Chapter 364: Imperial Air Force
The military attaches who were released were "forced" to stay in Lin'an Mansion, and every day they had to report to the Military Affairs Yuan on time, and then listen to the "propaganda of the new policy" in a concentrated manner. Like Lu Yihao and others who originally had a mansion here, it is better to say that those who have no place to live can only rent private houses, and the court does not care about them, so the voice of resentment is getting louder and louder.
Another thing that they couldn't accept was that the people in charge of preaching were all from the Prince's Mansion, and they were all young, in the eyes of these martial artists, listening to a group of "dolls" teaching themselves would be tantamount to humiliation.
But even so, none of them dared to come out to speak, the emperor himself is a child, and it is reasonable to like to reuse people who are about the same age as themselves, and everyone's future is still in an undetermined state, everyone receives an empty sign from the ministry, as for what it means, no one is stupid, what will be filled in on it depends on their performance during this time.
These people, such as Lu Yihao and Zhang Jun, have lived in the temple for a long time, and they have sensitive nerves that no one else can compare with the changes in the current situation, so the house of the two of them has become an important place for military attaches to inquire about news.
However, the two of them are also helpless, since they met the new emperor on the training ground of the prince's camp, the little emperor has not appeared, as if he has forgotten them.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhao Tianci to forget the existence of their group of people, he was waiting, waiting for their reaction. And he was indeed very busy, and during this time, the newly established Baiqiao Bureau became the place he went to every day, and the new chief was the official named Lupin.
Lu Ping never thought that he could still get the attention of the emperor, and the original Shaofu Supervisor was only a nominal setting, in fact, he had no authority at all, and he handled some daily chores. But since the Shaofu Supervisor became a Baiqiao Bureau, the situation was completely different, and the little emperor would come to talk to him every day, and it was full of whimsical ideas that he had never heard of, which made him amazed.
Zhao Tianci's purpose was very simple, to get Lu Ping to mobilize civil forces. Gathering the wisdom of the people, he wants to see where the highest level of science and technology of this era is, and then put into practice the ambitious plans in his mind one by one.
Although he has cavalry in his hands, but those war horses are pulled from the Jin people, and if they lose one, they will lose one less, and there is no replenishment at all, so they have to consider other ways to deal with the Jin people's cavalry, and the cities north of the Yangtze River are in the hands of the Jin people, and it is also necessary to attack the city and plunder the land. Some of the necessary equipment needs to be improved.
After some understanding, the results obtained made him happy and mixed. Happily, the shipbuilding skills of the south were much more sophisticated than he had imagined, and not only could they build large sailing ships, not to mention small boats with dexterous shapes, but they were also very efficient. The concern is that iron-smelting technology is still limited to a small area, has not been popularized on a large scale, and the cost of mining is very high. This directly affected the realization of his other ambition, which was firearms.
There is no steel as a foundation. There was no need to think about firearms, which made him very discouraged. However, it also strengthened his determination to go north as soon as possible. There is no coal in the south, but there is a lot in the north, and he can even make a simple steam locomotive "sacred cow" when he opens it, not to mention that now he has more people in his hands, and the range of choices is larger than the original.
Compared to these problems, which could not be solved for a while, some of his other bizarre ideas were quickly realized. One of the most jaw-dropping is the "airship".
In fact, the so-called "airship" is the transformation of a hot air balloon, which is the easiest to achieve compared to other things.
With this thing, people's vision suddenly widens up, from the ground to the air. Overlooking everything in view.
Zhao Tianci was very ambitious, and when he proposed to build an "air force", not only Lupin, but everyone who heard these two words was stunned.
As a result, the Hundred Clever Bureau became a scientific research factory, and all kinds of talents were constantly recruited to join the army of building new weapons.
The test of each new type of equipment was carried out in the Prince's Camp.
When Zhao Yiyan, Ma Dai and the others saw the thing that looked like a shuttle slowly floating up the air carrying the little emperor, they were only dumbfounded.
With the advent of various equipment, Zhao Tianci's status in the hearts of everyone has risen sharply, and he has changed from a young emperor to a god.
The people around him have long been accustomed to his endless weird ideas, so it is not strange. Liang Hongyu is not one of them, she has not had much contact with Zhao Tianci, and it is too far behind the Liang Hongyu in the eight-color camp, so when she and Luo Yunfei came to the training ground of the camp together, when they saw more than a dozen fusiform objects suspended high in the air, they almost didn't fall off their horses.
"What is this?" She asked, stunned.
Luo Yunfei smiled, "Eldest sister, if you think it's strange, then it's strange." When I first met Tianci, he used something like this to deliver the news, and the court sent someone to rescue him, and I decided from then on that he was a new saint and that I had to be his servant. β
Liang Hongyu glanced at her and smiled, "Second sister, you like the emperor very much, I can see it." β
Luo Yunfei blushed and said, "Not only liking, but also worshipping, he is a god in my heart!" β
If Zhao Tianci heard this sentence, he would definitely be so beautiful that he couldn't sleep.
At this time, Zhao Tianci was standing on top of the airship, and the leaders of the eight-color battalion each controlled one. Now he doesn't dare to let go completely, and pulls these airships with ropes respectively, in case one of them is not good, and he can't come back, it will become a big joke.
He installed jet devices in different directions under the airship, constantly trying to control and fly at different wind speeds, and only after he had basic data did he dare to let the Eight Color Battalion take over and gradually become familiar with these new things.
Fortunately, Shen Mingzhu and the others did not have a fear of heights, otherwise his airships would only be decorations.
Yang Zizai stood beside him, looked down for a while and sighed, "With the airship, it will be easier for us to achieve our goal." β
Zhao Tianci nodded, "But this thing can only be used as an auxiliary tool, and if you really want it to play a practical function, it's still too far away." β
Yang Zizi nodded, "That's right." At this altitude, the existing weapons pose no threat to the enemy on the ground, and if the altitude is reduced and the enemy fires a few rockets up, then it will be over. β
Zhao Tianci smiled, "That's right." But it has an extremely important use......" He looked at Yang Zizai, and Yang Zizai also smiled, "Transporting troops!" β
"Yes!" Zhao Tianci said, "Not only can you transport troops, but you can also transport grain and grass." He stretched out his arms and said proudly, "When the time comes, the world will be so big, there will be no place where you and my brother can't go!" β
After speaking, he and Yang Zizi looked at each other and laughed, and said with a smile, "Brother Yang, I believe that it has another magical effect, ...... for those military attachΓ©s."
Yang Zizai also smiled, "That's right, after reading these things, those people probably don't dare to have any unrealistic ideas." β
Zhao Tianci sighed, "If thunderbolts can be made, our air force will be the real air force." β
Yang Zizi thought for a while and said, "Gunpowder is not a problem, the key is iron, how to wrap it in iron sheet on the outside is a big problem, and our current methods are not good." But I've heard that there are already fire bombs among the Mongolian people in the north, so I don't know if it's the kind of thing you said. β
Zhao Tianci said confidently, "Take your time, I believe that our wisdom will definitely find the right way." He pointed down and said, "Let's go down." β
The airship gradually descended, Zhao Tianci, Liang Hongyu and others got off the airship, Zhao Tianci asked, "Sister Hongyu, how do you feel, do you feel dizzy?" β
Liang Hongyu smiled, "It's okay, it's a little bit at the beginning, and then it's gone." β
"What about you?" Zhao Tianci looked at several other people.
"It's fun!" Shen Mingzhu and everyone said in unison.
Zhao Tianci said, "Mingzhu, the thunderbolt in the Baiqiao Bureau has encountered difficulties, you can take the time to go over and take a look and give me guidance." β
Shen Mingzhu nodded, among these people, she was an expert in firearms, and the idea of thunderbolts was the first to come up with her.
"Let's go to the tent, Sister Hongyu, the eldest sister is here, you haven't officially met yet, have you?" Zhao Tianci pointed to the tent office.
Everyone walked towards the tent, and Liang Hongyu said, "We haven't officially met yet, but we have met." β
Everyone came to the outside of the camp tent, Luo Yunfei and Liang Hongyu were standing there, the leaders of the eight-color camp also took off their masks, Liang Hongyu and Luo Yunfei saw their true faces for the first time, and they were immediately amazed, they were all high-spirited and beautiful, and they didn't look like generals galloping on the training ground at all.
Liang Hongyu's gaze fell on the other self, and she was stunned for a moment, except that the person in front of her was much younger and more beautiful than herself, her demeanor and temperament were really similar. Everyone's eyes also wandered back and forth on the two, and they were amazed.
"Hello big sister!" Liang Hongyu, who was dressed in a red battle robe, was more like a phoenix bathing in fire.
"Sister, you really look very similar to me, but my sister has never been as beautiful and young as you." Liang Hongyu stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the other Liang Hongyu and sighed.
"Eldest sister, I have discussed it with the minister, in order not to clash with the eldest sister's name, my sister has changed her name and called it Red Aya." Liang Hongyu said with a smile.
"Red Aya? Good, good name! Liang Hongyu looked at Zhao Tianci, "Is it the name the emperor gave you?" β
Liang Hongyu, it should be Hongyan now, smiled sweetly, "Yes." β
Zhao Tianci said, "It's much better this way, so as not to offend the eldest sister." β
Liang Hongyu smiled, "There is nothing offensive that is not offended, just a name." β
Everyone looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed. (To be continued.) )
