A few days ago, Wang Zhaojun betrayed the secret of the "oil bomb", and Wang Mang was afraid of getting into trouble, so he also donated the 100 Kong Ming lanterns that he had secretly made in the past two years.
Wang Mang knew that his secret development of oil bombs had aroused Liu Wei's suspicions, and if Kong Ming lanterns were found again, he didn't know how this son of heaven would treat him if he could determine his life and death, so he immediately took the initiative to hand over Kong Ming lanterns, claiming that he ordered his subordinates to make these Kong Ming lanterns in order to defend Qingzhou.
Compared with the "oil bomb" that came out for the first time, Kong Ming lanterns that can soar against the wind are not uncommon, so the soldiers in the drama county town have paid attention to oil bombs, and few people are interested in these Kong Ming lanterns.
However, Liu Wei keenly found that the scientific and technological content of these Kong Ming lanterns made by Wang Mang was far above the Kong Ming lanterns invented by Zhuge Liang, and after a lot of improvements on the basis of Kong Ming's invention, its flight ability was even comparable to that of a hot air balloon, which made Liu Wei gasp even more, and he was more determined in his heart to get rid of Wang Mang as soon as possible.
But in order to avoid startling the snakes, Liu Wei remained quiet on the surface, and did not even discuss with Wang Mang whether these Kong Ming lanterns could come in handy, but only ordered the soldiers to load them into the carriage and take them to the battlefield in case of emergency.
The north wind was howling, blowing Liu Wei's clothes hunting, climbing the peak and looking south, he could vaguely see the beacon fire burning a hundred miles away, and his heart was not only surging: "Oil bombs, hot air balloons, northwest winds, everything is ready, I can finally show my flying ability, this time I will do something that will make the world jaw-dropping."
Before the crossing, Liu Wei's biggest hobby besides work was bungee jumping, in order to release his work pressure and show his sports vitality.
Influenced by this, Liu Wei has taken hot air balloons many times and mastered the skills of skydiving, so he is no stranger to the sky.
After the crossing, Zhuge Liang's invention of the Kong Ming lantern allowed Liu Wei to try the feeling of flying in the sky again, and he had tried to ride the Kong Ming lantern many times in his spare time, and the flying skills displayed even made the professional paratroopers of the Eastern Han Dynasty convinced and high-fived.
And this time, Liu Wei believes that it is time for him to show his talents.
"Wang Qing, these Kong Ming lanterns are all supervised by you" Liu Wei closed his gaze from afar, stared at Wang Mang with a blazing gaze and asked.
Wang Mang's heart sank, and he hurriedly bowed down: "Back to Your Majesty's words, these Kong Ming lanterns were made by Wei Chen and a craftsman named Ma Jun on the basis of Zhuge Liang's invention.
Most of the entire production process is from Ma Jun's hands, and Weichen only put forward some reference opinions. ” Liu Wei's heart moved slightly, and he muttered secretly: "The Ma Jun that Wang Mang is talking about is Ma Deheng, a great inventor in the Three Kingdoms period, and if there is his assistance, coupled with Wang Mang's knowledge, it is not surprising that he can make a Kong Ming lantern that is comparable to a hot air balloon." ” "Oh, this Ma Jun is a talent, I don't know where he is from, how old is he this year" Liu Wei showed appreciation and asked without a trace.
Wang Mang replied cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty's words, this Ma Jun's ancestral home is Fufeng in Yongzhou, and his name is Deheng, and he is twenty-five years old this year.
Because of his silence, he never got the opportunity to become a leader, so he joined the army and became a carpenter in desperation.
When the minister was digging coal in Fan County, he saw that he was ingenious and made far more equipment than ordinary people, so he promoted him, only to find that he was a wise and foolish craftsman.
So he reused it and made him a craftsman, cooperating with Weichen to make some tools and instruments for extracting oil and coal. ” Liu Wei bowed his head and said: "I have seen that the batch of Kong Ming lanterns you made are more exquisite than those made by Zhuge Liang, it can be seen that this Ma Jun is a talent, I will definitely reuse it when I go back, I don't know where he is now."
"Back to Your Majesty, Ma Deheng is now in the city of Xixian County."
Wang Mang replied.
Liu Wei raised his hand to caress the inch of his chin, and praised quietly: "This Ma Deheng is a talent, but Wang Qing, you are a genius from the past and the present."
Wang Mang's heart was shocked, and he didn't know what Liu Wei's words meant, so he hurriedly retracted his head into his neck, bowed his waist and said: "Thanks to Your Majesty's false praise, Weichen has some ability."
Liu Wei nodded slightly: "Since you can create such a delicate Kong Ming lantern, I believe that you will also be able to fly in the sky."
"Uh, it's okay, I've mastered some flying skills."
Wang Mang replied cautiously, not daring to categorically deny Liu Wei's inquiry.
Only then did Liu Wei throw out the purpose: "Since this is the case, then you can follow me to attack the Tang army."
"Ah" Wang Mang was stunned, "Your Majesty means to go out in person" Liu Wei nodded in an unquestioning tone: "Yes, I want you to accompany me to personally go out on horse, ride the Kong Ming lantern, carry oil bombs, and attack the Tang army in the air." ” Wang Mang hurriedly admonished: "It's not a pity for Weichen to die, but Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, how can you easily risk that at least two hundred people in the team brought by the minister have practiced flying, and the minister sent them to the front line to help the battle with Kong Ming lanterns, and the minister is in the rear to protect His Majesty's holy car." ” Liu Wei refused without hesitation: "I have practiced driving Kong Ming lanterns, so I can be considered a little bit of a master; And if you can improve the Kong Ming lantern, you must also be able to control it skillfully.
The stakes are so high in this battle of Qingzhou that we can only win and not lose, so I decided to soar into the sky with the paratroopers to help the soldiers on the front line."
"Since Your Majesty has made up your mind, the minister will swear to follow Your Majesty" Seeing that Liu Bian's attitude was so firm, Wang Mang simply agreed to his heart, anyway, Liu Bian planned to go to heaven with him, so what was he afraid of Liu Wei stroked his beard and said: "There is still a distance of fifty or sixty miles from here to the front line, so you can immediately open a few clay pots and fill them with oil bombs on the spot, and then make a few hundred more of them."
Then our monarchs and ministers took advantage of the northwest wind to use Kong Ming lanterns to carry oil bombs to attack the Tang army, killing several generals of the Tang army, and helping the soldiers on the front line. ” "Obey the Divine Commandment" At this point, Wang Mang had no other choice, so he immediately took the order to go down the hillside to fill oil bombs.
Liu Wei also sent an order to Wei Chi Gong, and after he finished slaughtering the Tang army, he immediately waved his army to the south to participate in the battle, assisting Wei Qing, Yang Liulang and others to counterattack the Han army, and after Wang Mang finished filling the oil bombs, he would personally lead the paratroopers to air support.
After Lieutenant Chi Gong led his troops away, Liu Wei ordered the team to be stationed on the spot, and selected 100 soldiers who had practiced Kong Ming Lantern to stand by on the hillside, and only waited for Wang Mang to make another batch of oil bombs, and then took off against the wind and attacked the Tang army. t1706231537:
