Everyone was in an uproar, looking at each other differently, not knowing what happened to Su Jin, someone shouted: "Su Xiang, what do you mean by this?" I have produced a lot of virtuous ministers in the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, but there are still very few young and courageous people like Su Xiang, and now Su Xiangrong has been in charge of the position for less than a year. ”

"Yes, Su Xiang, how can you throw your hands away, this ...... Where does this begin? ”

"Su Xiang, you can't go, and the emperor will never agree."

Everyone asked gossipily, some people were so excited that they were about to shed tears, Su Jin smiled and looked at everyone: "Thanks to your lordships for your care and tolerance of Su Jin, Su Jin has thanked him here, the Great Song Dynasty is now on the right track, the strength of a country does not depend on individuals, but on the advanced system, the appropriate policy, I have put all the plans in my heart into practice, although I have only been a year, but as early as five or six years ago, from the beginning of my role as vice minister, I have been planning, and now it has gradually matured, The emperor has already decreed that all current policies will not be changed within ten years, so even after I leave, the Great Song Dynasty will still gradually become stronger, of course, it will require the efforts and hard work of all of you here; As far as I am concerned, I was born in the grass and am not good at entrenching in officialdom for too long, so you will allow me to take the first step. ”

"Su Xiang, if you don't say it, we also know, is it because of the emperor? You can rest assured, the emperor is a reasonable king, as long as the monarch and the minister are heart-to-heart, what can not be said? After all, it's all for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty. Someone dared to ask.

Su Jin said with a smile: "This lord is straightforward, but a little naïve, if you are interested, you can go to the streets and alleys outside the port to take a look, Zhang Yaozuo and 10,000 Praetorian Guards have been in ambush for a few hours, the emperor ...... Hey...... If the emperor didn't give instructions, he Zhang Yaozuo would not dare to bring the Praetorian Guards to Mingzhou, his intention was obvious; Everyone, hurry up eating and drinking, I have prepared eight passenger ships for you on the dock, and after you have finished eating and drinking, you can get on the boat and leave, so as not to be dragged down by Su Jin. ”

Everyone was in an uproar again, Zhang Yaozuo came with troops, who was he dealing with? Mingzhou, a small place, if it wasn't the earliest port of the Great Song Dynasty, how could there be Janissaries coming on weekdays? Everyone knows that Zhang Yaozuo has been hot recently, and he and Su Jin are not at odds with each other in the court, so Zhao Zhen sent him to lead the troops, obviously to deal with Su Jin.

Su Jin said in a loud voice: "You adults don't need to panic, eat and drink enough first, you can afford me Su Jin, come to celebrate my mother's birthday, how can I let you be frightened?" Where is Dynasty Mahan? ”

"Son, please command." Wang Dynasty Mahan walked out from behind and saluted with his fists.

"Is your fire battalion already in place?"

"The street intersection on the north and south sides has been guarded, don't worry, they can't break through our defense."

Su Jin smiled and nodded: "Okay, noon is almost here, they are about to attack, you go and guard it in person, let you adults eat and drink well, and then leave safely before evacuating." ”

The two of them agreed and strode away.

Su Jin looked at the officials who had no appetite and smiled: "You don't have to worry, although I only have four battalions of less than 800 troops, even if the number is ten times different, Zhang Yaozuo can't help me." ”

Su Jin snapped his fingers, and a personal entourage took out a small strip-shaped cloth bag from behind him and handed it to Su Jin, Su Jin opened it in an orderly manner, revealing a black iron pipe with a wooden handle, and opened a grooved iron cover on the back side of the iron pipe, stuffed a small paper bag into the breech, pulled out the lead and then slid the iron cover on the hook, and grabbed a handful of black things in the pocket and loaded it into the front section, and plugged the iron pipe mouth with a small wooden stopper.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the gun exclusively developed by my Su family, I didn't want to make it public, but in order for you to be able to eat and drink the birthday banquet with peace of mind, I will demonstrate it to you." Su Jin said with a smile, slowly walked out of the birthday banquet venue with the black iron pipe, pointed the muzzle of the fire gun at a potholed reef on the seaside, lit the fuse in person, the blue smoke came out, and he heard a loud bang, and countless pieces rose up on the reef that was beaten hard by the waves, and the smoke and dust dispersed, and the corner of the reef had disappeared without a trace, and was blasted into powder.

Everyone was amazed, this firearm is so powerful, no wonder Su Jin said that he could control 10,000 forbidden troops with 800, and everyone also understood that there was no such firearm in the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and Su Jin's private soldiers were secretly equipped with such sophisticated weapons.

"Everyone, eat and drink, don't go around, everyone has gifts after the meal, and then someone will take you on the passenger ship and sail away from the land of right and wrong, in the future, don't say that you are good friends with me Su Jin, after I leave, the court will definitely publicize my Su Jin's crimes, you agree with it, I will never blame you, that is also for your safety; I went in first to serve my mother to eat and drink, and said goodbye for the time being. Su Jin bowed his hand, turned around and walked back to the villa quickly.

How could the officials have the heart to eat and drink, they could hear the sound of shouting and killing from the north and south, the sound of gunfire bombardment one after another, and black smoke rising from the north and south of the wharf.

The gunshots rang out, and the intersections on the north and south sides of the dock had already been fired, Su Jin asked Yan Biyun to immediately let all the people accompanying him start boarding the ship, and secretly scolded Zhao Zhen in his heart, he didn't even let An Sheng's birthday banquet finish it, this person was extremely ruthless, he originally planned to board the ship offshore tonight, but at present, it seems that he can only board the ship in a hurry, and there are only more than 400 soldiers in the two battalions, even if the power of the fire gun is amazing, Su Jin is still a little uneasy.

Su Jin personally came to the long street intersection north of the wharf, in order to ensure the defense and safety of the wharf, the intersection of the north and south roads of the wharf has set up sandbag fortifications, and the firecrackers set up firecrackers behind the fortifications to defend.

At this moment, Zhang Yaozuo was driving the Praetorian Guards along the street to charge towards the fortifications, and the fire gun battalion in the south was divided into four groups according to the trained method, every fifty people were in a group, one group fired, and the other group was prepared in rotation behind him, and the remaining two groups were responsible for loading gunpowder and iron marbles, and rows of guns rang out, and the Praetorian Guard soldiers fell down in groups, and their bodies were beaten into a sieve, and within a hundred paces, the power of the fire guns was not at all what the iron chain mail of the Praetorian Guards could stop, and this charge was completely futile suicide.

Su Jin bent down to dodge the dense arrows shot from the opposite side, and hurried to the front of the fortifications, Wang Chao saw Su Jin coming, and quickly gave up the position at the entrance of the lookout cave, and asked: "Son, quickly arrange for everyone to get on the boat, Zhang Yaozuo, this old thing is crazy, obviously can't attack and drives the Praetorian Guard to die, damn it, just now I saw several old subordinates in the past, all of them were collapsed by the firecracker, and the boss in my heart is not a taste." ”

Su Jin patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "I don't want to, it's always a tragedy to fight in the same room, but we have no choice, the boarding has begun, I'm afraid it will take at least an hour, cheer up, can't let them break the defense line, remember, you must not let them get close, the number of people is very different, everything is over when you get close, you must control the shooting within 100 steps to ensure the area of killing, this is a scattered bullet fire, a dozen large pieces." ”

Wang Chao said: "Don't worry, Son, Zhang Yaozuo is hiding in the back, I really want to rush out and slash him." ”

Su Jin said: "I'll go and change Ma Han, his iron-tired bow can have a range of three hundred paces when it is full, if you see Zhang Yaozuo showing his head, you can snipe him." ”

Wang Dynasty nodded and said, "It's okay, Gongzi should be careful." ”

Su Jin nodded and bent down and walked back, suddenly there was a shout at the opposite street, and the Praetorian Guards also stopped charging, Su Jin stretched out his hand to signal everyone to silence, and listened to what was being said on the other side, it was Zhang Yaozuo's voice.

"Master Su, ceasefire and ceasefire, I have something to say."

Su Jin frowned and was silent, not knowing what tricks Zhang Yaozuo was playing.

"Master Su, I know where you are, I have something to say."

Su Jin said loudly: "Isn't that Lord Zhang?" Are you here to celebrate your mother's birthday? Why don't you go to the humble house for a glass of wine? ”

Zhang Yaozuo said: "I don't dare to drink your Lord Zhang's wine, if you drink it, you will lose your head, those officials who celebrate your birthday will be killed by you, I'm afraid they will all be implicated, you are really, you just rebel yourself, and you have to pull so many backs." ”

Su Jin laughed and said, "Rebellion? Is this the crime that the emperor convicted me? Sadly, but I don't have the leisure to talk nonsense with you, and no matter how you slander me, the people will not believe you; Master Zhang, I advise you to cherish the lives of your Praetorian Guard brothers, my musket is not comparable to your sword and bow, and I don't want to harm their lives and annoy me, but you are good-looking. ”

Zhang Yaozuo said with a smile: "I was going to persuade you to surrender, but you came to persuade me, we must have disrupted your plan by acting in advance, presumably you can't escape in a few hours, I have ordered people to mobilize dozens of catapults and bed crossbows to come, although your fire gun is powerful, but I'm afraid it is not as far as my catapult, you are the one who leads the troops to fight, when you understand the truth, I don't need my brothers to die, I can also destroy your fortifications, the reason why I told you in advance is that the emperor ordered you to capture you alive in Beijing." , you better surrender quickly, or I'm welcome. ”

Su Jin was startled, and quickly calculated in his mind, the catapult is really troublesome, but it can be thrown three hundred steps away, and his own fire gun can't threaten it at all, and the fortification surface is narrow and simple, dozens of catapults are bombarded wildly, and there is no way to hold it at all, this Zhang Yaozuo's preparation is really enough.

"Master Su, don't you believe it? Anyway, teaching you to believe me is not a lie. ”

Before Zhang Yaozuo's words fell, the sound of the machine shaft sounded on the opposite side, and Su Jin shouted: "Hide." ”

Before the words fell, the overwhelming debris fell from above, and suddenly the fortifications were covered with dust, and many soldiers were smashed with their heads broken and bleeding, and their faces were covered with blood.

"How? Do you believe it now? Can you surrender? Zhang Yaozuo laughed, obviously extremely proud.

Su Jin sighed and whispered a few words beside Wang Chao, who quickly got up and left, and ran quickly to the dock.
