"Military exploits?"

Zhao Guangyi's eyes widened.

You must know that it is enough for him to have the merit of Huainan water conservancy in Wenzhi, and the court and the central government understand that when the Huainan water conservancy is completed, it will be the day when he is officially crowned king.

It is precisely because of this Huainan Water Conservancy that he will choose to punish this Sun Chunming with a small punishment, and he is still willing to see him, otherwise he would have turned his face long ago if he was so ungrateful.

However, no matter how great the credit for repairing water conservancy is, it is still a civil service after all, and it still can't change the fact that he Zhao Guangyi has never fought and has no military merits.

It can be said that he wants to go crazy for military exploits!

"Military merit? It is impossible for my brother to agree to me to go to the battlefield, even if he fights the Northern Han, he will not be able to lead the troops in person, and with my current status, if I lead the troops, it is useless not to lead the commander of the road, where is the military merit for me? ”

Sun Chunming said confidently: "Who stipulates that if you don't go to the battlefield, you won't have military merits?" ”

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed, grabbed Sun Chunming's hand and said, "Is there really such a strategy?" Come on! ”

Sun Chunming said with a smile: "I originally remembered, but Xiaguan was hungry for a day, didn't eat anything, and his brain was a little empty, what did I want to say?" ”

Zhao Guangyi scolded with a smile: "What, you are still reasonable, right, still remember my grudge?" Then he commanded, "Madame, ma'am?" Go to the back kitchen, and then steam a few more crabs for Brother Chun to eat, and pick the mother's to cook. ”

After a while, Fu personally came out with a tray of crabs, and he didn't retreat, so he simply sat on the side.

This is naturally a joke made by Sun Chunming, and Zhao Guangyi did not let Fu retreat, although the rift between the two has been planted, and Sun Chunming also knows that Zhao Guangyi can no longer trust him as much as before, but the two of them tacitly chose to pretend as much as possible, and strive to pretend that everything is the same.

When Sun Chunming ate two and a half pounds of big crabs in one go, and drank half a bottle of rice wine with satisfaction, he finally ate beautifully, Zhao Guangyi smiled and said, "Full?" Remembered? ”

Sun Chunming said with a smile: "I was about to report to the second king, the lower official has an artillery factory in Langzhou, do the two kings know?" ”

"You know, what's wrong?"

"Xiaguan has made a lot of money over the years, but the second king also knows that most of this money has been spent on the improvement of gunpowder and the improvement of glass, and at present, the improvement of this glass has not seen a shadow, but the improvement of gunpowder has already had an eyebrow, and hundreds of people have been killed in Langzhou because of the study of this new gunpowder, but fortunately, this thing has been researched after all."

"Oh? Okay, you Sun Chunming, what other coincidence do you have, did your new gunpowder only be researched today? ”

Sun Chunming smiled bitterly: "The second king Mingjian, the new gunpowder is indeed not researched today, in fact, to be precise, it has not been studied until today, one is that the output can not keep up, and it will be more than a dozen catties at the end of the day, and the second is that the safety problem is still not solved, and people will be killed from time to time in the production process, although it is getting less and less, but it is still inevitable, alas, I will pay eighty percent for killing a worker, and I will lose tens of thousands of lives in the past few months, I was going to Wait until the technology is really mature. ”

"Oh? So what do you mean by taking it out now? And what does this have to do with what you said about military exploits? ”

"Second king, this new gunpowder of Xiaguan is not the same as the ordinary gunpowder before, in fact, there is no ordinary gunpowder on the battle array, and the current number is very small, it is impossible to equip the army, it will not be used for a while, it will be gone in a long time, if you want to apply it in the practical field, there is still a long way to go, at present, the main application direction of this thing is to open the mountain and build the road."

"Open mountains and build roads...... Cutting Shu? ”

"Yes, back to the second king, it is the Shu Dynasty, the Sword Pavilion is magnificent and Cui Wei, has never been broken from the front in history, no matter how to fight, the sword gate is a hurdle that our Song army can't cross, there is this danger, the Great Song Dynasty wants to enter Shu, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky, but in the same way, as long as the sword gate is broken, the fertile field of Sichuan Mansion is all in the bag, and this thing may help the army to break the sword gate!"

Zhao Guangyi was very interested when he heard this, even if he didn't understand military affairs, he knew that the difficulty of cutting down Shu was difficult to close the sword gate, and whoever could break the sword gate pass would be the first great achievement, and he said eagerly: "Tell me in detail." ”

"Please take a look at the second king with me, the power of the new gunpowder will be known at first sight."

"Where are you going?"

"Let's get out of the city, it's a little late today, why don't we do it tomorrow?"

"No, just today, now immediately, let's go, go and make arrangements."

Seeing that Zhao Guangyi was in such a hurry, Sun Chunming had no choice but to let him, and an hour later, Sun Chunming and Zhao Guangyi only appeared on a barren mountain more than ten miles outside Kaifeng City with only a small number of followers.

At night, although it was autumn, there were still many mosquitoes in the wilderness, and Zhao Guangyi also felt extremely unhappy about this, and said impatiently: "What do you want me to see?" ”

"It's okay, Second King, I'll introduce you."

Saying that, Sun Chunming introduced a middle-aged man who looked quite rustic: "Second king, this is a steward of my Langzhou factory, this new gunpowder is with him, let's retreat, it's dangerous." ”

Zhao Guangyi said disdainfully: "Didn't you let go of the cannon when I did?" How dangerous can it be? ”

Sun Chunming smiled bitterly: "Second king, it's really dangerous, let's retreat quickly, this new gunpowder technology is not mature, even he himself can't guarantee that he will survive after tonight, the reason why he let him try is because he signed a life and death contract with me, you better retreat, if you are injured, I can't afford it." ”

Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he saw Sun Chunming say so solemnly, and after thinking about it, he didn't want to be a hero, and followed Sun Chunming away from the craftsman.

But instead of taking out the new gunpowder, the craftsman took out a hammer and a chisel, which he chiseled up on the mountain.

"What is he doing here, didn't he say he was going to demonstrate the new gunpowder?"

"The second king will be in a moment."

After waiting for a while, I saw that the craftsman trembled, carefully took out a huge package from his body as if he were on a pilgrimage, and opened it with great care, and the inside was actually ...... Or a package.

When I opened it again, it was a package.

It was a quarter of an hour of fighting, fighting, and fighting, and finally a small box was pulled out of the large package that was more than half a person's size, and it was not much bigger than a human head.

"No, it's sick, right, it's packed with more than forty layers of packages and it's packed like this."

In this regard, Sun Chunming had no choice but to smile bitterly, no way, who made this technology immature.

When he opened the box, Zhao Guangyi found that it was only a metal pipe about two feet long, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.

If Sun Yue is here, when he sees this thing, he must turn around and run, how far can he run, then it is clearly a detonator!! It is still extremely unstable, because with the technology of Da Song, it is impossible to make nitroglycerin with sufficient purity.

In other words, it was a ticking time bomb that no one knew when.
