Jinyi champion

Chapter 314 My Controversy with Yang Ming
Wang Shouren was listening in, and realized that something was wrong.

Whenever he was asked before about the powerful gunpowder on the battlefield, Tang Yin first replied that it was just ordinary gunpowder with a large quantity, and he hesitated after being exposed by him. Now that Zhu Hao is here, how can Tang Yin answer the question?
Hmph, want to use a few words to perfuse me?
Is that easy?
Wang Shouren continued to ask: "Then I don't know what the formula of this gunpowder is? Since it came from Prince Xing's Mansion, Brother Bohu also dispatched the entire war, so you don't know about it?"

The question is very direct, and it belongs to the method of asking that one needle will surely see blood.

Both the Wangfu and the state government praised you Tang Yin for your role in this war, and said that you personally made the plan to attack the camp. It is obvious that both the Xingwangfu and the state government want to blame you. How dare you tell me Let me ask you three questions?

"This……"

Tang Yin didn't know how to answer, just like before, he hesitated and wanted to be sloppy.

Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Tang, I heard that a lot of ingredients were used at that time? For example, sulfur, charcoal, etc. were mixed together, and kerosene was added. It is said that it is a kind of black powder coming from the ground. Oil, it ignites when it sees a fire, and it is extremely violent. The combination of these things is very powerful.

"I also heard that this batch of gunpowder was made by mistake. I wanted to make a new batch afterwards, but accidents happened every time, and a large number of craftsmen were damaged. I don't know how to proceed...Is that so?"

Tang Yin immediately knew how to answer, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, that's true, Bo'an, it's not that I have to cover it up, it's really that I didn't do it myself, but the craftsmen of the palace had no intention of doing it. It’s also hard for them to make another batch.”

Speaking of this, Tang Yin felt relieved for a while.

Sure enough, it is useful to find this kid Zhu Hao, you see, as long as you find me a topic and give me a little guidance, I can climb out of the pit in an instant.

But look at Wang Bo'an's eyes... Hey, he clearly wants to tell me that if you climb out of this hole, the next hole has already been dug for you! ?

Wang Shouren frowned slightly and looked Zhu Hao up and down.

However, he did not question the answering methods of the old and the young, but continued to ask: "Na Bohu, since this kind of fierce gunpowder was made unintentionally, there should always be a rough formula... In addition, I want to know, How many people did the palace send to attack the camp at that time? It seems that the amount transported by one person can cause great chaos?"

"Ah... it seems... oops..."

Tang Yin was numb again.

What the hell is this?

Let me just say how much luck a person has, isn't it telling Wang Bo'an that this kind of gunpowder is extremely powerful?His insinuating way of questioning is quite ruthless.

"Mr. Tang, although you and I didn't go out of the city to fight at that time, I heard that there were quite a few people responsible for transporting gunpowder out of the city. There were at least thirty people, right? It was transported by carriage, and it was too dark at that time, so I didn’t see it clearly, so I don’t know if it’s true?”

Zhu Hao's words made Tang Yin's eyes light up.

It's still your kid who knows how to "avoid the important and take the light" when answering questions.

The blasting team from King Xing's Mansion is not only a few guards brought by Lu Song to attack the camp, but also people brought by Luo An to pretend to be a caravan. The number of those people is relatively large, as long as the proportion of personnel on both sides is deliberately not mentioned In other words, both groups of people went to attack the camp, and they carried heavy gunpowder in carriages, which was enough to cover up several questions raised by Wang Shouren.

clever!

"Indeed."

Tang Yin finally found the direction of the discussion, and nodded, "At that time, Lu Song and Luo An, the ceremonial guards of Xingwang's mansion, led no less than thirty people out of the city to attack the camp. They walked in different directions, because the coffin filled with gunpowder The volume is too large, so it has to be transported by horse-drawn carriage. Bo'an, it is difficult for me to answer some things because I am not a person who experienced them first-hand. Please forgive me if I was unclear before."

After speaking, Tang Yin felt refreshed all over, and Tang Yin almost wanted to drink two cups to celebrate.

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have shown up in the morning. After Zhu Hao left the examination room, I would go to see Wang Bo'an together. How could I have suffered all morning?

It seems that my decision yesterday was very wise, if I insisted on having Zhu Hao to accompany me, wouldn't it have a miraculous effect now?You said you Wang Bo'an, why didn't you come one day earlier?If you came to Anlu yesterday, with this kid as your company, I sent you away early in the morning, why did you make things difficult for me?
Wang Shouren frowned.

He figured it out, Tang Yin wasn't ignorant of the powerful gunpowder and the attack on the camp, but pretended to be ignorant because of his understanding and he didn't want to lie to his old friend, so he was at a loss. I don't know how to answer.

As for the child in front of him, he looked young, but he had a lot of experience in dealing with situations. Tang Yin was enlightened by a little mention, and found another way to answer his question.

What does this mean?
It shows that Prince Xing's Mansion never thought of telling the formula of the new gunpowder, and it would be useless to ask.

Wang Shouren said: "Bohu, you and I have known each other for a long time, and I will not hide many things from you... In fact, I have been inquiring about the situation of this kind of fierce gunpowder after reading the relevant battle reports... This thing is powerful and easy to carry. Ordinary gunpowder is comparable. Now Jiangxi is plagued by bandits, especially at the junction with Fujian and Guangdong.

"And the bandits' camps in the mountains are extremely strong. Taking advantage of the terrain, they are condescending. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The officers and soldiers often suffer heavy casualties when they attack, and they have to retreat. With the help of such sharp weapons, they may be able to break them with one blow.

"This is also to protect the peace of the people on one side. It involves the national economy and the people's livelihood. It is not for my own selfishness. I hope that Bohu will tell you the truth about our friendship for many years and avoiding the loss of life! I will be grateful!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Shouren got up and respectfully saluted Tang Yin.

Tang Yin hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, with a panicked expression, not knowing how to deal with this old friend.

Zhu Hao could see that although Tang Yin was still perfunctory at the moment, he was obviously persuaded by Wang Shouren's righteous words. The reason he gave was very good. He said that he wanted to use these sharp weapons to capture the bandits' stronghold, not for tricks. Take recipes for personal gain.

Tang Yin, who is deeply influenced by Confucianism, will inevitably think, why can't you, Zhu Hao, borrow the formula?Even if you say that this thing is too dangerous and easy to explode, but people are making it and using it now, as long as the production, storage, and transportation are done well, it won't cause great harm to yourself, right?
Zhu Hao stood up and said seriously, "Wang Zhongcheng, forgive me for being presumptuous. As far as the students know, the biggest source of robbery in Jiangxi is not the stability of the bandits' village, but the collusion between officials and bandits, and the exchange of information. Once the court has a plan to wipe out the bandits, it will The secrets were leaked in advance, and the bandits took refuge in the deep mountains and old forests in advance, without a trace... so that they failed to be suppressed repeatedly."

"what?"

Tang Yin didn't expect Zhu Hao to say such words in a neither humble nor overbearing manner at this time.

He quickly gave Zhu Hao a hand, blinked repeatedly, and signaled you not to talk nonsense.

It's okay for you kid to choke on me, what's the relationship between us?What kind of character am I, and I know the same as you?
But now you're yelling at Wang Shouren with your words. He's a local official who holds soldiers and horses in his hands. Aren't you asking yourself for trouble by saying this?
"Bo'an, Zhu Hao...can't talk, please forgive me."

Tang Yin quickly helped Zhu Hao make peace.

However, Wang Shouren paid more attention to it, and looked at Zhu Hao with fiery eyes: "Your name is Zhu Hao, and you are a child of Jin Yiwei Zhu Qianhu's family? You...how did you know these things?"

"Huh?" Tang Yin was dumbfounded again.

what's the situation?
It's understandable that Wang Shouren doesn't get angry with Zhu Hao. After all, with Wang Shouren's identity and status, it's absolutely impossible to get angry with a child, but what does he mean by that?
Could it be that the situation of robbery in Jiangxi was actually captured by Zhu Hao's words?Usually Zhu Hao has a lot of ideas, but they are all summed up based on known information and speculation about people's hearts. He has never been to southern Jiangxi, and he has never suppressed bandits. How could he treat the bandits in southern Jiangxi suffer from understanding?

Zhu Haodao: "The students didn't know it from the outside, but judged it based on the current situation. As far as the students know, the biggest disaster in Jiangxi is not the robbery, but..."

As he said that, Zhu Hao gave Tang Yin a meaningful look, as if saying that the biggest disaster was related to it.

Wang Shouren couldn't help but follow Zhu Hao's gaze and looked at Tang Yin, and immediately understood what Zhu Hao was referring to, that Tang Yin had painstakingly escaped from Prince Ning's Mansion under his control.

Prince Ning's Mansion stood there like a giant tree, covering countless ghosts and monsters.

The local bandits in Jiangxi got the Ning Palace to help, which means they have a big backer. The government is full of traitors who secretly communicated with the bandits. With this analysis, there is no need to go to Jiangxi to make a judgment... It is reasonable.

Zhu Hao said: "As for the matter of the explosive gunpowder, if students think about it, if Mr. Tang can tell the truth, he must have told it long ago. Obviously there is something hidden in it... probably because of the huge power of the thing, and it is not easy to control, it will cause a large number of people on our side. Casualties, such a dangerous thing can only be used once when there is no other choice. If it is a long-term plan, it is better to adopt a more entrusted method.

"The students believe that the way to eradicate the banditry in Jiangxi is to use the spies of the bandits rationally, use countermeasures, and spread some false rumors to make the bandits relax their vigilance, and then wipe them out with a thunderous force. The students are stupid, and the answers are superficial and careless. Don't take offense, Wang Zhongcheng."

With that said, Zhu Hao seriously saluted and admitted his mistake.

As a junior, he directly refuted Wang Shouren's words and even offered advice in person, which was very inconsistent with official rules.

But Zhu Hao knew that if Wang Shouren was really the kind of person who cared about every detail, he would not have achieved such a great achievement, and he would not be worthy of his admiration, let alone allow Tang Yin to approach him.

In fact, Wang Shouren is not that kind of pedantic and old-fashioned person. With his military, literary and philosophical attainments, he has already transcended the category of an ordinary person, and his knowledge of people is unparalleled in the world.When people hear your reasoning and know that you have no malicious intentions, how can they care about you like you?
When Wang Shouren turned his eyes to Zhu Hao again, his eyes were a little softer and more appreciative, obviously not as lively as when they first met.

Wang Shouren said: "Brother Bohu, Zhu Hao has extraordinary insights at a young age, no wonder you brought him to see me."
