CHAPTER XXIV

Baili Wuji asked Gao Rongrong to comfort Meng Yanyi, who was angry and left, Meng Yanyi and Gao Rongrong are too different, the difference in personality and the fact that her daughter has just gotten married, Meng Yanyi desperately hopes that Baili Wuji will be by her side.

Baili Wuji knew this, but he preferred that he could participate in the final battle of the Ming Kingdom.

Perhaps this is to add a memory to your ideals and future when you grow old, which is a kind of fulfillment, the fulfillment of life.

Maybe Baili Wuji is also the same as Baili Yi in his heart, and he has a strong reluctance to Rong Ma.

But the soldier is a murder weapon, as an emperor, Baili Wuji yearns for war on the one hand, and looks forward to no more war on the other.

This in itself is a contradiction.

Baili Wuji is just a normal person, he wants to do what he wants to do, but the responsibility he shoulders makes him more and more unable to do whatever he wants.

And this time, it is likely that he will be willful for the last time.

For brothers, and for themselves.

The age difference between the Zhou sisters is too big compared to Baili Wuji, and they are so big that they can even be Baili Wuji's daughters.

For these two concubines, Baili Wuji has no other feelings except for a sense of responsibility.

Sometimes, even the emperor, who is in the supreme position, cannot decide who the woman sleeping next to him is.

Baili Wuji asked the Zhou sisters to persuade their father Zhou Zong to support their own conquest, and the Zhou sisters, who had changed their position, were easily persuaded by Baili Wuji.

So, things went smoothly as planned.

The great wheel of the Ming War turned again, but this time it was different from any previous war.

Because. This war is absolutely certain, it is just a simple war to destroy the country, and it is not even a local war. Because only 100,000 new troops went out.

For the new army, this war could not even be called a war, it was like a trip to the southwestern border of the Ming Kingdom.

The Ming court did not make any preparations for war, except for the expropriation of civilian grain and the control of trade to Dali, everything was the same as usual.

The people still eat and drink, and no one knows that the giant wheel of the last great war of the Ming Kingdom has begun to turn.

Baili Wuji and others began to operate as planned.

The selection of the first and second armies of the new army began. Veterans who had already fought more than three times were left behind, because these soldiers would serve as the foundation of the Ming army in the future.

After discussing with the four of them, Baili Wuji decided to go on this expedition. The soldiers of the new army left behind all their horses and artillery after arriving at Chengdu and Tera, and only carried muskets and grenades to march into the army.

In order to ensure safety, Baili Wuji asked the Ship Institute to specially build eight small wheel boats, which have been transformed. It can be equipped with a four-inch bow gun. Carrying sixteen personnel, the speed can reach sixty miles per hour.

With these eight gunboats with a very shallow draft, then they can effectively cover the new army's crossing of the Min and Jinsha rivers.

Artillery can also be removed as an aid to siege if necessary.

Baili Wuji also requisitioned a large number of flat-bottomed boats for the purpose of transporting grain and ammunition.

After a month of preparation and scheduling.

Xu Shouren and Bai Likang each led 300 selected soldiers to disguise themselves to the west and entered the Dali Kingdom according to the plan.

The choice of Xu Shouren and Bai Likang to infiltrate Dali was carefully considered by the five of them.

Xu Shouren has no doubt that a large number of fine works lurking in Dali are from his military intelligence institute, and there is no one more suitable than him to lead the fine work to carry out various activities.

And Baili Yi was excluded from the beginning, he was a reckless general. Brave but not able to plan. "Latent", rebellion, and agitation are a kind of technical work, and Bailiyi is obviously not up to the task.

Choose between Sun Shixu and Bailikang. Baili Wuji naturally chose Bailikang, since he was a child, Bailikang belongs to the kind of civil and military half-talented characters who are not as literate as Xu Shouren and martial arts as Bailiyi.

But Baili Wuji knows that Baili Kang has no martial arts, and compared with Baili Yi and Xu Shouren, they are both inferior. It's just that Bailikang's character is like a hermit, and he has a natural aversion to politics and war.

This greatly inhibited Berry's achievements.

But Bailikang is not a real hermit after all, when Baili Wuji attacked Ma Chu in a surprise attack, Bailikang was between Xiangxiang and Liling, defeated the Jingjiang army with a outnumber, and was famous all over the world in a war, and has since been included in the list of famous generals of the Ming Kingdom.

This battle fully shows that Baili Wuji's judgment of Bailikang is correct, and Bailikang's talent is far above the appearance he shows, which is also the main reason why Baili Wuji chose to let Bailikang sneak into Dali.

But really speaking, in fact, Baili Wuji is "no choice", Sun Shixu has already elaborated his attitude, he is "don't do latent things anymore if you die", more than ten years of Dongying's "latent career" has made Sun Shixu exhausted, and he now just wants to lead his troops to become famous.

This is not only his dream since childhood, but also Sun Guangxian's expectations for his son before his death.

In view of this, the four of Baili Wuji can only fulfill him no matter what, so the other person who is lurking can only be Bailikang.

Bai Liyi, Sun Shixu, and Yun Yang were busy selecting soldiers from the New Army.

And Baili Wuji goes back and forth between the armory workshop and the Yang Ting-style "bombing team" every day.

There is no doubt that the crude "bombardment team" has already shown its hideousness after two performances, and the interest of Baili Wuji has begun to tilt towards it.

In the armaments of this era, only large or heavy crossbows such as bed crossbows could pose a threat to hot air balloons in the sky of thirty feet, but it is conceivable that it is not easy to make heavy crossbows such as bed crossbows point into the air.

Even if he can point in the air preparedly, it is even more difficult for the soldier who controls the bed crossbow to shoot.

The amount of advance required for shooting, the wind speed at that time, and other prerequisites were as incomprehensible to ordinary soldiers who could not even read a basket of words at that time.

That is, the "bombardment squads" were invincible in the war from the day they were born.

The only losses came from training, as well as falls caused by improper maneuvering in the air or weather.

But this is a minority after all, Baili Wuji will naturally not waste food due to choking, with his strong support, the armory workshop has put a lot of effort into the volume and load capacity of the hot air balloon, and the most important thing is the power of the projectile, which is also improved again and again.

For the preset fragments of the device in the shell of the projectile, after countless tests, it was determined that the original irregular fragments were determined to be regular fragments.

The fragment is a small cube of iron superimposed on an iron ball, which not only increases the lethality, but also reduces the size of the preset fragment.

After that, Baili Wuji finalized the bomb and called it "Heavenly Fury No. 1". (To be continued......)
