The governor of Cangzhou stood in the yard, looked at several figures coming out of the hall, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
"General Wei, General Chen, Lord, Princess..."
He finally realized where the ominous premonition in his heart these days came from.
They're back, they're back!
The Governor's Mansion is already in chaos, and those rioters rushed in... No, they are not like rioters, they are organized and disciplined, they don't smash or rob, they just control the servants and officials of the Governor's Mansion, there are only dozens of people in the government office The famous yamen servant had no ability to resist in front of these hundreds of people. Soon, the chaotic governor's mansion settled down.
It has been a long time, and the more than 2,000 generals in charge of the security of the state city have not moved at all.
The governor of Cangzhou looked up and looked outside, where the flames shot up to the sky, it was the direction of the camp.
The only explanation is that they were also attacked at the same time that the governor's mansion was attacked, and they could not protect themselves.
The deafening thunder and flames reminded him of the tragic scene of corpses strewn across the thorny ridge that night, and his whole body trembled like chaff.
All the people in the Governor's Mansion gathered in one place, Chen Qing came over, waved his hand, and said, "Take them down first."
It is not difficult at all to attack the governor's mansion. The gatekeepers are our own people, and the terrain and defense inside have already been clearly grasped. They were caught off guard.
Wei Liang walked outside the gate of the mansion and asked loudly, "How is the situation outside the city?"
There was a horse riding Juechen in the distance, General Fan laughed and got off his horse, and said: "There is heaven's punishment, there are magic weapons, and there are two school lieutenants who belong to us, and it is a surprise attack. If you don't win, I, Lao Fan, will cut off my head and use it as a stool for you!"
He strode up to Yang Liuqing, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, "His Royal Highness, the last generals of the more than 2,000 defenders in Cangzhou have all been captured. Twenty-three people were injured on our side, no serious injuries, and no deaths in battle!"
In this level of fighting, only more than 20 people were slightly injured, which is already a mythical result, but considering the situation of the raid and the gap in equipment, the four captains had been instigated by two before, and the first time they started fighting The guard and the other two lieutenants were taken down, causing the Cangzhou guards to be in chaos with no command—this result is nothing to brag about.
The thunder and flames outside the city had already stopped, but almost no one in Cangzhou fell asleep.
Whether it is ordinary people or gentry families, they all closed their doors and looked at the teams hurrying on the street through the cracks of the doors, with worry and panic on their faces.
They have taken root in Cangzhou for many years, so how could they not know what this means? They have seen this scene too many times.
Someone broke the city gate and occupied the governor's yamen. Cangzhou is about to change again!
After dawn tomorrow, this Cangzhou will no longer be the Cangzhou of today.
They don't know who broke the city, and they don't know how those people will treat the people in Cangzhou City, and they don't know what their future will be...
But one thing is for sure.
Tonight, in the city of Cangzhou, no one will be able to sleep peacefully.
Wei Liang, Chen Qing, Fan Qiao and others also stayed up all night. They were busy dealing with the mess and reaping the fruits of victory. After Cangzhou was completely taken over, there were still more things to be busy.
Govern Cangzhou, expand the team, repair the city walls, and resist foreign enemies that may appear at any time...
Taking down the state city is only the first step, the first small step, of their upcoming great cause.
…
As soon as it was dawn, people who hadn't slept all night saw through the cracks in the door that some people were pasting something on the streets and alleys. What surprised them was that among these people, there were neighbors they knew.
Seeing these people walking around, someone finally couldn't bear it, opened the door of the house a small crack, and whispered to the person who was posting the notice at the street corner: "Hey, Zhang Dapao, what are you doing? How dare you go out at this time?" , you don't want to die!"
A man posted the notice on the street, jumped up and patted it hard, and then turned his head, looked at him, and said in surprise, "Why don't you die? I posted the notice and didn't get in the way of anyone." Whoever it is, let alone break the law..."
"What notice are you posting?" The man opened the door a little wider and said doubtfully, "You are not afraid that the people who entered the city yesterday will arrest you, I saw from the window last night that they even arrested the governor! "
The man named Zhang Dapao grinned and said, "Catch me, hehe, you don't know who tied the rope on the governor's body yesterday!"
The man opened the door even wider, wondering: "What does it have to do with you, could it be you who tied it up?"
"To tell you the truth, the rope on the governor's body yesterday - I watched the brother next to me tie it!"
Zhang Dapao said with some regret: "Hey, if I hadn't been busy tying up another dog officer yesterday, this good thing would have happened to me..."
"What do you mean?" The man walked out of the house, looked at Zhang Dapao, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you also participated in the rebellion, who the hell broke in last night?"
"What rebellion!" Zhang Dapao waved his hand, and said dissatisfied: "I tell you, the one who rebelled is the current dog emperor. He killed the father and killed the eldest brother to be the rebel. We followed the princess to put down the rebellion. You don't understand Just stop talking nonsense!"
"What did you say?" The man was stunned and asked, "You said it was Her Royal Highness who called in last night, and Princess Duan Rong is back?"
Zhang Dapao nodded and said, "That's not true, otherwise, I'm full early in the morning and have nothing to do, so why post this?"
The man looked at the notice and asked, "What's written on it?"
"I don't know what I wrote..." Zhang Dapao scratched his head and said, "However, I heard from them that His Highness wants to hire people to repair the city wall and pay for food. , I can still get the land when I come back!"
While the man was standing there in a daze, Zhang Dapao stuffed a stack of notices into his hand, and said, "Don't be dazed, if you have nothing to do, help me finish posting these, and invite you to dinner at noon..."
At this time, in the streets and alleys of Cangzhou City, someone was holding a big paper tube in his hand, walking through the streets and alleys, shouting all the way.
"We're recruiting, we're recruiting, we're building the city wall at the south gate, ten yuan a day, the wages are settled every day, and two meals are enough. Those who are interested can go to the government office to sign up. The number of people is limited, first come first served..."
"Recruitment, recruitment, Her Royal Highness is recruiting troops, join the army today, get paid tomorrow, and get land in the future!"
…
The people hid at home and couldn't see the notice, but they could understand people's words.
They were shocked. It was Princess Duanrong who broke into the city last night
Her Royal Highness is back again
It is said that the Man of Destiny is coming soon, could it be Her Royal Highness
Yes, it must be. When Princess Duanrong was born, she was protected by a phoenix. Even the stars in the sky said that she was not the fate of ordinary people, but blessed by God—isn’t this the person of destiny!
They don't trust the government, they don't trust anyone, but they trust the princess.
They look forward to the stars and the moon every day, they are looking forward to this day, and they are looking forward to the princess coming back to save them...
An old man pushed open the door, went to the street, stopped a soldier holding a paper tube, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is the princess back?"
The soldier nodded.
The old man sat on the ground, weeping and crying: "His Highness is back, we finally waited for His Highness to come back!"
More and more people came out of their homes, took to the streets, read the notices posted in the city, and confirmed each other's eyes.
The whole city boiled at this moment.
The whole state rejoices!
"His Highness is back, His Highness is finally back. Our hard days are coming to an end!"
"It turns out that His Highness is the Man of Destiny, and it turns out that the Man of Destiny that the Empress said is His Royal Highness the Princess!"
"I want to join the army, and I want to follow His Highness to fight the world. Even God has said that His Highness is the emperor's life, and it will definitely work!"
"I still have an old mother at home, so I can't follow His Highness. I plan to sign up to build the city wall and make the wall thicker so that no one of them can get in!"
…
Overnight, the governor's mansion in Cangzhou has been changed into the princess mansion, which is also the temporary command office of the revolutionary army.
In front of the princess mansion, the people of Cangzhou gathered could not see the end at a glance.
An old lady with a stooped body was carrying a basket and said: "Master, I am not going to see Her Majesty the Princess. The old lady dare not disturb Your Majesty. This basket of eggs was laid by an old hen at home. Help me get it." Go in, the old woman has no strength to repair the city wall, nor does she have the strength to fight. This is a small thought, to replenish the health of the soldiers... "
A burly man carried half a leaf of pork on his back, put it on the steps of the door, and said, "Give this meat to the soldiers. I will stop selling meat in the future, and I will serve as a soldier tomorrow!"
"These few bolts of cloth are for the soldiers to make clothes..."
"These two fish were just fished yesterday, and there is nothing to get out, just be careful..."
…
The crowd moved forward little by little consciously. People said a word or two, or simply said nothing, put down their things, turned around and left.
"What the hearts of the people are, what the destiny is..." Li Yi and Ms. Liu Er sat side by side on the roof, patted her thigh, pointed to the crowd below, and sighed: "See, this is the real destiny." people… "
