Bao slope road, Wusheng Station, in front of the city gate tower

Wusheng Station, Phoenix Station and Yangquan Station belong to the Qinling Great Station, there are countless houses and courtyards, but their fates are completely different, Yangquan Station is still operated as a rest station for thousands of years, but the Wusheng Station in front of them has been defeated.

Everyone stood on the gatehouse and looked backwards to observe, the Wusheng Post was built on the flat slope of the mountain, like terraces to build the mountainside, the gatehouse was like a city gate, and countless nested courtyards could be seen when entering the post station, most of the houses inside were broken beams and tiles, the rammed earth courtyard wall was full of cobwebs and cracks, the weeds everywhere were tall and dense, and the children had to go into it even over their heads.

The strong wind blew, the rubble on the windowsill fell and the bricks fell, and the black-painted windows left countless black holes, as if they had been densely poked by something.

Ren Peacock noticed that everyone was looking at those strange courtyard walls, picked up the meniscus knife and pointed at the holes and said, "These holes are bullet droplet marks!" ”

"Bullet marks, there was a shootout here!"

Song Siyuan's eyes lit up, these holes had been weathered, and there was a faint dark black color around them, which could be seen to be the traces left by gunpowder and fireballs.

"By the way, ten years ago, Wushengyi could still live in people, but then there was a shootout, and some people saw the broken tile house shining, and this place was completely ruined!"

"Sister Ren, you won't be talking about the Shaanxi Sichuan bandits!"

Tang Dayang heard her mention the shootout, and immediately guessed what was going on, and let the peacock bow his head at everyone and acquiesce: "Right, it was the joint suppression of bandits in Shaanxi and Sichuan ten years ago~ At that time, the previous dynasty abdicated the autonomy of the provinces, whose baby's child and who fought, this place in Hanzhong is located on the edge of Shaanxi......

Hanzhong is located in the hinterland of the Qinling Mountains, surrounded by mountains, closed and difficult to enter, there are only a few ancient roads to go out of the mountains and into the mountains, just suitable for bandits to occupy the mountains and entrench, dozens of bandits pull up the tiger skin to make a big banner, and do the king of the mountain in the nearby mountains.

At first, they just made a small fuss, doing such painless things as gathering crowds to drink and make trouble, robbing passing caravans, and extorting local people, until these bandit leaders found that they could close the ancient road and ask for tolls, so they began to recruit troops, expand guns and ammunition, and almost completely occupy all the ancient trade roads.

The Han County government has sent people to negotiate many times, and the officials in this kind of place are soft-spoken, and they can't find a soldier to listen to him if they say a cruel word, of course, there is no threat, besides, the bandits have fallen into the grass, who still listens to the official master to set up a dragon gate array, at most give a face, and do not block the post mail of the government!

From then on, all the traders from Guanzhong to Sichuan Shu, no matter how big the business, have to pay some tolls to pass the customs safely, if you don't want to, then you can only take the other two farther ancient roads, one back and forth for a month.

Time is money, these traders and travelers have already walked half of the ancient road, how can they go back to change the road, even if they are unwilling, they have to endure the disgust and send the filial piety money.

Part of this money went into the pockets of the bandit leaders, and the other part was all divided by the bandits.

The people of Han County saw that they were tired and tired of working for half a year, and they had not been shown a few times to make money, and they also had the idea of joining the bandits, and in the end, the people were not only ashamed of being bandits, but also proud of it, and there were young and middle-aged men in the family, and they had to introduce each other to be bandits.

In this regard, it is inconvenient for these people to say it clearly, and they only say that their families have gone out to "do business".

Throughout the year, these bandit babies hang their waist knives and take hundreds of oceans divided by the bandit leaders down the mountain to reunite with their families, and every family kills pigs and sheep to celebrate the New Year, and if anyone's baby does not return on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is designated that they have been pulled and died outside.

This kind of atmosphere of all the people being bandits prevailed in Hanzhong, so that the government could not manage it if it wanted to, and no one had relatives to beg for a living on the mountain, and under the cover of each other, anyone who wanted to suppress bandits would have to be restrained in every way, and in the end it would be over.

Later, the new governor of Shaanxi and Sichuan came here in Beijing, and they wanted to open up the ancient road of Sichuan and Shu for the political achievements of Xijing, and the first thing to move was these bandits.

In order to solve the problem of the ancient road and post road as soon as possible, they repaired books and appeased several bandit leaders, and as long as they were willing to go down the mountain, they would let them be officers of the new battalion for regimental training.

As soon as the official document came out, these bandits were panicked and had different thoughts, some of them had already passed the days of licking blood from the knife edge, and wanted to go down the mountain to wash their hands and go ashore, but some of the evil bandits were infected with hundreds of lives, and they had already been named by the enemy, and they were afraid that the enemy would definitely not want to go down the mountain for revenge.

The leaders of the bandits in the major mountains experienced several more battles, and more than a dozen mountain banners gradually merged into several big bandit villages.

No matter how tough these bandits were, they finally accepted Zhao'an!

Those who know the times are Junjie, and they also understand that they can succeed because the world has been decided, and the government has not freed up their hands to clean them up, and this kind of ill-gotten wealth is too much to die a good death, since they all have families and mouths, they can go down the mountain to train the battalion soldiers, which is much better than the bandits who are in danger.

After that, the bandit leaders repaired a letter and officially submitted a letter of surrender to the government, and the officials in charge of Shaanxi and Sichuan felt that there was a need for a ceremony, so they proposed that they wash their hands and go down the mountain after worshipping Guan Er Ye at Wushengyi.
