Chapter 184 Flood
The heavy rain fell from the sky and landed on the earth like a waterfall.
The sight was already blurred, unable to tell the difference between the north and the south. The ears were filled with the sound of rapid raindrops falling in the mud and water. The straw raincoat on her body seemed to have been penetrated by the cold rain, making people tremble slightly.
The mud and water under people's feet have flooded their calves, and the long convoy has also been trapped in the mud, making it difficult to move forward.
Pa, pa, pa!
The guards of the East Palace were furious and shook the horses, and the horses roared with exhaustion, but the wheels trapped in the soil could not move.
"Your Highness, I see that these cars will not be able to come out for a while!" Li Jinglong wiped the rain on his face and said embarrassedly, "Otherwise, I will ask you to protect you first, and you will go to Kaifeng first?"
In Zhu Yunyu's convoy, many of the carriages were loaded with the money donated to the disaster area by these nobles, not only the nobles. Officials from wealthy families among the civil servants also gave them a lot of money. As soon as this wind came out, it spread to the people, and the merchants in the Henan Guild Hall in the capital broke the threshold of the Ministry of Revenue.
Not only are there money in the fleet, but there are also medicinal materials, patent medicines, and other substances.
Zhu Yunxiu stood in the heavy rain without saying a word. He had already entered Henan. He had rained lightly for two days and three days and heavy rain, and he had never survived. Looking around, there was a brown marina around him, chaotic and desolate.
At this time, it is no longer possible to tell where the road is, where the river is, where the fields are, and where the cities are.
"These supplies must be brought to Kaifeng City!" After a while, Zhu Yunxiu said, "There must be serious illness in the year of major disasters. Now it is late autumn. If the people have a cold wind, the whole city will be over!"
"You are leaving now, I guarantee that even a pill cannot fall!" Li Jinglong was a little anxious and said loudly.
The prince's son is a 100-month gold body, and the situation in this wilderness is so dangerous, if it is a bit bad, how could they, the ministers accompanying him, afford it?
Bang, bang!
The horse whip left blood marks on the neck of the war horse. The war horse wailed and struggled in the wind and rain, and pulled the deep-sinking carriage with all its might.
"Your Highness, your feet are wet. I will change you to new leather boots!" Wu Basha said in a pair of waterproof boots.
Zhu Yunxiu looked at him, "What else is there to change at this time?" As he said that, he actually walked over under the umbrella, and in the horrified eyes of everyone, he directly held a wheel and used his arms to force him, "Come on, push!"
"Master, let me come, how can you do this?" The turtle shrieked and rushed over.
Li Jinglong reacted a little slowly, and then suddenly shouted to the convoy that was trapped in the mud, "Your Highness the Emperor, Rotary himself, everyone is working hard!"
Suddenly, the silent convoy in the heavy rain boiled.
The men took off their armored straw raincoats and pushed the carriages that were stuck in the mud with bare shirt.
"Put it harder, hey hey!"
"Don't let go of the back, hey hey!"
The men's arms raised, and the horses moved forward with their hooves. The wheels that were trapped in the soil slowly moved.
Among them, on the side of one wheel, a guard of Zhu Yunxiu got up before he could get up when the wheels started to move, and directly threw it into the mud and water with a slap, causing a burst of laughter.
Zhu Yunyu stood up and washed away the mud in the mud and water at will, without any smile on his face.
The Yellow River broke its dam and the heavy rain continued to rush. How could he laugh?
The cold and cold wind in late autumn is a death talisman for the people who are hungry and cold. Moreover, winter is coming soon in the north. The disaster in Henan is far from being as simple as floods.
As the saying goes, man conquers nature.
In fact, this is helpless.
Our country and our nation seem to be particularly prone to favor by disasters. God is like an unfair parents, always likes to let us go through hardships and difficulties.
Man conquers nature, in fact, is the roar of our ancestors throughout the ages, under grief, anger, and despair, venting the unfair anger of the laws of heaven.
We have nothing, only people.
No matter what kind of disaster we experience, we must survive and reproduce from generation to generation. Therefore, we say that we must overcome nature.
After washing his hands, Zhu Yunyu looked up and saw the haze in the sky in the cracks of the heavy rain.
The first time he was, the first time in his life, was like an old man.
"You're a damn!"
The convoy continued to move forward, and gradually the flood changed from the position of the calf to the waist.
"The first brothers have explored the way. This is a depression, it's good to pass!" Fu Rang said loudly in Zhu Yunxi's ear, "Your Highness, you ride on my shoulders, I will take you over!"
Zhu Yunxiu shook his head slowly and said firmly, "I can leave, let's speed up and move forward to Kaifeng City when it's dark!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt that someone had grabbed his waist.
Li Jinglong shouted behind him, "Your Highness is steadily!"
Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu was carried directly by Li Jinglong.
"You!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled bitterly and grabbed Li Jinglong's hair with his hands, "Why do you have to?"
"Your Highness, I dare to complain a few times, you shouldn't come!" Li Jinglong followed the person who was dripping in front of me and shouted, "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This road is so dangerous. Just leave it to me if you have anything to do!"
Zhu Yunxiu was shaking, "No, don't go to the front line in person. How can I feel at ease? Now in the disaster area, it is the time for the people to feel sad. If the people are gone, no one can help others, at least they can make the people feel at ease!"
"With this wise king in the Ming Dynasty, why not be afraid of natural disasters? Why not worry about the prosperity of thousands of years!" Li Jinglong laughed loudly, and said to the people who were following behind, Xie Jin and others, "Xie Hanlin, your highness loves the people so much and cares about the world, should be written into historical books and sings throughout the ages!"
In the rain, Xie Jin was held by Tie Xuan in one hand, without any strength, as if he was caught in the water, and said weakly, "Duke Cao said that he would not fall into the official position after turning around and write it into his daily life notes!"
"You, just make these false things!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled and patted Li Jinglong's head, but in a second, his eyes froze.
In sight, with the flowing water in the distance, several black shadows slowly approached.
"What is that? Pull it over and show it to the orphan!" Zhu Yunsheng said loudly.
Several guards with good water nature rushed over immediately. But just now, their figures seemed to be petrified in the water.
"What is it?" Zhu Yunxi continued to yell.
The one who passed by was Liao Ming, the guard of the Eastern Palace. He turned his head and grinned, "Your Highness, are two drowned children!"
The two children were only eight or nine years old, and their bodies were swollen. They floated quietly in the water, with dying fear and struggle on their faces.
One of the girls was still holding a bamboo pole tightly in his hand.
That's the handle of the rattle!
She must have cherished this toy very much, so she never let go of her death.
Or, when she was desperate and helpless, she could only grasp this handle.
A painful, angry, sad feeling spread in Zhu Yunxi's heart. He stretched out his hand and trembled a little, helping the children pick the grass leaves on their faces and calmed him down with all their strength.
"Twist the carriage next to it and take it to the city for burial!"
Behind him, Tie Xuan threw Xie Jin down, picked up a child with his own hands, and said even more, "Child, your highness will take you home!"
"You want to harm others if you are a damn person?"
Zhu Yunxiu looked at the sky again, his eyes became more cold, "Come on!"
As he said that, he pointed forward, "Follow the orphans to enter the city, we will work with the people of the Central Plains to fight against natural disasters!"
Nearly tens of thousands of guards roared loudly in the heavy rain, "God blesses the Ming Dynasty!"
Move forward and face the wind and rain.
At this moment, there are more than Zhu Yunxiu, the teams coming to Henan, Kaifeng, and Central Plains.
The disaster relief team in Hebei and Shandong, the team in Hubei and Anhui, and the team in Jiangsu are all moving forward silently.
Man conquers nature.
There is only one heaven, and there are some people in our China!
Suddenly, at the front of the team, several guards ran and shouted.
"Your Highness, Master Shihouyong, the Henan Provincial Governor, and Your Highness King Zhou, are here to welcome you!"
At this time, the water became shallower again and the rain seemed to be getting smaller. In the sight, there were a long group of people, cars and horses, and squeezing ships.
"I, welcome your highness!" King Zhu Shi of Zhou did not look like a vassal king, and he was in a mess.
"No need to give a tribute!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Didn't I send someone to tell me that I won't let Uncle Wu go out of the city to pick him up!"
"This heavy rain has poured down, and my heart is in my throat!" Zhu Xu said, "Your Highness, why should you come in person!"
"His Royal Highness, the foundation of the country's dynasty, is personally suspected, where does the subjects in the world look down on?"
Aside, there was a sudden roar. Hou Yong, the governor of Henan, was furious and his eyes were bloodshot, "The natural disasters are ruthless, and the floods are without eyes. Your Highness is trekking hard. If you have any good or bad luck, where will the Ming Dynasty be placed? Where will your Majesty be placed, and where will the subjects of the world be placed?"
"Your Highness is in danger, in my opinion, it is just the courage of an ordinary man, and it will not help the overall situation. I dare not welcome you into the city, so I ask you to return the same way. If your Highness insists on going to the disaster area, I will have no choice but to die to thank the world!"
