At this time Zhang Fu said: "Then I will go to my brother's military camp and steal gunpowder."
Zhang Anshi shook his head: "No need, I have it here. I confiscated your gunpowder last time. After my brother returned home, he refining it. Of course, this is purely academic research."
This is not a lie. Zhang Anshi has always been interested in the research of gunpowder. Of course, this is just a personal hobby.
Anyone who has lived for two generations does not know the power of gunpowder.
However, after studying the gunpowder Zhang Fu brought last time, Zhang Anshi discovered many problems with Ming Dynasty gunpowder.
On the one hand, the ratio of saltpeter and carbon is wrong. In later generations, anyone with a little bit of chemical skills can pronounce the ratio of monosulfur, diniter, and charcoal in a catchy way.
But for the ancients, they could only rely on the experience of the craftsmen to make the ratio. For example, when Zhang Fu brought gunpowder, the proportion of charcoal was too large and could not fully react.
Another problem is that there are too many impurities in the gunpowder. Because it contains too many impurities, it also greatly affects the power of the gunpowder.
Zhang Anshi made some improvements to address this problem. On the one hand, he made a more reasonable ratio, and on the other hand, he improved the purity of different materials when extracting raw materials.
After solving these problems, it is obviously not enough... because even the perfect black powder has limited power.
Zhang Anshi mixed some white sugar into the gunpowder. Isn't there a saying? One sulfur, two nitrates, three charcoal, add a little sugar, big Ivan!
This sugar can greatly increase the power of gunpowder.
Of course, there is actually no white sugar in the Ming Dynasty now, and real white sugar did not appear until the Jiajing period.
However, this problem is actually not big. The process of making white sugar is very simple and can be solved by simply using yellow mud water to decolorize sugar.
It's just that this thing is easy to make, but it's a bit difficult to take it out and try it.
Now, it finally works.
Zhang Anshi looked at Qiu Song dotingly and said, "I have a kind of gunpowder here. Do you dare to try it?"
Qiu Song stared at Zhang Anshi blankly: "Why don't you dare? I am loyal."
"If, I mean if, if something happens, will you help me out?"
A bubble of air burst under Qiu Song's nose, and he said: "I am not such a person!"
Zhang Anshi sighed with emotion: "What a good brother. But remember, we only scare people, not hurt them. We rely on this to get a head start. We are not teaching you to kill people, do you understand?"
Qiu Song thought for a while and then said: "I know."
So after everyone agreed, two days later, everyone gathered early in the morning.
First, they burned yellow paper in the Zhang family's courtyard and became brothers, and drank chicken blood together.
Then, Zhang Anshi took two carefully prepared explosive bags and hung them on Qiu Song's body. He patted his shoulder: "If you hit him with one punch, you can avoid it with a hundred punches. Today, the two murderers in our capital are going to let people go."
You know, we are not easy to bully!"
Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu looked at the two gunpowder packets hanging on Qiu Song's body. Their faces were a little frightened, but they said in unison: "Yes, yes, listen to big brother."
Qiu Song's typhoid fever seemed not to be cured yet, and bubbles were still blowing out of his nose. He sniffed: "We are not the second most evil person in the capital, but now we are the third most evil person in the capital!"
Zhang Anshi raised his thumb and said with admiration: "Well done, you just have to have such courage to move forward. Third brother, you have a great future, keep it up."
Now, the four of them set off.
When he walked out of the middle door, Qiu Song suddenly paused and stopped moving.
Zhang Anshi urged: "What's wrong? Let's go."
Qiu Song was silent for a moment, tilted his head and thought: "I was thinking, you won't lie to me, right?"
Zhu Yong became anxious and stamped his feet: "What are you talking about? We have all become brothers and have sworn an oath. Will brothers lie to brothers?"
Qiu Song thought about it and thought it made sense: "Oh."
………………
Zhang Anshi and the others arrived at a small house not far from Confucius Temple.
At this time, because it was early in the morning, there were very few people walking on the street.
This small house is the Liang family's house that Zhang Anshi and others inquired about.
At this time, the door here is closed.
Zhang Anshi crossed his hands and cursed first, then pointed at Zhu Yong and the others and said: "You son of a bitch Liang Wen, aren't you usually very arrogant? You are so capable, and you have the guts to come out and beat them!"
Zhu Yong: "..."
Zhang Fu: "..."
Qiu Song: "..."
After cursing, Zhang Anshi turned to the three brothers behind him and said: "Okay, eldest brother is hungry, let's go have breakfast first, you continue, remember this, no one can bully us, the two evil men in the capital."
Qiu Song held the gunpowder bag and said, "They are the three evil men in the capital."
"Yes." Zhang Anshi said: "Anyway, big brother doesn't allow it. Okay, you continue."
After that, he left in a hurry.
It's not that Zhang Anshi is unloyal, it's just that he knows very well that eggs cannot be put in one basket.
The most important thing is that his brother-in-law is the prince and he cannot discredit his brother-in-law.
Zhu Yong and the other three were different. In the Yongle Dynasty, the only people who could really go sideways were eminent ministers like them.
Liang Wen was Zhu Gaoxu's general at first. When he followed Zhu Gaoxu into Nanjing and was named King of Han, he also entered the Han Dynasty and served as an official of hundreds of households.
The King of Han treated his people very well, which can even be described as indulgent.
Everyone in the Han Dynasty's guard was protected with all his strength.
Because of this, in the city of Nanjing, the people of Hanwang's guard have always been lawless. Even if they committed a crime, as long as the Hanwang came forward, the people of Yingtianfu would not dare to control them.
Therefore, Liang Wen naturally took this opportunity and relied on the momentum of the Han Palace to let his brother Liang Wu do business and accumulate family wealth. He also bought property in Nanjing and even raised several concubines.
However, Liang Wen knew very well that this situation could not last long. As long as the King of Han was King of Han for one day, he would have to return to the vassal territory sooner or later.
At that time, he, the military attache of the Han Dynasty's guard, would have to follow the Han Dynasty to Yunnan in despair, and the colorful world of Nanjing would have nothing to do with him.
This is also the reason why everyone in the Han Dynasty palace hopes that the King of Han can become the crown prince.
A few days ago, his brother was beaten half to death, and these people were so arrogant and domineering that they dared to keep saying that the one who beat them was the King of Han.
When the King of Han found out, he was really furious and told him only one thing. The identity of the two culprits in the capital was of course not trivial, but there was no need to be polite about the other two culprits in the capital and they should be dealt with severely.
Liang Wen got the order and was of course gearing up.
So he impatiently led a group of people and started to cause trouble at the dock. Any ship that was closely related to the two villains in the capital would be smashed at every turn. Those boatmen who were attached to the two villains in the capital would be beaten at will. Anyway, as long as the King of Han
Now, no one can do anything to them.
These days were very happy, and with a strong desire for revenge, Liang Wen felt bad for his brother.
Last night, he invited a dozen of his subordinates to drink at home. In the early morning, he woke up drunk. At this time, he heard someone yelling outside, and his subordinates came in in a panic, saying that someone was causing trouble.
At this moment, Liang Wen became furious and immediately opened the door with a dozen brothers and came out.
So... I saw three teenagers standing at the door, each with an imposing manner, saying various greetings to his mother.
Liang Wen knew where the other party was coming from at a glance. Who was the rumored second murderer in the capital?
It must have been these people who beat his brother in the first place.
Liang Wen knew the inside story. The identities of these three people were extraordinary, and he would never dare to harm their lives.
However, if the other party provokes him, he must not lose the prestige of the King of Han. If there is a real fight, as long as it is enough, he can give these people a good beating. With the King of Han as his backer, it doesn't matter.
After thinking about it, he stared at Zhu Yong and the others coldly, and said sternly: "Are you the ones who keep saying that you are beating the King of Han?"
Zhu Yong put his hands on his hips: "So what."
"Say it again!"
"The one I'm beating is the King of Han!"
Liang Wen looked furious. In fact, this was what he was waiting for, so he shouted: "Brothers, His Highness the King of Han always takes care of us. What are you waiting for? Give me a fucking beating!"
Give an order.
A dozen strong soldiers from King Wei of Han Dynasty rushed forward without hesitation.
Although Zhu Yong and Zhang Fu were fearless, looking at the formation in front of them, they also became a little worried.
Behind the two of them, Qiu Song, who had a dull look on his face, calmly took down a gunpowder bag hanging on his body, took out the gunpowder bag, and blew on the gunpowder bag, which immediately glowed red.
Then, align the gunpowder with the lead of the gunpowder bag.
