Chapter 110: Who's More Unlucky?

The person in charge of disaster relief has still been decided, that is, Huang Kezhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who is a non-party official and is quite a panacea.

In addition, although Huang Kezan also has a lot of property, which is no different from other officials accepting land contributions, he is relatively honest as an official.

The most important thing is that this kind of disaster relief money will be embezzled, and generally only the Donglin Party has such courage. After all, as an interest group, the Donglin Party naturally wants to rise up with various interests, and then some positions will be instigated to embezzle.

Because Huang Kezhang has no party affiliation, he will not be affected by this phenomenon.

So Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned Huang Kezan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the relationship between Huang Kezan and the Donglin Party at this time gradually deteriorated, and Wei Zhongxian regarded him as an official who could be wooed.

Hearing that the emperor was going to send himself to disaster relief, Huang Kezan gladly accepted the task.

Giving relief to the victims is a matter of good fortune! Unless Huang Kezan is stupid, he will not let go of such a good thing. The education of the imperial city temple in the Ming Dynasty was very prosperous, and the things of merit, fate, cause and effect, and reincarnation were not only believed in by the common people, but also by the officials who read the books of the sages. It's just that because these people have a higher culture, they don't blindly believe in some things and have enough judgment ability.

Soon Huang Kezhang went with a silver ticket for disaster relief, and the silver ticket number of the Daming Royal Bank can also be used in Shanxi. At the same time, in the process of disaster relief, Royal Capital will provide personnel assistance and material resources.

After Huang Kezan hit the road, he first used a post station to send a silver ticket to the disaster area for 800 miles, first bought some grain, and then set up a porridge shack, and at the same time ordered the local government to collect and bury the bodies of the dead and rescue the wounded. Good disaster relief results were achieved immediately.

After the porridge shack was set up, the people in the affected areas did not starve to death. The local government also transferred manpower and buried the corpses as ordered to avoid the outbreak of the plague as much as possible.

It wasn't until Huang Kezhang arrived at the disaster area that the situation basically stabilized. It was the reconstruction of the victims and the livelihood of the victims that became a problem. So Huang Kezhang followed the method that Zhu Youxiao thought of, and immediately posted a list in the local area to recruit workers and provide relief through work.

At the same time, the dikes on both sides of the Yellow River were surveyed, because the Yellow River burst, forming a new channel, and it was obvious that the dikes were to be built here. Therefore, it is called the first construction site to start.

Two million yuan is a lot, which is enough for the people in the disaster area to obtain sufficient resources for survival. But to say less is also too little, for the management of the Yellow River, it is simply a drop in the bucket.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao announced that he would take out 2.3 million yuan from the internal treasury to help the victims and strengthen the Yellow River embankment, and at the same time, Zhu Youxiao called on the whole country to donate money for disaster relief.

After this news was reported, it immediately aroused an enthusiastic response. All walks of life immediately praised it, and the people who went to the branches of the "Daming Daily" to donate money immediately came in an endless stream under word of mouth.

Most of the donors are ordinary people, although they don't have much money, they are willing to donate some, after all, it is a matter of accumulating merit. But those wealthy classes have shown a strict differentiation.

When many wealthy merchants and landlords heard that the Yellow River had breached, the emperor took the lead in contributing 2.3 million yuan for disaster relief, and also donated a lot of silver, and some even donated a few percent of their family property. At the same time, when more businessmen and landlords heard the news, they were indifferent and indifferent.

This phenomenon fully manifests the confusion of thought.

Some businessmen and landlords are still very good in moral character, and they are thrifty and charitable on weekdays. More often than not, they are greedy and selfish.

After raising donations, more than 500,000 taels of silver were raised, and then they were also invested in relief to help the post-disaster reconstruction of the affected areas.

Because the speed of the disaster relief was fast enough, and the funds mobilized were sufficient, the disaster relief effect was very good. Hundreds of thousands of people affected by the disaster have been properly resettled. At the same time, the focus was on repairing the Yellow River embankment, which has hidden dangers, to reduce the risk of embankment failure and breaching.

"Daming Daily" continued to report on the disaster relief process, which increased the sales of the newspaper a lot. This kind of follow-up report is very rare in those hand-copied newspapers.

With its rich content, Daming Daily is rapidly expanding its influence, and its circulation is becoming more and more terrifying with the laying of sales channels.

In the autumn of the first year of the Apocalypse, it was clearly not calm.

As soon as the Yellow River broke here, Sichuan was already fighting. On August 28, Tusi Xuan Chongming officially rebelled and laid siege to Chongqing.

After receiving the report of the eight hundred miles urgently, Zhu Youxiao, who knew the cause and effect, couldn't help crying and laughing, the powder keg of luxury Chongming turned out to be the holy decree that detonated Xu Keqiu's down.

Xu Keqiu, the governor of Sichuan (the one in the red pill case is Li Kezhuo, it seems that someone is stupid and can't tell the difference) received the holy decree, his brain was incomprehensible, and at the same time he firmly believed that Yu Chongming would not rebel. Therefore, he ignored the request for dismissal written in the holy decree, and wanted to send Hao Chongming away before leaving his post, so as to prove to the emperor that there was nothing wrong with his views.

As a result, Xu Keqiu took a group of officials from Chongqing out of the city to watch the martial arts performance of the Tusi soldiers of Luxury Chongming, and directly served a pot to Luxury Chongming, and all of them were cut off by Luxury Chongming on the spot.

Now it's good, there are more than 20 officials who have been served in one pot, most of them are Sichuan provincial officials, and the provincial-level administrative units are directly half-disabled.

Xu Keqiu This guy is also unlucky enough, obviously he deserves this catastrophe.

Fortunately, the new governor Zhu Xieyuan was in Chengdu and was not taken outside the city by Xu Keqiu to watch any martial arts.

Hao Chongming rebelled against the officials, and then immediately besieged Chongqing. At this time, Yu Chongming is determined to win Chongqing and is full of confidence.

But there are still tens of thousands of officers and soldiers led by Qin Liangyu in the city! Naturally, Yu Chongming is not a fool. But don't forget, Qin Liangyu is also a toast.

After killing Xu Keqiu and a group of stupid pigs, he sent an envoy to Qin Liangyu in the city, as long as Qin Liangyu promised to open the city gate and surrender to him, he said that the emperor was willing to crown Qin Liangyu as the king, and he could also sit on an equal footing to conspire to hegemony.

In order to win Qin Liangyu, Yu Chongming offered a lot of money.

Expectedly, Qin Liangyu should also gladly accept the conditions, then open the city gate, and then conquer all parts of Sichuan together, and then rely on the steep geographical conditions of Sichuan to form a country of its own in Sichuan.

The envoy entered the city, and Yu Chongming was still obscene, and soon Qin Liangyu would be ecstatic to open the door and surrender! At that time, with the cooperation of Qin Liangyu's stone pillar Tusi soldiers, it will not be easy to capture the whole of Sichuan?

Qin Liangyu, who had already been deployed in Chongqing City, met with the envoy of Luxury Chongming, and when he heard the envoy's intention, he was furious on the spot and shouted: "Luxury Chongming, this traitor, dares to be so rampant, come and drag this guy down and behead him." ”

"Yes, sir." The left and right immediately came out of the ranks, and the envoy of extravagant Chongming was so frightened that he trembled like chaff, and hurriedly shouted: "If the two countries are at war, they can't kill me!" You can't kill me! ”

"Jokes, you and other traitors, dare to call it a country? Today, the official will take your head. Qin Liangyu's face was grim, his palm slapped on the case, and he suddenly dragged out the messenger sent by Yu Chongming left and right, only to hear a click, and a bloody head was brought in.

Qin Liangyu knew that this envoy could never be kept. After all, Gao Chongming is a thief, and if he treats the messenger well, he is very easy to be impeached.

As a woman, Qin Liangyu does not have the ambition and illusion of power that Chongming has the ambition to dominate the industry. The thing of emperor hegemony also depends on whether there is that kind of life. In ancient times, everyone would find a gentleman to count the eight characters, Ziwei Dou or something, not all fortune tellers are indiscriminate, many will still analyze numerology for customers, and it can also make people understand a lot of life truths. This is a common culture, and even the rural farmers have some common sense of numerology.

It is very normal for an ethnic minority like Luxury Chongming not to know the mandate of heaven, but Qin Liangyu is a Han Chinese, and her husband Ma Qiancheng is the hereditary Tusi of Shizhu County because of his ancestors' meritorious service. As a Han Chinese, at least I know some of what kind of fate I have.

Moreover, her husband, brothers and other relatives died in the war for the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as full of loyalty, how could she give up the name that her relatives exchanged their lives for these unrealistic things?

Then Qin Liangyu came to the city wall and threw the head off the city wall with his own hands to show his determination.

Where did Yu Chongming think that this would be the result, it was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and he looked constipated on the spot, and then roared madly: "How is it possible, is Qin Liangyu a fool?" As long as she reverses this broken court, won't glory and wealth be at her fingertips? ”

"Dad, I think it's better to send someone to talk to Qin Liangyu again?" Hao Yin said with some concern, Qin Liangyu is unwilling to rebel, then the problem is very tricky.

Annoyed and angry, Yu Chongming said viciously: "What else to talk about, immediately capture Chongqing for the emperor, and when the city is broken, I will be the first to take Qin Liangyu's head." ”

Under the order of Yu Chongming, the 20,000 Li Tusi soldiers quickly took action. However, what Yu Chongming didn't know was that after two months of marching, the Fourth Infantry Division of Jingying had already reached the boundary of Chongqing, which was only more than 100 miles away from Chongqing. Ding Maoxin, commander of the Fourth Infantry Division, had just arrived in Chongqing and immediately received the news of the rebellion of Yu Chongming.

"The Son of Heaven Shengming, extravagant Chongming really has the opposite intention." Ding Maoxin looked in the direction of Chongqing with an excited expression, and immediately laughed: "Haha, the traitor of Yu Chongming is also unlucky enough, the Holy Lord started the layout two months in advance, isn't this a stepping stone for our Fourth Infantry Division to make meritorious achievements?" "PS: The second update is here! Ask for tickets, ask for collections!
