I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

In the end, it was impossible to fight, not to mention the promotion of the title, it is estimated that there will not even be a few rewards.

If you want to say the most disappointed, then it must be Xia Yuanji.

He also counted on beating Ah Sanguo, robbing a wave of Ah San dignitaries, and returning blood to the Daming Household Department.

Ah San common people only have a few coins in their pockets, and the real rich are those rich and powerful.

As a result, they all surrendered, and the money could not be robbed.

For this reason, he was very depressed and regretted in his heart why he didn't go at the beginning.

If he had been there during the negotiation and prevented the thirds from having a fight, he would have been sorry for his position as Minister of the Household Department.

Although everyone was a little puzzled by the Said Dynasty's choice of surrender, it is also a happy thing to be able to take over a big country safely.

As for the three requests made by the other party, the old man agreed with all of them with a stroke of a pen.

The dignitaries of the Said dynasty wanted to see the affairs of the Ming army, and the old man readily agreed.

As for military exercises or wars, he discussed with Zhu Zhangui and finally decided to carry out military exercises one by one.

The reason why the military exercise was chosen was because it was the three who fought the war. If the killing was too ruthless, there would be a grudge among these people, and it would be troublesome to manage in the future.

So the grandfather and grandson discussed it and chose a slightly more stable military exercise.

After deciding on the way to display military power, the old man asked Yang Pu to go again, and confirmed with the other party where the military exercise was and when it was scheduled.

Yang Pu's trip was very fast, and he came back in just a few days.

This time he didn't go to Said Palace, but met the Minister of State at the dock on the shore.

The Saeed's minister of state told him that Hazel Khan had made arrangements.

In order to prevent innocent Ming soldiers from dying, the Saeed dynasty still wanted to watch a military exercise.

The two coincided with each other, and Yang Pu happily set the location and time of the military exercise with the other party.

After determining the location and time of the military exercise, Daming began preparations.

The old man attaches great importance to this action of showing military power in front of the younger brother.

He solemnly told Zhang Fu, the commander-in-chief of this military exercise, to show the strongest side of the Ming army.

Although it was a pity not to fight, Zhang Fu was quite happy to be able to show the military power of the Ming Dynasty in front of foreigners.

After a night of research and discussion, the order of the military exercise was finalized.

The exercise is divided into three phases.

The integrated Shenji Battalion will go ashore first on that day, and hold an army formation demonstration and an attack demonstration on the shore!

Naval bombardment followed, and the Marines conducted landing maneuvers.

In the end, the two sides held a general parade on land, showing Ming's serious military discipline and tenacious military quality, and ended.

However, for safety reasons, the old man will not participate in this exercise in person, and Zhu Zhangui will participate in this military exercise as a representative of the Ming royal family.

And in the follow-up, complete the joining ceremony with the Said Dynasty, and discuss the subsequent plan to attack the entire Asan.

But before that, the old man decided to go to the military exercise after celebrating the new year.

The day when Yang Pu confirmed the location and time of the military exercise with the other party, it was already December 13, 12.

At that time, Yang Pu was also thinking about the Chinese New Year, and pushed back the time of the military exercise, thinking that he would let the soldiers finish the Chinese New Year first.

The Minister of State Affairs did not refuse, after all, they were not ready, and the army in their hands was still a little weak.

The two parties gathered together and agreed to start the military exercise on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the 14th year of Yongle, which is the Shangyuan Festival in Ming Dynasty.

Yongle 13 December New Year's Eve.

Zhu Zhangui came out of the room in surprise.

In this month's selection of commodities, chemical products were actually drawn. Zhu Zhangui remembered that they should be the raw materials of fertilizers and powerful agents for increasing grain production.

But it still needs some processing, what he extracts is only the original chemical materials.

The name is ammonium nitrate.

For the name of this material, Zhu Zhangui always feels very familiar, as if this thing can not only produce fertilizer, but also make other things.

But in his previous life, he didn't study agriculture, nor had he ever worked in a chemical company, so he really didn't know much about it.

As for the chemistry I learned in school, well, that knowledge has long been returned to the teacher.

"Ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate, what can this thing do? Why do I always feel like I've overlooked something!"

Zhu Zhangui scratched his head and walked towards the banquet hall.

Tonight's New Year's Eve, the old man decided to spend it with the soldiers.

Fires were set up in the huge open space.

The fat sheep were roasted by the fire, and the hot sheep fat dripped into the fire below, making a sound.

The soldiers gathered around the fire, waiting for the mutton to be cooked, or roasting the seafood in their hands, chatting and laughing loudly, or singing the songs of their hometown loudly.

"His Royal Highness, Happy New Year!"

"His Royal Highness, New Year greetings to you!"

Along the way, the soldiers who saw Zhu Zhangui greeted each other warmly and wished the New Year.

Although he was thinking about ammonium nitrate in his mind, Zhu Zhangui still smiled and nodded at the soldiers. At the same time, Hu Yu, who was following behind, distributed candy and snacks to the soldiers who paid New Year's greetings.

When he arrived at the main banquet venue, Zhu Zhangui's face almost froze with laughter.

One or two people is better. The densely packed soldiers along the way gave him New Year's greetings, and their smiles made his expression stiff.

Zhu Zhangui can swear that all the years in his previous life added up, he didn't have as many New Year greetings as he heard tonight.

"Husband, why did you come here? Grandpa is waiting anxiously."

As soon as Zhu Zhangui arrived at the main venue, Zhao Linger, who had been on the sidelines, greeted him quickly.

According to the rules, on such an important occasion, female scrolls cannot appear.

But in this foreign country, with only Zhao Linger and a few maids, the old man was afraid that they would be bored, so he directly allowed Zhao Linger to attend the banquet.

"There is something delayed!"

Zhu Zhangui, who was still thinking about things, replied with a smile.

Afterwards, the two stepped forward and greeted the old man who was hugging the little guy and chatting with Yang Pu, Zhang Fu and Xia Yuanji beside him.

"Meet grandpa, I wish grandpa good health!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, get up, get up."

Regarding the grandson's lateness, the old man didn't ask much, he cheerfully asked the two to get up, and then asked Little Snot to present the reward he had prepared.

After the two saluted and thanked each other again, the New Year's Eve banquet officially began.

The palace guards who had been prepared outside for a long time, and then heard the little snot shouting, when His Majesty's official banquet officially started, they quickly lit the fireworks prepared by Zhu Zhangui.

Beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky.

Every beautiful firework blooming in the sky will cause the soldiers to burst into cheers.

The little guy who has always liked this thing, even more excitedly slapped his hands, and pulled the old man to point to the sky, saying which one is beautiful.

The old man also cheerfully agreed, agreeing with the little great-grandson's words.

And below, Zhu Zhangui, who was holding a wine glass and preparing to toast the old man, looked at the fireworks exploding in the sky, his body jerked violently, he slapped his thigh excitedly, and shouted.

"I remembered that ammonium nitrate smokeless gunpowder can not only be used as fertilizer, but also as explosives. It's very powerful!"

In an instant, the originally lively banquet was shocked and quieted down by Zhu Zhangui's loud roar.

The old man and all the generals and ministers looked at Zhu Zhangui suspiciously, not understanding how crazy Zhu Zhangui was when he was doing well.

Chapter 197: A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other!

Ammonium nitrate is a solid chemical material, colorless, odorless, and white transparent crystal.

In addition to making fertilizer, it is also a more powerful explosive than black powder.

Due to the low cost, all the fertilizers in the last century were produced by this thing.

It's just that this thing will react when it is heated or bumped.

Coupled with the high illiteracy rate at that time, many accidents occurred even though the bags were written with warnings prohibiting fire and beating.

Ammonium nitrate fertilizer will agglomerate when exposed to moisture, and the common people are less literate and do not understand any chemical principles.

It is customary to roast it with fire or hit it with a hammer.

then.

boom!

So from a few years ago, this thing has been listed as prohibited for sale.

Touching his chin, thinking excitedly about his few memories, Zhu Zhangui was very excited.

Although he has used various methods to raise Daming's black powder to the extreme, but the power of black powder is still a bit weak.

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the Thunderbolt thrown by the soldiers. It looks like a small watermelon. It can't be thrown very far by ordinary people, and the explosive power is average.

If the iron shell is not well made, it will almost be two or three halves after the explosion.

Not to mention killing the enemy, at most it would scare the enemy.

Therefore, it is imperative to replace black powder with a new gunpowder, or to increase the power of black powder.

But Zhu Zhangui didn't study chemistry. In addition to knowing about mononitrate, two carbon and three sulfur, he also knew that adding some sugar into it would make a big Yin Wan.

But the problem is that there is no white sugar in his supermarket, and he only knows a little about how to filter brown sugar.

He told the artisan camp what he knew, but he hasn't researched it yet.

Although there is chemistry in the new science, it has only just become popular now, and within a few years, there will be no effect at all.

Zhu Zhangui himself doesn't like to study, and some of his subordinates are learning from others, so he doesn't bother to learn.

It may take a while to learn a new one, and the supermarket can't get it, and I am too lazy to learn it.

Just when Zhu Zhangui thought it might take some time to use black powder, the supermarket master finally showed his power again.

"Husband!"

Zhu Zhangui suddenly yelled madly, which startled Zhao Linger, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull Zhu Zhangui's clothes to calm him down.

Zhu Zhangui, who was called back to God by his wife, looked around at the people who looked at him in doubt, and smiled apologetically.

"Sorry everyone, I just remembered something, and I'm a little excited, please forgive me!"

"it's okay no problem…"

Everyone quickly shook their heads.

You are a grandson, let alone yelling and dancing with bare buttocks, we dare not blame you.

The old man raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.

"New thing!"

Zhu Zhangui returned a confirming look.

The old man understood in seconds.

Smiling to the crowd.

"The child may still be thinking about government affairs, and his mind is distracted for a while, which disturbs everyone's interest. Come, come, let's continue to drink!"

Everyone said they didn't dare, and raised their glasses to continue drinking with the old man.

Thinking of the usefulness of the item, Zhu Zhangui couldn't sit still.

Several times when someone offered a toast to him, his expression was in a daze.

I kept thinking in my mind, how powerful would ammonium nitrate mixed with black powder be?

The old man who noticed this scene knew that Zhu Zhangui might have important things to do, so he waved at Zhu Zhangui.

"Okay, you little bastard, you don't care if you're here, so hurry up and get busy if you have anything to do!"
