Liu Guozheng is already the deputy general of the second rank of the Ming Dynasty, and he refuses to leave the position of the captain of the personal soldiers, the Huang family's unclear rank.

He was nervous when he learned that his family was going to the periphery of Jinzhou, where the Houjin army claimed to be 300,000 soldiers and civilians!

He urgently contacted Gu Shanhe, and he bravely arranged the five thousand generals layer after layer, and built five lines of defense to block the attack.

Liu Guozheng, with the consent of the head of his family, had already begun to select soldiers from the pro-soldier corps, and in May issued a letter to the whole army, ordering supervisors at all levels to select and send outstanding young soldiers.

It is required that the fighters who are candidates for election have outstanding combat skills and a clean family background, and it is best to be a soldier of the Huang family system.

The last batch of pro-soldier teams were all promoted and released to become pacification officers and military commanders, and the military and civilians of the Huang family system knew that the team with the head of the family and personally educated by his side would be more likely to be promoted, and the news of the recruitment of the pro-soldier team was conveyed in place, and everyone rushed to sign up.

Military commanders at all levels are also happy to see that the good soldiers they recommend become pro-soldiers, and having their own people around the head of the family will always be conducive to their own development.

Most of the people are selfish, and the chief officers at all levels are gracious to the soldiers under their command at this time, in case these soldiers become the soldiers of the head of the family after two years of training, they may not be able to soar to 90,000 miles!

Today's Liu Guozheng has a full 960 soldiers of the pro-soldier team, and their starting point is even a small commander, at least they are all small flag officers, and everyone has at least graduated from primary school, most of them have completed high school studies, and a small number of middle school graduates.

The pro-soldier team is organized into eight hundred, each hundred has a total of 120 people, and the pro-soldier team guards the side of the family master in four shifts every day, and it is absolutely able to do even if the family owner coughs in the middle of the night, there will be a pro-soldier soldier to respond.

This was the first large-scale military operation after the formation of the new pro-soldier team, Liu Guozheng sent all of them out to defend the perimeter, and issued a death order, if the Jiannu cavalry raid was discovered, each first engagement point must fight to the death for an hour before retreating to the next line of defense.

Most of the veterans of the pro-soldier team are martial artists, they have followed the family master to fight in the south and north for two or three years, and the combat skills and loyalty are impeccable, and the newly recruited more than 700 pro-soldiers are all children and young soldiers, and their fanaticism for the family master is incomparable, and their loyalty is even more problematic.

The soldiers of the pro-soldier team knew that the master of the family was behind them, and everyone said that even if the ammunition was exhausted, we would rush up and hold the legs of the Jiannu horses to slow down their assault.

Huang Sheng learned of these situations and gathered everyone to give a lecture, looking at the young soldiers with firm faces, Huang Sheng warned everyone:

"We are comrades-in-arms who love each other, and we are robes who trust each other, and although Ben Jue is the Duke of Nanguo, he is also a glorious warrior.

The Jiannu cavalry raided, and the Huang family and horses had not seen it, so why not kill them one by one calmly? Our musketeers block layer by layer, alternately cover and retreat while fighting, and you can't make it because Ben Jue is here to make you shrink back, how to teach Jiannu to follow the steps. ”

The warriors of the Huang family were all proud beings, and they said in unison: "My lord, we will never be defeated by any enemy, and you will not encounter danger, because we are all united, and no enemy can cross our defenses. ”

At this moment, Huang Sheng really burst into tears, these warriors are about to become the masters of this world, and they must make good use of them, and they can't let them exchange their lives with those ignorant Tunguska savages, it's too worthless.

The six pilots are all teenagers who have studied in the Huangjia School for more than six years, and they have mastered real knowledge, and their insight and practical ability are probably much stronger than those of the Ming Dynasty.

Pilots are the first in natural politics, they are all the children of the Huang family, Xie Guicheng and Pang Lian are the first batch of slender sons to be taken in, and their elder brothers are now all officers above the rank of 100 generals.

Zhang Xianxing and Gu Changqing's fathers were the first batch of thirty-six sailors and gunners who joined Huang Sheng, except for two of their soldiers who died, five of whom retired due to injury and illness and transferred to civil affairs, and the others were at least captains, and most of them became pipe bands.

The flight captain is called Sun Jiuge, he is the second son of Fu Sun Jiwang, a weaving factory master from Jiangnan, Sun Jiuge has been enlightened for three years when he came to the Huang family, and he was looked down upon by Zhao Shimin because of his intelligence and studiousness.

When Sun Jiuge was developing the hot air balloon, he burst out with infinite enthusiasm, and his kind of enthusiasm from the bottom of his heart caused him to study hard, and now all the test flight plans are formulated by him.

The deputy captain is called Cheng Shiju is a down-to-earth teenager, his father died on Juehua Island, he and his mother, brother, and sister were taken to Huangjiashan Island to survive, and his elder brother used to be apprenticed with shipbuilder Fu Chen Satisfaction, and now he is one of the outstanding ship designers of the Huang family.

The six teenagers who were about to fly marched in line with their heads held high and walked in front of the head of the family to stand and salute, and Huang Sheng also saluted with a military salute.

Captain Sun Jiuge said loudly: "Report to my lord, please instruct the pilot team after the combination is completed." ”

Huang Sheng looked at a few intellectuals of the Huang family who were not yet twenty years old, and said very seriously: "You all have dozens of hours of experience in lift-off, can you ensure the success of today's lift-off flight?" You should not have psychological concerns, you must not be reluctant, remember that you are engaged in scientific research, and you must not be blinded by distracting thoughts and have a keen judgment. ”

Sun Jiu Ge said: "Lord Qiyu, the lift-off flight under such climatic conditions can already ensure that nothing goes wrong, but whether it lands accurately in Jinzhou City depends on luck.

If we miss the landing site, we also have a plan, cross Jinzhou and drift to the sea, Captain Wang Zhaoxiang, who is in charge of ground support of our team, has already contacted the navy for timely search and rescue. ”

Although a hot air balloon is also called an aircraft, it cannot fly freely like an airplane. The pilot can only maneuver the balloon to change altitude, so if it is absolutely windless, the balloon can only float up and down.

But the atmosphere is in constant motion. On windy days that people can clearly feel, there will be differences in wind speed and direction between high and low altitudes.

Near the ground, depending on the terrain and buildings, the wind direction will change, and the wind speed will also decrease significantly.

In the weather where there is no wind, the local vertical air convection will also affect the air movement in different directions near the surface, often in the morning or evening from the ground to the air, and there may be obvious changes in wind direction every few meters or more than ten meters.

Some even have the opposite direction of the wind, and the balloon pilot changes the direction of the balloon according to this phenomenon in the atmosphere.

The pilot experiences the different directions of each altitude layer through the relative movement of the balloon and the ground in the air, and then controls the balloon to rise or fall to the height of the wind direction he needs, and keeps flying in this wind layer to achieve the purpose of flying to a certain target.
