The Department of Science and Engineering has just emerged. These students are only in their twenties, and the younger ones are only fourteen or fifteen years old. But such a group of child soldiers actually defeated the Jin people's siege in less than a stick of incense.
The troops were all destroyed under the city walls.
After a moment of silence, the city top erupted into cheers, and even Zhao Gou cast approving glances at the students.
The Song Dynasty ruled the world with literature. When Xu Zizhen opened the Department of Science and Engineering, he was questioned and despised by scholars all over the world. These students had to be sent to Yingtian College because their families were poor and could not afford a husband to study.
I didn't expect that I would fight such a beautiful battle in just a few months.
These students had never been treated like this before. The cheers made them a little overwhelmed, and the gaze of the prefect Zhao Gou made them even more flattered.
But Xu Zizhen was the only one who didn't give them a good look. His face was as cold as water and he said in a cold voice: "I asked you to scare away the golden dogs. Who asked you to kill them all?"
The students' pride suddenly faded away. They looked at each other and did not dare to say anything. They lowered their heads one by one. Indeed, they were so excited just now that they forgot Xu Zizhen's instructions.
Xu Zizhen continued to curse bitterly: "The Jin people might have been scared away, but now it's better. You have beaten them out of their anger. Then it's time for the army to come forward. Do you dozens of people go up and resist it? Really?
What is the most important thing for a soldier? It is obedience! Why are you obeying?"
Silence returned to the top of the city. Everyone in the science and engineering department lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. Song Jun, who was guarding the city, began to worry after hearing Xu Zizhen's analysis. Zhao Gou also seemed to be shocked, but he quickly calmed down and spoke to save the siege:
"Come on, Zizhen. It's no wonder that the young man is so bloody. Just come as soon as the Jin people come. I'll have all the soldiers and civilians in the city waiting for you."
Xu Zizhen opened his mouth and was about to say something. Gao Pujun gave him an anxious wink from the side. Xu Zizhen instantly woke up and quickly regained his composure and said: "Master Qi is right, I am impatient." After saying this, he stopped scolding those students.
, looked outside the city, and the anger just now disappeared.
Seeing that Yan Zhao was a little embarrassed, he said without saying anything: "Xiao Xu, you said the golden man pounced on him? Isn't he still standing there and not moving?"
Before Xu Zizhen could speak, Zhao Gou smiled and said: "That's because Wu Shu is waiting for news about his two groups of surprise troops. If he can break the city from both sides, he will move. Now one is waiting, and the other is...
It's just to draw our attention, but we don't know that at this time, his two paths are already in danger."
Wu Shoubei also smiled and said: "That's natural. Prince Kaiping is both wise and brave, and Lord Zhang is also well-known. How can we capture some golden soldiers easily?"
Xu Zizhen grinned and smiled, but said nothing, but he was making calculations in his mind. The New Year was about to come, and the Jingkang disaster was about to happen, but he was really not sure which day it would be.
He was meditating, and Wu Shu was also meditating. He had witnessed the tragedy below the city with his own eyes. Xu Zizhen's new firearms simply made him unbelievable. It was not that they were so powerful that they scared him, but these firearms were clearly aimed at him.
The siege equipment was tailor-made for his siege habits, and it was simply perfect.
The Jin soldiers were already in a commotion. They were not afraid, but angry. They had been accustomed to victory for a long time, and even used to overwhelming the city to defeat the city. But today they were beaten so ugly here. If it weren't for the strict military discipline,
This 100,000-strong army even wanted to rush forward and tear down the walls of Yingtian Mansion immediately.
Hu Lieer also gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger, but he was a vanguard officer and was calmer than ordinary soldiers. He looked at the top of the city and asked Wu Shu in a low voice: "Your Highness, please step back temporarily to avoid his sharp edge. ?”
Wu Shu shook his head: "The Song people have not left the city to fight, so why should we avoid them? Send the order and wait first."
"General, obey the order!" Kulie'er responded and handed down the order. He understood the meaning of Wushu. As long as the two surprise attack troops succeeded, it would be time for them to take revenge. When the time comes, they would be attacked from both inside and outside, and a mere Yingtian Mansion would still be able to fight back. Don't you just take it?
Wu Shu was not in a hurry, and Xu Zizhen was even less anxious. He knew that Wu Shu would not be so reckless. Anyway, he would just be patient now. At this moment, a man suddenly rushed up from the city, wearing tattered clothes, and looked at Like a beggar, another person followed him and rushed to the city at the same time. Xu Zizhen was startled because he knew the person behind him. He was from his Tianji camp. He was ranked eighth in the camp and was responsible for staying in Bianjing. One of them is asking for information, but who is the first one?
Xu Ba did not step forward immediately, but stood aside first. The beggar-like man rushed straight in front of Zhao Gou, knelt down on one knee, and said urgently: "Your Highness, something bad has happened. Bianjing is in chaos!"
Zhao Gou's expression tightened and he shouted: "What's the matter with the panic? Report it."
"Yes!" The man took out a piece of paper from his arms and began to read aloud. Xu Zizhen couldn't help laughing after just two sentences, because what he reported was exactly the amount of money and silver requested by the Jin man, and Xu Shiqi reported these things an unknown amount of time before he did.
The more Zhao Gou heard this, the uglier his face became. The amount of money was simply astronomical. Even when the Song Dynasty was at its most prosperous, it was impossible to get so much money at once, let alone now.
After the man finished reporting, he retreated and came and went suddenly, as if he had never appeared before. Xu Zizhen was not surprised. Zhao Gou was not a fool, and it was not strange at all that he had his own intelligence network.
Everyone present who heard this had angry faces on their faces. Only everyone in the Xu family remained calm. Zhao Gou turned his head and saw it, and said in shock: "Zizhen...have you already figured it out?"
"Exactly, and I think it should be more than that." Xu Zizhen did not deny it, nodded in agreement, and waved to Xu Ba.
Xu Ba then stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Zhao Gou, and then said: "Thousands of years old, head of the family, the turmoil in Bianjing has arisen again."
Zhao Gou finally calmed down and his heart suddenly became anxious again: "What's the matter?"
Xu Zizhen was still very calm, waved his hand and said: "Go ahead."
Xu Ba's face was neither sad nor happy, and he said: "The funds to reward the army were not collected on time. The officials were dissatisfied with the people of Pingjin, so they beheaded the official Mei Qing."
Yan Zhao couldn't help but clapped his hands: "Well done!" As soon as he said the words, he suddenly realized his recklessness and quickly shut his mouth and stopped saying anything.
Zhao Gou frowned: "If you kill such a villain, what kind of trouble is that?"
Xu Bayi clasped his fists: "Back to Qiansui, the reason for this incident is that because the money and silver were not collected, the Jin people changed their words and asked the officials for young women to reward the army. Each one is worth one hundred silver."
"Bastard!" Before he could finish his words, Zhao Gou was furious and slapped the arrow stack on the city head fiercely.
Xu Zizhen interjected: "How much did the officials give them?"
Xu Badao said: "The master has sent over eight hundred yuan home."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gou became even more angry. This behavior of more than 800 young women was simply outrageous. But the most irritating thing was not this, but the fact that the current emperor Zhao Huan actually sent it to them. Isn't this equal to Sending one's own children to the enemy for sexual pleasure? What is that but a beast?
But what Xu Zizhen said next made him stunned.
"How much is eight hundred? Well, it's still very early."
