After entering the city, Zhang Sancha led a group of troops and went straight to the governor's Yamen.
Even when he passed by the main town office in the city, he didn't go in to take a look. After all, Yang Guozhu had been captured and made a prisoner, and the only person in charge in the city was the governor.
The most important thing is to catch Li Guangyi, the governor of Datong.
"Come in with a group of people and follow me in. The others will surround the place. No one can escape." When they arrived at the governor's office, Zhang Sancha led a group of soldiers in.
Arriving at the yamen lobby, the scene in front of me was a mess, and not a single yamen servant was seen.
"Disperse the search and capture Datong Governor Li Guangyi and bring him over immediately." Zhang Sancha ordered his soldiers to search the governor's office.
Several different teams of soldiers went to different places.
Zhang Sancha led a small team through the lobby and went straight to the backyard.
After searching several yards, no one was found in the end, but many of the furnishings in the house were neat, which proved that the people here left in a hurry and did not have time to take away many things.
"Deputy Commander, my subordinates discovered this." A soldier ran over, holding a large seal in his hand.
Zhang Sancha took it in his hand, turned it over and looked at the bottom, and found that the large seal was the official seal of the governor.
"Deputy Division Chief, my subordinates captured a policeman at a remote stable." Another soldier came over escorting an old man in linen clothes.
Zhang Sancha handed the official seal to the man next to him, took two steps forward, stared at the old man, and asked: "Where did Li Guangyi, the governor of Datong, go?"
"Hero, spare your life, hero, spare your life. The old man is just a horse feeder. He doesn't know anything." The old man knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Zhang Sancha to beg for mercy.
The soldier who escorted the old man over said in a stiff tone: "Our deputy division is asking you where the governor has been? As long as you answer honestly, you will naturally be spared."
"I really don't know." The old man said with a tearful voice. "I only know that not long ago, someone from the government went to the stable to take away all the horses. As for where they went, I I really don’t know anything.”
The soldier looked at Zhang Sancha and said, "The governor of Datong probably escaped on horseback. Deputy Shizheng, do you want your subordinates to lead someone to chase him?"
"Forget it, no need to chase." Zhang Sancha waved his hand and said immediately, "Take a few people and go find all the useful documents in the yamen. I will leave you a team of people to guard here, waiting for us. people to receive it.”
"Yes." The soldier agreed.
After failing to capture Li Guangyi alive, there was no point in continuing to stay in the governor's Yamen, so Zhang Sancha prepared to leave with his people.
"I've told you everything I know. Can the heroes let me go?" The old man kneeling on the ground looked at Zhang Sancha who was about to leave.
He knew that Zhang Sancha was the leader of the bandits in front of him.
Zhang Sancha retracted his outgoing leg, glanced at the old man kneeling on the ground, and said, "Check his identity and let him go if there is no problem."
After saying that, he left without turning his head.
After leaving the Yamen, Zhang Sancha turned over and mounted his horse.
Several cavalrymen who were guarding him also mounted their horses, and the soldiers who followed him out of the yamen lined up in the open space in front of the yamen.
"Deputy Commander, where are we going?" The captain of the soldiers ran over and asked Zhang Sancha.
Zhang Sancha pointed to the east with his hand and said: "I'll show you Prince Dai's Mansion. I heard it looks like the palace of Yingtian Mansion. I'll open your eyes today, come on!"
He knocked the horse's belly with both feet and urged the horse to run out.
"Let's go and see the palace!" The soldier captain waved to the other soldiers and took the lead in running after the horse.
When they heard that they were going to see the palace, every soldier had a look of excitement on his face.
They all came from mud-legged backgrounds. Almost none of them had been to the capital or Yingtian Mansion and had no idea what the palace looked like. Now that they had entered Datong City, they finally had the opportunity to see with their own eyes what the palace looked like.
After passing through Kuixing Tower, Zhang Sancha led the team to the outside of Prince Dai's Mansion.
When he arrived, there was already a troop of soldiers blocking all the exits of Prince Dai's Mansion.
"Do you know what a wealthy family is? This guy is called a wealthy family." Zhang Sancha pointed at Yumen in front of him and said.
When he turned around, he found that many of the soldiers he had brought were curiously looking at the Nine Dragon Wall opposite Yumen.
For many people, it was their first time to see such a large screen wall, and some couldn't help but touch the glazed flying dragon on it.
"Look at you bunch of losers. I've seen them all in the Khan's Palace on the grassland. You've become so virtuous just by breaking the screen wall." Zhang Sancha curled his lips.
At this moment, a tiger-shaped flag general from outside Prince Dai's Mansion ran over, stood in front of Zhang's three-chambered horse, raised his right arm in a salute, and shouted: "Deputy Master is at attention."
"The Prince Dai's Mansion has not been captured yet?" Zhang Sancha glanced at the Prince Dai's Mansion with the palace door closed.
The Prince Dai's Mansion in front of him is completely an inner city. It also has gates and towers, but they are still much worse than those in Datong City.
General Zhang Hongtu said: "There is a group of soldiers and horses in the Prince Dai's palace who refuse to surrender. His subordinates have sent people to fire cannons outside the city. When the cannons are delivered, they will blast open the city gate with cannons."
"It's fine to open the city gate with cannons, but don't destroy anything inside Prince Dai's Mansion. Maybe our proprietor will live here in the future." Zhang Sancha said, looking at Prince Dai's Mansion.
Zhang Hongtu said: "Deputy Master, please rest assured that my subordinates will take good care of every plant and tree in Dai Wang's Mansion."
"It's good to understand. I just happened to bring my troops here and leave them all to your command. I will storm into the Prince Dai's Mansion later and capture the Prince Zhu Naijun alive." Zhang Sancha said.
"Yes." Zhang Hongtu responded loudly.
Zhang Sancha urged his horse forward and made progress. He looked up at the figures swinging on the top of the city opposite and said, "Do you know who these soldiers and horses in Prince Dai's Mansion are?"
"It's not clear yet," Zhang Hongtu said. "My subordinates suspect that the soldiers and horses guarding the city may be a garrison of Datong City and took advantage of the chaos to escape into the Prince Dai's Mansion."
"Did you persuade him to surrender?" Zhang Sancha asked.
Zhang Hongtu said: "We have already tried to persuade them to surrender, but the defenders inside are determined and will not open the city gate to accept surrender."
"I think too highly of them. No one with a strong will will lose Datong City so quickly." Zhang Sancha curled his lips in disdain and said, "I'm afraid it was the money that was used by the Prince's Palace to make these people willingly sacrifice their lives."
Zhang Hongtu sighed and said, "It's all our Tiger Flag's money, which gives these people a free advantage."
"Why don't you take over Prince Dai's Mansion? You should treat everything inside as your own." Zhang Sancha rolled his eyes.
Zhang Hongtu chuckled and said: "Sooner or later, the small Prince Dai's Palace will not be able to stop our Tiger Flag's army."
