Chapter 170 Disaster Like Fire

Yang Du’s suggestions are very pertinent, but they are also quite harsh. To put it bluntly, your Yuan Shikai’s reputation is too bad. No one believes you when you tell the truth, and no one believes you tell lies. This is a matter of character.

Lao Yuan betrayed Emperor Guangxu in his early years. No matter whether it is real or not, the image of Lao Yuan is not so good-looking. In addition, as an old bureaucrat, Yuan, believed in power, this thing can be used, but since it is a skill, he cannot enter the great way. Moreover, in this era of information development, many things are not secrets. For example, Lao Yuan seized the throne of the president and wanted to be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty and bullied other people's orphans and widows. It is not nice to say it.

Of course, these are all details. The key is that after Lao Yuan took power, the livelihoods of the people did not improve. Instead, they became more and more difficult, and there were more and more taxes. How could the people say you are good? If this continues, Yuan Shikai's people will definitely be lost. As an important counselor of Lao Yuan, Yang Du's advice at this time is to hope that Yuan Shikai can maintain his authority and make the people profit.

How clever Old Yuan was, how could he not understand what Yang Du meant? It was just that he still had confidence in reform and could his energy change the appearance of China? Old Yuan not only remembered the pasting craftsman Li Hongzhang, but he must have been in this mood back then.

However, Yuan Shikai did not admit that he was old, had no ambitions, and was willing to be with the status quo. "She, I'm too powerless, too!"

Yang Du listened to Old Yuan's sigh and felt a little moved. How could the President get rid of the constraints and follow his words? An idea gradually emerged in Yang Du's mind.

The new Republic of China is moving forward in a difficult situation, and Sichuan has also encountered serious tests. Heavy rains have been falling in the Jinsha River section. Tang Yisheng has taken the lead in rushing to the Xu Prefecture to direct flood control. Qiao Yu is also very worried about floods. Since ancient times, water and fire have been ruthless. If there is a large-scale flood, there will be heavy casualties, which will seriously affect grain production and is very likely to affect the overall stability of Sichuan. Qiao Yu must not help but worry.

Of course, facing disasters is both a test and an opportunity for the government. It can prove that she is standing with the people of Sichuan. Most of the difficulties are caused by this. Qiao Yu traveled south and Lu Wanqing was closely following her. She suffered a lot in Tibet, her face was sunburned, and her delicate skin was damaged in many places, which made people's hearts break. However, when the old lady of Bai saw Lu Wanqing coming back from Tibet, she handed her close-fitting jade bracelet to her.

The identity of this daughter-in-law has been confirmed. Marrying a wife not only depends on her appearance, but also on whether she can share the joys and sorrows with you. Therefore, Old Lady Bai must not let this good daughter-in-law go. She pulled her to say most of the night, but she was just giving her son to her.'

There were heavy rains in the south, and after a major disaster, there would be a major epidemic. Lu Wanqing naturally led the medical team to act with Qiao Yu. After three days of travel, the group arrived at Xu Mansion. At this time, the Xu Mansion was still raining day and night. As the intersection of the Minjiang River and the Jinsha River, Xu Mansion was under water from both sides, especially the Minjiang River. After coming out of Chengdu, it was raining all the way. The water level of the Minjiang River rose very rapidly. If you were not careful, there was a possibility that the dike would be destroyed.

At this time, Sichuan had all mobilized all the people, and all local officials were on the front line of flood fighting. Qiao Yu had already issued a death order. Any official dared to stay away from the front line and was dismissed on the spot. At the same time, militias and police from all over the country were mobilized and were ready to fight.

It can be said that this kind of mobilization ability is beyond the reach of other provinces, and of course there is not much mystery. The key is that the ruling class in Sichuan is a group of industrialists. Everyone knows that the organizational ability of workers is far above the farmers. Similarly, the mobilization and organizational ability of Sichuan's ruling group is not comparable to that of other provinces. In addition to Qiao Yu's death order, no one in Sichuan dares to neglect...

"Old Tang, how is the situation now?" Qiao Yu personally brought people to the Yangtze River embankment on the first day of his arrival in the Xu Mansion. At this time, thousands of people had gathered on the embankment, and he kept strengthening the embankment. Below the embankment was rolling river water, like a furious dragon, and he had to break free from the shackles at any time and rush out to rush out and sway.

Tang Yisheng's face was also very serious. He touched the rain on his face: "Master, the situation is very urgent now. The water coming from the Minjiang River and Jinsha River is very high. Many embankments have been in disrepair for many years. People hold on to the embankment day and night. Some areas have leaking pipes. If the water continues like this, I am afraid I will not be able to defend it. In addition, Pingshan is now at risk of mudslides!"

Qiao Yu frowned, looking at the river water under his feet, his heart was extremely heavy. Various floods and droughts occurred frequently in the Republic of China, and it was good to be able to die a hundred or so people. Life is worthless.

"Old Tang, I immediately ordered the Second Division to be mobilized. I may not be able to hold on with the people alone. In addition, let Wang Chengji mobilize supplies as soon as possible and organize the people. The young and strong will go to the embankment, and old friends, women and children will be evacuated as soon as possible. Pingshan will also be evacuated as soon as possible. Tell the people that life is the most important. As long as life is saved, the government will bear the losses. In addition, Luzhou and even Chongqing will be mobilized to be strictly guarded. If there is any problem, I will deal with whom. I won't mind taking down a few heads!"

After Qiao Yu ordered, the entire Xu Mansion was mobilized. At this time, the commander of the Second Division was Shi Yi. When Qiao Yu heard that the order was given, he hurriedly summoned the troops and all came to the embankment.

"Master General, all 3,520 officers and soldiers of the Second Division arrived, so please give your order!"

Qiao Yu nodded slightly and walked straight to the heroic soldiers: "Brothers, everyone is a soldier who eats food and plays with guns. At this time, you are asked to pick up shovels and picks to station the embankment. I believe some people still can't understand it, but I want to tell you that the duty of the soldiers is to protect the people. You are not those Mr. Qiu Ba, but the soldiers. You pick up guns and cannons to protect the people. At this time, fighting the flood is also to protect the people. There is no difference. Behind you is the Xu Mansion, the home of tens of thousands of people. Those people are your fellow villagers. Can you watch their family die? "

"No! No!" These soldiers immediately shouted loudly. The sound shook the world. Even the people on the side were very surprised. Floods have often occurred over the years. However, I have never seen these Mr. Qiu Ba who participated in disaster relief. I was afraid that before the water arrived, they would have run away. It would be good if they didn't take the opportunity to rob. This army actually wanted to protect the embankment with the people. Everyone felt a different feeling in their hearts.

With Qiao Yu's order, these officers and soldiers were all put on the embankment. They were strong and well-trained. They quickly strengthened the embankment according to the instructions to prevent leakage and were very busy.

Wang Chengji also brought all the officials of the Xu Mansion to the embankment, and the inspectors came to visit. These people had nothing to say. Even if they were afraid, they would not dare to say it. They would do their best to protect the embankment regardless of whether they wanted to or not, and dared not slacken any.
