334 [Southern Flood and North Drought](2/2)

Lu Xiangjin said: “It’s really disappointing.”

Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "When I was commanding troops in the north, I often heard the name of King Zhao Tian. He defeated the local governors several times. I just felt that those governors were incompetent. If I were to lead the army myself, I would definitely destroy the Zhao thieves. But this situation and this scene

, it made me realize that none of the civil servants and generals of the Ming Dynasty could be Zhao Han's opponent."

"What the people want." Lu Xiangjin said.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "In the past, the hearts of the people were the hearts of the scholars and the people. The heads of Guizhou were ignorant, did not distinguish between right and wrong, and did not know the interests and harms, so they could not gather their hearts. Haha, this is a big mistake. The heads of Guizhou were not ignorant, but had nothing to do with them. Zhao Han

Tian Zheng's desire to gather the heads of Guizhou is the real people's aspiration. After the flood, we brothers should also go to Nanjing and see what jobs we can find."

The various armies being mobilized were delayed by heavy rains throughout the Yangtze River Basin.

Heavy rains fell across Jiangxi, Hunan, and Jiangnan, eventually forming a flood peak in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. All major tax-paying offices in Susong, Changhu, and Changhu were hit by floods, and countless farmlands along the coast of Taihu Lake were inundated.

Floods in the south and drought in the north!

Shandong not only suffers from drought, but also suffers from locust plague. The entire province is filled with migratory locusts.

Puzhou Prefecture was the worst affected, with all the vegetation eaten away. The government dug pits directly outside the city gate to bury the corpses, and the hungry people dug the holes to dig up the corpses, cut the corpses and ate their flesh. There were also family members who starved to death. In the morgue, the father and son looked at each other.

There are many eaters.

Fortunately, Zhang Guowei was appointed as the Jiangnan Water Conservancy Envoy. Since last summer, he has been building the Jiangnan Water Conservancy. He also provided work-for-relief, allowing many hungry people to survive the famine.

The damage caused by this year's floods is far less than that in history.

"Instructions are sent that the troops stationed in various places will postpone the dispatch of troops and rush to the disaster areas to rescue the people!"

This was the first military order issued by Zhao Han himself after moving to Nanjing.
