There have been more than one hot air balloon crash in the Xianjun army, most of which are not caused by human manipulation, but meteorological factors, and the uncertainty of high-altitude meteorology is the biggest natural enemy of hot air balloons.

However, the benefits of hot air balloons are too many, and the cooperation with high-powered telescopes has greatly expanded the military's field of vision, and aerial bombing and high-altitude terrain reconnaissance have subverted the traditional combat pattern. Even when the wind direction, distance, and meteorological conditions are favorable, it is very convenient to carry out a small amount of airdrop and replenishment of your own units in a small stronghold, and a small number of troops to be projected.

Although the effect is not ideal most of the time due to the interference of meteorological factors, it can still have an excellent effect if there are many of them.

However, the safety factor of hot air balloons is too low, and even in modern times, hot air balloon crashes have occurred from time to time.

For this reason, after the Xianjun popularized hot air balloons, it explicitly forbade military attachés above the capital level and corresponding civilian officials to ride in hot air balloons, and members of the royal family were even more prominent.

Zhou Kong wanted to take a hot air balloon on a whim, but naturally he was not allowed. However, she likes to sing the opposite, questioning Bailiyan's authority inappropriately, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and leaning towards the tigers, and she doesn't know what "powerful" is if she doesn't hit the south wall.

"What if I have to sit!"

As soon as Zhou Kong said a word, Bai Liyan's face sank, and he looked up at the sky, and the hot air balloon looking at the southeast was tied to the shore, the wind direction was due north, and the hot air balloon was just above the waters of the Biqing River. Seeing this, he had a plan and agreed to the request very happily:

"Okay, this marshal specially approved General Zhou to take a hot air balloon, but we have to wait for Ben Shuai to deploy carefully."

"That's what you said, don't play any tricks on me."

"When did you see Ben Shuai go back on your word?"

Bai Liyan shook her head and glanced at Zhou Kong, feeling angry and funny. But where the letter can be established, people have no faith is not established, things are not trustworthy, no business is not prosperous, the word "credit" is more important than a thousand gold, but it is difficult to find a thousand gold.

The foundation of the New Deal is that the imperial court has ensured the basic survival needs of the people's livelihood for a long time, liberated people's enthusiasm, and at the same time, the continuation and continuity of the policy have made the implementation of the New Deal a virtuous circle.

If the order of the court is changed overnight, this year's policy will not be effective, and next year it will be completely overturned and started all over again, which will not only waste strategic time, but also lose trust with the people, and fundamentally hit the trust relationship between the lower strata and the imperial court, and hit the enthusiasm of individual production.

In the same way, the use of military recruitment in domestic and foreign affairs and the observance of the due purpose are not only the embodiment and implementation of the country's will, but also can create a more favorable and flexible strategic environment.

Previously, it was the demonstration effect of the surrender of Zhaocheng, which continued to radiate, that the Xian army could easily continue to recruit rebels to the west, eliminate the worries of the newly attached rebels, and make them serve the Xian army.

Of course, there are no absolutes, and in most cases, "credit" is relative, and it varies from person to person, with different positions and different understandings.

Zhou Kong guarded the city, Bailiyan used both coercion and coercion to lure her three times, each time it was worse than the last, so in Zhou Kong's eyes, Bailiyan was a sinister, cunning, scheming, despicable and shameless standard villain.

When he arrived at the baggage camp, he inquired and learned that Gongliang Xiu was in the arsenal and didn't know what he was doing. When he was found, he was talking to the soldiers of the Xian army.

"I heard that Brother Gongliang is looking for objects in our army, I don't know what Brother Gongliang is looking for?"

Bai Liyan motioned for the soldiers to withdraw, and Gongliang Xiu hurriedly calmed down, looking like nothing had happened.

"It's not much, I learned that the Yongxing Hou camp transported baggage, so I want to come and see."

"There is no defense for Brother Gongliang in our army, Brother Gongliang just looks around, why do you want to come to this arsenal, this place is extremely dangerous, and the slightest mistake has caused Brother Gongliang's life, how can you let me explain to the old general Gongliang."

"Huh...... What Yongxing Hou said is very true, then leave here in the next place. ”

After speaking, Gongliang Xiu was about to leave, but Bailiyan stopped him and said:

"Say, Brother Gongliang wants to know what's going on, as long as Ben Shuai can say it, he will tell the truth."

Gongliangxiu quickly looked at Bailiyan, and saw that it didn't look like a scolding, and Gongliangxiu, who was still a little apologetic, was confident at this time.

"I recently reported that the Xianjun used a kind of white fire powder in Juxia Pass, which is very powerful, but is there such a thing?"

"Oh...... It turned out that Brother Gongliang wanted to ask about it. ”

"Why, you really have a new type of white powder?"

"How to say it, that thing is not called white fire powder, nor is it white powder, and you don't understand it. But it's powerful, but it's not safe.

The Xianjun army has always used it, but for safety reasons, a small amount of black powder is mixed into it. This time for the siege of the city, I had to transfer some from the country to break the city, I didn't expect Brother Gongliang to be so well-informed, and soon after the Juxia Outer Pass was broken, your news was sent over. ”

"So, this kind of white powder can also be made?"

Gongliangxiu asked, and Bai Liyan knew very well what he was thinking.

"It can be made, but it is not like it is prepared with black powder, and other means of change are needed to make it work. Therefore, Gongliang Xiu does not have to take painstaking steps to get some of it, and go back to figure it out for himself. This thing is very dangerous, and it will explode if you are not careful, and it is extremely powerful. Brother Gongliang should dispel this idea as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Gongliang Xiu was slightly depressed, and he said:

"This is the more powerful firearm that Yongxing Hou said?"

"Not exactly, but in the future, there will be more powerful powders, and artillery will be more powerful. So for you and me to plan for the long term, can you think about the matter of the city? ”

"My father hasn't replied yet, so I don't know what the result is. And even if my father wants to, my king may not agree. ”

"With the eleventh city plus glutinous incense and Beique two grain-producing areas in exchange for Zhaocheng and Xingcheng, isn't King Zhi still satisfied?"

"Unless the Xianjun can block the strength of the Wei Guo, the eldest grandson, and the Jin State, the king will not only not agree, but may also become an excuse, so the Marquis of Yongxing should think twice."

"Speaking of which, King Zhi is still too ambitious, according to Benhou, King Zhi will be planted on greed sooner or later. Let's go, Ben Shuai put a tea set on the shore, how about you and I enjoy the tea together? ”

"It's okay, Yongxing Hou, please."

People live in the world, in the face of the bright world of flowers, the most invincible in life is **, the last few generations of Zhiwang, all of them are higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper.

Zhiguo is adjacent to the Jin State in the east, and there are Sun and Xu in the west, which can be described as a strong enemy surrounded by dangers, even if it is the Xian State, it is also very belligerent, not easy to provoke, the geopolitical environment is very bad, if you want to be the king and hegemon, you must be a strategic master like Gongliang to deal with it.

Now that Sun Guo is finished, Xu Guo is defeated, and all the obstacles to Zhiguo's westward development have been cleared.

However, reality has its inevitable objective laws, and external conditions will not remain unchanged due to human will, and Zhiwang's wishful thinking to determine the changes in external factors by human will is obviously unrealistic and impossible.

The two came to the Biqing River, Baili Yanping retreated, only the two of them sat opposite each other, the prepared tea was put aside for a while, the water temperature was just right, Baili Yan poured it for Gongliang Xiu, and invited him to drink.

Gongliang repaired a cup of mouth, and suddenly felt relaxed and happy, as if the elixir jade dew infiltrated the heart and spleen, and the mood was also very good, and the eyes were far away, and the autumn scene once again evoked many past events.

"This tea is sweet and rich, the fragrance is long, there is a strong tea fragrance, and it does not lose the elegant charm, it is the best in the tea. I don't want to Xianguo to be able to produce this excellent tea, it's really rare. ”

Gongliangxiu has a high evaluation, and Bai Liyan agrees very much, he said:

"Although Xianguo produces a large amount of tea, but the real best tea is not as plump as Zhiguo tea, this tea is also the master of the Ligong faction when he was looking for minerals when he accidentally discovered, and then I used it, vigorously cultivated, and now it is also the tribute tea in the palace, the quantity is scarce, it is not easy.

I remember that back then, I also discussed the past and the present with my brother Gongliang in the lake, but I drank white water at that time, and now I taste this tea, although it has charm, but it is a pity to lose a little bit of the youthful atmosphere of the year. ”

"Water has the way of water, tea has tea artistic conception, if there is no white water talk back then, how can we make meritorious deeds today, it can be seen that white talk is not empty words."

"Brother Gongliang is right." Bai Liyan affirmed, and then said: "What does Brother Gongliang think of the current situation? ”

"The chaos has been dispersed, the troubled times have just begun, the country is being defended, the eldest grandson is weak, the Xu country is withering, our country's independence is difficult to support, the Jin country is ready to move, the ambition of the Son of Heaven is still there, you Xianguo is now born out of thin air, the situation of the countries competing for power is taking shape, the trend of great unification is gradually taking shape, and the world is under one surname, I am afraid it will be within a few decades."

"How can Brother Gongliang see that within a few decades, the world will be one surname?"

"Since ancient times, all three conditions have been met, one is geographical, two are powerful, and three days. The destruction of the Sun State opened up the east and west, so that the east and west soldiers were no longer bound. Weiguo has been entrenched in the West Sea for hundreds of years, with a wide land and many people, and the national strength is thriving. However......"

Gongliang Xiu wanted to speak and stopped, and Bailiyan asked him:

"But what?"

Gongliangxiu looked at Bai Liyan and said in confusion:

"Doesn't the Marquis of Yongxing feel that the national body of the country is too weak?"

"Brother Gongliang is talking about the old slave system inherited by the country?"

"It is precisely that although the country is big and there are many people, its national body is stubbornly ill. Compared with the Central Plains, the country is very barbaric, as if it is an uncivilized land, and it is even worse than the Xian country. If it advances eastward and continues to follow the old system of the country, the human potential will be gone. If there is no human potential, the people will be opposed, so the geographical advantage is not there, the human power and the geographical advantage are nothing, and no matter how good the time is, what is the use. ”

"What does the good brother think the lord of the world will be?"

"Hehe......" Gongliangxiu smiled lightly: "You Xianguo has no ambition to dominate the world?" ”

Bai Liyan shook her head, picked up the teacup and put it down:

"Nope."

"Really?"

Gongliangxiu asked, and Bai Liyan affirmed:

"No, at least in the lifetime of this handsome, there is absolutely no such possibility. And a hundred years after this handsome, it is not yet known where the Xianguo will go, and how it can dominate the world. ”

"But you have iron in the country, you have new firearms, and even more powerful gunpowder powder, and in five years, the tiger will occupy the North Sea, is it not enough to calm the world?"

"No, Brother Gongliang thought simply." I want to chat about "Empire Travel" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
