Li Yuanxing did not go to the harem, but directly asked for a horse, and Pegasus rushed to Qin Wangzhuang.
Li Er was stunned after hearing the news.
"Erlang, go to Qin Wangzhuang quickly. Wulang behaves calmly. If there is no terrible event, this will never happen." Empress Changsun was the first to calm down. Although she didn't understand what happened, she could definitely make King Qin of the Tang Dynasty lose his stability.
It can't be a trivial matter. The last time Wulang panicked, it was the flood in Luoyang.
Later, when the locust plague occurred, Qin King Li Yuanxing did not take it seriously.
Several years have passed. How can Li Yuanxing's performance make people feel at ease?
Li Er did not ask for the frame, and also rode to Qin Wangzhuang.
Li Yuanxing was not in the study or in the backyard, but was sitting at a few temporary tables put together outside the door of the telegraph room. Princess Lanyue Li Lanshan looked pale and was whispering something to Li Yuanxing.
Li Lanshan said to Li Yuanxing: "Don't think that the Yangtze River has never experienced floods. From the Han Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty, there have been 214 recorded catastrophic floods in the Yangtze River. However, there was no measurement technology in ancient times, so we didn't know how big the floods were. I
I remember that the first calculation was from the Song Dynasty, which was about the summer of 1153 AD, with a flow rate of more than 90,000 cubic meters per second."
"Isn't that more powerful than 1998!"
Li Lanshan shook her head gently: "In ancient times, there were no trees cut down, and soil and water conservation was better. Moreover, the population was not as large as modern times, so the impact would be less. In particular, the flood discharge capacity of several large lakes cannot be underestimated. In our era, soil erosion was serious.
, several large lakes have been surrounded by lakes to create farmland and build houses, which has reduced the lake area a lot, so the harm is even greater."
"Then do you remember the Tang Dynasty?"
"It existed in the early Tang Dynasty, but the damage didn't seem to be very great. There were only losses of 10,000 to 20,000 households."
"Fifty to 100,000 people died, isn't that much?" Li Yuanxing whispered in Li Lanshan's ear.
Li Lanshan has a different view: "In ancient times, disaster relief capabilities were poor, and people died when disasters occurred. There were records of hundreds of thousands of people dying from disasters in both the Song and Ming Dynasties. Taking the death toll of 50,000 people, this flood should not surpass that of the Song Dynasty."
Super flood!”
Li Yuanxing and Li Lanshan kept whispering in extremely low voices because what they said could never be heard by others.
But I didn't expect that Li Er would come.
When Li Er came over, the first thing he saw was Li Lanshan's pale face and bloodless lips. He immediately complained: "Wu Lang, do you know that Lan Yue is still in confinement?"
Suddenly Li Er appeared, but Li Yuanxing was stunned for a moment.
Li Lanshan's face turned pale because she was nervous about the flood, and she was not injured.
When Li Yuanxing was stunned, someone sent a new telegram. Li Lanshan had no time to talk, so she quickly took the telegram and calculated. According to the recording method of the Song Dynasty, Li Lanshan only calculated the data.
Li Er saw that neither of them spoke, so he didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that something big had happened. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he still had the ability to cultivate Qi.
"One hundred and ten thousand!" Li Lanshan exclaimed.
"What?" Li Yuanxing was stunned, and immediately asked impatiently: "You can't make a mistake in your calculation?"
"No, according to all the data, I predict that the maximum flood peak of the Yangtze River will definitely exceed 100,000. If we continue to calculate this, within a day..." Li Lanshan couldn't go on. Within a day, the Yangtze River may be anywhere.
A major flood occurs first, at any point in the basin.
Because there was no modern observation technology, Li Lanshan could not deduce that there might be a breakup there.
"Report, the east coast 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 cruising power."
The pen in Li Lanshan's hand fell to the ground. The maid next to her quickly came over to pick it up and held it in both hands. But Li Lanshan looked at Li Yuanxing with a look of horror.
"How many?" Li Yuanxing asked.
Li Lanshan closed her eyes and opened them again after a while: "The cruise of a 500-ton ship is from ten knots to eleven knots, which is thirty-six miles away. Subtract eight and divide it by two. That is twenty-eight.
It’s almost 3.9 meters per second. I can’t describe this flow rate.”
Li Yuanxing knew what Li Lanshan meant. The flow rate of the 1998 flood was only 3.73.
The water and soil conservation in the Yangtze River Basin of the Tang Dynasty was hundreds of times that of later generations, and the flood discharge capacity of several large lakes was at least five to eight times that of later generations. Otherwise, with such a flow and speed, in later generations, there would probably not be many living people in the entire Yangtze River Basin.
.
"Wulang, will there be floods in the Yangtze River?"
"Brother, it's not that there will be it, it will definitely happen. It just depends on how big it will be. Lanshan did some calculations. In just one breath, water equivalent to 300,000 shi of grain flows through the Yangtze River. The water flow
The speed has reached the speed of a 500-ton sea-going ship."
Li Er did not answer Li Yuanxing first, but said to Li Lanshan: "Lanyue, thank you for your hard work, for my brother..." Li Er did not say anything about his brother, but turned to Eunuch Gao beside him and said: "Send someone quickly.
The palace, send over the thousand-year-old ginseng, and send the royal doctor over to prepare some tonics!"
Basically, everything that is available in the imperial palace is available in the Prince of Qin’s Mansion.
Although it may be better, the taste of 800-year-old ginseng is not much worse than that of 1000-year-old ginseng.
But this was the intention of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Li Lanshan wanted to stand up and thank him politely, but Li Er signaled Li Lanshan to get up. Sitting on the chair next to Li Yuanxing, Li Ercai asked: "According to Lan Yue, this flood is very big."
"It's very big. With just one click of your hand, it's as big as more than 300,000 stones of grain..." At this point, Li Lanshan patted her head lightly: "My calculation was wrong."
Hearing Li Lanshan say that the calculation was wrong, Li Er was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but then he heard Li Lanshan say again: "It should be more than three million stones of grain. The river can flow through so much water with just one click. If it does not flow into the sea, and
It flows to a certain state or county, and in the blink of an eye, a county is gone."
The image that appeared in Li Er's mind was that of the raging flood and the helpless people. This was his Tang Dynasty, this was his country, and he couldn't ignore it.
"Can Wulang prevent this natural disaster?" Li Er asked seriously.
Li Yuanxing shook his head gently: "I can't stop it. But I know who can stop it!"
"Who?" Li Erxin said, who else has such power to stop this unimaginable natural disaster.
"Datang!" Li Er didn't understand what Li Yuanxing said.
But Li Er believed Li Yuanxing and only said: "Wu Lang, let me show you what you do!"
"Brother Imperial, I want your authorization to allow the Qin Palace to mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized in the Tang Dynasty. Let the world see how powerful the Tang Dynasty is!"
"It's for sure, brother!"
"Lanshan, write a message to Grandpa. Tell him that the frontline command has been handed over to Grandpa."
At this time, the cabinet master had already arrived in Suzhou. The water level of Taihu Lake could not be accurately measured with the current technology of the Tang Dynasty. However, the scope of Taihu Lake was twice as large. The cabinet master held in his hand the order of the King of Qin, which Li Yuanxing gave to Wu Zhao.
That piece.
"There are still 300,000 people in Suzhou City." The cabinet master said silently.
"Release water. Flood Wuhu County, and then borrow most of the water from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to transfer to Hangzhou, and then go out to sea from Hangzhou." Wu Zhao was coming up with ideas next to him.
Is it as simple as just saying "let it go"?
The cabinet master closed his eyes and thought about the rivers in his memory and the map of states and counties. "Girl, three hundred miles, three hundred miles will be swallowed up by the flood. Who has such great power!"
"Grandpa, the token in your hand can hold at least half of the power of the Tang Dynasty. That is the Tiance Qin King's Order!"
Wu Zhao was very sure of the power of that token.
The cabinet master didn't answer, but turned around and asked Xi Junmai: "Has the radio been repaired?"
"If we get back to Xianhuang, it will probably take another half an hour. The radio station in Suzhou City was only broken by the strong wind, but the radio station was not damaged." Xi Junmai answered seriously.
"Tell them, I want to see the pride of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Even if people pile up for me, I must put up the pole immediately. No excuses, no reasons. If we delay for half an hour here, there will be dozens of people.
People were swallowed by the flood." After the cabinet master finished speaking, Xi Junmai flew away.
Another guard approached: "Please be patient, Emperor Xian. Taihu has moved another twenty steps this way."
What the guard said is that Taihu Lake is huge again.
The cabinet master had no way of calculating how many cubic meters of water would be added if the diameter of Taihu Lake increased by one step, but it expanded another twenty steps so quickly. This speed already made people feel nervous.
The rain was still falling, and with such heavy rain and lightning, there was no way the airship could take off.
If a hydrogen airship is struck by lightning, the entire airship may turn into a fireball. The cabinet master really wants to know how big the water in the Yangtze River is now, and how heavy the rain is in the upper reaches?
Officials of the Tang Dynasty had never seen such a huge flood, and they did not expect the danger.
The cabinet master is an old general who has personally participated in the fight against floods. He clearly knows that the water is scary.
While the cabinet master was standing thinking for a moment, the water of Taihu Lake was less than five steps away from the cabinet master, and several guards were surrounding him.
"What are you afraid of?" The cabinet man shouted: "With this little water, there is nothing you can do for an old man like me."
Wu Zhao was also anxious: "I wonder if that bad guy Li Yuanxing knows the news here, why is this radio station broken?" After Wu Zhao complained, he turned around and cursed: "Who is responsible for protecting the radio station? It was blown down by the strong wind.
Don’t you know how to repair the electric poles immediately?”
The cabinet master stopped Wu Zhao. He knew clearly that ordinary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would not think of the impact of this heavy rain.
"Emperor Xian, there's a telegram." Xi Junmai rushed back. At least he didn't ask how to put the pole up again. He just ordered: "Read it!"
"The King of Qin ordered that the train from Chang'an to Xuzhou be requisitioned for military use. Twelve guards were mobilized, a total of 150,000 people, Qinling road workers were 100,000, and all railway road workers were requisitioned, a total of 300,000 people. They were sent to Jingzhou, Ezhou, and Jiangzhou respectively.
, Suzhou. Ordered Chang'an, Shannan, Jiangnan, South China, and Lingnan Road to collect straw bags. Ordered Nanyang to collect grain without limit. Ordered all the people in the Poyang Lake area to evacuate, and the city of Jingzhou to be closed." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, novels are better.
