Everyone was in an uproar and looked at each other with different expressions. They didn't know what happened to Su Jin. Someone shouted loudly: "Su Xiang, what do you mean by this? We have had many good ministers in the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years, but people like Su
Young, promising and courageous people like Xiang are still rare. Now Su Xiangrong has been in the position of prime minister for less than a year. People throughout the Song Dynasty are praising him. The country is in great condition. Even if there are some unsatisfactory things, Su Xiangrong will not resign.
But don’t act out of emotion.”
"Yes, Su Xiang, how can you throw away your hands and leave? This... where do you start talking about this?"
"Xiang Su, you can't leave, the emperor will never agree to it."
Everyone was asking questions, and some people were so excited that they were about to shed tears. Su Jin smiled and looked at everyone and said, "Thank you for your care and tolerance for Su Jin. Su Jin would like to thank you all."
Song Dynasty is now on the right track. The prosperity of a country does not depend on individuals, but on the advancement of the system and appropriate policies. I have put into practice all the plans in my mind. Although I have only been prime minister for a year, as early as May 6th,
Years ago, I have been planning since I became deputy prime minister, and now it has gradually matured. The emperor has already issued a decree that all current policies will not be changed within ten years, so even after I leave, there will be no changes.
The Song Dynasty will still gradually become stronger, and of course it requires the efforts and hard work of everyone here; for me personally, I come from a grassland and am not good at staying in official circles for too long, so you can allow me to take the first step."
"Xiang Su, we know even if you don't tell us, is it because of the emperor? Don't worry, the emperor is a sensible king. As long as the emperor and his ministers confide in each other, there is nothing that can't be said. After all, they are all thinking about the country and the country of the Song Dynasty.
Well?" someone asked boldly.
Su Jin chuckled and said: "This lord is quite straightforward, but a little naive. If you are interested, you can go to the streets and alleys outside the port to see where Zhang Yaozuo has been ambushing with ten thousand imperial guards.
It's time, Your Majesty... Hehe... If Your Majesty doesn't give you permission, even Zhang Yaozuo, even with his great courage, wouldn't dare to bring the imperial guards to Mingzhou. His intention is obvious. Everyone, hurry up and eat and drink. I've already given it to you on the dock.
Eight passenger ships have been prepared. After you have finished eating and drinking, you can board the ship and leave so as not to be dragged down by Su Jin."
Everyone was in an uproar again. Zhang Yaozuo came with his troops. Who was he dealing with? If Mingzhou, a small place, was not the earliest port in the Song Dynasty, how could the imperial guards come here on weekdays? Everyone knows that Zhang Yaozuo has been very popular recently, and he and Su
Jin didn't like Su Jin in the court either, so Zhao Zhen sent him to lead his troops, obviously to deal with Su Jin.
Su Jin said loudly: "My lords, don't panic. Eat and drink enough first. You think highly of me, Su Jin, and come to celebrate my mother's birthday. How can I let you be frightened? Where is the dynasty's mahan?"
"Master, please give me your instructions." Dynasty Mahan came out from behind and saluted with clasped fists.
"Is your fire gun camp already in place?"
"We have guarded the intersection on the north and south sides. Don't worry, Young Master, they can't break through our defense line."
Su Jin smiled and nodded and said: "Okay, noon is coming soon, and they are about to launch an attack. Go and guard in person, and let all the adults eat and drink before leaving safely before evacuating."
The two men from the dynasty, Mahan and Han accepted the promise and strode away.
Su Jin looked at the officials who had lost their appetite and smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone. Although I only have four battalions with less than 800 troops, even if the number is ten times different, Zhang Yaozuo can't do anything to me."
Su Jin snapped his fingers, and a personal attendant took out a long strip of cloth bag from behind and handed it to Su Jin. Su Jin opened it in an orderly manner, revealing a black iron pipe with a wooden handle. The iron pipe
Open a groove-shaped iron cover on the back side, stuff a small paper bag into the breech, pull out the lead, then slide the iron cover tightly and grab a handful of black stuff in his pocket.
Put all the stuff into the front section, and plug the iron pipe mouth with a small wooden plug.
"Everyone, this is a fire gun developed exclusively by our Su family. I don't want to make it public, but in order for you to enjoy your birthday banquet with peace of mind, I will demonstrate it for you." Su Jin laughed and said, holding the black iron pipe and slowing down.
Stepping out of the birthday banquet venue, he pointed the muzzle of the gun at a rugged rock on the seaside, lit the fuse personally, and when blue smoke came out, there was a loud bang, and the rock was extremely hard and battered by the waves.
Countless pieces of debris rose up from the sky, the smoke dispersed, and the corner of the reef disappeared without a trace, being blown into powder.
Everyone was stunned and exclaimed. This firearm was so powerful. No wonder Su Jin said that eight hundred can defeat ten thousand imperial troops. Everyone also understood that the imperial army did not have such firearms at all, but Su Jin's private soldiers were not equipped with such weapons.
Such sophisticated weapons were secretly equipped. It was obvious that either Su Jin had different intentions or that Su Jin had expected that the emperor would one day attack him. It was really surprising that the emperor and his minister had their own agenda.
"Eat and drink well, everyone, and don't wander around. After the meal, everyone will give you a gift. After that, someone will take you on a passenger ship and sail away from the place of right and wrong. From now on, don't talk about being friends with me, Su Jin. After I leave, the court will
They will definitely publicize my Su Jin's crimes. Everyone agrees, I will never blame you, and this is for your safety. I will go in first to serve my mother to eat and drink, and I will say goodbye for the time being." Su Jin handed over his hands, turned and hurried back to the villa.
And go.
The officials had no intention of eating or drinking. They could hear shouts of killing from the north and the south, the sound of gunfire and gunfire one after another, and black smoke rising from the north and south of the pier. Everyone stood there trembling with fear and ready to collapse.
Gunshots rang out, and the intersections on the north and south sides of the pier were already under fire. Su Jin asked Yan Biyun to immediately let all the people accompanying him board the ship. He secretly cursed Zhao Zhen in his heart for not even allowing An Sheng to finish his mother's birthday banquet.
This man was extremely ruthless. He originally planned to board the ship and leave the shore tonight, but now it seems that he can only board the ship in a hurry. There are only more than 400 fire gun soldiers in the two battalions. Even though the power of the fire gun is amazing, Su Jin still
Somewhat worried.
Su Jin personally came to the intersection of Changjie Street in the north of the pier. In order to ensure the defense safety of the pier, sandbag fortifications were built at the intersections of the north and south roads of the pier. The firecrackers set up firecrackers behind the fortifications for defense.
At this moment, Zhang Yaozuo was furiously driving the Imperial Guards along the streets to charge towards the fortifications. The "King" Fire Gun Battalion in the south was divided into four groups according to the trained method, with fifty people in each group. One group fired, and the other group fired.
Taking turns to prepare behind them, the remaining two groups were responsible for loading gunpowder and iron pellets. Rows of gunshots rang out, and the Guards soldiers fell down in groups, their bodies beaten into sieves. Within a hundred steps, fire muskets
The power of the enemy cannot be stopped by the iron armor of the Imperial Guards. This kind of charge is completely futile and suicide.
Su Jin bent down to avoid the dense arrows fired from the opposite side, and quickly rushed to the front fortification. Seeing Su Jin's arrival, the Dynasty quickly gave up his position to look out at the entrance of the cave, and asked: "Master, quickly arrange for everyone to get on the boat. Zhang Yaozuo is here."
The old guy is crazy. He drove the Imperial Guard to his death when he clearly couldn't attack. Damn it, I just saw several of my former subordinates being killed by fire blunderbuss, and I felt really bad."
Su Jin patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "I don't want to either. Fighting between roommates is always a tragedy, but we have no choice. The boarding has already begun. I'm afraid it will take at least an hour. Cheer up and don't let them break."
For the defense line, remember, they must not be allowed to get close. There is a huge difference in the number of people. Once they get close, everything will be over. You must control the shooting within a hundred steps to ensure area damage. This is a shotgun, and a large area will be hit.
"
Wang Chao said: "Don't worry, young master, Zhang Yaozuo is hiding at the back. I really want to rush out and chop him with a knife."
Su Jin said: "I'm going to bring over Ma Han. His iron-tired bow can shoot at a range of three hundred steps when fully drawn. If you see Zhang Yaozuo showing up, you can kill him with a sniper."
Chao Chao nodded and said, "That's fine. Master, please be careful."
Su Jin nodded and bent down to walk back. Suddenly, there was shouting from the opposite street, and the Imperial Guards also stopped charging. Su Jin stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be silent, and listened to what was being said on the other side. It was Zhang Yaozuo's voice.
.
"Master Su, cease fire, cease fire, I have something to say."
Su Jin frowned and said nothing, wondering what tricks Zhang Yaozuo was playing.
"Master Su, I know where you are and I have something to say."
Su Jin said loudly: "Isn't that Mr. Zhang? Are you here to celebrate my mother's birthday? Why don't you go to the humble house to have a glass of wine?"
Zhang Yaozuo said: "I don't dare to drink Mr. Zhang's wine. If you drink it, you will lose your head. You will kill those officials who are celebrating your birthday. I'm afraid all of them will be implicated. You really want to make your own plans."
It’s just a defecation, but you still need to wear so many back braces.”
Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "Conspiracy? Is this the crime the emperor has convicted me of? It's sad, but I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you. You can slander me as much as you want, but the people will not believe your words; Mr. Zhang,
I advise you to cherish the lives of the brothers of the Imperial Guard. My firecrackers are not comparable to your swords, bows and arrows, and I don’t want to kill them or make me angry, but you look good."
Zhang Yaozuo chuckled and said: "I was going to persuade you to surrender, but you persuaded me instead. Our early action must have disrupted your plan. You must not be able to escape in a few hours. I have ordered people to mobilize
We came here with dozens of catapults and crossbows. Although your fire blunderbuss is powerful, I'm afraid it can't hit as far as my catapult. You are the one who leads the troops in war. You should understand the truth. I don't need my brother at all.
Even if they are sent to death, they can also destroy your fortifications. The reason why you informed us in advance is because the emperor ordered you to be captured alive and brought to the capital. You'd better surrender quickly, otherwise I won't be polite."
Su Jin was startled and thought quickly in his mind. The catapult was really troublesome, but it could be thrown 300 steps away, and his own muskets could not threaten it at all. Moreover, the fortification area was narrow and simple, and dozens of catapults were bombarding it wildly.
If it explodes, it will be impossible to defend it. Yao Zuo's preparations are really sufficient.
"Master Su, don't you believe it? That's fine, I'll teach you to believe that I'm not just an empty threat."
Before Zhang Yaozuo finished speaking, the sound of the crankshaft sounded from the opposite side, and Su Jin shouted: "Hide."
Before he could finish his words, an overwhelming amount of rubble was thrown from the sky. Suddenly, the fortifications were filled with dust. Many soldiers were hit with broken heads and bloody faces, and their faces were stained with blood.
"How? Do you believe it now? Can you surrender?" Zhang Yaozuo laughed loudly, obviously very proud.
Su Jin sighed and whispered a few words to Wang Chao. Wang Chao quickly stood up and left, running towards the pier quickly.
