This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 503

"What movement?" Li Er heard this loud noise even in the Hall of Liangyi.

Even though he is an emperor, for people of this era, there are still some lingering fears about this kind of god-like power.

He is not afraid of this power, but angry that this power cannot be controlled by him.

Duan Lun was also a little startled, the movement was really big!
At this moment, a thick black smoke floated up.

"It seems to be the direction of the prisoner?" A servant said in a low voice.

"Tell it." Li Er heard the words, and immediately ordered, "Tell Yan Lide, let's see what the hell they are doing."

After finishing speaking, Li Er looked at Duan Lun again and asked, "Do you know what's going on?"

Duan Lun shook his head, he knew what a fart, but seeing this movement, he always had a bad feeling.

After a while, Yan Lide ran over excitedly, he really did.

"What are you general supervisors doing? Look at the billowing black smoke. Could it be that you want to burn down the city of Chang'an?" Li Er wasn't angry at first, but seeing Yan Lide's embarrassing face, he didn't scold him at all. I always feel sorry for myself.

Yan Lide didn't take it seriously at all, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, it's done, it's done!"

"Will it work or not?" Li Er was a little puzzled, but looked forward to seeing Yan Lide's expression.

"Your Majesty." Yan Lide said hastily, "Did you hear that loud noise just now? That's a new type of ordnance that I just developed as a general supervisor!
In the future, it will definitely be a great weapon to control the battlefield! "

"New type of ordnance?" Hearing these four words, Li Er's eyes lit up immediately, "My new type of ordnance from Tang Dynasty?"

"Exactly!" Yan Lide said, "Actually, we have been researching for a long time before, but we have not made a breakthrough. This time, by chance, we finally achieved something.

Your Majesty, do you want to go and see? "

He is also excited!

"Go, go to the general prison." Li Er heard this, and immediately waved his hand and was ready to go to the general prison.

On the side, Duan Lun immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't wait any longer, that thing is too dangerous."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The servant on the side also said, "How about letting General Yan take him to a safe place?"

Are you kidding, just the movement, how dare they let Li Er go to prison, if this happens again, then they will all die.

Yan Lide is also a smart person, upon seeing this, he immediately said: "It's my minister who is being rude, so I'll ask someone to fetch some right away. Don't worry, Your Majesty, the small measurement is not moving much."

Li Er nodded, but didn't say much. As the saying goes, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, and he won't put himself in danger either.

This is not only responsible for himself, but also for Datang.

Soon, Yan Lide arranged for people to go back to the prison to pick up the things.

"Tell me, what is it, how can it be so powerful?" Li Er asked curiously.

"Return to Your Majesty." Yan Lide said, "Let's call it black powder, but it was actually inspired by Daming's incendiary bombs.

Didn't General Niu get back some incendiary bombs at that time?Those things are so powerful, and they can explode with a bang, Weichen thought, don't those alchemists in Tang Dynasty just explode once in a while?

So Weichen wondered if he could try from this, but there was no progress at first.

But later Weichen heard that Daoist Sun was also obsessed with alchemy for a while back then, and I heard that he had many alchemy formulas in his hand...

No, this time Weichen went to the Daming court and asked Sun Daochang to ask for Dan Fang. "

"Sun Simiao's prescription?" Li Er was a little surprised, "You asked him for it, and he gave it to you?"

"Hey... Daozhang Sun, although he is a medical idiot, he is definitely an enlightened medical idiot. As long as he can cure diseases and save lives, he will definitely not refuse.

Moreover, how about a coincidence, Daoist Sun's prescription played a big role in today's movement. "

Yan Lide said that Sun Simiao is a medical idiot, but why isn't he obsessed with engineering?
Of course, while he is obsessed with engineering, he is not a fool. Li Er immediately understood what he said.

At the beginning, Yan Lide said that he would go to Riyue Mountain to exchange and study with the craftsmen of Daming, maybe it was all a cover, the main purpose was still for Sun Simiao's prescription.

Thinking of this, Li Er shook his head speechlessly, and said, "After a long time, I still pick up people's teeth."

"You can't say that." Yan Lide said immediately, "Although the black powder we researched was indeed based on Daoist Sun's prescription, his prescription contains two taels of sulfur, two taels of nitrate, and three and a half cents of saponin. ... (This prescription is true, and it is indeed from Sun Simiao, but you understand.)
We tried this recipe, but it didn’t work at all. In the end, we communicated with many people and tried many things. Finally, we replaced saponins with aristolochia to achieve this effect.

As far as this process is concerned, it is not a day or two to toss us.

However, it is still under further research, and it is hard to say what the final result will be. "

Yan Lide didn't know that he directly brought the history of gunpowder back by more than 100 years!
Of course, even without him, in more than 100 years, there will be a Taoist priest named Qing Xuzi who, when studying Sun Simiao's alchemy formula, replaced saponins with aristolochia, thus officially pushing black powder to the stage of world history. superior.

"Try first." Li Er didn't say much after hearing that.

But when he said this, the guards in the palace rushed towards him. It may be inappropriate to say that they rushed over, but to be precise, they were guarding in front of him.

Li Er didn't intentionally go to the front to show his heroism as a real man, but waited quietly behind.

Not long after, several craftsmen who were to be supervisors came over with a few earthen jars in their hands.

As soon as Li Er waved his hand, Yan Lide moved immediately.

I saw that he placed an earthen jar tens of meters away from Li Er, and then he pushed a wooden box to the door and put it upside down on the earthen jar. That was not enough for him, and he even found a box. The guard moved a stone and pressed it on top of the wooden box.

After finishing all this, he trotted over and said, "Your Majesty, start now?"

Li Er didn't speak, but looked at a soldier beside him, and the soldier immediately went out to check it knowingly, and then came back and nodded to Li Er.

"Then try it." Li Er said, "I want to see if your black powder can really become a sharp weapon on the battlefield!"

When Yan Lide heard this, he immediately waved his hand, and with the cooperation of the two of them, the general overseer and craftsman who was waiting over there immediately lifted the box, and threw a lighted torch into it.

After doing all this, the three of them turned around and ran away!

It felt like there was a ghost chasing after him.

After finding a bunker, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Protect the head with both hands!" Yan Lide also yelled when he saw this, and all the soldiers also subconsciously protected Li Er firmly behind their backs, and at the same time protected their vitals.

Even Duan Lun is the same.

But even though everyone was trying their best to protect themselves, those little eyes couldn't stop looking at the wooden box.

Time passed by every minute and every second, but the explosion they expected did not happen.

"How long will it take for this explosion?" Li Er asked with some doubts.

Yan Lide didn't speak, he was dumbfounded.

It shouldn't be, according to their previous tests, it should explode now!

After another minute or two, all the soldiers were even hesitating whether to give up their defense.

"Shouldn't it?" Yan Lide put down his hand, and said to the few people who were in charge of lighting the fire just now with a puzzled expression, "Are you sure you lit it?"

The craftsman shook his head and said: "I was sure at first, but now, I'm not sure anymore."

"Old man, go and have a look." Yan Lide still didn't give up, but this also showed that he was really brave, if he exploded as soon as he walked over, such a close distance would definitely be enough for him to drink a pot.

"I'll go." The craftsman immediately said, "I ordered it. In case of any accident, I ask the general to take care of my wife and children."

Saying that, the craftsman walked out immediately.

It's not that he was really brave, but that he was responsible for lighting the fire. If Yan Lide was really killed afterward, it would be no wonder that Li Er could let him go.

The point is, it may also implicate his wife and children, so he simply volunteered to solve his own problems, and at least he gained a good reputation.

Seeing them like this, Li Er immediately signaled to the soldiers around him, who immediately stepped forward and said, "Get out of the way, I'll come."

As he spoke, he carried a horse spear and walked straight over.

Without any hesitation at all, he directly opened the wooden box with a spear. After checking it, the soldier came back and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the fire has gone out."

"Not lit?" Yan Lide was a little puzzled when he heard this.

This is the embodiment of illiteracy. In later generations, elementary school students can tell him the reason, but at this moment, the top craftsman of the Tang Dynasty is completely puzzled. (This paragraph is definitely not for the water word count!)
"In this way, dig a hole in that wooden box and make sure to ignite it." Yan Lide continued, "Your Majesty, give me another chance."

Li Er nodded, but didn't say much.

Mistakes are normal.

Soon, the second time started, and this time no one needed to cooperate. The craftsman was blowing hard with the torch, and even blew out the open flame, and then he threw it in according to the hole. In an instant, he ran away.

"Protect the vital points!" Yan Lide subconsciously shouted.

Although everyone still did it, but because of the first oolong, everyone didn't take it seriously this time. Although the action was done, they didn't have any expectations in their hearts.

boom!
At this moment, there was a loud noise that was enough to shock their hearts and souls.

The stone that was originally pressed on the wooden box flew up, and it happened that it hit the craftsman who hadn't run to the bunker, which directly caused the craftsman to step on it and fell hard.

And the wooden box was blown to pieces, and the sawdust scattered like shrapnel.

As for the location of the explosion, a thick black smoke also rose at this moment, covering the explosion point under the thick smoke.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

Li Er even stood up straight, pushed away the soldiers who stood in front of him, and walked out excitedly.

"Sharp weapon, it really is a sharp weapon of war!"

He wasn't scared at all, on the contrary, he was a little bit excited.

Yan Lide ran out quickly before Li Er walked out. He thought the craftsman had been injured, but when he got closer, he found that it was okay, it was just a fall.

"Your Majesty, we can't go any further." Seeing that Li Er was still walking forward, Duan Lun and a group of guards stopped him.

Li Er waved his hand and said: "It's okay, you see that General Yan also ran out, since he dared to run out, it means it's over."

Saying that, pushing away everyone, Li Er walked directly to Yan Lide's side: "How is he?"

Yan Lide, who was still squatting on the ground, immediately supported the craftsman to stand up together, and said: "Your Majesty, this kid is lucky, the stone flew over his head without hurting him!"

"Not bad, indeed good." Li Eryi said two things in succession, but he didn't know whether he meant the black powder was good, or Yan Lide or that craftsman was good.

But everyone knows that today's Li Er, Longyan Joy!
"How many people are involved in this matter of black powder?" Li Er asked immediately.

When Yan Lide heard it, he immediately understood: "Return to Your Majesty, a total of 51 people participated in the research of black powder."

Just as he was about to speak, Li Er suddenly stopped, thought for a while, and then said: "Take him back to rest first, and then write a detailed memorial to me about the black powder.

What's more, the supervisor will dispatch a group of people to be responsible for the research of black powder, and no matter what you need to study black powder, I can satisfy you!
In the future, the imperial court will give full support to the supervisor to study anything.

By the way, the 51 people who participated in the black powder research before, according to the contribution, you make a list one by one, I will reward you heavily. "

He is so happy today.

It's not just the excitement that black powder, a new weapon of war, brings to him, but also the excitement that he can control this power!
When Yan Lide heard the words, he immediately bowed and said, "My minister will make arrangements immediately."

He knew very well that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

After they left, Li Er immediately dispatched one of his own soldiers to serve as a prisoner with a military order.

From today onwards, Jiang Zuo Jian Jiang will be the most heavily guarded place in Datang except for a few places.

"General Zuo, do we really want to study this thing?" In the prison, a craftsman whispered, "This thing will definitely take the lives of countless people in the future. How is this different from killing people with our own hands?"

Yan Lide sighed, and said: "If we still want to make a difference, then we have to keep researching this black powder! How can we have both?"

He also didn't want to study these murderous sharp weapons, but he knew that what Li Er valued most now was the murderous sharp weapons, and he had no choice but to follow what he liked.

Otherwise, why do you think he would start planning this early?
Isn't it just for today?

The point is, he didn't give Li Er a satisfactory answer sheet, and Li Er wouldn't even give him a blank sheet of paper.

Opportunity, it has always been like this, always do something you don't want to do, and fight for yourself to do what you want to do.

It's just that he doesn't know that it is his idea that will completely change the form of war in human history for thousands of years. This process may be very long, but it may also be very short.

As for whether it is good or bad, how many people can tell?
Maybe some people think he is a hero, while others think he is a devil.

But in the end, he opened Pandora's box with his own hands...

(To explain, free, black gunpowder was first created in the Tang Dynasty, and Qingxuzi in the previous article was tossed out of Sun Simiao's alchemy. In other words, it appeared in the early years of Zhenguan, which is not against peace.)
