Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

But before he could kneel down and salute Zhao Ji, he was stopped by Zhao Ji:

"Shen Aiqing, don't be too polite."

"I also know that you are busy with official duties, but at the moment, I am also encountering an extremely difficult matter. I have to ask you, the leader of the Ministry of Works, to make suggestions for me."

"If not, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish this matter."

"Shen Aiqing, please sit down aside. I have something to ask you."

Shen Kuo heard what Zhao Ji said, so he was no longer polite.

But as soon as he sat on the wooden chair next to the dragon case, Zhao Ji threw several questions to him:

"Shen Aiqing, do you still remember the balloons that can carry people when our army quelled the chaos in Beijing a long time ago?"

"And now, where are those balloons placed? Can they still be used?"

When Shen Kuo first heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

But not long after, a hint of surprise appeared:

"Those balloons, when I returned to the official house, I didn't know where to put them."

"After all, it's been almost a year since those things were first manufactured."

"Maybe it's been thrown away a long time ago."

"But I don't know what the officials are doing when they mention such things at this time?"

Zhao Ji sighed with a helpless expression:

"Of course I want to use the same old trick against the enemy."

"That thing will be lost, but that's what I expected."

"After all, our Song Dynasty already has that kind of steel chariot."

"It is no exaggeration to say that the power it exerts on the battlefield can destroy the world."

"In that case, what's the point of keeping those surprise attacks?"

"But the big problem facing us in the Song Dynasty is how to eliminate the thieves besieging Daming Mansion and Shouzhou City without anyone noticing."

"But those two groups of thieves, because they were prepared in advance, didn't give us a chance to fight head-on."

"That's why I came up with this method of surprise attack."

"Shen Aiqing, please go back and look for those balloons with your subordinates."

"Let's see how many more we can find."

"If the inventory is really low, then call all the officials from the Ministry of Industry under your command to make a hundred of them in a short period of time."

"And we have to ensure that each one can carry two to three people into the air."

"This matter now is extremely important to our Song Dynasty."

"Even if we put the production of trains, tanks, and other weapons on hold, we still have to do it."

Seeing what Zhao Ji said so categorically, Shen Kuo had a premonition of the importance of such a thing.

So at this time, I stopped talking to Zhao Ji.

After hastily receiving such an order, he strode away from here and headed towards the Ministry of Works.

Zhao Ji, on the other hand, looked at Shen Kuo's retreating figure and fell into deep contemplation.

After all, for the Song Dynasty Army and Horses, even if they build balloons that can carry people into the air, they still need to use a set of extremely sophisticated methods to achieve the effect of a surprise attack on the enemy.

And what kind of method is this, it still needs Zhao Ji, the person in charge, to think about it.

within the next ten days.

Not only Zhao Ji was anxious, but Yue Fei and Xin Qiji were also anxious.

Because for the two of them, no one here understands the terrible fighting situation on the front line better than them.

If they are here, they cannot think of a more effective solution in the capital.

Then it won't be long before Damingfu and Shouzhou will fall into despair due to insufficient food reserves in the city.

a few days later.

Zhao Ji, who was full of anxiety, finally received good news that belonged to him.

That is, after several days of rush manufacturing, the Ministry of Industry finally completed more than 80 balloons for Zhao Ji that can carry people into the air.

In addition to the remaining ten pieces, the total number has exceeded one hundred pieces.

When Zhao Ji saw that all the things he needed had been done, he immediately ordered more than 5,000 soldiers from the imperial guards and ordered them to dress up as ordinary people without hesitation.

And in the evening this evening, they will leave the city in batches.

The most important purpose of doing this is to hide one's own traces.

In case the spies from Jin Kingdom and Fang La's place heard the news that Zhao Ji was planning to launch a surprise attack on them.

Zhao Ji and his party waited in the dark night, and after running for dozens of miles, they finally settled in a village or town.

The dozens of generals who originally stayed in the capital did not agree with Zhao Ji's going.

After all, he is the leader of a country, if something unexpected happens on the way.

Then the entire Song Dynasty might be in chaos.

But Zhao Ji said here that he was probably the only person in the entire army who was familiar with the operation of balloon launches.

If he didn't go this time, I'm afraid this sneak attack plan would not be successful at all.

In the end, the civil and military officials could not persuade him for a long time, so they had no choice but to let Zhao Ji go.

But Zhao Ji is not stupid, and he also knows the danger of this mission.

So he also directly selected half of the generals responsible for staying in the capital to serve as his deputies.

At this moment, thousands of your troops led by Zhao Ji have arrived in a town.

It didn't take long for all the guest rooms in the town to be occupied.

At the moment, Zhao Ji himself was living alone in an upper room.

Seeing the night getting darker and darker, Zhao Ji planned to go to bed and fall asleep.

But just as I was lying on the bed, I suddenly felt a little hungry in my belly.

So he turned around and got out of bed, preparing to go out to find the waiter to prepare some food.

But just as he walked down the stairs, he saw a woman walking towards him.

But this person was wearing a light blue dress and had an extremely slender and graceful waist.

He held a sword in his hand, but his face was covered with a light pink gauze scarf.

Although he couldn't see the person's face clearly, Zhao Ji knew it by just smelling the orchid-musk-like body fragrance on him.

The other party must be a beautiful and lovely person.

Just as Zhao Ji was having wild thoughts in his mind, he couldn't help but pause in his steps.

But at this moment, the two of them happened to pass by each other.

Zhao Ji was really curious about the woman's appearance.

So he turned his head subconsciously, wanting to take another look at the woman's back.

However, when he turned his head, he discovered that the woman was also a few meters behind him, turning her head slightly to look at him.

When their eyes met like this, Zhao Ji was immediately embarrassed.

So he turned his head back in a hurry.

Just when Zhao Ji wanted to cover up by talking to the waiter, he glanced at the woman from the corner of his eye.

However, he discovered that the woman had quietly left that place at some point and was no longer seen.
