Chinese dining table

Chapter 864

The baby girl struggled to leave the nurse's embrace after drinking the milk. Yin Erhu took the baby over and gave the nurse a bunch of money, then held the baby in her arms and patted her breasts. After the burp, sniffing the baby's crotch, and finding no foul smell, he tucked her back into his woolen cloak.

The diners’ comments kept coming into his ears. After listening for a while, Yin Erhu felt that the people of Bianzhou were actually quite heartless. Before he came to Bianzhou, he had read the evaluation documents about Zhang Daxiang collected by his own people. Generally speaking, Zhang Daxiang is still a relatively shameless person. During his tenure in Bianzhou, although his political achievements were mediocre, he did not do anything outrageous.

This place in Bianzhou is different from other places. The main reason is that it is surrounded by the famous Yellow River. After entering the boundary of Bianzhou, the big river suddenly changed from surging to a deep and quiet current.

It is not a good thing for the Yellow River to be quiet.

This means that the sediment carried in the river will slowly fall to the bottom of the river. Over time, the river bed will increase and the river will overflow. People have to continue to build river embankments in the distance. Wider, the slower the water flow, the more sediment will be deposited, and finally, it becomes an endless loop.

Zhang Daxiang hasn't done much other things in these years, but he is very concerned about this river. Before he took office, this river always changed its course in Bianzhou. Every year, there will be a major flood. After Zhang Daxiang led the people to raise the embankment stupidly, the river, which should have been changed long ago, continued to be calm for six years.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi are talking about this phenomenon.

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

The Yellow River does not freeze in winter, and the water in the river is also clear. Every winter is the quietest day of the year on the Yellow River. However, starting from April [-]th, the river here will freeze. Tomorrow is the first day of April [-]th.

The ice by the river is already very thick, and the ice is slowly expanding to the river surface. Yin Erhu came to the river and grabbed a handful of water. There were already some tiny ice spikes in the water. He dug a spoonful of water with a spoon, With a little stirring, the water in the spoon immediately freezes.

It seems that only one more cold wave is needed, and the river will freeze.

Xue Changfeng came to rescue Zhang Daxiang, not Yin Erhu, he just followed Yunchu's instructions and came to see this river specifically. Judging from the news from Youzhou, some people are very concerned about this river near Bianzhou .

Now, the river is about to freeze, and Yin Erhu felt that he should pass the news to Junhou.

Yunchu also placed a Yellow River in his central army tent, but this Yellow River is much smaller than the real Yellow River. Although it looks the same as the Yellow River, one is a natural phenomenon, and the other is It's more like a toy that the handsome man placed for himself when he was bored.

Gentle, Di Renjie and the two have been watching Yunchu make people pour water on the model one by one.

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

The water begins to pour from places like Mianchi where the river is narrow and the water flows fast. Therefore, after flowing all the way to Bianzhou and Jiyang, the river is basically not flowing.

Although it was cold and windy outside the military camp at this time, the soldiers were still pouring water into the river in Mianchi. Gradually, a thin layer of ice appeared on the river in Jiyang, and then the river in Bianzhou. By the evening, the thin ice had stretched to the mouth of Mengjindu.

Seeing that the river was no longer flowing so smoothly, Yunchu decisively smashed open the ice in Mengjin and Mengzhou. The broken ice slowly flowed along the river, smashing some of the frozen river. The river becomes a glacier full of crushed ice.

The shattered ice carried the shattered ice and continued down. When it arrived in Bianzhou, because the river here was the first to freeze and the ice layer was relatively thick, the shattered ice got under the ice layer and continued to move forward. After the thick Jiyang, there was an obvious stagnation situation, and finally the broken ice squeezed through the ice surface, forming an ice dam on the river.

And the soldiers responsible for pouring water into this big river still poured water into this big river unhurriedly. In the severe cold weather, there will be more ice in this river, and the ice dam formed in Jiyang It becomes more majestic.

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

When it was dark, the water of the Yellow River finally overflowed the embankment wrapped in cold ice. Seeing the river water, ice cubes rushed towards Bianzhou City and Jiyang City, Yunchu left the hand warmer in his hand that was no longer warm. Wen Wen, who also stood with him for a whole day in the cold weather, said to Di Renjie, "I just said, how could those people watch His Majesty act recklessly without any form of counterattack."

Gentlely frowned and said: "Yin Erhu sent news that the river in Bianzhou is already showing signs of freezing. He also said that the water there is extremely cold, and it can freeze if you stir it."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "It's not surprising, this is another abnormality of the mixture of ice and water. When you see Wen Huan, let him explain it to you. Don't bother me now."

Di Renjie said: "Has Guangsi learned these esoteric arts?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "I didn't learn it at first, but after being whipped by me, I got the hang of it."

Di Renjie clapped his hands abruptly and said, "Smack it, definitely pump it, pump it hard."

The three of them returned to the warm military tent, boiled cans of tea, and drank three rounds of tea to warm up their bodies. Yun Chu put down his teacups and said, "Now, tell me, how can we, in this incident, Maximize our interests without harming the people on both sides of the strait.”

Rourou thought for a while and said: "What was the situation in the past years? If it was like this every year, I don't believe that the Bianzhou government will not have a strategy to deal with it."

Yun Chu said: "In previous years, no one smashed the well-formed ice in the upper reaches, and the Yellow River was dry in winter, so the water surface did not change much. Sometimes something like this happens.

If it is to come out, it will only happen after the ice melts in spring. People in Bianzhou generally call this situation "peach blossom flood".

Gentlely said: "How to smash the ice surface is not an easy task."

Yun Chu smiled wryly and said, "Of course it was not easy before. Since the invention of gunpowder, using gunpowder to fry ice noodles is simply inconvenient."

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

Rourou asked again: "Defend the upper river..."

In the middle of the conversation, he changed his words again: "Do you have to blow up the ice surface at Mengjindu?"

Yun Chu said: "Actually, it is possible to go from Gongyi to Mianchi. The problem lies in Jiyang (Lankao), where the big river narrows, and it is easy to form ice dams, blocking the downstream flow of the river."

Di Renjie said: "In other words, there are 250 miles of rivers that need to be guarded by people day and night, right? Not to mention whether they can be guarded, even if there are enough people, they want to put some dead soldiers among so many people. , should be easy."

Gentlely said: "It's no wonder that when Wang Ben can't attack the city, he will flood the girders with water. It seems that the most convenient way to attack the city of Bianzhou is to attack by water."

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

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

Gentlely said: "It's better for me to go to Bianzhou to meet His Majesty, and show him this model by the way, to see if I can rescue Zhang Daxiang by the way."

Di Renjie sneered and said: "Don't worry about Zhang Daxiang not being rescued by then, you are finished first, otherwise, the emperor will think that you want to blast the ice to harm him.

Only Yun Chu is suitable for this kind of thing, you and I are not that important in the emperor's heart. "

Gentlely said: "Yun Chu is the commander-in-chief of the rear army, leaving the barracks without authorization 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 another chance to make a comeback."

Gentlely said: "Yun Chu gave His Majesty a secret performance, and then invited Prince Li Hong to visit Zhengzhou, and Li Si secretly wrote a secret performance for the Empress. In this way, it should be comprehensive."

Di Renjie said: "It's really peaceful and stable, and no one can offend. Remember to write the secret memorial to the emperor in larger characters, and don't let those eunuchs read it for you, otherwise, within a day, everyone will know about it. It's a shocker."

Yun Chu followed the good example and wrote a thick secret memorial to the emperor in large characters. Li Sizhao copied a copy, and was going to show the empress the stolen secret memorial after the emperor received the news.

As for Li Hong, Yunchu just wrote a letter telling him that he had made some new discoveries in knowledge and asked him to come over so that he could teach him the new knowledge.

Rourou frowned after reading the melody: "You didn't mention in the melody that someone planned to do this. You just told the emperor that Bianzhou is not a safe place. If the emperor feels safe, you are worrying too much." ?”

Yunchu said: "Isn't there still the queen and the prince? If they really plan to hold a "Plum Blossom News" in Bianzhou in winter, we can't prevent it. If this is the case, we can only urge the emperor to hurry up." Leaving Bianzhou, don't let him bring disaster to the people of Bianzhou.

He's gone, I think those people in Hebei and Shandong wouldn't be so crazy and careless about human life. "
