The sound of the explosion suddenly sounded, and in the frightened screams of those boatmen and slender men, a white dragon rose into the sky in the center of the river, and the power of the explosion pushed the river to crash fiercely in all directions, and the beaches on both sides were instantly swallowed by the huge waves, and the monstrous white waves even hit the steep rock wall like a tsunami. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Also striking the rock wall was an invisible wave of air.

The force unleashed by a hundred tons of antimony ladders turned the air into angry waves, and the earth and vegetation that had accumulated for thousands of years on the rock wall collapsed as if they had been swept away, and even some of the rocks that were not solid collapsed.

Fortunately, what Yang Feng was worried about did not happen.

Neither the mud nor the rocks fell on the channel in the middle of the river, but the large stone beams that originally stood on the channel also disappeared at the moment of the explosion, only the gravel that rained in the sky proved that it once existed, and these gravels quickly disappeared into the surging river, and some hit the banks like cannonballs. When the angry waves caused by the explosion gradually calmed down, the still turbulent river water and even a few reefs near Dazhu Shiliang disappeared, and the Kongling Beach, which was originally called the Ghost Gate, completely became a lost memory with the explosion of this 100-ton antimony ladder.

"Quick, get a boat up!"

Yang Feng on the airship said.

The herald beside him waved the order flag, and on the downstream river, in the undulating fleet of ships, a paddle steamer immediately sailed out and slowly moved forward along the channel, and carefully sailed to Kongling Beach under the guidance of the guide accompanying the ship.

Yang Feng's airship followed in the sky, and soon arrived at the next stop, Qingtan, in advance.

It is also called Xintan here, it is a shallow beach formed by the collapse of the mountain in the early Ming Dynasty and blocked the channel, it has blocked the water transport of the Yangtze River for 82 years, until the Wanli period because of the river erosion and resumed navigation, but it forms a dark beam under the water, causing the river to form a waterfall with a drop of three meters here, and it is also a bend, if you want to blow up here, at least at present, Yang Feng can't do it, but fortunately it can be solved in another way here.

Soon after the arrival of the downstream fleet, technicians began to install steam engines on the rocks on the shore, installing large mechanical winches using steam power.

Emperor Yang acted as a manpower crane, the work was quickly completed, after some debugging, the first trial paddle steamer immediately hung up the brown cable, the hundred-horsepower steam engine through the transmission shaft and gear system to drive the winch, slowly but firmly tightened the brown cable and dragged the paddle steamer up, soon through the rapids of the green beach, just in the moment of passing the paddle steamer paddle wheel rotated at full speed, leaving this dangerous place at the fastest speed, just like this, Yang Feng's fleet safely passed the second ghost gate.

Then there is the third course.

Floodplain.

The main problem of this dangerous shoal is what Huang Wanli is most worried about.

Pebbles.

A large number of pebbles brought by the river are silted up here into a moraine, occupying 70% of the river, and the huge lily stone on the other side of the river is opposite to the river, and the nearly 100-meter-long pillow in the center of the river forces the water into a whirlpool, this series of dangers on the river surface of more than four miles long together form a shipping throat, and it will take a little time to completely clean up here, so Yang Feng's way is to install a steam-powered winch.

It's just as easy.

After installing the winch, the fleet passed through the beach smoothly, and then, as in Qingtan, a sentry soldier was left to guard the winch, and the slender men who used to make a living by pulling fiber were also organized to learn the use of this thing, and this method had to continue to be used in the future.

Yang Feng's fleet went all the way against the current, although they were all ships, but the water in the canyon was turbulent, the speed of the ship was not fast, and it was more dangerous to sail at night, so it was basically daytime, so one station stood forward, first to Badong, and then to Wushan, until the afternoon of the third day, before finally reaching the last dangerous obstacle......

Kuimen.

Piles of Ripples.

As for this reef, there is no other way, but to choose to blow it up, but you have to be careful when you blow up the pile, both sides are steep cliffs, and the distance is very close, and if you load more explosives, once the power is too much to collapse the mountain rock, it will be troublesome, and this stone is much smaller. Of course, these are just technical problems, after the airship put Emperor Yang on it, the rest is very simple, the super pickaxe quickly dug a deep shaft at the top of the pile, and then the sappers calculated the amount of explosives, and after filling the boxes in a box, all the personnel evacuated to the airship, and the wire with the detonator rose to a height of five hundred meters, and then Yang Feng pressed the detonator.

The heap suddenly turned into countless fragments.

The door is now open.

Immediately after that, a huge fleet sailed to Fengjie.

Fengjie County ordered to hurriedly take the officials and gentry of the county to run out to meet the holy car, which was still under the banner of the Qing Dynasty, but there was no Qing army stationed.

Yang Feng didn't feel too difficult for them.

In fact, at this time, Yinren had already given up the defense along the Yangtze River.

Poor His Majesty Yongzheng only has a total of 5,000 Eight Banner Army, even if you add the Tibetan army, it is only 10,000, and it is still a Mao defense, and at this point, people may not be able to stand in a circle on the city wall of Chengdu, let alone the Three Gorges, even Chongqing doesn't care.

"That slave rebellion is only in Chengdu, Jiading Prefecture, Yazhou has soldiers to defend the palace, the Sichuan people because of the rebellion into Sichuan when the killing is very heavy, so many places to protect themselves, although the slave rebel has Tibetan soldiers to help, but can only control these places, other prefectures and counties are just to pay some money and grain, all parts of eastern Sichuan do not even pay money and grain, that slave rebel has to reclaim the land by himself, it can be said that His Majesty's army will naturally collapse as soon as it arrives."

Fengjie County ordered to lie down in front of Yang Feng and said.

Slave is Yinren, Emperor Yang has already given their family the surname slave, so of course it is also called slave.

"In that case, you have to be careful that he runs away!"

Yang Feng said.

Indeed, this possibility must be taken into account, Yinren should be self-aware, the Ming army entering Sichuan is equal to his end, he cannot have the ability to resist, and it is only a matter of time before he is destroyed, so that escaping is the best choice for the Yongzheng Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, after all, he has the vast Qinghai-Tibet Plateau behind him, and compared with the combat effectiveness of the thousands of Qing troops, it is obvious that the mountains and mountains in this snowy region are more reliable.

"Command the airship, prepare to take off immediately!"

Yang Feng said without hesitation.

His fleet really has to drive from Fengjie to Luzhou for more than half a month, not to mention that he can't drive Luzhou, in fact, he can't even drive Chongqing at all, at most he will reach Wanzhou, because he doesn't have enough coal on his ship, and it is difficult to replenish coal along the way, although burning firewood can also make do, but it would be too much to drive so many warships to sail constantly by burning firewood, so the original plan was to arrive in Wanzhou and stop and land, and then release a group of ships back to Yiling to transport coal, and go down the Yangtze River to Yiling in two days at most, But it will take at least ten days to transport coal from Yiling to Wanzhou.

During this time, the Fourth Army would attack Nanchong.

But this is equivalent to giving Yinren enough time to retreat, so if he wants to block His Majesty Yongzheng on the plain, Yang Feng can only play his old method.

Parachute in an airship and wait for the famous Luding Bridge.

Luding Bridge is in Yazhou, from Sichuan to Tibet can only take the Yak Road, that is, from Yazhou, or Ya'an to the west to take the Luding Bridge across the Dadu River to Kangding, and then from Kangding and then to the west to Qamdo and then to the west of Nagqu, and finally to Lhasa or Shigatse, this is the northern line of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, which is also the only road from Sichuan to Tibet, there is no other way, and the chain bridge on the Dadu River is the most important throat of this road.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Feng took the airship and flew southwest.

The fastest airship flew at full speed of nearly four hundred miles per hour, and soon flew over Wanzhou along the Yangtze River as a landmark, in order to save fuel Yang Feng did not continue to fly along the Yangtze River, but from Wanzhou to the west directly into the Sichuan Basin, according to his plan, he could rely on the city on the ground as coordinates, just rely on the compass and map to guide the flight, anyway, even if it was a little off, it would not be much off, but it didn't take long for him to find that he was too naïve.

"This is Sichuan?"

He leaned on the binoculars next to the member's cabin, looked at the ground, and said in horror.

What he saw in front of him was a wilderness at all, all of which was endless green, but this green was not farmland, it was all dense forests and wild grasses, and there were no people at all, it was not like the land of abundance at all, but it was very similar to the African savannah in the rainy season in the science and education channel.

"There's a county seat there!"

A soldier beside him shouted.

Yang Feng immediately followed the direction of his finger and forgot it, at the end of the field of vision, there was really a city, but the green stars on the city wall made him very dazed, fortunately, he didn't have to be at a loss soon, when the airship flew over the county, he could see that there were clusters of small saplings on the city wall swinging very enchantingly, a fence tied of wood at the city gate was like a poor man's firewood, and among the green ruins of the city, several newly built houses were particularly eye-catching, A hundred and ten frightened civilians were looking at the sky in horror.

Obviously, the situation of this land is far worse than he imagined, and this is still relatively populated in eastern Sichuan, which is like this here, so it is needless to say what the situation is to the west, in fact, it is not strange to think about it, Kang Mazi twenty-four years, that is, less than twenty years ago, the number of Ding in the entire Sichuan is only eighteen thousand and ninety, even if you add women and children, how many more can you have? The reclamation of Sichuan by Huguang is a long historical process, and at this time it is only just the beginning, so it is not surprising that this situation has occurred.

"This is the land of abundance!"

Yang Feng said melancholy.

But at this moment, the propeller behind him, which had been spinning at high speed, suddenly began to slow down, and before he could react, he simply stopped. (To be continued.) )
