Amidst the sound of "crash", a piece of gravel fell down. The closer the stone was, the bigger it was, and the further away the stone was, the smaller it was.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang was far enough away to watch the small stones hit the ground as far as he could see in front of him.
The other ministers were also frightened. The noise just now was too great, and it seemed that the cannon fire was not that powerful. What, just stuff it in a little, that's all?
They felt right. Two taels of nitroglycerin was worth sixty taels of the best black powder made in Xiaqiu Village.
Sixteen taels are one pound. What cannon can hold nearly four pounds of gunpowder at one time? This damn thing isn’t going to explode?
When the smoke cleared, a sergeant approached cautiously, investigated and reported back to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Let's go and have a look closer." Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved and walked over first.
As we got closer, a hole was made in the wall, and many fragments of stone rollers were inserted into the mound.
"Why is this? The stone roller exploded!" Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a stone and finally understood the power of the new gunpowder.
"Long live my lord, how could such a sharp weapon be faked in the hands of others?" Hu Weiyong took the opportunity to speak out.
"You know how? What would you do if it were yours?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and asked.
At this moment, he was dissatisfied with the left and right prime ministers. He wanted to balance the situation and choose familiar people to help him govern.
Just like Li Longji in the Tang Dynasty, he chose Yao Chong as his prime minister and then changed him in various ways.
Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang didn't know about such a conspicuous operation.
Obviously! Hu Weiyong is Yao Chong, and Wang Guangyang is Lu Huaishen! .
Liu Ji and Li Shanchang saw clearly and ran away quickly! In the end, they didn't run away because they didn't lose contact with other people.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang had more powerful people helping him secretly, he began to think about how to deal with Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang.
This is the reason why Zhu Wentian does not want to reveal his identity. Once he comes face to face with Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's mind will immediately change.
It’s not just Zhu Yuanzhang, all great men are the same, there is no room for stupid people.
If the founding hero of the country refuses to retire, who will be killed if you don’t? However, every dynasty is a reincarnation, and the result is that the founding hero was killed because he couldn't see through it.
"I don't know how to do it. Please take control of this." Hu Weiyong still followed the historical path. Human character is not easy to change.
"What's next?" Zhu Yuanzhang endured it and buried his dissatisfaction in his heart.
"To blow up the wall, the new gunpowder used in the stone roller is 2 liang, and there are also five kilograms a bag, and I want to blow up the wall." Someone came to report.
"Five pounds? If you change the place, the Prince's Mansion can't be blown up." Zhu Yuanzhang was finally afraid.
Two taels of medicine exploded like this, five kilograms, is it going to send Chunhe Palace to the sky?
Prince Zhu Biao also felt that he should change his position. His home could not be destroyed. Two taels of gunpowder looked like this, five kilograms...
So Zhu Yuanzhang and others left the palace and headed east and north. There were no houses here, it was all mountains.
Zhu Wentian followed, feeling a little regretful. He wanted to blow up Zhu Biao's outer wall and replace it with reinforced concrete.
A group of people came to the location of the enemy's outer city wall during the previous battle. There was no point in demolishing the city wall after the battle.
The best section in front of us is the city wall that is one foot and two feet high and thirty meters wide. This is the best part. It would take a lot of money to win this place in a normal battle.
"That's it! Try it!" Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see the effect of siege.
Zhu Wentian placed four five-pound bags of nitroglycerin and mercury pyrotechnics by himself, very seriously.
"Yichang, why do you let Hanhan go by himself?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked the chief with a sullen face.
"Your Majesty, the people who guard the village have the best luck. If others do the same thing, they may make one mistake a hundred times and they will be finished.
If Hanhan does it, he should succeed only once a hundred times. If he does it, it will be successful.
He has no distracting thoughts. Look at his movements, how natural they are? Just like when a person enters water, the more afraid he is of water, the more likely he is to drown. "
The director had already memorized the words he had communicated with Hanhan before and spoke them out now.
There was nothing he could do. That thing was too scary. No one could guarantee that it would be fine. One mistake might take away a group of people.
"Is that so? It makes sense!" Zhu Yuanzhang actually agreed. Indeed, fools don't think too much.
Zhu Wentian placed four five-pound nitroglycerin bags under the thirty-meter city wall, set the distance, placed the pyrotechnics, and then pulled four leads back with calculated lengths.
The lead lengths are the same, but the distance looks different, but they are actually the same.
After he came back, he quietly made a three sign to the director and continued to extend the lead.
"Back three hundred steps, hurry up, it will be too late to ignite it." The commander shouted.
Everyone retreated one after another. Those who had experienced the previous two taels of explosives regretted their lives. A total of twenty kilograms were placed here.
The shield bearers stepped forward to help withstand the impact.
Zhu Wentian agreed that it was no exaggeration. One hundred and fifty milliliters of liquid nitroglycerin was hammered and exploded. The shock wave was visible to the naked eye, and the shock wave was within a radius of 60 meters.
Now this one, boom, pray!
The lead was connected all the way, the guards helped, and the final ignition was in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.
"Your Majesty, if the defensive measures are in place, we can take action." The commander said guiltily.
"Click...click!" Zhu Yuanzhang had experienced so many battles and was feeling a little weak now.
"Hanhan! Light the fire!" the resident shouted to Hanhan.
"Yeah! Point! Boom~~" Zhu Wentian shouted, then looked at the distance, took a deep breath, lit the fuse, then picked up two shields and rushed towards Li Chang and Zhu Yuanzhang.
He pushed the others aside and stood in front of the two of them, taking a step forward to make room for the prince.
The lead wire was burning, and without any delay in the process, it disappeared by the wall over there.
'Shua' light flashed, and when the fire was burning, the sky above the flames was distorted, and the shock wave at this time was even more so.
'Boom~~~' The ground trembled immediately, and then everyone felt their ears buzzing and the ground continued to shake.
This feeling is more serious than the pain in the ears when an elevator descends rapidly or the altitude of an airplane suddenly drops.
In pain, everyone saw that the city wall, which was more than thirty meters wide and one foot high, flew away and turned into pieces.
Then the dust started to fly, and it seemed like he was in a trance just now.
Twenty kilograms of nitroglycerin from the Ming Dynasty detonated simultaneously on a thirty-meter-long wall, no big deal.
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hand on Hanhan's shoulder, which felt very solid. It would have been better if he wasn't short of breath.
This shock wave swept through, everyone's internal organs trembled, and their ears kept ringing.
Zhu Wentian did it on purpose, otherwise he would have told everyone to either shut up and cover their ears, or turn around and open their mouths without covering their ears.
How would you know the power of nitroglycerin without experiencing it yourself? Is this a joke?
Everyone felt that their breathing was different. It was not until the dust fell and they saw that the wall was gone that they were glad that they had escaped and survived.
"Is this, is this the power of Bai Gong's skills?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale and red, and his heart beat faster.
The commander recovered quickly. He trusted Hanhan, but he was also shocked: "Your Majesty! Are you okay?"
