Following the soldier's shout, there were already ten soldiers guarding the city gate, and dozens more people were suddenly added. Moreover, there were still sounds of footsteps in the distance. It seemed that there were more soldiers.
People are concentrating here.
It is conceivable how much "prestige" Zhu Gui's "reputation" has in Lan Yu's army.
And Zhu Gui also knew that Lan Yu himself would come here soon, and that's exactly what he wanted to do.
But before that, he, the master of Datong Mansion, had to return to his original position.
So he walked towards the city gate step by step.
Although the Lan Yu subordinates around him had excited expressions in their eyes, after all, if they could catch this 'anti-king' with their own hands, promotion and fortune would be inevitable.
But the opportunity is right in front of them, but no one dares to take action.
First, even if Zhu Gui is a rebel, he is still a real prince. If they are a little rude, will the emperor know about it and then get angry at them? That would not be promotion and wealth, but going straight to the road.
Furthermore, they were indeed suppressed by Zhu Gui's behavior or strong aura of directly breaking into their formation alone.
But at this moment, a Qianhu came over and drew his weapon and said: "You trash, it is the emperor's order to seize the king. Do you want to disobey?"
As he spoke, he rushed towards Zhu Gui, obviously eager to make a contribution, and at the same time he did not forget to say to Zhu Gui: "My young prince, if you are wise, don't resist, this way you will suffer less, otherwise I would have
Qianhu cannot guarantee..."
'boom'.
Before he finished speaking, there was a bloody hole on his forehead, and he fell to the ground on his back, stirring up dust half a foot high.
The surrounding soldiers were frightened. They saw what just happened. Why did their Qianhu just lie down without saying a word?
There were even soldiers who checked the body of this Qianhu, and then exclaimed: "Sir Qianhu, he is already dead."
Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers looked at Zhu Gui with horrified eyes, and involuntarily stepped back, fearing that they would be the ones who fell next moment.
Then a strange scene occurred.
At the south gate of Datong Mansion, hundreds of heavily armed Ming soldiers surrounded a young man, but they kept retreating and did not stop until they reached the city.
The people in the houses on both sides of the street saw this scene. They all recognized the surrounded King Dai, and then they all ran out and started shouting the slogan "King Dai" loudly.
Suddenly, the entire Datong Mansion was alarmed, all the people in the city ran out, and the streets were all blocked.
This made Lan Yu, who came after hearing the news and led the troops, unable to pass through the crowd.
This made Lan Yu extremely angry.
He even ordered people to arrest all the people blocking the road.
But there were too many people, and they were all uncharacteristically fearless.
In the end, Lan Yu's troops not only failed to approach the south gate, but were surrounded by angry people.
This scene was something Lan Yu had never expected.
However, he reacted quickly and led people to evacuate Datong Mansion from another direction of the city.
However, when he counted the number of his men, he found that there were 5,000 people when he entered the city, but now there were only more than 2,000 people left, and half of them were blocked in the city. This made Lan Yu shocked and angry.
, but there is nothing we can do.
In this way, Zhu Gui returned to the Prince Dai's Mansion without any effort, and all Lan Yu's soldiers who originally surrounded him were arrested by the angry people.
Sheriff Zhang finally squeezed his way in from the crowd. He wanted to be a peacemaker and asked Zhu Gui to release the soldiers and not to go against the court.
However, Zhu Gui did not respond to him. Instead, he asked Liu Jing, who was called over, where Princess Xu Miaoqing and the others were.
Liu Jing told Zhu Gui that Xu Miaoqing and the others were helping Hei Muhan and the others rebuild the city on the grassland.
This actually made Zhu Gui feel at ease.
Then he notified the Yunzhou Army to enter the city, and took all Lan Yu's captured men to the military camp in the city and imprisoned him. At the same time, he closed the city gates and declared that Datong Mansion was on a state of war readiness.
This series of measures were issued very quickly, but due to the positive response of the people in the city, they were also implemented very decisively. In less than an hour, the entire Datong Mansion had a completely new look.
Moreover, under Zhu Gui's instruction, Liu Jing began to preside over political affairs together with Commander Zhang. The first thing they did was to restore the Datong Chamber of Commerce and Datong Bank which had been abolished by Lan Yu. At the same time, they injected capital into Datong Bank in the name of the Prince's Palace, directly investing 500 yuan.
10,000 taels, and all merchants involved in this incident will be given free of charge.
This move directly restored the confidence of all merchants in Datong Prefecture and once again united around Datong Prefecture.
The reason why Zhu Gui wants to do this is to let everyone in Datong Mansion understand that only he can bring a bright future and a better life to Datong Mansion. As for the court, it will not care about their life and death at all.
Zhu Gui also wanted to 'thank' Lan Yu for helping him put on such a good show, otherwise it would have taken a lot of energy to ask him to mobilize the people of Datong Prefecture to side with him.
And Lan Yu looked at the "Dai" flag flying again on the wall of Datong Mansion and realized that something was wrong.
It's not that he didn't expect that some unexpected things would happen after Zhu Gui returned, but he never thought that the people of Datong Mansion would support Zhu Gui so much and even go against him and the court.
Originally, Lan Yu planned to wait for work in Datong Mansion, capture Zhu Gui alive, and even prepared to humiliate him here, and then reported to the court the news of rebellion, conflict, and accidental death.
But now the development of things has completely exceeded Lan Yu's expectations. The only thing that makes him feel a little lucky is that Zhu Gui's rebellion can now be confirmed.
Just when Lan Yu was hesitating whether to leave Datong Mansion and return to Nanjing, several figures suddenly appeared on the top of the city of Datong Mansion, and the leader was the acting king Zhu Gui.
"General, I didn't expect that after we were separated in the past, I would actually believe it under such circumstances today. Do I want to thank you for what you did in Datong Mansion?" Zhu Gui shouted angrily.
But will Lan Yu admit his mistake? He waved his riding whip, pointed at Zhu Gui and shouted: "On behalf of the king, you intend to rebel and support your own troops. Once the emperor has issued an oral order to force you to return to the capital, if you still think that you are the son of Ming Dynasty,
People, descendants of the Zhu family, just walk out of the city gate obediently, bear the thorn bush to plead guilty, and I, the general, can also say a few good words for you."
