Chapter 298: The Earth Shakes the Mountains
When Zhu Hao spoke, his small eyes aimed at Tang Yin, and the meaning was obvious.
I will lead the topic and conclude with you, after all, you are the commander in the army, and only by speaking from your mouth can you establish your prestige among the generals of the Xingwang Mansion Honor and Guard Division.
Tang Yin really understood what Zhu Hao meant, and his face was gloomy: "These three bandits all have the background of Ning Wangfu, or they are simply the leaders of Ning Wangfu, from the pre-war layout, immediate command and aftermath matters, all of them are guided or operated by professionals. Tell me, are they officials or thieves? ”
Luo An asked in surprise, "Mr. Tang, did you ...... before?" Why didn't you tell King Xing in detail...... Oh, I see, you're afraid of causing unnecessary strife, aren't you? ”
Tang Yin here analyzed Zhu Hao's words, and someone on the other side immediately made up his brain.
Compared with Luo An's "hindsight", Lu Song is a person who understands, and he can see that the main reason why Tang Yin didn't say it earlier is probably that Zhu Hao didn't come, and no one was there to analyze it, Tang Yin didn't expect this.
But the shadow of Ning Wangfu behind the three gang of thieves doesn't seem to be a secret, right?
People are blatantly coming to Anlu Prefecture, aren't they just looking for trouble for you Tang Yin?
Lu Song said: "In this way, it should be handled more carefully...... Mr. Tang, do you want to see if it is necessary to report to King Xing and let King Xing have a copy of King Ning in the court? ”
Tang Yin shook his head: "The relationship between the thieves and King Ning's Mansion is not superficial, they are all secretly colluded, even if the Xingwang Mansion is impeached, there will be traitors in the court to exonerate King Ning, and besides, this is not the land of Jiangxi after all, there is no conclusive evidence, how can the court believe it?" ”
At present, it is possible to analyze the inside story of the thief army's coercion of An Lu, but it is difficult to come up with any evidence.
Xingwangfu is also afraid of being said to be too sharp, King Ning is good in Jiangxi, why are you attacking and saying that people are the backers of bandits?
Even if there is evidence, the traitors in the DPRK and China will not let the evidence be presented to the emperor, and there are ways to obstruct it, not to mention that it is all speculation now.
Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao with an expectant look on his face and asked, "What are your good suggestions for coming this time?" ”
Zhu Hao thought to himself, you Tang Yin finally remembered to ask me for advice, he replied with a smile: "The suggestion is yes, even if the three gangs of thieves are stationed outside the city, they look unstoppable, but the defenders in the city can't watch them make a mistake, they should always wait for the opportunity to attack, if there is a night attack, let the thieves suffer heavy losses......"
Luo An thought that Zhu Hao had some tricks, but after hearing this, he shook his head again and again, and retorted: "It's easy to say, the thieves outside the city will strengthen their guards at night, and this plan won't work." ”
Zhu Hao said: "If it is an ordinary night attack, it will naturally be difficult to work, and a large number of troops and horses will only startle the snake, and the sneak attack will become a head-on confrontation." The main purpose of the thieves camping outside the city was to monitor every move in the city...... But what if only a few people were sent to the city, it would cause them chaos and even a roar? ”
"You ......"
Tang Yin originally wanted to verify what kind of strategy it was.
But after listening to Zhu Hao's strategy, he also had the same doubts, and he wanted to say, do you kid have any misunderstanding about war? Do you really think this is a child playing at home, and sending a few people over can cause enemy riots?
Lu Song asked, "But you want to set it on fire?" ”
At this time, only Lu Song, who admired Zhu Hao very much, had seen Zhu Hao's ability to defy the sky before, so he would follow Zhu Hao's train of thought.
Tang Yin immediately shook his head: "Although the weather is dry right now, if it is going to cause a fire, the fire will spread rapidly. ”
Zhu Hao smiled: "Mr. Tang, do you have time?" I'll take you to see something later, and I mentioned to you before that it would be best if it could help, if not......"
Tang Yin couldn't find a way to break the enemy, his heart was restless, and when he heard Zhu Hao say this, his heart suddenly moved.
Lu Song agitated: "Since Young Master Zhu came to find Mr. Tang specially, let's go and take a look, Mr. Tang's departure for a short time should not have much impact on the city defense." ”
Tang Yin groaned slightly, Zhu Hao had already said twice that he wanted to take himself to see something, and it was clear that it was a certain weapon that could cause chaos in the enemy camp, and he wanted to know what it was.
"That being the case, anyway, I'll go back to the palace to report the war to King Xing later, and I'll go with you when it's over."
Tang Yin immediately made a decision.
……
……
Tang Yin rushed back to Xingwangfu, reported the new movements of the thieves to Zhu Youqi, Yuan Zonggao and others, discussed countermeasures, and went to the dormitory of the West Courtyard to call Zhu Hao after coming out.
Lu Song did not accompany him, and it was Luo An who followed Tang Yin, who now shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting Tang Yin, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy.
Out of the gate of the palace, Zhu Hao and Tang Yin rode in the same carriage.
Tang Yin roughly explained the situation when he invited King Xing: "...... Now that the government has the intention of making peace with the robbers, the sentry detectives in the city who have been arrested and brought back want to release them and bring out the conditions of the government, and the gentry have negotiated to come up with a sum of money and grain to let the thieves withdraw from Anlu Prefecture on their own. ”
Zhu Hao listened to it with sadness.
The thieves are looting outside the city, doing evil, and the government doesn't want to think about how to exterminate the robbers and return the people to peace, so they actually want to negotiate with the robbers? And took out money and food in exchange for the bandits to withdraw from the army?
Where can the thieves retreat? Isn't it just running around, creating chaos, and growing stronger and stronger like a snowball, so that in the end, Anlu Prefecture can really be saved?
Tang Yin sighed: "I know what you are thinking, this is also something that cannot be helped, it is now the spring ploughing season, some fields have been sown seedlings, and winter wheat is heading, if it is destroyed by thieves, it will seriously affect this year's harvest." It coincides with the imminent arrival of a new state in Anlu Prefecture, and if there is a deficit in the treasury that needs to be filled...... I'm afraid it will make matters worse. ”
Zhu Hao closed his eyes and rested.
Tang Yin sighed and said, "Actually, if you talk about peace, it is most unfavorable for me, the thief is likely to offer conditions to Xingwangfu to hand me over, and I don't know what will happen when the time comes...... You watch the road well, and point to the driver at any time, don't know where to go. ”
Then neither of them spoke.
When I arrived at the place, it was a vacant lot on the river beach at the end of the street where Zhu Hao's laboratory was located.
Zhu Hao took Tang Yin into the laboratory, and took out an iron box the size of two palms from it, which looked very light, but Zhu Hao was very careful, Tang Yin urged Zhu Hao to go faster several times, but Zhu Hao did not change the frequency under his feet.
Luo An saw Zhu Hao and Tang Yin walking over slowly, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
Zhu Hao said: "Let's go to the open space first, you'd better stay away, otherwise I'm afraid something will happen......"
"Haha."
Tang Yin rarely laughed, "Zhu Hao, is it gunpowder?" With such a little bit, I don't think anything will happen. ”
Several of the guards of the Royal Palace Honor Guard who followed Luo An were also laughing.
Gunpowder is not uncommon in this era, Taizu and Chengzu both rely on firearms to dominate the world, invincible, in the eyes of these guards, the amount of gunpowder that Zhu Hao took out and the sticker can hold is at most a large second kick, and the "boom" is over.
Zhu Hao didn't explain much, he directly put the iron box on a mound raised in the middle of the river beach clearing, looked around, and made sure that he was far enough away from everyone before taking out the lead.
Roll after roll of leads......
Zhu Hao tried to be careful, don't research out a thing, and put yourself in it when you do the experiment, it won't be fun.
A group of people hid behind a dirt slope, about a hundred meters from the point of the explosion.
Zhu Hao leaned over and lit the lead, and immediately ran to the back of the dirt slope, and then a group of people watched as the lead approached the iron box little by little.
Tang Yin frowned: "Zhu Hao, what are you doing?" You know that this bit of gunpowder can't do anything, you ......"
"Shh
Zhu Hao made a "silence" gesture, which means don't talk nonsense, look down first.
Zhu Hao detonated in front of him, is nitroglycerin he extracted with nitric acid and animal and vegetable oils, Zhu Hao has passed the test, completely refined concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid, he originally did not plan to research any "weapons of mass destruction", just to make a special drug for the treatment of heart disease for technical reserves.
But it just so happened that the thieves were attacking, so they could get some out of it...... It's still okay to do things.
……
……
A bunch of people were bored and waiting.
Someone wanted to stand up and walk to the mound to observe it closely, but was called back by Tang Yin.
Although Tang Yin didn't understand the power of this thing that Zhu Hao took out, but looking at Zhu Hao's cautious appearance, if it was just a handful of gunpowder inside, it would be meaningless, and there would be so many things to do with a big firecracker?
Little by little, the lead burns to the notch of the iron box.
Because of its instability, nitroglycerin can be detonated by violent impact and heating, Zhu Hao simplified the complexity, built three glass bottles filled with nitroglycerin, and filled with black powder around them to act as an initiating charge.
When everyone looked over with wide eyes, Zhu Hao shrank his head under the dirt slope.
"Boom ......"
A loud bang came, and the earth shook violently with this loud noise, even though Tang Yin and several guards were more than a hundred meters away from the tipping point, the huge shock still shook everyone to the ground.
Shocked!
When a few people looked over again, they found that the small bulging mound at the explosion site had disappeared, and instead a pit more than a foot wide and half a meter deep had appeared.
"This ...... What's going on? ”
Luo An's face was full of horror and looked at Zhu Hao with a confused gaze.
At this time, a group of people rushed in the distance, they heard a huge explosion, thought that the meteorite in the sky had fallen to the ground, and in a state of panic, they took kitchen knives, tongs, and flat poles and so on, and went straight to the river beach.
"Go away, the government is on business!"
One of the guards stepped forward to maintain order, but did not dare to approach the river beach for fear of an explosion to follow.
These people who heard the news were all living in the nearby courtyard, and they did not witness the explosion with their own eyes, so they were naturally fearless, and quickly broke through the guards' obstruction under the push, and rushed to the smoke of the pit to watch the excitement, they were also very strange, why was there such a big pit in this clearing?
Why is there smoke in it, but nothing like meteorite exists?
Zhu Hao walked out from behind the dirt slope, and Tang Yin and the others followed him to check the scene.
Seeing a large number of people wearing official uniforms appear, the crowd dispersed.
Tang Yin glanced at the pit and asked, "Zhu Hao, did you prepare gunpowder here in advance?" Or ......"
Zhu Hao said: "This is what I want to show my husband, because the power is too great, it is not easy to store after manufacturing, so it can only be used now, and I am just a small person in Shengdou, if there is no permission from the Xingwang Mansion, I dare not use such a murderous thing, so I asked Mr. to ask the Xingwang to see if this thing can be used to suppress bandits." ”
Luo An had a shocked look on his face: "How can it be so powerful?" ”
Zhu Hao smiled.
The equivalent of black powder is only 0.16, while nitroglycerin is 1.5, a difference of ten times, and because the detonation rate of nitroglycerin is higher, it does not mean that ten parts of black powder can be equivalent to one part nitroglycerin, which is a very powerful explosive...... If it is used for fixed-point blasting, it is enough to open the mountain and split the road.
Bombing his camp and causing riots and even camp roars is no problem.
