Chapter 175: This is Destiny!

When the Air Force No. 1 airship appeared in Qingpu County early the next morning and began to land in a pre-designated open space near the Qingpu Military Academy, it caused a sensation again, especially those young students of the military academy, who would rather risk being punished than run to watch the airship land.

You know, this is a close look at the landing of a behemoth, which is completely different from observing the airship in the air from afar on the ground, if you want to make a comparison, then the airship in the sky, like a star on TV, is more illusory, and the airship landing, like going to a concert to see the scene, feels more real.

In fact, although the airship has appeared in the West, it is still a rare thing, even Westerners have never seen it in their lifetime, or even heard of it, let alone the Chinese.

Relatively speaking, the students of Qingpu Military Academy know that there is such a thing as an airship from the textbooks, and even know the principle that the airship can fly, so they are not like the ordinary people they met before, but the curiosity is the same.

In fact, not only those Chinese students, but even Karlsson, a well-informed foreigner, was stunned when he saw such a big airship, and once again refreshed his opinion on the new equipment of the elite army.

There is no doubt that such a huge airship is a strategic unit at this time, that is, the space shuttle of the nineteenth century, and every move has attracted much attention, that is, China is not closely connected with the outside world at this time, otherwise, the appearance of such a large airship in China will inevitably make the whole world know.

Of course, because they had been notified in advance, even if those curious students ran over the barriers, they could not get too close, because the places where the airships docked were all marked as forbidden areas, and a large number of troops stood guard, and barbed wire was pulled in advance. So even if the students of Qingpu Military Academy come, they will be stopped too.

Li Hezhang was also among the students who came to watch the airship landing, of course, he didn't want to run out of the classroom and didn't want to violate discipline, but he was actually forcibly pulled over by others.

Since he was separated from Huang Kuan and others, Li Hezhang entered the Whampoa Military Academy smoothly, and then soon entered the artillery department with excellent examination results.

Entering the artillery section was his own request, because in his opinion. The artillery of the Jingwu Army is the most powerful, and relatively speaking, the musket of the Jingwu Army does not think it is so unusual.

During his studies at Qingpu Military Academy, he was rich, old, and bold, so he quickly made a lot of friends, and everyone liked to pull this older classmate in everything, such as skipping class to visit the airship this time. He was forcibly dragged out by a few classmates.

However, when the group came to the barbed wire fence and the defense gendarmes, and saw the scene of the Air Force One airship slowly landing at close range, Li Hezhang's knowledge has increased dramatically recently. But I still felt two wars, my lips were dry, and I immediately thought of using this thing as a weapon.

"If you put a cannon on it and bombard it from above...... No. You don't need a cannon, you just need to bring a cannonball and throw it down. Ay. If that's the case, then who in the world can stop them? This is the first thing that Li Hezhang thought of.

Even Li Hezhang, who was watching from a distance, was like this, and Li Yongchang, who came to greet Li Yongji in person, could only be more wolf.

In fact, when he saw the airship pressing down on the place where he was standing, he couldn't stand anymore for a long time, and he relied on Wu Tingfang next to him to help him, so he didn't fall to the ground.

However, he still felt some palpitations later, so he quickly returned to his carriage and hurried away, not knowing that it was just an illusion, and in fact, even if the airship landed, it would not fall on his head at all.

The landing of the airship is different from the ascent, it cannot be directly aired and landed, but it is necessary to use the power of the propeller thruster to descend while slowly deflating, which can make the descent process more stable.

But in this way, it will inevitably be like a helicopter, exerting strong wind pressure on the ground, so there is no one around, because if you don't pay attention, you will blow people down.

In addition, there are no qualified airship ground crews here in Qingpu County, so it is necessary to let the special forces people jump down from the air about ten meters high along the rope, fix the ground anchor first, and then slowly deflate to completely let the airship land.

When the airship finally landed, another fifteen minutes passed, and when the engine completely stopped, the airship's hatch was opened, and then Li Yongji was seen walking down the escalator and slowly walking down the cabin.

At this time, Li Yongchang, who had reacted, ran over in the carriage again, and after getting out of the carriage and walking to Li Yongji, he hurriedly complained: "Jishi, why bother reporters to come over like this, just call, it's too dangerous for you to do this." ”

"Hehe, it's not dangerous, this thing is actually safe." Li Yongji smiled, and then walked with Li Yongchang to the welcoming carriage, while continuing, "I said that I don't want to pick it up, it's all my own family, why bother." ”

"No, the etiquette can't be abolished, I don't know, since I know that you are coming, how can I not come to pick you up." Li Yongchang shook his head, "This is also what my father meant, a snake can't be without a head, since you are the backbone of our family, you must highlight your status and not let people misunderstand." ”

"Hmm." Li Yongji nodded, and said no more.

After Li Yongji and Li Yongchang got into the greeting carriage, Li Yongji's Feilong special forces immediately rushed to sit in the front and rear four carriages, and vigilantly observed the surroundings, looking like a loyal protector, and when they all confirmed that there was no problem around, the escort cavalry team that came to greet them went first, and when the cavalry team opened the road and was surrounded in the middle, the carriage that Li Yongji was riding in began to start.

In fact, this huge cavalry team is not so much an escort team, but rather an honor guard, because this is Qingpu County, but also the location of the Qingpu Military Academy, and this is the territory where Li Yongji started.

Soon, the guard of honor driven by the escort Li Yongji left the landing range of the airship, and then walked all the way until it stopped at Yangxinju, and walked for a total of half an hour.

If there is no guard of honor. If Li Yongji rode a horse by himself, it was estimated that it would not take more than fifteen minutes, because the place where the airship originally docked was not far from Yangxinju.

After getting out of the carriage, he found that Li Zhengxiang had been waiting there happily for a long time, and after being slightly stunned, Li Yongji hurriedly walked over and began to salute Li Zhengxiang, because no matter what, he was also his father. As Li Yongchang said, etiquette cannot be abolished, and some places should be paid attention to.

After receiving Li Yongji's salute, Li Zhengxiang turned around first, and then Li Yongji and Li Yongchang also followed, and walked to the living room of Yangxinju before they sat down separately.

Of course, this is his own family, so Li Zhengxiang is of course the main position. Li Yongji is the deputy host, and Li Yongchang only gets the position of host and guest.

After waiting for the servants to come over and bring the tea, Li Zhengxiang waved his hand and asked all the subordinates to go down. Then after seeing that only the three masters and sons were present, he sighed: "Hey, I can't imagine it, just one year." Our family has undergone such a drastic change, and when you think about it, it's really like in a dream. ”

"yes." Li Yongchang also followed. "I never dreamed that I could get to this point before, I just thought that it would be good to be admitted to a show, who knows...... Hey, it's all Yongji's work. ”

"Where, I'm just taking advantage of the situation." Li Yongji shrugged his shoulders, "I just have this opportunity, so it's just, hehe." ”

"Hmm." Li Zhengxiang glanced at Li Yongchang, and suddenly said to Li Yongji, "Yongji, outsiders don't know, but we know that the qiē you are now was given to you by the people of the All-Spirit Sect." ”

"Sort of." Li Yongji nodded.

"Now that you have the capital to seize the world, will the people of the All-Spirit Sect open their mouths and put forward any more excessive conditions because of this?" Li Yongchang asked again.

"No, it won't." Li Yongji smiled, "Don't worry, the All-Spirit Sect has already been inside, I am now the strongest party, and they have all taken refuge in me, so you don't have to worry about the All-Spirit Sect in this regard, I am completely in control, otherwise, can I have the Yiqi I have now?" ”

Seeing Li Yongji say this, Li Zhengxiang had no choice but to nod: "Okay, since you said so, then I won't ask." ”

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhengxiang said again: "Yongji, Beijing City has been laid, next, it's time to ascend the throne and claim the emperor, when are you going to do it?" Where do you plan to ascend the throne? ”

"I haven't thought about this yet." Li Yongji shook his head, "What, father, do you have any plans?" ”

"Sort of, indeed." Li Zhengxiang nodded, "It is said that it is naturally best to ascend the throne in Beijing, but it is too far away to reach it." So think about it, it's also good to ascend the throne in Suzhou, just find a garden in Suzhou to expand into a palace, and you can also save a lot of money, what do you think? ”

"Enthroned in Suzhou?" Li Yongji was stunned, "Generally speaking, the place where you ascend the throne is the capital, do you want to treat Suzhou as the capital in the future?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with treating Suzhou as the capital." Li Yongchang said, "Suzhou is close to us, we are used to living there, and it is the most prosperous, and those who look at it also say that there is a royal spirit, and it is the most suitable place to ascend the throne and establish a country." ”

"Nope." Li Yongji shook his head, "Suzhou is good, but it is still a little inappropriate to say that it is the capital." ”

"Actually, it's only temporary." Li Zhengxiang said, "The most important thing for us at present is to do the matter of ascending the throne and becoming the emperor first, so that everyone can have a backbone, so that they will not be as nameless as now." As for the future, if you don't think it's suitable, you can just move the capital again, and that's nothing. ”

"Oh, I see." Li Yongji looked at Li Zhengxiang, then at Li Yongchang, and then said to Li Zhengxiang, "Dad, you are still persuading you, are you in such a hurry to let me ascend the throne as the emperor?" ”

"Of course I'm in a hurry." Li Zhengxiang nodded, "If the name is not right, it is not good, you have even beaten down Beijing now, and the Taiping Army will be destroyed sooner or later, but now you are just the name of the commander of the elite army, and then you have engaged in a Jiangnan military government, these things even I frowned when I heard them, and the people didn't recognize them, do you still expect others to be willing?" ”

"Oh, that's right." Li Yongji nodded, "So you came here this time, in fact, you want me to ascend the throne as soon as possible and establish a new dynasty as soon as possible?" ”

"That's right!" Li Yongchang said, "Now that we have enough soldiers and food, and the territory is big enough, even the Manchu Qing Dynasty has overthrown us, whether it is strength, prestige or morality, we have all occupied, if we don't ascend the throne at this time, when will we ascend the throne?"

Third brother, don't you know, too many people have come to me, and they all asked me to persuade you to ascend the throne as soon as possible, Yongji, this is the desire of the people, you can't drag it out like this anymore, and if you delay it any longer, it will chill everyone's hearts. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll take the throne." Li Yongji smiled, "Then your plan, when do you want me to ascend the throne?" ”

"Are you really going to listen to us?" Li Yongchang asked.

"What's this, it's just to ascend the throne and become an emperor, and it's not a flood beast." Li Yongji shook his head, "Seeing that you are all so solemn, if I don't let you handle it again, then you don't have to annoy me to death, so I'll obey you." ”

"Hahaha, that's great." Li Yongchang clapped his hands, "We have all thought about it, this is the base location, and we will choose Suzhou, after all, Suzhou is a big city, and it is also the place where you became famous in a war, and it is best to ascend the throne here." As for the Imperial Palace, Hanbi Villa is a little smaller, so why don't you take out the Humble Administrator's Garden, expand it, and build a small palace first? ”

"I don't think so." Li Yongji shook his head, "Now we are in ruins, we have to use money everywhere, there is no need to build a lot of construction for the palace, and besides, I don't like that kind of palace." Well, I think since you have to choose Suzhou, it would be good to expand Hanbi Villa and change it to a palace. ”

"How can this be done, Hanbi Villa is too small, and the nearby places have suffered from fires, and they have not yet been restored, how can it reflect the dignity of the royal family when it is chosen as the palace?" Li Yongchang immediately shook his head in disapproval.

"Royal decency?" Li Yongji smiled, "I think it's a bit inappropriate to use the palace to show the royal dignity." The dignity of the royal family should be that the country is rich and the people are strong, and those monarchs of the Western powers, the palace is not as big as our garden, but they are still great powers. So, let's do this for the palace first, let's treat Hanbi Villa as a palace, it's really not good, can we be another palace first, and then we will have money in the future, and then change places. ”

Seeing Li Yongji's insistence, Li Yongchang had no choice but to nod: "Okay, since you have to be like this, then choose Hanbizhuang as the palace, and then it's time." In terms of time, what do you think of the accession to the throne in five days? ”

"Enthroned in five days? Do you want it so fast? Li Yongji was surprised, "Aren't they all about choosing an auspicious day for the zodiac?" ”

"Five days later is the auspicious day of the zodiac." Li Yongchang said, "Five days later is the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, Xinyou Day. This destiny is in Jiuzi, the five elements belong to the fire, and it is auspicious to prosper, it is the day to rush and urge you, and your eight characters are also the most harmonious, and your enthronement at this time is auspicious!

Originally, we were worried that you wouldn't be able to come back in Beijing on this day, and if we wanted to change to a different day, it would only be next year, but who knew that you would come back today, which was completely unexpected by us.

So, you see, is this a plan in the dark? This is what God is tailoring for you! Therefore, it is destined that you will ascend the throne as emperor on that day, this is the destiny of heaven! (To be continued......)
