"The official will joke, they are two bodyguards hired by my store, specially to protect the safety of our store, this time I am afraid that the road will not be safe, so I will take them to guard along the way. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

After looking at Li Guo and Yuan Zong again, Chief Officer Bai said: "Since they are guards, why do I see that these two people have military spirit and murderous aura?" ”

Hearing this, Tian Jianxiu pulled the general officer aside and praised with a thumbs up: "The official has good eyesight, these two people were Yuan Chonghuan's personal soldiers back then, and they killed the Tartars, after Yuan Chonghuan was beheaded, the two left the team and lived in the rivers and lakes to make a living as bodyguards. ”

"Oh! I see. Chief Officer Bai suddenly said.

Glancing at the general officer, Tian Jianxiu said with a smile on his face: "The general is serious, the villain is very respectful, please tell the general his name, and we will invite the general to drink in the evening." ”

Hearing that there was wine to drink, the general officer of the hundred generals said with a smile: "In Xia'an Quartet." Changing of the guard. When you go to the Zhongzi camp, you will know. ”

"It turned out to be General An. The small ones don't bother you with your official duties. I'll go to you for a drink at the end of the day. Tian Jianxiu said with a smile.

In the evening, Tian Jianxiu invited An Sifang to drink, and An Sifang invited several officers who had a good relationship with him to go for a drink.

Whoever eats for nothing does not eat, and eats for nothing. Everyone took Tian Jianxiu as the wronged leader, and when they arrived at the restaurant, they ordered all the good wine and food, and the one who ate was called happy. For several days in a row, Tian Jianxiu invited these people to drink, and when these people were drunk and hazy, he thoroughly felt the time of the changing of the guard of the officers and soldiers and the number of garrisons.

A few days later, in the second half of the night, more than 300 elites who entered the city and hid through a variety of identities and occupations quietly came out, touched the city gate, and a rain of arrows shot the soldiers guarding the city to death, and then opened the city gate, and then took advantage of the chaos to touch the city tower, cut the rope and put down the drawbridge.

The defenders of the city desperately came to seize the city gate, but these invading troops were selected, fierce and fierce, fighting to the death and not retreating, the terrain of the city gate was narrow, and it could not be used, although there were many officers and soldiers in the city, it was difficult to recapture the city gate for a while.

"Rush! Kill, ......" Listening to the sound of fighting at the city gate, the cavalry of the intruding army, who had already been ambushed not far away, shouted loudly, and galloped with steel swords in hand.

Listening to the violent tremor of the ground, and looking at the large cavalry galloping in the night, the defenders had no heart to fight again. Discarding swords and guns and fleeing for their lives, the peasant army brigade took advantage of the chaos to rush into the Qingmu River in Ningqiang County.

"Brothers, the capture of the Aoki River is equivalent to opening the passage into Sichuan, the combat strength of the officers and troops in Sichuan is weak, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as the Sichuan Qipan Pass and Chaotian Pass are captured, and Guangyuan County is occupied, we will enter Sichuan, and at that time, we will be able to develop in Sichuan. Sichuan is a good place, do you want to go? Li Zicheng asked with a laugh as he drank wine.

Guotianxing Hui Dengxiang drank half a bowl of wine, put down the wine bowl, wiped the wine flowing on his beard, and said proudly: "Fools don't want to go, Brother Li, you say, when will you attack Qipanguan and Chaotian Pass, when the time comes, I will personally lead my subordinates to attack the city." ”

Gu Junen said: "Sichuan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the people are rich in the country, the fertile fields are thousands of miles, the east is connected to Jingchu, the north is connected to the Han Dynasty, Qutang is dangerous, and the Sword Pavilion is majestic. Zhuge Liang relied on Shu and Cao Wei to fight for twenty or thirty years, as long as we occupy Sichuan, it is equivalent to having our own territory, after several years of development, our righteous army will inevitably rise in strength, to a certain time, wave the army into the Central Plains, the next day will be ours. ”

"Brother Li, when the time comes, you will sit on the dragon seat, don't forget that I am waiting......" Zhang Dashou said, and laughed.

Li Zicheng laughed and said: "If Li has that day, he will be crowned as a prince of all brothers." Hereditary replacement. ”

"Brother Xie Li......" After everyone finished speaking, they looked at each other and laughed.

The next day, the peasant army waved its army to Qipanguan, after a bloody battle, captured Qipanguan, rested for a day, and then pounced on Chaotian Pass, although the defenders of Chaotianguan resisted hard, but finally because they were outnumbered, Guancheng was captured by the peasant army. After occupying Guangyuan County and resting for a few days, Li Zicheng began to wave his army to conquer the city in Sichuan......

After a ten-day trip, Zhao Guohua and his entourage finally arrived in Fuzhou, Fujian.

Fuzhou is referred to as "Rong", also known as Rongcheng, Sanshan, Zuohai, Mindu, the capital of Fujian Province, a famous city in the south of the Yangtze River, located in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River, with "three mountains, two towers, and one river".

Traditionally, it is the collective name of Fuzhou Shiyi (including Minhou County, Fuqing City, Changle City, Lianjiang County, Minqing County, Gutian County, Yongtai County, Pingtan County, Pingnan County, and Luoyuan County).

During the Warring States Qin and Han dynasties, the ancestors of the Min nationality in Fuzhou and the descendants of Goujian, the king of Yue, merged to form the local government of the Min and Yue people.

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified Minyue and moved people between the Jianghuai River, Fuzhou once withered and declined. In the third year of Jin Taikang (282 years), he built a sub-city with strict heights, and chiseled West Lake and East Lake to irrigate farmland; The Eastern Jin Dynasty and the people crossed to the south, and many surnames moved into Fujian, bringing advanced production technology and culture in the Central Plains, and promoting the economic and cultural recovery and development of Fuzhou.

In the thirteenth year of Tang Kaiyuan (725), Fuzhou was promoted to the governor's office, and the government was located in the state city (now Guping Road), and the name of Fuzhou was used until now. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Shen knew the main Fujian, built the Fujian country, built Luo City and the north and south sandwich city outside the sub-city, crossed the Wang Mountain (i.e., Ping Mountain) in the north, and surrounded the Jiuxian Mountain (i.e., Yu Mountain) and Wushi Mountain in the south into the city, dug a large ditch around the south, east and west sides of the city of Luo, laid the unique urban pattern of "three mountains and Dingzhi, one water circulation", and Fuzhou thus had the nickname of "three mountains".

In the second year of Song Zhiping (1065), Zhang Boyu knew Fuzhou, arranged the household to plant banyan, and the city was full of greenery, and the name of "Banyan City" came from this.

Fuzhou in the Song Dynasty had a large population and extremely prosperous economy, and was one of the six major cities in the Song Dynasty.

Since the Ming Dynasty, Fuzhou has been the capital of Fujian. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Fuzhou had a well-developed shipbuilding industry and advanced navigation technology. In 1396, the 36 surnames of Fuzhou began to move to the Ryukyus, and Zheng He's fleet chose Taiping Port in Changle County as a berthing base, a place to purchase materials and a starting point for sailing to the West, and a large number of capable Fuzhou sailors were active in Zheng He's fleet. After that, Fuzhou's overseas trade gradually recovered, and in 1474 it became the seat of the Fujian City Shipping Division.

Just walked into Fuzhou City, a middle-aged man greeted him and said enthusiastically: "A few guest officers, are you here to purchase goods in Fuzhou, do you want the goods of the Ming Dynasty or the goods of the East, the West, and the South Seas?" ”

"What do you do?" Niu Huan looked at this person and asked.

"Oh, I'm from a brokerage firm, and I specialize in making intermediary contacts between people who come to Fuzhou to buy goods from other places and sellers of goods." The man hurriedly introduced himself.

At this time, Zhao Guohua understood that this person was a commodity intermediary, and he was of the same nature as the housing agency in later generations, and lived by eating commissions at both ends.

After thinking about it, he asked, "What are the goods of the East, the West, and the South Seas, you can tell me about it." ”

"Oh, that's a lot, Western ivory, glass, incense powder, gold and jade, jewelry, spices from the South Seas, mahogany, agarwood, etc., ......" said the man in a mouthful of words.

Zhao Guohua asked, "Are there any sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn?" ”

"Sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn? Sounds like the name, it's something grown in the field, right? The man asked, tilting his head.

"Not bad! Not bad! Have you ever seen any of these things? Zhao Guohua hurriedly asked.

After thinking for a while, the man slowly said, "I haven't seen it." ”

Remembering that these things were transmitted from the Americas to Europe after Columbus's voyage, and from Europe to the Ming Dynasty, this person was engaged in commodity intermediary, and Chinese and foreign businessmen must have seen a lot, maybe he knew where Europeans lived in Fuzhou. So Zhao Guohua asked: "This big brother, have you seen a foreigner with a high nose and yellow hair in Fuzhou?" ”

"You're asking about Yangyi, right?" The man asked.

Zhao Guohua nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's Yangyi." It's Yangyi. ”

looked at Zhao Guohua and the others, this person said with a smile: "I know that I know, but I don't have time to take you to find it, I still have to earn money to support my family." ”

As soon as he heard this, he knew that he was asking for money, Zhao Guohua took out a piece of silver and said, "This big brother, as long as you take us to find Yangyi, this piece of silver is yours." ”

"Is that true?" The man asked incredulously. If you lead the way, you can get two taels of silver, which is a good thing that is hard to find with a lantern.

"Of course." Zhao Guohua said with a smile.

This person grabbed Zhao Guohua excitedly, and said excitedly: "Let's go, I'll take you to find Yangyi." ”

The road is crowded with people, cars and horses, and people with various accents come and go, and the shops on both sides are next to each other

The goods in the store are full of goods, and the cries of selling come and go, which is worthy of the southern coastal port.

"Big brother's surname?" Zhao Guohua asked as he walked.

Smiling, this person said: "Sir, you don't have to be polite, you will be exempted from your surname Yan Dahai." ”

"Good name! Good name! Zhao Guohua said with a smile

Yan Dahai said with a smile: "Mr. said that it was funny, this name is not good, but it is easy to remember." ”
