Chapter 335 People's Hearts
Tens of thousands of troops are helping Changsha Mansion to fight floods and provide disaster relief. Hundreds of military police members are constantly patrolling. In just three days, hundreds of people were killed. This shows that without some testing, no matter how obedient you are on weekdays,
It's just an appearance.
Li Jia needs these soldiers to have military discipline engraved in their bones. Even if they die, they must die outside of military discipline and rules. They must not trample on military regulations, so that the majesty of the gendarmerie can spread from top to bottom, like a forbidden army.
So the question is, what are the specific standards?
The standard is very simple. There is a pile of gold and silver in front of you. If you are asked to evacuate, you have to evacuate; there are swords and arrows in front of you, and the ground is full of traps, but if you are asked to go forward, you have to go.
Moreover, is this an exercise in military discipline or an important move to integrate into the Hunan people? The army came to help you repair the river. Are you touched? This was impossible before. We are the king's division. It's different...
Wouldn't it be foolish to just do things without publicity? Li Jia immediately arranged for the Sound Department to publicize Master Wang's important actions. By the way, he boasted about words such as "the wise king is alive and loves the people", and they were thrown out for free.
"I never thought that the emperor would be so courageous!" Li Huaien, the governor of Langzhou, was shocked when he heard the news. He used troops to build river embankments, and they were elite troops. This is a strange story.
"Did the emperor's army rebel? In the past few decades, it has been repeated one after another?" His father-in-law was also amazed.
"No matter what, in short, it is now rumored among the people that the emperor sent his beloved troops to build rivers and build houses for the people, and he is very famous!" Zhang Huai'en sighed. He already understood the meaning of the emperor's actions. It was indeed a good means.
.
This heavy rainstorm lasted for more than ten days, creating more than 3,000 refugees in Changsha Prefecture alone. News also came from other states. After some rough statistics, there were more than 3,000 refugees who had lost their homes in Hunan.
Altogether, there are almost ten thousand people.
However, the good news is that there are not many people who have lost all their property. They still have some extravagant wealth, but judging from the skyrocketing food prices, they will not be able to hold on for long.
"How ruthless God is -" Looking at the refugees in front of him, Zhang Wanghai was wearing a raincoat and couldn't help but sigh. The navy soldiers in his heart were the best fishermen on the shores of Dongting Lake, not these farmers who knew a little about water.
"Military leader, the county magistrate came to report that there are about a thousand refugees outside Yiyang City, which is already the largest group in Changsha Prefecture!" The subordinates came to report, obviously not understanding his mood, and what he said made Zhang Wanghai excited.
The mood became even worse.
"A bunch of mud-legged people, bah! They don't know much about boats." His face became more and more resentful. The emperor's thoughts were really unpredictable, but as soon as he said the words, he suddenly thought that the emperor had a man named Shengsi.
Wouldn't it be bad if someone from the yamen who specializes in inquiring into privacy told the emperor about his dissatisfaction?
"Go and recruit three hundred people. Choose those with families. It doesn't matter if they are thinner. We have plenty of fish in Dongting Lake, so we can raise them well!" He raised his waist and remembered the emperor's words, and said in a pretentious manner.
However, it would be better to have more people, as it can save some energy. The brothers are almost exhausted from fishing every day, so it is just a good time to take over and take a rest.
"Nuo——" The soldiers agreed quickly, then put up the navy flag, built a wooden shed, and started shouting: "Dongting Navy is recruiting people, taking care of food, food and housing. Three hundred dollars a month, quick."
Come on, first come first served!”
The place where the refugees are located is extremely muddy, with excrement mixed with garbage and grass roots. Some little kids have not come out because of the rain and are afraid of the wind and cold, otherwise it would be even more terrible. Zhang Wanghai is sitting on the hillside nearby, not moving at all, watching
Recruiting your own soldiers.
Soon, the first thing I noticed were some idle little kids. Even if it was raining heavily, they were still wearing only shorts and looking around naked. They seemed to find it interesting, so they shouted, and for a while,
The simple sheds made of straw and wooden sticks instantly became lively.
The sounds of children shouting, women crying, men roaring, old people wailing, and dogs barking instantly made this refugee area noisy.
Ge Erniu was fishing in the nearby river with several neighbors, using fishing nets woven from burlap to continue fishing operations. However, over the past few days, the crazy fishing by thousands of people has depleted this section of the river.
After a whole morning of hard work, there were just a few fish. After all, it was not Dongting Lake.
"Let's go to Dongting Lake. There are too few fish here. These few fish are not enough to make soup!" Ge Erniu sighed and said helplessly.
"Brother Erniu, we don't have a boat. Dongting Lake is much deeper than the river. It's useless for us to go!" said the companion on the side.
"Are we just waiting here to die?" Ge Erdan clenched his fists, feeling very worried. His family's fields and houses were washed away by the flood, leaving only a family of four barely surviving. Now they have no other options.
Eating fish is really full of pain.
Looking to the court, the county magistrate said that the two armies fought recently and the grain depot was out of grain. Now the Yamen only has grain seeds, and they have to prepare for next year.
"Let's go back. We haven't eaten at home for a long time. Let's share one piece each and try again in the afternoon." As the boss, Ge Erniu said directly, and everyone obeyed.
Carrying a palm-sized fish, Ge Erniu wandered home. At this time, he suddenly discovered that a flag had suddenly been raised. It was already wet under the heavy rain, but it was still fluttering stubbornly. Although it looked more like
It was a wooden stick shaking, but he was full of surprises.
Because he heard that the Dongting Lake Navy was recruiting troops, and being a soldier and eating food was definitely a good choice.
When he went there, there was already a long queue, and he was a little anxious, fearing that it would be full, and in this case, he would really be in a desperate situation.
"Name?"
"Ge Erniu!"
"age"
"twenty-three"
"How many people are in the family?"
"Four, wife and two sons!"
"Okay, you're admitted!" He answered the military master's question carefully. Just when he was curious, unexpectedly, he was admitted.
Hearing the news, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and the family finally survived.
The people around were equally happy. Most of them were recorded, and then they were going to take a boat to Dongting Lake. I heard that there were so many fish there that I couldn’t eat them all.
In less than two hours, three hundred people had been recruited. Zhang Wanghai couldn't help but sigh:
"Recruiting 1,500 people, now there are 1,100 people, and there are still 400 to go. Is it possible to go to Yongzhou?"
"The refugees outside the city have finally dispersed. It's a great kindness. Your Majesty has such a good idea!" The Yiyang County Magistrate climbed onto the tower and sighed. He finally recovered. He really admired the young emperor's methods and spent some money.
Silver has caused great trouble for Hunan and has become famous.
