He Guilan has managed Huangjia Tuntian in Funing for three years, and she also belongs to calling the wind and rain and holding real power, which is equivalent to most of the county princes and gentry in Funing City、.。

But when she saw Huang Sheng, the strong woman couldn't help but feel weak, and she also felt speechless, and she was stupidly silent after being arranged by Mei Xiang to sit down.

Huang Sheng looked at her and said with a smile: "Miss He Guilan, I have been waiting for the opportunity to thank you for your gift in person, but I know that the two boxes of wealth you gave back then can solve the urgent need of the Huang family!" ”

Huang Sheng originally said something nice to close the distance, but who knew that He Guilan remembered the scene of refusing to marry, and suddenly felt ashamed of herself, and her head hung lower without saying a word.

Mei Xiang leaned on He Guilan and sat and took her hand, and found that her hands were cold.

Mei Xiang comforted her and said: "Miss, the lord really praises you from time to time, the life of the people of Yongping Mansion is thriving, and Miss is the first credit." ”

With Mei Xiang holding her hand, He Guilan mustered up the courage to look up at Huang Sheng, only to see that this Nanguo Duke, who was already a very popular minister, was still wearing a cloth robe, and he was looking at him with a pleasant face.

Huang Sheng saw that the once proud young lady now had a little vicissitudes on his face, and he was not only a little pityful.

Said softly: "Miss He Guilan, the Huang family can develop so rapidly, it is really inseparable from those gifts of your family, drinking water is the source, I think that the Huang family really needed money and food for development back then, and those money can be described as charcoal in the snow." ”

Listening to the soft voice of her quasi-ex-husband, who was already a supreme minister, He Guilan suddenly lost control of her emotions, knelt down and crawled to Huang Sheng's feet, hugged Huang Sheng's thighs and cried bitterly, crying and crying earth-shattering, which scared Huang Sheng.

Mei Xiang saw that Miss was unorthodox and wanted to pull her, but was stopped by Huang Sheng and said, "Let her cry, cry happily, and feel comfortable venting." ”

Huang Sheng waved his hand, and the soldiers and maids who were waiting for them all withdrew from the official hall, only Mei Xiang accompanied him.

Huang Sheng later listened to He Guilan say many, many ......, he has been patiently listening to He Guilan's confiding, and has been smiling and listening to .......

He Guilan, who appeared in front of everyone again, looked like a strong woman again, but a little more firm and calm. She put down her mental baggage and prepared to do a good job of logistics for the Nanguo Gong's army to defeat Jiannu.

Because Huang Sheng gave her a very important task, Yongping Mansion not only had to do a good job of supplying 100,000 soldiers and civilians with a year's worth of food, but also purchased a number of poultry eggs and meat to supply the army.

He Guilan has been running Yongping Mansion for three years, and now she is confident, she promises to complete the task, and asks her grandfather to kill as many Jiannu as possible with peace of mind.

Zhao Shimin came to Funing Wharf, and he took the sail battleship "Duke of Huaxia," the flagship of the navy, which had just been launched and completed sea trials; due to the increasing maturity of technology, this battleship ranked first among the Huangjia ships in terms of displacement, reaching 2,400 tons.

Due to the optimized design, the sail battleship "Huaxia Duke" with increased displacement did not increase the height and width compared with the "Huaxia Marquis", but increased its length, reaching a total length of 77 meters.

This design is no longer a short and fat universal boat, the lines of the whole ship are much smoother, increasing stability and sinking resistance, and also increasing the effective sail area.

The gun deck of the "Duke of Huaxia" was equipped with 28 32-pound all-steel guns, including six rifled guns. The middle gun deck was armed with twenty-two twenty-two guns, and the upper gun deck was equipped with twenty-four twelve-pounder guns.

There are two twelve-pounder guns, four thirty-two-pounder rifled guns on the first deck, and ten twelve-pounder rifled guns on the aft deck.

Such a battleship should be a lonely existence in today's world regardless of firepower and speed, not counting the crew, it is completely the flagship with a fixed number of 770 soldiers.

The captain of the ship is, of course, Liu Liangcai, and the "Marquis of Huaxia" that he used to manage has been handed over to Wang Lianfa to take the pipe belt.

Zhao Shimin has already learned that he is the master of Zhengwupin Mansion, he knows that this official position is given by his teacher, and has nothing to do with the imperial court, he entrusts most of the affairs of "Huaxia Island" to his sister to take care of, and he still focuses on scientific research to promote production.

Smart he didn't come in an official uniform at all, and when he saw the head of the family, Zhao Shimin, who was happy, said: "Teacher, the student is already working on the construction of the 'Huaxia Junwang' battleship, and it is estimated that the launch of the battleship may not be able to catch up with the time when the master will get the king!" ”

Zhao Shimin has grown up, has already become a family, already has a son and two daughters, and has also learned to be a sycophant.

Huang Sheng said with a smile: "Shi Min, don't learn what people say is good, pragmatism is the most important, especially you, you must not just listen to good words and lose your judgment." ”

"Yes, teacher, the student understands. The people and things that the teacher needs are all on the ship, when are you going to use them? ”

"I wonder how safe it is? These students are all elites of the Huang family, and they can't be sloppy at all, and if there is a problem with safety, it doesn't hurt if they don't participate in the action this time. ”

"Rest assured, the teacher is only thirty miles, safety is guaranteed, they have been lifted into the air many times, and the flight distance record is sixty miles."

Huang Sheng planned to send people to take a hot air balloon into the air and fly into Jinzhou City with the wind to get in touch with the Ming army's He Kegang Department to confirm how long Jinzhou could hold out, because to reverse the disadvantage of the Ming army, time must be exchanged for space.

The plan to rescue Jinzhou must be based on the fact that Jinzhou City can still hold on, otherwise it will have to suffer huge casualties and fight Jiannu in the middle of winter.

Zhao Shimin brought a hot air balloon that had been tested for more than a year, and the flying enthusiasts in the scientific research class knew that the family mainly used hot air balloons to participate in the war, and everyone rushed to sign up.

In the end, Zhao Shimin selected six experienced pilots to bring three hot air balloons with their team to participate in the mission.

The hot air balloons produced by the Huang family are still relatively primitive, the material is oiled canvas, and it is impossible for the burner to use liquefied gas, and it is impossible to spray a high flame.

The Huang family's so-called burner is nothing more than a huge copper fuel lamp base fueled by fierce fire oil, and the size of the flame can be adjusted by shaking a knob.

The firepower is also limited, and the air in the hot air balloon needs to be heated externally when it is lifted off, and the maximum fire power provided by the burner during liftoff can only make the hot air in the hot air balloon not cool down quickly.

The method of how to lift off is also more earthy and troublesome, burning a raging fire on the ground to heat the air and make the hot air balloon completely inflate and lift off.

Then the burner and hanging basket under the hot air balloon will be hung, and the weight of the entire suspension will be about 600 pounds even for the pilot.

When heating the hot air balloon, the hot air balloon is fixed to the ground, and more than a dozen strong men pull the hot air balloon that wants to take off.
