Zhutian: Starting from the Space-Time Merchant

Chapter 208. A major leader was killed by cannon fire; the bandits wrapped him in red cloth and carried him away wailingly.
"This water tastes sweet."

Inside the RV, Li Shishi opened a bottle of Gatorade and handed it over, saying, "Try it."

Zhao Duofu was visibly nervous, and carefully took the item while sitting on the stool.

Her gaze unconsciously drifted past the gap in the curtains to look outside.

Immortal Lin accepted her, but only her.

Palace maids, eunuchs, female officials, and imperial guards were all driven away.

"Try it~"

With a beaming smile, Li Shishi kept encouraging everyone, "Try it~ It's really delicious."

Unable to refuse, Zhao Duofu held the small cup in both hands and took a sip.

The next moment, a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face. "This taste~~~"

Does it taste like fruit?

Li Shishi, who had been spending most of her time alone these days, was very happy to welcome Zhao Duofu's arrival.

She pointed to the packaging and said, "This is called a peach!"

“I know about peaches,” Zhao Duofu said curiously, “but I’ve never heard of nectarines.”

"There's more here." Li Shishi opened the cabinet, revealing a cabinet full of various drinks. "We have all kinds of flavors~"

"Good sister~"

Bring some snacks and turn on the LCD screen.

Li Shishi enthusiastically shared her favorite snacks: "Let's eat and drink together, and watch the celestial dramas."

"Let me tell you, the fairies in the celestial realm are so beautiful!"

"They have nothing to do all day, just indulging in romance and empty talk—'You love me, I love you,' it never ends!"

Outside the RV.

Lin Dao and a group of outstanding students from the Imperial Academy were having a barbecue.

Not all of the hundred or so students from the Imperial Academy supported instigating a civil unrest.

The opponents were the first to leave.

Those who were originally from Bianliang City soon scattered as well.

Of the remaining ones, some encountered accidents, while others lacked the ability to rise to prominence.

At this moment, only about thirty people were truly qualified to eat this barbecue.

The meat sizzles as it flips over the charcoal fire, dripping fat.

Lin Dao looked up at the sky.

If a helicopter were to deliver roasted lamb at this moment, that would be truly fascinating.

He shook his head and looked away.

"The people's anger has been fully mobilized."

"Next, we should guide the direction of the anger."

"Otherwise, it will turn into a complete mob."

The students all agreed, saying that the immortal was right.

Lin Dao picked up a knife, cut the roasted meat, and distributed it to the students.

"We need to make the people understand that everything we do is for a better life, not for a worse one."

"Now we need to unite everyone's thoughts and make everyone feel like they are in charge."

"The tyrannical Song Dynasty was ruthless, causing the country to fall into ruin and the people to suffer."

"We should follow the will of Heaven and eliminate the tyrannical Song dynasty."

He stabbed a piece of roasted meat with a knife, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit into it, his mouth overflowing with oil.

Lin Dao then said, "Tomorrow is a good day, suitable for travel."

"After you return, encourage the people's enthusiasm and guide them to Kaifeng Prefecture."

A student from the Imperial Academy asked, "May I ask, Immortal Master, what business do you have going to Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"Kaifeng Prefecture is a symbol of the tyrannical Song Dynasty's oppression and exploitation of the people."

"That place is a symbol of the tyrannical rule of the Song Dynasty!"

"Take Kaifeng and completely shatter the rule of the tyrannical Song Dynasty."

Among the students of the Imperial Academy, some were genuinely inspired and wanted to build a world of universal harmony.

Upon hearing this, they were filled with excitement and cheered loudly.

It even startled the girl inside the RV who was engrossed in the story.

The remaining students were basically all opportunists.

They all knew that the things the immortal had arranged were not unprecedented.

Those who have read a lot of books will understand that this is nothing more than the Song Dynasty version of a national uprising.

The Zhou people did these things two thousand years ago; they were things our ancestors had already done.

After the cheers subsided, Chen Dong quickly lowered his voice and said, "Immortal Master, Kaifeng Prefecture has long been deserted; there are hardly any people left."

"Do I have to teach you this kind of thing?" Lin Dao continued fiddling with the grilled meat.

"If I have to arrange everything, what use are you all?"

Chen Dong suddenly realized.

He immediately bowed and shouted, "Thank you, Immortal Master, for your guidance!"

After finishing their barbecue, the students changed the batteries in their walkie-talkies and said their goodbyes.

They returned to their respective street districts and sought out prominent figures among the people to explain the situation.

It was nothing more than continuing his speech, inciting the people of Bianliang to attack Kaifeng Prefecture, which symbolized oppression and brutality, the next day.

These outstanding individuals have all honed their eloquence through continuous practice.

In their words, Kaifeng Prefecture was nothing short of a living hell.

Having tasted the benefits and not suffered any retaliation, the people's morale was quickly boosted.

They all readily agreed, saying they would go home for a good meal and rest, and then gather together the next day to go to Kaifeng Prefecture.

Chen Dong summoned several of the extravagant figures he had made acquaintances with in recent days.

"You all need to be busy tonight."

"Some arrangements need to be made in Kaifeng Prefecture."

The group immediately inquired about the arrangement.

"There always need to be a few important figures around, so that they can be used as a raft."

"Someone has to put up some resistance."

"We need to see blood!"

Lin Dao rode his electric scooter and arrived at Nanxun Gate, familiar with the area.

It's time for our daily gold-farming routine again.

The Jin people looking out from the city wall saw the familiar electric cart speeding along the Imperial Street and immediately turned around and fled down the city wall, shouting loudly.

He mounted the horse he had prepared beforehand, and fled out of the city gate without looking back.

It's not that we haven't fought, it's not that we haven't tried.

We tried everything before, but we just couldn't beat them.

There was no other way but to run away first.

If I can't beat you, surely I can outrun you?
Lin Dao rode his electric scooter leisurely up the city wall along the walkway. He looked around at the city wall.

As far as the eye could see, the city walls were empty, without a single ghost in sight.

Looking out towards the city.

Within a radius of several hundred meters outside the city, there was no sign of anyone; it was deserted and desolate, like a ghost town.

The closest figures were all over a kilometer away.

The Jurchens weren't stupid.

Having withstood so many grenades and machine gun fire, they had long since used numerous lives to determine the range of the firepower.

The withdrawal was quite thorough and clean.

After parking the car, Lin Dao took out his large travel bag and said, "You have your clever plans, but I have my countermeasures."

"It's a technological upgrade, to let you experience the power of technology."

Carrying my travel bag, I arrived at the burned-down Nanxunmen gate tower.

He unzipped the mortar and skillfully took out an M6 60mm mortar from Austria.

It has few parts, is quick to assemble, and is easy to carry.

Its maximum range exceeds four kilometers.

He skillfully assembled the mortar and placed it securely on the city wall.

Take out the rangefinder and set it up.

He then took out his binoculars and looked out of the city in search of his target.

More than a thousand meters away, a group of golden men gathered on horseback, which made them the perfect target.

Once the target is set, use a rangefinder to measure the distance and direction.

Using the ballistic calculator provided by the arms dealer, the results were calculated and the mortar parameters were adjusted.

Hold the fragmentation grenade in both hands, place it at the muzzle of the cannon, and release it.

The shell fell and struck the firing pin at the bottom.

'Boom! '

There was a muffled sound.

Mortar shells ripped through the sky, whistling as they fell toward the distant golden figures.

The Jin Dynasty, which had not yet moved beyond the tribal system, differed from the Liao and Song Dynasties in its institutional structure.

In terms of the succession system, the succession is based on the principle of succession by younger brother upon the death of an elder brother.

After Aguda's death, his younger brother Wanyan Wugumai succeeded him as Emperor Taizong of Jin.

Wanyan Wugumai's successor, whom the Jin people called Anban Bojilie, was his younger brother, Wanyan Xieye.

The true and nominal commander-in-chief of this southward campaign to conquer the Song Dynasty was none other than the Crown Prince, Wanyan Xieye.

At this moment, the crown prince of the Great Jin Kingdom was riding his horse behind the safety line, gazing at the strange man on the city wall.

"Can it be bought?"

Xie also asked the people around him, "Can it be used by the Great Jin?"

"I've already asked."

Tatara responded, "No."

Xie hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have we ever discussed honoring him as the King of Song and dividing the country along the Yellow River?"

Ta Lan shook his head with a wry smile, "I mentioned it, but he completely ignored me."

He frowned slightly.

"Are there really such strange people in the world?"

“He doesn’t want titles, land, wealth, or women. What does he really want?”

"You're determined to oppose the Jin Dynasty, but did you have a grudge against us before?"

The generals beside him all shook their heads.

Nianhan stated frankly, "We have already asked around, and we have never encountered this person before coming to Bianliang City."

"Could it be?" Xie Ye asked again, "Where did you slaughter his family and clan before?"

When asked this question, Wanyan Wushu complained, "We've slaughtered so many cities along the way, who would have known it was someone from his own clan?"

Wanyan Xie also turned to his generals and said, "This can't go on like this, let's..."

Before they could say anything, a strange hissing sound came from the sky.

Looking up in confusion, before anyone could react, a mortar shell rained down from the sky, striking directly in front of Wanyan Xieye's horse.

'boom! ’

Flames erupted, shrapnel flew, and the sound was deafening.

The billowing smoke enveloped Wanyan Xieye, along with his horse.

The sudden change caused tremendous turmoil.

The surrounding area was filled with shouts and the neighing of horses, a scene of utter chaos.

'Hiss~'

Strange noises echoed from the sky once again.

"boom!"

This time it was a bit off-target, landing in the Hezhameng'an group.

The Jin Kingdom's most elite soldiers fell in an instant.

Wanyan Wushu pulled hard on the reins, trying to control the wildly jumping warhorse.

He screamed at the top of his lungs, "Run! Run!"

This thing is all too familiar; I've been hit by it many times before.

Moreover, its power this time is clearly greater than before.

The crowd scattered on horseback, except for Wanyan Xieye's Heza Meng'an, who charged towards their master like a madman.

After firing more than ten mortar shells, Lin Dao stopped and readjusted the mortar's position.

He got up, held up his binoculars, and peered through the binoculars to observe.

A group of Jin soldiers bound an armored general to the back of a horse and dragged the horse away at breakneck speed.

Lin Dao watched this scene and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"If this were a Ming Dynasty official during the Chongzhen era, I would definitely write this sentence in my memorials."

"The chief thief was killed by cannon fire, and the bandits wrapped him in red cloth and carried him away wailing."

Turn around, adjust the distance, and fire the cannon to chase and bomb.

It is highly accurate when hitting stationary targets.

It can bomb those people and horses that are running around everywhere, and the accuracy drops drastically in an instant.

Lin Dao simply shifted his target and bombarded the buildings in the distance where the golden figures were said to be present.

More than 100 shells were fired within a range of four kilometers.

"This time, at least several hundred were taken down."

Lin Dao was satisfied with this and, after the cannon barrel cooled down, disassembled it and put it back into his travel bag.

I hopped on an electric scooter with my backpack, descended the city wall, and returned the way I came.

Finished and that's it~~~
