"Your Majesty, Hong Feng is almost in Kaifeng City, it's too dangerous here, let's evacuate as soon as possible!" Liu Shengbang, the personal guard, came to Feng Yunshan's side and persuaded Shi Dakai, the righteous king, and Jiang Tianyi, the commander of the Seventh Division. Pen? Interesting?

They couldn't figure out how Feng Yunshan came to Kaifeng City. It's just that I heard that this flood is coming soon, and I am extremely worried, if the Yellow River does not break in a place called Tongwaxiang in Lanyang County as His Majesty expected, but breaks in this Kaifeng Mansion or halfway through, and washes away Feng Yunshan, who has just ascended the throne, it will not become the biggest joke in the world?

And Feng Yunshan came to Kaifeng, in fact, he didn't think so much about it at all, he just knew that this place would not break the mouth, and this was the upstream of the place of the break, it was not so dangerous, by the way, he led the army to escort the grain for disaster relief to Kaifeng, and was blocked in Kaifeng City by the torrential rain.

Moreover, no one cherishes his life more than him. has just become an emperor, and a good life is still to come, let alone death, even if he crosses over again to let him return to modern times, he is not willing. But the responsibility of this era in his heart made him have to come to the center of the flood and the scene of the historical disaster of the Yellow River breach, otherwise, he would not be at ease for the rest of his life. But for the sake of his own safety, he didn't make a public announcement, and even except for Shi Dakai, Jiang Tianyi, Liu Shengbang and others who accompanied him, he didn't even notify Wei Yuan, but quietly asked Liu Shengbang to dispatch two thousand original guards of the Holy King's Palace, which were now renamed the elite of the Imperial Imperial Forest Army, to escort him to the edge of the Yellow River.

But other subordinates like Liu Shengbang and Jiang Tianyi don't know this, because Kaifeng has always been the most victimized place of the Yellow River breach, Your Majesty is here, in their eyes, it is naturally for the people to come to the dangerous place, so that they are moved, but they are also very worried.

"Don't panic, didn't you say that Emperor Yu gave me a dream, and it was a break in Lanyang? This is Kaifeng, and it's very safe. Where is Chongen, the governor of Shandong? Feng Yunshan changed the topic and asked.

"Your Majesty, Chong'en has already joined Lord Qincha Wei, and now he should supervise the excavation of the Yellow River Ancient Road in the area of Caozhou Mansion and Daimyo's Mansion Dongming. Do you want to notify them to come here to see the driver? Liu Shengbang asked.

"No, let them do things with peace of mind, nothing is more important now than disaster relief. I shouldn't have come, but I really couldn't feel at ease. Feng Yunshan didn't want to affect disaster relief because of himself.

"Your Majesty's heart is for the people, and it is really a blessing for the people of the empire!" Shi Dakai and the others sighed sincerely.

Feng Yunshan waved his hand, since he became the emperor, the people around him, even Shi Dakai, began to flatter more, could it be that his authority is getting stronger and stronger?

He said to Jiang Tianyi: "Senior Commander Jiang, I have ordered you to be fully responsible for the disaster relief in the Yellow River area between Henan and Shaanxi, and all the local officials are under your command. If there is no cooperation, they can be arrested first and then reported. There is only one point, I must minimize the disaster, if there are a large number of victims, I will ask you! ”

Feng Yunshan's words were a bit harsh.

Jiang Tianyi hurriedly patted his chest and reassured: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to set up a military order, if it is not good for disaster relief, come and see you!" ”

Feng Yunshan nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone: "It's not that I'm too strict, I'm really not at ease. Since ancient times, when people encounter such natural disasters, it is a human tragedy. ”

"I remember the flood of the Yangtze River in the 28th year of the former Qing Demon Daoguang, several prefectures and counties in Jingzhou Prefecture had no harvest, and the victims fled in all directions, digging grass roots, peeling tree bark, touching fish and catching rats, abandoning wives and children or selling children everywhere, and there were even people in the city who took the dung and dregs on the street to eat, and there was a tragedy of cannibalism in the countryside, and the bones of the dead filled the official road, which was really shocking!" Feng Yunshan said with some pain the impression he once remembered about the flood, and emphasized: "These, I will never allow the appearance of the Chinese Empire, and I will never let a large number of people starve to death under my rule, and a similar human tragedy will occur!" Therefore, please Jiang Aiqing! ”

Jiang Tianyi's eyes were full of tears, and he knelt down and bowed: "Your Majesty, rest assured!" ”

At that moment, Feng Yunshan issued another decree and decided to exempt the entire affected areas in the Yellow River Basin from taxation for one year and defer the levy for one year. Of course, the specific standards for tax reduction and exemption are still formulated by the Ministry of Finance and Taxation, and according to the severity of the disaster, the tax reduction and exemption are carried out by classification, but because the post-disaster reconstruction requires labor, the tax reduction and exemption will naturally be replaced by labor, supplemented by porridge, rice, and wages. At the same time, Feng Yunshan also stressed that in order to balance prices, Shaanxi, Henan, and the prefectures and counties adjacent to the disaster area that have not been affected by the disaster will also be suspended to ensure that prices in the vicinity of the entire disaster-stricken area are stable.

The most important thing is that Feng Yunshan demanded that the local officials who were retained must be strictly supervised and picketed, and that if local officials, soldiers and soldiers who were taken advantage of the opportunity to make profits, and local inferior gentry, they must be severely punished. For the fight against corruption, from the very beginning, Feng Yunshan has carried out a high-pressure policy, although it cannot be completely eliminated, but he can still do one point is one point.

That night, Feng Yunshan finally failed to withstand the persuasion of Liu Shengbang and Shi Dakai, left Kaifeng City, and moved to a hill between the northeast of Kaifeng and Lanyang County.

After resting on this mound for one night, the next day was bright, and Feng Yunshan was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves.

More than a dozen fast horses galloped from the direction of Lanyang City in the east.

After a while, Shi Dakai asked to see Feng Yunshan with an anxious face: "Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Yellow River has burst!" It is exactly what His Majesty said, a dam called Tongwaxiang twenty miles north of Lanyang County. ”

"When did it happen? How long has it been since the levee burst? Feng Yunshan was shocked, sure enough, it still happened, and it was really this section of the river called Tongwaxiang that burst the embankment. It seems that the Yellow River has not been affected in the slightest because of its crossing. Thinking of the precautions he had done in advance, he also invited Wei Yuan to come and deal with them in advance, build an aqueduct, introduce the Yellow River into the Yellow River in the Song Dynasty, and evacuate the people downstream of the breach in advance, at least the disaster situation was much better than the disaster in history.

Moreover, since God has arranged for Himself to come to this era, is it not precisely to save the people from fire and water? Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan's heart settled down.

"The messenger who reported the news said that in the second half of the night last night, the soldiers of a battalion stationed on the earthen hill in the north of Lanyang City heard a loud noise, and the soldiers and people patrolling the embankment hurriedly went to check it, and found that the embankment of the Yellow River had burst, more than ten zhang wide, and it was washed away by the flood, and it was getting wider and wider." Shi Dakai sighed, "Fortunately, because His Majesty warned in advance that this place would breach, the soldiers and people did not camp under this section of the embankment, and the patrols at the time of the breach happened to pass the embankment and were not swept away by the flood. ”

"The low-lying area downstream is the border of Dongming Prefecture in the Daimyo Mansion. A few days ago, I heard that the river channel on Weiyuan's side has basically completed the excavation and drainage, but I don't know if it can withstand such a large amount of water in the Yellow River? Feng Yunshan frowned: "No, we still have to find a way to strengthen the breach as much as possible, don't burst the embankment all at once, and let all the floods rush to the north!" ”

After speaking, Feng Yunshan waved his hand and ordered, asking Shi Dakai to quickly mobilize the Ninth Division, the Ningbo Tenant Water Division and the original Taiping Water Division, nearly 30,000 people, to immediately rush to the Yellow River embankment to strengthen the embankment next to the breach.

Feng Yunshan's purpose is naturally to prevent the breach from collapsing all at once, so that all the floods of the Yellow River will be discharged to the north, so that not only will the flood water in the upper reaches of the Yellow River be poured down, but also the water in the lower reaches of the Yellow River will be brought in, and the excavated river channel will definitely not be able to withstand it, and it must be controlled.

Even if the breach cannot be resisted, it must be decided slowly, restricting the flow of water rushing to Shandong, first scouring up the downstream river, and then slowly becoming larger, not all at once.
