Therefore, Zhu Gui finally sat at the table where the heads of the three major families were sitting, and he did not act as the acting king.
Not only were the guests around him not jealous, but they felt that he was well-deserved, and Zhu Gui's personal guards also stood behind him.
With their performance just now, no one dares to underestimate them anymore.
"The 'fun show' has ended, and now the banquet has officially begun." Gongsun Yun waved his hand, and silk and bamboo music began to play in the yard, and the dancers began to throw yarn and embroider their legs.
Next, the patriarchs of the three major families gave speeches in turn, saying that taking this opportunity, the major families in Datong Mansion should not let Taiyuan continue to be suppressed, but should form an alliance.
With Zhu Gui's previous behavior of suppressing the situation, now even if some people have other thoughts about this, they dare not express it.
On the contrary, those forces that were still wavering finally made up their minds and began to respond one after another.
Therefore, the rhythm of this banquet reached a climax from the very beginning.
Gongsun Ming, Zhao Tian and Wang Hua were even more overjoyed. It can be said that they have made a great contribution this time.
In this way, the banquet continued until late at night, and none of the guests had any intention of leaving.
On the contrary, many people have repeatedly expressed their desire to communicate with Zhu Gui, and the number of people is increasing.
In the end, Zhu Gui had to 'reveal' some of the content of his cooperation with the young masters of the three major families, that is, the three of them could join the army.
This news was like a bombshell, once again igniting the enthusiasm of everyone in the courtyard. They all expressed their desire to have their children join the army.
Most of these people come from merchant families, so their family background limits the careers their children can choose. It can be said that they truly have "nothing but money".
But now someone can break this embarrassing situation, allowing their family power to break through the shackles and achieve new development. No one is willing to give up this opportunity.
At the same time, this was Zhu Gui's original plan, so he made a promise after a symbolic rejection.
That is, for all those who have the ability to cooperate with the three major families, Zhu Gui will consider allocating quotas to them according to their 'contribution'.
This quota allows their children to enter the Ming army's military system, and they are not the lowest-level soldiers.
This condition seems very tempting, but there are also details that Zhu Gui did not explain.
However, these people did not hear it, and still expressed their willingness to cooperate.
The next thing becomes very simple. The three major families took advantage of the situation and established an alliance, and then any family willing to cooperate can join it.
Although nominally they seem to have a cooperative relationship with the three major families, in reality they will become vassal forces of the three major families.
Finally, when the sky was getting light, everyone dispersed, but they were still discussing the matter when they left.
Zhu Gui was also very satisfied with the results of this banquet.
He had already said goodbye to Gongsun Yun and others, and wanted to go back to Zuixian Tower to take a rest.
However, Gongsun Ming and the others followed.
"Brother Zhu, we have something to ask, that is, when can we join the army and take up our posts?" Wang Hua asked impatiently.
Gongsun Ming and Zhao Tian on the side also had the same expression.
"This is simple. When I return to Datong Mansion, you can go back with me. I will arrange this at that time." Zhu Gui was a little dizzy because of his hangover. He wanted to
Take a break quickly.
But this Wang Hua didn't have any vision at all, or maybe he was too impatient about this matter.
After hearing Zhu Gui's answer, Wang Hua continued to ask: "Brother Zhu, when will you return to Datong Mansion? Do you have anything else to deal with now? Why don't you speak up and we can share your worries."
"Wang Hua is right, our three families still have some strength in Taiyuan." Zhao Tian also said on the side.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have a headache now. I will talk to you in detail after I take a rest. You should go and train your men first. Oh, by the way, after the descendants of those families come to join the army, there may be some
Put some into your team and you can think of your own solution."
After Zhu Gui finished speaking, he ran away, leaving only the three of them messy in the wind.
"No way? Those dandy boys are going to join our team? Then how can we fight?" Wang Hua complained endlessly and was the first to complain.
"There is nothing we can do about it. After all, the regular army cannot accommodate them. They can only train with us first. But as their commanders, we have to 'take care of' them properly." Zhao Tianshu said.
"That's right, we must not let these little brats go, otherwise they will definitely hold us back when we get to the battlefield." Wang Hua nodded and said.
As long as there is no conflict between the two, they actually have many things in common.
Gongsun Ming on the side never spoke. He was thinking about the reason why Zhu Gui did this.
Now he is very sure that the other party is the acting king of Yunzhou, but now the other party has started to 'kidnap' the wealthy nobles of Taiyuan in this way. Is it really to show kindness and solve the chaos in Taiyuan Mansion?
I'm afraid not necessarily? Then what is the other party's real purpose?
He didn't think the other party could appreciate the combat effectiveness of a ragtag army.
…
Zhu Gui finally returned to Zuixian Tower and fell asleep directly on the bed.
This was the first time that he stayed up so late and didn't wake up until the night.
But my head is still a little groggy.
"We should try our best to avoid such things in the future, but we can't damage our body." Zhu Gui warned herself.
After washing up, Zhu Gui called Sheriff Zhang, who didn't drink much so that he could serve Zhu Gui in time.
"My lord, are you awake? By the way, the young masters of the three major families are having a drink on the second floor, staring at you for waking up." County Sheriff Zhang said with a wry smile.
This gave Zhu Gui an even bigger headache, as he didn't know how to get rid of these three dog-skin plasters.
But since he didn't bring Xu Miaoqing this time, he didn't plan to go out for fun, so he just got down to business.
Zhu Gui wrote a few text messages and sent them to his personal guards. He also read the information sent by Hu Shidao's intelligence officers and learned about some changes in Taiyuan City during the day.
The reporter learned that because of Zhu Gui's actions at the banquet, many gangs had left Taiyuan City overnight, but they didn't know whether it was to temporarily avoid the limelight or to move completely.
At the same time, two-thirds of the forces in Taiyuan Prefecture have chosen to cooperate with the three major families, and the remaining ones are still hesitant or have other plans.
