The raging flood passed in front of you like a galloping horse, and in a huge roar, the muddy flood rushed in front of you with the trees and garbage that swept from upstream.

Looking at everything in front of him, Liu Jun showed a very satisfied smile, and he finally managed to transport these people to a safe place before the flood came.

Looking at the people who were standing in front of him, his eyes were full of confusion about the future. Liu Jun's smile just now disappeared suddenly, and he was replaced by a heavy heart.

These people, who all live on the other side of the river, now that the roaring flood has washed away their homes, and has washed away all that they have worked so hard to gain, and now in their hands, the only thing they have snatched is some parcels and clothes, and nothing else is left.

These people in tattered clothes sat or stood looking at the other side, and Liu Jun felt very uncomfortable. If he hadn't ordered it, perhaps, the homes of these people would not have been washed away. However, if their homeland is not sacrificed, then the Yellow River will not be able to bear it, and it will cause even greater disasters when the time comes. No matter what, Liu Jun always thinks that this is his own sin.

"Head, now that the gaps that should be opened have been opened, the water flow of the main trunk of the Yellow River should be able to withstand the floods upstream, and now, I am afraid we have to consider the problems after the flood."

Zhong Lin thought far ahead this time, he was born in the countryside, and knew that after the disaster, the most terrible problem was the problem of food and accommodation.

According to statistics from various places, at least 5,000 houses have been destroyed and 30,000 people have been left homeless since the Yellow River burst, and the number of people who died in this flood is still unknown.

In the past few days, the emergency construction of the Qing army and the Liaodong army in various places has been enough to cope with the floods everywhere, and all that remains is the problem of how to rebuild after the disaster and the problem of food.

Liu Jun knew very well in his heart what the problem was after the flood that Zhong Lin said.

looked at the people around him: "You go and make arrangements, ask their opinions, if you are willing to go to Liaodong, let the Guangbing escort them to Liaodong, if you don't want to go, you will be here in the future, waiting for the house to be rebuilt." Taking a deep breath, Liu Jun once again shifted his gaze to the flood in the distance: "After finishing this matter, come to Binzhou to find me." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he turned around and left the hillside, and under the escort of the guards, he began to return to Binzhou.

Perhaps it was Liu Jun's move to save these people regardless of his own safety that moved the simple people, and after Zhong Lin said Liu Jun's opinion, none of these people objected, and all of them hoped to go to Liaodong and be the subjects of the commander.

Binzhou County Ya. Liu Jun put down the pen in his hand and looked at Zhong Lin, who was taking off his raincoat: "It's all sent out." ”

Today, it is the time for more than 3,000 people to leave for Liaodong, because Liu Jun has too many things to deal with, this is responsible for the problem of delivery, Liu Jun arranged it to Zhong Lin.

"Don't worry, it's already been sent out, Guangbing and Pingyuan will send them to Weihai, and then after the interruption, they will go to Lushun."

Nodding slightly, Liu Jun looked at the map again, and then motioned for Zhong Lin to come over.

After Zhong Lin left, Liu Jun has been thinking about a problem, that is, the problem of food distribution.

There are many corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty, and they can't wait for the mud to be scraped out of two taels of oil. In this grain distribution, Liu Jun was really worried that some disobedient guys who were not afraid of killing would do something from it, so he decided to divide the entire disaster-stricken area into five areas, and in each area, arrange a Liaodong Army to supervise and monitor these officials, and if anyone dares to eat, then kill them directly, there are no conditions to negotiate.

He had already received a telegram from Li Hongzhang that the grain allocated by the imperial court this time was an average of 100 catties of grain per person.

One hundred catties of grain, one pound a day per person, that is only one hundred days, that is, three months, this is just December, the top of the sky, that is, January, then the remaining months, how do the people live. They must not be allowed to eat the roots of the turf. He thought about it for a while, at present, there is no big war in Liaodong and everywhere, and the grain in Liaodong is enough to eat for several years, he thought, once again, with an average of 200 catties of grain per person, plus 100 catties of the imperial court, then each person is 300 catties, which will not be a problem until next year's harvest.

In addition, the people who suffered losses in the Yellow River burst this time, the third layer has gone to the northeast, so there are not too many people left.

As soon as this statement came out, I thought that Zhong Lin disagreed, but I didn't expect that Zhong Lin raised his hand in favor.

Since Zhong Lin agreed with his suggestion, Liu Junzai did not have any concerns, and immediately ordered that the Beiyang Naval Division anchored in Laizhou Bay should return to Lushun, bring grain, and then hoard it in Dongying, and when the flood waters receded, immediately organize personnel to distribute it.

Ten days later, all the observation points and county officials sent information that the water level of the Yellow River had been declining, and Liu Jun, who had been tightening a string, finally let out a long breath after hearing the report of the last county government.

The grain allocated by the imperial court had been transported to Dongying by the Beiyang Navy Division three days ago, and in the following time, Liu Jun did not have much to do. Zhong Lin is in charge.

Zhong Lin is also ruthless enough, every county office, he discussed with Li Rong, and he insisted on mobilizing a division from the middle, scattered to various places, and was responsible for supervising the distribution of grain by officials in various places. After being knocked to death on the spot, two county orders, a prefect and three deputy generals, no one dared to pay attention to this batch of food, and all the materials were distributed in an orderly manner.

The people are the most sensible, and they know that the two hundred catties of grain in their hands were urgently transported back from Lushun by Liu Dashuai, and many people knelt down in the direction of Liaodong and wept bitterly.

These people, many of them, have prejudices against Liu Jun. In their opinion, Liu Jun was a wicked man who was disloyal and unfilial to the imperial court, but this wicked man who wanted to devour his flesh in the mouths of his family and even friends was the first to appear on the front line after his own disaster, and the first to mobilize nearly 100,000 troops to help him. Many people have both remorse and a feeling in their tears.

Binzhou, Liu Jun looked at Zhong Lin, who was telling how the people said they were good, and the boss in his heart didn't believe it. If you do this yourself, you can make the people so grateful. He did not believe it.

But believe it or not, Zhong Lin is not lying, after all, Zhong Lin is on the front line of distributing supplies. At that time, he saw thousands of people kneeling in pain in the face of Liaodong, and his heart was also shocked. You must know that those people are not only kneeling Liu Jun, but also the people of Liaodong who are kneeling, the Liaodong Army.

"Stop." Seeing that Zhong Lin was going to continue, Liu Jun hurriedly waved his hand and put down the teacup in his hand, Liu Jun stood up suddenly, and now he was concerned about how much he had lost, or rather, how many people had died.

Zhong Lin knew that he couldn't run this day, in fact, he had already gotten the numbers a few days ago, but he didn't dare to hand it to Liu Jun, he was worried that Liu Jun would not be able to bear it by then.

"Head, it's not good, this time it's too sudden, so." Seeing Zhong Lin spitting and spitting, Liu Jun took a deep breath, he was already mentally prepared.

It took nearly two days after the Yellow River burst to arrive, and at the time of the accident, only a small number of local officials were helping the people to retreat, so it was inevitable that there would be major casualties.

"Say, I'm prepared."

Seeing Liu Jun say this, Zhong Lin bit his lip and took out the document from his pocket this time.

"The people suffered nearly 50,000 casualties this time, of which 20,000 were missing and 35,000 were missing, the bodies have been found, and nearly 6,000 houses were destroyed. There is no shortage of food."

More than 50,000 people, Liu Jun, who heard this number, suddenly closed his eyes in pain. He was already mentally prepared, but he didn't expect to lose so much.

It was all caused by their own mistakes, otherwise, the people would not have suffered so much.

Yes...... For a long time, from the county government, Liu Jun's earth-shattering cry came out,
