Zhu Linmiao was almost amused by this piece - Mu Zhiqing colluded with Qi Li'an? Still embezzling silver taels?!

You must know that Zhiqing is now the princess he has not passed through. Even if she took 10,000 steps back and said that if she really wanted to collude with the courtiers, she only had to hook her fingers, and the senior members of the cabinet and the six ministries would definitely come to the door to send money. This Li Congtai actually said that she colluded with a small official of the Ministry of Industry from Bapin......

Let's talk about this greed for ink. The Mu family is hundreds of years old Lijiang toast, the family gold and silver are piled up, during the Shadingzhou rebellion, people casually pulled, and the grain and grass worth more than 100,000 taels were given to Mu Tianbo in vain. This time, Zhiqing came to Jiangnan to see him, even if he was in a hurry, he also brought nearly 10,000 taels of "pocket money". Can such a "local tyrant" look at the little silver of Zhoushan canning factory?

It's just hilarious!

Zhu Linmiao then instructed behind the chapter: The Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department thoroughly investigated Li Congtai, the prefect of Ningbo.

He thought again that Li Congtai was in Ningbo, but he was so concerned about Zhoushan Island across the sea, which showed that Zhoushan must still have his henchmen. So he put pen to paper and added a sentence: In addition, the Li Party in Zhoushan will also be investigated.

At the end, he took out another piece of paper and wrote a secret letter to Zheng Guangying in Jinyi Weinan Town, asking him to send someone to touch the bottom of Ningbo Mansion first.

Putting aside the matter of Zhoushan, Zhu Linmiao picked up another piece of music, but it was presented by King Yongning, and there was a big circle in front of him, so he twisted and pinched and said his true meaning, because he wanted to come to Xiaoling to take a look.

The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty forbade them to leave their fiefdoms, and last year it was because of the war in Jiangxi that Zhu Youshu had to make an exception to lead the escort army. When Jiangxi is pacified, he still has to stay in Jianchang.

He looked at the cabinet draft attached to the recital, and sure enough, the suggestion was not accurate.

In the subsequent recital, I saw that nearly ten clans, including the King of Eshan Han, the King of Jingzhou Hui, the King of Changyang of Guangzhou, and the King of Yi, the King of Huai, and the King of Changsha, asked to come to Nanzhili to "look at the tomb of filial piety".

Probably they got the news of Hong Chengchou's "begging surrender" and thought that Nanzhili had settled down. However, the Cabinet of Ministers, in accordance with the ancestral system, invariably voted "disagree" to these requests.

In fact, Zhu Linmiao can still understand these vassal kings very well. After all, the people of the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the ancestral tomb, not to mention the significant Ming dragon vein. This filial piety tomb fell into the hands of Jianyu for more than a year, as a descendant, I want to come to see it from a distance is forgivable.

As for worrying about the feudal king leaving the fiefdom and causing chaos, he was not worried.

Not to mention that among these vassal kings, except for the king of Yongning, there are not even any decent soldiers. Even if they had an army, no one would be willing to take on this burden in the face of the captives who were eyeing them as emperors. When Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, was captured by the Qing army after just three months of imprisonment, everyone still remembers it vividly.

Do kings gather? He suddenly had an interesting idea that maybe he could use this opportunity to do something practical. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, ignoring the opinion of the cabinet, and agreed to the request of the vassal king to come to Nanjing, and ordered the garrisons from all over the country to escort him along the way.

As soon as he put down the pen, he heard a loud noise not far away that shook the mountain, which shook his eardrums and rained down the broken tiles above his head.

Zhu Lin stood up suddenly, Yao Qisheng and others have been testing the explosion of nitrocellulose recently, and there are sounds from time to time, but this time it is obviously different, and the movement is several times louder than before.

He hurried to the test site, which was just over a mile away from his "makeshift office."

Behind the bunker next to the test explosion point, Yao Qisheng looked dusty, and when he saw that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King had come down, he immediately said with a proud face: "Your Highness, it's done!" It's done! ”

Zhu Linmiao was also overjoyed when she heard this. During this time, he successively designed a spinning bucket to prevent "overnitrification", and transferred dozens of meat grinders from Su Ji Zhenpin to crush cotton, and finally produced qualified nitrocellulose.

But then I ran into the humidity problem of nitrocellulose - it was too dry to explode if it moved a little, and it was too wet to ignite. After seven or eight days of trial and error, two craftsmen were seriously injured as a result.

And the simple word "become" finally announced that the Ming Dynasty had the right explosives.

Zhu Linmiao looked around with relief, "Everyone has worked hard!" He asked Yao Qisheng again: "How much nitrocellulose is there now?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, there are more than eighty catties in total." The latter added, "However, 200 catties of fuming nitric acid have been prepared, and more than 100 catties of broken cotton have been prepared." ”

Zhu Linmiao nodded and ordered, "Okay, immediately step up nitrification." The prepared ones are mixed with wine and water in the proportions just tested. After making 300 catties of nitrocellulose, he came to report to me. Capture the city of Nanjing in one fell swoop! ”

He remembered that the power of TNT was seven times that of black powder, and nitrocellulose was only stronger than TNT, and there was already a small pit at the root of the Nanjing city wall on the east side, so three hundred catties of nitrocellulose should be more than enough to blow up the city wall.

Yao Qisheng solemnly bowed his hand and said: "The student guarantees that it will be completed within three days!" ”

The most troublesome thing in the manufacture of nitrocellulose is the preparation of raw materials, as long as the cotton and nitric acid are done, the nitrification process is only ten or twenty minutes.

Zhu Linmiao looked at the Shogunate Mountain camp in the distance, calculating that he had spent thirteen days in this "explosives laboratory", and he could finally go back with confidence at this moment. He then instructed Shi Lin: "Send someone to inform the generals to come to my tent to discuss matters." ”

"Yes!"

Three days later.

sub-hours.

Nanjing Chengtou.

A Qing patrol walked quickly across the city with torches. The leading officer turned his head and saw more than a dozen dozing soldiers not far away, and immediately rushed forward, gave each of them a kick fiercely, and shouted: "Fuck me up!" If you dare to be lazy and throw you out of the city! ”

"Yes, yes, the general spares his life."

The defenders stood up tremblingly, and did not stop asking for mercy. When the officer walked away, several people muttered quietly.

"In half a month, the city will be opened, and you still have a fart!"

"That's it, didn't they all tell the Ming army that they would be exempt from war this month? You can't close your eyes......"

"Eh, you say, is this news reliable?"

"Naturally, it's true, Lord Hong's handwritten rubbings have been transmitted to the city, and I saw it a few days ago."

After being silent for a while, another person said: "Brothers, after the Ming army enters the city, what are we going to do?" ”

"Haven't you heard? As long as our Han soldiers put down their blades, they will all be sent back to their hometowns, and they will not be blamed for the past. ”

"Well, that's fine...... To tell the truth, if it weren't for the surrender of the official, who would be willing to give his life to the Tartars? ”

"Not really! As soon as the gates opened, I went to greet the army......"

Where did Hong Chengchou expect that the current Ming Auxiliary King is not a "righteous gentleman". How could he hide such a "good thing" as Jianyu begging, and on the same day, he ordered someone to bring Hong Chengchou to Nanjing and began to "hype".

Hong Chengchou "has a ghost in his heart", so even if he learned that the rumors were spreading, he could not refute it openly, for fear that the Ming army would know and listen to his delaying strategy, and later the morale of the Qing army fell to the bottom.

Today marks the 87th anniversary of the September 18 Incident, and when I heard the sound of the air raid siren, my heart was filled with emotion. If you really fall behind, you will be beaten. It is the martyrs' efforts to catch up and sacrifice their lives to forget their lives have made us realize our current peaceful and prosperous life. Today is not only for us to recall the shame of the past and cherish the memory of our compatriots who have passed away, but also to let us remember that only by self-improvement can we rejuvenate China and make the historical September 18 incident never happen again!
