The Little Glacier Natural Scourge in the late Ming Dynasty was a famous natural disaster in history, a natural disaster that was enough to destroy a kingdom and a dynasty.

It is no way to verify when this natural disaster began.

Some historical records show that during the Longqing period, European countries experienced food crises due to the Little Glacier Natural Disaster.

Some historical materials show that during the Jiajing period, Japan experienced a large number of civil unrest due to the impact of the natural disaster of the Little Glacier River.

Some historical records show that during the Hongwu period, the Ming Dynasty was affected by the natural disaster of the Little Glacier River. The temperature dropped significantly.

Some historical materials show that at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, various signs of natural disasters of small glaciers occurred.

In short, there are many different opinions on when the natural disaster of the Little Glacier began, and no one is in love.

However, the natural disaster of Little Glacier suddenly began to intensify around the 28th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty, and there is no controversy, because from that time on, the drought in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty continued to rise and became more and more intense.

In other words, by the time of the Tianqi Dynasty, the people in the northwest had been tortured by severe droughts for more than 20 years.

During this period, I don’t know how many victims fled south, nor do I know how many refugees rushed to the five roads, eight prefectures and nine provinces under the jurisdiction of Yunyang Fuzhi.

What's strange is that in the first year of the Tianqi period, the refugees were suddenly stopped and reduced.

What's going on?

Could it be that this year, the drought in the northwest experienced a rare relief?

Of course not. Once the natural disaster of the Little Glacier River breaks out in full swing, it will only become more and more serious, and it will not suddenly slow down another year or something.

The reason why refugees were greatly reduced this year was because Qingliu and Donglin were completely in power and the people were in full swing.

They are not doing anything serious, and they still attach great importance to the disaster in the northwest. In order to provide disaster relief, they frantically sent inspectors to inspect and punish corrupt officials everywhere in the northwest, supervising the distribution of disaster relief money and grain. Even in areas with severe disasters, they would order people to open warehouses and release grain on the spot to provide relief to the victims.

For example, when Bi Maokang inspected Shaanxi, he had placed granaries and set up porridge farms, and tens of thousands of victims were alive.

This is someone who has made every effort to provide disaster relief, so the situation in the northwest is different.

You should know that most ordinary people are hard to leave their hometowns. Whoever can survive when they can live, will they be willing to leave their hometowns and become refugees?

Therefore, in the first year of Tianqi, refugees not only did not increase sharply due to the increasingly serious drought, but instead reduced a wave of refugees because of Qingliu's full efforts to provide disaster relief.

This shows that sometimes, the clean flow of the two sleeves still has a certain effect.

This also proves that as long as the Ming Dynasty court makes every effort to provide disaster relief, the victims in the northwest can still be stabilized for a period of time. Even if they can't be stabilized in the end, as long as the local officials from Shaanxi to Huguang to Jiangxi and even to Nanzhili are all clean and honest, the court has a way to gradually evacuate the victims to the south.

Although many people would inevitably die at that time, at least the victims would not rebel because they lost hope of survival.

Unfortunately, Qingliu was destined to fail to do this because their performance in party struggles was too clumsy, and they were no match for the corrupt officials represented by the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party.

They are in power, and they are temporary. Once the corrupt officials represented by the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party have caught a chance, they can hold them down and make them unable to move.

Now, before the first year of Tianqi had passed, Wei Zhongxian and Eunuch Wei began to gradually take power. The Qi Chu and Zhejiang Party and corrupt officials rushed to join forces, using the nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei to suppress Qingliu and Donglin. Soon, they were held down.

The direct result of their suppression was that no one would take care of the victims in the northwest, and the court's disaster relief money and food were no longer distributed to the victims, and the tide of refugees began to appear again, and it became more and more intense.

In this situation, the first thing to discover was not the imperial court, nor the governor of Xue Zhen in Yunyang, but the Zhu Qishi, the crazy king of Zhejiang and Sichuan.

Because he learned the lesson of being sneak attacked by Fang Kezhuang last time, he had already spread all over his secret guards.

At this moment, not only did he install secret guards in various parts of Nanyang Prefecture, but all the prefectures around Nanyang Prefecture have secret guards in various parts of Nanyang Prefecture. Therefore, he could quickly notice any movement in the nearby prefectures.

This time, the refugees were discovered as soon as they flocked to Shangluo Road and Hanzhong Prefecture. Moreover, many of his secret guards had already sneaked into various refugee groups.

However, he didn't say anything this time, nor did he let Liu Ruoyu hint that Xue Zhen wanted him to have the ability to accept refugees, because Xue Zhen was so outrageous that he dared to even rob his money. He wanted to use this refugee tide to drive this guy away!

The refugees rushed over, and Xue Zhen, a Yunyang Fuzhi who was specializing in the refugees, naturally received the news soon.

His reaction was different from the previous Yunyang Fuzhi.

In the past, when Fuzhi in Yunyang heard that the refugees were rushing, they were one and two big, and they were frowning every day. When he heard that the refugees were rushing, he was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.

The refugees have finally arrived, and the opportunity to make a fortune has come!

One thing is that his performance is similar to the previous Yunyang tutoring. When he received the news, he immediately submitted a rush to the court for 800 miles, asking the court to allocate money and grain to provide relief to the victims.

However, in the past, Yunyang Fuzhi asked the court to allocate disaster relief money and grain, mostly because he really wanted to provide relief to the victims, but what he wanted was not to provide relief to the victims, but to give himself a gift!

As for what arouses civil unrest, he is not afraid at all, because there are people in his court, and there are nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei who is guarding him. What is the point of arousing civil unrest? As long as it can be suppressed, it will be another great achievement!

Therefore, he was very greedy, very unscrupulous, and very crazy.

The first batch was to provide relief to 100,000 victims, and he swallowed more than half of them in one bite.

Lord Fuzhi is like this, so the officials below him naturally follow suit. You must know that many of them have gained power through Xue Zhen's relationship.

In other words, many of them were given money to Xue Zhen before they became local officials under Yunyang Fuzhi.

These people are quite crazy and unscrupulous when they become greedy. With the caress of the Lord Fu Zhi, they are afraid of a ball!

In the end, almost all the disaster relief money and food distributed by the court was greedy by officials from Xue Zhen, and even the ones that could be distributed to refugees were not even a bowl of porridge.

They were eating so hard that they were filled with oil, but more than 100,000 refugees were so hungry that they screamed.

This has not happened in the five roads, eight prefectures and nine prefectures in Yunyang area.

Because the big men who controlled the imperial court in the past understood the importance of Yunyang. It can be said that as long as Yunyang is stabilized, the northwest refugees will basically be stabilized, because most of the northwest refugees flow to the Yunyang area. As long as this place is managed well, the refugees will not be able to jump around.

Therefore, the tutors sent to Yunyang in the past were basically the kind of officials who were more famous in the officialdom, or old men in the officialdom, who could really become officials and manage affairs.

At this moment, the nine thousand-year-old Eunuch Wei is in charge of the court. How could he care about these things? He only cares about the power he can seize. He wants to capture all the power he can obtain!

The reason why he sent Xue Zhen to serve as the governor of Yunyang was because Xue Zhen knew how to be a human being and would be a filial son and grandson for him!

As for Xue Zhen's insatiable and extremely greedy, he thought it was not a bad thing. It's better to be greedy and to be greedy and to be able to control it.
