Chapter 31: The Flood and the World
After the March meeting, the entire force was mobilized and moved at high speed at maximum load, only to prepare for next year.
At the meeting, Li Xiaogang thought that their big move would attract the attention of other forces and attract the attention of many people, and it did attract some, but not as much as Li Xiaogang expected.
Because Yang Guang is going to fight Goguryeo next year!
This matter is not only known to Su Qi, but also to other forces.
To start a large-scale war, to mobilize troops, to levy grain and grass, the action is so big, I don't know what a ghost is.
The eyes of the bigwigs are all focused on Yang Guang's war against Goguryeo, who still has the air to care about the in this little mess of Ruyin County?
Yang Guanghui launched this war, firstly, because the Sui army had almost fought all the foreign races around it, and all those who could fight were only Goguryeo.
I don't have to fight my opponent, who is not going to fight this fight?
And there are historical reasons for this, during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, this small country was very skinny, and Emperor Wen of Sui sent an army of 300,000 to clean it up, but God did not make it beautiful, and failed!
Yang Guang wanted to surpass Emperor Wen of Sui, and of course he would not let go of Goguryeo.
What he failed to do, and he did it, isn't he more awesome than his Lao Tzu?
Yang Guang wants to prove to the world: I, Yang Guang, awesome!
The second is to use this war to weaken the power of the family gate lords in China.
Yang Guang moved the capital and opened the canal, in fact, there was a reason to wrestle with the power of the family gate.
The power of the family gate valve is too strong, not weakened, is the surname Yang in this world, or the surname Dugu, the surname Li, the surname Yuwen, and the surname Song?
And the power of the family gate lords is not only in the court, their strength in the martial arts is even stronger than that of the royal family.
This made Yang Guang sleepless!
If you don't get rid of it, you can't eat, you can't sleep well, this war to conquer Goguryeo is the method that Yang Guang came up with to target the family gate.
What Yang Guang can think of, the family gate valve can also think of, no one is stupid.
Yang Guang wanted to take advantage of the conquest of Goguryeo to cut the family gate valve, and it just so happened that the family gate valve also wanted to take this opportunity to drag Yang Guang off the horse.
As for whether the world is chaotic or not, and whether the people are dead or not, they don't care.
The world is in chaos, and the family gate valve will still be happy in his heart, so he can drive the surnamed Yang down and take the position himself.
Yang Guang and the family gate valve are like two chess players playing chess, to see who is more shrewd and who can have the last laugh.
Judging from the results, Yang Guang lost, and he lost three times in a row!
Therefore, the bigwigs are very busy now, no one cares about the little here in Ruyin County, and people's eyes are looking at the situation in the world, and only some small forces want to take care of it, but they are not capable enough to hinder Su Qi.
In the past four months, the forces of the people and religions have flourished, training the army, hoarding grain and grass, and building walls and fortresses...... It's in full swing, anyway, with the tiger skin of the layered government, it's not a big problem.
In order to deal with the imminent flood, Su Qi sent personnel to the HN and SD areas to investigate the local situation, so as to predict the possible time and scope of the flood, and by the way, he sprinkled the Apostles of the People's Religion (the name of the spy of the People's Religion) into it, and when the flood occurred and the victims had nowhere to go, these underground workers could publicize:
"Fathers and fellow villagers, everyone is homeless now, I heard that there is a place where Ruyin County is giving soup and receiving refugees, everyone go with me!"
This kind of publicity will definitely bring more victims to Ruyin County.
Since the beginning of June, the weather in the Yellow River Basin, such as HN and SD, has been abnormal, and large-scale rainfall has occurred for a long time.
At first, it did not arouse people's vigilance, as the rain became longer and longer, people were a little panicked, such a heavy rain, if it rained for a long time, once the Yellow River flooded, the place to be flooded would be very terrifying.
By the middle of June, the rain was still falling, and there was no intention of stopping, and disasters had begun to occur one after another in various places, but it was a pity that Yang Guang was now determined to gather a large army to conquer Goguryeo.
In fact, it can't be said that Yang Guang is wrong, thinking that human life is not valuable, because the class is different, the way he thinks about problems is different, and the goals he wants to pursue are also different (so I don't mean to belittle Yang Guang, what he did, in fact, Li Shimin did it later).
He is the emperor, not the head of Qian, what he thinks about is how to stabilize his country!
In Yang Guang's view, as long as he wins Goguryeo and weakens the family gate, nothing else is a problem, not just a flood and a few more Qiantou deaths, and it is not that he has never died.
Therefore, the location is different, the goal to be achieved is different, Yang Guang didn't want to care about these flood emergency documents at all, and continued to transfer the country's troops to Zhuozhou to assemble, and requisitioned people to transport military food.
After receiving the news of the incessant heavy rain in HN, SD and other areas, Su Qijun immediately convened an emergency meeting and made the following instructions at the meeting:
The heavy rain in the HN and SD areas will inevitably cause floods, and the scale of the flood is so large that it affects a wide range of people, which is really rare, and all departments of human education need to prepare in advance (equipment transfer, personnel placement, etc., I will not write in detail).
The rivers and ditches in Ruyin County have not yet been dredged, and all the time should be seized to dredge them, and the flood control measures in various places will be inspected again.
After the floods, there will be a large influx of victims from the HN and SD areas into Yeuyin County, and it is necessary to prepare food, clothing, and medicines, and organize manpower to prepare for receiving the victims.
This was a rough arrangement on the surface, and after that, Su Qi held another meeting within the Renjiao, and under the wise leadership of the Su Sect Master, the meeting made a decision to let the Renjiao apostles guide the victims to Ruyin County.
In the seventh year of the great cause, the third day of the seventh lunar month, autumn!
(I didn't find out the specific time, but I only saw this sentence "In autumn, the big water, SD and HN drifted in more than 30 counties, and the people were sold as slaves.") "Book of Sui: Emperor Yang Ji", after reading it, the Great Sui is really full of disasters and difficulties)
Under the continuous rain, the flood finally broke out, the water level of the main channel of the Yellow River soared, and its tributaries can be imagined, and the surging flood quickly washed away the flood control fortifications everywhere, spread to the earth, flooded the city and villages, washed away farmland and houses, and created countless homeless victims.
At this time, Yang Guang did not personally say anything about disaster relief, did not even order the local governments to release the national reserve for disaster relief, nor did he use Yicang, or even mention the exemption, but asked the counties in the HN and SD regions to provide hundreds of thousands of people to transport grain for the conquest of Goguryeo (the content here is from a film review, please point out the mistake).
Su Qi stood outside the house, looking at the gloomy sky with light rain, and just sighed lightly: "Since this flood, the world has been in chaos!" ”
PS: Haha, the update is over, and you can finally go to watch the RNG game, RNG, awesome!
