The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

Two hours later, when the sun was setting, 35 newly built ships and [-] merchant ships from Su Ji formed a huge fleet of [-] ships and Yang Fan set out to sea.

Six iron boats, two at the front, two at the back, and two at the back, were on the periphery, and 3000 soldiers from the Su Clan's Huobao Battalion were scattered on them to serve as guards; twelve ships full of various supplies sailed in the middle circle, and seventeen large ships carried Precious materials such as gold and silver and more than [-] people who followed Su Jin are used in the innermost circle.

Standing on the biggest ship, Su Jin raised his head and looked back. There was still thick smoke rising from the sky above Mingzhou Port in the setting sun, which made the sky above Mingzhou Port look gray and desolate; The crowd was faintly visible. It was the place where the officials attending the banquet and the people who had heard the news gathered spontaneously. There was no cheering, no waving, and only endless silence.

Su Jin let out a sigh of relief, calmed down from his sad emotions, turned back and told the dynasty: "Sign up and order Ma Han, who opened the way ahead, to pay attention to the enemy's situation ahead. Han Jiang, a thief, led the Zhejiang Navy to intercept us on the sea, do a good job." Prepare to meet the enemy, and there must be no mistakes when fighting at sea."

Wang Chao said: "My lord, don't worry, once you find out, fly out the hot air balloon to bombard them immediately, if you don't give them a chance to react, you will definitely sink them in the sea."

Su Jin nodded, and said to Li Chong who was standing beside him with his hands behind his back: "Brother Zhao Ting, you have to work harder after you go out to sea. I'm afraid you will be responsible for all the trivial matters that the crew of the fleet takes care of."

Li Chong said with a smile: "That's natural, you can rest assured."

Su Jin looked at Li Chong and said, "Brother Zhao Ting, do you blame me for dragging you down a road of no return? Originally, you could have a better future in Song Dynasty, but following my ignorance in the future also violated your promise." Ancestral training."

Li Chong shook his head and said: "Brother Su, although I, Li Chong, am stupid, I am not a stubborn person. After seeing you in Luzhou that day, I was first impressed by Brother Su's talent, and then I gradually realized that Brother Su is the most powerful. What is important is not writing poems and lyrics, but the courage to be the first in the world; following Brother Su made me feel more important than ever before. Know what it means to turn your hands into clouds and turn your hands into rain, and what it means to grasp your destiny."

Su Jin smiled and said, "Really?"

Li Chongdao: "It's not me, General Jingtai, General Panjiang, we all felt the same when chatting; what we admire the most is not everything you have done for Song Dynasty, do you know what it is?"

Su Jin smiled and asked, "What is it?"

Li Chong looked at the seagulls soaring up and down in the air, covered with golden yellow in the setting sun, and said slowly: "We all thought in private that the emperor treats you like this, and you will surely seize the throne with your appeal. Firearms, grenades, airships and other advanced weapons should not be difficult to do, but you did not do so, but chose to leave the Song Dynasty and go overseas to find a safe place. This is what makes me completely admire you You have not forgotten that you are a citizen of the Song Dynasty, and your actions are enough to make all the people of the Song Dynasty believe in your loyalty, and they will not believe any slander or rumors."

Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "Brother Zhao Ting, how can you praise me so face-to-face, I will raise my tail, you may be wrong, I chose to leave not because of my loyalty to the emperor, but because I don't want to Seeing that the prosperous Song Dynasty created by us was destroyed by the flames of war, and tens of millions of people were displaced and returned to pain, then what is the meaning of our struggle for more than ten years? Isn't it for nothing that we have worked hard for more than ten years?"

Li Chong was surprised and said: "Then you are willing to throw everything you created with your own hands to the emperor?"

Su Jin said: "Wrong, I didn't throw it to the emperor, but to the people, to the descendants of future generations. What I left for Song Dynasty is not only mines, commercial entrances, convenient roads, etc. These things can be destroyed by manpower, but there is one thing that can never be destroyed, that is the change of lifestyle and the enlightenment of people's wisdom, this is the most valuable wealth, and it is also what I am most proud of."

Li Zhong nodded slowly, looking thoughtfully at the tumbling sea water under the ship's side, the same thoughts in his heart were like a tide.

Su Jin patted him on the shoulder and said: "There are some things I can't tell you in Song Dynasty, but I will tell you everything when we get to the land we want to go to, and you will be even more surprised by then; by the way, you Which ship is your uncle, General Jingtai, on?"

Li Chong blushed and pointed to a big boat in the distance behind, saying: "General Jingtai, General Pan, and Prime Minister Yan are on that boat. They have prepared more than 100 altars of good wine. The time at sea may last all day." Drunk."

Su Jin laughed loudly and said: "That's fine, I've dragged them into the water when I get drunk, but they will be very useful in the future."

Li Chongdao: "By the way, you never told us where we are going? Are we just looking for an overseas desert island?"

Su Jin waved his hands and smiled, "How is that possible? I'm planning to tell you about the situation there. Since you asked, I'll tell you first. On the other side of the sea..."

"I found the enemy's situation..." Su Jin's words were interrupted by Ma Han's loud voice, and the two hurriedly looked towards the bow of the ship. It is the Zhejiang Road Navy ship led by Han Jiang.

Su Jin immediately ordered the other ships to slow down, and the six escort ships quickly moved forward to prepare for the battle. After a stick of incense, the two fleets traveling towards each other met less than a thousand steps away. The bed crossbow and rockets were also ready. Han Jiang gritted her teeth and gave the order to attack freely. After being suppressed by Su Jin for more than ten years, today she can finally kill Su Jin mercilessly.

The two fleets approached quickly, and the enemy ships moved quickly. They suddenly turned to the right after [-] steps away, drew an arc and seized the upper hand. The famous sailor chiseled the water ghost and jumped into the sea wearing a leather jacket. At the same time, Han Jiang suddenly found strange balls rising above the enemy ship. They were pulled by the long rope and slowly drifted towards the bow. Come.

"What are you doing?" Han Jiang frowned and asked the naval commander beside her.

"I don't know the end general." The commander obviously had never seen this battle, but he felt a faint uneasiness.

"Lord Han, don't worry about them, our water ghosts will sneak into the enemy's ship very quickly. They are all white fish in the sea, and they can penetrate the enemy's ship in just a moment." A general said confidently.

Han Jiang let go of her thoughts and ordered: "Close to the enemy ship, enter the range of the bow and arrow, shoot the arrow from above, and dig the boat from below, both ways."

"As ordered!"

Han Jiang watched the hundreds of black shadows under the sea swimming towards the bottom of the opponent's boat like fish. He didn't think the opponent had any chance of counterattack in this battle. He only had a few hundred private soldiers, even though it had been proven that he had a gun , but that thing can hit an unsinkable warship.

Before he knew it, those round balloons had already floated into the sky. Han Jiang looked up at the dozens of small black dots, and really didn't understand what Su Jin was going to do. Suddenly, countless black balls fell from the sky like rain. ,, Due to the lack of accuracy, most of them fell into the sea, but there were still a few 'dongdongdong' falling on the deck, billowing pungent blue smoke.

Han Jiang was still in astonishment, and suddenly heard the shouts of the naval officers around him: "Hurry up and hide!"

Boom boom boom!There was an ear-shattering explosion, and the air wave lifted Han Jiang and her chair into the air, and fell straight to the side of the ship, and fell into the sea with a plop. Han Jiang was shocked with blood from his mouth and nose. Nakamoto was already in a coma, but he woke up immediately after being shocked by the cold sea water. He even drank a few sips of sea water, choked his brain sorely and struggled to float to the surface. In addition, a heart also sank to the cold bottom of the sea.
