Chapter 220 Let Sun Yue take the test again
Just when Zhao Guangyi was obviously waiting for impatience, the craftsman finally put the detonator in the small hole he had chiseled, then lit the fire, and found another stone to cover it.
In Zhao Guangyi's unclear eyes, the craftsman ran towards them like a rushing horse, and his posture was like he was rushing to reincarnate. He silently counted a few in his heart, and then rushed to the ground with a fierce look.
Bong!
A huge explosion came, and Zhao Kuangyin watched the gravel flying all over the sky in amazement, and even several of the gravels exploded to his feet, which scared him so much that he sat on the ground.
"This...this...this is still gunpowder?"
"To be precise, it should be called explosives. The second king, let's go up and see the effect."
As he said that, Sun Chunming grabbed Zhao Guangyi's hand and was cold, but there was no movement at all under his feet.
"Are you sure he won't blow it up again? If you blow it up again, we both will..."
"It's okay, a detonator must be able to blow it up."
Zhao Guangyi nodded, trying hard to pretend to be calm, but his weak legs were really embarrassing to him, and Sun Chunming almost helped him over.
Then Sun Chunming pointed to the big pit on the mountain and smiled and said, "Please look at the second king, this is the power of new gunpowder."
"Strong, too strong. With this thing, just use a few pieces when siegeing the city, which city will not be defeated?"
Sun Chunming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid it won't work."
"Why?"
"Because of unstableness, nitroglycerin is still not purified enough, so this detonator is still afraid of vibration. If you use it on the battlefield, you may have to stab yourself before you can blow the enemy. If you can solve this problem of stability, you can tie it to an arrow and directly blow up the enemy's military formation. My Song Dynasty is really invincible. Unfortunately, it seems that it is still a long way to go now. Now it seems that he can only use it to bomb mountains and build roads, and the risk is not small, so it is easy to blow and hurt people."
Zhao Guangyi nodded in a clear way and said, "So, the biggest use of this thing at present is actually to attack Shu? Yes, this is indeed a magical weapon to attack Shu."
Since ancient times, there have been three roads entering Sichuan on land, one is the Taurus Road, one is the Micang Road, and the other is the Yinping Road. No one can make people feel comfortable. The so-called "no one to enter Sichuan but never leave Sichuan" is said, because one in and out, it is likely that it will last for a lifetime.
I won’t talk about Yinpingdao. If Deng Ai hadn’t been inexplicably rolled away, this road would not have existed at all. But it was really just luck that Deng Ai could succeed. Yonekuradao was not much better. It would be hard to kill people without the enemy’s guarding. In that place, even monkeys could not guarantee 100% safety, let alone war.
The only thing that can be attacked by the army is Taurus Road, but it can only be walked by barely. The so-called Shu Road is difficult, and it is said that the great poet Li Bai said it well. Oh my god, it is too difficult to walk, and walking is more difficult than going to heaven.
On such a difficult-to-go Shu road, an extremely majestic Jianmen Pass was built. In front of Jianmen Pass, there were 108 large and small villages, which were said to be difficult to cross. Jiang Wei used 30,000 troops at that time, but Zhong Hui had no temper at all.
In comparison, the Great Wall, Shanhaiguan, and the so-called majestic pass built by man forcibly cannot compare to the magical skills of nature. When Sun Chunming went to Jianmenguan in his previous life, he felt that he could not even defeat this place even if he had an armored division. How could he lose it in the era of cold weapons?
Therefore, the Northern Song Dynasty intended to attack Shu this time, but the whole country had no confidence. After all, Meng Chang still had an army of more than 100,000, while the Zhongwu Army responsible for land attacks Shu by land had only more than 40,000 people. To put it bluntly, this is just a try. Conservative targets are actually enough to push the front line to Jianmen Pass.
And now with this explosive, even Zhao Guangmei, a man who doesn’t understand military, understands that Hou Shu is over.
No matter how solid you are in Jianmen Pass, I can't just fight? This is not a Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway. It doesn't require cars to walk. As long as people can walk, it's enough. No matter how big a mountain is, I can just explode 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, there are fewer people who are dying from the Jianmen Pass.
Is such a great achievement not the first achievement of attacking Shu? Such a great achievement can defeat Zhao Pu no matter what.
After hearing this, Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed and smiled and said, "You have spent millions to develop this so-called explosive, haha, it's worth it."
Sun Chunming said modestly: "If the stability problem can be solved, it can be called a battlefield artifact. To be honest, I don't know what this thing has to do other than attack Shu."
"It's enough to attack Shu, hahahahahahaha, OK, very good, but... Guanzhong is Wang Quanbin's territory. If this thing is handed over to him directly, the contribution will not be great. How can I take this contribution into monopolizing it?"
Sun Chunming sighed helplessly. For the entire Song Dynasty, sending someone to Wang Quanbin directly is undoubtedly the best choice. As a veteran on the battlefield, Wang Quanbin can definitely use the use of this thing to the extreme and beat Houshu to call him father.
But in this way, Zhao Guangyi will at most gain a treasure gift, and most of the credit will be on Sun Chunming, which is definitely not in line with Zhao Guangyi's interests. Therefore, the detonator cannot be handed over to Wang Quanbin, but also has to conceal the news and try not to let him know.
As for how many soldiers who will lose in vain, Zhao Guangyi really doesn't care.
This is also the reason why Sun Chunming was reluctant to come to Zhao Guangyi to offer treasures. He had another plan, but now in this situation, he could only be selfish. So Sun Chunming said: "The officials thought that the two kings would not need to say anything to the Privy Council in such a matter of road construction. As long as they ordered one or two prefects, when General Wang attacked Jianmen and attracted the attention of the Shu army, they would choose any road to explode. At that time, they would send 10,000 soldiers to appear directly in Mianyang, and Jianmen Pass would naturally be broken."
Zhao Guangyi laughed when he heard this, but said, "Wang Quanbin has been operating the Guanzhong area for more than eight years. There are people from the Zhongwu Army everywhere. I can't directly call the magistrate, let alone I have nowhere to find soldiers. I'm afraid that you don't want me to give it to the son."
Sun Chunming hurriedly said: "The official is just asking for an idea. How to coordinate the planning, it is naturally up to you to make a decision."
"Haha, there is no one more suitable than him. This way, I will ask my brother to send Lu Duosun to be a transshipment envoy, and the magistrates of Guanzhong states cooperate with the road construction. When the road is completed, let him and Han Chongxun go. Although your son is young, he is also an unparalleled national scholar whom his brother personally agrees. It is not impossible to share such a contribution."
"Thank you, the two kings, for your support."
Zhao Guangyi smiled and patted Sun Chunming on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to be polite between you and me. I remember that the son was a child and had not officially relied on a Jinshi yet."
“Uh…yes.”
"When the attack on Shu is over, let him rely on it again. With his talent, high school should be a fucking treasure. I am in the Hanlin Academy, so I will leave him a good place. I am obviously a talented man, so what's the point of having sex in the Privy Council all day long?"
"this……"
"What? Brother Chun doesn't want to do it? Or do you think I will treat him badly?"
"No, no, no, the official understands. I will tell him about this when he comes back."
Chapter completed!
