Chapter 504: Black Powder Knocks on the Door: Fu Jun, Times Have Changed!
The slaves, who had come to their senses, hurriedly closed the door in a hurry and panic, not forgetting to drop the latch.
When the door finally closed, they collapsed to the ground as if they had lost their strength.
At this time, the servants who remained in the front yard also understood what was happening outside, and all of them had their legs like chaff and their faces were full of horror.
"This, this group of dead mounds really dare to do it?" One after another, he ran to Lu Jie's side in a panic and asked.
"Father, crazy, all crazy, this Wei Xiang is afraid that he is also infected with the madness of the Son of Heaven, and he is really going to destroy my Lu family!" Lu then shouted as he tugged at his father's robe.
"It's too much to deceive, it's too deceitful!" He gritted his teeth and said.
He looked at the bloody footprints that Lu Jian stepped in from outside the door, and he no longer had the stability of the first head of the family in Luoyang, and he spread his hands and kept wailing.
Before Lu Jie, who stood up with his sword, and the shocked ones came up with a way to deal with it, Chang Yilang, who was surrounding Lu Zhai, began to shoot arrows into the courtyard.
The clusters of arrows flew slowly into the air, and then fell with a whistling sound, knocking down five or six of the servants in the courtyard in the first round.
For a time, there was chaos in the courtyard, with wailing and screaming.
A few arrows also landed directly on the side of the body one after another, which frightened the head of the Lu family.
He hadn't felt the threat of death for a long time.
Just as the servants in the courtyard scattered and fled in all directions, holding their heads and hiding under the eaves, there was a sudden vibration sound of "dong dong dong" outside the gate - Chang Yilang began to attack the door!
"Quick! Go and block the gate before they let them in! Lu Ji braved the rain of arrows and rushed through the courtyard, standing under the door and tearing his throat to command the servants to block the door.
Although the servants in the courtyard have panicked to the extreme, they also understand that they and the master's family are in a relationship of prosperity and loss.
After hesitating for a moment, they immediately rushed to the back of the gate, and pressed it against it with their flesh and blood.
"Knock-knock-knock-"
This voice not only hit the heavy gate, but also hit the hearts of everyone in the Lu family's mansion.
The chaos just now has swept through the entire Lu family mansion, and I'm afraid that no one can handle it calmly.
Their eyes widened in horror as they watched the arrows fall from the sky, and they listened to the sound of the door slamming against each other, not knowing where the way out was.
Lu Jiehe watched the slave behind the door being bounced open and pushed back, pushed back and bounced away, feeling as unreal as in a dream.
Half a month ago, they thought that the princes of the court and the central government could persuade the Son of Heaven to withdraw the edict.
A few days ago, they thought that Wei Xiang was making too much trouble, and he would definitely be dismissed from his post and go back to Chang'an in disgrace.
A few hours ago, they thought that the Lu family was powerful enough to force Wei Xiang to turn a blind eye.
Half an hour ago, they thought that Chang Yilang was just here to go through the motions, and they didn't dare to force their way into the Lu house.
But now, they find themselves completely wrong.
These Changyi Lang are not here to give the Lu family one last chance, but to clean up the Lu family.
When Chang Yilang appeared outside the gate of the Lu family, the Lu family had already missed the last opportunity.
Wei Xiang, this is going to ruin the Lu family!
The Son of Heaven is going to ruin the family of the giant family!
At this time, they can only hope for the gate in front of them, hoping that it can stop those Chang Yilang who don't talk about any feelings.
Only by making these Qiu Bajiu unable to attack, and then making trouble all over the city, can it be possible to make other giant clans feel the same way, and then rise up.
However, there are thousands of Lang Wei who came to the three counties.
The newly made up Changyi Lang and Yu Lin Lang are like wolves, and the six relatives don't recognize each other.
Whether the servants in the family can stop these new armies is still unknown.
But what else can we hope for now?
Just outside the gate, when Lu Jian didn't know whether he was alive or dead, he let the slave rush to kill Xiang Changyilang, the Lu family was already equivalent to rebellion.
I can only think that the law does not blame the public.
The air in the courtyard seemed to freeze, but outside the courtyard there was a solemnity.
The heavy and rotten wooden door was stronger than Liu Xiang imagined, and he smashed it dozens of times with a battering hammer, but it didn't even open it.
"Stop!" Liu Xiang raised his hand and ordered, and the soldiers attacking the door immediately stopped.
"Bring those two powder kegs up!" Liu Xiang shouted again.
"Yui!"
Soon, two wooden barrels filled with compacted granular black powder were lifted up and placed directly under the gate of the Lu family.
These two one-foot high-speed iron hoop barrels look inconspicuous, but they contain powerful power that can destroy the foundation of the family.
All Changyi Lang had seen the power of black powder before, and they understood the destructive nature of this thing, and their eyes were both respectful and afraid.
"Retreat!"
The whole team of Changyi Lang retreated far away, lying on the ground, and plugging their ears with their hands.
Even Liu Xiang sent someone to lead the horse away, and he also fell to the ground.
Everyone's eyes focused on the fire fold in the team's frightened hand.
Seeing that the blown fire fold was brought to the lead, everyone's eyes widened, staring at the spark that made a "sizzle" sound.
The sparks kept jumping towards the powder keg, getting closer and closer, and the heavy air was suffocating......
The moment the fuse burned out, the whole world seemed to fall silent.
……
The servants behind the door and Lu Jian also felt strange, they didn't know why Chang Yilang suddenly stopped.
So, they all subconsciously put their ears on the door panel, trying to catch some movement.
Soon, they also heard the sound of "zizi" that they had never heard before.
The human brain can never come up with something that has never been seen before, so the person behind the door naturally does not know what is outside the door.
Suddenly, a thunderclap sounded!
The servants had not yet figured out why the thunder had not been blown away along with the door panels and jambs when it came from the sky.
In the aftermath and gunsmoke, the door of the Lu family's mansion suddenly opened!
The servants who stood behind the door broke their legs and hands, and lay down on the ground, and there were fewer alive than dead, and few who could move than they could not.
The few people who were clinging to the door panel were torn apart in the blink of an eye.
Although the Changyi Lang blocked their ears in advance, their ears were also buzzing and dizzy.
As for the people in the courtyard, even if they were still alive, they had already collapsed to the ground.
Lu Jian watched as his son was hit by a wooden plank and flew out in two several feet.
One in the east and one in the west.
The five internal organs and the heart, liver, spleen and lungs are also scattered all over the ground, colorful, like falling Ying, and it is very good-looking.
This situation made this old man stand in place like a nerd, and his three souls and seven spirits were scattered.
This thunder not only shook the entire Lu Mansion.
It also shook the entire Luoyang County.
In the future, it will shake the world's giant family.
"Princess, times have changed."
After this thunder, many people will have an intuitive experience of the words that the Son of Heaven often hangs on their lips.
"Kill it! Those who wield blades, those who dare to resist, will be killed! Liu Xiang stood up and ordered.
"Yui!" Chang Yilang shouted and rushed over, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
……
Gunpowder is the release of energy by exploding.
And the way it changes society, too, is very simple, it is done by releasing energy.
In the original history, after gunpowder was introduced to Europa through the Arabs, the castles of the feudal lords became vulnerable.
In the face of gunpowder, the original rock-solid castle became as fragile as a pile of sand.
Without the protection of a fortified castle, it would be difficult for a feudal lord to stand up to the king.
As a result, royal power was strengthened, and a more centralized nation-state emerged naturally.
The situation of the Han Dynasty today is somewhat similar to that of medieval Europe, and the power of the giant clan is developing rapidly.
When the situation of dock forts is formed, the military strength of the central court will definitely be stretched, and in the end, it can only look at the "fort" and sigh.
However, when gunpowder came, it was different.
Not only can you easily blow open the wooden door of the Lu family, but you can also blast through the high wall of the dock fort that has not yet appeared.
Under this power, no power can exist independently of imperial power.
……
After the door of the Lu Mansion was blown open, he took the lead and led the A-shaped team to rush in.
They resolutely carried out Yoo Sang's orders.
All who bear the sword will be killed; All those who dare to resist will be killed.
As for what belongs to the blade and what behavior belongs to resistance, it is naturally Chang Yilang who has the final say.
Blades can be knives and guns, sticks, or scoops.
Resistance can be cursing, running away, or wailing.
In short, they remember clearly what Liu Xiang said in advance - don't be afraid of the dead, and don't be afraid of killing.
Half an hour after Chang Yilang rushed into the gate of the Lu Mansion, no one in the entire Lu Mansion dared to resist, or no one who dared to resist remained.
Then, the living were tied together with ropes and brought out one by one.
Whether it is a slave or a servant, or a relative near or far, there is no exception.
At the forefront of everyone was Lu Jie, the head of the Lu family, who had been frightened to the point of dementia and madness.
From the moment the door of the house was blown open, Lu Ji never said a word again, the expression on his face seemed to be smiling, and he kept raising his hand to touch the back of his head.
It seems to be confirming whether his head on the neck has been blown up into the sky by that thunder.
The owner of the first family in Ruoyang County was scared crazy.
And, it's really crazy.
A team of nearly 1,000 people marched through the city, crying and screaming along the way, wailing and screaming to the sky.
As early as when Chang Yi Lang was dispatched, some good people smelled the opportunity to see the excitement and stood on both sides of the official road and waited.
In this matter, watching the invincible Lu family and the slaves and maids of the Lu family strung together like cattle and horses, the cheers were louder than a while.
"After suffering such a catastrophe, then Lu Fujun can still be so calm, he really has the demeanor of a coat." Passerby A praised.
"Can't you fool see that this Lu Laofujun is afraid that he is crazy, he is scared crazy!" Passerby B scoffed.
"Lu Laofujun is a hero of the three counties, and the world he has seen is not comparable to ordinary people such as me, although the house is broken, how can he be directly scared crazy?!" Passerby C shook his head and said.
"You idiots, didn't you hear that loud bang?" A businessman from Chang'an said with a sneer.
"Isn't that thunder, what's so strange?" Several passers-by around asked in unison.
"Thunder? Have you ever heard the sound of thunder on the flat ground? Merchant A laughed at these strangers who had never seen the world, "It was the movement of gunpowder, stronger than the thunder!" ”
As soon as Chang'an businessman A finished speaking, others immediately thought of the narrative in the "Chang'an Monthly" that came from Chang'an City before.
On the first day of the first lunar month, the north gate of Weiyang Palace specially set off firecrackers to ward off evil spirits, and this firecracker was caused by gunpowder.
The officials and people of Henan County have never seen the power of gunpowder and firecrackers, and their understanding of this object is still at the level of imagination.
"Gunpowder? Isn't that for the plague god? Passerby A asked incredulously.
"Not only can you send the plague god in the sky, but you can also send the plague god column on the earth!" Businessman A doesn't have many families, less than 100,000 yuan, he earns hard-earned money, and he doesn't like giant families.
Under his conscientious explanation, the people around him had already believed seven or eight points, and there was no longer any doubt about the power of gunpowder.
"Then where did Lu Xiaofujun go? Didn't you run away? Passerby B looked around and asked a new question.
"Changyi Lang is a forbidden army, and even the Huo family can't escape from them, let alone this Lu Xiaofujun." Merchant A laughed again at the loneliness of these "villagers".
"But ......"
"Didn't you say just now, this gunpowder can also be sent to the plague god on the ground, what kind of Lu Xiaofujun you are, maybe it has been blown in two." Merchant A sneered again.
When a group of onlookers heard this, they all felt a chill on their waists, and they all reached out and touched their waists.
Isn't being blown up alive in two the same as being cut in half? Look at each other right now, and you have to look at the high and low of this face.
"Wei Fujun is here, these giant families are afraid that they will not have good fruits to eat, they are really happy, and this Lu family is not a good person." Passerby B said.
"It's not that Wei Fujun wants to deal with the giant family, it's the county officials who want to deal with the giant family!" Merchant A pretended to be profound.
"This county official is really willing to start, and the annual taxes paid by the giant family don't know how much?" Passerby C asked.
"You are not in Chang'an, you don't know who the county officials are, the county officials are saints, and they are most concerned about us and other small families and the poor, which is different from the previous county officials......"
After Shang A finished speaking, he repeatedly talked about the benevolent and good deeds carried out by the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, so that others praised the Son of Heaven again and again.
Of course, it is not only good deeds who come to see the excitement, but also many people sent by families with millions of dollars to inquire about the news.
They looked at the tragic situation of the Lu family, and their expressions and behaviors were different.
Those who have already written to self-request for transfer will be granted amnesty and gloating.
Those who did not submit a letter and asked for a transfer were frightened and were on the verge of a catastrophe.
The former was naturally in a more lively mood, and the latter looked at it for a while, and then hurriedly ran to the houses of each family: I had to find a way to save myself.
