....he could have just blew up the whole Ming Cult! Granted there was an excellent opportunity for him to strike all the masters at once, there was no real need to do that. He could have just kept bringing more and more gunpowder, and eventually he'd have enough to blow up the whole damn place with everyone in it. Whether or not he subdued them was a moot point -- theyd die whenever he lit the gunpowder up anyway. Pretty silly !
