside the city. Now that the waters have begun to recede, the 30,000 troops that arrived are just in handy.

After asking Mao Wenlong for instructions, Hao Da immediately left the city and went to arrange 30,000 soldiers and horses to rescue the people who might survive.

After the flood, Kaifeng City has completely changed, full of garbage and yellow mud. The carcasses of some birds and domestic animals were everywhere, and what was even more frightening was that many rats in the wild fled into the city in large groups because of the flooding.

Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou walked on the main street in the city, and rats could be seen everywhere. The carcasses of drowned livestock and birds became the best food for mice.

Mao Wenlong frowned, and said in a deep voice to Hong Chengchou beside him: "The sanitation in the city is too poor, coupled with the rampant nature of these rats, there is a possibility of a plague outbreak at any time. We must now mobilize the whole city and clean it up at once. ”

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said with a wry smile: "It is not difficult to clean the city, the difficult thing is how to clean up the rat infestation in the city." If these rats are not eliminated as soon as possible, an outbreak of plague could occur at any time. ”

Speaking of the plague, Mao Wenlong still clearly remembers how the two thousand Dongjiang soldiers of Tashanwei died. That kind of situation is absolutely not allowed to happen in Kaifeng City, you know, there are 100,000 people in the city, if the plague breaks out, it is definitely more terrifying than a great flood.

Mao Wenlong Yin said: "Any way is fine, there are now 100,000 people in the city, and I believe that the number of rats has not yet reached this number." Just catch one mouse per person, and the rodent infestation problem should not be difficult to solve. ”

Hong Chengchou suddenly came over and said with a smile: "What is the chief soldier going to come up with to reward the person who catches the mouse?" ”

From Mao Wenlong's tone, Hong Chengchou already understood what means Mao Wenlong was going to use. In fact, it is very simple, as long as Mao Wenlong rewards it again, to those who catch mice, I believe that the people and officers and soldiers in the city are willing to give up everything to catch mice.

Sure enough, Mao Wenlong laughed and said: "Money is all external things, how much should be given or how much must be given to be able to impress people's hearts, I believe that these military advisors should be clearer than me." Therefore, this matter has been solved by the military division and the problem of rat infestation. ”

Hong Chengchou rolled his eyes, obviously not expecting Mao Wenlong to be the shopkeeper again. However, the problem of rodent infestation should not be underestimated, and if one is not good, it may endanger the lives of 100,000 people in the city at any time.

After pondering for a while, Hong Chengchou reluctantly agreed, and then said goodbye to Mao Wenlong, and went to Zhuang Yexiang, the city lord, to discuss how to exterminate the rat infestation in the city.

Mao Wenlong continued to walk around the city, followed by Hao Da and a dozen or so guards.

Although Kaifeng City was not washed away by the flood, waterlogging was also formed in the city, because the water outside could not enter, and the water in the city naturally could not flow out. The violent storm of one day and one night directly caused the water to accumulate more than one meter high in Kaifeng City.

Some of the older houses along the street have seriously collapsed, and some officers and soldiers and civilians are moving away from the collapsed houses, looking for people who may be crushed underneath. Everything in front of him was much more embarrassing than the situation on the battlefield, Mao Wenlong couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and ordered Haoda to walk in the direction of the mansion.

As soon as Mao Wenlong arrived outside the gate of the mansion, he heard a wailing sound from inside, and the guards outside the mansion were also lonely, obviously something bad should have happened inside the mansion?

Haoda didn't need Mao Wenlong to say hello, he rushed into the yamen quickly, and saw Zhuang Yexiang kneeling on the ground, sobbing non-stop, and the wails came from her. And beside her, Hong Chengchou, who had just said goodbye to Mao Wenlong, was watching there, with a sad look on his face.
