Chapter 2118 World Crisis!
"Come here, prepare a carriage for me, I want to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"
Wang Chong looked stern and suddenly said.
"call!"
In just a moment, when Wang Chong walked out of the door, the air flow surged, and the breeze blew in front of him. The sky turned dark at some point. Wang Chong raised his head and clearly felt that the air flow from the north to the south contained a hint of chill that he had never felt before.
"drive!"
Time was running out. Wang Chong quickly came to his senses and boarded the carriage. Following the driver's shout, the wheels started turning and headed towards the palace in the north.
To withstand this great cold wave, Wang Chong's strength alone is not enough. He must also get the full support of Li Heng and the imperial court.
…
On this day, the entire empire remained as peaceful as before, but the history of the empire will always remember this day.
When Wang Chong entered the palace and told everything about the Great Cold Wave, Emperor Li Heng was shocked like never before.
In just over half an hour, countless eunuchs were sent out, and all civil and military officials in Beijing were summoned into the palace, including the King of Song, Zhangchou Jianqiong, the Grand Master, the Grand Tutor, the Six Ministers, the Minister, and the Imperial Academy. , Qin Tianjian, the palace officials in charge of the history books, and the Yan family who are familiar with history, all gathered together.
This was a special "court meeting" that had never happened before. For one day and one night, all the ministers were so busy that they didn't even have time to eat and rest.
It wasn't until the evening of the next day that everyone left the palace with solemn faces.
At the same time, just after this special "court meeting" was held, the entire empire was in motion. Countless orders and instructions, like snowflakes, quickly flew into the hands of officials at all levels in all states.
Heng'an County, Yangquan, and Shuozhou were previously led by Wang Chong. Tens of millions of tons of coal were dug out from these three places. Under the escort of countless officers and soldiers, they were distributed to the 11th Road of the Tang Dynasty and 360 One thousand five hundred and fifty-four counties in the state;
In addition to the officials of the imperial court, the power of the people, including the caravans of various aristocratic families, were also mobilized.
The kerosene from Dashi, the cotton and sheepskins purchased by Wang Chong before, and the quilts made from them were also distributed and transported to various places by nearly 10,000 caravans under the arrangement of the imperial court according to actual conditions.
Facing this unprecedented cold wave,
Keeping warm is always the first priority.
In addition to these bustling cities and remote mountains, Jiangnan East Road, Jiangnan West Road, Jiannan Road, Lingnan East Road, Lingnan West Road... all the giant granaries built by Wang Chong in these places have their doors open. With a wave of his hand, the general mobilized troops from all over the country to load bags of grain into trucks and escort them to various prefectures and counties.
…
This was an unprecedented and massive operation. All the forces that Datang could mobilize were mobilized, making the entire empire spin rapidly like clockwork.
"Wang Chong, do you think we can really survive this great cold wave, continue the late emperor's last wish, and allow this world to maintain peace for eternity?"
Inside the palace, on the high city wall, the cold wind howled. Li Heng and Wang Chong stood side by side, looking down at the huge and unaware capital, their eyes full of worry.
After reading all the information about the great cold wave, Li Heng almost couldn't sleep at night.
Everyone wants to be the emperor. For this supreme imperial power, the eldest prince Li Ying even raised an army to rebel. But only after sitting in this position will he realize that the throne is not only a right, but also a deep responsibility. and burden.
"Yes, it will definitely happen!"
Wang Chong said calmly, looking forward with firm eyes.
A cool breeze blew by, and the weather became colder than before.
…
"call!"
The cold wind was howling, and when the entire Tang Empire was busy and going all out to cope with the coming "Great Ice Age", the entire north, from the Goguryeo Empire to the Hanjue Khanate, to Uszang, Congling , and the entire northern realm of the Western world, a terrifying cold current surges down.
Goguryeo Empire.
Ucheon River, Jangjin River, and Cicheng River are the three major rivers of the Goguryeo Empire and are called the mother river by the Goguryeo people.
The wind was howling, and the cold wind was overwhelming, mixed with a large amount of snow foam and hail, sweeping down from the north. Looking from a distance, it was a vast expanse of white.
Snow foam and hailstones slapped on the walls of Maruto Castle, making bursts of crackling sounds.
In Marudu City, soldiers and horses were originally standing tall and heavily guarded, but at this moment, a large number of soldiers and horses shrank into the city, and there was silence between heaven and earth.
"Crack!"
Suddenly, waves of subtle crisp sounds came from the river. Unknowingly, not many people noticed that the rushing river suddenly slowed down, and a thin layer of ice suddenly appeared on the surface of the river. With the cold current, Raging, this thin layer of ice quickly thickened and spread rapidly around.
…
**Jue Khanate.
All the way east from the Shilka River, about twenty miles away, is Chita.
This is the northern border of the **Jue Khanate, and it is also an extremely important pastoral area. Looking from a distance, on the huge grassland, a large number of herdsmen are driving cattle and sheep to graze here.
The entire area is densely populated with livestock, at least nearly a million cattle and sheep, as well as a large number of horses.
Herdsmen riding horses and driving their livestock here after grazing, return to the Shilka River not far away to drink water, going back in the morning and returning in the evening. This has been the case for hundreds of years.
There is peace on the grassland.
"Boom!"
But the next moment, the earth shook and the sky shook, and a huge movement came from the far north.
"Urha haha, Guhama!"
An old herdsman with a wrinkled forehead and a sheepskin jacket riding a herd horse, holding a long driving pole in his hand, suddenly turned around and shouted at a young man behind him.
Behind him, the young man who looked to be in his twenties hesitated for a moment, suddenly clamped his horse's belly, and was about to go to check, when suddenly
"call!"
In the eyes of everyone, like thousands of ghosts howling, a white storm was overwhelming on the northern horizon, heading towards Chita.
The storm swept across the sky and shook the earth. The momentum was like a galloping horse. It was so frightening that the entire earth trembled, and the shaking became more and more violent.
On the ground, the cows and sheep also felt something, and raised their heads one after another, looking to the north.
"Suralu, Sayema!"
When the old herdsman saw the overwhelming blizzard, his face instantly turned extremely white, and even his lips trembled.
And all around, the herdsmen looked pale, and they rushed forward one after another, driving their cattle, sheep and horses vigorously. Groups of cattle and sheep were howling and moving south. However, such a huge herd of livestock wanted to move quickly. Escape from the storm, easier said than done?
The earth was rumbling, deafening. In just a moment, the cold wind howled and the storm roared in. The vast wind, snow and hail suddenly enveloped the entire Chita, and all the livestock were trapped in it.
When there was only the howling of the cold wind in his ears, and a vast expanse of whiteness in front of his eyes, even the experienced old herdsmen completely lost their bearings and were in a panic.
"What!"
"Moo!"
Waves of cattle and sheep screamed one after another, and when the storm came, the temperature on the entire grassland dropped sharply, from the normal temperature to 30 or 40 degrees below zero.
In the snowstorm, a large number of hailstones were as solid as rocks, rolling and falling from the clouds.
These hailstones were big and small. The small ones were only the size of a thumb, while the big ones were as big as a fist or even bigger. Boom, a huge piece of hail fell and hit a fleeing war horse. The horse didn't even hum. With one sound, his head was dented, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and he fell to the ground.
And a strong wind blew close to the ground, lifting dozens of sheep into the air and throwing them into the air...
I don’t know how long it took, but when the cold wind passed by and headed further south, the entire Chita finally returned to its former peace, leaving only the corpses of cattle and sheep on the ground, and the frost all over the mountains and plains.
…
And at the same time.
On the Uzang Plateau, tens of thousands of tents were crushed by the snowstorm and submerged.
In Dashi, crystal clear and vivid ice sculptures are scattered all over the streets and alleys. They are the corpses of the frozen dead.
In Western Turks...
From east to west, north to south, the entire land world is completely covered in ice and snow.
…
On the other side, distant Youzhou.
On a high hill, in the sky, thin snowflakes fell from the sky like goose feathers, and just below the snowflakes, a figure stood, with chubby five fingers stretched out, quietly looking at a velvet-like Tiny flakes of snow floated into the palm of his hand, and then with a click, he clenched his fingers tightly, and the chubby, seemingly kind, yet sinister face slowly revealed a smile.
"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord, those men in black finally started to take action, the cold wave broke out ahead of schedule."
At this moment, a voice rang out. Baizhendra's long eyebrows trembled, and he suddenly came out of the queue, bent down, and said respectfully in front of Anjaluoshan.
"The cold wave has moved south. From Mount Paektu all the way to Uzang, ice and snow appear frequently, and the temperature drops sharply. In the Han Dynasty, millions of cattle and sheep have frozen to death, causing heavy losses! Sumish Khan's side has held a court meeting for five consecutive days in order to cope with the severe cold wave."
"The opportunity my lord has been waiting for has finally arrived."
Zhao Kan also bent down and said excitedly.
The ice disaster has come and the weather has changed drastically. From north to south, all the forces are frightened. At this moment, the only people who can still show excitement on their faces are the people of Youzhou.
"What did Yeon Gaesumon say?"
An Yaluoshan smiled calmly and said.
"The three rivers of the Goguryeo Empire are frozen. The lord told him before that the end of the world is coming and the cold wave will fall. He nodded on the surface, but actually he didn't believe it at all. But now, he has to believe it even if he doesn't believe it. The Xuchuan River is frozen. This is the case in Goguryeo. This is something unprecedented in the history of the empire!”
"Yeon Gaesumun has already taken the initiative to send a letter, asking about the alliance and the subsequent dispatch of troops."
Zhao Kan said with a snicker. (Huang Ji..6565556)--(Huang Ji)
