Daming heir

Chapter 494

Before coming to Fengyang City in the central capital.

Liu Zongsheng has already gone through careful deduction and has prepared various forces.

Leveraging the wealth in the hands of Shanxi merchants, corrupting the castrated eunuchs in the imperial city of Zhongdu, and thus pulling Zhu Yunqi, the grandson of the clan emperor deposed by Zhu Yuanzhang, into the chessboard.

Just take Zhu Yunwen away this time and take him to the north.

At that time, the believers of the Holy Church will be gathered to equip an insurgent army with the money accumulated by the Shanxi merchants and the Holy Church over the years, and they only need to capture one or two Nine Border Passes.

Release the news outside the pass, attracting those Yuan people to go south.

The court is bound to be in chaos inside and outside.

And with people from the Yuan Dynasty attracting the attention of the Ming court, the Holy Cult can continue to hide in places and continue to create disturbances.

As long as there is enough chaos in the local area, those local gentry who have long been resentful because of the Hongwu New Deal of the Ming court will see the chaos and see an opportunity to take advantage of.

At that time, it was the time when the Holy Cult truly regained the world.

King Han Ming has been in his hands for more than ten years, and Zhu Yunqi will be added in the future.

Liu Zongsheng couldn't think of any reason why he couldn't complete the career his father dreamed of 30 years ago.

The Zhu family has been emperor for nearly 30 years.

Now, it's time to go to Liu's house and sit on the dragon chair!

The crowd walked along the Haoshui River to the Haoshui Bridge.

Turned a few river bends.

far.

Liu Zongsheng saw on the shore, a man was holding hands with a woman, walking slowly on the flowers and grass on the shore.

A smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Originally, he was planning to take Zhu Ming's child out of the city, and Fengyang opened the city, so he sneaked into Fengyang City with his people and took a lot of trouble to rob Zhu Yunqi from the imperial city of Zhongdu.

Now I am drowsy and have a pillow.

It turned out that Zhu Yunzheng sent it to the door by himself.

Seeing the congregation hiding in the dark nearby, Liu Zongsheng confirmed that the two were Zhu Yunwen and his wife.

He immediately quickened his pace.

Ahead, Zhu Yunwen was talking to Qiuniang about the love between husband and wife, what happened to Qiujing around Haoshui was the least important thing at this moment.

Qiuniang's face was ruddy, her eyes shy.

His eyes avoided the hot gaze of his own Erlang, but he saw the crowd walking quickly in front of him while moving.

Qiuniang felt uneasy for no reason, and gently tugged at Zhu Yunwen's sleeve: "Erlang, someone is coming."

Hearing the sound, Zhu Yunwen put away the love words in his mouth, and turned his head to follow Qiuniang's gaze.

At this moment, Liu Zongsheng and the others had already arrived.

Before Zhu Yunwen could speak.

Liu Zongsheng waved his hand violently.

"Go!"

The members of the White Lotus Cult who were beside him immediately rushed to surround him.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Yunwen and Qiuniang had already been detained.

Zhu Yunwen's face changed drastically: "You are..."

"gag!"

Liu Zongsheng gave another low drink.

Zhu Yunwen, who had just opened his mouth, was stuffed with rags, and Qiuniang who was beside him was also treated in the same way.

At this time, Liu Zongsheng looked around quickly.

Fortunately, Fengyang City was closed yesterday, and the people never went out.And now it's late autumn, it's not a busy season for farming, and there are no idle people in the wild.

King Han Ming suppressed the inexplicable excitement in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Take people and go!"

The crowd surrounded Zhu Yunwen and Qiu Niang, whose eyes were wide open and who were constantly trying to break free, and they retreated from the bank of Haoshui like the wind under their feet.

Zhu Yunwen's heart was beating so violently that he didn't notice the rag in his mouth that smelled like salted fish.

Who are these people?

The first question popped up in his mind.

Zhu Yunwen turned his head and looked to the side, sobbing constantly. Qiuniang, who had already shed tears, was furious in her heart, but her eyes kept encouraging and comforting Qiuniang to keep calm.

These people didn't hurt others immediately, which means that at least for the time being, their lives and Qiuniang's are not in danger.

Ask for money?

In this world, it is better to just sneak into the homes of wealthy businessmen and gentry at night, put a few knives around their necks, and those people will immediately donate countless money obediently.

In just such a moment, Zhu Yunqi had already thought of which families could be robbed in Fengyang City, except for the Ming Dynasty meritorious families with general guards.

Neither harm nor money.

The group of people around must have big plans.

And myself...

These people must be members of the White Lotus Sect!
Finally, Zhu Yunqi reacted in a panic.

Then he calmed down completely, hummed in his throat, and gave Qiuniang a look that nothing happened.

And Zhu Yunzheng also shook his arm that was held by the White Lotus Sect disciples around him. Under the warning eyes of the other party, he followed the footsteps of these people calmly.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Liu Zongsheng and Han Mingwang who were walking in front with a gloomy gaze.

He knew very well that these two people must be the leaders of these people.

But this time, he was hijacked by these White Lotus Sect members.

perhaps……

I can do something more meaningful than donating the 30 taels of property.

……

Ten days ago.

The Yellow River is in the river section of Henan Province.

For the imperial court, the major event of river regulation has already been fully launched.

With the national policy of river governance determined by the imperial court, countless money and food were transported from all sides to the river governor's yamen located in Henan Road.

On both sides of the river, hundreds of thousands of people were expropriated to participate in the river control project.

Hundreds of thousands of river control materials covered the livelihood of nearly one million people and were transported from Henan Road and its surrounding areas.

Lanyang County.

As the place where the Yellow River collapsed at the beginning, it was only a county, and Pan Deshan, the governor of the river channel and the governor of Yamen, arranged tens of thousands of people.

The two breaches in Lanyang County had already been completely blocked and reinforced by the Minfu river workers.

In Lanyang County, the Yellow River is being re-consolidated on both sides of the river course that turns from west to east to southeast.

And in the entire Yellow River channel.

From the upper reaches of Shanzhou City to the lower reaches of Huai'an Prefecture, this long river course of thousands of miles is full of busy river workers.

On the north side of Kaifeng City, at the mouth of Liuyuan on the bank of the Yellow River.

This is also the governor's office of the entire river, an important joint in the river control project.

Well known.

Today's Kaifeng City is a city that overwhelms the city. Because of the flooding of the Yellow River for thousands of years, several cities have long been buried underneath.

As the Sansi Yamen of the entire Henan Province is now located, the safety of Kaifeng City is related to the safety of the entire Henan Province.

On the embankment upstream and downstream of Liuyuankou, countless river workers piled up the embankment with the sifted soil.According to the river regulation method of Pan Deshan, the governor of the river channel, the construction of Yaodi, Gedi, Yuedi, and Sudi was carried out.

The river course is two miles away, but the entire river treatment site is ten miles away or even wider.

On the embankment of Liuyuankou Ferry.

A group of people in the yamen, covered in official robes with mud and official boots covered in yellow mud, are gathering around a pile of bluestone strips.

On the pile of stones, a long map of the Yellow River course and construction nodes was placed in front of everyone.

Pan Deshan, who has been running the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River since he became the first river governor, has long since turned dark, and his hands are covered with mud and dirt, and are also covered with scars.

Surrounding him are many officials from the governor's yamen of Hedao, as well as officials from various yamen in Kaifeng City.

With the will of the court.

Pan Deshan, governor of the river channel, was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the official reached the second rank.It has the right to control the local government along the Yellow River, and can use the official seal of the governor of the river to recruit all people and things used for river governance.

It is the Sansi yamen of Henan Province, but when it comes to river management, it must follow the opinions of Pan Deshan, the governor of the river.

Although the current Pan Deshan has been waiting on the river construction site for a long time, and has become like those river workers, ashamed, but as a governor and minister of the second rank, he has a certain majesty even if he has never shown it.

"Governor, it's late autumn now, and deep winter is coming soon. At that time, the rain in the upper reaches will decrease, and the flow of the river will slow down. The two dams in Shanzhou City and Luoyang City in the upper reaches will be completely closed.

When spring starts next year and the spring floods arrive, we can test whether the functions of these two dams can block enough river water impact for the downstream as deduced. "

A governor's yamen official with a swarthy face like Pan Deshan tapped his fingers on the two places in Shanzhou City and Luoyang City in front of him.

Pan Deshan pressed his hands on the bluestone strips that had been chiseled by the river workers to increase the firmness and fit, and his eyes moved to the positions of the two dams in the upper reaches of the Yellow River.

He frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "On both sides of the river above Luoyang City, the people on the shore should move away from the river at a faster rate. Once the dam is built and the river is blocked, the upstream river level will be raised."

Another official from the governor's office immediately said: "When the governor's office started the construction of the dam, he had already written an order to relocate the people on both sides of the bank in Henan and Shanzhou. Now the construction of the upstream dam is going smoothly, and there is no serious problem. Downstream, the construction of the four dams made by the Governor has to be accelerated."

The officials of the chief envoy who were present took up the words: "Governor Pan, in two more months, our chief envoy's yamen will definitely be able to move the last people on both sides of the upper reaches."

Since Henan Road has been cleaned up and down before.

Most of the officials who are officials in Henan Province today are the earliest group of Xinxue children in the court.

And most of them are young people.

Energetic young man.

Under the leadership of Pei Benzhi, the chief envoy of Henan Province, this group of people will go all out to support and assist the affairs on the river.

Pan Deshan nodded, with a smile on his face: "After I finish my work at Liuyuankou today, I will go back to Kaifeng City. At that time, I will host a banquet at the governor's office for Pei Fangbo, Gao Yacha, and Yu Dusi. I would like to thank the Sansi Yamen for their support to my Governor’s Yamen."

Recently, everything has been going well in the management of the river.

Up and down, everyone is full of joy.

The official of the chief envoy's yamen also smiled and said: "It should be Henan Province who hosted a banquet to thank the governor. Most of the governor's river governance projects are within the territory of Henan Province.

This year the governor will reduce the number of dams, and next two years will build the embankment closest to the river, and then the Yellow River will be safe.

After five or six years, all the grid dikes, moon dikes, and remote dikes were completed.I am afraid that even the once-in-a-hundred-year flood will not damage the people's livelihood in Henan Province.

In the final analysis, the governor led his colleagues in the governor's office to govern the river, and it was we who went up and down the river in the end that benefited. "

Pan Deshan smiled and said nothing.

In five years, the Yellow River will be free from danger. This is naturally the words of the chief minister and the governor's office.

It will take five years to complete the general river control project in the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and then spend another five to ten years to scour the river bed and improve the historically dangerous places in various places.

At the same time, the downstream Hongze Lake Basin will be improved, and the problem of dredging the Yellow River estuary will be determined.

Back and forth, the imperial court will spend at least 20 years to ensure that the Yellow River is truly safe.

And this is to ensure that during this period, there will be no major dangers in the Yellow River, and the construction of various projects can go smoothly.

Pan Deshan was not worried about this.

With the emperor's grandson in the court, it can ensure that the river governance will not be interrupted.

He turned around and said: "Winter is coming soon, and hundreds of thousands of people on the river will turn into river workers. Although the imperial court favors the people to work in exchange for money and food. But we are serving the imperial court and doing this river control work, but also for the common people of the world. .

After winter, the weather is very cold.Things on the river cannot stop, and all departments must work together to raise cotton coats for the river workers after winter.

The stone and wood purchased from various places should also be documented and the number should be increased, in case roads are interrupted by snowfall in winter, and various materials cannot be delivered to the river in time. "

An official in charge of materials in the Governor's Office of the River Channel immediately said: "Don't worry, Governor, I will increase the allocation of materials on the river channel by writing everywhere the day before yesterday."

The chief envoy, Si Yamen, also replied: "Pei Fangbo reported to the imperial court a month ago, and transported cotton clothes, cotton, cloth, etc. from the Ministry of Households. The cabinet has approved the approval, and now we only need to wait for the Ministry of Households to send things over. It can be sent to various places on the river, and we will never let the river workers have to endure the severe cold when they go to work after winter.”

On the embankment of Liuyuankou, everyone is in harmony, and everything goes smoothly.

However, in a trance.

There seemed to be a movement between the heaven and the earth, and everyone frowned, only feeling dizzy for a while.

"Oh no!"

"Oh no!"

"Governor! Governor, get off the embankment!"

"..."

In the distance, on the river embankment upstream of Liuyuankou, a team of governor's yamen guards drove their horses, ignoring the crowded river workers on the embankment, galloping wildly with whips, shouting continuously.

The movement made by the guards instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Pan Deshan and the others quickly turned their heads to look at the guards galloping over on horseback.

In an instant.

Everyone's eyes widened.

I saw that behind the guards, a thick layer of water vapor had already formed on the entire course of the Yellow River at some point.

The huge roar, behind the layers of water vapor, seemed to be like thousands of troops rushing from upstream to downstream.

Something happened upstream!
Something happened to the Yellow River!

In an instant, alarm bells rang in everyone's hearts.

The guards were almost hoarse, but they kept shouting.

"Governor, go!"

"Upstream dam collapses, minus dam collapses!"

"All the water from the upper reaches has come down!"
