Chapter 46: Convincing Xu Yongan

The Ming army was extremely strict in its control over gunpowder.

After all, Grandpa Tai relied on sharp firearms to pacify Yunnan.

When he became a grandfather, he relied on sharp firearms and cavalry to sweep the grassland.

The emperors of the old Zhu family all knew the power of gunpowder. Even if he is as stupid as the Ming God of War Castle Sect, he has thrown a lot of money at the Shenji Camp.

According to the military regulations of the Ministry of War, the guard lost more than three barrels (30 catties) of gunpowder, and the commander was to establish a revolutionary post.

Taishan Wei commanded the big tent.

Chang Feng, Xu Fatzi, and Liu Jin met Xu Yongan.

Xu Yongan said: "Fat nephew, your position of pro-soldier hundred households has been approved by the Yamen of the Shandong Metropolitan Division." ”

"If you are willing to follow me on the side of Taishanwei, just stay. If you don't want to, you can also hang an empty title to receive a salary and stay in Qufu to enjoy yourself. ”

Xu Fatzi said: "Second uncle." We're not here for my position. Changfeng has something to ask you for. ”

Xu Yongan is a cheerful person: "It's all my own family." What's the matter, just say it. ”

Chang Feng asked, "Uncle Shi, how much gunpowder does your military arsenal have?" ”

Xu Yongan replied: "Two hundred barrels." What's wrong? ”

Chang Feng asked, "Uncle Shi, can you give me all the gunpowder?" ”

Xu Yongan jumped up from his chair like a frightened toad: "What do you want two hundred barrels of gunpowder for?" Is it difficult to rebel? ”

The situation is urgent, and Chang Feng can't care about keeping it secret. He said bluntly: "I want gunpowder to protect the prince." ”

Xu Yongan frowned: "Prince Bao? What does it have to do with the gunpowder in my Taishan Wei arsenal? ”

Chang Feng explained: "I just received news from Beijing. The emperor's intention to abolish the prince is decisive. Father-in-law Huaien has been demoted to Nanjing. ”

"For today's plan, only by creating a disaster in Mount Tai can we change the situation."

"To create a strange disaster, you need a lot of gunpowder."

Chang Feng laid out his own plans and plans.

He planned to bury two hundred barrels of gunpowder at the foot of Mount Tai, two miles away from the private house of the Jiangnan Shi clan.

Two hundred barrels of gunpowder is two thousand catties. Once the ground is ignited and exploded, there must be a slight shock to the private house of the scholars.

At that time, he would have his brothers beat gongs and drums and shout "Ground moves!" around the private house. Disaster avoidance! ”

The Jiangnan Shi clan will spare their lives and will definitely run out and run around.

The next step is to spread rumors! He will let Yan Shenggong act as a rumor, summon the Jiangnan Shi clan, and exaggerate the movement of Mount Tai, and Qufu, which is hundreds of miles away, will also be shaken.

With the literati's beating of false rumors, one person and ten thousand people, the slight vibration of the house will be transmitted into a disaster of earth shaking and collapse of the house.

Chang Feng will let Yan Shenggong and Tai'an prefect Liu Daxia take the lead, and jointly write to the court with the Jiangnan scholars, and play Mount Tai to move.

At that point, Chang Feng's task of coming to Shandong to "create a disaster" was completed.

As for the people left by Huai En in the capital, whether they can change Emperor Chenghua's mind through the "Taishan Strange Disaster", it is not a question that Chang Feng can consider.

Now, the key to this plan is whether Xu Yongan can cooperate.

Xu Yongan stared at Chang Feng and said two words categorically: "No!" ”

Chang Feng was stunned: "Uncle Shi? ”

Xu Yongan said: "My ancestor Zhongshan Wang Xue left a legacy for his children and grandchildren - whether the Xu family is an official, they cannot interfere in the country's major affairs!" ”

"Whether the crown prince is abolished or not is a private matter of the Zhu Ming royal family. The Xu family can't get involved! ”

Chang Feng said angrily: "Could it be that Uncle Shi wants to watch the crown prince be deposed and the traitorous party completely control the government?" ”

Xu Yongan said with a straight face: "I am a military general." Generals should do their duty! It is one of my duties to protect the gunpowder in the arsenal and not to leak a barrel! ”

There was a brief silence in the tent.

If Xu Yongan does not agree to hand over the gunpowder. Chang Feng's plan has become a castle in the air!

Xu Yongan, who is dead-eyed, has become the biggest stumbling block on the road of Changfeng to protect the heroes!

"Hahaha!" Chang Feng suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed.

Xu Yongan asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Chang Feng said in a mocking tone: "I laugh at you for calling yourself the prince of Zhongshan!" ”

"It's clearly talking nonsense with your eyes open! Whether it is the nobles or officials in the capital, they all regard the Duke of Wei in Nanjing as the authentic prince of Zhongshan. ”

"Jingshi Dingguo Gong is not the descendants of the King of Zhongshan, only the descendants of Xu Zengshou!"

"Sure enough, Xu Zengshou's descendants are the same as Xu Zengshou, a group of cowards who only want to protect their own wealth!"

Chang Feng's words are very heavy.

During the Battle of Jingjing, Xu Da's eldest son Xu Huizu and his third son Xu Zengshou stood on a completely different position.

Xu Huizu firmly believes that loyal ministers do not matter to the two masters. Fought for Emperor Jianwen to the last moment. Even if Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, he would never bow his head. In the end, he was imprisoned to death by Emperor Yongle.

Xu Zengshou became the internal response of Emperor Yongle in Nanjing City. It provided the Yan army with a lot of intelligence on the Southern Army. In the end, he was noticed by Emperor Jianwen and killed with his own hands.

Emperor Yongle ascended the throne and posthumously crowned the dead Xu Zengshou as the Duke of Dingguo, which belonged to the list of nobles of Jingnan.

Later, Emperor Yongle moved the capital. The founding honors stayed in Nanjing, and the Jingnan honors moved to Beijing.

However, the Jing Nan Xun in the Beijing Division has always looked down on the Dingguo Gong lineage.

Most of the nobles admired Xu Huizu, the Duke of Wei, who would rather bend than bend, and despised Xu Zengshou, the grass on the wall.

Chang Feng's words just now touched Xu Yongan's scales!

The descendants of Dingguo Gong are most taboo for others to say that their ancestor Xu Zengshou is a coward.

Xu Yongan was furious, walked to Chang Feng's side, and directly drew a knife across his neck.

Xu Yongan said angrily: "You dare to slander my ancestors? Just by asking me for gunpowder, I can correct you on the spot and report to the court that you rebelled! ”

Chang Feng's face was calm: "Uncle Shi wants to take my head and ask for merit and reward from the traitorous party?" Come on! ”

"Oh, your eldest brother is in the capital, groveling to the traitorous party all day long. I'm not surprised that you're doing that. After all, it's a brother! ”

Chang Feng is extremely sarcastic and sarcastic. The fat man Xu on the side heard that his face was blue and purple for a while.

Xu Fatzi begged Xu Yongan bitterly: "Second uncle, let's set the lineage of the country, and we should also be heroes who punish rape and eliminate evil!" ”

"Let those people who look down on our Dingguo Mansion on weekdays see, we are not only the descendants of Xu Zengshou, but also the descendants of Xu Da!"

"Like the ancestor King Zhongshan, we have a heart of loyalty to the monarch and protect the country!"

Chang Feng shouted: "Fatty, that's a good point!" What does it mean to be loyal to the monarch and protect the country? To fight against the traitorous party, to protect the prince is to be loyal to the monarch and protect the country! ”

"Uncle Shi, it's not that I look down on you. You can't catch up with your nephew! ”

Chang Feng and Xu Fatzi sang and harmonized, and Xu Yongan was red-faced.

Suddenly, Xu Yongan raised the waist knife in his hand high and slashed down diagonally.

Chang Feng closed his eyes. didn't die in the hands of the concubine party, did he want to die in the hands of Xu Yongan?

Fortunately, Xu Yongan did not split Chang Feng's head, but a tea table on the side.

"Smack"! Its strength was so great that it directly cut the tea table in two.

Then Xu Yongan said to Chang Feng: "Okay. I'll leave it up to you what you want to do! ”
