Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 262: The officials in the court are like termites, and soldiers block the Yangtze River flood

But in Liu Hong's mind, confiscating the homes of these officials and leaving no immediate family members alive was already a very merciful act.

What kind of beast would deliberately build such a river embankment?

Then every year he cried poor to the court and shamelessly demanded money on behalf of the disaster-stricken people.

How can this group of people be worthy of the tens of millions of disaster victims who have been left homeless for hundreds of years if they don't confiscate their homes and exterminate their entire clans?

This group of people are diligent and can endure extremely perverted and harsh punishments.

Not only were they treated like two-legged sheep and harvested at will, but a large number of officials even profited from their corpses.

Then he spoke hypocritically, saying that the people are so miserable!

The prefect of Hengzhou and many officials quickly knelt down and begged for mercy. They originally thought that at most they would lose their official hats this time, and at worst they could go home and live peacefully as rich men.

I didn't expect Liu Hong to be so bloody and violent. When he saw the dike, he confiscated their property and exterminated their entire family without even asking any questions.

The official from the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but muster up the courage to speak, his tone threatening.

"Sir, if we die, who will take care of the Yangtze River embankment?"

That's right, relying on their many years of governance experience, they bet that Liu Hong would not dare to take action against them.

Otherwise, after the Yangtze River completely bursts its banks, millions of people along the Yangtze River will probably be displaced.

By then, just pacifying this group of people would make Liu Hong helpless, and he would no longer be able to face the open and secret attacks in the court.

The unscrupulous officials are in cahoots with the Hengzhou officials.

Officials with a conscience, but also concerned about the people, had to go easy on this group of people.

This is the magic weapon that has been proven to be effective over the decades.

They were sure that Liu Hong would not waste most of his time on this matter.

After all, in Jiangnan Road, Fan Xian is fighting for power with Liu Hong, and in the court and the Supervisory Council, the Fan family is constantly undermining Liu Hong's influence.

How could Liu Hong, the Grand Commander of Andong, be so unwise?
What everyone didn't expect was that Liu Hong glanced at these people coldly.

There was a loud thunder in the sky, like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The Yangtze River embankment has burst...

A large amount of flood water rushed out all at once, continuously covering the surrounding fields.

In this world, it seems like black ink is constantly eroding the white paper in the painting.

"So tell me now, the Yangtze River has burst its banks. What are you officials who have been building dams for decades going to do?"

Amid the storm, Liu Hong questioned the group of officials in a stern voice.

The civil and military officials in Hengzhou stammered and were unable to speak.

So far, there is only one way, which is to fill the gap with human lives. One person, with a bag of sandbags, rushes into the place where the Yangtze River burst its dike and raises the bloody and flesh-filled embankment.

Otherwise, if the flood continues to spread, Hengzhou City will be submerged, and millions of people around the Yangtze River will be displaced.

However, no one dared to speak out about this resolution.

If we use human lives to fill the gap, whose lives will we take?

The officials of the Ministry of Works plucked up their courage and showed a compassionate attitude.

"Sir, this is a natural disaster, it is beyond human control! The most urgent thing is to evacuate the people."

Liu Hong certainly knew how to evacuate the people, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Lin Ruofu for help.

Gazing at this group of officials standing high on the wall, acting pretentiously and making one feel nauseous.

As the depressed mood in his heart condensed, Liu Hong could no longer suppress the true energy in his body.

A mouthful of blood spurted out.

There were loud thunder and heavy rain in the sky, as if they were mourning for Liu Hong at this moment.

"Qing Kingdom should be destroyed! You are a bunch of parasites, gnawing at the people's hearts and national strength of Qing Kingdom for a hundred years!"

Liu Hong drew his sword and swung it down.

Like a cricket, the chattering official from the Ministry of Works died tragically on the spot.

Civil officials are greedy for money and soldiers are afraid of death. This dynasty should have perished long ago.

It was just the inner treasury brought by Ye Qingmei that prolonged the life of Qing Kingdom and created a false prosperity.

Er Gouzi and the others had a cold light flashing in their eyes, and they brandished their swords and slaughtered all the officials of rank in Hengzhou City.

Perhaps this will result in a false conviction, but Liu Hong has no time to care about it.

"Whose lives are yours?"

Liu Hong stood on the Hengzhou city wall, looking up at the sky and roaring.

Er Gouzi, Ji Xin led a hundred thousand troops to kneel outside Hengzhou City, his voice was loud and clear. "Grand Commander!"

Liu Hong threw the sword in his hand casually on the ground and picked up a few sofas.

"Follow me! Use your life to fill the Yangtze River flood."

Between heaven and earth, a tall figure picked up a sandbag and rushed into the torrent without hesitation.

Behind him were hundreds of thousands of people outside Hengzhou City and millions of civilians on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Even if there is no way to stop the Yangtze River from continuing to burst its banks, we must evacuate the people for Lin Ruofu and buy time for evacuation.

Er Gouzi, Ji Xin and others' eyes instantly became red, and Bai Lang even picked up the sandbag and ran after Liu Hong.

The Grand Commander of Andong has decided to use his life to fill the Yangtze River embankment. Do these subordinates still dare to be afraid of death?
The people's soldiers that Ji Xin once advocated finally came into play at this moment.

Behind them are their relatives, friends and hometown, they have nowhere to retreat.

Countless sandbags were thrown on the collapsed river embankment. With the help of human power, the flood could no longer pour down recklessly.

But everyone knows that this is only temporary.

The heavy rain is still falling from the sky and this flood will not stop.

It even erupted with more violent power because of the previously accumulated flood.

It took nearly ten days to block the breach.

The people of Hengzhou City knew what Liu Hong was doing, and they spontaneously made sandbags and cooked hot porridge.

Under the organization of Civil Affairs Commissioner Chen Hong, the logistics work was organized in an orderly manner.

Liu Hong's armor had long been dirty, and he no longer looked like the once high-spirited Grand Commander of Anton.

It can only be barely recognized by the face.

Liu Hong casually washed his face with the flood water. His complexion was extremely pale as he looked at the still gloomy sky and heavy rain.

These days, the flood waters have almost reached alarming heights.

If the dam breaks again, I'm afraid the nearby Hengzhou City will be washed away.

Chen Hong had a worried look on his face. Looking at the desolate figure standing under the levee, he could not help but kneel down and speak, tears streaming down his face.

"Grand Admiral, stop it! You've done good enough."

Liu Hong stood there, motionless.

He was very tired. In the past ten days, he had not slept for even twenty hours.

But if we give up rebuilding the river bank, all the previous efforts will be destroyed.

"What did the officials in the court say?"

After a long time, Liu Hong spoke very tiredly.

Regarding Emperor Qing, who only knows how to fight for power and profit and gang up on those who are dissidents.

Liu Hong knew what they were doing with his butt.

Isn't it just to spread the news to the world that Liu Hong was arrogant and domineering, and during his tenure as the Grand Commander of Andong, he massacred noble families and made everyone jealous and hate him.

The bursting of the Yangtze River was caused by Liu Hong’s immoral behavior.

Chen Hong was silent and didn't say anything else.

Liu Hong also stared at the river bank quietly. The soldiers below were still carrying sandbags to block the flood.

"I don't want to hear anything else. I just want to hear what the people of Anton Sanlu think of me?"

Chen Hong raised his head and spoke in a decisive tone.

"The Grand Commander is like our second parent!"

A smile slowly formed on Liu Hong's lips. He felt happy that someone could understand what he did.

His body started moving again, somewhat shakily, and he picked up the sandbag and walked towards the riverbank.

How lonely it would be if no one could understand what you did.

If everything you do is just to please the fat-headed and big-eared parasites in the world, then life is worse than death!
Chen Hong stared blankly as Liu Hong dragged his exhausted body and continued to carry the sandbag.

He stood up suddenly and roared at the sky.

"God, do you really want all the capable officials in the world to die?"

Perhaps Chen Hong’s roar had an effect, or perhaps after ten days and ten nights of rain, God was finally tired.

The rain gradually subsided.
