According to the evaluation, the power of one gunpowder particle gunpowder has reached the power of two to three gunpowder powder gunpowder, the range is increased to 200 steps, and the killing distance reaches 100 steps to 120 steps.
This is a qualitative leap for Huo Gun!
Xu Huizu was very excited. It was conceivable that when facing the Mongolian cavalry, the gunmen equipped with granular gunpowder could kill them a hundred steps away. When they were weak and the formation was loose, the Ming cavalry and infantry swarmed up and won. Can be expected!
Zhu Yunwen said solemnly: "The Gunpowder Department specializes in the preparation of granular gunpowder. After the reserve scale is formed, it can be distributed to the three major camps. The outer guard station of the capital is not allowed to distribute granular gunpowder. Remember, granular gunpowder is the top secret of the Ming Dynasty. If anyone leaks secrets, I will investigate to the end and show no mercy!"
Xu Huizu shuddered when he heard these cold words. It was obvious that once this method was leaked, Zhu Yunwen would probably kill off his descendants.
But if you think about it carefully, such an important military weapon must be held in the hands of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be spread to outsiders!
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that all the people in the Second Artillery Bureau are loyal to the Ming Dynasty."
Lu An expressed his stance solemnly, and other teachers swore their loyalty.
Zhu Yunwen's face softened and he said: "There is no end point in the journey of gunpowder. Now that you have mastered the method of preparing granular gunpowder, all that is left is to use your brains and find ways to increase the speed. Let's take this grinding as an example. , the craftsmen’s grinding speed is too slow, and the manpower is limited, let’s consider whether it is possible to divert water and build a waterwheel, so that the waterwheel can drive the stone mill to rotate day and night?”
"On both sides of the river embankment, there are waterwheels to draw water. Is it possible that the craftsmen in the capital don't even have this skill? And this sieve, can we make a bigger sieve? It is easy to find a piece of iron and carve out detailed holes... …”
"The materials are ground, mixed, mixed with gunpowder mud, scraped pills, moistened pills, dried, and sealed to form a one-line preparation method to increase the preparation speed."
Zhu Yunwen took out the idea of the assembly line and re-planned the operations of the Gunpowder Department. It was not until Xu that he handled it properly and left the Gunpowder Department.
Xu Huizu accompanied him on one side. Seeing Gu Sanshen and others lagging behind, he asked curiously: "How did the emperor know those methods?"
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Xu Huizu and said with a smile: "Wei Guogong, there is a great scholar among the chefs. As the governor of the Chinese Army, in your free time, you might as well go to the kitchen to practice your cooking skills, knead gunpowder paste and noodles. Isn’t it the same method?”
Xu Huizu was depressed.
Does the majestic Duke want to cook? How unbecoming is this...
"Your Majesty, the chariot has arrived."
Gu Sanshen stepped forward and said.
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said to Xu Huizu: "Come on the chariot with me."
"This... I obey your order."
Xu Huizu was very excited.
On the chariot, Zhu Yunwen looked at Xu Huizu and asked: "The White Lotus Sect caused trouble in Dingyuan, and Qu You's family in Qiantang disappeared. Duke Wei, what do you think?"
Xu Huizu looked solemn and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have thought about this matter and felt that there is a hand that is invisibly controlling the White Lotus Sect. Judging from Dingyuan's intelligence, Mr. Gujin, who has never appeared, is probably very To be rich is to be noble, or to be rich is to be noble.”
Wealth, having financial resources, can drive people to work for them.
Noble, powerful, and able to drive people to serve him.
"Who can you think of?"
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Xu Huizu shook his head and said: "There is no more evidence at the moment. We can only rely on speculation and cannot find the real Mr. Gu and Jin."
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
There was silence in the chariot, and Zhu Yunwen was drowsy.
"Your Majesty, we have passed the ten-mile long embankment."
At some point, Zhu Yunwen was awakened by Gu Sanjian's voice. He opened the curtain and took a look and said, "Go to the Criminal Department."
Xu Huizu looked at the tired Zhu Yunwen and couldn't help but sigh and said: "The emperor should take care of his dragon body and rest more. It's getting late today, but we can go to the punishment department tomorrow."
Zhu Yunwen moved his sore neck and said softly: "I can't wait until tomorrow. Is Wei Guogong interested in meeting someone?"
Xu Huizu's pupils condensed slightly and said: "Qu You?"
Zhu Yunwen clenched his fists, cheered up, and said, "Yes, he should explain something."
Xu Huizu knew that Qu You was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and that he had been tortured without explanation. Seeing that Zhu Yunzhen seemed somewhat sure, he couldn't help but become curious and said: "If possible, I am willing to go."
The chariot stopped.
Xu Huizu and Zhu Yunwen stepped off the chariot, and Gu Sanshen had already sent someone to knock on the door of the Criminal Department.
Bao Zhao and Hou Tai, ministers of the Ministry of Punishment, heard that the emperor was coming and led people to greet him.
After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Yunwen waved his hand to exclude everyone, and said to Bao Zhao, "How is Qu You?"
Bao Zhao summoned Liang Tianyu, a doctor from the Ministry of Punishment, and after asking a few questions, he said to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty, Qu You is a person from the Security Bureau who is personally protecting you. The Ministry of Punishment has not temporarily increased the sentence for interrogation."
"Take me to see it."
Zhu Yunwen said.
Bao Zhao frowned and advised: "Qu You is a repeat offender of the imperial court, and the place where he is imprisoned stinks. The emperor is of a noble body, how could he..."
"lead the way."
Zhu Yunwen didn't listen to what Bao Zhao said.
Bao Zhao glanced at Xu Huizu and motioned for him to say something. Xu Huizu shook his head slightly, and Bao Zhao had no choice but to lead the way himself.
In the dungeon, the stench was overwhelming and the humidity was unbearable. Zhu Yunwen saw a huge rat eating a prisoner's finger, but the prisoner did not move at all.
"What crime did he commit?"
Zhu Yunwen stopped and asked sideways.
Bao Zhao looked at it carefully and replied: "Your Majesty, this man's name is Hu Dun. He is a thief and gold captain. He steals tombs everywhere. The government has failed to catch him for many years. Last month, he showed up at Tianjie Temple. , was captured by the eminent monk of Tianjie Temple during the theft, and was turned over to the Criminal Department."
"It seems that the eminent monk of Tianjie Temple is not only profound in Buddhism, but his kung fu is also better than that of the court officials."
Zhu Yunwen said with a deep look.
Bao Zhao was shocked and said hurriedly: "It's also because the punishment department is short of manpower and this person is very slippery, so..."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Gu Sanshen and said, "Bring this person to the Security Bureau and train him. I will be useful."
Gu Sanshen was a little surprised. Seeing that Zhu Yunwen was serious, he nodded. When he raised his hand, a dart flew out and nailed the mouse to the wall.
Bao Zhao was a little dissatisfied and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, this person is a sinner and should be punished by the Ming Law!"
"How about locking him up for three years?"
Zhu Yunwen asked rhetorically.
Bao Zhao looked at Zhu Yunwen, wondering what he meant.
Zhu Yunwen said seriously: "I want this person, and I will exile him to the sea. Within three years, he will probably not be able to return to the Ming Dynasty. How about it?"
Bao Zhao sighed helplessly and said, "In that case, I just obey the order."
Zhu Yunwen needs a smooth person. When he goes to dig potatoes in the future, there is no one who can run away. How can he steal things from the primitive tribe...
"Your Majesty, this is Qu You."
Gu Sanzhen pointed at the man in the cell, staring blankly and trembling slightly.
Zhu Yunwen raised his hand to signal the security bureau guards to get up and asked, "He hasn't rested?"
"Back to the Emperor, I have never let him rest for a moment since he took the order."
Guard report.
Zhu Yunwen nodded with satisfaction and said, "Open the cell door."
The cell door opened, and the security bureau guards entered first. They checked the chains on Qu You to make sure there was no danger, and then stood beside Qu You.
Zhu Yunwen, Xu Huizu, Gu Sanshen and Bao Zhao entered the cell.
"Qu You!"
Zhu Yunwen took a step forward and shouted sharply.
Qu You trembled violently, his eyes a little wandering, looking at Zhu Yunwen, his body swaying, the chains rattling, and shouted: "Who are you? Who are you?"
Zhu Yunwen changed his tone and said calmly: "Who am I? Can't you see clearly? I am Mr. Gu and Jin!"
"Mr. Gujin?"
Qu You stretched his head and looked at the blurry shadow in front of him. He couldn't distinguish anything. He took a step forward, staggered and fell to the ground, shouting: "Mr. Gujin, I didn't explain, I didn't say anything."
Zhu Yunwen knew that Qu You was hallucinating due to extreme lack of sleep and injuries, so he followed suit: "You didn't say anything, that's good, I saw your loyalty. But Dingyuan You exposed my identity, and the court is already tracking me down!"
"Impossible, I have not been exposed, the court will never think of you, sir."
Qu You shouted.
"Why can't you think of it? You have forgotten that not everyone can have the Yanling Sword!"
Zhu Yunwen's voice became stern.
Qu You's voice became lowered, as if he was struggling with something, and he said: "The imperial court traced the Yan Ling Dao, but they couldn't find it on the gentleman. The more they trace, the safer the gentleman will be."
Zhu Yunwen's eyes became sharp.
Yan Ling Dao is a misleading trap!
Could it be said that Mr. Gu and Jin behind this is not the King of Zhou, but someone else?
"You know my ambition, right? How do you think I can achieve great things?"
Zhu Yunwen asked slowly.
Qu You shook his head. He was confused and his consciousness was a little scattered. He held on to his energy and said: "One eye of the stone man could instigate the Yellow River to rebel! Sir, imitating the old things at the end of the Yuan Dynasty... can make people's hearts wander and the world be in trouble." …Then, and then, trouble can be expected.”
"I want to go to Beiping Mansion, how long will it take to get there?"
Qu You felt a splitting headache and could no longer control it. He shouted: "We will be here in half a month. We will seize Peiping and conquer the Central Plains."
"Okay, in your opinion, who can be my most trusted general?"
Zhu Yunwen asked in a low voice.
Qu You shook his head, as if he wanted to say the name, but then gritted his teeth to stop, and finally slammed into the ground and passed out.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Qu You who fell on the ground, with a bit of unwillingness in his eyes. Qu You's strong will was extremely rare. Even under hallucinations, he still had the energy to keep secrets.
He was not asked to say who Mr. Gu and Jin was, but was asked to reveal the name of the general, which actually made him wary.
As for what he said about half a month's journey to Peiping?
This range is a bit large.
From Kaifeng to Peiping, you can get there in half a month if you travel normally; from Nanjing to Peiping, you can get there in half a month if you work hard; from Daning to Peiping, you can get there in half a month.
Half a month, huh, this range is no different from saying nothing.
Gu Sanshen looked at it in surprise. He didn't expect that it was possible to interrogate prisoners in this way. This deprived them of sleep and allowed them to reveal their secrets. Yes, the Security Bureau could learn from this trick.
The Security Bureau does not have the authority to arrest and interrogate people, but it can be modified to block the person in a room and prevent him from sleeping. Even if the Minister of Punishment comes, we are still open-minded. First, we do not arrest the person, and secondly, we do not interrogate. If you don’t believe it, look at it. …
Bao Zhao and Xu Huizu understood that someone wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
If we just get rid of Zhu Yunwen, it will at most be a matter of competition among bosses. If we want to get rid of Daming, it means tearing down and starting over. All the people currently on the job will have to be laid off and diverted...
Xu Huizu firmly disagreed. It was related to his job and salary. He must find a way to find Mr. Gujin and trample him to death.
I'm so angry that someone is ruining lives for their own selfishness?
Is it tolerable, which one is intolerable?
"Your Majesty, please hand this person over to the Ministry of Punishment. I will use all means to force him to tell who Mr. Gujin is!"
Bao Zhao gritted his teeth.
Zhu Yunwen arranged for someone to pour a bucket of water for Qu You. Looking at Qu You who came to his senses, Zhu Yunwen said coldly: "It doesn't matter who Mr. Gujin is. The important thing is that his existence can alert me and tell me that I am still here." When there are enemies, when it comes to politics and running a country, you must not be careless or lax!”
