Anyi, Shanxi (now Yuncheng)

There is a long strip-shaped lake in the southwest outside Yuncheng that is composed of a solution pond and a duck pond, which is a wild lake on weekdays, and occasionally fishermen come to fish, but in recent years, the water of the big drought lake has almost dried up to the bottom, so that there are few people around.

However, from a few days ago, the big lake was crowded with people, not a strange treasure was born, but to take refuge, this time the earth dragon turned over and affected more than a dozen states in three provinces, and Yuncheng was the center of the earthquake and suffered heavy casualties.

The losses of villages and towns outside the city cannot be counted for the time being, but nearly half of the houses in Yuncheng have collapsed, and the casualties are initially estimated to be nearly 1,000.

In this era, no matter whether there will be natural disasters or man-made disasters, the people must fight by themselves, in a simple word, rely on themselves, and then what reliable do they have, natural disasters and man-made disasters and military disasters are repeated, and the people have already run out of oil and lamps, sitting and waiting for death.

However, strange things happen every year, this year is especially many, the earthquake that occurred in the middle of the night, the whole city will be panicked and cried, the people fell into helplessness, and suddenly a large number of troops suddenly appeared in the city at dawn, which made the people even more panicked, these days to kill people to take advantage of the fire to rob......

Correct! When these people who entered the city began to devote themselves to saving the lives and helping the wounded, cleaning up the ruins, calling the people out of the city, and maintaining order in the city, the people would be stunned at first, these heavenly killers did not come to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Until noon, the people of Yuncheng are almost all concentrated in the big lake outside the city, at this time there are well-informed people finally found out why this gang of soldiers and ruffians are so abnormal, it turned out that Li Yan, the commander of the military affairs department of the Ming Army, ordered at the first time when he learned that the earthquake occurred, and the garrison troops in the earthquake area immediately invested in assisting the local yamen to fight the earthquake and provide relief, and successively issued a must-kill order, those who violated the order were killed, those who were neglected were killed, and those who robbed while the fire were killed!

No wonder, the people suddenly saw no reaction from the army when the earthquake occurred for the first time, and they behaved so positively after dawn, so it was! It's just that the army has been engaged in disaster relief work for a few years, and I haven't seen it grow so big.

Three days later, the people of Yuncheng were a little excited, because it was rumored that Li Yan, the commander of the Military Affairs Department of the Ming Army, had arrived in Yuncheng, although many people were ruined and miserable, but after hearing the news, their sadness was diluted, and they asked around about the authenticity of the news.

The rumors are true, Li Yan really arrived in Yuncheng.

To say that Li Yan had a really hard time in the past few days, he was originally in Datong and Chen Xinjia was ready to meet Chongzhen, but after an urgent letter was delivered, he immediately couldn't sit still, and while sending an eight-hundred-mile urgent letter to order the army in the earthquake area to provide disaster relief, he immediately set off towards the earthquake area, as for Chongzhen, he had already left him behind.

Needless to say, the earthquake resistance of the house in this era is not to mention, not to mention that the earthquake magnitude reached level seven, Li Yan's mood was heavy all the way from north to south, the magnitude was large, the scope was wide, the loss was heavy, and the rescue efforts were difficult! The common people of this era are really miserable.

No matter how difficult it is to save, Li Yan, who already has a compassionate heart, decided to use his greatest ability to fight against this disaster, and he believes that his existing power can also minimize the degree of disaster.

Along the way, in addition to supervising the troops in various places to save the dead and help the wounded, and moving the people to a safe area, after all, I learned from Rwan's mouth that the aftershocks had been more than ten days, and the most important task was to open warehouses and release grain, so the problem came.

Because of the independence of the Ming army, the imperial court does not supervise the army and will naturally not raise the army, all the army's salaries and military rations are paid by Rwan, the combat troops are fine, almost inseparable from Rwan, and the military camps for food and drink are well prepared, but some non-war zone garrison troops are not so convenient.

It was impossible for Rwann to run around delivering food to them, but he could not starve them, so in order to facilitate it, he often bought grain directly from the local government with silver, or advanced it from the granaries of the local government, and later repaid it by the military with silver taels or grain.

Then the problem comes again, if the local army borrows food, the local officials will not refuse, after all, the military reputation at this time is good, and the little god king is not a person who pays his debts, but if you want them to open a warehouse for disaster relief, it is another matter.

You must know what era this is, the era of no food to eat, especially in the three northwestern provinces, which are simply natural and man-made disasters, and food has become one of the biggest lifebloods

Besides, the opening of a warehouse for disaster relief also has to be ordered by the imperial court, although you Li Yan is awesome, but you will not be sent by the imperial court after all, why should I listen to you, not to mention that in many cases, even if the imperial court orders to open a warehouse for disaster relief, many local officials do not implement it at all or fake it, there are many examples of this kind in history.

So at the beginning, almost all the yamen in the earthquake area would refuse, and the reasons were sufficient, and they did not get the documents required by the imperial court to open a warehouse.

Li Yan will be a literati, but if you think that he will be a weak person, you are wrong, he is strong in martial arts, if you think he is soft-hearted, he is also wrong, in order to kill Jiang Xuan, the general soldier of Datong, he can kill more than 200 people, even Chongzhen thinks he is ruthless, do you think he will give in front of the local yamen.

No!

"You open a position, if there is something, I will hold it, if you don't open a position, I will kill you now, and the god king will hold it!" Li Yan would say this to the magistrate who was unwilling to open a position every time!

Lu Wang's name is too big, Li Yan's murderous aura is too strong, these magistrates finally relented, but they also asked Li Yan to write a certificate and seal it, proving that he would force him to open a warehouse, if the court finally agreed to open a warehouse, if he didn't agree to repay the grain, he would have to fight for him.

If you see it, you will accept it, Li Yan will also be a wise person, you really can't kill court officials at will, this is not allowed for any reason, since it can scare them into writing a certificate, as for the final compensation, it will be renegotiated.

The yamen will not be stupid, although they agree to open a warehouse to release grain, they will only open a few porridge sheds in the resettlement area, it is impossible for everyone to share a bag of rice with you, and you can't stand starvation and don't die.

When Li Yan hurried all the way to Yuncheng, it was already the third day after the earthquake, because it was still in the aftershock area, and any entry in the city would be prohibited, only a few patrols were loitering, and their task was to prevent some roosters and dogs from taking advantage of the fire to rob.

After inspecting the city, Li Yan, who had a heavy expression, came to the big lake with his entourage, and was soon surrounded by the people......

There is no doubt that Li Yan's books will not be read in vain for so many years, as a literati, he has good eloquence, in the face of tens of thousands of people by the lake, his speech was very successful, and the people's self-confidence was quickly intensified by him, of course, most of this encouragement came from Li Yan patting his chest on behalf of the military's various assurances.

At the end of the speech, Li Yan also released a bombshell news that the Ming Emperor was about to resist the Yuncheng disaster area to visit the people in the near future!

Sure enough, it was very heavy, the crowd was shocked and silent, the emperor came to see us, let's talk nonsense!

More than 500 kilometers away from Yuncheng, Yangquan Yinying Town is very lively.

Thousands of officers and soldiers camped here outside the town, which made the local people feel a little uneasy and curious, but there was one thing they could not have imagined that the Ming Emperor was in this camp.

In fact, the camp was only guarded by 2,000 officers and soldiers, the emperor's imperial forest army at the inner level, and the periphery was a thousand cavalry led by Yang and the general soldier Jiang Xuan, yes, he finally got the military order from the Military Discipline Department, so that he could quickly mobilize a thousand elite soldiers to escort the emperor to Taiyuan and then hand it over to the Taiyuan local garrison to escort.

Chongzhen's palace is a big tent, located in the center of the camp, in this kind of small place there is no post station or the post station is particularly small place he actually feels very cool to camp in the wild, maybe he will often be bored in the palace.

There are always a few people in the tent who are almost inseparable, in addition to the eunuchs who are waiting, there are also a few henchmen, and the young Yu Chenglong is one of them.

Because this person has been evaluated too highly by Lu Wang, Chongzhen has always regarded him as a treasure since the ravine was dug out, and even at the beginning, Lu Wang just suggested that he should be sent to the House of State for training and slowly mentioned, but Chongzhen couldn't wait to give him the position of Prime Minister directly, which is equivalent to the first assistant, and it is really not ordinary love.

And Yu Chengchan also gave Lu Wang a long face, although he was young, but he was steady and spicy, he shot quickly and abided by the rules, and in just a few months, he led several ministers of the Upper House of State to make a lot of noise about rectification, and more importantly, this person is not afraid of the powerful, and anyone dares to kick his nose in the face.

Because Chongzhen can't put it down for him, he must take it with him wherever he goes, so this inspection must be carried with him, as for the palace there is a concubine in the palace to help him supervise the country, what is the so-called prison of the country, make a show, does anyone dare to usurp his throne these years, and all kinds of national documents must be sent to him for processing.

For example, there are all kinds of thick pieces and documents on the table in front of him now, but everything he has seen will be shown to Yu Cheng Chan and a few people to listen to their opinions.

Although he was very busy, Chongzhen's expression was a smile on his face, which was a kind of ecstasy that could not be concealed in his heart, even if he was happy, sad and angry now.

Happily, the little god king overturned the Qing army so quickly, forced the other party to surrender, and let the emperor Taiji enter the capital to face the saint, you must know that when he received this information a few days ago, he was completely out of shape, and yelled at the sky continuously, although the ministers around him were also emotional, but the emperor's performance was absolutely rare.

As for why he is helpless why there are always so many natural disasters, according to the information sent by Jinyiwei, the damage caused by this earthquake is quite heavy, how to deal with so many refugees, and if one is not right, there may be a Li Zicheng.

Angry, I get angry when I think about it, I am the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I want to be a bodyguard when I go out, and I have to agree with Li Yan, how can I not be angry, although Li Yan will eventually solve this task quickly, but it still makes him have a big pimple in his heart, even Yu Chengchan was angry at the time, thinking that the military's move was too ridiculous, and even he tried his best to impeach Lu Wang in front of the emperor for disrespecting the imperial power, not respecting the inferiority, arrogant, and impure purpose...... Hearing Chongzhen's bitter smile, he knew in his heart that if Lu Wang's purpose was not pure, he would have died a long time ago, and he would not even be able to see the corpse.

But whether he is happy, worried, or angry, Chongzhen decided to be a good emperor who is diligent and diligent, which is why he only set off one day later than Li Yan, but only went to Yangquan.

The most important reason is that the first Chongzhen likes to drive, and the gasoline he brought from the capital is enough for him to consume for a while, but at this time, the road is hehe, and he can't stay away from the big army, after all, the security of this place in Shanxi...... But Li Yan is different, when he went from Anqing to Xi'an, the car ran out of fuel and was put on the local area, and the road would be fast and there were no heavy troops, and of course the gallop was fast all the way.

As for the second reason, Chongzhen has to inspect the local county government office all the way, and sometimes he will pay a private visit, which is more time-delaying.

"Your Majesty, the Fuxing God King is really too much, the people in this military are really hateful, that Li Yan is too blind and has no king's law, and now there are officials from the five cities who have impeached him to force him to let go of the granary...... "Yu Chenglong looked at the few pieces in front of him.

Hey, Chongzhen sighed: "The god king and the dragon don't see the tail after seeing it...... However, I have already informed him through the military discipline department, and besides, there is nothing wrong with opening a warehouse to help the people, although, hey, there is still a shortage of food! ”

"What the minister said is not the right or wrong of opening a position to help the people, there is nothing wrong with the people, what is wrong is Li Yan's approach, which simply ignores the court!" Yu Chenglong snorted.

Chongzhen smiled bitterly: "Let's talk to him when the Fuxing God King comes." (To be continued.) )
