091 The power of gunpowder

Ahu's words were replayed over and over again in her mind, and at the same time, Daddy's face and little cousin's face also inadvertently appeared in front of her.

Daddy and little cousin both have things to hide from her.

Daddy's abnormal behavior, unwilling to send troops to rescue her, is not allowed to intervene in this matter, and even changed her border defense layout, what is the reason for this?

The little cousin ran to the Chuxia military camp under the pretext of being seriously injured, and he was really just doing business?

She was inexplicably caught by Ye Chen to Linzhao, and Ye Chen said that she was entrusted to him by the Emperor of Chu Xia, which was an alliance between the two countries.

Hell, the emperor of Chu Xiaguo, she doesn't know him!

But she knew Lu Xiuhan

What's the connection?

An idea is coming to you, and the answer is close at hand.

Wakasa was so distressed that his mind was so clear that he couldn't sleep at all, so he simply put on his jacket and put it on his shoulder, and slowly walked to the window to blow the wind. The wind in Mobei was so cold that it could freeze people to death, and when he opened the window, he was startled, and hurriedly closed the window again.

I unexpectedly remembered what Fang Cai Fauber said: If it will be very troublesome no matter which way, it is better to choose one that is slightly more pleasant, at least after trying, you will not regret it.

Wakasa was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts turned, and suddenly he felt that his heart suddenly opened up.

Fauber is right, no matter what, at least give it a try, and you won't regret it in the future, and if you can't change it, you can only leave it to fate.

Wakasa said he would do it, lit the oil lamp, sat down in front of the desk, and began to write with a brush.

Little cousin wants to be emperor?

No problem, she thinks it's very good, the little cousin is indeed an emperor, and she has no doubt that the little cousin will be thousands of times better than the current emperor if he becomes the emperor. She is not one of those old-fashioned antiques, and she doesn't like to be bound by rules and regulations, she thinks, the emperor is not born, and what he does well is a good emperor.

It's just that the little cousin is going to do it? The first thing that can't be passed is the Mobei Army, followed by the southwest reinforcements, and the palace in Shangjing that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, even if he and Ye Chen's alliance is like a bamboo, defeating the Great Song Dynasty, the last question he needs to face is how to deal with the relationship with Linzhao? Do you really want to divide the Great Song into two?

Secondly, there are many problems, even though Chu Xia is not short of money, but the soldiers and horses have enough food? Lu Xiangye is dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty, I don't know what Lu Xiangye's attitude is towards this, has the little cousin ever passed Lu Xiangye's level? What will the people of the dawn of the world think about him, the emperor who ran out halfway, has he ever considered it?

There is also a problem, Fu Ruojian, what he hates the most in this life is the palace, even if he likes you, little cousin, it is impossible to wronged himself to enter the palace to accompany you.

No matter what, she will try her best to help him persuade Daddy, if Daddy is willing to help him become the emperor, he will get twice the result with half the effort, and in the future, when the dust settles, when he and Ye Chen compete for the world, Daddy will also help him.

She writes very fast, and her handwriting is very beautiful, and the two pages of letter paper are full of black pen and ink, and when she puts down the pen to see, the ink on the first line of words has not yet dried. He read it carefully by the candlelight, and then his expression changed slightly, and finally he picked up his pen and recopied the second page, removing the last sentence on the letterhead.

After the ink was dry, Wakasa put the letter in a letterhead, sealed it, and planned to find a way to deliver the letter to his little cousin.

Of course, the premise is that the little cousin really intends to be the emperor, otherwise it would be better to tear up the letter.

After making up his mind, Wakasa's heart finally felt a little relieved, and suddenly fatigue hit his head and he felt dizzy, and he was afraid that it would be dawn in another hour, so he simply lay down on the table and fell asleep.

What Wakasa didn't expect was that the next day, the butler hurriedly came to knock on her door, but said that the Linzhao soldiers raided overnight, and the five thousand cavalry attacked the third brigade with something that would explode and catch fire.

His heart sank, and without saying a word, he hurriedly took his moon slashing sword and was about to take the door, but he happened to bump into Tang Mu, who was hurrying here, and he looked panicked: "Wakasa, I heard them talk about last night, I probably know what that thing is, let's go to the barracks." ”

Wakasa nodded, and the two went to the backyard to lead the horses and rode straight to the barracks.

The commander of the third brigade was reporting the details of last night's battle, and said that the other side was very familiar with the terrain and border defense arrangements in this area, and five thousand horsemen suddenly attacked, and everyone had no time to meet the battle.

"But catapults? A boulder doused with oil? Ahu asked with a dark face and gritted teeth.

"No, no." The man said, as he asked the soldier beside him to hand him a long cylindrical object, as thick as a baby's arm, wrapped in a layer of hard pulp, with a rope exposed on the side. "Just this thing, this one was thrown over before it was ignited, and we kept it."

"Fireworks?" Ahu raised his eyebrows, put this thing under his nose and sniffed it, it turned out to be a thick smell of gunsmoke.

"It's like fireworks, but it's much more powerful than fireworks." The little commander recalled the events of last night, and he couldn't help but turn pale and look frightened: "As long as this thing ignites its back and quickly throws it into a crowded place, everything within a kilometer of distance around it can be blown to pieces, even people, in the blink of an eye, the flesh and blood are blurred, and the bones are gone."

He said, biting his lower lip, and his heart was desolate. Seeing his brother die in front of his eyes, how can he not hate?!

All around is a puddle of snow and mud that has been blown out by this thing, dirty and messy, and there is scarlet blood spilled on the ground, which is shocking.

This was the scene when Wakasa arrived in the barracks, and he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, his face condensed. Tang Mu behind her also jumped off the horse and looked left and right, all of them were corpses

"This is their weapon?" Wakasa said coldly, with hatred in his eyes.

The little commander nodded: "The general has gathered all the generals to discuss countermeasures, and plans to use catapults to deal with them." ”

"It's useless!" A panting voice came in, and everyone looked back, but saw Tang Mu bending over and panting while saying: "It's useless, not to mention that the catapult is bulky, and the hit rate is low, if it is to be used to attack the city, it will be fine, but it can't deal with this thing."

He paused, took the thing in Ahu's hand, and said: "This thing is called gunpowder, mainly made of saltpeter, sulfur, charcoal, etc., it is powerful and easy to carry. ”

The little commander nodded in surprise, pondered for a moment, and then took this thing to General Fu again.

Seeing that the man had run away, Ahu glanced at Tang Mu thoughtfully and asked, "You said you saw it in the Chu Xia ** camp?" But Lu Xiuhan showed it to you? ”

The hostility in these words was too obvious, Tang Mu glanced at him resistantly, and chose not to answer him. He is the prince after all, and he can't help it if he doesn't answer Ahu.

Tang Mu nervously pulled Wakasa aside and whispered in a low voice: "Wakasa, I'll tell you the truth, when I strayed into the Chuxia military camp, I accidentally broke into their powder magazine, and a whole warehouse inside stored this thing, I was stunned at the time, and I always wanted to talk to everyone, but I didn't expect this thing to be used today." ”

"You say the whole warehouse is this?" Wakasa's face is stiff.

"Yes, Brother Lu doesn't know where he got this thing, he said that he was making a deal with Chu Xiaguo, and this transaction has hurt his own people! It's really" Tang Mu complained, and he was a little angry, but he didn't notice that Wakasa's face turned pale when he heard this.

"Wakasa, I have an idea, let's find a way to contact Brother Lu and ask him to give us a recipe for this thing, and we will make it ourselves." After Tang Mu finished speaking, he looked at Wakasa's face, but saw that she looked dazed, so he gently pushed her: "Did Wakasa hear it, Brother Lu was placed under house arrest in the Chuxia military camp, and he was forced to be helpless, if we don't want to save him, or ask him for a formula for gunpowder." ”

Ruo narrowly looked at Tang Mu's face in a daze, and muttered to repeat his words: "Forced to be helpless, forced to be helpless? ”

"Yes, if Brother Lu wasn't forced to be helpless, how could he do such a thing." Tang Mu said as a matter of course.

Are you really forced to be helpless? Even Wakasa would not believe this.

The hand involuntarily stroked the dagger on her waist, and remembered the letterhead she was carrying in her pocket yesterday she swore to support him yesterday, and today her thoughts were completely shattered, she can not care, but what about the Mobei Army! The life and death of this army of 100,000 can't be decided by her!

"Wakasa, Wakasa?" Tang Mu waved his hand in front of her, but found that she didn't know where the fugue had gone, and he was immediately a little discouraged. Then I thought about it and was relieved, she has a deep relationship with the Mobei Army, and she will definitely be hit hard now, for the Mobei Army and the Great Song Dynasty, this gunpowder formula must be in hand!

Tang Mu secretly clenched his fists, blaming himself for not knowing a little about history back then, other travelers wore to ancient times, either they were proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs, or they knew astronomy and geography, and they did what they said with explosives, but he had been an idler prince for many years in ancient times, and he had not done anything well, which was really embarrassing.
