Chapter 886 "Bang!", alas!

Author: Dongfang Hong Bus

Kyoto, outside the workshop.

"Bang!"

"ah!"

"My eyes!"

With an explosion, in the open space outside the workshop, orange-red fire light suddenly soared into the sky and disappeared in an instant. In the pungent black smoke, several craftsmen fell to the ground and wailed.

In mild cases, the face is covered with blood and the eyes are drooping outside the cheekbones; in severe cases, the body is charred and the breathing is broken.

"What's going on?" In the imperial study, the emperor asked in shock: "How many people died?"

Eunuch Li frowned and looked worried: "One died, three seriously injured, and one was unpredictable for life and death, and his arms were gone."

The emperor patted the imperial case and shouted angrily: "Where is Zheng Chunqiu? Let him get out!"

Eunuch Li: "During the explosion, Lord Zheng was also on the scene. Fortunately, he was far away and had no external injuries, but he seemed to be deaf, and... he was crazy, and he could only howl and run desperately..."

Emperor: "Crazy? You're pretty good at pretending!"

Eunuch Li said: "It's not really crazy. The imperial doctor has seen it. Lord Zheng was stimulated and took a dose of calming the nerves, but his hearing needs to recover for a while."

The emperor was furious: "What a god! I gave him a few needles and brought them to me immediately!"

No wonder the emperor was angry.

The emperor has seen Xu Nianping's drawings and Eunuch Li has also seen them. They agreed that these are firecrackers made of different materials and are not very difficult.

The factory workshop of the Ministry of Industry studies and produces fireworks and firecrackers every year, and it is a special project. It should be said that they are already very professional technical jobs.

There was no accident in the development of new fireworks. How can a "large firecracker" kill people and one death or three injuries?

"I heard it was blown up in the gun barrel," Li Gongmi felt puzzled: "The specific one is not clear yet."

However, seeing that the veins on the emperor's forehead were stormed, Eunuch Li still said to the Ministry of Works: "Xiao Xuzi said that this 'conscienceless cannon' will blow up two ends, one end of the enemy and the other end of the self."

"Why is it okay when Chu Qing uses it?!" The emperor's veins calmed down a little, but he was still irritable.

At present, we are just waiting for King Vos to send people to negotiate. Before that, the emperor needs to create large quantities of "conscienceless cannons" to be used as a deterrent.

Even the emperor wanted the Ministry of Works to produce a batch of "big fireworks", that is, to use cannons to fire flower petals.

Think about it, if the emperor felt satisfied with the result of the peace talks, he would set off a row of cannons and shoot petals all over the sky. What would the people of Vos be so angry?

If he is not satisfied with the result of the peace talks, the emperor will put a row of gunpowder bags, which scares the Woss to his butt and urinate. What is the result?

They shouldn't agree to the emperor's request?

The emperor was even so excited that he had not had a good sleep for several days!

But now, the mission to discuss the day and the peace talks should be on the way. The Ministry of Works actually reported that it was exploded and someone was dead?!

Zheng Chunqiu felt so bitter!

He was crying and howling, and crazy, just trying to act pitiful and avoid the emperor's anger. At least he came to see him when the emperor was not so angry, but why was it so difficult!

The imperial physician gave himself a bunch of needles as he started to start and fell, including Waiguan, Hegu, Taiyi, Lianquan, Quchi... Both the neck, arms, and even the belly.

And that technique... hurts!

The emperor was urging him to hurry, and the imperial physician's actions were not so particular, and he had to act crazy and manic, and he needed to move around. Good guy, after a few injections, he almost sent Zheng Chunqiu away!

But what can I do? I didn't listen to the eunuch who was passing the message, and the emperor looked extremely bad.

While continuing to play the role of the frightened crazy person, Zheng Chunqiu quickly thought about a solution to the situation in his heart.

But the more anxious you are, the harder it is to concentrate. All you think about is-

Why didn’t Xu Nianping bring those things back?!

Why can't Xu Nianping go there after a while when he goes to preach the imperial edict at this time?

Why didn’t Chu Qing take the initiative to surrender?!

Why didn’t Chu Qing draw the drawings personally?!

Why... why did she resign!

Having said that, Zheng Chunqiu really has to bear the main responsibility for this accident.

The firework craftsmen in the workshop have long suggested that on the drawing of the "conscienceless cannon", the square board behind the cannon barrel should have a mechanism, and it will not be a foundation that integrates with the cannon barrel.

But Zheng Chunqiufei said that it was because Chu Qing had incomplete materials and poor craftsmanship, and he could not make a cannon barrel, which led to such a result.

The reason is that the cart of fireworks and firecrackers he bought was transported to Kyoto from all over the place. They were different from those in workshops, with a wide variety, but they all put the foundation in the cannon barrel.

No matter where the second kicks are made, clay is used as the base and the two ends are blocked. The clay is harder than the paper tube, so the iron plate of their barrel base must be welded thicker and thicker than the barrel body.

Oh my, there is no one else to make a cannon barrel into a bucket.

The craftsmen repeatedly explained that this would not work, but who is Zheng Chunqiu? A high-ranking official, a minister of the Ministry of Works, and a third-rank senior official!

Humble craftsmen are also humble in making suggestions. How can the third-rank official listen to them? Have these craftsmen read books? What knowledge can people who do not even write their own names properly?

Zheng Chunqiu dismantled various fireworks one by one. After careful analysis of his brain with five cars, he came to this conclusion, which is not as good as the knowledge of the craftsmen?

So, a solid bottom cannon was made, filled with gunpowder, buried the leads, pressed the porcelain solid, and then extended the leads from the mouth of the lid, one, two, three, ignite, "Bang!"

well!

After two kicks, there was a sound!

If Chu Qing had enough iron and enough time, he might have thought about how far this solid mortar cannon would be!

However, even if you do it, you have to put an iron lump in it as a shell, right? You can't cover the muzzle with an iron lid, right?

It is also considered harmful to be able to launch the lid. What's wrong with blocking it? It's really a firecracker?

However, the biggest advantage of officials is that it is easy to "pass the blame".

When he was carried to see the emperor, the accident was thrown to Chu Qing in the form of "crazy and unscrupulous": "Ah! How could it explode!

Oh my god! My craftsmen, save my craftsmen!

Why didn’t Chu Qing hand over the errands clearly?”

"What is the ghost called!" the emperor shouted angrily: "There is still a face to scream!"

The emperor, who was full of anger, was already very irritable. Zheng Chunqiu, who was lying on a stretcher, shouted like this and waved his hands around, which made the emperor angry.

Before he could even ask Eunuch Li to slap his mouth, he personally rushed to the front two steps, "Just!" He slapped Zheng Chunqiu's two big mouths with his forehand back!

No matter whether you are really crazy or fake, just shut your mouth first!
