Chapter 72: Smashing to pieces

Several people followed Zhang Anshi’s wake to board the ship, and shortly afterward, they disembarked at the Qixia Temple ferry.

After another half mile, in the distance, a wide open space, but see a large manor house into the eyes.

“Such a big manor.” Zhu Yong said in surprise.

Although this place is close to the outskirts of the city, those who can own such a large manor here are definitely not ordinary people.

So he raised his eyebrows and said, “My father said that the art of war lies in the many bullying the few, big brother, we are too few, we have to go back to get help.”

Zhang Anshi, however, pulled him to his feet and said, “Don’t worry, big brother has his own brilliant plan.”

Zhu Yong looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Zhang Anshi said, “In this manor, there may be dozens of guards, indeed, there are a lot of people, but …… what kind of person is big brother ah, follow me is.”

So Zhang Anshi led them up a hill, on which he saw, however, Zhang San and a few fellows already looking about and waiting.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Look, let’s bomb them here.”

Zhu Yong looked around and said in amazement, “Blow up from here? That’s not right, this is at least two hundred paces from that manor, even if we have gunpowder, we can’t throw it over there.”

Zhang Anshi looked mysterious: “But we have cannons, use them to blast our way through.”

Zhu Yong looked left and right again and said, “Cannon? Where’s the cannon?”

Zhang Anshi, however, calmly nudged toward Zhang San, who then took off a felt cloth that covered the ground.

Then a huge crater was revealed.

Zhu Yong: “……”

Zhang Anshi explained, “This is an artillery that is adapted to the local conditions, look, let’s dig a pit first, then use an iron cylinder to set into the pit, isn’t it equivalent to relying on sand and soil, and then creating an artillery?”

“I tell you, our gunpowder packet is too powerful, at the moment can fire such gunpowder gun is not much, do not blow up the chamber is strange. Big brother I think about it, I had to find this earth method, the barrel of the gun is buried in the earth, so that, even if the gunpowder is powerful, blowing up the chamber, but only in the soil expansion, anyway, and you can not explain so much, fourth brother, you come …… you are the most obedient, I’ll teach you how to shoot.”

Chuson blew a bubble out of his nose in excitement, and the light in his eyes got brighter.

Zhang Anshi patiently explained, and finally said: “In short, increase the amount of medicine on the finish, to how much strength on how much strength, will be that manor to the big brother bombed, all brothers, our capital three murder, to make a name for themselves, depends on today. We not only want to teach the whole Nanjing know we powerful, this whole Jiangnan …… everyone knows your bad name.”

Zhu Yong at this time a look of resignation, drooped his head and said, “Well, well, although it is so said, but …… I would have liked to see my parents first, and then go back to the prison, but …… just, big brother, you teach again Once again, I am afraid that the fourth brother is stupid, did not learn.”

Zhang Anshi then patiently taught again.

Then he said to Zhang San, “Fetch the gunpowder.”

At the bottom of the hill, a carriage was parked in formation, and it wasn’t long before Zhang San and a few fellows, carried a few millstone-sized gunpowder packets from the carriage.

Zhu Yong looked straight at his scalp.

Stars started to rise in Chuson’s eyes again.

Zhang Anshi proudly said, “Don’t worry about the bomb, brothers, the time has come for us to do justice to heaven and punish the evil.”

Zhu Yong gave an ohhhh.

Zhang Yoking, on the other hand, honestly began to make preparations.

Qiu Song, however, picked his nostrils and pulled out a suspicious pile of stuff from his nostrils, dashingly flicked his fingertips, but looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “Big brother, go away, don’t get caught in a net.”

“Ah …… this ……”

Qiu Song said with a serious face, “Didn’t big brother say so? You can’t put eggs in one basket.”

Zhang Anshi looked at Qusong with relief, “Although the fourth brother …… said it very well, but will this appear that the elder brother is not righteous?”

Qiu Song’s eyes exposed a fierce light: “Nothing, in the future, even if the three of us cut off our heads, there will always be a big brother to burn paper money for us!”

“Good brother!” Zhang Anshi was moved.

Worthy of Qiu Song’s seed ah, this person can handle, he is really anything dare to do.

Zhang Anshi said, and ran away in a puff of smoke, vaguely throwing down a sentence, “Don’t worry, big brother has a backhand, it will be fine.”

Say rest assured when the words, the voice you say in the ear, wait until it will not be okay when …… that voice seems to have been separated by a hundred thousand miles.

By the time the last ‘thing’ was said, wiping his eyes, the person was nowhere to be seen.

Qiu Song was excited and began to follow Zhang Anshi’s method, first stuffing a millstone-sized gunpowder packet into the barrel of the earthen pit, tamping it down, and immediately afterward, threading the fuse.

And then, in this rammed packet of dynamite, and then fill in a still grindstone large packet of dynamite, this packet of dynamite wrapped more tightly, the weight than the previous packet of dynamite is even heavier.

Continued tamping.

And it is required to leave no gaps.

Finally, thread the two leads out.

Zhang yoking at the side of the jaw, said, “This explosive packet so big …… will not ……”

It was Zhu Yong who settled down, “No matter, the big deal is to go to Qiongzhou, eat sea fish, and make do with the Li women in this life.”

Zhu Yong’s words fell.

The impatient Qiu Song then has taken the fire folders, and first lit the first gunpowder packet that was filled in.

Zhu Yong’s face went white and he said in horror, “Damn it, Fourth Brother, why don’t you let us prepare.”

They know the power of the gunpowder packets.

Zhang Yoking smart, has been a moment to roll over, hiding in a small depression in the distance, leaving only an ass arching outside, head buried into the earth depression.

Chuson started counting, “One, two, three, four, five ……”

Count to twenty.

It was only then that he slowly and calmly lit the fuse of the second powder packet.

A few moments later.

Boom.

The entire hill began to tremble.

Fire came out of the iron cylinder that was embedded in the mound.

The first gunpowder packet gave off a tremendous amount of energy, instantly ripping apart the iron barrel inside.

Fortunately, this iron cylinder was buried in the earth, and after the inner earth was blown up, instead of falling apart, it was tamped down by the enormous energy.

At the same time, this tremendous energy wildly impacted the second powder packet pressed against the top.

The powder packet poofed and parried.

Nitrous.

The hills still seemed to be still trembling.

Zhang Yoking hid in the depression, only to feel that his head was buried by countless falling debris and dust, today’s dose of this gunpowder, at least several times as much as before, he only felt tinnitus and palpitations.

It was hard to pull his head out of the dirt, all he could feel was the smoke and dust in the sky, and he couldn’t control the tears that poured down his face.

Zhang yields a roar.

But his voice, it seemed, could not carry far.

The booming sound was still vibrating in his ears repeatedly.

When the smoke slowly dispersed a bit, he saw Zhu Yong, who had fallen like an octopus on the ground.

Zhang Yoking rushed to Zhu Yong like a madman.

Zhu Yong roared, only his roar, when it reached Zhang Yoking’s ears, was as slight as a mosquito’s whisper.

“Quickly …… take a look …… at the fourth brother, the fourth brother ……”

Zhang Yoking was jolted when he heard this.

Right! Fourth brother was never very smart in the first place …… this guy don’t ……

So Zhang yoked against the direction of that smoke and stumbled to find someone, shouting under his breath, “Fourth brother, fourth brother …….”

But see the depths of the source of the tremor.

Amidst the smoke and mirrors.

Dust fluttered like snowflakes.

The clothes on a teenager …… have been distorted by the impact.

But the teenager still stands.

The young man stood straight, his dull eyes, however, seemed to pierce through the smoke, forever gazing in the direction from which the gunpowder packets had been thrown, and there was still light in his eyes at the moment.

That projected gunpowder packet, like a parabola, finally fell into that large manor.

Originally, the accuracy of such ‘artillery’ was almost non-existent, and the only advantage was that it could have a range of just two hundred paces.

However, this Zhuangzi is already huge, and thus …… as long as the direction is correct and the power of the launching charge is sufficient, it will definitely hit the target squarely.

A few moments later, the packet of gunpowder that had fallen into the manor made a roar two hundred paces away.

The next moment, a ball of fire rose violently.

It was followed by smoke and mirrors.

Zhu Yong, the three of them, stood on the hill with their gray heads, staring with big eyes, looking at the manor house that was caught in flames, and had sucked in a breath of cool air.

…………

Farther out.

Here, Zhu Jin gathered with dozens of bookkeepers and treasurers of his brother shipowners.

They included both executives from Brother Ship and partners like Zhu Jin, who had extremely close ties with Zhang Anshi.

Early in the morning, they were invited to come, and privately muttered about what this Zhang Gongzi meant by inviting them here today.

Soon after, Zhang Anshi was seen sprinting over from the direction of the manor, panting and out of breath.

After standing still, Zhang Anshi began to lecture, “Did you see that manor? It is said that the owner of that manor is very remarkable, and their family has made a great fortune in Songjiang and Suzhou.”

Zhu Jin and other people look at each other, Qixia Temple Shen Jiazhuang Shen family, how can they not know? It is said that the relationship is through the sky, deep connections, and Songjiang and Suzhou side of the government’s relationship is also excellent, Yingtianfu where …… I heard there is also involved.

This is not one of the guards of the Han King’s House, although the Han King’s House is powerful, but after all, that Liang Wu, is only a small military officer in the Han King’s Guard.

But the Shen family is different, the roots of the Shen family are deep, their family, even dating back to the Song Dynasty, whether it is the Song, Yuan or the current Great Ming Dynasty, they can be as rich as the sun, rich and powerful, visible in the roots of this Shen family.

Just see Zhang Anshi continued: “But in my eyes, they are nothing, I Zhang Anshi business, only seek justice, and most hate is someone to send disaster wealth, I also heard that many people have gone to the county court and Yingtianfu sued the Shen family, the result is that none of the people are willing to do the Lord for them.”

“Hmph, what others dare not manage, today we, the three murderers of the capital, will manage, as well as our Marquis Wu’an Mansion. In this capital, there is still someone who dares to not give face to our Marquis Wu’an Mansion, I will smash him.”
