Become a feudal king from today

The station was crowded and noisy.

With the development of industry and commerce, Dasong is now becoming more and more dynamic.

The increasing pace of life also makes Dasong people unable to bear spending too much time in transportation, and often choose to take a steam engine to reach their destination.

After chatting with Chang Wei and other ministers for a while, Zhao Xu admired the busy scene of the station for a while, and then headed to the palace under Xu Lie's escort.

The ministers also followed and sat with Zhao Xu for a while.

At this time, Chang Wei thought of something and looked excited, "Speaking of bleeding the Western natives in Tianzhu, we will have a sharp bloodletting tool soon. During this free time, we can build some and equip them for the army."

Zhao Xu laughed softly when he heard this.

When he came back, Tsui Hark mentioned it to him on the way.

In fact, this is not a rare thing, it is an advanced version of a hot air balloon - an airship.

The principle of a hot air balloon is similar to that of a sky lantern, using the buoyancy generated by burning hot air.

The disadvantage is that it has limited buoyancy, cannot carry too much weight, and its movement trajectory is seriously affected by wind.

This means that hot air balloons can only undertake simple reconnaissance, leaflet distribution and other aerial tasks.

As for aerial bombing tasks that require precise dropping, it is basically impossible to undertake.

The airship is different. It no longer needs to heat the air. What it needs is an air bag filled with hydrogen.

Compared to a hot air balloon, an airship is very large, like a ship.

Such a large volume is filled with hydrogen, and its buoyancy is considerable, and a huge pod can even be installed under the air bag.

With the pod, a steam engine and propeller could be installed to generate power.

So, this means that the airship can travel freely in the sky.

But airships also have advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that it is a qualified aircraft. Due to the use of hydrogen airbags and high buoyancy, it can stay in the air for a long time and can also undertake transportation tasks.

Since you can control the direction, you can even go into war.

During World War I, the Germans used airships to bomb London.

In addition, airships can also play a role in laying power lines and can drag wires across valleys, rivers, and dense forests.

The disadvantage is that the speed is very slow and can only be maintained at about 24 kilometers per hour.

Previously, Dasong had always been qualified to build airships.

But since hydrogen can be produced on a large scale and rubber products can be produced, all the conditions for building an airship have been met.

It was also at this time that the R\u0026D Institute implemented the airship as a research and development project.

In modern times, the development process of airships is roughly the same.

The earliest airship began in 1784, but the airship at this time, like the early hot air balloons, was only preliminary and could not be put into use.

It was not until 1872 that the conditions were met, and more formal airships were launched.

And this time is the time when the electric revolution begins.

It is consistent with the current level of development of Dasong.

"When I have some free time, I will go and see the airship of the Research Institute." Zhao Xu said.

When he comes back this time, he can stay in Yancheng for a long time.

After all, in the south, he captured Malacca and the Piao Man Kingdom, which meant that he created a solid defense line similar to Yanguan in the southern region.

This line of defense can be attacked when advanced and defended when retreated, giving him an absolute advantage.

As for the navy of the Sam Kingdom, once the Dasong Navy shrinks its front line and responds specifically, it will be enough to take care of them.

In the direction of Tubo, Ashur is just a guard dog and is nothing to worry about.

When Ma Han's White Tiger Army adapts to the plateau environment, it can be captured.

Not to mention the direction of Beidi.

In short, Dasong now takes the initiative on all fronts.

Tusman is still separated from Dasong by Beidi.

When Chen Hu takes over Beidi and incorporates Beidi's territory into Dasong, it will not be too late to argue with him.

After chatting for a while, Yang Feng suddenly coughed twice.

Liu Fu and Chang Wei understood each other, showed ambiguous smiles, and stood up to leave.

Zhao Xu knew that Yang Feng was giving him some private space, and Yang Susu was pregnant at the moment.

Seeing everyone disappear, Zhao Xu went to the sleeping hall.

Yang Susu, Feng'er and Luan'er had been waiting for him in front of the palace gate for a long time. As soon as he arrived in Jinghai, he sent a telegram to Yang Susu.

Yang Susu and the other two knew about his itinerary.

"My beloved concubines, the king is back." Seeing the three of them, Zhao Xu smiled playfully and opened his arms, hoping to put the three of them into his arms.

Yang Susu gave Zhao Xu an angry look, "His Highness has such a big appetite. You want to eat three in one sitting?"

"Why not? I am in my youth and can be described as a dragon and a tiger." Zhao Xu raised his head, looking proud.

When Luan'er heard this, she covered her mouth and chuckled.

Feng'er boldly gave Zhao Xu a burning look.

Yang Susu said, "His Royal Highness's spirit and strength should be left to the two of them, and I will not accompany you."

While speaking, Yang Susu stroked her slightly raised belly and glanced at Zhao Xu.

"It's more important for the princess, let the two of them take a shower and wait." Zhao Xu joked at Luan'er and Feng'er.

Immediately, he came to Yang Susu and gently stroked Yang Susu's abdomen.

Yang Susu showed a sweet smile at this time, bumped Zhao Xu gently, and acted coquettishly towards Zhao Xu.

Luan'er and Feng'er were made blushing by Zhao Xu.

Knowing her own sense of propriety, Feng'er pulled Luan'er and was about to leave. She winked at Zhao Xu and said, "In that case, I will go and wash up with Luan'er. I won't disturb His Highness and Princess."

After that, the two left.

Zhao Xu chuckled twice and entered the dormitory with Yang Susu.

That night, the two of them talked a lot about each other, and chatted a lot about the gossip after he went south, laughing and joking.

The next day, Zhao Xu went to Wuji Palace and met with Queen Mi and Zhao Heng to talk about the war going south.

After learning that all the countries in the southern region had surrendered to Dasong and became a vassal state of Dasong from then on, Zhao Heng felt very happy and praised Zhao Xu again.

However, it may be due to long-term drunkenness and indulgence. As he grows older, Zhao Heng's energy is obviously not as good as before.

After chatting with Zhao Xu for a while, he said seriously, "Xu'er, my father's health is getting worse day by day. Now he only thinks about taking care of himself. Now he is praising so many vassal countries and paying tribute every year from now on." There are bound to be a lot of things like this, and I’m afraid that my father won’t be able to handle them. Therefore, my father would like to formally honor you. You are still young and full of energy, so that you can show my supreme majesty to the emperor.”

"Your father is telling the truth. He has been planning this for a long time." Empress Mi said at this time.

Zhao Xu was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting such a change.

He looked at Zhao Heng and saw that Zhao Heng's hair was almost completely white, his face was deeply wrinkled, and his speech was weak.

I couldn't help but feel shaken.

Then, he thought that what Dasong would face in the future would be contradictions and conflicts between countries.

This also means that he will directly compete with kings, queens, and emperors of various countries for intelligence and courage.

Perhaps if he acted in the name of Emperor Dasong, it would have more weight and save him a lot of trouble.

So, he nodded.
