In the northeast corner of Xizhou City, there is a workshop making firecrackers here. At this moment, there are many women in this workshop.

"Madam, do you think we are doing this right?" Chuntao held a jar in his arms, then turned around and asked Jinghan.

"Yes, that's it. The oil paper on it must be tightly stuffed, and the outside must be tied tightly. It is necessary to ensure that the gunpowder is not breathable and does not let the gunpowder leak out." Jinghan looked over there, then nodded and said yes.

Beside Jinghan, there was a man in his forties. While working, he said, "Madam, can this thing really work? If it works, the old man still has a lot of raw materials here. Then make more and kill the Tartars of the Northern Yuan Dynasty."

While he was talking, he suddenly heard a loud voice. Jinghan smiled, "Uncle, did you hear this sound? This is the earth bomb we made that exploded. Think about it, if it is just this small firecracker, it will hurt people if it is not done well. Don't say we are filling it into cans and cans, if it explodes, it will be quite powerful."

Everyone in the small yard also heard the sound, and everyone became even more excited. "It's still the wife who is so powerful that she can come up with such a way. Humph, it would be strange if those Tartar soldiers didn't scare them to urinate." Most of the women in the yard were maids from the original mansion, and some were female workers in the weaving workshop.

Jinghan smiled and said nothing. This was when he was having dinner in the morning. Jinghan suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers outside and then thought of it.

The nervous and worried that night made Jinghan forget that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Chuncao, who was still beside him, said, "Which guy from a family could not help but steal the firecrackers from his house and set them out to play in the morning. Alas, the New Year's Eve was a good New Year's Eve, and these Tartars were mixed up, and they didn't even set off firecrackers."

When Jinghan heard this, she suddenly had an inspiration in her mind. Firecrackers? Firecrackers are made of gunpowder. Gunpowder can not only be used as firecrackers, but also as bombs. Although the conditions are not enough now and cannot be made into real bombs, it can still be made into earthen bombs with some simple methods.

"Chuncao, I remember if there is a small workshop for making firecrackers in Xizhou? Where is it? Who knows? Take me there quickly." Jinghan stopped eating and took people out and went out to find the workshop.

Fortunately, the people in the mansion went to buy New Year's goods before the New Year and bought a lot of firecrackers there, so they knew the place. Although it was strange why the wife suddenly went to find the workshop, she still took Jinghan to the northeast of the city.

Jinghan brought people here, then found the owner of the workshop and explained his purpose to the shop. When the owner of the workshop heard that he wanted to use gunpowder to deal with the Tartars, he immediately took them to the warehouse.

After Jinghan discussed with the male owner for a long time, they decided to use some pottery jars to hold gunpowder. Such jars are very easy to find, and they are available in almost every household, especially the small ones used for wine, which are the most ideal.

So with the help of the owner and the two masters in the workshop, they began to make hands-on production. After making fifty jars filled with gunpowder, Jinghan sent someone to send the thing to the North City Gate. A master in the workshop followed him to the North City Gate because he was familiar with data such as the time of the lead detonation, and could teach the use of this thing to the people guarding the city very well.

As a result, less than half an hour after the first batch of earth bombs arrived, the Northern Yuan army really arrived. So everyone used a trencher to throw the bombs that ignited the fuse, and the effect was much better than expected.

Looking at the terrifying soldiers of the Northern Yuan Kingdom in the distance, Ziwen and others all laughed. General Li smiled and was happy, "Damn it, I was so angry that I was so angry that I was so angry that I was so angry that I was so angry now. Are you not capable? If you have the ability, come again?"

The soldiers at Zhenyuan Pass lost most of their manpower after guarding the city overnight. Fortunately, reinforcements arrived and then supported them. Then, while the Northern Yuan soldiers were resting, they quietly left Zhenyuan Pass and quickly retreated to Xizhou.

General Li looked at the fewer people behind him, and felt very distressed. You know, they have been stationed in Xizhou for five or six years together, and their relationship is deep. He lost so many good brothers, and no one will be sad.

At this moment, General Li was in a good mood as he watched the bomb show his power. "If there were this thing last night, we would not have lost so many brothers." He said, covering the wound on his shoulder.

"General Li, have you heard of this? My second sister just came up with this thing in the morning. We have never encountered an enemy attack before." Wenxuan was also injured, but fortunately it was not serious.

"If we talk about our governor's wife, she is really caught up with the immortals who come down to earth. She can also make this thing. It's so amazing." General Li and several generals around him praised.

When Ziwen and Wenxuan heard this, they laughed proudly.

At this time, someone sent another eighty earth bombs. General Li felt relieved when he looked at the jars. "We should be able to take a little slow down with these things. This day, we are so tired."

We only breathed a sigh of relief from last night until now. As soon as we relaxed, we felt a little hungry. "Oh, why do I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach?"

"General, we haven't eaten anything from last night to now, so how can we not feel uncomfortable?" The person next to us burst into laughter.

There were quite a few people coming down, and the leader was Zixuan. "What was the sound just now? It was so loud." Zixuan asked while walking up.

Ziwen hurried over and told Zixuan about the situation just now and the local bomb. After hearing this, Zixuan was very happy, "Okay, don't be happy first, come down to have a meal. I asked the people in the city to cook some food for you, hurry up and eat."

So everyone went down to eat in batches. General Li was still talking about the bomb while eating. "Sir Lin, go and tell Mrs. Lin, the more that thing, the better. If we have that thing, it would be much easier to defend the city."

When the person next to him heard this, he thought, "Isn't it much easier to save trouble? A bomb can blow away many people, which is a hundred times better than a bow and arrow."

Zixuan nodded, "Okay, I'll go now. Everyone, let me leave the matter of defending the city to you. Don't worry, the food reserved in our city is enough. As long as we can hold on for a while, the dilemma will be solved when the reinforcements arrive. At that time, everyone can go out of the city to kill the enemy and exhale this kind of humiliation."

After Zixuan finished speaking, he left. He was anxious to find Jinghan, wanting to know about the bomb.

Leave these soldiers behind, eat in shifts, and then continue to stick to it.

Zixuan came all the way to the small workshop where Jinghan and the others were. As soon as he entered, he saw everyone working hard. Zixuan took a closer look, and then found Jinghan among the crowd.

Someone here also found Zixuan, "Madam, it's the master here."

Jinghan turned around and happened to see her husband smiling, "Honey, why are you here?" Jinghan turned around and walked towards Zixuan.

"Come and see what good things have you made?" Zixuan saw that Jinghan's face was a little black and gray, and couldn't help but wipe it off with his sleeve.

Jinghan smiled at the sight, "That's gunpowder. We just made bombs with this thing. How about it? Is it powerful?" In fact, this method is too simple. Its lethality is much smaller than the various bombs in previous lives. However, this is enough. After all, people today have not used this thing for military purposes. Perhaps it is useful, but Jinghan doesn't know. Who cares about these things? As long as it is useful, it's fine.

"Well, General Li said that it's very useful. Those people from the Northern Yuan Dynasty dare not attack. Everyone can rest for a while, they are really tired." Zixuan's favorite thing is that his wife always has a good idea, and she looks so full of energy. Although the time is wrong at this moment, Zixuan still couldn't help but raise his lips.

"Madam, thank you for your hard work." Zixuan whispered.

Jinghan's face suddenly turned red. Zixuan's appearance made Jinghan feel a little embarrassed. "Hey, there are so many people."

Zixuan nodded and then said, "Take me to see, how did you do it?"

So Jinghan led Zixuan into it and told him how this earth bomb was made. "In fact, it's very simple. It's just sealing the explosives in a closed thing, leaving the fuse, and ignite the fuse when used and then throwing it out." Jinghan briefly explained that their conditions were limited and they couldn't make too difficult things, so he had to just put it in this way.

"When the war is over, we will find some skilled craftsmen, think carefully, and make more powerful." Jinghan said. "However, I guess this thing has to be found in Mingyu, who knows many capable people."

"How many of these gunpowders do we have? Can they be used?" Zixuan is more concerned about what is happening in front of him.

The owner of the workshop there came over, "Sir, Xiaomin has accumulated a lot of raw materials because he has made this for many years. Now there are still 2,000 kilograms of saltpeter and 7,800 kilograms of sulfur. As for charcoal, if you want to use this thing, we can make it at any time, which is fine. You have to ask the adults to send some people to help guard the place. These gunpowders are flammable things. If someone takes the opportunity to make trouble, just light the fire, it will be broken."
