Ding Jianpeng took off his goggles, his face was excited, Xiao Ming snatched the goggles: "Great! I'm worried that I can't feel Liaodong! Now you have the tools! ”

"Hey! Feed! It's just an experimental balloon, and it needs to be refueled with alcohol! Ding Jianpeng shouted from behind.

Seeing that he was too anxious, Xiao Ming looked at Ding Jianpeng embarrassedly, Ding Jianpeng pointed at Xiao Ming's nose and scolded: "You are always in a hurry, do you burn your ass?" Why do you want to rush to Liaodong again? ”

"Don't talk about it, my mineral base, medicinal material base, and timber base are all there! If it is occupied by the Jin State, my loss will be great, and the matter of this Liaodong mutiny, your history is better than mine, I don't know? ”

"Fart! You have already tampered with history, how can there be any Dongdan Kingdom in history! No matter how good I am at history, I am not a fortune teller, I know everything......"

"That's ...... too!"

Everyone looked strangely at Ding Jianpeng training Xiao Ming in the distance, it was really incredible, the chairman of the Richanglong Senate, the big boss of Tianping Iron Factory, and even Xiao Ming of the Dongdan King was afraid of a craftsman! Let the family motto be whispered, this kind of situation has never been seen before!

Ding Jianpeng understood the situation and said: "Okay, I'll ask Wu Yishi to send you to Liaodong, but is it dangerous for you to go back now in the current chaos?" ”

Xiao Ming said: "There may be a little danger, my troops are a little small, and I am likely to suffer losses under the chaotic battle, but it is not possible to take some risks, and if it is really not possible, I can only transfer troops from Weihai and Hangzhou!" ”

Ding Jianpeng said: "I was going to experiment with some things in the air, but I have confidence in the military use of the entire hot air balloon with the experimental data this time, you go, I will rush back to Hangzhou to inform Luo Wen and give you support as soon as possible." ”

"Brother Ding! Thank you so much......! ”

"Don't thank me yet, I'm worried, what will happen to you if I'm gone?"

"You mean ......! Will it really succeed? But that's dangerous, right? ”

"Theoretically, yes, I won't be reconciled if I don't try it in this cycle!"

"But ......!"

"It's nothing, you are a person with dreams, unlike me, I am always confused, I hope that what I do will help you somewhat, and it depends on you how to go down the road!"

It seems that there is a kind of goodbye between the two, but only they themselves understand what it means, others can't hear it, Gu Xiaoliu and Qian Baguang must follow Xiao Ming to make balloons, plus Wu Song and Xiao Ming are four people, and everyone is ready to leave when they are ready.

At this time, Xiao Ming's sleeve was pulled from behind, Xiao Ming turned his head and saw that it was Bing'er, patted his head, and almost forgot her, what should I do, Bing'er's face was pale, she must follow Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming spent a long time persuading her to take a car to Weihai first, and then go to Liaodong together.

Bing'er agreed aggrievedly, Xiao Ming was actually lying to her, the speed of the balloon in the air was very fast, and it was a straight-line distance, and when Bing'er arrived in Weihai, she couldn't figure out that she was already in Liaodong. He really didn't want Bing'er to follow him into danger, even though she was nominally his own girl.

The separation is imminent, Xiao Ming wiped away the tears on Bing'er's face, he always felt that this time there was a feeling of shock, he was a little reluctant, but he didn't say much, the balloon was carried by five people, seeing that Xiao Ming seemed to have something to say to himself, Ding Jianpeng also jumped on the seat frame and said: "Let's give you another ride"

……

A huge gray and earthy yellow hot air balloon rose into the sky, Xiao Ming and they finally left, all the people in Taiping City were looking at the balloon in the sky, full of curiosity about this magical thing, people said that our big boss is the thunder god in the sky, and now even the clouds have come down to pick up people!

In the high sky, Qian Baguang and Gu Xiaoliu felt a little cold, and they shrank in the corner and didn't dare to look down, because of dizziness, Ding Jianpeng looked at the terrain with a telescope, and after pointing out the direction for Wu Song, he began to explain some things to Xiao Ming.

First of all, the pharmaceutical factory in Hangzhou has begun to take shape, the production of chemical drugs is currently only the treatment of heart disease, nitroglycerin can be produced, and the efficacy is stable, the establishment of the pharmaceutical factory has the efforts of An Daoquan, Ding Jianpeng intends to distribute the drugs for early treatment free of charge through the Richanglong Charity Hall.

Ding Jianpeng has been experimenting with the results of his master's thesis in his lab, which is the manufacture of new biological materials, such as algae and other aquatic plants, and has now achieved some preliminary results, which are now used in the coating on the surface of balloons.

The airtightness of the new material is very good, fireproof and waterproof, it can replace plastic products in time, I hope Xiao Ming can continue, and then there are glass factories, cement factories, match factories and other emerging industrial plants, there are some very special inventions, all of which were invented by those civilian craftsmen, and he asked Xiao Ming to support this kind of effort.

Ding Jianpeng has been explaining a lot of things, but Xiao Ming interrupted him and said to him: "You must have something on your mind, I won't force you to do this, now I am a person who is concerned, I can't compare to you, but I have a hunch that you will definitely come back, so I will wait for you, and I will go to Liaodong now, and the future is uncertain, but I will promise all those who care about me that they will definitely come back, so you must also promise me that you will come back!" ”

After Ding Jianpeng was silent for a long time, he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you!" ”

It only took half a day for the balloon to arrive at the boundary of Shandong, and in less than a while, the Weihai base was in sight, Xiao Ming instructed Qian Baguang to let him organize a team of men and horses from the artillery unit trained in the Weihai base, and then quickly rushed to Port Arthur by boat, while he had to wear Gu Xiaoliu and go directly to Tokyo.

Ding Jianpeng can take a boat back to Hangzhou at the Weihai base, but Xiao Ming gave him a task, that is, to stay in Weihai and wait for Bing'er first, and he must persuade her to stay at the Shandong base and not go to Liaodong to find himself, he is still a little worried that she will be reckless, and he also wrote a letter to his family, and also took Ding Jianpeng back to Hangzhou and handed it over to Su Caier.

After the balloon was replenished with alcohol, it continued to take off, from Weihai on the Shandong Peninsula to Tokyo on the Liaodong Peninsula, so the transition, it took only two days to rush from Xuzhou to Liaodong, because the balloon could not fly at night, they stayed in Weihai for one night, and flew directly to Tokyo early the next morning, the balloon flew in the air until the evening before seeing, the city wall of Tokyo.

Xiao Ming told Wu Song to slowly land the balloon on the square of the palace, and the soldiers guarding were so frightened that they scattered and fled, and after a while, a group of people who came in a hurry were led by Xiao Ming's appointment to stay in Tokyo, Xiao Chaihu, and one person was Zhao Yanshou, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Xiao Ming coming down from inside, and shouted Lord Wang! Zhao Yanshou stepped forward and saluted: "I don't know if the king of Dongdan is back, his subordinates are scared to death, everyone is from the clouds in the sky, it must be a certain immortal who has descended to earth!" ”

Xiao Ming said with a smile: "This is the latest invention, and it is also my means of transportation, it is not a fairy act, I will enter the mansion right now, you help me, Lord Xiao Gan and Lord Wu Yong will help me find it, and we will have a meeting immediately!" ”

Zhao Yanshou took the order and left, this Zhao Yanshou is a member of the Zhao family, and his talent is extremely high, and he is a candidate for the privy deputy envoy highly recommended by Xiao Gan, which is used to replace himself as the privy envoy and vacate the position of deputy envoy, Zhao Yanshou does have some talents, and there is once a poem Xiao Ming has read and praised it: The yellow sand wind is thrown in the air, and the clouds are heavy and the mountains are full of snow.

The water explorer moved back to the tent, and the eagle arrows fell with the bow.

The birds are hungry and pecked at the frost and fruits, and the horses run away from the glacier with thirst.

Occupy the fertile grassland of the plateau, and make a fire in the middle of the night to break the treetops.

The scene described in the poem is the scene of Emperor Liao's winter hunting, but it is not liked by Emperor Tianzuo, so his career is very dull, until he met Xiao Ming in Liunanfu.

Xiao Ming was waiting in the conference hall, Dongdan's officials at all levels in Tokyo came one after another, Xiao Ming was very strange, and asked Xiao Chai Hudao: "I just want the privy envoy Lord Xiao and Prime Minister Lord Wu to discuss the matter, why are all the officials here, is there something wrong with them?" ”

Xiao Chai Hu said: "King, I think you also rushed back for the Shenzhou mutiny, right?" You will definitely come back to solve such a big thing, and everyone is also looking forward to your early return, and now everyone knows the information about your return, so they are all here. ”

Xiao Ming said: "Dongdan is not my alone, everyone can't count on me for everything!" Is brainstorming the best way to solve a problem? Since it's here, let's come here, let's discuss it together and see what to do! ”

After a while, Xiao Gan and Wu Yong also arrived, and everyone saluted Xiao Ming together, Xiao Ming waved his hand and said: "Don't be so polite, all adults, I also heard about the Shenzhou mutiny this time and rushed back from the Great Song Dynasty, let's talk about how this matter should be handled?" ”

Xiao Gan said: "Xiao Tzu Buye commanded the army excessively, and the mutiny caused by the abuse of the soldiers, his subordinates Qiu Lu and Yelu Zhang Ping were also generals who had surrendered to the Jin State, Xiao Tzu Buye has always been ineffective and deducted military salaries, and he is always defeated again and again in wars, and this incident is also self-inflicted!" ”

Xiao Ming said: "Xiao Tzu Buye was once a noble relative of Da Liao, and he was also a famous general of Da Liao. Although it is a department of the Northern Academy, it has always had a normal relationship with my Southern Academy, and I have handed over the defense of the entire Liaodong region to him, and it is an exaggeration to say that he has no command of the army, and there is no need for him to withhold military salaries? ”

Xiao Chai Hu said: "Yelu Zhang Pin once announced his ten major crimes after killing Xiao Tzu Buye, among which there are brutal and murderous words, abusing soldiers, and deducting military salaries, but we don't know whether it's true or not!" ”

"Humph! People who kill people will always make some excuses for themselves," Xiao Ming snorted angrily.

Wu Yong said: "Now that the rebels in Shenzhou have reached an agreement with the Jin State, the Jin State actually sent 100,000 troops to help the rebels prepare to conquer Tokyo, and the 20,000 cavalry of General Han and General Yelu Yungu are confronting them in the Dongliang River, but they have not moved in the past few days!" ”

Xiao Ming asked, "Where are my 3,000 guards deployed now?" ”

"Back to the king, the Guards are now stationed south of Tokyo, and they have not yet entered the city, and General Jerusha is commanding there."

"When the Jin soldiers cross the Dongliang River, they will immediately come to the city, it seems that we need to defend the city, the other party must be ready to negotiate the conditions if there is no movement, what conditions do you estimate they will negotiate?" Xiao Ming asked.

Everyone at the bottom was silent, and their expressions were very weird, if it was someone else's weird expression, it would be fine! But even Xiao Gan and Wu Yong's expressions were very weird, full of helplessness, resentment and unwillingness, Xiao Ming immediately felt that something was wrong, and then looked outside the hall door, and was shocked that there was a faint flash of soldiers' weapons!

Xiao Ming immediately became vigilant, could these people have rebelled? He himself gasped, his eyes surveyed everyone one by one, and he was calculating for a while, no wonder he was uneasy, it turned out that in these days when he was away, something really happened in Tokyo, and it seemed that someone was ambushed and waited for him to come back.

He suddenly laughed and smiled at everyone: "I understand, you must already know the conditions of the rebels and the Jurchens, but you pretend not to understand one by one, and then wait for me to come back so that you can talk to me about the law, right?" ”

He suddenly turned pale and said, "If my statement doesn't satisfy you, you're ready to rebel, right?" The last sentence was so loud that everyone in the underground was taken aback!
