Facing Gongsun Sheng, who was full of joy to take over the gunpowder test project, Ximenqing scolded his mother in his heart.

Although the education of later generations is very beneficial to the expansion of students' knowledge, compared with the readers of this era, an ordinary high school student can be regarded as well-informed. But in terms of academic specialization, it is extremely coarse. It is no wonder that later generations have the title of "golden oil" for some college students, which is really rare in eighteen kinds of martial arts.

In terms of this ** alone, Ximenqing also knows that its ratio is extremely simple, but it is just a mixture of three raw materials. But what is the specific proportion, he only remembers the sentence in the anti-Japanese war film "Mine Warfare" in his previous life, and the rest, that is, a black eye, even if he may have studied chemistry in high school, he would have returned it to the original teacher a long time ago.

This basic ratio is all in the clouds, not to mention the more professional **granularity, to be able to know this, or completely thanks to a number of military novels on the Internet. It's just that for this so-called granularization, Ximen Qing only knows it but doesn't know why, and he can't say that Gongsun Sheng, a "professional", will be able to conduct the experiment.

For the application of gunpowder in the military, the Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly at the leading level at this time, and there are really many firearms of all kinds in the army. During the reign of Renzong of this dynasty, Zeng Gongliang and Ding Du presided over the revision of the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", which recorded the three proportions of gunpowder, but many useless substances were added to it, and the highest proportion of saltpeter was only fifty percent, far lower than the proportion of saltpeter in modern times, so its power was very different.

All in all, this era is only the embryonic period of thermal weapons, and it is not enough to rely on the power of gunpowder to change the rules and forms of the entire battlefield.

For the first test, Ximenqing really didn't dare to hold out too much hope, everything needs a gradual development process, although Ximenqing pointed out a correct direction of development, but how long it takes to reach the end of this road, I'm afraid no one can say.

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven.

10,000 yuan was allocated from the accounts of the logistics office, which was regarded as the budget of Gongsun Sheng's gunpowder superintendent, and as for the title, a dispatch of the director of the logistics office was arranged for the time being. In order to motivate Gongsun Sheng, Ximenqing promised that if he could make progress in gunpowder, he would be prosperous and wealthy in the future. In the end, he diligently instructed on safety matters, and the Gunpowder Supervision took safety as the first priority in everything, and should not act recklessly, so Gongsun Sheng responded one by one.

After that, Gongsun Sheng led four or five guards from the palace to the side of the Sailor Wharf to find a remote place as the future gunpowder superintendent. The matter of gunpowder is very important, and secrecy is the first priority, so in the end, a Jedi Valley was selected as a testing ground, and the young cavalry patrols were arranged around the valley to prevent idlers and others from entering it by mistake.

Gongsun Sheng's gunpowder supervisor, in addition to his main business, still needs some miscellaneous candidates, according to Ximenqing's arrangement, this cadre is selected from the original relatives of the Dengzhou Sailor, these people are not only connected with the sailor in the same place, but also saw Ximenqing's thunderous means at the dock a few days ago, but now they are very honest and dare not have other thoughts.

Moreover, if it weren't for Ximenqing's rearmament of the Navy Division with the financial resources of the Logistics Institute after taking office, where would these relatives of the former Navy Division have such a comfortable life now. There are many people who are very grateful to this deputy regimental practitioner, and many of them are willing to serve their lives.

Not to mention that after Gongsun Sheng got Ximenqing's promise, he threw himself on the gunpowder superintendent. Let's say that Yang Zhi, who came to Dengzhou City with him, stayed in this city for two or three days, and mixed well with Bian Xiang and Sun Xin, the leaders of the guards in Ximen Mansion. In the past few days, under the deliberate mention of Ximenqing, Sun Xin took Yang Zhi to the sailor wharf and the young cavalry camp, and saw the keel of the huge sea ship in the dock of the dock, as well as the training of the sailor soldiers.

Since Yang Zhi is honest, he has to do his best to run for his benefactor. I happened to learn that Lu Zhishen, my partner when he was in the second dragon mountain in the past, was captured by Song Jiang in Qingfeng Village, and was rescued all the way to Dengzhou, and is now being detained in the prison camp of the state capital. I heard that Ximen Qing took pity on his talent and intended to accept it, but Lu Zhishen did not enter the oil and salt, and he was in a dilemma.

The benefactor has difficulties, and as a subordinate, he needs to solve problems and solve doubts, so Yang Zhimao recommended himself to enter the prison camp to persuade Lu Zhishen, but he never thought that in the end, he was scolded by this "flower monk", and he was very embarrassed.

The so-called different ways do not conspire with each other, these two people have very different personalities, and their life pursuits are also completely different.

For such a result, Ximen Qing had already expected it, so he didn't care too much, but Yang Zhi, who consciously did not do well, was very ashamed, and immediately asked to return to Erlong Mountain and train a strong army as soon as possible to repay Ximen Qing's kindness.

On this day, Ximen Qing personally sent Yang Zhi to the official pavilion outside Dengzhou City, and when he parted, he was also earnestly entrusted, and he was very encouraged. After all, among his subordinates now, in terms of the ability to train soldiers, this "blue-faced beast" is the first to be recommended, and it is natural for Ximenqing to value it.

After drinking the send-off wine on the receiving official pavilion, Yang Zhi hugged his fists and said goodbye, led the three Zhu brothers to whip away, and disappeared into the distance after a while.

The three Zhu brothers have been with Ximenqing for some time, how can they be regarded as heart-to-heart people, this trip with Yang Zhi to return to Erlong Mountain, together with Cao Zheng, who is now in charge of Erlong Mountain, will be the backbone of this strong army under Yang Zhi in the future.

In fact, Ximen Qing did not have the idea of adding sand to this strong army in the future, but Yang Zhi took the initiative to ask these three brothers to help. Ximen Qing understood that this was Yang Zhi's self-efficacy, so he responded with the boat. However, in private, he told the three brothers of the Zhu family that everything in the army is headed by Yang Zhi, and they must not violate military discipline, and whether they can get ahead in the future depends on whether they can learn the true skills of training soldiers from Yang Zhi.

Sent Yang Zhi away, Ximen Qing was also stunned, there are still fewer generals who really know the soldiers, in terms of the ability to train soldiers, the "leopard head" on Liangshan is a very suitable candidate, but he accepted Zhang Zhenniang in Tokyo, if Lin Chong knows, it is a blessing not to become a grudge, and it is a dream to take it for his own use.

"Let's go back!"

Thinking of the entanglement of grievances, Ximenqing also had a headache, and finally waved his hand helplessly and prepared to return to the city.

"Look over there, my lord!"

Xie Zhen on the side pointed to the distance, and saw the dust on the official road, and in this scorching summer, he actually pulled out an earth dragon, surging forward, and the momentum was amazing.

Such a scene would require at least forty or fifty horsemen to gallop wildly, otherwise there would be no such momentum.
