Xiong Xiling said with a smile: "Don't interrupt the old man, you are no outsider when you come here, sit, sit."

The servant moved another chair and put it under the grape arbor, and the three of them sat down together.

Xiong Xiling said: "Zhirui came to see me, and brought a pack of Dahongpao along the way."

"What's so rare about Dahongpao tea?" Zaiyi sat on the chair and said with a smile: "If you like to drink it, I will give you twenty catties. Let me see and drink it. This tea is still called good tea, Zhirui, Zhirui Rui, it's not that my brother said you, but this kind of tea is sold in the tea shop at the entrance of the alley in my house, so you have the nerve to give it to Mr. Xiong."

"You are so bold!" Zhi Rui laughed. "The real Dahongpao has only one tea tree. It was once destroyed by lightning, and only half was left alive. Call it Linglong, put tea here, put gold there. Even the tribute to the emperor is mixed with the tea trees nearby. When you open your mouth, it is twenty catties!"

A few words made Xiong Xiling excited, leaning back on the chair and laughing: "So what I drank in the past was also fake? I want to taste it today!" After speaking, the maid had already made three cups, and used a small The tea tray was brought out by herself, Xiong Xiling picked it up and saw that there was not a piece of floating tea in the cup, only a thin layer of white mist on the mouth of the cup, and the faint fragrance was refreshing.

"This is called Yaochi Wusheng." Zhirui pointed out with a smile, "Look, the tea in the cup has five layers of color, green, red and clear, and the leaves turn yellow after being soaked in water, floating in the middle...the surrounding tea trees are also fragrant. Well, it’s just that it doesn’t carry a cold fragrance, and you can’t distinguish the five colors, this is the difference between real and fake!”

Xiong Xiling looked at it carefully with a smile, put the teacup close to his nose and sniffed it lightly, took a sip from his lips, tasted the fragrance of the tea and said: "It's mellow but not thick, the fragrance is not strong, the color is not strong, it refreshes the heart and refreshes the spleen. good!"

Zaiyi's mind was not on the tea, he had been thinking about his own thoughts just now, and after hearing what Xiong Xiangye said, he took a sip from the teacup and said with a smile, "The tea is good, and the tea is good, it's rare that all five colors come together !"

"Xiong Xiangye," Zaiyi immediately returned to the subject, took another sip of tea and said, "I just received the decree, I want to go to Yangzhou Mansion to check the money and food. I made a special trip to visit you today to ask you for advice. I am young and inconvenient. I have high hopes and I am entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and I am really afraid that I will fail the job.”

Xiong Xiling stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have read all the papers you handed out outside. Those articles are so detailed that I would not be able to write them when I was young. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. I have been thinking these days, It is indeed time for you young people to contribute to the master."

"This is Xiong Xiangye's humility. When I was trained by the emperor, the emperor said that we should learn from Xiong Xiling and not from Yuan Shikai. Xiong Xiling has been respectful and careful in handling errands for decades, diligently and impartially, and benevolent to colleagues. No matter how complicated or simple, there is no slacking off. In the future, when Master Xiong returns home with his clothes and brocades, he must give a royal banquet, and hold a send-off ceremony in a grand manner, so that the name of a generation will be complete from the beginning to the end."

Wind and Thunder Agitate Three Thousand Miles Chapter 700 Flame Troops

Xiong Xiling listened very carefully. Looking back, none of the former ministers of the study before the founding of the Qing Dynasty had a complete story. Mingzhu and Suo'etu were almost killed by Kangxi.He is not like ordinary ministers who feel jealous when the emperor appoints a newcomer.What he thinks the most is that he would rather die from exhaustion, and be satisfied with a good name from beginning to end in the end.Therefore, listening to Zaiyi's recitation of the emperor's words made me feel more comfortable than drinking this cup of Dahongpao tea. His wrinkled face stretched out and he said, "My lord, the emperor's words are really flattering to me. To be honest, in the This position is prone to two problems after a long time. One is that a high position does not know how to cultivate morality, and after a long time, it becomes arrogant and extravagant. Because of the weight, it is easy to forget one's status as a courtier; , The endless connections of the old officials, how can they all follow the rules outside, causing trouble, it is not your responsibility, and you feel shameful. Doing errands next to the emperor is like walking on eggshells. "As he said that, his expression had become gloomy, but he soon raised his spirits, and said with a smile: "I shouldn't have said these words on your happy day. Now, the Holy Spirit is above, and the candles are shining in all directions, just like what Long Live said, Let us as courtiers also have the energy to do things. You are now at the age of riding the wind and waves and starting a business, cheer up and work hard, and you must do better than me!"

"I will always remember Xiong Xiangye's kind words." Zai Yi changed the subject while pondering, "Last time I was ordered to go to the south of the Yangtze River on business, but I didn't know what to do. Ten, the emperor said that I did the right thing but passed it. I knew in my heart that it was too late, but the emperor did not point it out. To be honest, the official circles in Yangzhou Mansion have a bad reputation for me. The emperor’s younger brother, the top is in charge of the sky, and the bottom is in charge of the earth. Even if we sneeze or fart, he will play it, making the emperor laugh and making officials feel unlucky...'"

Before he finished speaking, Xiong Xiling laughed out loud, and Zhirui also spit out a mouthful of tea.Zaiyi said: "No matter what, I want to do things well, and I don't intend to make a mess of it. It's just that I haven't worked on a special job, so I can't figure it out. So you can understand me if you know me."

Xiong Xiling said with a smile: "Employing people, administration, and financial management are all complicated. The difficulty lies in sorting out a clue from the myriad of clues. You are an imperial envoy, you can't catch your eyebrows and beards, let alone do it for you. For example, check The shortage of money and food is your first full-time job, and you must run the errands in a clean and tidy manner. You just watch over the rest, and just remind you of minor problems, or send a document to the Yamen to handle them. It is best to contact the provincial government for major problems. The commander and the commander of the military region will discuss it and play it jointly, and your errands will be handled, and they won’t feel that you are in the way.” Then he turned his face and smiled and said to Zhirui: “This is to say that Prince Duan, your brother Zhijun is here. It's the same with Jiangnan business affairs. You are all relatives of the emperor, and you are more scrupulous than ordinary people. Word of mouth is like a sword, and you can crush people to death with your tongue."

"Yes." Zhi Rui hurriedly laughed: "But our brother is not as good as Prince Duan, he is of the royal blood of a real brand, and I am an uncle of a miscellaneous brand; he is a second-rank official in the court, and I am just a study Just walk. I told Zhijun that his imperial envoy’s tour can’t shake the ground. Do a few decent deeds and come back immediately to pay the order.”

While the three were chatting about authentic tea, the family hurried in from outside and said, "Eunuch Zhang, Xiaode, is here."

While he was talking, behind him Xiao Dezhang, wearing a pair of sunglasses, who was neither Chinese nor foreign, came in hurriedly with a fly brush, only to give Xiong Xiling a slap, and said: "The master asked Xiong Xiangye to enter the palace." discussion."

Xiong Xiling stood up and asked, "Master is in Changchun Garden, right?"

"No." Xiao Dezhang nodded to Zaiyi and Zhirui and said, "My master has just returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and summoned Mr. Feng, a group of military officials, and senior officials from the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Civil Affairs to discuss raising Indian military salaries thing."

Xiong Xiling bid farewell to the two in a hurry, and followed Xiaode Zhang into the palace.

At this time in India, the British appointed Lieutenant General Barth as the interim supreme military officer in an attempt to use his reputation and experience to restore Britain's defeat in India, while the Chinese army in India entered a stage of full-scale offensive.

The right-wing corps led by Tang Shengzhi, led by Chen Jitang's armored corps, launched a massive attack from Guna and Redland to Mumbai.At that time, the British army had two brigades in Redland, which were stationed at various strategic points.With the Armored Corps as the vanguard, the Chinese army repeatedly attacked and occupied Letland in one go, posing a direct threat to Mumbai.Then Tang Shengzhi's soldiers divided into three groups, attacking Nashik on the left, Puna on the right, and Mumbai in the middle.

Mumbai is located on Salset Island off the west coast of India, on the verge of the Arabian Sea. It was occupied by Portugal in 1534 and transferred to Britain in 1661. After India became independent, it has gradually developed into a large city on the west coast and the largest seaport in the country. It is Maharashtra, India. The capital of Trabang is also an important trade center and gateway city in western India.

In order to save the defeat, Lieutenant General Bart pieced together the strength of 3 brigades and launched two counterattacks against Lederan, but was finally defeated by the powerful firepower of the Dragon Army armored troops.

On September 9, Tang Shengzhi's left army captured Baroda and Nashik on the same day; the right army captured Puna on time, and the three-way army formed a siege of Mumbai.

Just when Mumbai was in a storm, on the evening of September 9, the Chinese navy detoured from the Mannar military port to the west coast of India and launched a fierce shelling on Mumbai. In panic, they scattered and fled for their lives.

But the navy's attack made Chen Jitang, who was about to fall asleep, unhappy at the time. He thought that the navy was really greedy for success, and that it would be fine if he won a big victory at sea. Well, not all the credit has been taken away by them.He was dressed and commanded his tanks to bombard the gates of Mumbai.

Under the pincer fire of the Chinese sea and land, Lieutenant General Butt felt that he could no longer support him. Taking advantage of the night and the chaos in the city, he slipped out of the city. A few days later, he appeared in Bangalore to continue organizing the resistance.

On the other side, Chen Cheng's left-wing army, after being reinforced by a reinforced armored brigade, began to sweep across northern India.Chen Xilong, commander of the Enhanced Armored Brigade, was even crazier than Chen Jitang. He hardly stopped along the way, and the speed of progress made the infantry curse with anger.By the beginning of October, most of India had been controlled by the empire. All that Britain could control was a dozen small towns centered on Bangalore and thousands of demoralized soldiers.If things go on like this, within a week, there will be no more British soldiers on the entire land of India.

Outskirts of Bangalore.

A mysterious army came here quietly in the dark and was making tense deployments.This force is the Imperial Missile Force that has not shown up since the Indian War and has been the most talked about.

The Reichsmissile was successfully developed four years ago under the leadership of the former Nazi senior official von Braun.Braun is a legendary figure who once led the development of rockets in Germany. Hitler was interested in rocket technology at the beginning. When he visited the launch test stand, Braun was appointed to explain the technical principles to the head of state.Braun explained the basic structure of the rocket to Hitler with his usual serious and rigorous attitude.But he soon discovered that Hitler's introduction to him was almost in and out. Only when he mentioned the possible military use of the V1 rocket, the Fuehrer's eyes sparkled.Braun began to vaguely feel that the future of his aerospace dream would be uneven.Later, he was taken to prison by the Gestapo, and the reason for his arrest was recorded: He and his colleagues stated that they had never intended to develop the rocket into a weapon of war.All the research and development work they have done under government pressure is just to make money to do their experiments and prove their theories.Their purpose is always cosmic travel.Braun was therefore likely to be convicted of treason and shot.In the end, Braun was released due to the multiple rescues of his friends and the lack of sufficient reasons for the charge of treason.

Braun's outstanding talent in rocket research attracted the attention of the Imperial Security Bureau. Zhao Bingjun reported the matter to the emperor, and Guan Xuqing immediately ordered to bring this man to the empire at all costs.At this time, Braun hated all the inhuman viciousness of the Nazis, and accepted the invitation of the Security Bureau. At the same time, Braun was being monitored by the SS.He believes: "It is our duty to human beings to hand over our 'babies' to the right people."

When Braun finally arrived at Chiang Kai-shek's camp, the soldiers of the Dragon Army couldn't believe that this young man in his early 30s was the main inventor of the famous V1 rocket.Said one infantryman: "If we hadn't captured the greatest scientist of the Third Reich, we must have captured the greatest liar."

After the great scientist of the Third Reich arrived in China, with his outstanding intelligence and enthusiasm for work, the research team led by Braun devoted himself to this great human plan from the very beginning.Guan Xuqing specially invested huge sums of money to establish the world's largest aviation experiment base in the northwest region. In order to repay the kindness of the Chinese emperor, he not only donated the V2 rocket technology, but also presided over the development of the "Chinese Long Sword" series Carry missiles.But everyone knows that this is a huge project. There are tens of thousands of parts in the whole system and ground auxiliary equipment. These parts must work together precisely. Braun led the scientific research personnel to work day and night for several years, and finally completed the project. Such a masterpiece.

After the successful development of the Chinese Long Sword, due to the requirement of confidentiality, Braun's achievements were not publicized. He willingly buried himself in the laboratory and continued to polish his series of Chinese Long Swords.

Wind and Thunder Surge Three Thousand Miles Chapter 7 and One Chinese Long Sword

Not long after the missile was invented, the Supreme Command ordered the establishment of a secret missile force, code-named "raging flames". Mao Bangchu, captain of the 45th Brigade of the Imperial Air Force stationed in Fengtian, served as the commander. Special training.This time, in order to test the combat effectiveness of the missile force, Feng Xianghua resolutely pulled the force to the Indian battlefield after asking the emperor for instructions.In the initial war, considering many factors such as the terrain and the battlefield situation, they did not rashly send the Flame Troops into battle. After all, the missile troop’s self-defense capability is still very weak. For Lie Yan, it will usher in a catastrophe.

Now that the war has progressed, the Military High Command, the Ministry of the Army, and the Ministry of the Air Force have discussed in consultations that the situation at this time is very suitable for the flames to participate in the war, and the application of missiles can greatly speed up the process of the war.

On this day, Mao Bangchu suddenly received an order from Beijing.The four surface-to-air missile battalions of the Chinese Air Force are all stationed in Bangalore, which coincides with the heavy rain in Bangalore.Due to the low-lying terrain of the troops stationed, the launch positions were all submerged in rainwater.When the troops withdrew, not only were the rain-soaked camouflage nets and tarpaulins too heavy to lift, but the weapons and vehicles were also stuck in the mud and could not move away.There was no other way, so the battalion had to order the second company to take off the tracked vehicles of the launchers, and tow the weapon vehicles one by one.When the troops drove into the airport railway freight yard for loading, all the vehicles and personnel became mud monkeys.

As soon as the Second Battalion arrived in Bangalore, things started to happen.At 7:50 in the morning, Mao Bangchu received a secret telegram, and a fleet of lightning fighters took off from Mumbai Airport and was rushing to Bangalore.

The news of the Lightning Squad's dispatch alarmed Beijing. After receiving the news, Feng Ru immediately rushed to the Air Force Combat Command.In order to paralyze the enemy, he ordered the Southern Tibet Air Force Base and the Delhi Air Force Base to launch Fenglei fighter planes into the air to meet the enemy. After that, he sat in the plotting room and watched the movement of the enemy planes, while discussing in a low voice with the deputy commander.

"Today, it seems that the Lightning Squad is likely to take the front line of Jalna and Nashik... In this way, it happens to enter our firepower network." The deputy commander said very happily.

"This shows that your "bet" is correct again. Whether you can win this battle depends on their Lie Yan troops!" Feng Ru said solemnly.

"Flame Troops? Are you going to use missiles this time?" the deputy commander asked in surprise.

Feng Ru didn't answer, and fell into deep thought...

In the command post of the Bangalore missile cluster, Mao Bangchu was staring at the radar display screen at the air force base solemnly. At 9:55, the radar showed that the Blitz fleet had flown over Jalna and was heading towards Bangalore at high speed. He immediately issued an order to the three missile battalions to "enter first-class combat preparation".Soon, a report came from the three missile battalions: "The personnel are ready, the weapons are in good condition, and they are ready to go into battle at any time."

As early as when he organized the first team of troops to survey and select positions, he had drawn up 10 combat plans based on the usual flight routes of the enemy planes in the past. One of the combat plans for encountering the enemy planes was to prepare the enemy planes to fly from Jalna and Nashik passed in the middle. According to this combat plan, the Lightning Squadron's route was eliminated by the second battalion to the left, and the third battalion was eliminated by the right route, and the fourth battalion was ready to take over the shooting.

Right now, according to the flight route of the enemy plane, Mao Bangchu judged that the Lightning Squad might pass between Jalna and Nashik, because the second battalion was already performing other tasks, so he began to pay attention to the third battalion in Nashik, and personally He issued an "order to prepare to destroy the enemy aircraft" to Battalion Commander Du Xianzhao.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the third missile battalion were all rejoicing and in high spirits.Battalion Commander Du Xianzhao is even more determined to win; he secretly made up his mind: "I will definitely shoot you down with the lightning fighter of the dog day!"

Du Xianzhao was of medium height, neither fat nor thin, with a pair of very round eyes on his long face. When he received the order from the base to "enter first-class combat preparation", the enemy plane was only 475 kilometers away from the third battalion.Du Xianzhao personally issued an order to the intelligence radar station to "start to capture the target". Three minutes later, the radar commander's excited report came from the loudspeaker of the battalion command post: "Target found: a mainframe, azimuth 3, distance 118, altitude 375."

"The target is correct. It can be confirmed that the enemy plane is the Lightning fighter plane we want to fight." The signalman said beside him.

Du Xianzhao nodded, picked up the microphone, and said in a loud voice: "No. 3 indicates the radar station, and the target is accurate. I hope you will continue to work hard, continuously measure and report the coordinates of the enemy plane, and lay a solid foundation for this war. After the war, I will definitely Give you credit!"

"understand!"

Du Xianzhao picked up another microphone and ordered loudly to the troops: "First company, second company, after the inspection of the long sword, you should conduct a function inspection again, and make sure that the long sword is always in good condition." When the orders from the first and second companies arrived, the smug Du Xianzhao hung the microphone next to the plotting table with trembling arms.

At 10:11, the distance of the enemy aircraft group was 290 kilometers.There was silence in the command post of the third battalion.

Ever since he received the combat order from the base headquarters, Du Xianzhao has never been at peace in his heart. While he is happy about the battle, he is also worried about the battle, because he has not yet made up his mind on how to fight this battle; he also wants to use the But I was worried that the troops would not be proficient in this method of combat, so I couldn't help but backed down: "It's better to be conservative and implement it according to the spirit of the combat meeting. You don’t have to take responsibility if you can’t shoot down the enemy plane. After all, if you’re lucky, maybe you can still shoot down the enemy plane according to the old way?” He comforted himself in his heart.
