Qi Xuan answered me seriously, if you want to rebel, I have to give you another piece, which does not have that much power.
In the evening, someone told me that General Bailu wanted to see me.
I thought the matter was done, but I thought that although Egret had a bit of a mean temper, he was very slow in doing things, and in less than half a day...
I ran out happily, only to see a puddle of tattered stuff on the ground.
I pointed to the debris on the ground: "What is this?"
The egret shook its shoulders and replied: "The saltpeter you want is all over the place. I don't know which kind you want. There is also charcoal. Oh, the yellow one is sulfur. The brothers picked it up with their hands."
I picked up so much after it was all blistered, I hope you will accept it."
Even a blind person can see that the egret is not very enthusiastic, and the things he finds are all scattered. I get angry when I see it, but I can't get angry because the more oppressive I am, the less willing these tough soldiers are to cooperate.
.
So I decided to let them experience the power of explosives first.
After selecting some good-quality ones among the pile of crap and making an explosive bag according to the proportions, I called everyone together for a discussion.
Egret led the team over. When he saw me, he said impatiently: "We still have to find brimstone and saltpeter according to your instructions. Sir, don't waste your brothers' time, okay? What if we fail to complete the task..."
"No problem, let me show you something first." I turned a deaf ear to the egret's sarcasm and forgot about it. Instead, I was looking forward to how these lazy guys would react when they saw the power of explosives.
.
Okay, I admit that at this juncture, as the temporary commander-in-chief, I shouldn't be so mean and try my best to make fun of my subordinates.
The egret's expression was as I expected, even meaner than I expected.
I pointed to a huge stone in the distance: "Did you see that thing?"
Hei Po carried it from the opposite mountain in the middle of the night and used it for today's experiment.
"Well, what do you want us to see, sir?"
I waved my arm to the fire unicorn in the distance, and immediately saw a fire chirping and smoking. After the fire unicorn lit the fire, it immediately jumped far away.
Bang... The sound like muffled thunder drowned out the egret's chattering taunts, and the huge stone exploded completely in an instant, leaving only fragments as big as a fist.
"Ah - General Bai... I can't hear." One of the generals shouted loudly.
"What? What are you talking about? This general can't hear you!"
Everywhere was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and they were shouting and quarreling like headless flies.
Don't doubt it, I did it on purpose.
Except for a few of us, everyone else had symptoms of tinnitus in their ears. But Liuchi said that it was not a big problem and would be gone in a while.
After everyone returned to normal, I crossed my arms and said, "General Bai..."
Before I finished speaking, the egret knelt at my feet: "Sir, please give us another half day!"
I waved my hand calmly and motioned for him to go down.
The egret hurriedly retreated, and before leaving, he bowed deeply to me, which he had never done before.
Now I finally know. People in high positions should not talk too much. The less talkative they are, the more people will respect you. As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. If your enemies see through it, you will be unlucky. If your subordinates see through it, then you will be unlucky.
Not only was he unlucky, he was also unlucky for eight lifetimes.
