Chapter 159: Facing the Vast Sea of the People
At this moment, Yang He, who was considered by Zhao Hong to be the most ruthless man in the world, was on the top of the mountain east of Luoyang, commanding his men and horses to chase east.
But when he saw that his own soldiers who had left in the big tent came in a hurry, even faster than the flow of water.
"My lord, it's not good!"
Yang He thought that his heart had been poked numb, his heart was extremely haggard, and he asked without raising his eyelids, "What's wrong?" ”
"The supervising army is a father-in-law, and he led people to dig the Yellow River privately, and sent his fellow villager Li Ruxian to dig a hole in Luoshui, and the water has already flowed over."
Yang He only felt a sweetness in his throat, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his eyes turned black, and he fell off the horse.
Hua Qiu, who had done such a big thing, stood proudly on the embankment, unaware that he had changed the general trend of the whole world.
It's a pity that I have been clean since I was a child and can't grow a beard, otherwise at this time, the playboy would definitely stroke his beard and sigh, and think of himself as a beautiful man.
Zhao Hong didn't dare to be careless, and had already sent someone to inform Zhu Yousong. In fact, without him, the water is already flowing to the palace.
The gentry who shrank at home in Luoyang City to watch the excitement, waiting for the two sides to decide the winner, or the ordinary people who didn't dare to show their heads, were also forced out at this moment.
Luoyang's terrain is flat, even some low-lying, and the embankment that has just been blocked has been artificially dug up again.
For the people in the nearby prefectures and counties of Luoyang, it is equivalent to a wound that has just been bandaged and has not yet recovered. At this time, an unreasonable villain suddenly came and kicked you in the wound.
It's just unbearable!
There are many Qionglou Yuyu in the palace, Zhu Yousong has a son of a royal mansion in one hand, I don't know which person's child is it, he saw it, held it in his hand, and walked to the nearest Huang'en Hall with everyone in the palace.
Out of the inner courtyard, Hu Bawan, a personal soldier, and Liu Yi, the commander of the guards, both rushed towards him. Zhu Yousong shouted: "Leave me alone, go to the princess and bring them all out." ”
Some of the subordinates who can't find their children are already shouting frantically, up and down the palace, chickens and dogs jumping.
The palace is still like this, let alone ordinary people, I don't know how many wives have been separated. For a time, the people of Luoyang climbed over the wall and went to the roof, scolding their mothers.
Ying'en Temple is located on a high ground, and in this disaster, it became a refuge. Many families whose houses collapsed, or whose houses were short, rushed to Ying'en Temple.
The most bitter thing is that many of the wounded soldiers who were originally treated in Luoyang City have difficulty moving and can only rely on people to carry them.
Zhao Hong commanded the soldiers, using all kinds of wooden planks that could be seen, making boats, rafts, and stretchers, and desperately transporting them to the city tower.
The city tower, which was the most dangerous place in Luoyang yesterday, has become the safest place in the city at this time.
Hua Qiu brought them all big soldiers, who only knew about destruction, but they didn't understand water conservancy.
They simply and brutally smashed the embankment, originally only intentionally releasing water into Luoyang, but when the water rushed away, the embankment collapsed instantly.
The whole of Luoyang will soon become a quagmire.
Those who have not experienced the floods of ancient times will never understand how terrible this event is.
Since ancient times, the first major task of our ancestors has been to control water. Jiuding, Kyushu, are all from this.
Hua Qiu was self-righteous and turned Henan Mansion into a quagmire, and soon, Henan Mansion would become their "quagmire".
Lei Dong on the other road, covered by dark clouds, went down to the city and returned to Heishidu.
Yue Chenfeng, who got the news of his uncle, finally made a move, after the last cart of grain from the Zhou Wangfu was transported through Heishidu, behind them, thousands of bandits who had been raised for several months sharpened their knives to a shiny one, and they wanted to "return to the old business" and do it again.
Zhang Hao came from the front with people, and after Yue Chen's wind, there were mostly cavalry in front and behind. The grain and grass that King Zhou painstakingly gathered, which could supply 100,000 people, was cut off by his two bitter masters.
And the Ming army who came to chase after him was at a loss because of the fainting death of the coach Yang He.
The current situation is chaotic and complicated, and no one has the courage to stand up and turn the tide.
Everyone unanimously decided to report to the imperial court, after all, there is no need for anyone to stand up and take responsibility. In the eyes of these commanders-in-chief, the hero is something that is admired there, not done by himself.
The will of the imperial court has not yet come, and the news that the official army broke the embankment to deal with King Xiaofu has already spread from the barracks.
Many of these people are Henan soldiers, and it is their relatives who are suffering, and they themselves are still gritting their teeth, who will help a eunuch cover up.
The monstrous anger of the people was all transformed into hatred of the imperial court. The front foot of Xiaofu King has just eliminated the flood, and the kindness is still there, and there is such a stark contrast. The people's desire has already returned to the Luoyang Fuwang Mansion.
Even some gentry, state and county officials, openly and secretly complained about the imperial court.
The people who had no way to live in the flood consciously organized, and the rebels sprung up everywhere, with slogans all in support of King Fu, and the soldiers under the command of Yang He, first, they had no food, their hungry eyes were green, and secondly, their hometowns were flooded, and they all gritted their teeth and hated, and they surrendered one after another.
In Luoyang City, Zhu Yousong pulled his trouser legs, revealing his strong calves, and was jumping to scold his mother.
What the imperial court has done has exceeded his bottom line, and he has never believed that the dignified Ming Dynasty would do such a thing to his own people. The last vestiges of illusion in my heart about the imperial court were also shattered.
"This court is already rotten!" Looking at the cloudy sky, Zhu Yousong had a hint of foreboding, which made him flustered.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap and torrential rain.
"Thief God!"
Hua Qiu, who caused a big disaster, took her cronies and disguised herself and fled to the capital.
The court, who inexplicably carried the black pot for him, was also confused when he heard the news. Everyone knows Yang He's personality, such a thing, even if he is a fool, he has to weigh it, not to mention that Yang He is notoriously shrewd.
It wasn't until the news came that the superintendent Hua Qiu, carrying the commander behind his back, disobeyed the general's order, and the civil officials breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what the result is, it is the first thing to put the pot on the eunuchs and protect the reputation of our civil official group.
Zhu Youzhen has been a day and a night, he has not closed his eyes, he knelt in the Taimiao, did not eat or drink, and even the queen mother could not be persuaded to move.
"It is my iniquity that the people suffer."
Suddenly, a small yellow door hurried over, knelt on the ground and advanced, leaned into his ear and said, "Your Majesty, Huaqiu is back." ”
Zhu Youzhen stood up suddenly, knelt for a long time, and didn't eat, so he shook a few times and almost fell.
With the support of Xiao Huangmen, he finally stood up straight, and soon, a sharp, hoarse roar came from the Taimiao:
"Then this dog thief, bring it up, I will kill him alive!"
