Zhu Wei went to Ganxi Village to find Yu Ji and his party this time, which can be regarded as a full return. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhu Wei really didn't expect that although Yu Ji himself didn't know how to make gunpowder in alchemy, his disciple Xu Cheng actually knew how to make a fiery pill similar to gunpowder bullets.

Although judging from Xu Yuan's introduction, this kind of fiery pill can burst into a ball of flames, in fact, it does not have much damage power, and can only scare people unexpectedly, using the natural instinct of the beast to drive away the beast in the wild.

It is also in line with the folk flame juggling technique, if it is done well, it can also be pretended to be a thunderous method in the palm of the Daomen.

In fact, the use of gunpowder in China has a long history, but it is only because of the harmfulness of gunpowder and under the constraints of Confucian ideology that the official did not have the idea of developing gunpowder into a weapon.

It wasn't until the Song Dynasty that the Huaxia people had no choice but to face the cavalry and archery of foreign tribes, so they suddenly thought that they still had such a sharp weapon as gunpowder, so gunpowder began to be developed into a weapon in the Song Dynasty.

Especially in the Ming Dynasty, there was already a special Shenji battalion that used gunpowder weapons to fight against the cavalry of Yuanmeng.

Unfortunately, in the Qing Dynasty, in order to maintain the suppressiveness of the Manchu Eight Banners cavalry on the people of the Central Plains, the official deliberately stifled the development of firearms, and as a result, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, they could only use bows and arrows and broadswords to deal with the guns of foreigners.

This is also to explain why there was such a thing as a fiery pill in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, if you study the history of gunpowder, you can know.

Anyway, now Zhu Wei feels that Xu Fall has mastered the basis of using black powder as a bomb, as long as Xu Fall is brought back to his camp, he can naturally develop a black powder bomb.

Therefore, under Yu Ji's overture arrangement, Zhu Wei took Xu Cheng back to his military camp, and as for Yu Ji's future dispatch of people to help Xu Cheng preach in Yuzhang, it was naturally Zhu Wei's return to Yuzhang in the future.

In this way, Zhu Wei's training in Shanyin County to prepare for the attack on Zhu Zhi in Qiantang County became more and more intense.

In particular, the research and development of black powder was developed earlier than the one-month time limit expected by Zhu Wei, and Zhu Wei specially brought it to the mountains for testing, and the effect was still good.

With Zhu Wei's experience in later generations, black powder was screened into powder, large adhesive particles were removed, and then ground and pressed to dry, turning into a kind of block gunpowder, and the power was also improved a lot.

Then wrap them in cloth separately, and then press and then stuff the cloth-wrapped gunpowder into the hollow cylinder of the bamboo, which can be made into a relatively good power of explosive bamboo tube.

Zhu Wei took it and tried to blow up the rocks, which was enough to crack the rocks, so that let alone blast the gates of a city, even if it was to blow up the walls of some small counties, it would not be a problem.

With this big killing weapon, Zhu Wei's preparations to attack Qiantang County were completed.

Although Zhu Wei's movement of experimenting with gunpowder explosive cylinders had also been noticed by the people of Shanyin County, Zhu Wei only deduced that he had found a Taoist priest to learn palm thunder techniques, and now it has been effective, and all of this is a means of palm thunder.

As a result, in the rumors of the people of Shanyin, it became Zhu Wei to visit the immortals, learned Taoism at the old god of Jilao in Ganxi, and learned the palm thunder Dao method of suppressing evil and eliminating demons, and now he has become the protector of Taiping Dao or something.

This rumor, Zhu Wei felt that Yu Ji might have pushed a few hands in it, but Zhu Wei reluctantly accepted it, at least it was a little deceptive to the outside world, and it could maintain the mystery of gunpowder.

And Wang Lang heard that Zhu Wei was looking for a Taoist priest or something at the beginning, and heard this rumor again, and really thought that Zhu Wei wanted to find a Taoist practice and use Taoism to break through the water gate of Qiantang County.

Isn't this a military war?

But after Wang Lang came to the door, he learned that Zhu Wei had developed a blasting canister to open the water gate in Qiantang County, and after seeing the power with his own eyes, he felt a lot more relieved.

But he was afraid of this kind of black powder blaster, feeling that this kind of thing hurt the heavens and the peace, and really shouldn't appear in the world, so he persuaded Zhu Wei not to use it much, so as not to play with fire and burn himself.

Zhu Wei naturally agreed, but Wang Lang's statement of playing with fire and self-immolation is not entirely unreasonable, after all, this kind of black powder itself is indeed very dangerous, if it is detonated in Zhu Wei's army, it is really playing with fire and self-immolation.

In addition, now Zhu Wei can only develop the fixed-point blasting effect of this black powder blasting canister, and has not been able to develop a grenade-like means, mainly because the fuse cannot determine the time of ignition, and if it is not exploded in a confined space, the power is not strong enough, etc., so it cannot play more effects for the time being.

But no matter what, after the successful development of this black powder blasting canister, it was time for Zhu Wei to use troops in Qiantang County.

In fact, during the previous period, Zhu Wei also sent a lot of people to keep an eye on Zhu Zhi's actions in Qiantang County, and Zhu Zhi naturally sent a lot of people to Shanyin County to listen to the news.

Zhu Wei knew that Zhu Zhi seemed to be strengthening the walls and guards of Qiantang County, and Zhu Zhi also knew that Zhu Wei was training troops in Shanyin County, so he obviously had the idea of beating him.

But since Zhu Wei already has a black powder blaster in his hand, he naturally doesn't worry about what defense Zhu Zhi has added in Qiantang County, as long as Zhu Zhi can't run in Qiantang County, then he is not afraid of what kind of city he will turn Qiantang County into.

And Zhu Zhi heard that Zhu Wei was learning what Taiping Dao palm thunder or something, but he was a little scoffing, feeling that he was really a little too high Zhu Wei, it seems that this kid was lucky to win a few battles before, and he is still a cranky child.

So one morning in early November 195, Zhu Wei set off with troops outside Shanyin County.

This time, Zhu Wei was divided into two water and land divisions and dispatched to Qiantang County at the same time, and there was originally a river between Shanyin County and Qiantang County, which could directly reach the water gate of Qiantang County and the West Lake in the inner part of the county.

For this reason, Zhu Wei requisitioned twenty large and small ships from Shanyin County, and then called on six thousand soldiers and horses under Wang Lang to travel by boat.

On land, Zhu Wei's 3,000 Shanyue soldiers and 1,000 Wang Lang infantry, plus more than 1,000 infantry brought by Dong Xi, who had recently defected to Zhu Wei, and 3,000 people recruited from Shanyin County.

Although the soldiers brought by Dong Raid are very poorly trained and prepared, at least they are all sturdy men, and it is still okay for them to follow the trend and kill the enemy, not to mention that after this Dong Raid defected to Zhu Wei, Zhu Wei found that his loyalty reached 100, which shows that he is really a single-minded and loyal person.

Although Dong Xi's other abilities are average, Zhu Wei attaches more importance to him in terms of this loyalty.

In this way, Zhu Wei brought more than 11,000 soldiers and horses, plus 3,000 people, known as 50,000 troops, in the name of Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan to crusade against Zhu Zhi of Qiantang County, who was plotting rebellion.

From Shanyin County to Qiantang County, it took more than half a day to reach the ......
