The sound of the artillery lasted for about a quarter of an hour. The moonlit sea was filled with smoke, and the strong smell of gunpowder filled the nostrils.When everything dissipated, there were only the planks of the Japanese pirates scattered and the fish that slipped through the net struggling in the water.

Only a handful of the Japanese pirates were wiped out this time, and even that was enough.Let those people know that the great general of the Heng Dynasty is back, and scare them once and for all.

Shen Jie lowered his eyes sideways, and his eyes fell on the Nanfan people who were spitting crazily because of fear, and he half ordered and half warned: "The Japanese pirates were completely wiped out by Heng Chao's artillery tonight, understand?"

The Nanfan nodded hastily, "The villain will definitely remember."

While returning to the shore, Chen Juncong changed out of his soaked clothes in the cabin, and was holding his half-dry hair with a wooden hairpin when he heard constant noise outside.He gave his hand a pause, and he didn't wear the big hat at all, and got off the boat directly along the plank.

"Successful?" Chen Juncong asked.

The defenders on the shore stood in several rows, and bundles of torches swayed in the sea breeze, reflecting the gloomy expression of Yan Jiuzhi, who was kneeling on the ground.

Shen Jie repeated the content of the defender's report in a deep voice, "We guessed right. The swallow thief heard the news from the sea and wanted to pack up and leave. Fortunately, we were prepared, and the defenders blocked us."

Speaking of this, he said with some guilt: "However, Yan Jiuzhi refused to obey, and the firecrackers fought, and the defenders suffered hundreds of casualties."

Hearing the number of casualties, Gu Qing went to take care of appeasing the relatives of the defenders.

His eyes swept over the people kneeling on the ground, the servants of the Yan family, the blacksmith, the master, etc. all bowed their heads.Chen Juncong stood in the night, with bloodstains from the blade on his neck, and said calmly: "You are in the Dengzhou Armament Workshop, eating the taxed rice and grain from the Heng Dynasty, but you are a thief who leaked arms and betrayed the country."

With his hands tied behind his back, Yan Jiuzhi let out a "ha" sneer.

"I'm not an official like you. What's wrong with being a businessman for profit?! Besides, I only sold firecrackers to Japanese pirates. If I really betrayed my country, the Great General Cannon would have...well..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Ping couldn't listen anymore, kicked him to the ground impatiently, and gritted his teeth in hatred.

"You fucking have the face to say it. It wasn't you selling firecrackers, why did our defenders suffer so many casualties."

Feeling angry, Wang Ping became angrier as he spoke, thinking of Gu Qing's arm, Shen Jie's brow bone, and especially Chen Juncong's suffering from hearing loss, he casually drew the long sword of the guard beside him and roared.

"I crippled your arm, and poked your ears deaf again!"

As he said, he cut it down with all his strength.

"Don't be willful!"

Chen Juncong hurriedly stopped him with the blunderbuss he carried with him, but unfortunately his strength was not as strong as Wang Ping's, and he still told him to cut off a piece of flesh from Yan Jiuzhi's arm.

Everything happened so fast, Yan Jiuzhi didn't feel any pain at first, and only realized howling ghostly when his bloody piece of flesh fell to the ground in a daze.

When he first came, Wang Ping still had the temperament to contradict everyone, but out of guilt and admiration for Chen Juncong, this civil servant can still face the Japanese pirates without changing his face, so he really stopped and stared at Yan Jiuzhi, for fear that the other party would return. will run away.

Shen Jie was lucky to have someone who could restrain Wang Ping, so he took advantage of this gap to ask, "Where is the general's blueprint?"

Selling firearms to Japanese pirates is enough to make Yan Jiuzhi unable to eat and walk around. The firecrackers don't matter, but the general's blueprint must be obtained.Besides, if the Yan family is guilty, they must be escorted back to Beijing, waiting for the Dali Temple to seal the verdict, so Chen Juncong stopped Wang Ping.

Yan Jiuzhi fell to the ground in pain and groaned softly, his face was pale but he forced a smug smile, "Anyway, you won't let me go, I will tell you what I will do..."

It is most difficult for this kind of person to pry his mouth open when he is about to die.Shen Jie didn't have any hope of prying Yan Jiuzhi's mouth open.

"It's up to you whether you say it or not, anyway, my people will search every place in the Armory Workshop."

"As long as I don't tell you, it won't help if you turn your head upside down."

Yan Jiuzhi sneered.

At this moment, the flames shot into the sky in the distance, illuminating the night, and billowing thick smoke scattered in all directions.Chen Juncong's expression changed, "The drawing!"

Shen Jie and Wang Ping also had pale faces.

The place where the fire broke out is exactly where the Armory Workshop is located!

Yan Jiuzhi's expression changed from astonishment to joy, and he laughed like crazy and said, "Burn it, burn it to your heart's content! It's good to turn everything into ashes!"

His hair was disheveled, his body was stained with blood, his face was pale and ferocious, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

When the few people arrived, the huge military workshop was in full swing. Under the raging fire, even if they organized the defenders to pour water to put out the fire, it would be of no avail. They could only watch the wooden beams collapse and turn into ashes.The Great General's artillery, which had finally reappeared in the world, was just like a flash of fire.

Although the Japanese pirates were frightened, the Nanfan people would indeed come to trouble, and it didn't take long for everyone to tell what happened on the sea.Knowing that Hengchao's arms are enough to scare off those thieves, the number of cargo ships at Dengzhou port is increasing day by day, and the tax revenue is increasing day by day, but the mood of the Zhizhou mansion is not clear.

Chen Juncong listened to Shen Jie's analysis, and slowly wrote the letter to be presented in his hand.Every time a word was dropped, his face became gloomy.

"To cast a large number of firecrackers, you need copper ore. The Dengzhou copper mine is under my jurisdiction, and I haven't received too much mining. If the Yanjiu branch is transported from other state capitals, the quantity is too large, and it will be banned. Notice something different. Unless..."

Speaking of this, Shen Jie's complexion was not much better.Avoiding nearby state capitals and the like, Dahang is the one that produces the most copper.Selling arms privately to Japanese pirates is already disloyal, but Yan Jiuzhi still colludes with Daxing, which is really betraying the country and seeking glory.

After the Zhazi was written and dried, the cover was covered with a private seal, and sent to the capital quickly, Chen Juncong said in a deep voice: "Provide Yan Jiuzhi with copper mines, produce firecrackers and raise Japanese pirates, and profit from it. Daxing is serious It's a good plan, and the only one who has such a plan is probably that one."

So much for this, even if they don't say it out loud, each of them knows who it is.
