Chapter 216 Dog Bites Dog Mouthful: "Who organized the Huayang Society?"
Who are their leaders?
”Quan Xu is not afraid of a powerful mysterious organization, no matter how powerful this organization is, to put it mildly, if he wants Chongzhen's life, Chongzhen can't hide from it.Just like dealing with Zhang Pu, Zhang Pu, Wu Changshi and others died.No one thought that it was Quan Xu's hand, because the two had never met, and there was no grudge, Quan Xu did it in advance, and he didn't give Zhang Pu a chance to play tricks at all."
I don't know, who the hell is the leader!"
Mao Yuanyi cried and laughed: "I have a very limited understanding of them, I only know that to join the Huayang Society, you must follow their orders and complete a task, and to complete the task is to become a peripheral member of them."
Complete the second task of the Huayang Club to become a real member and get a ticket at the same time. ”"Ferry tickets?""
Yes!"
Mao Yuanyi took out a copper card, which was like a small boat, and it was also like the top view of silver ingots in film and television dramas.There are no other patterns, but there are strange patterns at the bottom, as well as the four characters 酉午戍海."
What does that mean?""
I don't know!""
The first task they gave me was to revive a pot of withering orchids!"
Mao Yuanyi smiled bitterly: "I'm too greedy, the reward for that pot of orchids is one hundred taels of silver, I wasn't sure, so I carefully replaced the soil in the pot, re-watered, and the pot of flowers slowly came to life, and then, I got one hundred taels of silver, raised enough money, and published "Wubei Zhi", later, they found me again and issued me a second task, as long as I accepted this task again, as long as it was completed, he would give this ticket!"
”"You participated?""
I participated, I have no reason to refuse!"
Mao Yuanyi smiled bitterly and said: "Being a staff member to Liaodong Governor Gao Hao, this matter is beneficial to me and harmless, why should I refuse?"
”"Are you on board?""
Nope!""
If I get on the boat, they won't let me live!"
Mao Yuanyi smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm not afraid of the jokes of my brother, I also want to be an official, earn a life for my wife, and be a staff member for the governor of the palace, for me, a person who has no reputation, why not?"
”Quan Xu seemed to think: "You refused the third mission?"
”"Yes!""
As long as Huayang Club completes a mission, it will get a ticket, and such a ticket can buy anything from them!""
Anything?
Including official positions?
”"Yes, not only the official position, but also the silver, the mansion, the beauties, everything, there is a clear price, I received the third task, which is to persuade Inspector Sun to withdraw his troops!""
If you complete this mission, two tickets, what else will you get?""
There will be a lot, you can exchange it for 50,000 taels of silver, 4,000 acres of good paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River, or the position of a sixth-grade civil official or a fifth-grade official position, and of course, there are also military positions such as guerrilla and commander!"
Mao Yuanyi had a playful smile on his face: "I refused directly!"
At the time, they told me that I would regret it, but I didn't believe it!
”Quan Xu vaguely understood that such an organization seemed to be very similar to an organization that had lasted for thousands of years in later generations, to be precise, it was an organization similar to Freemasonry.Although it is not a religion, it is derived from a certain idea or pursuit, and the members of this organization are very large, ranging from specialized technicians to elites, as well as wealthy families and businessmen.In the words of later generations, this is actually a very compelling club, a very large social platform, they are not limited to their origins, Donglin Party, Eunuch Party, Qin Party, Chu Party, and even no party can join.Although it is said that Huayang Club is not necessarily mysterious, but the threshold is a bit high, and it is not a high-level talent who has gained fame or unique technology, so it can't get into their eyes and can't enter."
Is Yuan Chonghuan from this Huayang Society?"
Mao Yuanyi shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it is, maybe not, I just haven't been on the boat, because I have been on the boat, I am not allowed to retreat, and I will keep the secret of the Huayang Society for the rest of my life, and I will not betray!"
”Quan Xu vaguely guessed that Yuan Chonghuan should be a member of this Huayang Society.Because he was promoted too quickly before, it was too abnormal.Yuan Chonghuan is not an official family, his father is just a timber merchant, after making a fortune, he supported Yuan Chonghuan to study, he has no background, but in just five years, from a military governor, to a second-grade feudal official.This is simply a miracle in officialdom.Yuan Chonghuan was able to be admitted to Jinshi from Guangdong, which is no less difficult than being admitted to Tsinghua Peking University in Guangdong in later generations.However, after becoming the Jiliao Governor, he fell out of a faint move, if Yuan Chonghuan just wanted to master Dongjiang Town, there was no need to kill Mao Wendong at all, his energy could easily transfer Mao Wendong, and if Mangui was not in harmony, he could be transferred.Mao Wendong can also be transferred if he dares not to listen to him, or he can control it in his hands, in that way, the soldiers up and down Dongjiang Town, for the sake of Mao Wenlong's life, will not disobey Yuan Chonghuan's command.What's more, forcing Lin Dan Khan away is a faint move in a faint move?
It's like never waking up a person who pretends to be asleep, it's not that he doesn't understand, he just doesn't want to do it.Such an association organization, even if it does not subvert the imperial court, the internal volume of its members is very large, it may be a decision-making mistake of the leadership, and a talent like Mao Yuanyi, if used well, is no less than tens of thousands of horses.However, let him be a lobbyist, or is it really ......
Quan Xu knows too little about this Huayang Society, so he only pins his hopes on Sanniang to see if she can use the drone to find clues along the vine.Huayang Society's control of the Ming Dynasty has been up and down, which makes Quan Xu feel strange, could it be that Huayang Society has also experienced a change in power?
Just like in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there was a big explosion of the Apocalypse, Quan Xu's heart moved, and he looked at Mao Yuanyi: "I remember the sixth year of the Apocalypse, you seem to be in Beijing?"
”"Yes, I'm in Jingshi!"
Mao Yuanyi reacted: "You want to ask Wang Gongchang about the explosion, right?"
”"It was the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse (9 a.m. on May 30, 1626), a bizarre explosion occurred in the area near the gunpowder depot of Wang Gongchang, located in the southwest corner of Beijing.The explosion covered a radius of about 750 meters and an area of 223 square kilometers, killing and injuring more than 20,000 people.The cause of the explosion is unknown, the phenomenon is peculiar, and the disaster is enormous, and it is "an unprecedented change in ancient and modern times."
The cause of this event still puzzles historians and scientists today, and is known as the world's three natural mysteries, along with the "Dead Hill Event" that occurred in ancient India more than 3,600 years ago, and the "Tunguska Explosion" that occurred in Siberia, Russia on June 30, 1908.In fact, is it really a puzzle?
In fact, it is pure, and the explosion of the powder magazine, even if it is the explosion of the Jingshi powder magazine, is actually not an uncommon thing.In the twenty-first year of Wanli, the thirty-third year of Wanli, the second, third and seventh years of Chongzhen, there were gunpowder magazines exploding in Beijing.In April, June and August of the 11th year of Chongzhen, the new gunpowder bureau and the Anmin factory (after the explosion of Wang Gong's factory, they changed their vests and moved their positions, called Anmin factory) exploded again, and this time even the Xizhimen city wall collapsed.So, why did the good gunpowder factory blow up?
Daming didn't play gunpowder for a day or two, but when Chongzhen and the apocalypse came, the Gunpowder Bureau of the Ministry of Industry exploded one after another?
If there is no human factor, is it possible?
It seems that it is somewhat untenable to set fire to Wang Gong's factory.The officials all gave Yang Suoxiu and others in the matter, and Wang Yehao, who was in charge of the imperial history, and other words: "Comfort, suspected of spies burning gunpowder privately, begging to strictly prevent secrets!"
”So look back at what the consequences of the explosion at Wang Gong's factory.More than 20,000 people were killed and injured, and the "Zhizhong Zhi" recorded that on the sixth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Wang Gongchang changed, the most dangerous place in the Huangji Palace, a tree fell first, and the Dongnuan Pavilion where the emperor lived in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, shook the pane fan down in two places, and injured the two internal officials.The utensils in the room where the imperial concubine Ren Niangniang lived fell, and Ren Niangniang gave birth to the third son of the emperor on the first day of October in the fifth year of the Apocalypse.The most important problem is that although Wang Gongchang did not directly kill the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he killed his only heir.If Zhu Cijiong does not die, even if he is just a milk doll, it will not be Chongzhen's turn to be the emperor, as long as Chongzhen is not the emperor, Wei Zhongxian's position will not be shaken, because Zhu Cijiong is the legitimate heir, and no one can shake it.Once the apocalypse dies, Zhu Cijiong is the heir who can't be beaten, and Chongzhen has no chance.Mao Yuanyi shook his head and said: "I also feel strange, the gunpowder stored in Wang Gong's factory at that time was about 30,000 catties, and it didn't seem to have such a great power!"

”Jeon Xu was speechless for a moment.Mao Yuanyi does not understand mathematics, one gram of black powder combustion can produce 750 to 850 joules of energy, and one gram of TNT can produce 4184 joules.The Ming system of 30,000 catties is equivalent to 35,640 catties in later generations, about 1,782 tons, which is almost equivalent to 3.2 tons of TNT, intuitively speaking, it is equivalent to blowing up 320 tons of objects 4.2 kilometers.If there is really a person who understands the calculation of gunpowder energy, he can deduce that the explosion of Wang Gongchang can affect the palace, because the palace goes to the inner city.The circumference of the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty is six miles and 16 steps, 960 meters long from north to south, 760 meters wide from east to west, with an area of 072 square kilometers, and the inner city is 275 kilometers long from north to south, 25 kilometers wide from east to west, with an area of 687 square kilometers.Wang Gongchang is in the West Gate, from the West to the East Gate is only 2,500 meters.Although it is impossible to determine how far away the specific location of Wang Gongchang is from the palace, it can be estimated that it is definitely within 400 to 800 meters, and once it explodes, it will have a certain impact on the palace.Mao Yuanyi shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be them, there is no point in them doing this, the people living in the inner city are all high-ranking officials and nobles!"
”"Huh!"
Quan Xu smiled and said, "Maybe they are dog-eat-dogs?"
