Happy Little Scholar

The governor of Cangzhou stood in the yard, watching several figures coming out of the hall, his legs softened and he collapsed to the ground.

"General Wei, General Chen, Duke, Princess..."

He finally realized where the ominous premonition in his heart came from in the past few days.

They fought back, they fought back again!

The governor's mansion was in chaos, and those rioters rushed in... No, they were not like rioters. They were organized and disciplined. They did not smash or rob. They just controlled the yamen runners and officials of the governor's mansion. There were only dozens of yamen runners in the government office. In front of these hundreds of people, they had no ability to resist. Soon, the noisy governor's mansion settled down.

It had been a long time, and the more than 2,000 soldiers responsible for the security and defense of the state city still did not make any movement.

The governor of Cangzhou looked up and looked outside. The place where the flames shot up into the sky was the direction of the camp.

The only explanation is that when the governor's mansion was attacked, they were also attacked and could not protect themselves.

The deafening thunder and fire reminded him of the tragic scene of the corpses strewn all over the Thorn Ridge that night, and he was shaking like a sieve.

All the people in the governor's mansion gathered together. Chen Qing came over, waved his hand, and said, "Take them away first."

It was not difficult to attack the governor's mansion. The people guarding the gate were their own people. The terrain and defense inside were also well understood. The militiamen who had been lurking around the governor's mansion could catch them off guard in an instant.

Wei Liang walked outside the gate and asked loudly: "What's the situation outside the city?"

There was a horseman in the distance, and General Fan laughed and dismounted, saying: "There is a punishment from heaven, a magic weapon, and two lieutenants are ours. It's a surprise attack, and we are working together from inside and outside. If we still can't win this battle, I, Fan, will cut off my head and use it as a stool for you to sit on!"

He strode to Yang Liuqing, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "Your Highness, I have captured all the more than 2,000 defenders in Cangzhou. We have 23 injured, 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 surprise attack and the gap in equipment, two of the four lieutenants were turned against before, and the defender and the other two lieutenants were captured as soon as they took action, resulting in the Cangzhou defenders being unmanned and in chaos------this result is nothing to brag about.

The thunder and fire outside the city had stopped long ago, but almost no one in Cangzhou was asleep.

Whether ordinary people or gentry families, they all closed their doors and looked at the team hurrying on the street through the cracks of the door, with worries and panic on their faces.

They have been rooted in Cangzhou for many years, 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 office. Cangzhou is going to change again!

After dawn tomorrow, this Cangzhou will no longer be the Cangzhou of today.

They don't know who broke the city, nor do they know how those people will treat the people in Cangzhou, let alone what their future will be...

But one thing is beyond doubt.

Tonight, I'm afraid no one in Cangzhou can sleep well.

Wei Liang, Chen Qing, Fan Qiao and others also stayed up all night. They were busy dealing with the endgame and reaping the fruits of victory. After completely taking over Cangzhou, there are more things to do.

Governing Cangzhou, expanding the team, repairing the city walls, and resisting foreign enemies that may appear at any time...

Taking the state capital is just the first step, the first small step, of their upcoming great cause.

…

As soon as the sky brightened, people who had not slept all night saw through the cracks in their doors that some people were posting something on the streets. What surprised them was that among these people, there were actually neighbors they knew.

Watching these people walking around, someone finally couldn't help but open the door a little and whispered to the person who was posting notices at the street corner: "Hey, Zhang Dapao, what are you doing? You dare to go out at this time, don't you want to die!"

A man posted a notice on the street, jumped up and slapped it hard, slapped it tightly, then turned around and looked at him, surprised: "Why don't you want to die? I posted a notice, I didn't block anyone, and it's not against the law..."

"What notice are you posting?" The man opened the door a little wider and asked in confusion: "Aren't you afraid that the people who came into the city yesterday will catch you? I saw from the window last night that they even caught the governor!"

The man named Zhang Dapao grinned and said: "Catch me, hehe, you don't know who tied the rope on the governor yesterday!"

The man opened the door a little wider and asked in confusion: "And What does it have to do with you? Could it be you who tied him up? "

"To tell you the truth, the rope on the governor's body yesterday was tied by me while watching my brother next to me!"

Zhang Dapao said with some regret: "Hey, if I hadn't been busy tying up another dog official yesterday, this good thing would have fallen on my head..."

"What do you mean?" The man walked out of the house and looked at Zhang Dapao, surprised: "Did you also join the rebellion? Who broke in last night?"

"What rebellion!" Zhang Dapao waved his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "I tell you, the one who rebelled was the current dog emperor. He killed his father and his eldest brother and that was a rebellion. We followed Her Royal Highness the Princess to quell the rebellion. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense!"

"What did you say?" The man was stunned and asked: "You said it was Her Royal Highness the Princess who broke in last night. Princess Duanrong is back again?"

Zhang Dapao nodded and said: "That's not true. Otherwise, I'd be full early in the morning and have nothing to do. Why would I post this?"

The man looked at the notice and asked, "What does it say?"

"I don't know what he wrote..." Zhang Dapao scratched his head and said, "However, I heard them say that His Highness wants to recruit people to build the city wall and take care of food and money. If you follow His Highness to put down the rebellion, join the revolution, and establish You can still get a share of the land for your military exploits!”

When the man was stunned, Zhang Dapao stuffed a stack of notices into his hand and said, "Don't be stunned. If you have nothing to do, help me finish posting these. I'll treat you to lunch..."

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 are recruiting workers. We are recruiting workers to build the city wall at the south gate. The price is ten cents per day. The salary will be paid daily and we will provide you with two meals. If you are interested, please go to the government office to sign up. The number of people is limited. First come first served..."

"Recruiting troops, recruiting troops, Your Highness the Princess is recruiting troops. Join the army today, get paid tomorrow, and get land in the future!"

…

The people were hiding at home and couldn't see the notices, but they could understand people's words.

They looked shocked. It was Princess Duanrong who broke into the city last night?

Her Highness the Princess is back again?

They say the destined one is coming soon, could it be Her Royal Highness?

Yes, it must be. When Princess Duanrong was born, she was guarded by a phoenix. Even the stars in the sky said that she was not the fate of ordinary people, but was blessed by God------isn't she the destined person? !

They don't trust the government or anyone, but they trust the princess.

They look forward to the stars and the moon every day, just looking forward to this day, hoping that Her Highness the Princess will come back to rescue them...

An old man opened the door, walked to the street, stopped a soldier holding a paper tube, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is Her Royal Highness back?"

The soldier nodded.

The old man sat on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and wailed: "His Highness is back, we finally waited until His Highness came back!"

More and more people came out of their homes and took to the streets, looking at the notices posted in the city and checking each other's eyes.

The whole city was boiling at this moment.

The whole state rejoices!

"His Highness is back, Your Highness is finally back. Our hard days are coming to an end!"

"It turns out that Your Highness is the destined person. It turns out that the destined person mentioned by the Queen is Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"I want to join the army, and I want to conquer the world with His Highness. Even God has said that Your Highness is destined to be the emperor, and he will definitely succeed!"

"I still have my mother at home, so I can't follow His Highness. I plan to sign up to build the city wall and make it thicker so that no one can break in!"

…

Overnight, the Cangzhou Governor's Mansion has been transformed into the Princess Mansion, which is also the temporary headquarters of the revolutionary army.

In front of the princess's mansion, the people of Cangzhou gathered so many people that it was impossible to see them all.

An old lady with a stooped body was carrying a basket and said: "Master, I am not going to see Her Highness the Princess. The old woman dare not disturb Her Highness. This basket of eggs was laid by the old hen at home. You can help me get it." Go in, the old woman doesn’t have the strength to build the city wall, nor does she have the strength to fight. This is a small kindness to replenish the health of the soldiers..."

A strong man carried half a fan of pork on his back and placed it on the doorstep. He said, "These meats are for the soldiers. I will no longer sell meat. I will join the army tomorrow!"

"These pieces of cloth are used to make clothes for the soldiers..."

"These two fish were caught yesterday, and I can't get anything out. Just be careful..."

…

The crowd moved forward step by step consciously. People said a word or two, or simply said nothing, put down their things, and turned around to leave.

"What the people want, destiny is..." Li Yi and Miss Liu Er sat side by side on the roof, patted her thigh, pointed to the crowd below, and sighed: "Do you see, this is the real destiny man of……"
