subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Zhu Wen selected dozens of well-educated and careful and prudent people in the army, and he planned to let them make firearms full-time.Explained to them the production method of gunpowder and the details that need attention in detail, and explained to them the use of gunpowder.

Before Zhu Wen finished speaking, one of the soldiers in his forties interrupted Zhu Wen's speech, and said humanely: "General Zhu, you are busy with official duties, so I don't bother you to explain these small things to us, I will explain them to you." They will, I have been playing with this since I was a child. Gunpowder is nothing, as long as you understand its function, it is actually not scary at all..."

These words coaxed Zhu Wen into a daze, "What...what's the matter? You have been playing this since you were a child?"

The man nodded and said: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have been wandering on the street since I can remember. Later, a puppet show troupe took me in, and I have been doing odd jobs there since then.

"When we performed puppet shows, we often used gunpowder to make smoke and flames to attract the audience's attention. I learned from them since I was a child. When I grew up, I was mainly responsible for the application of smoke and flames in the troupe. I know gunpowder very well. ..."

Zhu Wen smiled, and laughed very happily. I really didn't expect that this pick would pick out a treasure.But Zhu Wen didn't say it, he said calmly: "Then, how did you vote for the rebel army?"

The man showed grief and indignation, probably recalling the unbearable past, and said: "Three years ago when our theater troupe came to Chenzhou, a rich businessman invited us to perform at his residence. Who would have thought that rich businessman fell in love with our troupe leader?" Daughter, I want to take her as a concubine.

"The rich businessman is over 50 years old, and the daughter of our class leader is only 16 years old. Of course, the class leader disagrees. The rich businessman actually framed us for stealing things from the house, and said that we should either send us to the Yamen for questioning, or let the class leader's daughter Be him a concubine. The class leader knows that there is no reason to talk about it in the Yamen, and the official word has two mouths. How can he make decisions for us low-class people?

"The boss is angry. If we want to fight them desperately, we are all year-round running around. Who has no talent? At that time, we got into a fight with them, but there are a lot of guards in the rich businessman's house. We are not opponents. I just use gunpowder Burned their houses, and we fled in all directions while they were busy putting out the fire...

"Later I heard that General Huang had arrived in Henan, so I joined the rebel army. For three years, I have inquired everywhere about the whereabouts of our theater troupe, but there has been no news. I think they must be in danger..." After talking about his experience, he already I burst into tears.

Zhu Wen also sympathized with his experience. Zhu Wen patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's your name?"

The man said: "General, I don't know who my parents are, and I don't have a name. It was our class leader who gave me the name Wu Biao when he took me in."

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "Wu Biao, that's right, your class leader knows how to come up with names! Unlike me, my father Zhu Wujing has been studying all his life and named me Zhu Wen. It sounds like 'swine fever' '……hehe……"

The man couldn't help laughing while wiping his tears, and said, "Actually, my name wasn't Wu Biao at first. When our class leader took me in, he saw that I was thin and had a whole body of ribs, so he called me fatless, that is. Not a bit fat..."

After talking for so long, Zhu Wen felt a little thirsty and was drinking water. When he heard Wu Biao's words, he spewed out the water with a "poof". It turned out that he was such a "fatless".

After laughing for a long time, Zhu Wen held back his laughter, thinking that he should not delay the business, and asked Wu Biao, "Wu Biao, can you make firecrackers?"

Wu Biao said: "Of course, I have been doing it for more than ten years. I can do everything from firecrackers, firecrackers, and flamethrowers."

Zhu Wen held back the excitement in his heart, this is really a talent, he can do whatever he wants, but let's try his skills first, don't just talk but don't practice, what should we do?Zhu Wen said: "The Chinese New Year will be the day after tomorrow. In these two days, you should make some firecrackers and firecrackers first, so that the brothers and the people in the city will also have fun, and at least create some New Year's atmosphere. "

Wu Biao repeatedly agreed, "Don't worry, general, I will take care of Xiao."

Zhu Wen tried to ask: "Can you make fireworks?"

Wu Biao was stunned, and said: "If you want to use gunpowder to make smoke, I can do it, and I can make fire, but I haven't heard of the 'fireworks' you mentioned. Does it mean that the smoke released should be condensed into flowers? shape?"

Zhu Wen coughed, and said: "Forget I didn't say... Oh, by the way, Wu Biao, when you make firecrackers or something, let dozens of them learn from you. It's up to you."

When Wu Biao heard this, he felt happy, and said happily: "The young one will definitely live up to the general's trust."

After a busy day, Zhu Wen felt a little tired. He took a hot bath, changed into a set of clean clothes, and went to bed to meditate and practice the "Hunyuan Wuji Mind Method".After running for two weeks in a row, Zhu Wen felt exhausted and felt unspeakably comfortable. He felt like he was addicted to practicing this inner strength.

Zhu Wen's internal strength has advanced rapidly, but after all, it started too late, and it can only be said to be at the basic stage.Taoist internal skills emphasize refining essence to transform qi, refining qi to transform spirit, and refining spirit to return emptiness.Now Zhu Wen is still in the first stage, which is refining and transforming Qi, that is, absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and transforming it into internal force and storing it in the dantian.

If he reaches the second stage, it means that he has opened up the two lines of Ren and Du, and he can be regarded as a master in the arena.As for the third stage, Huang Chao hasn't reached that level so far, so Zhu Wen doesn't think about it. It is estimated that he may not be able to reach that level in this life.

Don't think about it, go to bed, tomorrow is New Year's Eve, it is serious to have a good New Year, Zhu Wen thought.

The next day, as soon as Zhu Wen opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in with snowflakes, and it was snowing.Everything is wrapped under the silver snow, and it is really beautiful.

This is the first New Year he has traveled back to ancient times, and it is also the first snow he has seen.People say that auspicious snow heralds a good year, but in this troubled world, what about a good year?Human life is worthless, the so-called good harvest may just be a wedding dress for others...

He thought of his wife and children more than 1000 years later. Are they also celebrating the New Year?It must be the Year of the Dragon now, right?He originally wanted to have another baby dragon with his wife in the Year of the Dragon, but he wondered if the two-day brief reunion would cause his wife to have a secret knot?Sigh... It's better not to have it. It's hard enough for her to be alone with a three-year-old son. If there is another one, how can she afford it...

The snow is getting bigger.

Suddenly Zhu Zhen's voice came from next to my ear: "Wu Biao, third brother is up, let's set off firecrackers!"

The bursts of firecrackers rang out, playing the New Year's movement, but Zhu Wen didn't have the slightest idea of ​​joy in his heart.In addition to missing his wife and children, he is more concerned about the war in the south. Shouldn't Wang Xianzhi take action?Qianfu five years, this is destined to be an uneasy year...

Why does the replacement of each dynasty have to be achieved through blood and killing?Since all this is inevitable, what is the purpose of what I do?Perhaps, just to survive, everyone has desires and struggles to survive better, but Zhu Wen is only seeking peace of mind.

Life is short, at most a hundred years, so what is the use of having more wealth and power?Isn't it a pile of loess in the end?
