Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1240 A chance for peace?
There is a saying that a raging soldier will be a raging pot.

This sentence is not only used in the military.

Can also be used in places.

How far a local new policy can go and how hard it is to implement it is directly related to the local leader. The attitude of the governor of a state represents the attitude of everyone under the governor's mansion.

After all, anyone who is in the officialdom will guess the mind of his boss. Most of them will do what they like, because this will make their official career go long.

Unless the person already has his own intentions.

Otherwise, many officials who have no political intentions will decide their attitudes in doing things based on the mind of the new chief.

So using the right talent is the key.

The governors of the five prefectures of Bashu have temporarily made up their minds. Next, it depends on whether they can implement the new policy on the local level and completely change the atmosphere of inaction in the local area.

Local development is always linked to policy.

Therefore, the impact of the new policy will be much more serious than imagined. It will sweep every corner of the place and affect every commoner in the Minghou Mansion.

..............................

time flies.

It has been more than half a year since the implementation of the new policy, and the new policy is still being implemented. In the next few years, the politics of the Minghou Mansion will be disputed around this.

But for the time being, the New Deal has gained a firm foothold. Unless there is a particularly big accident, the New Deal will basically not stagnate.

So far, the New Deal has been a success.

Only after the test of time will we know whether the New Deal has brought happiness or disaster to the people.

July and August are the rainy season.

There is more rain this year.

Many places in Jingzhou have burst dikes, flooding a lot of farmland and houses, and destroying many official roads. Not to mention the economic losses, the reported casualties alone are as many as hundreds of people.

"Flood prevention is a subjective idea, I have said it many times!"

At the meeting in Zhaoming Pavilion, Mu Jing was spitting and flying, and his hysterical voice kept echoing: "But now, there are still so many mistakes, we have to wait until the flood comes, and then worry about it. The casualties have already been caused. Make up, one life, one family, what is destroyed is not one person, but a family, what kind of parents are they!"

"My lord, I am responsible for this matter!"

Liu Jin stood up and pleaded guilty: "Last year we made arrangements for flood control in advance, but this year because of the new policy, I delayed the progress here, and many things were not explained in time!"

With the implementation of the New Deal, things are busy, but many original things have been delayed.

"If pleading guilty is useful, what else does Dali Temple need to do? Talking about it now is of no use at all!"

Mu Jing patted the desk and said, "Tell me something valuable!"

"My lord, the flood has already happened, and there is no point in pursuing it. At present, we still need to make preparations for disaster relief. Jingzhou surrendered last year, and this year it is implementing a new policy. Now that it suddenly encounters such a natural disaster, I am afraid that people will panic. Being used by people with a heart!"

Hu Zhao said.

"Cai Shenzheng is still in Jingzhou, give him an imperial edict, make him the minister of disaster relief, and send Jingping Ling to him, see the order as if you see me, if you don't follow, kill first and then play!"

Mu Jing said forcefully.

Cai Yong is the Minister of Political Affairs, and the power of the Minister of Political Participation is in Zhaoming Pavilion. In fact, he has no power in the local area. With Jingping Order, that is the real power in Jingxiang.

"promise!"

Huo Yu sent out the Jingping Order and the imperial edict together.

"What is the current disaster situation in Bashu?"

"It's not a big problem. Since we took control of Hanzhong, we have not only worked hard on building roads, but also on water conservancy. The terrain of Bashu itself is quite straight, unless it is a once-in-a-century Floods, otherwise we would rarely be involved here!"

Qin Song answered Mu Jing.

As a land of abundance, Bashu has its own geographical advantages. It can become a first-class granary in the world. Not to mention the climate and soil, first of all, it is rich in water resources and there are few such natural disasters.

"Under Minghou's mansion, we are all one family!"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said to Qin Song: "Father Heng, you should prepare to open a warehouse from Bashu and transport grain to Jingxiang. I can't stop natural disasters, but I have to take care of man-made disasters. I can't let a person starve to death, right?" The goal of our Minghou Mansion's disaster relief this time!"

"promise!"

"At the same time, order the medical department and the medical office to immediately send doctors to the disaster area. History will always tell us that after a catastrophe, the plague will be rampant, and prevention is the priority!" Mu Jing once wrote an article for the medical office to prevent post-disaster plagues Later, Zhang Zhongjing saw this article, regarded it as a heavenly book, and promoted it in the medical department. In this regard, both the medical department and the medical department should be prepared.

"promise!"

"As for the place!"

Mu Jing turned his heart to Xi Zhicai and said: "Let Zhuge Liang and Zhou Cang raise the troops and deploy the troops, and order the other six gates. Anyone who disrupts the order and kills wrongly will not be let go!"

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai came down from Baidi Mountain when the situation of the New Deal was somewhat stable, and is now presiding over the issue of the Northwest Campaign.

"Dismiss!"

Before Mu Jing patted the desk, he said calmly.

The crowd came out.

Hu Zhao stayed behind.

Naturally, he had something to discuss with Mu Jing.

"The news that Jing Wusi sent back this morning was delivered directly!" Hu Zhao handed a piece of paper in his hand to Mu Jing.

This is the translated document.

Jingwu Division has classified messages, which are all transmitted through codes.

"Is it serious on Jiangdong?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"There are many rivers and rivers in Jiangdong, and the waters are criss-crossing. Moreover, it is the lower reaches of the river. Jingxiang has suffered a lot. How can Jiangdong be better off? I am afraid that this year's flood disaster will be so violent!"

Hu Zhao said.

"What do you want to say?"

"Peace!"

Hu Zhao is naturally not concerned about the disaster in Jiangdong. Although he is not a cold-blooded person, Jiangdong and the Minghou Mansion are enemies, and it is impossible for him to take pity on the enemy. For others, this matter is just a disaster, but for Hu Zhao , is a matter of the overall situation.

"Reconciliation?"

Mujing sneered: "Is it necessary?"

"Of course there is!"

Hu Zhao explained: "My lord, first of all, our strategic deployment has never been to take Jiangdong as the first. There are many rivers and rivers in Jiangdong, and the water army is criss-crossed. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Fighting down is also a matter of blood flowing into rivers, and they can rely on the navy to retreat step by step, drag us to death on the battlefield, and let us lose more than we gain!"

In history, Liu Bei conquered Soochow, but Lu Xun retreated step by step. After stretching the battle line, he used the force of the navy to open up the road along the river and directly set fire to the company camp.

With Jiangdong's advantage over the navy, he can do a lot of things. The simultaneous advancement of water and land can give Jiangdong a solid protection in defense.

Therefore, the strategic deployment of the Minghou Mansion has always been inclined to go to the Central Plains first, then attack the North, and finally take Jiangdong.

"But if we want to send troops to the Central Plains, then the relationship between neighbors must be well managed, even if it's just to save face on the surface, it must be decent!"

Hu Zhao continued: "The relationship between us and Jiangdong was too tense before, and now is the time to relax!"

"Jiangdong formed an alliance with us at the beginning, but turned around and tore up the alliance, which almost made Xi Zhicai hate the battlefield in Jingzhou. I don't believe in the relationship brought by the alliance!"

Mu Jing said: "If they want to attack us, they will still attack sooner or later. The troops that should be guarded against must be guarded against!"

"I didn't say, don't guard against them!"

Hu Zhao said in a deep voice: "Of course I know that they are not trustworthy, but to put it bluntly, my lord, if you are given a chance, will you take into account the covenant, or take a chance to get into the belly of our Minghou mansion and ask for it?" It's not that the lord sent his army back to the army, I'm afraid that Sun Bofu's army has already approached Jiangzhou, we gave them a chance, and we can't blame them!"

There has never been so-called sincerity between a group of princes and another group of princes, only interests. If benefits come, let alone a covenant, it is useless if the king of heaven comes.

"It is!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, if he stood in Jiangdong's position, he would probably make the same choice. Sun Ce did the right thing, a Jiangxia still didn't succeed, he could only watch and touch something that couldn't be compared with straight It is even more tempting to smash Huanglong and take down the entire Southwest. What violates the covenant? The covenant has never been able to restrain people.

"Since you know that we have irreconcilable interests with Jiangdong, then you still negotiate with them. Is it useful to negotiate a peace? You are still an enemy. When the time comes, another covenant will not be taken seriously. It's just superfluous!"

Mu Jing was puzzled.

"I said it!" Hu Zhaodao: "Even in face, we have shown peace with Jiangdong. Once we attack the Central Plains, if we don't win over Jiangdong, others will. And..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his pupils flickered with shrewd calculations: "Jiangdong is now in the Shuizawa area, and the people are suffering from disasters. The Sun regime is in a critical juncture, half dead, but don't even think about killing them with a stick. If they are sick at this time , and sending troops to attack, I am afraid it will be counterproductive and cause them to fight back hard. Say, it’s not necessarily a bad thing!”

"Sell favors?"

Mu Jing is now interested.

In the case of Jingxiang, Bashu rescue is needed, otherwise people will starve to death, and Jiangdong will suffer even more, and it will be even more sad. At this time, Jiangdong must be caught in the problem of food and grass.

Favors can be sold.

There is a saying, Hu Zhao is right, if you want to take advantage of this opportunity and take advantage of his illness to kill him, not only will you lose his life, but it will also cause Jiangdong's people to fight back.

At that time, the Minghou Mansion will not be able to eat foxes, and it will make him feel all over the place.

"I'm afraid that Sun Wentai won't dare to accept my favor!" Mu Jing thought for a while and said.

"Whether he accepts it depends on Sun Wentai's courage!"

Hu Zhao shrugged: "He has the right to choose. He bows his head on the one hand, and the people of Jiangdong on the other. How he chooses is his own problem, but for us, it's all good!"

"that's right!"

Mu Jing acted resolutely: "Come here, invite me the Yiji from Honglu Division immediately!"

..........................................

Jiangdong.

No one expected that this year's rainfall would be so terrible. Many places in Jiangdong have been flooded into a swamp country, flooded farmland, collapsed houses, and countless people affected by the disaster.

Natural disasters are worse than man-made disasters.

There are degrees of man-made disasters, but natural disasters are always ruthless.

Wuhou's Mansion has fallen into turmoil.

"The breach of the embankment of Poyang Lake must be handled properly, and the first priority is to save the people!"

"Tell the people over there in Wu County to keep an eye on the Qiantang River!"

"Over there at Kuaiji, transport as much food as possible to the north!"

Sun Jian knelt and sat on the high seat, with a gloomy face that could drip water. No one thought that the natural disaster was so fierce that it suddenly plunged Jiangdong into the wind and rain.

"Father, people's hearts are disturbed, how can I calm down?"

Sun Ce stood up and asked with cupped hands.

"Zibu, what do you think?" Sun Jian lost most of his skills in the battle of Xiling, and his body was also a lot weaker, but his new mind was much more mature. In the past, he valued generals, but when he came back from Xiling, he began to vigorously promote him. Wen Chen.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu.

Now Jiangdong's first adviser.

He is different from Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu is good at military strategy, but Zhang Zibu is indeed the backbone of the stability of the Jiangdong regime. Sun Jian and Sun Ce often go to war, and Zhang Zhao usually handles the logistics.

The world heard that there were Hu Zhao and Hu Kongming in the residence of Marquis of Ming, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu in the residence of Marquis of Wu in Jiangdong, and the two Zhaos in the world stood side by side.

"My lord, the eldest son is right to be worried. The natural disaster is severe and the manpower is humble, but the people are fate. After all, they are the foundation of our Jiangdong. No matter how great the natural disaster is, it is not as big as the hearts of the people!"

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands in salute, and then Shi Shiran said: "If people's hearts are in chaos, Jiangdong will be in chaos!"

"How can we appease the people?"

Sun Jian asked.

"My lord is supposed to walk around to calm the hearts of the people, but now that Jianye is here, my lord must not leave even half a step. Under natural disasters, there will be people hiding evil intentions. My lord's body is in danger of my Jiangdong, and I must not move!"

Zhang Zhao thought about it and said.

"Then I will travel around on behalf of my father to appease the people!"

Sun Ce asked for orders.

"No!"

Another man stood up, Jiangdong Shuangzhang, one was Zhang Zhao, and the other was Zhang Hong. They were both Jiangdong Wushuang's counselors, and they were highly valued by Sun Jian.

Zhang Hong clasped his hands and said, "My lord, Jiangdong is stable. The eldest son must sit in the army. If the place is in chaos, we can still make peace. If there is a problem in the army, I am afraid that there will be no peace in Jiangdong!"

"Can you go to Xiaotai?" Sun Jian asked.

Sun Jing, Sun Youtai, and Sun Jian's younger brother are also allowed to represent Sun Jian.

"insufficient!"

Zhang Zhao thought for a while and said, "General Sun alone can't make the people feel completely at ease. It might be better if the second son can follow him!"

The eldest son, Sun Ce, and the second son, Sun Quan.

"Zhongmou?"

Sun Jian glanced at Sun Ce.

"Second brother is very good!" Sun Ce cupped his hands and said, "I can't move now, so my second brother can take the place of my father and travel all over the east of the river to appease the people. This is the peace of Jiangdong!"

"it is good!"

Sun Jian also agreed: "Decree, order Sun Jing and Sun Quan to hold my ancient ingot sword and inspect the disaster situation in Jiangdong on behalf of my Wuhou Mansion, and have the right to make a judgment!"

"promise!"

Immediately someone drafted an imperial edict and issued an order.

"My lord, there is one more question!"

"Is it food?"

Sun Jian's brain hurts, nothing can compare to the difficulty of insufficient food and grass.
