The construction of the railway from Nanxiong Prefecture to Nan'an Prefecture will be part of the future north-south artery - that is, the Nanxiong Prefecture to Ganzhou section of the later Beijing-Guangzhou Railway.
It was just a matter of time to invest in infrastructure to absorb the more than one million people who were driven out of Ganzhou.
This railway, which had not been planned in the first place, is now being rushed for emergency repairs.
Instead of spending the price to attack the Qing Dynasty's Yangtze River Fort.
Might as well move the armored ships to the Ganjiang River.
According to the calculations of the staff department.
The current first-generation ironclad ship has a hull 2 feet wide and 7.5 feet long.
It is about twenty-five meters long and less than seven meters wide.
It's not a pure steel battleship either.
It is a transitional ship type from a wooden-hulled ship to a steel-hulled ship - an ironclad ship.
That is, the wooden frame is covered with steel plates.
Powered by a steam engine.
The structure of this kind of boat is much simpler than that of ordinary sailing boats.
Therefore, the parts can be directly processed and transported to Nan'an Prefecture by waterway or railway.
Then the assembly was completed in Nan'an, the steam turbine was installed, and the fort was rotated.
Although it is not a real steel battleship.
However, this kind of ironclad ship crushed the wooden ships of the Qing Dynasty's Yangtze River Navy in the three major indicators of maneuverability, defense, and firepower.
Steam-hulled iron-clad ships can pass through the Gan River and traverse the Yangtze River system. Exit the transcoding page, please download the app Aiyue to read the latest chapter.
The staff calculated.
The cost paid in this way is much more cost-effective than the cost of storming the four major forts of the Qing court.
Once the Yangtze River Navy is eliminated.
The fort without the support of the navy is just a lamb to be slaughtered.
"My Majesty, can it be repaired in three months?" Napoleon asked. "Whether Qianlong will run away depends on whether his Yangtze River Navy is still there."
"If the Yangtze River Navy is gone, he won't be able to run even if he wants to, unless he can swim across the Yangtze River." Zhu Daohua said.
"Three months is enough to build a temporary railway of only 30 kilometers. By then, a few armored ships will be able to block Qianlong's retreat! If Qianlong is killed, the Qing Dynasty will have no appeal."
Zhu Daohua said.
Tao Biquan smiled and said: "If even the Qing Tartar emperor is killed, the people of the world should also know who is the master of the world!"
Killing Qianlong would have a major political impact on both the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
On the one hand, the Qing court was struggling just to deal with the heirs of Qianlong and stabilize the Eight Banners aristocratic ruling group, and it was no longer able to send an army of 200,000 southward as it did now.
On the other hand.
If Qianlong was killed by the Ming army.
The gentry and wealthy families in the southern provinces can also see clearly the general trend of history and make the right choices as soon as possible.
There won't be many obstacles to Ming's unification of the south.
The north wind in the first month is still biting.
Zhu Daohua raised his head and looked at the castle in the distance.
"let's start!"
Zhu Daohua turned his head and said.
A horse behind him rode up to deliver the order.
"Deploy the hot air balloon and light it on fire!"
"It's airborne!"
This is something new that Zhu Daohua brought to Jiangxi this time.
hot air balloon.
In fact, hot air balloons appeared in Europe seven or eight years ago.
On June 4, 1783, the Montgolfier brothers performed a public performance in the Place Annone in Lyon. A simulated balloon with a circumference of 110 feet rose and flew 1.5 miles.
On September 19 of the same year, in front of the Palace of Versailles in Paris, the Montgolfier brothers performed a hot-air balloon launch performance for the king, queen, court ministers and 130,000 Paris citizens.
On the afternoon of November 21 of the same year, the Montgolfier brothers conducted the world's first manned aerial flight of a hot air balloon from Chateau Muerte in Paris. They flew for 25 minutes, flew over half of Paris and landed near the Place d'Italie.
This flight preceded the Wright brothers' flight by a full 120 years. In terms of inflatable balloons, the French Robert brothers were the first to fly into the sky in hydrogen-filled balloons.
As for this flight, Zhu Daohua, the "Prince of the Ming Dynasty", was also invited to visit. He also offered a high salary to hire the Montgolfier brothers to come to China with him, but it was a pity that they refused.
However, after receiving a large sum of money, the two men agreed to teach the craftsmen of Zhu Daohua the technology of making hot-air balloons.
Hot air balloons are of great military value.
Of course it's not like taking a hot air balloon to drop bombs - on the one hand, hot air balloons can only float with the wind, and it is difficult to control the direction and speed. In addition, the recovery of hot air balloons is also more dangerous.
The military applications of hot air balloons are mainly for reconnaissance and communications.
The hot air balloons currently displayed by the Ming Army are tethered hot air balloons.
There is a rope tied to the ground.
The fuel extracted from whale fat burned roaringly, giving off a strange smell.
Two huge balls rose into the sky.
Instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The white ball is painted with the sun and moon flag on a red background on both sides.
As the ball rises, the basket suspended by a rope also rises in the air.
Each hot air balloon has a crew of two.
After the two lookouts entered and boarded the gondola, the hot air balloon began to increase the heat.
While everyone was stunned.
Two hot air balloons slowly rose into the sky.
As if hanging above the clouds.
The Ming army is fine here.
After all, everyone knows that this "Ascension Ball" belongs to them.
Since the "Ascension Ball" is our own, there is nothing to be afraid of.
This must be because King Ming has been blessed by God. The Qing Tatars have done so many evil things that even God can't stand it anymore, so he sent King Ming down to earth to cleanse the demons!
"Long live the Ming Dynasty!! Long live the Ming Dynasty!! Long live the Ming Dynasty!!"
The shouts of long live came one after another from the soldiers of the five brigades.
Immediately afterwards.
The civilian men accompanying the Ming army who were digging trenches with their heads covered also looked up at the sky.
House-sized hot air balloons float overhead.
There are two figures wearing Ming army uniforms clearly visible on the hanging basket below.
"It's flying!"
"This...is this a god?!"
"Who is the god?"
"Prince Ming! It must be Prince Ming!"
After a brief discussion, everyone also shouted long live.
The morale of the Ming army was immediately boosted beyond belief.
Honestly.
Even Zhu Daohua didn't expect it.
Just two hot air balloons raised for reconnaissance.
The entire army was actually given a morale-boosting buff.
What about the Qing army?
Including Zhu Shedou.
Everyone opened their mouths and stared blankly at the slowly rising balloon.
"What's this?"
"What a big ball!"
"There are people! People are flying into the sky!"
"That man can still wear Ni Ming's clothes!"
"Flying into the sky, isn't that a fairy?" '
"The soldiers who rebel against the Ming Dynasty are gods?"
"impossible!"
"Then King Ming is a god?"
"this..."
Most people today are theists.
Now I see such a shocking scene in Feitian.
All heads have stopped moving.
Zhu Shedou was murmuring: "What on earth is this?"
Agui, Fukang'an and Eldenbao in Ganzhou City also saw the hot air balloon flying in the air.
With trembling lips, Manchuria's Baturu Eldenbao pointed at the two hot air balloons in the sky depicting the Great Ming Dynasty and the Moon Flag, and said in a trembling voice: "This... what is this? Are there really gods?" ?!”
If there is a god, why doesn't this god protect the Qing Dynasty?
Is it really because the Qing Dynasty committed too many crimes?
Sin, sin, sin...
When Eldenbao thought of this, he broke out in cold sweat.
"What a god! It must be Ni Ming who is causing trouble!!"
Fukangan scolded.
"That's right! It's not a god, it must be a ghost!" Agui said, "It's either a ghost or a demon. Anyway, it's a monster!"
Fukangan was stunned, is this what I meant?
Before Fukangan could react.
Agui grabbed one of his Gesheha and said: "Go to the city and find some black dogs!"
"Black dog?" Fukangan was stunned again and again, "Why does the commander want a black dog?"
"Black dog blood!" Agui laughed, "I heard that black dog blood can ward off evil spirits."
"Inform the whole army that I have a black and white method that can defeat any monster, so there is no need to worry!"
Only then did Fukangan understand.
It wasn't Agui who suddenly became stupid.
Instead, use the black dog's blood to break the demonic law of Ni Ming.
Although I don't know what method Ni Ming uses to send people to heaven - it certainly can't be gods, monsters or the like.
But now many of the soldiers below think it is a witchcraft.
That is if there is no way to crack it on your side.
Then this battle cannot be fought.
Therefore, it is necessary to use a black dog's blood to break the Ascension Sphere.
Let's have a battle between gods.
I don’t know if it’s useful or not. Just believe it is useful to the people below.
...
When Agui was busy preparing for a battle between gods and immortals.
Zhu Daohua has no intention of playing this.
The purpose of launching the two hot air balloons was to observe the layout of the Golden Fort and Ganzhou City.
Each gondola is equipped with an observer holding a telescope and a draftsman responsible for drawing.
"There is a bomb shelter inside the city wall. There are soldiers carrying grain on the left side of the commander's tent. Because it is a storage place, the warehouse on the left is far away from open fires and cooking places. There is a possibility that it is an area for storing gunpowder!"
Following the lookout's words, the draftsman responsible for recording and painting quickly drew the layout of the Golden Castle, put it into a metal container, and slid the container down along a rope.
Under a hot air balloon.
A soldier took the layout plan and handed it to a staff officer.
In Zhu Daohua's handsome tent.
A layout map of the interior of the Golden Castle was quickly hung up.
"The Golden Castle is not big. It is all within the coverage of artillery. It can be destroyed directly with artillery."
Zhu Daohua looked at the layout of the Golden Castle and said.
There is a hot air balloon for guidance.
The artillery can accurately hit all valuable targets in the fort.
"First remove this Golden Fort. It is best to mount the artillery on the wall of the Golden Fort! In this way... the entire Ganzhou City will be under the threat of our army's artillery!"
Napoleon pointed to the Golden Castle and said.
It stands to reason.
Before the Qing army defended Ganzhou City, they should have set up large and small star forts to defend the main city of Ganzhou.
only....
After driving away the people of Ganzhou.
In a short period of time, the Qing army could not find anyone to work.
With insufficient manpower, they could only strengthen the defense of Ganzhou City as much as possible.
"Then take down this Golden Castle first."
Zhu Daohua pointed to the place on the layout plan where gunpowder was suspected to be stored.
"Deploy three-inch howitzers and aim at their gunpowder storage areas..."
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
