The big families in the city are all proud today, and every family has set off artillery battles, and has also set up a wine banquet, calling friends, and exchanging glasses, so unhappy. It's like a New Year, with a kind of explosion after the pressure.

When the scholars and businessmen on the street met, they all greeted each other with smiles on their faces.

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, let's have a couple of drinks together."

"Okay, a good day should be celebrated, go, Taibai Lou, I'll be the east."

Compared with these gentlemen and merchants who cheered and congratulated, the other part of the city, especially the small landlords, especially the ordinary peasants and craftsmen, were all heavy-hearted.

Seeing that rent and interest reductions, grain price protection, and the recent clean-up and return of farmland are in full swing, seeing that this hard day is coming to an end, and the good days are about to begin, why did the sky change overnight.

Wang Heizi walked in front of the restaurant where business was booming, and a guy at the door of the restaurant spat heavily at him, and said with a sneer, "Hey, isn't this Mr. Wang, are you here to eat or to collect taxes?" If you want to take medicine, if you don't rush it, this Taibai Building is full, and the upstairs and upstairs are full, and there is no place. If you are here to collect taxes, it is not a coincidence, the owner is not there, you will come back next time. ”

Another guy next to him seemed to ignore his existence, and said loudly on the side, "What Mr. Wang, wasn't he a poor man in the past, he had no father or mother when he was a child, but later the old monk of the broken temple in Xishan took him in and raised him, and taught him to read Braille, and he really regarded himself as a scholar." ”

"That's it, that is, what kind of person who is against the party, he actually turned into a blue cloth, acted as a tax collector, and also had five people and six people with our predecessors."

"I don't look at myself or anything, I really think of myself as a character. Have you ever been to school? Is it famous? I also want to be a master, and I don't pee to take care of myself. ”

The guy sneered, "I already knew that this kind of person wouldn't be proud for a few days. Sure enough, our Han Emperor's flag has been erected again, and this Datong Mansion is still our emperor's majesty. ”

"Hahaha!"

Wang Heizi endured to ignore them and walked straight by. He walked all the way to a large gate on the east side of the street. This used to be the most lively place in Datong City, and now the gate is surrounded by high walls, and the traffic in front of the door is sparse, and it used to be the Datong branch of the Four Seas Bank.

Every day, the merchants and people who deposit and withdraw money and exchange do not count the base, and the gold and silver flow as if they are flowing.

But since yesterday, the officials, gentlemen, and businessmen of Datong City have supported the king and announced the restoration of the Ming Dynasty. After honoring the Luoyang court, Sihai Bank immediately ceased business.

Wang Heizi went around in a half circle and walked into the side alley.

"Captain Zhang, I'm back."

He poked his head out of the courtyard wall, glanced at him, and saw that he was the only one, so he replied, "Wait." ”

After a while, the side door opened, and a group of people stood behind it. Captain Zhang stood in front. He was carrying a short gun in his hand, and the people behind him were also carrying long guns.

"How's it going out there?" Captain Zhang asked.

"Those people are busy drinking and celebrating, and there are many people taking advantage of the chaos to loot."

Captain Zhang sneered twice after hearing this, and he asked people to close the door first. Then he pulled Wang Heizi back to the side of the stone table under the tree.

"Captain Zhang. Is this really going to change? ”

"What will change, this day is the day of the Han, and it will never change."

As the northern gateway of Shanxi, Datong has always been very important. At the time of the Ming Dynasty, there was once a chief military officer, which was one of the nine sides. At that time, the whole territory of Shanxi. There is a governor, three commanders and three governors, respectively, the governor of Shanxi and Xuanda, and the three towns of Shanxi, Xuanfu and Datong.

After the establishment of the new dynasty, Shanxi and Hebei set up the Zhili Military Region, and the Zhili Military Region originally garrisoned and garrisoned two towns. Nominally, the original three towns in Shanxi were all dismantled and merged into other towns. There is a division of soldiers and horses stationed in Datong, but some time ago, the Qing people came to attack, and the imperial court transferred the soldiers and horses of Datong to fight.

Datong City was only garrisoned by a small number of soldiers and horses for a while, but when the news of the restoration of Luoyang came, some of the Datong officials, gentry, businessmen and scholars who were dissatisfied with the new dynasty immediately secretly linked, and they launched the Ming Dynasty as the king, played the banner of reviving the Ming Dynasty, and took Datong City with their respective families.

Those people rebelled, and they also beat the idea of the bank's grain station, salt station, and post office.

However, these commercial establishments run by the imperial court have security guards.

Among them, the strongest security force is the bank. The bank has a strong security team, and after the chaos in Datong, the general manager of Datong Bank immediately closed the bank.

Captain Zhang is the captain of the bank's security team, and he says that he is a security team, but in fact there are 300 security guards. The reason for such a large scale is that Datong is the most important and prosperous city in the northern part of Shanxi, so the bank here is also one of the three largest branches in Shanxi.

The security team is not only responsible for the security of Datong Bank, but also responsible for the tasks of transporting money and discharging money to the branches of the surrounding counties. At the same time, there is also a team of 100 people in this security team, which is specially responsible for cracking down on counterfeit banknotes and silver in the northern part of Shanxi.

It is with these 300 security guards that Datong Branch relied on the tall walls of Yinshan to successfully withstand the previous waves of robbery.

"Captain Zhang, I heard that the thieves have organized more than 3,000 horses, and they are ready to send people to seize them in the four border counties, and they are also going to send people to storm the banks and grain depots."

After hearing this, Captain Zhang sneered twice.

"If they don't come to beat me, I'm going to beat them, these thieves. Kuroko, how is the contact between the grain station and the salt store? ”

"I've been there, the grain station, the salt station and the royal department store are still intact, and the thieves sent people to fight twice, but they didn't take advantage of it, so they withdrew. The grain station, the salt station, and the department store did not lose manpower, and they were willing to support it after hearing about your plan, captain. ”

"That's good."

Captain Zhang was very excited when he heard that those companies were willing to support and that none of them had lost their manpower.

"We have 300 security guards in our bank, and there are a lot of security guards in the three grain stations, and there are also grain collection teams at the grain stations, salt warehouses and salt transportation teams, and there are many porters in the shopping mall. Combined, we must have more than 1,000 people. ”

Wang Heizi hurriedly said, "Captain Zhang, when I went out, I also contacted some reliable brothers in the city and asked them to contact everywhere, and now there are three or four hundred people who are willing to do it with us." ”

Captain Zhang turned out to be a Chu soldier, but he was later injured and discharged. He is a native of Datong, Shanxi, and the boss arranged for him to be a security captain in the Datong branch. With his rich military experience, he led the security guards here and built an elite team to combat counterfeit money.

Captain Zhang retired from the army and injured a leg, and since then he has been walking lame, but his experience and courage are still there.

Datong rebelled and was caught off guard, but after careful analysis, he found that their enemies were just paper tigers. It's just taking advantage of the lack of soldiers in the city to make a rebellion, they have no soldiers and no artillery, they are just a group of patchwork families and some gathered ruffians and the like, such a group of people is completely black.

As can be seen from their previous attack when they tried to rob the bank, after a volley of guns, they scattered and fled.

On the contrary, although they are security guards, the 100 members of the special operations team under Captain Zhang are all trained by him, all of them are good guys, and they usually chase down counterfeit criminals, and they are all screaming. The most important thing is that they are all equipped with weapons, in fact, this action team under Captain Zhang is still a reserve team under the Datong Reserve Army. Captain Zhang still has the position of reserve officer of the reserve army.

There are flintlock firearms, short guns, swords and guns, and they even have cotton armor and steel helmets.

"When will you do it?" Wang Heizi asked.

"It's tonight."

Although Captain Zhang believed that the officials and soldiers of the imperial court would definitely come back to quell the chaos, he did not want to wait until that time. As a man who had participated in countless battles with the emperor, he despised the rebellions of those people. Since they declared a rebellion, there has been no decent action until now, and Captain Zhang has completely stopped treating these people as opponents.

Two days have passed, but what have these people done?

I didn't do anything, I just threw a feast to celebrate, and then I didn't know what to do there. So far, they have not even taken a few of the most important places in the city, such as banks, post offices, grain stations, salt warehouses, and shopping malls. They just occupied the yamen, and then discussed there how to write the inscription, how to put the list to the Luoyang court, which person should be given what position, and which person should be any official, and there were endless arguments.

"In the middle of the night tonight, we will set out together, and when the time comes, we will directly attack the palace of the king, and capture the thief and capture the king first. After capturing the king and acting for the king, he will seize the city gate and close the gate and beat the dogs. ”

Wang Heizi's blood boiled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of the insult he had been by two restaurant guys on the road before. "I can contact some more people, and then mobilize the people to besiege the mansion of those thieves and find them out." ”

"Yes, but one thing to remember, you can't burn and smash, you have to control the order. This Datong City is still owned by the imperial court, and it can't be destroyed. ”

Wang Heizi nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, this is also our home." ”

Night.

In the palace of the king of Datong City, the lights were brilliant, and a group of rebellious gentry from Datong gathered together for a banquet. It was the third day of the rebellion, but they had a feast and wine for three days.

"Have the banks and grain stations been knocked down?" Acting King Zhu Biography? Suddenly asked at the banquet.

"The lower officials have already sent people to persuade them to surrender, and it is estimated that these people will surrender tomorrow." The former prefect of Datong said confidently.

"That's good, take the bank and the grain station as soon as possible, and there will be money and food to reward the rebels."

Speaking, Zhu Chuan? I was about to raise my glass, but I heard a loud noise, and then there was a thunderclap outside.

"What kind of artillery battle to put at this time." The acting king said dissatisfied.

As a result, as soon as the words fell, a eunuch stumbled in outside.

"Oh no, the Han army has come in!"

"What?" Zhu Chuan? Exclaimed, the golden cup in his hand could no longer be held, and fell to the ground, clanging. (To be continued.) )
