The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 848
"Zhou Li" stipulates that the emperor has three dynasties and five sects, but since the Warring States period, few people have followed this system in the palace system of the capital city. The Sui Dynasty restored the system of five sects and three dynasties, Daxing Palace, Ziwei Palace, and Shenwu Palace were no exceptions. The Daxing Palace and Xiangyang Taiji Palace also follow this example.From south to north, the five gates of Daxing Palace are Chengtian Gate, Daye Gate, Zhuming Gate, Liangyi Gate, and Ganlu Gate.If the Qianyang Hall of Ziwei Palace, the tallest building in the world, is the head of Wandian, and the Shengwu Hall, Huiyou Hall, and Yecheng Chaotian Hall are the second, third, and fourth tallest buildings respectively, then Daxing Hall, the main hall of Daxing Palace, is second to none. Fifth...but also the tallest building in Daxing City...

On this day, a flying Shenzhou hovered above the sky above the top floor of Daxing Hall. This is the third generation of Shenzhou. Its appearance has also changed from a big lantern to a slender shape. It has really changed from a hanging basket to a boat, and the hot air balloon above it has also become double-layered. The outer layer is sewn with cowhide that can withstand bows and arrows. The inner material remains the same, but it is changed according to the overall shape. The shape of the flying shuttle is very safe, but it is scary big, but it also increases the carrying capacity from the previous five fully equipped soldiers to the current 20. If weapons and equipment are not counted, it is not a problem to go up to 40 soldiers. Great progress is undoubtedly a leap forward.

"You must have heard about the Flying Shenzhou!"

Perhaps because Lao Tzu was his ancestor, Li Yuan built a huge open-air Tai Chi picture in the middle of the top floor of Daxing Palace, but built a round brick wall on the edge and covered it with glazed tiles. Yang Tong was standing in the middle at this time, facing the people who came to watch Concubine and confidant Wen Wu said.

"Your Majesty's wonderful idea, I am astonished as a man of heaven." More than 30 civil and military ministers bowed and said.

Flying Shenzhou has been test-flying from time to time recently. Don’t say it’s their insiders, even ordinary people in Daxing have seen it. It’s just that this big guy who can be called a beast is regarded as a fairy by the ignorant people, and they think that Yang Tong has been sent to heaven. Only the Son of Heaven who is favored and recognized by God will have this miracle appear,
If not, why didn't Li Yuan rule Daxing?
Why didn't Yang Tong come to Daxing when he wasn't here?
The people of Daxing City who have this consensus will kneel down in awe every time they see the flying Shenzhou, and because it started from the imperial palace and returned to the imperial palace, people who have seen "auspiciousness" will be blessed by the gods. ' Yang Tong was full of awe, which not only made the law and order of Daxing City more stable, but even the kings and envoys from all over the world regarded Yang Tong as a god.

"I asked you to come here not to show you this known Flying Godship, but to show you two other flying artifacts." Yang Tong said with a smile.

"Anything else?" Everyone became even more excited.

"Yes." Yang Tong nodded and said, "The Flying Shenzhou is tens of feet above the ground. If an accident happens, the people on it will be smashed to pieces, so the cabin is equipped with life-saving parachutes. Please take care."

Yang Tong waved the command flag in his hand.

Everyone picked up their binoculars and aimed at the Flying Shenzhou. After a while, they saw a door slowly opened in the bulkhead, and a soldier jumped out. Under the horror of everyone, the soldier's back was flattened. The wooden box suddenly flew around, and a huge strange umbrella appeared on his back out of thin air. When the big umbrella opened, the soldier tied to the big umbrella stopped in the air for a moment, and the speed of descent suddenly slowed down. , as the altitude dropped, he became slower and slower, and finally stood on the ground in a stable manner. That's it.

"Look at the sky again."

Before Yang Tong could finish his sentence, another person jumped off the flying Shenzhou, and it still landed safely.Followed by the third, fourth... No one jumped off until No.40.

Yang Tong smiled and asked, "Isn't it amazing?"

The most terrible problem of skydiving is that the parachute cannot be opened. Even in the later generations with advanced technology, there will be one or two accidents where the parachute cannot be opened occasionally.Even though he watched the Sui soldiers parachute no less than two hundred times, Yang Tong was still amazed.

I feel more and more that He Chou is a treasure that cannot be unearthed!

"It's simply amazing! Besides, I don't know what to say." Yang Gongren shook his head in admiration.

These words also represent the voice of everyone.

Yang Shanhui, who was shocked back to his senses just now, said very sharply: "This is a brand-new army, and a brand-new method of warfare was born from it."

Yang Gongren also understood, and said pleasantly: "That's right, if ten flying Shenzhous are flown over the Puppet Tang Dynasty Palace in Chengdu at night, the [-] soldiers on them can use parachutes to land in the palace without anyone noticing." Among them, Li Yuan came to him to behead him."

"This type of unit is called airborne troops. It can indeed go deep into the enemy's rear and decapitate the enemy's commander. But there are also many shortcomings. First, the target is too large, and it will be discovered as soon as it appears. A few airborne soldiers can't change anything; secondly . If you want to achieve unexpected miraculous effects, you must fly several feet above the sky, but with the current situation of the Flying Shenzhou, you can't fly that high. Even if you fly that high, if you encounter windy weather, the landing soldiers will be scattered. It is difficult to assemble in a short period of time, once the enemy is aware of it, they will be wiped out one by one; third, if they land at night, they will also not be able to assemble." Yang Tong said.

Yang Shanhui pondered for a moment, and said: "Although that is the case, for important strongholds with few troops, we can still parachute elite troops at night. For example, we can gather General Qin, General Luo, General Pei, General Yuchi, General Niu and other strong generals in one place. A flying Shenzhou, and then airborne at night, even if the enemy stronghold has a thousand horses and thousands of troops, it is still useless."

"correct."

"It's a great idea."

Everyone surprised and agreed.

"Your Majesty!" Luo Shixin chuckled, "The general also thinks that the right servant's shot is a good method, the general should try it first?"

Yu Chigong said: "There is still the last general!"

Xue Wanjun also said: "The last general will also go."

"Go first without going."

"I said it first..."

"Wei Chen also wants to experience the experience!"

"..."

Thrill-seeking is the characteristic of every man with an adventurous spirit, and it has nothing to do with any era. One or two of the civil and military officials of the Sui Dynasty were blushing and thick-necked.

"Shut up, old man." The white-haired veteran of the three dynasties, Li Jing, roared aggressively, and everyone shut their mouths in embarrassment.

However, Li Jing said in a blink of an eye: "You little guys, don't you know how to respect the youngest? If you want to dance, you should be the first."

"..." Everyone's faces turned dark. This old man usually dislikes people saying that he is old, but now he is growing old by relying on his old age.
"The Flying Shenzhou and the parachute have been built, are you still afraid that you will have no chance?" Yang Tong couldn't help but laugh.

"But I'm in a hurry, Your Majesty." Wei Zheng said.

Yang Tong told a white lie: "For safety reasons, He Shilang needs to fold the parachute by himself, and put it layer by layer into the mechanism wooden box. The process is very slow, and it has already been used up."

"Ugh!"

"Ugh!"

The crowd groaned.

"That, that, isn't there two more?" The sharp-eyed Luo Shixin suddenly found two flat wooden boxes lying quietly on the side.

Swish!
A pair of eyes looked at Yang Tong and turned into a wolf.

Yang Tong couldn't stand this kind of stare, and shook his head quickly: "These two are the umbrellas of life prepared for another flying artifact, and they cannot be used for skydiving."

"What's the other one?"

Everyone was stunned and remembered what Yang Tong said before.

Yang Tong chuckled: "This kind is more interesting and exciting than airborne from the Flying Shenzhou. It can make people spread their wings and fly in the sky like birds and paper kites."

"Wait and see."

"Wait and see."

"..."

With the successful cases of Flying Shenzhou and Airborne Troops ahead, everyone is full of endless expectations for aircraft that have not yet appeared.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Tong asked someone to bring a long leather pouch. When he opened it, he found that there were steel rods, steel plates, and a large triangular piece of hard cloth. There were dozens of threads on both ends of the steel rods. .

"Can this thing fly?" Looking at a pile of steel rods of different lengths and fabrics that were too small for a parachute, everyone was disappointed.

"I said it can fly, so of course it can fly." Yang Tong ignored these natives and began to assemble them. He made the tower, keel, and tripod one by one from the threaded steel rods, and then fixed the suspenders. The cables are connected firmly one by one, and it takes about a cup of tea time to assemble a capable two-person hang glider.

Li Jing held doubts: "How can such a small thing fly?"

Yang Tong said, "The paper kite is even smaller."

"But paper kites don't take people with them!"

"This flying machine is flying with divine wings...it can take two people..." Yang Tong said something even more unconvincing.

"The two of you?" Everyone was even more incredulous.

"To tell you the truth, I have flown and parachuted several times." Yang Tong didn't want to talk nonsense, let alone answer a hundred thousand doubts, so he simply confessed an unacceptable fact, "Not only Zhen, Empress, Concubine Wu, Concubine Li, and Concubine De also flew over. Anyway, they are all there, if you don't believe me, you can ask."

"..." Everyone looked at the calm Wei Fengwu in unanimous agreement, not quite believing that the "virtuous and virtuous, motherly mother of the world" queen did crazy feats of flying into the sky.

Wei Fengwu was frank: "The Holy Majesty took us to fly once in Longshouyuan respectively yesterday. It was a bit scary at first, but it was quite interesting afterwards."

"Gudu Gudu Gudu" everyone swallowed their saliva: This family is too crazy.

Yang Tong took off his robe, revealing the bunt inside, put the parachute on his shoulders, locked the straps, put on the goggles, raised the hang glider to the upwind direction, and made a dive posture, "One more person. "

Li Jing's eyes bulged out, and he exclaimed, "You're grabbing it like this, and rushing down from here?"

"Exactly." Yang Tong nodded and said, "Which one of you is coming?"

"Your Majesty, the last general will come first!" Yang Tong always thought that Luo Shixin would be the first to respond, but he didn't want Xie Yingdeng to be the first to come.

"Loving children is my virtue in Tai Sui, General Xie, you have to let me." Luo Shixin was snatched away by him, and he gave an unreasonable reason very depressed.

"I agree with this..." Yang Qinfang strode forward and said with a smile: "I am the youngest here, General Luo, give way."

"..." Luo Shixin wanted to hit the wall.

Yang Qinfang went to the Fifth Army yesterday to be an instructor, and missed the opportunity to fly. She was so depressed that she heard that she was going to fly here today. parachute.

Xie Yingdeng and Luo Shixin naturally didn't dare to argue with her, so they had to retreat.

Yang Tong waited for Yang Qinfang to carry the parachute and put on the goggles, then explained to her the precautions and how to use the parachute.

In fact, the structure of the hang glider is simple, safe and easy to learn. You only need to run 5-6 steps against the wind, and you can soar into the sky. Moreover, this double hang glider does not need to be controlled by Yang Qinfang. You just need to hold on to the handrail firmly, which is a matter of life and safety. , Yang Qinfang was particularly obedient this time.

When everything was ready, she asked, "What if you let go and forget to open the parachute?"

"Don't you have two steel cables around your waist? They connect you to the flying wings, even if you let go, you won't fall off. Get ready to take off." Yang Tong smiled loudly and rushed forward a few steps against the wind, his hands Feet suddenly soared into the air.Leaving the roof of the building with a burst of exclamation, gliding in the sky like a bird.

Seeing that they really flew up, and they didn't fall down as imagined, but hovered in the air, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and their mouths were so wide that they could almost stuff a fist into them.

"Ahhh!"

Almost at the same time, those who heard it felt sad, and those who saw it burst into tearful screams... Yang Qinfang beside Yang Tong was so nervous that her whole body was tense, her eyes were tightly closed, and she could only scream in horror.

Like all the 'veteran flying drivers', Yang Tong not only didn't remind anything, but instead had a smirk on his face, seeming to enjoy the screams of the new flying pilots.

He controlled the 'Flying God Wing' to fly higher and higher, and the palace complexes in Daxing Palace became smaller and smaller, and the magnificent Daxing City gradually became a giant cuboid that was long and narrow from north to south. Looking down from the sky, the grandeur of Daxing City Take a panoramic view.

I don't know how long it took.

Yang Qinfang secretly opened her eyes, and finally realized that she was flying high in the sky, and it was quite stable. The scene below was the center of Daxing—Daxing Palace.

Looking beyond the red palace wall and looking into the distance, you can even see the whole picture of Daxing City, and a sense of desolation and simplicity comes to your face. Daxing City, which has changed hands several times and finally returned to the capital of Sui Dynasty, quietly and completely appeared in her eyes. .

Yang Qinfang was shocked by this scene. In her eyes, Daxing City was so solemn and murderous, like a bird sleeping peacefully on the plain!
"Ahhh!"

At this moment, Yang Qinfang had forgotten her fear, and used the purest and simplest voice to express the excitement in her heart to the bottom.

There are two screams before and after, but the emotions are different.
