Chapter 689: There are many ways to call the direction
The hot air balloon is floating, and everyone is watching. The large Kongming Lantern carries a thousand kilograms of stone, so people can naturally go up.
However, everyone is worried about safety issues. If they fall from the sky, they will fall to death. Now they just watch the fun.
The next day the test location was moved to Xuanwu Lake. There was water here. At the same time, the people from the Prince's Mansion went up and did not let go of the rope.
It felt like there was no wind in the afternoon. The people from the Prince's Mansion asked to try without the rope. Three people stood up and took part of the rope. They adjusted the size of the flames. The hot air balloon rose and was blown by the wind towards the center of the lake. .
There was a steam engine ship buzzing behind it. As a result, the hot air balloon floated all the way to the other side of Xuanwu Lake. After descending, it dropped the rope and was carried by the steam engine ship little by little and flew back from the lake.
"It seems that it is okay to take people to play on the lake. If there is no wind one day, when the operator becomes proficient, we will go up and have a look."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked He smiled at the three pale-faced people from the Prince's Mansion in the basket. It was the first time he went to heaven and he was very scared.
Empress Ma also smiled, "It's very windy on the sea, so you can't fly with a hot air balloon. If the tilt is too serious, the fire will burn to the side.
Ships carry hot air balloons to other people's shores. It’s good to be a lookout.
The horses on the grassland are pulling horses and carrying different things. We will assemble them when the time comes.”
“I’ll call the minister tomorrow. Let's take a look and see what it can do."
Zhu Yuanzhang just thought that hot air balloons were fun and proved that people could fly into the sky, but their military use was limited.
"Your Majesty, you can draw maps." There is an application channel in it.
"Yes, to draw a map, it will be easier to look down from a high place." Zhu Yuanzhang finally found a useful one.
On October 15th, Zhu Yuanzhang went to court. Today was Wangri and a court meeting was held, so a group of civil and military officials were brought to Xuanwu Lake.
Today’s weather is good, and the wind feels lighter than yesterday.
It was still the same three skilled workers. They blew up the hot air balloon, climbed it into the hanging basket, and floated towards the middle of the lake.
When we reached the middle, we dropped the rope and let the boat pull back to the shore without getting down, just floating like that.
The officials looked up and saw that the man was flying into the sky and was blown by the wind.
"Xiaqiu Village's skills are amazing. How did they figure out that the big Kongming Lantern was made of silk paint and glue?"
Zeng Lu, the imperial censor, looked at the hot air balloon and spoke. , the hot air balloon stopped at a height of five feet, with water below.
"Think about it, gentlemen, what would be better for this hot air balloon?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw it yesterday and didn't find it strange.
"Your Majesty, it is useful, very useful, for beacon towers. We have built a lot of beacon towers between the earthen castles. We consider that once Beiyuan comes, the beacon towers will be able to kill a few people after passing on the message." A few.
With hot air balloons, after the beacon fire, they took the hot air balloon and flew high. Maybe they were lucky and could fly to the Ming Dynasty.This way. "
Xu Da's eyes were bright. If the Beiyuan army hits Helin, the Ming soldiers at the beacon tower will undoubtedly die. It will just cost the Beiyuan army more lives.
If possible. Avoiding it is obviously more cost-effective than dying in battle, because the Ming Dynasty has better weapons. If they don't defend the beacon tower, they can defend the earth fortress.
"Father, General Xu is right, the sergeants of the beacon tower. No need to stick around anymore, just run away after setting off the beacon smoke." Zhu Biao nodded.
Tang He also said, "As long as you fly far enough, people from Beiyuan may not be able to find it. When it falls, burn this Fall, or wait for the wind to blow south, the wind will change. "
"Your Majesty" Li Chang said, "The height in the sky is different, and the wind blows back and forth. As long as you keep rising, you will eventually encounter the right wind.
The premise is that it is too high to breathe and it is very cold. Just like the mountains, you need to wear cotton clothes.
The soldiers guarding the beacon in this way are likely to return to where they want to go safely, as long as there is enough fuel. "
"Oh" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked up, "It's like this in the sky. It's the same as in the water. Sometimes the water under the water is opposite to the water above the water." "
"Your Majesty, after this hot air balloon is delivered to the border, the soldiers guarding the beacon must be familiar with it so that they know how high it can fly, and at least don't be afraid. "
Feng Sheng began to think about practical applications. He must practice well to save his life at critical moments.
When Lan Yu saw others saying, he quickly patted his thigh, "There is it in the earthen castle, it is used to deliver Information, Kongming lanterns and kites all send information.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to nod, "It makes sense. Since the wind in the sky always changes, it is really useful to change the wind direction when it rises to a certain height." "
Others now began to re-evaluate the role of the hot air balloon. If you want to fly, you can fly wherever you want. The things flying in the sky are amazing.
"Your Majesty, if With enough numbers, if Beiyuan attacks our earthen fortress, we will directly send flying soldiers to attack their rear. They will not know what is going on, and it will be over.
It’s a pity that taking the initiative to attack is not easy to use. It is easy to be beaten when landing, and there are no other enemies around. Where is Yunnan?”
Xu Da thought of another tactic, and the main force of Beiyuan came out. , riding horses, as soon as they arrived, the Ming army flew to the Northern Yuan Dynasty in a hot air balloon.
The wind must be faster than the horses. The wind in the sky was strong, and the main force of the Bei Yuan army that was waiting to attack would not be able to attack the Ming Dynasty and return. After that, the family was gone.
Then I thought of another enemy, Liang Wang Bo'er, who just wanted to attack Valmi. The terrain in Yunnan was easy to defend and difficult to attack. A good weapon. Now that we have more hot air balloons, it will be easier to persuade King Liang to surrender. His Bei Yuan is nowhere to be seen.
"Send a group of hot air balloon soldiers to persuade him to surrender. Let him see. Look at what good things we have in Ming Dynasty.
Yunnan is a good place. The winter is not very cold. There are people who grow grains and produce three crops a year. In cold places, they produce one crop, but they can rotate crops.
Pepper is said to be grown there, along with some medicinal materials brought by the barbarians.
LocalThe people are suffering. The key is that it is difficult for them to find a mine or something by themselves. What mines are there in Yunnan?"
Zhu Yuanzhang has not wanted to go to Yunnan so far. If he can persuade them to surrender, everyone will save trouble. Isn't it better for the army to do other work? Okay
As he said this, he thought that Yunnan was his own, and the people also belonged to him. If he needed coal or something, he turned to ask the chief.
The chief ""
He glanced at Hanhan and gave a thumbs up in his mind, a powerful village guard is a great person
Last night Hanhan said that as soon as the effect of hot air balloons came out, someone would definitely mention Yunnan, where there is a Liang Wang.
You can mention some things just by mentioning Yunnan, so prepare first so as not to delay things by not being able to answer when the time comes.
"Your Majesty, basic mines are available in Yunnan, as was the case in the previous dynasty. Yunnan began to hand over copper. They had trouble finding ores, and many mines were not found.
If the Ming Dynasty occupied Yunnan, the village could provide a location, and it would be no problem to collect one hundred and eighty thousand jins a year.
In addition, there are also many silver mines. In the previous dynasty, there was more silver than copper, but still abiding by technical limitations, a very small part was mined.
There are so many phosphate rocks used to make matches and fertilizers in Yunnan that they can be found at will.
The coal mines are enough to smelt the copper and silver. The iron ore mines in the former Roros Xuanwei Division are even worse than the iron ore we are digging in that mining area. "
The head of the village told what Hanhan taught yesterday. Isn't it just a mine? What did the last Hanhan say about Panzhihua? What is its name?
