Chapter 0102: The First Emperor Named You an Official
"Hehehe...... Your Majesty, what you said is too buried in Weichen, Weichen just asked His Majesty to give Fang Bufang a formal official with a holy decree, so that he could happily do big things for Weichen. That's not, the official of Weichen is not so big, and it is not so formal in the eyes of some people, isn't it? I beg you, Your Majesty! As for the matter of a holy decree, he was named the 'Chief Manager of the Spirit Canal Project and Tunshu'! Hehehe......"
"Hahaha...... How big is such a long official title? ”
"It's equivalent to a local civil official and a military officer in the army!"
"Nope! Must be a vice! ”
"Good! Vice! Wei Chen told Fang Bu Fang according to His Majesty's instructions! ”
Back at the National Teacher's Mansion, Yun Xiaoshui immediately issued a few orders, and sent someone to inform Fang Bufang to hurry to the capital, recommended by the National Teacher, and the First Emperor issued an order to add him to the rank of knight. Send someone to inform the general Meng Yi that 50,000 elite soldiers will be sent to the junior general Meng Zheng in batches in the name of exchange and study. Then send someone to inform Chasing Feng, Gu Lei and others to select a few reliable "dead soldier" officers to learn blasting techniques.
In the dense forest of the valley, Yun Xiaoshui personally taught Chaifeng, Gu Yang, Gu Lei and other ten people how to choose a site, how to place it, how to detonate it, how to build a bunker for themselves most effectively, so as to minimize or eliminate casualties, and when to detonate it with gunpowder, and under what circumstances it is necessary to use an appropriate amount of liquid explosives.
Focus on the details of the use of liquid explosives, and two experiments were carried out on the spot. Yun Xiaoshui detonated it by shooting round-headed arrows with a strong bow to hit the clay pot containing liquid explosives.
Yun Xiaoshui led ten people into a small valley deep in the dense forest, first found a good place to place the explosives, put nitric acid and glycerin into a clay pot, stirred it gently, and put the lid on it. Then find your own cover, be at a distance of equal distance, be able to see the explosive canister, and in the middle of it must be conducive to the straight flight of the arrows. The bunker must also be able to cover one's body in all directions, and it must also prevent the blow-up stones or knocked down trees from hitting oneself, so that the secondary damage caused is also fatal.
Yun Xiaoshui placed a nitroglycerin containing about a pound of nitroglycerin at the mouth of a cave under a low cliff wall, and then led people to hide in a giant tree hole about 100 meters away, and asked a soldier to shoot special arrows at the clay pot. As soon as the arrow left the string, the soldier hid in the hollow of the tree.
I heard a loud "boom" sound, the mountain collapsed and the ground cracked, the trees regardless of size, one side fell a large piece, and when everything returned to calm, Yun Xiaoshui took people out of the tree hole, and saw that the giant tree they were in was unharmed, but there was a big tree near it, and then went to the explosion point, the trees fell even more, and when they looked closely, they were all destroyed by the blasted stones.
Looking at the fallen trees, all of them fell in the direction of the peripheral radioactivity of the explosion site, and all the branches were broken, and the affected side of the tree was smashed and peeled to pieces. The small cliff is gone, and the cave where the explosives can was placed is gone, and the original cliff has now become a stone pit with a "boom".
Gu Lei, Chasing Feng and other ten people were dumbfounded, no one said a word for a long time, as if they didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere. It's still chasing the wind first, and he's still a little stammering, he has never stammered before.
"En, En, En, Gong! This is not the black gunpowder! The subordinates also smell of saltpeter, how can it be several times more powerful than gunpowder? ”
Yun Xiaoshui didn't tell him in detail, only told him, and also told the others: "This is the real explosive, the black gunpowder can be used as an ordinary small-scale explosion, this can be used to open the mountain." Be careful! Absolutely follow the steps and methods I have taught you, and you will not be able to make any mistakes! There is no fluke, once you make a mistake, you will definitely die! ”
All ten of them nodded blankly and solemnly in agreement. Yun Xiaoshui pulled out another arrow, which he specially made for detonating explosives. The shaft of the arrow is the same, except that the arrow is not pointy but a small round metal ball. In this way, with the power of the arrow flying off the string, the explosives in the tank can be detonated immediately, and even the wall of the clay pot can be shattered, and the nitroglycerin inside is detonated at the moment when the round arrow collides with the outer wall of the jar.
This time, Yun Xiaoshui only watched, and asked them to choose a site, measure the distance, find cover, and then, chase the second arrow shot by the wind himself.
After the experiment of gunpowder and explosives, Yun Xiaoshui gave these ten people a special political and ideological education, that is, to explain the interests and disadvantages, and emphasize the issues of safety and confidentiality.
"No matter how much civilian Fang Bu Fang is sent, as well as his countrymen, the slightest bit of information about gunpowder and explosives cannot be leaked to them! Remember? "Remember, sir! There are also civil officials in office, how big an official? ”
"I can't control you no matter how old you are! At best, it's just a level of assistance on your side! You do your thing, he just handles life, stability and other affairs in the honor of the imperial court, and does not interfere with your great task of opening canals! ”
In the National Teacher's Mansion, Chasing Feng and Gu Yang deliberately found Yun Xiaoshui the day before they went with Gu Leinan, and told Yun Xiaoshui their worries and doubts.
"Eun Gong! Fang Bu Fang has already moved, he must have two thoughts, why do you still recommend him to the First Emperor for promotion? The greater his office, the more harmful it will be to you if he is ungrateful in the future? ”
"Generally speaking, yes, but we can also think about it from another angle. If he's really a bad guy, wouldn't it be more dangerous to keep him around? If he was really an ambitious and ungrateful man, wouldn't it be better if he could show his true colors as soon as possible? In view of these two points, I strongly recommended to the First Emperor that Fang Bufang leave my fiefdom and become a great official. ”
"Oh - subordinates get it! It will be well disguised under the subordinates of Nanjun, and it will not startle the snake! ”
After listening to the words of chasing the wind, Yun Xiaoshui was relieved.
"Eun Gong! Or let Gu Yang stay by your side, right? ”
"No, you don't! I'll turn the flash back, my third lady is also an expert in this aspect, and I will slowly cultivate her and the black and white peony! Go and do great things for me! The two of you together can also make the deployment and action of the mission more seamless! Don't worry about me, just let it go and get to work! ”
"Subordinates obey!"
Not long after chasing the wind, Ding Mingzhu, Leng Yue, and Narcissus also knew that Yun Xiaoshui transferred Fang Bu Fang to Nanjun to be a big official and in charge of Tunshu, so they all came to question Yun Xiaoshui!
"Can't you all figure it out? Isn't there anyone who can read my mind? Yun Xiaoshui pretended to be surprised and asked them.
Yun Xiaoshui looked at them in front of him, it was no longer a small group, three wives and fifteen concubines, a total of eighteen wives. There are literate, martial, and all-rounders! Narcissus and Yu Mingzhu are all-rounders of civil and military affairs, Leng Yue, Bingshuang, etc. are martial arts, and Xiangzhi and Lan Xue are literary.
After Yun Xiaoshui's explanation, the ladies also understood. It was the first time that Narcissus had heard about Fang Bu Fang and some things in Yun Xiaoshui's fiefdom, so he frowned and said, "Husband! It's not the best way to do it! ”
"Oh? Do you have a better way? Let's talk about it! ”
