Like Li Yuanfang, who was taken away by Li Zicheng, Lan Yun, who lives in Jinanfu, is also facing a desperate situation of breaking his family. Because the Yellow River took away the course of the Daqing River, overnight, the overflow of the flood broke through the embankment, destroying his home, his family was separated because of the flood, and he himself struggled to pull on a tree, and when the water receded slightly, he could no longer tell where his home was.

But unlike Li Yuanfang, Lan Yun did not have Li Yuanfang's dazed feeling after finding out that he had completely lost his home, he did not hesitate, discerned the direction according to the position of the sun, and headed southeast.

He didn't know anything else, he only remembered that more than three years ago, when their family was captured and driven away by Jian's captivity, it was the tiger guard from that direction who rescued them. He was only fourteen years old at the time, and one of the officials of the Tiger Guard saw that he was clever and asked him if he would like to join the Tiger Guard, and he was full of wishes, but his father did not agree, so he had to return to his hometown.

In the midst of the rancid stench, he didn't know how far he had come, in the midst of hunger and cold, he still remembered the words of the tiger guard at the beginning, even if his lips were thirsty, he resolutely refused to drink the rancid water.

"If you are thirsty, you can still hold on for a while, if you drink this stinky water with worms, it won't take long for you to have diarrhea, swing, and weakness all over your body until you die."

He muttered a word, and then he saw a group of gray-black figures in the distance, and he was in good spirits, the others were fleeing towards the outside of the Yellow Flood Area, and at this time they were coming towards the Yellow Flood Area. Only Tiger Guard!

"I'm here, I'm here!" He waved his hand and shouted at the comer.

This voice alarmed Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen looked over here, and saw this black, thin and dirty young man, who looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

"Little brother, how are you doing?" Yu Guozhen quickened his pace and arrived in front of Lan Yun. He originally wanted to support this staggering young man who was about to fall, but Wang Qinian was faster than him, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed over and helped Lan Yun up.

When Qi Niu was not around, this kid was Yu Guozhen's personal guard, and when it came to personal bravery, he was certainly not as good as Lao Niu. But his agility is no longer inferior to Tian Boguang. The original naivety has not changed. In the past two years, he has been by Jiang'an's side. Taking care of the ranch on Tamna Island, he is polishing and training himself every day, which has greatly improved his actual combat ability.

Lan Yun looked at Wang Qinian with envy, in terms of age, the two were almost the same, but the other party was already a tiger guard, he even thought at this time. If he had followed the Tiger Guard three years ago, according to the words of the Tiger Guard officer at that time. His family can also follow him to Xinxiang, so he won't suffer such a tragedy now.

Yu Guozhen actually knows. With the fall of the Ming Dynasty, there will be many tragic things in the north, and within the scope of his ability, he has given these people a choice. But if the people themselves give up the chance to live, there is nothing he can do - he has no right to stake the future of the entire Chinese nation because of his sympathy and pity.

"When our officials ask, you answer." Wang Qinian was immediately unhappy when he saw that this kid was just looking at him blankly, but did not answer Yu Guozhen's words. But now he is not as tendoned as he was a few years ago, a few years ago, he must not only let go, but also push up, now, after two years of training by the smart man Jiang'an, he can't do such a thing.

"Hungry, hungry, and thirsty." Lan Yun came back to his senses and said.

"Give him a can of Polo." Yu Guozhen said: "There are also spoons." ”

The self-owned orderly took out the can and opened it for him, the faint fruity aroma immediately attracted Lan Yun's attention, and he devoured the can, licking even a drop of sugar water left.

Seeing that he was relieved, Yu Guozhen said: "Are there any people affected by the disaster around here, where are they, can you lead the way?" ”

"Yes, I can!" Lan Yun stared at Yu Guozhen, his eyes were full of respect and worship: "Nanhai Bo, Nanhai Bo, you are Nanhai Bo, I have seen you!" ”

Compared with more than three years ago, Yu Guozhen has not changed much, so after Lan Yun filled his stomach, he still recognized him. After recognizing Yu Guozhen, he thought that he was very rude to look like this, and hurriedly knelt down: "The villain has seen Nanhaibo." ”

"You know me, what's your name?" Yu Guozhen was a little surprised.

"Villain Lan Yun, three years ago, the villain was captured by Jian, and he was rescued by Nanhai Bo, and he saw Nanhai Bo from afar at that time." Lan Yun thought of his family and couldn't help crying: "I regret not being at the beginning, if I had obeyed Nanhaibo and gone to Xinxiang, I would not have the difficulty I have today!" ”

Yu Guozhen patted him on the shoulder and pulled him out of the mud: "Live well, don't let your family down, as long as you are willing to work hard, there is no endless road." ”

"I want to join the Tiger Guard!" Lan Yun said loudly: "Nanhai Bo, please let me join the Tiger Guard, I will definitely work hard!" ”

"Don't talk about it if you don't join the Tiger Guard, our first priority is to save people." Yu Guozhen said: "Such a big flood, it's winter soon, if you can't organize the rescue in time, I don't know how many people will die, Lan Yun, can you help me?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Lan Yun said without hesitation.

"You know where there are people affected by the disaster nearby, take my people to meet them, we set up a temporary camp on a small hill about five miles away from here, the victims will have a hot meal to eat here, and then follow the guidance to go to the Xiaoqing River to wait for the boat, and go to Yangkou with the boat first."

Lan Yun didn't know where the sheep's mouth was, but since Yu Guozhen said so, he naturally did it. In his not yet fully mature mind, Yu Guozhen is the only one who can help him and help him.

Leaving a small team of people to follow Lan Yun, Yu Guozhen continued to walk through the mud, he didn't know how many people like Lan Yun he had rescued along the way, and he didn't know how many corpses he had seen. Fortunately, the weather turned colder, so although the corpse began to decompose, it was not yet to the point where people could not reach it, and their own tiger guards wore gloves and masks to collect them.

"Jimin, I have already sent someone to ask, a total of five provinces and one guard have been affected by the flood. The total number of victims is about 6 million, and at least 2 million of them have lost their homes and need to be resettled. ”

After returning to the temporary camp, Sun Lin rushed over again, he grabbed Yu Guozhen, and briefly reported the disaster.

Yu Guozhen has been operating in this area for a period of time, so there is also Xinxiang's spy system. But the flood also destroyed Xinxiang's spy network, and the government was the fastest to get the news at this time. Hearing that a full 6 million people were affected by the disaster, Yu Guozhen couldn't help but sigh again, even if only 2 million people needed to be resettled, this was not something he could solve now.

"I have ordered that more than seventy percent of Xinxiang's maritime forces be transferred. I'm ready for continuous transshipment. Yu Guozhen said: "Set up a front-line base camp in Yangjiaogou, and build a residence that can temporarily resettle 200,000 people within seven days." Mainly rammed earth for the wall. As long as it can keep out the wind and rain. Then, using the transportation capacity, we strive to transport 30,000 to 40,000 people to Tamna every month, and then transport people from Tamna to Dayuan Island. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Guozhen thought of Wang Chuanlu, who was appointed as the governor of Keelung, he should have received his order now, and he should have a headache.

As Yu Guozhen expected, Keelung Governor Wang Chuanyun just slammed his order on the table.

"This Nanhai Bo. Really...... What a woman's kindness! ”

Wang Chuanlu muttered like this in his mouth, but he was so impressed in his heart that he threw himself to the ground.

Since ancient times. Those who claim to be kings and hegemons use the art of kings. One of the principles of the Emperor's Art is that anyone but himself can become a pawn. To be kind to the people is to treat the people as chess pieces, and to wave the butcher's knife at the people without hesitation, that is to treat the people as chess pieces. Like Yu Guozhen, there is no one who really puts the people first!

Politics is originally hypocritical, Wang Chuanyu has long known this clearly, Yu Guozhen's benevolence also has its hypocritical side, in the final analysis, he is just unwilling to take over this hot potato too early. But at least within the scope of his ability, he did his best to protect the people and save them as much as he could, even at the expense of influencing his own plans.

"This matter can't be done by relying on my civil affairs department, and the whole of Keelung needs to be put into operation."

Wang Chuanlu squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and then made a decision: "Go and invite Ding Yi and Gu Sun, this kind of nerve-wracking thing, you can't let me come alone, alas, I shouldn't have promised Nanhai Bolai to be the governor in the first place." ”

After a while, Ding Yi, who was in charge of military affairs, and Gu Sun, who was in charge of legal affairs, came to Wang Chuanyu together.

Under the Xinxiang Governorship System, the Governor is the local governor, but the only people under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor are civil, military and legal affairs, and the Governor only has the power to supervise and intervene, but in fact it is in the hands of the military officer and the judicial officer. Even the most powerful general among the governors, he could not directly interfere in the training and personnel arrangements of the army, and only in wartime according to Yu Guozhen's authorization did he have temporary decision-making power - the command power remained in the hands of the military officer. The same is true for Keelung, after the Zheng family was eliminated, Keelung was completely under the protection of the Xinxiang Navy, so the armament was relatively simple, and the one who was appointed as the chief of armament was only Ding Yi, the battalion leader of the Tiger Guard.

"You should all understand what Nanhai Bo means." After both of them read Yu Guozhen's order, Wang Chuanyu sighed: "My ambition has always been to engage in practical research, Nanhai Bo drove ducks to the shelves, and let me be the governor of Keelung, I thought it was an idle errand, but I never thought that he was waiting for me here." Judging by his intentions, it is clear that most of the immigrants from the Yellow Flood Area will be resettled to Dayuan Island. I remember that the total population of the prefectures and counties through which the Daqing River passed was six million, so many people...... That is, only one-tenth of them will be transferred, which is 600,000! ”

Hearing the number "600,000", Ding Yi and Gu Sun also showed embarrassed expressions.

"I have an idea, I haven't reported it to Nanhai Bo yet, let's discuss it first, and then report it when it's mature. Since the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Nanhai Bo has carried out experiments in Changhua, you have all read the relevant reports, right? I thought why not just choose a county on Dayuan Island and send a working group of 500 people to each county according to the original Changhua model......"

Ding Yi and Gu Sun both listened attentively to Wang Chuanyu's words, and only listened to the beginning, and the two of them were secretly convinced, no wonder although Wang Chuanlu was not a person trained by Xinxiang's own system, Yu Guozhen still appointed him as the governor of Keelung, and the originally extremely troublesome resettlement work was arranged by him in a blink of an eye.
