Gou in Daming, I was overheard by Zhu Yuanzhang

Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed, this Wang Qing's selection is not bad.

How does he know that we just want our third grandson to go?

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang actually wanted the Ministry of Industry to send people to Jianli County to organize government and county levels to build embankments on behalf of the imperial court.

However, an urgent news came that the Yangtze River embankment in Jianli County had already breached.

The situation is not good!

From Yingtian to Jianli, the distance is [-] li. If you go by land, you will have to ride a horse for two days.

This is the fastest way.

Of course, the waterway is not good, because the upstream of the Yangtze River needs to be pulled by a tracker.

Now that the Yangtze River is flooded, even the trackers can't find it!

Even in normal times, traveling upstream by water is not as fast as riding a horse.

Distance is not a problem for Sansun.

Because the third grandson heard that we were sick, he brought Xu Huaijin to Yingtian in ten days from the Western Regions, [-] miles away, by various means of transportation!

Sun Xinsheng revealed that he used off-road vehicles, motorcycles, hovercraft and the like.

The situation is very urgent now, only the third grandson can reach the breach site as quickly as possible!

The third grandson returned to Yingtian from the Western Regions within ten days, bringing Xu Huaijin with him.

If you can lead Xu Huaijin, you will be able to lead others.

If you can take one person, you can take many people.

We know very well that the bigger the breach, the harder it is to block it!The later the more dangerous!
Only the third grandson can do this!

Don't look at it as just a small breach, if it's not well controlled, it's a big deal!

It involves the lives of tens of thousands of people and the agricultural production in the Jianghan Plain!
If it is not done well, the country will be overwhelmed, hunger will spread, and then there may be a plague.

Most people think that Wu Wang will not go.

Wang Qingxuan's compliment to King Wu just now was actually digging a hole for King Wu.

Hold Wu Wang high, just wait for him to fall down.

Going to Jianli to block the breach of the Yangtze River is simply an impossible task!

Long Trip!
If there is no breach, it's okay to say that it needs to be reinforced.

The breach has already been broken, and Jianli's strength is simply not enough to stop it, so he hurriedly called for help from the court.

Maybe, when you arrive, Jianli County has already become a vast ocean.

If King Wu is hotheaded and accepts this job, he will be ashamed.

Hubu Shangshu Huang Zicheng is grateful to King Wu, after all, King Wu once saved his life.

The reason why he is now the Minister of the Household Department is also because he did not fall to Zhu Yunqi after Zhu Yunqi ascended the throne.

At least he doesn't talk about King Wu every day like Qi Tai does.

Wang Qingxuan's suggestion just now had very sinister intentions, and King Wu might be fooled.

Huang Zicheng said: "Your Majesty, I don't think King Wu is a god, and the first achievement in conquering the Western Regions is His Majesty's strategizing."

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood that Huang Zicheng was afraid that we would be jealous of King Wu.

How can we be so stingy?
Huang Zicheng said again: "I believe that Jianli's breakthrough should be left to its own accord, and no more people and material resources should be invested."

There was a buzzing sound in the hall.

The Yangtze River burst, actually let it be, ignore it!

"Why?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Your Majesty, the Yangtze River's breach cannot be stopped by manpower. If people's power is put into it, there will only be more deaths."

"Sending people from central Beijing to Jianli at this time is probably just organizing the transfer of people and helping with reconstruction after the disaster."

Wang Qingxuan laughed: "Did Mr. Huang forget that people are the foundation? The Yangtze River breached, let it go? Ordinary people thought it was the Yuan Dynasty?!"

Huang Zicheng was unmoved: "Your Majesty, the rain in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River has not stopped, and the Han River and other tributaries continue to flow in, and the water is getting bigger and bigger!"

"The Jianli breach may be a good thing, because this breach drained a large part of the flood!"

"The diversion of a large amount of flood water from Jianli can reduce the pressure on the downstream, especially the pressure on the capital city."

"It's completely conceivable how powerful and terrifying the water from the upper and middle reaches of the capital will be!"

"Jianli can be lost, but the capital must not be lost!"

"Everyone, Jianli and the capital, which is more important, don't I need to say more?"

The hall immediately fell into silence.

Yes, no one thought of the safety of the capital!
The Yangtze River not only has the upper and middle reaches, but also the lower reaches!
The more urgent the upstream rain, the greater the water, and the greater the destructive power to the downstream!
When Huang Zicheng said this, the ministers immediately thought of their own safety.

What if the flood rushes all the way to the capital without a breach in the middle?

Lan Yu gave Huang Zicheng a thumbs up: "Master Huang considers all issues comprehensively, and his level is high."

"Huang Zicheng's thinking is correct! This is called Shezu Baoshuai."

"For example, in the middle and lower reaches of our Yellow River, some counties are backup flood discharge areas."

"We must proceed from the overall situation and make trade-offs. The first is to protect developed areas and large cities."

"But Huang Zicheng said that because he has no confidence in the capital's river defense."

"Actually, the capital has been paying attention to river defense since the Sun regime in Soochow."

"It can completely withstand the test of the flood."

"The breach in Jianli County must be blocked."

"The common people in the capital are not much nobler than those in Jianli County."

"From Yingtian to Jianli, if you use an assault boat, go up the river, and you will arrive in three to four hours."

Ah, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help exclaiming softly.

The third grandson's equipment can be described as endless!

He was able to swim upstream from the river in only three to four hours, it was incredible!
Faster than we thought!
The assault boat sounds extremely fast!

I don't know how many people can sit.

"However, if I stand up and take the initiative to go to Jianli to stop the breach, won't I be regarded as a fool?"

"I'll jump if someone digs a hole?"

"But the Jianli breach cannot be stopped. How many people will die, and how many people will have to leave their homes?"

"How about I quietly go to Jianli and find someone I know well to go with?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, the third grandson was entangled in this!
That's right, the third grandson is just like us, thinking of the common people!
The third grandson doesn't want to take the initiative to stand up, so let's order him to go!
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "No matter how big the water is, the capital city can handle it. From now on, strengthen the defense of the river. All officials above the fourth grade in the capital city will go to the river embankment, and the responsibility for the embankment section will be clarified. Don't blame us for being ruthless if there is a problem in any section."

"Jianli's breach must be blocked! You can't give up Jianli just to protect the capital!"

"Your life is your life, and the lives of ordinary people in Jianli are also your life!"

"As Wang Qingxuan said, a high-ranking person must be sent from the capital!"

"A knife is sharpened on a stone, but a man is practiced on things. In the face of catastrophe, a hero will show his true qualities."

"Yunxi, since he is the king of Wu, he must embody the responsibility of the royal family, do things for the people, and set an example for all officials!"

"We have made a decision: King Wu will go to Jianli immediately and resolutely block the breach of the Yangtze River!"

Ah, everyone was stunned!

Wang Qingxuan was overjoyed, he did not expect His Majesty to agree to his proposal!
Huang Zicheng reminded King Wu not to jump into the hole I dug.

Who knew that His Majesty forced King Wu to jump into the pit!
