    There was no sound in the wide and towering gold-encrusted cowhide tent. Hundreds of generals, big and small, and Prince Baylor stood upright, all pointing to the corpses of more than twenty soldiers lying flat in the middle of the tent, and standing with their hands behind their backs.  In front of these corpses is the first brave general of the Qing Dynasty, the first Batulu, the chief assistant and grand master of the dynasty, Obai.  Up to Yue Le and Jie Shu, who are princes, down to ordinary lieutenants and generals, they dare not even take a breath, for fear of disturbing or disturbing this powerful and meritorious commander-in-chief of the whole army.

    The reason why Oboi was so dedicated, of course, was that these Qing soldiers were all killed by the mysterious weapons of the Wu army. The night before, the Qing army's plan to encircle and wipe out the Wu army's Gao Dejie department failed. One of the important reasons was because Gao Dejie  The army used this mysterious firearm to kill Zhao Liangdong's army by surprise and became dizzy. Otherwise, as long as Zhao Liangdong's army took advantage of the favorable location to hold the Gaode Jie army for two hours, the Mite Qing Laita cavalry could rush to the battlefield for reinforcements.  If the established tactical goal of annihilating the Gaode Jiejun is not achieved, the next best thing is to severely injure the Gaode Jiejun, avenge the shame, and at the same time boost morale and stabilize the morale of the army.

    However, neither the main purpose nor the secondary purpose of the Qing army was achieved. What caused this result happened to be the mysterious weapon of the Wu Sangui army that Oboi valued the most.  The corpse of the soldier under the mysterious firearm, can you not carefully explore the course of the battle?

    Judging from the situation at the time and the wounds on the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, these mite soldiers obviously died of gunpowder explosions. At the same time, judging from the iron sheets and horns dug out from the wounds of the corpses, Wu Jun's weapons are likely to be gunpowder packed into thin iron.  In the tube, light it with fire and throw it out, the gunpowder explodes in the tube, the iron tube shatters and flies around, killing and injuring nearby enemies.  The explosive shells of the Qing army's mother-child artillery are also of this type. Of course Aobai understands the principle, but the only thing Aobai doesn't understand is the explosive power of Wu Jun's gunpowder weapons.

    Judging from the report of Zhao Liangdong and others, Wu Jun's mysterious firearm is not big, about the size of a flagon jug, and its weight is definitely not too heavy. An ordinary soldier can easily throw this weapon two or three times.  ten paces away.  According to common sense, there must not be much gunpowder that can be packed into such a weapon, but the power of the explosion can almost catch up with that used by the Qing army.  And so much so that several corpses were simply blown into limbs, their chests and abdomen were opened, and even their internal organs flowed out. Is this the power that an explosion of one or two catties of gunpowder can produce?

    "Report to the grand master, the craftsmen have rushed to make what you want." The voice of the Chinese military guard Hadaha broke the silence in the tent, and he knelt down on one knee in front of Oboi.  Lang Sheng said: "According to the grand master's instructions, one of these two iron cylinders contains three catties of gunpowder, and the other contains two catties of gunpowder. A straw man has been set up outside the tent to test the power of the explosion at any time."  .¡±

    Ao Bai didn't answer, just picked up the small iron tube first, and after weighing the weight, Ao Bai frowned quickly - even the medicine belt tube was too heavy, throwing it thirty steps away, with a thick waist and round arms  Hercules can do it, but it is very difficult for ordinary soldiers.  But Aobai refused to give up, and turned to Zhao Liangdong who was next to him and asked, "Qingzhi, take a look, how does it compare with the Wu Jun firearm you saw the night before yesterday?"

    "Back to Grand Master, Wu Gou's firearm is not that big." Zhao Liangdong replied tremblingly: "It was dark and he couldn't see clearly, but the general can still be sure that it is not that big, it should be smaller, maybe only half the size."

    "Grand Master, could it be because our craftsmen rushed to make it, and the iron cylinder is thicker, so it is big and heavy?" Yue Le asked.

    Obai picked up another fragment of Wu Jun's weapon, compared the thickness, and found that the fragment of Wu Jun's weapon was indeed thinner. He couldn't help but ignited the last ray of hope, and ordered: "Then try to blow it up, come out and go to the scene  Take a look."

    All the generals of Chiqing agreed together, and hurriedly surrounded Oboi to the experiment field on the right side of the big tent, lit a fire in the open space full of straw people, and detonated the two iron cylinders containing two catties of black powder and three catties of black powder one after another  , the result was naturally disappointing to Oboi. Even the iron cylinder with three catties of powder only blasted the wall of the cylinder into more than a dozen pieces, knocking down a few straw people around, and it was far from reaching the level of Wu Jun's firearms.  Effect.  As for the iron cylinder containing two catties of powder, it simply exploded the iron cylinder into four or five pieces, knocking down the two straw men around it.

    Seeing that the imitation explosive tube made by the craftsmen of the Qing army had only such an effect, Yue Le, who had had a glimmer of hope before, could no longer speak.  Puzzled, he said: "Wu Sangui's lackeys can use magic spells? How can their firearms be so powerful?"

    "Idiot!" Aobai shouted coldly: "It's come to this point, what's the matter?Only one life.  "

    "Tutang, you misunderstood, the emperor really didn't give me such a secret decree." Yue Le was angry and funny, and said in a low voice: "If Tutang doesn't believe it, Xiao Wang can also swear to Tianming.  Conceal the slightest bit, let Xiao Wang die under the knife and arrow, and never stand up!"

    Speaking of this, Yue Le lowered his voice again, and said with a wry smile: "Besides, you also know Tutang, although I am the emperor's pro-cousin, but in the court, I am not as good as you in Tutang - the former emperor would rather  Tuoguyu outsiders don't need me, so how could the emperor give me such a secret decree?"

    What Yue Le said was the truth. In the Qing court, he was indeed not as popular as Tu Hai before he lost power. The suspicion and exclusion he received were deeper than Tu Hai. How could Xiao Mazi hand over such an important and confidential matter to him?  give him?  After Tu Hai considered this point, he quickly said suspiciously: "Since the secret decree is not with you, Prince An, will it be with Prince Kang and Prince Shun?"

    "I don't know about that." Yue Le spread his hands, and comforted him: "Tutang, don't think too much, the emperor released Wu Yingxiong and reinstated him, maybe it was because Wu Yingxiong has always treated us in the Qing court.  Because of his loyalty. As you know in Tutang, when the old thief Wu Sangui sent people to Beijing to pick up Wu Yingxiong, Wu Yingxiong did not betray the Qing court. Perhaps the emperor released Wu Yingxiong and rewarded him for the sake of this.  Return his official position."

    "Prince An, if it's really that simple." Tu Hai said with a wry smile, "You and I both know the relationship between Taishi Ao and the emperor, and what Tu Hai dare not lie to the prince is that the emperor has actually  Putting an insider next to Taishi Ao is to guard against Taishi Ao. The monarch and ministers are so suspicious, what else can happen?"

    Yue Le was silent, and soon understood the real intention of Tu Hai's sudden visit to him, and at the same time, he also felt a sense of contempt for Tu Hai - no matter what, Tu Hai was rescued from the prison by Oboi  , to help Tuhai get rid of the prison where he was tortured every day, even if he didn't repay him, now that Xiao Mazi had just revealed a little intention to target Aobai, Tuhai immediately wanted to get closer to the imperial party, and maybe even wanted to make him  The benefactor sold it in exchange for his own glory and wealth. This kind of character is really too noble.

    "No, I have to see Prince Kang." Tu Hai gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice: "Prince An, are you going? He is also your cousin, so it's easier to talk."

    "I won't go." Yue Le shook his head and replied: "Whether Jie Shu has such a secret edict in his hand or not, I'm not interested. Now I just want to kill Wu Sangui as soon as possible, and get rid of this real confidant for the emperor.  Big trouble."

    "Prince An, it's true that the old thief Wu Sangui is the emperor's real confidant." Tu Hai didn't notice the contempt shown by Yue Le at all, and even persuaded him: "But if the emperor doesn't want to deal with Wu Sangui now, but wants to get rid of him."  Another confidant's serious trouble, if you are on the wrong team, my lord, you will lose all chances."

    "Get out! Get out immediately!" Yue Le was furious, pointed at the door and roared, "Get out now, you like to stand in line and stand by yourself, I, Yue Le, have no interest in that! Get out!"

    Tu Hai's face turned pale, and he finally realized that his shameless act had completely angered the upright Yue Le. When he wanted to explain, he was stared at by Yue Le, who was so frightened that he dared not speak.  Leaving in embarrassment, Yue Le spat heavily at his back, cursing: "Shameless!"

    Furiously, he walked around the room for a long time with his hands behind his back, hesitating whether he should send a memorial to Xiao Mazi, asking Xiao Mazi to put Wu Yingxiong back in prison or to behead him, when the soldiers suddenly came in from the door and said yes  When Aobai summoned him, Yue Le didn't dare to neglect, he hurriedly changed his clothes and left the city, and went all the way to the big tent of Aobai's Chinese army outside the city.  When he entered the big tent again, he saw Oboi sitting alone on the handsome chair, Yue Le hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Little Wang Yue Le, I have been ordered to meet the Grand Master."

    Oboi, who usually doesn't pay much attention to etiquette, was uncharacteristically this time, as if he didn't hear Yue Le's voice, he didn't ask Yue Le to get up for a long time.  Curious in his heart, Yue Le raised his head quietly, and when he carefully looked at the expression on Oboi's face, he saw that Oboi was also holding the mansion newspaper in his hand, and on his cheeks covered with thick beards, it had hung up at some point.  I shed two turbid old tears

    "Grand Master" Yue Le had a sore nose and repeated, choking with sobs: "Little Wang Yue Le, I was ordered to meet the Grand Master of the Qing Dynasty." (To be continued.
