Southern Song Dynasty military god

Chapter 157
It wasn't until early in the morning that the sky was getting bright, and Liu Wei and others in Gaojiazhuang were busy.

Last night, Liu Wei asked Mr. Gao that in order to reduce the burden as much as possible, the villagers in the village almost only brought food except for the necessary clothes when they left, which means that Gaojiazhuang actually has a lot of things in stock .

Therefore, the first thing Liu Yi did after he opened his eyes was to call Hu Li and others to clean up the existing useful materials in the entire Gaojiazhuang. Useful, but some things are useless when facing Jin Bing next.

The clean-up work lasted for almost half a day, but the final statistics made Liu Wei overjoyed.

"Grandpa, I didn't expect our Gaojiazhuang to be quite rich. Things that we don't usually use would be prepared so richly?" Liu Wei said with a smile, pointing to a pile of thenardite in front of him.

Yes, thenardite.

Under the current circumstances, this kind of natural saltpeter mine, which can only come from the Xixia Kingdom, is theoretically not an ordinary daily necessities. Why does Gaojiazhuang have inventory, and the amount of inventory is not small?

Liu Wei laughed, and Mr. Gao's face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "These are all purchased by Jin'er when he went out to do business. Why, Liu Wei, you also know that this is something that ignited the fire?"

"Grandpa, since when have you been covering up? This Glauber's salt, and this sulfur, are so large in quantity and well kept, are you trying to tell me that they are all prepared by Gaojiazhuang for barbecue?" Liu Wei's mood at this time is naturally extremely good. He originally thought of teaching Jin Wushu a little lesson, but when Hu Li and others counted the supplies, Liu Wei's thoughts changed again.

It is true that no matter whether it is Zhuang Min or Liu Wei, it is impossible for them to carry these heavy things on the road, but if they leave them to Jin Bing, wouldn't it be a waste?
"You boy, yes, our Gao family is not the kind to wait for death. The reason why we prepared these things at the beginning was also thinking of making a batch of firearms by ourselves. Unfortunately, the materials can be purchased, but the craftsmen who make firearms are controlled by the court. There is no way to do it!" The old man sighed for a while, looking at the things that the Gao family had worked so hard to get back, but they still couldn't work, who could not feel regretful?

However, just as the old man was sighing, Liu Wei stepped forward and pointed to his nose and said, "Grandpa, why didn't you say it earlier? I always thought that things like Glauber's salt must be strictly controlled by the imperial court, but unexpectedly we There are so many good things, I am an expert among experts!"

As a special soldier of later generations, although he is not as versatile as an agent, he still needs to master the most basic knowledge.

The history of the development of gunpowder in China is very long. It almost took until the Ming Dynasty after the Song Dynasty to study black powder. Firearms, but largely in their original state.

The reason for this result is not just because the ratio is not correct, but also has a huge relationship with the industrial level of purification.

And Liu Wei's words obviously made the old man a little unbelievable. He stared at Liu Wei and said, "You, you actually know how to refine gunpowder? Thanks to me, I begged the Taoist Qingxu for many days, but in the end it was fruitless! If If I knew you would refine gunpowder, I, why should I bother?"

At this time, the "troublesome" in the old man Gao's mouth did not just mean that he was begging Qingxu Sanren, it dates back to when Liu Wei had just sent Gao Yuniang back to Gaojiazhuang.In fact, before this, Mr. Gao once asked Gao Jinsi to find gunpowder refining craftsmen or Taoists, and he did not hesitate to treat him as a guest of honor, but unfortunately he never had the chance.

If at that time, Mr. Gao knew that Liu Wei had this skill, he would not have objected to the matter between Liu Wei and Gao Yuniang, and he might have urged the two to get married. Let Liu Wei, a "talent", think about leaving!
In that way, if it is not done well, there will be no catastrophe in Gaojiazhuang today!

It's a pity that there is really no regret medicine in this world. No matter how old man Gao stomps his feet, he can only accept this fact.

"Even if you can make gunpowder, it may not be enough time." After a pause, Mr. Gao kept shaking his head. In his opinion, refining raw materials into perfect gunpowder is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also expensive. It requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, but now Gaojiazhuang has neither time nor enough manpower.

"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about this matter! Hey, with these things, what I promised you last night will be fulfilled. You old man, hurry up and pack your things. Hu Li, go find some strong brothers , come and listen to my orders!"

Liu Wei rubbed his hands, now he has Glauber's salt and sulfur, and there is a lot of it, although from the perspective of chemical industry, the purity of raw materials in western Zhejiang is relatively poor, but Liu Wei has no intention of making any fine things Come to think of it, it’s not that complicated to make an explosion with astonishing power, and the purity of the raw materials is not so particular, otherwise, how could it be possible for future generations to have all kinds of accidental explosions among the people?
"My lord, no problem!" Hu Li readily agreed. Among other things, their old brothers had a lot of strength.

"Oh, by the way, since there are these things, I think you have to hurry up and get some things for me, hurry up!"

Liu Wei picked up the pen and paper beside him, and wrote down everything he needed, then looked at it, and frowned again.

"This thing, I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

"what?"

Elder Gao stretched his neck beside him and asked.

"Flour." Liu Wei shook his head. Flour is a very important food. It is impossible for people not to take it with them when they leave, so it must be very difficult to find it now. Even if they can be found, the quantity may not be able to meet Liu Wei's needs.

"My lord, this is really gone." Hu Li, who participated in the material counting work, said quickly.

"Well, it's okay if you don't have this, but these things should still be found, Hu Li, mobilize all the people to find these things, and in addition, you need to carry two large stone mills, the thinnest kind, hurry up, all of them The materials are all finely ground with a mill. Pay attention, you must be careful when grinding these things. You can’t bring fire or other things that can catch fire on your body, let alone open flames. Don’t even bring in metal weapons. Remember gone?"

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will remember it firmly." Hu Li cupped his hands and was about to turn around and leave when Liu Wei stopped him again and said again: "Hu Li, you must remember my order. Hurry up, but safety is more important! I don't want any accidents to happen to any of you."

"Got it, my lord!"

Feeling Liu Wei's deep concern for his subordinates, Hu Li nodded his head several times before turning around to execute the order.

"Liu Wei, you asked them to prepare these things in one way or another. What do you want to do?" After Hu Li left, old man Gao couldn't help but ask Liu Wei.

"Old man, have you seen what it looks like when gunpowder burns?"

"I've seen it, of course I've seen it! That was a few years ago."

Liu Wei saw that the old man had a look of nostalgia, and quickly planned to say to the old man: "Then do you think that such a burning situation, with our existing materials, can cause damage to a large number of enemies?"

"This." Mr. Gao glanced back and forth at the loads of thenardite and sulfur placed in front of him, finally shook his head, and said, "It's hard, it's really hard!"

"Isn't it? Even if I know the best ratio, it happens that a daughter-in-law can't live without rice, so we have to add some things and methods to teach Jin Wushu a profound lesson and let him know the power of science." !"

"Science? What's that?"

"Well, science is not something, science is." Speaking of this, Liu Wei felt dizzy for a while, waved his hand and gave up explaining the concept of this imported product to the old man, and turned to study the thenardite and sulfur, ready to distinguish them carefully the purity of things.

Because of Liu Wei's order, the only people left in Gaojiazhuang began to get busy. Although most of them didn't know what doing these things had anything to do with fighting against the Jin soldiers, the old people like Hu Li who followed Liu Wei , but has firm confidence in Liu Wei.

When night fell, Liu Wei, who had been busy all day, returned to his room. Before he could lie down and rest, he heard footsteps coming from far and near.

"Anna?"

"Liu, have you rested yet?"

Anna's voice sounded outside the window, Liu Wei was puzzled, went to the door and opened the door, and asked Anna, "It's so late, what do you need from me?"

"It's nothing, I just feel panicked in my heart, thinking." Having said that, Anna raised her head and looked at Liu Wei, but Liu Wei only felt that Anna's eyes were like two icicles, which could stab him cold all over. !
Is this the sequelae of murder?

Liu Wei was secretly startled, he had been in the army for so many years, and this was the first time he encountered a situation like Anna's.

"Come in and sit."

Talk to Anna in a calm tone as much as possible, Liu Wei doesn't want to irritate Anna at this time.For this woman who had brushed shoulders with death many times when she first entered the battlefield, and her hands were stained with blood, Liu Wei felt an indescribable distress.

In fact, this war has nothing to do with Anna, she just got into it because of a misunderstanding, so Liu Wei also felt very sorry.

In fact, Anna could have gone with Gao Yuniang and the others, so that she wouldn't have to bear this kind of pain.

"When I closed my eyes, I saw those faces appearing repeatedly in my mind. They were like demons, leading me to kill them again and again. Liu, what's going on? I feel my heart is so cold, I also feel like I'm about to become a demon!"

"No, you are not a devil, you are an angel! Anna, your name is Angel!"
