I have to admit that the emperor is too sincere.

But Liang Dafu is very sober and knows that they have a purpose.

Sure enough, Ichiro Watanabe brought it up.

Liang Dafu didn't think about it, and directly refused: "No! ”

Watanabe Ichiro's face became a little gloomy: "Dean Liang, if you do this, it will make His Majesty the Emperor very embarrassed, he gave you all his women and daughters, don't you think sincerity is not enough?" ”

Liang Dafu didn't want to anger Watanabe Ichiro and the emperor, so he shook his head and said, "I naturally saw the emperor's sincerity, but who can guarantee that after I hand over the formula, he won't turn his face?" ”

"Dean Liang, don't worry, His Majesty the Emperor will do what he says, and your value is not just a gunpowder formula."

Watanabe Ichiro said this very directly and frankly, but Liang Dafu didn't eat him, shook his head and said: "I don't trust you, the gunpowder formula will definitely be handed over, but not now." ”

Watanabe Ichiro said with a gloomy face: "I suggest that you don't do this, His Majesty the Emperor will not accommodate you without limits!" ”

"So be it."

Liang Dafu thought for a while and said: "From tomorrow, oh not the day after tomorrow, I will start making gunpowder, and your people can participate in the whole process, which is equivalent to slowly telling you the formula, and by the way, I have trained talents to make gunpowder." ”

Watanabe Ichiro was overjoyed and thought it was feasible, so he told the emperor.

The emperor was also overjoyed, and after admonishing the princess and concubine who were chosen by Liang Dafu, he left with everyone.

Liang Dafu was taken by several women to a palace to bathe and change clothes.

The meat sent to the mouth is not eaten in vain, Liang Dafu is not a pedantic person, he didn't have time when he was in the capital before, but at this time he completely chose to let go, and he should go to visit Bada Hutong.

Among them, the wonderful taste remains unchanged and elaborates.

But he said that Watanabe Ichiro came to him on the second day, but Liang Dafu refused, saying that he wanted to cultivate well, Watanabe Ichiro and the emperor were also wonderful people, and they sent a lot of all kinds of big things.

The next day, he still refused, citing that he was tired, and Watanabe Ichiro and the emperor expressed their understanding.

On the third day, he still refused, and the emperor was a little displeased, but he still endured it.

On the fourth day, Liang Dafu met with the emperor and Watanabe Ichiro.

He was indeed a little tired and couldn't bear it.

In addition, he felt that the emperor's patience should be at its limit.

Most importantly, he thought of a way to trick the emperor hard.

"Dean Liang, are you still satisfied with my hospitality?" The Emperor asked with a smile on his face and a calm tone.

"Very satisfied." Liang Dafu nodded and went straight to the point, "Let's start making gunpowder today, you need to find some raw materials for me." ”

The Emperor was overjoyed: "That's great! What ingredients do you need?! ”

"Brimstone! Lots of sulfur! The more the merrier! This is the most important thing in gunpowder! Liang Dafu said very seriously.

"Brimstone, what is that?" The emperor was at a loss.

Liang Dafu explained for a long time, and Watanabe Ichiro understood what it was, explained to the emperor, and said that he had smelled the smell of gunpowder after the explosion, and it did have a very strong smell of sulfur.

He said that Liang Dafu did not lie to them.

The Emperor asked again, "Dean Liang, what do you need besides sulfur?" ”

Liang Dafu said very seriously: "Sulfur is the most important, sulfur is also the most difficult to deal with, other things, when the sulfur is processed, you will know, too early to take out is prone to accidents." ”

The emperor is not stupid, how can he not hear that Liang Dafu deliberately did not say it?

However, he can also understand that this shows that Liang Dafu has not completely trusted them and must work harder.

Then, the whole Wako moved, searched everywhere for brimstone, and was sent to the Emperor's Palace in a steady stream.

Liang Dafu also showed great enthusiasm, personally taught, and brought dozens of widows to deal with the sulfur very seriously, and the processed ones were stacked in one room.

In the blink of an eye, a few hundred catties of sulfur were disposed of.

The methods of the widows who followed him became more and more skilled, Liang Dafu simply stopped, and let them do it, while he became the shopkeeper and came to the room where the sulfur was stacked.

Looking at the piles of sulfur, Liang Dafu sneered in his heart.

When Li Changfeng taught him the formula of gunpowder, he specially reminded him of the dangers of sulfur.

The sulfur powder itself is very harmful to the respiratory and digestive systems, but as long as you pay attention, you will be fine, but if it is burned, the gas produced will be emitted, and people will have nowhere to hide.

He still clearly remembers what Li Changfeng once said about sulfur dioxide and sulfur monoxide, and what is not enough to burn enough, and later he did experiments when verifying the gunpowder formula.

He still remembers how uncomfortable it was to inhale a small amount of that smoke.

If so much sulfur were to be burned in a fire, the consequences would not be conceivable with a dose as large as a fingernail in an experiment.

Liang Dafu asked the emperor to keep searching, and more and more sulfur was sent over.

The other side.

Li Changfeng took Chunni and Liang Dafu to the country of Wako.

After learning the news of Liang Dafu from Zhou Jianbo that day, Li Changfeng immediately went to the palace to see Emperor Qianwu to ask for war.

After Emperor Qianwu learned that it was the Japanese who did it, he was also angry, and almost didn't bite his mouth full of steel teeth, and agreed to Li Changfeng's request to go on the expedition without the slightest hesitation, and told Li Changfeng to bring Liang Dafu back.

Then Li Changfeng ordered the mobilization of a total of fifteen ironclad warships, as well as many ordinary wooden warships, a total of more than fifty ships, and made Zhou Jianbo a general.

The artillery battalion and the musket battalion can also follow him, and Li Changfeng ordered Zhao Yong to lead, as Zhou Jianbo's deputy, giving him such an opportunity to train.

As for the Air Force, it is naturally led by Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng had only one request for Zhou Jianbo and others, that is, to destroy the Japanese invaders.

As for how to fight him specifically, he did not participate in it, as long as Zhou Jianbo and the others were not stupid like pigs, they would never lose.

After arranging this, Li Changfeng, Chunni, and Wang Tiezhu set off ahead of time to come to the Japanese Kou, and he planned to rescue Liang Dafu before the army came, so as to avoid any accidents after the war between the two countries.

His goal was Edo.

Edo is the name of the Japanese capital, where the Emperor's Palace and Amaterasu Shrine are located.

After Li Changfeng asked for directions, he led the two of them to gallop towards Edo, and the speed was as fast as lightning.

On the way, he noticed that the entire country seemed to be looking for sulfur everywhere, Li Changfeng was a little helpless, could it be that Liang Dafu surrendered to the enemy so quickly?

Can't!

However, when he noticed that a large amount of sulfur had been sent to Edo, but there was no other thing equipped with gunpowder to be found, Li Changfeng suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"I always feel that Liang Dafu, this bastard, is holding back some bad moves!"
