236. Ready to go

After having enough food and drink, Zhao Dongting started writing and painting under the oil lamp.

He drew the pattern of the hot air balloon and focused on adding four extremely large human fans to the part of the hanging basket below.

There is no way, hot air balloons are heated by fire, and the heating device can only control the height of the hot air balloon. If you want to use hot air balloons to fight, you can't let the hot air balloon float with the wind. At that time, you may not know where to float before you reach the Yuan army's camp.

In this era, there were no other power devices, so they could only rely on manpower.

Although the fan blades will increase the weight of the hanging basket, there is nothing we can do about it.

If you calculate carefully, arrange two people to control the direction and then arrange one person to drop bombs. It should be similar, right?

Zhao Dongting thought to himself that he would probably only find the thin soldiers in the army to work as the air force. A big man like Zhao Da and Zhao Hu would definitely not work. He was big and round and had too heavy waists.

The next day, Zhao Dongting personally sent the detailed pictures of the hot air balloon to the Military Science and Technology Department early.

Now Lei and Qiong are a little bit bigger, and he no longer pays morning court every day. If there is no major event, it is all hosted by Lu Xiufu.

Zhao Dongting also figured it out that he was far inferior to Lu Xiufu in handling many government affairs, so he might as well not join in the fun.

He was very at ease with Lu Xiufu and others.

After seeing the detailed picture of Zhao Dongting's hot air balloon, Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun finally had a general concept of the hot air balloon that Zhao Dongting wanted to make. The hanging basket is easy to make and the heating device is also easy to make. Now the only problem facing them is the balloon. Because the balloon must have excellent sealing and lighter, it is difficult to find such fabric in this era.

However, this is naturally the matter between Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun.

Zhao Dongting handed them the picture, and after a few more words, he returned to the palace to continue practicing the sword.

The civil servants of the people have recruited all the food and grass and arms in Haikang County have begun to be transported to more than ten cities including Wuzhou, Tanjia, Pingnan, etc.

Liu Hongyi's Huanglong Imperial Army was allocated more than 10,000 escorts, and only more than 20,000 soldiers were left in Leizhou.

A few more days later.

There was still no progress in the manufacturing of hot air balloons, and Xu Yuesong and Li Qingyun still failed to find the right fabric. However, on this day, Qiongzhou pacifier Zhao Yuluo finally arrived at Haikang and asked to see Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting met him in the courtyard of the bedroom, and Zhao and Luo said, "Emperor, 20,000 Qiongzhou troops have gone to Wuchuan County!"

Wuchuan County is an intermediate county in Huazhou and is not very far from Haikang County.

It doesn't take long to get from Qiongzhou Coastal Road to Wuchuan. Zhao Dongting knew in his heart that it was time for him to leave Hikvision again.

Two days ago, there were already reports and messages from Kuizhou and Guangnan East Road, and the Yuan army finally set off.

A big war is imminent.

After Zhao and Luo left, Zhao Dongting didn't care about waiting for Xu Yuesong. Li Qingyun and the other two made a hot air balloon and left Hikkam on the afternoon of the same day.

However, he did not rush to Wuchuan immediately, but just took Le Wuchen and others to the Jinlong Temple to see the temple established by Xiao Jin and Li Yuanxiu. Now the two temples on this deserted island have good incense, and the folk people came to worship after hearing the legend of Xiao Jin and Li Yuanxiu.

In the Golden Dragon Temple, Zhao Dongting stayed for dozens of minutes, and then rushed to Benzhou Island. Now, it is more appropriate to call Xianglong County.

Xianglong County has been officially classified under the jurisdiction of Leizhou, and many people have moved to the island to live.

Zhao Dongting was dressed in ordinary costumes. Except for the appearance of the music and mistress, there was nothing else special.

When he arrived at the Yishi Temple outside the original palace in Xianglong County, Zhao Dongting stood in front of the monument for a long time.

Since then, I don’t know how many people in the Southern Song army have sprinkled blood on the battlefield?

What are they for?

All are for one day Zhao Dongting will be able to climb Lin'an City again.

A disabled old soldier who was cleaning in front of the monument noticed Zhao Dongting, who was tragic, looked at him for a long time, finally stepped forward and slowly fell to the ground, "The old soldier Huang Sanzi, the imperial guard in front of the palace, kowtowed to the emperor."

It was almost dusk, and there were no one in front of the Yishi Temple.

Old soldiers like Huang Sanzi were all received by Zhao Dongting when he left Xianglong County, so he recognized them.

Zhao Dongting helped the old man in front of him up and said, "How are you doing on the island?"

The simple words made the old servant Huang Sanzi almost choked, "Okay, very good..."

The emperor did not forget them.

Zhao Dongting looked at the Martyrs' Monument again and said, "When this war comes, if I can win, it will be not far from the day when I take you to the top of Lin'an City."

Although there were many disabled soldiers on Guangnan West Road after leaving Xianglong County, the group of people who were most concerned about Zhao Dongting was Huang Sanzi.

They are not only them, but also shoulder the long-cherished wishes of those souls to fulfill.

Huang Sanzi finally couldn't help but choke.

Time seemed to be frozen at this moment. A emperor, an old soldier, and a martyr's monument that has been passed down for a long time are more desolate.

More and more old men gathered in front of the martyrs' monument.

Later, Zhao Dongting left Xianglong County under the burning clouds all over the sky, and hundreds of soldiers watched him at the ferry, but he did not leave for a long time.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Dongting announced his departure the next day and heading to Wuchuan.

He wanted to join Wuchuan and Zhao and Luo's 20,000 Qiongzhou troops, and then set up defense lines on the way to Wuchuan to Gaozhou, Gaozhou to Cenxi, and Cenxi to Wuzhou before the Yuan army arrived.

Although it is only more than 300 kilometers from Wuchuan to Wuzhou, the journey is inconvenient in this era. It is probably impossible to go around the mountains and go around the real distance of seven or eight hundred kilometers.

Judging from the normal marching speed in this era, it takes more than twenty days to travel seven or eight hundred kilometers.

And this is still the Ma Jun.

However, the Qiongzhou army cannot be all horse army. If the infantry army is combined, it is obvious that the marching speed will be even slower.

If you want to set up camps in all major roads from Wuchuan to Wuzhou, it will be even slower.

Zhao Dongting doesn’t have much time to delay any more.

It will take a while for the army on Yesuer on Kuizhou Road to arrive in Guangxi, but the army of Boyan in Guangdong is not far from Guangxi.

The remaining thunder cannons, Shenlong guns, and ammunition in Haikang County have all taken the lead in sending Liu Hongyi to Gaozhou, Cenxi and Wuzhou.

The Huanglong Imperial Guard who guarded Leizhou still failed to get the rest, because it seemed that there were many firearms, but it still felt that it was not enough after the actual distribution.

This really made Liu Hongyi feel quite resentful.

However, Zhao Dongting promised that the thermal weapons he made from the Military Industry Department would be given priority to the Huanglong Imperial Guard in the future, which made his resentment fade.

Judging from the number of thunder cannons, the configuration of the four armies of Tiankui, Tiangang, Tianji, and Tianxian is not as good as the Tianmeng, Tiangui and other armies commanded by Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue. However, the Shenlong Gun is Tiankui, Tiangang, Tianji, and Tianxian, but the four armies of Tiankui, Tiangang, Tianji, and Tianxian have each sent 1,500 more, nearly a thousand more than the other armies.

There were more thunderstorms in the sky. Except for the 11th Army including Tianmeng and others, the rest were transported to Wuzhou, Cenxi and other cities.

This is not a small number, but a total of nearly 90,000 landmines.

Grenade launchers and artillery shells were left in Haikang County. This is a treasure, and Zhao Dongting dared not let troops other than Feilong soldiers use it at will.

After all, thermal weapons are technological products that surpass this era. If they are circulated, no one can predict what kind of results will be caused.

This is also the reason why Zhao Dongting did not even equip the 20,000 Qiongzhou Army with thermal weapons.

They are not imperial guards, but wing troops.

At night, Zhao Dongting had just practiced the art of room, and Liwu and Zhang Ru left, but Ying Er had no intention of leaving.

Her face turned slightly red, she looked at Zhao Dongting and said, "The Emperor is leaving tomorrow?"

When Zhao Dongting heard her words, he looked at her expression and naturally understood what Ying'er meant.

With Ying Er's personality, it is extremely difficult to say such words.

Zhao Dongting did not plan to take them to Wuchuan. At this time, Ying Er suddenly asked knowingly, would she have to say what she meant?

This time Zhao Dongting left, she didn’t know how long it would take to see Zhao Dongting again!

Seeing Ying Er gradually lower her head, Zhao Dongting whispered: "You can sleep in my room tonight!"

It is obviously not a big deal that Ying'er has been officially appointed as her concubine, and letting her sleep in Lewu's room.

Ying'er was afraid of disturbing him in the sword cultivation, so she didn't come to disturb him, but Zhao Dongting herself felt sorry for her.

No matter what, Ying Er will only be his woman in this life, right?

Who has ever heard of the palace empress remarried?

It's almost the same unless it's destroyed.

"Um……"

Ying Er's pretty face turned red and she responded softly.
Chapter completed!
