Back to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Chapter 564 The Power of Black Powder
"I can't bear my Lingqi! I can't bear Yinglian! There are Shangxiang, Yanran, Dingxiang, Ruiyao, Xing'er, Zhu'er, and my three hundred beautiful female soldiers... No! I don't want to go back!!"

Yuan Yao was really worried that he would go back suddenly before becoming emperor.

Perhaps, this may be at the moment when Yizhou was recovered, perhaps, at the moment when his subordinates asked him to become emperor.

In the early morning, when Yuan Yao woke up with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, several concubines who were serving him laughed from time to time.

Yuan Yao guessed that they must have misunderstood, thinking that he was doing that kind of thing all night, but the fact is really not the case, last night Yuan Yao indeed summoned two beauties and had a good time, but really Didn't spend all night doing that! !

But these concubines are not the concubines from yesterday, if Yuan Yao explains it, it may become darker and darker.

One of the beautiful concubines, after helping Yuan Yao hang up his sword, asked with a smile on his face, "Master! The latest batch of bird's nest just arrived yesterday, do you want to stew some for you, when you come back... Make up for it?"

Yuan Yaozheng was full of depression and had no place to vent, so he deliberately showed an evil smile, reached out and patted his upturned buttocks, and found that the elasticity was good, so he teased: "Oh! Not bad, not bad!!...Of course I want it, but when the time comes, you have to be ready!! Remember to wash it for nothing, I will check it myself at night!!"

The concubine was so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head, Yuan Yao laughed heartily, and strode out of the room with great strides, leaving several pairs of fiery eyes behind her.

No matter what, we must upgrade the technology as soon as possible to realize the dream in our hearts.

"My lord! Should we go to the imperial palace first or the prime minister's mansion today?" Yang Wu asked Yuan Yao with his personal entourage.

"Go to the Taixue Society first, and make another arrangement if you have extra time!! I think Mr. Shui Jing must have made an important invention this time!" Yuan Yao said.

……

Taixue Society

"Yuan Gong! This old man has finally researched the black powder you want!!" Sima Hui held a small jar with excitement and handed it to Yuan Yao.

Yuan Yao was overjoyed immediately, took a quick look at the gunpowder can, and smelled it again, a familiar smell of gunpowder came out, reminding Yuan Yao of the firecrackers from his childhood.

A few months ago, Yuan Yao had already explained the matter of black powder to Sima Hui, but the damn thing is that Yuan Yao didn't remember the specific formula of black powder, he only knew that it was a mixture of charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, gunpowder had already begun to take shape, but because the ratio of the formula was not comparable, it was very lively when burned, but the danger was very limited. Usually it could only be used as fireworks and salutes during celebrations, but Yuan Yao was He knew the true power of gunpowder, so after the Taixue Society was established, he ordered Sima Hui to start improving the formula of gunpowder and develop the most powerful black gunpowder.

If you have real gunpowder, and then use gunpowder to invent some new weapons, such as artillery and muskets, then it will be easier to unify the whole world! !

In history, China was indeed the first to invent gunpowder, but later, after gunpowder was spread to foreign countries, it was used by foreigners to make guns and massacre Han people. This is really sad!
Looking at the black powder in his hand, Yuan Yao was filled with emotion and excited. Since Sima Hui could invite him, the power of the gunpowder must have reached the point where even Sima Hui was shocked.

"Mr. Sima!! Your efforts will save the lives of countless Han people!! With it, no one in the world will be able to stop the progress of the Han people!!" Yuan Yao praised loudly.

"Thank you, my lord, for your praise, but my lord, I also prepared a few experiments and invented a new weapon. Please move around and watch!" Sima Hui said excitedly.

Yuan Yao nodded, and a group of people came to a place belonging to the Taixue Society for various dangerous experiments.

On the field, there were a total of [-] students from the Taixue Society, divided into three teams, each standing in one place, as if they were waiting for Yuan Yao's arrival.

There is a mound of dirt in front of the first team of students, and it is not clear why.

The second team of students is quite special, five of them put their bows and arrows, and the other five are preparing.

The students in the third team seemed to be a little scared, and they were surrounding a small catapult, waiting for orders.

"Mr. Yuan, what is buried under that mound is black gunpowder, and it is connected by a fuse. As long as the fuse is ignited, the gunpowder will explode!" Sima Hui said.

Yuan Yao nodded happily. Although this scene is a bit weird, it is similar to the landmines of later generations. If used properly, it will cause great damage to the enemy if it is buried on the road that the enemy must pass through! !

"Light it up!" Sima Hui shouted at this moment.

Yuan Yao stepped back involuntarily, and when all the relatives saw Yuan Yao retreating, they also retreated a few steps and looked at each other.

"My lord! Is this black powder really so powerful?" Yang Wu asked puzzled.

"Of course! Otherwise, how could I..." Yuan Yao explained, but the words were not finished yet.

There was a loud bang of "bang", the sound shook the air, and then a strong charge rushed in, shaking Yuan Yao so hard that he couldn't hold back his feet, he took three steps back and finally stood still!
Looking at the followers, except for Yang Wu and a dozen others who were able to stand still, the rest were all overturned to the ground, looking very embarrassed.

Yuan Yao felt a buzzing in his ears, shook his head, recovered, and was about to get angry when he heard the roars of his followers.

"Sima Hui!!!! What's going on!!" Yang Wu shouted angrily.

"Shui Jing!! You dare to murder the lord!!!" Xu Ding's loud voice was almost louder than the sound of gunpowder explosion, which made Yuan Yao's ears buzz again.

"Sima De fuck!!!" Xia Houbo looked at the mud splashed all over his body, angrily pulled out a throwing knife, and wanted to find Sima Hui desperately! !

At this time, the other followers also jumped up from the ground one after another. Seeing that Yuan Yao was safe, they rushed forward and surrounded Yuan Yao nervously. Countless eyes glanced around with anger, trying to find out what happened. Sima Hui, the chief culprit, came, but there seemed to be no one else standing around.

"Cough..., cough...!" At this moment, a gray-faced figure climbed up from the ground, it was Sima Hui.

At this time, the hat on Sima Hui's head went to nowhere, his gray hair was messy, and it was covered with mud, and he kept patting his chest and coughing with snot and tears.

Then, the group of students who were knocked down also got up one after another, all of them looked embarrassed and horrified.

Sima Hui gasped, seeing that Yuan Yao was unharmed, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan! I wanted to give Mr. Yuan a surprise, so I increased the weight a little. I didn't want this power. It’s too big!! This old man deserves death!! He deserves death!!!”

The students of the Taixue Society also came back to their senses at this time, and they all turned pale with fright when they saw this, and they all knelt down facing Yuan Yao.

Who is Yuan Yao?How can the students not know! !
This is the most powerful person in the world today. Even the current emperor would be terrified when he saw Yuan Yao, not to mention ordinary students like them. But now, they personally bombed Yuan Yao into such a mess. If they get angry and order them to be killed, no one will dare to say no! !
