The two kings were punished, but Sun Chuanting, the "king of Chuang", did not get the reward he deserved, and as soon as he returned to Beijing, he was hung up by Zhu Youzhen, let him rest well, and did not give him anything to do.

The people in the capital, even the common people are people with a keen sense of smell, not to mention officials at all levels, everyone felt an unusual aura, and they all hid away from Sun Chuanting at once.

When I drink food and tea in private, I will take this matter out and talk about it.

"Did you hear that? Sun Chuanting killed two kings in a row, but not only did he not receive a commendation, but he was left out in the cold. ”

"I've heard he provoked Gao Qidive!"

"Oh, is that someone you can mess with? That's the big celebrity next to the emperor. ”

"The emperor has always felt that Gao Qiqian is very good at fighting."

"The emperor only trusts eunuchs, and he doesn't trust foreign officials very much, for fear that someone will rebel."

"Gao Qiqian has been smiling in the past few days."

"Yes, I also heard that Gao Qiqian is even more arrogant, and now he goes to inspect the barracks and asks the personnel below the superintendent to salute him."

"Fuck, he's a eunuch who is neither yin nor yang, and he dares to ask all the people below the prison to salute him? That's too much, isn't it? Impeach him! ”

A few days later, Liu Jingyao of Yongping Dao and Yang Yuguo of Guannei Dao reported to Zhu Youzhen that Gao Qiqian had asked him to salute him.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen did not punish Gao Qiqian, but dismissed Liu Jingyao and Yang Yuguo.

Only then did everyone understand that Zhu Youzhen was such an emperor......

At the same time, Liaodong, the border between the Manchu and Mongolians.

The once flat border is now full of trenches, earthen pits, half-cut earthen walls, and stone mounds.

This large area of chaotic fortifications protected a small Qing army border fort.

In fact, this border fort used to be of the Ming Dynasty, and after the fall of Liaodong, it became the border fort of the Qing army.

In the past, it was useless, because Mongolia was the younger brother of the Qing Manchus, and there was no need to use the border fort to defend against Mongolia, but now it is different, the strategic position of this border fort has become extremely important, and the Qing army stationed a full 5,000 people in the border fort.

The small fortress could not accommodate so many people, so the camp had to be set up under the border fort, forming a huge military camp area.

The commander of this garrison, named Abatai, is a blue banner, and he is almost fifty years old this year, and he is a very old general in Manchuria. Huang Taiji took a fancy to his "old man", so he asked him to garrison the border to guard against the Mongols' big iron chariots.

At this time, the "veteran" Abatai was standing at the top of the border fort, looking out at the grasslands in the north......

Today's wind is beautiful, the sky is cloudless, there is no wind at all, and the view is extremely good.

Abatai saw at a glance that there were a number of large iron carts driving towards the northern steppe.

"Ring the alarm!" Abatai shouted, "Everyone is ready to meet the enemy. ”

The border fort suddenly came to life, and the banner soldiers of the blue flag began to prepare for battle, and a large number of soldiers ran out of the barracks, putting on armor and taking their places at the same time.

If it were against a normal enemy, they would line up.

But against the big iron car, the formation is to send to death.

Naturally, the bannermen did not line up, but jumped into the trenches, or drilled behind the low walls, into the dirt pits.

In the blink of an eye, the army of five thousand was all hiding behind all kinds of strange fortifications.

Abatai glanced at the hiding place of the soldiers, and then glanced at the situation on the battlefield, feeling quite satisfied, with his current arrangement, it is impossible for the big iron chariot to attack, and the Mongolian war horses will not be able to rush in.

"Hmph, did the Ming Dynasty think that if they made a strange big iron car, they would be able to defeat my Qing Dynasty?" Abatai said: "As long as we hold it well, when our big iron car is built, it will be the time for my Qing Dynasty to counterattack." ”

Sure enough, the big iron car on the opposite side did not dare to rush into this potholed place.

They stopped at a great distance and looked at the border fort from afar.

Abatai laughed: "We've been stopped, right?" Ha ha! ”

As soon as I laughed twice, I felt that something was wrong, and I saw that behind the big iron car, two trucks with trailers drove out, and the Han people moved something out of the trailer, placed them on the grassland, and then began to toss...... It's too far away to see clearly, and I don't know what they're tossing.

Abatai Daqi: "What are they doing?" ”

A subordinate with good eyes said, "It seems to be tossing a huge basket with a soft cloth on it?" ”

Then, they watched as the Han people blew up a huge balloon, and the balloon floated up, higher and higher, and there were a large number of people on the ground pulling ropes to help the big balloon stabilize its posture.

Abatai looked a little confused: "What is that?" ”

"It's like a giant Kong Ming lantern."

"What are you for?"

Abatai was confused, and the Qing soldiers were all confused.

Meanwhile......

On the Han side!

The soap warbler was shouting loudly: "Brothers of the armored cavalry battalion, the move is bright, this place is very close to Jiannu, they may rush over at any time, everyone must protect our scientists, they are all treasures!" ”

The soldiers laughed: "Don't worry, we have many binoculars looking at Jiannu, and they are all hiding behind the fortifications and dare not come out at all." ”

Soap Ying scolded with a smile: "The general idea is to lose Jingzhou." ”

Behind the large iron cart of the cavalry battalion, several transport trucks formed a circle, and a group of graduate students and senior technicians led by Mo Li had just filled a huge "flying balloon" with hot air and pulled it with a rope to let it slowly rise......

The "Flying Balloon" carries a brave scout on board.

"Is there wind up there?"

Mo Li raised his head and asked loudly.

The scout exclaimed, "There is no wind at the moment. ”

"Good, a little higher." Mo Li ordered someone to let go of a piece of rope again.

"Is there wind up there?"

"There are no ...... at the moment"

In this way, while asking, he slowly put the rope down, so that the "flying balloon" rose higher and higher.

Until he rose to a height that bows and arrows and firearms could never hit, Mo Li still asked uneasily: "Is there wind up there?" ”

The scout laughed: "Teacher Mo, don't worry, there is no wind, you can let go of all the ropes." ”

Mo Li: "You must be careful, if the wind comes and blows you to the territory of Jiannu, you will die." ”

Scout: "Don't worry, the weather is fine today, and there's not a hint of wind." I am blessed with a great life, and I cannot die, but if I really die, I will ......"

"Bah! Don't say such unlucky things. A crowd on the ground roared.

The scout didn't care, shrugging his shoulders.

"Okay, let go of the rope."

Mo Li ordered loudly, and the people on the ground let go of their hands.

The scout on the flying balloon immediately rolled up the rope and received it inside the hanging basket.

The flying balloon hovered over the head of an armored vehicle.
