Ma Sui followed closely behind Zhen Sixteen, eating and living with Zhen Sixteen during this time, and pulled into the relationship between the two, although it did not reach the point of saying nothing, but it also deepened the understanding of the two parties, and Ma Sui also had a new understanding of this slightly obese guy.

It has been almost a year since Ma Sui was rescued by Zhen Er's caravan to Murowei, and he has lived in Black City for almost half a year, during this time, Ma Sui has really opened his eyes and gained a lot of knowledge, some of which he never dared to think of before, and even subverted his own worldview.

The burning stone is called charcoal, this kind of thing has been seen before, only poor families will use it, and it is very dangerous, and many people often die because of burning coal.

In Datang, rich people use charcoal, or the kind of gold silk carbon that has no smoke, and I have never seen such a black and dangerous thing.

But in the Black Domain City, Ma Sui saw a completely different scene, the whole city is using charcoal, from striking iron to the usual cooking, to the usual heating and fire, all aspects of life are using this kind of charcoal, cheap and practical.

As for the black and viscous fierce fire oil, it is even more magical, these things in the military Ma Sui have some cognition, but they have not studied it carefully, first, this kind of thing is a lowly craftsman's duty, and second, no one has ever considered that it can be so useful.

What's more, this kind of fierce fire oil is very rare in Datang, and there is a puff of black smoke when it burns, and the taste is extremely unpleasant.

However, a large amount of fierce fire oil was found here in Black Domain City, and the amount was so large that Ma Sui couldn't even think of it, hundreds of barrels of fierce fire oil could emerge from the ground every day, if only that's it.

As a junior from a military family, after using the fierce fire oil for the first time in Black Domain City, he immediately discovered that it was a weapon that could change the shape of war.

Fierce fire oil can not only be used in the military, but also in life, and the lighting in the Black Domain City is all made of fierce fire oil. However, this fierce fire oil seems to have undergone some kind of treatment, and there is no large amount of black smoke, and even the sticky feeling is gone. There's even a fierce fire oil that's strictly guarded, and the smell is very pleasant, like the name of gasoline.

Ma Sui saw someone using fierce fire oil mixed with stones to pave the road, at that time was startled, thinking that this was looking for death, and thought that this was a trap set for the enemy, but when he looked at it, he found that which road could be walked, the craftsman said that this fierce fire oil was called asphalt, which was specially used to pave the road.

Black Domain City became more and more mysterious in Ma Sui's eyes, and there were many places that Ma Sui was forbidden to enter, and those places were the most mysterious craftsman camps in Black Domain City.

Almost something that has something to do with the mystery, there are traces of the craftsman's camp in it, Ma Sui has carefully studied the cannon that can fire projectiles to make a loud noise, the appearance is very simple, the process is not complicated, the main thing is casting technology, I believe that the craftsmen in his father's barracks should also be able to cast.

There is nothing mysterious about even those iron bullets.

However, the gunpowder used in the artillery made Ma Sui puzzled, and privately took advantage of the gunner's lack of attention, and secretly took some research, and found that there was a faint smell of sulfur in it, as if there was saltpeter, charcoal, etc., but the proportion was unknown, and it was difficult to get more!

As for the cement used to build the city, build roads, and build houses, it is also very mysterious, there are many such things in Heiyu City, and these things I haven't heard of anyone else when I was in the Tang Dynasty, obviously they are all from the hands of craftsmen.

Before figuring out this, Ma Sui was not ready to leave here, and the surveillance of Ma Sui in Black Domain City had never been relaxed, but in Ma Sui's eyes, he still had a chance to escape, the reason was that there were too many war horses in Black Domain City, and he could easily steal a few war horses, and with the transportation of war horses, coupled with his careful and careful planning, it was not difficult to leave Murowei at all.

But the problem is that the longer I have been in contact with these people, the more curious I become, and the more I want to understand what these people want to do.

It is already incomprehensible that a group of Tang people ran to the icy and snowy Murowei, and these people are still building a city here, and if they plan not to leave, if they want to say that these people are horse thieves, they will not believe it if they kill Ma Sui.

Ma Sui has no doubt that when he returns to Datang and tells everything that happened here, I'm afraid few people will believe his words.

No matter how you look at these people, they look like a well-disciplined and well-trained army, but they are indeed not an army, and there is no such army in the Tang Dynasty, and even their combat methods are very different from those of the Tang army, as if this army came out of the ground, and it is also an army that is more ferocious than the Hu people's combat methods.

"Ma Lang, how many waves of enemy cavalry have we killed today?"

"It's supposed to be the fifth wave!"

Ma Sui beat the horse and walked a few steps in parallel with Zhen Sixteen, with a thoughtful expression on his face, and asked puzzledly: "It's not a matter to kill like this, those enemies disappear near the Black Domain City, and they will definitely attract more enemies, aren't you worried?" ”

"I'm worried!" Zhen Sixteen took out the hand stuffed in the crotch of his pants, and stuffed a different hand into the crotch to warm up: "No way! These Murowei people are not reasonable at all, if they are allowed to discover the Black Domain City, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive this winter! ”

"What's so good here, except for some fierce fire oil, it's freezing, I really don't know why you want to stay here."

Zhen Sixteen took a copper kettle from the horse's buttocks, took a sip and handed it to Ma Sui and said, "Brother, take a sip to warm up!" ”

Ma Sui took a sip, and it was a spicy soju, which made Ma Sui very unaccustomed to it at first, but gradually he liked the heat in such a cold weather.

"Actually, it's a good place! Malang, didn't you find out? As long as we are given three or five years of time, we will definitely lay down a territory of our own here, establish our own country, and live a life that we could not have imagined before, so that our descendants can live a carefree new life in this land! ”

"You really want to build a country here, you don't have to worry about the Murwei people, as well as the Khitans, and even other tribes such as the Bohai State and the Hui people, they will not allow some Tang people to establish a country on their land, there will inevitably be a war between you, and this war will be endless, this is a disaster!"

"Really?" Zhen Sixteen smiled, like looking at a fool, and said: "Ma Lang, you should really take a good look at history, that nation on the grassland was not established from weakness, when a strong tribe dies, it will be replaced by another tribe." How many grassland tribes live on the grasslands north of the Tang Dynasty, and there have always been constant wars between them, dying, rising, annexing, growing, surrendering to the strong, and finally unifying the grasslands to threaten the Central Plains, and the cycle repeats itself I don't know how many years have passed, it's time to break it all! ”
