Fang Shiru on the side had a look of death on his face.
The Fang family's butler poured out the whole story like beans from a bamboo tube.
Zhu Gui's face became more and more ugly. This old fox actually wanted to sacrifice the entire Datong Mansion in order to consolidate his position?
He looked at Fang Shiru: "What else do you have to say now?"
Now that things have happened, Fang Shiru has given up.
He shouted "Here comes someone", and nearly a hundred guards with swords in their hands jumped out from all directions.
These people have fierce eyes, and they are obviously not kind people.
The Fang family has been able to stand in Datong Mansion for many years and has a large amount of fertile land in its hands, not just because the Fang family is rich.
In order to maintain their status, the Fang family spent a lot of gold and silver to train a 'cavalry'.
That's right, they did business with the Mongols just to buy their horses.
It's just that this place is within the Fang family's courtyard, and the cavalry can only be used as infantry.
"My young prince, I have to admit that you are very capable. You were able to knit together all the forces in Datong Mansion in such a short period of time. This is something I have not been able to do."
"But you are still too young to dare to break into our house with these people. Now that the matter has been exposed, I can only risk it."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding Fang family thugs also drew their weapons and surrounded Zhu Gui and others.
When Zhu Gui saw this, he didn't waste any time, he drew his pistol directly, and then shot away the person closest to him.
"Fang Shiru, you underestimate me too much. If it hadn't happened today, I would have wanted to wait for a while to deal with you country squires peacefully. Now it seems that I am too kind."
After that, he waved his hand, and the two guards immediately approached him, took out their flintlock guns from behind, and stood ready.
Fang Shiru was startled by Zhu Gui's shooting action just now.
It was very different from the Ming army firearms he had seen, and the person who was hit died on the spot. Isn't this too powerful?
"Whoever catches the young prince will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 yuan. We will leave Datong Mansion and live outside the Great Wall."
Fang Shiru shouted loudly and stepped back.
The Fang family is already in chaos.
These thugs raised by the Fang family were originally desperadoes. When they heard Fang Shiru's heavy reward, their eyes turned red.
They don't care about the prince or whoever is in front of them. As long as they have money, they can kill their own mother.
A group of people swarmed up.
Zhu Gui exchanged a pistol again and fired with both hands.
The two soldiers also advanced and retreated in a well-organized manner without any panic.
So within three feet, smoke filled the air, and three feet away, corpses lay everywhere.
Even these desperadoes had never seen such a bloody scene, and they were stunned for a while.
In their eyes, the opponent's bullets seem to be harvesting their own lives for free.
The passion aroused by money was quickly dominated by fear, and many people had quietly slipped away from behind.
The Fang family members were also running outside, but their movements were not fast enough.
They were soon intercepted by another group of soldiers from the Prince's Palace who went to intercept the Fang family's food transport team after hearing the gunshots.
This seemingly disparity in numbers, but even greater disparity in firepower, was resolved within a stick of incense.
Xu Yingxu also came over with hundreds of people.
"How did this happen?"
Xu Yingxu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the scene in the Fang family courtyard.
Zhu Gui was instructing people to search his house. After hearing Xu Yingxu's words, he immediately came over and explained to him what happened in Fang's house.
"These guys who are rich and unkind dare to collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. We must not tolerate it. What about them?"
Xu Yingxu said indignantly.
"They have been arrested and will be interrogated when there is time. The most important thing now is that the Mongols will attack soon. Are you sure you can hold Datong Mansion?"
Zhu Gui asked immediately.
He had already learned through Hu Shidao's intelligence that this might be the largest operation by the Mongols in the past few years.
And he also learned from Xu Yingxu that the garrison in Datong Mansion only had one guard, and it was not full, just over four thousand.
Coupled with the lax armament and lack of training, this battle is a bit uncertain.
Sure enough, Xu Yingxu had a troubled look on his face.
"If you give me another half year, I will be sure to drive away those Mongolian tribes completely. But now, the situation is not optimistic. If the prince can provide some flintlock guns."
At this time, Xu Yingxu has not forgotten to think about the good things in Zhu Gui's hands.
Zhu Gui smiled bitterly and said: "Even if I can give it to them now, they may not be able to use it. Forget it, let's let the soldiers from the Prince Dai's Palace come too."
Although there are only a hundred of these soldiers, they usually undergo some shooting training.
Zhu Gui was cruel and exchanged ninety flintlock guns from the system store.
In the face of a powerful enemy, he could not care less about the risk of the flintlock rifles being lost.
At worst, we can just take them back after this battle.
After the two discussed, Xu Yingxu left first with others.
Zhu Gui asked his soldiers to gather the government soldiers, and then handed over all their work to the militiamen.
After they were assigned flintlocks, they were told to attack the Mongols.
Unexpectedly, these soldiers who were former salt traders cheered when they heard this.
This gave Zhu Gui some peace of mind.
Zhu Gui led the team on horseback to the main entrance of Datong Mansion.
Xu Yingxu went to inspect other places. There was only one thousand households here and Zhang Mao, who was woken up overnight.
Zhang Mao obviously hadn't woken up yet. At this time, he heard the news that the Mongols were about to attack, and he looked a little frightened.
When he saw Zhu Gui, he immediately came to greet him.
"Your Majesty, the Mongols will come to attack the city. Is this news reliable?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. By the way, let the people on the city wall put out all the torches. Don't scare the Mongols away."
Zhu Gui said to the thousand households.
The Qianhu was stunned for a moment, and then ran to convey the order.
Although this battle may be extremely dangerous, once it can be defended, Zhu Gui can even ask Zhu Yuanzhang for the right to form a personal guard.
At dawn, just as the stars in the sky disappeared, the sound of horse hooves came quickly from far to near.
Not long after, I looked down at the city and saw nearly a thousand cavalry on horseback waving scimitars and heading towards the main gate like a mudslide.
But when they saw that the city gate was closed, their speed began to slow down.
They were very courageous and came all the way to the city.
"Hey, is this Fang Shiru on the wall?"
A low roar came from the city.
Zhu Gui was about to answer, but was stopped by Xu Yingxu beside him.
He whispered: "If we attack like this, these Mongols will just retreat. If you want to severely damage them, it is best to let some of them in."
