Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 508: This Is an Artifact

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

Just do what you say, Fang Jifan is an honest person, and he doesn't compare blindly.

He hurriedly ordered people to go to Xishan, and ordered Xishan to send the balloon urgently.

Emperor Hongzhi was in a good mood, and the Empress Dowager was in good health. As a grandson, he heaved a long sigh of relief, so... just let Fang Jifan make troubles, just don't demolish the Forbidden City.

The Empress Dowager arranged a bench under the eaves of the main hall to sit on, and Zhou La obediently accompanied the Empress Dowager.

Zhu Xiurong was standing behind the Empress Dowager, seeing many people, hurriedly carrying things.

Fang Jifan was there, and Zhu Houzhao, as always, added to the chaos.

Under Fang Jifan's command, the eunuchs first inflated the shark skin's balloon, and when it was almost there, they opened the valve of the kerosene tank, and the fire burned.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the flames and suddenly regretted it. He began to worry that the Forbidden City would burn down.

The hot air made the balloon more inflated, and someone had nailed a wooden stake to the ground, and the cable was tied to the wooden stake.

When it was full, the balloon actually started to float up slowly.

Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback for a moment, staring straight at the balloon that was slowly flying into the air.

However, due to the pull of the cable, the balloon hovered steadily half a foot above the ground.

Zhu Houzhao was already happy: "Can you really fly? Hey, I have to go up and have a look, and put it in the bamboo basket?"

Fang Jifan nodded, and then said to Yang Biao: "Biaozi, come, get the goggles for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The goggles are also made by Xishan, they are actually two pieces of glass, wrapped in leather, and when worn, they protect the eyes, preventing them from being blinded by the strong wind when they reach high altitudes.

Yang Biao was also invited into the palace. He was very disgusted with the goggles. There was nothing to protect them. The wind was so strong that I could keep my eyes open.

Zhu Houzhao was happy. In fact, he really wanted to get on the bamboo basket. Many eunuchs were about to stop him, but Zhu Houzhao himself was a little timid. Flying into the sky, will he fall off? In this case, it will be more ugly to die.

He laughed aloud: "I will fly again next time, I'm not feeling well today, come here, Liu Banban, come here."

Liu Jin hid in the crowd, looking around, he felt his eyelids were twitching all the time, when he heard Zhu Houzhao calling, he shivered, his face turned green with fright, and he came out tremblingly.

Zhu Houzhao waved at him: "Come on, Liu Banban, go to the sky and have a look, don't be afraid, you won't die."

"Slave, slave..." Liu Jin cried.

He... was afraid.

As long as he is a bit courageous, or in other words, he is really the kind of courageous person, why would he cut himself into the palace and become an eunuch? A fat and courageous person will have nothing to eat wherever he goes?

Zhu Houzhao said impatiently: "If you are told to go to the top, you will go to the sky. Don't talk too much. If you talk too much, I will hang you up. Quick, help him up."

Liu Jin's legs trembled, and he suddenly regretted that he was going to be a eunuch. In the past, his father sent him here because his family was poor and couldn't eat enough. He still remembered what his father said when he sent him to the palace. He was not allowed to be an eunuch if he drank yellow rice porridge. Liu Jin suddenly thought, we cut everything up, but Fang Jifan tossed out potatoes and sweet potatoes. In the future...do the common people still lack food?

No matter how you think about it, it seems that Emperor Taizu Gao was an official in the Yuan Dynasty when he was preparing for the Northern Expedition.

Weeping and crying, he finally climbed into the rattan basket.

Yang Biao clapped Liu Jin's shoulder with a big hand: "Are you ready?"

Liu Jin's legs were weak and he didn't dare to stand. He was trembling, seeing Yang Biao's face was very scary, not only responsible and rough, but the most important thing was the scars on his face, full of scars, he looked... like a thief.

Seeing Liu Jin staring at his face, Yang Biao was amused: "Are these small injuries? Haha, small things..."

Liu Jin asked tentatively, "Did you fall?"

Yang Biao laughed, he is a man who loves to laugh: "Yes, he fell from the sky, hundreds of feet high, and thanks to the blessings of his ancestors, he hung on the branch of a tree, but it was not enough. Look at this The scars are scratched by branches, here... this is when I fell from the tree again, and my head hit the rock, and here, here..."

Yang Biao waved his hands: "It's just a small matter. I don't have to worry about me. I'm used to seeing big winds and waves. Grandma's legs... I am a person blessed by my benefactor. I am immortal. If I fall next time, I guarantee that I won't die." , benefactor is protecting it, Lord Yan dare not accept it."

Liu Jin was shocked and collapsed in the rattan basket.

But at this time, the people below untied the cable, and the balloon slowly floated up. Liu Jin thought of something and howled loudly: "We want to go down, we want to go down, we don't want to go to the sky, we want to be human, to be human."

Pounced on the edge of the rattan basket, poked his head out, and found that he was getting taller and taller, and the people on the ground began to get smaller and smaller. At the end, he couldn't see clearly. Only the people who could see clearly were left After passing through the palaces of the Forbidden City, slowly, the palaces could not be seen clearly, and the flying ball climbed rapidly, Liu Jin's expression was dismal, and he fell into the rattan basket, Yang Biao turned the valve of the kerosene tank Seeing Liu Jin like this: "Afraid? Don't be afraid, I won't die. I specially prepared three layers of quilts, and these three layers of quilts cover my body. Even if I fall from here, at most, it's not too much." It’s just missing an arm and a broken leg, don’t be afraid…”

Yang Biao thought of something, and took out a handful of beef jerky from his bag: "Do you want to eat beef jerky? You won't be afraid after eating it."

Liu Jin hesitated, stretched out his hand, took the jerky, chewed it in his mouth, his pale face

On the ground, there was a little more blood, and he couldn't help saying: "It smells so good!"

……………………

Emperor Hongzhi watched the balloon fly directly into the sky.

At this time, his heart... was extremely shocked.

He has seen a lot of strange and ingenious things, but many things are actually useless in his eyes.

But this balloon was completely different. He saw two people fly directly into the sky and into the clouds with his own eyes.

This……

What a shocking thing.

Just relying on this, you can save people among thousands of troops?

Deep down in his heart, he already had an accurate answer. Yes, with one balloon, that's enough.

Zhu Houzhao was as excited as a child: "Liu Jin has gone to heaven." He folded his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted towards the sky: "Liu Banban, Liu Banban, are you still alive?"

Naturally, Liu Jin couldn't hear His Highness the Crown Prince's words. He was chewing the jerky. The taste of this jerky was different from other places, and it was very characteristic. terrible thing.

The Empress Dowager squinted her eyes and stood up, looking up at the sky, trying to find traces of hot air balloons.

But even with reading glasses, the hot air balloon was still not found.

The Empress Dowager let out a sigh of relief: "I see, I see, go and call Fang Jifan."

The eunuch hurriedly went to the spacious area in front of the hall to invite Fang Jifan, Fang Jifan saluted and said, "My lord..."

The Empress Dowager looked deeply at Fang Jifan: "Ai Jia now believes that Zhou La's life was indeed saved by you..." As she said, she took a stick and hit Zhou La hard.

"Bastard, what are you doing standing up, do you have a place to stand in front of your benefactor?"

Being scolded by the Empress Dowager, Zhou La felt wronged and wanted to cry, but hurriedly bowed down: "Thank you benefactor."

Fang Jifan was amused: "You're welcome, I don't ask for anything in return for my kindness."

The Empress Dowager nodded and looked at Fang Jifan with satisfaction: "The Ai family owes you a favor, and the Ai family will remember this kindness."

Fang Jifan wanted to be polite.

Emperor Hongzhi said at this moment: "Fang Qing's family, this balloon can only save people?"

Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi was very interested in the use of this balloon.

The bottom of his heart is already overwhelming, what's the use of something that can send people to heaven?

"Your Majesty, this thing is really useful." Fang Jifan said: "Have you ever thought about why my Ming Dynasty is always under the control of others when we fight against the Tatars?"

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

Fang Jifan said: "This is because the Tatars have plenty of war horses, and the desert outside the customs is full of flat rivers. If they want to attack our border town in Ming Dynasty, they can come early and attack at night, and they can launch an attack on the same day. There was a beacon fire warning, but in the end, they passively hid in the fortress, saw the Tatars with their own eyes, and then released the early warning, and the warning time was not enough for the pass to make preparations."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded slowly, his eyes lit up.

Fang Jifan continued: "As a result, a terrible situation has emerged in our Ming Dynasty. The enemy is in the dark, and I am in the light. No one knows when these Tatars will appear. What's more frightening is that this has led to our Ming Dynasty. It is almost difficult for private households to gain a foothold outside the customs.”

Emperor Hongzhi shook his body. He thought of one thing. He thought that Fang Jifan was going to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes outside the customs. I have to say that the potatoes and sweet potatoes have already begun to be cultivated outside the customs, but only on a small scale. Dare to plant in large quantities. After all, it is impossible for Ming Dynasty to enclose all the land for planting sweet potatoes and potatoes with a wall, but what if it is attacked by the Tatars at this time? If the attacking Tatars were spotted by Daming's scouts and came back to give an early warning, that would be fine, at least the farmers could hide in the pass immediately, but wouldn't the crops in the field be given to the Tatars for nothing? ?

But what if there is enough warning time?

or……

Fang Jifan said: "But if it is in the desert, if there are more balloons like this, even if the Tatars see someone watching their every move in the sky at any time, they will be helpless. Even... if there are some weapons in the rattan basket on the balloon Occasionally throwing it makes the Tatars always in a state of panic, so... the Tatars are afraid, they will be in danger day and night, and they will always be in a nightmare. My Da Ming will detect their every move at any time, and even , at any moment, something will fall from the sky, which will disturb them and make them exhausted, so they will be too disturbed and bored, how can they even think about attacking our Daming Border Town."

"In the past, we were beaten everywhere, and we were always huddled within the closed wall, but from now on, I, Da Ming, want to turn passive into active, and let them taste the taste of fear."
