I have a cornucopia

Chapter 10 Copycat Tokyo Happy Bomb
  Yang Feng and his party quickly completed the search for sucrose and sulfur in Rizhao County. They rested overnight and headed straight to Juzhou the next morning. However, the distance was too long and their packhorses were carrying heavy supplies, so they entered Juzhou only after dark. Jiulipo in the border area.

There were not many refugees along the way.

Obviously the Qing army has not gone north to Juzhou, otherwise the place would be crowded with refugees today.

But it is also possible to hide directly in the mountains.

Their journey was already considered a continuous mountainous area.

night.

"Urgent report from Mengzhi County.

Jianlu captured Cross Road the day before yesterday. Since all the local people fled and there was nothing to gain from looting, yesterday they had no choice but to divide their troops and go south to Ganyu. However, all the materials discarded on the battlefield were looted by the rebels. They only defeated Qingkou commander Miao Tianpei and Huandun Meng. The hometown of brothers is brave.

Fengsheng, what are you doing? "

Su Dunsheng looked at Yang Feng in bewilderment, who was holding an iron pot like a legendary witch.

The latter is constantly stirring up the water inside.

Moreover, the water has already boiled and is constantly steaming out.

The boiling water inside was very viscous, obviously not ordinary water.

"What do these people do?"

Yang Feng said casually while stirring things up.

"The Meng brothers are powerful men in Huandun. This time the Jianlu invaded, they recruited local braves to protect themselves. When they learned that the Jianlu were defeated and abandoned countless materials, they thought there was something to be gained, so they rushed to the battlefield with their men overnight to plunder. Those women and property. The same goes for Miao Tianpei. He was stationed at Qingkou. When Jianlu attacked Ganyu, he took his people to the sea to hide. After Jianlu passed by, he came ashore. When he learned that we had defeated Jianlu, he In addition, he learned that the Jianlu had abandoned numerous supplies and women, so he led his subordinates and the local villagers of Qingkou to bravely go north. However, the battlefield had been robbed by Commander Hu and others, and there was not much left, so they were delayed for a long time. , happened to bump into Jianlu who was going south to find more grain and livestock for the army, but it happened that Jianlu vented his anger."

Su Dunsheng said happily.

"Ugh, that's terrible."

Yang Feng said with a bit of gloating.

"What are you boiling sugar for?"

Su Dunsheng looked at the syrup he had boiled.

It was indeed syrup, and he could already smell the sweetness in the air, but it wasn't just sweet, there seemed to be something else.

Yang Feng didn't answer him, but used a stirring stick to pick up a very sticky piece, then watched it slowly fall back into the pot, and determined the amount of moisture in it based on the bubble content. Then he picked up the pot and ran out without hesitation. , put this thing directly in the cold winter air, quickly took out a bag of sulfur powder, poured it in, and stirred it wildly. Before Su Dunsheng could react, he took out a ceramic grenade commonly used by the Ming army, put it into the pot, stuck it with a wooden stick and kept rotating it in the syrup, using cold air to cool the syrup quickly and finally turned it into a huge lollipop.

Then I admired it intoxicatedly.

Then he went back to the house and picked up a half-burned piece of firewood. Su Dunsheng was at a loss, and with a malicious and evil smile, he threw the firewood into the pot...

"boom!"

Flames shot straight into the sky instantly.

And it's not an ordinary flame, just like the flame after being ignited by gunpowder. Because it is bound by the mouth of the pot, it has been jumping up to a height of more than half a foot.

Su Dunsheng was so frightened that he screamed, then threw his head to the side.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Yang Feng stood next to the flames like a successful villain, laughing ferociously in the firelight.

But then he woke up and quickly threw the lollipop into the snow in front of him.

The flames in the pot continued to burn, and soon the pot even burned red, and the thick smoke spread crazily outward in a way that seemed like the arrival of a demon. When Yang Daxun and others ran out in panic, only Yang Feng could be seen. A faint figure inside. Fortunately, there were only some remnants in the pot. Soon the flames became smaller and gradually extinguished, and Yang Feng also reappeared. Under the astonished eyes of Yang Daxun and others, he lifted poor Su Dunsheng from the ground and let him stand firm. , then went to get the lollipop back.

"Let's go out and try our infinite karma fire."

Yang Feng said with a serious face.

Then walked straight outside.

Su Dunsheng finally woke up and followed cautiously with Yang Daxun and others. They walked all the way to a pond outside, with dozens of small trees beside it.

Yang Feng stopped, took his lollipop and thought for a moment. He decided to find a longer stick and stick it on it. Then he waved to a soldier and said a few words, and the latter quickly found a stick to light it. , Yang Feng made a throwing gesture, and the soldier quickly put the fire on the lollipop. The lollipop turned into a ball of blazing flames almost as soon as the flames touched it. It was thrown out by Yang Feng at the same time, but before it landed in the woods, it exploded with the grenade inside and turned into a rocket flying all over the sky. The fire rain fell. All the places touched by the fire rain were burning so fiercely that the trees, grass on the ground, and even stones were burning, and the small forest turned into a sea of ​​​​fire almost in the blink of an eye.

"Why do stones burn?"

Su Dunsheng looked at the stone in horror.

Flames shot out from above and thick smoke billowed.

"That's not a stone, but a large piece of sticky sugar. Sugar will burn, and it will still burn very violently. Syrup is also sticky. It will stick wherever it lands. Imagine it sticking to Jianlu's cloth armor. What will happen?

Not to mention cloth armor, even if it sticks to iron armor, it will burn until it burns out.     If it sticks to the skin, it will burn the skin and the meat inside. "

Yang Feng said.

This is a copycat version of Tokyo Happy Bomb.

White sugar is not easy to ignite. If you get a grenade and wrap it in a sugar ball, it will explode at most. However, saltpeter can catch fire with just a spark. Adding sulfur makes it easier, and it burns extremely violently. Middle Eastern resisters have said that it is good for them. .

But of course he wouldn't make such a thing directly. This thing is for soldiers. The soldiers panicked and asked them to light it before throwing it. They couldn't tell where to throw it. The regular version should use the explosion of the grenade to ignite the candy ball, and The outside of the candy balls must also be wrapped with something to prevent accidental ignition, such as coating them with mud.

Although it can actually be poured into a weapon similar to a grenade to gain explosive power, the explosive power of this thing is not very strong. Although it can indeed explode, even if you are not careful during the cooking process, it will still explode, especially if it cannot be mixed and heated directly. That one is more likely to explode due to poor temperature control, so it is safer to use melt, but even so there is still a lot of water in it.

Still easy to explode.

But fortunately, it is winter now, and the low temperature of minus ten degrees will ensure safety.

In fact, it can’t be used even if it’s not winter. After all, the sugar will melt in the sun in summer.

"Let's go and continue cooking after we get to Juzhou. When Jianlu comes, we can roast Jianlu."

Yang Feng said.

As for the grove...

Pull him down after burning himself.

"The world was once peaceful and prosperous, but now the world is in chaos. Even scholars like us have to go into battle to kill the enemy. The world is so big that there is almost no room for a quiet desk. However, who is to blame for bringing the world to this point? ?”

Su Dunsheng said rather sadly

"Whose fault?

It's all the fault of those rich people in Jiangnan.

Our ancestors originally lived in the south of the Yangtze River, guarding the north for the country. Now the north is full of hunger and death, but the south of the Yangtze River is still singing and dancing, and we want money? Those wealthy people with millions of dollars in wealth want nothing but food? All the hoarders hate that they cannot use food prices to drain the wealth of the north. The Jianlu captured the Great Wall several times, and everything from the north to Shandong was in ruins. They killed mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere. Rogue bandits roamed Henan and Shaanxi. Now in Henan, ten houses were killed and nine empty houses were killed.

Jiangnan is still peaceful and prosperous.

How unfair! "

Yang Daxun sneered.

Indeed, from the perspective of a military household, it is difficult not to feel resentful of reality.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the military households in the north came from the south. Even if they were not from Jiangnan, they were descendants of the veterans who followed Zhu Yuanzhang in Huaixi. They were all from the Yang family and the Su family. The ancestors of the Hu family were Hu Hai, the Marquis of Dongchuan. They were from Dingyuan, and the ancestors of the Wang family were from Jinshan. , all moved from the south to the north, including those pro-military guards in the capital who were originally pro-military guards in Nanjing. Of course, it was nothing in the peaceful and prosperous times in the past, but now when famine and death are everywhere in the north, it is really hard not to compare it with the peaceful and prosperous times in the south. Resentful.

"Don't worry, it will be their turn soon."

Yang Feng said calmly.

Yang Daxun and Su Dunsheng did not speak.

Indeed, it was soon their turn.

Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had already entered Huguang, otherwise Shandong would not have even had no soldiers.

Not really.

During the bloody massacre of Shandong by the Qing army, no army from the imperial court actually came to defend Shandong. Theoretically, the person in charge of the war in Shandong was Fan Zhiwan, the supervisor, but he followed the Qing army and should be in the Dongchang area at the moment. Watching the Qing army massacre the city in Shandong from a distance. When the Qing army went south to Haizhou, the person responsible for blocking it should be Shi Kefa, the governor of water transport. His subordinates were mainly Liu Zhaoji and Shi Dewei. But the problem was that they were protecting Fengyang in the west, the important place of the Ming Dynasty's ancestors, and they were also protecting Jiangnan from rogue bandits.

Shandong people?

Is it important to have the ancestral tomb of the Ming Emperor?

Is it important to have the romance of the Gongun princes in Jiangnan?
  In addition, there are various armies in the west that originally fought with Li Zicheng in Henan, but they are now chasing Li Zicheng to prevent him from capturing Chengtian. Compared with Jingling, it is obvious that the people of Shandong are still behind.

In the end, when tens of thousands of Qing troops massacred Shandong, only the people of Shandong took care of themselves.

"I have said that people have to rely on themselves. You can't rely on anyone else. If you don't save yourself and imagine a savior falling from the sky, you deserve to die like this. What is the population of Shandong? No less than ten million, how many young people are there? Three million can be Yes, there are countless cities. You can get whatever you want, so why do you have to rely on others to save you? In fact, there are more young adults in Shandong than the entire population of Jianlu combined. As long as we work together, how can we not defeat them? "

Yang Feng said immediately.

"Having said that, is it just a concerted effort? I'm afraid don't even think about it."

Su Dunsheng said with a wry smile.

In this way, they returned to their residence, illuminated by the blazing flames behind them.
