Chapter 223: The Flying Ball Camp Lifts Off
When Emperor Yang of Sui conquered Goryeo, he engaged in anger and resentment, which consumed the foundation of the empire, and the boss empire fell apart in a blink of an eye......
From the standpoint of Emperor Yang of Sui, this war, which was criticized by later generations, was originally a last resort.
The power of the gate valve family has swelled to the limit, and if you don't choose an external enemy and consume the armed forces of these gate valve families, you won't be able to keep your throne sooner or later.
After experiencing the turmoil at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the nascent Tang Dynasty also faced the same problem, but compared with the imminent Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er seemed much calmer, after all, the current gate valve family could not be compared with the late Sui Dynasty.
Develop Longyou, allow the family to participate in the enclosure, allow everyone to plant cotton together to save another foundation for their family, and allow powerful guys to spread their branches...... Even allowing the Great Voyage and allowing everyone to form a team to make a fortune in Lingnan can be called a means of Yangmou, which will continue to consume the wealth and heritage that have nowhere to be placed when everyone is willing.
With the output of the various projects and the benefits, then these big families have to face another problem.
Longyou distance from Chang'an...... A bit far.
There is no shortage of crazy people in the world who are willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of their families, but there are more careerists whose eyes are blinded by power.
As long as the time is ripe, and there is no need for even royal action, those families that have just re-accumulated their heritage will inevitably usher in a new round of splits and turmoil.
Isn't that what it's all about?
It can only be said that Emperor Yang of Sui was not as lucky as His Majesty Li Er, and he did not meet a Yongxingbo who could bring him new grain and new ideas!
The war with Goryeo at the end of the Sui Dynasty made bones buried everywhere along the Liaodong line, and now the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a noble general or a family, has a deep hatred for Goryeo because of that war.
Emperor Yang of Sui lost his life and throne for his plan, but those civil and military officials who lost their families and robes because of the conquest of Goryeo would not hold a grudge against him alone.
The reason why no one mentions this hatred is that Datang has enemies that need to be solved more first!
This is the real reliance that Liang Baoyu dares to defy the world's disapproval and design a desperate plan!
Liang Baoyu believes that as long as he can completely bury Goryeo's vitality on the front line of Liaoshui, there will never be fewer people attacking him above the court, and he hopes that there will be more people who defend him!
In order to smoothly implement the new mode of warfare with the Flying Ball Battalion as the main means of attack, it is necessary to ensure that the entire Lingnan Naval Division can be unimpeded on the Liaoshui line when winter is already on.
There was even a need for a forward base that could be attacked, retreated, and defended, and the first step to achieve such a goal was to wipe out all the sea forces of the Koreans.
The crushing raid on Miura Port completely disarmed the Goryeo people at sea, and the Lingnan Navy Division who changed the pirate flag has since had the capital to move around!
The forward base was selected by Liang Baoyu on Jinyanping Island, and the presence of the Lingnan Navy Division there was equivalent to blocking the entrance to the sea of Liaoshui, even if Zhang Liang rebelled in advance and wanted to backstab the Lingnan Navy Division, he could not do it.
And to occupy Jinyanping Island, you must first capture the Beisha City built on the Great Black Mountain, this city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it can be called a natural moat, the jungle is dense on the Great Black Mountain, the Goryeo people have been operating for many years in the mountains and forests, I don't know how many ambush organs have been arranged, if it is hard work, the entire Lingnan Sailor is filled in, and it may not be able to enter the Beisha City.
In the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty Hou'er lost 18,000 soldiers in order to capture Beisha City, and it is rumored that the reason why the Sui army was able to enter the city was because the corpses under the walls of Beisha City were already equal to the two-zhang high city walls!
From His Majesty Li Er to the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Liang Baoyu was so tolerant of this expedition to Liaodong, to put it bluntly, everyone knew in their hearts how difficult this trip was.
The cold winds of early winter are already very cold, and the hot air balloon taking off at this time is a very demanding test of technology.
Compared to the harsh natural environment, taking off from the deck of a ship becomes insignificant.
Against Beisha City, thirty flying balls are enough.
Ninety carefully selected drivers began to carefully sort out the bamboo baskets they were riding, and all kinds of tedious and meticulous inspections must not be faked by others, which is the first article on the driver's manual.
"Liu Gongzi, how about having a junior brother control the compass this time?"
The two donkeys who were eager to try while checking the equipment discussed with Liu Shengyi how to assign tasks, and the two guys rode on the same flying ball as Kong Wu's powerful and taciturn bombardier Ah Niu, and the kid's position was fixed.
"There's nothing impossible, two donkeys, if you want to control the compass, then I'll control the amount of fire."
The job of a flyball pilot is a test of talent, and the reason why Liu Shengyi showed his talent was to work in a farmhouse to earn credits...... Even when the Flying Ball Battalion was on the march, the flying ball floating above the farmhouse and hanging advertising banners was still not canceled.
"The wind is slowing down, igniting the fire! Soar into the air! Soar into the air! ”
The midday sun didn't bring much warmth to everyone, and although it was only winter, the temperature in this sea area was enough to freeze people's bones.
In the original history, His Majesty Li Er had three expeditions to Goryeo, but in the end he failed to destroy the country with his own hands, and the harsh geographical environment and harsh climate were the natural barriers of the Goryeo people.
As the oil bottle was ignited, the special sizzling sound of the flame sounded, and the shriveled hot air balloons slowly became full, and the swollen spheres blown by the sea breeze shook back and forth, and even the ships under their feet shook more violently than just now......
"No. 6 machine, No. 6 machine, close the fire bottle, close the fire bottle!"
Of the thirty hot air balloons that were ready to take off at the same time, only one of them could not be lifted off due to problems, which has exceeded Liang Baoyu's previous expectations, and I have to say that the technical level of these hot air balloon pilots who practice every day is superb enough!
Rising to a predetermined height, Liu Shengyi untied the rope that fixed the flying ball, and in the violent shaking, the three-person team piloting the No. 1 aircraft quickly pulled up!
"Ah Niu, you wrap the quilt tightly first, don't wait until it's time for you to make a move!"
Wearing a special thick leather jacket and a special thick leather hat, the second donkey, who wore goggles early, began to exercise his duties as the captain of the team, and the special cotton leather gloves pinched the compass slightly bulky to point out the direction for the whole team.
"I see."
Ah Niu, the bombardier who was also heavily armed, curled up his tall and burly body as much as possible, and then completely wrapped himself in a thick quilt...... It's like a huge lump!
"The fire has increased, always keep an eye on the course...... The target has been confirmed, the target has been confirmed, 15 degrees to the east, adjust the course! ”
"Into the troposphere, into the troposphere, the course has been adjusted! Goryeo cubs, your second donkey grandfather is here! ”
