my brother champion

Chapter 169 Hand over the gunpowder formula!Huo Guang's reward

Immediately leave?Go north to attack Hungary?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che frowned slightly. Although he wanted to send troops as soon as possible, he didn't think about sending troops so early, so he said, "I'm afraid we have to wait."

"At least get out the 'Flying Thunder' you mentioned first, and see how powerful it is."

"I called you here precisely for this gunpowder, and what kind of explosive package recipe?"

Hearing the words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, Huo Guang calmed down a little.It seemed that I was right in thinking that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had come to him for gunpowder.

Fei Lei Cannon wants to succeed.

It can be said that it is inseparable from the two key things of gunpowder and explosives.

What's the use of just building a cannon body?

Huo Guang frowned slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of attacking the Huns cannot be delayed. Earlier you said that about the General, some internal thieves leaked secrets to the Huns, so there must be no delay."

"The Huns know that you want to deal with them!"

"They will naturally take defensive measures, and the more time passes, the better their defensive measures will be."

Of course, Huo Guang's active promotion of the war against Hungary cannot be because of his enthusiasm for war, but because he is thinking about how to get himself out.

Originally, there was not much resistance to participating in the Han-Hungarian War.

Because he knew that Wei Qing's army would win, and it would be a big victory, the kind of frontal battle.

If he followed Wei Qing at this time, he would surely be able to receive military merit.

But the problem is!

It's too cold.

Although spring has arrived, the temperature in the Central Plains has begun to rise and tends to be warmer.

But this is the Central Plains.

The places where the Huns went north were mostly grasslands, and the weather was very cold, which was far from comparable to that in the Central Plains.

This is the case.

Let Huo Guang go out with the army?
Wouldn't that freeze people to death?

It just so happened that His Majesty was going to use the Thunder Cannon, so Huo Guang naturally wanted to grab this life-saving straw and find a reason for himself to stay.

then.

Huo Guang thought of urging His Majesty to send troops, and then he stayed in the name of flying thunder cannons to get the best of both worlds.

Unfortunately!
Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only asked him for gunpowder and the method of making explosive packs, and did not intend to let him stay to produce Feilei.

This act!

Huo Guang was also surprised, so he asked: "Your Majesty, the production process of this flying thunder cannon is difficult. Why don't you transfer me from the barracks to be responsible for producing this?"

Transferred here to produce Feilei?
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Huo Guang, then at Wei Qing.

Shaking his head immediately, there is no need to keep both of them here, and immediately said: "This, I don't think it will be necessary."

"Just tell me the recipe for gunpowder and how to make ammunition."

"If you really want to participate, then draw me a design of the Feilei Cannon. The craftsmen here are the best in the country, and there is nothing they can't make!"

Hearing what Emperor Wu of the Han said, Huo Guang couldn't help but glanced at the craftsmen in the house.

I don't know if it was because I was angry because I was not left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so I despised these craftsmen.

As for what to despise?
Huo Guang thought, His Majesty said that there is nothing they can't make, so if you have the ability to make a lamp, a mobile phone, or a photolithography machine, try it?

of course.

Just complaining in my heart.

Let ancient craftsmen make modern things, isn't that difficult for others!

"Your Majesty, the gunpowder formula is actually very simple. There are only three ingredients: saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal powder. However, the proportion must be controlled well, otherwise the effect may not be satisfactory." Huo Guang said lightly.

gunpowder.

It's important, but it also depends on who uses it.

Was gunpowder underdeveloped in the Ming Dynasty?

Some gunpowder guns have been produced, but they have still reached the point where the country is broken.

After hearing this, Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, looked a little surprised, and said, "It turns out that the formula of gunpowder is so simple. Why has no one discovered it before? How did you discover it, Huo Guang?"

Huo Guang immediately said: "Your Majesty, some people discovered it before, but they were all alchemists. Most of them used this kind of thing to make fire and refine medicine. I also learned this kind of thing occasionally from some strange people."

"As for the explosive pack used as the ammunition for the thunder cannon"

"May I ask your Majesty if there is any paper, ink, brush and inkstone here? I can draw a design drawing for you."

The craftsman has an ink fountain on his body, but there is really no such thing as paper, ink, brush and inkstone.

but.

This is Chang'an, and the craftsmen don't have it, so why can't the emperor let people buy it?
Immediately.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said to Huo Guang, "Wait a moment."

The words fall.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arranged for Huo Guang to get the paper, ink, brush and inkstone he wanted, all of which were the four treasures of the study.After Huo Guang got it, he spread out the paper on the table, then ground it and drew.

Traditional dynamite pack.

Most of them are like in film and television works, boxy, like bundles of tofu.

This is because at the beginning, in order to keep up with the production volume, the troops let all soldiers learn to make.But there was a problem at that time, that is, the general education level of the soldiers was not high. If they were asked to make explosive kits, it would be difficult for them to make them beautiful.

then.

Some people suggested that it is enough to tie the explosive packs like tying bedding.

Marching quilts are basically bundled in a square shape.

then.

The image of this explosive bag in film and television works is mostly this kind of boxy thing.

But in fact.

It's just an ordinary pack of dynamite.

Like the unconscionable cannon, the ammunition used is indeed explosive packets, but he is not bundled in a square shape.

Instead bundle into a ball!
otherwise.

How did the boxy explosive pack get kicked out of the gasoline barrel?
Huo Guang drew the design of the explosive package and handed it to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It also included the production process of gunpowder and explained in detail what saltpeter and sulfur were.

The land of the Central Plains lacks sulfur.

But it does not mean that there is no sulfur at all. Huo Guang even marked the possibility of sulfur in certain places to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Not really.

Then it can only be purchased in the countries of the Western Regions.

When Emperor Wu of the Han got what he wanted, he immediately laughed and said, "Okay, Huo Guang, I did not misunderstand you. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

reward?

Huo Guang's eyes lit up immediately, he didn't expect that there would be a reward for this matter!
So he asked, "Your Majesty, just reward me with freedom. How about letting me leave the barracks and return to Chang'an?"

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "This is not a reward!"

"Besides, is there anything bad about being in Nandaying?"

"Or, are you afraid of bloodshed in battle, so you dare not follow the army to go to Mobei?"

"rest assured!"

"This time, your elder brother Hussar General will be the main force. The enemy he faces is very dangerous."

"I'll tell you the truth, the Southern Camp is actually just a cover to confuse the opponent!"

The words of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to be comforting Huo Guang.

But after hearing this, Huo Guang was helpless.

What can Emperor Wu of the Han know, and still feint to confuse his opponent?

Others don't know things, so Huo Guang, a future man, still doesn't know?As a feint attack, Wei Qing's army encountered the main force of the Huns as soon as they set off, and they fought fiercely.

On the other hand, the elder brother, General Hussars, had many elite soldiers and strong generals, and he did not meet the main force of the Huns.

Relatively speaking.

On the contrary, it is much safer.

But Huo Guang can't tell this to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, right?If you say it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked himself how he knew it, wouldn't it be revealing?
thought here.

Huo Guang shook his head slightly, and said very brazenly: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of danger, if it is impossible, send me to the Peking Camp. It is so cold, I will not be reconciled to running to make a feint!"

however.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che directly refused Huo Guang's request, "No, I promised your brother to let you stay in Nandaying, safety is the priority."

"Your brother's expedition this time has important strategic goals and must not be distracted."

"All right."

"I have thought of a reward for you."

"Back when your elder brother first went to war, he made great achievements as Captain Piao Yao. Now, I will also give you this honor, and let you be promoted from Dubo to Captain!"

Is this also called a reward?
Huo Guang was dumbfounded!
Good guy!
Feelings are all stuffed, why did you have to ask yourself what you want before.
Seeing that Huo Guang didn't speak, Uncle Wei Qing hurriedly reminded him: "Huo Guang, don't thank Your Majesty yet."

resignedly.

After taking a reward he didn't want, Huo Guang had to greet him with a smile, and said, "Mr. Huo Guang, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Emperor Wu of the Han nodded immediately, and said: "Well, don't talk nonsense about what happened here today. This place is the most important place in the country, do you understand what I mean?"

Huo Guang replied, "I understand!"

It looks like a large blacksmith's shop here, but it is indeed an important place of the Han Dynasty, as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said.

Why do you say that?

Because the hundred steelmaking technology was developed here, like the ring sword and black iron armor used by the army all came from here.

now.

Because of Huo Guang, this place began to produce such cross-age weapons as heartless cannons.

Can be imagined.

The secrecy and importance of this place cannot be overstated.Talk nonsense, but it will lose your head.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty saw Huo Guang's reply, he immediately nodded in satisfaction and said, "Okay, that's all for today's talk. If I have time later, I'll talk to you again, and you can step back!"

"promise."

Huo Guang bowed his hand, bid farewell to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, followed the envoys who brought him earlier, and retreated here.

He glanced at the bustling Chang'an City.

Huo Guang sighed in his heart, coming and going in a hurry, he couldn't stay in Chang'an City for a while, and had to go back to the barracks again.

Here.

Following the envoy, Huo Guang was about to leave the gate of Chang'an.

suddenly.

He heard a familiar voice.

"Old Cousin, I finally found you, woo woo woo!"

Cousin?

In the city of Chang'an, the only one who can call himself that, needless to say, is the Marquis Wei of Yichun.

Huo Guang stopped immediately.

Seeing Mrs. and Mrs. Wei's mournful face, he suddenly wondered, "Uncle Wei, what's wrong with you? Could it be that there are still people in Chang'an who dare to bully you?"

Bullying Mrs. Wei?

joke.

He himself is not only the Marquis of Yichun, but also the eldest son of General Wei Qing. As long as Wei Qing is alive, who would dare to bully Wei and his wife!
Even Prime Minister Li Cai, the head of the hundred officials, would not dare to come!

Mrs. Wei shook her head when she heard the words, "Old Cousin, no one in Chang'an City dares to bully me, it's just that my mother..."

talking.

There was a sound of crying in Wei's voice.

Seeing this, Huo Guang frowned and said, "What's wrong with Auntie?"

Then Wei Wei said: "My mother's body may not be able to hold on anymore. Huo Guang, do you know where my father has gone? I can't find him no matter how hard I look. Mother said she wanted to see my father."

in discourse.

Mrs. Wei couldn't jump up all of a sudden, and cried out.

It is said that men do not cry easily, but they have not reached the sad part.

Marquis Wei of Yichun, who had always had the title of Little Overlord in Chang'an City, couldn't help but burst into tears at this time.

Huo Guang immediately comforted him: "Okay, Mrs. Wei, don't cry, uncle is here."

"Cough cough!"

Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by the coughing of the envoy sent by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Huo Guang looked at the messenger suspiciously.

At this time.

The envoy stared at Huo Guang vigilantly and said, "Captain Huo, don't forget what His Majesty told you before leaving!"

What did His Majesty say?
Oh!
Confidential.

Now General Wei Qing is accompanying Emperor Wu of the Han to make that flying thunder cannon. The importance of that place is self-evident, so don't talk about it.

heard.

Huo Guang took another deep look at the envoy.

At first, he thought that this envoy was just the one who led the way for him, but now that he thought about it, it might not be that simple.

It may also mean to monitor yourself.

really.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che never trusted anyone, not to mention an outsider like Huo Guang, not even his own crown prince Liu Shi.

otherwise.

There will be no loss of children in old age.

As an emperor, let alone a hero like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che, it is normal to be mean and unkind.

We must know how famous the Wei and Huo families were when Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were still alive!

Ke Wei and Huo are no longer behind.

Wei's house was cleaned up, and Huo Qubing couldn't even pass on an incense stick.

Although Huo Qubing's incense was cut off, it had nothing to do with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

But it is true that the Wei family was cleaned up.

Huo Guang couldn't help frowning, and under the watchful eyes of the messenger, he changed his words and said, "I don't know where my uncle is. I'm at Nandaying, and I haven't seen him for a long time. I heard that he was transferred away because of something." to the South Camp."

Hearing Huo Guang's words, Mrs. Wei was disappointed.

And Huo Guangnian thought that when he first came to Chang'an, his aunt took good care of him.

No matter what.

He should also be filial, so he said: "Uncle Wei, let's go, I will accompany you to see your aunt."

The words fall.

The annoying emissary warned again: "Captain Huo, Your Majesty wants you to return to the camp as soon as possible, don't delay!"

however.

However, Huo Guang glanced back at the envoy, and snorted, "Don't talk about Colonel Huo, I don't know you well. My court is based on filial piety. If you have any objections, you can go to His Majesty and tell me!"

"Weibo."

"Let's go, let's go back to the General's Mansion!"

While talking, Huo Guang pulled Wei Wei back to the general's mansion.

Ever since Jiang Chong, the embroidered clothes envoy, made his way in Chang'an City, dignitaries, relatives and others dared not drive the horse-drawn carriage in Chang'an City.

The only means of transportation in the city is the sedan chair.

Huo Guang and Mrs. Wei were sitting together in a sedan chair, and could not be persuaded by the emissary, so they returned to the General's Mansion.

When I saw my aunt.

I saw my aunt lying on the bed with nothing in her hands, but she couldn't help reaching out to caress the quilt and the edge of the bed, sometimes stretching out her hands to the air, her fingers splitting and closing together, like twisting threads.
