The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

On the sea, more than a dozen large ships of the Liangzhe Road Navy caught fire, and the smoke billowed straight into the sky. How could the wooden boats withstand the devastation of the grenade? Three seriously damaged warships had begun to capsize and sink. Not one after another abandoned the boat and jumped into the icy sea water.

In the distance, Su Jin and Li Chong stood on the ship tower watching all this, the muscles on Su Jin's face twitched unnaturally, Li Chong knew what he was thinking, coughed and said: "Brother Su, I wasted some grenades It is indeed a pity, but it is worthwhile to protect the safety of the fleet."

Su Jin pointed to the bean-like grenades all over the world and stomped his feet: "This Mahan, I want to withdraw the command of his airship battalion. These grenades are as precious as gold bumps. Look at him, they are like donkey dung. Throw it down without aiming for the right head."

Li Chong laughed dumbly and said, "Brother Su, it's not easy to hit the boat at such a high place, so don't be picky."

Su Jin sighed and said: "Send the order to stop the attack. They have already fought back, and there is no need to kill them all. Let's save some grenades. When we get to the place, we need to rely on these things to open up territories. We only have more than ten thousand grenades in total." , Now it’s all right, I’ve used up half of it today.”[

Li Chong said with a smile: "400 pieces cost [-] guan."

Su Jin waved his hand and said, "You're still provoking me. Let's save money now. You won't be able to spend a lot of money if you don't make any money after arriving at the place."

Li Chongdao: "Got it, that's right, you haven't said where it is."

Su Jin said: "Don't be busy. It will take at least three months to get to the place. I have plenty of time to say, what do you think about these soldiers who jumped into the sea? I guess they will die sooner or later."

Li Chongdao: "Brother Su is not planning to rescue them on board."

Su Jin said: "Order the soldiers to stop shooting the soldiers on the sea. If it is not a matter of life and death, I really don't want to be an enemy of my compatriots. They still have a few ships that can sail, so they will naturally go to rescue them. Order to turn the rudder to the east and escort them. The fleet left the battlefield at full speed."

……

Han Jiang thumped in the sea, exhausted by the biting cold and the heavy armor on his body. Fortunately, he was a little water-savvy, quickly calmed down, took off his armor, and floated on the sea to find a chance to survive.

The water surface is full of soldiers and bombed torn ship boards, the bombing has stopped, and those things floating in the air have been pulled back by the long ropes on the ship like kites, looking at their own warships, ten Only six or seven of the five warships are still floating on the water, and the rest have long since disappeared, either being blown to pieces or sinking into the sea.

"Help! I'm Han Jiang, come and save me." Han Jiang shouted hoarsely.

Several sailors from the left quickly swam over and brought a long mast from the ship. Han Jiang hugged the mast and breathed a sigh of relief, finally saving his life for the time being.

"General Han, what should we do?" A soldier asked with his lips bruised from the cold, his upper teeth rubbing his lower teeth.

"Row forward, row to the nearest warship, and tell them to drop the rope for rescue." Han Jiang shouted hoarsely.

Several people made concerted efforts to swim to the nearest boat in the icy sea water. The soldiers on that boat were also busy lowering the rope ladder to rescue the soldiers who jumped into the sea. There were still about fifty steps away. , they found Han Jiang and others, and the commander on board shouted loudly: "My lord, don't panic, I will order someone to row a boat to rescue you."

Han Jiang almost burst into tears, and nodded with sobs, like a sea lion in the sea.

The boat was lowered, and two soldiers quickly rowed over. Han Jiang, who thought he was going to die here this time, survived the desperation. He secretly thanked the Bodhisattva for blessing his ancestors and accumulated virtues, and finally saved his life, but when the boat entered within ten feet Suddenly, the boat soared into the air, turned somersault in the air and fell into the water. The two soldiers disappeared instantly, and huge waves appeared on the water.

"What's going on?" People on the big ship and on the sea were puzzled.

A bright red mist surged up from the bottom of the water, instantly dyeing a large area of ​​the sea red, and then, a thigh of a man wearing fast boots with white bones floating up, suddenly someone was shocked Shouted: "It's a sea wolf, it's a sea wolf."

The sailors on the sea suddenly exploded and fled in all directions. The wolf in the sea is a shark. Song people called it a sea wolf or a shark. The sailors knew how powerful he was, but Han Jiang didn't know what it was. [

"What sea wolf? Save me, why the hell are you running? Are you dying?"

No one paid attention to his hoarseness, everyone tried their best to stay away from the bloody sea, and swam towards the big ship with all their strength. In the waves, seven or eight raised fish fins aimed at his direction like sharp knives, and Han Jiang was surrounded by an inexplicable fear.

"Help me, save me." His voice on the surface of the sea seemed desolate, and he suddenly remembered what a sea wolf is. A dish that he often ate in banquets, singing and dancing parties was called shark's fin. Isn't that shark's fin the sea wolf's? Dorsal fin?This is a bloodthirsty sea monster, more ferocious than human.

Han Jiang suddenly understood the reason why these sea wolves were swimming towards her. She was injured in many places, and the blood oozing in the sea water was the light guiding them to attack her.

"Don't eat me, please, I... I'm skinny and skinny, how can I have any meat, are you blind? Those are right behind you, fat and oily..." Han Jiang no longer knew herself What should I say? Fear has already made him lose his ability to think, and he even started a discussion with the sea wolf.

Death came only in an instant, a wide mouth full of sharp teeth rushed towards him quickly, Han Jiang's body flew into the air like a jumping fish, his waist bone made a clicking sound, and in his last consciousness, he I saw the sky under the setting sun, the sunset glow was like blood, and on the sea in the distance, a fleet was heading east. It was Su Jin's fleet; before dying, Han Jiang He finally understood that the biggest mistake he made in this life was to fight against Su Jin. His life had already had three or four decades of good times, but because of this mistake, he had to stop here abruptly.

Seven or eight sharks writhed and bit, and Han Jiang's body was eaten up in an instant, leaving behind a skeleton that slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

……

A few days later in the capital, Zhao Zhen received a report on the situation of the battle. He sat in the imperial study and spoke silently. There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and Huang Peisheng's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered that no one will Go in and disturb me, empress, you can't "crash" indiscriminately."

There was a crisp "pop", and Huang Peisheng lost his voice with an ouch.

"Slave dog, come to mess with me at this time, don't you know what happened in Mingzhou? My uncle was killed by that thief, and I can't even find a body." Concubine Zhang Guifei came with a crying voice, Immediately after a bang, the door of the imperial study room was opened.

Zhao Zhen frowned and looked, only to see Concubine Zhang rushing in with disheveled hair, knelt down on the ground and cried loudly: "Your Majesty, you have to make decisions for your servants and concubines. You must catch that little thief and avenge my uncle."

Zhao Zhen suppressed his anger and said: "How to catch him? He has already sailed into the sea and disappeared."

"The courtiers and concubines don't care, the emperor sent the navy to chase after him, as well as the related people he left behind, and the officials who had a good relationship with him, didn't they all return to Beijing? Kill them all."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Zhen glared and said, "If you say you will kill him, you will kill him?"

"Your Majesty, you are too weak. Today's situation is that you are raising tigers to make trouble. Now that you are being teased like this, you still can't make up your mind. In the future, more people will not take you seriously." Concubine Zhang sneered shouted with foam.

Zhao Zhen turned his head and glared at Concubine Zhang Gui, with a hideous expression on his face, he gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say? Are you talking to me?"

Concubine Zhang Guifei self-destructed her slip of the tongue, quickly covered her mouth and said: "This concubine lost her composure, this concubine just wanted to remind..."

"Shut up." Zhao Zhen yelled angrily, stretched out his hand to grab Concubine Zhang Guifei's hair, waved two hands, and cursed: "Bitch, if you didn't confuse me with crazy talk all day long, I want you My uncle, Han Jiang, and others kept asking me to deal with Su Jin. How can I have today? Do you know? Bao Zheng, Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Han Qi and others have all submitted their papers and resigned. The country is about to collapse, and you are still crazy here. I have tolerated you for too long. From now on, I will demote you into a promise. , if you want to make trouble, go underground and make trouble with your dead ghost uncle, don't bother me, get out!"

Concubine Zhang looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise with her mouth open and tears on her face. After a while, she covered her face and ran away; Zhao Zhen sat down in a chair, blew out the candle, and disappeared into the darkness.
