Jinyi champion

Chapter 298
When Zhu Hao spoke, his small eyes aimed at Tang Yin, the meaning was obvious.

I brought up the topic, and concluded that you are the commander in chief of the army after all, and only by speaking from your mouth can you establish your prestige among the generals of the Xingwangfu Yiwei Division.

Tang Yin really understood Zhu Hao's meaning, and his face was gloomy: "These three groups of bandits all have the background of Prince Ning's Mansion, or they are simply led by people from Prince Ning's Mansion, and they are all guided or operated by professionals from the layout before the battle, the command before the battle, and the aftermath. Tell me, are they officials or thieves?"

Luo An asked in surprise: "Mr. Tang, before... why didn't you tell King Xing in detail... Oh, I understand, you are afraid of causing unnecessary disputes, right?"

On this side Tang Yin followed Zhu Hao's words to analyze, and on the other side someone immediately made up his mind.

Compared to Luo An's "knowledge later", Lu Song is a sensible person. He can see that the main reason why Tang Yin didn't say anything earlier is probably that Zhu Hao didn't come, and no one was there to analyze it. Tang Yin didn't expect this.

But behind the three gangs of thieves there is the shadow of Prince Ning's Mansion, it doesn't seem to be a secret, does it?

They are blatantly coming towards Anluzhou, isn't it just to trouble you, Tang Yin?

Lu Songdao: "In this way, it should be dealt with more carefully...Mr. Tang, do you see if it is necessary to report to King Xing and let King Xing participate in King Ning's book during the court?"

Tang Yin shook his head: "The relationship between the thieves and Prince Ning's Mansion is not superficial, it's all secretly connected. Even if Prince Xing's mansion is impeached, there will be treacherous people in the court who will excuse King Ning. Besides, this is not Jiangxi after all. Without conclusive evidence, how can the court believe it?"

Right now, it is possible to analyze the inside story of the thief army's threat to Anlu, but it is difficult to produce any evidence.

King Xing's Mansion is also afraid of being said to be too sharp. King Ning is doing well in Jiangxi, why do you attack and say that he is the backer of bandits?

Even if there is evidence, the traitors in the court will not allow the evidence to be presented to the emperor, and there are some ways to obstruct it, not to mention that it is all speculation now.

Tang Yin looked expectantly at Zhu Hao and asked, "Do you have any good suggestions for coming here this time?"

Zhu Hao thought to himself, you Tang Yin finally remembered to ask me for advice, he replied with a smile: "There is a suggestion, even if the three gangs of thieves are stationed outside the city, they seem unstoppable, but the defenders in the city cannot." Watching them make trouble, we should always wait for an opportunity to attack, if a night attack occurs and the bandits suffer heavy losses..."

Luo An originally thought that Zhu Hao had some clever tricks, but after hearing this, he shook his head repeatedly, and retorted: "It's easy to say, the thieves outside the city will strengthen their defenses at night, this plan will not work."

Zhu Hao said: "If it is an ordinary night attack, it will not be effective. A large number of troops will only startle the enemy, and change from a sneak attack to a frontal confrontation. The main purpose of the thieves camping outside the city is to monitor every move in the city... But if Sending only a few people in the city can cause confusion and even a commotion among them?"

"you……"

Tang Yin originally wanted to verify what kind of strategy it was.

But after hearing Zhu Hao's strategy, he also had the same doubts, and wanted to ask, do you have any misunderstandings about war?Do you really think this is a child's play house, and sending a few people over at random can cause riots among the enemies?

Lu Song asked: "But you want to set fire?"

At this time, only Lu Song, who admired Zhu Hao so much and had seen Zhu Hao's heaven-defying ability before, would follow Zhu Hao's thinking.

Tang Yin immediately shook his head: "Although the weather is dry right now, if a fire is to be caused, the fire must spread quickly. Judging from the current situation where the three groups of thieves are camping separately, it is obvious that we have taken precautions against this."

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Tang, do you have time? I'll take you to see something later. I mentioned it to you before. It would be best if this thing can help you, otherwise..."

Tang Yin couldn't find a way to defeat the enemy, and his heart was restless. Hearing Zhu Hao's words, his heart suddenly moved.

Lu Song urged: "Since Young Master Zhu came here specifically to find Mr. Tang, let's go and have a look. Mr. Tang's short-term departure should not have much impact on the city defense."

Tang Yin pondered for a while, Zhu Hao had said twice that he would take him to see a certain thing, and he had pointed out that it was a sharp weapon that could cause chaos in the enemy camp, he really wanted to know what it was.

"That being the case, anyway, I will go back to the palace to report the war situation to King Xing later, and I will go with you after the matter is over."

Tang Yin made a decision immediately.

……

……

Tang Yin rushed back to Xingwang Mansion, reported the new trends of the bandits to Zhu Youzhu, Yuan Zonggao and others, discussed countermeasures, and went to the West Court dormitory to call Zhu Hao after he came out.

Lu Song didn't go with him, Tang Yin was accompanied by Luo An, and now Luo An shouldered the important task of protecting Tang Yin, the former commander-in-chief of the enemy.

After leaving the gate of the palace, Zhu Hao and Tang Yin took the same carriage.

Tang Yin roughly explained the situation when he met King Xing: "...Now the government has the intention to make peace with the bandits. The bandits who have been arrested in the city are sent out and want to release them. Bring out the government's conditions. The officials and gentry negotiated to spend a sum of money and food, and let the bandits withdraw from Anlu Prefecture by themselves."

Zhu Hao felt sad for a while.

The thieves were looting outside the city, committing crimes, and the government didn't want to think about how to wipe out the thieves and restore peace to the people, so they actually wanted to negotiate with the thieves?Also take out money and food in exchange for the bandits to retreat?
Where can the bandits retreat?Isn't it just running around, creating chaos, growing stronger and stronger like a snowball, and finally Anlu Prefecture can really be saved?

Tang Yin sighed wistfully: "I know what you're thinking, there's nothing you can do about it. It's spring plowing season now, some fields have already sown seedlings, and winter wheat is heading. If bandits wantonly destroy it, it will seriously affect this year's harvest." Harvest. Just as Anlu Prefecture is about to usher in a new Zhizhou, if the treasury deficit needs to be filled at that time... I'm afraid it will make things worse."

Zhu Hao closed his eyes and meditated.

Tang Yin sighed, and said: "Actually, peace talks are the most detrimental to me. The thieves are likely to offer conditions, asking the Xingwang Mansion to hand me over. I don't know what will happen at that time... You should watch the road carefully and guide the coachman at any time. Don’t know where to go.”

Then neither of them spoke anymore.

When we arrived at the place, it was an open space on the river beach at the end of the street where Zhu Hao's laboratory was located.

Zhu Hao took Tang Yin into the laboratory, and took out two iron boxes the size of palms side by side. It looked very light, but Zhu Hao was very careful. Tang Yin urged Zhu Hao to go faster, but Zhu Hao didn't change his footing. Frequency of.

Seeing Zhu Hao and Tang Yin walking slowly, Luo An asked curiously, "What is this?"

Zhu Hao said: "Let's go to the open space first, you'd better stay away, otherwise something might happen..."

"Haha."

Tang Yin laughed heartily, "Zhu Hao, is it filled with gunpowder? Such a small amount, I don't think anything will happen."

The guards of the Imperial Guard Department who followed Luo An were also laughing.

Gunpowder is not uncommon in this era. Both Taizu and Chengzu rely on firearms to rule the world and are invincible. In the eyes of these guards, the amount of gunpowder that Zhu Hao puts out is at most a large two Kick the foot, and it will be over with a "boom" deflagration.

Zhu Hao didn't explain much, and directly put the iron box on a raised mound in the middle of the open space on the river beach, looked around, and took out the lead wire after making sure that it was far enough away from the crowd.

Leads rolled and rolled...

Zhu Hao tried his best to be careful, don't research something, and put himself into it when doing experiments, it would not be fun.

A group of people hid behind a dirt slope, about [-] meters away from the explosion point.

Zhu Hao leaned over to light the fuse, and immediately ran to the back of the slope, and then a group of people watched the fuse approach the iron box little by little as if they were watching.

Tang Yin frowned: "Zhu Hao, what are you doing? Do you know that this bit of gunpowder can't do anything at all, you..."

"Shh."

Zhu Hao made a "shut up" gesture, which means don't talk nonsense, look down first before talking.

What Zhu Hao detonated in front was the nitroglycerin he extracted from nitric acid and animal and vegetable oils. Zhu Hao had already passed the test before and completely extracted concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid. He had no intention of researching any "weapons of mass destruction" , just to make technical reserves for the production of special drugs for treating heart disease.

But it just so happens that thieves are invading, so you can get some out...to make things happen, it's still possible.

……

……

A group of people waited bored.

Someone wanted to stand up and walk to the mound for a closer look, but was called back by Tang Yin.

Although Tang Yin didn't understand the power of the thing that Zhu Hao took out, but judging by Zhu Hao's cautious appearance, if it was just a handful of gunpowder inside, it would be meaningless at all, setting off a big firecracker would cause so many things?
The lead wire burned to the gap of the iron box little by little.

Because of its instability, nitroglycerin can be detonated by violent impact and heating. Zhu Hao simplified the complexity and built three glass bottles filled with nitroglycerin, which were filled with black powder as the priming charge.

When everyone looked over with wide eyes, Zhu Hao shrank his head to the bottom of the slope.

"boom……"

There was a loud noise, and the ground trembled violently with the loud noise. Even though Tang Yin and several guards who were watching were more than [-] meters away from the detonation point, the huge vibration still shook everyone to the ground.

Still in shock!

After several people looked over again, they found that the small raised mound at the explosion point had disappeared, and instead a pit more than ten feet wide and half a meter deep appeared.

"This...what's the matter?"

Luo An was terrified, and looked at Zhu Hao with puzzled eyes.

At this time, a group of people came from a distance. They heard a huge explosion and thought that a meteorite from the sky had fallen to the ground. In shock, they came straight to the river beach with kitchen knives, tongs, and poles.

"Go away, the government is doing business!"

A guard stood up to maintain order, but he did not dare to approach the river beach for fear of subsequent explosions.

These people who heard the news all lived in the nearby folk courtyard. They didn't witness the explosion with their own eyes. Naturally, they were fearless. Strange, why is there such a big hole in this open space?

Why is the smoke transpiring inside, but there is no such thing as meteorite?
Zhu Hao came out from behind the slope, and Tang Yin and others followed to check the scene.

Seeing a large number of people in official uniforms appear, the crowd dispersed suddenly.

Tang Yin glanced into the pit and asked, "Zhu Hao, did you prepare gunpowder here in advance? Or..."

Zhu Hao said: "This is what I want to show sir, because it is too powerful, and it is not easy to store after it is produced, so I can only make it and use it now, and I am just a humble citizen, if I don't have the permission of Prince Xing, I dare not use it This is such a fierce thing, so I asked the gentleman to ask King Xing to see if it can be used to suppress bandits."

Luo An looked shocked: "How can there be such a great power?"

Zhu Hao smiled.

The equivalent of black powder is only 0.16, while that of nitroglycerin is 1.5, a difference of ten times, and because the detonation speed of nitroglycerin is higher, it does not mean that ten parts of black powder can be equivalent to one part of nitroglycerin. Explosives... If used for fixed-point blasting, it is enough to open mountains and split roads.

Bombing up other camps, causing riots and even camp roars, is nothing to worry about.
