Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 79 This is a firecracker!

Zhao Huan, Liu Ying and others surrounded Liu Chang.

Liu Chang had ordered Shi Liuhuang and saltpeter to be ground into powder and placed in two sand jars respectively.

He ordered another pit to be dug, put the cauldron in the pit, and filled it with soil on all sides.

"Brother, stay away from me. This is my first time doing it, and I don't know if it will be successful."

Liu Chang said to Liu Ying carelessly.

"What if it fails?"

"Brother, do you still remember the ore burst just now?"

"certainly."

"This iron pot may burst and hurt everyone. This thing is very powerful, and a strong bow and crossbow cannot reach it."

"No!"

When Liu Ying heard this, not only did she not step back, but instead walked to Liu Chang's side a few steps and grabbed him, "It's so dangerous, don't try!"

Liu Chang was in a hurry, "Second brother, if this thing is made, the efficiency of mining can be improved by a hundred times! The big man will no longer be short of iron, not to mention, this thing can still be used on the battlefield, oh, second brother, you If you don't understand, just go there and watch!"

"Then I'll stand here and watch you do it."

"No, what are you messing around here?! You can't help!"

Liu Ying didn't speak, just stood aside and looked at him silently.

Liu Chang was about to speak, but found that Luan Bu had come up at some point, standing on the other side, Zhao Huan was stunned for a moment, scolding his mother in his heart, and walked to their side helplessly.Liu Chang turned around and started to operate cursingly. He lit a few saponins and threw them into the pot. Then, he set off fireworks with Shiliuhuang and saltpeter. Liu Chang waited until the fireworks could not be ignited. I hurriedly took out the charcoal to fry it, the flames were steaming hot, and Liu Chang was sweating all over.

After frying until one-third of the carbon was removed, Liu Chang annealed immediately, took out the mixture while it was not cooling, and set it on fire.

"what!"

Liu Chang looked at the mixture and exclaimed. At that moment, Liu Ying suddenly stretched out her hand, picked up Liu Chang, and threw it backwards. She moved quickly, without any hesitation, and threw Liu Chang out, and he held his head. , awaiting unknown dangers.

"boom"

Liu Ying did not encounter any danger, but Liu Chang did.

Liu Chang fell heavily to the ground, clutching his waist in pain, "Even if I fail for the first time, you can't throw me like this, ah, my waist, my back."

Liu Ying hurried to Liu Chang's side and helped him up.

"Are you all right? I thought something was wrong."

"There was nothing wrong with you before you fell on me"

Seeing that Liu Ying was so anxious that he was about to cry, Liu Chang jumped up and patted the soil on his body, "That is, I have a strong body, and I have been beaten so much over the years. Normal people can do it!"

Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief and was able to brag. It seemed that there was no problem.

Liu Chang helplessly looked at the gray-white particles he took out and shook his head, "This is not right at all. Is it too much carbon? Or is it not broken enough?"

"try again"

Facts have proved that it is not enough to know the formula. Liu Chang has been busy for four or five days. The gunpowder he makes is getting thinner and thinner, and the color can gradually match the black powder in Liu Chang's memory. Zhao Huan is alone. Find a place to store these black powder.

After making enough weight, Liu Chang decided to try its effect to see if he succeeded.

He first put the gunpowder in the chiseled ore, sealed it with a stone, left only one lead, and slowly stretched the lead to a sufficient length, and then started to ignite.

Everyone hid far away, Liu Chang also covered his ears and stared excitedly, looking forward to the explosion.

However, the lead burned to the end, and after a long time, there was no explosion.

Liu Changdu was stunned for a moment, and then waited for a long time before he stepped forward to check.

"Shouldn't it be?"

"Does it have to be put in a jar?"

Liu Chang did not believe in evil, and tried again several times.

Liu Ying and the others were not in a hurry. Zhao Huan also watched seriously. After Liu Chang said the so-called explosion method, he dared not underestimate the child. Maybe he could really do it. , I don't know which book he read it from.

"Bang~~~"

On the third attempt, with a muffled sound, the quarry belched out thick smoke and cracked several cracks. This movement scared the surrounding miners into shouting and escaping. Fortunately, A. The soldiers were not afraid, and soon forced them to kneel, and the chaos in the vicinity did not last long.

Liu Chang looked at the gap helplessly, God knows how much gunpowder he just put in, but this power, this is just a big firecracker, just listen to the sound, the lethality is too low. Liu Chang was still thinking about whether it could be Used on the battlefield, this power is not enough to scare the enemy.

The specific formula of this thing is really important, but Liu Chang doesn't dare to mix it up randomly. He is not afraid of being bombed to death, but now that his parents are still alive, if the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, how sad it would be what.

Liu Ying was stunned again. He looked at the blasted iron ore, "Does the eldest brother know how to attract lightning?"

The eyes of those princes and their relatives looking at Liu Chang are completely different. They may be influenced by Da Qin. At this moment, the people are very superstitious, and the northwest, which is the future Liangzhou area, has become the leader of Dahan superstition. .It was not until the Eastern Han Dynasty that the government began a series of rectification activities aimed at local sacrifices.

Therefore, Liu Chang's method, in the eyes of many people, is the magic of immortals!
However, Liu Chang still had a bitter face, "Why did you make a firecracker in the end? Oh, what else can be improved? Think about it, think about it."

He tapped on his temple, thinking hard.

At this time, Liu Bang, who was about to return to Chang'an, received a letter from the State of Yan.

The person who wrote the letter was of course Lu Wan. In the letter, Lu Wan clearly stated that he had made a mistake some time ago. He thought that Zhang Sheng, who was under his command, had contacted the Huns. After he executed him, he realized that there was a mistake and felt guilty. , leaving his clan, ready to compensate.

Reading this letter, Liu Bang felt a little strange.

He really knew Lu Wan too well. The two played together from birth to adulthood. After Lu Wan became the King of Yan, the correspondence between the two never stopped.Therefore, after reading this letter, Liu Bang subconsciously felt that there was a problem in it.

A few days ago, Lu Wan sent someone to deliver a letter saying that Zhang Sheng, under his command, colluded with the Huns, wanted to rebel, and planned to kill his clan.

That letter was normal, but now this letter. Although it looks normal, it didn't say a word of greeting, nor complained or complained as usual, not even a joke, the whole text was too formal, Liu Bang even wondered if it was Zhang Sheng had already killed Lu Wan and sent a letter to himself under his name?
Liu Bang hurriedly sent people to Yandi to find Zhou Bo, who was chasing Chen Xi, and let him see if there was anything wrong with Yan.

"Cough cough."

After making this arrangement, Liu Bang coughed violently, and Zhao Yao, who was beside him, hurried forward and took the medicine.

Liu Bang took the medicine and drank it.

"The imperial doctor's order said that Your Majesty must not work hard."

"I know!"

Liu Bang said angrily, and then looked at the servant of Liang Guo, who was on the side, "What kind of wine do you have in Liang Guo?"

"Yes, of course there are our famous wines here."

The servant was talking when Zhao Yao interrupted him directly. He knelt in front of Liu Bang and said sadly, "Your Majesty! Don't drink alcohol!"

"The Imperial Physician ordered that your Majesty should not drink alcohol! Don't approach women! Don't overeat! Don't work hard! Only in this way can you recover!"

Liu Bang laughed and said disdainfully: "You can't drink, you can't enter the harem beauties, you can't hold banquets, and you can't eat love meat. What is Nai Gong doing still alive? It's better to die!!"

"Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world, how can you lightly talk about life and death!"

Zhao Yao hurriedly persuaded him.

The servant of Liang Guo was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly knelt down.

This servant is the servant who betrayed the King of Liang at the beginning. When Liu Bang came to Liang, he summoned the servant and asked him to serve him. People like Zhao Yao absolutely despise this kind of betrayal. Rong's generation did not pay any attention to him at all.

"Forget it"

Liu Bang waved his hand and let Liang Guo's servant leave, and let Zhao Yao sit beside him.

"The world is finally at peace"

Liu Bang sighed, his eyes suddenly turned to Zhao Yao.

"This is all thanks to an upright minister like Yushi Zhao. However, there is one thing I really don't understand, and I want to ask Yushi Zhao."

Zhao Yao looked at Liu Bang in surprise, not knowing what he was going to say.

"You are usually upright, showing no mercy to those who make mistakes, and you can always testify in front of them, but I have heard that people under the Duke of Jiancheng seize the land and oppress Wenliang, but I have never heard of your impeachment. , why is this?"

Zhao Yao's face was pale, pursed his lips, his lips trembled slightly, and he did not dare to speak.

"Chenchen, when he returned to Chang'an, called everyone to investigate it!"

"Hahaha, what are you afraid of? I joke!"

"Hahaha~~"

Liu Bang laughed, Zhao Yao forced a smile, his face was very ugly.

"By the way, I'll leave that servant to you."

"Wei, only!"
