Chapter 78 King Pingxi, jump down! (Please collect, please read and vote monthly)
A large piece of grassland outside Xianmen Pass has now been enclosed by wooden fences, and heavily armed Eight Banners soldiers patrol it. The surrounding area has become a military restricted area.
In the center of this restricted area, on a large open lawn, eight extremely large oval-shaped Flying Dragon III airships were placed side by side, one next to the other.
Beside these eight Feilong Type 3 airships, hundreds of Hu craftsmen were busy building barracks, warehouses, and ammunition using wood pulled from the nearby mountains under the command of a few mixed-race banner men wearing Taoist priest clothes and waving whisks.
Library, watchtower.
They have been busy for some days and have now built about a dozen wooden houses that look a bit sparse, and more wooden houses are being built.
Hundreds of people in yellow jackets formed a small square formation in an open space next to the eight airships. Everyone looked up at the sky - of course not observing the celestial phenomena, but looking at a scene hundreds of kilometers in the sky.
A floating Feilong III airship.
While watching, they also made comments.
"I really didn't expect that our big golden navy could actually go to heaven!"
"That's right. There are also naval forces in the sky. Of course, the navy can take care of the affairs of the sky."
"Is there a navy in the sky? Where can I find it?"
"The book says that there are one hundred thousand naval forces in Tianhe, and there is also a naval admiral named Marshal Tianpeng!"
"Ah, Zhu Bajie in "Journey to the West"! It is Zhu Bajie's errand that we, King Ping Xi, who co-wrote it, do!"
"That's right, Zhu Bajie is a god, and he can also fly!"
"Didn't our King Pingxi fly into the sky? Do you know how good it feels to fly into the sky? There are so many tall people in the sky that they are about to fall down."
"Stop talking nonsense, you are cursing the prince!"
It turned out that Da Jin Ping Xi Wang Wu Zhenzhen was in the cabin of the airship floating in the air at the moment. He was glaring at a pair of copper bell-like eyes, looking at him sitting opposite him in horror, holding a cylinder in his hand.
Zhuge Weidao of Bilong Dao opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to say a few words: "Consultant Zhuge, you want me to jump from such a high airship? I will fall to death. Consultant, I, Wu Zhenfa and
You have no grudges, you can't harm me like this!"
Zhuge Weidao smiled and waved his hand, "Wu Shangshu, don't be afraid. You are Batulu, the Minister of the Navy, and you have won the trust of the Emperor of Jin. You have received the favor of the Emperor of Jin in this world, and you should die ten thousand times to repay it. Now.
This is your chance to repay your kindness and serve your country, you have to be brave!"
"What kind of opportunity is this?" Wu Zhenzhen shook his head like a rattle, "Jump so high, how can you serve the country like this if I fall to my death?"
"If you can't fall to death, how can you fall to death?" Zhuge Weidao pointed to a "big baggage" placed on a small table between the two of them, and said with a smile, "This is a folded parachute. You can carry it on your back."
When you jump with a parachute, just pull the rope buckle and the parachute will open. At that time, the resistance of the air will support the parachute, which will also support you hanging on the parachute. In this way, your falling speed will be slowed down.
Slowly, if you fall slowly, you will not fall to your death."
After saying this, he looked at Ling Zongjun and Wang Wen standing next to him, and asked with a smile: "Zongjun, Jinxue, which one of you will perform a parachute jump for King Pingxi?"
Ling Zongjun is now the captain of the airship team and the captain of the airship.
And Wang Wen is the communications officer of this airship - the airships of the Ming Dynasty are all "manned ships integrating surveillance and attack", and they are equipped with high-tech radio stations, which can send enemy information discovered with telescopes to the rear by wireless telegrams.
's headquarters.
Both of them had received pretty rough parachute training (parachute training in this era was as rough as skydiving training), and of course they knew how crazy it was to jump from a good airship!
But their immediate boss, Zhuge Weidao, didn't care at all that in order to execute a key sneak attack, several or even dozens of Eight Banners soldiers were killed. Their deaths must be valuable, and at least they could help Zhuge Weidao improve the design of the parachute.
Wu Sangui's precious descendant, Wu Zhenzhen, was the general chosen by Daoguang to carry out a crucial surprise attack from the sky.
Of course Daoguang would not choose the wrong person. This guy is indeed very powerful. Although he is a prince, he has no interest in studying or cultivating immortals. When he was thirteen years old, he dropped out of school and joined the army and joined the army of Emperor Dajin. This Dajin
The country is not as comfortable as the Qing Dynasty, and there is no stability anywhere outside the Xianmen Pass. Therefore, the emperor's guards also bear the responsibility of the rapid reaction force. Wherever there is trouble to be solved, they are often the first to go up.
And this Wu Zhenzhen has been in the army for more than 20 years, experienced hundreds of battles, and often took the lead, achieved many military exploits, and even earned himself the title of Batulu. Therefore, this "macho man from heaven" has a good job.
It has to be him.
But no matter how brave he is, it's normal to be afraid of skydiving. Someone has to jump to show him.
"I'll do it!" Wang Wen opened his mouth and accepted the task assigned by Zhuge Weidao - Ling Zongjun was his superior, how could he let his superior take risks?
Zhuge Weidao smiled and nodded: "Okay, after the dance, I will record a merit for you!"
Only with merit can you be promoted!
During the training, no merit was recorded for skydiving, but now we are performing parachute jumps in front of the Minister of the Navy of the Kingdom of Jin. Of course, if you do a good jump, you will receive merit.
Then Zhuge Weidao asked Ling Zongjun to take the parachute bag and put it on Wang Wen, and then buckled a pull ring on the parachute bag directly to a lever in the cabin.
The propeller of the airship did not rotate, but just hovered a few hundred meters in the air, fluttering in the wind. Zhuge Weidao and Wu Zhenfa stood at the window on the side of the airship cabin, waiting to watch the parachute jump.
At this time, Ling Zongjun had opened the cabin door, and the cool wind from high in the sky rushed in, making a "boom, boom, boom" sound. Ling Zongjun shouted loudly: "Wang Jinxue, you can jump!"
"Okay!" Wang Wen shouted, gritted his teeth and stomped out of the airship's hatch. The buckle of his parachute bag had long been hung on a tie rod in the cabin, so as soon as he jumped out, the parachute
I got out of the umbrella bag, and in just a blink of an eye, a white umbrella flower bloomed in the sky.
Seeing the umbrella flower, Zhuge Weidao breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Wu Zhen: "King Pingxi, have you seen it? This umbrella falls very slowly, and the people hanging on it are very safe. Just be careful when landing.
, don’t sprain your foot. You shouldn’t be scared now, right?”
Wu Zhenzhen stared at the parachute until it slowly fell to the ground. Not only was Wang Wen hanging underneath fine, but he could also hurriedly pack up the parachute. Then he laughed: "This is amazing. An airship can at least squeeze in."
If there are twenty people, ten airships will equal 200 people. Although it is not many, the terrain of Afghanistan and northwest India is mountainous. Hahaha!" King Pingxi suddenly laughed, then turned to Zhuge Weidao and said: "Advisor Zhuge,
You are truly worthy of being the Queen of King Zhuge Wuzhong, Wu admires you!"
Zhuge Weidao smiled: "It's just a parachute drop. My lord, since you know how to use this parachute, there is no need to parachute today. Let's go back and train again before jumping!"
Calcutta, East India Company Governor's Palace.
Baron Amherst was sitting in a small conference room with an excited face, holding several copies of the telegram he had just received in his hand, looking at a few thinly dressed people sitting at a long table.
A general in navy or army uniform laughed loudly and said: "Everyone, good news, the good news I just received is that our neighbor to the northwest, Emperor Daoguang, has really sent troops. According to our troops in Bukhara, Samarkand, and Khwara
According to reliable information provided by friends in Zimo and other places, Emperor Dajin has sent envoys to Bukhara, Samarkand, Khwarezm and other places to summon troops and food, and go to the camp on the north bank of the Amu Darya River.
The emperor has mobilized a large number of troops and food supplies, and it looks like he is ready for a big fight!"
"Baron," Earl Nelson, who had only one arm, frowned, "you call this good news?"
"This is only part of the good news!" Baron Amherst laughed. "Our representative in Peshawar also received a secret letter from Dost Muhammad Khan of Afghanistan. He wants to betray Daoguang!"
