Everyone looked around, not knowing who to start with.

Niu Dashan called the names directly: "Lao Lu, you go first."

Lao Lu, one of the defense lieutenants of the Bingding Battalion, nodded: "Sifang [-]th Street, Xifang is already..." He paused, "The remaining three shifangs are densely populated and have the most casualties. Our Bingbattalion also started from here Rescue. At present, most of the East City has been cleaned up, and more than [-] lightly injured and more than [-] seriously injured have been rescued. Preliminary estimates are over a thousand."

Everyone looked sad and remained silent.

Li Jinqiu's nostrils trembled, sobbing sobs down to his mouth.

"Tomorrow we will continue to search the East Market. After the East Market is cleaned up, we will go to the North Market and the South Market in turn." After Lao Lu finished speaking, he cupped his hands and stopped talking.

"Old Dong."

Old Dong, the leader of the city gate with a fine cotton cloth wrapped on his forehead, cupped his hands: "Let's not talk about the west gate of the city gate. The other three gates were completely collapsed and damaged. The city wall was built with good materials. I know. The old Jiang at the east gate disappeared on the spot. The old Zhang at the north gate was only breathless when he was dug out.” He sighed, “He went there before the stretcher arrived. Brothers in the past unexpectedly Only I was lucky enough to survive, if Master Niu hadn't been in time..."

"How many city gate troops survived?" Niu Dashan raised his head and drank a big mouthful of water, interrupting his emotion, and asked directly.

Old Dong swallowed his saliva, didn't dare to say any more, and replied directly: "Ten out of ten." Then he hurriedly explained, "The main reason is that the city walls are all built of huge stones..."

"I know, I don't blame you." Niu Dashan stopped him, and turned to Chen Er, "Chen Er, how many soldiers did His Highness bring with you this time?"

"two hundred."

Niu Dashan pondered for a moment, then turned to Duan Hongjing: "Your Highness, can I take a look at the map you drew this afternoon?"

Where is he drawing in the afternoon?Duan Hongjing looked back at Niu Dashan in surprise, and saw his expression was determined, as if he had seen him draw with his own eyes—with his own eyes?

Duan Hongjing suddenly realized.Is this a cover for the map he drew earlier?

He nodded towards Niu Dashan with a smile in his eyes, stood up and walked towards the carriage.

Niu Dashan gnawed on the pancakes, and kept his eyes on Duan Hongjing, watching him get into the carriage to get things.

The others looked at each other.

Talking about business, why inexplicably feel that I am a little redundant?

When Duan Hongjing brought the drawings, Niu Dashan just finished eating.

He wiped his mouth casually, helped Duan Hongjing to sit down beside him, took the blueprint he handed over, and spread the blueprint away from the bonfire.

Everyone came together.

The drawing shows the simple distribution of the city of Xining Prefecture and its surrounding counties, towns, mountains, and waterways.

A few strokes, but clearly visible.

Niu Dashan thought about the blueprint for a while, then raised his head and asked Duan Hongjing: "Your Highness, the memorial has been sent out?"

Duan Hongjing nodded: "It has already been sent out in the afternoon." He also brought a private item along the way.

Well, I hope the emperor won't get dizzy after reading it.

Niu Dashan noticed his distraction, glanced at the others, and saw that everyone was staring at the map, so he let go.

As long as he knew that the memorial had been sent out, he would feel relieved.

Pointing at a certain place, Niu Dashan said: "This is His Highness's Zhuangzi, and this is Xining Prefecture City. The area near Zhuangzi is a flat land. There is a stream three miles away, and there is no shortage of water sources." He raised his head and scanned the crowd. , "I will find someone to see if there is any change. If nothing happens, we will move here in a few days."

Li Jinqiu's face changed: "Master Niu, are you going to ignore the people in Xining Fucheng?"

"The prefectural city is expected to be cleaned up in a few days, and then we will start to advance towards the county seat. There will be more and more people, and it is not appropriate to gather at the gate of the city."

"But, but I have been busy all day today, and only rescued more than 1000 people. Even the East City has not been rescued. How could the Xining Mansion of Nuoda be taken care of in a few days?" Li Jinqiu didn't believe it at all.

"Today, only His Royal Highness's soldiers and Xining soldiers are involved in the cleanup and rescue. There are less than 600 people in total." Niu Dashan raised his hand and pointed in the direction where the wounded were placed in the distance, "Tomorrow, these rescued people , as long as you can still walk, you have to end and join the rescue."

"But those are the wounded." Li Jinqiu hesitated.

"Didn't you find out, Mr. Li? We only rescued more than 1000 people in total, and there are far more than that number in this camp. Some of them were slightly injured or not injured, and they spontaneously followed us out of the city. They came here, but It’s because of the loss of residence, the fear of another earthquake, and the fact that there is free lunch here.” Niu Dashan’s expression was light, “Besides, the surrounding counties and towns have also suffered a lot. As long as people are still alive, they will definitely go to Fucheng. Come join us. The rescue team will only get bigger."

Only then did Li Jingqiu suddenly realize.

"Now I'm not worried that there are too few rescuers. Day by day, there must be fewer and fewer people who can survive to support us to rescue. What we need to pay more attention to is..."

He glanced around at everyone present, with a serious expression on his face: "After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. The weather in September is still hot, and the corpses in this city will be left for a few days... If we don't deal with it in time, everyone alive will be in danger." .”

The crowd was startled.

Duan Hongjing pursed his lips.Well, it seems that Daniel has obediently read the books he prepared.

Niu Dashan didn't care what their reaction was, and continued to say: "We have to hurry up and clean up the Fucheng, and leave here."

Everyone nodded this time.

"Starting tomorrow, 50 of His Highness's soldiers will be left, and the number will be increased to [-] the day after tomorrow, and so on until all of them are left."

This time it was Duan Hongjing's turn to be surprised: "Why? Isn't it better to handle things with more people?"

"No, too many people can lead to chaos. This is our base camp, so there can be no chaos. You are our backbone, so there must be no mistakes. Someone must watch over the food, and also need to take care of the food, so as not to be snatched by Xiaoxiao." Niu Dashan A word of righteousness.As for whether anyone dares to snatch it, that's another matter.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Knowing how nervous Niu Dashan was, Duan Hongjing's Zhang Zhaoxu coughed twice.Hmph, he didn't believe that Niu Dashan was as grand as he said.

"As for the soldiers under my battalion, starting tomorrow, I will allocate some of them to search for food in grain stores, liquor stores, inns, etc. in the city. There are more and more people, and we must make more preparations."

When it comes to food, Duan Hongjing opened his mouth to remind. Niu Dashan, who looked down at the map, continued: "The food in the city will be collected in about two or three days. Next, we will go to the surrounding area to find unowned land and collect sorghum and corn. .”

So many people need to eat, so they can't just rely on Xiao Jing's food storage. What if Xiao Jing is hungry after eating all of it?

September happened to be the time when the sorghum and millet were ripe. The casualties were so great this time that some of the fields should have been abandoned, and people should be sent to snatch them back in time, which would just make up for the gap for a period of time.

After all, Li Jinqiu is the governor of a city, so he naturally understands his arrangements.He nodded: "Master Niu is thoughtful, I admire you."

"Master Li's praise." Niu Dashan calmly led the praise.

He turned to Old Dong and the others, discussed with several generals about splitting up the team, roughly divided the tasks, and arranged for the people to follow them into the city tomorrow.

Duan Hongjing's eyes were shining brightly, staring fiercely at Niu Dashan who arranged things calmly and freely.

When things are arranged one by one, the night is already deep.

Several military officers lay down on the ground to rest.

Zhang Zhaoxu's carriage was given to Li Jinqiu, and he wanted to get into Duan Hongjing's carriage, but when Niu Dashan gave him a cold look, he immediately became quailed.

Duan Hongjing walked a few steps before remembering this, and turned around to ask him: "Zhao Xu, your carriage has been given over to Mr. Li, do you want to use an ox cart for you to rest?"

Look, look, what kind of friend is this? Why didn't you think of inviting him to sleep in a carriage together?Just thinking about giving him a bullock cart!Horse-drawn carriages are much more comfortable than bullock carts.

Zhang Zhaoxu glared at him angrily: "No need, I'll just sleep on the grass!"

Duan Hongjing was surprised: "Sleeping on the grass? It's deeper and the dew is heavy. Be careful of catching a cold!"

Zhang Zhaoxu snorted, turned his head and walked under the big tree that was resting today.The thick cloth that Bai Zhi laid out during the day is still there.

Duan Hongjing was at a loss, not knowing why he lost his temper suddenly.

Chen Er, who was on the sidelines, smiled, and cupped his hands at Duan Hongjing: "Master, you can go and rest, and leave him alone. His Baizhi has already packed up an ox cart, waiting for him to go and rest. I'll go and persuade him. "

Duan Hongjing didn't think much, nodded, turned around and got into the carriage with Niu Dashan.

Helping Niu Dashan take off his dusty coat, Duan Hongjing smiled at the corners of his eyes: "Da Niu, you look really good at strategizing."

Niu Dashan, who was only wearing underwear, hugged him, kissed him on the top of his hair, and said in a low and gentle voice, "It's the master who taught me well."

"of course."

In the afternoon, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, who was working, received one, no, two urgent reports from Eight Hundred Miles. After reading them, he hurriedly went to the palace to have an audience.

Duan Zhaoye had just finished reading the memorial presented by the Xining Mansion, and Duan Zhaoye was still choking, when he saw that there was another copy under the memorial, worried that it was related to the disaster, so he hurriedly picked it up and read it.

But it was a statement from Duan Hongjing, the fifth prince of the dynasty!

With a snap, Duan Zhaoye slapped the memorial on the desk, and took a few quick breaths while rubbing his chest.

He glanced at the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry with quail under the desk, and thought that the memorial was handed up layer by layer, and he didn't know how many people had read it.

It is estimated that within two days, everyone in the court must know about this, and they are even more angry.

But now is not the time to deal with such things.

He suppressed his anger: "Immediately summon the six ministries to the Xuanzheng Palace for discussion."

"Yes."

On September 24th of the [-]th year of Jianning, the Xining earthquake occurred.The mountains collapsed, the Mu River changed its way, the houses and dwelling houses collapsed, and there were countless casualties, six out of ten.

Astonished!

Duan Zhaoye directly ordered the Minister of the Household Department: "Immediately prepare rice, grain and medicine to send to Xining. Do our best to preserve the population of Xining."

The Secretary of the Household Department knelt down: "Your Majesty, the spring floods in the south of the Yangtze River have been treated, and the summer drought in the north of Lu has just passed, and the autumn tax has not yet been paid into the treasury. The Household Department is now a clever woman."

Duan Zhaoye slapped the table: "Fart! Didn't you hear how many people died? Now that the people over there are displaced and mourned everywhere, as a minister of a country, what face do you have to cry for poverty here? Could it be that in my huge Dayan Dynasty, even such a little Can't even get out people's food and money?" He said with a cold face, "If you can't get it out, what's the use of you as the Minister of the Household Department?"

The Minister of the Household Department kowtowed: "I can embezzle the expenses from other places, but for those things... I implore Your Majesty to forgive me."

"The matter of Xining Mansion is the most important thing now, and I will postpone everything else. Within three days, I must send the things to me. If not, I will take off your top hat."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs was in a hurry: "Your Majesty, even if the minister moved money from other places, so much food and medicine can't be gathered inside and outside the capital, and have to be purchased from other places. It's impossible to do it in three days."

"Should we let the common people starve and wait to die with injuries? Find a way for me!" Duan Zhaoye was so angry that his hands shook, he took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then ordered the Minister of the Ministry of War, "Immediately order to mobilize the nearest The soldiers from Fucheng went to support and assist Tong Zhiniu and Niu Dashan in Xining Prefecture," he paused, "dispose of the corpses in time, and beware of plague and epidemics."

"Yes."

"Report, Second Highness, please see me."

Why come here to make trouble at this time?Duan Zhaoye said in displeasure, "Xuan."
