Chapter 618 Hot Air Balloon
After sending out three armies, Zhu Cixiang prepared to let Sun Chuanting lead another group of troops to rescue Tashan.
Didn't Jiannu want to take advantage of the cavalry to attack in multiple directions? Zhu Cixi also divided his troops to fight. He believed that the Ming army would be able to defeat all Jiannu troops in one fell swoop.
After this battle, although the Jiannu slaves cannot be wiped out in one fell swoop, it will at least severely damage their vitality and make subsequent battles much easier to fight.
Most of Jiannu's troops were deployed on the Songjin battlefield, with very few defensive troops in the rear. After winning this battle, the Ming army would be unstoppable, sweeping Jiannu all the way to Shengjing.
He looked at this historical pillar of the Ming Dynasty and said:
"Sun Qing, you will lead five thousand Qin soldiers to Tashan. You will be as fierce as a tiger and lead a battalion of tiger and leopard cavalry to follow. I hope that this time the four-pronged army will defeat the slaves in Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan, and Jinzhou in one fell swoop, and strive to annihilate them all!
"
Sun Chuanting hurriedly bowed to receive the order:
"According to the order!"
"Li Fang, send someone to keep an eye on Yang Guozhu and his group. If they get involved with Jian Nu, they must report it to me immediately."
Li Fang immediately raised her hand and saluted:
"Here!"
"When Zhou Yuji Cao turned into a dragon, he sent the order. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Shenwu Army were ready to set off at any time. Let's go!"
"Here!"
The two of them followed the order and left the governor's Yamen.
Seeing Zhu Cixiang sending four groups of troops in succession, Emperor Chongzhen asked in a low voice:
"Huang'er has troops dispatched from Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan, and Tashan. How about you sit in Jinzhou and take command, and let your father go out with Cao Bianjiao or Zhou Yuji?"
Zhu Cixiang immediately understood the Emperor's thoughts. Chongzhen wanted to follow the front-line troops to perform meritorious service and leave a mark in the history of the liberation of Liaodong.
Of course Zhu Cixiang would not let Chongzhen go on an expedition alone with Zhou Yuji or Cao Bianjiao. The Supreme Emperor liked to give random orders. Zhu Cixiang could ignore his father's advice, but would Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji dare not listen?
Zhu Cihong waved to Hu Bao and Wang Chengen:
"You all stand down, I have something to discuss with my father!"
"According to the order!"
Hu Bao and Wang Chengen immediately exited the lobby with their guards and others. Seeing that there were only themselves and the Supreme Emperor in the lobby, Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said:
"Father, don't worry, you just need to be with the emperor with peace of mind. After the restoration of Liaodong, the emperor will ask the historian to make a special note that Emperor Shenwu and Emperor Chongzhen will march together in person. Under the wise command of you and my father and son, the Ming army
The great destruction of Jiannu and the restoration of Liaodong..."
Chongzhen's old face suddenly felt a little hot when he heard this, but his eyes glowed with gold. He grabbed Zhu Cixiang's hand and said:
"The recovery of Liaodong is the result of the efforts of the emperor and the soldiers. My father only took advantage of the military merit. My father's abdication of the throne to you was the most correct decision he made.
Although the father never publicly praised the emperor, the father knew that the emperor was invincible. If the emperor had not ascended the throne to supervise the country, the Ming Dynasty would have been in danger.
A hundred years later, when my father sees his ancestors, he can raise his head proudly. Although his abilities are limited, he has a good son..."
The more Chongzhen talked, the more excited he became, and Zhu Cixiang even saw tears of excitement in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor.
Seeing Emperor Chongzhen like this, Zhu Cixiang also felt a little sad. Chongzhen loved face most, so it was really rare that he could say these words today.
Seeing that the Supreme Emperor was a little sad, Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly:
"My father and mother have made the greatest contribution..."
Emperor Chongzhen reached out and patted Zhu Cixiang's head gently:
"When did the emperor know how to be so humble? Isn't this your character?"
Zhu Cixi smiled:
"Only the father and mother can give birth to such an outstanding Shenwu Emperor, hehehe..."
Chongzhen was stunned for a moment, then realized and couldn't help laughing;
"This kid, hahaha..."
…
Seeing that the Emperor was amused by him, Zhu Cixi stood up and said:
"Father, follow me and let you see a magical weapon!"
Chongzhen was stunned:
"What artifact?"
"Let's go, we'll see you soon!"
After Zhu Cihong said this, he pulled Chongzhen's robe sleeves and walked out of the lobby.
Seeing Emperor Shenwu and Emperor Taishang come out, Hu Bao and Lao Wang immediately greeted them with smiles and saluted:
"Your Majesty!"
Zhu Cihong nodded to Hu Bao:
"Ask Qi Guangan to send ten artillerymen who are bold and not afraid of heights."
"According to the order!"
Hu Bao received the order and immediately went to find Qi Guangan!
Each battalion of the Protectorate has artillery, but the scale is limited. In addition, there is also a more powerful Royal Artillery battalion.
Qi Guangan is the commander of the Royal Artillery Battalion, and the number of the Royal Artillery Battalion reaches 5,000.
The Royal Artillery Battalion possesses the most advanced artillery and firearms of the Ming Dynasty, among which the most advanced firearm is the Maokang Shenjian.
Soon, Qi Guangan personally hurried over with a group of artillerymen from the general flag:
"Your Majesty, I will bring you a general artillery piece!"
Zhu Cixiang originally only wanted ten people, but Qi Guangan brought more than fifty people. He looked at Qi Guangan and said:
"Go to a remote and open place immediately. I want to test an artifact!"
"According to the order!"
Qi Guang'an immediately mounted his horse and led the way, followed by Zhu Cixiang and his personal guards. More than a hundred people went straight to an empty place on the outskirts of the city.
After arriving at the place, Qi Guangan dismounted his horse and saluted:
"Your Majesty, what do you think of this place?"
Zhu Cixi looked around and then nodded:
"Okay, it's right here. You guys wait here for a while. I'll be back as soon as I go!"
Before Zhu Cixi finished speaking, he walked towards a small forest nearby and waved. Two hot air balloons appeared next to the small forest. He shouted to Qi Guangan and others:
"Come here, take these two artifacts out, be careful not to damage them!"
"According to the order!"
Qi Guangan and Yue Yang immediately ran over with people and saw two things on the ground that they had never seen before. They hurriedly and carefully moved the two hot air balloons away from the grove.
Zhu Cixiang had no choice but to take out small things quietly, but in front of more than a hundred people, taking out two hot air balloons with bare hands would frighten Qi Guangan and the others...
Zhu Cixiang first took out several hot air balloon instructions and handed them to Qi Guangan, and then personally led the artillerymen to study how to use the hot air balloon...
Zhu Cixiang redeemed the hot air balloon at this time, which was of course used for the reconnaissance of Rufeng Mountain.
He wanted to use a hot air balloon to detect the troop deployment of Jiannu on Rufeng Mountain and the location of Jiannu's artillery positions.
The earliest hot air balloons were used for aerial surveillance.
The "rosin lamp" was invented in my country during the Five Dynasties period more than a thousand years ago.
Later it was also called "Kongming Lantern" and was used for signal communication. It was the earliest and most primitive hot air balloon in the world and the originator of modern hot air balloons.
Although the ancient Chinese "Kongming Lantern" can be said to be the earliest hot-air balloon in the world, the first person to use hot-air balloons to realize the human dream of "taking off" was in France.
The success of the French Montgolfier brothers' manned balloon flight quickly attracted the attention of the French military.
In 1789, the French Army established the world's first balloon force for use in the Franco-Austrian War.
In 1794, France first used tethered balloons to send officers into the air to conduct reconnaissance of enemy positions during the Battle of Floras, setting a precedent for the use of manned aircraft for military purposes.
After the balloon rose to 550 meters, the officer notified the ground command station of the situation through a semaphore.
Because he could clearly see the enemy's situation from his high position, and the enemy didn't even know what a balloon was.
They thought it was a monster sent from heaven, and the French army won easily.
Later, it was used for a wider range of purposes, including air raids, atmospheric sampling, etc. If you like the Ming Dynasty, the prosperous age begins with the Prince Supervising the Kingdom, please collect it: (https://www.myxls.net) The Ming Dynasty, the prosperous age begins with the Prince Supervising the Kingdom, search and read the novel network update speed
