His Majesty the Second Emperor is worried about the people affected by the disaster, and may personally go to Julu, Taiyuan, and Shangdang, the three most flooded counties, to inspect and comfort the people in the near future. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the sun was just rising, such a piece of news that seemed to be unable to withstand scrutiny at all began to spread in Xianyang City.

No one knows where or what people are saying this news from, and it seems that it began to circulate in the streets and alleys of Xianyang City overnight, and as the relief team from Guanzhong went north, it quickly spread to the counties outside Guanwai.

Most of the wealthy families in Xianyang initially smiled when they heard such an unreliable gossip, what is the identity of His Majesty the Emperor? Even if you care about the people in the flooded land, it is impossible to travel thousands of miles for the sake of the people affected by the disaster in the three counties at this time, right?

What's more, what's the most important thing these days?

It's disaster relief, it's disaster relief!

The imperial court dispatched hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians to the north for disaster relief, and deployed a large number of food and materials to almost block the Qinyan Qichi Road in the north of Xianyang.

When the emperor went out on patrol, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of troops accompanying him. Just say that those county officials who passed along the way, if the emperor really went north to patrol, I am afraid that they would no longer think about how to prepare materials to rescue the affected people who were in urgent need of rescue, but would spend all their minds on how to greet the emperor and how to please the emperor.

After all, compared to those ordinary people who have nothing to do with their future, the emperor is in control of the net worth of all of them, right?

So. After hearing this gossip, not to mention the nobles of the court, even some knowledgeable ordinary people knew that there must be someone who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to release some rumors to make trouble.

After all, have there been fewer rumors in Xianyang City in recent years?

But things are often unexpected.

In the next few days, the news that the emperor was about to go north for a tour was not only not forbidden by the imperial court, but also intensified. None of the ministries including the Cabinet Office has come forward to stop these rumors or refute them.

Although the method adopted by the imperial court is no different from the past, this time it is different, this news involves the emperor!

And so it goes. Even the wealthy families who began to think that it was absolutely impossible could not make up their minds. Think of the past of the current Emperor II. It seems that this is really possible.

The news is still spreading, no matter whether the emperor goes out on patrol or not, at least the people outside the gate who are really relieving the disaster or waiting for the disaster relief are all happy to hear the news!

What was the time when the Imperial Court would have acted so quickly? Not to mention the kings of various countries, even the ministers of the DPRK and the central government rarely went to the disaster site in person, didn't it? The Son of Heaven deserves to be the Son of Heaven for all!

And the officials who participated in the disaster relief. When he heard the news, he reined in his mind. Don't dare to have any slackness. A year ago, the emperor killed dozens of county officials, and the incident is still vivid. The blood on the butcher's knife hasn't gone yet.

If the emperor really goes north to patrol, then once he is caught by the emperor, I am afraid that his head will fall to the ground immediately!

There has been no news from the DPRK and China. There was neither an edict of the emperor to go on patrol, nor an edict of the emperor not to go on patrol. It's confusing. Disaster relief continues!

……

After nearly half a month of continuous heavy precipitation in Guanzhong and Shanxi counties, the rain finally dissipated, and the long-lost sun began to spit out light and heat desperately as soon as it appeared, and the scorching sun in July seemed to be able to roast people.

After the first emperor unified the world, he adopted Li Si's suggestion and began to clean up the world's road traffic. The specific implementation was surveyed and carried out by Zheng Guolai, the current secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Land transportation, Jiuyuan Straight Road is a more than 1,000-mile avenue built to resist the Xiongnu, from Xianyang to Jiuyuan; In addition to the Jiuyuan Straight Road, there are four gallop roads that connect the east and west of Daqin, north and south, namely the east-west direction of Xianyang to Hangu Pass, the Qinyan Qi Chi Road of Hangu Pass to Yanqi, the Qin-Wuyue Chi Road of Hangu Pass to Wuyue and the Qin-Chu-Yue Chi Road of Hangu Pass to the counties of the South China Sea, this Chi Road is also known as Yangyue (Yue) New Road in the south of Wuling.

In addition to the above five main roads, there are also 12 official roads that connect the counties of Guanzhong and connect all parts of the world with the inner history county. These twelve official roads are centered on Neishi County, leading to the land of the eight counties of the old Qin's homeland.

Under this, in order to better connect the counties of the world, under the auspices of Zheng Guo, according to the statistics of the official roads of the original Shandong countries, 396 county official roads were surveyed, and these 396 county official roads are the most important passages in addition to the four main galloping roads connecting the east, west, north and south of Daqin, and they are also the main channels for connecting the counties.

After all, although the Chi Road is wide, but the counties and counties it passes through are limited after all, not to mention the vast territory of Daqin, how many mountains and mountains, the Chi Road is like a few aorta in the human body, and these more than 390 official roads connecting various counties and counties are small but not missing meridians in the human body.

Out of the Hangu Pass to Shangdang, Taiyuan, and there is no gallop road connection. The only way to go north is Qin Yan Qi Chi Road, but you must first take the county official road to Handan, before you can officially set foot on the starting point of Qin Yan Qi Chi Road, and then go all the way north to Ji County in Guangyang County, and then turn back to the southeast all the way south to Linzi in Qidi.

And Shangdang, Taiyuan, Julu three counties, are in the upper right corner of Hangu Pass, if you must take Qinyan Qichi Road, not only to spare a large circle of distance, but also to Julu after there is a detour to the west, and then to the southwest to Taiyuan, Shangdang.

Therefore, in order to send materials and personnel to the two counties of Shangdang and Taiyuan, which were the most severely affected by the disaster, as soon as possible, the only way to go is the official roads of the counties and counties where the condition of these roads is much worse than that of Chidao. When Hu Hai returned from his eastern tour, he took the passage of Dongjun and Xue County to enter Hangu Pass, which was actually the official road of the county.

On the official road of the county connecting the county of Shangdang in the east of the river, the cars are sparkling and the horses are Xiaoxiao.

This official road is the nearest county official road to Shangdang, and the 120,000 county soldiers who set off from Xianyang and a large number of food, medicinal materials, tents and other materials must and can only take this county official road to reach Shangdang County as soon as possible after leaving Hangu Pass.

In addition to the endless stream of chariots, horses, and soldiers on the official road, there are many ragged and unkempt homeless people begging along the road. And in the wilderness on both sides of the official road, there are many refugees who help the old and the young.

Dozens of knights rumbled from the wilderness behind the left side of the official road, and the leading green-shirted knight seemed to have noticed a large number of refugees gathered in the wilderness, raised his arm lightly, and a group of galloping knights restrained their horses under their crotches one after another, and followed closely behind the leading green-shirted knight to ride their horses.

The county soldiers who were marching on the official road all applauded Ji Zhan's equestrian skills when they saw this.

Great Qin Shangwu, not to mention these county soldiers who had just been trained for more than ten days and were pulled out to participate in disaster relief. You must know that the first lesson they learned when they entered the camp was for the instructor team to perform a colorful horse and foot combat drill.

The horsemanship of the dozens of knights in the wilderness, from the point of view of those of them who had not yet touched the horses, was not much better than their team of instructors. You must know that their instructors are all Ji Rui from the Emperor's pro-army Tiger Army!

Before the applause fell, a knight wearing the armor of the Tiger Army rushed from the front of the official road, and the winged black tiger on his chest shone in the sun! The knights galloped in, and the begging homeless people on both sides of the official road took refuge!

However, this knight was not afraid at all, and the war horse under his crotch was worn flexibly in the not too dense crowd like a butterfly flying among the flowers, but he was not rubbed alone!

When he ran to the edge of the official road of the county magistrate, a homeless man flashed just now, and a small child suddenly appeared in front of the horse's head, and this child was hiding behind the adult because of his small body, so that the knight had not noticed it before, and when he found out, it was no longer in a hurry to turn the horse's head! The boy seemed to be frightened by the horses rushing behind him, and stood stunned on the path that the knight had to pass, not knowing how to dodge.

There was a sudden exclamation on the official road!

If this child were to be hit by this warhorse, he would no longer have a reason to live.

Say it's too late, then it's too soon!

I saw that the knight on the horse clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly at the last moment, and then suddenly lifted the reins of the horse.

"Aang!"

The war horse neighed in pain, and the man stood up. The knight on horseback stared at him, and with a muffled cry, he moved the horse three feet in place, and then the horse's hooves fell heavily, smashing the wet mud into two deep pits!

Seeing the horse's hooves that had sunk a few inches into the earth, everyone couldn't help but gasp, if they bumped into that child just now, they would definitely have no reason to live!

"Wow!"

The child seemed to wake up at this time, and opened his mouth and began to cry!

"Instructor! Good! ”

A group of county guards and homeless people who were carrying their hearts came back to their senses, and suddenly burst out in unison!

Immediately, the knight seemed to be frightened, touched the cold sweat on his face, jumped off the horse, felt something from his arms, hugged the child and coaxed him warmly. Soon the child burst into tears and laughed.

When the child's family graciously picked up the child, the knight's face changed instantly!

"What are you making a fuss about? Want to eat whips? Don't hurry up. The brothers from Sanchuan County have already arrived in Shangdang, and I don't know how many people have been saved, according to your current speed, I am afraid that when it comes, you will have to return to Xianyang in disgrace! His Majesty the Emperor is looking at us in Xianyang, you can afford to lose people, but I can't afford to lose this person! ”

Immediately the knight said and took off the iron helmet on his head, and shouted with a stiff face! (To be continued......)
