Chapter 139 Breaking the Water to Irrigate the Beams

The baby girl struggled to leave the nurse's arms after drinking the milk, Yin Erhu took the child over, gave the nurse a string of money, and held the child in his arms and patted the milk, and after the child had a big milk burp, sniffed the child's crotch. I didn't smell the stench, so I put her back into my wool slush.

The chatter of the diners continued to come into the ears, Yin Erhu listened for a while, and felt that the people of Bianzhou actually had no conscience, he had read the evaluation documents about Zhang Daxiang collected by his own people before coming to Bianzhou, in general, Zhang Daxiang was still a more faceless person, during his tenure in Bianzhou, although his political performance was mediocre, he did not do anything angry and resentful.

This place in Bianzhou is different from the rest of the place, mainly because it is surrounded by the famous Yellow River, which suddenly changes from a surging to a quiet deep stream after entering the boundary of Bianzhou.

It's not a good thing that the Yellow River is quiet.

This means that the sediment carried by the river will slowly fall to the bottom of the river, and over time the riverbed will increase and the river will overflow, so people will have to continue to build embankments in the distance, the riverbed will become shallower and wider, the water will flow more slowly, and the sediment will be deposited more and more, and finally, it will become an endless cycle.

Zhang Daxiang has not done much other things in these years, but he is very concerned about this river, before he took office, the river in Bianzhou always changed the river to change back and forth, every one or two decades in Bianzhou, there will be a big flood, after Zhang Daxiang took the people to raise the embankment stupidly, the river that should have been replaced a long time ago, continued to be calm for six years.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, this is the phenomenon that is said.

After Yin Erhu was full, he took his daughter, who was also full of milk, and rode up the embankment.

The Yellow River does not freeze in winter, the river water in the river is also clear, every winter, is the quietest day of the year in the Yellow River, however, from the beginning of the 49th, the river here will freeze, tomorrow is the first day of the 49th.

The ice by the river is already very thick, and these ice are slowly expanding to the surface of the river, Yin Erhu came to the river, grabbed a handful of water, there were already some fine ice thorns in the water, dig a spoonful of water with a spoon, stir it slightly, and the water in the spoon will immediately freeze.

It seems that only one more cold wave is needed, and the freezing of this river is just around the corner.

Xue Changfeng is here to save Zhang Daxiang, Yin Erhu is not, he is in accordance with Yun Chu's instructions, specifically to see this river, judging from the news from Youzhou, some people are very concerned about this river on the edge of Bianzhou.

Now, the river was about to freeze, and Yin Erhu felt that he should pass the news on to the prince.

Yun Chu also placed a Yellow River in his Chinese army tent, but this Yellow River is much smaller than the real Yellow River, although it looks the same as the Yellow River, but one is a natural scene, and the other is more like a toy that the marshal placed for himself under boredom.

Gentle, Di Renjie and the two have been watching Yun Chu let people pour water on the model one by one.

This is a new model, placed outside the big tent, than the one inside the military tent looks more lifelike, even the riverside Mianchi, Mengjin, Mengzhou, Gongyi, Wuzhi, Zhengzhou, Zhongmu, Bianzhou, Jiyang, Changyuan, Puyang and other cities are also clearly marked.

The water is poured from places where the river is narrow and the water flows fast, so when it flows all the way to Bianzhou and Jiyang, you can hardly see the river flowing.

Although it was cold and windy outside the military tent at this time, the sergeants were still pouring water into the river here in Mianchi, and gradually a layer of thin ice appeared on the river on the Jiyang side, and then a thin ice appeared on the river surface of Bianzhou, and by the evening, the thin ice had already stretched to the mouth of Mengjindu.

Seeing that the river was no longer flowing so smoothly, Yun Chu decisively smashed open Mengjin, the ice surface in the Mengzhou area, and the broken ice flowed slowly along the river, hitting some frozen river surfaces, so the river became a glacial river full of broken ice.

When the broken ice continued to go down, when it arrived in Bianzhou, because the river surface here was the first to freeze, and the ice layer was relatively thick, the broken ice went under the ice layer and continued to move forward, and when the broken ice was thicker in Jiyang, the ice surface was thicker, there was an obvious blockage, and finally the broken ice broke through the ice surface and formed an ice dam on the river.

The soldiers who were responsible for pouring water into this big river still poured water into this big river unhurriedly, and in the severe cold weather, there was more ice in this river, and the ice dam formed in that part of Jiyang became more majestic.

The worst thing is that the water level of the Yellow River above Jiyang is rising sharply.

When it was dark, the Yellow River water finally overflowed the river embankment with cold ice, and after seeing the river and ice rushing towards Bianzhou City and Jiyang City, Yun Chu threw down the hand warmer in his hand that had no temperature, and said to Di Renjie, who had also stood with him all day in the cold days: "I'll just say, how could those people watch His Majesty act wantonly and not make any form of counterattack." ”

Gentle frowning: "Yin Erhu sent news that the river surface in Bianzhou has shown signs of freezing, and he also said that the water there is extremely cold, and it can freeze if you stir it." ”

Yun Chu smiled: "This is not strange, this belongs to another metamorphosis of the ice water mixture, wait until you see Wen Huan, let him explain it to you, don't bother me now." ”

Di Renjie said: "Has Guangji learned these secret studies?" ”

Yun Chu nodded and said, "I didn't learn it at first, but after I smoked it, I also opened up." ”

Di Renjie clapped his hands violently and said, "Pump, you must smoke, pump hard." ”

The three of them returned to the warm military tent, boiled pots of tea, and after each drank three rounds of tea to warm their bodies, Yun Chu put down the teacup and said, "Now, let's talk about how we can maximize our interests in this incident without harming the people on both sides of the strait." ”

Wen Rou thought for a while and said: "What was the situation like in previous years, if it was like this every year, I don't believe that the Bianzhou government would have no strategy to deal with it." ”

Yun Chu said: "In previous years, no one smashed the ice surface upstream, and the Yellow River is a dry season in winter, and the water surface has not changed much, and the river water still flows under the ice, so there will be no such thing in the cold winter."

To come out, it will only be produced after the ice melts in spring, and the people of Bianzhou generally call this situation "peach blossom flood"

Gentlely: "How to break the ice, this is not an easy thing. ”

Yun Chu smiled bitterly and said: "It was naturally not easy before, but since the advent of gunpowder, it is not too convenient to use gunpowder to blow up the ice surface." ”

Di Renjie said: "Once the ice water enters Bianzhou City, the city will be immediately sealed with ice, and the emperor may not be in trouble at that time, and the people will really be finished." ”

Gentle asked again: "Defend the upstream river......

Halfway through his words, he changed his words again: "Do you have to blow up the ice in Mengjindu?" ”

Yun Chu said: "From Gongyi to Mianchi, you can actually do it, the problem is in Jiyang (Lankao), where the big river has narrowed, and it is easy to form an ice dam and block the river's downstream." ”

Di Renjie said: "In other words, there are two hundred and fifty miles of rivers that need to be guarded day and night, right?" Not to mention whether it can be guarded or not, even if there are enough manpower, it should be very easy for people to insert some dead soldiers in so many people. ”

Said gently: "No wonder Wang Ben will attack the city when he can't attack it, he will break the water to irrigate the beams, it seems that the most convenient way to attack the city of Bianzhou is to attack the water." ”

Di Renjie said suddenly; "Which is more serious, man-made or natural?"

Yun Chu looked at Di Renjie and said, "Both of them are man-made disasters, you can't pretend that this flood disaster is a natural disaster." ”

Said gently: "I'll go to Bianzhou to meet Your Majesty, and show him this model by the way, and see if I can rescue Zhang Elephant by the way." “

Di Renjie sneered and said: "Don't Zhang Elephant is not rescued by then, you will be finished first, if you don't get it right, the emperor will think that you want to blow up the ice and harm him."

This kind of thing, only Yun Chu is appropriate, and neither of you and I are so important in the emperor's heart. ”

Said gently: "Yun Chu is the commander of the rear army, and leaving the barracks without permission is a capital offense. ”

Yun Chu said: "Why don't you let Yinggong go?" ”

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "Since he has lost power, don't give him a chance to make a comeback." ”

Said gently: "Yun Chu gave His Majesty a secret recital, and then invited the crown prince Li Hong to Zhengzhou, and Li Si secretly wrote a secret recital to the queen, so it should be thoughtful." ”

Di Renjie said: "If it's really peaceful, no one can be offended, remember to write the words bigger for the emperor's secret recital, don't let those eunuchs help read it, otherwise, in less than a day, everyone will know about it, and they will startle the snake." ”

Yun Chu was as good as a stream, and wrote a thick secret note to the emperor in big characters, and Li Si copied a copy, preparing to wait for the emperor to receive the news, and then she showed the stolen secret music to the queen.

As for Li Hong, Yun Chu only wrote a letter informing him that he had made some new discoveries in his studies, and asked him to come over so that he could teach him new knowledge.

After watching the secret recital, Wen Wen frowned and said: "You didn't mention in the secret recital that someone was planning to do this, only told the emperor that Bianzhou is not a stable place, what if the emperor feels stable, are you too worried?" ”

Yun Chu said: "Isn't there still a queen and a prince, if people are really going to have a "plum blossom news" in Bianzhou in winter, we can't prevent it, since this is the case, we can only urge the emperor to leave Bianzhou quickly, don't let him bring disaster to the people of Bianzhou."

When he left, I think those people in Hebei and Shandong will not be so crazy and careless about people's lives. ”
