There were guns and cannons outside, and the lobby of the censor's yamen was chatting enthusiastically. Gu Zhenhua also sat with these merchants and civilians who came to complain.

"In the past, our Chinese always boasted of the great power of the Celestial Kingdom, believing that it was the best in the world, and was surrounded by barbarians. But now Western barbarians have crossed the ocean and came to our land. They brought in silver for our ships to exchange for our silk porcelain. In this way, do you think they are still barbarians?"

"No, not at all!" Gu Zhenhua said with a fist: "On the contrary, they are rich and have a lot of gold and silver, which are exactly what we need. Following the old path of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, around the land, we will never be rich, and sooner or later we will be caught up by those barbarians."

Some well-informed businessmen nodded frequently when they heard Gu Zhenhua's words.

"Mr., what are you saying is right, but what should we do?"

"It's very simple. Both rural and commercial enterprises are based on them, and industry is established. The court in the future should protect merchants, encourage industry, and let you go out to make more money, and even grab more fertile land overseas. Why are there bandits? The reason is very simple, is it annexation? In the past dynasties, all dynasties have wanted to curb annexation. But don't forget that there are more and more household registrations in the world. Even if the gentry and merchants spit out all the land, the problem cannot be solved. Only by expanding outward and robbing more land can we meet the needs."

Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "Maybe everyone doesn't understand what's going on at the moment, but I hope everyone understands one thing. My name is not about eliminating gentry and merchants. On the contrary, I want to protect gentry and merchants and make you richer. I want to make the people of the Ming Dynasty live a better life!"

Pa, pa, pa...

The applause gradually became stronger. The more than a hundred people were all staring brightly. This prince was indeed different from the ordinary official master. Everything he said reached his heart. How could he listen and make sense!

At this moment, a rumbled war drum suddenly sounded outside.

Gu Zhenhua raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "Everyone wait a little first, the sky in Huguang will change soon!"

Gu Zhenhua walked out of the lobby quickly. Kang Dali brought the war horse over.

"Dude, Commander Xie and Commander Yuan both came in with their men. Zuo Menggeng and the others are finished!"

"A bunch of native chickens and tiles. Not worth mentioning. If you send an order, you will kill anyone who encounters riots and harms the people. You will never be ruthless!"

"Affect the order."

Gu Zhenhua left the yamen surrounded by his close friends. At this time, Zhou Yingjie was commanding the troops to launch a counterattack. Lu Guangzu and Li Guoying attacked An** separately. These two generals used all their energy, but they could not do anything to An**, and even lost a loss of troops!

In fact, it is not their fault. The army in Huguang was far behind, and its only advantage was the number of people. However, in street fighting, the number of people was suppressed again. Under the care of Gu Zhenhua, An**'s training in street fighting was absolutely ahead of the times.

The soldiers used the ruins of the house as cover to give full play to the advantage of the range of the muskets and attacked the opponent calmly. The corpses on the ground were piled up into mountains, but they just couldn't bite this hard bone!

Lu Guangzu had already sent all the five hundred clans under his command, but more than 200 people were killed. The rest of them rushed forward without saying anything.

It was raining all night long. At this time, the war outside the city was hot. Xie Bin and his men swept Zhang Yingxiang and rushed into the city.

After receiving the report, Lu Guangzu knew very well that victory had completely gone away and the most urgent task was to save his life. Therefore, he and his remaining servants quietly retreated.

The main general was gone, and the men under his command became even more panicked. One ran and two ran, and it was like an avalanche, and these people were quickly defeated.

An**'s opponent from the beginning was the Tartars and the Guanning Army. After seeing these powerful soldiers, he was a little uncomfortable with these garbage.

Zhou Yingjie couldn't help but curse, "What a thing? Such a few people just died, I can't stand it anymore. I haven't been satisfied with killing it yet! Listen, everyone, chase me, don't let them go!"

The soldiers also felt a sense of resentment in their stomachs. After receiving the order, they all screamed. In the direction of the main entrance, Xiong Xin and the others rushed to the front.

"Don't think of running away!" Xiong Xin caught up with a leader in a few steps. The other party had been scared to death. His men were already charging forward, and all the casualties were killed and injured. In his eyes, An** was a group of deadly kings of hell.

He was running for the death to escape. Xiong Xin stepped a few steadily, and raised the triangular thorn high, and with a strong blow, it just hit the guy's back. Suddenly, a blood arrow shot out, and the body fell to the ground, twitched for a while, and then lost his life.

"Follow me to chase them, don't let them go!"

The dozen enemy troops in front were chased to the point of desperate situation and could only turn their heads. The guys gritted their teeth and said breathlessly: "Everyone is eating food and joining the army. Why don't you refuse to let go? Don't forget to jump over the wall!"

They were so scared that they couldn't even use the words. Xiong Xin sneered: "If you have the ability, just jump over the wall. If you don't have the ability, keep your life!"

Xiong Xin said, and stabbed the bayonet with a bayonet. The other party jumped away almost and waved his hand to give Xiong Xin a knife. According to common sense, Xiong Xin should take back the bayonet and defend, but he did not do so, but stabbed the bayonet again. This knife became more ruthless and faster!

"Boy, you're desperate!" the other party screamed in fear.

He could not hide at first sight, but fortunately he died together. He gritted his teeth and slashed at Xiong Xin. But just when his knife was more than one foot away from Xiong Xin, a triangular thorn suddenly appeared in front of him.

clang!

The knife was shaken and sparks were spreading. The triangular thorn in Xiong Xin's hand had pierced into the other party's chest.

"Idiot, do you think I will fight you for the best? Brothers, come together!"

An**'s powerful cooperation ability was fully utilized. Although the other party had many people and had rich fighting experience, it was useless. In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiong Xin and the others had already had more than a dozen corpses in front of him.

They were covered in blood, and their triangular thorns were hung on them. They were like little ghosts crawling out of hell. When they rushed forward, the other party did not dare to fight at all. They either ran away or knelt down and asked to surrender.

At Qianmen, the only one is unstoppable, and the same is true behind him. Li Guoying was even more miserable by the grenadiers. He lost all his elite troops. He didn't care about the pain on his body and could only lay on the horse's back and ran away desperately.

But just as he was running forward, the war horse suddenly burst into tears and fell to the ground. It turned out that the war horse was shot on the butt and was beaten to the bloody and bloody state.

Li Guoying fell heavily to the ground. He struggled to get up, but one leg and one wrist was injured, which was particularly difficult.

"Bastard, you all come to support me. Without me, don't think about it!"

He screamed heart-wrenchingly, and finally a few servants came over to save him. But a few An** rushed out not far away, and the muskets rang out, and the soldiers who rushed in the front fell off the war horse. When the rest saw it, they all changed color!

This is not a joke, it’s time to do this. Who would still be willing to exchange his life for Li Guoying?

"You stay here, let's go first!"

They fled one after another. Li Guoying was so angry that he cursed all the bad words, but there was no way. He could only use both hands and feet, and rolled and crawled into the alley.

But Luo Xiaoyu and the others had already rushed to the back of him. Luo Xiaoyu kicked Li Guoying and kicked him in the back of the back. The guy uttered a roar, fell to the ground, and became An**'s captive.

On the other hand, Yuan Zongdi and Li Wanqing took Zuo Menggeng with their men. They rushed to the periphery of the Censorate's Office excitedly, and they happened to collide with Gu Zhenhua.

"Mr. I am humble and fulfilled my mission. I have captured Zuo Menggeng!"

Gu Zhenhua hurriedly glanced at him and saw a few soldiers pushing and shoving a young man in front of him. His helmet was gone, his armor was scattered, his head was unkempt, and his shoulders were still bleeding. He was so embarrassed that he had no style of a young man.

"Hahaha, Zuo Menggeng, you have become a prisoner of my master, what do you feel?"

"Gu Zhenhua, you are despicable!" Zuo Menggeng said bluntly: "From the beginning, you sold weapons to Huguang, that businessman was sent by you to instigate us to fight in the internal struggle, and then you can reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

"You are not too stupid yet. Now I finally figured it out. But I will tell you that you, your father and son have been doing evil for many years, and this is called full of evil deeds, and it is time to settle the matter!"

Gu Zhenhua looked around and sneered: "Tak Zuo Menggeng to the military camp and prepare for public trial!"

"Gu Zhenhua, you can't treat me like this. I am Duke of E and was granted by the court. You don't have this power!"

Zuo Menggeng was still shouting that someone had already taken a piece of black rag and didn't know what it was for, so he stuffed it directly into his mouth.

At this time, Li Wanqing hurried to Gu Zhenhua and knelt down and kowtowed.

"The villain mistakenly followed Zuo's father and son, and he was very guilty. He also asked the Duke of the State to atone for his sins!"

"General Li, get up. As the saying goes, it's not too late for a prodigal son to turn back. You have caught the last chance!" Gu Zhenhua said: "Listen, immediately control the whole city and arrest all the defeated soldiers for me, especially those generals, try to capture them alive. They must be responsible for their malice!"

When Li Wanqing heard Gu Zhenhua's words, his heart trembled. It seemed that he was lucky to escape the disaster. When he thought about the methods of the Duke of Ji, what would happen to those who fell into his hands? It was simply unimaginable!

Zuo Menggeng was caught, and the battle in the city was over. An** was prominent on all sides, mainly to catch people. There were too many prisoners, so they could only be temporarily taken to the open space outside the city, which was so dark that it could not be seen at first sight.

Zuo Liangyu has not done much good things in recent years, but many people have collected them. However, Zuo Menggeng later surrendered to the Tartars with 200,000 soldiers, and all became the vanguard and lackey of the Tartars.

Now that Huguang's warlord group has been eradicated, it has reduced another disaster to the land of China!

The battle lasted almost half a day, and the defeated soldiers were collected and the prisoners were captured, and the whole night was busy. Among the 300,000 people, the battle with Wang Yuncheng lost 20,000 to 30,000. After deducting the 60,000 to 70,000 people who surrendered to Ma Jinzhong, Li Wanqing, Jin Shenghuan and others, Zuo Menggeng still had at least fifteen people in his hands.

After a chaotic battle, An** killed at least 10,000 or 20,000 prisoners, captured more than 100,000, and another 30,000 to 40,000 people fled.

He couldn't cover the sky with his hands. After all, An** only had five groups. It was already quite good to catch so many people, but Gu Zhenhua was not satisfied.

"Listen to everyone, these riots are potential bandits, bandits, or even traitors! You must not tolerate traitors to them. You can arrange people immediately and chase me separately. You must destroy them to the greatest extent."

"Dude, you see, we don't have enough manpower. Can we offer rewards from all over the country and let them come forward to help arrest him!" Wu Kaijie suggested.

Gu Zhenhua nodded without hesitation: "Yes, you can make arrangements immediately."

At this moment, Ma Jinzhong and Jin Shengheng rushed over, and behind them was a middle-aged general.

"Dude, this is the navy general Deng Wenhuan. He is the fourth-generation grandson of Deng Zilong and Deng. He has a family background and is familiar with water warfare!"

When Gu Zhenhua heard this, he hurriedly laughed and said, "I have heard of the loyalty and martyrs of his ancestors. When he went to Korea to fight against the Japanese, General Deng died in the battlefield. It is tragic. When the Japanese pirates cut off Lord Deng's head, I have already told Shen Tingyang that he would pay attention to the situation in Japan. As long as he found the whereabouts of the head, he would act immediately, whether it was sending troops or spending money, in short, he would make the body of Mr. Deng complete!"

When Deng Wenhuan heard this, he knelt on the ground and burst into tears. This tough guy cried like a child. Deng Zilong is the god of their future generations! As soon as Gu Zhenhua opened his mouth, he said this, and Deng Wenhuan was suddenly felt.

"Duke Ji, it's been so many years since the imperial court did not think about returning the heads of his ancestors. My descendants of the Deng family have forgotten this matter, but you can take it to heart. The humble position represents the Deng family. Thank you for your great kindness!"

Bang bang bang bang!

Deng Wenhuan kowtowed straight. Ma Jinzhong and Jin Shenghuan, who were beside him, also nodded secretly. They both spent a lot of spit to convince Deng Wenhuan. However, Deng Wenhuan was honest and did not like An**. They were afraid that this guy would cause trouble. But Gu Zhenhua's words moved him to this point. This person is incomparable to humans!

"General Deng, get up first. Since you are still leading the navy to get back the head of Mr. Deng, it should fall on your shoulders. Be a good man who is rampant and show his power overseas!"

"Thank you, Duke!" Deng Wenhuan wiped his tears and said loudly: "The 18,350 brothers in the Navy camp all obey the orders of Duke!"

For three consecutive days, all the people came back one after another, and the quietness in Wuchang City gradually returned to its original state, and the blood on the streets was cleaned up.

The trembling people came to the streets, but what awaited them was a notice.

"Listen to everyone, Zuo's father and son have been in trouble for many years, and their troops have done all their evil deeds. Duke Ji decided to conduct a public trial and judgment on them. Just on the edge of the Yangtze River, you have to cut your head. Everyone, go and see!" (To be continued...)
