The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 289 New Equipment
After returning to Tanjin, Wen Tianxiang and others immediately started to make arrangements.

The whole army withdrew from Tanjin, scattered to various places below Tengzhou with thousands of people, and broke up into pieces.

The army is divided into the capital command headquarters, with Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue still serving as the chief and deputy commanders, and the armies under it are divided into group army headquarters, and the commanders of each army are still the commanders.In Cenxi, Zhao Dongting did not personally promote the commander of the army, but he also ordered Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue to promote talents in each army to replace the positions of the fallen generals.

Under the army headquarters, it is divided into division headquarters.

The division headquarters is already specific to each branch of thousands of troops.

The division headquarters is under the overall command of the Group Army Headquarters, and the Group Army Headquarters is in turn commanded by the Metropolitan Headquarters.In this way, the military system of the Song Dynasty is almost modern.

In Cenxi, Zhao Dongting personally led the four armies of Tiankui, Tiangang, Tianji, Tianxian and Feilong, with Wu Dingtang as the main force.

Comparatively speaking, the organizational system of these four armies is fairly sound, and more importantly, the generals in the army are all confidantes who were handpicked by Zhao Dongting himself, and they are handy.

This main force can be regarded as the central army, and it must be the main force against the Yuan army.

More than half a month passed quickly.

The Yuan army in Wuzhou City was still resting and there was no movement.

The layout of the Song army has been completely perfected, and post stations between the various group armies and division headquarters have also been set up.

The headquarters of Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue were stationed at the border between Tengzhou and Rongzhou to coordinate the overall situation of the guerrilla forces.

At this time, Zhao Yuluo finally led the Yongzi Army and Gangzi Army under Qiongzhou Army to Cenxi.

Also arriving at the same time as him was Liu Hongyi's food delivery unit.

However, this was not what pleased Zhao Dongting the most. What pleased him the most was the craftsmen of the Ministry of Military Industry who came with the grain transport troops.

They finally manufactured the hot air balloon and brought several samples.

Zhao Dongting met these craftsmen of the Ministry of Military Industry in the government office, and was pleasantly surprised to see that the hot air balloons they made were basically the same as the albums he drew.Then he went outside and saw those craftsmen of the Ministry of Military Industry performing for him a hot air balloon ascending to the sky and changing directions, which surprised him even more.

He was already looking forward to the hot air balloon.

After several craftsmen fell from the sky, he asked again and again: "How many hot air balloons have been created in the Ministry of Military Industry?"

However, the leading craftsman was a bit embarrassed, and replied: "Return to the emperor, now... only this one is made."

Zhao Dongting was stunned and couldn't help frowning, "How could this be?"

The craftsman said bitterly: "This hot air balloon has extremely high requirements on the cloth. The people from the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Sky Army have finally researched this cloth, but the cloth is from spinning and spinning to weaving and oil soaking. To make the finished product, several girls with excellent weaving skills have been busy for more than ten days. Moreover, if you are not careful when soaking in oil, the cloth will be breathable. Master Chaozhong has ordered the dyeing workshops in Leizhou to speed up the production, but , or progress is slow.”

"This……"

Zhao Dongting's excitement just now was like being drenched in cold water, and it was extinguished in an instant.

He originally thought that if there were tens of thousands of hot air balloons, tens of thousands of soldiers would fly over Wuzhou at the same time, and the entire city of Wuzhou would definitely be blown to the ground.But now it seems that this is obviously impossible.

With the current national power of the Song Dynasty, it is impossible to make too many hot air balloons like this, and it will take a long time.

He frowned, and said: "Then you go back with my oral order, let Shangshu Li Qingyun drop the rest of the work in hand, and hurry up to make this hot air balloon."

The craftsmen were surprised and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Shenlong Gun and Thunderbolt Chariot..."

Zhao Dongting waved his hand, "I don't lack Shenlong guns and Thunderbolt cars now, what I lack is this hot air balloon."

The craftsmen stopped talking and quickly took orders.

They didn't dare to think too much about what the emperor was thinking.Anyway, the emperor's order, as long as it is carried out.

After the craftsmen left, Zhao Dongting announced Zhao Da and Zhao Hu.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu came over with doubts, and asked Zhao Dongting, "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

After they became the chief and deputy commanders of the Flying Dragon Army, they were also very busy, and they always had to train the Flying Dragon soldiers during the day.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, the training tasks of flying dragon soldiers treated as special forces are undoubtedly much greater.

Zhao Dongting pointed to the hot air balloon on the square and said, "I want you two to try my newly invented hot air balloon."

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu's eyes lit up immediately, and they hurried towards the hot air balloon like curious babies.

There were thunderbolts, projectiles, and dragon guns in front of them, and now they heard that Zhao Dongting had a new invention, and they couldn't help being elated.

Which of the emperor's inventions is not a big killer?
However, when they ran to the hot air balloon, the two looked left and right, but they were dumbfounded.

Zhao Da blinked and asked, "Your Majesty, how does this thing kill the enemy?"

Le Wuhui couldn't help laughing next to Zhao Dongting.

When he saw the hot air balloon just now, he also had doubts like Zhao Da.It wasn't until he saw the craftsmen flying with hot air balloons that he suddenly realized the role of the hot air balloons.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Zhao Dongting next to him.

It's really hard for him to imagine how the emperor's brain grows. He is also a human being, but why is there such a big gap?

He himself is not a skillful craftsman, but in the past thousands of years, he has never heard of any great craftsman who has made such a thing that can fly into the sky!
This is a real flying sky, not like a master of the rivers and lakes, who briefly leaps to a high place with superb lightness kung fu.

Zhao Dongting walked up to Zhao Da with a smile, stepped into the basket of the hot air balloon, and said, "You two come in first."

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu quickly stepped in, then touched left and started again.

Zhao Dongting patted their hands away, "Don't touch them randomly."

Then he explained to the two of them how to operate the hot air balloon.

After listening, the eyes of the two brothers were shining, Zhao Dazhi yelled, "This thing can really fly into the sky? Your Majesty, let's try it quickly, try it quickly."

The two of them have followed Zhao Dongting for a long time, now that there are no outsiders, they are no longer as cautious as before.

Zhao Dongting smiled and nodded, "Okay, Zhao Da, light the fire. Zhao Hu, you and I will operate this hot air balloon together."

The two brothers couldn't wait, and Zhao Da heard that he was about to light the fire.

Le Wuhui watched from the side, and shouted again and again: "Your Majesty, do you want to try it yourself?"

Although he had just watched the artisans perform with his own eyes, he was still a little worried at this moment, fearing that something might happen.

If a problem suddenly occurs in a hot air balloon at high altitude and it falls down, no matter how skilled a person is, he will be smashed into a pulp, right?

Zhao Dongting knew that Le Wuhui was worried about himself, and said, "Senior, don't worry, I'll try it at a low altitude."

If it is a few meters high or low, with Zhao Dongting's current skill, he still can't fall to his death.

"Your Majesty, don't fly too high!"

Le Wuhui couldn't help but exhort again.

Now, in his eyes, Zhao Dongting is not only the emperor, but also his son-in-law.The sweetheart of his eldest daughter.

Whether it is public or private, Le Wuwei would never want to see the slightest accident happen to Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting and Zhao Hu raised the canvas of the hot air balloon.

Zhao Da was on fire.

As the flames gradually rose, the canvas of the hot air balloon gradually swelled up.

Then, under the witness of Le Wuwei and some soldiers around, the hot air balloon ascended to the sky again.

The soldiers were amazed as if they saw a miracle.

Zhao Dongting can be said to have created the history of flying in this era.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu were so excited that they kept grinning and laughing.

Zhao Dongting watched his feet getting farther and farther from the ground, and suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart.

This is ancient times, and this is Jiangshan.

He slowly closed his eyes, and the energy in his body suddenly surged.At this moment, he really felt where Hu Zhu was.

Looking inside, it seemed that it was still foggy.

Zhao Dongting just wanted to pierce through this layer of fog, as if riding a hot air balloon straight into the sky.

The hot air balloon rose higher and higher.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu were so excited that they even ignored the cries of Le Wuhui under their feet.

Gradually, the hot air balloon is probably hundreds of meters above the ground.

Looking at the feet from such a height, the things below have become a little hazy.

But Zhao Dongting has not yet opened his eyes.

Zhao Da and Zhao Hu were overwhelmed with excitement, but their faces turned pale.

They just feel as if there is no effort under their feet.

However, if they want to fall, they don't know how to operate the hot air balloon.Zhao Dongting didn't tell them just now.

Looking at Zhao Dongting again, they realized that the emperor seemed to have entered some kind of mysterious realm at this moment.

How can this be good?

Brothers Zhao Da and Zhao Hu looked at each other, and they both saw fear in each other's eyes.

The two of them had a slight fear of heights.
