Chapter 159: This Is the Molotov cocktail?

Just as Zhu Di and Guo An were talking, Tao Yiping and Yang Ting had already come to the experimental house and were ready.

On the sides of the two, there were already four guards holding square iron shields one person high.

As Yang Ting lit the fuse on the incendiary bomb, Tao Yiping threw it with all his might, and the incendiary bomb was thrown into the test room.

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, on the other hand, were escorted by four soldiers holding iron shields, and quickly ran towards the safe house.

As soon as a few people ran into the safe house, Zhu Di and Guo An heard a loud roar.

Then, I saw a flash of fire in the cement test house, and the cement house was like a haphazard fabrication of mud, directly split and scattered to the ground.

But the strange thing is that inside the cement house, there is still a raging flame, which will not be extinguished for a long time.

Zhu Di's eyes widened, he had never seen such a powerful bomb.

"Guo Qing, this is an incendiary bomb?"

Guo An came back to his senses and replied with some uncertainty: "Your Highness, this thing should be an incendiary bomb." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the cement house that was still burning, "Your Highness, don't you see that the cement house is still burning?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's face changed again, and he was a little puzzled: "It's been so long, why is it still burning?" Did you put hay or oil in the concrete house? ”

Guo An looked helpless, "Your Highness has personally seen the cement house just now, and there is nothing in it." ”

Zhu Di asked: "Then why does cement still burn?" ”

Guo An replied: "Your Highness, because of the incendiary bomb! ”

Zhu Di looked at Guo An speechlessly.

"Ahem~"

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, according to Wei Chen's guess, even if you pour a bucket of water on those fires, you can't extinguish those flames. ”

Zhu Di said directly to Qiu Fu on the side: "Quickly send someone to pour ten buckets of water on that flame for us." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Qiu Fu answered, and walked down quickly.

Guo An looked at Zhu Laosi, who was full of smugness, speechless.

Immediately, he looked at Tao Yiping and Yang Ting on his side, and when he saw two very confident faces, Guo An was relieved.

As if he had been prepared, Qiu Fu went out for a while, and then took ten sturdy guards, each carrying a bucket of water, into the concrete house that had become a ruin.

Buckets of water were then poured into the fire in the ruins.

Cracking sound......

As the curtain of water poured down, half of the flames were shattered.

Zhu Di looked at Guo An, his eyes full of pride.

However, Guo An didn't care about Zhu Di, but walked out directly with curiosity.

Zhu Di's face darkened, and he also followed.

"This time, Guo Qing guessed wrong."

Walking to the ruins and looking at the flames that had gradually dissipated, Zhu Di smiled lightly.

Guo An frowned slightly, "Your Highness is wise, it was Wei Chen who guessed wrong......"

It's just that before the words were finished, Guo An's face was happy.

As for Zhu Di on the side, his eyes widened directly, his face full of surprise.

"How is this possible?"

The place where the flames were originally extinguished by the clear water actually burned clusters of flames again, and they became more and more vigorous.

Behind him, Tao Yi explained in a gentle voice: "Your Highness, as long as the gunpowder in the incendiary bomb explodes, unless the gunpowder is burned out, it will never be extinguished......

Moreover, as long as the gunpowder touches the object, it will adhere tightly to the object, and the water will not wash it away......"

"Hiss......"

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but take a cold breath again.

Turning his head, he looked at the ruins of the cement house that was still burning in front of him, and sure enough, he saw that the gunpowder was all speckled and unaffected by the ten buckets of water just now.

"How weird is this Molotov cocktail?"

Guo An was very satisfied, "Your Highness, with this bomb and fishing nets, there is no need to be afraid of sea thieves anymore." ”

After Guo An's reminder, Zhu Di also thought of the usefulness of the incendiary bomb, and couldn't help but be excited, "When the Japanese invaders come closer, first use a fishing net to catch a net, and then directly throw this incendiary bomb on the Japanese boat, those Japanese can escape!" ”

Guo An said again: "Your Highness, if my Yan Wangfu has enough incendiary bombs, I can kill all the way to the Wa Kingdom and kill them all!" ”

Zhu Di was stunned, "Why does Guo Qing want to invade the Japanese Kingdom?" Moreover, Guo Qing is so murderous to the widows? ”

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting on the side were also stunned, and looked at Guo An with frightened faces.

They never imagined that the master, who was usually very kind, would be so murderous.

Guo An replied: "Your Highness, those Japanese robbers dare to keep plundering the coast of my Ming Dynasty, so why can't my Ming Dynasty send troops to attack his Japanese country, tooth for tooth, blood for blood......

No, although the Japanese are hateful, Weichen heard that there seem to be some good things on the island of the Japanese country, and he can't kill them all, otherwise the killing will be too great! ”

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, "That's exactly how it should be." ”

Guo An also said: "The Japanese are afraid of power but not virtue, and those who do not obey discipline should be killed." Obedient and obedient, give me Yanwangfu to mine! ”

"Mining?"

Zhu Di smiled lightly and said: "Guo Qing doesn't need to be in such a hurry, there are many Mongolians in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, wait until we go out with the army and catch tens of thousands of Mongolians for Guo Qing to mine." ”

Guo An smiled faintly and explained: "Your Highness, what Wei Chen said is the mine of the Wa Kingdom. ”

Zhu Di looked disdainful, "The country is barren, even if there are mines, it is not worth wasting my Ming troops to go to conquer." ”

Guo An asked a little strangely: "How did Your Highness know that the Wa Kingdom is barren?" ”

Zhu Di replied: "The people of the Japanese Kingdom have pretended to be thieves and robbed Goryeo and the Ming Dynasty for many years, so isn't it barren? ”

Guo An asked helplessly: "Your Highness, do you know how many people are there in the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Zhu Di replied: "We have heard that there seem to be millions of people in the Japanese country. ”

Guo An asked again: "Your Highness, do you know how many Japanese robbers come to rob Goryeo and my Ming every year?" ”

"Up to twenty or thirty thousand people... Well? ”

Zhu Di sensed that something was wrong and looked at Guo An in surprise.

"Guo Qing, what do you mean?"

Guo An said: "Your Highness, if the Wa Kingdom is really barren, how can there be only twenty or thirty thousand Wako robbing my Ming or Goryeo every year?" ”

Zhu Di's expression moved slightly, "What Guo Qing means, is the country not as barren as my Ming officials think?" ”

"It's nature."

Guo An nodded slightly: "Your Highness, the Wa Kingdom is a little barren compared to my Ming Dynasty, but compared to my Beiping Mansion, Weichen does not dare to guarantee it." ”

Zhu Di was taken aback, "Guo Qing is saying that the Wa Kingdom is even richer than our Beiping Mansion?" But how is this possible? ”

On the side, Qiu Fu, Li Wang and others were also full of disbelief.

At this time, everyone in the Ming Dynasty only believed that the Ming Dynasty was the richest country in the world.

The surrounding small countries of Goryeo, Wa, Chenla, and Annam were all barren, and even sending troops to conquer them was a thankless effort that outweighed the losses.

Guo An also knew the thoughts of these people, and he didn't explain too much.

"Your Highness's forgiveness, these are all inferences from Wechen, and Wechen has never been to the Wa Kingdom."

Immediately, as soon as the topic changed, he continued: "The most important thing at present is to hurry up and make incendiary bombs to burn all those Japanese robbers who dare to covet the fishing boats of my Yanwang Mansion in the Bohai Sea. ”

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An deeply and did not continue to ask.

Instead, he nodded slightly, "What Guo Qing said is extremely true. ”

Then, he turned his head to look at Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, "You two have made meritorious contributions in developing incendiary bombs, but if you have anything you want, we will reward you and others." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Tao Yiping and Yang Ting's eyes, and they immediately shook their heads again and again.

"Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, this incendiary bomb recipe is provided by the master, all the ingredients are provided by His Highness, and before that, there are a number of craftsmen who have studied and experimented, and the two of us can make an incendiary bomb, which can only be regarded as a contribution."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, "A point of effort is also a credit, since you and the other two have no needs, then we will reward them according to the rules."

Make an incendiary bomb, and you two should be the first to do it, and each of you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver. As for the craftsmen who assist you both, each of them will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting hurriedly thanked.

"Since the two of you have entered our Yan Palace, we will definitely not treat you badly. As long as you can develop better firearms, or good objects that benefit the country and the people like transparent glass and cement, we will be rewarded more abundantly. ”

Zhu Di said again.

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting hurriedly replied, "Please also rest assured His Royal Highness King Yan, the two of us will not live up to His Royal Highness's love." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction.

On the side, Guo An added: "Everything in this gunpowder workshop is confidential, and you two must not reveal anything to the outside world." ”

"Master rest assured, both of us will stay in the workshop in the future to study new objects, and will never reveal them to the outside world."

Tao Yiping and Yang Ting reassured.

Guo An nodded slightly, "You two can have the concept of secrecy in your hearts, especially the incendiary bomb formula."

You two should know best how powerful this incendiary bomb is. Once this formula leaks out and is used by thieves, then Da Ming will have a big mess. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of Zhu Di, Qiu Fu and others couldn't help but be stunned.

As for Tao Yiping and Yang Ting, they shivered directly, and only the two of them who made the incendiary bomb themselves could understand how harmful it would be if the incendiary bomb formula leaked out.

"Please also rest assured, Master and Your Highness, after the two of us go back, we will immediately burn all the recipes for incendiary bombs......"

"You don't need to tell us about this matter, how to keep it secret, just discuss it with His Highness or General Qiu Fu."

……

On the way back.

Zhu Di asked Guo An in the carriage: "How to keep the incendiary bomb secret, I don't know what Guo Qing's good plan is?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Highness, no matter what kind of thing you want to keep secret, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

Therefore, in this matter, it is inconvenient for Wechen to participate.

However, Wei Chen felt that this incendiary bomb was a bit ruthless, and asked His Highness to control it in his own hands and not hand it over to anyone. ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and nodded slowly after a while.

"We got it!"

"Your Highness is wise!" Guo An replied.

Zhu Di frowned and thought, he had also seen the power of the incendiary bomb, and he really couldn't let anyone control it.

And......

Well?

Suddenly, Zhu Di had one eye and glared angrily at Guo An, who was looking out of the window on the other side.

The formula for this incendiary bomb was provided by Guo An, so for him, there was no such thing as a secret......

This thief!
