golden scales

There is no other way to respect heaven and Dharma ancestors.

This statement is to say: take the gods as the outside, the ancestors as the inside, the unity of the inside and the outside, and the upholding will not perish. This is the core of Huaxia's belief and the core of Zhou Rites.In the Chongzhen Dynasty, when he met Emperor Wenqing, he paid more attention to the spirits of the ancestors of the gods of heaven and earth.The plaque of "Respecting Heaven and Fazu" hanging high on the Qianqing Palace is the imperial pen that was hung in August of the first year of Chongzhen.

Under the custom that looking at the sun and the moon for a long time is regarded as rude, if you want to reach the sky, you must be cautious.

Fortunately, there is a change of authority, as long as the Tian family allows it, it is not a big problem to stand higher.No matter how high a hot air balloon flies, can it be higher than Mount Tai?If it is a crime to climb ten feet high, what about the mountain people who live on the top of the mountain?Even so, the emperor still felt uncomfortable with the behavior of "climbing to the sky".The emperor was unhappy, and the crown prince, as his son and subject, was obliged to resolve this unhappiness.

Thus, the emperor's license to ascend to the sky was born.

This is also in line with the essence of "Fazu", because the emperor of Ming Dynasty had a tradition of lifting bans for the common people. For example, the various mine bans and salt bans that the courts of all dynasties have held tightly in their hands were all issued to private owners in Daming .He even created the "Second Ancestor" system, which can be regarded as the first case in history.From this point of view, it is not too outrageous to allow the people to ascend to the sky.

Moreover, there was a man named Wanhu who wanted to shoot himself into the sky with a rocket, and he never heard of any government looking for trouble for him.

But as the saying goes, with the certificate in hand, the courage is soaring.As one of the first ten people to get this license, Wang Zhong naturally has his own advantages besides courage.

The first is physical.Wang Zhong has been short and thin since he was a child.Known as "monkey".At first, I thought that no one wanted such a figure to serve as a soldier and eat food. Who knew that not only could he eat food, but he could also be an officer!And that's precisely because of his thin build and low weight.Able to save weight.

The second is good eyesight.Wang Zhong's eyesight is far better than that of the villagers, and he can see faces clearly at a distance of a hundred steps.Although hot air balloon lookouts are equipped with special high-power binoculars, only those with excellent eyesight can maximize the advantages of the equipment.

Last but not least, brains are needed.

Lookouts seem to be able to serve even the blind.but it is not the truth.On a hot air balloon, use a special telescope to observe the distance, and you must be able to accurately estimate the number, distance, speed, and direction of the enemy. These are the basic elements of an intelligence report, and you need to have a certain amount of experience and mathematics. concept.

Moreover, the watchman may face various emergencies on the hot air balloon, and even the fire ignited the airbag... so reasonable response is also an essential training.

Although Wang Zhong has never been on the battlefield to kill an enemy, he has put in a lot of sweat in this regard.

Chang Zhifan soon knew how these hot air balloon soldiers went up and down.

When the hot air balloon was slowly rising into the sky, Wang Zhong flipped into the hanging basket quickly.This hanging basket is made of old vines to form a frame, and then covered with sheepskin.Lightweight and strong, it is not afraid of fire.After Wang Zhong fell into the hanging basket.The coal is sent into the furnace body with a short shovel.Hot air comes out the other end.It is the power that makes the airbag float.

The air bag finally inflated to a certain extent, Wang Zhong twitched the lever, and poured hot oil into the furnace.The flames that shot out were one foot high, and the speed of the balloon's ascension was immediately accelerated.

The ropes attached to the four corners of the gondola had been tied to the beam.Cameo Anchor.In this way, the balloon will not fly away after it is lifted into the air.

Many people are afraid of heights, and many people can't bear to be alone far away from the ground for several hours.Wang Zhong, however, enjoys the pleasure of looking down on all beings—although he dare not say it out loud, it is still a bit of psychological comfort to see people who are originally taller than him look like children.

With the shock of the hot air balloon, Wang Zhong pulled the communication rope, indicating that the lift-off was in place and the telescope could be transported.

The binoculars used by officers in the army are all held in one tube, which can zoom in on distant scenery by about three times.The telescope equipped with the watchman of the hot air balloon is a special large mirror, which is as high as half a person, and is supported by a tripod to prevent the camera from shaking people's eyes and dizziness.This binoculars can pull the scenery up and down a hundred steps to ten steps away, but because it is inconvenient to carry, it is not generally equipped.

Wang Zhong set up the binoculars and put it in front of the camera, and the whole world was closed, only the size of a hole, and immediately let him enter the joy.The commonplace scenery in the past has become strange and full of fun in this magical small hole.

The second lieutenants below did not dare to be sloppy, and checked from time to time whether the rope was too tight or showed signs of slack.Once there is any change, it is necessary to notify Wang Zhong above as soon as possible, and increase the load by loading coal and fire oil, or increase the firepower to create greater lift.

Chang Zhifan looked at it for a while but felt itchy.He looked around, just standing on the top of the Bell and Drum Tower, he could already see the sky. If he went up five feet, what kind of scenery would it be?Thinking about how I didn't even have the qualifications to go up, I felt a little boring.

——If you can be promoted to general, you will have a chance to meet alone, and you can tell His Highness anything you hear.Is it too much to ask for a license?

Chang Zhifan suddenly longed to make military exploits and become a general.However, the general trend in the military now is to mention the military rank but not the military rank. Unless you really make great achievements, you will still be at the original rank.Especially at the level of General Manager Qian and Battalion Officer, they are basically colonels, and there is always an invisible roof covering their heads.

Jingle Bell!

Chang Zhifan was awakened by a crisp bell, and he immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

"Back to the colonel, this is a reminder from Captain Wang to pass on the military information." The second lieutenant beside him replied.

Sure enough, a bamboo tube fell down and was caught by the rope above the heads of the crowd, and jumped up two more times before it settled down, only turning left and right.

A lieutenant stepped forward and raised his hand to take the bamboo tube, and handed it to Chang Zhifan with a paper form: "Colonel, this is the latest news of the hot air balloon lookout, please sign it for the officer."

Chang Zhifan didn't dare to be negligent, signed his name according to the rules, and then unscrewed the bamboo tube and took out the military information inside.On a piece of white paper, I saw the arrangement of Donglu's camp drawn with charcoal, and a row of small characters below: Seventeen chariots and ten chariots have been pushed to the door.

Chang Zhifan was quite surprised that he could see it from such a distance!He suddenly remembered that he had seen a county town on the top of the mountain, and it was vivid in his memory, and he felt quite refreshed with a bird's-eye view of the world.Thinking of this, he even wanted to go up and have a taste.

"How to bring the words up? Shout?" Chang Zhifan asked.

"Colonel, it's very windy up there, you have to cover your head and face with a fur hat, so you can't hear it." The lieutenant said, "Write down what you have to say, and then pass it up in a bamboo tube."

Chang Zhifan understood, first went to the Bell and Drum Tower to find a pen and paper, and wrote down in the same blunt style that he hoped to find the location of Donglu Tun's grain.In addition, he asked the staff to obtain a map of Ningyuan's surroundings, and passed it on together, hoping that Wang Zhong could mark on the map the approximate route of Donglu's exploration of horses.

The Qing army camped in Balipu, which is theoretically eight miles away from Ningyuan City.If you want to find a warehouse or tent for storing food, and find a path for as few as three or five people to enter and exit, it is like threading a needle with a bean-sized light, which hurts your eyes and mind.

Wang Zhong was unexpectedly excited after seeing it.He is willing to freely enjoy the fun of observation, and also likes to immerse himself in the joy of exploration.With Chang Zhifan's "order", Wang Zhong had an excuse not to come down, until he couldn't hold back his urgency, just turned over and slid down along the rope anchor.

The succeeding lieutenant managed to climb onto the gondola, and he was still breathing, when Wang Zhong was already below and was anxious to change.

Chang Zhifan got Wang Zhong's hand-drawn drawing, and his mind returned to the battlefield again.With these eyes that see everything from above, he suddenly discovered that fighting can be so simple.

"Zhao Wei!" Chang Zhifan returned to the war room and shouted loudly, "Call the detective."

In the army, it is customary to refer to the heads of horse inspectors as inspectors, which means that they are extremely respected regardless of their official positions.

The inspector of the headquarters did not need to go out in person, and soon arrived in the war room.

Chang Zhifan took out Wang Zhong's hand-painted map of the Donglu camp, threw it on the table seriously, and said, "Inspector, can you get rid of the rushing carts and shield carts here?"

The inspector used to be in Yulin who did not accept him at night, and he has never been convinced that the special investigation camp can enjoy such a high salary.Look at what they are doing, isn't it the same as beating the Mongolian Tartars in Yulin back then?Who didn't set fire in the dark?

"It's a piece of cake." The inspector replied, but squinted at the map: "Is this map reliable?"

"Someone saw it with their own eyes," Chang Zhifan said.

"Success!" The inspector took the hand-drawn drawing and said, "I'll take someone to touch it tonight."

"Getting rid of one is one!"

Chang Zhifan thought this was where hot air balloons outperformed cannons, and he felt relieved.Although it is impossible to kill the enemy in front of the battle, it can indeed be regarded as a military weapon if it is able to strike first and seize the upper hand everywhere.

Who knows that Wang Zhong is not limited to this kind of person.Not only did he draw the siege equipment that the Eastern Prisoners had withdrawn from, but he also found a road from Ningyuan City to Balipu, and marked the ambush soldiers that appeared everywhere along the way.These ambush soldiers are secret sentries at night, monitoring the passage, and will raise fire to report any night attack.However, during the day, their vigilance is really not strong, how would they know that someone is watching them above their heads?

As long as the horse detection bureau followed this road, and the ambush soldiers had no time to report, the night attack on the Qing army camp would have been mostly completed.

At this moment, Balipu was still preparing for the next day's strong attack. The Yiying Chong car and the shield car were all assembled and parked in the front of the village, so there was no need to put them away, so as not to delay the attack time.Suohai and Tulai were even more curious about the strange "round hat" that appeared on Ningyuan City, but they never thought that there could be a person hanging from it, and that person was staring at them intently.
