Chapter 356 Rainstorm! Rainstorm Moon(1/2)
What Liu Mingqi wanted to remind Ge Song was to tell him not to ignore the situation of water rise.
Now, not only did Ge Songdao not ignore it, but instead sent a confidant general to take charge of Chongqing in advance, which obviously attached great importance to it.
So Liu Mingqi didn't say much to him. After confirming that his tobacco seeds would not be flooded, he returned to the inn.
The weather is already very hot in late June. On days without air conditioning, people can only come to cool off at their doorstep.
The men were dressed very coolly, but they were still sweating like rain.
It was just by chance that he had just entered the inn and raindrops as big as beans began to fall on his head.
"Ka! Da! Da!..."
The raindrops as big as beans hit the eaves drop by drop, making a very loud noise.
Then the raindrops fell directly into every corner of the town like a pot of small marbles.
"Crackling..."
Standing under the eaves, Liu Mingqi really heard this terrifying voice.
The key is that there is no lightning and thunder yet.
What does this mean?
Ask me?
I don't understand either.
Liu Mingqi just felt that she was in a bad mood.
I hope this rain will fall around Chengdu and don’t spread to the entire Sichuan!
I was thinking about it here, someone was sighing next to me.
Without looking back, you will know who it is when you hear the old cow-like sigh.
"Your Highness Prince Yi, you were conquered last night and were conquered by the girls in reverse, right?"
"Bah! Am I such a weak person?" Liu Mingjing spat, "I'm just sighing that it's raining so heavily, and the girls Qianqian and the others who made an appointment last night have time to wait for us again."
"cut!"
Liu Mingqi shook her head, "You guy... don't know how to worry about the country and the people, what's the use for you?"
"I want to worry about the country and the people, but my ancestors didn't give me this opportunity!" Liu Mingqi spread her hands, "so I'd better have fun in time!"
Seeing that Liu Mingqi was not in high spirits, Liu Mingjing asked, "What are you worried about?"
The two of them have not chatted much these days, and he doesn't know whether Liu Mingqi is running around.
After all, Liu Mingjing, who has played in the last two games, is in a very refreshing mood. He feels that he has fulfilled his major pursuit in life and has a bit of indulgence.
Liu Mingqi told him about the rise in the water level that Nangong Qiucheng started in Yichang, until he talked about what happened in the Southwest Governor's Office just now.
Finally, the boy sighed, "What I worry most now is the source of the Yangtze River... If there is any problem, there should be clues there... Unfortunately, I can't see it in time."
This is the disadvantage of ancient times.
In modern times, the water flow conditions in the Tuotuo River area at the source of the Yangtze River can be directly observed through satellites, thereby judging the flood situation this year.
Now even if there are carrier pigeons, after a walk around like this, it will take ten days and half a month to get a result.
That would be too slow.
Liu Mingjing's face suddenly became a little strange.
He scratched his head and said, "I know something..."
"What's the situation?" Liu Mingqi smiled, "You won't listen to any girl, do you?"
"no."
Liu Mingjing denied it immediately, "It's not a girl, it's from the small tribe alliance."
"Um?"
Liu Mingqi was immediately shocked.
The part where the small tribe alliance is located happens to be in the modern central Qinghai.
According to their description, it seems that it is not too far from the Tuotuo River, and several of the rivers seem to be connected.
"What did they say?" Liu Mingqi asked quickly.
"It was also after the transaction in April that the butler Leng Yuan mentioned it when he came back." Liu Mingjing recalled, "He said that the group of people from the Small Tribe Alliance were drinking and said that there was no such blizzard in Tanggula Mountain or Bayan Mountain for many years.
There is no way to get up the mountain than a hundred meters, so many small tribes that approached them last winter were very sad. Fortunately, there were leaders from several major tribes who supported them, and the business was good…”
"Damn!"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Mingqi swears.
Because Liu Mingqi finally recalled what the two mountains Liu Mingjing said were!
Tanggula Mountain is relatively more famous, but at the beginning Liu Mingqi did not expect that it happened to be the birthplace of the Tuotuo River and the birthplace of the Yangtze River!
It was also when Liu Mingqi tried hard to recall what other Bayan Mountains there were, and then he suddenly realized that there was a mountain range on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau called Bayankala Mountains!
And this Bayankala Mountain happens to be the birthplace of the Yellow River.
What river does the Yellow River correspond to?
Isn’t it the Yangtze River in Tanggula Mountain?!
It immediately broke into each other.
Blizzards fall in Mount Tanggula and Mount Bayankala!?
What does this mean?
This shows that a lot of snow has accumulated last year.
When the temperature continues to rise in summer, all of these snow will melt into water!
The snow melts into water, turning into the origin of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and then goes downstream and continues to flow into other tributaries in the middle, resulting in a larger water flow. Can the middle and lower reaches be well?
The boy didn't care about Liu Mingjing and ran back to the room like a flying person.
He picked up his pen and started writing his secret memorial.
A secret memorial to the emperor.
"Minist Mingqi urgently reported to His Majesty that he has learned that the snow at the source of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River has melted too much this year, and the two rivers are likely to usher in major flood disasters in July and August this year. I hope Your Majesty will not be underestimated. We must take precautions in advance to avoid floods coming and causing disasters. We will repeat the tragic incident last year!"
Before Liu Mingqi left the capital, Emperor Jinghe gave Liu Mingqi a pair of carrier pigeons, so that he could report it secretly if he had something to do.
When he was in Yibin, Liu Mingqi asked He Fei to write a letter to Ge Songdao and the court, talking about the abnormal water level in Yibin this year.
At that time, he hadn't noticed that the problem was so big, and he thought that this was enough.
As a result, I only now realize that the problem is much bigger than I imagined!
According to common sense, the large-scale melting of snow this year should be in May. Now a large number of rivers have flowed out of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. At the earliest, it will be in the next ten days and can swarm through the Jinsha River.
The slowest thing is that the time left for Dakang people is only about twenty days.
Of course, if the flood peaks are ready and start to defend and strengthen dam construction from Hubei, Jingji, Anhui and Jiangsu in advance and actively discharge floods, the harm created will be much smaller.
Even if Sichuan and Shaanxi are flooded, as long as Jiangnan and central areas can be preserved, the entire empire will not cause chaos.
When Liu Mingqi wrote the secret, she deliberately exaggerated the degree of the flood, with the purpose of wanting the emperor to pay attention to it.
Even if it is a false alarm, it is better than taking it lightly.
After writing the secret memorial and copying it again, Liu Mingqi saw that it was still raining heavily. He did not rush to release the two carrier pigeons, but quickly took the carriage to the Southwest Governor's Mansion.
As a result, Ge Songdao was not in the Southwest Governor's Office, and it is said that he had already gone to Dujiangyan.
Liu Mingqi had no choice but to leave a book for him, wrote about what he had heard, and asked him to be more careful and cautious.
Then the boy returned to the inn.
I originally thought that such a heavy rain would stop the next day and I could release the carrier pigeon.
But unexpectedly, the rainstorm continued all day the next day.
It was even on the third day, and the rain did not weaken at all.
Now, even if anyone who is slow to react, he understands that this situation is too abnormal.
The heavy rainstorms are definitely not as simple as muddy roads. What is even more terrifying is that the current flow into the rivers will continue to increase, which will cause floods and floods!
Liu Mingqi had no choice but to risk letting two carrier pigeons fly.
As we all know, carrier pigeons are prone to accidents during flight, so Liu Mingqi wrote two secret memos, tied to the legs of the two carrier pigeons.
If something goes wrong with one, there is another one that can be used for backup.
Besides, the best pigeons are flying in groups. If there are more pigeons, the return rate will be very high.
But this heavy rain has been covered in the sky for several days. Whether the carrier pigeon can still arrive at the palace safely is a huge test.
I only want the people who raise pigeons in the palace to be good, train these pigeons better so that they can also exert their strength in the storm.
