Chapter 43: Blowing Up the Sky

At this time Zhang Yoking said, “Then I will go to my brother’s military camp and steal gunpowder.”

Zhang Anshi shook his head, “No need, I have it here, last time I confiscated your gunpowder, after my brother went home, I did re-refine it, of course, this is purely academic research.”

This is not a lie, Zhang Anshi has always been interested in the study of gunpowder, of course, this is just a personal hobby.

Who in two lives doesn’t know the power of gunpowder.

However, after studying the gunpowder brought by Zhang Yoking last time, Zhang Anshi discovered many problems with Ming gunpowder.

On the one hand, the ratios of saltpeter, carbon, and the like were wrong; in later times, but anyone with a modicum of chemical skill could pronounce the ratios of one sulfur, two nitrate, three charcoal, and the like, aloud.

But for the ancients, in fact, they could only rely on the experience of the craftsmen to match the ratio, such as the gunpowder brought by Zhang Yoking, the proportion of charcoal was too large to react adequately.

Another problem is the problem of too many impurities in the gunpowder, because it contains too many impurities, which also greatly affects the power of this gunpowder.

Zhang Anshi made some improvements to address this problem, on the one hand by making a more reasonable ratio, and on the other hand, by increasing the purity of different materials when raw materials were extracted.

Having solved these problems, it is clear that it is not enough …… because even the most perfect black powder is limited in power.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, in this gunpowder, mixed with some sugar, is not a good saying? One sulfur, two nitrites, three charcoal, add a little sugar big Ivan!

This white sugar greatly enhances the power of gunpowder.

Of course, nowadays in Daming, there is actually no white sugar yet, and real white granulated sugar did not appear until the Jiajing period.

However, this problem is actually not too big, the process of making white sugar is very simple, and can be solved by simply using the yellow mud and water to decolorize sugar method.

It’s just that this thing, it’s easy to make, but it’s a little hard to take it out and try it out.

Now, finally, it works.

Zhang Anshi looked dotingly at Qusong and said, “I have a kind of gunpowder here, do you dare to try it?”

Qiu Song stared at Zhang Anshi woodenly, “Why don’t you dare? I am righteous.”

“If, and I mean if, if something goes wrong, will you give me up?”

A bubble of air under Qiu Song’s nose ruptured, and he mouthed, “I am not such a person!”

Zhang Anshi sighed: “really good brother ah, but you remember, we only scare people, do not hurt people, we rely on this first sound to capture people, not to teach you to harm people’s lives, you know?”

After thinking about it, Qusong said, “I know.”

So after the people agreed, after two days, they assembled early in the morning.

First, they burned yellow paper as brothers in the courtyard of the Zhang family and drank chicken blood together.

Then, Zhang Anshi took two of his own carefully formulated explosive packets and hung them on Qusong’s body, patting him on the shoulder, “If you fight with one punch, you can’t avoid a hundred punches, today, we, the Two Fierce Men of the Capital, want to show people that we are not to be bullied!”

Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking looked at the two gunpowder packs hanging from Qiu Song’s body, their faces were a bit unnatural with fear, but they coincidentally said, “Yes, yes, listen to big brother.”

Qiu Song’s typhoid seems to have not yet healed, still always blowing bubbles out of his nose, he sniffled, “Not the second murderer in the capital, now the third murderer in the capital!”

Zhang Anshi crossed his thumbs and said with a look of admiration, “Good job, it’s all about having the courage to go forward like this, third brother, you’re very promising, keep it up.”

At that moment, the four set off.

When he walked out of the center door, Qusong suddenly had a lurch in his body and didn’t move.

Zhang Anshi urged, “What is it, go.”

Qusong was silent for a moment, tilting his head in thought, “I was thinking, you guys won’t lie to me.”

Zhu Yong was anxious and stomped his feet, “What kind of words are these, we all made brothers and swore an oath, would a brother lie to his brother?”

Chuson thought about it and thought it made sense, “Oh.”

………………

Zhang Anshi’s four men arrived at a small mansion not far from Fuzimiao.

At this time of the day, since it was early in the morning, there were very few pedestrians on the streets.

This small house is the Liang family house that Zhang Anshi and the others inquired about.

At this point, the doors to the place are closed.

Zhang Anshi crossed his arms and cursed under his breath before pointing at Zhu Yong’s three men, “Son-of-a-bitch Liang Wen, aren’t you usually very cross? If you’re so capable, come out and fight them if you have the guts!”

Zhu Yong: “……”

Zhang Yoking: “……”

Chuson: “……”

Cursing, Zhang Anshi turned his head to the three brothers behind him and said, “Alright, big brother is hungry, let’s go eat an early breakfast first, you guys carry on, and remember this for me, no one can bully our Capital City Two Fierce.”

Qiu Song held the gunpowder bag and said, “It’s the three murderers of the capital.”

“Right.” Zhang Anshi said, “In short, big brother won’t allow it, well, you guys continue.”

Saying that, he left in a puff of smoke.

It’s not that Zhang Anshi is not righteous, it’s just that he knows that eggs can’t be put in one basket.

Most importantly, one’s brother-in-law was the crown prince, and one could not discredit him.

Zhu Yong’s trio was different; those who could really walk sideways in the Yongle Dynasty were precisely after the likes of them as Honshu ministers.

That Liang Wen at first was Zhu Gaoxu’s generals, and so on followed Zhu Gaoxu into Nanjing, was appointed as the Han King, then also entered the Han King’s House as a hundred officials.

King Han treated his men extremely well and could even be described as indulgent.

But all of his Han Wangwei’s people are extremely sheltered.

Because of this, in the city of Nanjing, Han Wangwei’s people have always been lawless, even if they have committed a crime, as long as the Han King intervenes, Yingtianfu’s people do not dare to control them.

So naturally, Liang Wen also took the opportunity, relying on the prestige of the Han Wangfu, let his brother Liang Wu do business, accumulate wealth, but also in Nanjing, set up a family property, and even raised a few concubines.

However, Liang Wen’s heart knows very well that such a situation can not be supported for a long time, as long as the king of Han is the king of Han, then sooner or later, he will have to return to the feudal land.

At that time, he, the military officer of the Han King’s guards, also had to follow the Han King to go to Yunnan, and the flowery world of this Nanjing City would have nothing to do with him.

This was also why, one by one, the entire Han Wang House was full of hope that Han Wang would become the Crown Prince.

The other day, his brother was beaten half to death, and these people were so arrogant and domineering that they actually dared to say something about beating the Han King.

Han Wang knows, really burst of anger, to him only explained one thing, this capital city two murder …… identity is certainly not trivial, but about the capital city two murder of other people, there is no need to be polite, hard to clean up is.

Leung Man was ordered to do so, and of course, he rubbed his fists.

So he was impatient with a cadre of people, began to nuisance in the dock, but all the capital of the two murderous deep relationship with the ship, at every turn is to smash, those who are dependent on the capital of the two murderous boat workers, then randomly beat, anyway, as long as there is the king of Han, who can not do anything about them.

These days hurt like hell, and under a strong sense of revenge, Liang Wen was also able to take a bite out of his brother’s ass.

Last night, he invited his dozen or so subordinates to drink at home, and in the early morning, drunkenly woke up, when he heard someone outside cursing, and the door panicked and came in to say that someone is a nuisance.

At this moment, Liang Wen was on fire, and immediately opened the door and came out with a dozen or so of his brethren.

So …… he saw three teenagers standing in the doorway, one of them imposing, with all kinds of greetings for his mother in their mouths.

Liang Wen knew where the other party was coming from at a glance, who was it if not the rumored two murderers of the capital?

These are the same people who beat up his family’s brother in the first place, right?

Liang Wen is aware of the inside information, these three people’s identity is not ordinary, harming their lives is absolutely not dare.

However, the other party provoked to his head, he also must not fall Han Wang’s prestige, really fight, as long as moderate, beat these people a meal, have Han Wang as a backer, but also no harm.

After thinking about it, he stared coldly at Zhu Yong’s three men and said sternly, “Are you the ones who claim to be fighting the Han King?”

Zhu Yong crossed his arms, “So what if it is.”

“Say that again!”

“The one who fights is the King of Han!”

Liang Wen looked furious, in fact, he was waiting for these words, so he called out, “Brothers, His Highness King Han usually takes care of us, what are you waiting for, give me a fucking fight!”

A command.

A dozen or so stout old Han Wangwei pawns did not hesitate any longer and were about to charge up.

Although Zhu Yong and Zhang Yoking are not afraid of the sky and the earth, looking at the situation in front of them, they are also a little worried.

On the contrary, at the back of the duo, the stupefied Qiu Song, unhurriedly removed a hanging gunpowder packet, and took out a fire fold, blowing towards it, which immediately emitted a red light.

And then, pointing the firebrand at the fuse of the gunpowder pack.
