Chapter 103: Xi'an Asks for Help

"Lord Wang, the sleigh concubine has seen it, I don't know if I can row directly in the snow like rowing a boat."

Just when everyone was silent, Xiao Hongmian suddenly reminded him.

"It's too heavy, it's easy to sink into the snow, and the steering is still a problem, and if you're not careful, the car will be destroyed."

Zhu Gaoxuan shook his head, he had also thought of this method, and even knew that the wheels and frame of the carriage could be directly dismantled, and then two inclined planks could be added to the front and back to make a simple sled.

But pulling the cart is still a problem.

Bang~

Jiang Ming suddenly knelt down again in front of Zhu Gaoxuan and pleaded:

"Your Highness! The lower officials are not afraid of death! Please ask His Royal Highness to give Xia Guan a cart of skis, and Xia Guan will row back and bring the soldiers of Xi'an Mansion to ski the sled. ”

"Get up, you are afraid of death, and I will fulfill you.

Moreover, Xi'an Mansion has also been helping the king guard those exiles, and the king should have something to repay. ”

Zhu Gaoxuan waved his hand to get Jiang Ming up, and his index finger began to press on his temples again, and thoughts flew in his head.

"Your Highness, it has snowed heavily for nine days, and Xi'an Mansion has been seriously affected, please ask Your Highness to help."

In the hall of the main building of the Liangwang Mansion, Jiang Ming knelt on his knees as soon as he saw Zhu Gaoxuan and bowed down.

Zhu Gaoxuan stretched out his hand, thinking of the words 'mercy is not in charge of soldiers, righteousness is not in charge of wealth', he withdrew his hand again, stood in front of Jiang Ming and said:

"Get up, they're all old acquaintances, don't kneel at every turn, you have something to say."

"Yes!"

Jiang Ming said yes in his mouth, but he didn't stand up and continued to kneel and say:

"It has been snowing since eleven days ago, although Xi'an has been developing in Xi'an for many years, and there is snow every year, and even bigger snow has been seen, but I didn't expect that this year's snow will fall for nine days in a row."

"Despite the heavy snow in the past nine days, although the military and civilians of Xi'an Prefecture have made every effort to clear the snow, nearly 30% of the houses have been crushed, 73 people have been killed, tens of thousands of people have been left homeless, and if the snow continues, more people will freeze to death."

Hearing Jiang Ming's statement, Zhu Gaoxuan realized the seriousness of the matter, but he didn't expect that this heavy snow would cause such a big disaster.

It's November 27th, and it's just the middle of winter, and it's almost certain that it will snow again.

That is, tens of thousands or more people will die in this cold winter!

What's even more terrifying is that there are still a group of exiled prisoners in Ying Tianfu who are being escorted over, and the time is almost up, and there will only be more people who will die this time.

Just when Zhu Gaoxuan was silent, Jiang Ming continued:

"Your Highness, it's not that the lower officials are snooping on His Highness's secrets, but that some information is an open secret.

Xia Guan hoped that His Royal Highness would allocate the materials that had been prepared for those exiled prisoners to Xi'an Mansion to save the people from hanging upside down. ”

"Hmph~ Shut up, that's the king's resources, for whom, the king says!"

Hearing Jiang Ming's request, Zhu Gaoxuan immediately interrupted him with a cold snort.

But Jiang Ming still continued to shout: "Your Highness, those criminals are either corrupt officials and profiteers, or villains who impeached His Highness during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Your Highness doesn't have to prepare any resources for such scum, just let them fend for themselves." ”

This voice spread far away, and the eighteen girls who were training in the small building behind the main building were all trembling, and they were all secretly happy in their hearts.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Liang prepared for their survival needs, and also issued various decrees to make their lives better and better.

If there was no King Liang, but Xi'an Mansion would manage them, I am afraid that these young and beautiful girls would have already become dry bones.

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't think about it so much, he just didn't want to be kidnapped by morality, it was necessary to save Xi'an Mansion, those people were loyal military families and military families of the Ming Dynasty, and they couldn't help it.

But how to save it, he must have the final say.

"Your Highness......"

"Jiang Ming, you go back first, and tell Geng Zhong that this king will go to the rescue of Xi'an Mansion and let him do a good job of reassuring the people."

"Your Royal Highness Xie, can you bring some food and briquettes first......

"This king said, this king~ will arrange it, but you want to force the palace?"

"The lower officials don't dare, the lower officials should be damned!

But please be gracious to Your Highness! ”

"You ......"

Jiang Ming knelt down again and kowtowed heavily, and Zhu Gaoxuan, who was just about to get angry, saw the tears in Jiang Mingtong's red eyes, and held back again.

Taking two deep breaths, he asked again:

"How many feet of snow is outside? How did you get here? ”

"The snow is more than two feet deep, and Xia Guan came here through the snow."

"Hmm~ Come over? You have the perseverance. ”

Hearing that Jiang Ming was able to walk more than sixty miles in two-foot-deep snow, Zhu Gaoxuan was also very impressed, and he wanted to give up his original decision for this perseverance.

However, after all, he comes from modern times, and his reverence for life will not be treated much differently.

The people of Xi'an Mansion must be saved, and those who should be sent by heaven must also be saved.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent a messenger to inform him in advance this time that these exiled prisoners were all guilty of relatively minor crimes, and some of them were reformed and returned to the imperial court to continue to listen to them.

This time he couldn't be as rude as before, so he prepared coal and food, and even prepared a lot more buildings in the exile camp.

But the Xi'an side is obviously more urgent.

"Get up, go to the barracks outside the city with this king, and see what else you can share."

With that, Zhu Gaoxuan turned around and walked out.

When he walked through the small courtyard in front of the main building and walked on the bluestone path in the palace, he noticed that the snow in the palace was swept, and there were people clearing the snow on the roof of the small building in front of him.

No wonder he always thought it wasn't a lot of snow.

"Lord, cloak."

When she walked through the small building and walked to the gate, Xiao Hongmian chased after her from behind, holding a bearskin cloak in her hand, and she was also dressed neatly, obviously wanting to go out together.

"Cotton Tree, don't go out, I'll be back soon."

Xiao Hongmian shook his head and said, "Last time the prince went to Xi'an Mansion, he said the same. ”

"Hehe~ Okay."

Zhu Gaoxuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he didn't refuse, Xiao Hongmian is not a problem that he has seen a person beat him ten today, maybe he can protect him on the road.

Push open the gate of Liangwangfu and walk out, you can see the snow on both sides of the road, more than a foot high, close to half a meter high, and the snow in front of the Liangwangfu is only swept out ten zhang.

"Your Highness, let the subordinate help you over, right?"

Jiang Ming wanted to come over and hold Zhu Gaoxuan's hand as he spoke, but was glared back by Xiao Hongmian.

"Hmph~ No, we have other ways.

Fluttershy, bring our skis. ”

"Yes~"

As Xiao Hongmian's words fell, there were three girls in the Liangwang Mansion behind the three of them, holding three things and walking over.

Skis, relatively delicate skis.

Other Lantian people may be short of planks, and there is no shortage of Liangwangfu that has just been built, and the snow can't get out these days, so Zhu Gaoxuan instructed those girls to make skis out.
