The group ran non-stop all the way, ran for three hours, and finally stopped at noon, at this time, Li Hongfei and his party finally left the boundary of Jingshi and came to the range of Sanhe County, which was 70 kilometers away. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Why did it stop? Where is this going? Li Hongfei asked.

After tossing all morning, he finally got used to the bumps of the carriage, Li Hongfei was planning to take advantage of the opportunity to be alone with the beautiful woman to contact and contact his feelings, how could he say stop and stop?

"Mr. Hui, Miss Hongying took Guo Sheng to the front pass to investigate, and when they come back, we will continue to hurry." Wang Guoxing explained.

Sanhe County is named Sanhe with Qidu, Baoqiu and Linxun three waters, and it is an important post station that connects the Ming Dynasty Jingshi and the important town of the nine sides.

This is a heavily guarded area, and the defenders inside should not flee when they hear the wind, so it is better to understand the situation clearly.

Fortunately, this is the last checkpoint, as long as you pass the pass of Sanhe County, it will be the sphere of influence of Jizhou.

Jizhou Town is one of the nine defense towns of the Ming Dynasty, there are more than 60 general soldiers serving here, as an important member of many general soldiers in Jizhou Town, Qi Jiguang also guarded Jizhen here for 16 years.

Jizhou is the territory of the Qi family's army, and after Qi Jiguang was suppressed by the imperial court, Qi Hongying can still continue to operate the Qi family's army in Jizhou, which shows that Qi Jiguang has a deep influence here.

In addition, Jizhou has not been affected by the war now, so as long as they pass the pass of Sanhe County in front, Zhu Youzhen and others can be regarded as completely leaving Zhu Chunchen's defense area.

At that time, with Qi Hongying's influence in the local area, it should be no problem to buy a few days of rest and recuperation time for Zhu Youzhen and his entourage, and plan the next itinerary, after all, Li Zicheng has not yet completely gained a foothold in Beijing, and he will not march towards Jizhou so quickly.

About half an hour later, Qi Hongying, who had gone to investigate, finally rode back.

"Qi Qi Sheng, the pass of Sanhe County is now closed, a large number of refugees are stranded at the gate of the city, only allowed to enter but not to leave, want to pass, ordinary people have to charge ten taels of silver per person, soldiers with weapons to cross the border doubled, for twenty taels per person, with firearms are more expensive, it takes thirty taels to be allowed to go, and horses have to be charged an additional twenty taels, and they only accept cash, not silver tickets." Qi Hongying recounted the results of the investigation.

Looting was taking advantage of the fire everywhere, and the defenders of Trois-Rivières were no exception, but their chief seemed to be only interested in money.

This is also true, Sanhe County is the last pass here, and after seeing this, you can escape, who will put your life on the line for the sake of silver.

However, there are quite a lot of refugees and defeated troops gathered here, and if they are robbed, I am afraid that these refugees will be able to break through the defense line without waiting for Li Zicheng to come.

Therefore, the defending generals did not dare to do too much, leaving a glimmer of hope for those who wanted to leave.

"Buying life with money is really too deceitful!" Wang Guoxing roared angrily.

"You are a soldier of Jizhou, and the opposite side is the boundary of Jizhou, don't you give this face?" Li Hongfei said curiously.

In Li Hongfei's opinion, Qi Hongying is the head snake of Jizhou, and it is impossible for the guards here not to have heard of Qi Hongying's name.

"The guard general was only transferred recently, and the leading general seems to be Zhu Chunchen's cronies, and no one will give face." Qi Hongying said.

"It's hard to do now, we came out in a hurry, and all we carry with us are soft and soft, only silver tickets, but not much silver!" Wang Chengen was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.

The silver ticket is issued by the state, if the country is still there, then the silver ticket has sufficient guarantee, but now Li Zi has entered the Beijing Division, and it is about to change the dynasty, the silver ticket of the Ming Dynasty is not equal to a piece of waste paper, at least in the northern region, the silver ticket has stopped circulation, so the defenders of Sanhe County will definitely not want this useless waste paper.

"How much cash do we have?" Zhu Youzhen asked.

"Less than a hundred taels in total." Wang Chengen explained.

One hundred taels of silver, only enough for two firearms soldiers riding war horses, even if everyone throws away their weapons and war horses, disguised as civilians, they can only pass ten people, this is obviously impossible, if there are no these war horses, the road to the south is really not easy to walk.

But if you want to cross the border smoothly, there are forty-seven people in Zhu Youzhen's line, counting firearms and war horses, two thousand taels of silver are indispensable.

"Aren't there fans everywhere in your East Factory? Look for the stalls around here and see if you can scrape together the money. Li Hongfei came up with an idea.

Since the other party just wants money, there is no need to break in, besides, even if you break in, you can't get by, the army stationed here, there are no thousands of sergeants, dare to ask for money so blatantly?

"Yes, yes, I'll go, I'll go." Wang Chengen suddenly realized, hurriedly mounted his war horse, and under the escort of four Qi family soldiers, he headed towards the city.

In this way, everyone waited for about an hour again before Wang Chengen dragged a large box back to the temporary station.

"Qi Qi Sheng, the old slave is incompetent, and he only got 1,200 taels of silver." Wang Chengen was sincerely afraid.

The entire Dongchang stronghold, everything that can be made up, plus the broken silver, is only worth 1,200 taels, plus the silver taels made up by each, just 1,300 taels.

Li Hongfei quickly calculated in his heart, the number of people was 47, the war horses were equipped with 43 carriages, 35 birds, 2 three-eyed guns, and 45 cold weapons, if all passed, it would take 2520 taels of silver.

And now they have only 1,300 taels of silver in their hands, which is just over half.

"We have a carriage, can we hide our firearms in it?" Li Hongfei suddenly asked.

Firearms belong to the big head, just the firearms in the past, it costs 740 taels, although the horses are more expensive, but the horses are too big to hide.

"It's impossible, all the carriages that cross the border will be searched one by one." Qi Hongying said.

She had been observing the city gate for a long time, so she naturally understood it clearly.

"What about the use of weapons to pay for the journey?" Li Hongfei had a whim.

"No one wants war knives and the like, but firearms and war horses can be worth ten silver." Qi Hongying continued.

There is no shortage of cold weapons, as for firearms and war horses, as long as they are handed over, they can go out of the city for free.

"Let's do it, we don't want cold weapons, we go to the Jizhou territory, it shouldn't be difficult to get them, only fifteen horses are left, and the remaining discounts are exchanged for the other party, fifteen war horses can also be changed into carriages, and firearms can't be thrown, so they have to be kept. In this way, we will almost be able to get out of the city without any problems. Li Hongfei said.

In this way, the number of people who passed the customs became 47 people, 15 war horses, 37 muskets, a total of 1510 taels of silver, after subtracting the 28 war horses discounted to the other party, a total of only 1230 taels of silver, Wang Chengen got just enough silver to pass the customs.

And the war horse was converted into a carriage, a carriage plus a coachman, it was no problem to sit five people, in fact, it was enough to leave ten carriages, but considering the particularity of the emperor and the scouts who needed to explore the way on horseback, Li Hongfei left fifteen war horses.

"No, the embroidered spring knife is the glory of the brocade guard, and the person is in the knife, and it can't be discarded." Wang Guoxing did not agree to throw away the embroidered spring knife.

Jinyiwei's embroidered spring knife, unless it is killed in battle, no one dares to discard it.

In last night's battle, two Jinyi guards were killed, and now there are four people left, including Wang Guoxing, and these people are unwilling to give up the embroidered spring knife.

"This slashing sword is my grandfather's personal sword, how can I throw it away?" Qi Hongying also objected.

Qi Jiguang's saber, whether it is to Qi Hongying or the entire Chinese nation, has extraordinary significance.

"My 100-for-steel knife sharpens iron like clay, and it is easy to use, it's a pity to lose it!" Guo Sheng also coaxed.

The minting price of his knife was nearly fifty taels of silver, and it was a pity to throw it away.

"I can't lose this sword of heaven either." Zhu Youzhen made up the knife in the back.

The emperor's sword, no amount of silver can be bought.

So after some discussion again, in the team out of the city, there were seven more cold weapons, 1,300 taels of silver just spent, at this time everyone added, except for a few coins of broken silver, and a few copper plates, there was only a large stack of useless silver tickets.
