Chapter 26: Zhang Fei fell ill

After the left-behind officials in Chengdu received the order from Chang'an, they were at a loss for the rugged Shu Road at first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf you want to reconnoiter the disaster area, you have to go over the mountains and mountains to find it. The manpower of the government is definitely insufficient, and those officials are not qualified for this kind of reconnaissance mission in the Songshan mountains.

Of course, it is more appropriate to leave the reconnaissance to the army. Officials left behind in Chengdu immediately contacted the local garrison and asked for their help in finding the exact location of the ground movement. Except for Chang'an, there are no hot air balloons in other cities for the time being, because the hot air balloons have been transferred to the front line.

Therefore, the generals of the garrison also sent people to inquire about the news at the beginning. Later, one of his staff officers reminded him that there was a hot air balloon factory in the "Ministry of Industry" outside the city, and there might still be a stock of hot air balloons.

This staff officer is a graduate of the Dahan Longteng Academy, and he is very familiar with the situation on the side of the "Ministry of Industry". The guard was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to check it, and sure enough, he found that there were four hot air balloons in the warehouse of the hot air balloon factory that had just been completed and had not yet had time to be sent away.

This is a great joy, the hot air balloon is available, the pilots do not have to worry, there are ready-made test pilots in the factory, and with a simple training of them, they can be qualified for the role of aerial scouts.

There is no problem with the high-powered telescopes needed for aerial reconnaissance, because the optical instrument factory of the "Ministry of Industry" that used to produce telescopes is still in operation. There are also telescopes in stock.

As a result, Chengdu quickly put together a temporary aerial reconnaissance team, and they flew to a high altitude to reconnoiter the area near Chengdu for the first time, and the efficiency of aerial reconnaissance exceeded that of the ground reconnaissance troops countless times, and they soon found that the small county town of Mianyu, about 300 miles west of Chengdu, had become a ruin.

Mianyu is a place where many ethnic groups live together, the main ethnic groups are Han, Qiang, Tibetan and Hui, of which the Han population is smaller than that of other ethnic groups. The news soon spread back to Chengdu, and Chengdu officials immediately reported to the imperial court on the one hand and organized rescue work on the other.

But this rescue work is really not easy to do, not to mention the long distance, most of the roads are still winding mountain paths. It's a lot of trouble to get relief supplies there. But no matter how difficult it is, it has to be done, if it was the distant era of Emperor Shangao in the past, maybe the magistrate would have concealed this matter, without him, it would be too troublesome to deal with.

At that time, they all liked to "rule by inaction". But now this one

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) everything has reached the heavens, the emperor has personally issued orders, where do the left-behind officials in Chengdu dare to slacken, they can only do their best.

In the end, the rescue work fell to the army, and this kind of hard work can only be done by the loveliest people of the army. Moreover, the current yamen is different from the yamen of later generations with "endless human resources", and the current yamen only has three or two kittens, which is really not competent for such large-scale rescue operations.

Fortunately, Chengdu, as the accompanying capital, still has a lot of troops stationed. The garrison immediately carried the relief materials that had been prepared long ago and crossed the mountains and mountains to advance into the disaster area. At the same time, the hot air balloons that were originally used for reconnaissance were also loaded with relief materials and flew to the disaster area, and they could deliver some emergency relief materials to the disaster area much earlier than the ground troops.

Although the carrying capacity is small, this small amount of supplies may save a few lives, after all, some people may have been hungry for days, and some people have infected wounds and will eventually die if they are not treated in time.

In fact, after the disaster area is found, there is nothing to say about the next thing, everything just goes according to plan. Anyway, the most urgent first stage of rescue is too late, and the garrison troops in Chengdu will carry out the second stage of rescue, and then wait for the new recruits to arrive from Guanzhong to start the third stage of rescue.

As for how many people died and how many people were injured in the first stage, manpower could not control it at all, and the government could not stop it, so the empire could only bear the loss this time. Fortunately, the place is sparsely populated, with less than 5,000 people in the entire county and less than 20,000 residents in the county, so even if a major disaster occurs in this kind of place, the number of deaths is very limited.

In addition, when the ground movement occurred, it was the daytime work time, and most people were working in the fields and fields, which also avoided the danger of most people being crushed by collapsed houses, so the mortality rate of ground movement at this time was much lower than that of the densely populated era in later generations.

Moreover, because the imperial court rescued in a timely manner, there were no secondary disasters such as plague and famine, and in the end, more than half of the Mianyu people were rescued. The follow-up rescue measures of the imperial court included helping the victims to rebuild their homes and resume production, which also made the affected people well resettled.

People are grateful, and the victims who received assistance are grateful to the imperial court and to Liu Hou, the emperor. And the emperor, who was far away in the capital Chang'an, did not pay more attention to them.

After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and he can't manage so much, as the center of this huge empire, he needs to pay attention to the east

There are too many West, and he only needs to give a general direction and give orders for many things, and naturally there are countless institutions and countless manpower to achieve his goals.

Sometimes he even felt that he was a schizophrenic, one moment he was still mourning the natural disasters in the southwest, and the next he was rejoicing in the harvest in the east. One moment he was worried about the unfavorable progress of the navy in the East China Sea, and the next moment he was rejoicing at the successive victories in the northern battlefield.

At this moment, he was a little sad. Now, instead of attending a cabinet meeting on the other side of the Cabinet Chamber, he sat quietly in the East Wing, his oversized and luxurious office in a daze.

The copper-red ceiling fan rotated weakly overhead, and the gentle cool breeze made the whole room cool and pleasant, but Liu Hou still felt a little hot and restless. With the in-depth research of the Institute of Electricity, the simplest electrical device has also been invented.

Although the performance of the fan is still unsatisfactory, and it is still expensive, and ordinary people cannot afford to use it, but the emperor is the most noble person in the world, and the palace is the most luxurious place in the world.

The culprit that caused Liu Hou's current abnormal state was placed on the desk in front of him, it was an ordinary letter, but the content was not ordinary. This letter came from the distant Tibetan region, and stated that Zhang Fei was seriously ill and requested that Zhang Fei be allowed to return to Beijing for treatment, and that the imperial court should resend a commander to lead the legions of the Western Expedition.

Although Zhang Fei used to be very fierce, he couldn't escape the Heavenly Dao, and time was the greatest Heavenly Dao. Since Zhang Fei followed Liu Bei, he has been fighting in various places, and he has hardly stopped.

This kind of high-intensity exercise is not to mention the human body, even if the machine will wear out and damage. This never-ending life of Jin Ge Iron Horse has caused a lot of damage to Zhang Fei's body.

Today, he is not young. Although it is no longer necessary for him to go into battle and fight in person, as the battlefield continues to shift, he must often follow the long-distance march.

To put it nicely, their troops have been marching high, and to put it mildly, he is constantly living a life of displacement. This kind of life is indeed not pleasant for an old man in his fifties or sixties, covered with injuries.
