Tu Boda's narrowed eyes showed a series of sharp lights, "The waves are surging, and there is night as a cover at night. It seems that the Song army will find it difficult to find our boat."

He obviously felt that this strategy was highly implemented.

Although this will inevitably lead to losses of many dead soldiers, as long as the Song army on the sea can severely damage the Song army, such losses are really insignificant.

The more I thought about it, the more excited Tu Boda became, and sat upright and said to the young general: "If this plan is successful, I will remember your first contribution! Now, you go down and select the dead soldiers! I will leave all the naval warships and boats in the army to you to dispatch!"

The young general showed a slight excitement and bowed: "The last general will take the order!"

Then hurried out toward the tent.

Tu Boda swept over the other generals with dissatisfaction and waved his hand angrily, "You guys go down too!"

All the generals left his tent one after another.

The young general soon began to arrange his arrangements in full swing in the military camp.

The night falls quietly.

In Changsha City, the imperial study room in the palace was still on.

Zhao Dongting sat on the bed wearing a nightgown. In front of him, he was the State Councilor Lu Xiufu, as well as the Minister of Water Resources and two ministers under the Ministry of State's Ministry of Water Resources.

They rushed to the palace overnight to seek a meeting, and it was obvious that something was important.

Zhao Dongting sat on the bed, his face looking very ugly.

This is not a good thing.

Although the autumn harvest had ended at this time, the Song Dynasty also encountered rare floods and disasters.

It was still half a month ago that there was heavy rain pouring down, even in Changsha City.

Now, the flood has finally exploded and has swept across Tanzhou, Hengzhou, Yongzhou and other places in a short period of time, almost spreading the entire Jinghu South Road.

The losses of the people in Tanzhou alone, Changsha, Xiangtan, Ningxiang, Yiyang, Xiangxiang and other places are already incalculable.

I don’t know how many people’s houses were destroyed in the flood, and countless people were killed in the flood.

Although the defenders of each city received early warning from the Ministry of Water Resources and actively organized rescues, due to the restrictions of science and technology in this era, the situation is still difficult to control and the losses are immeasurable.

That night, the disaster memorials from Yongzhou, Chenzhou and other places were finally submitted to the Ministry of State.

The messenger sent it overnight.

The floods and disasters suffered in these places are completely different from Tanzhou.

Some villages and towns are even completely submerged in floods.

There are countless mountain torrents and landslides caused by floods.

Reports submitted by various places are asking the court to send troops to provide disaster relief, and no place has yet to count the specific losses.

This year, the food that the people hoarded on Jinghu South Road is probably going to waste.

Zhao Dongting could imagine that after the disaster ended, countless refugees would inevitably appear on Jinghu South Road.

And these refugees must be resettled by the court.

The Minister of Water Resources and two ministers of the Ministry of Water Resources fell to him and apologized, but Zhao Dongting had no intention of suing him.

In fact, water conservancy in the Song Dynasty has developed well over the years, but it is impossible to avoid the occurrence of floods and floods.

In the era when he lived in his previous life, weren’t there still floods?

After looking at the almost wet memorial in front of him for a long time, Zhao Dongting waved his hand to let the Minister of Water Resources and the two ministers rise up, sighing: "Floods and floods are inevitable, and this natural disaster is not all your crime. Please take it as a warning and work hard to develop our Song Dynasty water conservancy projects.

As for now, let’s think about how to stop the disaster from spreading!”

When the Minister of Water Resources heard this, he bowed with guilt and said, "Your Majesty, I have ordered water conservancy officials from all over the country to prepare for the fight against floods and floods more than ten days ago.

However, the number of defenders in each prefecture and county is limited, and facing natural disasters such as floods, it is really difficult to save the people from water and fire... It is probably difficult for us to resist floods. I think that maybe it is only possible to wait for the floods to dissipate naturally..." He couldn't bear to say anything further.

Zhao Dongting frowned, "What do you mean is to let me give up the plan to resist floods with manpower and make plans to resettle refugees?"

The Minister of Water Resources did not answer, but silently lowered his head, which was equivalent to default.

Zhao Dongting also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.

With current technology and technology, flood fighting can only be said to be doing its best. After all, disaster relief is the real priority.

He looked at Lu Xiufu and asked, "What are Lu Aiqing's plans?"

Lu Xiufu bowed slightly and said, "Go back to the emperor, the old minister has discussed this matter with the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Agriculture.

There are only two things to save refugees. One is to provide these refugees with a place to stay, and the other is to give them food and clothing to wear.

After the flood passes, they will arrange for them to go home.

However...the remaining grain and grass in Jinghu South Road is certainly difficult to satisfy itself, and the grain in Jiangnan West Road, Fujian Road, Guangnan West Road and other places needs to be used by the front-line army.

If disaster relief is first carried out, the old minister is worried that if something happens on the front line, there may be insufficient food and grass."

Zhao Dongting frowned even more, "What about the Finance Department?"

Lu Xiufu replied: "The Finance Department can still allocate some more funds to avoid affecting the military pay of the frontline soldiers.

But in this case, the remaining money in the Finance Department is probably not enough.

After the flood, the court may have to live a hard life.”

Zhao Dongting thought for a moment when he heard this, and said, "No matter what, disaster relief is the priority.

If I can’t even protect the people in my territory, no matter how much territory I have captured, it will be meaningless."

Lu Xiufu was slightly stunned when he heard this, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Let the Ministry of Agriculture first order the local government to find ways to transport grain to assist Jinghu South Road."

"The soldiers on the front line..." Lu Xiufu said in confusion.

Zhao Dongting gritted his teeth, "I will find a way."

Seeing Zhao Dongting say this, Lu Xiufu still nodded.

He felt that the emperor said there was a way, so there must be a way. After all, the emperor has not disappointed them yet.

"etc!"

And when they resigned, Zhao Dongting suddenly stopped him.

Lu Xiufu turned around and said, "What are the emperor's instructions?"

Zhao Dongting said: "Lu Aiqing, you will issue a call to all places in the name of the Ministry of State to invite doctors from all over the country to come to Jinghu South Road.

There will be an epidemic after the flood, which is likely to be greater than the disaster of floods. We must be careful early.

It may be difficult for the imperial doctors in the palace and the priests of Baicao Temple to deal with such disasters."

"I received the order."

Lu Xiufu bowed and slowly walked out of the imperial study room.

Zhao Dongting was silent for a long time in the imperial study room.

Although he was a lot of Lu Xiufu said that he had a solution, this method also requires thinking with his head.

In this era, resilience to disasters is definitely not an easy task.

Although it ultimately depends on issues such as food and clothing, just such a problem is enough to make people worry.

Although Zhao Dongting was the emperor, he could not convert food out of thin air.

I thought there would be no disaster this year, but I didn’t expect that after the autumn harvest, such a large area of ​​floods still occurred.

Zhao Dongting felt very bitter in his heart.

If he had known this would have happened, he would never have sent troops to attack Yuan this year.

Although the Song Dynasty did not have a system of garrisoning troops, even if the imperial guards in each military region were within the military region, the food and supplies were supplied by the court, but they could always hold on.

But now they are on the front line, but there must be no problems with food and grass.

If there is a problem with the food and grass, the soldiers who died or injured will not be a little bit.

It was not until the night was deep that Zhao Dongting left the imperial study room and returned to the bedroom.

He went to Lechan's room.

Le Chan was awakened by the movement he made. Seeing Zhao Dongting's frowning look, she asked, "What happened again?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I just received reports from Yongzhou, Chenzhou and other places, and the disaster there was even worse than Changsha.

The severity of this flood disaster has exceeded my expectations. If the remaining food in China is allocated to help the victims, I don’t know if it can still ensure the food supply of frontline soldiers.”

"Is it so serious?"
