Chapter 588: Bauhinia Pass

Of course, if this is the case, the Han family and his party may not be able to get here safely, and now the road is becoming more and more unpeaceful, and when they go out, they are passing through some villages and the like, and they must also be careful of those villagers, who suddenly turn into bandits. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Small chaos to avoid the city, big chaos to avoid the township, can build villages and towns, now basically all over the strong local tyrants, gentry and big clans, with a deep heritage, strong arms, if these people are targeted, and there are evil intentions, often pass by, leaving only a corpse.

"Thanks to Shopkeeper Sun."

Han's father was less than fifty, his temples were slightly white, his tall body, his eyes were full of wisdom and vicissitudes, and what he looked at was a slightly fat businessman in a line of vehicles not far away, surnamed Sun Is, but it was a businessman surnamed Sun who funded Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen in Weihui Mansion that day.

When he went north, he met the Han family and his party, and during the conversation, he learned that the Han family had a child who joined the army on the East Road of Xuanfu Town, and he was regarded as a family member of the military, and he had the obligation to protect.

Han Kaihui, a merchant surnamed Sun, knew that after all, he was going to marry the daughter of the Jingshi Fu Mansion, and the matter spread very much.

Han Kaihui is already a team officer, and he was also awarded the rank of captain, in the Jingbian Army, he is not an ordinary person, he is the righteous brother of Zhong Xiancai, the general of the East Road Town, and he is the object of attention of many well-intentioned people, and the businessman surnamed Sun is naturally no exception.

Under his protection, the Han family and his entourage were able to come here safe and sound, and also protected the hundreds of displaced people and victims who went to the East Road around them.

His caravan hired dozens of Donglu dart masters, all of whom were equipped with Donglu bird guns and had excellent Qi knives, and there were bandits or homeless people who wanted to rob their line, and a row of bird guns hit them. In a panic, he ran away in a moment.

"Outside of Han Yuan, I passed Yishui. It will soon be possible to reach Yizhou, and then more than 100 miles from Bauhinia Pass, you can reach the place controlled by Xuanfu Town, then it will be safe. ”

Looking at the easy water ahead. Merchant Sun came over and said to Father Han.

"Thank you Shopkeeper Sun, thank you for coming all the way and taking care of you. Han was grateful. ”

"The Korean members are polite, just a gesture."

When crossing Yishui, there is a pontoon bridge on it, and in crossing the bridge, there are quite a lot of displaced people along the way, most of whom are ready to arrive at the city of Yizhou, and then enter the Bauhinia Pass in the west. Enter East Road.

At this time, the traffic was blocked, and the long-distance trek was also dangerous, but outside the mountains, near Xuanfu Town, there were all kinds of legends. It has also spread to some nearby states and counties, where there is enough food and clothing, and a stable life.

More importantly, the hundreds of thousands of captives rescued by Wang Dou back then, many of them were from Baoding Mansion and Zhending Mansion, and after they settled down on the East Road and outside the Saiwai, they couldn't help but feel homesick, of course, not wanting to go back, but similar to a kind of thinking of glorifying their ancestors.

When they went back, they had a large bag and a small bag, and seeing their red faces would inevitably cause a sensation in the neighborhood.

One to ten, ten to hundred, plus it is a folks who know the roots, and since then, Baoding, Zhending two mansions, there are constantly homeless people who can't survive to run to the east road, and drive the surrounding Hejian Mansion, Shunde Mansion some people's clans.

When crossing the bridge, Han's father met Mr. Li and his party again and walked together.

Mr. Li is in his thirties, looks clear, has a wife, a son and a daughter, and a group of people, they met when they were in the city, this Mr. Li is usually silent in the crowd, rarely talks with others, and the two also talk a few words.

I heard that he was from Qingdu, read some books, usually did some business, counted as a small businessman, and went to Xuanfu Town to join his old friends.

His old friend, who served as a scribe in Baoan Prefecture, persuaded Mr. Li to come to Donglu in his daily letters, and after careful consideration, he decided to take his family to live in Xuanfu Town.

The city of Yizhou is tall and the city wall is thick, but it has not been repaired for many years and looks a little dilapidated.

Because the homeless people kept coming, resting here, and then going to the east road, so outside the south gate and the west gate, it was quite lively, and there were several people's markets, and some rich families and housekeeper-like people chose among them, and asked for more good-looking children.

For many homeless people and beggars, Xuanfu Town is not far away, out of the unknown future, if their children are bought, even if they are slaves and maids, as long as they have a bite to eat, in this troubled era, it is also a way to live.

Looking at those who sold their bodies, they were all skinny, and the misery of the homeless people outside the city, because they had seen a lot, Han's father and Han's mother and others were accustomed to it, only the merchant surnamed Sun shook his head unconsciously.

Although his goal is to go north all the way, temporarily go to Jingshi, and then cross Juyong Pass in the west and return to the east road, but to send the Buddha to the west, he is ready to send Han's father and Han mother, and the displaced people who are still traveling with him, into the Bauhinia Pass.

Mainly afraid of some defenders making it difficult, especially when entering the Bauhinia Pass, you have to pay tolls, in the past, each adult needed 20 yuan per person, and children also needed 10 yuan per person.

Because there were a lot of displaced people in the past, the defenders at that time received the money and received the soft, bitter Bauhinia Pass, which became a fat shortage land, causing some people's eyes to be red and contentious, and the Bauhinia Pass generals were no longer stationed in Yizhou, but stationed in the pass all the year round.

Later, Donglu negotiated with them, and there were some threats and so on.

Although, along the periphery of Xuanfu Town, the officials and generals in various places have received secret orders similar to the blockade from all sides, but they do not have the courage to deal with the East Road, and the toll is also a lot less, changed to five cents per adult and two or three cents per child.

Everyone rested a little under the city of Yizhou, and Merchant Sun paid money to buy some food such as cake and porridge for these hundreds of people, although it was not much, it could warm the stomach, but it was enough to make everyone grateful.

Along the way, this kind of care has been taken care of many times, and many homeless people have made up their minds that after settling down in the future, they will definitely worship the immortal tablet of this grandson's shopkeeper at home.

On the second day, everyone arrived dozens of miles west of Yizhou City, outside the Bauhinia Pass in Bauhinia Ridge.

This Bauhinia Pass City, east is Wan Ling Mountain, west is Rhino Mountain, north is Juma River, south is Loess Ridge, according to the slope of the water, the two mountains are sandwiched, together with Juyong Pass, Pour Ma Pass, known as the "Inner Three Passes", for the Great Plain of North China, enter one of the main roads of Xuanfu Town, there is the risk of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are in front of the pass".

Bauhinia Pass City is composed of five small cities, there are thousands of guards, at present, the staff generals are stationed inside, and the soldiers are stationed in Yizhou City, and the soldiers and generals guarding the pass are also lazy, regardless of anything else, the entry fee per person can not be less.

Sun Shangshang's eyes swept sharply, except for these soldiers with tattered clothes and armor, who did not stand or sit like they sitting, above the city, there were some soldiers with obvious strong manners standing, and many of them were personnel of the Intelligence Department of Xuanfu Town.

Some people, even the soldiers of the Jingbian Army in the army, have become the family members of these guards through various channels, not only at the Bauhinia Pass, the Juyong Pass, but also at the Baoma Pass, which has been infiltrated by the Intelligence Department.

The homeless people paid money and entered the city, and it was the turn of Han's father and Han's mother, Sun Shangshang stepped forward, popped out a few silver and copper rounds, and said lightly: "Mr. Zhou Qian, these people behind me, their tolls, Sun paid them on their behalf." ”

The keeper of the door was a thousand presidents, who knew each other, he saw that it was a businessman surnamed Sun, and saw the silver yuan in his hand, he was overjoyed, and unconsciously picked up one and blew it, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper Sun, who came back from the outside?" ”

The merchant surnamed Sun snorted, pointed to Han's father beside him and said: "This is Han Yuanwai, his son is a member of the Jingbian Army, Master Qian, you can't slack off." ”

That Zhou Qianzong was surprised, and unconsciously stood up straight, looking more respectful, although he was a member of the Qianzong, but this Qianzong, even for the officers and captains in the Shangjing Border Army, felt that he was still a head shorter, and there was a strong pressure.

Han's father and Han's mother, several sisters and brothers-in-law, seeing the general's expression, couldn't help but feel proud in their hearts, the baby has really grown up, and the majesty has spread to the outside world.

Turning around, the businessman surnamed Sun smiled and said: "Outside the Han Yuan, Sun will be sent here, enter the Bauhinia Pass, and walk dozens of miles to Zhao Gezhai." ”

"On that side, there is a shelter for displaced people in my Xuanzhen, and when outsiders enter, they may stay for a day or two to check whether there is an epidemic or something. Then go north along the way, through Henan Village, Mashuikou, Xiejiabao and other places, food and clothing supply is not a problem, Sun wished Han Yuanwai a smooth journey. ”

As early as the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Wang Dou established a walled stronghold in Henan Wa and Zhao Gezhuang, Ma Shuikou guarded Chu Qinmeng, and his daughter Chu Xiaoniang married Xie Yike as his wife, and the relationship with the East Road has long been intimate, and Zhao Gezhai also absorbed displaced people from Zhuozhou and Laishui.

Father Han was grateful again: "Thank you to Shopkeeper Sun." ”

Farewell to Sun Shang, after which everyone entered the Guancheng, although the Guancheng was majestic, but everyone did not have the heart to watch, and they did not have the leisure and leisure of the future generations, all of them just wanted to pass quickly.

Passing through Seki Castle, walking on the mountain road, winding and undulating, in many places, walking along the river, although potholes are difficult to walk, traffic is not a problem.

The biggest obstacle has gone, everyone is full of interest, full of hope, that is, the loess road along the way, the undulating hills and mountains, in the eyes of everyone, have also become cute, then Mr. Li's family, also showed an excited look, and finally arrived at the East Road.

And slowly, on both sides of the official road, tea shops and restaurants have gradually increased, most of them are Bauhinia Pass, or Mashuikou, local military families opened, although most of the displaced people are poor, but some people, still have money, need to eat and rest, this adds up, supporting the family is not a problem.

On the morning of the second day, almost midnight, suddenly a huge walled city stood in front of everyone.

This walled city spans both sides of the Juma River, standing on the ridge road and looking at it, you can faintly see that behind the wall, along both sides of the river, and on the side of the mountain, the houses are continuous, row by row, I don't know how many.

It seems that there are two walled gates, one facing the Bauhinia Pass, and one facing the east of the Juma River, but there is no walled wall in the north.

In the sky above the walled city, a bright red flag of the sun, moon and waves fluttered. (To be continued.) )
