"How many days has it been raining...... In front of the main hall of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houwei looked at the drifting heavy rain, his eyes were full of melancholy.

Since mid-April, the day has been like a leak, and the rain has been endless, and there is no sign of stopping.

Such heavy rains will inevitably lead to floods, and natural disasters will inevitably lead to the destruction of people's homes and their displacement......

"Back to Your Majesty, it has been raining for thirteen days......" The little eunuch who was waiting beside him hurriedly responded.

"Thirteen days!"

Jiangxi!

Luo Ji, the commander of the Jiangxi Military Region stationed in Nanchang Mansion, also looked at the heavy rain outside worriedly, and his brows had already condensed into a line.

Luo Ji was born in Yongwangwei, after entering Beijing, he served as a guerrilla in the vanguard battalion of the Shence Army, and then rectified military affairs, made great achievements, and was promoted to a general, the Tiance Army was established, and served as the chief general of the three battalions of the Tiance Army.

There are 10,000 generals in the three battalions of the Tiance Army, but according to the will of the Son of Heaven, each military region should recruit compulsory soldiers on its own, and the army should be expanded to 30,000!

Today's Jiangxi Military Region has 30,000 troops, guarding one side!

"Convene the generals of all ministries and regiments!"

Today's Ming military system has also been slightly adjusted, and the changes are not too big, and the military region units take the brigade as the unit, with one brigade commander, two deputy commanders, one brigade instructor, and one brigade with 30,000 troops!

The brigade has three battalions, each with 10,000 units, and three regiments under the battalion, each regiment has an establishment of 3 to 4,000 households......

The main purpose of the unconventional military establishment of compulsory conscripts is to let young people who are willing to join the army enter the barracks for military education and training, and then look at the actual situation after the number of years has passed, and decide whether or not to let them be discharged from the army and absorb fresh blood.

The dull sound of drums spread throughout the military region in the heavy rain, and although it was raining heavily, all the regimental generals who received the news left the barracks and rushed to the headquarters at the last speed.

After the three drums were completed, more than a dozen middle and high-ranking generals of the Jiangxi Military Region had already gathered in the headquarters.

After the generals stood in front of their seats, Luo Ji, who was looking at the map with his back to him, turned around and walked to the front of his seat and said, "Generals, please take a seat."

After brushing up, more than a dozen generals sat down at the same time in almost no particular order!

"Ladies and gentlemen, it has rained heavily for several days, and there is a flood in the rivers in Jiangxi, and the lives and property of the people have been threatened, so the general has decided to send troops to fight the disaster!"

"General!" Brigade instructor Dou Lei said: "All local military regions do not have the privilege of sending troops privately, and without the chairman's order or the Military Commission's troop transfer documents, sending troops without permission will be regarded as complicity!"

"Yes." Luo Ji replied categorically and said: "Before the establishment of the military region, His Majesty asked Gonggong Ren to send a decree, saying that the commander of the military region garrison has the right to dispatch all the troops and horses without consulting the Central Military Commission when natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and locust plagues occur in the garrison area, as well as when bandits or robbers plundered the place!"

"Oracle?" Dou Lei asked again, he didn't suspect that Luo Ji wanted to rebel, in fact, according to the current state of the army, even if Luo Ji wanted to rebel, the soldiers who followed him probably didn't exist, but as an instructor of the Jiangxi Military Region, in addition to being responsible for the army's cultural and ideological education, he also had the right to deprive the commander of abuse of power, so he had to ask clearly.

"Oracle!" Without saying a word, Rogie took out a holy decree from the long box on the table!

Seeing this, all the generals immediately stood up and stood solemnly.

Luo Ji took out the holy decree, then unfolded it and read it again, and waited until he finished reading it and handed it to Dou Lei, who read it again, and then checked the big seal on the holy decree.

"Correct." Dou Lei handed the holy decree back to Luo Ji and said, "How does General Luo plan to rescue the disaster."

"Thousands of miles of embankment, once the mouth is dug, hundreds of miles of land will be Zeguo in an instant, and I don't know how many people will be displaced and homeless!"

Luo Ji's gaze became a little sharper and said: "Your Majesty once told us in the camp that the soldiers do not have too much good impression in the eyes of the people, because there are too many examples of looting and bullying ordinary people in the local guards, and the people are afraid of officials like tigers and regard soldiers like wolves!"

But the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are also from the people, they are also the sons of the people, they should be the sons of the people, but why did they become evil wolves in the eyes of the people?

In addition, the guards in various places had no combat power and were powerless to suppress bandits, causing the people to suffer greatly from the bandits, and they were disappointed in the combat strength of the guards, and then disappointed in the army of the whole world.

This is the same as the treasure banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty said that the treasure banknotes want to circulate by credit, and the treasure banknotes without credit are worthless waste paper, and the Son of Heaven used countless commodity endorsements to rebuild the credit of the banknotes and restore the royal credibility in the people.

Now we are the same, Your Majesty has asked us to be stationed in the local military districts, not only to maintain local peace, eliminate the trouble of banditry, and protect the safety of the people, but also to make the people accept and recognize us as soldiers.

Let them feel from the bottom of their hearts that we are different from the previous guards, and let them feel that we are the protectors of the people and the people's soldiers. ”

"General, give the order, what are you going to do?" The regimental commander Kou Gu shouted.

"It's easy!" Luo Ji glanced at the generals and said loudly: "If we want to become the protector of the people, the only thing we need to do now is to defend the Yangtze River embankment, strengthen the embankment, and ensure that the embankment will not burst, for which our army can do whatever it takes, in addition, we must properly collect the people affected by the disaster this time and help them rebuild their homes......"

"General, this is a matter for civil affairs and the local government, and it is not appropriate for the army to do this." Dou Lei spoke again.

"Ben will not care about civil or military affairs, Ben will not care whether local officials act or not, Ben will only know that His Majesty wants us to be accepted by the people, and Ben will spare no effort for this."

Dou Lei stopped talking.

"Ben will order!"

All the generals stood in solemnity.

"The first and second regiments will go to Jiujiang with this group, and the third regiment is responsible for containment, evacuation of the people, and ensuring that the logistics baggage is in place in time!"

"Yes!"

Jiujiang Province.

Jiujiang prefect Xie Qing is also watching the rain, every day, all the time.

The heavy rain for several days has destroyed many people's homes, and the people who have no place to stay have become displaced people, and they have poured into the counties and even the state capital under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang Prefecture.

However, this catastrophe has led to tens of thousands of victims, and even rising, and the counties are already overcrowded.

Once there are displaced people, the most important thing for the government to do is to properly resettle, not only to build temporary shelters, but also to open warehouses to release grain.

It's okay to build a simple house, but you can only wait for the will of the imperial court to open a warehouse and release grain, and it is a sin to kill the head of the local government to open a warehouse privately!

This is also a matter of no choice, in order to prevent the local authorities from committing fraud in the name of opening a position, this kind of measure is implemented, and it is also a helpless move.
