Chapter 310: Stalemate
Yu Dayi, Huazhu County Order.
At the age of thirty-two, he was born as a jinshi.
Legend has it that law enforcement is fair, diligent, has never made a big mistake, is not an unwise person, and it is normal to have this move.
Liang Qu asked, "Which township did Yuzhi County go to?" ”
Chaishiqiao sweated on his forehead: "Xiaguan is embarrassed, Yuzhi County has not told Xiaguan the itinerary of the fleet before, but according to the current distribution of villagers, I dare to guess that it should be in the area of Xiangxi Town, because the victims in that area have not come much." ”
The beam canal points to the Yellow Mountain.
"Are all the victims in the mountains?"
Chai Shiqiao said: "Only part of it, Yuzhi County has divided many settlement points, Huangshan is just one of them, Lord Yu is worried that the flood water level will continue to rise, so let all the people gather in the high ground, regardless of whether the local disaster is serious or not." ”
Liang Qu took out the map and found Xiangxi Town, which is not far from Huangshan and has plenty of time.
"I'm going up there and have a look."
"Of course, of course." Chai Shiqiao dusted off his sleeves, gave way to the road, and bowed down to accompany him, "I don't know the name of the adult yet......
"My official's surname is Liang."
Liang Qu pulled out the waist card on his waist.
The night watchman gathered his torches.
Chai Shiqiao took a cursory look at it and returned it respectfully.
Official uniforms are easy to forge, dragon-blooded horses are not easy, and the current inspection is just a process.
Without delay, the group turned around and headed up the hill.
At this moment, Lu Xinqing staggered over, supported his knees with his hands, and ran out of breath.
Raushzi's dragon blood horse is very powerful, and he is a four-level martial artist who is stunned and can't catch up.
Chai Shiqiao was surprised: "Brother Ren is ......"
Liang channel: "Water bandits, blocking the road to rob my boat, catch me and lead the way." ”
Chai Shiqiao's face turned red: "I'm very ashamed, Huazhu County is now full of water bandits, but the Heishui River is turbulent and stretches on both sides, and it is not easy for us to deal with it, so that Lord Liang is affected." ”
"Okay, there is no need to say polite words, the water bandits are a trivial matter, the top priority is to deal with the flood, take me up quickly!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Chai Shiqiao hurriedly led Liang Qu up the mountain, "Do you want to send someone to call them all up?" ”
"No need, if I come to set up a fight, I should call you directly under the mountain."
"Lord Liang is really diligent and serves the people, and the officials are ashamed."
Lu Xinqing gasped and looked at the Chai Shiqiao and sneered.
He was the leader of the bandits, and his subordinates complimented him like this.
Sycophants.
The camp on the Yellow Mountain is densely packed, and most of the marching tents are lived, and occasionally you can see a few bonfires burning under the wooden planks.
Snoring could also be heard after passing through a few tents.
Several night watchmen took the initiative to say hello when they saw Chai Shiqiao.
Liang Qu looked over one by one.
There is a persistent stench in the air, most of which comes from excrement.
When the tent was lifted, the smell of sweat, feet gushed out, and there was a rancid smell that had been soaked in water for a long time.
Many people did not fall asleep at all, snuggled up to each other and sat beside each other, their faces were sallow, and the whole showed a state of malaise, and some kept shivering.
It's late August, early September, and it's not cold, it's hot, but they're still shivering.
A couple hugged two children who were breathing heavily and their faces were red, and whispered comfort.
Liang Qu glanced around, saw the other families in the corner, and lowered the curtain.
No one knew that not long after Liang Qu and the others left, the man holding the child in the military tent touched the boy's forehead with a look of surprise.
"me, let's see if the fever is gone?"
The woman on the side hurriedly stretched out her hand, repeatedly experienced it between herself and the boy's forehead, and then touched another little girl, overjoyed.
"All fever, all fever! God forbid! Blessed by the river gods! ”
The two men who were asleep on the other side, their heavy breathing gradually became stable and comfortable.
Similar things happen from time to time in other military tents.
An invisible force is dispersing the aura of the epidemic that envelops the Yellow Mountain.
Liang Qu probed the situation of the victims, drove away the water plague, and Chai Shiqiao was also carefully looking at Liang Qu.
The more I looked, the more young I felt, and I was only about twenty years old, and I was actually riding a long-scaled dragon's blood horse, and the official residence was seven grades!
There must be a big background!
Chai Shiqiao's expression became more and more respectful.
"How many people are currently on the entire Yellow Mountain? Have you ever counted casualties? What about the extent of the disaster? ”
"There are currently more than 28,000 people in the entire Huangshan Mountain, mostly from the nearby two towns and three townships, and it is difficult to get a specific number of specific casualties, so we can only roughly calculate that there are more than 8,000 ......."
Lu Xinqing was taken aback: "So much? ”
Chai Shiqiao glanced back with disdain, did not answer the other party, and continued: "More than eighty percent of the land boundary in Huazhu County has been flooded, and the surrounding two counties have also been affected, and Jiangling County is also very serious. ”
More than 8,000 ......
Liang Qu knew that the other party was not exaggerating.
The still water formed by the slow rise of the river allows people to walk in it even if the water is not deeper than their chest.
But if it is a relatively turbulent flood, it only takes half a foot to knock people down, and once they fall, the probability of getting up again is extremely low.
And the real number is most likely higher than eight thousand.
Liang Qu saw in the "General Examination of Building Embankments" that when the great cadres of the former dynasty were defeated and retreated, they once sent ten great martial artists to the city to open the Huangsha Hippo Jiakou embankment near the city.
As a result, the Huangsha River rushed straight into the city, killing 840,000 people in the city, and only more than 60,000 people survived.
"Tens of thousands of dead people a day!"
In just a few days, the mortality rate is more than a horrific ninety percent!
Liang Qu went all the way to the depths.
"How's the food going?"
"It is not optimistic, the current situation, although we have sent people to dig up grain in the surrounding area, but most of them are soaked in water, and what can be eaten can only last less than five days, and there are often predators in the water, and the manpower is very tight."
"Is excretion centrally treated?"
"Excretion? No, we didn't build public toilets, and we left them to the victims to deal with them themselves. ”
The firewood and stone bridge is inexplicable, what is the use of dealing with excretion at the moment, autumn ploughing is completely useless.
"There is an epidemic gas in the excretion, and it is easy to spread the plague if it is disposed of at will, so it should be buried under the soil."
"Is that true?"
Liang Qu glanced at Chai Shiqiao: "Do what I say, do you need me to explain?" ”
"The lower officials don't dare! In the future, we will definitely assign people to handle excretion. ”
Shibashi lowered his head.
Liang Qu continued forward.
That's the advantage of a high official position.
"Do you know the cause of this flood?"
"Xia Guan didn't know that when the flood came, Xia Guan was eating at home, so he was called by the magistrate to come and settle the victims."
There is no such thing as a "void of heart".
The ear recognition method told Liang Qu that Chai Shiqiao was not lying.
"Is there a map of the damage?"
"Yes!"
"Give me one."
"Wait a minute, sir."
In a moment, Liang Qu had an extra rough map in his hand, he glanced at it, and put it in his arms.
The map is a strategic material, and if it is not for the high location of the beam canal, it is impossible to get it easily.
Waiting for Liang Qu to swing around on the Yellow Mountain, confirming that his water repellent should all be affected, he gave a few words to Chai Shiqiao, rode up the Red Mountain and left in a hurry, heading towards Xiangxi Town.
At about five o'clock, less than ten o'clock, the boat rushed to the boundary of Xiangxi Town.
Without going too deep, Ah Wei was the first to find the fleet mentioned by Chai Shiqiao in mid-air.
More than a dozen large ships live in the middle, and hundreds of fishing boats surround the big boats, stretching into a vast fleet, and the stars are faint.
A few people standing on rooftops to take shelter from the flood are getting onto the boat with the help of fishermen.
Liang Qu glanced at it, and finally found the target of this trip on the bow of a big ship - Yu Dayi!
However, the fleet is in some trouble at the moment.
A water beast with black scales is infesting the fleet, and several warriors are spreading their nets to confront each other.
The water beast was fierce, and the martial artist did not dare to rush into the water, and he was worried that the water beast would break through the encirclement, and a stalemate situation was formed for a while.
