Chapter 307: How Does This Errand Make You? (3 more)
Niu Jinda didn't continue to ask what was going on with gunpowder, he didn't want to care, he didn't dare to care, or he didn't want to get involved in gunpowder at all. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, as he said to Zhang Yi before, gunpowder is a thing other than the Heavenly Family, as long as a person masters it, it can only be a dead word.
The old cow had a family and a mouth, and he couldn't afford it, and he didn't dare to bear it, so he even swallowed the gunpowder recipe into his stomach.
Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, he also thought about the origin of gunpowder for a long time, although gunpowder is indeed the product of Taoist alchemy, but in fact there is no classic record.
Or rather, this thing has only been circulated in the Dao Gate, passed down as a secret.
However, even if it is a recipe that has been passed down in the same vein, compared to Zhang Yi's gunpowder, it is simply a world of difference, and I just hope that Li Er will not really doubt himself.
Otherwise, I want to explain it clearly.... That is a thousand difficulties, unless the real "Taiping Technique" reappears in the world!
When I returned to the camp, I was thinking about lying down for a while, thinking about how to organize the people to make gunpowder bullets.
Niu Jinda's order just now was very clear, he needed a large number of gunpowder bullets to defend the city, and Li Jing's side also needed it. And because of the current tense situation, he must rush to make gunpowder shells as soon as possible.
Zhang Yi is actually not worried about gunpowder bombs, after all, it is already a mature process, and he has always prepared saltpeter, charcoal, and even other materials, so it is not troublesome to make them.
If all went well, Zhang Yi would even need three days to produce a large batch of gunpowder to pop out.
It's just that the manpower of the rush will undoubtedly be able to make gunpowder bombs for the rest of his life.
Although Li Er is known as the first emperor of the ages, he is open-minded.... However, Zhang Yi did not believe that he would be open enough to allow the craftsmen who made gunpowder to act freely, so whether to use the people of Zhangjiazhuang or select some government soldiers undoubtedly made him very distressed.
After all, freedom is precious, for the sake of the so-called glory and wealth of his family, burying his lifelong youth and freedom, Zhang Yi feels a little lost.
I'm thinking about my origin, fart. Before he sat on the low couch, a flattering voice came from the side.
"Chestnut, can you give my brother one of your firecrackers?" Tang Peng smiled all over his face, holding a jar of grapes in his hand and said with a smile: "You also know that the military order of the chief manager has said that the Turkic army has been marching towards our Shuofang, and I estimate that we will be able to reach Shuofang soon.
So, my brother thinks it's not good to get something to defend yourself, such as your firecrackers, hehe! ”
"Well said!" Zhang Yi looked at Tang Peng, and immediately agreed and patted his chest. He said, "Isn't it just a few gunpowder bullets?" As long as my brother says the number, I will send it to you as soon as I make it. We are all nobles, so naturally we must be well-defended! ”
As he spoke, Zhang Yi's arm was on Tang Peng's neck, and he said with a smile: "But the number is not too much, you also know that although this kind of thing is very powerful, it is also very troublesome to build!" ”
When Tang Peng heard this, he also nodded.
He also now knew that the firecracker was actually called a gunpowder bomb, but it was quite popular to hear the name, of course, he also knew that the power of the gunpowder bullet was indeed not small, otherwise he would not have been able to go to Zhang Yi to ask for it, right?
"But .....," Zhang Yi continued, and then made a look of wanting to say something, and it was difficult to speak.
"But what?" Tang Peng immediately became unsettled, and asked, "Brother, is there still something unspeakable?" ”
"Hey!" Zhang Yi sighed, and said: "Just now, the general asked the younger brother to control this gunpowder bomb, and said that after returning to Beijing, His Majesty can be crowned an official and a knight, but you also know that the younger brother is a lazy person, and there is no one in the court, and now he is hated as an uncle, if His Majesty gives another marquis or something, then he will not be jealous to death?" ”
Suddenly, Tang Peng's eyes lit up!
He naturally knew Zhang Yi's lazy nature, of course, he also knew that Zhang Yi was talented, so he calculated Zhang Yi on this expedition and threw the errand directly on Zhang Yi's head, firstly, because his own ability was not enough, and secondly, it was also to not be so tired.
But although Zhang Yi is doing things, but in the process of the two of them going all the way, Tang Peng also has to admire Zhang Yi for being definitely lazier than himself, not only that, but even eating is very particular.
Such a person is naturally a light character, if Li Erfeng really asks him to take care of him and give him a knight or something, Zhang Yi is probably not uncommon.
It's just that Zhang Yi is not rare, but he Tang Peng is rare!
Originally, he was not qualified to inherit his father's title, and this expedition was also to gain a little military merit so that he could have a chance to be promoted in the future, but even so, even if his father ran around in the end, it was estimated that a viscount would be up to the sky.
As a gentleman, as a famous gentleman in Chang'an City, although he has a lot of friends, but there are also a lot of people who have offended, and after his father burps, his eldest brother obviously has no way to protect him, so his only way is to take advantage of Tang Jian's death to get more capital, and wait until the day when he has the ability to use it for self-preservation.
This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to let his family run thousands of miles back to Chang'an to find Tian Qi seeds, and then personally found those merchants in Shuofang to clean up the garbage in Shuofang City.
However, all the credit is not as good as a small powder bullet in Zhang Yi's hand.
Tang Peng knew very well that gunpowder bullets would surely become a sharp weapon on the battlefield. Unlike Niu Jinda, Niu Jinda only saw the purpose of defending the city, but he felt that it was more than that. Judging from the three-meter-square pit, the power of the explosion of the gunpowder bomb is comparable to that of thunder and lightning, and since such a power can be thrown, it must also be tied to the eight-bull crossbow for siege.
After all, the range of the Eight Bull Crossbow is there, as long as the two are combined, Tang Peng believes that even the city gate that is as strong as Chang'an will definitely be blasted open by the impact of this gunpowder explosion.
Therefore, when Zhang Yi just revealed that he didn't want to supervise the production of gunpowder, he had already moved his mind.
"Chestnut, you don't want to supervise the production of gunpowder?" Tang Peng hurriedly asked.
"Of course!" Zhang Yi laughed in his heart, but he made a depressed look on his face, and said: "You think it's fun to watch a group of people author the same thing all day long?" Don't talk about a marquis, even if I am named a king of Qin and a king of the county, I think it is better to eat a hot pot! If my brother likes it, how can I let you do this errand? ”
