Chapter 131
Those weapons, together with the purified gunpowder and the thunderbolts and firecrackers made of gunpowder awakened by Lin Baozhu, make people feel excited just thinking about it.Especially after it was made, His Royal Highness Prince Rui personally set up a team to experiment on the training ground.
Because it was on the site of the family, the weight of gunpowder and gravel was reduced a lot. Even so, a loud noise shocked the onlookers with dizziness, tinnitus and dark eyes.As for the bold six sons who were close, they couldn't help trembling their hands and feet at the moment, and they couldn't catch their breath for a while.It's not necessary to be shivering, but the ears are buzzing all the time, and I can't hear the words of others at all.
Looking at the ground again, within three feet, there are all mottled marks left by the explosion of gravel and gunpowder, and there is a huge hole in the middle. Among the crowd, how lethal it will be.
In the next half month, all craftsmen with innocent backgrounds in the county were summoned to work overtime overnight to make crossbows and trebuchets.Because the trebuchet has been improved by weapon-making craftsmen, the distance between the stone and the gunpowder can be thrown much longer, at least hundreds of feet away from the city wall.
With these unavailable weapons, even if the Xiongnu were lucky enough to get some single-shot crossbows and gunpowder, they could not compare with Da Zhou's advantage.
Of course, when the research and development of weapons was in full swing here to manufacture more weapons and equipment, His Highness Prince Rui did not forget to write a secret letter with his own hand and send the blueprints and letters to the capital as soon as possible.At the same time, Zhang Mandun, who was still unknown at first, also fell into the eyes of the emperor because of his exquisite drawings.Even in the reply letter, the Emperor bluntly said that if this person really has the ability to generalize, Prince Rui can reuse it when he sees the opportunity.
Having obtained the emperor's will, His Highness Prince Rui finally settled on a matter of concern.Zhang Mantun, he was extremely optimistic about this person in his early years, and he was born to be a fierce general.This point can be seen from the group of men in the cottage he trained.Later, his guess was indeed proved. The people who had been trained by Zhang Mandun were all strong people, although they were a bit gangsters.
Thinking of this, Prince Rui's gloomy complexion just now turned a lot better, the eldest and second child really thought that his father was in a coma, and dared to play tricks on the matter of food and grass, but he didn't know that their actions just happened to him. opportunity.Right now, no matter how taboo his father is, he still gave him a chance to install and promote his own people in the army.
The advisor Zhu Neng and another old man stroking the gray goatee at the side each showed joyful smiles after reading the secret decree handed over by Prince Rui.Looking at His Royal Highness Prince Rui with an unmoved expression, he was deeply moved.
Everyone said that His Royal Highness Prince Rui is a person who looks like a dragon and a phoenix, a person who looks like a breeze and a moon, if it is not for the emperor's order, he would like to live in leisure.But how did they know that this person with a natural and unrestrained nature is actually a person who really hides his secrets and unfathomable depths.Even people who disagree with him can talk and laugh happily. As long as they have talents and can use them for themselves, he doesn't care whether the other party is arrogant or restrained.
He was born with such a master who loves talents and cherishes talents, and can kill people invisible in the blink of an eye, making people afraid to guess his mind without authorization.
Such people are not good at laughing and playing, and they don't like to make jokes. They seem to be dispensable, but they are the most indispensable characters in the court.
The ancients said that nourishing things are silent, but this master has subtly increased the emperor's trust and dependence on him, and also made all the courtiers admire and value him?Even if those centrists have not expressed their attitude, if there is a real fight, there will probably not be a few who will defect.
Thinking of His Highness Prince Rui's control over the court, and the frequent secret letters with Prime Minister Zuo a few days ago, Zhu Neng and the old man did not dare to be presumptuous at all, and only respectfully congratulated in a low voice.
But at this time, everyone didn't know that Zhang Mandun was about to encounter another incident, and this incident would completely tear open the scabbed wound in his heart again.
Because the last batch of soldiers in the barracks was about to go to the battlefield, and they were going to play forward directly, it can be said that leaving this time would be a narrow escape.Even Zhang Mantun, who has become a lieutenant general and is valued, cannot avoid it.So His Royal Highness Prince Rui issued an early order that all people in Taoxi County will be allowed to leave for ten days.Ten days later, the whole battalion set off for the North Ridge area.
Just when Zhang Mandun entered the county town to buy some gifts for his wife, the six sons bumped him on the shoulder and motioned him to look at the dark alley not far away.
But I saw a man who looked like a dog, hugging a woman with a smile like a flower, wearing silk and holding an incense fan, her pretty appearance was very coquettish.Originally, Zhang Mandun hated this kind of people the most, but according to his nosy temperament, he would just frown when he saw it, and it would not be a big deal.
But when he saw the face of the sullen and swearing man clearly, he was very angry, especially when he saw clearly the woman who was humiliated by the man and was being pushed and pushed on the ground crying bitterly in the street, he was even more angry burn.
The six sons knew the right and wrong of their eldest brother's family. Seeing this situation, they couldn't help sighing, and said in a low voice, "That's Sister Yueniang? Why don't I go and have a look?"
Speaking of which, Zhang Yueniang has been missing for many years. I thought she disliked the poor and loved the rich. She was worried that her brother would be a bandit and ruin her reputation. Zhang Yueniang's life was really difficult.
After all, she is the eldest brother's biological sister, even if she felt resentment for the fact that the aunt's funeral did not come, but now speaking of it, this is the only relative who is really connected with the eldest brother's blood.If they can reconcile, the siblings will care about each other in the future, which is not bad.
Zhang Mantun pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking.In the end, when Zhang Yueniang's so-called talented man made a move again, he still couldn't hold back, strode forward and clenched his raised fist.
"Ah, oh, mother, who are you, you don't want to die, you dare to fight with me!" Zhang Yueniang's man is named Han Liuxu, and after he became a scholar a few years ago, he became very powerful.However, because of this idea, everyone looked up to Master Xiucai, and even the law allowed Xiucai to be three inches taller than others, so it can be regarded as being pampered and not suffering much.
However, after he passed the Xiucai examination, he kept looking for various excuses for not taking the examination because he was afraid of failing the examination again.And his mother, that is, Zhang Yueniang's mother-in-law is also a selfish mother-in-law. Seeing her son miss the opportunity to become a juren again and again, she will always catch Zhang Yueniang and scold her, saying that she is a broom star who beats her son.
Of course, as time went by, Han Liuxu really felt that the reason why he failed the exam and became an official was because of his family's ruined wife.From the beginning accusing her of giving birth to a daughter, which affected his luck, to later accusing her of being unvirtuous and delaying his exam time, and now beating and scolding at every disagreement, it is simply worse than a maid.
Of course, the reason why I hadn't encountered it before was that when I was still rare, the family moved to another country in order to avoid the evil star of Zhang Mantun.But now he came back only because he didn't have much money left in his hand, and because he heard that the Zhang family had money, so he came back after searching.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came back, before the mother and son of the Han family used Zhang Yueniang to extort money, Zhang Mantun met him in the street looking for flowers and asked Liu to beat and scold his wife.
Speaking of it, Zhang Yueniang has no backbone, and always feels that she is inferior to others after giving birth to a daughter. Not to mention that her mother-in-law and husband-in-law look down on the money-losing girl, even she herself often vents her anger and beats and scolds her.In addition, when she entered the Han family, her mother-in-law began to set rules, and she even had to wash her feet every night, so she was used to that kind of life.
It is said that poor people must have something to hate, this is true.But if Zhang Yueniang is a temperamental and conscientious person, how could she get to where she is today?
But in the end Zhang Mantun was not as cruel and heartless as she was. Although there was still resentment in his heart, he still couldn't bear to see her being humiliated like that.
Han Liuxu was originally a scholar, not to mention that he used to be a weak scholar who couldn't lift his hands or shoulders. He has been supported by his mother and daughter-in-law for so many years, and from time to time he still looks for a few fans outside to make fun of him. Romance, conceited to be a romantic/talented wit, and put on the airs of a wit, but the body is more empty than before.Just such a person, how can he stand up to Zhang Mandun's fierce face and force on his hand?
It took only two points of strength to get this full piece, and Han Liuxu yelled like a pig butcher just now, which made tears fly and beg for mercy.As for his integrity, his integrity has been honed over the years, otherwise he wouldn't have obviously lacked the guts and ability to blame a woman for failing to pass the exam.
When Zhang Yueniang first saw that someone stood up for her, and saw that her husband's face was distorted in pain, she couldn't see the original appearance at all, and she couldn't care less about crying immediately, and she ran over to break Zhang Mantun hands.Seeing that it didn't matter, she was stunned, and tears fell down like broken beads.
"Mantun." Although Han Liuxu kept calling her, swearing at her to tell her, a prodigal woman, to speak quickly, she still bit the bullet and said with a slightly reproachful tone, "Mantun, let go of you Brother-in-law, be careful to break his hand."
Zhang Mantun coldly glanced at Zhang Yueniang, who was staring at him eagerly, and pushed him staggeringly with a hard push.Sure enough, that Zhang Yueniang is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. Even though she was a good person earlier, she even changed her heart after marrying someone.
Now that she stands up for her and supports her, she can still say words of reproach.If you continue to manage it, you might become an endless enemy.
