Today we are adding a new source to our file and changing our Friday image gallery to an incident in Chinese history worthy of a place in any who dunnit novel list.
For today’s article, we are sidestepping back a wee way into time. Back 400 years in fact to Beijing. In 1626, a massive explosion destroyed the better part of what was, at the time, the South West Beijing. Today, no one is still quite certain who, what or why.
What is known is that the explosion occurred at the Wanggongchang Armory where, naturally enough arms and munitions were stored. Including a considerable amount of gunpowder. But the course?
Some speculate it was an accident with the gunpowder, poor handing maybe? Others contend it was an earthquake, a build up of gasses or the the first know nuclear attack from Aliens. Modern scientists have even suggested it may have been a hurricane.
So, what really happened at Wanggongchang Armory?
For answer to that and more background detail, we turn to our latest news source; TWOC or “The World of Chinese.”
