027. Mine test in open space

Zhao Dongting came to his senses and was also amused and crying at himself. He was so happy that he had just said that he was "blessed to the soul" and he said it.

He touched his nose and said, "Everyone can give me a gift..."

The kneeling people stood up, and then stared at Zhao Dongting like a monkey.

Even with Zhao Dongting's face, he couldn't resist it, so he hurriedly took Li Yuanxiu and Yue Peng to get on the horse and left.

When I returned to Benzhou Island, it was already dark.

Zhao Dongting told Yue Peng to remember to arrange for someone to go to the ferry to receive the porcelain jar, so he took Li Yuanxiu back to the palace.

The next morning court.

The ministers reported that they had nothing to do, and Zhao Dongting ordered the Minister of Revenue Chen Jianghan to buy nitrate, sulfonium, charcoal and other things, and then announced that the court would be dispersed.

These are the raw materials for making gunpowder. Although there are musket teams and gunpowder reserves in the imperial guards in the Palace Front Session, it is still far from enough to make 30,000 mines.

After the court dispersed, Zhao Dongting went to the weapons workshop again.

He taught the craftsmen how to create landmines, and asked Yue Peng to bring all the troops of the guards and infantry to learn.

There are not many craftsmen on the island of Benzhou. They rely on them alone. If they want to make 30,000 landmines, they don’t know when they have to go.

In this way, the entire Benzhou Island seemed busy.

The thunder-making, the training, the recruitment of soldiers, and the migration of migration are lively all day long.

Two more days later, the craftsmen and the guards and infantrymen learned how to create thunder. However, the porcelain jars that could be used on the island of Benzhou were almost used up.

Zhang Shijie and the others have long been itchy, and they just want to know what the gunpowder gourds that Zhao Dongting tinkered with are of use.

After the morning dynasty that day, the ministers had not left yet, Zhao Dongting said, "You are my dear friends to see my secret weapon?"

He was still a little proud.

Zhang Shijie and the others immediately showed great enthusiasm.

In this way, a group of civil and military officials followed Zhao Dongting to the weapons workshop.

Zhao Dongting took out a few porcelain jars of mines from inside, and then took his ministers out and went to the open space.

Although the guards and infantrymen and craftsmen made thunder in the past two days, they had never tried this thing. They were also very curious and followed Zhao Dongting to see it.

Soon, the open space was full of people. Even when Yang Shufei heard the news, she hurriedly brought Ying'er and Yang Yidong over.

Zhao Dongting buried several mines under a big tree, then used thin wires to pull the leads, and retreated carefully.

He still felt unsteady after retreating about ten meters. He held the thread in his hand and said to everyone: "Retreat, retreat, retreat."

Everyone became even more curious, and felt that their hearts were like a cat's claws scratching, feeling very uncomfortable.

In this way, he retreated tens of meters away.

Zhao Dongting stopped and laughed, "Everyone covers his ears."

He was certainly a little proud of his heart after working hard to build this landmine, waiting to see the stunned appearance of these ministers.

Lu Xiufu and the others were puzzled, but they all covered their ears as they said.

Zhao Dongting held the thin line with his right hand, blocked his left ear with his left hand, and pulled the thin line suddenly.

This is Lare, who learned it in the movie Mine Warfare.

Everyone stared at me.

However, the thunder did not sound.

Zhao Dongting was stunned, everyone was stunned.

In the past two seconds, everyone put their hands down, and Zhang Shijie asked: "Master, this is..."

He was the most curious about Zhao Dongting's secret weapon, but he didn't expect it to be like this.

Zhao Dongting felt a little embarrassed, "This...maybe this thunder didn't..."

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

Before he could finish his words, he could hear several loud noises.

The stones and mud splashed in the mines in front of them. The big tree was also blown off by its roots and fell to the side.

Zhao Dongting's head buzzed, and then Yue Peng next to him was pressed under him, "Your Majesty, be careful!"

But the power of land mines is still limited.

They stood dozens of meters away, except for the burning pain caused by someone being hit by the broken mud, they were not seriously injured.

Zhao Dongting shook his head, feeling a buzzing sound, and smiled bitterly in his heart. If he had known, he would have not made so many thunders and would have suffered.

Seeing that nothing happened, Yue Peng got up from Zhao Dongting and looked at the uprooted tree and the deep pit that was blown out of the ground.

The edges of the deep pit are covered with black marks of burning gunpowder.

All the ministers and the guards and the craftsmen were all stunned and silent.

"This...this..."

After a while, Lu Xiufu reached out and pointed at the exploded pit, but couldn't speak.

He was already surprised and shocked.

Zhao Dongting's head was no longer so buzzing, and he smiled and said, "This is my secret weapon, but the thunder's medicine was slower just now."

The Song Dynasty naturally could not create electric current igniters. Earth thunder such as Zhao Dongting was made of two flammable chemical substances.

Its principle structure is no different from land mines during the Anti-Japanese period.

But this power was enough to shock these ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty.

After finally coming back to his senses, Zhang Shijie and the others were all full of surprises.

Chen Wenlong shouted in a crying voice: "It is expected that my Song Dynasty will destroy the Yuan Dynasty!"

Because of excitement, Chen Jianghan even blinked and could not stop. He could even clamp the mosquitoes.

Immediately afterwards, many old ministers started to cry.

Zhao Dongting looked speechless. What he couldn't stand was that these courtiers cried at any time. However, many people in this era were like this, and he had no choice.

Concubine Yang Shu's pretty face was full of surprise, and she asked Zhao Dongting dullly: "Xi'er, did this?"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "I'm studying this weapon in the weapons workshop these days."

Concubine Yang nodded slightly, "You just... said it was called Lei?"

"Um!"

Zhao Dongting replied: "This thing is so powerful that it is so powerful that it is so close to Thunder, so the child gave it this name."

Zhang Shijie cried beside him, "The emperor's heaven's resources are really the blessing of my great Song..."

Su Liuyi also said: "I have such a powerful weapon in the Song Dynasty, and I will definitely be able to kill the Yuan thief without leaving any armor!"

Suddenly, there were continuous compliments.

"You all obey your orders!"

Seeing that the ministers were in high confidence, Zhao Dongting took advantage of the situation and shouted: "From now on, all departments and departments are ready to prepare for the war, and the soldiers will step up their training. If Zhang Hongfan and Li Heng dare to invade, they will definitely bury them in this vast sea!"

The ministers shouted long live the mountain at the top of their lungs.

Seeing the power of "thunder", they also had a blazing flame of hope for the Southern Song Dynasty.

At this point, the morale of the army is initially decided.

But Zhao Dongting was not idle. After the ministers left, he returned to the weapons workshop and taught the guards and infantry how to lay mines.

These guards and infantry are his confidants. Landmines are of great importance, so he dare not let others know how to use landmines.

In the afternoon, Su Quandang hurried to the weapons workshop in armor and asked for a visit.

Zhao Dongting knew that he was arranged by Su Liuyi to recruit soldiers, so he should be very busy. He heard the guards say that he was asking for a meeting and was quite confused.

But he still asked the guards to bring Su Quandang in.

Su Quandang went near to kneel down on one knee and said to Zhao Dongting: "Your Majesty, I will report something."

Since seeing the power of the landmines, he has also been pleased with Zhao Dongting.

Zhao Dongting asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Quandang was a little embarrassed, "A woman came from the recruitment camp and insisted on joining the army."

Zhao Dongting frowned, thinking about how Su Quandang came to report this little thing. He really didn't know the importance of it. He said lightly: "I didn't tell Lord Su that those who join the army still have parents at home need to leave one person to take care of their parents; both parents at home have died, but those who have young younger siblings also need to leave one person to take care of their younger siblings; and it also means that women are not allowed to join the army. What are you going to report to me for this little thing?"

Su Quandang said distressedly: "But she said this woman...she said she knew you."

"Know me?"

Zhao Dongting was also surprised, "I stayed in this forbidden palace and almost never went out. How could a woman know me?"

Then he suddenly remembered something, felt energetic, and said, "Take me there and have a look."

Su Quandang hurriedly led the way in front.

Li Yuanxiu followed Zhao Dongting, who is now almost Zhao Dongting's full-time bodyguard.

Walk all the way down the mountain to the temporary recruitment camp.

Some middle-aged men were queuing up to register, but there were not many people. There was a little girl with colorful signs standing there and looking particularly eye-catching.

She is a little baby fat, she looks fifteen or sixteen years old, very delicate and cute. She doesn't have to think about it, she will definitely become a beautiful woman who will be charming in the future.

Her color discernment has also led the trend of the times at this time.

But Zhao Dongting looked at her but didn't even have any impression of it. He thought that the cold female assassin was coming to join the army.
