Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter
Chapter 661 Hot Air Balloon, God's Punishment!
Chapter 661 Hot Air Balloon, God's Punishment!
"God descended from heaven?"
Huang Degong was dumbfounded.
They are currently in Chuxiong, thousands of miles away from Shenglong through the mountains, how did they get there?
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "In a land of thousands of miles, it is indeed difficult to cross mountains and ridges, but what if you fly over?"
"Fly over?"
Huang Degong was suddenly overjoyed: "Yuanfu, you mean."
Zhang Haogu nodded: "During this period of time, the Academy of Engineering has improved the flying ball a lot. Now the flying ball can carry ten people and fly hundreds of miles."
"This pavilion ordered the skilled craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River to make hundreds of flying balls under the guidance of the bachelors of the Academy of Engineering. Now [-] flying balls have been sent to the camp."
"But don't worry, the army will advance normally, you just need to wait for the opportunity."
Zhang Haogu knew very well that flying balls are different from airships. Flying balls need to be familiar with the speed and direction of high air currents in order to move with the help of air currents.
Nowadays, there are not many people with such experience in the Ming Dynasty. Since Zhang Haogu wanted to train an air force of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Haogu ordered Huang Degong to experiment in the south of the Yangtze River. Now there are only a few hundred people who are familiar with flying balls and can operate them.
These hundreds of people can be said to be the first batch of air force seedlings in Ming Dynasty.
In the days that followed, Zhang Haogu issued military orders one after another. Qin Liangyu, Lang Pingning, Zhao Yuqi, and Han Yaowei led troops to attack one after another. The Ming army began to counterattack the Annan barbarians on a large scale. Cooperating with the imperial court's battle, Jin Yiwei attacked everywhere to take down those chieftain officials who disobeyed orders. In wartime, there is no need for too much kindness, and those who disobeyed orders will be executed.
Now the people in Yunnan are suffering from the scourge of the Annan barbarians, coupled with the inaction of the Duke of Guizhou and the chieftain, the people in Yunnan no longer obey the orders of the Mu family and the chieftain. After two years of good life, now that the imperial army is here, it is naturally following the imperial court's will.
With the assistance of the people of all ethnic groups in Yunnan, Zhang Haogu's orders became more smooth. The four generals led the army to stop the barbarians. They fired all their firearms and coordinated with the cavalry's attack, not only stopping the barbarians from advancing, but even recapturing many cities.
Seeing this, Annan directly dispatched their elephant soldiers, trying to use the elephant soldiers to cooperate with the rattan armor soldiers to break up the battle formation of the Ming army.
There are tall war elephants with sharp knives tied to their long tusks, rattan armor that blocks swords and swords, and several brutal soldiers with bows and arrows standing in bamboo boxes on their backs.
This war elephant is tall and mighty, and it shakes the mountains when it charges. Compared with cavalry and war elephants, it is like a neon bean chariot meeting a heavy tank. You can't stop them from running over.
However, the Ming army had no intention of using cavalry against war elephants at all.
Qin Liangyu watched with his own eyes that the new army put out one after another fire dragon bombs. Facing the shaking heads of the charging elephants, one after another fire dragon bombs roared and flew out to explode.
These fire dragon bombs exploded among the war elephants. The loud explosion and hot flames made the war elephants panic, and they did not listen to the command of the elephant soldiers on their backs.
Beasts are afraid of fire, even ordinary flames, let alone these explosive fireballs?
Moreover, when a fire dragon bomb explodes, even an elephant with rough skin and thick flesh will be blown to bloody flesh and even fall to the ground directly. These war elephants cannot withstand the explosive power of the fire dragon bomb at all.
With the explosion of dragon bombs one after another in the elephant herd, the war elephants were completely startled. The war elephants out of control showed the wildness of animals. The fleeing war elephants began to run in other directions. Annan's army was trampled by his own war elephants in a war. Hundreds of war elephants charged desperately. The sharp knives on the ivory were like a harvester harvesting wheat in Annan's army formation. The wanton slaughter and the rampage of the elephant herd made Annan's army into chaos!
Seeing the opportunity, Qin Liangyu immediately led the army to charge. Her white soldiers were indeed rare spearmen. Seven thousand white soldiers took the opportunity to chase tens of thousands of barbarians and fled, forcing these barbarians to jump up and down and had to hide in the forest.
Qin Liangyu, who was victorious in the First World War, took the opportunity to break into Yuanjiang Mansion, echoing Zhao Yuqi's soldiers and horses.
Zhang Haogu looked at the frontline battle report with a calm expression.
It’s true that the imperial court ignored the impact of rain and snow on firearms, not to mention the arrows of hundreds of tigers running together, the arrows of leopards running horizontally, and the arrows of long snakes breaking through the formation. Fire dragon bombs are stored in dry wooden boxes with hay to insulate them from moisture. They will only be used in war, and there are special personnel responsible for taking care of them on weekdays.
Even ordinary muskets have special moisture-proof measures. If a little rain makes the firearm useless and unable to fight, then why is the court fighting?
Since the imperial army entered Yunnan, they have been fighting the Annan rebels in Yunnan for more than a month, and there is not much time left until Zhang Haogu said that the war in the southwest will be pacified in March.
But Zhang Haogu is still not in a hurry. Huang Degong's magic battalion is training the control and familiarity with the flying ball. Three thousand magic soldiers are training day and night, waiting for the order to dispatch, and Zhang Haogu is also waiting for the opportunity.
Finally, Zhang Haogu waited for the weather he wanted.
"Yuanfu, according to our research on weather and time, there must be a southeasterly wind tonight, and this wind will last for three days."
Zhang Haogu who got the report flashed a bright light in his eyes: "The southeast wind for three days?"
"Tell General Huang."
Afterwards, Huang Degong hurried to the big tent: "Yuanfu, are you going to mobilize troops?"
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Today is the time for you to attack."
"This pavilion has ordered the soldiers to clear the forests on the nearby hills for you. Is the Shenbing Battalion ready for battle?"
Huang Degong stood upright, and hammered his chest with his right hand: "Yes!"
Zhang Haogu nodded his head: "Assemble the Divine Army Battalion, this pavilion will personally do it for you!"
In the middle of the night, on the top of Nan'an Mountain in Chuxiong Mansion, the place was cleared by the soldiers of the new army to a flat ground, not to mention the trees, even the weeds and gravel were cleared away.
Five hundred flying balls have been prepared, and three thousand soldiers of the Shenbing Battalion will take the flying balls, carrying kerosene tanks, gunpowder bags and other explosives, and head southeast down the wind to Thang Long. The drama of divine soldiers descending from heaven.
In this battle, Zhang Haogu not only intends to clean up the barbarians in Yunnan, he also wants to take down Annan and restore Annan to the province of Ming Dynasty!
Without a resident in Western Ocean, how can the imperial court control Western Ocean?
And what to deter the nations?
At that time, Emperor Chengzu conquered the country of Annan, destroyed the country and set up counties and counties, and the surrounding small countries all proclaimed their vassals. Jiao Zhi also became the big hand of the Ming Dynasty to control Southeast Asia. The team traveled all the way to the Indian Ocean.
Zheng He's voyages to the West and the conquest of Annan are complementary to each other. If any point is lost, Chengzu's original intention will be misunderstood, and it will also affect the court.
Now the Ming Dynasty does not have a navy like that of Chengzu's time, but Zhang Haogu can take Jiaozhi first and lay the foundation for the court here.
Three thousand soldiers of the Divine Army Battalion were all ready to go, Zhang Haogu held the wine and said, "Today, this pavilion is for you all."
"The kings will cross the mountains and rivers and fly to Shenglong. This is an unprecedented feat. It must be remembered in the annals of history and leave a name through the ages."
"My lords, drink to win!"
The soldiers all drank the wine and smashed the wine bowls: "Da Ming wins!"
Huang Degong is also on the flying ball, he is the general, he wants to lead the team himself, watching a flying ball cut off the cable and take off to the southeast with the wind flow, Zhang Haogu watched the formation of five hundred flying balls The team, like fireflies, appeared and disappeared in the air, and gradually disappeared.
"This battle must be recorded in the annals of history. There is no way to use troops like this in the ages." Huang Zongxi sighed. Before this, who would have thought that soldiers and horses could fly across thousands of miles without facing the obstacles of mountains and rivers. What about on top of your head?
But now, this scene has actually come true!
Divine soldiers descended from heaven!
Being able to personally participate in such an attack that is destined to be remembered in the annals of history, Huang Zongxi can hardly hide his excitement now.
In Kunming City, the Mu family already knew about the arrival of the imperial army. Looking at the panic-stricken clansmen, the Chen family seemed very calm: "What's the hurry?!"
"So what if the imperial army is here?"
"This is Yunnan's lofty mountains, blocked by rivers and rivers, and Annan's 15 troops are at his side. If the imperial court wants to deal with it, it will also deal with Annan, and will it deal with us?"
"When the imperial court is exhausted from dealing with Annan's army, don't you still have to rely on me? Otherwise, I will rely on Annan and encircle and suppress the imperial army with Annan. When the time comes, the river will be blocked and the gates will be guarded. Let's see what the imperial court can do to us! "
Chen's words can be regarded as temporarily calming the hearts of the Mu family members.
Yes, so what if the imperial army is here?
How can the imperial army adapt to the terrain of Yunnan?
Let them waste in the mountains!
Not only the Mu family is extremely optimistic, but Annan's officials are even more confident.
Li Weiqi received a military report from the front, saying that the army had captured half of Yunnan, and was preparing to attack Menghua, Dali and other places. Seeing that Yunnan was only left in the circle around Kunming, how could Annan's monarchs and ministers not be optimistic? Not confident?
When are you not confident and when are you confident?
The victory is about to be won, isn't it too much to open a glass of champagne at halftime?
Therefore, in order to celebrate the upcoming annexation of Yunnan by the Dai Viet Kingdom, under the advice of the ministers, Li Weiqi held a big banquet and entertained the ministers. Everyone sang and danced together to celebrate a victory that had never been seen in 200 years.
Li Weiqi was happy, the officials were happy, but the people in Annan were not happy.
At the beginning of the war, the people were still happy.
But as the war ended, the people had nothing to say, and they had to bear heavy taxes to provide money and food to the Annan court.
However, the nobles and gentry in Annan did not pay a single grain of rice, and had to apportion more taxes to the people of Annan.
This war has become a good opportunity for the Annan nobles to make a fortune from the war.
What should Annan do if he has no money and food?
Ask the people to apportion!
What should I do if the reward silver for the imperial court to reward the army is not enough?
Ask the people to apportion!
It is thousands of miles away from Shenglong to Yunnan, the road is difficult and dangerous, what should we do with the grain and grass escort?
Find the common people to pull strong men!
The people in Annan really sold their livers and blood for Annan, while the nobles in Annan took the opportunity to make a fortune, and even forced the people to pay taxes and food, forcing many people in Annan to sell themselves as slaves with nothing, and they continued to annex these The people's land is full of oil.
The aristocrats and officials in Annan were full and full of food, but the people in Annan were impoverished, their families were ruined, and there were many people who sold their sons and daughters. The land at home suddenly became the fields of the nobles and officials. How many people were forced to exile into the army, and I don’t know how many people had nothing and even became tenants themselves.
Moreover, the food and gold and silver treasures looted in Yunnan were embezzled by the generals of the army. Not only did they take a share, but the noble officials of Thang Long also wanted that share, and the soldiers kept it privately. It is up and down, devouring wealth.
Take this five-day banquet as an example, what if the court has no money?
Annan's ministers are very skilled in raising taxes and apportioning them.
After all, the imperial court has won a big victory, and you mud-legged people are about to live a good life. What's wrong with paying more money for the lords and nobles to enjoy?
Therefore, the people in Shenglong City could not escape the tax increase and apportionment, and a large sum of money and food was embezzled by the nobles and officials, and the share that was given to Li Weiqi was not as much as the nobles and officials.
But Li Weiqi didn't care, he was still dreaming of restoring the Dai Viet Kingdom!
The banquet lasted for three days and three nights. All kinds of wild game and wild delicacies were put on the banquet, and delicious food and wine could be seen everywhere. Annan's beauties twisted their postures to perform dances for Li Weiqi and the nobles. Li Weiqi and the nobles raised their wine glasses and laughed.
I won!
They have won the Ming Dynasty!
The army is about to hit Dali, and the Ming Dynasty has not responded yet!
The whole of Yunnan is going to be the territory of Dayue Kingdom!
What to do next?
Is it to appease the people in Yunnan who suffered from military disasters and plunder, or to amnesty the world and exempt the people in Annan from heavy taxes?
neither!
Of course, it is to continue to collect money, collect food and grass, and then continue to play music and dance!
In the palace of Shenglong, Li Weiqi and his officials were sensual and indulgent, and the whole palace was full of delicious food and wine, which made the hungry people in Shenglong City secretly hate them. They were almost unable to eat, but the king and Nobles are so extravagant!
The uneatable food, even the uneaten food, was put on the table and thrown away. Countless food was poured into the slop bucket and thrown out of the palace. The people in Thang Long City were already furious. !
The people are starving to death, and the nobles are still in the wine pool and meat forest. Are you so proud of defeating Daming? !
It was another night of singing and dancing, the contrast between the brightly lit palace and the gloomy and silent Shenglong City was so obvious that even Huang Degong, who was in the sky, spotted this bustling royal city.
He ordered the flying balls to start to descend slowly, and the surrounding flying balls also slowly descended after seeing this, one after another, a piece of flying balls began to descend, drifting towards the location of Thang Long King City.
But at this time, Li Weiqi held the beauty up and down with one hand, and drank freely with the wine glass in the other: "My loves!"
"My country of Yue has now won Yunnan, and the next step is Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Guizhou!"
"Sooner or later, the southern part of the Ming Dynasty will belong to my country of Dayue!"
Imagining the beautiful scene after occupying those prosperous areas in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, the officials couldn't help but get excited.
Ming Dynasty!
The prosperous and powerful Ming Dynasty!
How prosperous and beautiful was the southern part of the Ming Dynasty?
Slender and graceful beauties, refined and silky satin, and that luxurious big house, garden attic in the south of the Yangtze River, palace city
Thinking of this, Annan's officials were extremely excited, wishing to fly to the prosperous and beautiful Ming Dynasty on the spot and take all of them for themselves!
"Ming Dynasty is vulnerable!"
"Hahahaha, the land of Yunnan has made my country of Great Yue extremely rich. If we take over the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, then my country of Great Yue can rule the world, and even reach Jinling and even Peiping!"
"Now our country's morale is booming, our soldiers are fine and food is sufficient, and an army of 15 is enough to sweep the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty. The prosperous mountains and rivers should belong to our country!"
"That's right! Your majesty is divine, holy and martial, with the aura of a dragon. You can worship the sky and ancestors in Jinling today, and declare that our country of Da Yue is the orthodox world!"
Hearing the compliments from the ministers, Li Weiqi also laughed out loud. He really wanted to go to Jinling to worship the heavens and ancestors, and then establish the Dayue Dynasty and rule the world.
In the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains were prosperous and magnificent, he wanted it so much!
Just as Li Weiqi and the officials were laughing and singing and dancing, Huang Degong's flying team had already reached the sky above Shenglong City. Looking at the silent Shenglong City and the brightly lit palace below, Huang Degong took out a kerosene tank and lit it. Then just threw it down.
The burning kerosene tank fell from the air on the wall of the royal city, igniting a flame, which made the surrounding Annan soldiers a little surprised, where did the fire come from?
Suddenly, a soldier raised his head and shouted in horror: "You guys, look at the sky!"
"God's punishment! God's punishment!"
The Annan soldiers around couldn't help looking up, and saw that the moon in the sky had been covered by a black shadow at some point, and it seemed that there were only a series of sparks flickering, and these sparks were constantly spitting out flames, and the place where the flames fell was the royal city!
When one flying ball dropped the kerosene tank, the rest of the flying balls began to drop the kerosene tanks one by one. Five hundred flying balls dropped a series of kerosene tanks and gunpowder bags. One after another!
God's punishment is coming!
Boom boom boom!
The explosion in Wangcheng alarmed Li Weiqi, he looked at the officials in surprise, thinking that someone wanted to rebel somewhere.
As a result, the guard rushed in with a disgruntled face: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the punishment of heaven has come!"
"what?!"
"What punishment?!"
"What's the situation? Where did the explosion come from?!"
Annan's ministers were stunned, Heavenly Soldiers?
What's happening here? !
Li Weiqi was half-drunk, he pushed the beauty in his arms away: "I am destined by fate, I want to see what kind of punishment, dare to come in front of me!"
As he said that, Li Weiqi walked to the entrance of the hall. Before he could step out, an explosive package dropped from the sky and exploded. Immediately, the flames and shock waves of the explosion hit his face, and Li Weiqi was blown away.
The Annan officials around hurried forward, shouting for Li Weiqi.
Fortunately, Li Weiqi was just thrown into the air, and he didn't suffer any harm, but such a collision made Li Weiqi sober.
He rushed out of the palace and looked out, only to see that his entire royal city, whether it was the royal palace or the outer city, was on fire at this time, people were crying and fleeing in panic, and the falling from the sky The fireball exploded, turning the entire Thang Long into a sea of flames.
The city walls were blown apart, the houses were blown down, and all parts of the royal city were ignited by these fireballs one by one. The scorching flames rushed to the face, and the people burned by the rolling heat wave had difficulty breathing.
Li Weiqi stared at this scene dumbfounded, looking at the fireballs falling continuously in the dark night from the sky, and murmured:
"God's punishment, God's punishment is coming"
(End of this chapter)
"God descended from heaven?"
Huang Degong was dumbfounded.
They are currently in Chuxiong, thousands of miles away from Shenglong through the mountains, how did they get there?
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "In a land of thousands of miles, it is indeed difficult to cross mountains and ridges, but what if you fly over?"
"Fly over?"
Huang Degong was suddenly overjoyed: "Yuanfu, you mean."
Zhang Haogu nodded: "During this period of time, the Academy of Engineering has improved the flying ball a lot. Now the flying ball can carry ten people and fly hundreds of miles."
"This pavilion ordered the skilled craftsmen in the south of the Yangtze River to make hundreds of flying balls under the guidance of the bachelors of the Academy of Engineering. Now [-] flying balls have been sent to the camp."
"But don't worry, the army will advance normally, you just need to wait for the opportunity."
Zhang Haogu knew very well that flying balls are different from airships. Flying balls need to be familiar with the speed and direction of high air currents in order to move with the help of air currents.
Nowadays, there are not many people with such experience in the Ming Dynasty. Since Zhang Haogu wanted to train an air force of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Haogu ordered Huang Degong to experiment in the south of the Yangtze River. Now there are only a few hundred people who are familiar with flying balls and can operate them.
These hundreds of people can be said to be the first batch of air force seedlings in Ming Dynasty.
In the days that followed, Zhang Haogu issued military orders one after another. Qin Liangyu, Lang Pingning, Zhao Yuqi, and Han Yaowei led troops to attack one after another. The Ming army began to counterattack the Annan barbarians on a large scale. Cooperating with the imperial court's battle, Jin Yiwei attacked everywhere to take down those chieftain officials who disobeyed orders. In wartime, there is no need for too much kindness, and those who disobeyed orders will be executed.
Now the people in Yunnan are suffering from the scourge of the Annan barbarians, coupled with the inaction of the Duke of Guizhou and the chieftain, the people in Yunnan no longer obey the orders of the Mu family and the chieftain. After two years of good life, now that the imperial army is here, it is naturally following the imperial court's will.

There are tall war elephants with sharp knives tied to their long tusks, rattan armor that blocks swords and swords, and several brutal soldiers with bows and arrows standing in bamboo boxes on their backs.
This war elephant is tall and mighty, and it shakes the mountains when it charges. Compared with cavalry and war elephants, it is like a neon bean chariot meeting a heavy tank. You can't stop them from running over.
However, the Ming army had no intention of using cavalry against war elephants at all.
Qin Liangyu watched with his own eyes that the new army put out one after another fire dragon bombs. Facing the shaking heads of the charging elephants, one after another fire dragon bombs roared and flew out to explode.
These fire dragon bombs exploded among the war elephants. The loud explosion and hot flames made the war elephants panic, and they did not listen to the command of the elephant soldiers on their backs.
Beasts are afraid of fire, even ordinary flames, let alone these explosive fireballs?
Moreover, when a fire dragon bomb explodes, even an elephant with rough skin and thick flesh will be blown to bloody flesh and even fall to the ground directly. These war elephants cannot withstand the explosive power of the fire dragon bomb at all.
With the explosion of dragon bombs one after another in the elephant herd, the war elephants were completely startled. The war elephants out of control showed the wildness of animals. The fleeing war elephants began to run in other directions. Annan's army was trampled by his own war elephants in a war. Hundreds of war elephants charged desperately. The sharp knives on the ivory were like a harvester harvesting wheat in Annan's army formation. The wanton slaughter and the rampage of the elephant herd made Annan's army into chaos!
Seeing the opportunity, Qin Liangyu immediately led the army to charge. Her white soldiers were indeed rare spearmen. Seven thousand white soldiers took the opportunity to chase tens of thousands of barbarians and fled, forcing these barbarians to jump up and down and had to hide in the forest.
Qin Liangyu, who was victorious in the First World War, took the opportunity to break into Yuanjiang Mansion, echoing Zhao Yuqi's soldiers and horses.
Zhang Haogu looked at the frontline battle report with a calm expression.
It’s true that the imperial court ignored the impact of rain and snow on firearms, not to mention the arrows of hundreds of tigers running together, the arrows of leopards running horizontally, and the arrows of long snakes breaking through the formation. Fire dragon bombs are stored in dry wooden boxes with hay to insulate them from moisture. They will only be used in war, and there are special personnel responsible for taking care of them on weekdays.
Even ordinary muskets have special moisture-proof measures. If a little rain makes the firearm useless and unable to fight, then why is the court fighting?
Since the imperial army entered Yunnan, they have been fighting the Annan rebels in Yunnan for more than a month, and there is not much time left until Zhang Haogu said that the war in the southwest will be pacified in March.
But Zhang Haogu is still not in a hurry. Huang Degong's magic battalion is training the control and familiarity with the flying ball. Three thousand magic soldiers are training day and night, waiting for the order to dispatch, and Zhang Haogu is also waiting for the opportunity.
Finally, Zhang Haogu waited for the weather he wanted.
"Yuanfu, according to our research on weather and time, there must be a southeasterly wind tonight, and this wind will last for three days."
Zhang Haogu who got the report flashed a bright light in his eyes: "The southeast wind for three days?"
"Tell General Huang."
Afterwards, Huang Degong hurried to the big tent: "Yuanfu, are you going to mobilize troops?"
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Today is the time for you to attack."
"This pavilion has ordered the soldiers to clear the forests on the nearby hills for you. Is the Shenbing Battalion ready for battle?"
Huang Degong stood upright, and hammered his chest with his right hand: "Yes!"
Zhang Haogu nodded his head: "Assemble the Divine Army Battalion, this pavilion will personally do it for you!"
In the middle of the night, on the top of Nan'an Mountain in Chuxiong Mansion, the place was cleared by the soldiers of the new army to a flat ground, not to mention the trees, even the weeds and gravel were cleared away.
Five hundred flying balls have been prepared, and three thousand soldiers of the Shenbing Battalion will take the flying balls, carrying kerosene tanks, gunpowder bags and other explosives, and head southeast down the wind to Thang Long. The drama of divine soldiers descending from heaven.
In this battle, Zhang Haogu not only intends to clean up the barbarians in Yunnan, he also wants to take down Annan and restore Annan to the province of Ming Dynasty!
Without a resident in Western Ocean, how can the imperial court control Western Ocean?
And what to deter the nations?
At that time, Emperor Chengzu conquered the country of Annan, destroyed the country and set up counties and counties, and the surrounding small countries all proclaimed their vassals. Jiao Zhi also became the big hand of the Ming Dynasty to control Southeast Asia. The team traveled all the way to the Indian Ocean.
Zheng He's voyages to the West and the conquest of Annan are complementary to each other. If any point is lost, Chengzu's original intention will be misunderstood, and it will also affect the court.
Now the Ming Dynasty does not have a navy like that of Chengzu's time, but Zhang Haogu can take Jiaozhi first and lay the foundation for the court here.
Three thousand soldiers of the Divine Army Battalion were all ready to go, Zhang Haogu held the wine and said, "Today, this pavilion is for you all."
"The kings will cross the mountains and rivers and fly to Shenglong. This is an unprecedented feat. It must be remembered in the annals of history and leave a name through the ages."
"My lords, drink to win!"
The soldiers all drank the wine and smashed the wine bowls: "Da Ming wins!"
Huang Degong is also on the flying ball, he is the general, he wants to lead the team himself, watching a flying ball cut off the cable and take off to the southeast with the wind flow, Zhang Haogu watched the formation of five hundred flying balls The team, like fireflies, appeared and disappeared in the air, and gradually disappeared.
"This battle must be recorded in the annals of history. There is no way to use troops like this in the ages." Huang Zongxi sighed. Before this, who would have thought that soldiers and horses could fly across thousands of miles without facing the obstacles of mountains and rivers. What about on top of your head?
But now, this scene has actually come true!
Divine soldiers descended from heaven!
Being able to personally participate in such an attack that is destined to be remembered in the annals of history, Huang Zongxi can hardly hide his excitement now.
In Kunming City, the Mu family already knew about the arrival of the imperial army. Looking at the panic-stricken clansmen, the Chen family seemed very calm: "What's the hurry?!"
"So what if the imperial army is here?"
"This is Yunnan's lofty mountains, blocked by rivers and rivers, and Annan's 15 troops are at his side. If the imperial court wants to deal with it, it will also deal with Annan, and will it deal with us?"
"When the imperial court is exhausted from dealing with Annan's army, don't you still have to rely on me? Otherwise, I will rely on Annan and encircle and suppress the imperial army with Annan. When the time comes, the river will be blocked and the gates will be guarded. Let's see what the imperial court can do to us! "
Chen's words can be regarded as temporarily calming the hearts of the Mu family members.
Yes, so what if the imperial army is here?
How can the imperial army adapt to the terrain of Yunnan?
Let them waste in the mountains!
Not only the Mu family is extremely optimistic, but Annan's officials are even more confident.
Li Weiqi received a military report from the front, saying that the army had captured half of Yunnan, and was preparing to attack Menghua, Dali and other places. Seeing that Yunnan was only left in the circle around Kunming, how could Annan's monarchs and ministers not be optimistic? Not confident?
When are you not confident and when are you confident?
The victory is about to be won, isn't it too much to open a glass of champagne at halftime?
Therefore, in order to celebrate the upcoming annexation of Yunnan by the Dai Viet Kingdom, under the advice of the ministers, Li Weiqi held a big banquet and entertained the ministers. Everyone sang and danced together to celebrate a victory that had never been seen in 200 years.
Li Weiqi was happy, the officials were happy, but the people in Annan were not happy.
At the beginning of the war, the people were still happy.
But as the war ended, the people had nothing to say, and they had to bear heavy taxes to provide money and food to the Annan court.
However, the nobles and gentry in Annan did not pay a single grain of rice, and had to apportion more taxes to the people of Annan.
This war has become a good opportunity for the Annan nobles to make a fortune from the war.
What should Annan do if he has no money and food?
Ask the people to apportion!
What should I do if the reward silver for the imperial court to reward the army is not enough?
Ask the people to apportion!
It is thousands of miles away from Shenglong to Yunnan, the road is difficult and dangerous, what should we do with the grain and grass escort?
Find the common people to pull strong men!
The people in Annan really sold their livers and blood for Annan, while the nobles in Annan took the opportunity to make a fortune, and even forced the people to pay taxes and food, forcing many people in Annan to sell themselves as slaves with nothing, and they continued to annex these The people's land is full of oil.
The aristocrats and officials in Annan were full and full of food, but the people in Annan were impoverished, their families were ruined, and there were many people who sold their sons and daughters. The land at home suddenly became the fields of the nobles and officials. How many people were forced to exile into the army, and I don’t know how many people had nothing and even became tenants themselves.
Moreover, the food and gold and silver treasures looted in Yunnan were embezzled by the generals of the army. Not only did they take a share, but the noble officials of Thang Long also wanted that share, and the soldiers kept it privately. It is up and down, devouring wealth.
Take this five-day banquet as an example, what if the court has no money?
Annan's ministers are very skilled in raising taxes and apportioning them.
After all, the imperial court has won a big victory, and you mud-legged people are about to live a good life. What's wrong with paying more money for the lords and nobles to enjoy?
Therefore, the people in Shenglong City could not escape the tax increase and apportionment, and a large sum of money and food was embezzled by the nobles and officials, and the share that was given to Li Weiqi was not as much as the nobles and officials.
But Li Weiqi didn't care, he was still dreaming of restoring the Dai Viet Kingdom!
The banquet lasted for three days and three nights. All kinds of wild game and wild delicacies were put on the banquet, and delicious food and wine could be seen everywhere. Annan's beauties twisted their postures to perform dances for Li Weiqi and the nobles. Li Weiqi and the nobles raised their wine glasses and laughed.
I won!
They have won the Ming Dynasty!
The army is about to hit Dali, and the Ming Dynasty has not responded yet!
The whole of Yunnan is going to be the territory of Dayue Kingdom!
What to do next?
Is it to appease the people in Yunnan who suffered from military disasters and plunder, or to amnesty the world and exempt the people in Annan from heavy taxes?
neither!
Of course, it is to continue to collect money, collect food and grass, and then continue to play music and dance!
In the palace of Shenglong, Li Weiqi and his officials were sensual and indulgent, and the whole palace was full of delicious food and wine, which made the hungry people in Shenglong City secretly hate them. They were almost unable to eat, but the king and Nobles are so extravagant!
The uneatable food, even the uneaten food, was put on the table and thrown away. Countless food was poured into the slop bucket and thrown out of the palace. The people in Thang Long City were already furious. !
The people are starving to death, and the nobles are still in the wine pool and meat forest. Are you so proud of defeating Daming? !
It was another night of singing and dancing, the contrast between the brightly lit palace and the gloomy and silent Shenglong City was so obvious that even Huang Degong, who was in the sky, spotted this bustling royal city.
He ordered the flying balls to start to descend slowly, and the surrounding flying balls also slowly descended after seeing this, one after another, a piece of flying balls began to descend, drifting towards the location of Thang Long King City.
But at this time, Li Weiqi held the beauty up and down with one hand, and drank freely with the wine glass in the other: "My loves!"
"My country of Yue has now won Yunnan, and the next step is Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, and Guizhou!"
"Sooner or later, the southern part of the Ming Dynasty will belong to my country of Dayue!"
Imagining the beautiful scene after occupying those prosperous areas in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, the officials couldn't help but get excited.
Ming Dynasty!
The prosperous and powerful Ming Dynasty!
How prosperous and beautiful was the southern part of the Ming Dynasty?
Slender and graceful beauties, refined and silky satin, and that luxurious big house, garden attic in the south of the Yangtze River, palace city
Thinking of this, Annan's officials were extremely excited, wishing to fly to the prosperous and beautiful Ming Dynasty on the spot and take all of them for themselves!
"Ming Dynasty is vulnerable!"
"Hahahaha, the land of Yunnan has made my country of Great Yue extremely rich. If we take over the southern part of the Ming Dynasty, then my country of Great Yue can rule the world, and even reach Jinling and even Peiping!"
"Now our country's morale is booming, our soldiers are fine and food is sufficient, and an army of 15 is enough to sweep the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty. The prosperous mountains and rivers should belong to our country!"
"That's right! Your majesty is divine, holy and martial, with the aura of a dragon. You can worship the sky and ancestors in Jinling today, and declare that our country of Da Yue is the orthodox world!"
Hearing the compliments from the ministers, Li Weiqi also laughed out loud. He really wanted to go to Jinling to worship the heavens and ancestors, and then establish the Dayue Dynasty and rule the world.
In the Ming Dynasty, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains were prosperous and magnificent, he wanted it so much!
Just as Li Weiqi and the officials were laughing and singing and dancing, Huang Degong's flying team had already reached the sky above Shenglong City. Looking at the silent Shenglong City and the brightly lit palace below, Huang Degong took out a kerosene tank and lit it. Then just threw it down.
The burning kerosene tank fell from the air on the wall of the royal city, igniting a flame, which made the surrounding Annan soldiers a little surprised, where did the fire come from?
Suddenly, a soldier raised his head and shouted in horror: "You guys, look at the sky!"
"God's punishment! God's punishment!"
The Annan soldiers around couldn't help looking up, and saw that the moon in the sky had been covered by a black shadow at some point, and it seemed that there were only a series of sparks flickering, and these sparks were constantly spitting out flames, and the place where the flames fell was the royal city!
When one flying ball dropped the kerosene tank, the rest of the flying balls began to drop the kerosene tanks one by one. Five hundred flying balls dropped a series of kerosene tanks and gunpowder bags. One after another!
God's punishment is coming!
Boom boom boom!
The explosion in Wangcheng alarmed Li Weiqi, he looked at the officials in surprise, thinking that someone wanted to rebel somewhere.
As a result, the guard rushed in with a disgruntled face: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the punishment of heaven has come!"
"what?!"
"What punishment?!"
"What's the situation? Where did the explosion come from?!"
Annan's ministers were stunned, Heavenly Soldiers?
What's happening here? !
Li Weiqi was half-drunk, he pushed the beauty in his arms away: "I am destined by fate, I want to see what kind of punishment, dare to come in front of me!"
As he said that, Li Weiqi walked to the entrance of the hall. Before he could step out, an explosive package dropped from the sky and exploded. Immediately, the flames and shock waves of the explosion hit his face, and Li Weiqi was blown away.
The Annan officials around hurried forward, shouting for Li Weiqi.
Fortunately, Li Weiqi was just thrown into the air, and he didn't suffer any harm, but such a collision made Li Weiqi sober.
He rushed out of the palace and looked out, only to see that his entire royal city, whether it was the royal palace or the outer city, was on fire at this time, people were crying and fleeing in panic, and the falling from the sky The fireball exploded, turning the entire Thang Long into a sea of flames.
The city walls were blown apart, the houses were blown down, and all parts of the royal city were ignited by these fireballs one by one. The scorching flames rushed to the face, and the people burned by the rolling heat wave had difficulty breathing.
Li Weiqi stared at this scene dumbfounded, looking at the fireballs falling continuously in the dark night from the sky, and murmured:
"God's punishment, God's punishment is coming"
