Yang Hui, others, and Wang An were all excited when they saw the hot air balloon floating in the sky, with bright smiles on their faces and grinning from ear to ear.
The scene before me is really amazing!
Wang An pointed at the hot air balloon and said to Jiang Ning: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, look, it's really flying!"
Jiang Ning nodded, these were all part of his plan, "Well...but don't be too happy, I want one that can carry people, and this one is just a prototype version!"
Wang An heard this, put away his smile, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I will make it successfully!"
"Okay..." Jiang Ning responded, then returned to the palace without staying in the Production and Supervision Department. He was still very relieved about Wang An's work.
I thought that when the hot air balloon that could hold people was successful, it would be the time to cross the Mingguan River in one fell swoop.
In order to stabilize the military morale of Shi Gandang and others, Jiang Ning immediately wrote a handwritten letter and ordered it to be sent to Shi Gandang and others...
After more than a month, the letter arrived in Shi Gandang's hands.
After seeing the contents, he was shocked and exclaimed on the spot, "Great, great... Your Majesty wrote a letter saying that there is a way to cross the Mingguan River!"
Lei Yi was equally surprised when he heard this, "Really...really?"
Shi Gandang said firmly: "Really, I believe in Your Majesty!"
Lei Yi was also convinced of Emperor Wu's ability, "That's great! I will pass on the order and let the soldiers actively prepare for war!"
"Okay..." Shi Gandang said in a deep voice and narrowed his eyes, "This time, we must take down Nanhuang!"
"yes!"
As a result, Shi Gan's troops began to train troops.
That's right, they want to cross the Mingguan River in full glory.
At the same time, at the southern end of the other side of the river, in the Southern Dynasty military camp.
Xu Mingdong was feasting and drinking wine. After months of confrontation, he finally realized that Wu Chao's army only had three axes. Apart from being able to shoot arrows, they didn't dare to do anything else.
Therefore, I am somewhat proud...
Xu Mingdong had been tense as a string for several months, and he was able to let go today. He said: "Prime Minister, it seems that I have a high opinion of the Wu Chao army. They are not very good!"
"Ha ha……"
"In addition to shooting arrows every day, I don't know if they are annoyed or not. To be honest, I feel annoyed for them!"
Gongsun Hong smiled and said, "What your Majesty said is absolutely true, but then again, after all, the Wu Dynasty has extraordinary combat power and should not be underestimated!"
"If we push them into a hurry and really start to intensify their efforts on the Mingguan River, then the gains outweigh the losses!"
Xu Mingdong laughed proudly, "Haha... Prime Minister, you think too highly of them now! If they dared to force the crossing, I'm afraid they would have passed by long ago and wouldn't have waited until now!"
"what do you think?"
Gongsun Hong felt that there was some truth in it, "It's also..."
Xu Mingdong smiled, "I'm happy today and don't want to talk about anything else!"
Gongsun Hong was very obedient and stopped talking about fighting.
Drink with Xu Mingdong.
In no time, the wine was over three rounds and the food was over five...
Gongsun Hong saw that Xu Mingdong was drunk and said quickly: "Your Majesty, you are already drunk. Don't drink anymore. Drinking too much will harm your health!"
Xu Mingdong shouted and wanted to drink, but was stopped by Gongsun Hong.
In this way, he helped Gongsun Hong to the wooden bed and took good care of him.
A few days flew by.
Now, the northern and southern armies have completely different morale. One is as powerful as a rainbow, giving people the feeling that it can crush all directions.
One is a state of decadence and laziness.
That's right, the current military camps in the Southern Dynasties are completely like stragglers, with no soldiers at all.
The biggest reason was that Xu Mingdong was negligent in management, drunk all day long, and proudly ridiculed the Wu Dynasty.
Even Gongsun Hong did not expect that after Xu Mingdong ascended the throne, his whole temperament changed drastically... The things he did became more and more ridiculous, and they completely lost the original business calculation! His current state is very similar to
I met a man who suddenly became rich and became a little twisted!
Perhaps, the indulgence is directly related to the fact that he has been suppressed for many years!
Gongsun Hong naturally couldn't watch Xu Mingdong sink. He came to see Xu Mingdong in the military tent and bowed respectfully.
Xu Mingdong saw it and said casually: "The Prime Minister's arrival today is quite unexpected!"
Gongsun Hong responded: "Your Majesty, I came here to say something!"
Xu Mingdong waved his hand, "It's okay to just say it!"
Gongsun Hong nodded, "Your Majesty, you must not drink alcohol anymore. There is a powerful enemy ahead, and the Wu Dynasty army may launch a massive attack..."
Talking and talking.
Xu Mingdong suddenly interrupted, "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I'm not so comatose that I only know how to drink and have fun!"
When Gongsun Hong heard this, he was relieved. It seemed that his worries were a bit unnecessary.
After being reminded by Gongsun Hong, Xu Mingdong suddenly thought of something and stood up and said: "Prime Minister, how is the military training going now?"
Gongsun Hongdao: "Still in training, he is a new recruit after all!"
Xu Mingdong answered, "Let's go...come with me to have a look!"
"yes!"
Wait for Xu Mingdong to arrive at the camp.
After seeing the state of each Southern Dynasty soldier, an unprecedented anger appeared on his face.
These soldiers in front of us are not capable of fighting at all, okay?
If the Wu Chao army really attacked, these people might surrender as soon as possible!
"Prime Minister, this is the soldier you trained?"
Xu Mingdong did not hide his anger.
When Gongsun Hong saw it, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Back...back to Your Majesty, I have already ordered them to train. Who would have thought..."
Xu Mingdong did not punish Gongsun Hong, but said impatiently, "Okay, get up!"
He looked around again and said loudly: "I see that all of you are so energyless. It's really embarrassing to me. From today on, I will train with you. If anyone dares to be lazy for me, I'll see if I don't punish you."
Cut off the head!"
Hearing the sound, the nearby soldiers shivered in fright and knelt on the ground on the spot.
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Nod and bow.
The current atmosphere in the Southern Dynasty's army is one of laziness from top to bottom.
Perhaps, they thought that Mingguan River was a natural chasm and the Wu Dynasty army could not attack it at all.
So I don't really care.
In other words, the military appearance and discipline of the Southern Dynasty cannot be compared with that of the Wu Dynasty. There is a huge difference between them.
Although the Wu Dynasty has not attacked, it is still actively preparing for war and training troops...
At the same time, in the capital, in the compound of the Production and Supervision Department.
A huge hot air balloon successfully took off, carrying seven heavily armed soldiers.
It took a total of two months from miniaturization to shaping, and finally it was successful.
Let the soldiers take off...
After the test was successful, Wang An told Jiang Ning about this exciting moment.
Jiang Ning personally saw it, and after inspection, he ordered Wang An to make 300 military hot-air balloons as quickly as possible, still using the assembly line method...
