After a panic in the middle of the night, the city of Beijing gradually calmed down at dawn. One is that in the second half of the night, the Liangshan army vigorously maintained law and order in the city, and killed a large number of lawbreakers who did evil, which greatly deterred those gangsters who made waves. Second, the south gate and the north gate were unimpeded, and the Liangshan army did not kill people and set fire to them like ordinary bandits, which made ordinary people feel a lot more at ease.

Especially after dawn, the streets and alleys posted notices of the Liangshan army, and everyone understood more clearly that the Liangshan people and horses were attacking the city this time to rescue the senior brother Lu Yuan, who had nothing to do with the other personnel, so the people's hearts were more settled.

But it was said that Yang Qing, the shopkeeper of the tavern called Qingshenglou in front of the mansion, was terrified for most of the night after being requisitioned by the Liangshan army last night, although those people said that they were just borrowing, and all expenses would be compensated according to the price, but he dared to believe it. In this way, it was not until dawn that the personnel in Liangshan settled the expenses with him with real money, and he believed it a little, thinking that these so-called bandits were really a little different. Later, those people took money to ask him to buy ingredients, and he completely believed it, he felt that there could be no such kind and polite bandits in the world, so he was relieved to make money boldly.

As soon as the men of Qingshenglou appeared in the market of Beijing City, they immediately became the focus of attention, and curious people surrounded them, so the various behaviors of the Liangshan army quickly spread through the mouths of these people.

"I said, how can this benevolent and righteous man in Jingdong and Hebei do banditry, he is all blindly worried."

In a bazaar, a middle-aged man said confidently.

"Brother, who is this benevolent and righteous man you are talking about?" A person in the crowd asked puzzled.

The man squinted at the man, as if he looked down on him for being unheard, but said in a loud and triumphant voice:

"This person is the famous Jingdong Jade Noodles Meng Weigu petty official, and now he is the owner of Liangshan Manor, and the soldiers and horses in this city are the people in his manor, and over the years, he has only helped the displaced people in our Hebei Province, and you say that such characters will attack our ordinary people."

"It turned out to be this character, then I can really rest assured, my third aunt's cousin has a nephew in Bazhou, and I also went to Liangshan Manor last year.

"However, it is always wrong to fight against the imperial court and attack the state capital."

At this time, an old Confucian man said. was scolded back by the man before:

"Do you know why he came, for his senior brother Lu Yuanwai, why this Lu Yuanwai was imprisoned, no one in our Beijing City knows, can be willing to take on this great relationship for his brother, how many people are in this world! Besides, there are a few good officials in our Daimyo Mansion. Hum! Don't say it, don't say it, and go home and open a store, can't you take the opportunity to make a few more money? ”

The man walked away on his own, and the onlookers went back one after another, taking care of their livelihood with peace of mind.

In the tavern of Qingshenglou, Gu Haotian and the others listened to the information collected by the intelligence department personnel from the city, and their tense nerves slowly relaxed. Nearly 10,000 hands were scattered into this hundreds of thousands of big cities, like a stream flowing into a river, showing no trace of existence. What's more, they were reluctant to go on a killing spree, so they made a plan to calm the people's minds early in the morning, and everything seemed to be going very smoothly from the opening of the city gates and the killing of the gangsters last night to the selection and discussion in the morning.

The Intelligence Department continued to grasp the dynamics of the market, and Geng Gong led the fifth cavalry battalion to cooperate with the operation. Director Xiao Jiasui led Huai Shupo's men and prisoners into the city immediately, and was responsible for the transfer of materials in the warehouse. The 4th Battalion of Sailors stayed at the East Gate Battalion, and the 5th Battalion entered the city to assist in the transfer of supplies. The rest of the battalions immediately attacked the government and tried to take it before dark. ”

Seeing that the security problem he was most worried about had been temporarily resolved, Gu Haotian immediately ordered the capture of the last fortification in Beijing, and he must now race against time.

The battle against the government began in the morning, but the difficulty of the attack was beyond everyone's expectations. I saw that on the courtyard wall that was more than a foot high, the sergeants, the officials, and even the horses and cooks were all holding weapons on the wall to fight.

The two battalions of infantry of Lu Zhishen and Zheng Yuanjue have not had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions since they arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, and they will attack the Mansion. However, from morning to noon, the two battalions alternated several rounds of attacks to no avail. Seeing that they were losing face under the noses of the battalions, these two reckless monks screamed angrily, and even stripped off their monks' robes and went into battle in person with Zen sticks, but in the end they were unsuccessful.

At noon, Gu Haotian saw that the attack was blocked, so he ordered the troops to be collected.

"Why is the third brother Mingjin, give the Sprinkle family another hour, I can't take this broken yard, I will come to see you."

Lu Zhishen was on fire, but with the lesson of Zhujiazhuang last time, he didn't dare to disobey the order to withdraw his troops, and he lost his temper as soon as he retreated.

"No, the Sprinkle family has also figured it out, those people inside are already at the end of the crossbow, and they will definitely break if they attack again." Zheng Yuanjue also said angrily.

"You two are in a hurry, I also know that if we attack for a while, this courtyard will be broken, but we have a better way, why should we increase unnecessary casualties?"

Gu Haotian replied calmly. He now has thousands of men on hand, and if he is determined to attack it, this courtyard can naturally be taken, but he doesn't want to increase casualties, so he naturally wants to try the power of the manor's new weapons.

The two great monks thought about it, they had been injured a lot in the morning, why did they have to fight with human lives when they had good things, so they had nothing to say, so they only sulked with their faces.

Inside the palace, Wen Da relied on the two or three thousand troops he had temporarily collected at hand, and later used the government and miscellaneous servants, but when he saw that he could not support it, the men and horses of Liangshan outside stopped attacking. The staff of the Manchurian government were overjoyed for a while, and Liang Zhongshu took out some silver taels to reward everyone. However, Wen Da knew the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan team through half a day of fighting, and if he attacked again in the afternoon, these people would not be able to hold it anyway, but he would never dare to make a noise, and only kept urging his subordinates to prepare for defense. However, to his surprise, the expected attack did not appear for a whole afternoon, which couldn't help but confuse Wenda.

Xiao Jiasui rushed to Qingsheng Tower in the afternoon, and this military and political chief was in Huaishupo for several days, giving full play to his level of ability, treating the wounded and boosting morale, but also treating thousands of prisoners into obedience. In the two battles of Yujiatuan and Feihuyu, in addition to those who were killed in the battle and fled into the mountains, more than 5,000 officers and soldiers were captured. The last time Xiao Jiasui followed Gu Haotian to subdue the officers and soldiers of Ruzhou, Chenzhou, and Yingzhou, he already had experience, and this time he handled it handily, through means such as treating injuries, talking heart-to-heart, and complaining about grievances. Thousands of captives are now completely hostile to the Liangshan people, and many have even offered to serve Liangshan. After receiving the order this morning, Xiao Jiasui immediately thought of the shortage of manpower to carry the materials in the warehouse, so he recruited people among the captives, not wanting to spend a lot of money, and these people were all vying for the lead. He took Sun An to the treasury with the selected 2,000 people first, and then asked Yang Zhi to take the rest of the people to the barracks, and he went to Qingsheng Tower to report first.

"Director Xiao is talented, solve me a big trouble!"

After listening to his report, Gu Haotian praised him sincerely. Then he gave a brief explanation of the affairs of the warehouse, and Xiao Jiasui hurried to go.

Let's say that after Lu Junyi took care of the affairs of the family last night, he and Shi Wengong came to Qingsheng Building. At that time, Gu Haotian and Lin Chong were busy with various affairs, and after the four brothers met, they briefly said a few words, and Lu Junyi saw that it was inconvenient to disturb him, and he was already in a bad mood, so he resigned. Since this morning, he and Shi Wengong have silently watched the little junior brother deploy troops and calmly deal with various affairs, and they sighed greatly in their hearts, they still underestimated this young man that day, and they couldn't help but admire the master's unique vision.

"Senior brother, what do you think of the little junior brother?"

At this time, after Shi Wengong saw the conversation between Gu Haotian and Xiao Jiasui, he asked Lu Junyi softly.

"Now I only admire the vision of the master and his old man, in the vast sea of people, he actually traveled thousands of miles to find such a genius, compared to me, I am far behind!"

When Zhou Tong came to Hebei the year before last, he told Lu Junyi about the process of accepting apprentices, but Shi Wengong didn't know it, and couldn't help but be a little confused.

That year, the master was in the Qinling Mountains, and sensed that there was a vision in Jingdong, so he rushed all the way over, and then found his junior brother in Yuncheng Gujiazhuang, and then taught him carefully in the ancient family for the next year, until he left in the summer of the previous year, but left Zhou Yunqing's junior brother to assist him. When he came to the capital in the autumn of that year, he told me that he wanted me to wait for my brother to help him become a talent. I also had some time in the manor, I thought that the strength of our master was not bad, but I didn't expect that there was a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in it, and there were not a few people like me who had martial arts, and there were many talented people, and the person who reported it was called Xiao Jiasui, but he was a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and he was known as the great talent of Liusui Jiahe; Sitting at the head of the junior brother is Hebei celebrity Xu Guanzhong, I don't know if the senior brother knows; The monk who led the attack in the morning was called Lu Zhishen, and it was because of the Wutai Mountain Elder Zhizhen who came to serve; There is also a stranger named Gongsun Sheng, but he is a disciple of Luo Zhenren of Erxian Mountain; Now these people are all willing to be used by their teachers and disciples. When I was in Liangshan, I often thought that it would be good for our senior brothers to assist our junior brothers as soon as possible, otherwise we would let outsiders say that our master has no one and fall into the name of the master. ”

At this time, it was Lin Chong who replied, from last night to the morning, he assisted Gu Haotian to be busy with his feet without touching the ground, and sat with the two of them when he had a little free time in the afternoon, after all, he went to Liangshan earlier, and he was more clear about the legendary experience of the little junior brother, and he also knew the strength of the manor very well, which would make him deliberately introduce Gu Haotian and the situation in the manor in detail, one was worried that the two of them were arrogant in their own skills, and the other was to let the two understand the strength of the manor and settle down to assist the little junior brother.

Although these two people know something about Gu Haotian, they are relatively vague about the strength of the entire manor, even if Shi Wengong has been to the manor, but then hurried to the Daimyo's Mansion, and what they know is not the tip of the iceberg. After listening to Lin Chong's explanation this time, the two of them felt like a thunderbolt in their hearts, royal descendants, Buddhist disciples, and descendants of Xianshan...... What kind of characters are these! For a while, the two were stunned.

After a long time, Lu Junyi and Shi Wengong regained their senses, but they said to Lin Chong together: "Thank you for the reminder of Senior Brother (Senior Brother), I know what to do." ”

Lin Chong was relieved when he saw that the two of them listened. Since then, several members of the sect have worked together to help Gu Haotian achieve great causes, and also established the status of the first sect in the world.

Gu Haotian didn't know what the three senior brothers were talking about, and after he explained Xiao Jiasui, he and Xu Guanzhong recruited Ma Lao Wu, who came with the army from the manor, and carefully inquired about the details of tonight's operation. The deputy director of the firearms workshop personally brought the new gunpowder this time to test its power. Originally, when attacking the city, he also considered using it, but later Gu Haotian felt that it was too terrifying and gave up, and the wall of the palace was just right to try.

In the evening, the sky was clear in Beijing, but a loud noise suddenly sounded in the direction of the government office, but it was like a thunderbolt in the sunny sky.
