Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, because it is located on the northern plain, as long as the fortresses in front of it are broken, such as Shanhaiguan and Bauhinia Pass, it is a situation of unsheltered and unobstructed. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the Beijing Division, at this time when the Yongle Emperor set the capital, he laid out sufficient and elite military horses for the Beijing battalion, that is, the three major battalions that have always been familiar to people.

The three major battalions, Shenji, the Five Armies and the Three Thousand are also. These three battalions have their own emphasis, the Shenji battalion is good at using firearms, the five military battalions are good at fighting the way of defense, and although the three thousand battalions are the least in terms of strength, even if they are less than 10,000 at their peak, they are the most elite and good at fighting, because they are all cavalry.

In addition to the accurate judgment and command of him and his generals, the elite of more than 100,000 Beijing camps also played a key role in it. In particular, Shenji and the 3,000 two battalions, the former used firearms to break the Mongolian cavalry formation several times, and the latter was able to use cavalry against cavalry, and confronted the Mongolian people on horseback without falling behind. In addition, there are Duoyan Sanwei who are traitors to help send troops together, so there can be peace in the border land for decades.

But now, time has passed, and even the situation in the army in Beijing has undergone some changes. Although the problems are not as serious as elsewhere, the combat strength of the three battalions has also decreased considerably. It's just that all this is covered up by today's prosperous world, and no one dares to reveal the most real and cruel side.

However, the spirit of today's soldiers in Beijing is extremely vibrant, looking at the banner rolling, people like fierce tigers and horses like swimming dragons, swords and guns flashing, killing sound shocking the sky, there is a great momentum to swallow the universe, how can there be a little weak appearance. The army in Beijing showed such a spiritual side, of course, thanks to the sudden arrival of the Son of Heaven, after all, his biggest boss and backer arrived, and he was the laziest person on weekdays, and he had to pretend to be full of energy at the moment.

Standing on the platform and seeing the tens of thousands of military horses below constantly roaming and rushing, Zhu Qizhen's face was flushed with excitement again: "This is the elite of my subordinates!" One day, I will lead them out into the desert and expel all the Tartars who have invaded the border of our Ming Dynasty, so as to live up to the world and our ancestors! ”

When a complete set of military exercises was completed, all the troops stood under the stage of the generals, and when they shouted long live, Zhu Qizhen was even more enthusiastic, choked and pulled out the long sword he carried with him, pointed to the end of the north with the tip of the sword, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, my Ming Dynasty will one day restore the glory of Taizong, are you willing to kill the enemy with me and make meritorious contributions?" ”

"The ministers are willing to die for His Majesty, and they will die without complaint!" The generals in front agreed in unison. Then the sergeants behind also roared with all their strength: "The ministers are willing to die for Your Majesty!" The roar soared into the sky, shaking the birds that flew by.

Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen's face became even more ruddy, and he shouted loudly: "Okay, I promise you, this day will not be too far away!" Come on, reward! ”

Seeing the Son of Heaven and the soldiers talking and behaving like this, the important ministers of the court who followed him were worried, which is not a good sign. Especially Hu Hui, he regretted that he had led the Son of Heaven here, but he didn't expect him to come to such a hand, but it was not easy to stop his idea of using troops on the grassland.

Yang Pu glanced at his old friend and smiled: "Now you know that things are difficult, right?" Don't hurry up and get to the point, otherwise I won't save you if you are impeached by someone at that time. ”

Hu Hu smiled bitterly when he heard this, found a gap, and then stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, since you have already seen the military exercise, should you take a look at the airship?" ”

"To the airship!" Only then did Zhu Qizhen come back to his senses from his excitement, and he nodded hurriedly: "If this thing really has such a miraculous effect, it will be too helpful to me Daming." Qian Gang, is this airship in your Shenji Camp? ”

Qian Gang, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, responded with a fist and replied: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry did send a strange thing called an airship to the camp before, and the minister only used it a little, and he has not really let it fly into the sky. Because if this thing really goes to heaven, it will be shocking to the world, and the minister is worried that it will cause unease among the people in the capital. ”

"Hey, since it is a sharp weapon in the army, how can you hide it and not use it? I said, you take it out and let me see how it goes to heaven. The emperor said with a wave of his hand.

Since the Son of Heaven had made an order, Qian Gang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly whispered a few words to his subordinates. The man hurriedly confessed and retreated, and then there was a commotion in the Shenji Battalion barracks located on the side of the school grounds.

In less than half an hour, a large cart loaded with a soft collapse came over. At this time, not only the Son of Heaven, but also the officials who came with him, even the soldiers of the three major battalions, also stretched their necks one by one to look at this thing, trying to see what it was.

Although the conversation between Hu Hu and the emperor just now was only heard clearly by some people in front, it was quickly passed on. Now, tens of thousands of soldiers in the school field already know that there is such a thing that can go to heaven, so naturally they are all curious and want to see its true face.

But after seeing this soft thing in the car, everyone's faces showed doubts and disbelief. They just couldn't associate this thing with something as magical as flying into the sky. Some officials even sneered disdainfully, thinking that it was really a fool's dream to rely on such a thing to go to heaven.

It was Zhu Qizhen, who seemed very patient at this time, and after glancing at the thing, he said, "What is this made of?" Mr. Hu, do you know? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard that this airship is sewn from cow and sheepskin, and there is a bamboo basket underneath. Don't look at it as inconspicuous, you'll see its magic in a moment. As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Wei from the Ministry of Works, who was busy and motioned for his yamen to step forward.

Soon, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Engineering and several military craftsmen from the Shenji Battalion came to the car and began to get busy. With the efforts of more than ten people, the things on the car were moved down one by one, and people found out that the soft and collapsed thing was really some nitrated leather, and there seemed to be something painted on it, but because the leather was undulating, so it was impossible to see what it was. In addition, there is a rope attached to the leather, which hooks a large bamboo basket, but I don't know what its use is.

After arranging everything, the craftsmen called dozens of sergeants from the Shenji Battalion to come forward and completely open the leather, and then one of them took out the fire fold that he had prepared and lit the fuel in the bamboo basket.

With a bang, a few feet high flames suddenly appeared, which made many people startled, and then they were a little puzzled, not knowing which one this was singing.

Soon, however, the answer was revealed. As the flames rose, the heat continued to rise, and began to fill the entire leather, and its huge sphere was completely exposed to everyone's eyes.

This airship was several times larger than Lu Jin's ability in the Guangling camp that day, so the impact it brought to everyone was also more powerful. When the sphere was round and slowly floated upward, the surrounding officials and soldiers all let out bursts of exclamations at the same time.

This is really beyond their expectations and imagination, what kind of mind and strength can create such a wonderful thing?

And the Son of Heaven stared at this rising strange sphere for a moment, and even his breathing became disordered: "This ...... Can it really ascend to heaven? ”

The answer came quickly, and the huge hot air balloon quickly rose to the height of more than a person, lifted by the buoyancy of the air. At this time, the military craftsman, who had already operated it once, entered the bamboo basket along the soft ladder, and after saluting the Son of Heaven, he gave the gesture of loosening the anchor rope below.

As soon as the anchor rope that held the airship loose and dragged it down, the huge balloon floated upwards at a rapid speed. It was only then that everyone saw clearly what was on this sphere, and it was actually a line of words - Daming Wansheng! Long live Your Majesty!

The people who were already surprised by this magical scene couldn't help but exclaim in surprise after seeing this, and immediately, many people shouted: "Daming Wansheng!" Long live Your Majesty! ”

At first, there were dozens of people, then it expanded to hundreds, thousands, and finally, the entire school field began to shout. Daming Wansheng, the voice of His Majesty Long Live sounded like a tsunami in the school field, and it spread to all directions!

Zhu Qizhen's body trembled a little with excitement. Although he is the Son of Heaven and rich all over the world, he has never seen such a magical and exciting scene. Especially the above sentence, it made him feel excited, and he was truly happy.

Seeing the emperor's extraordinary pride as if he had eaten ginseng fruit, and the joy emanating from the pores of his body, Yang Pu unconsciously glanced at Hu Hu: "The words on this are also inscribed by you, right?" ”

"It's not me, it's the idea that Lu Zhen came up with. He said that if this would make the Son of Heaven more happy, he would be more sure. Hu Hui replied softly. Now that the effect has been fully reflected, the expression of the Son of Heaven can not be faked.

"Hey, this son really dares to think and dare to do something." Yang Pu couldn't help but shake his head, he really didn't know how to evaluate it.

When everyone was stunned by the magical scene in front of them, Wang Zhen, who was with the Son of Heaven, gritted his teeth and creaked. Obviously, he knew that this time Lu Zhen would definitely not be able to move.

However, when Zhu Qizhen withdrew his gaze, Wang Zhen's face had already made a look of joy as if he had changed his face: "Your Majesty, there is such a divine object, why can't I step on the grassland desert!" ”

"yes." The emperor nodded thoughtfully, and then remembered something: "Mr. Hu, I forgot to ask you, who made this thing?" Such a good instrument for the country, I must reward him heavily! ”
