In July, the rainy season in Koto was a disaster.

Jinling City.

Above the sky, the dripping torrential rain poured down, and the soybean-sized raindrops were washing every corner of this great city very hard, and it seemed to be a unique beauty in the haze.

"Smack!"

In the imperial study of Miyagi, Sun Quan stood up directly in front of several important cabinet ministers, and smashed the file in his hand on the head of Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and was furious: "Liu Ziyang, is this the result given to me by your Ministry of Industry?" ”

The heavy rain in Jiangdong has been falling from the sky, the rain is strong and the wind is urgent, the water has become a disaster, all sides have burst the embankment, within three days, the Yangtze River, Poyang, Taihu Lake, Qiantang River, there have been more than a dozen to the continuous bursting of the embankment, the whole Jiangdong seems to have become a watery piece.

More than one million people were affected by the floods.

The number of casualties in the disaster is increasing every day, and now it is close to four digits, and there are signs of skyrocketing.

This is the largest flood that broke out in Jiangdong since Sun Quan ascended the throne, and even the most serious one in the many years that the Sun family has ruled Jiangdong, which is three points more serious than the disaster in Sun Jian's era.

"Your Majesty, this matter is the incompetence of Weichen, and Weichen deserves death!"

Liu Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, knelt down on his knees, gritted his teeth tightly, lowered his head, and said in a low voice.

The Ministry of Works controls the world's fortifications, and the construction of dams has always been the top priority, and now facing this erosive situation, there are some suspicions of dereliction of duty by the Ministry of Works.

"Incompetent?"

When Sun Quan heard this, he sneered, his eyes were red, and his anger was like thunder: "I have never treated the Ministry of Industry badly in the years since I asked myself, and I have strongly supported every project of the Ministry of Industry. But now you have disappointed me. ”

"Your Majesty, this year's floods are more serious, many old-fashioned river embankments have not been built, they have been broken, and now our Ministry of Industry has tried its best to renovate them!"

Liu Ye sighed and said in a low voice.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

Although Sun has been in power for many years, he has been vigorously engaged in water conservancy. But the mess left by the previous dynasty cannot be solved in a moment.

It's just that no one expected that such a flood would break out this year.

"Okay, I can tell you about the old-fashioned project, but the Anyang River embankment in Chaisang was the latest project of the Ministry of Industry last year, and as a result, in a year, in a year, it collapsed. How do you let me believe in your ministry in the future! ”

Sun Quan's eyes were cold, and every word was murderous: "Such a project, your Ministry of Industry can also take it, do you really think that my butcher's knife will seal the mountain?" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

Liu Ye's forehead was like cold sweat.

Although he is incorruptible, there are also many filthy and corrupt people in the Ministry of Industry.

"Now is not the time to hold accountable. I'll ask the Imperial Observatory to intervene in the investigation and find anyone in this matter. I will not tolerate the traitors, and the most important task of the Ministry of Industry now is to repair the world's dikes in the shortest possible time, and to strengthen any dikes that may burst, so as to see if the rain still falls. You personally lead someone to do this thing, you have to race against time, compete with God, don't come back if you can't do it! ”

Sun Quan's words were very heavy and cold, and the entire imperial study seemed to be covered with a layer of cold hail.

"No!"

Liu Ye nodded and took the order. Hurriedly left the main hall.

Sun Quan took a deep breath, calmed down the anger in his heart, don't look over, and looked at the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Zhao, the second assistant, Kuai Liang, Zhu Zhi and others: "Zibu, how is the cabinet preparing for disaster relief in various places now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the inspection team for disaster relief has now begun to set off one after another, and the county guards will strongly support it, and the cabinet has allocated a million silver dollars to relieve the disaster as much as possible!"

Zhang Zhao arched his hand and said.

"A million? If the ordinary disaster situation is about the same, but in terms of this year's disaster, I'm afraid I can't make up a fraction of it! ”

Sun Quan frowned, and looked at the newly appointed Hubu Shangshu with puzzled eyes: "Lu Su! ”

"Your Majesty, the disaster relief matters that have been arranged by the household department, this million silver dollars is only the first disaster relief money allocated, and there will be more later, but this year's disaster is more serious, and we are indeed underprepared, although we have tried our best to remedy it, it may cause some casualties!"

Lu Su lowered his head and said with a bow.

He had just taken over the household department, and the handover between him and Zhou Yu had not yet been completed, let alone the household affairs, and he was a little caught off guard when this disaster suddenly broke out.

"Is there a problem with the disaster relief budget?"

Sun Quan squinted, he knew that it was a problem in this area as soon as he heard it, otherwise the cabinet would not have dragged its feet.

"Hmm!"

Lu Su nodded helplessly: "Your Majesty, in fact, this year's household budget has been written tightly, the reform of the Military Aircraft Department has begun, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, so the military expenditure for the second half of the year has been advanced, in terms of civil affairs, it is naturally a little tight, and now the sudden flood has caught us off guard!" ”

Last year's battles took the rich Great Wu Dynasty as a poor one, and now the household department has to break two copper coins to use.

"Has this military budget been allocated out?" Sun Quan asked.

"Not yet, the military expenses are still on the books of the Ministry of Households, but the cabinet has already stamped a big seal, and it has also been discussed with the Military Aircraft Department, and it will pass through Dawu Qianzhuang in five days at most and enter the books of the Military Aircraft Department!"

Zhang Zhao said.

Lu Su added: "Your Majesty, this is a matter that has been made when Zhou Shangshu of the General Staff Department was in power!" ”

"No matter, Lu Su, you leave half of this money for disaster relief!"

Sun Quan gritted his teeth, his eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice: "Now nothing is as important as disaster relief, no matter what, we must ensure the control of the disaster, and the cabinet must send a heavyweight minister to be responsible for disaster relief and stabilize the people's hearts!" ”

"No!" Lu Su nodded.

"Your Majesty, the military has been intercepted, will this make the Military Aircraft Department complain?" Kuai Liang was a little worried.

There have always been some signs of discord between the Cabinet and the Military Cabinet, and between the military and the government, they have different positions and do not consider the same things. Naturally, there will be disputes, and this time the military funds of the military have been used without authorization, and they will definitely fight.

"I personally analyze it, special times, special treatment!"

Sun Quan said categorically.

Zhu Zhi thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty." If half of this military expenditure is set aside, it will not be difficult for our disaster relief, with the prestige of our imperial court in Jiangdong now, we can gather manpower and material resources in a short period of time, and we should be able to stabilize the disaster situation, but such a big disaster will cause great turmoil in the hearts of the people, and if someone has a heart to take advantage of it, it will be more serious. Someone will rise up, after all, the foundation of our Dawu is only for more than ten years, which is not enough to make the people die, and in this regard, Weichen thinks that people from the royal family need to come forward! ”

Even if the Eastern Wu Imperial Court was counted from the time when Sun Jian occupied Wu County, it would only take more than ten years to stabilize people's hearts, but now the days are still a little shorter, and there will be no problems with the people's hearts in normal times. But the disaster situation of such a fight is clear, and it will definitely make the people complain about the court. Once it is used by someone with a heart, it will evolve into an uncovering.

In this era, the emperor represents the Son of Heaven, and the royal family represents the heavenly family.

"You're right. With such a big disaster, if there is no person on the throne of the Sun family, the people's hearts will indeed be unstable, but now there is no royal family in Jinling City to come forward! ”

Sun Quan's eyes were deep and he pondered for half a minute. Thinking of a person, his eyes lit up, and he said: "In this way, I will make a holy decree, let Fuchun wait for Sun Yi to inspect the disaster area on behalf of the sky, and provide disaster relief and save the people!" ”

"Fu Chun Waiting?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment.

If Sun Quan didn't mention it, they probably forgot that there was still a rich spring in Jinling City.

It has been a while since this Fuchun Hou was released from the imperial mausoleum, but he is just an empty marquis, and he has no influence above the court.

"He is my younger brother after all, although he has done very wrong things, but he is still very young, I think he still has a chance to change, as for whether he can grasp this opportunity, it depends on his own choice!"

Sun Quan said lightly: "The household department cooperates with him, tries to stabilize the people's hearts in a short period of time, and now it is the first priority to do a good job in disaster relief!" ”

"No!"

Everyone nodded, and didn't say much, a Sun Yi, they didn't pay much attention to it.

Sun Quan's face was serious, his eyes swept over, staring at everyone, word by word, and said loudly: "The standard for disaster relief this time, I only have one sentence, your cabinet needs to let the people see the action, if you can save one by one, if you can save one family, if you can save one family, natural disasters are ruthless, and Dawu will not give up!" ”

"Yes!"

The expressions of the crowd suddenly became solemn.

……

For several days, the heavy rain did not stop, the disaster in Jiangdong was still expanding, although the Great Wu Imperial Court did its best to revive the disaster, but the sky was not beautiful, the rain became heavier and heavier, and there were signs of a flood outbreak that was rare once in a century.

Entering the August season, the violent rain is still falling, and the flood in Jiangdong has completely evolved into a major flood, which has made people panic, and the focus of the entire Dawu Dynasty is on disaster relief.

"In front of God, it's still a little too weak!"

Standing on the long corridor of the palace, staring at the raindrops as big as beans falling to the ground with gloomy eyes, Sun Quan's heart was very worried: "This is a natural disaster!" ”

In his mind, he suddenly remembered the catastrophic flood of '98 in modern times, and with the development level of the republic at that time, the casualties could be so serious.

Now that they are in this era, they belong to a backward era, and the natural disasters of this great flood will only become more tragic.

"Your Majesty, Flame Legion, Commander He asks to see you!"

The great eunuch Cao Yang walked up, put a brocade robe and cloak on Sun Quan, and said in a low voice.

"Let him go to the Imperial Study!"

Sun Quan took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and walked out towards the imperial study.

In the imperial study, He Qi did not wear armor and military uniform, he was just an ordinary brocade robe, his tall body stood upright, with a trace of military rigor, and when he saw Sun Quan walking in, he hurriedly saluted: "The last general He Qi, see Your Majesty!" ”

"Gong Miao, this is not the Military Aircraft Pavilion, there are not so many rules, sit down!"

Sun Quan walked in, sat on a chair, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then poured a cup for He Qi as well: "This weather is a little humid and shady, drink a cup of hot tea to warm your stomach!" ”

"No!"

He Qi sat down solemnly, took a sip of hot tea, and then said, "Your Majesty, I will first report to you on the reorganization of the Flame Legion, and it is currently ......."

The Flame Legion is the establishment legion completed immediately after the Central Legion, and He Qi's return to Jinling this time is for the purpose of formation.

"No hurry!"

Sun Quan interrupted He Qi's words, and then said: "You can report this matter to the Military Aircraft Department, I invited you to come today, not to say this!" ”

"What does Your Majesty want to say?"

He Qi was a little puzzled.

"Qingzhou!"

Sun Quan's eyes became sharp: "Last year's Northern Expedition to Cao Wei, we failed, but between Wu and Wei, there must be a bloody battle, this battle will not be very far, I estimate that there will be no battle between our Great Wu and Cao Wei this year, but next year there will definitely be a small-scale battle, Qingzhou will be a beginning!" ”

"The beginning? The beginning of the next Northern Expedition to Cao Wei? Is it because of the Cao Wei Navy? ”

He Qi understood.

"That's right!"

Sun Quan had some appreciation for He Qi's keen thinking, he nodded and said: "During the first Northern Expedition, I intended to fight fast and fast, and wanted to use the smallest scale to take Cao Wei and pacify the Central Plains, but Cao Wei's heritage was underestimated, so the success was successful, so the next Northern Expedition to Cao Wei can only be taken step by step, step by step to take Cao Wei's territory, the first one to be taken away, can only be Qingzhou, Cao Wei's navy is getting stronger and stronger, I don't allow Cao Wei's navy to go to sea, you and I both understand, the stability of the East China Sea shipping lane, It is related to the connection and economy of Jiangdong and northern Xinjiang, and there is no room for loss! ”

"When does Your Majesty want to start fighting?"

He Qi thought for a moment and asked: "Our Flame Legion has basically completed its establishment, and the whole training should be completed at the end of the year, and the full combat effectiveness has been restored, and it can be fully attacked at the beginning of spring next year!" ”

"Preemptively, next June, how's that?" Sun Quan asked.

"It should be no problem, but Your Majesty, with the strength of the Flame Legion alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull out this hidden danger in Qingzhou!" He Qi said: "We raised tigers for trouble, and we didn't take Cai Mao in time, Cai Mao has now become the general trend after all, if we fight Qingzhou, we must be reinforced by the Wild Lion Legion!" ”

"It's hard!"

Sun Quan smiled bitterly: "Zu Mao is now leading his troops north to Fuyu, intending to annihilate the Buyeo tribe, he doesn't have extra troops for you!" ”

"Can the Central Army Corps reinforce a few divisions?" He Qi said.

"That's not good, as soon as the Central Legion moves, it will be equivalent to a decisive battle, so this battle can only be fought with the Flame Legion's own strength!" Sun Quan shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"What about the Sea Eagle Legion?" He Qi did not give up.

"That's something to consider!"

Sun Quan's eyes lit up, the battle report of the Battle of Guishan had come back a few days ago, and taking Guishan would mean that the Sea Eagle Legion was about to withdraw from Guishan and return to the sea, the Sea Eagle Legion was an all-navy legion, and its combat effectiveness at sea was stronger than that of the Flame Legion.

"At the end of the year, Zhou Tai will be released back to Jinling City to report on his work, and you can discuss with Zhou Tai at that time to see if he can lend you troops!"

Sun Quan groaned for a while, and then said: "But don't have too much hope, Zhou Tai is now planning to go west by sea, focusing on the Great West Expedition, the battle of Qingzhou still depends on the ability of your Flame Legion, this will be the beginning of the decisive battle, whether it can be won, to what extent, will have a great impact on the later battles!" ”

"The Admiral understands!"

He Qi's eyes became sharper, and there was a strong battle intent in his expression: "The last general will never live up to His Majesty's expectations, I will go back to prepare for the war, and this battle will be won!" (To be continued.) )

PS: The second will be a little late.,It's only now that the code word begins.,Tonight,It's going to be a night battle!
