Chapter 972: Overboard
The Taiye Pool is very large, the water surface is clear and wide, He Zhi'er put his hand on the pergola and looked around, frowned: "There is no boat here, how can it be good?" ”
Jiajing immediately commanded: "Who is that...... Ma San asked, go find a small boat, hurry up, you are the only one who is delayed. ”
Ma Sanwen didn't dare to slack off, and ran away with a smoke, and soon, the imperial eunuch Huang Jin came in a hurry, and ordered someone to row over the two gorgeous painting boats, carved dragons and phoenixes on the hull, and knew that it was worth a lot at a glance.
"Gongzi Xie, I can't find a boat in the palace for a while, and the emperor has a few boats that he uses to travel to the Taiye Pool on weekdays, I don't know if it's suitable or not?" Huang Jinchen said with a smile.
Jiajing immediately turned around and said to He Zhi'er with a sneer: "Sister Zhi'er, is the painting boat suitable for use?" If it doesn't work, I'll let them find it again. ”
"What time is it now, and it is estimated that it will be dark when I go to find the boat again, so I will use it, but if such a beautiful painting boat is blown up, won't the emperor be angry?" He Zhi'er hesitated.
Zhu Houxi said disappreciably: "It's just two bow paintings, and it's been used for several years...... cough, the emperor won't be so stingy, it's a big deal that I will compensate him, it's not worth a few dollars anyway, Huang Gonggong, don't you say? ”
Huang Jin's heart trembled violently, these two bow painting boats have been used for a few years, but the cost is more than five hundred taels of silver, which is enough for twenty medium-sized families to spend a year.
"Hehe, Gongzi Xie is right, they are all old objects that have been used for several years, they are not worth any money, the imperial prison is already preparing to build two new ones, Miss Zhi'er will fry it if she likes it, the old ones will not go, and the new ones will not come!" Huang Jin covered his conscience and said.
Zhu Houxi glanced at Huang Jin approvingly, and said with a smile: "Look, I'm right, although Sister Zhi'er has blown it up, not to mention the two bow painting boats, even if it blows up the Taiye Pool, it doesn't matter." ”
Huang Jin trembled, and almost plunged into the pool of liquid!
When He Zhi'er heard this, she was unceremoniously, picked up the wooden box on the ground and got on one of the painting boats, Zhu Houxi also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Huang Jin, this is not a joke, if the emperor has a mistake, they can't eat and walk around.
"Brother Si Pao, you don't have to come with you, just watch on the shore, save you from getting in the way!" He Zhier said.
Zhu Houxi became competitive when he heard this, Sister Zhi'er is not afraid of a woman, how can she be cowardly? So he pushed Huang Jin away and went to the painting boat. This time, it was Huang Jin's turn to cry without tears, and he followed the painting boat with a rolling belt.
The two guards were in charge of paddling the boat to the middle of the pool, and He Zhi'er began to lay mines, first taking out a piece of hemp rope, hanging an iron-cast spinning top under the wooden box, and then placing the wooden box in the water.
The weight of the iron gyroscope was obviously carefully calculated, just enough to drag the wooden box to the bottom of the water, and the remaining two-thirds were exposed to the water, so that the iron gyroscope was equivalent to the iron anchor of the ship, so that the wooden box would not be easily swept away by the wind and waves.
In addition, the wooden box is also covered with two layers of oiled paper, but there is no need to worry about the mines inside being wet by water, with the current process, it is impossible to make a complete seal, can be directly put into the water mines.
After He Zhi'er placed the wooden box, he began to lay mines, which was a certain danger, so He Zhi'er became much more cautious in vain.
I saw her carefully hold up a fist-sized iron lump, this thing is a bit like a melon, it is made of pig iron, it is filled with gunpowder, and the trigger is a spring device, which is placed in a wooden box after winding, as long as the wooden box is violently impacted, the spring device will be activated, igniting the gunpowder in the mine, and then exploding.
After about a cup of tea, He Zhi'er finally arranged the mines, and the guards immediately rowed the boat back to the shore.
"Sister Zhi'er, what should you do next?" Jiajing asked eagerly, he naturally understood the benefits of the success of this thing, and the Daming Sailor will get a big killer weapon for water warfare, which will be used to fight ambushes and play yin, hey, it is absolutely invincible, well, the idea of this mine is also provided by Xu Qing, tsk Xu Qing This guy is insidious, but it is used to yin the enemy, I like it!
He Zhi'er said: "What else can I do, find someone to drive the painting boat over and hit it!" ”
Jiajing's eyes suddenly looked at the guard Ma San and asked, the latter's face turned green, and he said, "Childe, is it a small one?" ”
Jiajing rolled his eyes and said, "Do you want this son to come?" ”
"Well, who called the little one can swim!" Ma Sanwen boarded the boat under the sympathetic gaze of the brothers, and then rowed the boat with his oars to the location of the mine.
"Little Brother Ma, hurry up, hurry up!" He Zhi'er shouted with her hands on her lips.
Ma Sanwen rowed the boat with all his might, and the painting boat rushed to the wooden box half-floating on the water like an arrow off the string.
"Plop!" When the painting boat was still about ten meters away from the wooden box, Ma Sanwen jumped into the pool of liquid and swam quickly towards the shore.
The boat hit the wooden box at high speed and ran over it, but unfortunately the expected explosion did not happen, and the test failed!!
"Did you blow it up?" Ma Sanwen was pulled ashore by the brother from the water, asked with a shiver, turned his head and went to the pool, and when he saw that the painting boat was completely undamaged, he immediately said in disappointment: "It didn't blow up!" ”
I saw that the ownerless painting boat staggered towards the opposite bank, and the wooden box was still spinning in the center of the pool, only moving slightly by half a meter.
Zhu Houxi was also disappointed when he saw this, but when he saw He Zhi'er's depressed appearance, he still comforted: "Sister Zhi'er, don't be discouraged, Xu Qing...... cough, my brother-in-law said that failure is the mother of success, if you don't succeed once, let's try a few more times, and we will always succeed! ”
He Zhi'er waved her fist when she heard this: "Thank you, Brother Si Pao, Zhi'er will work harder!" ”
So, everyone boarded the remaining boat and went to recover the mine that had failed in the experiment.
As a result, when the painting boat had just approached Mushuang, he suddenly heard a ding, followed by a loud bang, boom, the water surface set off a huge wave, the painting boat shook violently, and the guards who supported the boat in the bow of the boat were loaded into the lake.
"Sister Zhi'er!" Zhu Houxi was doused by the huge waves, and when he wiped his face, he suddenly realized that He Zhi'er who was standing next to him was gone, and when he looked at the water, he saw He Zhi'er struggling to sink in the water.
Thump......
Zhu Houxi jumped into the water desperately and grabbed He Zhi'er. Huang Jin was so frightened that he shook his hands like an old mother and shouted: "The emperor has fallen into the water, save the driver!" ”
Plop Plop Plop ......
The guards jumped into the pool of liquid like dumplings, and soon rescued Zhu Houxi and He Zhi'er ashore, but the latter was already unconscious at this time because he was frightened or choked on cold water.
"Quickly pass on the Imperial Doctor!" Zhu Houxi himself was so cold that his upper and lower teeth were giggling, but he still roared violently.
As a result, a scene that can be called recorded in history happened, the Jiajing Emperor who was like a chicken in soup ran to Xihuamen with a wet He Zhi'er on his back, followed by a group of internal guards who looked like chickens in soup, plus a royal eunuch Huang Jin, who looked like a chicken in soup......
A group of chickens rushed to Xihuamen, but the palace guards on duty at Xihuamen were dumbfounded, and when they saw that the first person was actually the emperor, the palace guards were even more shocked that their mouths could be stuffed into their fists!
This scene is estimated to be a big book in the history of the wild in the future!
