Chapter 2 The blue thread on the road (11)
Tian Feng was unwilling to make do with civil servants to fight. The so-called "will not be afraid of major troubles" is determined by the situation. It would be fine if the military censor was killed by Ding Rongcheng. If someone was still punished, then those generals who stayed by him and watched him laugh at him in the future will not be able to live a good life. As the news comes, they will hand memorials to the court every few days, and no military general can withstand it. If there is no trick in the army, it is impossible. Who is the saint in this world?
So before Ding Yi could make any statement, General Tian Zhen winked at the other generals and bowed to Ding Yi: "Taiwan, this battle, military casualties, equipment loss and other matters, the general will lead the young people down now, and write out all the regulations and submit them to the table case as soon as possible to avoid misleading the military aircraft. OK?" Ding Yi of course understood his thoughts and did not make things difficult for other generals, so he nodded and taught him to lead the generals to go by himself.
Tian Feng has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has no water left. After leaving the tent, he immediately asked his personal soldiers to set up defense: "Fifty steps, no one can wait to enter except for the personal soldiers in the army!" Even Tan Feng became nervous and asked the cavalry company commander to take the old governor to gather to continue watching the cavalry company training and organize the command platoon. He set up a cordon for about thirty steps, checked the revolver himself, and guarded the door of the tent himself.
"What did you mix in the gunpowder?" Before Wan'an could speak, Ding asked him straightforwardly, "No need to play with any attack machine. Wan'an is not qualified at the moment, so he asked Ding Yi to pay attention to these things. "Who else is involved in this matter?"
Wan'an, the chief assistant of Viagra, is absolutely brilliant in judging the situation. It can even be said that in this world, there are only a few people who are better than him, and they are not uncommon in any way. Why is this guy who can climb to the chief assistant in history? Giving Viagra is also a skill, flattery is also a knowledge, lack of integrity is one thing, and being good at welcome is another thing.
"My private disciple, Wan, kowtowed to the sir!" Wan An really knelt down, kowtowed three times, and lie on the ground to reply. "When I say that, the gunpowder is mixed with fine sand. It is difficult to get the fine flour in this Yunnan land, so I have to use fine yarn. But they have been sifted several times... This matter was originally handled by the disciple, but later the eunuch of the military supervisor changed to a name named Wang Yi. The guy was really smart, and he smelled something wrong, so the disciple dragged him down to the water to avoid any trouble."
Wang Yi? Ding smiled bitterly as soon as he thought of it. Yes. Ding Yi gave him the credit for putting down the White Lotus Rebellion and shared the prosperity with Xie Yucheng, so Wang Yi was given the shortage of a guardian. However, looking at Wan'an, Ding Yi was already in a hurry. Listening to Wang Yi, the unlucky person, was here, he felt that one head was two big, and he didn't know what the two evil people were doing!
And Wan An still looked righteous. He seemed to be waiting for Ding Yi to praise him. This made Ding Yi a little surprised. He frowned and said to Liu Tie, who had just settled the eunuch and came in to serve, "Go and invite the garrison officer here, don't talk to him, and don't discuss it outside."
Liu Tie took the order, but his heart was extremely excited. It turned out that he thought he was very talented as a dog. Now he looked at Wan'an and realized that his cultivation was really many times worse. It was obvious that Ding Yi was so angry that he wanted to kill someone before, but after Wan'an came in, he had the ability to pat Ding Yi until it didn't happen. This was the dog's ability! He decided now that he must be close to Wan'an in the future.
However, Ding Yi, who was sitting in the tent, was not as thoughtful as Liu Tie. He heard something was wrong from Wan'an's words, so he thought about it and said to Wan'an: "Get up, sit and talk. Let's talk to me from beginning to end. I will not add fuel to the fire and make guesses. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Yes!" Wan An climbed up, and did not say that he was so scared that he was on the ground that he dared not get up. He knelt down and threatened Ding Yi to forgive him first and then talk about it. He was a sensation, but he was capable of making things feel good. Ding Yi asked him to sit, and he sat down honestly and dripped half a horse stool. "From last year to the army, he went to receive gunpowder with the baggage and food officers to receive Rongcheng for the first time. After counting, he found that more than one-third were missing, more than thirty boxes. Sir, if it was a box and a half box, An would naturally have all the complete sets. After all, this kind of bad rules in the officialdom has always happened, but the number is so large that An had to go and find the senior brother who was escorted here to speak."
Ding Yi nodded as he heard this. It was indeed a hundred boxes of gunpowder, but more than 30 boxes were missing. This is a difficult thing to cover up, and it is indeed a truth.
So Wan'an took him to communicate with the two Rongcheng Academy disciples who were escorted by Rongcheng. The answer made Wan'an helpless: "I encountered bandits on the road, consumed!" Wan'an was not stupid, but on the contrary, he was so energetic that there was no wound on the convoy, and there was no trace of knife and axe chopping on the shaft of the frame, let alone arrow holes, arrows, etc., which bandits consumed more than thirty boxes of gunpowder? However, the two students of Rongcheng Academy turned their eyes and said to Wan'an, "Student Wan, there are some Rongcheng specialties here. What they bring to you is the mood of the students in the academy. You must not be outside your classmates!"
As soon as the classmate’s words were expressed, Wan An fell into trouble.
He said to Ding Yi: "Sir, I'll go see the more than thirty boxes of specialties. I used boxes containing gunpowder. When I opened it, it was all fine flour. They called An a classmate, and An naturally couldn't leave it alone. After receiving it, he taught trustworthy people to tie the more than thirty boxes of flour with more than 40 boxes of gunpowder together, and added some wood ash, charcoal powder, and water were added to it, so that it would be gray and black to avoid being white and to make people suspicious." Ding Yi was absolutely shocked, and this would be a ghost if it could be loud!
Wan An said again: "As for later, An advised General Tian Town to advise him to buy gunpowder from other places. In fact, because the ammunition from Rongcheng was wrapped with a paper tube, the bullet and gunpowder must be disassembled before it can be carried out. After the demolition, it has to be put back. It will be just a batch and a half of the manpower spent. If this continues, An is really powerless!"
Apart from a bitter smile, Ding Yizhen didn't know what expression he had. The fixed-load ammunition was worse than bulk ammunition. Well, it was all because it was difficult to fake it. After Wan'an finished reloading, he wanted to load it in randomly. Rongcheng implemented it, and the fixed-load standard that cost a lot of manpower and material resources, naturally became a waste.
"But if you don't buy ammunition from Rongcheng, the gunpowder from Wang Gong Factory will not be mixed with this fine flour. But An thought that if the gunpowder from other places is loud and strong, it will inevitably turn back to check the batches of ammunition in Rongcheng, so the gunpowder from other places will also be mixed with fine sand..."
So if you are not afraid of treacherous ministers, you are afraid of such treacherous ministers with high IQ and high EQ. Not only do they do bad things, but they also industrialize bad things and strangle them to death first. Otherwise, the memorials reported in the Yunnan army never said that there was a problem with Rongcheng's ammunition. It was all because of the bad climate in Yunnan, the weather, the weather, the lack of force.
If Ding Yi had not come in person, Wan An honestly told the truth, the ghost could find out? Yes, if the master craftsman of Wang Gong Factory came to check it out in person, it would be possible to see the problem. However, the most lowly craftsmen in these days dared to do it with the Qinggui Censor? Tell him that he was full of courage and could not do such things. So the people who could see it could not come to the army to check it out, and the people in the army could not see it. This matter was really messy and perfect.
"An Xiang regards his personal disciple as a disciple, how can he be outside his classmates?" Wan An said calmly, looking as if he was taken for granted. "Especially, An hired a craftsman in private and carefully disassembled the grenade. According to the craftsman, the mold of the shell was rarely even and had no bubbles. I don't know how clever the Rongcheng was, but the cage with iron tendons was added outside, but he couldn't understand it, so he taught him to repair the iron tendon cage and ignite the grenade. If the rumors were rumored before, An knew that the classmates regarded An as one, and they entrusted him with this matter. Because of the classmates, An did not dare to leave it alone."
Therefore, the grenade exploded and fragments were insufficient, and the power was extremely weak. The fundamental reason why it was called a large firecracker by the sergeant was also found out. Adding materials and adding an iron cage outside the prefabricated fragmented bullet body was equivalent to the fact that one gram of explosives could make one gram of cast iron fragments break into ten pieces and fly ten meters away, and two grams of cast iron were naturally insufficient. The debris were heavy and they flew naturally closer.
But I am not afraid of inspection. When the Ministry of War is inspecting goods, Rongcheng will naturally say that the cage is a protective shell. I have to take it off. OK, once I take it off, the power will definitely meet the standards.
Ding Yi didn't know what this was called, so he had no choice but to say to Wan'an: "You're thinking about this..."
"An knows that this is not the teacher's original intention, but how can An stay out of the matter with his classmates?" Wan An said as if he was taken for granted, but then said to Ding Yi in a low voice, "Sir, don't worry, that craftsman will never miss it." There is only one kind of person who knows about others, and he is dead. There is no doubt that in order to keep it a secret, the craftsman will also have a result.
At this time, he heard Tan Feng speak outside the tent and say, "Wait!" and then he saw him get in the account and report, "Sir, Yang Shou and Li Zhennan, led the teaching brigade of the First Division of the Ming Dynasty to report." Ding nodded and signaled to teach the two people to come in.
