Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1403 Don’t dare or forget, the heroic spirit will always be there!

The great powers fought against each other several times, but they could not break the backbone of the Chinese people.

In December of that year, the American Institute of International Aeronautics had to come forward and issue Feng Rujia a first-class pilot certificate.

In January 1911, Feng Ru once again developed the biplane "Feng Ru No. 1".

This was the most advanced aircraft in the world at that time.

On January 1, Feng Ru conducted a public test flight at Aylawhurst Plaza in the bay of Jinshan City.

The plane taxied on the ground for about 30.5 meters, then soared into the air, rose to a height of about 12 meters, flew around the square for about 1600 meters, flew towards the San Francisco Bay, then returned, and slowly landed on the square where it took off.

The flight lasted 4 minutes.

It was a completely successful flight.

The San Francisco Sunday Call in the United States published a full-page banner headline: "He gave wings to the Chinese dragon."

And using the giant dragon, Feng Ru's plane and Feng Ru's image as a set of pictures, Feng Ru's life and events are introduced in detail.

From January to February of that year, Feng Ru flew the aircraft around the bay many times, with a maximum speed of 1 kilometers per hour and a flying altitude of more than 2 meters. Its performance reached the world's advanced level at that time.

Countless people from China and the West came to watch the flight.

European and American newspapers continued to report on it.

Chinese people living in the United States even praised: "Your reputation has soared throughout the world."

When Mr. Sun Yat-sen saw Feng Ru's successful performance, he couldn't help but sigh: "China has a lot of talents.

On February 1911, 2, Feng Ru took his two planes and returned to China at the invitation of the Qing government.

However, who are the Tartars?

Even mines can be banned, let alone more advanced aircraft!

After Feng Ru returned to China, the Qing government promised him a flight experiment, but it was canceled and people were sent to monitor Feng Ru.

Even though Zhang Mingqi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, sent a warship to welcome Feng Ru back, and designated an aircraft manufacturing factory site and airport for Feng Ru.

However, under the high pressure of the Qing government, Feng Ru did not hold any official position, and Feng Ru was strictly prohibited from gathering in public to perform.

On October 1911, 10, the Wuchang Uprising broke out and the Xinghai Revolution began.

On November 11, the Guangdong National Revolutionary Government was established.

Feng Ru was appointed as the aircraft commander of the Guangdong Revolutionary Government and became the first aircraft commander in China.

He immediately established the Guangdong Aircraft Company in Yantang, Guangzhou, which was China's first domestic aircraft manufacturing company.

In March 1912, after three months of hard work, Feng Ru made an aircraft somewhat similar to the "Feng Ru No. 3" based on the "Feng Ru No. 3". The design was optimized again. .

The first page of the history of China's aviation industry was unveiled.

In April, Feng Ru performed a flying performance at Nanmen Bridge in Taishan County. More than 4 people came to watch the performance.

This was the first time that a Chinese piloted a self-made aircraft in a public flight display in the airspace of the motherland.

On August 1912, 8, with the approval of the Provisional Government of the Republic of China, Feng Ru conducted his second flight demonstration in the suburbs of Guangzhou.

That day, the weather outside Guangzhou was exceptionally sunny, and the area around the airport was filled with people who came to watch the performance.

In the crowd, some were holding flowers and some were holding national flags, all eagerly looking forward to that moment.

At around 11 noon, Feng Rujianbu appeared in front of the audience.

Wearing a flying hat and flying suit, he looked particularly energetic.

Amid cheers, he briefly introduced the capabilities of the aircraft, then boarded the aircraft to perform a flight demonstration for the audience.

With the roar of the motor, the plane rose into the sky.

Feng Ru drove the eagle he made and flew leisurely in the blue sky.

The plane was like a vigorous silver swallow, rising and falling, left and right; the stands were filled with cheers and drums.

The sky and the earth are connected as one, cheering together for the great feat of the motherland's aviation industry.

After the plane's aerial stunts performance, Feng Ru prepared to land.

Disaster has happened!

Because there were so many onlookers, children ran around and played.

No one noticed that there were two young children on the runway!

Feng Ru has already begun to land...

The engine speed has dropped to the lowest level.

Feng Ru aimed at the runway and made final preparations for landing.

Suddenly, he saw two children playing on the runway in the distance...

If he continues to land, these two young children will be crushed!

At this critical moment, Feng Ru jerked the joystick and stepped on the accelerator, and the plane suddenly shot into the sky like a crazy eagle.

This kind of operation is very likely to cause an accident even for more advanced aircraft in later generations, let alone early aircraft!

A sudden disaster happened...

Because Feng Ru used too much force, the plane lost its balance. During the shaking, some parts were damaged. The plane suddenly fell at a high speed and hit the grass hard.

The surrounding audience surged towards Feng Ru like a tide.

When they rescued Feng Ru from the wreckage of the plane, Feng Ru suffered serious injuries to his head, chest, abdomen, etc.

With tears in their eyes, the audience sent Feng Ru to the hospital, where he died after rescue efforts failed.

This year, Feng Ru was only 29 years old.

On his deathbed, Feng Ru still cared about the aviation industry of his motherland.

He simply informed his assistants of the cause of the accident and encouraged them:

"Don't let my death stop him from making progress. You must know that this is a necessary stage."

On September 1912, 9, soldiers and civilians from all walks of life in Guangzhou held a memorial service at the place where Feng Ru's plane crashed.

On November 1912, 11, Yuan Shikai, the second interim president of the Republic of China, issued an order to praise Feng Ru for his contribution to the creation of Chinese aviation.

Feng Ru was posthumously awarded the rank of Army Major General!

His deeds were announced to the National History Museum and 1000 yuan was allocated to support his family.

Feng Ru's descendants and his assistants at the aircraft factory followed Feng Ru's will and buried Feng Ru's body in Huanghuagang.

Stay with the 72 martyrs and heroes!

Dr. Sun Yat-sen praised Feng Ru as "China's first flying master"!

In 2009, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of China's aviation and the th anniversary of the founding of the Air Force, the Chinese Air Force awarded Feng Ru the title of "Father of Chinese Aviation"!

Feng Rushi——

The first person in China’s aircraft manufacturing industry;

The first person to design aircraft in China;

The first person in China’s air show;

China’s first pilot in command;

The first person to propose the theory of "aviation to save the country" and put it into practice;

The first person in China’s aviation strategy theory!

……

Don’t dare or forget, the heroic spirit will always be there!

How could Zhu Youjian not admire such a person?

If it weren't for this era, no one would know about Feng Ru's deeds. Zhu Youjian even wanted to name the Aviation University after Feng Ru!

On the high platform, Zhu Youjian looked solemn, with tears in his eyes.

Look, look!

This is my Chinese plane!

Look, look!

As long as there is no such beastly group as the Manchu Qing Dynasty, China will be the eternal god!
