Chapter 53: The Song Dynasty

Even in ancient times when there were no meteorological satellites, old fishermen could judge the direction of the weather based on experience, especially from clues to predict whether there will be typhoons in the future. Now is not the season for typhoons to rage, but suddenly there is a strong tropical cyclone. The direct consequence is that the fleet waiting at sea will all lose their lives. Liu Yanzhi had no time to think about it and flew south as fast as possible, hoping to notify everyone to enter the port to shelter the wind before the typhoon.

When Liu Yanzhi watched TV, he often saw the weather forecast that the number of typhoons was mentioned. Then there was a huge white cloud that rotated counterclockwise on the screen. The typhoon in front of him was similar to the one on the TV, but the real typhoon was far more terrifying than the satellite image. Especially when Liu Yanzhi came here like this, he deeply felt the power and irresistible nature.

The storm has arrived, and lightning and thunder were roaring on the sea, and the intensity and density of thunder and lightning were far greater than the thunderstorms seen on land. It is somewhat similar to the Cambrian 500 million years ago. However, at that time, Liu Yanzhi existed in the form of Kunpeng. His huge body was enough to resist the bombardment of lightning, while his own body could not withstand the impact of voltage up to one billion volts.

Liu Yanzhi flicked and moved in the lightning, feeling more and more difficult. The dense lightning followed like a shadow, impenetrable, and countless lightnings slashed by his side. The sudden increase in the temperature in the lightning passage caused the air to expand violently and produced shock waves. It exploded like a small boat in a whirlpool torrent. He could not control the flight at all. He could only let the strong wind roll himself up and down, circling and falling, passing through the clouds, and only struggled to stop his whereabouts when he was about to fall on the sea.

In the distance, there is a blurred coastline outline, and here is the coastal area of ​​Kaohsiung.

The waves were surging, and the huge black waves as high as the mountain rolled up and down, hitting the land one by one. The hundreds of warships that were supposed to be docked neatly on the pier were no longer visible. Some of them had sunk, and many had already dispersed, following the waves, and the other was washed up on the land, scattered on the beach. Compared with the ships, people were much smaller, just like ants washed away by the water, leaving only one black dot and one black dot, scattered in the east and a cluster in the west, I don’t know whether it is death or life. There are only wind, rain, waves in the world.

Liu Yanzhi flew towards Kaohsiung in the heavy rain. Looking down from the air, the boats and buildings were like children putting on a bunch of toys and then pushing them over. Some of them were buried with the boats, some fell into the sea and floating in the water, and some fell on the beach or buildings without moving.

Suddenly, a fifteen-kilometer-long lightning flashed down, hitting Liu Yanzhi's body. He immediately lost consciousness and fell into the sea like a weight.

...

At the same time, Ji Yuqian and others, who were in the eyes of the storm, were stunned by this scene. Everyone stopped fighting, lowered their weapons, and looked at the strange sky with lightning in the black all over the four sides. There was endless thunder in their ears. God showed their might. Humans seemed extremely small at this moment. The fleet built by the Dayuan Empire was exhausted in an instant, and only the people landing in Kaohsiung were left.

The typhoon whistled towards the mainland, and the eyes of the typhoon moved east at any time. Kaohsiung, which was just sunny just now, immediately fell into a storm. The strong wind up the trees and the people outdoors were swept up by the wind. The heavy rain was poured out, and people could not see each other face to face.

The weather was so bad that the fight between Fan Wenhu and Ji Yugan had to stop temporarily. Driven by the instinct of survival, soldiers from both sides who were still fighting to the death just now rushed into the nearest building, with their backs on their backs, shoulder to shoulder, and praying that the house would be more solid and not be blown down by the strong wind.

Kaohsiung Prefecture is a temporary city. Simple houses made of red bricks and cement made of shells can shelter from wind and rain, but cannot withstand super strong typhoons. Countless tiles on the roof were lifted by the wind, and floods on the mountain washed down. Kaohsiung became a country of marina, and countless people drowned for a while.

The strongest and highest-level building in the entire city is the Song Dynasty Palace. The flood cannot flood here, but the cellar in the palace is not so lucky. Queen Mother Yang and a group of eunuchs and palace maids were locked up here. Under the storm, no one expected them. The accumulated water followed the steps into the dungeon. The water level was getting higher and higher, and gradually it was less than the knees of people.

The prisoners were panicked, and some people slapped the railings and called the guards to help their lives, but the sound of wind and rain was too loud and they could not hear them at all. The guards couldn't take care of themselves, and they couldn't care about these people. The palace maids began to cry, but only Empress Dowager Yang's expression was indifferent, and even a smile appeared.

This cellar was built by Dang Maiguo for Empress Dowager Yang. It specializes in storing ice and fresh fruits. Liu Qiu is located in the subtropical area and will not freeze in winter. However, Dang Lang has the ability to create ice in the hot summer. Empress Dowager Yang does not understand the principles of chemistry, but only knows that her Dang Lang is an exiled immortal who descends to earth and is omnipotent.

"Danglang, see you in the next life..." Empress Dowager Yang looked at death as if she was homeless and had no fear of the impending death. The only regret she regretted was that the child in her belly could not see her father.

The water was not in his chest and was still pouring in quickly. Everyone gave up their hope and opened their mouths and tried their best to breathe the remaining air. Suddenly, the iron door of the cellar opened, and the water level outside was very high, and the flow rate suddenly increased. In the blink of an eye, the dungeon was filled with water.

Empress Dowager Yang was submerged, and she felt that a powerful hand grabbed her and swam in the water... She seemed to meet Dang Lang, her warm lips, sweet love... Suddenly she regained consciousness and found herself lying in a dry room, with a familiar face looking over anxiously. Who else could it be if it were Dang Manchukuo.

"Dang Lang!" Empress Dowager Yang wanted to speak and she shed tears. She wondered if she was dead. She met Dang Paiguo in the underworld, but there were still storms outside, and there were killed Yuan soldiers inside. Dang Lang was wearing a wet straw raincoat and had to be equipped with a musket and a scimitar. It is easy to imagine how many desperate battles had occurred before.

"Shh." Dang Aiguo put his index finger on his mouth and signaled to silence. He arrived here at the risk of his life. He did not die on the road. He had to master the urban layout. The blueprint for the construction of Kaohsiung Prefecture was entirely his work. He knew the height of the city and could judge the direction of the water flow. In short, he relied on his rich scientific knowledge and used various tools to come to the palace. At the critical moment, he finally rescued his lover. After some artificial respiration, he pulled Queen Mother Yang back from the brink of death.

People were rescued, but how to escape was a problem. The party and the patriotism dared to break through anywhere, and they could not move forward with a pregnant woman. Fortunately, no one came to cause trouble for them, and everyone was trying their best to fight against the power of nature.

The typhoon lasted for a day and a night, and Kaohsiung Prefecture was almost razed to the ground. Tens of thousands of people died in battle. The 200,000 people died in disasters, and only more than 10,000 people survived. The 100,000 troops were also damaged. After the storm stopped, the flood still existed, and the water accumulated to the waist.

Ji Yugan was not dead, Fan Wenhu was not dead, and the 100,000 Jiangnan troops were destroyed. Both of them wanted to put the blame on each other. Only a person who could not speak could honestly bear the death penalty of losing his troops and humiliating the country. So they started to attack each other when the rain stopped. The gunpowder was wet and could not be used, and the power of the bowstring was greatly reduced. Both sides used swords, guns, swords and halberds to fight, and they were having fun killing.

Dang Aiguo took advantage of the chaos and took Empress Dowager Yang to escape. On the way, he met some Song survivors, including the families of Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Shijie. Everyone rode a simple sampan made of furniture and trees to the beach. However, when they arrived at the beach, they found that there were no ships available. All the ships were destroyed by typhoons, and the cannons weighing thousands of pounds were blown to the land. Just as they were sighing at the ocean, a shadow of sail appeared in the sky.

It was the Ma Yi fleet commanded by Dang Huanshan who arrived. Dang Aiguo led everyone to the deck, and Empress Dowager Yang could not hold on and the child was about to be born early, so a group of women helped deliver the baby. Half an hour later, a baby girl fell to the ground.

The Party was so happy that he became a father.

As for the child's nominal grandfather, in the scientific sense, another father, Dang Huanshan, was not so happy. Liu Yanzhi disappeared. Now he is the one who has the idea. Whether to take advantage of the chaos to attack Liu Qiu, or sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, he has to make a decision.

"Retreat." Dang Huanshan finally made a decision. Kaohsiung has been destroyed, and even if he takes down this place, it will be useless. There will be a plague after the disaster. It is better to go back and do your best to manage Ma Yi.

The fleet headed south, and Dang Paiguo asked everyone: "How did you escape the typhoon?"

"We don't know that the fleet's sea area is located in a calm wave for about three or four square kilometers." Liu Handong said, "One thousand meters away is a big wave that is dozens of meters high, and these waves are all around us."

"The typhoon is coming strangely." Dang Maiguo said in his heart, "Where is Yanzhi?"

"He went to support you, and he has no whereabouts yet."

"He won't be in trouble." Dang Aiguo was not worried about Liu Yanzhi's safety. This guy could go to the nine heavens to capture the moon and go to the five oceans to chase turtles. He could not get on a typhoon.

In the cabin, Empress Dowager Yang looked at her third child lovingly. She had given birth to two children for Song Duzong before, one man and the other was dead in the war. This was her third daughter and the true love crystallization, the child of her and Danglang.

Dang Aiguo walked in, looked at the sleeping baby, and asked, "The Queen Mother, it's a princess."

Empress Dowager Yang was stunned: "Danglang, she is not a princess, and I am not a queen mother. She is your daughter. I am Yang Wanyi, not Empress Dowager Yang. The queen mother is dead."

Dang Paiguo said seriously: "No, you are also the empress dowager of the Song Dynasty. This child is the princess of the Song Dynasty. In the future, the princess will ascend the throne and become the queen of the Song Dynasty. The weak ministers will do their best to assist the queen in governing the country and restore the Han family's mountains."

With the wisdom of Empress Dowager Yang, it is not difficult to understand the party’s intention of patriotism. Danglang needs to use the prestige of the Zhao Song royal family to win over the hearts of the people and establish the Song Dynasty overseas. This is the ambition and ambition of men. As a woman, what can he do besides unconditional support?

"Ai's family is tired, let's kneel down and rest assured." Empress Dowager Yang said lightly.
