Zhuo Qihua

Advisers are naturally more thoughtful than generals.Regarding many things, although Emperor Yong'an ordered to keep silent, he only ordered to keep silent, and did not order to kill people to silence.There are so many people in the harem, as long as they have the heart, they will definitely be able to see the clues, not to mention that the clues are still obvious.Especially the four sealed boxes that Pan Beigu brought this time, two of which were medicines that Pan Pozhi needed.A box contains "Huangyanxiao", "Qubaiyao", "alcohol", "iodine", "Zhitongsan", "anesthetics" and other magic medicines, as well as the burning method of bricks and the foundation of the new kang. How to use fishing nets for winter mending, how to deforestation, what kind of forest to cultivate land, how to plant rice in Beigu and the north area, and so on.In the last box, there are five bottles of incendiary bombs with "dangerous" written on them, and parchment paper on how to use them.

As for what an incendiary bomb is, after seeing how to use it, Pan Pozhi and Pan Begu didn't pay much attention to it.Because the method of use did not mention the effect of the incendiary bomb after use, only the precautions.In a war where tens of thousands of people attack each other, what effect can five bottles of incendiary bombs have?As a result, when Pan Beigu raided Tarkin's garrison camp, he threw two bottles in the direction of the opponent's commander according to the method of use. As a result, he not only burned the Tarkin commander to death, but also instantly ignited the withered grass on the ground and burned him to death. It killed a group of people, and scared the soldiers of Talkin's department to death, and Pan Beigu almost died of fright.After that, the remaining three bottles were offered as tributes until the later battle, because it was going to end before the snow season, and Pan Beigu was so painful that Pan Beigu used them all.Pan Begu is the only one who has used it. He has experience, and no one who has seen that kind of scene dare to use it.

Yao Daqian: "The glass is being changed in the palace now. The bottles that hold incendiary bombs are made of this glass. It is said that the windows are replaced with glass, and the room is brighter. It is only the main palace that is being replaced, but Shun is the entire palace. I heard that Shun rarely dresses up. I don’t have any skills, and I don’t like to dress up, so why does Your Majesty love Shunyou so much?” Yao Daqian pointed out directly, “I’m afraid the medicines that the general uses every day are not from the Imperial Medical Office. not simple."

Both Pan Pozhi and Pan Beigu were shocked.Pan Pozhi's illness has been going on for many years. Yao Daqian can't help it, and the Imperial Medical Office can't help it either.But this time, the medicine that Pan Beigu brought was very effective.

Pan Pozhi said cautiously: "This matter must not be spread to outsiders, and do not discuss it in private in the future. Whether it is true or not is a matter for His Majesty. As ministers, we cannot make unreasonable discussions, not to mention that it concerns Your Majesty's harem."

Both Pan Beigu and Yao Daqian nodded heavily.

Pan Pozhi and Pan Begu were in a good mood, and it was not something they needed to worry about who owned those things. Anyway, they got the most benefits.

In the capital, in the court hall, the courtiers quarreled like a pot of porridge.Some ministers thought that Pan Pozhi's move was very pleasing to the hearts of the people, and he gave a bad breath to the people of Beigu who had suffered from the scourge of Tarkin's department.However, some ministers believed that Pan Pozhi's initiative to provoke a war with Tarkin's Ministry would inevitably destabilize the stability of Huimata.After the spring of next year, the Talkin Department will definitely retaliate. At that time, the imperial court will not only send troops and food, but also bring great pressure to the treasury and court stability that have not recovered from the drought.

Some people think it's a good fight, and some people think it shouldn't be played.A group of people think that Pan Pozhi is innocent, and a group of people think that Pan Pozhi, who took the initiative to provoke the war, should be punished.When the people below were almost arguing, Emperor Yong'an said: "I just want to ask, whether the Talkin Ministry has invaded the people at the border of our country and provoked war with our country, has Atutai committed any crimes?" His general?"

It was immediately quiet below, and the ministers who advocated the crime of Pan Pozhi and Pan Beigu did not dare to speak out.Emperor Yong'an: "I am the lord of the Mata country, but I dare not take the initiative to teach a lesson to a small Tarkin tribe. This emperor of mine is really 'cautious'."

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The ministers all knelt down.Emperor Yong'an: "Let me see, Pan Pozhi didn't beat hard enough! It wasn't enough to relieve me! If he can take down the Tarkin Ministry! Cut off Atutai's head for me! Not only will I reward you! I will also give He is a feudal official! Don't the Talkin Ministry think that I am afraid of him! What good does it do me to form an alliance with Atutai? What they are best at is tearing up the alliance. If Atutai can tear it up, I can't tear it up They were afraid of being beaten by me, so they came to form an alliance with me. They would not pay a penny of silver, and they wanted me to give him silver taels back. Soldiers, increase your pay!

Pan Pozhi told me that he doesn't need the Ministry of War to give him extra food and grass rations, and you don't have to argue about it.If he can't do it, I will punish him. "

Emperor Yong'an's attitude was clear, he wanted to hit him, and he wanted to beat him hard and vent his anger on him.Moreover, Pan Pozhi, Pan Beigu and Beigu's generals should be rewarded heavily.Even Emperor Yong'an said that, who would dare to say no.The military generals all supported Pan Pozhi, and Guan Minghui, Minister of the Ministry of War, also supported it. The Metropolitan Procuratorate did not intervene in the war.

As soon as the court meeting that was urgently held because of the Beigu war ended, Emperor Yong'an called Guan Minghui to his study, and asked him to order the border troops to send military doctors back to Beijing with the order of the Ministry of War to train in the Imperial Medical Office.Emperor Yong'an didn't say anything about the training, and Guan Minghui didn't ask either.The northern border of Mata country is now in winter.There are usually no major battles in winter, and the borders in warm southern regions are relatively stable. At this time, it is most appropriate to call military doctors to Beijing for training.

Guan Minghui went to do it immediately after leaving Fengtian Hall.He is now the emperor's favorite minister, and because of this, he can't slack off the emperor's will.Emperor Yong'an was more vigorous and resolute than before. Officials who were slack in their work were severely scolded and fined by him, and at worst, not only the black hat would not be guaranteed, but also the male members of the family would be affected.As long as Guan Minghui is not stupid, he will not violate the Holy Majesty's taboo when he and his son are in favor.

After Guan Minghui left, Zhang Xian came over with a long box with a lock and put it on the case.After filling Wansui with tea, Zhang Xian withdrew.Those boxes contained secret letters sent directly to Emperor Yong'an, and Zhang Xian couldn't be present.Emperor Yong'an opened the lock with the copper key he carried with him, and took out the letter inside.

The letter was sent by Pan Pozhi through a special channel, and it was delivered directly to Emperor Yong'an.Before Emperor Yong'an had finished reading the letter, he shouted, "Zhang Xian!"

"The servant is here!"

Zhang Xian pushed the door and walked in quickly.Emperor Yong'an: "Where is Shunxi now?"

"Long live back, I'm in the pharmacy of Xiangfu Palace."

"Call him back."

"Yes!"

The glass of Fengtian Temple has been replaced, and the office of Emperor Yong'an is back to Fengtian Temple when he is not in court.After Zhang Xian went out, Emperor Yong'an carefully read the thick secret letter again, and then picked up another secret letter.This secret letter was sent by the confidant of Emperor Yong'an of Beigu.The generals at the border will naturally have people from Emperor Yong'an.After comparing the two secret letters, Emperor Yong'an was more certain about some things, and his serious expression revealed a bit of joy.

After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Xian pushed open the door and said, "Long live, you are here."

Zhuo Ji followed Zhang Xian into the Hall of Walking and Walking, but Zhang Xian didn't follow in, turned around and left the Hall of Walking and Walking, and closed the door.Zhuo Ji saw Emperor Yong'an's expression, and asked, "Why is Your Majesty so happy?"

Emperor Yong'an handed over two secret letters: "Look for yourself."

But Zhuo Ji said: "I don't want to read it, I want to listen to what His Majesty has to say."

Emperor Yong'an didn't force it, and said with a smile: "Your incendiary bomb is very effective."

Emperor Yong'an got up, took Zhuo Ji to the rest room, and told Zhuo Ji about the effects of the incendiary bombs described in the two secret letters, the effects of a batch of new kangs that Pan Yuzhi made before the snow season, and the harvest of winter supplements.Zhuo Ji listened and nodded repeatedly, and said: "Fire kang and Dongbu are the characteristics of Northeast China. General Pan is willing to believe what is written on the parchment, and he dares to let General Dingyuan use it himself. The cost is too high, not stable enough, and mass production is unrealistic. I don’t even have confidence in how powerful it can be. After all, the laboratory experiment itself is very simple, and we don’t have professional production lines and materials. But five bottles All of them have shown their power, and the effect is better than I expected, and Tarkin's department should be defeated."

Emperor Yong'an: "Pan Beigu burned Wuxiemumu to death with two incendiary bombs. No matter how high the cost is, it is worthwhile! However, Pan Beigu said that the Huangyanxiao and other medicines he had sent had been used up, and asked the Ministry of War to send another batch to North Valley. After the beginning of spring, the Talkin Department is bound to go to war."

Zhuo Ji: "I didn't have many Huangyanxiao and Qubaiyao that I took this time. General Pan's side has just used up now, which shows how sparingly they used it. Spring comes late in Beigu, and by then the pharmacy will I can make a lot of Huangyanxiao and Qubaiyao, but the alcoholic ones still have to come to the medical department, and the pharmacy is already exhausted.”

Emperor Yong'an: "I will order Hu Pengju to study alcohol first, extract iodine, and make painkillers. It's just that this anesthetic... I haven't taken it out yet. The matter is of great importance. But this thing, I must give it to someone I trust."

Zhuo Ji: "Then let me make some first. But your Majesty, you have to get me a special greenhouse to grow datura flowers, the kind that can keep warm in winter. Do you still make incendiary bombs?"

Emperor Yong'an: "Just ask for the flower house, and I will let Zhang Xian do it in person. Incendiary bombs are very important, so I won't do it for now. In less than two days, it will spread all over the court. If you make incendiary bombs again, I'm afraid it will be noticed. The Talkin Ministry will be afraid of the incendiary bombs in the Mata State, and even if Pan Jianzhi is gone, they will have to think about it. In the end, the soldiers at the frontier will have to fight bloody battles."

Zhuo Ji: "Okay then. But since the military doctors need to be trained, I will give Hu Pengju a class for them and I will come here first. There is still a big difference between what a doctor in the field needs to master and an ordinary doctor. If your majesty changes his mind about incendiary bombs , I suggest to make the finished product and ship it to the border. Unless the general returns and hand it over to the general. Your Majesty, if the general succeeds, the military factory is imminent. The person in charge of the military factory, your majesty, you have to think about it .”

Emperor Yong'an nodded: "I know. As long as things can be done, I will send Lam Yi there."

Zhuo Ji: "When there are more craftsmen in the Academy of Sciences, Your Majesty will start cultivating loyal and reliable craftsmen."

Emperor Yong'an still nodded solemnly, Zhuo Ji: "Qin Zhongyi also knows a lot of things now, and His Majesty can use it more. In addition, Your Majesty, don't forget Lei Cong, seedlings must be cultivated from an early age, so that they will be reliable in the future."

Emperor Yong'an said solemnly: "I have considered it. When Lin Xieshan and Lin Yi come back, I will discuss with them."

Sure enough, as Emperor Yong'an said, the incident of the incendiary bomb spread throughout the court three days after Emperor Yong'an received the secret letter.Guan Minghui, who is the minister of the Ministry of War, still looked dumbfounded, while the other five ministers, including the cabinet ministers, all looked ignorant.Where did this incendiary bomb come from?How can there be such a great power?The court officials immediately went to Fengtian Hall to ask the Holy One.

In fact, the incendiary bombs made by Zhuo Ji tended to be more like incendiary bottles.However, what is contained in the bottle is not alcohol or gasoline, but an explosive made of black oil (petroleum)—this thing already exists in Mata country, but it is not widely used—aluminum powder and so on.The explosives were filled into dark glass bottles and closed with wooden corks.When you need to use it, unplug the cork, stuff it with a cloth strip, then ignite it and throw it out.Because it is a mixed explosive, it is more powerful after the explosion.Back then, humans often used this thing to fight against zombies.

For the ministers and workers, Emperor Yong'an said that the incendiary bomb is still in the experimental stage, and it is the research result of General Lin Xieshan's "disappearance" for more than a year.The whereabouts of Lin Xieshan has been the object of inquiries by people in the court, but it has always been fruitless.Unexpectedly, at this moment, the Holy Majesty revealed what General Lin had been doing for more than a year since his disappearance.Although the Holy Majesty has not revealed where Lin Xieshan is, this incendiary bomb was "developed" by the general!Really shocking.Later, Emperor Yong'an took this matter as a military secret, and sent them away before the specific details were released to the public.

Lin Xieshan has not shown up, but Emperor Yong'an really needs an excuse to explain to the ministers, and also needs the hearts of the generals.Now, knowing that the general has secretly developed such a powerful weapon, the generals are all happy, but the civil servants are hard to say.The Holy One sent a general to research and develop weapons, and they left for more than a year, but none of the money was transferred from the household department. Obviously, it was taken from the Holy One's private treasury. What does this mean?Thinking that the general has mastered the incendiary bomb, and the general is the most loyal to the Holy Majesty... It is no wonder that the Holy Majesty has been very powerful recently, and he keeps his promises.With the support of the Lin family and the terrifyingly powerful incendiary bomb, it will not be a matter of time before the Holy Majesty dominates the world!

In the Ministry of Industry's Shangshu Mansion, Shi Yu was thinking seriously in his study.The housekeeper came in and reported: "Master, Guan Shangshu is here."

Shi Yu was surprised, and immediately said: "Please hurry up." After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked quickly to the door.After waiting for a long time, Guan Minghui appeared, and Shi Yu went up to meet him: "Great Sima has nothing to do but goes to the Three Treasures Palace."

Guan Minghui smiled and said, "Is it because Da Sikong blames me for not coming?"

"Hehe, Da Sima, please come in."

Officials in the DPRK and China will use some nicknames for their official titles when they call each other in private.It's like Chen Changgeng, the imperial envoy of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In private, others call him Zongxian Chen, or Mr. Zongxian.

The two sat down in the study, and the maid left after serving tea and snacks.Shi Yu asked: "The Great Sima is here..."

Guan Minghui said: "Da Sikong, after the three severe droughts last year, today you are asking me to wait one by one. Your Ministry of Industry is so busy that your feet don't touch the ground. As for the tall man behind you today, I am so sorry. Does Sima really have no guesses?"

Shi Yu looked serious and didn't make a sound.Guan Minghui: "The incendiary bombs used by General Pan in Beigu...are made of glass bottles. Da Sima doesn't know where the glass bottles come from?"

Shi Yuchang breathed out, and said: "Da Sima, to be honest, I ordered Liulichang to make some glass bottles, and specially made some glass bottles with dark colors. But as for who gave these glass bottles today, I really don't know. I also said today that the incendiary bomb was made by the general, so what does the general suspect?"

Guan Minghui: "Did Sikong really believe what I said today?"

Shi Yu: "..."

Guan Minghui threw out a sentence: "All the changes in today's world are all after I came out of the West Third Hospital."

The flesh on Shi Yu's face twitched visibly.Guan Minghui: "Dejuji once said something to me."

Shi Yu's eyes were questioning.

Guan Minghui: "Shun Yu once told the King of Qin that in the eyes of the King of Qin, the Mata country is very big, but in terms of the real world, the Mata country is very small. He said that there are too many things in the Mata country that need to be changed. There are too many things that need to be changed. There are many places that need development. When will everyone in Mata country have food to eat, everyone to wear, everyone to have money, everyone will be able to read and practice calligraphy, and everyone will live to be 60 or 70 years old. The Mata country is truly a prosperous and powerful country.”

Guan Minghui still had some reservations about what he said, but Shi Yu's eyes widened when he heard it.He went on to say: "Gui Xie once said with certainty that in Danyang Palace, no one can compete with Shun Ji. Presumably even Huang Gui Xi knows it well. Da Sikong, I am here today, I don't want to talk to you. We are courtiers, and we must not be confused about some things."
