Chapter 1255 New hot air balloon
The reconnaissance company and the Tiehu Camp were mainly the Shu army stationed in the southern section of Huangtonggou.
However, as the centralized distribution began, all the soldiers of Shu army realized that something must have happened.
Subsequently, the clerks of each regiment received manuscripts printed by Li Didi.
The protagonist of this article is not Jin Feng or a senior general, but an ordinary bodyguard who tells the changes in his life over the past two years.
But the more this happens, the more it resonates with the soldiers of the Shu army, and begins to recall the changes in life over the past two years.
Previously, Dakang had heavy taxes and bandits exploited them everywhere.
However, since Jin Feng's rise, Zhenyuan Escort Agency has suppressed bandits everywhere and first brought down a mountain that was pressing against the people.
Subsequently, Jin Feng worked hard in the capital to reduce taxes for the people of Dakang.
Although this tax cut was boycotted by the vassal kings in various places and was finally implemented for only half a year, it was the territory ruled by other vassal kings. Since the Ninth Princess established the new Dakang, she has been implementing the light tax and tax strategy set by Jin Feng.
In fact, this tax is basically not the same as Jin Feng. Now the military pay and food of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency and the Shu army basically come from the accumulation of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce, as well as the spoils seized by the Zhenyuan Escort Agency when fighting against local tyrants to divide the land.
Many powerful and powerful families existed before the founding of Dakang. They have been passed down for hundreds of years, and the wealth they have accumulated is unimaginable.
When they ran away, there were only a limited amount of things they could take away, and the things they couldn't take were left in the hands of Zhenyuan Escort Agency.
These spoils are the biggest source of income for Xindakang and make money faster than the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce.
But Jin Feng knew that this was a one-time transaction, and the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce was the way to make money for sustainable development.
Moreover, the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce not only can make money, but also undertakes macro-control and strategic material reserve tasks.
When there was no war, Jin Feng could use the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce to regulate prices to prevent people from hoarding goods and affecting people's lives.
Once a war or disaster occurs, the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce can also provide material supplies and rescue as soon as possible.
This work is very important, so Jin Feng has been fully supporting the development of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce. Tang Xiaobei is so busy that he has not been able to return to the village for a while.
With the efforts of Tang Xiaobei, the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce has now adopted the supply and marketing cooperative model at the grassroots level, and has established temporary warehouses in most counties in Sichuan and Sichuan, and branches in almost all townships.
After so long of hard work, the prototype of the supply and marketing cooperative has been basically completed, and the people have also gained very real benefits from it.
People in other places are getting harder and harder, but the people in Sichuan and Sichuan are getting better and better.
Especially for the escorts and the soldiers of the Shu army, because of the high salary, one escort can support a whole family.
Through the continuous publicity of Jinchuan Daily and the Song and Dance Troupe, all the corpses understand one thing: they must protect the good days now.
So even though Li Didi explained at the end of the manuscript that the Qin King's Army blocked Wutou Mountain, the Shu Army did not cause panic. Instead, under the guidance of the instructors of each company, an atmosphere of unity against the enemy gradually formed.
The morale issue that Jin Feng was most worried about was also effectively controlled.
After stabilizing the rear, Jin Feng could do his best to deal with Dangxiang Nan's army and Qin Wang's army.
The Nanzheng Army and the Qin King Army clearly wanted to fight a protracted war and trapped the Shu army to death in the brass ditch. This time, Jin Feng did not hide it from Princess Ninth, and immediately asked Monkey to send scouts with carrier pigeons to cross mountains and ridges around Mount Wutou, and ask Princess Ninth for help.
The monkey has not been idle these two days, and has been pulling several pilots to tinker with hot air balloons and turbulent oil barrels, hoping to kill the enemy Hai Dongqing in one fell swoop next time.
Jin Feng also attached great importance to this matter, and this was his area of expertise, so he confirmed that morale issues were controlled and the scouts who sought help also set off, Jin Feng found the monkey and plunged into the temporary laboratory.
Most monkeys and pilots are at the level of literacy squads, so it is okay to let them go to war, but even if the experiment is not difficult, it still makes them feel like they have nowhere to start.
A group of people worked hard for a few days, but the experiment did not make much progress.
After Jin Feng joined, he did not study hot air balloons as soon as possible, but instead made a relatively precise water leak.
Dakang has no clocks and the tool for calculating time is a sundial.
However, it is okay to record a relatively long time for a sundial, but it is not enough to record a short time for a sundial.
The water leakage made by Jin Feng is specially recorded in this short-term.
"Monkey, you arrange for someone to go to Wutou Mountain and record the flight speed of Haidongqing!"
Jin Feng handed the water leak to the monkey: "I want to know how many drops of water you need for a mile of Qingfei in Haidong."
"Yes!" The monkey quickly took over the water leak.
Hai Dongqing has to let it fly for a while every day. Because it flies high, the scouts don’t have to get too close to Wutou Mountain. Just find a cat in the ravine and you can clearly see Hai Dongqing.
So this task is very safe.
Only after the scouts arranged by the monkey left did Jin Feng start the hot air balloon experiment.
With the addition of Jin Feng, the test progress has been greatly improved. In just a few days, Jin Feng modified a brand new hot air balloon and made a new explosive pack fuse.
The new hot air balloon is smaller in size and has a low load capacity, but it has a faster lift-off speed. Jin Feng also installed a place to place explosive bags in the hot air balloon's balloon.
The reason why the Dead Hai Dongqing was not bombed last time was that after the scouts ignited the turbulent barrel, the balloon of the hot air balloon blocked the air waves and flames for Hai Dongqing, and just knocked Hai Dongqing to the point, without causing much damage.
If the explosives are packaged into the balloon, then after the explosion, the balloon will explode. Hai Dongqing is located above the balloon and will directly bear the power of the explosion!
However, the timing of the explosion must be chosen. It is not enough to explode in advance or explode too late, so Jin Feng made a new type of fuse.
The combustion speed of the new fuse is more accurate. When the scouts calculate the flight speed of Haidongqing, the pilots flying the hot air balloon can choose the ignition time based on the distance of Haidongqing and the water leakage. This can ensure that the explosive pack will be detonated at the moment when Haidongqing approaches to the greatest extent.
In fact, the best way is to remotely control bombs, but the development of technology requires time and accumulation. Remotely control bombs are products in the electronics era. Even if Jin Feng understands its principles, he cannot create electronic products out of thin air. He can only use this stupid method.
After Jin Feng assembled the new hot air balloon and after simple low-altitude training in the brass groove, explosives were installed.
