The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Ten days passed,

Song Jing decided to use thin cowhide as a leather bag and match it with a bellows to make the wood burn more vigorously.

Hundreds of pieces of cowhide are sewn together, like a piece of tattered patchwork clothing.

"Eunuch Gu, you are almost ready. Master Yan said that if you can fly, I will arrange for you to return to the East Palace as an errand."

Gu Da buried his head under the railing and cried, "How can we get down in a while?"

"I don't know either."

"Wait a minute, we regret it, let me come down!"

The hot air balloon moved slowly, and Gu Dayong swayed under his feet as if he was standing on the waves, and fell into the vine frame.

One foot,

Two feet,

three feet,

It was getting higher and higher, and in the sight of Song Jing and others, it became as big as a fist, and Gu Dayong's voice was ethereal and inaudible.

Zeng Jian's body was trembling slightly, his nose was slightly sore, and he was actually crying.

The Kongming Lantern was used by Zhuge Liang to escape from being trapped by Sima Yi.

He can really fly into the sky!

"How much cargo can it carry?"

Zeng Jian thought of a way to use it. Kong Ming boasted that this thing could fly into the sky, but now it can really fly into the sky.

If the general is trapped in the army, he might be able to use this item to escape.

Song Jing bowed and said, "This is the first time I've seen students. I don't know how many people can be carried. We need to try again."

Fengtian Temple,

Xiao Jing was about to return to the supervisor's room when he saw a black dot flying from the sky.

"Escort!"

Emperor Hongzhi and several members of the cabinet heard the sound and walked out of the hall.

I saw black dots in the sky flying towards this direction, and the guards on the ground drew their bows and arrows.

With a single command, it can be shot.

Yan Chengjin said: "This is the Kong Mingjun I mentioned. Song Jing should have made it."

Hot air ballooning is not a brilliant technology.

It does not involve electricity, it is an application of heat and force. Human beings were already able to use fire a million years ago.

As long as there is fire, hot air balloons are an ancient invention that will be tested sooner or later.

Emperor Hongzhi asked doubtfully: "What is the use of this thing?"

"I have preliminary estimates that it can be investigated, but it has never been tested. How about Eunuch Xiao go up and try it?" Yan Chengjin looked at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing's legs were shaking with fear. He just saw this huge Kongming Lantern, which was hundreds of feet high.

If it falls, can it still be a human being?

"Your Majesty, Master Yan wants to kill this slave!"

Emperor Hongzhi hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea, and said: "Xiao Banban is in charge of the internal affairs and can assist me in running the country. He cannot die yet."

Officials from the six departments hurried over with their coats in hand.

The imperial guard issued a notice and assassins broke into the palace.

A huge black shadow slid across the glass, bumped and smashed a lot of rubble, and landed on the courtyard.

Chai Sheng walked up the imperial steps, saluted and asked, "Master Yan, this is the Kong Ming Army you are talking about? What's the use of carrying only one person!"

War is a battle between thousands of troops and thousands of horses.

Such a big sky lantern can only carry one person, but can it withstand 100,000 Tatar enemy troops?

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang nodded, it was indeed useless.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and sighed, saying: "Ningxia is in urgent need, and I feel uneasy. I will not wait any longer. I will summon all the officials to attend court in the morning and discuss the expedition."

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian looked at each other.

Yan Chengjin also felt a little strange. The expedition to the Tatars was such a big deal that His Majesty didn't even wait for the morning meeting.

It seemed like there was something to announce.

Soon, officials from six departments, five temples, and six departments gathered in Fengtian Hall.

Holding the fluorene tablet in hand is like going to court in the morning.

Chai Sheng bowed and said: "The leader of this expedition is recommended by me, the British Lord!"

"I think that Hou Yin, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, has guarded the border for thirteen years and has never suffered a defeat. He is well versed in the Tatar marching habits and can take command." Wang Kuo, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said.

There were whispers in the hall, and candidates were recommended.

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully: "I thought that An Dinghou could be the commander-in-chief, Wang Shouren could be the deputy commander-in-chief, and Han Wen could be the ranger general.

The Ningxia border troops are brave, and if they are supplemented by the Beijing army, they can ensure a great victory in the expedition! "

Chai Sheng looked over angrily. This man clearly wanted to exonerate Marquis Anding.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand: "Stop fighting, I want to conquer in person!"

Boom!

The hearts of all the officials felt like mountains and rivers were collapsing and the sky was falling.

It was noisy like a vegetable market before, but now, the hall was completely silent.

Xiao Jing never interfered in the government affairs, but at this moment, he couldn't help but lost his voice: "Your Majesty? You are the king of a country, how can you go to Jiubian?"

Liu Jian reacted and hurriedly bowed and said: "As the king of a country, how can you go to Jiubian?"

"Who says the emperor can't conquer it himself? My eldest father, the late Emperor Yingzong, once led an army to conquer Oara.

Since the defeat of the Yingzong, the Ming Dynasty has been invaded by the Tatars. Now that the country is strong, it is the time to solve the serious troubles of the Ming Dynasty.

Which of the kings of Qin and Han Dynasty is not good at fighting? I also want to be called the Great Emperor Hongzhi! "

Emperor Hongzhi said in a deep voice.

Yan Chengjin couldn't calm down for a long time.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all idle.

According to Maslow's principle, once people's current desires are satisfied, they will begin to pursue the next level of desires.

Food and clothing solve the problem of wanting to buy a house, and once you have a house, you want to buy a car. As long as you have money, your desires are endless.

When Zhu Di became rich and had money, he asked Zheng He to go to the West to show off his wealth.

Your Majesty, like Zhu Di, began to pursue spiritual life after food and clothing were taken care of.

Gone!

"Your Majesty, I have something to say, do you know whether to say it or not?" Yan Chengjin bowed and said.

"Stop talking, I know what you want to say, retreat from the court!"

But all the officials refused to leave, and all knelt down to remonstrate.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

"Don't repeat the mistakes of the previous emperor!"

Liu Jian took the lead, and all the officials kowtowed together.

However, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes moved slightly, but he walked out of the hall without saying a word.

After a while, all the officials still refused to get up.

Obviously, they wanted to fight to the death with His Majesty.

Yan Chengjin raised his head. Of course, he didn't want to kneel here all night, or he would get rheumatism.

Li Dongyang whispered to him: "Let's kneel and advise His Majesty together, don't leave!"

"Lord Yan, this is a big deal, you can't leave!" Han Wen advised nervously.

How could Yan Chengjin be a person who wronged himself? He said: "My subordinate is weak and can't kneel for a long time. When His Majesty changes his mind soon, I will come again."

See, this guy actually stood up and walked out of the hall.

Han Wen and Zhang Sheng were so angry that their faces turned red. This dog official clearly couldn't bear the hardship.

Li Dongyang's face was red to his ears, and he lowered his head in a hurry.

In the East Palace,

Zhu Houzhao was studying the interest of Hongzhi Company, but heard the eunuch report in a panic: "Your Highness, it's not good!"

"What's the matter?"

Seeing that he didn't care at all, the eunuch said: "The court is going to attack Tatar."

"I knew it a long time ago, get out of the way, I'm calculating the interest!"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is going to lead the army in person!"

With a snap.

The pen fell to the ground.

Zhu Houzhao looked up with interest, but saw Yan Chengjin walking in: "Old Gao, I heard that my father is going to lead the army in person?"

"No decree has been issued yet, Your Highness, don't spread it around, if it gets out of the palace, the silver bills will depreciate."

Yan Chengjin thought, this guy is really well-informed.

If Emperor Hongzhi leads the army in person, there will be a risk of being captured and killed, so a new emperor will need to ascend the throne.

The Hongzhi silver notes can only be used during the Hongzhi reign. When the new emperor ascends the throne, they will become obsolete.

The news cannot be spread outside the palace.
