618 The Birth of Gunpowder Weapons

With a loud bang, Suning suddenly trembled, feeling goosebumps all over his body, his ears suddenly felt a little bad, and he felt that there was an inexplicable sound all the time, which was very unpleasant, and the eunuchs and maids in the entire courtyard were frightened by this loud noise and screamed, the maids fell to the ground and covered their ears and trembled, the eunuchs were slightly better, but they were all trembling, and some of the eunuchs were also paralyzed on the ground and trembling, and Zhao Chen suddenly rushed to Li Erma's body to make a loyal protector.

The guards were better, but they were also nervous and afraid, and a few guards kept picking their ears and patting their heads, it must be that the voice was too loud and the ears were temporarily deaf, Suning looked at Li Erma, Li Erma's face was as usual, but there was a little excitement in his eyes, his eyes were shining when he looked at the explosion, and he shouted with a wave of his hand: "Zhao Chen, you take a few people to go there to see how the situation is!" ”

Zhao Chen immediately ran out, and ran over with a few eunuchs behind him to check the situation, and then Suning saw one of the eunuchs fall to the ground all of a sudden and kept retreating, as if he had seen something terrible, and another eunuch vomited, leaving only the last eunuch and Zhao Chen to run back and report to Li Erma: "Your Majesty, the dog has been blown up and died." ”

Zhao Chen's face was not very good, the eunuch's face was also a little pale, and then looked at the eunuch who collapsed on the ground and shivered and the eunuch who vomited, Li Erma's face finally showed an excited look: "Okay!" Very good! Then he got up and walked there, as if to see the real scene. A large group of guards hurriedly followed, each holding their hands on the hilt of the knife, obviously very uneasy, and Suning also followed closely to see how powerful the world's first gunpowder weapon was.

At this time, Li Tai broke free from the arms of the eldest grandson queen and rushed over, and kept asking, "What's wrong?" How's it going? What the hell is going on?! ”

Suning said with a smile: "It's successful, the dog was blown up and died, let's go and see!" ”

Li Tai's face showed a strong look of joy. Nodding. Said: "Good! Go see how! ”

When the group walked to the explosion site, they saw the bloody scene, Suning had killed people on the battlefield, and the battlefield was much bloodier than this. No big deal. It's just that Suning is a little disappointed. Sure enough, the power of this large bamboo tube gunpowder is only so little, and the power of the original gunpowder is really very small. Even if the cannon is made, there is no matching gunpowder, and it is not powerful enough.

There is a long way to go......

But this time it doesn't seem to be the case in the eyes of others, Li Tai's face instantly turned pale, but it was immediately replaced by a fanatical look, this bamboo tube gunpowder killed the dog, it proves that the gunpowder weapon is lethal, not only a dog, put a person here is the same, the same will die, gunpowder weapons can continue to develop, can continue to develop! That kind of power is really terrifying, and it really makes people have to pursue it!

The guards all changed color, their faces were shocked, and they covered their stomachs one after another, for fear of encountering the same fate as this dog, Li Er Majesty is also a character who came out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, this little bit of pediatrics is naturally not a problem, and his face did not change, but he was a little surprised: "It is actually so powerful?" If a person is afraid that he will be dead, I really can't imagine that a small bamboo tube can have such power. ”

Suning was suddenly depressed, thinking to himself, if you knew that in more than a thousand years, there would be weapons to raze a city, would you still treat the gunpowder in this bamboo tube like this? Anyway, Suning will definitely not, and he also knows that at this time, even if he can create a sufficiently qualified cannon barrel made of zuò artillery, it is useless, the power of gunpowder is too small, and if he does not step up research and research on gunpowder that burns more fully, there is no way for the Tang army to start officially equipping gunpowder weapons.

Only when artillery is recognized by the military, and artillery units are set up separately, and artillery is listed separately to set up a new branch of the military, can it be regarded as the official opening of the firearms era.

However, these local products of the Tang Dynasty obviously don't know the true power of gunpowder, and they are still horrified by the little power of early gunpowder. It is not the work of artillery to disembowel a dog and disembowel someone, it is the work of a musket, and the job of artillery is to disembowel the city wall and destroy the strong city wall, whether it is an earthen city wall or a bluestone city wall, anyway, it is not what the current artillery can do.

Flowering shells don't need to be considered for the time being, but solid shells can be considered, the shells of the earliest artillery should also be solid shells, and if you want to deal with the city wall, the ancient cannonballs can be developed to Cheng dù is a solid bullet, backed by powerful gunpowder, under one blow, you can destroy the opponent's city wall, that is called cool, and the Tang Iron Cavalry does not have to worry about being useless, even if it is a siege battle, you can also let the Iron Cavalry participate.

Suning immediately began to think about how to improve the existing gunpowder, but Li Erma Xià obviously did not intend to give him this opportunity, Li Erma, who woke up from his reverie, realized that this was a huge project, just like an incendiary tank, an ideal that is difficult to achieve in a short period of time, but once realized, the power is not something that ordinary people can imagine, in Li Erma's thoughts, this gunpowder is much more powerful than the incendiary canister.

Be sure to keep it a secret!

This idea suddenly occupied the entire consciousness of Li Er, and he suddenly realized that the previous neglect of the power of gunpowder made the entire Chang'an City fall into the discussion of gunpowder, and the imperial court must immediately issue a document to appease the subjects and the people, just saying that the palace was flooded and destroyed something, so that the subjects did not need to panic, so that the people of Chang'an could probably be appeased.

But there is another very important group -- the group of foreigners.

After the influence of the confidentiality decree, Li Ermaxi was not generally concerned about his intellectual property rights, and the ID card system was in full swing. The people of Chang'an City have at least a Datang ID card, although it is just a very ordinary paper, but the meaning it represents is very important.

Similarly, there are a lot of foreigners with passes, Chang'an is the settlement of foreigners in the Tang Dynasty, basically every foreigner who arrives in the Tang Dynasty will choose to settle in Chang'an, before the implementation of the ID card and household registration system, there are already a lot of foreigners who have settled in Chang'an City, these foreigners will also rush to Honglu Temple to apply for a temporary residence certificate in the first time, and the whole family will come together. Prove it.

Foreigners who do not come with their whole clan can only apply for a pass. There is still a limited time, only half a year, which is still the time for Suning to deliberately relax considering the backwardness of ancient means of transportation, and I still want to stay for more than half a year. Then you have to continue to go to Honglu Temple to handle it. Explain the situation. Reissue as appropriate.

In this way, all the foreigners in Chang'an were counted by Datang and registered. Zongheng Division also got a copy from Honglu Temple and put it in the file in case it is needed from time to time, so the foreigners in the entire Chang'an are monitored and arranged for them to live in the southeast corner, because there are only five foreigners in Chang'an who meet the requirements for the official ID card of the Tang Dynasty during the current period, and they cannot live in the center without an official ID card.

The foreigners in Chang'an were divided into two parts, one in the southeast corner and the other in the Honglu Temple, all of which were closely monitored, Li Erma was not worried that they would make a fuss, but the sound was so loud, they could probably hear it, and they needed to deal with it carefully, otherwise once the secrets of the Tang Dynasty were discovered by the foreigners, once such a dangerous weapon was leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Erma couldn't help but start thinking about whether he should also establish a strong spy agency similar to the Zongheng Division, or internal supervision, which is very necessary, isn't it?

"Suning, since you are going to stay at home for three months and are not allowed to go out, then take advantage of this time to study this gunpowder more, it is better to get it in your own fief in Sanyuan County than in Chang'an City, Chang'an City has many people, it is not easy to manage, and you basically know people in your own fiefdom, so it will be more convenient, do you understand?" Li Ermajesty said to Suning.

Suning nodded in response, although it is not idle and boring, but in a special period, you need to concentrate on accompanying Li Ruihan, so in addition to accompanying Li Ruihan, it is also quite interesting to tinker with gunpowder, anyway, you will not be found if you hide in the house and look at your mobile phone, it doesn't matter.

As soon as Li Tai heard this, he aimed his star eyes at Li Erma, hoping that he could also get such treatment, Li Ermaxi was completely immune to the star eyes, although he loved this son very much, it was really because of this that he was reluctant to let Li Tai take risks: "Don't look at me like this, it's useless!" The grounding must be grounded, the penalty must be punished, by the way, Suning, your penalty copy will be exempted, more time to study gunpowder, Qingque, your penalty copy will be added to a hundred copies, so you don't have to be free to do it secretly! ”

Li Erma's methods are very sophisticated, Suning tied up the gunpowder, and Li Tai was crushed to death by the "Three Character Classic", which indirectly led to the fact that every time Li Tai heard that someone was reading the "Three Character Classic", he couldn't help but be mad and beat people like crazy demons, and in the end, the "Three Character Classic" became Li Tai's nightmare for a lifetime......

But this is exactly what Suning meant, what he hates the most is copying books, it is better to have some time to write "Zizhi Tongjian", with the help of Cui Xiaoyi, "Zizhi Tongjian" has completed half of the progress, and is impacting the next half, and now Suning will also put forward an outline, mention a central idea, and the specific words will depend on Cui Xiaoyi, Suning just has time to write about his favorite part, and those who don't like it are all thrown to Cui Xiaoyi to write.

Cui Xiaoyi, who is full of wealth, is willing to do this matter, anyway, he has nothing to do now, and it is not yet time for him to let go of his hands and feet to do things, his favorite thing now is to consult information in the study and write "Zizhi Tongjian", except for this matter, he rarely cares about anything else, but the task of the housekeeper is also very good, at least the Su family can still continue to operate at high speed without Suning and Su Xiaomei presiding.

Before Suning returned to Sanyuan County, he went to see Li Chengqian, and told him to pay more attention to Li Tai, but don't let him touch the formula of gunpowder again and then tinker with gunpowder, otherwise the thief himself will not be able to save his life, Li Chengqian was deeply sympathetic to Suning and Li Tai's experience, and expressed great curiosity about gunpowder, and Suning said that I will come back to show you the results when I finish the grounding.

When he returned to the fiefdom, Suning was very surprised to see Li Xiaogong, who was already flashing, appear again, and when he saw Suning, he rushed up and scolded him with a stinking scolding that spittled and splashed stars, which made Suning quite depressed, but there was nothing to be done, this old guy relied on the old man and sold the old, or his father-in-law, Suning had nothing to do with him.

As a result, I learned that Li Ruihan was afraid that she had something to do, so she asked someone to call Li Xiaogong into the palace to solve the matter, but Li Xiaogong did not go to the palace, but came directly to the house to see her daughter, which made Suning roll her eyes angrily......

Forget it, don't worry about him in general, the days ahead are still long, we still have to play, it's true to do a good job of gunpowder and "Zizhi Tongjian" first...... Well, also, to my first child, hehe! (To be continued......)
