Chapter 215, Ma Jun
Liu Bei's words showed his absolute trust in Guo Jia, and he was not afraid that Guo Jia would harm him at all, although this possibility was very small.
Xun Yu was curious: "What is this gunpowder that can make Fengxiao so solemn?" ”
As the name suggests, he can only speculate that this thing has something to do with fire.
Seeing that Guo Jia was so solemn, Jia Xu also opened his eyes and listened carefully.
Zhang Fei couldn't wait, and hurriedly said: "The military advisor quickly take it out, I'm here to see what kind of artifact it is." ”
In fact, he had already begun to calculate in his heart that if he was really so powerful, he would definitely be in his pocket, just like the original Tiefutu.
An idea suddenly appeared in Zhao Yun's heart, and he vaguely remembered that Guo Jia had said that in future wars, cavalry would withdraw from the stage of history.
At the time, I thought it was just a joke, but now it seems that it may be true.
Facing everyone's expectant gaze, Guo Jia said slowly: "When the use of gunpowder reaches a certain point, the way of war will be reversed, and it will no longer be dominated by short-term handovers." ”
All:......
Can't you just take it out?
They didn't know what Guo Jia was thinking, and if he could, he would really want to drum up the hot weapon. Not to mention airplanes and tanks, it is enough to be able to make steam engines, flintlock pistols, and redcoat cannons.
As long as you can get these things, you will have the opportunity to truly realize the saying "everything that the sun and the moon shine on, and where the rivers go, it is all Han soil".
However, this idea failed before it could even begin, for only one reason: the iron was not of sufficient quality to support such a delicate weapon.
However, he did not give up, and in his lifetime, he would guide Dahan in this direction. Maybe this generation will not see the results, but there will always be a day when people will achieve it.
At this time, several soldiers brought a waist-thick package, Guo Jia immediately put away his thoughts when he saw this, and said that the future is going to be the solution to the current matter.
If you want to realize what you want, dominating the world is an inevitable premise, and only the strength of the whole country can succeed.
Everyone stepped forward and stared at this square package for a while, unable to associate this suspected burden, the thing with the rope hidden and the powerful artifact.
According to the people's thoughts, what can bulldoze the strong city wall should be a more advanced rushing car.
"Can this thing really bulldoze the city gates?" Zhang Fei was the first to question.
Zhao Yun was also puzzled.
Liu Bei, Xun Yu, and Jia Xu were thoughtful, if it wasn't for Guo Jia joking, it would have had an unexpected effect.
Guo Jia waved his hand, pointed to a few boulders not far away, and said to a few soldiers beside him: "Go, move these stones over and press them on top of this explosives bag." ”
He believes that it is easier to prove it with practical actions than to explain it in words. Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you see the whole picture.
"Whoa!"
Soon, everything was ready.
Just when a few people wanted to ask again, they saw that Guo had already taken Liu Bei to run dozens of steps and covered his ears with his hands.
Several people hurried to follow.
Jia Xu said curiously: "Brother Fengxiao, is this explosive bag really so powerful?" ”
Guo Jia smiled: "If Brother Wen He wants to experience it, he might as well get closer." ”
"I believe in Brother Feng Xiao."
What kind of person is Jia Xu, how can he fall for him, although he doesn't know the magic of this thing, he won't joke with his own life.
After the group distanced themselves, one of the soldiers took a fire breaker from his arms, lit the exposed fuse, and quickly ran away.
This person was not an ordinary soldier, but from the Ordnance Division, and he had long understood the characteristics of this new weapon.
A moment later, a deafening loud bang came, like thunder rolling in the sky, making people tremble all over.
In line of sight, thick smoke was in front of you, and you could faintly see the debris flying everywhere after being blasted.
Liu Bei was stunned and muttered, "Really...... Artifact too! ”
He seemed to have foreseen that in the future attack on Shu, the besieging soldiers tried to dig a large pit under the city gate and bury explosive packets after approaching the city gate, and then blew up the city gate to collapse.
Without the obstruction of the city gate, how could the Shu army, which had been absent from the battle array for a long time, be the opponent of the elite of a hundred battles under his command?
Zhang Fei was surprised and delighted, and scolded and said: "This thing is really powerful, if you get closer, you have to break your bones." ”
Jia Xu also sighed: "With this thing, my army will attack Shu in the south at least ninety percent certainly, and the casualties will be reduced by half." ”
"Perhaps, that's not the limit of this thing."
Xun Yu's words seemed to have seen through the future, although it was only the first time he had seen it, but he had already seen it.
Like what...... If the size of the explosive pack were shortened, would it be able to be used for throwing?
Although the power will be reduced, it will be easy to use, and what would it be like if everyone in the three armies held this object?
Zhao Yun didn't speak, but his eyes were already eager.
At this time, Guo Jia spoke.
"When the old immortal was refining the pill, he accidentally found that this thing would burn when it encountered fire, and if the dose was too much, the power was very amazing, so he named it gunpowder."
"After nearly a year of study, the Ordnance Division finally realized the mystery, and the explosives package also came from this."
"Ma Jun, why don't you come to meet the prime minister?"
It turned out that the soldier was not an ordinary person, but the creator of the explosives bag and the current head of the Ordnance Department.
"See the prime minister."
The two soldiers led by him stepped forward and saluted.
Only then did Liu Bei discover that the other person turned out to be his former personal guard commander, Chen Zhi, Chen Shuzhi.
At the beginning, Guo Jiashen mysteriously came to him to ask for someone, although he didn't know what to do, he still transferred Chen Zhi to the other party.
Now it seems that Chen Zhi's duty should be to lead the soldiers and horses of the Ordnance Division, and to supervise the Ordnance Department to avoid the leakage of secrets.
As for why Chen Zhi is used, it is because he is Liu Bei's henchman, and using him means that the Ordnance Division will always be in Liu Bei's hands.
Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia and said with a wry smile: "Fengxiao, you hide it from me so hard!" ”
Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "I didn't mean to hide the prime minister, but the gunpowder had not yet been developed, and I really didn't know how to report to the prime minister, and asked the prime minister to give him the guilt." ”
"Not only are you not guilty, but you are also a great merit, and you deserve a great reward! Say, whatever you want, just ask. ”
"This is not a merit in the next place, if the prime minister wants to reward it, he might as well reward Ma Jun and others. I just guided a few words, and it was they who really helped. ”
Liu Bei looked at Ma Jun again when he heard this, no wonder this person was valued by Guo Jia when he was only a teenager, and he tried his best to ensure that he served as the Weapons Department [Si Zheng], and he really had something extraordinary.
"Ma Jun, what do you want?"
Liu Bei knew Guo Jia's thoughts, and the other party had just been crowned a marquis, so it was indeed not appropriate to reward him heavily, so he wrote down the other party's merits for the time being.
And...... He already has a position in mind that is most suitable for Guo Jia, and it will be arranged soon.
"The subordinate officials don't want to reward them, I just hope that the prime minister can allocate more funds to the Ordnance Department, so that I can develop other weapons."
