As of today, it's the seventh day of the disaster!

Judging from the news received by the imperial court, the 20,000 Vermilion Bird Army, 50,000 Xuanwu Army, and 150,000 Jiangdong soldiers stationed in Julu and Handan had turned into five roads in less than three days after receiving the edict from Longwei Mansion, and had entered the boundaries of Taiyuan and Shangdang counties respectively.

Of course, the reason why they acted so fast is mainly because these four counties are basically adjacent to each other, Taiyuan County is close to Zhongjulu County, and Handan County is next to Shangdang County!

However, being able to mobilize nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians so quickly into the two hardest-hit counties of Taiyuan and Shangdang, Julu County can be said to have contributed a lot.

From the fact that Julu even governed the county and Julu City was poured into the mainland, it can be imagined that the disaster situation of Julu is actually not much worse than that of Taiyuan and Shangdang counties.

It was under such circumstances that Pang Ai, the 20,000 Vermilion Bird Army stationed in Julu, not only stayed to help the flood in his own Julu County, but took the initiative to send it to Taiyuan County, which was more in need of rescue, and I have to say that Pang Ai's political consciousness is still very high.

This sudden flood is different from the drought in the first year of the second year, so at least the drought can't kill people, right? The food is gone, and the court still has a lot of food, but this sudden flood will inevitably cause a large number of people to die.

It's July, just after the floods, the sun is out, and the temperature is rising sharply!

On the one hand, it has indeed facilitated disaster relief, but on the other hand, it has also faintly exacerbated the disaster. Because if the people who drowned in the flood could not be cleaned and cremated, then in such a hot and humid environment, I am afraid that it would rot in a day or two.

Once there is a large-scale decomposition of corpses in the flooded area, if it is not handled properly, then it is very likely that there will be a large-scale plague in the counties of Taiyuan and Shangdang.

With Daqin's conditions at the moment, the flood made Daqin a little uncomfortable at most, and it didn't hurt his muscles and bones; But once there is really a plague, I am afraid that Daqin will not only be as simple as breaking the muscles and bones.

The outbreak of plague in Taiyuan and Shangdang counties was what Hu Hai was most worried about.

It has only been more than 20 years since Great Qin unified the world, and he obviously has no experience in dealing with large-scale floods, let alone preventing plagues in advance, which is also the main reason why he resolutely went north despite the opposition of the five important ministers in the cabinet.

After all, the plague was not recorded in the historical materials of Great Qin at all, let alone found an experience that could be used for reference. The only thing that can be used is that Hu Hai himself uses his own experience from later generations to deal with it.

Fortunately, Pang Ai, the Vermilion Bird Army and the Xuanwu Army did not disappoint Hu Hai. There was no situation in which everyone swept the snow in front of their own doors, and there was no phenomenon of the disaster relief army slacking off.

This should be regarded as the best news Hu Hai heard after leaving Xianyang.

It's just that, looking at the endless stream of refugees on both sides of the official road, what surprised Hu Hai was whether this refugee was from Hedong County or Shangdang County? In front of it is Pingyin County, Hedong County, and the cabinet has already written to all counties at the beginning of the deployment of disaster relief, once it is found that there are refugees who have fled, each county must be properly resettled, and the refugees cannot be allowed to wander in the counties of Daqin.

This is the way to prevent the emergence of a plague that has not yet spread in the center of the floods.

The first few days were fine, although Hedong also suffered heavy precipitation, but because the Yellow River broke its embankment from Wu County and was diverted, there was no major flooding, at most some unstable houses were washed away and collapsed by heavy rain.

But today, just after Zuoyi County in Hedong (near Yuncheng in Shanxi in later generations), Pingyang County (near Linfen, Shanxi in later generations), which is close to the Yellow River in Hedong County, is no more than 100 miles ahead, but it is the first time that a large-scale refugee has appeared.

Judging from this scale, it seems that this is only the first wave, and there must be a larger number of refugees moving south.

What made Hu Hai wonder was whether the refugees were the affected people of Pingyang County or the people of Shangdang who had traveled all the way south from Shangdang to Hedong County. If it is the people of Binh Duong, why did the official document submitted by Ha Dong to the cabinet not mention the flood in Binh Duong? Could it be that Hedong County concealed the report?

However, Hu Hai immediately vetoed his speculation, the Hedong county guard would never dare to lie to the court and conceal it from the court on such a major matter, not to mention that it was not only a county in Hedong that suffered from the flood, but the court had never said that it would punish the county officials in the matter of the flood.

Then, the only explanation can only be that these refugees entered the territory of Hedong from Shangdang!

"Childe, I'm going to have people drive these people away!?"

Seeing that the emperor didn't know what he was thinking about for a while, and the large group of refugees who were begging were getting closer and closer, there were only more than twenty steps, Long Yu had to whisper behind Hu Hai for instructions.

Long Yu's words suddenly interrupted Hu Hai's contemplation.

"Give all the food you bring with you to these refugees." Hu Hai looked at the frightened people one by one and said in a deep voice. After saying this, Hu Hai stopped talking, but stared at the county guard Changlong who was moving forward on the official road, not knowing what he was thinking.

Since Hu Hai spoke, Long Yu naturally did it immediately. Soon, dozens of guards from the Longwei Mansion dismounted one after another to distribute the dry food and other items they were carrying to the people who had not yet gathered.

Fortunately, the guards of the Longwei Mansion were not easy to mess with at first glance, and the people did not rob when they saw the food.

"Where is this brother from?" Hu Hai stared at the team of county guards for a while, turned over and dismounted and walked to a middle-aged man who was gobbling up, and asked with a smile.

"Uh...... I don't know if it was because the middle-aged man was too hungry or because he was too focused on eating, so he swallowed it.

Hu Hai's face changed: "Water! ”

Long Bing, who was following him, heard Hu Hai's words and hurriedly handed the water bladder on his body to Hu Hai.

Seeing that the water bladder in Hu Hai's hand had been swallowed, his eyes were a little white, and his face was flushed, as if he saw a life-saving straw, he snatched the water bladder in Hu Hai's hand and poured it down.

"You ......"

Long Xue, who was dressed as a man with Hu Hai's hand, didn't expect this person to be rude and said coquettishly.

Hu Hai stretched out his hand to interrupt Long Xue's words, and smiled as he watched the middle-aged man spoil all the water in the water bladder.

"Hah!" With the clear water, I saw that the raised lump in the throat of the middle-aged man finally went down smoothly, and he breathed the air that he had not seen for a long time, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Childe! Thank you, Childe! The middle-aged man walked away from the ghost gate, and naturally understood that if Hu Hai hadn't given him this clear water just now, he was afraid that he would have died.

"It's okay! Where is this brother from? Hu Hai waved his hand and said with a smile.

"Hui Gongzi, the villain is the Shangdang Tongba (later generations of Qin County, Shanxi)!" The middle-aged man naturally knew that the food in the hands of the others was given by the young man with a hat in front of him, not to mention that he had just saved his life, and he knew everything at this moment!
