When Jin Feng was still in Donghai, he realized that the war would start soon, so when he came back, he finished handling the affairs in the village and immediately devoted himself to the iron smelting workshop.
The steam engine has a simple structure, and the biggest problem for Jin Feng is the piston cylinder and boiler room.
But as a doctor of science and engineering, he knew the role of power machines very well, so he started the relevant preparation work a long time ago.
The batch of equipment that was sent to Donghai with a full warehouse was the first-generation product.
Jin Feng has not directly produced steam engines during the recent period. Instead, he has left other accessories to Mancang, and he has led Wan Heming to improve the piston cylinder production line.
It took Jin Feng a lot of time to improve the production line, but after the improvement of the production line was completed, more than a dozen piston cylinders were made in one day, and the quality was much better than those temporarily made on the ship.
The piston barrel can be mass-produced, and other accessories are not a problem.
So in just a few days, Jin Feng, Mancang and the others were able to produce more than a dozen small steam engines.
The volume is smaller than before, the accuracy is higher, and it saves more fuel.
Tang Dongdong took the fire-resistant cloth made by a female textile worker and brushed it with oil several times, and the sealing quality was improved to a higher level.
That night, Guan Xiaorou did not come to capture Jin Feng and went back to carry out the inheritance. She worked hard all night and finally built twelve new airships at dawn.
After the sun came up, the airship slowly took off carrying the supplies and flew northwest.
Before the soldiers and horses move, food and fodder should go first. Any time there is a war, food and fodder are the top priority.
When the Zhenyuan Army first went to Xizhou, they set up many stations along the way to protect the grain road.
When the airship docks at any station, it can replenish supplies.
The airship is much faster than walking. It set off that morning and arrived at the front line in the middle of the afternoon.
The pilot leading the team this time is still an Eagle.
He and Tieniu were old partners. When they met, he punched Tieniu and asked, "Tie Niu, are you ready?"
"I prepared it yesterday and have been waiting for you!"
Tieniu returned the eagle's punch: "Next, let's show the Dangxiang people how powerful the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau is!"
…
Early the next morning, Tieniu led five hundred black-armored escorts and rushed directly into Dangxiang territory.
Dangxiang has also been paying attention to the movements of the Zhenyuan Army. On the day Tieniu and the others set off, the news spread back to Dangxiang King City.
But I heard that Tieniu only brought 500 people. From Emperor Dangxiang to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no one took it seriously.
Even if they already knew about the existence of airships.
"A mere five hundred people dare to break through. Jin Feng really doesn't know how high the sky is and how high it is!"
Emperor Li Jishan of Dangxiang sneered: "Send an order to Heisa and Lei Tuo to kill these reckless guys and send the leader's head to make a wine glass for me!
If you let the enemy escape, send their heads over to make wine glasses!"
Heisa and Lei Tuo were the two tribal leaders closest to the death squads. After receiving orders from Li Jishan, they immediately organized their own troops to intercept the death squads.
However, under the indiscriminate bombardment by airships, their proud cavalry was vulnerable to a single blow.
Let’s not talk about the soldiers. The horses, which had never experienced the explosion of flash bombs and grenades, instantly became a mess. No matter how much the knight tried to comfort them, it was useless.
When Tieniu led the death squad, he directly penetrated the enemy formation with his solid armor, killing countless enemies!
…
In the next few days, under the cover of airships, any party troops that blocked their way were quickly defeated.
The death squads were unstoppable, marching at a fast pace all the way, and the party members did not even have time to organize troops to stop them.
Seven days later, the death squads arrived at their destination—Dangxiang King City!
Emperor Dangxiang and the Manchu dignitaries were beaten to death, but they never expected that the death squad, with only 500 people, would reach their royal city in the hinterland so quickly.
From the emperor to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, everyone was blocked in the royal city by death squads.
After all, the death squads only have 500 people. They are not afraid of any enemy in the vast grassland desert, but once they enter the Dangxiang King City and start a street battle with the enemy, they will have no advantage.
Instead of letting the death squads enter the city, Tieniu asked Eagle to take the airship and go to the royal city to make a speech.
The eagle asked the airship to lower its altitude and shouted with a tin trumpet:
"Li Jishan, listen to me, your royal family is greedy and has repeatedly invaded our Dakang border. Last year and this year, we launched two southern expeditions in succession, invading our Dakang territory and bringing painful disasters to our Dakang people. I, the Dakang Imperial Guard, have
Mr. Wang Jinfeng gave you the opportunity to repent, but you didn’t cherish it!
My husband is kind and will give you one last chance to leave the city and surrender before noon tomorrow!
If you don't come out by noon, I will blow up your royal city!"
In the Tangxiang Palace, Emperor Li Jishan and a group of ministers hid under the eaves, looking up at the airship in the sky.
"Is this the hot air balloon from Zhenyuan Escort Agency?"
"No, this is Jin Feng's new airship? Not only can it fly, it can also move at will!"
"How come Jin Feng always makes such messy things?"
"Now is not the time to think about this, let's discuss how to deal with the enemy!"
…
The prime minister scolded the talking ministers and turned to look at Emperor Li Jishan: "Your Majesty, the enemy has arrived outside the city. What should we do next?"
"What else can I do? Do you really want me to leave the city and surrender?"
Li Jishan glanced at the prime minister coldly.
"I don't dare!" The prime minister was so frightened that he quickly bowed and admitted his mistake.
"Put your heart back in your stomach. I have sent people to know about Jin Feng's grenade. One grenade can only explode into one piece. How many grenades can they bring with them when they come from afar? It will only blow up two squares. If you want
To blow up my royal city is just a wishful thinking!"
Li Jishan was not only comforting the ministers, but also comforting himself.
"Yes, yes, these people are coming all the way. The grenades should be almost exhausted!"
The prime minister knew that he had just said something wrong, so he quickly agreed with the emperor to make amends.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw a small black dot falling from the airship that was shouting.
"where is that?"
Li Jishan was old and his eyesight was not very good. He could only see a small black dot falling, but could not see clearly where it landed.
"Your Majesty, that's the Royal Garden over there." The eunuch next to him quickly replied.
"That's good, that's good!" Li Jishan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
There are generally no people in the Royal Garden, so even if you throw some grenades, it will be fine.
But how did he know that what the eagle dropped was not a grenade at all, but a special explosive bag!
A moment later, a distant explosion resounded throughout the capital!
Then, a huge mushroom cloud soared from the Royal Garden and shot straight into the sky!
The entire Dangxiang City seemed to have experienced an earthquake, shaking violently.
Several walls within the palace were collapsed!
A rockery tens of meters high in the Imperial Garden was directly razed to the ground!
