Chapter 388: About the Flood

"Then who do you think is more appropriate to send to suppress the rebellion in Liangzhou? How much should I go to the army? Qi Huang asked.

Since ascending to the throne, he has gradually developed a habit that even if he has a decision in his heart, he still likes to listen to the opinions of others before speaking out, so that he can learn from each other's strengths.

So, the ministers discussed in a whisper below.

Taifu Liu Jinpin thought for a moment, then stood up and said to Emperor Qi: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is more appropriate to send General Zeng Shiyi to suppress the rebellion in Liangzhou. ”

Then, he expressed his opinion.

"The terrain of Liangzhou is still relatively complicated compared to other places, and it is easy for strangers to lose their position and direction when they step into it, if the minister is not mistaken, General Zeng Shiyi is a person from Liangzhou, and he knows the topography of Liangzhou quite well."

As soon as he finished speaking, General Zeng Shiyi came out of the ranks, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Taifu is right, the minister is a person from Liangzhou, and he still has a certain understanding of Liangzhou. ”

Emperor Qi looked at him and asked, "Then Zeng Aiqing thinks how many soldiers is more appropriate?" ”

Zeng Shiyi pondered for a while, and then continued to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that 50,000 troops are enough!" ”

This was not much different from what he thought in his heart, so Emperor Qi nodded and ordered, "Okay! Zeng Aiqing, three days later, you will order 50,000 troops to suppress the rebellion in Liangzhou! ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! The minister will not fail in his mission! Zeng Shiyi said heavily.

Emperor Qi patted the case and said, "Okay! The Liangzhou rebellion is here first, and the next thing is to discuss the flood in Lingzhou! ”

When he said this, Emperor Qi's expression was more solemn than when he talked about the Liangzhou rebellion.

The Liangzhou rebellion and the massive invasion of the Tatars were both man-made, but the floods in Lingzhou were caused by nature.

The flood in Lingzhou came so quickly this time, it was like a large basin of water poured directly into Lingzhou, and the river suddenly rose a lot, and those embankments were like a piece of waste paper, which was washed away in an instant.

In an instant, most of Lingzhou became a vast sea, and countless houses and crops were washed away, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hell on earth.

As the so-called chaos will inevitably lead to riots, if the imperial court does not handle it well or does not deal with it in a timely manner, there will inevitably be an unprecedented riot in Lingzhou, which is definitely much more serious than the rebellion in Liangzhou.

You must know that the rebellion in Liangzhou this time was only caused by the incompetence of local officials to cause a certain number of well-intentioned people to take advantage of the rebellion, and it did not affect the whole state, and it was within the controllable range.

In this flood, not only the civilians suffered from the scourge of the flood, but also many local officials were also deeply involved, and there was no usual strength to govern at all.

Once there is a riot, you can imagine what kind of scene it will be, and there is a very high chance that this will be!

Therefore, when they heard about the catastrophic flood in Lingzhou, the faces of all the courtiers in the Jinluan Hall were unprecedentedly solemn and worried.

Of course, the large-scale invasion of the Tatars and the rebellion in Liangzhou are also very big things, but in the end, there are traces to follow, and I have the bottom in my heart and feel that I can defeat them.

Then, for natural disasters such as floods and the overturning of the earth dragon, they don't have much spectrum in their minds.

Since ancient times, in the face of such disasters, the court has not had many means and corresponding standardized measures, so it can only act at the opportune time, and the results are very unsatisfactory.

Other than that, the only thing left is the disaster.

What is a disaster?

Actually, it is easy to understand that it means to eliminate disasters.

In ancient times, people often believed that disasters occurred because the gods imposed punishments on the world, and in order to get the understanding of the gods, they had to go to the stage to perform rituals and pray, and those who were qualified to do such things were often the highest authority in the country, representing the whole country.

As for believing or not believing, if there is an invalidity, it is similar to praying to God and worshiping Buddha in later generations.

But, no matter what, at least there is some comfort in my heart.

Since ascending to this position, Emperor Qi has only done one disaster, and I believe that he will have to do it a second time soon.

As expected, although there were endless quarrels in the court, there was no reason for the specific measures regarding the Lingzhou flood.

In this regard, Emperor Qi couldn't help but feel a headache, seeing that it was not a way to continue like this, he could only announce the next dynasty.

I planned in my heart, and after a while, I would call the three princes of the dynasty and the six Shangshu to the Yangshen Hall to discuss it well, which was much better than listening to a group of people in the Jinluan Hall as if they were noisy in the vegetable market.

In fact, this can't all be blamed on the courtiers, this time the Lingzhou flood is too big, it can be said that it is the first time in their lives that they have encountered such a big flood, and the already scarce knowledge is even more helpless in the face of such a big flood.

As for the fact that military attachΓ©s such as General Li Jinglong and Li Da asked them to fight with the Tatars, they were naturally not false at all, confident, and even excited, and to control the floods, uh...... I'm really sorry about that.

When Emperor Qi and the three dukes and the six Shangshu of the current dynasty were discussing the matter of the great flood in Lingzhou in the Yangshen Palace, Li Jinglong had already returned home.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Jinglong still told his family about the matter, after all, even if he wanted to hide it, he couldn't hide it.

"Huh? Why? Brother Long, you haven't been in charge of an army for many years, why did Your Majesty ask you to lead an army to fight the Tatars this time? There are obviously other generals in the DPRK and China! ”

Hearing this news, He Yun couldn't help but become anxious, as a wife, she naturally didn't want her husband to go on the expedition, because the expedition was not only away from home for a long time, but also accompanied by danger.

Li Jinglong explained: "This Tatar invasion is different from the previous small fights, but a real large-scale invasion, and the generals in the court can stop this matter except me. ”

His words are naturally exaggerated, and it is naturally not only him who can take charge of this matter in the court, but at least a few other people can, such as General Zeng Shiyi Zeng, who is preparing to suppress the rebellion in Liangzhou.

The reason why the court decided to send Li Jinglong, a general who had not been in charge of troops for many years, to block the Tatar attack was because Li Jinglong, the great general's ability, was the strongest among all the generals of Qi State, and it was the safest way for him to go.

The current state of Qi cannot tolerate defeat on the side of the northern Tatars, otherwise it will make the state of Qi fall into a very passive and bad side.

Li Jinglong obviously knew about this, so when Emperor Qi asked, he promised without thinking without much hesitation.
