Wang Yonggui knew that Li Miao seemed to be understated. In fact, it must have been well thought out.

These 3,000 guards can ensure the supply of supplies for the Malacca route, along which the fleet of three-sailing seaships will be supplied. and access security.

The same ocean-going fleet, in turn, is the backing of these three thousand escorts. Everyone is like two grasshoppers on a rope.

It's interdependent. It's mutually beneficial. This kind of relationship is the most solid.

As long as Li Miao's fleet existed for one day, their relationship would be unbreakable. In addition, there is a righteous name, how can these three thousand guards eat inside and out.

In these days, we don't talk about morality and reputation, but it's hard to move an inch!

Wang Yonggui was about to say goodbye, such a large ocean-going fleet was going to sail away, and there must be many things to arrange. At this point, Fonda hurriedly barged in.

Wang Yonggui subconsciously stood up, his nervous hands trembling slightly. Know that something big must be happening. Usually, Feng Da's information was handed to Li Miao after he had screened it himself.

Now Feng Da went straight to Li Miao's study. Although Li Miao had no expression on her face, she also knew that something big must be there. The atmosphere in the study suddenly became tense.

"The proprietor, twenty-five miles downstream of Kaifeng Mansion, the Yellow River broke its embankment and diverted its course, seizing the Huai into the sea." Feng Da's voice trembled a little.

Whenever a major event needs to calm down, Li Miao calmed down. "When?"

"It was already two days ago, and the local secret bureau delayed for a day in order to find out the disaster. A total of more than a dozen counties were affected, with more than 2 million people affected. ”

"In the area of Shushangqiu, which was the most severely affected, the county seat alone was washed away and flooded. Numerous casualties were immense. Concrete statistics are not yet available. Fonda's voice began to settle as well.

Li Miao's brows furrowed slightly, Wang Yonggui didn't know why, he actually looked a little gloating. Li Miao glanced at Wang Yonggui.

Wang Yonggui's thoughts, Li Miao understood. "I want a glorious and prosperous world, not broken mountains and rivers."

What Li Miao said was also from her heart. Even if he was not suppressed by the dragon qi, Li Miao would not watch hundreds or tens of millions of people die like this. Li Miao once made a grand wish to protect the people here.

"Order, the Northern Bureau quickly raised food, medicine and other materials for millions of refugees and transported them to the Shangqiu area of Henan Province within ten days. At the same time, all the large and small sea vessels of the Northern Bureau were on standby in the area from Lianyungang to Rizhao a month later. Li Miao spoke very slowly.

Wang Yonggui began to restrain his smile and write seriously. As soon as she finished writing, Li Miao quickly stamped the letter with the seal of the Shunfeng family law. Immediately, Feng Da took the order of the Shunfeng family and went out to hand it to the family.

The first Shunfeng family decree was quickly sent.

"Order, the Southern Bureau quickly raised food, medicine and other materials for millions of refugees and transported them to the Shangqiu area of Henan Province within 10 days. At the same time, all the large and small sea vessels of the Southern Bureau were on standby in the area from Lianyungang to Rizhao a month later. ”

Li Miao's speed of speech became faster and faster. "Order, Shunfeng Transport Dart Bureau to deliver the affected materials with all its might. Ten days later, 10,000 dart masters and guards gathered in the Shangqiu area. ”

This time, Li Miao did not alarm the Liaodong Bureau. At present, the main task of the Liaodong Bureau is to prepare for war.

With the cooperation of the Southern Bureau and the Northern Bureau, this disaster relief and post-disaster resettlement are not much of a problem. Li Miao's forces make many emergency plans every year. Flooding has historically been the most important emergency response plan.

Floods were not uncommon in the Great Zheng Dynasty, especially the floods of the Yellow River. But like this time, the Kaifeng Yellow River was diverted and seized into the sea. Once in 500 years, or even nearly 1,000 years. The aftermath of the disaster is far-reaching.

As one after another Shunfeng family decrees were quickly issued, everyone seemed to calm down. Fonda was the first to leave the study.

Li Miao looked at Wang Yonggui. "It's not a good thing for us, at least we can house more people on the northern border."

"Don't delay the matter of the ocean-going trade fleet, let's arrange it quickly!" After Li Miao finished speaking, Wang Yonggui retreated a little reluctantly. Wang Yonggui is a housekeeper and a master, and some words are not spit out and unhappy.

How could Li Miao not know what Wang Yonggui wanted to say. It's just that I want to take this opportunity to change the dynasty. But can Li Miao? No! Even if he was not suppressed by the dragon qi, Li Miao was unwilling.

How many Han compatriots have to be sacrificed! Besides, there are Jurchens eyeing each other. This also involves people's wishes, luck, and so on. Li Miao didn't bother to explain to Wang Yonggui, and he couldn't explain it clearly anyway.

The Yellow River is the mother river of China and the river of disaster. Floods are continuous, with minor disasters occurring every year, and major disasters occurring once every three to five years. But catastrophes like the diversion of the Yellow River are once in 500 or nearly 1,000 years.

Every time the Yellow River is diverted, it is an opportunity to change the dynasty. And the probability can be seven or eight out of ten. Even if it is a glorious and prosperous era, it is difficult to escape the fate of changing the dynasty. This is also the reason why Wang Yonggui wants to speak and stops.

But Li Miao has made it clear that he wants a glorious and prosperous world, not a broken country. What Li Miao said was also true. Take advantage of the disaster of the diversion of the Yellow River to change the dynasty.

All you get is broken country. The population has plummeted by more than half. Mountains and rivers are broken, and the population is withering, what is the meaning of such a country? It doesn't fit Li Miao's heart!

Wang Mang, a famous figure in later history, was the usurper Wang Mang at the end of the Han Dynasty. Wang Mang was also considered by later generations to be the first suspected traverser.

He took advantage of the status of the emperor's inner relatives and gradually occupied a high position. Powerful! Began his reforms similar to the "People's Commune". And it was quite successful.

Wang Mang leads by example. First of all, he scattered his family wealth to participate in the reform.

Those feudal landlords and aristocrats were also forced by Wang Mang's power, so they could only follow together to set up a "people's commune". The scale is unprecedented, and Wang Mang is deeply loved and supported by the people.

In the last years of the Han Dynasty, productivity was low, and the system of "people's communes" increased the enthusiasm of the masses for production. It has greatly accelerated the rapid development of the agricultural economy and economic prosperity.

Just when Wang Mang was making a big splash, he encountered the diversion of the Yellow River. Moreover, the key area of Wang Mang's reform is the hardest hit area of the Yellow River's diversion.

Is Wang Mangyan invincible? A large number of refugees were taken by those feudal landlords. and the aristocracy took advantage. The regime established by Wang Mang was soon overthrown.

As a loser, how can Wang Mang have a good reputation. It has been specially approved by a large number of dynasties. In particular, the feudal dynasties were afraid of Wang Mang's "people's commune".

The "people's commune" simply shook the foundation of feudal society!

Therefore, a large number of special approvals in all dynasties and dynasties are also Wang Mang's usurpation. It's not right! As for the "People's Commune", they were kept secret.

Every time the Yellow River is diverted, a large yellowing area is formed. The width can be hundreds of miles, and the narrow place can be more than ten miles. The water of the Yellow River, accompanied by a large amount of sediment, flooded the towns. Not to mention villages.

The key is the yellowing area, which has not retreated for more than ten years or decades. The surviving people have also completely lost their homes and the fields they are too lazy to survive. That's the scariest thing.

These people who have nothing to lose, people who are hungry. If you don't handle it properly, you will eventually turn into locusts. The food of the surrounding people will be robbed and eaten up by them.

The people in the surrounding area have gradually become refugees and hungry people. In this way, more than a million victims will become millions of hungry and mobs. And the number of hungry people and mobs will continue to rise.

These hungry people and mobs are on the verge of starvation, life and death. The constraints of law and morality are gone. The ugly side of human nature will be vividly displayed.

Disaster victims, mobs are trying to survive. Do whatever it takes. The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. The social order will be mercilessly whipped.

In the end, it was slightly used by people with ulterior motives, and it became a tool for changing the dynasty.

However, the cost of such a change of dynasty is too heavy. The population has plummeted, and it is often empty. There has been a serious setback in social development. The plague spread widely. It's really miserable.

Therefore, the diversion of the Yellow River is a catastrophic disaster, and post-disaster rescue and resettlement are the top priorities.

First of all, you have to give the people something to eat, so that they don't turn into locusts. That is, not to allow the number of victims to skyrocket.

That would require a lot of food supplies, and they would need to be in place in a timely manner. If there is a slight delay, the number of hungry people and disaster victims will increase rapidly.

At that point, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of disaster relief. So the disaster relief has to be fast!

Second, a catastrophe must be followed by a pandemic, especially a catastrophe like the diversion of the Yellow River. The dead people, livestock, millions, tens of millions of people died in the Yellow Plain.

The corpses buried in the sediment are fine, but the corpses floating in the yellow flood area will surely become the source of the epidemic. Especially in the hot summer, the spread of the epidemic will become extremely rapid.

The slightest carelessness can lead to the spread of the epidemic. This requires timely removal, burial, and incineration of floating corpses.

Nowadays, ordinary people do not have the habit of drinking boiled water. I don't even know what bacteria are. So a post-disaster outbreak is almost certain. Catastrophes are often accompanied by pandemics.

Therefore, preventing the spread of the epidemic is also a top priority.

Finally, there is the resettlement of these people, who now have nothing. What about their future lives?

How do you get them through the first winter after the disaster? This requires large quantities of food and other winter supplies.

How can they have land to cultivate in the future? Solve the livelihood problems of the future. Henan belongs to the Central Plains, and the population here is relatively dense. There is simply no land to house them.

The disaster area is also surrounded by relatively densely populated Jianghuai and Shandong regions. Surely these areas will not be able to accommodate large numbers of victims. Now in addition to the northern border, there are a lot of borderlands.

But organizing such a long-distance migration, thousands of miles away! It's destined to be a big project. It's not just about the supplies along the way. We also have to consider the issue of order for millions of victims.

If you're not careful, it's a mess. It seriously threatened the stability of the Great Zheng Dynasty. Threatens the foundation of the rule of the Great Zheng Dynasty.

This is why the diversion of the Yellow River is often accompanied by a change of dynasty. Even in the glorious and prosperous era, the slightest carelessness will overturn.

A corrupt court like the Great Zheng Dynasty is simply a doomed situation.
