Zhu Cihong summoned Lu Zhenfei to discuss the specific matters of the Northern Expedition.

Lu Zhenfei is a staunch main battle faction and has always been committed to promoting the Northern Expedition.

However, he had a disagreement with Zhu Cihong on the choice of the time of the Northern Expedition.

Zhu Cihong felt that it was better to suddenly launch the Northern Expedition than to wait until the following spring to make the Northern Expedition. Lu Zhenfei firmly believes that it is much more stable to launch the Northern Expedition after the beginning of spring.

Both sides had their own reasons to hold their own opinions, and they froze for a while.

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, we have not raised troops in winter. The expedition to Goguryeo during the Sui and Tang dynasties is an example. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "This soldier is serious. Goguryeo is equivalent to Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and of course the climate is very cold. But today's Northern Expedition is to recover Henan, Shaanxi, and North Zhili. How can this winter cold be the same as Liaodong? ”

Lu Zhenfei was stunned when he heard this. But he hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, this kind of thing should naturally be cautious, Your Majesty should be considerate of the people." ”

"It is precisely because I have to be sympathetic to the people's power that I want to go on a northern expedition at this time. Can this soldier know that Dongyu sent a lot of fine work to Qingzhou? ”

"I've heard a little about it."

Lu Zhenfei nodded.

"The purpose of these meticulous crops is to steal potatoes and sweet potatoes and bring them back to the north for planting."

Zhu Cihong said unhurriedly: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if Dongyu has food, it won't last long." I'm worried that some fish will slip through the net and bring back the potatoes and sweet potatoes for tartar planting, so that their first potatoes will be harvested in the spring. ”

The emperor explained the reason to himself so heartily, which made Lu Zhenfei feel very moved.

But moved to be moved, he still disagreed.

"Your Majesty, the minister believes in the ability of the people of Dongchang to do things, and I also ask Your Majesty not to change the fundamental plan of the Northern Expedition because of worry."

Seeing that Lu Zhenfei did not enter the oil and salt, Zhu Cihong was also very helpless.

What kind of character is this military department secretary, and he, the emperor, knows best.

"I know what this soldier is worried about. It is nothing more than that the supply line should not be stretched too long in winter. ”

Zhu Cihong paused and then said, "What if I solve this problem?" ”

Lu Zhenfei couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "How does Your Majesty solve this problem?" ”

The supply problem has always been a major problem restricting the army's operations, and if this problem is solved, it will indeed be of great benefit to the Northern Expedition.

"Hot air balloons."

Zhu Cihong said lightly.

"Hot air balloons?"

For hot air balloons, Lu Zhenfei is certainly no stranger.

This is His Majesty's invention. Of course Lu Zhenfei has heard of it.

But what does this thing have to do with combat?

"Maybe the soldier thinks that the hot air balloon can only be used for reconnaissance at best. But I can tell you that a hot air balloon thrown in the air may have an unexpected effect. ”

Aerial throwing...

Lu Zhenfei only felt that his brain was a little dizzy. His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts are really wild, and if you are not careful, you will not be able to keep up with his rhythm.

"Your Majesty means..."

"What I mean by this is that a firearm like the Sky-Shaking Thunder can be mounted on a hot air balloon and thrown directly. It will definitely work well. ”

Zhu Cihong said lightly.

Hiss!

Hearing this, Zhenfei couldn't help but gasp.

I have to say that this idea is really original.

Lu Zhenfei couldn't think of such a way.

"Your Majesty, have you tried the effect?"

"Naturally, I tried."

"How's it going?"

"It works great."

"I want to see it."

"Absolutely."

A brief conversation led to a consensus between the monarch and the ministers.

said that after the two monarchs and ministers left the palace, they went straight to the small school.

This small school yard dedicated to the Shence Army is now being used by Zhu Cihong as a testing ground for black technology.

After entering the small school field, Lu Zhenfei was attracted by the scene in front of him.

I saw a group of soldiers around the hot air balloon in the mouth of the Son of Heaven, what was they doing in full swing.

"Your Majesty, this is a hot air balloon?"

Lu Zhenfei gasped.

"Exactly."

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "If you want to, you can sit with me." ”

Lu Zhenfei hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." ”

For the courtiers, it is already a great gift to be able to be given by the Son of Heaven to ride in the forbidden.

Wouldn't being able to ride a hot air balloon with the Son of Heaven be similar to sitting in the same chariot as the Son of Heaven?

It's a great honor.

"Come, this soldier follows me."

I saw Zhu Cihong walk to the hot air balloon and walk in.

"Come on."

Lu Zhenfei swallowed a mouthful of spit, and stepped into the basket of the hot air balloon like Zhu Cihong.

It was the first time he had seen a hot air balloon, and he had only heard of it before.

It's truly amazing to see it with your own eyes.

"What does this soldier think?"

Zhu Cihong smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty, can this thing really fly?"

Until now, Lu Zhenfei still felt a little unbelievable. A basket that looks like a pig's urine bubble can fly into the sky.

"Up!"

Zhu Cihong did not answer Lu Zhenfei directly, but ordered in a deep voice.

I saw that the hot air balloon was slowly raised with the sound of the Holy Son of Heaven.

Of course, Lu Zhenfei didn't notice the movements of the people surrounding the hot air balloon, and all his attention was attracted by the hot air balloon flying itself.

I saw the hot air balloon slowly rising, and the objects on the ground became smaller and smaller.

The tiles on the eaves were no longer visible, and even the drums on the martial arts arena had become blurred.

Flying, really taking off.

Lu Zhenfei's breathing became rapid, and his face was even a little red.

Your Majesty really didn't lie to him, what Your Majesty said was true.

Hot air balloons can really fly!

When he thought about it, he felt stupid again.

Your Majesty is the true Son of the Dragon. How can a dragon not be able to fly?

Not to mention this height, it is not a problem to soar up to 90,000 miles in the clouds and fog.

"Your Majesty, can you be any higher?"

Lu Zhenfei's voice was already a little trembling, and his eyes were full of reverence when he looked at Zhu Cihong.

"Absolutely."

Zhu Cihong said lightly.

He made a gesture, and the soldiers in the balloon threw the sandbags in the balloon down.

Then the hot air balloon was raised a little more.

"It's amazing, it's really amazing."

Lu Zhenfei's beard trembled with excitement, and he couldn't stop waving his fists.

"With such an artifact, the destruction is just around the corner!"

In the existing understanding of the world, it is impossible to go to heaven and earth.

But now, the Son of Heaven has turned heaven and earth into reality.

Needless to say, the tactics of shelling up the city have been tried and tested repeatedly.

As for the heavens, it is even more powerful.

With this hot air balloon, it is easy to listen to information, and it will be easy to kill and injure Dongyu, as long as you throw the earth-shattering thunder from above.

The impact that Lu Zhenfei saw with his own eyes today was too great, which also changed his opinion that he couldn't attack in winter.

However, he still felt that it was not appropriate to attack aggressively, but to use the hot air balloon to complete the precise strike. For example, the granaries of the Tartars are the key targets.

As the saying goes, taking advantage of your illness will kill you. If you lack food, I will tell you to simply cut off food!
