On November 9th of the 17th year of Chunxi, on sunny day, Zhao Han's special safe olive ship sailed again. This time, it was not to go to Taipei, but the olive ship left the port. In front of it was a warship opening and three escort warships followed by three warships. One of them was the only iron-armored warship under Zhao Han. It was a bit exaggerated to say that it was an iron-armored warship, but the surface of this ship was indeed covered with a layer of iron. In this era, no one seemed to care about it.

Mao Geng is on the olive boat at this moment. At this moment, the side door is open, and you can see the sea and sky outside the door. However, the consequence of this ship's excessive pursuit of safety is that its vision is greatly limited, which makes everyone have no intention of enjoying the sea view along the way.

Zhao Han went to Luzon Island for inspection. In addition to Mao Geng, there were also Lu Jiuyuan, Ye Shi, Lu Yijian and Liu Guo. Zhao Han almost pulled Zhu Xi into the inspection team. However, Zhu Xi was busy investigating things during this period and was unable to travel with him, so Zhao Han gave up.

As the Chief Executive, Mao Geng had a lot of things to do, but it was not true that he could not even take time for a job. Besides, with Lao Qiu staying in the Special Administrative Region, there was nothing he could not handle, so you can rest assured. Mao Geng thought that as a leader, his leadership style was time to transform. He had always been a business-oriented leader in the past, and we had to learn to be a hand-off manager in the future.

Zhao Han pulled these people to Luzon, so he was naturally looking for a lively life.

There is no need to chat along the way, and the topic is mostly about the Song army's cross-sea expedition to Luzon. When it comes to this expedition, we must mention the great success of the hot air balloon grenade tactic.

"Yi Sheng, this Chen---Chen Peishi is a brave general who dares to fight and makes sense. Of course, if you make a hot air balloon, your first achievement is Mao Yisheng."

Chen Yujie wanted to use the word "Pace" at first, but someone immediately rejected it among the time travelers. He couldn't be so terrible, but he changed it to a poem about Pei, which had a bit of a girl's taste. Zhao Yan felt that the word "Pace" was too elegant and had nothing to do with military generals.

Mao Geng dared not take credit in front of Xiao Lu. This hot air balloon really has no technical content, so he said casually:

"This hot air balloon is not worth mentioning. To be honest, Mr. Xiangshan has made great contributions to the construction of grenade bombs. Over the past year, there have been a complete range of grenades, landmines, and various types of bombs, and their power has increased greatly. It is precisely because of these bombs with great power that they have achieved the magical power of high-altitude bombing."

Mao Geng's praise made Lu Jiuyuan feel a little ashamed and hurriedly said:

"Yi Sheng should not mention my Lu's merits. It should be a lesson. Judging from the effects of the grenades used in this Western Expedition, Yi Sheng is right. Grenades should not use ceramic shells and paper shells. Facts have proved that one is easy to damage and the other is easy to carry. Ceramic shell grenades are inconvenient to store and carry. Paper shell grenades are very easy to get damp. Iron shell grenades are the best choice for marching and fighting. Lu was ashamed that because of Lu, the ceramic grenades caused by accident, which is a profound lesson. Since then, neither ceramic grenades nor paper shell grenades can be made, and only iron shell grenades are made."

Speaking of this Western Expedition, it was far from comparable to Taiwan's mobilization operation on the ground, which just tests the transport and carrying performance of weapons. I never expected that the number of ceramic grenades damaged during this expedition was as high as 30%. Especially when the soldiers climbed and disembarked from the rope net, the ceramic grenades they carried were accidentally smashed or crushed. The most tragic soldier accidentally fired the ceramic grenade during the climbing process, causing one death and three injuries, which made the soldiers resist the use of ceramic grenades. Originally, Lu Jiuyuan attached great importance to ceramic shell grenades because ceramic grenades were favorable and the power of the explosion was not inferior to that of the iron shell bombs, so there were quite a few ceramic grenades made. However, after this expedition, the facts were better than words, and Lu Jiuyuan had to admit that it seemed that grenades could not cut corners.

Lu Yi smiled in his heart and thought that Lu Jiuyuan was just as good as his father in saving costs. After he got older, he probably liked to think about how to save money. In this regard, no matter ancient and modern times, there is no difference. However, it must be said that the production of pig iron in this era was still too low. It seems that using pig iron to make consumables such as grenades seems to be really boring, so Lu Jiuyuan's starting point is more understandable. Mr. Xiangshan, we also need to make good relationships, so we might as well follow the hair:

"Mr. Xiangshan, in my opinion, this ceramic grenade is not unusable. After all, the cost is low. If it can be properly transported and carried properly, ceramic grenades and ceramic landmines can also be used as the best. I heard that the warrior named Qin, who won the first siege, likes to use ceramic grenades very much. If he hadn't thought that the iron-shell grenade was expensive when throwing iron-shell grenades, he would not have been willing to throw them for a while, and maybe he wouldn't have figured out the trick of explosion in the air!"

Seeing Lu Yi say this, Zhao Han also echoed:

"Qi'an said it right. As the saying goes, "It's a blessing to lose your horse!"

Amid the laughter of everyone, Lu Jiuyuan shook his head and only smiled bitterly.

After laughing, Liu Guo said mysteriously:

"I heard that this time I used a new kind of fierce gunpowder, which has increased its power several times. Is that true?"

Liu Guo was named by Zhao Jun and went to Luzon for an interview. Liu Guo is well-informed in the Special Administrative Region, but his sources of information are complicated and difficult to say it is accurate.

Zhao Yan smiled and said:

"Mr. Gaizhi, there is fierce gunpowder. As for the power of fierce gunpowder, you heard that it is a little exaggerated. However, Mr. Mao has expressed his opinion that in time, the future fierce gunpowder will be ten or a hundred times stronger than today's gunpowder. I believe what Yi Sheng said."

Lu Jiuyuan knew that Liu Guo was talking about zinc powder gunpowder, and there was nothing else. It was just adding zinc powder to the gunpowder that grind to extremely fine powder. Mao Geng called it zinc heater. After addition, the explosive power of this gunpowder has indeed been greatly improved. As for how much power it has been increased, according to Mao Geng, it has been increased by at least 30%. It is estimated that Liu Guo in front of him heard some rumor. Of course, it would be extremely exaggerated. Haha, it is completely understandable.

In Mao Geng's eyes, adding zinc powder is a temporary method. Of course, it is best to add aluminum powder - aluminum thermal agent, which can greatly improve the burning and explosion effect. However, to obtain aluminum, you have to use the electrolysis process. At present, the progress in power generation is quite good. As long as there is enough electricity, it is easy to prepare chlorate/potassium. The explosion effect of chlorate/potassium is much stronger than **. If there is icing on the cake of aluminum powder, the power of the new version of Dasong's grenade is powerful.

After hearing what Zhao Han said, Liu Guo thought that this rumor was not groundless after all, but he was not inconvenient to inquire about such a secret matter, so he simply changed the topic:

"Since this air bombing is unparalleled, if you fight against the Jin soldiers in the future, you only need to raise a few hot air balloons and throw grenades violently. No matter how fierce the Jin soldiers are, they cannot resist such bombing. In this way, isn't it a slight effort to destroy the Jin soldiers!"

"Brother, this is a big mistake. This hot air balloon depends on the wind direction. If the wind direction is wrong, it cannot hover over the Jin army formation and throw grenades. Second, the Jin army has a strong crossbow, and the hot air balloon cannot float in a low altitude. It is safe to rise to a high altitude, but the hot air balloon is unstable and the bomb is not accurate, so the effect may not be good. Besides, it takes a lot of time to raise the hot air balloon. The fighter planes are fleeting between the battle formations of both sides. I am afraid that the hot air balloon will win at that time when I get up the hot air balloon.

The loss has been divided. Therefore, against the Jin soldiers, the hot air balloon may not be good." Lu Yi saw that he was actually very jealous of Chen Yujie. This guy was so popular in the battle of Luzon. Originally, at least half of the popularity was his own, but he snatched it away. If Liu Guo blew the hot air balloon tactics in the report article, wouldn't Chen Yujie go to heaven? Therefore, we have to pour some cold water on this hot air balloon's air bombing tactics. Besides, the fact is the same!

"So that's it, I'm taught." Liu Guo's name changed quickly, and it can be said that he is doing good. It is said that in Jin Yong's book, there is a protagonist named Yang Guo, and I don't know what the origin of Liu Guo's name is.

A few days later, the fleet arrived at Bolilu. The Guoyue coalition army had already swept away Pishenna, but after searching for Pishen, there was no sign of Shen Zhen. Shen ran away! Needless to say, it must have been to Bolilu. Guoyue coalition army followed the situation and attacked Bolilu again, and it didn't take much trouble to capture Bolilu. However, there was still no giant enemy Shen Zhen. However, it was still not found. However, it was impossible to find one island after another without arresting Shen Zhen. Therefore, the main force of the Song army is currently stationed in Bolilu. After resting, it will launch an operation to sweep Luzon Island.

Under the leadership of Guo Ni, Yue Ju and Chen Yujie, Zhao Yan inspected the Bolilu Castle with great enthusiasm, but to be honest, this Bolilu Castle was really disappointing. Zhao Yan had previously received a report saying that Bolilu Castle is far better than Pishena Castle. He thought that Bolilu Castle was at least ten miles of prosperous, but when he looked at it, it was not called "prosperity". It seems that the Song Dynasty is the most prosperous place in the world. If you look at the context of "Ha Tang", the barbarian castle is really a scumbag!

However, the area of ​​Luzon Island is said to be three times that of Taiwan. The originally terrifying miasma here has not been worrying about having Doctor Peng's magical formula. From this point of view, it is another treasure land, just for this, I like it! By the way, this is also because Zhao Yan was impatient to come to Luzon for inspection. Why do real men be proud? Of course, it is to expand the territory. Zhao Yan burned it very much and ran to him immediately.

When Zhao Yan came to inspect, there were also some serious things arranged, that is, awarding medals.

On the open ground outside the city, six thousand Song soldiers listed a neat square formation. At the front of the square formation were 360 ​​soldiers wearing shiny white armor. They were musket battalions under Chen Yujie's command.

Qin Jianlai was in the front row, and Lin Wu was beside him. Qin Jianlai and Lin Wu were both soldiers with low figures and thin figures. Only such soldiers were suitable for serving as passengers on hot air balloons. The crew was lighter and the other loads could be carried by the hot air balloons. This was easy to understand. According to their height arrangement, Qin Jianlai and Lin Wu were naturally in the first row.

Qin Jian was both excited and nervous at this moment. What was excited was that he would receive the medal awarded by the Duke himself. What was nervous was that he had never experienced such a situation as going to the stage to meet the Duke. It seemed that he was even more nervous than the real swords and guns in front of the battle.

Qin Jianlai not only made his first contribution in the siege of Vishena, but in the next siege of attacking Bolilu, Qin Jianlai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a new idea, proposing to shoot down with a shotgun in the hanging basket. Chen Yujie thought, "Come on!" Hearing this, he thought, "Come on!" Fifty meters of air, with a shotgun, with a shotgun with a range of 30 meters, may have a limited range of more than sixty meters, and may be the best killing range within the range of 50 meters. Facts have proved that this is really a stroke of magic. A shotgun can even match three or four grenades. The terrifying shooting at a high level made the defenders extremely scared. The morale of the defenders collapsed quickly. This time, Bolilu Castle fell at a faster speed.

Qin Jianlai came up to the stage with fear and fear. Zhao Yan noticed that the thin hero looked slightly shaking under the slightly fat and shining white armor. Zhao Yan walked over and patted Qin Jianlai on the shoulder. He felt that the other party was a little stiff. Zhao Yan laughed kindly, so Qin Jianlai also responded to the smile, smiling a little silly, but very cute. The passionate march kept playing. Zhao Yan picked up a gold medal from the plate and hung it on Qin Jianlai's chest.

Then, Qin Jian turned around and saluted the military formation, and a burst of warm applause broke out from the military formation.
Chapter completed!
