Section 827 Yangtze River Crisis

Li Yuanxing didn't go to the harem, he directly asked for a horse, and Pegasus rushed to Qinwangzhuang.

Li Er was stunned when he heard the news.

"Erlang went to Qinwangzhuang quickly, and Wulang acted steadily. If there were no terrible big things, it would never be like this. "Empress Changsun was the first to calm down, although she didn't understand what was going on, but what could make King Qin of the Tang Dynasty lose his stability would definitely not be a trivial matter, the last time Wulang panicked, it was the great water in Luoyang.

In the later locust plague, Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin, did not take it seriously.

It's been several years, how can Li Yuanxing's performance be reassuring.

Li Er didn't ask for a frame, and also rode to Qinwangzhuang.

Li Yuanxing was not in the study, nor in the backyard, but sat in front of a few tables that had been improvised outside the door of the telegraph room. Lanyue Princess Li Lanshan's face was pale, and she was whispering something to Li Yuanxing.

Li Lanshan said to Li Yuanxing: "Don't think that the Yangtze River has not been flooded. From the Han Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were 214 recorded catastrophic floods in the Yangtze River, but there was no measurement technique in ancient times, and I don't know how big the flood was. I remember that the first calculation was in the Song Dynasty, that is, in the summer of about 1153 AD, with a flow of more than 90,000 cubic meters per second. ”

"Isn't that more powerful than ninety-eight!"

Li Lanshan shook her head gently: "In ancient times, there were no indiscriminate cutting of trees, soil and water conservation was better, and the population was not as large as in modern times, so it would be less affected." In particular, the flood discharge capacity of several large lakes should not be underestimated, and in our time, soil erosion was serious, and several large lakes surrounded the lakes to create fields and build houses. The lake has been reduced a lot, so the harm is greater. ”

"Then in your memory, do you have it in the Tang Dynasty?"

"At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there was, but the harm didn't seem to be very big, only a loss of one or two thousand households."

"Fifty thousand to one hundred thousand dead, isn't it many?" Li Yuanxing whispered in Li Lanshan's ear.

Li Lanshan has a different view: "In ancient times, the disaster relief ability was poor, and when it came to a disaster, it was a dead person. In the Song and Ming dynasties, hundreds of thousands of people died in the disaster, and with 50,000 deaths, this flood should not surpass the super flood in the Song Dynasty! ”

Li Yuanxing and Li Lanshan have been whispering, and their voices are extremely small. Because what they say must not be heard by anyone else.

But he didn't expect Li Er to come.

Li Er came over. The first thing I saw was Li Lanshan's pale face and bloodless lips. Dangzhi complained: "Gorou, do you know that Lanyue is still in confinement?" ”

Suddenly, Li Er appeared, but Li Yuanxing was stunned for a moment.

Li Lanshan's face was pale because of the tension of the flood. He wasn't hurt either.

Li Yuanxing was stunned. Someone sent a new telegram. Li Lanshan didn't have time to speak, so she hurriedly took the telegram and calculated. According to the way of recording in the Song Dynasty, Li Lanshan only measured the data.

Li Er saw that neither of them spoke. There was no further questioning, and it was clear that something big had happened. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he still has this kung fu to nourish qi.

"One hundred thousand!" Li Lanshan exclaimed.

"What?" Li Yuanxing was stunned, and immediately asked a little impatiently: "Won't you be wrong?" ”

"No, according to all the data, I predict that the maximum flood peak of the Yangtze River will definitely exceed 100,000, and if it continues in this way, it will not be ...... in less than a day," Li Lanshan said that he could not go down, because in less than a day, the Yangtze River may have a major flood in any place, at any point in the basin.

Because there is no modern observation technique, Li Lanshan can't deduce that she might break down there.

"Report, the eastern shore of Poyang Lake has moved twenty-seven miles, and the islands in the lake are completely invisible."

"Report, the Huating Navy has gone upstream, the current is too fast, and the speed is only eight miles per hour under the cruising power."

The pen in Li Lanshan's hand fell to the ground at once, and the maid next to her hurriedly came over to pick it up and held it with both hands. But Li Lanshan looked at Li Yuanxing with a frightened expression.

"How many?" Li Yuanxing asked.

Li Lanshan closed her eyes and opened them again after a while: "The cruise of a 500-ton sea ship is ten to eleven knots, that is, thirty-six miles of current affairs, the difference is eight, divided by two. That's twenty-eight, which is about 3.9 meters per second. I can't describe the flow rate. ”

Li Yuanxing knew what Li Lanshan meant, and the flow rate of the 98 Great Flood was only 3.73.

The water and soil conservation of the Yangtze River basin in the Tang Dynasty is hundreds of times that of later generations, and the flood discharge capacity of several major lakes is at least five to eight times that of later generations.

"Gorou, there will be a flood on the Yangtze River?"

"Brother Huang, there will be no such thing, there will definitely be. It's just a matter of how big it will be. Lan Shan made some calculations, that is, in the time of breathing, there was water about 300,000 stones of grain flowing through the Yangtze River, and the speed of the water flow had reached the speed of a 500-ton sea ship. ”

Li Er didn't answer Li Yuanxing first, but said to Li Lanshan: "Lanyue has worked hard, ...... for my brother" Li Er didn't say anything about his brother, turned his head and said to the father-in-law Gao beside him: "Send someone to the palace quickly, send that thousand-year-old ginseng, and then send the imperial doctor over to prepare some tonics!" ”

There are some in the palace, and basically all in the Qin Palace.

Although it can be said to be better, 800-year-old ginseng is not much worse than 1,000-year-old.

It's just that this is the intention of the Tang Emperor, Li Lanshan wanted to get up and thank him according to the courtesy, but Li Er signaled Li Lanshan not to get up. Sitting on the chair next to Li Yuanxing, Li Ercai asked, "According to Lanyue, this flood is very big. ”

"It's very big, with a snap of your hand, there is a ...... equivalent to the volume of more than 300,000 stone grains" Speaking of this, Li Lanshan patted her head lightly: "I miscalculated." ”

Hearing Li Lanshan say that he had miscalculated, Li Ergang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he heard Li Lanshan say again: "It should be the volume of more than three million stone of grain, and so much water will flow through the river with a snap, if it does not flow into the sea, and it flows into a certain state and county, in the blink of an eye, a county town will be gone." ”

The image that appeared in Li Er's mind was the flood and the helpless people. This is his Tang Dynasty, this is his country. He couldn't afford to ignore it.

"Gorou might be able to stop this natural disaster?" Li Er asked very seriously.

Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "I can't stop it." But I know who can stop it! ”

"Who?" Li Erxin said that who else has such strength and strength to stop this unimaginable natural disaster.

"Datang!" Li Yuanxing's words, Li Er didn't understand.

But Li Er believed Li Yuanxing, and only said: "Wulang, show it to your brother!" ”

"Brother Huang, my brother wants an authorization from you to allow the Qin Palace's Mansion to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized in the Tang Dynasty. Let the world see how strong Datang is! ”

"It's okay for my brother!"

"Lan Shan, write a message to grandpa. Tell him. The front-line command was handed over to Grandpa. ”

At this time, the cabinet master has arrived in Suzhou. The water level of Taihu Lake cannot be accurately measured with the current techniques of Datang. But the scope of Taihu Lake is twice as large, and the cabinet master is holding the piece that King Qin ordered and Li Yuanxing gave to Wu Cao.

"There are still 300,000 people in Suzhou City." The cabinet master said silently.

"Drain the water. Wuhu County was flooded, and then most of the water from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was transferred to Hangzhou. Then sail from Hangzhou. Wu Cao was next to him with an idea.

Is it as simple as releasing water?

The cabinet master closed his eyes and thought about the rivers and maps of various states and counties in his memory. "Girl. Three hundred miles. A whole 300 miles will be swallowed up by a flood, who has such power! ”

"Grandpa, the token in your hand can be at least half of the strength of the Tang Dynasty. That's the Heavenly Ce Qin Wang Order! ”

Wu Cao was very sure of the power of the token.

The cabinet master did not answer. just turned his head and asked Xi Junmai: "Has the radio station been repaired?" ”

"If you go back to Emperor Xian, it is estimated that it will take another half an hour, and the radio station in Suzhou City will only be blown off by the electric pole blown by the strong wind, and the radio station will not be damaged." Xi Junmai replied very seriously.

"Tell them, I want to take a look at the arrogance of the Tang soldiers. Even if someone piles it for me, I have to put up the pole immediately. No excuses, no reasons. If there is a delay here for half an hour, I am afraid that dozens of people will be swallowed by the flood. After the cabinet master finished speaking, Xi Junmai rushed away.

Another guard approached: "Please Emperor Xian steadily, Taihu Lake has moved another twenty steps to this side." ”

The guard's words are saying that Taihu Lake is big again.

There is no way for the cabinet master to calculate how many cubic meters of water will be added to the diameter of Taihu Lake, but it has expanded outward by twenty steps so quickly, and this speed has already made people feel nervous.

The rain was still falling, and with such heavy rain and lightning, there was no way for the flying boat to rise into the air.

Hydrogen flying boat, let the thunder and lightning split, I'm afraid the entire flying boat will turn into a fireball. The cabinet master really wants to know how big the water of the Yangtze River is now, and how big is the rain upstream?

The officials of Datang had never seen such a large water potential, and they did not expect danger.

The old general who could personally participate in the flood fight, he clearly knew that this water was terrible.

At this moment when the cabinet master was thinking at the station, the water of Taihu Lake was less than five steps away from the cabinet master, and several guards were all around.

"Afraid of what?" The cabinet master shouted: "This little bit of water, there is no way to help me, an old man." ”

Wu Cao was also anxious: "I don't know the bad guy Li Yuanxing knows the news of the road, why is this radio station broken." After Wu Cao complained, he turned his head and scolded: "Who is responsible for protecting the radio station, and the electric pole that was blown off by the strong wind doesn't know how to repair it immediately?" ”

The cabinet master stopped Wu Cao, and he clearly knew that ordinary Tang soldiers would not think of the impact of this heavy rain.

"Emperor Xian, there is a telegram." Xi Junmai rushed back, at least how to put up the pole again, the cabinet master didn't ask, just ordered: "Read!" ”

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin ordered that the train from Chang'an to Xuzhou be requisitioned for military use, and a total of 150,000 people from 12 guards were transferred, 100,000 people were requisitioned from Qinling Road Workers, and a total of 300,000 people from all railway road workers were requisitioned. They went to Jingzhou, Ezhou, Jiangzhou and Suzhou. Ordered Chang'an, Shannan, Jiangnan, South China, and Lingnan Dao to collect straw bags. Ordered the South Seas to collect grain without an upper limit. Ordered all the people in Poyang Lake District to evacuate, and Jingzhou City was closed. (To be continued......)

PS: Recently, I have been feeling weak all over my body, thinking that I was tired.

When I checked it today, it turned out to be low blood pressure.

It seems that it is necessary to exercise more.
