Chapter 314: I Debate with Yang Ming

Wang Shouren was listening and noticed that something was wrong.

Whenever he was asked about the powerful gunpowder on the battlefield before, Tang Yin first replied that it was just ordinary gunpowder, and the amount was large, and he was hesitant after exposing it, and now that Zhu Hao is here, Tang Yin can actually pick up the conversation?

Hmph, want to perfunctory me in three or two sentences?

Is it that easy?

Wang Shouren continued to ask: "Then I don't know what the formula of this gunpowder is?" Since you are from the Xingwang Mansion, Brother Bohu, you also arranged the entire battle, so you won't be ignorant of this, right? ”

The question is very straightforward, and it belongs to the question of blood that will definitely be seen after a needle.

Both the palace and the state government praised the role played by you Tang Yin in this war, and said that the plan for attacking the camp was formulated by you personally, and it was obvious that the palace and the state government wanted to throw the pot on you.

"This ......"

Tang Yin didn't know how to answer, just like before, he wanted to be sloppy.

Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Tang, I heard that a lot of ingredients were used at that time?" For example, sulfur and charcoal are mixed together, and fire oil is added, and it is said that it is a kind of black oil that comes out of the ground, and it ignites when it sees fire, and it is extremely violent, and these things are very powerful together.

"I also heard that this batch of gunpowder was made by mistake, and I wanted to make a new batch afterwards, but every time something happened, a large number of craftsmen were damaged, and I didn't know how to start...... Is that so? ”

Tang Yin immediately knew how to answer, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, that's true, Bo'an, it's not that I have to cover it up, it's really that I didn't do it myself, but the craftsmen of the palace didn't do it myself, and it was difficult for them to make the next batch afterwards." ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yin's heart was relaxed.

Sure enough, it is useful to find this kid Zhu Hao, you see, as long as you find me a topic and give me a little guidance, I can crawl out of the pit in an instant.

Look at Wang Bo'an's eyes...... Hey, I obviously want to tell me that you crawled out of this pit and the next pit has been dug for you!?

Wang Shouren frowned slightly and looked Zhu Hao up and down.

However, he did not question the way the old and young men answered, but continued to ask: "Na Bohu, since this fierce powder is unintentionally formulated, there should always be a rough recipe...... Also, I wonder how many people the royal palace sent to attack the camp at that time? It seems that the amount of one person can cause great chaos? ”

"Ah...... It seems like...... Oops......"

Tang Yin was numb again.

What the hell is going on?

Let me tell you how much luck a person has, wouldn't it tell Wang Bo'an that this kind of fierce gunpowder is extremely powerful? His side-to-side questioning method is quite ruthless.

"Mr. Tang, although you and I didn't go out of the city to meet the battle at that time, I heard that there were quite a few people in charge of transporting gunpowder out of the city, at least more than thirty people, right? Luo Dianzhan and Lu Dianzhan each took a group of people and horses out, or transported them by carriage, it was too dark at that time, I didn't see it too clearly, I don't know if it's true? ”

Zhu Hao's words made Tang Yin's eyes light up.

Or you kid answers questions and knows how to "avoid the important and take it lightly".

The team of Xingwangfu out of the city to blast was not only a few guards who attacked the camp brought by Lu Song, but also the men and horses brought by Luo An to pretend to be a caravan, the number of those people was relatively large, as long as they deliberately did not mention the proportion of personnel on both sides, it was said that both groups of people went to attack the camp, and they used carriages to carry fierce gunpowder, which was enough to cover up the few questions raised by Wang Shouren.

Brilliant!

"That's true."

Tang Yin finally found the direction of the discussion and nodded, "At that time, Lu Song and Luo An, the guards of the Xingwang Mansion, took no less than thirty people out of the city to attack the camp, and they went in different directions, because the coffin filled with gunpowder was too large and had to be transported by carriage. Bo'an, there are some things that are difficult to answer because I am not a witness, and I apologize for any unclear things before. ”

After saying that, his whole body was comfortable, and Tang Yin almost had two drinks to celebrate.

If I had known, I wouldn't have shown up in the morning, and when Zhu Hao, the kid, came out of the examination room, and then went to see Wang Bo'an together, why would I suffer a morning sin?

It seems that my decision yesterday was very wise, I have to let Zhu Hao accompany me, won't it work wonders now? You said you, Wang Bo'an, why didn't you come a day earlier? If you came to Anlu yesterday, with this kid as a companion, I sent you away early in the morning, why was it difficult for you?

Wang Shouren frowned.

He could see that Tang Yin didn't know about the powerful gunpowder and the attack on the camp, but pretended to be confused, but he was just embarrassed and didn't want to lie to his old friend, so he lost his grounds, and didn't know how to answer.

And the kid in front of him looks young, but he is full of experience in dealing with the scene, and a little mention will make Tang Yin enlightened and find another way to answer his question.

What does this mean?

It shows that Xingwangfu didn't think to tell the formula of the new gunpowder at all, and it was in vain to ask.

Wang Shouren said: "Bohu, you and I have known each other for a long time, and I don't hide many things from you...... In fact, after reading the relevant war reports, I have been inquiring about the situation of this fierce gunpowder...... This thing is extremely powerful and easy to carry, and it is not comparable to ordinary gunpowder. Nowadays, Jiangxi is full of bandits, especially at the junction with Fujian and Guangzhou, and the bandits take advantage of the convenient terrain of Lingnan to skillfully maneuver with our officials and troops, and the officials and troops have repeatedly cleared and suppressed them.

However, the bandits' camps in the mountains were extremely strong, taking advantage of the terrain and condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the officers and men often suffered heavy casualties when attacking, and had to retreat in disgrace. With the help of such a sharp weapon, it may be possible to break it with one force.

"This is also to ensure the peace of the people, involving the national economy and people's livelihood, not for their own selfishness, I hope Bohu, you see that we have been friends for many years, and to avoid the misery of life, tell the truth! I will be grateful! ”

After speaking, Wang Shouren got up and respectfully saluted Tang Yin.

Tang Yin hurriedly got up and saluted back, looking terrified, not knowing how to deal with this old friend.

Zhu Hao saw that although Tang Yin was still perfunctory at the moment, he was obviously persuaded by Wang Shouren's righteous words, and the reason given by the people was very sufficient, saying that they wanted to use such sharp weapons to capture the thief Kou cottage, not to take the formula and seek personal gain.

Tang Yin, who is deeply influenced by Confucianism, will inevitably think, why can't you Zhu Hao borrow the recipe? Even if you say that this thing is too dangerous and easy to explode, but as long as you do a good job in the production, storage and transportation, it will not cause great harm to yourself, right?

Zhu Hao got up and said: "Wang Zhongcheng, forgive the students for being presumptuous, as the students know, the biggest root cause of the robbery in Jiangxi is not the stability of the thieves' cottages, but the collusion of officials and bandits, exchanging information, once the court has a plan to exterminate the bandits, it will leak the secret in advance, and the bandits will avoid the deep mountains and old forests in advance, and there is no trace...... So much so that it has been repeatedly cleaned up. ”

"Huh?"

Tang Yin didn't expect Zhu Hao to say such words at this time.

He hurriedly pulled Zhu Hao, blinked again and again, and signaled you not to talk nonsense.

It's okay for you kid to choke me usually, what's the relationship between the two of us? What kind of personality do I have, like you?

But now you are choking Wang Shouren with your words, but people are local officials with soldiers and horses, aren't you making trouble for yourself when you say this?

"Bo'an, Zhu Hao, this kid...... I can't speak, forgive me. ”

Tang Yin hurriedly helped Zhu Hao make peace.

Wang Shouren paid a little more attention, and looked at Zhu Hao with his eyes like torches: "Your name is Zhu Hao, and you are the child of Zhu Qianhu of Jinyiwei?" You...... Where do you know these things? ”

"Huh?" Tang Yin was stunned again.

What's the situation?

Wang Shouren is not angry with Zhu Hao, which is understandable, after all, it is not enough to be angry with a child with Wang Shouren's identity and status, but what does he mean by this?

Could it be that the local theft situation in Jiangxi was actually in Zhu Hao's language? Usually Zhu Hao has a lot of ghost ideas, but they are all based on the summary of known intelligence, as well as speculation about people's hearts, he has never been to southern Gannan, he has never suppressed bandits, how can he understand the thieves in southern Gannan?

Zhu Hao said: "The students did not know it from the side, but made the judgment based on the current situation, and the students knew that the biggest disaster in Jiangxi was not the theft, but the ......."

As he spoke, Zhu Hao glanced at Tang Yin meaningfully, as if to say that this biggest scourge was related to it.

Wang Shouren couldn't help but follow Zhu Hao's gaze to look at Tang Yin, and then understood what Zhu Hao was referring to, that is, Tang Yin painstakingly escaped from the Ning Wangfu under his control.

The pestle of King Ning's Mansion was there, like a giant tree, covering many ghosts and ghosts.

The help of the local robbers in Jiangxi, Kou Dening Wangfu, is equivalent to having a big backer, and the official government is full of traitors who secretly come with the bandits...... Fair and reasonable.

Zhu Hao said: "As for the matter of the fierce gunpowder, the student thinks about it, if Mr. Tang can tell the truth, he must have told it a long time ago, obviously there is a hidden secret...... Because the power of this thing is huge, and it is not easy to control, it will cause a large number of casualties to your own personnel, such a dangerous thing can only be used once when there is no other choice, if you do a long-term plan, it is better to take a more entrusted way.

The students believe that the way to eradicate the bandits in Jiangxi lies in making rational use of the spies of the bandits, playing counter-plots, and pretending to spread some rumors to make the robbers relax their vigilance and then exterminate them with a thunderous force. The student is dull, and his answers are shallow and omission, so I hope Wang Zhongcheng will not be surprised. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Hao bowed seriously and admitted his mistake.

He, a junior junior, directly refuted Wang Shouren's words, and offered advice in person, which was very inconsistent with the rules of officialdom.

But Zhu Hao knew that if Wang Shouren was really the kind of person who was calculating, he would not have achieved so much, nor would he be worthy of his admiration, let alone let Tang Yin get close.

In fact, Wang Shouren is indeed not the kind of pedantic and old-fashioned person, with his military, literary and philosophical attainments, he has long gone beyond the category of an ordinary man, and has the wisdom of people, and there is no one else in the world. When people hear what you say, they know that you have no malice, how can they be like you?

When Wang Shouren turned his gaze to Zhu Hao again, there was a little more softness and appreciation in his eyes, and it was obviously not as raw as when they first met.

Wang Shouren said: "Brother Bohu, Zhu Hao has extraordinary insight at a young age, no wonder you brought him to see me." ”
