Chapter 161: Inside and Outside of Yangzhou

Prince De is here!

Camp outside the east gate.

Two days ago, when a huge army appeared outside the East City and set up camp there, the whole Yangzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how the outside world spreads how bloodthirsty Prince De was, how cruel he was.

But for the gentry and people in Yangzhou, no matter how cruel he was, he had never heard of him massacre the city. But the Eastern Captains were different. Since the invasion, they have slaughtered more than one or two cities!

Since the battle between the Eastern Territory and the people of Yangzhou have been frightened all day long.

Now that I have the Prince of De here, there is no need to worry anymore!

As long as Prince De is here, Jiannu will definitely not dare to offend Yangzhou. Then Yangzhou will naturally not be devastated!

So, they who consciously escaped the disaster were naturally grateful to Prince De. In fact, for the people of Yangzhou City, Prince De Zhu Ciying not only had "life-saving grace" for them, but also "stars". After all, from the beginning of the year to the present, Prince De has long become a storytelling material in Yangzhou restaurants and teahouses.

It was not only popular in the late Ming Dynasty, but also in the storytelling, but most of them were blind people. The maid houses established by local prefectures also taught blind children some ways to make a living, and the storytelling is one of them.

These storytellers talk about old books such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" in restaurants and teahouses, and also talk about some of the newly popular ones and make some money in life. Because most tea lovers have long been tired of old books such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin", and even "Four Travels" such as "Journey to the West" and "Journey to the East" (1) have no newness.

If a storyteller wants to make money, he must promote new things. Old books will definitely not be able to make money. So how can he be unique among storytellers and take the lead?

Of course, I just take advantage of the popularity and make a fortune by the advantage of fresh popularity.

So in the mouth of the storyteller, the words "The God of Fire Burned Ji County and defeated 100,000 Jiannu", "The Prince of the Crown Prince Guards Ji County", and "The God of Fire Fights Laojun" were freshly released from the mouth of the storyteller.

Although these words are rough and mostly nonsense, the storytellers found that people were extremely enthusiastic about the "Stories of the Prince" who were like immortals, devils, and naturally they were happy to tell such stories.

Storytellers love to speak, and people love to listen.

For a time, Prince De or the God of Fire became a well-known figure in Yangzhou and other places, and his number of fans in Jiangbei cities such as Yangzhou was even more amazing. After all, there were many half immortals in it, but only this one had killed Jiannu for the people and protected his home.

In the past, the people just heard the story of the scholar saying "The prince led the sky fire to extinguish the Eastern Demons, and eliminated the evil immortals and defended the country." Now the Donglu saw that he had left Nanzhili, but such immortal figures came to protect Yangzhou. How could these people who consciously escaped the disaster not be excited?

This is true for the people. Even the salt merchants who were always above the top and looked down on the royal family enthusiastically welcomed the arrival of this Prince De. After all, compared to the people, they care more about their own wealth and life.

As for what he is bloodthirsty.

What's the matter? He's so good at killing people. The Donglu is afraid of him and dare not provoke him. He dares not come to attack Yangzhou.

As for killing people on excuses of money and food!

I don’t know where else, but in Yangzhou, the salt merchants have money!

If he has enough money and food, can he still kill people?

Not only do you have to give him enough money and food, but you also have to try every means to curry favor with him. Even if the prince despicable Mingge is locked up in the high walls of Zhongdu, he will have to serve them all. As long as he is in Yangzhou for one day, the Donglu will definitely not dare to invade him!

money!

Our salt merchants have some money!

Before Prince De could even come, the salt merchants in Yangzhou who were originally planning their family and were about to escape to Jiangnan started to arrange them!

...

At noon, a passenger ship from Songjiang was moored on the pier in Yangzhou. After the river ship, which was more than ten meters long and two meters wide, was moored at the pier, the servant on the boat came to the cabin and informed him.

"Callant, the boat arrived at Yangzhou City. Dear guests are really good at picking places. As soon as they approached the dock, they heard from the people on the dock that Prince De led 30,000 troops to Yangzhou three days ago. With his family members, those Eastern Captains would never dare to attack Yangzhou."

"Prince De!"

There was a sound from the cabin surprised, and then someone said again.

"But the Prince of Defan in Jinan?"

"But the Prince De who killed more than 10,000 deserters?"

"It's just him, guest official. If it weren't for the fact that something happened on the boat, let's go over and see if it's a little bit of fairy spirit!"

"Immortal energy? Can Prince De really be a god?"

"Immortal energy, that man is full of murderous aura. I believe that he is the first among the Ming Dynasty royal family to kill officials and soldiers!"

"That's not. I heard that he is fierce and evil. He must drink human blood and eat human liver every time..."

...

For a time, there were many different opinions in the cabin.

"As long as it happened, then go and take a look!"

A moment later, the curtain of the cabin door was lifted, and a scholar in white robe walked out of the cabin, and then another maid dressed in dark green clothes came out of the cabin. The cold wind blew the two of them, like a pair of fairy couples.

The maid who followed the scholar was combed in a pair of unmarried buns, and her eyes looked at the dock in the distance and said in surprise.

"Young Master, the docks over there are really lively! Don't people look down on the royal family?"

The green-shirt maid was puzzled.

"Don't everyone say that he likes to eat human liver and drink human blood?"

"It's just a rumor. It's just that Prince De's killing is very powerful and is afraid of others. But Prince De's killing more than 10,000 people. If my Ming Dynasty royal family was like him, why worry about the unstable world? Why worry about Liaodong being lost? How could there be any danger of the Eastern Captains entering Jiangnan now..."

While speaking, the scholar in white robe shook his head and sighed softly.

"It's a pity that he is a royal family..."

The scholar in the white robe holding a folding fan in his hand, gently hit the palm of his hand with a folding fan, and then said.

"However, with him stationed in Yangzhou, I believe that the most stable place in Jiangbei is here, and the people of Yangzhou are also blessed. At least with him here, the Donglu would never dare to invade easily. Nearly one million people inside and outside Yangzhou would naturally be safe."

Just as the two of them stepped on the springboard, a servant came over and said to the dock.

"This young man is from Songjiang. My young man has a small life here to greet you. He will not be able to leave for a moment. Please forgive me!"

When the scholar in white robe heard this, he said to the man.

"Young Master Zheng is polite."

After saying that, the two of them got on two sedan chairs under the guidance of the servant...
