I am rich in martial arts, but choose culture to win

On the fourth day of August in the tenth year of Xianfeng in the puppet Qing Dynasty, in Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou, the Mongolian cavalry led by Seng Gelinqin once panicked in the sea of ​​​​Congreve rocket fire and lost a lot.

In Guangzhou, Zhoushan, Nanjing, and Dagu, there are records of the use of these rockets everywhere.

But in general, because of the reliability and cost of the process, in this era, consumables such as rockets that require a large amount of high-quality steel are definitely not as popular as artillery.

But Zhu Fugui has no such worries.

As Saudi tycoon Ju Salman, he asked Laiyang Iron and Steel Works about the price of high-quality "water pipes".

Then a new world opened up.

[Laiyang seamless steel pipe manufacturer 610×25 thick-walled seamless steel pipe Q345B seamless steel pipe factory Shengdian steel pipe], the wholesale price is 5780 yuan...one ton...

Take out a small target at random, that is 17000 tons, and fill it with explosives, that is a rocket of 2 million kilograms.

Thinking of these iron lumps going to explode on the heads of the old guys who are good at singing and dancing, His Majesty Zhu Fugui was so sad that he didn't eat for three days.

Eat all the scallops and big abalone.

All in all, under the all-round support of Da Ming's father, Zuo Zongtang's "slow time" will be greatly shortened.

……

In addition to supporting Zuo Zongtang, Zhu Fugui has one last thing to do before leaving Tianjin.

That is early disaster relief.

The imminent collapse of the Qing Dynasty was indeed caused by frequent natural and man-made disasters.

Zhu Fugui really had no way of predicting the volcanic eruption in Indonesia before.

However, Zhu Fugui is very clear about the disasters that occurred in the homeland of China because of the traditional historical recording habits of the Chinese nation.

In late July of the sixth year of Dewu, the second half of the rainy season in the Huaihai area, there will be a once-in-20-year disaster.

Although the words "once in 20 years" are put in later generations, it seems that they are not qualified to appear in news reports.

It happens once in 50 years, once in a hundred years, and I can't wait for it to happen once in a thousand years, which is the normal state of news headlines.

But for hundreds of millions of people living in the Huanghuai area today, the once-in-20-year disaster is definitely a matter of life and death.

The Yellow River, the mother river, is really indescribable.

This old mother is definitely a climacteric type, not a loving mother.

In the fifth year of Xianfeng in the puppet Qing Dynasty, in 1855 AD, the Yellow River broke through Tongwaxiang in Lanyang and changed its course, leaving the Huaihe River system and returning to the north to flow into the Bohai Sea.

This is also the fixed waterway of the Yellow River in later generations, but it also experienced the incident of bombing Huayuankou with a bald head. It was not until after liberation that after continuous efforts, the waterway was considered stable.

But now, it has only been 13 years since the Yellow River was diverted, and the horrible memory is still in people's hearts.

Moreover, the Yellow River left the Huaihe River like a scumbag, leaving behind a large amount of sediment and a raised and disappeared riverbed.

The term Huaihai was born at this time.

Huaihai Huaihai, the reason why it is called Huaihai, is that every year in June and July, the lower reaches of the Huaihe River will really turn into a vast ocean.

This year, the flood will be even more violent.

It is difficult to estimate the exact loss. Zhu Fugui only knows that in the relevant documents, it says that "the affected population is in the tens of millions, and the dead are 'floating corpses everywhere', and there are related records of 'the entire county was wiped out, and five people lived alone'. "

Chapter 515

To be honest, governing the Huanghuai River and preventing this disaster is beyond the current national strength of Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Fugui felt that as a Chinese, even an ordinary Chinese, he would never forgive himself if he knew the disaster had happened and did not do something in advance.

Therefore, as early as March when he arrived in Tianjin to handle the teaching case, Zhu Fugui ordered the Immigration Bureau of the Ministry of Household Affairs to do a good job of tilting the proportion of immigrants and guiding shipping resources.

Specifically, the Ming Dynasty suspended the priority transfer support for Hakkas in the Tuke Fighting Area, and instead strengthened the immigration support for the hardest-hit areas such as northern Jiangsu and Anhui.

This work was strongly supported by Li Hongzhang.

He was still aching from the ninja's back whiplash, and personally led the slave hunting team into the fields to capture the mud legs alive, and then coaxed or tricked them, or simply tied them to a rope and threw them into a snakeskin bag, forcing them to arrest them in the same way as a strong man.

Especially the red circles drawn by Long Live Lord on the map, as long as they are inside these circles, no matter men, women, old or young, they will be packed and taken away.

Of course, Li Hongzhang himself is from Anhui, and the Huai Army and Huai Army under him already have many Jianghuai people.

Therefore, some well-informed villagers have already dressed up, sang and danced, and waited for the Huai army to sell themselves to Minglijian.

However, there are also many people in many places who are very resistant to the relocation of their families, and even think that this is the Huai people's version of "shoveling villages and destroying households".

This kind of accusation is not unreasonable, because there are many simple and rude things in the work in a hurry.

It is even more inevitable that it will become a history of blood and tears for many families because of the discipline of the Huai Army.

Li Hongzhang felt that if he did this for the emperor, his life would be safe.

Because in Li Hongzhang's view, the so-called flood in July is purely alarmist.

These smart people just want to make big news out of surprise.

In these years, when is the Huaihe River not flooded?

Flooding is a routine operation, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.

These mud legs have long been used to it, and they will take care of themselves.

In Li Hongzhang's view, Emperor Zhu Fugui did not have the ability to control the floods of the Huaihe River, but he still had the courage to catch the young men in the name of the floods of the Huaihe River, and he was very strong.

As for himself, he was Zhu Fugui's thug and the one who took the blame.

Today, the three characters "Li Hongzhang" have become a bad name that can stop children from crying at night in Anhui, north of Jiangsu Province.

"Li Papi is here to catch children again" has become a classic saying of countless Huaihe people to scare children.

Under such self-pollution, Li Hongzhang felt that His Majesty Zhu Fugui would no longer be afraid of himself, and thought of getting rid of it soon.

Li Hongzhang, Lord Li, has been psychologically shadowed by an old eunuch weighing more than 300 kilograms.

However, by mid-July, things took a sharp turn for the worse.

On the [-]th, [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th of July, there was heavy rain in Anhui, southern Henan, and northern Jiangsu.

The Zhengyangguan river water was reported half a day, and the dam broke in two days.

In Surabaya, Yinghe River, and Guohe River, documents and telegrams with urgent water levels came in like snowflakes.

Li Hongzhang was dumbfounded.

He hurriedly rushed to the most exquisite room in the Duke's Mansion - "Sheng Xun Hall".

Needless to say, the luxurious furnishings in the Hadith Hall, but its core is a long wave radio station enshrined in the case.

Since the Southern Uprising, after Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang electrified the whole country one after another, the Qing Dynasty cut off the cables connecting the north and the south.

So now Li Hongzhang wants to listen to the hadith, relying on this precious radio station.

The dispatcher supported by a high salary contacted Tianjin Huangjia, and Li Hongzhang quickly reported the situation in the Huaihai Sea.

On the other end of the telegram, the temporary leader on duty was actually Sha Jingfang.

After learning that the Huai army's task of strengthening the embankment arranged by the Lord Long Live was only perfunctory, Sha Jingfang couldn't help but curse: "Mother Xipi, you are going to be in the history books! Fortunately, I changed my surname!" (Simulated scene, actually Didi Didi’s Morse code wireless telegram)

"Xiaguan... I really don't know, there will be such a big water!"

Li Hongzhang cried bitterly, and said: "But to be honest, if the Huaihe River is so easy to manage, it would have been governed during the pseudo-Xianfeng period. How can I be able to repair those earth dams that are so numerous!"

Sha Jingfang knew what Li Hongzhang was talking about.

In fact, even with the mobilization ability of New China, it takes 500 million laborers and 8 years of hard work to dredge 175 large and small rivers, build 4600 kilometers of dams, and 9 large reservoirs with a total storage capacity of 316 billion cubic meters. Barely solved the flood of the Huaihe River.

Note, just barely.

In 1991 and 2003, the Huaihe River was flooded twice, and countless people were affected.

Until Zhu Fugui crossed over, this long water control battle was still going on, far from over.

Although Sha Jingfang doesn't know these "history", but as an engineering, especially hydraulic engineering expert, Sha Jingfang is in charge of the reconstruction project of the Colorado River.

By analogy, of course, he has also studied the hydrology of the Huaihe River, and knows how huge and desperate this project is.

It is useless to criticize the old-fashioned bureaucrats like Li Hongzhang in this way.

If Li Hongzhang can cure Huaihe, I might as well take his surname!

Thinking of this, Sha Jingfang could only shake his head, and said: "Don't worry too much, Long Live Lord didn't have much hope for you, and tens of thousands of disaster relief troops have already been dispatched from the Wa Island Protectorate to Huaihai Yes, and the most severely affected areas, that is, the residents within the red line, have not already been transferred? We, Daming, do not include you, and we have a clear conscience!"

……

Although he was scolded for nothing by Sha Jingfang, a rebellious son, Li Hongzhang's reputation has undergone a two-level reversal among the Huaihai people.

The flood flooded almost according to the path of the Huai army arresting people, it was amazing.

The titles of "Li Qingtian", "Li Banxian", and "Li Tianwang" all came out.

What's more, Zhou Yushan reported overnight that someone in Bengbu had dug out a "one-eyed stone man" from the mud of the Huaihe River...

This frightened Li Hongzhang half to death. Can this thing be dug casually?He hastily sent his confidantes Pan Dingxin and Wu Changqing to cut through the waves and travel thousands of miles to ransack the house of the old man who thought he was smart and wanted to invest in what he wanted. , and then use a small hammer to knock them into slag piece by piece.

At the same time, Li Hongzhang hastily imported more than 760 tweeters and more than 500 rubber boats from the Ming Concession in Shanghai. He traveled through the country with more enthusiasm than arresting people, beating gongs and drums all the way, and publicized that this was a scheming plan by His Majesty Fugui. , with a high vision, even the Dragon King wants to obey the orders of the saint and heavenly father, and has nothing to do with him, Mr. Li.

In contrast, the rescue forces of the Wajima Governor's Mansion and the Imperial Guard are much larger.

Because the population in the hardest-hit areas has basically been transferred, the remaining people were less affected, mainly due to famine.

So Daming's disaster relief team brought compressed biscuits along with the big speakers.

Compressed biscuits have waterproof packaging and save transportation space. They are the best disaster relief food.

Rich in fat and starch, eating a piece of compressed biscuit and drinking a stomach full of water can last for a long time.

Eating raw water in flood water is naturally very easy to get sick.

But life is almost gone, who cares about that.

Of course, the disaster relief troops of the Ming Dynasty are still different from the soldiers of later generations.

Specifically, compared with the Lighthouse Master during the Colorado hurricane, the Daming disaster relief force had more food and less condoms.

Compared with the people's soldiers, the Ming Wangshi has more rifles and less steel will to build dams with human flesh.

Needless to say about condoms, all arms of the Ming Dynasty have a high-pressure red line for the relationship between men and women. It doesn't matter if you go to Seattle. Anyone who wants to mess around in the garrison can only see the military court.

As for the rifle...

The people in Anhui, northern Jiangsu are not obedient citizens.

There are bandits, gangsters, soldiers, bullies, and everything else. If you want to learn how to wear a life jacket as a soldier, you will kill yourself.

All in all, Daming's rescue wasn't that great, but it wasn't that bad either.

Appearing in this era is a well-deserved heavenly soldier and living Bodhisattva.

When the flood receded, on the land on both sides of the Huaihe River, countless longevity tablets of Zhu Tianzi were erected.

At this point, Zhu Fugui finally embarked on his long-awaited journey home.

Chapter 516

This time, the Shenzhou did not return to the North American headquarters with Sheng Jia.

Because it is said that the Russians have organized a Far East Fleet, which is crawling towards the Far East at a speed of 4-6 knots. It may be repaired in British India, and then launch a sea offensive against Ming Dynasty.

Although the Russian ship is old-fashioned and powered to pull the hips, it is still a new type of ironclad ship after all, and it can be unrivaled in the Far East.

More or less, they can still pose a threat to the Luzon and other territories that have just been recovered by Ming Dynasty and have not yet gained a firm foothold.

Moreover, with Maozi's style, they didn't fight Luzon, Japan, or the mainland of Ming Dynasty, but killed people and set fires in Nanyang. The possibility of Tu Hua venting his anger is also very high.

Therefore, Ming must keep a fleet with high maneuverability, high deterrence, and high combat capability in Nanyang, and strive to stop or annihilate the Russians west of Malacca, and no matter how bad they are, they will not be allowed to flee into the Chinese gathering area in the hinterland of Nanyang.

Therefore, Zhu Fugui Shengjia was on the "Infinite Loyalty" light cruiser this time.

This light cruiser of less than 2800 tons is the first large warship produced by Ming Dynasty, but the quality is very good.

Except for the hip-pull of the firepower system as always, other performances are very good.

Standing on the deck of Infinity Loyalty, Zhu Fugui felt calm and steady, feeling the curling sea breeze and admiring the graceful gliding posture of the albatross, he felt refreshed and happy.

Bai Xia'er was wearing a long white dress and a sun hat, and was shooting the big bird with the original happiness brand camera.

Maybe she does have more artistic talent, Bai Xia'er is not only good at singing and acting, but also quickly mastered photography.
