Chapter 337: The emperor is a Han Chinese, and the ironclad evidence will be like a mountain
Rain can go away from the heat, but too much can become a disaster.
On the ninth day of May, Jia Jiashikai, the minister in charge of Jingling, reported to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that due to the recent heavy rain in Zunhua, mudslides had occurred in many places in Changrui Mountain and Jidi, and some areas of Jingling were seriously waterlogged.
Jin Jian, one of the ministers in charge and a servant of the household department, did not take Jingling's report seriously, and instructed Jingling to contact the general army yamen of Malan Town, and if necessary, he could ask Malan Town to send green battalion soldiers to help drain the water.
In the next few days, God may have breathed a sigh of relief and did not rain again, but on the night of the 13th, there was another storm and rain in the area of Changrui Mountain.
According to the old man guarding the Eight Banners, they had never seen such a heavy rain.
The rain is so heavy that it is as if God has moved a lake to the sky above Zunhua, and the pouring cannot be described.
No matter whether it is a person or an animal, it is impossible to get out of the house at all.
The visible distance is less than three feet in wind and rain.
Several of the thatched huts of the chief yamen were overturned.
The next day, the torrential rain stopped, and the officers and soldiers guarding the tomb found that the trees in the mausoleum had been blown down by the wind, and the top of the Shengde Shengong Monument Pavilion had also collapsed.
Almost one-third of the entire mausoleum was covered with knee-high water, but before Director Jia could organize the officers and soldiers to start removing the water, worse news came.
Last night's heavy rain caused the water level of the Ganma River to rise sharply a few miles west of Changrui Mountain, and the Zunhua Prefecture notified the two chief yamen of Xiaoling and Jingling, saying that there were signs of instability in some sections of the river, and requested the relevant departments of the Imperial Tomb to immediately start the first-level response procedure for rescue and disaster relief.
Jia Liu also panicked, although Emperor Shengzuren had already lived in the waterbed, the water was in a controllable range. The embankment was about to collapse, and the flood water poured into Jingling along the drainage channel of Jidi, and not only Emperor Shengzuren was unlucky, but also his grave keeper was also unlucky.
Moreover, there are still a large number of people living around the imperial tomb, although due to the undulating terrain, not all the people will suffer, but Director Jia loves the people like a son, even if one family is flooded, his old man will be uneasy.
The disaster is the military situation!
Without any hesitation, Jia Liu immediately led the soldiers of the Eight Banners guarding the tomb to join the rescue work of reinforcing the river embankment, and sent people to Malan Town and the Internal Affairs Office to report the emergency, requesting the two major units to quickly mobilize manpower and material resources to participate in the Imperial Tomb Relief Project.
After Jiang Xueyi, the chief soldier of Malan Town, received an urgent report from the imperial mausoleum, he immediately rushed to the scene with more than 900 officers and soldiers led by Wang Guangcai, the prefect of Zunhua.
When they arrived at the place, Jiang Zongbing and Wang Zhifu were shocked by the scene in front of them.
Lord Jia Jia, the minister in charge of Jingling, was leading the officers and soldiers to load soil in sacks and strengthen the embankment under the scorching sun.
"I'm relieved that you're here!"
Seeing the general army of Ma Lan who rushed to reinforce with the prefect of Zunhua, shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts, braided around his neck, his shoulders were made to grind off a layer of oily skin, and his hands and feet were blistered white, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
The two Han officials were stunned, but they didn't expect that Jia Jia, who was both a disciple of the Eight Banners and the head of the forehead, could take the lead like this, which was really admirable.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs also came.
Dejingling urgently reported that the Ganma River might burst and endanger the imperial tomb, and the king of the county Yongying couldn't sit still anyway, so he hurriedly entered the palace to ask the emperor for instructions, and then took the governor Jin Jian, and the newly promoted minister of the governor He Shen hurried to Changrui Mountain.
When everyone arrived, countless officers and soldiers and civilians lined up in a mile-long line, reinforcing the river embankment in an orderly manner.
The gaps are plugged.
Seeing this, all the ministers, including Yongying, breathed a sigh of relief.
A veteran of the Eight Banners, who was delivering food to the river embankment, asked, "What about your lordship?" ”
Seeing that a senior official asked the chief manager, the veteran of the Eight Banners who delivered the meal immediately pointed into the distance and said in a proud voice: "The chief manager is there!" ”
Everyone followed the gestures of the veterans of the Eight Banners, and saw that on the outside of the river embankment, hundreds of officers and soldiers were building a human wall in the water, so that the reinforced wood could be smoothly driven into the water.
And among them, who is Jia Jiashikai, who is not the minister in charge of Jingling!
"Hey, hey, work harder, royalist mausoleum, save the people, report the Qing Dynasty..."
With the horn in Jia Jia's mouth, the officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners, the officers and soldiers of the Green Battalion, and the local people who participated in the rescue were all enthusiastic and full of enthusiasm.
What kind of officials there are, what kind of soldiers, what kind of people?
The danger, with the unity of the military and the people, was finally eliminated.
After going ashore, Jia Liu was very excited when he saw He Shen's figure, and when he saw a few officials he didn't know, one of them was still dressed as a county king.
In an instant, Jia Liu fainted.
When the panicked crowd carried him to find Lang Zhong, Jia Liu, who woke up and was still conscious, was still murmuring: "Don't care about me, you must guard the embankment, you must guard the imperial tomb!" .... Brothers, hold on, stand up! ”
.........
The heroic deeds of Jia Jiashikai, director of the Jingling Management Committee, soon became known to both the government and the public.
It is said that when the king of Qianjun reported to Huang Ama, he swallowed twice, saying that his ministers had never seen such loyal courtiers for the Qing Dynasty in his life.
Jin Jian, the minister in charge, also told the emperor what he saw and heard truthfully, and also spoke highly of Jia Jia Shikai, the minister in charge of Jingling, praising him for "having the courage to take responsibility, taking the lead, not afraid of danger, and being a minister." ”
After the emperor inquired about He Shen carefully, the decree came out: "Jia Jia Shikai is appointed as the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Governor of Tangling." ”
The grade is still the third grade, but in addition to Jingling, there are filial piety tombs and Yuling prepared for Qianlong himself.
Commonly known as the Minister of Tanglin.
After receiving the order, Jia Liu couldn't help but sigh to Liu Heyi: "The old man has upgraded me from a grave guard to a funeral director." ”
Liu Heyi couldn't understand.
Jia Liu didn't explain too much to him, only smiled: "Call me Director Jia in the future." ”
After looking around, he didn't find the bolt, so he asked Liu Heyi where the bolt had gone.
Liu Heyi shook his head and said that he didn't know, and asked Director Jia when he would officially report the water seepage in the underground palace. He has already tied up a large number of counterfeiters to Xiaozhai, and more than a dozen cases have been initially made.
"At present, Mr. Gu and the others just rushed out, and they have not yet swept Huguang, so they must be under the city of Wuchang."
Jia Liu went straight to find the bolt pillar, now that he is not fighting the flood and rescuing the emergency, the three major projects have to be started quickly.
After a long search, I finally found him in the bolt room.
To Jia Liu's astonishment, the bolt pillar actually released the old lady and his wife out of the sack, knelt on the side and didn't know what they were meditating on with the old monk.
"Let the old lady let the wind go? Wait for the sun to come out and take it out to dry. ”
Jia Liuyi is right, it rains every day during this time, don't put the old lady and his wife into mold.
The bolt pillar who opened his eyes looked excited: "Young master, I have found evidence that the emperor is Han!" ”
