My brother Ying Zheng, who dares to kill me?.

Chapter 855: It is not easy to shock, but when it does, it will shock the world! Please forgive me for disobeying the king's order and going my own way!
The earthquake struck, but looking around at the Qin emperor and his ministers, not a single one looked solemn or sad. Instead, everyone had a sincere smile and reverence on their face.

Compared to an earthquake and the people who died from it, a great wizard who is loved by heaven and earth and trusted by people all over the world is more important to Daqin!
Only Ying Chengjiao's face was extremely ugly, and he even murmured in a pale voice: "Zheng County? Zheng County!"

"I knew there would be an earthquake in Guanzhong this year, but I never expected it."

“This earthquake actually occurred in Zheng County!!!”

What is not well known is.

It was not until 544 years ago that the State of Zheng moved its capital to today's Xinzheng. During the 32 years from 544 years ago to the founding of the State of Zheng, the capital of the State of Zheng was always located in Qilin in Guanzhong!
Four hundred and fifty-seven years ago, Qin seized Qiulin and changed its name to Zheng County.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Zheng County was changed to Huazhou!
as we all know.

The most severe earthquake with clear records in Chinese history, and the earthquake with the highest death toll in human history, is the Guanzhong earthquake, also known as the Huazhou earthquake!

In the 1556th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (8.0), a great earthquake with a magnitude of 8.3-11 and an intensity of degrees broke out in Huazhou. The earthquake waves shook the whole of China. The land within a radius of square kilometers was shaken, the ground cracked like a painting, and the Yellow River backflowed. people died, and countless people died!!!

You have to know that this was during the Ming Dynasty when there were no reinforced concrete structures, no high-rise buildings, no urbanization, the population was relatively dispersed and most people lived in single-story houses!
And this Huazhou is that Huazhou!

Huazhou doesn't shake easily, but when it does, it shocks the whole world!

Ying Chengjiao shouted without hesitation: "Order!"

"All the plows, hoes, and pickaxes in the Chang'an and Lantian workshops will be loaded onto trucks and sent to Zheng County!"

"Take half of the grain stored in Chang'an Junfu and load it onto trucks to be sent to Zheng County!"

"All the disciples of the Great Qin Military Academy will rush to Lantian County, meet up with me along the way, and follow me to Zheng County!"

Ying Chengjiao's anxious and uneasy voice shattered the smiles and reverence on the faces of the Qin monarchs and ministers.

Ying Zheng immediately asked: "Brother, is there something wrong?!"

Ying Chengjiao said in a very heavy voice: "The intensity that is enough to be recorded in the history books is only the lower limit of this earthquake."

"As for its upper limit, I don't know."

"Moreover, Zheng County is located at the intersection of the earth veins, and the surrounding area is mainly loess. Once an earthquake occurs, groundwater may also spray out, further aggravating the disaster!"

"Even if there is an earthquake in Chang'an Township or even Xianyang City, I won't be too worried."

"But now the epicenter is in Zheng County, how can I not be anxious!"

As he was speaking, there was another noticeable tremor. Many court officials lost their balance and the smiles on their faces completely disappeared.

Being in Lantian County, they could not directly feel how severe the Zheng County earthquake was.

But Ying Chengjiao's words made them worry.

Ying Zheng's heart tightened even more, and he grabbed Ying Chengjiao's arm tightly, saying solemnly: "In this case, my brother must not go to Zheng County in person!"

"Your Highness, there is really no need for you to go to Zheng County in person."

"Brother Nai will dispatch officials to help the victims."

"Zheng County is located in Neishi Prefecture, so there will be no chaos. Your brother, don't worry!"

Even Lantian County, which was more than a hundred miles away, felt such obvious tremors. Ying Zheng could not even imagine how tragic the situation would be in Zheng County, which was at the epicenter of the earthquake.

How could Ying Zheng bear to let Ying Chengjiao go to such a dangerous place!

Ying Chengjiao shook his head, looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "How can we help?"

"Allow food, fodder, and tools to be provided, and then the magistrate of Zheng County and the magistrates of the surrounding counties will lead the panicked county soldiers and able-bodied men to save themselves, and then lend the tools to the people, and return them in full after the people rebuild their homes?"

"Is that enough?"

Ying Zheng said sincerely: "That's enough!"

Lu Buwei sighed softly and said, "And my Great Qin can't do more!"

"Otherwise, the system of rewards and punishments in the Great Qin will be destroyed!"

Ying Zheng could hear Ying Chengjiao's dissatisfaction with this disaster relief policy in his words.

However, this disaster relief policy was not implemented until Lu Buwei took office as Prime Minister of the Qin Dynasty, and it was initially opposed by all the officials in the court!

King Zhaoxiang of Qin explained the reason very clearly.

According to the laws of our Qin, people are rewarded for their merits and punished for their crimes. Now, distributing fruits and vegetables from the five gardens will result in people being rewarded for their merits and no merits. If people are rewarded for their merits and no merits, this is the way to chaos!
Disaster relief is considered a reward by the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin Dynasty rewards everyone in a place just because a disaster occurs in that place, it will be a huge blow to the Qin Dynasty's reward and punishment system!

So let alone allocating food, fodder and manpower for disaster relief, the victims couldn't even go to the Five Gardens of the King of Qin to dig up wild vegetables that the King of Qin would never eat to satisfy their hunger!

King Zhaoxiang of Qin did rely on a strict reward and punishment system to make the Qin war machine more warlike and daring, laying a solid foundation for the unification of Qin.

It was not until Lu Buwei defined disaster relief as a national move to preserve the manpower of the whole people to help the prosperity of Qin that Lu Buwei found a loophole in the way of rewards and punishments and allowed the Qin court to provide minimal material relief to the people in the disaster-stricken areas!

But this is the limit.

Otherwise, the current system of rewards and punishments and the method of controlling the people with harsh punishments of the Qin Dynasty will all collapse!
Ying Chengjiao said in a low voice: "I know what you said, elder brother."

"I really don't understand the government affairs at court, and I don't know how to govern the country."

"The policy of governing the country should be decided by the king and his colleagues."

Ying Chengjiao slowly pried open Ying Zheng's hands, and said with a firmer voice: "Yes!" "What I eat is the fat of the people."

"I cannot sit back and watch as the people suffer!"

"People in the court often say that I love to disobey the king's orders, and I never obey them."

"But today, please forgive me for disobeying the king's order and acting on my own!"

Taking two steps back, Ying Chengjiao bowed solemnly to Ying Zheng, then turned around and shouted, "All the personal soldiers of Lord Chang'an are here!"

"Take the sword and pickaxe, and follow me!"

Looking at Ying Chengjiao's resolute back, Ying Zheng unconsciously stretched out his hand and shouted with worry: "Brother!!!"

However, Lu Buwei gently held Ying Zheng's arm and said softly, "Your Majesty, let Chang'an Jun go."

"The Qin people in Guanzhong have had harsh laws for a long time, and there have been wars for years, with countless casualties. It is inevitable that the Qin people in Guanzhong have resentment towards the Qin people."

"I believe that disaster relief is a good deed that wins the hearts of the people."

"The Great Qin is constrained by the principles of reward and punishment and cannot do so. However, Lord Chang'an's departure is an act of disobeying the king's order and acting on his own. This has nothing to do with the national policy of the Great Qin, nor with the decision of the court."

"Only if Chang'an Jun, who often disobeys the king's orders, does not follow strategies, acts recklessly and has great military achievements, does this, he will not be criticized by all parties, and the king has reason not to punish him severely!"

Lü Buwei looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Moreover, the many craftsman-made things developed by Chang'an Jun will surely bring great changes to our Great Qin."

"It's time to change the way our Great Qin rewards and punishes people!"

Lu Buwei has always hated Ying Chengjiao's reckless behavior.

But in the current environment, Ying Chengjiao's reckless behavior has become a good opportunity for the Qin Dynasty.

A good opportunity to further consolidate the hearts of the people of Guanzhong and Lao Qin.

A good opportunity to pry open the current reward and punishment system of the Qin Dynasty!
Ying Le also advised gently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

"It is certainly dangerous where the earth dragon turns over, but Lord Chang'an is a great wizard who can drive the earth dragon!"

"The Earth Dragon will hurt anyone, but it will never hurt Lord Chang'an."

"And if the earth dragon's turning over is really as powerful as Chang'an Jun said, it would be good for Chang'an Jun to go there in person."

"It's a farewell to the Earth Dragon, and it can also soothe people's hearts!"

After the earthquake, people wailed and their morale collapsed.

Even local officials find it difficult to organize them to immediately engage in disaster relief work, and one careless mistake may even lead to riots!

But when the person who predicted this earthquake went to the disaster area in person, the power of faith he could bring to the victims was endless!

Ying Chengjiao alone is able to defeat thousands of troops at this moment!

Under the persuasion of Lu Buwei and Ying Le, Ying Zheng slowly put down his hand and spoke in a complicated and deep voice: "Order!"

"Promote Prince Cheng Jiao of Chang'an to be the commander-in-chief and lead the troops of Neishi Prefecture to suppress the unrest!"

"Your Highness Lieutenant General Meng Yi is leading two thousand guards and one hundred assistant ministers to protect Lord Chang'an!"

"Move the Lantian camp to Xianyang City to defend the capital!"

Lü Buwei said in a deep voice: "I ask all the messengers to send messages to the counties and prefectures: the court is discussing the relief of the earth dragon's reversal, but Lord Chang'an has already moved without orders and personally led his soldiers to Zheng County!"

Ying Chengjiao's obedience to orders was enough to prevent the villains from making any rash moves.

But Ying Chengjiao, who disobeyed orders, was the real Qin killer god that made people all over the world terrified!
Lu Buwei believed that this piece of news alone was enough to bring out the full potential of all the counties and prefectures of the Qin Dynasty!
Ying Zheng nodded solemnly: "Approved!"

Finally, after taking a deep look at Ying Chengjiao's back, Ying Zheng shouted in a deep voice: "Return to the palace!"
-
"The front troops set up wooden boards to fill in the ditches on the ground. When the rear troops pass the front troops, they turn to the front troops and set up wooden boards for the comrades behind them!"

"Military school students, listen up and take turns with the corvées to push the Chang'an carriage and rush to Zheng as fast as possible!"

"Quick... abandon the car and hide!!!"

On the highway, Ying Chengjiao personally pushed a cart towards Zheng County, still giving orders.

However, as another round of shock waves hit, Ying Chengjiao hurriedly put down the cart and ran to the middle of the wider road.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~Boom~"

Just when Ying Chengjiao's troops had just hidden in the middle of the road, a roar suddenly sounded.

Ying Chengjiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sloping crack appearing halfway up a high mountain in front of him on the left, and it was spreading continuously with the shock wave.

Finally, the top of the mountain came crashing down the hillside!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The huge mountain suddenly collided with the ground.

Stones as tall as a person flew in all directions.

The deafening roar hit Ying Chengjiao's eardrums, as if there was only one sound left in the world!
Everyone in the team stared at the mountain in a daze, their eyes full of fear, and they dared not move forward even a step!
