Chapter 11 The Addition of Gunpowder

In this way, the eldest grandson was once again put on the carriage to the west by Duan Zhan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, Duan Zan was really messed up, his father was struggling to support him in the front, and the letters asking for help were written to the back one by one, and those generals in the army had no better way.

The biggest difficulty in this expedition to Tuyuhun lies in the terrain and miasma, that is, no matter how many reinforcements are sent, they cannot solve this problem fundamentally, and the best way is to solve it from the weaponry, and the current ordnance system cannot be further improved.

So finding the eldest grandson was considered to be in a hurry to go to the doctor.

Jiucheng Palace is located in the west of Chang'an City, and not far west is the edge of the Guanzhong Plain.

The Wei River cuts off Liupan Mountain, and since ancient times, the road to the Western Regions has been along the Wei River.

didn't care about watching the scenery along the way, the eldest grandson was thinking about it all the way.

"I said Lao Duan, you're not kind." The eldest grandson said.

Duan Zhan turned a deaf ear. There's no way to smell this, Changsun Tang's mouth is too broken.

"I said Lao Duan, you're not kind." This is the first time that Changsun Tang said to Duan Zhan, and this was said when he was not far from Jiucheng Palace.

"The eldest grandson, I'm really sorry, my father is deep in the front line, and he can't advance or retreat. This time, my Duan family owes you a favor, and as long as it is not a rebellion in the future, my Duan family will help you. Duan Zan accompanied him carefully, this person is here, but if he doesn't work hard, he can't do anything.

"I said Lao Duan, you're not kind." This is the second time it has been said.

"This is mine, isn't it, when the war is over, I will let you slaughter more than 100 catties." This section of Chan also played a scoundrel.

I don't know how many times it was just now, Duan Zhan's ears were calloused, and he stopped responding when Eldest Sun Tang said this.

"I said Lao Duan, you're not kind." This is the n+1st time, and Duan Zan still doesn't speak.

"I said Lao Duan, you're not kind." This is the n+2nd time.

"I said that you are not finished, you have said this eight hundred times, even if you go back to Chang'an, you can bulldoze my Duan family." Although Duan Zan has a request for the eldest grandson, he can also be forced to be anxious.

"I'm just saying that your food in the past few days is too simple, and I'm about to vomit when I eat dry food." The eldest grandson said weakly.

"That's what you're talking about." Duan Zan was a little speechless.

"What do you think?" The eldest grandson is gone, you should do your work, and you still have no reason to not even eat a full meal.

"That's easy to do." Duan Zan got out of the carriage. Came back in a short time.

At dinner, the eldest grandson ate beef. This made the eldest grandson very satisfied.

Out of Liupan Mountain, along the Weishui Valley westward, it took a short time to enter Qinzhou.

This Qinzhou is the Tianshui of later generations, and it is also a city with a historical and strategic position.

In Qinzhou, Changsun Tang met Changsun Xu.

I haven't seen it for a few years, and Changsun Xu's complexion has turned pale, which is a somewhat abnormal white.

"I've seen the sixth son." The eldest grandson Xu saluted first.

"When did Brother Xu arrive?" The eldest grandson was a little surprised.

"It arrived yesterday, and there are still 800 catties of goods, which His Majesty personally ordered to be sent to the sixth prince." The eldest grandson Xu lost his long-sleeved dancing and high spirits.

"What cargo?" The eldest grandson was a little baffled.

"In the Qinling Mountains, do you still remember the sixth son?" Changsun Xu did not say it explicitly.

But Changsun Tang recalled that this shipment should be gunpowder.

"Didn't you ask Brother Xu to confess this matter at the beginning? How? The eldest grandson asked with some hesitation.

"It's all because of the desire for profit at the beginning, and after I told my father what the sixth son ordered, I felt that it was an opportunity, so I didn't explain it, so it's impossible to hand it over now." Changsun Yu didn't ask deeply, and Changsun Xu didn't say in detail, it's better to understand less about this matter.

"And you're here to bring me this thing?"

"Not exactly. Your Majesty means that we have basically mastered the power and process of this thing, and even started to manufacture it on a large scale, and now if we make it with all our might, we can produce thousands of catties in a month. Changsun Xu stopped.

"Then you're here to use this thing on the Tuyuhun people?" The eldest grandson understood.

"Yes, this is specially explained by His Majesty." Changsun Xu said.

"Aren't you afraid of leaks?"

"Sooner or later, and since you invented this thing, you should know more about its application, and improve it." Changsun Xu didn't say anything about this, but only His Majesty Li Er could mobilize this thing, maybe Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others knew about the existence of gunpowder, but what it was and what its role was estimated would not be too clear.

"Keep these things safe, and if it's not right, the basket will be big." The eldest grandson could only say so.

"We know this, and it hasn't been in vain in the past few years." The eldest grandson Xu is quite confident.

"I don't know who this is?" While the two were talking, this chan returned. The most important thing to raise grain, grass and ordnance along the way is Qinzhou and Lanzhou, and Duan Zan naturally went out to urge these materials.

"Let me introduce you, this eldest grandson Xu is my cousin, and this time he brought some very important materials to assist Grandpa Duan, and the power is not small. This is ......," said the eldest grandson.

"I know, General Duan's eldest son." Changsun Xu said lightly.

"Thank you brother Tai for traveling thousands of miles to help this time, Duan Zan thanked me first, and the Duan family of the eldest grandson's kindness this time has been recorded." Now it is clear to Chang'an City that although the eldest grandson is the son of the eldest grandson Wuji, it is basically a split family, although the eldest grandson and the eldest grandson Wuji are father and son, but they are not all the way.

And this time it was a mistake, but it made Duan Zan misunderstand that it was from the instructions of the eldest grandson Wuji.

But this is not bad news, whether it is for the eldest grandson or the eldest grandson Wuji. After all, the three clans of Yi Changsun Tang, the eldest grandson Wuji can't run, and the three clans of Yi Changsun Wuji can't run away.

"You're welcome, little grandfather." Changsun Xu's words were obviously much less.

"Such a great favor can only be said when the war is over, and now I can only work hard for the two of you." Duan Zan knew that no matter what he said at this time, the two of them would not be convinced, so it was better not to say it, but this time the Duan family owed the eldest grandson family a great favor.

In the past, the two families basically didn't communicate much, but now at this critical moment, those generals who wanted to get along with the Duan family in the past were either weak or perfunctory, which made Duan Zhan, who had been smooth sailing before, more or less know the warmth and coldness of people, and the eldest grandson's family can be said to be a charcoal in the snow.

Who knows, all this will be wrong.

Life is always full of misunderstandings and surprises. (To be continued.) )
