The next moment, Zhu Meng, who was soaked in blood and holding a big head in his hand, looked at the fearful disciples and followers with a sullen face.
"Zhonggan, come here, let this dog official's head be hung outside the government office of a certain family."
"You, hurry up and inform all the officials and ask them to come to the government office to see you. If you are unwilling or dare not come, then just come here holding their heads."
"The four of you, each leading a hundred elites, will seal the four gates and allow entry but not exit."
"And you, Mr. Liu, find someone to copy a hundred copies of the memorandum you wrote before, and post it in key places in Suzhou City."
"In addition, let all the officers go to a certain family and read it along the street. Report this dog official to the Suzhou elders for taking the name of my Zhu family, oppressing the good people, and preying on the Suzhou people."
As Zhu Meng stood still in the government office and issued orders one after another, the entire Suzhou city suddenly became tense.
Especially when the Zhu family guards, who were accustomed to being arrogant and domineering, patrolled the Suzhou city in groups.
Then the officers began to enumerate Wang Zhizhou's various crimes.
Although the people of Suzhou do not know whether it is true or not, they at least understand one thing, that is, the city of Suzhou is probably going to be in chaos.
Zhu Meng not only wanted to control Suzhou City, but also sent his confidants to lead elite soldiers and generals directly to Xiuzhou to join the Zhu family guards in Xiuzhou and strive to capture the city of Xiuzhou.
There are also teams rushing towards Wujiang County and Changshu County.
It is necessary to capture these two counties as well, only then can one be able to control one's basic base.
Fortunately, Zhu Meng and his son usually maintained two or three thousand guards, and they were all elite soldiers who were killed with money and silk.
In addition, under the gibberish of a literati retainer with a bit of ink in his belly.
He, Mr. Zhu, had finally completed all the procedures for preparing to stand on his own feet. He will proclaim himself King of Wu in Suzhou City on an auspicious day two days later, and his reign name will be Tianqing.
In addition, the disciples and followers under him must also be entrusted and promoted, otherwise they will definitely not be willing to work for themselves in a down-to-earth manner.
All the young men from the Zhu family farm had entered the Suzhou city. Armed with crudely made swords and spears, they stood on the top of the Suzhou city in a dull and timid manner. At least they could gather a number of people.
The weavers in Suzhou City were also forced to get busy and began to embroider the Wu-character banner and the Zhu-character banner for the new King of Wu.
After all, if you fight against the rebels, you don't even have a banner, so it's easy to lose morale.
#####
The morning glow has gradually dissipated as the sun has jumped above the horizon.
At this moment, there are still sporadic sounds of fighting coming from near Ye Pier, which is located at the foot of Jinniu Mountain in Hangzhou.
As the commander of this army, Fang Dutou Fang La was holding an iron spear and breathing heavily.
There were still a few feather arrows stuck in the armor on their bodies, and at this moment, around them, the dock camp that originally belonged to the Zhu family's smuggling fleet was now almost completely in ruins.
Only some broken walls that have not been completely burned are left, still emitting wisps of green smoke.
In this camp, there were nearly a hundred corpses lying down. Of course, most of them belonged to the Zhu family's private soldiers who were suddenly attacked.
Almost all of the elite troops that Fang La personally led into the camp were wearing armor. It was precisely because of this that they were able to easily break through the defense of the smuggling fleet camp.
Just after Fang La led his elite troops into the camp, Fang La took the lead and killed two of the opponent's armored leaders, defeating the opponent's last remaining courage to resist.
Finally, the more than two thousand sailors and private soldiers gathered here were dispersed in time.
Fang La looked at the dock ahead, where a group of sailors were being escorted slowly towards this side.
Beside the camp, at this moment, there were already more than a thousand sailors and the private soldiers of the Zhu family. They had either been captured or had already prostrated themselves on the ground and asked to surrender.
"Fang Dutou is very capable and calculating. Of those smuggling fleets, only one boat escaped, and two more were injured and damaged.
The rest of the Zhu family's smuggling fleet were all left on the dock. This battle also captured so many remnants of the Zhu family, which can be regarded as a great achievement. "
At this moment, Zhang Yasi, who was walking quickly, couldn't help but raise his thumbs in admiration at Fang La, who was a brave and strategic warrior.
"Zhang Yasi Miao praised it. Speaking of which, the governor was far-sighted and arranged everything well."
"I also asked Commander Li to send me a large amount of ordnance, as well as this kind of armor..."
Fang La patted his chest, making the armor clank, and then continued.
"Otherwise, just trying to break into the camp at Wild Pier, we don't know how many brothers will die in battle."
"Yes... Our champion is not only astounding in literary talent, but also in military strategy. He can also make many military officials in the court look at him with admiration..."
Even though Gao Zhang was not here, Zhang Yasi still couldn't help but praise this champion who had no plans left.
"Liu Fei, Liu Fei..."
Following Fang La's loud roar, Fang Fei, whose face was glowing red and almost feeling windy when he walked, quickly came over in a short time.
"Fang Fei, you take half of the troops and guard the prisoners of war here and clean the battlefield."
"Brother has just experienced a war, and the brothers haven't had a good rest yet. What do you want to do?"
"What else can we do?" Fang La sniffed and raised his head to look at the sun that was rising higher and higher.
"When the brothers have had breakfast and rested until noon, we will set off to the north. The mission entrusted to my brother by the governor is not just to capture the wild dock at the foot of Jinniu Mountain..."
Of course, the task entrusted to Fang La by Gao Zhang was not complicated, after seizing the Zhu family's smuggling fleet. If you still have some energy left, rush to Xiuzhou as soon as possible.
If there is an opportunity, he will lead his army towards Jiaxing City, the capital of Xiuzhou Prefecture, to restrain Xiuzhou's soldiers and horses, so that Xiuzhou's soldiers and horses do not dare to move rashly.
In this way, it would be convenient for the commander of the Hangzhou Horse Infantry Army to lead his army into Suzhou and reduce resistance.
There is no need to worry about Xiuzhou's state soldiers, who have long been controlled by the Zhu family, threatening the flanks.
What Fang La wanted in his heart was not just to invade Jiaxing City, he even thought that if possible, he would simply take down Jiaxing City, which had been run by the Zhu family's followers for a long time.
Fighting for wealth, if you don’t take risks, how can you get wealth?
Fang Fei naturally realized what his strategic cousin was planning.
He immediately nodded and accepted the order and walked away quickly.
As a detective from the Imperial City Department, Zhang Yasi was only responsible for supervision. It was not up to him to decide whether Fang La wanted to take a stroll around Xiuzhou or whether he wanted to attack the city and seize territory.
After all, this long-legged girl with Fang Dutou is right next to Duke Zhuangyuan, and she might get the pillow wind anytime soon, but she can't afford to offend her.
