Great Tang princess

Chapter 264 Hang Gliding

For the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, today is a day that will never be forgotten.

Under the emperor's order, they stood at the entrance of the main hall, staring at the Fangtian painted halberd on the roof of Qianyuan Hall for half an hour.

During this period of time, a total of three bolts of lightning fell, and all of them hit the halberd with their strange angles.

This scene made many people's expressions full of surprise. At the same time, they were also thinking in their hearts, is it possible that this princess is really a god who came down to earth, and the fate of the Tang Dynasty should be tied to this princess?
And Li Zhi in the Hall of Renshou smiled and learned about various knowledge about lightning with his daughter, such as not standing under a tree when it rains, and so on.

Although Wu Zetian next to him was reviewing the memorial, it was obvious that most of the attention was also on this side.

Although it was impossible to prove that what Li Yuechen said was true or false, the logic was self-consistent, which made her feel strange.

Although my own daughter also has the identity of a Taoist priest, it seems that she has never had the idea of ​​asking immortals and ghosts when encountering things. She has always been more inclined to find solutions by herself since she was a child.

But maybe it is because of her personality that she can make many amazing inventions.

……

In the blink of an eye, the next day came, and the group of ministers headed by Pei Yan didn't say anything anymore, as if they had tacitly agreed to put the clay pot back.

Of course, it cannot be released in vain. A few days later, in the court hall, Nishu Gen signed a treaty in the name of the Turkic Khan. In the future, he will bow his head to the Tang Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and also raise a large number of cattle and sheep to transport to the Great Tang. Don.

In order to ensure economic development, Li Yuechen did not suppress the price to the death, so that Turks could still make money.

At the same time, they can also barter, allowing them to exchange cattle, sheep and horses for various utensils such as tea, cloth, and iron pots. Except for weapons and armor, other items, they can carry whatever they want, and try to be satisfied.

And the emperor also ordered the border states and counties to open trade channels, and sent troops to ensure the safety of trade between the two sides...

After a series of policies, Ni Shugen himself signed the contract without any complaints.

It's just that when he turned his head to look at Li Yuechen unintentionally, there was still a trace of complexity in his eyes.

It seemed to be a feeling of unwillingness mixed with fear.

The Turks came here for 30 years, just to seize the opportunity to restore the country, but they were completely defeated in just one battle.

Among them, the princess can be said to have contributed a lot.

First, he tore the number one warrior on the grassland under the watchful eyes of everyone, and then used immortal methods to turn the cavalry bomber on his back.

Nishuzhu may never forget the series of explosions. At that moment, the princess's back looked infinitely tall, like a god descending from the earth.

After the signing of the treaty was completed, the clay pottery was put back, and this matter was completely over.

But the atmosphere in the court hall is still very depressing. Now that the princess's rise is unstoppable, I just don't know how the veteran nobles will exert their strength next.

The biggest reason they didn't deal with Li Yuechen was because she was a member of the royal family.

The big families in this era are all based on the interests of the family, and the royal family is no exception, not to mention that Li Yuechen is not a strategist and is not good at hiding herself, so her character has long been seen through by the emperor and this group of people. .

Knowing that she values ​​family affection, conflicts with veteran nobles will happen sooner or later.

Those who can get into the court, none of them are simple characters, they all take one step and watch three steps, so they are now facing Li Yuechen, which can be regarded as planning for the future.

After finishing the muddy matter, Li Yuechen returned to Renshou Hall with his parents, and left after thinking of saying hello.

However, Li Zhi told her not to worry, and to have a cup of tea with him and chat.

Li Yuechen didn't feel any impatience either, and sat down to chat with the couple.

"That day, Chen'er gave an order to Thunder God in the court hall, what kind of result do you think it will cause?" Li Zhi asked, holding up his teacup.

Regarding this question, Li Yuechen was really not sure.

People in this era are right to say that they are in awe of heaven, earth, ghosts and gods, but this does not seem to affect many people becoming historical celebrities, even if they themselves know that the reputation they left behind is not good.

But let's say I'm not in awe, all kinds of sacrificial activities are formal state activities, and they seem to have important meanings.

That day I staged an operation that the emperor ordered the gods to do, but whether they believe it or not is another matter.

Maybe taking this opportunity can change their cognition.

After all, I don't know if there are any gods, but what is certain is that Lightning has nothing to do with Thor.

"Baby think, maybe they will provoke our relationship?" Li Yuechen asked a little uncertainly.

One thing is certain, even if these veteran nobles really think that she is a fairy descended from the earth, they may not lose the courage to challenge her.

Perhaps humans are indeed timid creatures, but when a group of people gather together, it is another matter.

Li Zhi nodded slightly: "Countermeasures are always a time-tested strategy. If you have a good relationship, you may be able to withstand one or two provocations, but it won't last long..."

"Then Grandpa's intention..." Li Yuechen felt that he seemed to be thinking about something important, but he couldn't make it right for a while.

"Forget it, let me think about it again and talk about it when it's over." Li Zhi raised his chin, "Anyway, the days are still long, and with me here, can they still fly to the sky?"

"I don't know if they can, but I'm sure..." Li Yuechen muttered to himself.

Although these words were muttered to himself in a low voice, Li Zhi still heard it, and nodded slightly with a smile: "Okay, then I will wait to see Chen'er fly into the sky!"

In terms of tone, Li Zhi took this sentence as a metaphor, and did not understand it literally.

Li Yuechen didn't bother to explain, anyway, it's only been two days, so it's better to surprise them when it's done.

In this day and age, if a person flies into the sky, it must cause huge repercussions, right?

……

Before returning to the barracks, Li Yuechen decided to go to the newspaper office to say hello and chat with Shangguan Wan'er.

Seeing her coming, Shangguan Wan'er was very happy, poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Your Highness hasn't been here for a long time."

"I can't help it, I'm busy." Li Yuechen pouted, "Is everything okay recently?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is fine." Shangguan Wan'er nodded, "Then Gao Yanfu is good at handling things and can be reused!"

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself." Li Yuechen nodded.

She is also unwilling to interfere too much with this person who has left a legend in history. She doesn't care whether she becomes a female prime minister according to the original history, or a spy chief.

As his friend, Li Yuechen still hopes that she can live her life happily.

It's just that now Li Yuechen basically doesn't care about the affairs of the newspaper, and most of the leading power has been handed over to the emperor invisibly, and Shangguan Wan'er is already a veritable spy chief.

Now the number of spies under the newspaper has far exceeded the period when it was just established, and now basically all the major states and counties on the national official road have branch offices.

From a certain point of view, this is equivalent to radiating to the whole country.

At the same time, Gao Yanfu also organized a group of eunuchs to investigate all the people inside the palace.

Now which eunuchs and maids in the palace may have contacts with which ones outside, basically they have already grasped a close relationship.

Of course, Li Yuechen didn't intend to deal with these people, but to keep an eye on them. At least if there is anything in the palace, he must know its source!

The emperor also meant the same thing. After all, many uneducated eunuchs and court ladies could not be expected to be loyal to the royal family.

Not to mention that many of the eunuchs and maids are family members of criminal officials, who are implicated, and there are probably not a few who have hatred for the royal family deep in their hearts.

……

After returning to the barracks, Li Yuechen immediately ran to the Engineering Academy to check on their progress.

Wang Gangdan and others did not disappoint her. The materials themselves had already been settled, and the only thing missing was the technology.

Now Li Yuechen told them the technology, the construction speed of this skeleton is still very fast, and it is almost finished in a few days.

The only thing that is a bit slow is the steel cable. It is really troublesome to pull out the iron wires and then wind them up.

But seeing that they were making it in an orderly manner, Li Yuechen didn't say much.

Although she can't wait to make it right away, considering the safety issue, it cannot be overstated.

At the same time, he also began to think about hot air balloons tentatively.

Only when the hot air balloon is made can the parachute be developed, and then the airborne troops will be possible...

The most important thing is that these people are used to skydiving, so Li Yuechen is confident in teaching them how to use the hang glider.

Wingsuit flying, hang glider, and parachute are dangerous from high to low.

But in this era without altimeters and AAD, even skydiving, the level of danger will skyrocket!
Therefore, they must be strictly selected and trained before starting to ensure that casualties are minimized.

Although there are death indicators in the special forces, for any force, once the training death rate exceeds 1%, it is unacceptable.

Many people have a misunderstanding that the death rate is not a mandatory requirement that the troops have to train to death every year, but an indicator that the casualty rate must never cross the line in the event of a training accident.

This matter was told by the instructor during the military training.

Especially in this era, it is not easy for these soldiers to train. Li Yuechen did not train them to die, but to ensure their safety as much as possible.

While thinking about it, he walked out of the Engineering Academy and saw Geng Yunqiang waiting outside.

"What do you want me to do?" Li Yuechen asked.

Geng Yunqiang looked forward to it: "Your Highness, are you going to develop new weapons recently?"

Seeing that Li Yuechen had been gathering with people from the Engineering Academy these days, Geng Yunqiang felt a little curious.

Originally, he had no interest in the research and development of new weapons, but since the grenade popped out, his attitude immediately changed [-] degrees.

After all, hot weapons are different from cold weapons. This kind of magical weapon that can kill the enemy in large numbers completely ignited his desire to fight in his bones as a soldier.

Seeing her expectant expression, Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows: "Weapon? It should be considered a vehicle..."

"Vehicle?" Geng Yunqiang boldly used his imagination based on the princess' various previous works, and asked curiously, "But a carriage that doesn't use horses?"

"It's hard to figure out that stuff at least in my lifetime," Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Don't ask so many questions, you will know in two days..."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the princess didn't want to spoil the spoiler, Geng Yunqiang didn't dare to ask more questions, he could only agree, and then asked: "Two days ago, His Highness asked the lower officials to pick some people to be instructors, is it to train others?"

"Well, the saint handed over the right Qianniuwei to me for training. There are a total of 500 people. When the time comes, the three companies of you will each be responsible for 500 people..."

Listening to Li Yuechen's explanation, Geng Yunqiang couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Your Highness, will the left and right Qianniuwei merge in the future?"

"It's hard to say for the time being, but if this system continues to develop, there is still a possibility of merger." Li Yuechen turned his head and said, "You don't have to worry, no matter what, as long as you have military exploits in the future, your treatment will not be bad. .”

"Aren't you worried about this..." Geng Yunqiang, who didn't want to poke, smiled a little embarrassedly.

Li Yuechen raised his eyebrows: "Okay, it's a good thing to want to be promoted, but it's not enough to have this palace value you, you have to show the corresponding skills!"

"Yes! Please rest assured, Your Highness!" Geng Yunqiang saluted bluntly.

"Well, when it's over, go and tell them that a temporary dormitory will be built behind the barracks, at least for the Qianniuwei group to live in first, and the rest... I'll talk about it when it's over." Li Yuechen waved his hand and said to himself left first.

Although they are still a little far from the army in their minds, it is no problem for the Youqianniuwei group to give them training.

……

Time passed day by day, and it was the end of September in a blink of an eye, and the weather began to cool down gradually.

500 people from Youqianniuwei lived in the temporary dormitory and officially started training.

And Li Yuechen, in the courtyard of the Engineering Academy, directed a few slaves to assemble the hang glider with him.

The huge main skeleton was unfolded, and the tiny skeletons were also stuffed into the gaps reserved on the wing surface.

The steel cables were connected little by little, and after a while, a hang glider with a wingspan of more than 13 meters appeared in the courtyard.

There are still two canvas bags hanging on the shelf under the hang glider, only two small tires and the protruding tail frame form a triangular support on the ground.

The craftsmen looked at the assembled hang glider. Although they didn't know what it was for, the instinct of the craftsmen made them guess very well.

Wang Gangdan asked cautiously: "Your Highness, this thing...can't fly into the sky?"

Li Yuechen turned his head and didn't answer his question, but just showed a funny smile.

Then he shook his head again: "Okay, let's dismantle it, put it away tonight, and I will take it out in the palace tomorrow..."

Although she didn't answer, the craftsmen all looked at each other and couldn't help swallowing.
