Ancient natural disasters, walking sideways in the maximum level space!
Chapter 46 Moving the Capital
To make matters worse, after the earthquake in Kyoto, a volcano to the northwest erupted again.
This time the coverage area is wider than last time. Fortunately, the villages at the foot of the mountain affected last time have been relocated, and this time the smoke covered Tan County.
Memorials were delivered to the emperor's desk like snowflakes, and Emperor Mingde's hair turned white with worry. The people had gained experience from this disaster, and the death toll was greatly reduced.
However, most of the palace had collapsed. The palace maids, eunuchs and guards tried their best to rescue it, but they could only dig out the national treasury, the kitchen storehouse and the stored supplies.
All the private vaults in other palaces were buried, and only one in ten of the concubines' belongings remained. The concubines and princesses looked sad, but there was nothing they could do.
There were also heavy casualties at the minister's residence in Kyoto, with all the wounds bandaged in a terrible state as they gathered at the gate of the palace where the emperor held court.
Eunuch Huang quickly brought an ordinary chair to Emperor Mingde. There was no other way, the dragon throne was still buried under the rubble, and the guards were still trying to rescue it.
"Your Majesty, what can we do now? The palace is in ruins.
Countless civilians in the city have been killed or injured!" Prime Minister Lin knelt down and asked for instructions, holding up his injured arm.
Duke Anguo, who was standing next to him, had hit his leg and could have stayed away from the court, but the court was changing rapidly, so he would rather be carried on a stretcher to listen to the emperor's decision.
“Yes, Your Majesty, in the villages within a hundred miles, the people and livestock have suffered heavy casualties.
The river was already dry, and now it's dry. The people have no hope. Your Majesty, what should we do next?
Emperor Mingde looked at the wounded courtiers below and the ruined imperial palace around him.
He gave an order in a resounding voice, "Pass it down, move the capital south!"
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, the people in the palace and the surrounding areas of Kyoto all received the news.
His Majesty is moving the capital to the south!
Now only the south is free of drought and earthquakes, but the road to the south has been cut off by a large crack.
Moreover, an earthquake occurred in the direction of Dongli County, making the journey difficult, so after discussion among the ministers, they decided to go directly east by land, and then take a boat across the sea all the way south.
I didn’t expect that the wild land of Lingnan has now become a fertile land.
The barren land that people were afraid of became the place of salvation for the people of the Great Xia Dynasty!
The imperial palace, ministers, merchants, and common people all packed up their belongings and headed south in a mighty procession.
Most people still traveled by land using donkey carts, ox carts or human power.
The merchants were shrewdly watching the ministers' movements. When they heard that all the civil and military officials in the court were going to follow the emperor by water, they immediately sent people to the dock to make arrangements and build ships.
The secret guards also notified the eastern capital as quickly as possible and used their utmost effort to build the strongest and largest royal ship.
All of a sudden, the city of Linhai in the east became busy.
The news of the capital relocation spread throughout the country, and the people of the entire Great Xia Dynasty who lived in the west and north all moved south.
Jiang Yue didn't know all this. Since the extreme heat, she and Xiao Zhu had been staying indoors.
Every day I hid in the cellar, eating ice cream and reading novels, and my life was leisurely and happy.
Only Xiaozhu would occasionally go up to check the sky. Almost no one in the village walked around. Even at night the temperature was as high as 40 degrees Celsius. These ancient people had poor heat tolerance and were unwilling to wear short sleeves when walking outside, so they could only wear less at home to keep cool.
The news of the capital's relocation came from the village chief's son, who was teaching in the county town. He heard that the emperor had moved the capital to Lingnan.
The county town was in chaos, and all the residents had gone home to pack up their belongings. They were also affected by the earthquake.
The damage was not that severe, but the walls and soil were cracked, and the people lived in fear.
Now that they heard that the imperial palace had been moved, the people had no place to stay and they all moved eastward.
When the son of the village chief of Liujia Village heard the news in the academy, the academy was notifying the closure of the academy.
He rushed home and told the village chief, who was shocked and called a meeting.
After discussion, everyone felt that the river in Liujia Village was now dry and the crops were dead.
They would starve to death here, so it would be better for them to follow the emperor to the south, where there might be a glimmer of hope.
Not only Liujia Village thinks so, but all the villages to the north really think so.
All of a sudden, all the villages, county towns, and provincial capitals in the north and west of the Great Xia Dynasty moved to the south and east.
Streams of people converged onto the official road, and all those north of the big crack headed east.
It is closer to the south, so migrate directly south.
Xiao Zhu ran down the cellar in a panic. Jiang Yue was just seeing the exciting part when she interrupted her.
"Miss! Miss! It's terrible, something big has happened!!"
Jiang Yue sat up in a vest and shorts, without taking her eyes off the novel on her phone.
"What's going on, Xiaozhu? You're so anxious. What's the big deal? A wild boar has entered the village?"
Xiao Zhu was so anxious that she pulled Jiang Yue's arm and said, "No, Miss. Liujia Village is holding a meeting in the ancestral hall. They say that Kyoto has moved the capital south!
Now all the people in the north and west have migrated south."
Jiang Yue immediately raised her head and put down her phone, "What? Moving the capital? Why are you moving the capital all of a sudden? This is a big deal!
Did the village chief say what to do with Liujia Village?"
"The village chief told everyone to pack up and leave tonight. I just ran into the village chief when I went out, and he told us to pack up too!"
It's been so peaceful lately that Jiang Yue even forgot she was in a book about natural disasters.
I quickly entered the home space, and the novel on the computer in the study had been updated.
It was said that Kyoto had suffered a major earthquake and the volcano had erupted again, making it uninhabitable.
Now the entire Great Xia Dynasty is migrating southward, and even the troops in the north have withdrawn to their defense lines and are ordered to migrate southward.
The Liang State in the north had already moved its capital, so the earthquake and volcano did not cause any casualties.
The Jin Dynasty further north also suffered heavy losses. They made a living by grazing on the grasslands.
A month ago, there was a locust plague. In a few days, countless livestock died and all the green grass on the grassland was eaten up. The nomadic people of the Great Jin Dynasty had to move again and again.
However, the locusts seemed to be targeting them, coming in waves.
Before the grass roots had a chance to emerge, they were attacked by locusts. Without the help of turf, the yellow land soon began to desertify in some places.
The people of the Great Jin were also suffering terribly, and the Khan of Huangzhang was worried. When he first heard that the Liang State had moved its capital, he did not take it seriously.
Now I heard that the Great Xia Dynasty was also moving its capital, and the situation on my own grassland was the same. I also began to think about moving, but I had no idea where to move next.
The State of Liang was experiencing a flood, and heading southeast, the southernmost city of the State of Liang was close to the East China Sea and the Donghai Prefecture City of Daxia.
When Daxia moved its capital eastward, it happened to be in Donghai Prefecture, which was only two hundred miles away.
After Jiang Yue read the latest update, except for the unclear conversation between Concubine Liang and Princess Yaochi in the palace, she basically understood the rest of the situation.
Now the direction of the world has completely deviated from her outline and has reached extreme heat.
She also started to continue updating, which means that everything that happened afterwards was out of her control.
After staying in the space for more than an hour, I opened the control panel and looked at the primeval forest above, where countless animals of all sizes were living and multiplying.
He also looked at the coastal cities, the gold, silver, jewelry and hot weapons in the desert, the salt lakes, the large farms in Northeast China, and the crops growing on the black soil in Northeast China.
I have infinite courage to walk in my heart!
