Chapter 186: "Apocalypse Big Bang"

Last time, I talked about the "cultivators" who "fought the method" in the sky above the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, and the power was too great, which led to the leakage of energy, which caused the "Apocalypse Big Bang".

In fact, the Ming Empire in the "Apocalypse Period" has been in turmoil, with the invasion of Jin soldiers outside, and the peasant uprising inside, which is at the head of a national crisis. Whether it is Nurhachi in the "Houjin" in the northeast, or the rebels in the Ming Dynasty to make trouble, blowing up the gunpowder depot of the Beijing division is undoubtedly the best strategy to crit the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

It's just that once this incident happens, if you understand it from the perspective of "mortals", you will naturally think that it is a "spy", but where can you think that there is another "world" in a higher cosmic dimension that controls the occurrence of this matter, that is, the conflict between the "Xiuzhen Alliance" and the "Lubanmen".

However, according to the Ming Dynasty officials, Wang Gong factory was subordinate to the Ministry of Industry, in addition to a eunuch in charge of the factory, there were 60 craftsmen and nearly 100 forbidden soldiers in peacetime. If such a group of spies sneaked into Wang Gong's factory quietly, it would be impossible not to alarm the garrison forbidden army, after all, this is the imperial court arsenal, and it is impossible not to pay attention to it.

Therefore, the suspicions of Wang Yehao, the "Lord of Imperial History", were quickly overshadowed by some objections. At that time, someone named Shen Guoyuan wrote a book "The Letters of the Two Dynasties", which recorded in detail the contents of the newspapers that specialized in carrying the "Apocalypse" and "Chongzhen" dynasties.

After Shen Guoyuan quoted the statement of "Tianbiandi Banknote", he made a supplementary explanation, and mentioned that after the explosion of Wang Gong's factory, the official had rescued a little eunuch "Wu Er". According to Wu Er, before the explosion, there was a vision in the sky, "but when I saw a strong wind, there was a fire in it, which caused the whole factory to burn the medicine altar, and more than 30 people died in the same way, and he was the only one left." The "testimony" of the little eunuch Wu Er was later adopted by the "Records of Ming Xi Zong" and was determined to be a gunpowder explosion.

However, more than 30 people in the same work died, and only Wu Er's probability of not dying is extremely low. Then, according to the "mortal" idea to explain reasonably, there are nothing more than two, either this fire was put on Wu Er, or someone is bragging about it, putting this | " The causes and effects of the "weird Big Bang" are deliberately distorted.

If this "weird explosion" was deliberately detonated by the little eunuch Wu Er, then does he have the conditions to commit the crime? However, according to historical records, it is unlikely that he will complete the crime alone, because since the Ming Dynasty developed the "Shenji Battalion", it has a very strict grasp of the manufacture and control of gunpowder.

For sulfur and saltpeter, the two main raw materials for the manufacture of black powder, the official adopts unified purchase. As a strategic material reserve, sulfur and saltpeter cannot be sold at will among the people. If there is no "palace quotation slip", those who dare to sell it privately will be punished with the crime of entrapment of private goods, and they will be punished with raiding their homes and executing at worst!

The "Da Ming Law" stipulates that anyone who sells illicit salt will be punished with 100 rods and three years in prison; If there is a weapon, add one class, add three classes to those who falsely accuse ordinary people, and those who resist arrest will be beheaded! Therefore, Wu Er, a little eunuch who knows how to save his life, is not stupid enough to choose this way of throwing himself into the net to prove himself.

It is speculated from this that the best chance for the little eunuch Wu Er to commit the crime is only to do things in the black powder pile of Wang Gong's factory. However, anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that black powder is very sensitive. All it takes is a slight spark, even a lightning strike, to ignite and explode violently on the spot.

Therefore, the assumption that the little eunuch Wu Er fled the scene after committing the crime is not valid at all. So, what is the truth about the explosion? No one knows!

In fact, whether it is "Tianchangdi Banknote" or "Records of Ming Xi Zong", it is difficult to escape the control of the "Donglin Party", a party dispute group in the late Ming Dynasty, because in the compilation team of "Ming Xi Zong Records", He Fengsheng, a member of the Donglin Party, served as the chief compiler and participated in the revision of history, so it is inevitable that he will not "carry private goods" and write scribbles.

According to scholars' research, the earliest collection of "Tianbiandi Banknote" as a first-hand historical material, in addition to "Ming Shilu", also includes the Ming Dynasty anthology "Song Tianlu Pen" and "Blue Blood Record". The common denominator of these two books is that "when the Wei Party is annihilated, it is appropriate to remember the affairs of the murdered ministers." It was written by a member of the "Donglin Party".

To put it bluntly, this is a propaganda book for political propositions led by the "Donglin Party". As we all know, the "Donglin Party" and the "Eunuch Party" at the end of the Ming Dynasty were incompatible.

Some scholars therefore suspect that "Heavenly Change" is likely to be a "man-made disaster" deliberately exaggerated and fabricated by the "Donglin Party" after the explosion of Wang Gongchang. Its purpose is to use the so-called "heavenly punishment" to create a kind of social public opinion that the "eunuch leader" Wei Zhongxian and his henchmen have acted perversely and provoked God's anger, and then to rescue their comrades who had been arrested and imprisoned for political struggles, after all, the "Donglin Party" at this time was in a weak position in the struggle against the "eunuch party".

Because just a year before the explosion, Wei Zhongxian, the most powerful eunuch of the "Apocalypse Dynasty", had just completed a massacre of the "Donglin Party". Yang Lian, a minister from the "Donglin Party", reported Wei Zhongxian's 24 major crimes of killing his head because of his real name, and was then severely tortured to death by the secret service.

After the persecution of the minister Yang Lian to death, Wei Zhongxian, who was known as "9,900 years old", and his subordinates of the "eunuch party" not only failed to suppress the hostile arrogance of the "Donglin party" as expected, but even caused Huang Zunsu and others to launch a second attack on Wei Zhongxian and other "eunuch figures" in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

So, in the second year, that is, in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, with evidence that Huang Zunsu, Zhou Shunchang and others had tried to rescue Wang Wenyan, a member of the Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian decided to do the same again. In May, Huang Zunsu, Zhou Shunchang, Li Yingsheng, Zhou Qiyuan and others were arrested and imprisoned and killed, which is known as the "Seven Gentlemen of Donglin" case.

Who knows, only a few days later, the gunpowder magazine of Wang Gong's factory exploded. This kind of subtle connection inevitably makes people think that the "Donglin Party" is actually fierce to the point that you are even willing to do anything in the open and secret struggle with the "Eunuch Party"! Of course, this is only understood from the perspective of "mortals".

In the "Heavenly Change Mansion" that circulated after the explosion, in addition to the folk description of the disaster scene at that time, a large number of ink was also written on the faces of the upper class. According to records, after the explosion, the officials of Qin Tianjian had a divination: "The one who sings the earth should be a traitor in the court, and it is a great evil elephant, and it is advisable for the whole world to attack it." After being heard by the members of the "eunuch party" to Wei Zhongxian's ears, he directly ordered someone to kill this official with a cane without saying a word, so as to "kill chickens and make an example of monkeys".

In addition, at the time of the big explosion, in addition to Dong Kewei, another minister who opposed the "Donglin Party" "Pan Yunyi" was also killed in the big bang. But the lady who has not seen Pan Yunyi for a long time and has been eating fasting and chanting Buddha was found after the explosion, but she was "holding a bronze Buddha and kneeling in the atrium, and the tiles of his room did not move". And the concubine room in the front room who secretly enjoyed with Pan Yunyi was "under heavy pressure" at the moment. It seems that there is a god watching.

The explosion was unprecedented. Mrs. Pan's room was not moving, and it can be concluded that there is a great deal of fraud. It can be seen that in the process of creating this book, the writer of "Heavenly Change" deliberately used "Heavenly Punishment" to direct social public opinion to some villains, which is really "the party is the same and the party fights against differences".

Although the "Wang Gongchang explosion" incident has long been characterized by the imperial court as an "accidental explosion of gunpowder", and the casualty report after the accident has been completed relatively accurately. However, due to the technical constraints at that time, the specific cause of the "strange explosion" is still inconclusive, so it has become an "unsolved case".

At that time, the detailed records of the explosion of Wang Gongchang, in addition to the "Tianbian Di Banknote", also have reference value for Liu Ruoyu's "Zhizhongzhi" and Zhu Zuwen's "Bingyin's Northbound Diary". In both books, it is mentioned that the explosion "does not burn an inch of wood" and "all the fires in the furnace of the collapsed house are extinguished". Combined with the record in "Heavenly Change Mansion", a few days before the explosion, the prefect of Jinan, Shandong Province had incense to the local City God Temple, and a "strange incident" occurred.

At that time, the entourage and the prefect himself pushed the door in, and there was a strange phenomenon that all fainted to the ground. Wang Yan, a "modern scholar" in later generations, deduced that the explosion may be related to the underground natural gas leakage at that time, which is often referred to as "carbon monoxide poisoning" and explosion.
