"General! Another batch of natives was discovered. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

A soldier of the Qin army on horseback flew off his horse and hugged his fist at Jia Han.

"How many are there?"

"General, there are about 300 natives in that group."

"Let the natives pack up their things and send them to the big camp in the rear to take care of them." Jia Han pondered for a moment and then said, "If anyone resists, it will be killed." ”

"Whoa!"

The scout was ordered to mount his horse and give the order.

Jia Han watched the scout leave, turned back to the guards beside him and asked, "Is there any news from the Xuanniao Army under the command of General Black Iron?" ”

Since landing in mid-October, Jia Han and the others have been on the Dongying Islands for more than a month. After resting at the landing site for three days, more than 2,000 Xuanniao troops left the camp and scattered into various parts of the island to investigate the situation, while the fleet that stayed on the sea also sent their ships to travel along the coastline in two directions.

It took less than 20 days for the Xuanniao Army to get a thorough understanding of the general situation in various parts of Honshu Island and draw a relatively accurate map. Jia Han compared the sketches drawn by Hu Hai and already understood that he had arrived at the Dongying Islands mentioned by the emperor.

The rest of the matter was much simpler, the army marched from the landing site by land and sea, crossed the narrow strait of Kyushu Island and Honshu Island to officially enter Honshu Island, and after entering Honshu Island, Jia Han chose an open area near the sea and began to officially build Daqin's first settlement in the Dongying Islands. Of course, there are also simple port facilities.

Not enough people? Don't worry at all. In the process of exploring, the Xuanniao Army discovered a large number of Dongying natives scattered all over the island, and these natives still lived a primitive life of drinking blood. But it has already begun to change to a life of farming and weaving.

On the island of Honshu, it was because the army was about to leave and could not take so many people with it. Therefore, Jia Han did not come into contact with those natives, but now that he has reached the main island of the Dongying Islands, this problem is naturally no longer a problem.

Marked by the Xuanniao Army, as long as the Teng Snake Army stops by to find it, there will inevitably be a village inhabited by the indigenous people of Dongying. These people are free labor. Every time they catch the natives who live together, there will always be resistance, and after the snake army kills a few people, those natives will immediately become honest. And it's extremely honest. Let him do whatever he wants.

If Hu Hai knew it naturally, this was the inferior nature that was deeply rooted in the bones of that despicable nation. Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard and full of servility.

"Back to the general's words, there has been no news from the Xuanniao Army since yesterday night until now." The guards beside him hesitated.

"No news yet?" Jia Han frowned when he heard the words of the guard. "What about General Black Iron?"

"General Black Iron has also gone ahead to explore the way."

"What about General Cang?"

"Well, General Cang and the more than 2,000 soldiers under General Cang are in the fleet. Hey, General General, look, that's General Cang's people. The guard, who was speaking, suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted.

At this time, there was a sudden burst of cheers on the sea.

Jia Han didn't look at it, he knew that it was a fleet marching along the coastline. It's just that why are they all so excited? Looking in the direction of the guard's finger, Jia Han was momentarily stunned.

I saw a round black dot slowly floating over the fleet.

Seeing this, Jia Han hurriedly raised the telescope in his hand. Jia Han could clearly see a square bamboo basket hanging under the ball, and there was a windmill-like play on each side of the bamboo basket, and through the telescope he could see two small black shadows inside the bamboo basket.

The orb Jahan was no stranger to it, and since before they landed, these sturdy objects were the greatest pleasure for them to sail in the seas. Because every few days, the goshawk would use a thick hemp rope to release the ball hanging from the bamboo basket into the air, and then watch the ball fall freely into the sea. The goshawk is salvaged, then dried and released into the air, and then falls. And so on and so forth.

The whole fleet went from novelty and surprise at the beginning to numbness at the end.

Jia Han knew that the goshawk called the round ball a hot air balloon, and they flew the hot air balloon every day as an experiment. How can experiments take people into the air.

When I first heard that. Although Jia Han didn't say anything, he didn't believe it in his heart. The little ball was still made of cloth. How can you take people into the air?

It's just that Jia Han never thought that at this time today, he would actually see a person in a hot air balloon made of a cloth he didn't know, and a person could really fly into the air.

Through the telescope, Jia Han could clearly see that the two black shadows on it were the soldiers under the command of the goshawk.

But Jia Han immediately thought of a more terrifying problem, that is, dozens or hundreds of previous experiments have proved that the hot air balloon in the goshawk's hand has a great hidden danger, that is, it may fall in free fall at any time.

Every time it falls, the bamboo basket under the balloon will be smashed on the surface of the sea, so if a person falls, the probability of surviving seems to be equal to zero. And this time there was no rope under the hot air balloon either.

This is an experiment with life!

To Jia Han's surprise, the hot air balloon first stayed in mid-air for a while, and then Jia Han saw the hot air balloon slowly drifting towards the land where he was.

The windmill on the west side of the bamboo basket hanging under the balloon was spinning rapidly.

Hot air balloons move slowly as they seem, but they are actually fast. It didn't take long for him to reach the sky above Jia Han's head. The soldiers of the Teng Snake Army, who were walking on the coast, saw the balloons slowly floating over their heads, and erupted into a tsunami-like cheer.

Everyone understood at this time, it turned out that Goshawk and the others were not idle at all.

After staying in the sky above the heads of Jia Han and others for a while, the hot air balloon began to float along the coastline towards the north. At the same time, on a giant ship on the surface of the sea, another hot air balloon is slowly rising into the air. On the bamboo basket under this hot air balloon, there are also two soldiers.

The goshawks and the Mo craftsmen who were so thin that they almost became humanoid skeletons looked at the hot air balloon that slowly rose into the air, and they were a little stupid for a while, and big tears slipped silently from their eyes.

In the winter of the third year of the Second Emperor, over the Dongying Islands, thousands of miles away from the empire's mainland, four soldiers under the command of Goshawk slowly left the land and rose into the air in the first generation of Great Qin's hot air balloons.

Only tens of thousands of Great Qin soldiers who left their homeland were lucky enough to see this scene, and no one could see this scene except them. It's just that now these soldiers of Great Qin don't know what this day means to Great Qin; I didn't know that the launch of these two hot air balloons had condensed the blood of more than hundreds of Great Qin warriors behind it.

This winter of the third year of the Second Dynasty is destined to go down in the annals of Great Qin.
