The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

Chapter 64 The results are gratifying, I want to thank her!
Guard Huo Da stood in front to stop these two frantic people, "Young General, military advisor, my subordinates will go over and take a look first."

He can die, but the major general and military advisor cannot.

"They've all exploded. It's okay." Gongsun Lian ran over while Huo Da was stopping General Huo.

Huo Da didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This military advisor was really not afraid of death!

By the time Gongsun Lian ran up to them, the smoke had dissipated. There were ten sheep within a radius of ten meters, and most of them were lying on the ground.

Some of them were already dead, with their eyes wide open, as if they were dead.

Some had their legs broken by the explosion and were struggling and screaming; others had the iron nails and triangles inside pierced their bodies during the explosion...

Only two of them had minor injuries, and they were so scared that they hid not far away and shivered...

"Major General, we succeeded." Gongsun Lian was excited. After so many days of constant testing and wasting a lot of materials, he finally prepared gunpowder that was many times more powerful.

At this time, Major General Huo followed Huo Da and inspected it carefully. He was very excited and said, "Mr. Gongsun, this is about ten feet away from where it was thrown."

"Although it's not close, it's not far either. Facing the Qi soldiers who are very good at riding and shooting, except for sneak attacks, the front can only withstand the first wave of charges. We have to take advantage of the chaos and run away."

Gongsun Lian nodded when he heard this, "I also think the distance is a bit short. I can bring a few for self-defense, which will have unexpected effects. It is mainly used to defend the city. You can use a trebuchet to project this thing. This way You can throw it farther."

"But now we have a problem. When the trebuchets were being thrown, because of the long distance, some burned out the fuses in mid-air and exploded, and some went out while the fuses were still in the air..."

"In short, we have only achieved preliminary results now, and there are still many times when changes need to be made. But that's it. I think it can play a key role at the critical moment."

Major General Huo believed this deeply. He was born into a family of military generals. He was sensitive to the fact that this iron lump in his hand might change the entire way of war.

"With this thing, when the Qi Kingdom invades, I can take people out to surprise the Qi Kingdom soldiers, and I will be a little more confident."

After hearing this, Gongsun Lian laughed and said: "Our craftsmen accidentally prepared a kind of gunpowder that burns very fast and vigorously. If it can be thrown into the Qi State's camping place at night, the fire will soon spread."

"When it's dark and everyone is in panic, it's easy to cause the camp to roar and let them kill each other. This is the wonderful use of the new weapon."

General Huo was convinced, "That's what the military advisor said."

Originally, they were worried about possible border violations from the Qing Dynasty this year or next year, but now that they have a good solution, they finally have confidence and can sleep peacefully.

Gongsun Lian asked the people below to keep it safe.

Gongsun Lian looked at several old craftsmen and said with a smile: "This time the effect is good. The major general said that each person will be rewarded 50 taels of silver."

Old Man Zhang has been making firecrackers for generations. After he was suddenly caught in the middle of the night, he thought it was a kidnapping. The family had no money to ransom him, so he was dead this time.

Unexpectedly, it was not kidnapping, but participation in gunpowder research.In the past, he only studied how the firecrackers made of gunpowder would become louder and the fireworks more brilliant. Instead, he would deliberately avoid the danger and harm caused by gunpowder.

The content of current research is exactly the opposite. What is sought is danger and harm. The bigger the better.

Old man Zhang was very experienced, but he was unwilling to do it. After learning that the other party was Major General Huo and Mr. Gongsun, he also explained to them that Qi State might invade Dayan State.

Now that Dayan State has insufficient troops, it is possible to break the city.Old man Zhang suddenly changed his mind. He didn't want his hometown to be trampled by the iron hoof of Qi State, and he didn't want his family to be killed by Qi State people.

"Thank you, Mr. Gongsun, and thank you, Young General." Old Man Zhang was very happy. Not only did he get high wages here, but there was also a silver reward. "We have been out for a long time. When can we go home?"

Gongsun Lian smiled and then said: "It is suspected of being confidential. You can't leave now, but you can write letters to your family. In addition, there are still many problems with gunpowder, and we must continue to improve it."

Many people have rich experience, but not many ideas that break the rules.He wanted to thank Madam Li. In addition, he felt that it was necessary to chat with Madam Li. Maybe he could get unexpected ideas from Madam Li.

Old man Zhang was stunned, thinking about the power of gunpowder, he hesitated a little, and nodded, "Mr. Gongsun is right, such things must be kept secret. Once spread, I'm afraid there will be big trouble."

"We believe that the Major General and Mr. Gongsun will not harm our family, but others may not. Maybe they will arrest our family, coerce and induce them to reveal the formula, and finally kill us."

Old Man Zhang is the oldest and the most understanding of people and the world.

He immediately thought of the key to the matter and the consequences.

Others were very homesick and wanted to go home for a visit, but after hearing what Old Man Zhang said, they gave up.

There is a young man in his 20s named Tang. He is the third oldest child. Everyone calls him Tang San.

"Military advisor, my parents left early, and my wife and three children are the only ones at home. I miss them and worry about their bad life."

Gongsun Lian explained patiently, "Actually, I would like to suggest that you move here so that the Major General's people can protect you. This way, you can go home and visit during the holidays."

When Tang San heard this, his eyes lit up, "It would be best if we could move here, but I want my son to study, is that okay?"

Gongsun Lian nodded, "There is a private school in the village three miles away. There are people studying there in Lihua Village at the foot of the mountain. When the time comes, send your son there to study."

"In addition, we will build a house for your family. You can live here without worrying about danger."

"Thank you!" Everyone thanked them. They were just craftsmen originally, and their income was far less than what they make now.

Not only is he making more money now, but he is also highly regarded by the Major General and Mr. Gongsun, and his future is bright.

Even if they don't have freedom for the rest of their lives, they can still make their wives and children live a good life and study.If you can pass the examination and become famous, you will really be proud of your ancestors.

The arrangement of good wine and good food will allow these craftsmen to be happy and devote themselves more to research in the future.

Niu Dazhuang came over with a food box and said with a bright smile, "Military advisor, Madam Li is fine. When I got home, I made delicious food and sent it over."

Hearing this, Gongsun Lian's stomach growled, and then he remembered that he hadn't eaten properly for a long time.

"Major General, let's have dinner in the house." Gongsun Lian extended his hand to invite. The Major General had never eaten or drank, and his heart and eyes were full of gunpowder.

General Huo smiled and said, "Okay, Mrs. Li personally sent someone to deliver it. It must taste good."

The meat and vegetables were a little cold, so Niu Dazhuang asked him to steam them in a steamer for a while.

When white smoke comes out of the steamer, that overbearing fragrance also comes out.

Niu Dazhuang stared at the steamer eagerly and kept swallowing his saliva.

At this moment, more and more people gathered around the steamer, holding bowls and chopsticks, staring at the steamer eagerly.

Old man Zhang was among them and could not go home. The military advisor said that he would prepare wine and food for them. "Is this what the military advisor and the major general are rewarding us for?"

This smell is so overbearing and fragrant!
"This..." Niu Dazhuang was speechless. These people who study gunpowder are the "treasure eggs" of the major generals and military advisors. He couldn't afford to offend them. "They haven't been steamed yet, wait!"
