After listening to Ling Xia's words, the generals in the council hall fell into silence, the eldest family sat on the chair with a short sigh and sighed, no one refused to speak, and after a moment of silence, a gentlemanly man stood up.

This is the general commander of Dingwu Province, Yue Yunfeng, he was born in the early years of Wu Zhuangyuan, and later went to participate in the literary examination under a pseudonym, and he took the third place in the exam, and he was once a Confucian general.

It's just that since he was transferred to this Ziyanjiang as the chief soldier, he has been suppressed and unwilling, seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yue Yunding had to stand up: "Don't hide it, none of us have the face to report this matter, because ----- is really embarrassing."

Under the command of our people, Dingshu Province has the largest number of battle guards, about 107,000 people, while Dingshi Province has the smallest number of battle guards, only about 9,000 people are left, and they can't even make up the establishment of 10,000 people.

My province belongs to the middle reach, barely maintaining the establishment of a division, with more than 30,000 people, and the remaining provinces are forced by military salaries and materials, and the number of battle guards is almost kept between 20,000. ”

"Yueyunding, how did you find out the bottom of our people so clearly? Honestly, did you do it? After listening to Yueyun's words, the rest of the military commanders asked in surprise.

Hearing this, Yue Yunding explained with a depressed face: "Brothers, as far as your camps, I still need to send details to investigate, just find an official on the street and ask, and people can tell us the details, it's not a secret." ”

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Ling Xia knew in his heart that the data at the top of the clouds should be accurate. After listening, he silently calculated, and then whispered softly: "There are almost more than 300,000 people in total, and these people should be enough." ”

After whispering, Ling Xia and Xia Ning'er discussed in a low voice, and then looked at everyone in front of them with a straight face: "Everyone, the princess and I have a task that you need to do, please transfer all the manpower after you go back, and then send soldiers to the disaster area for disaster relief." ”

"Disaster relief? How can this be linked to us? Isn't that a matter of catching up with the officials? We only know how to fight, so what kind of disaster relief will it be, and what can we do in the past? Niu Kaishan and the others were a little confused.

"Soldiers are not only born to fight wars, in addition to defending the country and guarding the territory, it is also the duty of soldiers to benefit the people and help the people, in a word, to serve the people." Ling Xia said earnestly.

"Serving the people?"

It was the first time for everyone present to hear this slogan, and after whispering a few times, everyone looked at Ling Xia with admiration, saying that he used these words well, not only these commanders of the general army, but Xia Ning'er on the side also looked at Ling Xia with bright eyes after hearing these five words, and his eyes were full of appreciation.

After shouting the slogan, seeing that everyone had no intention of opposing and resisting the order, Ling Xia began to assign tasks, took out a map of the territory, Ling Xia pointed to the six provinces affected by the disaster, and then said one by one:

"I just calculated, we can almost make up 300,000 troops, in this way, let's divide these 300,000 troops into six parts, and put an average of 50,000 troops in each affected province.

As you must have seen when you came, at this time, the yamen in various places have already started the resettlement of the victims, and disaster relief is not something that can be completed by one person and one city, it requires everyone's full cooperation, and if we want to overcome this disaster, we must work together.

After the soldiers entered the affected provinces, the first task was to clean up the bodies of the victims, and when the time came, you ordered that in addition to the human remains, the corpses of the animals should also be cleaned up, and then transported to a special place for cremation.

Nearly 5 million people were killed in the earthquake, and the soldiers had a lot of work to do, but it is important to remember that the soldiers must take quarantine measures when cleaning up the corpses, pay attention to the prevention of epidemics, and never get infected with epidemics.

After cleaning up the corpses, it is time to clean up the ruins in the disaster area, which is more tedious and huge, and the soldiers should carry the tools to clean up the debris in the ruins in advance, and clean up the debris in the ruins and transport them to the designated place for proper disposal......"

Ling Xia said one, everyone recorded one, encountered doubts or puzzled questions, Ling Xia and everyone patiently discussed, half an hour later, the plan for cleaning up the disaster area has been formulated, at this time, Yue Yunding casually asked:

"The plan and steps for disaster relief have been formulated, and there is basically nothing to add, and all that remains is the livelihood guarantee of the soldiers? What about food and lodging during the disaster relief period? Is it eating with the victims? Afterwards, how much will the court give us? ”

"Well------ this ------" Ling Xia hesitated for a moment, and then replied honestly: "The food and accommodation during the disaster relief period need to be solved by the soldiers themselves, and ------ after the disaster relief, the imperial court does not have any fundraising. ”

"What?"

"Won't it?"

"How so?"

"Nothing?"

When the commanders of the general army heard Ling Xia's words, they were stunned at first, and then, everyone was all fried, and they complained in dissatisfied tones, "We can't open the pot ourselves, how can we have spare time to go to the disaster area to help others?" ”

"That's right, at least you have to take care of food and shelter, don't give anything, you have to bring your own tools, and in the end you have to solve it by yourself even having to eat, how can you do such a thing? Why don't we have anything?

"Master Horse, the brothers are considerate of you, but you also have to be considerate and considerate of us, those governors before bullied and suppressed us to the limit, and they were able to send troops to help them with disaster relief, it was already for your sake, you can't let the soldiers do it in vain, right?"

"We're going to have to do it for nothing!"

Ling Xia said these six words sonorously and forcefully, and looked at everyone with a sincere face: "I know that those governors have bullied you and suppressed you, and everyone is holding back the fire in their hearts, but the people have not bullied and suppressed you, so we can't vent our fire on the victims."

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a natural disaster, it is unpredictable, since the disaster has happened in our territory, we have to take care of it, we have to help, we are not going to a certain adult to provide disaster relief, but to those displaced and homeless people.

There is no distinction between you and me in the face of disaster, and there is no grievance in the face of righteousness. Although those governors and political envoys do not agree with us, but after the disaster, they have to prepare millions of jade coins to relieve the disaster, to soothe the people, to rebuild this fragmented territory, they are all paying, can we just watch. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Xia glanced at those chief soldiers, felt Ling Xia's gaze, and those chief soldiers all lowered their heads.
