Royal Gold Magistrate

After traveling for several days, the water route turned land, and the group from Taoyuan Town finally arrived in Yintuo.

A total of 20 people were sent to Taoyuan County for this trip. These 20 people were the first miners who participated in the development of asphalt mines and had rich experience in using gunpowder.

And strong and strong, with excellent physical strength.

Although it was daytime in Yintuo at this time, the sky was extremely gloomy, with heavy rain pouring down and silver snakes dancing wildly.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, this is different from what they said when they came here...Didn't they say Xiaoyu!

This rain is not considered light rain at all.

Captain Ding Kai had a gloomy face, and shouted at the team members: "Everyone check the equipment again! Oil paper, sleeves, gunpowder and lead wires, and make sure they don't get in the water! Otherwise, this encounter will be in vain! The task assigned by the county magistrate It must be done satisfactorily!"

"After going back, everyone will be rewarded with 1000 taels of silver!"

"it is good!!!"

The rest of the team members responded one after another.

Seeing that the morale was good, Ding Kai turned his head and glanced behind him...the guard team of more than 200 people behind him was said to be recruited by merchants from Taoyuan County.

These people are not simple, they are all tall and energetic, no less than miners like them.

Fortunately, so many people came to move the gunpowder to the mountain... Otherwise, if you want to go up the mountain according to the rain, you may be useless if you want to go back and forth.

The leader of the guard was Cheng Si, who was arranged by Guo Tianyang with Emperor Jing's handwritten letter, and changed into plain clothes to escort Ding Kai and others.

At first contact with Chengsi, he still looked down on these mud legs from other places, but after a few days of contact on the boat, he found that these people are not simple!

Taking off his clothes, he is a strong and muscular body, and when he is bored on the boat, he can compete with his own people without losing strength. You must know that these people like yourself are also first-class players in the inner guard!

The competition of strength can only be divided [-]-[-] with these people, which is enough to see that it is not easy, and then put away the contempt.

Seeing that the rain was far beyond imagination, Cheng Si walked up to Ding Kai and said, "Old Ding! Can we continue?"

Ding Kai kept observing the surrounding mountains and nodded: "Yes, look at this mountain. It is tall and straight. If it is pushed down, it will block the river, but it will take a lot of effort to climb up!"

"Let's get started! Arrange your people to carry things on their backs and follow me. The mountains on the north and south sides must be blown down. Let your people pay attention not to let the oil paper break when carrying things, otherwise our baby will be destroyed." Already!"

Cheng Si nodded solemnly. Through the past few days of communication, he already roughly knew what the miners in Taoyuan County were carrying. Although he hadn't seen the power of this thing with his own eyes, he didn't dare to ignore it.

Then he turned around and shouted: "Brothers! The guys on your back follow Captain Ding!"

The large army responded and began to silently carry the explosive packs that had already been divided. This pack ranged from a few tens of catties in weight to over a hundred catties in weight.

It may not be a big deal to carry it on weekdays, but now the road is wet and slippery, and it is extremely difficult to climb the mountain.

Ding Kai took the map, looked at the points marked on it, and set off after finding the right direction.

More than 200 people braved the heavy rain and marched forward under the gloomy weather.

............................

Soon everyone entered the range of the woods, the wind was howling crazily, and the trees were buzzing, and communication was basic, only by roaring.

Ding Kai carried the fewest things on his back and walked in the front row. Not only did he have to explore the path up the mountain, he also had to keep looking for a suitable blasting location.

As he was walking, there was a sudden exclamation behind him.

Ding Kai hurriedly turned his head to look, and shouted: "What's wrong! Who's wrong!"

After a while, I heard Cheng Si's voice: "It's okay! Keep going! A brother sprained his ankle, it's okay!"

Hearing this, Ding Kai continued to walk upwards.

Cheng Si carelessly touched the rainwater on his face, and couldn't help cursing inwardly.

The weather on this dog day is so abnormal!If it weren't for the fact that my brothers are soldiers of hundreds of battles, first-class warriors, I'm afraid they would have struggled to climb up the mountain.

The physical fitness of these miners in Taoyuan County is so good!Once again it exceeded his expectations.

After some twists and turns, we finally reached the halfway up the mountain without any danger.

Ding Kai looked at his feet and said in surprise: "Damn! It's really blessed by the county magistrate! There is a mountain crack here, which saves a lot of effort! Brothers! Don't go anymore, just place the bag here!"

The people around were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly took off the heavy explosive bag on their bodies.

"Everyone gather everything in one place! Lao Cheng, bring your brother down!"

Cheng Si didn't understand what he meant, but he still arranged for the brothers to pile up all the explosives in front of Ding Kai, and then led the brothers down the mountain.

Ding Kai ordered people to connect the explosive packs into one piece with a rope, and then divided them into two waves to connect the lead wires, and then used oiled paper sleeves to protect the lead wires and began to lower them slowly.

As the explosives had bottomed out, Ding Kai began to arrange for people to lead the lead wire down the mountain, and began to take care of whether the lead wire had entered the water.

The two teams quickly joined the four-strong army.

Cheng Si rubbed his head, and asked in a dazed expression, "Old Ding! Why did you come down again? How did you bomb this... mountain?"

Ding Kai smiled, and held the fuse with one hand: "Look! I hope you will open your eyes! Come, give me the fire pocket!"

Cheng Si stared fixedly at the lead wire in Ding Kai's hand, and saw that the moment the fire light touched the lead wire, the lead wire disappeared into the sleeve with a swish.

"Eh...this..."

"Get down! Everyone cover your ears!!!" Ding Kai yelled the moment the wire disappeared.

Just the second after the people on the left and right covered their ears, there was a sudden vibration under their feet.

..............

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom"!There was a burst of thunder!Countless rubble soared into the sky! !

The huge mountain peak actually started to sway for a while, and it seemed to be falling down!

Chengsi's liver and gallbladder were torn apart, his eyes were red as he stared at the mountain peak, his body trembling uncontrollably, like most people, some even buried their heads between their legs, trembling.

Seeing that the explosion failed, Ding Kai quickly ignited the second fuse...

"Boom, boom, boom!!!" There was another explosion, and the foundation of the mountain was finally shaken, and it fell down unsteadily.

Boulders kept hitting the river, causing huge waves one after another.

"Oh oh oh oh! It's a success!!!" The miners cheered one after another. Although it has not been completely completed, there is absolutely no problem with the feasibility!

This home has a reward of 1000 taels of silver!You can lie down at home for the rest of your life!

Cheng Si waited for a group of people to grow their mouths, and finally slowed down.

Such a scene, such a method, made his previous experience on the battlefield eclipsed.

It's simply...the means of a fairy!

He looked at Ding Kai and his party again with awe in their eyes.

After swallowing hard, Cheng Si said cautiously: "Old Ding...do you want to continue?"

"continue!"

Ding Kai is in high spirits now!The matter is half done, strike while the iron is hot and complete the other half, hurry home and get the money.

What's the point of staying in this place where the birds don't shit. ·

"retreat!"

Cheng Si roared, and the large army turned around and continued to leave the range of the forest. Everyone got up, and then hula fell down a large piece.

Some team members couldn't laugh or cry: "Captain! My feet are soft... I can't walk..."

Cheng Sili blushed and looked at Ding Kai.

Ding Kai smiled: "Continue after repairing!"

The miners burst into laughter.

It turns out that this group of people is nothing more than that, they are just soft eggs, and when they are fried, they are scared like grandmas. I think it was the same when we opened the mine for the first time.....

.......................

After the repairs were completed, more than 200 people returned to the original place, repacked the remaining explosives, and set off for another mountain peak again.

Although it took a lot of twists and turns for the second time, it still succeeded in the same way.

Seeing the monstrous flood flow out in the planned direction, everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of joy.

Ding Kai shouted: "Brothers!!! Everyone goes back to the county government to get 1000 taels of silver. I invite everyone to go to Qingchang Building to drink and eat meat, and then go to Tiande Pool for a bath!"

The twenty miners immediately cheered loudly.

Under the heavy rain, Cheng Si and his group of officers and soldiers looked at the miners with sour faces.

I don't get a penny for doing things for the palace, but I can get 1000 taels for doing things for the county magistrate...the gap...
