Chapter 918: Disaster Relief Mobilization

Jingzhou was hit by floods, and Wu Changqing's preparations in advance suddenly seemed extremely wise.

However, Wu Changqing glared at the people who tried to flatter in this regard.

At this time, disaster relief is the top priority.

If you want to flatter, you have to wait until after the disaster. Choosing to flatter at this time is tantamount to shooting a horse's hoof.

When the others saw this, they quickly put away their minds and rushed into the disaster relief work wholeheartedly.

The telegram rushed to Nanjing, and the prepared relief supplies were immediately loaded on board and shipped to Jingzhou.

At this time, the sooner it comes, the smaller the loss caused by the disaster.

In addition to Nanjing, other materials such as Wuhan and Jiujiang are also being sent to Jingzhou.

At the same time, the Wuhan garrison is also rushing to Jingzhou.

Let the army participate in disaster relief, Wu Changqing wonders if this is the first time in history.

However, this should be the largest and fastest one.

When the military received the order, they immediately rushed in without stopping.

These troops stationed in Dahua have been far away from the war, and it is difficult to get them on the battlefield in turn.

I have a high salary on weekdays and I have nothing to do. After all, the court was able to use them, and the whole army was very active.

On the one hand, they want to show themselves to the court and take credit by the way. On the other hand, they are also eager to go to disaster relief.

Most of these soldiers come from poor families, and they empathize with the suffering of the people at the bottom.

The whole army first arrived in Yueyang and was personally received by Wu Changqing.

After the disaster appeared, Wu Changqing came to Yueyang from Changsha. He was on the front line, and Yueyang was also likely to suffer from disasters at any time.

Wu Changqing personally mobilized the entire army and asked them to perform their duties as soldiers.

The duty of soldiers is to defend their homes and the country, which includes destroying the enemy and protecting the people.

Flood is also a kind of enemy.

Subsequently, the 13th Division rushed to Jingzhou to help the people evacuate, rescue those trapped by the flood, and temporarily build embankments to protect some places that are easily threatened by floods.

There are many things that need to be done, and the 13th division alone is not enough. Wu Changqing also mobilized the surrounding local defenders.

The number of troops participating in flood fighting and rescue this time is expected to reach 60,000, which is quite large.

On June 21st, the 13th Division rushed to the disaster area.

What catches the eye is the gathering of victims on a hillside, with thousands of people.

These people have been trapped on the hillside, and there is no life-threatening for the time being, but it is hard to tell as the water level rises.

Moreover, those hillsides must have no food or anything to keep warm for the night.

The Thirteenth Division immediately divided its troops into several routes, one of which was to search for the victims who were alone, and the other by ships to help transfer these victims.

The other way is to prepare sandbags and build temporary dams where necessary to avoid greater losses.

Seeing the soldiers rowing over, some people on the hillside cried with joy.

Although they evacuated to the hillside in time, it would be difficult for them to survive if no one came to rescue them.

After all, the flood is not going to pass in a day or two, basically it will last for a long time.

Staying on this hillside, being cold and hungry, and worrying about being submerged, these people are under great psychological pressure.

During the retreat, some people who failed to save their loved ones for various reasons even cried bitterly on this hillside.

"It's better for Dahua, come to rescue us so soon. How could it be so fast before we changed."

"Old man Liu, you might think too much. How could the previous courts come to save people? They only waited for the flood to recede on their own, and those who couldn't survive it died."

"I heard those soldiers say that there is a canteen in the city. We will have food and a place to live as soon as we pass by."

The people on the boat were talking, and they were excited again when they heard that there was still food to eat.

This flood destroyed almost all of their property, and there was only time to take away some of them.

Originally, they thought that they would use these soft foods for food, but they never expected that there would be free food.

In previous dynasties, the price of food would rise immediately in the event of a disaster.

Those unscrupulous businessmen just waited for this kind of opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Soldier, is this really the case?"

One of the people asked.

In his worldview, the court could not be so reliable, and soldiers and bandits could not be so good.

"What's weird about this, the several large granaries in Nanjing are already full. We Dahua, there is no shortage of food at all. Moreover, Your Majesty has already counted on it. Even if it gets here, floods will be flooded, so I have already let people go. Bring the food here."

Said the soldier.

"Your Majesty is really the emperor of the dragon, and he will pinch his fingers."

"But, isn't it the East China Sea Dragon King who cares about the rain? It's the same dragon. Why doesn't your Majesty the Dragon King care if it rains in disorder?"

"The Dragon King must be wrong. Your Majesty should let the Dragon King rain the rain to those places where water is scarce."

......

All kinds of ridiculous speeches on the boat were endless, but it didn't matter, they all thanked the emperor for it, and threw their grievances on the Dragon King of East China Sea.

The people in boats were sent to the city, and the local officials here were ready to settle properly.

The county magistrate who usually stands aloft, at this time personally went to the front line after busying, the official uniform was stained with mud, and he ignored it.

The emperor is not far from Yueyang, they dare not worry about it.

Moreover, this is also a very good performance opportunity.

Usually, local officials like them have no chance to be seen by the emperor, even if they have made political achievements, it is only a dry sentence in Wu Changqing's eyes.

And now, their work can finally be seen by the emperor.

It would be wonderful if he could take this opportunity to impress the emperor with being capable of doing things.

Therefore, these local officials were very active in fighting the floods this time.

Let alone these local officials, even the rich local people want to take this opportunity to show off.

Although it is impossible for them to be promoted, as long as they are praised by the emperor, their status and status in the future will be different.

When others want to deal with them, they can all say that the emperor once boasted himself and was full of deterrence.

When officials, the army, and the wealthy began to actively respond to the disaster, their social mobilization capabilities were fully explored. They found that the original flood disaster was not that terrible, and the disaster relief was actually quite simple.

You only need to arrange food and accommodation for the victims, and then recruit some young men to fight floods and build dikes.

The main reason why previous disasters seemed terrible was that no one was willing to pay for the rescue. Of course, Dahua's current abundance of materials is also one of the reasons.
