After the soldiers responsible for exploring Wudu County and Xiabian County reported back, a group of soldiers who went to Xiangwu County also turned back.
The content of the report was basically the same as that of the previous two counties. No disaster occurred within the territory, and the entire county was not affected by the sandstorm!
The situation in the next few counties was similar, and they were basically not affected.
However, those soldiers who were sent to Lueyang County, Langan County and other serious disaster areas have not made any move!
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The soldiers are just investigating the situation first. There is no danger!"
"Yes, those counties are relatively far away, and there are no trains, so transportation can only rely on horses, and the speed will definitely not be fast!"
"That's right! Let's wait patiently! After the soldiers report the situation, we will adjust the corresponding disaster relief policies according to the actual situation...!"
The veterans knew that Ying Feiyu was worried, so they all started to persuade him.
"Um!"
Ying Feiyu nodded.
The old guys were right, he was indeed worried about the soldiers who went out to explore.
What if the yellow sand is in serious condition and disappears when you step on it?
This time they brought a lot of soldiers and relief supplies, and there will be a steady stream of food and medicine delivered in the future.
If we don’t know the specific situation of those counties, we can’t allocate them reasonably.
"Your Majesty, we all released the managers of newspapers, steel mills, paper mills and other industries last night. Their emotions should have almost recovered by now. Do you want to go and have a look? And Shi Jianduo, too. I have been imprisoned by the old minister, do you want to be interrogated again? What else can I ask if I can’t protect you!"
Wang Ben wanted to divert his attention with these things.
This way, time will pass faster!
"Yeah! That's good!"
Ying Feiyu glanced outside the government office, but there was still no movement, and then nodded.
Most of the managers under his property were transferred from Xianyang. They were sent to jail for no reason. They felt a little unbalanced and needed to be appeased.
"Your Majesty, we all know that it's all the fault of that bitch Wang Zhiming. He keeps us trapped here just because he's afraid that we'll report the information to you!"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the government officials have no time to pay attention to us. We didn't suffer, we just barely ate, haha!"
When the president, stewards and shopkeepers saw Ying Feiyu, they quickly bowed their hands and said they were fine.
"The people in the city are also trapped at home. After losing their income, many people have no food, let alone you?"
Ying Feiyu could tell from their faces that they must not have had enough to eat in the past few months.
"It doesn't matter, life has been so good in recent years. We have gained a lot of fat on our bodies. We can hold on for a while just by relying on this fat!"
"Yes! I just took this opportunity to lose weight and feel lighter!"
"That's right! When we see that guy Wang Zhiming in the future, we have to thank him properly...!"
The shopkeepers tried their best to find various excuses, just to prevent Ying Feiyu from worrying.
Ying Feiyu knew it well, smiled slightly, and said nothing more.
None of the shopkeepers under him have ever let him down!
"Report..."
"Your Majesty, the soldiers who went to Lueyang County have returned!"
After a while, a soldier came to report.
After hearing this, Ying Feiyu hurried to Zhengya.
A group of soldiers were standing in the yard outside Zhengya, covered with dust, as if they had just climbed out of a pile of sand, with sand all over their bodies, including their hair!
Seeing this scene, the veterans were shocked!
"Did you come back from Luoyang?"
Ying Feiyu asked.
"That's right!"
As soon as the soldiers held up their hands, all the sand on their bodies fell into the yard.
"How is it? Are there any casualties?"
"Your Majesty, there are no casualties!"
Hearing such reports from the soldiers, Ying Feiyu felt relieved and asked in a deep tone, "What's the situation over there in Lueyang now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, Lueyang County has become an empty city. Half of the city has been buried by yellow sand. Only the roof of the county government office is left. The villages below have also been affected. If you don't look carefully, you can't tell. That’s a village…!”
The soldiers gave a rough description of the situation in Lueyang. After hearing this, Ying Feiyu and the veterans felt very uncomfortable.
"Is there no one alive in the entire Lueyang County?"
Before Ying Feiyu could ask further questions, Chunyu Yue spoke first.
"Yes! Yes...!"
The soldiers nodded repeatedly, "Because there was a desert everywhere, it was difficult for us to identify the direction through the map. We stumbled into a mountain forest and found smoke curling up in the mountains. When we went up to look at it, we realized that they were people from a nearby disaster-stricken village! Huang After the sand hit, they had no place to run, so they drove their livestock to the mountains to take shelter! Unexpectedly, the yellow sand blew for more than two months. The villagers had already eaten all the food they had brought, and they wanted to drive their livestock away from here. I am afraid of danger on the road, so I can only hide in the mountains for a while and make a living by hunting prey and picking wild fruits!"
"Yes! We thought that since the people here ran to the mountains, we couldn't guarantee that there were people in the mountains near other villages, so after a brief appeasement, we searched around, specifically looking for places with mountains and water. As expected, we really found a lot of people! We will mark the locations of the people and bring more people back to rescue them!"
The number of people Wang Bi and Zhang Han led was not large. One team only had about a hundred people. Once everyone was dispersed in the county, a small team only had seven or eight people, and they could not take away that many people.
So they first recorded their locations, and then relocated them together after the large rescue force arrived!
"well!"
Ying Feiyu nodded happily, this was considered good news among many bad news.
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers who went to Didao County, Langan County and other places to investigate also returned one after another, and the news they reported was basically the same.
The yellow sand was so severe that the county government offices were all gone, let alone receiving and sending telegrams.
Some people fled early and were trapped in some counties that were not severely affected.
Others had no choice but to leave because of the increasing sandstorms. They left relatively late and found a relatively safe place nearby to stay temporarily.
Ying Feiyu and the veterans discussed the disaster relief plan overnight based on the soldiers' reports.
Knowing that the area affected by the disaster was large, Ying Feiyu directly mobilized an army of 100,000 people, as well as 50,000 craftsmen summoned by the Ministry of Industry, to come to Longxi together.
Among the eight counties, three were particularly severely affected, while the other five were in slightly better condition.
After some discussion, Kang Anping, Chun Yuyue, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and Kang Anping each brought 10,000 troops and 4,000 craftsmen to rescue all the trapped people and help them restore their homes.
Zhang Han and Han Xin each led 15,000 troops and 10,000 craftsmen to the areas with slightly better conditions among the three hardest-hit areas to rescue the people, distribute food and medicine to the people, and rebuild their homes in suitable places!
And he took Wang Ben with him and the remaining 20,000 soldiers and 20,000 craftsmen to Lueyang County, which was the most severely affected.
This place has almost become a desert, and it is difficult to rebuild, so the most soldiers and craftsmen are left!
