Chapter 596: Rush to another battlefield
Qin Feng saw everyone's reaction at this moment, and he also knew what the problem was, and he unconsciously brought the common sense of the twenty-first century here, thought about it, and added: "Sending troops to disaster relief is the fastest and quickest, which can not only effectively alleviate the disaster situation but also reduce losses. At the same time, it can also make the people realize that His Majesty loves the people like a son, and they have more respect for His Majesty. In addition, there is a large army on the side, even if there are really people who are willing to take on natural disasters and make trouble, they must weigh their own abilities to avoid unnecessary disasters. Your Majesty, my lords, instead of mobilizing and organizing the flustered and useless people one by one, it is better to directly transfer troops. Don't discuss it anymore, saving people is like fighting a fire, and many people will die a moment later, and those of us who sit here and talk empty talk are the executioners who indirectly kill hundreds of people. After saying that, he gave Li Chengqian, who was the leader, a look.
Li Chengqian got his eyes, and said loudly: "Father, the natural disaster is coming, the child is not very sad, as the crown prince, he is not willing to sit in this imperial city and watch the news." He is willing to go to the disaster in person on behalf of his father to resist the punishment of heaven and appease the people. ”
"Your Majesty! Let's send troops. Du Ruhui nodded solemnly and approved Qin Feng's proposal.
"Your Majesty, send troops, the people can't afford to wait." Fang Xuanling also said.
"The minister also thinks that General Xiao Qin's method is very good, and asks His Majesty to immediately send a capable official to deal with disaster relief matters, which is urgent." Wei Zheng, who had a simple face, walked out, his voice sonorous and powerful.
"Your Majesty, send troops."
"Your Majesty, send troops."
After the heavyweights stood up, the voices of the Manchu Dynasty were unanimous, and they were all asking for troops.
Li Shimin said: "Xiao Qin Aiqing is reasonable, defending the family and defending the country should not only be a war, but also a battle of life and death to fight against natural disasters?" Since everyone agreed, I immediately sent troops. ”
Speaking of this, he said to Li Chengqian beside him with a telling face: "The prince has this intention, and the father can not allow it." The crown prince is solely responsible for the natural disaster in Henan Province, and it is imperative to rescue the embankment as soon as possible, rescue the people as much as possible, and minimize the casualties. ”
"The retainers take the order."
Li Chengqian issued a military order and said: "If the embankment is broken, it will not be blocked for a day, and the sons will not return for a day." ”
"Good, good, good. This is the pride that my son and the prince of the Tang Dynasty should have. Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian came forward, so he handed over the whole matter to Li Chengqian to deal with.
Li Chengqian thought for a while, and immediately appointed Qin Feng as his deputy, and at the same time asked Wei Zheng to assist, so that he could lead the Zuo Wei Army, Zuo Wuwei, and Zuo Junjun to take the lead and be responsible for blocking the embankment.
Seeing Li Chengqian's arrangement, Li Shimin nodded secretly: Qin Feng was expected to be his deputy, if it wasn't for Li Chengqian standing up himself, he would also let Qin Feng take on the heavy responsibility. In terms of selecting soldiers, Li Chengqian appeared very smart, and since Hou Junji was imprisoned, the Left Guards were leaderless, so the Left Guards sent troops to appease, indicating that the imperial court was not snubbed because of Hou Junji's fault; General Zuo Wuwei is Qin Qiong, and Qin Qiong's soldiers will not slack off under Qin Feng's command; The general of the left leading army is Cheng Zhijie, and he will not embarrass Qin Feng.
………………
East Palace.
Li Chengqian, who took the lead in retiring from the dynasty, and Qin Feng took their seats.
Li Chengqian couldn't wait to say: "My good brother-in-law, let me take over this position today, I don't know what the purpose is." ”
"Are you afraid of death?" Qin Feng said slowly.
Li Chengqian was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It's not a matter of being afraid of death, with my identity, do you really think those guards will let me go to the most dangerous place?" ”
Qin Feng said: "You can see it quite clearly. ”
Li Chengqian sighed and said, "I'm used to it. Now you always believe that I'm not afraid of death, do you? ”
"Are you afraid that you won't be able to handle this kind of thing?"
"Yes!" Li Chengqian said very calmly: "I have no experience in this area, and I don't have any bottom in my heart. Although there are also many things recorded in the history books to control and prevent the embankment from bursting, after all, it is a human book, and no one can say whether it is true or not. ”
He really thought so, if it weren't for Qin Feng's deliberate gesture, he would at most stand with Qin Feng, instead of agreeing rashly.
Qin Feng said cautiously: "My eldest brother, the two of us, I will tell the truth." When His Majesty competed with King Xi for the crown prince, His Majesty possessed the heart of the army, and His Royal Highness King Xi had all the people of the world behind him to support him, and it was precisely because of this that His Majesty had been in a passive position for a long time. So you must not underestimate this reinforcement, you don't want your crown prince to be threatened in the future, if you want to ascend to the throne safely, you must win the hearts of the people. Under the personal guidance of His Majesty, you are good in all aspects, but what you lack is the support of the people, and the people only know that the crown prince is you Li Chengqian, and they don't know anything about what you look like and what you have done for them. So, you have to do a lot of business in this area. If you leave Chang'an, you may give others a chance, but you will certainly lose something. What can be gained will be far more than what is lost. Do you understand what I mean? ”
Many people have regarded Qin Feng as a princeling, not only as a minister of the court, but also as a growing prince. After much consideration and investigation, Qin Feng felt that Li Chengqian did have the special skills of a prince of a country, plus his excellence was recognized, and he was close to Changle, and over time, his heart had a certain bias. Of course, all this is to help him on the basis of Datang's interests, not to help him deal with other princes. If Li Chengqian is a dou who can't be helped, it is not too late for him to avoid it, and others will not find his trouble, after all, he has not done anything bad for Li Chengqian, even if he cooperates, it is for the sake of Datang.
Just like this time.
Li Chengqian suddenly said in his heart: "What my brother-in-law said is extremely true, if it weren't for my brother-in-law's reminder, I would have missed the opportunity...... Fortunately, I was a little smarter, and I brought my brother-in-law with me, and if there was anything inappropriate, I asked my brother-in-law to blame him. ”
Qin Feng smiled: "It is incumbent! ”
While talking, Wei Zheng had already hurried over.
Li Chengqian warmly welcomed Wei Zheng into the main hall and offered tea.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, General Xiao Qin."
Without waiting for Li Chengqian to speak, Wei Zheng, whose butt had not yet landed, couldn't wait to say, "It's a good idea." ”
"Don't hide it from Lord Wei, Cheng Qian doesn't have the slightest clue at the moment." Li Chengqian was very calm.
Wei Zheng was stunned and asked: "I have no clue, why did the prince take on this important task?" ”
Li Chengqian said: "When I heard that the people were affected, I rushed out. ”
Wei Zheng said movingly: "A good one rushed out, and the people of the world thanked the prince." ”
"Lord Wei is polite. Isn't that what Cheng Qian should do? I only hate Cheng Qian's negligence in learning, and I hope that Lord Wei will give me advice. ”
Wei Zheng nodded and said to Qin Feng: "General Xiao Qin has a good plan. ”
Qin Feng said: "What we need to do now is to collect the sacks of the whole Chang'an, and at the same time, let the counties near the disaster area also prepare sacks, the more the better." ”
Li Chengqian was puzzled and asked, "What is the use of this collection sack?" ”
"Make sandbags!" Qin Feng gestured with both hands to the shape of the sandbag and said, "It is not easy to plug the gap in the Yellow River, and in the face of turbulent water, ordinary methods will not work at all. No amount of mud or grout will wash the rapids clean in the moment of flooding. Sandbags are different, they can collect sediment without being washed away, and can also sink to the bottom of the water in the first place. As long as there are enough sandbags, the gap can be filled in a short time and a temporary levee can be erected. If you don't collect too much for a while, you can ask the county officials to mobilize the people and weave bamboo cages. ”
Wei Zheng's eyes lit up, and he saw through the mystery at a glance. He was prepared for funeral at an early age, had a bumpy career, and had rich experience, which also created his talent for governing the country. In the past, he was not allowed to be reused under Li Mi, and was appointed as a local administrative official, responsible for managing government affairs. Li Mi is based on the south bank of the Yellow River, and many places in the territory are often affected by floods.
Wei Zheng also studied how to control the water, and how to repair the embankment to plug the gap when the embankment burst. It is said that wooden piles are driven into the ground as the base, and then the wooden piles are used as support points to build embankments. It is true that a dam can be built in the rushing rapids, but it is extremely dangerous and slow to drive into the piles, which is not conducive to emergency repairs. He also thought hard for a long time, thought of a lot of methods, tried to improve, but the results were not very satisfactory. Especially when encountering strong rapids, it is not as practical as the old method. After all, the old method is clumsy, but it has been tried.
The sandbag embankment method proposed by Qin Feng is indeed convenient and practical, and it is feasible in principle. As for the bamboo cage stone landfill method, it is also ancient, and Li Bing used this method in large quantities when he was in Dujiangyan.
For some reason, Wei Zhengxi said: "This method is fast and feasible, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can follow it quickly." ”
Li Chengqian also did not hesitate to give an order to equip the sacks.
Wei Zheng said with emotion: "This little sandbag will definitely be of great use this time." The great general's brilliant idea can at least reduce thousands of injuries. ”
"It's great to be able to get results." Qin Feng replied, but he was completely sure in his heart. Sandbag flood control damming, which was used in the past years of catastrophic floods, is a method that is not clear about the effect and practicality.
Seeing that Qin Feng was full of confidence, Wei Zheng asked, "The general has also studied this Dao, so you might as well say it, and we will discuss it." One person counts the short, two people count the long, a set of good ideas and methods, can also help more people and reduce unnecessary casualties. ”
Qin Feng pondered for a moment, the knowledge in his mind. In fact, he personally did not know anything about how to fight floods and control water, and he did not bother to study them. However, Qin Feng saw it with his eyes and understood some methods and strategies for repairing the embankment.
Don't look at the time it was modern, with modern technology, but in fact, in many places, because of the road, machinery is like scrap metal, which cannot be used. It was the PLA soldiers who stood in the water, carrying sandbags, and purely relied on manpower to repair the embankment.
Qin Feng elaborated on some of the main points in his memory one by one, what sandbags should be stacked in stacks, when necessary, he could build a human wall to slow down the rapids, and cover others to repair the embankment.
Wei Zheng was amazed, and memorized the details firmly.
This great ruler has already sorted out a set of roughly feasible plans in his mind.
Qin Feng had lunch in the East Palace, and after taking out the goods in his stomach without hesitation, he left the East Palace and went to the military camp to transfer troops.
Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This son is so capable at a young age, he is even better than I imagined, and his future is really unpredictable." ”
Li Chengqian nodded in agreement, he understood Qin Feng's ability much more clearly than Wei Zheng.
The disaster was urgent, as soon as Qin Feng left the East Palace, he immediately rushed to the Zuo Wuwei military camp non-stop, mobilized before the war, and led 20,000 Zuo Wuwei to the agreed meeting place.
After a while, the left guard and the left leader, who had prepared early, also arrived quickly.
