National Luck: Angry Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 123: Just around the corner

Chen Hao and Zhou Haoyu, who had already made up their minds to die, were reluctant to die at this time, because for Confucian scholars, a place where officials and gentry pay for food together, and the emperor completely handed over the government affairs to his courtiers was too attractive to him .

Although these people no longer consider themselves the people of Great Qin, the Qin State has been in the same line since ancient times, and the dynasties have been changing endlessly for thousands of years. Although they shouted long live, everyone knew that it was just wishful thinking.

After the meal, Zhu Tao also made it clear with the leaders of the refugee army that those who are willing to take refuge are welcome, and the private property alliance of the refugee army is not accepted.

But those who don't want to take refuge are also resolutely not allowed to kill in vain, otherwise the only way to go is to be wiped out.

And he also told a group of leaders of the refugee army that it would be impossible to return to Shaanxi to continue looting, because at this time the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou had been surrounded in Dashan Pass, and his defeat was just around the corner.

When Hong Chengchou went to rescue Hanzhong, he left Du Wenhuan, the commander-in-chief of Ancheng County, because he needed to lead troops to block the line of the Yellow River, in case the bandits who had finally been driven to Fujian returned to Shaanxi to make trouble.

He galloped all the way back to Xi'an with 5000 troops from his governor's army and [-] troops from Shanxi General Soldier Wang Chengen.

After merging the [-] troops of Li Yingqi's patrol in Shaanxi, he ordered He Huchen, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, to lead the elite soldiers of Ningxia to wait in Baoji to join the army.

There are three routes to enter Hanzhong from the north, the closest is to take the Ziwu Valley, which is the route that Zhuge Liang took when Wei Yan ordered Wei Yan to attack Cao Wei.

This valley road was formed by the erosion of meridian water, and the terrain is extremely dangerous. Only a small group of elite soldiers can be stationed to prevent the passage of large troops, so Hong Chengchou abandoned it.

The second is to enter Hanzhong from the Chencang ancient plank road through Wuzhangyuan. The situation here is similar to Ziwu Valley. Both sides of the plank road are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they were also abandoned.

Hong Chengchou chose to go from Baoji to Dasanguan, then passed through Fengxian County, Liuba, and headed for Hanzhong along Baoshui.

But he never expected that he would be surrounded by the Shaanxi Army led by Wang Dong at Dasan Pass.

The Qin army was ordered to break through the siege, but it was completely defeated in less than a quarter of an hour, and Wang Chengen, the general soldier of Shaanxi, died in battle.

He Huchen, the commander-in-chief of Ningxia, fled in fright. According to the rout soldiers who fled back, the Ningxia army was also wiped out, and the commander-in-chief He Huchen was captured alive.

Dasan Pass is a pass city. Because of the dangerous terrain and the small scale of the city, there is usually a guerrilla battalion stationed there.

Because it is a military city purely for defense, there are not many merchants and shops in it. The small city that could have stationed a maximum of [-] soldiers and horses has now crammed in a total of more than [-] people.

Hong Chengchou and Li Yingqi brought 2000 soldiers and horses, plus [-] people stationed in the guerrilla battalion, and some defeated soldiers who fled back.

Fortunately, Hong Chengchou had already ordered the Chief Envoy of Shaanxi Province to collect some grain and fodder and transport it to Dasanguan, otherwise the soldiers and horses would have dispersed on their own.

On the morning of the third day when he was completely surrounded, his family member came to report that there was a man outside the closed gate who claimed to be Nan'an Zheng Yiguan asking to see him.

Hong Chengchou doesn't know who Zheng Yiguan is, but his hometown is in Nan'an, Fujian.

Nan'an County is under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture. Hong Chengchou has never returned to his hometown since he became a Jinshi in high school.

He first served in the Ministry of Punishment, and after six years, he was transferred to Zhejiang as a fifth-rank doctor, and was promoted to a third-rank Zuo counsellor in Zhejiang.

It was not until the seventh year of Tianqi that he left Jiangnan to serve as the grain governor in Shaanxi. It can be said that since the second year of Tianqi, he has a better understanding of the situation in his hometown Fujian, especially Quanzhou.

And Zhu Tao led the people to make a fortune almost from the second year of the apocalypse, and it was not until the sixth year of the apocalypse that he began to exert force on Daqin.

During this period, Hong Chengchou was very clear about the changes in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, especially Zhejiang, because as a Nan'an native, he was originally the object of the alliance's attention.

The only ones who can contact him are Xu Xinsu or the gentry in Quanzhou Mansion. He has already heard about Taiwan, even the Qin League, and Zhu Tao.

But in his opinion, it was just a loose organization formed by the hometown gentry and a group of old pirates for maritime trade.

Hong Chengchou from Nan'an is naturally aware of Li Dan's prestige at sea in Quanzhou, and he also knows that many gentry in Zhangquan and Quanzhou rely on Li Dan to go to sea to make a fortune.

Hong Chengchou's family was poor when he was young, and his father died early. After he became a Jinshi, his neighbors also donated a lot of land.

Since Zhu Tao established the Qin State Alliance, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong have changed again. After all, they are close to each other. Although the four places except Jiangxi have a lot of cultivated land, most of the rest are places with more mountains and less land.

Can't stand the rich tea, silk, ceramics and other things in Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When Hong Chengchou was a scholar in Zhejiang, the clan also took advantage of this to purchase silk and tea in Zhejiang.

However, in just a few years, the Hong family in Nan'an is now more or less wealthy, especially Hong Chengchou has been promoted rapidly since last year because of his meritorious service in suppressing thieves, and now he is one of the few big members in the world.

He didn't understand why a township party from his hometown could come to Dashan Pass at this time, and he didn't know why the people came, but since it was Nan'an Township Party, at this time, he would meet him.

"Heng Jiugong, Zheng Zhilong in Xianan'an, his name is Feihuang, and his nickname is Yiguan. I may not know my name, Heng Jiugong, but my uncle Huang Cheng, I don't know if you have heard of it?"

Zheng Zhilong is 28 years old this year, and Hong Chengchou is 39 years old, but Qin has a custom since ancient times that anyone who seals off one side of the border can be called a "gong" regardless of age.

Hong Chengchou's name is Yanyan, and his nickname is Hengjiu, and his nickname is for people who consider themselves to be lower than him. If he is at the same level or a superior, he will still use words to address him.

"Oh, it turned out to be the nephew of my benefactor, Mr. Huang. I'm so rude!"

Since ancient times in the state of Qin, all wealthy families with savings like to build bridges and roads in their villages, or donate money to schools in the local area.

In addition to gaining a good reputation in the village, he also seeks favors in the future.

Therefore, public schools or well-known private schools have never lacked school funding, especially schools taught by famous teachers, donations are even more expensive.

Entering school in this era is not as good as later generations. As long as you win the exam, you will immediately be equivalent to an official backup, let alone a Jinshi. Unless you resign firmly, you will be at least a seventh-rank official position.

And the student aid at this time is also different from later generations. Once the money is donated, the school will hardly tell what it is used for. But at this time, regardless of public or private schools, most of the donations received will be directly used for students.

In particular public schools, in addition to erecting monuments and book titles for donors, when distributing money and food, they will also explain to the students who the money and food donors are this time.

Zheng Zhilong's uncle, Huang Cheng, traded with Portuguese people in Haojing. Although he was not considered a wealthy businessman, he had a lot of money.
