Chapter 244: The thunder rolls in the sky and the wolf rushes to the pig

In order to survive and to have the capital to save your life, Chen Ying decided to open Pandora's magic box. As for what monsters will be released after the magic box is opened, Chen Ying no longer cared about it.

After all, the world is vast, and he and his family live the greatest life. He is no longer the same person, he has a family, a wife, a woman and a child. In the political environment of China, there is a specific law, that is, one emperor and one minister. When the Grand Sima General Wei Qing went from a slave to a general, but with the fall of the Wei Huo Group, it was not only the Wei Qing family that was unlucky, but even re-elected An, Tian Ren, Su Jian, Gongsun He and others did not die well.

The tens of thousands of generals under Chen Ying's command can be counted as hundreds of people from the direct generals. Once Chen Ying is finished, they will be confiscated and exterminated, and there will be no place to die.

After comforting Li Xiuning, Chen Ying started to prepare for making gunpowder. The ingredients of gunpowder were a simple formula that middle school students knew in later generations, and these things were not rare things.

For example, the most important nitrate in gunpowder. Nitrate is a heat-clearing medicine used to relieve fire. Of course, it can also be used to treat epigastric distension, food distension, indigestion, edema, edema, breast swelling, amenorrhea, and constipation.

It can be said to be an indispensable medicinal material in pharmacies. In addition to pharmacies using Glauber's salt, they also use nitrate to make skins in fur shops. Once the fur of any animal is dried, it will become very hard. The fur made by nitrogen will become white, soft, and elastic.

Guo Luo's movements were very fast. Just from Chen Ying's side, where Chen Jiabao was located closest to the eastern Jieyu River, he drew up a huge courtyard, specially used to make gunpowder.

Just as the site was cleaned, Guo Luo sent more than 3,000 kilograms of Glauber's salt in one breath. Chen Ying asked someone to pour the transported Glauber's salt into large buckets, and then add water. Just like the analysis of salt, first submerge the Glauber's salt with water, stir it constantly until the Glauber's salt completely dissolves, filters and removes the residue, and finally gets pure Glauber's salt, but these Glauber's salts are less than 2,000 kilograms of pure Glauber's salt.

Thinking that the impurities of Glauber's salt were as many as one-third, Chen Ying couldn't help but secretly smacked his tongue. These Glauber's salt were not used to make skins with nitrate, but were directly transferred in Datang Boren Hospital. Most of them were medical nitrate, either taken orally or externally. If there were so many impurities, Chen Ying's cold sweat would come down.

He can make money and engage in monopoly operations, but he never thought about making bad money, especially the money from Boren Hospital. Chen Ying immediately ordered: "All Glauber's salt in each branch of Boren Hospital will be stopped immediately and all of them will be analyzed and purified. In the future, all Glauber's salt will not be used without purification!"

Sulfur is naturally not pure sulfur, and there are many impurities. Relatively speaking, purifying sulfur is much troublesome, but Chen Ying has a certain foundation and can also be borrowed. For example, distilled alcohol utensils. Purification of saltpeter requires dissolving and analysis, but to purify sulfur, it must be distilled.

Chen Ying asked someone to use a steel-making crucible, pour sulfur into it, and then cover it with a cover of distilled alcohol. When the water flow cools down, sulfur steam can be easily collected. When the sulfur steam cools in water, pure sulfur can be obtained.

In fact, Chen Ying was just a starter in making these things, and some of the work below were done by people. Now, there are no less than 7,000 craftsmen of all kinds who rely on Chen Ying to eat. Although these craftsmen do not understand what Chen Ying's real purpose is, they have created pure Glauber's salt and sulfur according to Chen Ying's requirements.

As for willow branch charcoal, it is even simpler. Chen Ying simply and roughly let a mill empty out and specializes in grinding willow branch charcoal. When these willow branch charcoals are ground into fine flour, they will use fine radish (a sieving tool, which has now disappeared in the lives of the people) to brush off the particles to obtain fine charcoal powder.

The rest of the work is relatively simple. According to the classic gold formula (this is really not detailed, otherwise it will be unlucky) it becomes a pile of new pure black powder. Chen Ying asked someone to find egg white to beat it into the powder and put it in the sieve and roll it back and forth. After a stick of incense, it became small particles one by one. After passing the sieve, the leaks were all rapeseed-sized particles. Only then did Chen Ying start making his own treasure with satisfaction.

Phosphorus pig iron is a rather disgusting thing. Although it is iron, it has a high phosphorus content and a very brittle texture. However, Chen Ying has several small iron ores in his hands, both of which are phosphate-rich iron ore. Such iron ores have relatively high mining costs and no price advantage at all.

Even when Li Yuan took back the steel workshop in Chen Ying's hand, he did not take back this kind of useless iron ore, because this kind of iron cannot be used as a tool or a weapon. It is said that it is iron, which is not much stronger than pottery. It looks like a bit thicker phosphorus iron, and you can press it gently with your hand to press this iron piece to pieces. There are hard qigong performances in the world and break steel plates with bare hands. In fact, most of them use phosphorus iron as props (except for real kung fu, which Lao Cheng has never seen).

Although phosphorus iron is a useless rib, the armor-breaking sheet used for grenade bombs is the best. As long as the thickness exceeds three or five millimeters, it will not be easily broken. However, gunpowder can easily explode. Under the impact of gunpowder, the phosphorus iron sheet will form very deadly armor-breaking shrapnel.

In order to keep confidential, purify and analyze these tasks, craftsmen do it, but when the ratio is really matched, Chen Ying personally operated it. After obtaining these granular gunpowder, Chen Ying personally installed a phosphorus iron shell that looked like a melon grenade.

Chen Ying often played firecrackers by himself when he was a boy in his later generations. He was very familiar with this thing. He first rubbed saltpeter powder into twists, stuffed them into a phosphorus iron shell, and then inserted paper scraps into a solid.

In this way, a hand-beating bullet weighing about one pound has been done. However, Qinglin is not suitable as a test site for hand-beating bullets.

After making ten grenade bombs in one breath, Chen Ying asked Guo Luo to take dozens of confidants, one by one, three war horses, to Changnianyuan in the southeast of Jieyu River.

In later generations, Changnianyuan had become a spectacular fertile land, and is still a deserted wasteland, and Chen Ying was not worried about being discovered by others.

Guo Luo didn't see the preparation, nor did he know what was inside, but he was very confident in Chen Ying's powder because he saw how to purify those materials, and each method was extremely magical.

Guo Luo and others rode their horses and finally arrived at Changnianyuan after more than two hours.

Chen Ying asked Guo Luo to send people to scatter. After confirming that there was no one in the radius of more than ten miles, Chen Ying began to light the torch. Chen Ying picked up a grenade and placed it on the torch to light the fuse. As the hissing sound of the fuse burning sounded, Chen Ying threw the grenade at a mulberry tree with a diameter of more than thirty steps away.

"Boom..." The mulberry tree became pitch black, and four or five pieces of bark were blown off on the entire tree.

More than a dozen war horses around Chen Ying were frightened by the loud bang, neighing and struggling. If it weren't for being tied to a big tree, the war horses would have broken free from the reins and ran away. Guo Luo was shocked and his mouth opened, and he had not come back to his senses for a long time.

Chen Ying walked to the big tree and observed the power of the explosion. He found that the tree was covered with dozens of bullet holes. These shrapnel had penetrated deep into the tree and disappeared. It can be imagined that it was quite powerful.

Chen Ying saw a stone worth about 100 kilograms, ignited the fuse and put the grenade under the stone, turned his head and ran away.

Seeing Guo Luo still stunned on the spot, Chen Ying quickly pulled Guo Luo to run away.

With a loud bang, the stone weighing more than a hundred kilograms turned into pieces of gravel, and the largest piece was only a dozen kilograms.

At this time, Chen Ying's personal guard came to hear the news and nervously guarded around Chen Ying.

Guo Luo slowly came to his senses at this time and said with a dizzy look: "Master...this...this..."

"This is the cost of saving my life!" Chen Ying looked at the guards around him and smiled: "You guys say, is this enough?"

Guo Luo said excitedly: "Enough, enough, as long as one is thrown into the enemy formation, it will definitely explode a large piece of it!"

At this time, the power of gunpowder bullets can be greater than that of later generations. Because later generations have adapted to the form of hot weapons wars, during the attack, infantry is no longer in dense formations, and it will never be like the ones played in movies and TV dramas, where a grenade bomb can kill a large piece.

In fact, in the attack, the distance between each soldier is at least eight meters, usually more than ten meters. A three-person combat team has a combat area of ​​more than one hundred square meters. Even if it is a type 67 wooden handle blast, the killing radius is only eight meters and the coverage area is only fifty square meters. In actual combat, a blast can almost be reimbursed for a combat team, let alone blowing more than ten people.

But it is different at this time, because using a dense array, at least one team must be stationed within 100 square meters.

Guo Luo said excitedly: "Master, with this killing weapon, we can enter the palace at any time!"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "Grenade is actually not omnipotent. Of course, I will not use it lightly unless it is absolutely necessary. Once it is used, it will be your death!"

Speaking of this, Chen Ying said to Guo Luo: "When our people arrive in Chang'an, we will immediately draw 500 people to form a grenade battalion, and each battalion is 500 people. We will secretly practice bomb dropping techniques and must form combat power in the fastest time!"

Guo Luo said: "I hope to die for the Lord!"

Chen Ying was still unsatisfied. He ignited the remaining eight grenade bombs one after another and threw them on Changniu Plain. For a while, the sky was rolling on Changniu Plain, and the wolf thunder rushed.

Chen Ying laughed loudly and turned back to the Qinglin.

By the time Chen Ying returned to the Qinglin, it was already late at night.

As soon as Chen Ying entered the door, He Yue'er said anxiously: "Chen Lang, the princess is sick!"

Chen Ying was stunned. Li Xiuning had always had good physical fitness, so how could she get sick?

Chen Ying was anxious and asked, "When did it happen?"

He Yue'er said anxiously: "Just after the princess came back from Chang'an City, the princess didn't let the imperial doctor see her. Just half an hour ago, she coughed up blood..."

Hearing this, Chen Ying rushed to the bedroom.

In history, Princess Pingyang Li Xiuning made great achievements in the world and staged a legend of men as good as men. However, the cause of her death is not recorded in history books. Neither the "New Book of Tang" nor the "Old Book of Tang" recorded her cause of death. It is said that Li Xiuning did not have any hidden diseases or hereditary diseases. It was not until February of the sixth year of Wude that a sudden record of history books was recorded. The reason why this record was recorded was mainly because her funeral was different, and she was buried with military rituals.

"The front and rear feathers and chests are promoted, the Dalu, the commander, the forty swords, and the tiger and the armored soldiers are soldier." At that time, the ritual officials raised their opinions that the use of burial of women is inconsistent with the ancient ritual system. Li Yuan refuted him, "Praise is military music. In the past, Princess Pingyang always came to the battlefield in person, led by the soldiers, beat drums and sounded gold, and was in charge of military affairs. How could there be such a woman from ancient times to the present? What's wrong with burying the princess with military rituals?" So he made an exception and buried Princess Pingyang with military rituals. According to the posthumous law, "Mingde is called "Zhao", and Princess Pingyang is named "Zhao".

When Chen Ying thought of this, he suddenly felt heartbroken. Could it be that Li Xiuning was worried that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were fighting against each other because of contradicting Li Yuan, and he was unwilling to see Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's brothers traitors, and they became sick and died without medicine?

...

The Chenjiabao complex, which is four floors high and five floors away, is majestic and spectacular. Especially at night, there is a lamp lit in each tiled eaves on the eaves, and the candlelight shines. From a distance, it looks like a golden flying dragon flying in the distant night sky.

From the main entrance to the backyard, you need to pass through Qijin courtyard and walk more than 500 steps along the corridor. Chen Ying walked vigorously and almost knocked down the maids who were coming and going. Although Chen Ying was fast, He Yue'er was faster.

Seeing Chen Ying running towards the backyard, He Yueer put away her silk skirt, jumped onto the platform, moved up and down between the eaves, and disappeared after several ups and downs.

He Yue'er later moved forward and entered the bedroom the first step.

At this time, Li Xiuning was lying on the bed, making waves of coughing sounds.

He Yue'er pushed the door and said, "Princess, Chen Lang is back!"

Li Xiuning frowned and said, "Go and tell him that I feel uncomfortable and it is inconvenient to meet today!"

A maid quickly left the house and blocked Chen Ying.

But it was too late. Chen Ying came to the corridor outside the bedroom and asked the maid, "How is the princess's body?"

The maid hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not very good. The princess hasn't eaten for a day. The imperial doctor prescribed some medicine, but she didn't take it..."

Chen should sigh: "I'll go in and see the princess!"

The maid stood in front of Chen Ying and said, "Your Highness the Princess told her that she was feeling uncomfortable, please come back!"

Chen Ying's face turned cold: "Get out of the way!"

The maid didn't move at all.

Chen Ying felt anxious and reached out to push the maid. The maid's feet seemed to have a root and could not push them. Chen Ying frowned and tried hard again, but still remained motionless.

Chen Ying said: "Get out of the way!"

The maid bowed her head and said nothing.

Chen Ying turned around and shouted at Ashinashimo, "Ashinashimo, this maid will be given to you as your wife!"

Asunasmo laughed and said, “Thank you for your kind gift!”

The maid was so scared that she was so scared that Chen Ying pushed the door open.

Looking at Li Xiuning, he said, "Sanniang, why are you doing this!"

Li Xiuning smiled bitterly and said, "Chen Lang, I just feel uncomfortable!"

Chen Ying walked to Li Xiuning, reached out to put his hand around her shoulder, and comforted him: "It's okay, I'm all there is!"

When Li Xiuning heard this, her mouth opened and closed, and her eyes were like pearls with broken threads: "Chen Lang, Nu Nu is so bitter!"

Chen Ying actually pretended that women were crying the most, let alone her own women cried.

Chen Ying sighed and said, "The person who tied the bell needs to be untied. It seems that we must ask the King of Qin to have a good talk with the prince!"
