Chapter 400: The First Chaos

When the barren granary in Jinju was opened, Qian Tongshi, Zhang Duan and others looked at the empty granary in disbelief, so clean that they couldn't even see a grain of mouse droppings, which showed that no grain had ever been moved in here.

Is the number of grain prepared for the state government reported by the Jinju government every year just a number? The records of the government participate in the military, and supervise and record the annual preparation of grain; Every year, each province and state will also send officials to each other to check the amount of grain in stock; Every three years, officials from the household department also go down to various provinces and prefectures to supervise the situation of grain shortages.

These conditions are reported to the Hanoi Provincial Observation Embassy and the Ministry of Household Affairs every year, and until then, these conditions have been normal. The increasing reserves of the reserve of the wasteland year by year and the conscientiousness of the officials guarding the grain reserve are all visible.

Therefore, Jiang Chenghai of Jingzhao thought that the food prepared by Hanoi Province could be used to relieve temporary disasters. However, who would have thought that these situations are all illusions! The preparation of grain involves the three layers of officials of the household department, the prefectures, and the government office, and there are multiple links in the middle, from top to bottom, and they must be connected in order to create such an illusion!

In other words, these officials, from top to bottom, are all complicit, corrupt or corrupt, hidden or hidden, for the sake of nothing more than money and power!

From Zheng Duo's intermittent confession, Qian Tongshi and others learned that the tens of thousands of grains that should have been piled up in the barren granary had long been sold out by these officials and exchanged for a large amount of money. This money was used by them to dredge up official positions, and it was basically squandered.

Now, in these three places, there is no food for famine, and there is no money and silver for disaster relief, so what should the people in these three places do? Without these grains, what will happen to the great drought in Hanoi Province?

There is no food to save lives, so what will become of Hanoi Province?

Qian Tongshi didn't dare to think about it anymore, this matter was completely beyond the scope of what he could predict, and he could only plan for the worst for what was about to happen in Hanoi Dao.

Now, how to deal with Zheng Duo and other officials. It is no longer the most important thing, but the most important thing now is to find a way to fill in the granary and stabilize the situation in Hanoi. If the people of these three places knew that there was not a single grain of food left for the famine, there would have been riots. The situation will get out of hand.

Qian Tongshi didn't even have time to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. Urgent orders were quickly issued, estimating the situation in Hanoi Province and hoping to turn the tide.

Troop transfer! Send people as fast as you can. Tell the truth about the preparation of the famine grain to the Hanoi Wei General Gu Dacun, and ask him to immediately bring the Hanoi Wei soldiers to Henan, Ezhou, and Jinzhou to prevent civil unrest;

Borrow food! Qian Tongshi sent an urgent document to the Jiangnan Provincial Observation Envoy Wang, and borrowed 20,000 quintals of grain from Jiangnan Province, Jiangnan Province is rich and abundant, known as the granary of Dayong, and lending 20,000 quintals of grain should not be a problem, but I don't know if it can be transported in time;

Levy! In the name of the government. With the current price and strong means, all the grain in the rice shops in these three places was collected, and the government managed it in a unified manner, so as to cope with the immediate crisis;

Report the disaster! The real situation of the shortage of grain and the critical situation in Hanoi Province will be reported to Jingzhao as soon as possible. Asking for the help and support of the imperial court also made the imperial court prepared.

There are many more decrees issued from the Henan government......

Qian Tongshi sat directly in the Henan Mansion, waiting for Gu Dacun to come with his troops, and also waiting for the development of the situation. He is to stay here to prevent possible unrest. The soldiers of the Henan Mansion were all ready.

"Everything that can be done, has been done. I hope things won't be so bad, I hope the food in Gangnam Province will be in time, I hope everything will be in time, God bless God bless......" Qian Tongshi muttered, with fear and uncertainty in his tone that he couldn't even detect.

At this moment, he is not the cunning Hongluqing who was as cunning as a fox back then, but a sincere observer of Hanoi Province.

However, the heavens did not hear his prayers, and his worst fears finally happened.

On August 12, three days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the people in Henan finally knew that the food they had been waiting for to save their lives had already been squandered by the government officials! Now those granaries that are preparing for the desert are all empty, and the opening of the warehouse for disaster relief by the imperial court is all nonsense, which is used to deceive them!

The government did not prepare food for them, which is to make them wait for death slowly!

Three or four months of anxiety and hunger have filled these poor people with hatred for the Henan Mansion, and even many people have gathered in front of the Henan Mansion with wooden sticks, hoes and other things.

At this time, the soldiers of Hanoi Wei had not yet arrived, and Jiang Nanwei's grain had not yet arrived, and I don't know who leaked out the matter of preparing the shortage of grain.

"Fellow fathers, fellow villagers! And listen to what the official said, the food is already on the way, and everyone only needs to wait a few days. The official promised that he would open a position for disaster relief! The official has collected all the grain in Henan, and now it is being counted, and tomorrow, tomorrow will be disaster relief......"

Qian Tongshi yelled vigorously, trying to convince the people that the government would definitely have food to distribute to them, and they only had to wait a few days.

"He's a liar! The families of those rice merchants fought desperately, and the government did not collect food at all! ”

"The court just wants us to die! Henan has no shortage of grain at all! ”

"These corrupt officials and corrupt officials are all them, if they hadn't resold the grain for the waste! We could have had our stomachs full! ”

The people gathered in front of the government were shouting one by one, and they didn't believe what Qian Tongshi said.

I don't know if someone instigated it, or if the people really thought so. The atmosphere in front of the government office became more and more tense, and more and more people gathered around the government office, seeing that the conflict was about to occur.

"Hey, what's this?" Suddenly, someone among the people pointed to the stone lion in front of the government and asked, there were a few grasshoppers on it, they were shaking their wings and crunching.

"Ah, there's one too!" Some people pointed to the stone steps in front of the government and said, "There were just a few grasshoppers on it."

Qian Tongshi, Zhang Duan and the others looked at the people's fingers, and when they saw these grasshoppers, they almost couldn't stand on their feet! Grasshoppers, locusts, drought plagues, locust plagues, have they appeared?

"Ahh What is that! "Qian Tongshi didn't have time to have more ideas. And there was a cry of terror among the people. Where their eyes were, it was a black pressure from far and near, and with the sound of "buzzing" and flying, the locusts in the sky actually appeared.

These locusts are coming all over the world, covering the sky and the sun. It makes the day and night in Henan. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them and didn't know how to react.

Qian Tongshi and Zhang Duan stumbled a few steps. The heart is as sorrowful as death!

At this time, when the people of Henan knew that there was no shortage of grain, these locusts appeared. Do you really want to put the people of Hanoi to death?

Qian Tongshi felt that the situation in Hanoi Province was as dark as the sky covered by locusts, so dark that he could not see anything.

On August 12, a large locust appeared in Henan, and the grass and trees were all over the place where the locusts passed. The cows, horses, hair, and flags are all gone, and the area around Henan is full of bare misery!

The weather of drought and locusts appeared in the Henan area, which destroyed almost all the vitality of the people of Henan and became the direct source of the rebellion of the people of Henan.

The great drought and natural disasters have left all the food for the famine. The corruption of the officials, as well as this terrible locust plague, ignited the anger of the people of Henan and inspired the despair in their hearts. It's rioting!

"Rather than wait to die! It's better to rush directly into the government and grab their food! After the locust plague, among the ragged people, some people raised their arms and shouted like this, which made the sluggish people boil in an instant.

They are already desperate, and at this time, someone said such a thing, which is equivalent to pointing them the way, whether it is wrong or right, there is always a way to go.

"That's right! Even if you die, you have to be a full ghost! Someone else shouted. This sentence seems to be an instruction, and the people of Henan who heard this sentence picked up the wooden sticks and hoes in their hands and rushed towards the Henan Mansion like a tide.

The power of the explosion of the hungry and angry people was unimaginable, even if they only had wooden sticks and hoes in their hands, they broke through the defense line of the soldiers with big swords in their hands, and rushed into the palace where Qian Tongshi was located, smashing things and snatching food when they saw them......

More and more displaced people and disaster victims have poured into the Henan government and rice shops and shops in Henan; The bandits who were originally hiding also took advantage of the chaos and used their swords to occupy more territory; Seeing such a situation, some fierce soldiers of the government simply turned their guns, and under the banner of asking for the people's lives, they slashed and killed the officials of the government office, gathered a group of people, and gathered a group of people to seize power in the Henan area......

Before Gu Dacun arrived with the Hanoi guards, the situation in Henan was out of control. The angry and desperate people, under the use of bandits and fierce soldiers with ulterior motives, captured the Henan Mansion and slashed and killed the officials of the Mansion, which was equivalent to directly raising the anti-flag and confronting the Dayong Dynasty.

The area of Henan is already in chaos!

Immediately, the people of Ezhou and Jinzhou also followed the example of the people of Henan and rose up one after another, and the refugees, disaster victims, prisoners, rebels, etc. were combined to become a huge force. Although this force is made up entirely of the lowest level of the people of Dayong, it is numerous, and more and more people are joining it.

The riots in Henan, Eju, and Jinju spread to other parts of Hanoi Province in a sweeping manner, and the situation in Hanoi Province was no longer under control.

The news of the Hanoi riots soon reached Jingzhao, and the news of the death of Qian Tongshi, Zhang Duan, Huang Yi and other officials also reached the ears of Jiang Chenghai and Shen Huashan.

When they heard the news, Jiang Chenghai and Shen Huashan happened to be together, and they were discussing the disaster situation in Hanoi Province.

Qian Tongshi, Zhang Duan, Huang Yi, their old friends and subordinates, actually died?

The pen in Jiang Chenghai's hand fell and he didn't know it, his smirking face was distorted, and his eyes were instantly filled with tears, who said that men don't flick if they have tears, fuck it!

Shen Huashan clenched his fists tightly, and the awe-inspiring coldness in his eyes seemed to erupt. Hanoi Road, it turned out that Hanoi Road was the first to mess up!

ps:

One more! When a country is about to perish, there will be a catastrophe, this is an immutable law. Sure enough, pink still has to be strived for, so that there can be. It's been four hundred chapters, where is Pink? Where are the various tickets?
