Chapter 855: It Is Not Easy to Shock, but Once It Does, It Will Shock the World! Please Forgive Me for Disobeying the King's Order and Acting on My Own!

An earthquake struck, but none of the Qin monarchs and ministers had solemn and sad faces. Instead, everyone had a sincere smile and respect on their faces.

Compared to an earthquake and the people who died in it, a great witch who was loved by heaven and earth and believed by the world was more important to the Qin!

Only Ying Chengjiao had an extremely ugly face, and even murmured palely: "Zheng County? Zheng County!"

"I knew there would be an earthquake in Guanzhong this year, but I never expected it."

"This earthquake would actually break out in Zheng County!!!"

What is not well known is that.

Five hundred and forty-four years ago, Zheng moved its capital to today's Xinzheng. From five hundred and forty-four years ago to the founding of Zheng, the capital of Zheng was always located in Qilin in Guanzhong!

Four hundred and fifty-seven years ago, Qin seized Qilin and changed its name to Zheng County.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Zheng County was changed to Huazhou!

What is well known is

The most severe earthquake in Chinese history and the most deadly earthquake in human history are the Guanzhong earthquake, also known as the Huazhou earthquake!

In the 34th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1556), a magnitude 8.0-8.3 earthquake with an intensity of 11 degrees broke out with Huazhou as the center. The earthquake waves shook the entire China. The land within a radius of 280,000 square kilometers was shaken, the ground cracked like a painting, and the Yellow River backflowed. 830,000 people died, and the number of unnamed people was incalculable! ! !

You have to know that it was during the Ming Dynasty when there were no reinforced concrete structures, no high-rise buildings, no urbanization, and the population was relatively scattered and mostly lived in single-story houses!

And this Huazhou is that Huazhou!

Huazhou is not easily shaken, but when it is shaken, it will shock the world!

Ying Chengjiao shouted without hesitation: "Order!"

"All the plows, hoes and hoes in the Chang'an and Lantian workshops should be loaded onto trucks and sent to Zheng County!"

"Take half of the grain stored in the Chang'an Palace and load it onto trucks and send it to Zheng County!"

"All the students of the Qin Military Academy should rush to Lantian County, meet up with me along the way, and go to Zheng County with me!"

Ying Chengjiao's anxious and uneasy voice shattered the smiles and respect on the faces of the Qin monarchs and ministers.

Ying Zheng immediately asked: "My brother, is there something wrong?!"

Ying Chengjiao said in a very heavy voice: "The intensity that is enough to be recorded in the history books is only the lower limit of this earthquake."

"As for its upper limit, I don't know."

"And Zheng County is located at the intersection of the earth veins, and the surrounding area is mainly loess. Once the earthquake occurs, the groundwater may also spray out, further aggravating the disaster!"

"Even if there is an earthquake in Chang'an Township or even Xianyang City, I will not be too worried."

"But now the epicenter is in Zheng County, how can I not be anxious!"

As he spoke, another obvious tremor came, and many court officials were unsteady on their feet, and the smiles on their faces completely disappeared.

Being in Lantian County, they could not directly feel how severe the earthquake in Zheng County was.

But Ying Chengjiao's words made them worry.

Ying Zheng's heart tightened even more, and he grabbed Ying Chengjiao's arm tightly, saying solemnly: "In this case, my brother should not go to Zheng County in person!"

"My brother really doesn't need to go to Zheng County in person."

"Brother will send officials to help the victims."

"Zheng County is located in Neishi County, there will be no chaos, my brother does not need to worry!"

Even Lantian County, which is more than a hundred miles away, felt such obvious vibrations. Ying Zheng couldn't imagine how miserable Zheng County, which was at the epicenter, would be.

How could Ying Zheng bear to let Ying Chengjiao go to such a dangerous place!

Ying Chengjiao shook his head, looked at Ying Zheng and asked, "How to provide relief?"

"Allocate food, medicine, and tools, and then the county magistrate of Zheng County and the county magistrates of surrounding counties will lead the panicked county soldiers and able-bodied men to save themselves, and then lend tools to the people, and return them in full after the people rebuild their homes?"

"Is that enough?"

Ying Zheng said sincerely, "That's enough!"

Lü Buwei sighed softly, "And my Great Qin can't do more!"

"Otherwise, my Great Qin's reward and punishment system will be destroyed!"

Ying Zheng could hear Ying Chengjiao's dissatisfaction with such a disaster relief policy in his words.

But such a disaster relief policy was not implemented until Lü Buwei took office as the prime minister of the Great Qin, and it was opposed by all the officials at the beginning!

The reason was explained very clearly by King Zhaoxiang of Qin.

In the law of my Qin, people are rewarded for their merits and punished for their crimes. Now distributing fruits and vegetables from the five gardens will make people rewarded regardless of merit. Making people rewarded regardless of merit is the way to chaos!

Disaster relief is a kind of reward in the eyes of the Qin Dynasty. If the Qin Dynasty rewards everyone in a place just because a disaster occurred in a place, it will be a huge blow to the reward and punishment system of the Qin Dynasty!

So let alone allocating food and manpower to disaster relief, the victims can't even go to the Qin King's five gardens to dig wild vegetables that the Qin King would not eat to fill their stomachs!

King Zhaoxiang of Qin did rely on a strict reward and punishment system to make the Qin war machine more warlike and courageous, laying a solid foundation for the unification of the Qin Dynasty.

It was not until Lu Buwei defined disaster relief as a national move to protect the manpower of the whole people to help the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty that Lu Buwei found a crack in the way of rewards and punishments, allowing the Qin court to provide the minimum material relief to the people in the disaster area!

But this is the limit.

Otherwise, the current rewards and punishments and the strict punishments to control the people of the Qin Dynasty will all collapse!

Ying Chengjiao said in a low voice: "I know what you said, elder brother."

"I really don't understand the government affairs in the court, and I don't know how to govern the country."

"The policy of governing the country should be decided by the king and his colleagues."

Ying Chengjiao slowly pried open Ying Zheng's hands, and his voice became more firm: "Yes!"

"What I eat is the fat of the people."

"Now the people are suffering, I can't just sit back and watch!"

"It is often said in the court that I love to disobey the king's orders, and I never accept it."

"But today, please forgive me for disobeying the king's orders and going my own way!"

Taking two steps back, Ying Chengjiao bowed solemnly to Ying Zheng, and then turned around and shouted: "Chang'an Jun's personal soldiers are all there!"

"Take the sword and hold the hoe, and follow me!"

Looking at Ying Chengjiao's resolute back, Ying Zheng unconsciously stretched out his hand and shouted worriedly: "King brother!!!"

However, Lu Buwei gently pressed Ying Zheng's arm and whispered: "King, let Chang'an Jun go."

"My Great Qin Severe punishments have been in place for a long time, and the wars have been going on for years, with countless casualties. The Qin people in Guanzhong are inevitably resentful of our Great Qin. "

"I think that disaster relief is a good deed to win the hearts of the people."

"Our Great Qin is not convenient to do so due to the reward and punishment system, but Chang'an Jun's departure is a disobedience to the king's order and his willful behavior. It has nothing to do with our Great Qin's national policy and the decision of the court."

"Only Chang'an Jun, who often disobeys the king's orders, does not follow the strategy, acts recklessly and has great military achievements, will not cause criticism from all parties, and the king has reason not to punish him severely!"

Lü Buwei looked at Ying Zheng and said, "Moreover, the many craftsman-made things developed by Chang'an Jun will surely change our Great Qin."

"The reward and punishment system of our Great Qin should also change!"

Lü Buwei has always hated Ying Chengjiao's carefree behavior.

But in the current environment, Ying Chengjiao's recklessness has become a good opportunity for the Qin Dynasty.

A good opportunity to further consolidate the hearts of the people of Guanzhong.

A good opportunity to pry open the current reward and punishment system of the Qin Dynasty!

Ying Le also advised gently: "Don't worry, my king."

"It is dangerous where the earth dragon turns over, but Chang'an Jun is a great witch who can drive the earth dragon!"

"The earth dragon will hurt anyone, but it will definitely not hurt Chang'an Jun."

"And if the earth dragon turns over this time, it is really as powerful as Chang'an Jun said, it would be good for Chang'an Jun to go there in person."

"It can not only bid farewell to the earth dragon, but also calm people's hearts!"

After the earthquake, the people wailed and their morale collapsed.

Even local officials found it difficult to organize them to immediately engage in disaster relief work. One careless move might even lead to riots!

But when the person who predicted the earthquake went to the disaster area in person, the power of faith he could bring to the victims was endless!

Only Ying Chengjiao can resist thousands of troops at this moment!

Under the persuasion of Lü Buwei and Ying Le, Ying Zheng slowly put down his hands and said in a complicated voice: "Order!"

"Promote Prince Chengjiao of Chang'an to be the commander and lead the soldiers of Neishi County to suppress the turmoil!"

"Your son, Lieutenant General Meng Yi, will lead two thousand guards and one hundred assistants to guard Chang'an!"

"Modify the Lantian camp to Xianyang City to guard the capital!"

Lü Buwei said in a deep voice: "I ask all the messengers to send messages to the counties and prefectures: The court is discussing the relief of this earth dragon turn, but Chang'an has moved without orders and personally led his soldiers to Zheng County!"

Ying Chengjiao, who followed orders, was enough to make the scoundrels dare not act rashly.

But Ying Chengjiao, who acted against orders, was the real Qin killer who made the people of the world panic!

Lu Buwei believed that just this piece of news was enough to bring out all the potential of the counties of the Qin Dynasty!

Ying Zheng nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

Finally, he took a deep look at Ying Chengjiao's back and shouted in a deep voice: "Return to the palace!"

——

"The front part will set up wooden boards to fill the gullies on the ground, and the rear part will turn to the front when it passes the front part, and set up wooden boards for the comrades in the rear!"

"Military school students, listen to the order, take turns with the corvée to push the Chang'an car, and do everything possible to rush to Zheng!"

"Quick... abandon the car and hide!!!"

On the road, Ying Chengjiao personally pushed a cart towards Zheng County, and kept shouting orders.

However, as another round of shock waves came, Ying Chengjiao hurriedly put down the cart and ran to the middle of the wider road.

"Bang~Bang~Bang~Bang~Boom~"

Just when Ying Chengjiao's troops had just hidden in the middle of the road, a roar suddenly sounded.

Ying Chengjiao looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tilted crack appearing on the halfway of a high mountain in front of him on the left, which was spreading with the shock wave.

Finally, the top of the mountain fell down the hillside with a bang!

"Boom boom boom!!!"

The huge mountain suddenly collided with the ground.

Stones as tall as people shot in all directions.

The deafening roar hit Ying Chengjiao's eardrums, as if there was only one sound left in the world!

Everyone in the team stared at the mountain in a daze, their eyes full of fear, and they dared not move forward even a step!
