Chapter 145 The Imperial Academy Army Arrives
Hu County Government Office.
Wei Shuyu stood solemnly at the entrance of the county government office.
After a series of threats and inducements, Liang Jianfang finally relented.
However, there is one point: if Wei Shuyu's arrangements are wrong, he has the right to veto them.
"The centurions stepped forward, and each squad was divided into ten men to patrol and provide relief within the city."
"Remember these four points..."
"First, save those nearby, then those farther away!"
Second, save those who are easy to save first.
"Third, prioritize rescuing young and able-bodied adults and expand the rescue team."
"Fourth, save the living first, then the dead. If there's no time, first expose the trapped person's head so they can breathe, then go and save others..."
"Set off!"
Wow.
The words fell.
A large group of soldiers left in the blink of an eye.
Although Liang Jianfang had arranged for people to search and rescue, the methods were far less efficient than Wei Shuyu's.
"The military doctors and traditional Chinese medicine practitioners stepped forward. Some stayed behind to stand by, while the rest followed the rescue team in pairs."
"Also remember a few points: first rescue, then immobilize, then move..."
After giving a series of instructions, Liang Jianfang organized a team, and the military doctor also left.
“Magistrate Luo, you will be in charge of mobilizing the people to clean the streets and keep them away from steep slopes and tall buildings. In this hot weather, do not seek shade in corners, under bridges, or in the shade of trees.”
"In addition, we organized manpower to work together to build temporary housing sites."
"The remaining doctors and military physicians are also gathered there, ready to rescue the wounded at any time!"
Magistrate Luo accepted the order and left with his yamen runners.
After issuing several more policies, Wei Shuyu looked at Liang Jianfang...
"General Liang, prepare to open the granaries and distribute the grain!"
After a slight hesitation, Liang Jianfang said, "Opening the granaries and distributing grain requires imperial approval."
"What a load of crap."
Wei Shuyu replied angrily, "With the people in such a state, do you think His Majesty will not open the granaries to distribute grain?"
"this……"
Liang Jianfang was even more embarrassed. He leaned closer to Wei Shuyu and whispered, "Hey, little censor, don't you know why you came to the military camp?"
Um?
Wei Shuyu was taken aback.
His eyes widened immediately: "You're not saying there's no food?"
Liang Jianfang nodded with a wry smile.
Yuchi Gong kept this a secret, only reporting it to Li Shimin in secret.
If the court officials find out...
Most of the generals in the entire military camp suffered greatly.
"If someone embezzled military rations, where did the rations go? Shouldn't it be easy to find out with a simple investigation?" Wei Shuyu asked incredulously.
"Let me tell you the truth..."
Liang Jianfang pulled Wei Shuyu aside and said, "The grain wasn't embezzled; it was switched and turned into a pile of sand."
"Don't you guys inspect them?"
"It has been tested."
Liang Jianfang said with a wry smile, "Not only did I inspect it, but Marshal Yuchi also saw it. At that time, we still had a lot of grain stored, so we put the new grain in the warehouse. But who knew that half a month later, the grain inexplicably turned into sand."
"..."
You guys are really something.
Even in your own warehouse, something could be switched out.
Thank goodness I didn't check the ledgers.
If they investigate this, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
"etc……"
Wei Shuyu frowned: "That's your army's grain, what does it have to do with Hu County? Hu County should also have its own reserve granaries, right?"
"Cough cough..."
Liang Jianfang coughed awkwardly: "It's because the military camp ran out of food, so we had to use the granaries in Hu County."
Shameless!
Wei Shuyu was at a loss for words.
No wonder Yuchi Gong didn't mention anything about military rations when I arrived at the military camp.
Come to think of it, if such an embarrassing incident were to come out, would Lao Wei still agree to the marriage?
This is a plan to finalize the marriage first, leaving the Wei family with a bitter pill to swallow.
"General Liang, now I have even more reason to suspect you of embezzling military rations," Wei Shuyu said with disdain.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Liang Jianfang's eyes widened, and he pounded his chest, roaring, "This general is utterly loyal!"
They argued for a while.
Liang Jianfang vowed to fully cooperate and follow Wei Shuyu's instructions, after which Wei Shuyu let Liang Jianfang go.
"Let's report to the imperial court and ask them to allocate some grain," Wei Shuyu sighed.
Liang Jianfang accepted the order and arranged for people to go to the imperial court to request grain.
Wei Shuyu led everyone in fighting on the front lines.
While they were busily setting up temporary shelters, the soldiers who had been sent to the imperial court to request grain returned.
"Report."
The soldiers dismounted and hurried up.
"General Liang, Junior Censor..."
The soldier caught his breath before saying, "Something terrible has happened. The imperial court is temporarily out of food and has given us seven days to hold out."
"What?"
Wei Shuyu was completely dumbfounded: "How come the imperial court is out of food?"
The soldier gave a wry smile: "The area around Chang'an was completely destroyed by the earthquake, and a lot of grain was crushed."
"And there's also the flooding in Yangzhou, so we're all focused on that."
Wei Shuyu immediately understood.
The earthquake damaged a lot of food, but some of it is still edible.
The floodwaters destroyed most of the food crops, rendering them almost entirely unusable.
Now Wei Shuyu was in a dilemma.
Food is not so easy to obtain.
If he has more time, he might be able to get some.
But where can we find one in such a short time?
In the face of disaster, food is always the top priority.
"General Liang, do you have any ideas?" Wei Shuyu asked Liang Jianfang.
"No."
Liang Jianfang answered very fluently.
"If you don't have it, then think about it..."
Wei Shuyu became even more disdainful: "You are the commander-in-chief of the rescue of Hu County. If there are a lot of casualties among the people, you will be in deep trouble."
"Aren't you the one in command?"
Liang Jianfang's eyes widened immediately.
"You're the nominal commander-in-chief."
Holy crap.
Liang Jianfang was stunned.
"What to do? What to do?"
Liang Jianfang paced back and forth anxiously, and then a stream of brilliant ideas suddenly burst forth...
"Robbing bandits?"
"Robbery of local gentry?"
"Exploiting the people?"
"Out-of-towners are stealing grain?"
As he watched the wounded being moved here one by one, Liang Jianfang immediately revealed a resentful look.
So why would I save so many people?
Is it to starve more people to death?
Just then, a large group of people approached from a distance, rumbling like bulldozers.
Anyone who dares to stop them will be brutally beaten.
"Big brother, Shenji, Shandao, we're here..."
Led by Fang Yi'ai, the Imperial College army arrived in a grand and imposing manner.
"remains!"
Choi Shin-ki's eyes lit up.
My buddy's here...
"Remains, weren't you confined to your quarters?"
"What ban? There was an earthquake, how could my dad still lock me in the house?"
Choi Shin-ki suddenly realized.
The group began to chatter on and on about the past.
suddenly……
Choi Shin-ki turned his gaze to Yu Chi Huan.
"Remains, I've been looked down upon, help me beat him up!"
Swish...
The Imperial Academy's army, numbering over thirty men, all turned their gaze toward Yuchi Huan.
Yu Chi Huan's heart clenched suddenly, and he instinctively took a step back.
No way, no way...
You wouldn't be so uncivilized as to use your numbers to bully the few, would you?
"Brothers, let's go! Beat him up!"
Choi Shin-ki waved his hand.
