Chapter 558 The Divine Thunder Division of Si Dong in the Imperial City... (first update)
At the same moment, almost everyone within a radius of more than 20 miles from the explosion heard the violent roar.
And people who were three or five miles away from there even felt as if they heard thunder exploding in their ears.
Following the huge explosion, thick smoke rose and rolled towards the sky, seeming to confirm the changes that occurred in the east.
Fortunately, that area is relatively remote, otherwise, I really don't know what kind of trouble it would cause.
With great difficulty, he felt that the long ringing in his ears gradually disappeared. Guanjia, who had regained his hearing, looked at the completely collapsed city wall in front of him.
This is no longer something that human power can contend with. No wonder Xiao Gao said before that the gunpowder made by the Taoist priest named Lin cannot be put on the table at all.
It seemed as if the gates of Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia Kingdom thousands of miles away, would collapse like the bright moon.
Gao Zhang, who was on the side, saw the direct look in Master Zhao Ji's eyes. After standing next to him, he started to tell the Master next to him in a calm and determined tone.
Bu Fu was a liar, and the raw materials for making his own landmines were gunpowder. Official Zhao Ji couldn't help but look at Gao Zhang beside him.
In his eyes, he was full of surprise.
"He was so embarrassed that he thanked the pipit and the pipit as a teacher. Did he know something about the gunpowder produced by the gunpowder manufacturer? It is used to burn the enemy with smoke, confuse the enemy, and smoke the enemy."
"But I have never heard of gunpowder having such power to destroy cities and villages."
Facing Master Zhao Ji's shocked expression, Gao Zhang smiled shyly and lowered his voice.
"Master, the reason is that the master does not agree with the formula."
Zhao Ji was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly realized that he raised his forehead in vain.
"So that's it, it's true, you really deserve to have the legs of a fairy..."
Hearing Master's sudden expression of "I understand very well, I understand deeply", Gao Taoyan felt that Master's attitude seemed to be a bit too much.
Considering that Master has always been very feudal and superstitious, it is not surprising that he behaved like this.
"Taoist Master Peng, teach me how to use ordinary things to build an immortal boat so that people can climb high and see far away."
"And the mine used is not ordinary gunpowder. With a slight change, it can have the power of thunder."
"Other than gods, who else can swim protrudingly and have legs like that?"
Facing his master Zhao Ji, who had always been feudal and superstitious, he was now in a state of self-love. Gao Zhang was able to kill him against his will when he attacked.
Wrong, Master, everything I said is wrong.

Fortunately, after the excitement passed, reason returned to the outside of the head again, and the whole person finally felt a little bit like the majestic Master Zhao Ji of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
He frowned, stroked his short beard, and began to think about the production and storage of that new type of gunpowder.
His eyes swept back and forth, and he had no doubt landed on Yang Xiong standing not far away.
"I remember, Ru Ming did not deny that I am in the main city of Chentai City..."
"I am an official, are you a slave?" Yang Xiong came closer and replied with humility.
"In those past few years, I have handled the affairs of the Imperial City Department very well, and I am very satisfied."
"I remember that under the jurisdiction of the Imperial City Department, one is responsible for the Detective Department, and the other is responsible for the Ice Well Affairs Department."
"I intend to set up another department, called the Divine Thunder Division, to be responsible for the production of divine thunder gunpowder."
After seeing Yang Xiong accept the order, the official Zhao Ji turned his head and looked at his ruthless disciple Gao Zhang. After thinking about it, Yong Tuo told Yang Xiong a few words.
If you don't mean it, then God Lei Siqiu will obey Xiao Gao's guidance, and I, Yang Xiongqiu, will continue to fully cooperate as I do now.
Following the master's arrangements and assignments, Gao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and let the Imperial City Department handle the matter. At least in terms of confidentiality, it would be better.
As for letting myself be responsible for presiding over and guiding, it is also in line with my own ideas. After all, gunpowder can not only be used as explosives, but also has many other military uses.
Without the cooperation of the Kaifeng Metal Workshop, Gao Zhang really had the urge to build artillery right now.
When I thought about it, I realized that at that time, the ancients were more skillful with gunpowder weapons than later generations.
And playing too fancy will weaken the true power of gunpowder weapons anyway.
After all, playing with gunpowder is very expensive. Now, why not think about it first and come up with some high-quality and cheap gunpowder weapons that are more suitable for use on the battlefield.
As for things like artillery, we might as well back off a little and let the Kaifeng Metal Workshop first find ways to cast better quality steel and more comprehensive engineering machinery before doing it.
Artillery is not necessary, but if you have black powder explosive packs, you can play with gasoline barrels like conscienceless cannons, and you can do it all.
Especially if it was used to deal with the Xixia people, Gao Zhang felt that this thing was definitely more suitable for the northwest frontier than the artillery that weighed one or two thousand kilograms and could not be moved.
There are not only plains there, but also many high mountains. The mobility of the artillery is too low, but the conscienceless artillery will not have such worries.

The rewards given to Gao Zhang finally came true. He was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, a Zhizhi imperial edict, an imperial edict of the Privy Council, an inspector of military weapons, and a young minister of Honglu Temple.
Of course, among Gao Zhang's official positions, there was only one more Hanlin bachelor, a Zhizhigao, and one less Longtuge to be made.
I want to know whether Hanlin bachelors, in the Song Dynasty, were still extremely noble officials and knew how to make imperial edicts.
Only those three people, probably many of whom were clumsy, could understand the meaning of making and drafting imperial edicts.
For other official positions, knowledge is added to make the imperial edict, which is called "foreign control". Only Hanlin bachelor's degree is added to the knowledge and imperial edict, which is called "foreign control".
That means no. From the bright moon, Gao Zhang already had the right to draft edicts according to the decree.
Looking at the oracle, and then looking at the frowning but unconcealed surprise of the No. 1 Duke Gao Zhang, Yang Jian also took the initiative to salute Gao Zhang.
"Congratulations to the number one scholar. That honor is truly rare in the world."
"Thank you, Zhongguan Yang. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. Just no. I am fourteen years old and have to take on this important task. I am afraid that there will be many critics if I don't do it."
Gao Zhang asked Yang Jian in a low voice. Anyway, everyone was so familiar with each other, and Yang Jian would not hide it from him.
"Isn't that natural? In fact, your decision to be promoted to an official position, Lord Zhuangyuan, has been delayed for a long time."
"Fortunately, no one can doubt whether your contribution is serious or not. Whether it is the suppression of Zhu's rebellion in Jiangnan or the establishment of a shipping department in Hangzhou, the tax revenue has increased significantly in a short period of time."
"For example, if Suzhou grows double-cropping rice, which greatly increases the grain output in the south of the Yangtze River, many people would like to criticize me."
"It turns out that I used the government's name to purchase grain at market prices, which prevented the sharp drop in grain prices in the south of the Yangtze River from hurting farmers..."
The official family was so angry that the Japanese state was beaten to a bloody pulp by the Fusang state. The gold and red silver tribute paid by the Fusang state greatly alleviated the pressure on the Song Dynasty coins.
I have a fever tomorrow and I have been feeling groggy all day, so I will update twice. I hope it will be better soon. There won’t be too many updates during the next few days after receiving Donglai. I hope you can understand me. I will continue to update five after my body recovers.
