Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 831
The second forty-fourth chapter of thunder and rolling wolf rushes

In order to survive for myself, in order to have the capital to save my life.Chen Ying decided to open Pandora's box.As for what monsters would be released after the magic box was opened, Chen Ying couldn't care less.

After all, the sky is big and the earth is big, and I and my family are the biggest in life.He is not alone anymore, he has a family, a wife, a woman and a child.In China's political environment, there is a specific law, that is, one emperor and one courtier. At that time, Wei Qing, the great general of Sima, became a general from a slave. However, with the collapse of the Weihuo Group, not only Wei Qing's family was unlucky, Even Lian Ren'an, Tian Ren, Su Jian, Gongsun He, etc. all did not die well.

There are tens of thousands of generals and schools under Chen Ying's command, and there are no less than hundreds of generals who can be counted as direct descendants. Once Chen Ying is finished, they will also be ransacked and exterminated, and they will die without a place to bury them.

After appeasing Li Xiuning, Chen Ying started to make gunpowder.The composition of gunpowder is a simple formula known to middle school students in later generations, and these things are not rare.

For example, the most important nitrate in gunpowder.Nitrate is a heat-clearing medicine used to relieve fire.Of course, it can also be used to treat epigastric swelling, food swelling, indigestion, edema, edema, breast swelling, amenorrhea, and constipation.

It can be said that it is an indispensable blind medicinal material in pharmacies.In addition to the use of Glauber's salt in pharmacies, nitrate is also used in general fur shops to tan the fur. The fur of any animal will become very hard once it dries, and the tanned fur will become white, soft, smooth and elastic.

Guo Luo's movements were very fast. On Chen Ying's side, a huge courtyard was called out at the position closest to the eastern Jieyu River in Chenjiabao, which was specially used for making gunpowder.

Just after the site was cleaned up, Guo Luo sent over 3000 catties of Glauber's salt in one go.Chen Ying asked people to pour the Glauber's salt into large buckets, and then add water, just like analyzing table salt, first submerge the Glauber's salt with water, and keep stirring until the Glauber's salt is completely dissolved, then filter to remove the residue, In the end, pure thenardite was obtained, but the amount of thenardite was less than two thousand catties of pure thenardite.

Thinking that the amount of impurities in these Glauber's salts was as high as one-third, Chen Ying couldn't help but secretly clicked his tongue. These Glauber's salts were not used to tan leather, but were directly transferred from Datang Boren Hospital. Most of them were medical salts, not oral , that is external application, so many impurities, in case one eats any good or bad, Chen Ying's cold sweat will come down.

He can make money and engage in monopoly operations, but he has never thought of earning black-hearted money, especially the money from Boren Hospital. Chen Ying immediately ordered: "Immediately stop using all Glauber's salt in all branches of Boren Hospital, and bring them all for analysis and purification. , All Glauber's salt that has not been purified will not be used in the future!"

Sulfur is naturally not pure sulfur, and there are many impurities.Relatively speaking, purifying sulfur is a lot more troublesome, but now that Chen Ying has a certain foundation, he can also borrow it.For example, a vessel for distilling alcohol.To purify saltpeter, it needs to be dissolved and analyzed, but to purify sulfur, it must be distilled.

Chen Ying had someone use a steelmaking crucible to pour sulfur into it, and then cover it with a cover for distilling alcohol. Under the cooling of the water flow, the sulfur vapor can be easily collected, and the sulfur vapor can be cooled by water to obtain pure sulfur.

In making these things, Chen Ying is actually just starting, and the rest of the work is done by people.Today, there are no fewer than 7000 craftsmen who rely on Chen Ying for food. Although these craftsmen don't understand what Chen Ying's real purpose is, they produce pure Glauber's salt and sulfur according to Chen Ying's request.

As for willow charcoal, it is even simpler.Chen Ying simply and rudely let a mill be vacated to grind willow charcoal. When the willow charcoal was ground into fine flour, it was then ground with fine radish (a sieving tool, which has now disappeared in common people's hands). life) to brush off the particles and get a fine charcoal powder.

The rest of the work is relatively simple.According to the classic golden formula (I can't go into details, or it will be bad luck), it becomes a new pile of pure black powder. Chen Ying asked someone to find egg whites, beat it into the powder, and put it in a sieve. After the incense stick time, it became small particles one by one. After passing through the sieve, all the particles that leaked out were rapeseed-sized particles. Only then was Chen Ying satisfied and started to make his own treasures.

Phosphorus pig iron is a disgusting thing. Although it is iron, it contains high phosphorus and is very brittle.However, several small iron ores in Chen Ying's hands are rich in phosphate iron ore. The mining cost of such iron ore is relatively high, and there is no price advantage at all.

Even when Li Yuan took back the iron and steel workshop in Chen Ying's hands, he didn't take back this tasteless iron ore, because this kind of iron can neither be used for tools nor forged weapons. It is said that iron is not much stronger than pottery. There is a thick ferrophosphorus, which can be crushed into pieces with a light touch of the hand.There are hard qigong performances in Jianghu, where people break steel plates with bare hands. In fact, most of them use phosphorus iron as props (except for real kung fu, which Lao Cheng has never seen).

Although ferrophosphorus is a chicken rib, the armor-piercing sheet used to make grenades is the best. As long as the thickness exceeds three to five millimeters, it will not be easily broken, but gunpowder can be easily exploded. Under the impact of gunpowder, the phosphorus iron flakes will form very deadly armor-piercing shrapnel.

In order to keep it secret, craftsmen do the work of purification and analysis, but when it comes to the actual proportioning, it is Chen Ying who operates it himself. To get these granular gunpowder, Chen Ying personally installs a phosphorus iron that looks like a melon grenade. shell.

Chen Ying used to play firecrackers by himself when he was a boy in the later generations. He was very familiar with this thing.

In this way, a hand beat ball weighing about one catty is ready.However, Qinglinli is not suitable to be used as a testing ground for hand beat balls.

Making ten grenade bombs in one breath, Chen Ying asked Guo Luo to take dozens of confidants, each with three horses, and headed straight to the Changnien Plain in the southeast of the Jieyu River.

In the later generations, the Changyan Plain has turned into a magnificent fertile field, but now it is still a deserted wasteland, and Chen Ying is not worried about being discovered by others.

Guo Luo didn't see the preparation, and didn't know what was inside, but he was very confident in Chen Ying's medicinal powder, because he saw how to purify those materials, and every method was miraculous.

Guo Luo and the others galloped on their horses, and after more than two hours, they finally arrived at Changnian Plain.

Chen Ying asked Guo Luo to send people to disperse. After confirming that there were no people in the area, Chen Ying started to light the torches. When the sound sounded, Chen Ying casually threw the grenade towards a mulberry tree with a diameter of more than one foot more than thirty steps away.

"Boom..." The mulberry tree became pitch black, and four or five pieces of bark were blown off the entire tree.

The dozens of horses around Chen Ying were frightened by the loud noise, neighing and struggling. If they were not tied to the big tree, the horses might break free and run away. Come to yourself.

Chen Ying walked to the big tree and observed the power of the explosion. He found that the tree was covered with more than a dozen bullet holes.

Chen Ying saw a rock weighing more than a hundred kilograms, lit the fuze and threw the grenade under the rock, turned around and ran away.

Seeing that Guo Luo was still dumbfounded on the spot, Chen Ying hurriedly dragged Guo Luo to a distance.

With a loud bang, the stone weighing more than a hundred kilograms turned into pieces of gravel, and the largest piece weighed only a dozen kilograms.

At this time, Chen Ying's personal guards heard the news and surrounded Chen Ying nervously.

At this time, Guo Luo slowly came back to his senses, and said dumbfounded: "My lord... this... this..."

"This is the capital I prepared to save my life!" Chen Ying looked at the guards around him and said with a smile, "Do you think this is enough?"

Guo Luo said excitedly: "Enough, enough, as long as one is thrown into the enemy's formation, it will definitely explode a large piece!"

At this time, the power of gunpowder bombs can be greater than that of later generations.Because later generations have adapted to the form of hot weapon warfare, the infantry is no longer in a dense formation during the attack, and it will definitely not be like in movies and TV dramas, where a grenade can kill a large area.

In fact, during the attack of the three-three system, the distance between each soldier is at least eight meters, usually more than ten meters. A three-person combat team has a combat area of ​​more than one hundred square meters, even if it is a six-seven-style wooden handle bomb, the killing radius is only eight meters, and the coverage area is only [-] square meters. In actual combat, there is almost no situation where a single combat team can be reimbursed, let alone a dozen people.

But it is different at this time, because with the Phalanx, at least one team must stand within a hundred square meters.

Guo Luo said excitedly: "Master, with this weapon, we can enter the palace at any time!"

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "Grenades are not a panacea. Of course, I won't use them lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. Once I use them, I will die!"

Speaking of this, Chen responded to Guo Luo: "When our people arrive in Chang'an, we will immediately transfer 500 people to form a grenadier battalion. A battalion of 500 people will secretly practice the technique of bombing. We must form combat effectiveness in the fastest time! "

Guo Luo said: "I am willing to die for the Lord!"

Chen Ying was not satisfied with his response, he ignited the fuzes of the remaining eight grenades one after another, and threw them on the Changyanyuan. For a while, the sky thundered on the Changyanyuan, and the wolves ran.

Chen Ying laughed loudly, turned around and returned to Qinglin.

By the time Chen Ying returned to Qinglin, it was already late at night.

Just as Chen Ying entered, He Yue'er said anxiously, "Chen Lang, the princess is ill!"

Chen Ying was taken aback, Li Xiuning's physical fitness has always been good, how could he get sick?

Chen Ying felt anxious and asked, "When did it happen?"

He Yue'er said anxiously: "Just after the princess came back from Chang'an City, the princess didn't let the imperial doctor see her. Just half an hour ago, she coughed up blood..."

Hearing this, Chen Ji rushed to the bedroom.

In history, Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang made great contributions to the world and staged a legend that women do not give up to men. However, the cause of her death has not been found in the history books.Neither the "New Tang Book" nor the "Old Tang Book" recorded the cause of her death. It is said that Li Xiuning did not have any hidden diseases, nor did she have any hereditary diseases. Pen.The reason why this sum was recorded was mainly because her funeral was different, and she was buried with military ceremonies.

"The front and rear Yubao advocated, Daren, Huizhu, Banjian 40 people, and tigers and armored soldiers."At that time, the ceremonial officer suggested that the use of advocacy for women's burial was inconsistent with the ancient etiquette system. Li Yuan retorted him, "Advocacy is military music. In the past, Princess Pingyang always went to the battlefield in person, took the lead, beat drums and gold, and advised military affairs. From ancient times to the present, there has never been such a thing. A woman? Is there anything wrong with burying the princess with a military ceremony?" So she made an exception and buried Princess Pingyang with a military ceremony.

When Chen Ying thought of this, his heart ached like a knife. Could it be that Li Xiuning was worried that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin would fight each other because he contradicted Li Yuan? passed away?
……

Surrounded by four stories high and five stories apart, the Chenjiabao building complex is majestic and magnificent. Especially at night, a lamp is lit in each tile on the eaves, and the candles are shining brightly. Looking from a distance, it looks like a golden flying dragon. Soaring in the misty night sky.

From the main entrance to the backyard, one needs to go through seven courtyards and walk more than [-] steps along the corridor. Chen Ying walks like flying, and almost knocks down the maids who pass by.Although Chen Ying was fast, He Yue'er was even faster.

Seeing Chen Ying rushing towards the backyard, He Yue'er put away her skirt, jumped onto the high platform, moved up and down between the eaves, and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

He Yue'er came from behind and took a step forward to enter the bedroom.

At this moment, Li Xiuning was lying on the bed, coughing loudly.

He Yue'er pushed the door open and went in, "Princess, Chen Lang has returned!"

Li Xiuning frowned and said, "Go and tell him, I'm not feeling well, so I can't see you today!"

A maid hurried out of the house to stop Chen Ying.

But it was too late, Chen Ying came to the corridor outside the bedroom, and asked the maid, "How is the princess?"

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not very good, the princess hasn't eaten for a day, and the imperial doctor prescribed some medicine, but she doesn't take it..."

Chen should sigh: "I'll go in and see the princess!"

The maid stood in front of Chen Ying and said, "His Royal Highness told me that she is not feeling well, please come back, son-in-law!"

Chen Ying's face turned cold: "Get out of the way!"

The maid remained motionless.

Chen Ying was anxious, and reached out to push the maid. The maid's foot seemed to have grown roots, and she couldn't move it. Chen Ying frowned and tried again, but it still didn't move.

Chen Ying said: "Get out of the way!"

The maid bowed her head in silence.

Chen Ying turned around and yelled at Ashina Simo, "Ashina Simo, this maid is given to you as a wife!"

Ashina Simo laughed loudly and said, "Thank you Lord for your generous gift!"

The maid turned pale with fright, Chen Ying pushed the door open and entered.

Looking at Li Xiuning, he said, "San Niang, why are you bothering?"

Li Xiuning smiled wryly, "Chen Lang, I just feel uncomfortable!"

Chen Ying walked to Li Xiuning's side, put his arms around her shoulders, and said in relief, "It's okay, I'm the one to take care of everything!"

When Li Xiuning heard this, her mouth opened and closed, her eyes were like broken pearls: "Chen Lang, Nunu is so miserable!"

In fact, Chen Ying hated seeing a woman cry the most, let alone his own woman crying.

Chen Ying sighed and said: "To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell is needed. It seems that we must have a good talk with King Qin and the crown prince!"

PS: Yesterday I owed a chapter, today is a [-]-word chapter. By the way, I would like to recommend that the protagonist of my other book "The Great Wei Martial God" possesses the prince of Wei Guo, and fights for hegemony with blood!
