In the past few days, Zhu Houzhao has indeed quelled the rebellion many times, but when it is said to be a counterinsurgency, it is actually not a counterinsurgency.

The counterinsurgency army is the victims with hoes, and the counterinsurgency targets those who are other victims.

To put it bluntly, it is to take a few thousand people to subdue those large groups of disaster victims, let them join the big family of Xinxing Home, and then contribute to the construction of the disaster area.

It's just that when it comes to Zhu Houzhao's mouth, this kind of thing becomes a counter-rebellion, and the dignified prince gave such a definition, and no one dared to refute it, and Xia Yuan didn't talk to him about it.

It doesn't make sense.

But this time it's a real counterinsurgency, in a sense, it's a counterinsurgency. However, the rebellion did not take place in Puzhou.

After 20 days of hard work, all the victims of the disaster in Puzhou were basically gathered together, and there was no rebellion.

The rebellion occurred in Linqing, and those ships docked at Linqing's Caoyun, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and all kinds of materials were placed on the ships, which naturally needed to be transported back and forth by manpower all the time.

Their grain transport team was robbed by the bandits of Linqing in the middle of the road.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao heard this, he dared to rob the food in the palace, arrogant!

When even excitedly lit up troops and horses, led the army to rush forward to quell the rebellion.

Xia Yuan was not very worried about this dog prince, so he had to go with him, and now it was a victory and triumph, almost effortlessly.

As soon as they left Puzhou, they encountered 3,000 soldiers and horses, this time they were serious soldiers and horses, not those who carried hoes and could not find hundreds of swords among the thousands of people.

After asking, I learned that it was a horse sent by the Beijing camp, and they rushed here day and night.

Zhu Houzhao naturally unceremoniously took in the whole situation, and then took it with him to quell the rebellion.

More than 2,000 bandits were tied with ropes and followed behind the team, and Zhu Houzhao rode a horse in front, full of spirit and spirit.

"Master, what should we do with these traitors?"

"Do you still need to ask? Pull them to dispose of the corpses, and no one wants to go. ”

Of the six county towns in Puzhou, two have been cleared out so far, and the corpses of people and animals inside and outside these two counties have basically been burned, and several dikes have been built at the place where the Yellow River bursts.

However, in the entire territory of Puzhou, there are too many places where the Yellow River breaches, and there are still many places where the rupture is not taken care of.

Just take your time.

Their camp is located in the southwest of Puzhou, a high-altitude wilderness close to Pushui.

At the beginning of the collapse, not only the Yellow River, but also the Pushui flooded. After dredging and intercepting, a dam was built to subdue this famous Pushui, and then the camp was built here.

After all, the Pushui has flowed for thousands of years, during which the Yellow River has been diverted several times. Pushui is only left with the remaining veins, and even in a few hundred years, in modern times, Pushui will disappear in the land of Puzhou.

And now Pushui, the river channel is not wide, the water level is not deep, it is no longer a big river, it can only be regarded as a small river.

Therefore, the surrounding area is a large area of farmland, and the people around Pushui usually lead this Pushui to irrigate the fields. At the time of the collapse, there were no people or animals near the water, so the water source was not polluted.

In the affected areas, the most important thing is to have enough water that can be safely drunk.

Xia Yuan managed this matter of controlling the water, which was called the Battle of Chengpu.

Defeat Pushui and build a new city around it.

In summer, the days are long and the nights are short, the sky is late, the sun sets, thousands of men and horses return to the camp, and the three thousand cavalry are thrown by Zhu Houzhao in Linqing.

Originally, he planned to come back with one and integrate them into the soldiers and horses under his hands, but these people always shouted and begged him to return to Beijing, can Zhu Houzhao endure this? The disaster treatment in this palace has been effective, back to a fart!

So they threw all these people in Linqing and let them be responsible for maintaining this grain road.

At this time, the whole camp was already full of smoke, and as soon as he entered the camp, a group of unkempt people rushed over, shouting something loudly.

The voice is somewhat familiar.

The screams were miserable and desolate, and everyone was dark, like they had just crawled out of the coal kiln to dig coal.

"Master, this palace hasn't seen such a miserable victim in a few days."

Xia Yuan also sighed when he heard this, "I thought that our disaster relief had begun to bear fruit, but now it seems that this work is still not in place." ”

Wang Hua and the others have also run to the front, and everyone is trying to find the figure of the prince in the crowd, in fact, it is quite easy to find, the two people riding horses in front, who can it be if one of them is not His Royal Highness the Prince?

Seeing that the prince was intact and riding on a horse, he looked high-spirited. Wang Hua's eyes turned red instantly, and he had gained too many surprises since he came to this emerging home this afternoon.

not only found his son, but also found the elder Li Ge to heal his illness, and also learned the news that the prince was also alive. Although I have been worried about learning that the prince went to quell the rebellion, isn't this also a good life now?

Tears burst out of Wang Hua's eyes, and two words came out of his mouth, "Your Highness."

Zhu Houzhao was stunned at first, and then he grinned, turned his head to Xia Yuan and said, "Master, have you seen it?" The main palace is now dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and it can be recognized as the crown prince. ”

"You say, does this palace look like a king?"

Hearing this, Xia Yuan almost laughed, and looked at the appearance of someone on the horse, looking like you like you.

But this middle-aged refugee. Why is there always such a sense of familiarity?

Is it a delusion?

So he asked, "Your Highness, do you feel that this disaster victim is a little familiar?" ”

Familiar?

Zhu Houzhao was stunned again, and was about to look at the man, but Wang Hua wiped his tears with his cuffs, but the sleeves were so dirty that his face was a little dirty.

Then he raised his head and choked up: "Your Highness, the minister is Wang Hua."

Wang Hua?

Zhu Houzhao sat on the horse and worked hard to identify, not to mention, this victim and Master Wang are really a little similar, especially the voice, which is exactly the same.

But is this person really Master Wang?

He frowned and looked at the unkempt Wang Hua, in his impression, Master Wang was always solemn, wearing a red official robe, and he was meticulous from top to bottom.

Wang Hua choked a few times and fell to the ground: "On the orders of His Majesty, I have come here to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and at the same time provide relief to the victims. ”

"What? Are you here to help the victims? ”

Xia Yuan spoke beside him, his voice somewhat incredulous.

Wang Hua, who was kneeling on the ground, and hundreds of people who knelt on the ground together, were all dirty, and they couldn't tell who was who, all like refugees.

These people, who look like refugees, are actually here to help the victims.

Isn't that a bit too far-fetched.

Zhu Houzhao spoke more straightforwardly, "Relief for the victims. This palace looks like a disaster victim. ”

“.”

Everyone was speechless for a while, but they were powerless to refute.

"What supplies did you bring with you this time, did you bring any food?"

The crowd then fell silent, for there was no food, and it would take at least a few days for the grain to be transported out of the capital.

His Majesty had made a decree, and he had to draw up a charter, and then the household department approved the grain to be transported out of the warehouse, and then it had to be requisitioned from the nearby prefectures and counties, and then it was transported.

Delayed for so many days, where did they delay. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the life and death of the prince of the country are uncertain, and his life hangs by a thread, and he needs them, the court officials, to assist the loyal ministers to come to the rescue.

Seeing the silent appearance of these people, Zhu Houzhao knew that he didn't bring it, and then asked, "Did you bring the medicinal materials?" ”

“.”

"Cloth, do you have any tools?"

“.”

"You didn't bring anything, what kind of disaster did you come here to shake up?"

After being silent for a while, Wang Hua said: "The ministers are not just for disaster relief, but also to rescue His Highness at the behest of His Majesty. ”

"Where does this palace need your rescue?"

“.”

The crowd waited and didn't speak again, wasn't the reason why they went to Beijing so urgently this time to save His Royal Highness the Prince?

But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is jumping around, not to mention any uncertain life and death, his life is hanging by a thread, and he doesn't seem to have any scars at all.

Seeing a few words, these officials were speechless, and Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but stand up, especially that Master Wang, as a waiter in the East Palace, he was not less taught by this person.

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao used that tone of earnest teaching: "This disaster relief is not as easy as you think, you have to carry food, and the most lacking thing after the collapse of the ground is food, and with food, you will not starve to death." ”

"You have to bring the herbs with you, otherwise how can you cure the disease. And the most important thing is epidemic prevention, you must bring enough wormwood, but also bring enough cloth to make masks, otherwise a plague, I don't know how many people will die. ”

"By the way, you have to prepare a doctor, for example, when Bengong and the master first came, they brought in a lot of imperial doctors, although these quacks are not very good at medical skills, but they are still useful."

The cheeks of the crowd twitched slightly, what the prince said, everyone present may or may not know, but what can be said now?

So he had to bow and say, "What His Highness said is true." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Houzhao bowed his head lightly, and a teacher's style came to his face.

"You came all the way to come empty-handed, and the palace and the master have to find a way to settle you."

Halfway through speaking, Wang Hua raised his head suddenly, "Your Highness, there is no need to resettle, Your Majesty's meaning is to let Duke Li and his ministers come over to take charge of disaster relief, and His Royal Highness and Xia Xima need to return to Beijing as soon as possible." ”

Hearing this, that indifferent style disappeared in an instant, and Zhu Houzhao became anxious, "The palace and the master didn't drive you away, and you actually want to drive us away in turn?" ”

"Say! Do you look at the disaster of this palace and the master, and feel red-eyed and want to rob us of the credit? ”

“.”

The officials choked, but the relief was indeed good. When it came from the north, Puzhou was still a hell on earth, with the corpses of people and animals everywhere, and the stagnant water gushing out of the flooding Yellow River.

But the further south we got, the more stable the situation became, especially in this camp, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they couldn't even see that they had suffered a disaster.

And Xia Yuan keenly heard the point, Li Gong?

Those who can be called public are all bigwigs in the cabinet.

Li Dongyang is here?

Where?
