When around the state, the effectiveness of incendiary bombs is actually not so good. When they used this thing to defeat the Iron Harrier, it was also because the Iron Harrier had never seen an incendiary bomb, and they couldn't understand why the Song people threw a burning bottle that could make the flames burn on their bodies.

If you haven't seen it, there's no way to deal with it. Fight with a machine gun against the people of the Cold Weapon era, and before shooting, those GIs will still charge stupidly.

The incendiary bomb is made from its own sake, and the effect is particularly good. The clay pot was thrown out and smashed against the earthen wall, and the flames instantly adhered to the wall.

Shen San and the others carried buckets that had been prepared long ago and splashed them on the wall, but they couldn't extinguish the flames. For a while, everyone panicked, and Tang Ning asked them to shovel the soil and raise it, and they were busy for a while before finally extinguishing the flames.

However, the wall had been burned so black that it was impossible to see it, and Shen Kuo was surprised, he didn't expect this flame to be so fierce.

After a deep sigh, Shen Kuo said in a low voice, "Is there anything that can replace wine?" ”

"It's too much, oil, white phosphorus, pine resin or something can be replaced, you ask what this does, you have also seen the effect of wine, don't you think it works?"

"No, it's just that the old man thinks it's too wasteful to use wine. Wine is also made from grain, and if it were to be used as a weapon, how much food would have to be wasted. ”

Tang Ning sighed and said: "If you want to use ordnance to improve the combat effectiveness of my Great Song army, you must sacrifice some from other places."

Lao Shen, it's food that is sacrificed, not human life, so you can steal the fun. ”

Shen Kuo sighed with emotion and said: "How many people in the world are so hungry that they can't eat, but we use food to make incendiary bombs, I Shen don't know if it's okay, but now that I know, I feel ashamed." ”

Tang Ning pursed his lips, he really wanted to say that you Shen Kuo still have a conscience? But seeing that Shen Kuo's compassionate expression didn't seem to be fake, after thinking about it, he swallowed it back into his stomach.

"Then you go and get me some oil, didn't you write in your book, 'There is oil in the territory'? Those things are much better than wine, and they are not only used to make incendiary bombs. ”

Shen Kuo smiled awkwardly: "This ...... Having said that, the old man has no friendship with the officials of Yanlu, where you can get it if you say you can get it. ”

"Then don't dwell on these things." Tang Ning waved his hand: "I've been full of worries recently, the official family wants me to form the Zhenjiang Army, and I don't know where to recruit people." ”

"Did the official give you any money?"

"The first batch of food and ordnance will not arrive until June, and there are still two months left, and I can't do nothing in two months, and wait here, right? Anyway, you have to get a thousand people first, otherwise I'll be here

It's a shame for the bare-bones commander. ”

"Again, it's a really difficult thing to do. The local disaster victims and displaced people in Runzhou have been included in the Xiang Army, and it is not easy for you to recruit soldiers here. ”

Tang Ning sighed, thinking that Shen Kuo would be able to give him advice, but Shen Kuo's words didn't mean to help at all.

Rolling his eyes, Tang Ning said, "Okay, it's not too early." I won't talk to you about this, go home and sleep, and I'll have to recruit when I wake up tomorrow morning. ”

With that, Tang Ning left the Shen Mansion with his hands behind his back, leaving Shen Kuo alone looking at the black earthen wall in a daze.

After returning home, Liu Yier chased Tang Ning and asked him what he was doing. Tang Ning told Liu Yier about today's itinerary in 1510, but Liu Yier twisted her fingers and gritted her teeth and said that Tang Ning really went to find the rich woman surnamed Wang.

Knowing that although this woman has suffered a lot, she is still the daughter of a rich family who likes to eat some inexplicable flying vinegar, Tang Ning didn't care much about her, rolled his eyes and went to bed.

There was nothing to say that night, and the next morning, Tang Ning woke up, washed his face, rinsed his teeth, had breakfast, and went to the Runzhou Military Division.

He was going to think about how to recruit soldiers today.

first went to Gong Yihuan, praised his triumphant but useless invention, and then asked Gong Yihuan to help him carve a few words on the wooden plaque.

Gong Yihuan said that it would be good to find my apprentice for such a trivial matter, what do you want me to do! So Tang Ning was taken to the backyard by the little apprentice who was happy with the public, and the apprentice hadn't seen Tang Ning for a long time, until Tang Ning secretly took out the pie he bought on the street, and the apprentice remembered this big brother who would bring food every time he came.

After the three down and five divided by two gangs Tang Ning carved the five big characters of the office on the wooden plaque, the little apprentice grabbed the pie and happily went to find the public to lose.

This kid did a good job of respecting his teacher, and every time Tang Ning brought him food, he always had to send it to the public first.

Tang Ning and Lin Wei came to the Runzhou Military Division in a leisurely manner, it was still early, and the four bad old men didn't seem to come. But the old chamberlain has been standing at the door with his arms in his arms for a long time.

Seeing Tang Ning coming, the old chamberlain snorted and said, "Tang Chan is really leisurely, now that he has no soldiers, aren't you in a hurry at all?" ”

Tang Ning frowned and said, "What's the use of me being in a hurry?" I'm in a hurry to conjure up hundreds or thousands of soldiers for you? The first batch of rations and ordnance will not be delivered until June, and I have recruited soldiers, so can it be that I ask them to drink the northwest wind together? ”

"You!" The old chamberlain said angrily: "How can you be so rude? The old man is a prisoner! ”

Tang Ning said helplessly: "Do you think I am willing to tell you these words?" You don't understand

It's good to stand on the sidelines and watch, don't always rush, I'm also very bored in my heart. ”

After speaking, Tang Ning sighed and walked straight into the door of the military department, came to the front of his office, hung the wooden sign at the door, and pushed the door and walked in.

The old chamberlain thought about it and felt that what Tang Ning said was not unreasonable. Although this bastard kid looks unreliable, he has gained such trust and appreciation from the official family at a young age, and his mood to complete the official task is estimated to be more urgent than himself.

It's really inappropriate to urge him like this. But he couldn't get used to Tang Ning's hanging appearance, and every time he saw it, he felt anger rising from his heart, and evil was born on both sides.

Maybe it was because he was scolded by Tang Ning at the beginning, but in short, he just didn't like Tang Ning.

This also made the old chamberlain quite distressed, he had always felt that he was a reasonable person, why did he suddenly change his appearance when he met Tang Ning?

After thinking about it, he thought it was because he didn't know enough about Tangning. So he thought of a way, that is, to follow Tang Ning every day to observe this person.

So just as Tang Ning was putting his legs on the table and thinking about the slogan of recruitment, the old chamberlain pushed the door in.

Seeing Tang Ning's appearance, the old chamberlain was naturally angry, pointed at Tang Ning and said angrily: "What else do you have to say!" What else do you have to quibble! The old man clearly saw you sleeping! ”

Tang Ning was also angry, slapped the table and jumped up and said, "I want to deal with official business, look at how can I see a file in this room?"

If you have something, you stay, and if you have everything, don't disturb my purity here. Go home and think about it, how to publicize when recruiting, it's much more useful than if you were watching me here! ”

"Spying on you? Joke, you say the old man spies on you? Do you deserve it? The old chamberlain sneered: "The old man is also the prisoner of the Zhenjiang army, is it necessary for the old man to monitor you?" ”

"Metropolitan Supervisor, your old man's office is next door, this is the office of the Governor, the five big characters at the door are clearly written, please identify the place and come again?"

The old chamberlain watched Tang Ning say these words with an extremely unpumped expression, he was trembling with anger, and looked at Tang Ning through gritted teeth, Tang Ning had a clear conscience, and naturally looked at him heroically.

The two stared at each other for a long time, and the old chamberlain flicked his sleeves and turned his head away.

Lin Wei, who was sitting on the side, looked at the door worriedly and said to Tang Ning: "My lord, isn't it good for you to be like this?" He is also your prison army, if he stumbles on you in the future, won't you suffer? ”

Tang Ning smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry." He is so old, and he has long been very indifferent to fame and fortune. As long as I am dedicated to the country and loyal to the king, he will not embarrass me. ”
