Chapter Twenty-Three: The Great Water of Tokyo City

Although the Zhang family has a large shipyard, it produces large cargo ships and sea vessels. However, with the power of the Zhang family, it is not difficult to borrow an inland river boat.

Originally, this matter was still a little difficult in the hands of Zhang Haohan, a figure who was not the core of the family.

But when Zhang Haohan's brother, Zhang Chengjia, who had seen Wen Fei's power in the matter of the Zhang family's ancestral tomb and wanted to make friends with Wen Fei, just made a phone call. Just before dawn, Wen Fei drove such a two-hundred-ton ship and reappeared in the time and space of the Northern Song Dynasty.

It has to be said that the most significant change brought about by people's status is the amount of resources that can be used. If Wen Fei wanted to get such a ship in the past, unless he bought it himself, and it was definitely not possible to get it in three or five days! It was simply impossible for it to be as easy as it is now.

By this time, it was already bright, and the rain was still pouring in the sky. Wen Fei drove the boat and sailed to Da Ling Mountain. This ship is much larger than a yacht, if it weren't for the fact that the automation process is very high now, and the 10,000-ton giant ship only needs a few people to drive, Wen Fei really can't do anything with this boat......

In fact, Wen Fei didn't go far at all when he drove the yacht last night, at most it was only a few miles. At this time, I saw several ships, docked at the foot of Daling Mountain.

Just by looking at the appearance of these big wooden ships, you can know that these are warships. Wen Fei is not too unfamiliar with these, he has taken these warships from the Yellow River several times. A look of disrepair......

It seems that it must have been discovered by the people of Junzhou, or Tongli Army. The local officials, including the prime minister Cai Jingjing, were besieged by the great water on the Great Ling Mountain. So I rushed to repair so many warships and came out to pick up people.

To be honest, Wen Fei was quite blind to the naval army of the Northern Song Dynasty. The weak water army is simply a mess. Even when the Great Heavenly Master of Tawen went to Jiezhou to patrol, the warships accompanying him were all antiques......

The warships in front of him are obviously in disrepair. The Great Song Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, except for a few battles with the Liao State in the early days, almost no more troops have been used in the country. It's just fighting back and forth in the Northwest Frontier and Western Xia.

This was still a land battle, and as for the water station, it didn't take a few battles before the Later Tang Dynasty and other countries in Jiangnan surrendered on their own. And then. The sailor has hardly been used since.

Even when the country was founded, Jin Mingchi, who was dug out to train the water army. Now it has become a place for royalty and the common people......

It is conceivable that the naval army of the Great Song Dynasty will rot into what it will become? At least these warships in front of them. Obviously, they all have the appearance of temporary repairs.

When Wen Fei drove this flat-bottomed boat to the side of Da Ling Mountain, people recognized Wen Fei. cheered one by one, unexpectedly, Father Shang went out again, and actually changed into an even bigger steel ship.

Piloting such a boat is much more troublesome than a yacht. Wen Fei didn't dare to approach the shore. at his level. I only dare to guarantee that the ship will sail in a straight line......

Now that I saw a few warships, I was overjoyed, and just let them use them as ferries to pick up Cai Jing and a group of officials on the boat. This passenger ship is much more spacious than a yacht.

I can't listen to the feelings of the officials about this magical ship of steel, which can be driven by itself without rowing by sailors.

Cai Jing grabbed Wen Fei and shouted, "Father Shang's big thing is not good! Tokyo City was flooded ......"

Wen Fei was taken aback, it turned out that it was no one else who mobilized the warship to pick up people this time. It was still the commander of the forbidden army that Wen Fei sent out to be the commander of the forbidden army on the night when the Tongli army transferred troops.

At that time, Wen Fei didn't expect Zhang Huaisu and these guys to catch it so well, but he just thought that he would have to mobilize the army. Dragnet search. It is possible to find Zhang Huaisu and Wang Zaixi.

But now these people played a big role, not only transferring naval warships from the Tongli Army, but also bringing news of the city of Tokyo.

"Tokyo City has also been flooded!" Cai Jing sighed: "We have to go back to Tokyo City quickly!"

When Wen Fei heard this, he said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's just leave!" Unceremoniously drove all the local officials off the boat, leaving only one Lai Buyi behind. After that, the boat went down the river and headed for Tokyo City.

This kind of inland river running flat-bottomed boats have a shallow draft, even about one meter at most. Even in normal times, driving in the Yellow River is unimpeded.

What's more, in the midst of this great flood, but the deck was too low, and the raging waves kept coming up and down. When there is a slightly larger wave, it is as if the whole ship is going to sink. It's quite heart-wrenching......

But in fact, Wenfei is a ferry across the river, and according to the standard, it can resist the first-class wind and waves. So Mo looks thrilling, but it's actually not too much of a hindrance.

The boat traveled for most of the day, and what I saw along the way was that the embankment of the Yellow River built by the Northern Song Dynasty court with great effort really withstood the test. The ferocious waves could not shake the embankment.

Kidding, the country's capital was built on the banks of the Bianhe River, a branch of the Yellow River. The Yellow River is the most important canal and waterway, which can be said to be the most important aorta in the entire Great Song Dynasty.

If the embankment hadn't been strong, the city would have been flooded many times. And once the Yellow River floods, then the material in all directions cannot be transported, which is equivalent to a ruptured aorta of a person......

Then again, it's like the Celestial Empire in the afterlife. If the embankment of the Yangtze River wants to withstand the test of a thousand years of floods, the easiest way is to move the capital. Put the capital on the edge of the Yangtze River. Make sure that the embankment is impregnable...... I'm afraid that those adults don't think it's safe to meet once in a million years......

In fact, this rise is not too big. During the flood season, there was a bigger flood than this, and Cai Jingjing didn't know how many he had seen.

So how did the city of Tokyo suffer from the flooding this time? This has to mention a little name - Sanssouci Cave......

Kaifeng Prefecture, the city of Tokyo at this time, was not close to the Yellow River. The reason why Kaifeng in later generations was close to the Yellow River was because of a real flood a few decades later, the Yellow River was diverted, and Kaifeng has since reached the edge of the Yellow River.

Of course, there is nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty. At that time, it was already the twentieth year of Jin Dading, and the shame of Jingkang had passed for decades. The Southern Song Dynasty is on the edge of the West Lake, enjoying the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River......

Again, it was the Yellow River that was diverted. Since then, the Yellow River no longer flows through the Great Ling Mountain...... And now that the dragon vein has been uprooted by Wen Fei this time, I am afraid that the Yellow River will not wait for so many decades, and I am afraid that it will be rerouted.

The water of the river pours into the Bianhe River and pours directly into the city of Tokyo from Sanssouci Cave......

The city is covered with a network of rivers, such as the Bianhe River, the Cai River, the Kinsui River, and the Gojo River. are connected to the Yellow River. The river extends in all directions, leading to all parts of the Great Song Dynasty.

In order to prevent the Yellow River from rising when the water rises, the river floods the city. Originally, the city of Tokyo had a complex set of regulating facilities, various sluices and canals, and there were officials and water inspectors to ensure this.

But at this time, it was still late spring, and the weather had been dry for so long, and it was not the flood season at all.

As a result, this time there was no slightest defense, and the sudden flood flooded in all of a sudden. Floods poured into the city from various rivers and even through the Sanssouci Caves, which were used to drain water.

Especially those rich families, high-ranking officials and nobles are even more unlucky. You must know that classical gardens often build artificial lakes, and in order to ensure water quality, these artificial lakes will not become stagnant pools, and they all use living water. ...... connected to a river

Poor Zhao Ji's palace is no exception, and it has also entered the water...... It doesn't seem like this is the first time......

(I remember reading the think tank before, or what kind of book, it was recorded that the city of Tokyo was flooded, it seems to be the time of the real sect.) At that time, the emperor ordered the construction of dragon boats, and the whole family could be moved up when the water was heavy.

At that time, the prime minister was firmly opposed, saying...... There has never been a flood flooding the palace. Even a faint monarch like Ji Xuan has never encountered it, so this kind of thing will definitely not happen in the Great Song Dynasty...... I can't remember the specifics, it's been too long, and I haven't found any information for a long time. )

Fortunately, the city reacted quickly and opened various sluices to block several waterways of the Bianhe River. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the city of Tokyo would have fallen under the water by now......

Along the Bianhe River, Wen Fei kept driving the boat into the vicinity of Tokyo City. I saw the original Vermilion Bird Gate to Chongming Gate, and even Nanxun Gate and Xuanhua Gate. The entire southeast of Tokyo City was flooded.

Countless servants and people were on the city wall, strengthening the city wall and blocking the floods. And now the flood has silted up, almost half of the city walls have been submerged. If the waves are higher, you may be able to hit the city wall.

When Wen Fei was such a magical ferry, it aroused countless amazed eyes. It was just together, but at this time, the heavy rain actually stopped.

So, Shang's father took a magical ship and returned to Tokyo City. The mythical story of defeating the ravaging dragon king has been passed down for thousands of years after being processed through successive dynasties......

Of course, that's another story. At this time, Wen Fei soon saw a dragon boat and many boats floating on the water.

These were wealthy nobles, and those with rich families all floated up the river in boats to escape the flood.

Ordinary people, on the other hand, do not have this treatment, and the affected places can only be soaked in water more than one meter deep.

When Zhao Ji really appeared in front of Wen Fei in a dragon boat. This heartless emperor has already snorted and tears: "What kind of sin have I done? I have never been punished like this by God, and my palace has been flooded, and it is a strange story ......for the ages."

The later generation of Song Huizong, the current official Zhao Ji, is indeed too aggrieved and panicked. Zhao Ji's prince actually made his own rebellion. (To be continued......)
