Chapter 92: Take You Pretending to Fly with You
After the fiasco at Wangjiangmen, the Qing army immediately launched a full-front attack at Qingtai, Qingchun, Genshan, and Wulin Four Gates, but the result was, of course, a fiasco. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
In just two days, Sabusu used a full 20,000 corpses of the Qing army to once again prove that a city defended by the Ming army was simply impossible to break, Yinren and Changning's hundreds of thousands of troops were destroyed in Zhenhai, Zhang Yuanyi's 40,000 troops were destroyed in Cixi, and his 100,000 troops were still bleeding in Hangzhou. The dense flowering bullets on the city wall, the rifle bullets like a storm, the defensive grenades and incendiary pings that fell like hailstones, and the barbed wire fence that made people grit their teeth with hatred, coupled with the ancient city wall that spanned thousands of years, rippled for centuries, together turned Hangzhou into an iron fortress.
To attack is to die.
Not only Hangzhou, but the battle situation on the other two battlefields is no different from here.
Especially in Fenghua.
This small city, which was famous because of a certain person in later generations, was not even a fortress in this era, but was just an ordinary small county town, and in fact, the total population was a remote town in later generations.
It is precisely because of this that the attacking Lu Chongyao and Yin Huaxing did not take it seriously at all, they surrounded the four gates with an army of 30,000, and wanted to open this small city with a thunderous force, but the number one elite second brigade of the Ming army guarding here allowed them to set a record, a terrifying record, in just two hours, 10,000 Qing troops were shot within a width of 150 zhang under the city wall.
Yin Huaxing, who was angry and in pain, wiped his neck on the spot.
Fortunately, his own soldiers grabbed it quickly, and the Kangxi Imperial Treasure Knife only made a cut in his neck.
On the contrary, Yue Shenglong, who attacked Xikou, because he had an outstanding son, and Zhao Hongcan, who attacked Xiaoshan and Shaoxing, because he had too many failures under the Ming army and was experienced, the losses of the two armies were not too great.
Yue Zhongqi, who went out with his father, after the last battle of Xikou, was very sober to understand that there was no difference between taking the initiative to attack the fortress of the Ming army and committing suicide, and the current Qing army was a great success if it was able to keep its fortress under the attack of the Ming army, so under his persuasion, Yue Shenglong did not attack, but made every effort to build a fortress east of Xikou and the Three Realms to ensure the safety of Shengzhou, which he was mainly responsible for.
And Zhao Hongcan is simpler, he didn't go forward at all after he ran to Zhuji.
In this way, this largest battle of the Qing army since the pacification of the three feudatories, after only two days of short, fierce and bloody battles, Ga suddenly stopped, whether it was Sabu Su, who was pinned on all the hopes by Kang Mazi, or Yin Huaxing, who carried the coffin to express his determination before leaving, and Zhao Hongcan, who was threatened to be punished for several crimes if he failed again, and Yue Shenglong, who had just been promoted to a third-class viscount, all the generals changed their attacks to be trapped, and then said that the thieves were very sharp, and they could be broken overnight, and they needed to wait for their difficulties to be broken later.
Of course, that's.
"It's a joke to trap us!"
Yang Feng was boating on the West Lake, hugging Huang Wei and eating the lotus seeds that Xiaorou brought to his mouth, just like the star master's version of Dongfang Undefeated.
This is indeed a joke, it's just that the Qing army is looking good, there is the Qiantang River behind Hangzhou, the Fenghua River behind Fenghua, the Yanjiang River behind Xikou, and the Puyang River behind several other fortresses, Cao'e River and other water transportation guarantees, there is no possibility of being trapped, and as long as this circle of fortresses is in, then the entire Ningshao Plain is safe, and this land is also fully able to support his army to fight.
It's even more than enough.
"Okay, I know you're amazing."
Huang Wei gave him a blank look and said.
"I have another side that is also very powerful, do you want to try it?"
Yang Feng said seriously.
Huang Wei, who had long been accustomed to being played by him, slapped him with a red face, of course she knew what this guy was talking about, but she was not one of the messy women around Yang Feng, as the handsome lady who was married to Ming Media and the great-granddaughter of the Confucian Huang Zongxi, she must abide by etiquette, although she is not as changeable as those rotten Confucian families, but it is absolutely not okay to roll in bed before marriage.
At this time, a group of Qing cavalry appeared on the shore of the lake in the distance, silently watching Yang Feng's painting boat.
There are often such Qing army scouts on the north bank of the West Lake, north of the Gongchen Bridge at the end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is responsible for attacking the Qing army camp of Wulin Gate, nearly 20,000 troops under the Jingkou general Ma Sanqi are stationed, although after losing more than 5,000 people, they no longer dare to take the initiative to attack, but these scouts still often run to this area activities, anyway, the Ming army does not go out of the city, they can move at will.
"Bring Ben Shuai's gun!"
Yang Fengyi stretched out his hand and said.
Xiao Rou, who has been in charge of his personal belongings, hurriedly went to the cabin to pick up a rifle that was shorter than her height, and then handed it to Yang Feng, one of the projects that Yang Feng accompanied them to swim in the lake today was hunting, so the gun must be carried, this is actually a sniper rifle produced by the Ming army, and even the scope is there, but it is still some important parts made by Lin Qian.
In fact, it is still Enfield, but the barrel and bullet are dedicated, which can ensure extremely high accuracy at a distance of 500 meters.
Yang Feng took the rifle, stood up in a look of admiration, raised the rifle in a very standard standing posture, aimed at the Qing army on the shore with a very stylish posture, and then pulled the trigger, with a crisp gunshot, in the fire of the black powder spray, a fourteen mm lead bullet suddenly flew out, and he saw the body of a Qing army with the appearance of an officer on the opposite side and immediately fell off the horse.
Yang Feng immediately cheered softly.
He then threw the gun to the standing guard, who handed him another rifle at the same time, and then reloaded the empty rifle, while Yang Feng quickly aimed at the next target, and knocked another Qing soldier off his horse amid the cheers of the beautiful women in the back.
"Dashuai is so interested!"
Yang Feng was shooting there coolly, and a small boat rowed next to him, and an old man on the boat said with a smile.
"Would you like to give it a try?"
Yang Feng put down the gun and said to him with a smile.
This person is Yan Yuan, a scholar of the retro school in the early Qing Dynasty, who is as famous as Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, Wang Fuzhi, and Fu Qingzhu in history, but it is not an ideological system, he despises the science of science and reveres the ancient Confucianism of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and even advocates the restoration of the more ancient Juntian system, and probably regards Yang Feng's behavior of grabbing the land of large landlords and renting them to the poor as his idealized society, so he came with his disciple Li Yan.
Now Li Yuan has been appointed as the director of the Education Bureau of the Dashuai Mansion to be responsible for compulsory education, and Yan Yuan is old, and he receives a consultant's salary and does whatever he likes.
Yan Yuan took the gun with a smile, he is not one of those sour talents who have no power to restrain the chicken, this old man is also a martial artist, even if he is almost seventy, he will guarantee that there is no problem with Yang Dashuai, who has no plug-in, but it is not good to play with the gun, after pulling the trigger, a bullet directly does not know where to fly, wasting the opportunity to kill a Qing soldier in vain, and was almost put down by recoil.
However, after the fight, he did not return the gun to Yang Feng, but took it in his hand and watched it carefully.
"Da Shuai, please forgive the old man for being presumptuous, Da Shuai, as a disciple of an immortal, has learned a lot of magic, why do you pay attention to this machine and advocate the science you are talking about?"
He asked, somewhat curious.
"It's very simple, spells are not for everyone to learn, that must be talented enough, just ask how many tens of thousands of people have been born since ancient times, and how many immortals have you heard of since ancient times? It would be good to have one out of millions of people who can learn spells, but this science can be learned by everyone, not to mention that this science has developed to the extreme, and it is not inferior to spells at all, even if many immortals can do the same science. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Can science do what only immortals can do?"
"Isn't the scope in front of you called clairvoyance? It's just the most rudimentary thing, and I'll make you a big one another day, and you can even see what's on the moon. ”
"What's on the moon?"
"Nothing, just a bare stone, and its light is only from the sun."
"But didn't the moon say that there is Chang'e?"
"Well, that's a myth."
"What is a myth?"
"To be precise, mythology is the deeds of immortals who have been passed down from generation to generation and have been transformed, just like a handsome and handsome man like me, who will also be rumored to be a monster with a blue face and fangs thousands of miles away, when the deeds of immortals in the world have been passed down for thousands of years, some of the contents of the void, some of the characters, in short, all kinds of nonsense things are added, and they gradually become myths, most of which are actually fake, people themselves make up their own fiction, but some of them are indeed true, For example, Nuwa Niangniang does have it, but she really doesn't have a snake tail. ”
"What is that immortal?"
"To be precise, it is the people who have some extraordinary talents in the human race who have finally ascended to the immortal realm through cultivation."
"What is the fairy world?"
"Another world, a world completely different from here."
"Why did the immortals go there?"
"Eternal life."
"Can't you stay in the world?"
"No, the world will be born, old, sick and die, and only the fairy world can live forever."
"So you're a Taoist?"
"No, I'm not a family, immortals don't have any concept of home, that's just the division of some mortals, Lao Tzu is an immortal, but he never said that he was a Taoist, that's just a mortal based on some of his own things. And later embarked on a road that has nothing to do with Lao Tzu, just like alchemy and painting talismans have nothing to do with Lao Tzu, if he comes down and sees it, he will be angry, but if you really want to say it, Taoism is indeed the closest to the immortals, as for those other messy religions are nonsense. ”
"What about Confucianism?"
"Confucianism is not cultivating immortals, Confucianism is something that belongs to mortals, and other Mohists and the like are also, this is just a mortal idea of governing the country, it is a doctrine, and it has nothing to do with immortals."
"And what science are you talking about?"
"Science is also mortal, but it is something that can make mortals get as close to immortals as possible, of course, it is only close, it can never reach the realm of immortals, it can allow mortals to reduce diseases and prolong their lives, such as those drugs I use in the hospital, such as the treatment prescriptions that you also understand, these are within the scope of science, but it can never make mortals immortal like immortals, it can also make people fly in the sky like immortals, and even fly to the moon, But it will never be able to shatter people like immortals, and this void will soar to the immortal realm......"
"You say people can fly into the sky?"
"Of course, do you want to experience it?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Well, he remembered that he should make a hot air balloon to play, this kind of thing is not high-tech, sew a big bag with silk, he has silk here, and Hangzhou Weaving Mansion specializes in this.
Immediately after the screams of a group of beauties, Yang Dashuai took them and Yan Yuan back to Hangzhou, and then found a bunch of craftsmen from the original weaving house as quickly as possible, and now there is no weaving house, but Yang Dashuai newly established a silk factory to specialize in exporting products, and the treatment of these craftsmen soared.
The same people are also full of gratitude to Dashuai, and now that they have heard that Dashuai wants to do something, of course they must do their best to help.
Under the continuous efforts of these craftsmen, the huge air bag of silk was quickly made, covered by a net made of ropes, and the bottom of the net was decorated with ropes, and then a large square frame made of bamboo, which could accommodate seven or eight people, was also braided. As for the things that burn the fire underneath, this one is even simpler, just make an iron stove, filled with kerosene, and now this thing has begun to be sold as lamp oil in the Yangfeng ruling area, but because of the difficulty of crude oil collection, the price of crude oil sold by the Dutch is higher, so it is still not cheap.
But it's still cheaper than soybean oil.
The Dutch are working on oil extraction technology, preparing to drill wells in North Sumatra, and have bought some equipment from Yangfeng, and once they do extract the crude oil, then the price will definitely fall sharply as production skyrockets.
All this was completed in twenty-four hours, and by the afternoon of the next day, Yang Feng's hot air balloon had been completed, and then he lit the kerosene stove, and as the hot air of the furnace fire rose, the originally shriveled hot air balloon gradually bulged up in the eyes of tens of thousands of people, and soon this behemoth more than ten zhang high stood on the ground, and then began to rise upward, and the hanging basket hanging below slowly left the ground.
"This, this can really fly?"
Yan Yuan touched the rope under the hanging basket, and when he tried the tightness, he knew how powerful this thing was pulling upward, and this power could fully bear the weight of several people.
Yang Feng snorted arrogantly, picked up Huang Wei, put it into the hanging basket amid her red-faced exclamation, and then picked up Xiao Rou and put it in, and then he climbed in himself.
"Untie the rope!"
He stood inside with one hand and one to the right, and said to the soldiers outside.
The latter hurriedly untied the fixed rope, and in a scream, Yang Dashuai hugged his fiancée and the concubine, and rose up slowly.
(Today's chapter, tomorrow's too, and tomorrow's chapter is in the evening, I'm going to go out soon, and I'll be back tomorrow afternoon, sorry!) )
