Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 214 Ask Sun Yue to take the exam again

Just when Zhao Guangyi was obviously impatient with waiting, the craftsman finally put the detonator in the small hole he had dug, lit it, and found another stone to cover it.

Under Zhao Guangyi's unclear gaze, the craftsman ran towards them as if galloping, as if rushing to reincarnate, silently counting a few times in his heart, and then rushed to the ground .

Bong!

When there was a loud explosion, Zhao Guangyi stared dumbfounded at the boulders flying all over the sky, even several of them were blown up to his feet, so frightened that he was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

"This...this...is this still gunpowder?"

"To be precise, it should be called explosives. Second King, let's go up and see the effect."

As he said that, Sun Chunming grabbed Zhao Guangyi's hand, which was icy cold, but his feet didn't move at all.

"Are you sure he won't blow it up again? If it blows up again, the two of us will..."

"It's okay, a detonator must only blow once."

Zhao Guangyi nodded, trying to put on a calm look, but his weak legs were really embarrassing to him, and Sun Chunming almost helped him along the way.

I saw Sun Chunming pointing to the big hole on the mountain, and said with a smile: "Look, Second King, this is the power of the new gunpowder."

"Strong, it's too strong. With this thing, you only need to use a few sticks when attacking the city. How can the city not be broken?"

Sun Chunming smiled wryly and shook his head, "I'm afraid not."

"why?"

"Because of instability, the purity of nitroglycerin is still not enough, so this detonator is quite afraid of vibrations. If it is used on the battlefield, I am afraid that it will blow up itself before the enemy is blown up. If this stability problem can be solved, it is completely possible. Tied to the arrows to directly blow up the enemy's army formation, my Song Dynasty is really invincible in the world. Unfortunately, it seems that there is still a long way to go. Now it seems that he can only be used to blow up mountains and build roads, and the risk is not high. It is small and can easily injure people.”

Zhao Guangyi nodded clearly, and said: "So, the biggest use of this thing is actually to defeat Shu? That's right, this is indeed an artifact for defeating Shu."

Since ancient times, there have been three roads to enter Sichuan by land, one is the Jinniu Road, the other is the Rice Cang Road, and the other is the Yinping Trail. None of them can make people comfortable. That's it, because once in and out, it may be a lifetime.

Not to mention Yin Ping Dao, if it wasn’t for Deng Ai’s inexplicable roll, this road would not exist at all, but Deng Ai’s success is purely due to luck, and Mi Cang Dao is actually not good Wherever you go, you don't need enemy troops to guard, and you can hardly die just by crawling. Even monkeys can't guarantee 100% safety in that place, let alone fighting.

The only way that can be attacked by a large army is the way of Jinniu, but it can barely walk. The so-called difficult way of Shu is just such a way. The great poet Li Bai said it well, oh my god, it’s too difficult Let's go, walking is harder than going to heaven.

On such a difficult road to Shu, an extremely majestic Jianmen Pass was built. In front of Jianmen Pass, there were [-] large and small Mantian Villages that were said to be difficult for birds to cross. At that time, Jiang Wei used an army of [-] to drag them down. Zhong Hui didn't have any temper at all.

In comparison, the Great Wall, Shanhaiguan, the so-called majestic pass built by human beings, is nothing compared to the miracle of nature. When Sun Chunming traveled to Jianmenguan in his previous life, he felt that this place was for the people. He couldn't even defeat an armored division. How could he fall in the era of cold weapons?
Therefore, this time the Northern Song Dynasty intends to attack Shu, but in fact, the whole country has no confidence. After all, Meng Chang still has an army of 10,000+, while the Zhongwu Army responsible for attacking Shu by land has only more than 4 people. Just try, keep the goal, in fact, just push the front line to the front of the sword gate is enough.

But now with this explosive, even Zhao Guangyi, who doesn't understand military affairs, understands that Houshu is over.

No matter how impenetrable your Jianmen Pass is, if I don’t fight it, I won’t be able to do it. This is not the construction of the Sichuan-Shanxi Highway. It doesn’t require cars to be able to walk, as long as people can walk. No matter how big the mountain is, I can blow it up. Got it.

As for the instability of the detonator, it will definitely kill people. In the overall situation of conquering Shu, it is nothing. No matter what happens, it will be less dead than storming Jianmen.

Isn't such a great achievement the first achievement in defeating Shu?Such a great achievement, no matter what, can overwhelm Zhao Pu.

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed after hearing this, and said with a smile, "You have spent millions of dollars to develop this so-called explosive. Haha, it's worth it."

Sun Chunming said humbly: "If the problem of stability can be solved, then it can really be called a magic weapon on the battlefield. To be honest, I don't even know what use this thing has other than defeating Shu."

"It's enough to be able to defeat Shu, hahahahahaha, good, very good, but... Guanzhong is Wang Quanbin's territory, if this thing is directly handed over to him, it will not be a big credit. How can we get this Did you take the credit all by yourself?"

Sun Chunming sighed helplessly in his heart. For the entire Song Dynasty, it is undoubtedly the best choice to send this thing directly to Wang Quanbin. As a veteran in the battlefield, Wang Quanbin will definitely be able to maximize the usefulness of this thing. Shu called Dad.

But in this way, Zhao Guangyi can at most get a contribution to offering a treasure, and most of the credit is still on Sun Chunming. This is definitely not in Zhao Guangyi's interests. Therefore, not only cannot the detonator be handed over to Wang Quanbin, but even the news must be concealed. , try not to let him know.

As for how many soldiers would be lost as a result, Zhao Guangyi really didn't care.

This is also the reason why Sun Chunming has been reluctant to come to Zhao Guangyi to offer treasures. He originally had other plans, but in this situation, he can only be selfish for once, so Sun Chunming said: "The official thought, Xiu There is no need for the two kings to tell the Privy Council anything about roads. They only need to order one or two magistrates to choose a road to explode when Old General Wang attacks Jianmen to attract the attention of the Shu army. If ten thousand soldiers appear directly in Mianyang, the Jianmen Pass will naturally be broken."

Zhao Guangyi laughed loudly when he heard the words, but said: "Wang Quanbin has been running the place in Guanzhong for more than eight years, and there are people loyal to the military army everywhere. There are not many prefects that I can directly order, not to mention that I have nowhere to find soldiers. I'm afraid you didn't want me to share this credit with your son."

Sun Chunming hastily said: "The lower official is just raising an idea, how to make an overall plan, naturally all depends on you, the second king."

"Hehe, there is no one more suitable than him. How about this, I will let my brother send Lu Duoxun to be a transit envoy, and the prefects of the Guanzhong prefectures will cooperate with the road construction. When the road is completed, let him go with Han Chongxun. You Even though that son is young, he is also the unparalleled national scholar promised by his elder brother, so it is not a bad idea to give him a share of such credit."

"Thank you, sir, for your support, the Second Great King."

Zhao Guangyi patted Sun Chunming on the shoulder with a smile and said: "You and I, you are welcome, I remember that your son was born in Tongju, and he hasn't officially passed the Jinshi examination yet."

"Uh... yes."

"When the matter of defeating Shu is over, let him take the exam again. With his talent and learning, high school should be a good place to get something out of his bag. I am in the Imperial Academy, so I will leave him a good place. He is obviously a talented person. He spends all day in the Privy Council. What does it mean."

"This……"

"What? Brother Chun is not willing? Or do you think I will treat him badly?"

"No, no, I understand, I will tell him about this when he comes back."

Zhao Guangyi smiled and said: "Well, you are also a father, so tell him well, no matter how willful your own child is, can he really not listen to my father? Well, it's cool, my brother Don't blow the cold wind here, let's go back."

　During the November holiday, I took my wife for a two-day stroll.There are no updates for these two days.
