Before Sun Jin could recover from his surprise, he saw the armed militiamen raise their muskets.

The people of the Longhua Society did not pay attention to these muskets, most of them were ignorant ruffians from the countryside, who felt that they had talismans on their bodies and carried all kinds of filth to crack the demon law, and they didn't care about these muskets pointed at them.

But when the muskets rang out, they realized something was wrong.

It was just more than fifty armed militiamen, and these half-employed armed forces could not be regarded as real professional soldiers, but their first round of shooting caused a large number of casualties among the people of Longhuahui, and twenty or thirty people fell, and the howls resonated with the cries.

This was followed by the second and third rounds of shooting.

In recent years, Xinxiang's weapons design institute has not been idle, how to increase the rate of fire of muskets as much as possible, has always been their research goal, now the muskets used by the militia, can be said to have reached the extreme rate of fire of rifles, in just one minute, they have completed three rounds of shooting, and at this time the disciples of Longhua will be two hundred meters away from them!

"Free Fire!"

After a brief moment of stunt caused by death and killing, the people of the Longhua Society finally understood that all the preparations they had made could not prevent the muskets of the armed militia from taking their lives. Suddenly, all the courage that had come from the looting and atrocities was gone, replaced by fear and collapse. Looking at the Longhua congregation that turned around and scurried like headless flies, the commander of the armed militia gave the order.

This can't be considered a war at all, not even a brawl.

Sun Jin was also stunned when he saw this scene. He knew that the congregation of the Longhua Society was unreliable. I didn't expect them to be unreliable to this point.

Collapse at the touch of a button? No, not even the bare minimum of contact! Sun Jin knew some art of war, and he understood that the most likely collapse during the battle was when the white blades intersected in the assault. He originally thought that these congregations of the Longhua Society would be able to rush forward and cause a little damage to the armed militia, perhaps because of the large number of people. They can even engage in a stalemate with armed militias.

And so it turned out!

Now Sun Jin understands why Yu Guozhen knew that Longhua would cause an incident, but he didn't mobilize a regular army to defend Shanghai at all. Originally, it was in Sun Jin's plan. The Longhua Society began to besiege Shanghai, cutting off Shanghai's trade routes to Jinling and the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and at the same time blocking the canal. In this way, Yu Guozhen had to mobilize regular Chinese troops from Shandong and Liangguang to come, and by this time, the garrisons of Shandong and Liangguang would be empty, and if someone instigated it, many squires would form a village to protect themselves.

At this time, he lobbied Yu Guozhen again, pointing out that these squires had made trouble one after another, because Yu Guozhen did not open a science and take scholars, and did not reuse Confucianism and Qingliu, and under all kinds of pressure, Yu Guozhen was used to compromise. Maybe you will change your mind.

But I never thought that Yu Guozhen, who has always liked "harmony", still seems to use the method of "harmony" this time, but it turned out to have such an effect!

These people, even "and" and "all" are "and" but Yu Guozhen. Not to mention polemics?

After Sun Jin was in a trance, he calmed down again and found that there were already two armed militiamen standing in front of him.

Looking at Sun Jin with puzzled eyes, one of the two armed militiamen asked, "Who are you, looking at your appearance, aren't you those god sticks of the Longhua Society?" ”

"I am a disciple of Confucianism. Confucianism and clear streams, where can it be the kind of god who pretends to be a ghost? Sun Jin smiled bitterly and said: "I have an old relationship with Yu Jimin, and my younger brother is Sun Lin Sun Kexian, who also serves in the Huaxia Military Strategy Committee. ”

"Oh, it's rude, sir."

Those armed militiamen saw that Sun Jin still had traces of being stepped on by the people of the Longhua Society, and they also saw the fact that the people of the Longhua Society pushed him down. Therefore, there was no doubt about it, and he saluted Sun Jin.

Sun Jin coughed, knowing that he could only bluff the other party for a while, he couldn't stay here for a long time, and he had to withdraw immediately. He turned back to a small boat on the dock, only to find that all the oarsmen on board had also come ashore, and were now either dead or taken prisoner by the militia.

The so-called gentleman doesn't move his hands, Sun Jin doesn't know how to row and support the boat, but he hasn't done it himself for many years, he picked up the oars and stroked a few times, the boat was spinning in place, and then picked up the penny, but at this time, the leader of the Longhua Society was kneeling and begging for mercy, and when he saw him like this, he immediately shouted and shouted.

"This guy is here to show us the way, he is our mastermind behind the scenes, we were all forced by him, I want to make meritorious service, I will report him!"

This shout made the two militiamen who were still smiling at Sun Jin suddenly change color.

"You're a good old boy, you dare to scold people!"

A militiaman jumped on the boat and reached out and grabbed Sun Jin's bun, Sun Jin screamed twice, but he couldn't help him, and he was dragged ashore alive. Before going ashore, the lower half of his body was still soaked in the water, and he was suddenly wet.

Although it is early spring, the river is still cold, and Sun Jin is angry, anxious and afraid, and he can't help but shiver. The two militiamen didn't care about him, and the other came up with two big mouths, and they thought that they were almost deceived by this guy, so they didn't fight in anger.

Sun Jin, who was beaten hard, understood that he was afraid that he would be in trouble this time. He shouted: "I really have an old relationship with Yu Jimin, my brother Sun Kexian and Yu Jimin are brothers-in-law, I am also from Tongcheng, and the Tongcheng Fang family has been good with my family for generations......

In his eagerness, he said everything he could think of about his relationship with Yu Guozhen. The militiaman sneered: "I have already been deceived by you once, how can I be deceived by you again now?" Even if you are Sun Lin's brother, go and explain it to our officials! ”

"Sun Lin's brother actually colluded with this group of bandits and ruffians of the Longhua Society, it is unbelievable to say it, this guy is shouting the same as the truth, isn't this taking us for fools?"

Sun Jin was dragged to the side with his hair bun and tied to the congregations of the Longhua Society. The congregations of the Longhua Society are all some ignorant people in the countryside who have been instigated, and although they are still muttering to their Heavenly Master Sect Master in their hearts at this time, they are afraid of the punishment of the gods and Buddhas in the world, and they dare not speak ill of them, but they are not afraid of Sun Jin. felt that he had fallen to such a point, and this Sun Jin also had some credit. Therefore, they kicked Sun Jin one by one, and cursed endlessly, as if it was not enough to show that they had repented.

Later, the armed militia had to drag Sun Jin aside again, lest he be killed by these Longhua congregations.

Even so. Sun Jin was already covered in injuries, with blood, snot and water stains mixed all over his body, looking embarrassed. It's unbearable. At first, he thought about arguing, but later he also understood that these armed militias would not listen to him. He could only endure it.

But it was not until evening that the leader of the armed militia came to see him.

"Are you really Mr. Sun Kexian's brother?" The leader was startled when he saw his appearance, at this time Sun Jin was cold and hungry, and he was beaten, and he no longer had the chic of the literati on weekdays, and he looked ten years old.

"We have been sluggish since childhood, Kexian was brought up by me, and the family affairs of his family were also finalized between me and Governor Fang." Sun Jin didn't dare to say more at this time. When asked, he answered, and the look on his face was also disheartened.

"That's strange, since you have such a relationship with Mr. Sun Kexian, and you are also in-law with Governor Fang, that is, a relative of our commander. You're not going to help us commander. But to help those crazy people of the Longhua Society...... Tsk, it's really hard to figure out. ”

Sun Jin was silent.

He had no intention of explaining his thoughts to the other party, because he knew that the other party was just a low-ranking leader of the armed militia. Such a person was born with mud legs in the past, just because he followed Yu Guozhen. Now their livelihood is not worried, and Yu Guozhen has given them the corresponding status.

What Confucianism and what righteous way to talk about with them, that is to talk about the piano to the cow.

Such villains, as long as they use them, cannot be trusted.

All kinds of strange thoughts swirled in Sun Jin's mind, he didn't make a sound, and the other party sighed twice and said: "Since you said that there is such a relationship, I can't deal with you, just right, as mentioned above, the captured heads of all parties have to be escorted to Shanghai." This Mr. Sun, our commander is now in Shanghai, you can go and talk to him. ”

When Sun Jin heard that Yu Guozhen himself had arrived in Shanghai, his eyes lit up: "He has transferred troops?" ”

"What kind of troops do you want to transfer to deal with you chickens and dogs?" The militia leader laughed: "Don't think too highly of yourself, my dozens of armed militia can defeat more than 2,000 of you, and the rest will not want to escape, they will inevitably become prisoners, where is the use of regular troops?" ”

Sun Jin only sighed softly.

On the tenth day of the second month of the twenty-sixth year of Chongzhen, Sun Jin, who was hit hard, was sent to Shanghai County. In the past few years, he has lived in seclusion in the countryside, but he has only heard about the changes in Shanghai, but has not seen it with his own eyes. But he had been to Shanghai before, so when the ship escorting him arrived at the Baoshan dock in Shanghai, he felt that he couldn't close his eyes.

I have long heard that Xinxiang was transformed from a wasteland into a big city by Yu Guozhen in just a few years, and Sun Jin always felt that this statement was a bit exaggerated because he had never been there in person. But now that he saw Shanghai, he began to believe that Yu Guozhen really had this ability to turn decay into magic.

This made him a little at a loss, the right path he pursued all his life had a fundamental conflict, and even irreconcilable contradictions, with the path Yu Guozhen was taking. But the Confucian gentlemen who pretended to be Confucian and clear streams did not bring the Ming Dynasty to the height of prosperity and prosperity, nor did they bring much benefit to the people of the world and even the people of a prefecture and a county.

And Yu Guozhen did it...... Could it be that their righteous path is wrong, but Yu Guozhen's crooked and evil way is right?

As soon as this thought floated up, Sun Jin was shocked, how could he only come to Shanghai, only to see the city, and he doubted the belief he had insisted on for decades!

Everything in front of him is Yu Guozhen's trick to buy people's hearts, not credible, not credible!

He told himself repeatedly in his heart, and then he was escorted ashore.

There was far more than one person who was escorted ashore with him, the inferior gentry and heroes in the Longhua Society and the Jiangnan area, as well as those clan elders who were accustomed to dictating to local affairs, and hundreds of people were arrested. All of them were escorted to Shanghai, and as they were driven through the long street by soldiers, the people around them stopped to watch.

Sun Jin suddenly felt that this might be an opportunity, an opportunity to show Yu Guozhen that the three armies could take their commanders but not their land! (To be continued)
