Chapter V: Early Warning
="('" =>
The tsunami shock wave is different from ordinary waves in that its wavelength is very large, so after the trough landfalls, it takes a considerable period of time before the crest can be reached.
The propagation speed of the tsunami in the ocean is about 500 to 1,000 kilometers per hour, and the distance between the two adjacent waves may also be as far as 500 to 1,000 kilometers, so the speed is one or twenty minutes, and the slow wave is a few hours, and the peak of the later wave will reach the mainland.
The reason why Mu Bingyue thinks that the early trough of the tsunami has been reached is based on the earthquake fish that washed ashore.
Seeing everyone's doubts, Mu Bingyue didn't want to explain much, time was pressing, she could only speak with facts, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the person who transported the ingredients just now to come here and ask."
。 ”
The evil general received Xuanyuanyi's signal and took the order to leave.
Mu Bingyue thought for a while, "Is there a well here?" ”
Xuanyuan Yi groaned slightly, "I'll take you there." ”
The stakes are so great that everyone didn't dare to be sloppy, so they all followed.
Everyone came to a well not far from the imperial dining room, Mu Bingyue approached the gap left by everyone, and moved her eyes down, only to see that the well was empty as far as the eye could see.
Gadha was signaled to step forward, put down the bucket, and put in about 20 meters of well rope, only to hear that it touched the surface of the water, and when it was about to come up, everyone saw that it was turbid and smelly sewage.
There are folk songs:
Well water is a treasure, and there are precursors to earthquakes.
There is no rain and the spring water is muddy, and the water in the dry well is rising.
The water level rises and falls greatly, and the flowers are bubbling.
Some change color, some change taste.
It wasn't until this moment that everyone believed Mu Bingyue's words a little, and the palace people who went to deliver the ingredients at this time were also brought.
Without waiting for him to salute, Mu Bingyue opened his mouth and asked directly, "Is there an abnormal situation on the beach today?" ”
The guard transporting the ingredients was hurriedly picked up by the evil general, and his heart was already panicked, but now he was even more confused by the question, his lips trembled, "Abnormal situation? "Countless thoughts turned in my heart, but my mind was blank.
"When you come and go, is the tide high or low?" Mu Bingyue was anxious in her heart, but she still guided slowly.
At this time, if you can't come up with convincing evidence, I'm afraid that these ancients will not be able to believe her.
"Back to the girl's words, it's really a little strange to talk about this, it's not yet evening, the tide has receded, and there are still a lot of fish and shrimp on the sea, a vast area, the humble duty is specially left on the coast for the palace masters to find rare seafood, at first glance I saw a lot of fish that I have never seen before, so today I personally sent it to the imperial dining room with a small fish tank, I never thought that the old imperial chef lived in his fifties, but there are many I haven't seen it......"
As soon as the palace attendant opened the conversation, he began to talk endlessly, but the others did not have the heart to listen.
Xuanyuan Yi's eyebrows were gloomy, "Prime Minister Xuan Cheng and the six departments are still here." ”
The charm will be gone.
"Go, send a message to warn everywhere." Xuanyuan Yi believed this seven or eight points.
Xuanyuan Yi's words fell, and only the twelve generals and Ye Ling were left, and the others rushed to everywhere.
"I wonder when this tsunami will arrive, and how powerful is it?" This time it was Ye Ling who asked, and this was also the voice of Xuanyuan Yi and others.
Mu Bingyue also frowned, this depends on the distance of the epicenter, but they have no survey data to rely on, so this item can only depend on the will of God.
Heaven favors for a few hours, and if Heaven is ruthless, it is only a blink of an eye.
Seeing that Mu Bingyue didn't answer, Ye Ling had an answer in his heart, and at this time, everyone's hearts were heavy
。
Mu Bingyue looked at Xuanyuanyi, and there was a trace of inexplicable emotion in her ice pupils, which made Xuanyuanyi look puzzled.
Now that it has reached an extraordinary moment, the situation is not optimistic, for the sake of tens of thousands of lives, she can only take out the last thing she has been hiding and dare not show to anyone.
"Xuanyuan Yi, I want you to promise me that if I solve this crisis, the things I use will never be used in the future for war."
'The torrent is turbulent, and manpower is difficult to use', since ancient times, people have to avoid sudden shipwrecks as the best policy, but listen to Mu Bingyue's words, there is a way to solve the current crisis, everyone was shocked at the moment, it can be seen that Mu Bingyue is solemn, they can't help but press the heart that beats suddenly, and listen patiently to his next words.
Xuanyuan Yi was also shocked, "You said, as long as the immediate crisis is solved, I will answer you." ”
Before Mu Bingyue could speak, the prime minister arrived with a group of officials.
It turned out that a group of officials had learned the news that Xuanyuan Yi had returned to Luan today, so they were waiting outside the palace gate early.
Sima Han was among them.
Hearing that Xuanyuan Yi had an urgent matter to announce, a group of ministers hurried over, and when they saw Mu Bingyue standing beside Xuanyuan Yi, their expressions couldn't help but change.
Some officials even speculated whether Xuanyuan Yi's edict to them in such a hurry had something to do with the woman in front of him. It's not that General Mei didn't tell them the details, but he still feels incredible, rather than being unable to explain it in the clouds and spending a lot of words, it is better to bring it to Mu Bingyue to explain it by himself, so the ministers still don't know what happened.
Looking at the expressions of the people, Xuanyuan Yi knew that the charm general did not tell them, "There may be a tsunami landing." ”
There was still room for his words, but it still set off a storm in the hearts of the officials, and everyone still grasped the 'possibility' in a panic.
If you want to talk about tsunamis, the Xuanyuan country built by the sea has never been uncommon, but the news was only obtained after the occurrence of the tsunami, and this 'possibility' is to define the time before the tsunami, but many people are more suspicious of this 'possibility'.
Since the first emperor ascended the throne, although there have been floods, but there are few shipwrecks, and the four seas have been peaceful for more than 30 years, they really don't know where this speculation comes from.
And Sima Han's gaze was nailed to Mu Bingyue, not because he wanted to put a high hat on her, but because he only felt that these words came from her.
He occasionally won many secret confrontations, but in the end he was inexplicably defeated by her, and her status in his heart has been raised to a height that is difficult for others to reach.
And the other came back to his senses, Prime Minister Sun Mo immediately said: "Why did the emperor say this? It's not that he is suspicious, but this matter is too important, and it is more related to people's livelihood and social welfare, how can he not ask more.
Without waiting for Xuanyuan Yi to answer, Mu Bingyue directly intercepted: "Does the emperor have a sand table?" ”
Time is running out, her plan has not yet taken shape, and she still needs to make a decision based on the terrain, so instead of wasting time on many explanations, it is better to work together to think of a perfect plan.
The prime minister's expression was narrow, but he didn't speak.
"Come with me." Xuanyuan Yi only groaned, and then took Mu Bingyue to the direction of the Imperial Palace, and the ministers looked even more panicked when they saw it, "The emperor must not!" "Although I don't know what happened, there has been no woman who can step into the palace of government in the past dynasties, let alone a foreign woman.
The sand table in Mu Bingyue's mouth is an ancient military map, which is made of mud and stone, which can vividly show the terrain of the combat area and indicate the composition of the enemy's position
。 The emperor and the Chinese military generals of the dynasty are often used to study the terrain, enemy situation and battle plan, and the sand table in the imperial hall is even more comprehensive than that of the combat generals, with their own troop deployment and defense in various places on the periphery, and it is easy not to expose it to others, otherwise there will be a disaster of overthrowing the country, so it is no wonder that these old ministers are shocked.
He didn't know what she meant, but he believed her.
Xuanyuan Yi's footsteps did not stop, and the ministers tried their best to dissuade them in the back, so that they forgot the words of the shipwreck in the past.
Mu Bingyue followed closely, and then ordered Ye Ling on the side, "Bring the person just now, and order someone to bring the fish he transported to the Imperial Palace." ”
Ye Ling's eyes flashed, and his expression was slightly hesitant, but he only took a breath and left.
Looking at the excited ministers, Mu Bingyue knew that it would be quite difficult to convince them before the shipwreck came, but Xuanyuan Yi had already believed it, as long as she wanted to take down Sima Han who came with her, this matter would be almost the same.
On the way, Mu Bingyue was not idle, and asked the ministers who were still painstakingly admonishing behind, "All the adults are the mainstay of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, not to mention the rich and rich five cars, but they are also full of poetry, I don't know if the adults can know what the signs are before and after this tsunami?" ”
Although the eldest grandson Mo's legs and feet are slow, his brain is fast, knowing that he can't dissuade Xuanyuan Yi, so he put his mind on the tsunami, and when he heard this, he immediately said what he thought in his heart, "One is the abnormal retreat or surge of the sea, the second is the shallow sea area not far from the coast, the sea surface suddenly turns white, the third is that the ship located in the shallow sea area suddenly and violently tossed up and down, and the fourth is that there is suddenly an unusually loud noise from the sea, and a large number of fish and shrimp appear in the shallows. ”
It is said that Xuanyuan's prime minister is humble and often puts the people's livelihood in his heart, and it seems that his knowledge is worthy of being the head of the six.
Mu Bingyue secretly praised in his heart, fortunately, he was not pedantic, and disdained and responded to her words because she was a woman, "You collect fresh fish for the emperor, which of these have you seen today?" ”
The palace attendant who procured the ingredients was extremely clever, and when Mu Bingyue's words fell, he immediately knew that he was asking him, so he hurriedly replied: "The humble office has been on the beach since the morning, and there is no abnormality at high tide, but the sea water suddenly and quickly receded in the early morning, and it also revealed the seabed that has never seen the light of day, and the fish, shrimp, crabs and shellfish have left countless on the beach, as for the color of the seawater, although the humble duty did not pay much attention, but now it is whiter than in the past, but the humble duty did not feel that the ship was shaking, nor did he hear any abnormal loud noise. Here he claims to be humble, but there is also a reason why he is not sure of Mu Bingyue's identity, but with Xuanyuan Yi, he is not too much wrong to claim to be so.
Hearing this, Mu Bingyue couldn't help but feel a little worried, she didn't hear any strange noise, and she thought that the peak of the wave was still far away, but she could see the sea water retreating, which proved that this place was also the closest to the epicenter, and the chance of a tsunami elsewhere would be relatively reduced.
"Do you recognize deep-sea fish among the fish left on the shore?"
The palace attendant immediately continued: "But there are many deep-sea fish, and they can recognize three or four things without being talented." ”
"But the fish are broken and most of them die?" Mu Bingyue was asking.
Deep-sea fish never swim to the surface on their own, and can only be swept up to shallow waters by huge undercurrents of abnormal ocean activity such as tsunamis. Once they suddenly arrive in the shallow sea or beach, the deep-sea fish will have obvious features such as ruptured internal blood vessels, stomach turned out, and protruding eyes outside the orbit, and die quickly, and this is not only known to Changsun Mo, but also to Sima Han.
"Exactly." The palace attendant immediately replied, and lost no time in praising himself, "But the lowly positions are all sent by the job." ”
