Chapter 237 Landing(1/2)
These businessmen are really miserable!
No one can escape unscathed.
The boy came over and took the document. After looking at it, he shook his head unconsciously: "This total loss is 30 to 50 million taels of silver, right?"
Xiong Dabao, who was discussing, said: "At least, there are so many. If their goods are added, they can reach more than 100 million taels... tsk, the Shiwei people are really fat!"
"Are they so naive?" Liu Mingqi put down the document and sneered: "In this way, who else dares to do business with them, and who dares to believe their credit? In the future, this hot land of business will be completely ruined! Merchants will also curl up within the Jinzhou City. The difficulty of Shiwei people buying and selling things is more than ten times more than just!"
Any sensible person knows that he cannot fish out the waters.
Things like the Japanese invaders, just like the Shiwei people, obviously offended all the merchants. However, America, which is mainly merchants, insisted on dealing with them in the end, it is hard to say whether these big merchants were encouraged.
Of course, it was also the handsome scholar who had not traveled to that time. Otherwise, with a wave of his hand, he would donate twenty little fat people and little boys directly, so that they could bloom brilliant fireworks in the sky of Japan.
Bring it back.
It took the Shiwei people a full fifty or sixty years to cultivate such a prosperous commercial area that is not caring about.
In fact, it is not just the Shiwei people who do business. People from the tribes such as Shiwei, Bohai, Qiyan, Baekje, Japan, etc. all regard this place as a trading base.
Therefore, among those merchants, there are all races, but most of them are Dakang.
Now that the Shiwei coalition forces have been defeated, the people who belong to their own tribe may be more or less compensated in the end, but the Dakang merchants have absolutely no.
Oh, by the way, and the Japanese 25th boy must be miserable.
No one who is a 25-year-old boy has ever had a good ending, but remember it.
"I can't even care about it now, let alone the future." Zhang Qin was always calm: "As long as they can win this battle, everything will come back."
"So, we can't give them all such a large area of land." Liu Mingjing said: "I went to Jinzhou City to let these bastards know that with me, they can't take down Jinzhou City!"
Xiong Dabao was flirting with his mouth and was about to tell his good friends not to brag, and maybe he would run away.
Liu Mingqi here agreed and patted Liu Mingjing on the shoulder, "Yes, Mingjing, this time I will let them know what it means to be a man who is a man and a man who is in a pass!"
Liu Mingjing himself likes fighting on the battlefield. Now that he has such an opportunity, he is of course not afraid at all, just nodded excitedly.
Xiong Dabao and Zhang Qin looked at each other, but they didn't know how to talk about these two brothers.
Of course, the two royal children who were not afraid of death to fight were still very encouraging.
Just look at the Northern Navy here to know.
Every time a large and small ship passes by their ship, everyone will cheer at them and their faces are full of admiration.
Everyone has already known that Liu Mingqi and the others wanted to take the risk of taking a hot air balloon and suddenly landing into Jinzhou City.
The Northern Navy has been back and forth in the sea area here many times, and of course he knows how sinister Jinzhou City is.
When a prince and a prince enter, I dare not say that he has no life, but it is more than enough to have a life of nine deaths.
In this case, they have to risk their lives to go in to rescue Jinzhou City. How can this not be admired by everyone?
Even they didn't feel that they were hard or dangerous.
Think about it!
His uncle is the emperor, and he dares to fight to the death, and is willing to fight to the death. What is your hardship?
The governor of the Northern Navy Zhang Gongli also pointed at his head and promised Liu Mingqi that he would stay here and not go back if he didn't pick them up.
...
There is no time for Liu Mingqi and the others to wait and experiment.
On the night of arrival, when bonfires were burning everywhere on the dock, the Shiwei coalition forces were always preventing the Dakang army from coming ashore, they had retreated to the fleet ten miles away and several hot air balloons rose.
Fang Lei and his assistants are in charge of the hot air balloons.
Liu Mingqi was in the hot air balloon where Fang Lei was, watching him skillfully control the direction and the amount of firepower, slowly drifting towards Jinzhou City.
Jinzhou City is actually dozens of miles away from the port.
However, except for Jinzhou Port, there is no place for ships to berth ashore.
So for the Shiwei people, as long as they control Jinzhou Port, these fleets will not be able to climb ashore, and they will be blocked.
Therefore, for the other coastal locations, they only had dozens of 100 teams patrolling everywhere, and did not take precautions seriously.
The balloon flew very high at the beginning, reaching about three hundred meters.
Many people don’t know the specific value of 300 meters. In fact, it is very simple. One floor is about three meters. The distance of one hundred floors is the current flying height of the hot air balloon.
In ancient times, the sky was always visible to the stars. Although this hot air balloon could still be seen from below, it was impossible for ordinary people to think about manned aircraft.
The vision is better during the day, and maybe you can see it clearly. Now they only think it is a strange animal when they see it.
It is autumn now, and the wind is relatively strong in the northeast. Fortunately, Jinzhou City is surrounded by mountains, and there is no situation where the wind is uncontrollable.
Otherwise, the strong wind is pointing at you and the hot air balloon is like a great saint blown away by a banana fan, and it will not stop it.
Of course, there must also be good control skills here, when to increase the firepower, when to reduce the firepower, when to turn, when to throw away the ballast, etc., all test the technology.
Fang Lei had previously controlled overheated air balloons in many places in Dakang, and had no less than hundreds of experiments. It should be said that the skills are fine.
However, Liu Mingqi also saw that he was obviously trembling.
This is not because of fear or the wind is too strong, but because of his nervousness.
In the next two days, Liu Mingqi will ride the hot air balloon he drove and landed to Jinzhou City.
Once he was improperly operated, crashed, or floated into the military camp of Shiwei people, Liu Mingqi would not be able to survive.
Fang Lei didn't want something like this to happen.
Along the way, Fang Lei focused on looking outside, making various adjustments at any time.
Sometimes nothing happens, but he should also be more familiar with the operation in this environment.
After a while, a few hot air balloons flew over Jinzhou City.
At this time, from the outside, Jinzhou City was covered with darkness, and only the soldiers on the city wall were guarding against the enemy's night attack.
But if you look down from mid-air, you will find that several areas of Jinzhou City have been cleared into an open space, and fires are burning on all sides, showing the open space in the middle.
This method of marking according to the modern airplane runway was of course what Liu Mingqi taught them in the documents before.
For this, Jinzhou City demolished hundreds of houses. The people heard that it was for the use of the rescuers, so they took their own things without saying a word.
Fang Lei and a group of assistants stood up with their own hot air balloons and slowly approached Jinzhou City and descended.
However, in order to prevent the Shiwei people from reacting, the hot air balloon did not drop below 100 meters, but it continued to hover over Jinzhou City, and made various tests and adjustments.
After repeating this for more than half an hour, the hot air balloon went overseas without looking back.
Standing in a yard, Liao Shicong and Zhang Tie reluctantly put down the clairvoyance in their hands.
Although the distance of more than 100 meters is very far, from the perspective of a thousand miles, they can still see the entire hot air balloon very clearly, but they can't see clearly the appearance of the person inside.
To be honest, although the two of them had known for a long time that the hot air balloon was here to check out the spot today and would not really land. They still had a little nervousness and more expectations.
After breathing a long sigh, Liao Shicong said to Zhang Tiedao: "It seems that it can work!"
"Well, although it's very dangerous, I heard that they have experimented many times. Looking at what they were like just now, there should be no big problem." Zhang Tie said in a deep voice, "It's OK... It's OK!"
Liao Shicong had a slight head, "Yes, the city has been besieged for so long, and the casualties are so great. The general morale is not high now! It is really a great encouragement to have them in... Haha, in addition to the magical medicine that can bring back the dead, I am really looking forward to the magical wooden grenade invented by His Highness De! "
Zhang Tie's face has always been very tough.
Hearing the Northeast Governor's words, his face eased a lot: "Duke Yan and his wife have flew back and forth five times in the past two days, transporting a lot of supplies into Ningyuan City. If it weren't for waiting for us and ensuring the safety of the hot air balloons as much as possible, they would have used it long ago! Then we can know the effect in advance."
"Well, since Duke Yan and his friends have done it safely, then Fang Lei and the others can do it." Liao Shicong smiled bitterly: "They come this time, which is an encouragement, and it is also a lot of pressure for us!"
Zhang Tie didn't say anything.
Everything has its pros and cons.
Although Liu Mingqi and the others came, they had to be distracted by them, but they brought so many supplies, especially wooden grenades, which was a timely help to Jinzhou City, and the benefits were naturally far greater than the disadvantages.
...
On that night, all the hot air balloon drivers came to Jinzhou City to take a walk around.
It's an early exercise.
They can also know what needs adjustment and attention during the period so as not to have any problems in the next formal operation.
In addition to material things, Liu Mingyou transported only thirty guards of the Prince De Mansion, but there was a prince and a prince. Even Fang Lei was Alexander, let alone everyone.
But no matter how much pressure everyone is, what should come will definitely come.
At dusk the next day, it was just dark, and the first batch of ten hot air balloons were ready, carrying Liu Mingqi and others, as well as the first batch of supplies, and drifting towards Jinzhou City in a vast way.
There were thirty-seven people in total, and several of them were seriously injured here, but in fact only thirty people could use.
Jinzhou City is more important, so eighteen people were allocated, and the remaining twelve people were led by Liu Mingyou to Ningyuan City.
Fortunately, it is autumn now, and it is completely dark at only 6 or 7 o'clock in the afternoon. Fang Lei is planning to come here twice today to try to transport more supplies into Jinzhou City.
There are a lot of supplies prepared for Jinzhou City. In addition to wooden grenades and weapons, there are also various daily supplies. There are seven transport ships on the ship to carry these.
As long as most of them can enter Jinzhou City, then the defense of Jinzhou City is a major benefit.
