Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 416 Explosion
The Daming Ordnance Institute at this moment.

Chen Zilong, Commander of the Daming Army Military School offering wine and teaching battalion, Xia Yunyi, Commander of the Infantry Battalion directly under the Second Guards Army, and the leaders of the Daming Ordnance Institute have all gathered in the Mingde Hall of the Daming Industrial School.

"There are eight exits in the entire Daming Ordnance Institute. Considering that most of the experimental equipment and important equipment and materials must not be destroyed by the rebels, we divided them into eight routes and intercepted the enemy outside the exit. Right now we have a total of two battalions plus The demobilized guards in the experimental group can gather a total of 2 people, leaving 2000 points to guard each exit, and the rest are divided into eight teams, each with [-] people going out to block the enemy."

After Chen Zilong said that, he asked Xia Yunyi: "Brother Yizhong, have the bunkers and fortifications been constructed?"

"All have been purchased and built. The 30 academicians, students and craftsmen of the Ordnance Institute have been properly arranged, and important materials and technical equipment have also been hidden. There are a total of 32 sixteen-pound infantry heavy field guns and 74 infantry six-pound light guns. The field guns and one hundred infantry three-pound light field guns have also been transported to the main roads outside the exits of the armory."

"Wait, actually, I have an idea. I wonder if you guys can give me a chance. I want to make a nitroglycerin experiment when the rebels come. I will do it on the way the rebels come. I will bring it myself." equipment and materials."

Sun Heding stood up.

Song Yingxing directly objected when he heard his words: "No, Your Majesty said that your experiment is extremely dangerous, what if you blow yourself up?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Ge, I have already mastered this experiment proficiently, and I have taught all my operating techniques and procedures to my students. Now I just want to experiment how effective it can be in war, and also It can be regarded as a small contribution to the defense of ordnance, and I will go alone, even if there is an accident, it will only happen to me.”

After Sun Heding proposed one after another, Song Yingxing finally had no choice but to agree with Sun Heding: "Forget it, since you insist on this, and it is to further test the effect of the explosion, I will stop obstructing you, so that you will not sue me before the imperial court. , Said that the official obstructed your research, but you can only go alone, don't hurt others."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ge, I need a carriage, three quilts, a Chongzhen [-]-style flintlock gun, a box of bullets, and an alloy steel shield," Sun Heding said.

"I can give you the carriage and the Chongzhen [-]-style flintlock gun, but why do you need bedding? Why do you need an alloy steel shield?"

Bi Maokang asked.

"Laying the quilt on the carriage can further reduce the vibration, and the alloy steel shield prevents glass shards from being splashed on the lower official's face when it explodes. The lower official doesn't want the girl on the Qinhuai River to prevent me from boarding the boat," Sun Heding said, Everyone present couldn't help laughing.

"Teacher, the Jiang Yuntai Department of the rebel army has sent [-] troops to our Daming Ordnance Institute. The leader is [-] cavalry, and they have already passed Moling." At this time, an officer student from the Daming Army Military Academy ran in and said to Chen Zilong .

After Sun He Ding heard this, he hurriedly said: "It's too late, the next official will leave first."

……

It was a cloudy day at the time, and just when the sound of horseshoes was heard in front, Sun Heding had just finished adding glycerin, and after confirming that the nitroglycerin was produced, he immediately fled into the forest with a flintlock gun and lay in ambush, killing Chongzhen The Type [-] flintlock was in his hand, aiming closely at the glass box.

At this time, Jiang Yuntai came with [-] cavalry on horseback. When he saw a glass jar on the quilt in front of him, he couldn't help but stop his horse.

"What is this?" Jiang Yuntai asked.

"This should be a glass tank, but it's too strange to be used to hold things and still be placed in the wilderness. This may be a bar."Said one of Jiang Yuntai's lieutenants.

"Don't care what he is, it's important to hurry," Jiang Yuntai said, about to throw his whip and leave.

At this time, Sun Heding suddenly shot over, and the lead bullet hit the glass jar heavily, and there was only a loud bang, and the liquid in the glass jar suddenly exploded violently, Jiang Yuntai was blown into pieces on the spot, two thousand The cavalry was blown to pieces on the spot, crying and howling.

In this way, the commander-in-chief Jiang Yuntai was directly killed, two thousand cavalry were killed and more than five hundred people were injured, and the rest of the cavalry thought they had encountered some monsters and ghosts, and fled here in a hurry.

A lieutenant under Jiang Yuntai's command who came with the infantry didn't dare to move forward after seeing Jiang Yuntai's face that was indistinguishable from the bombing, and hurriedly ordered everyone to withdraw to Moling.

……

The defense carefully prepared by Chen Zilong and Xia Yunyi of Daming Ordnance Institute has never been used.

It wasn't until the scout in charge of the detective news came back and reported that the rebels had withdrawn to Moling, that everyone knew that the rebels had already given up attacking the Daming Ordnance Station. Tell them the answer.

"That group of rebels was really timid. Not long after the explosion, they all ran quickly on the way back, even throwing their knives and guns on the road, and the chief soldier was also smashed to death."

Sun Heding told Chen Zilong, Song Yingxing and the others vividly and vividly of what he saw, the excitement on his face could not be stopped.

And Chen Zilong and others also laughed.

Xia Yunyi patted Sun Heding on the shoulder even more curiously: "If we get a few more of this thing, we don't need to have so many people guarding here. Each of the eight exits puts a few nitroglycerin made by Doctor Sun. I'm afraid it will be able to defend against the rebels."

"It's not as easy as Commander Xia said. This nitroglycerin is not so easy to make. How to stir it, what the ratio is, and how to purify it are all difficult, and I don't know when I will be operating it. When there is a sudden gust of wind or if you accidentally touch it, it will blow up, it is impossible to get a few out, and there is not so much glycerin and nitric acid."

Sun Heding chattered a long line, Xia Yunyi had long lost his patience, so he avoided Sun Heding, and at this time, another officer ran over: "Another [-] rebel infantry just set off from Moling, heading towards this The side is coming."

"Why are there another [-] rebels, haven't they been scared away?" Song Yingxing couldn't help asking.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ge. At first it was [-], and there were [-] cavalry. This time, it was [-] infantry. If the officer's guess is correct, it must be the group of infantry who were frightened by Mr. Sun just now." I met the rebel support unit again, and then came together.”

After Chen Zilong finished speaking, he asked the officer Ke Chong who came to report the news: "How is the marching speed of this rebel army, how is its morale, and how is its equipment?"

"It's just some bird guns and Lumi guns, some knives and guns, no artillery, and the marching speed is very slow, just like ordinary people going to the market." After the officer student Ke Chong said this, Chen Zilong laughed: "How can these rebels It’s just such a bird, if it weren’t for the higher-ups asking us to strictly guard the armory, I really want to teach them a lesson!”
