The name of Jinzhou began in the Liao Dynasty. Yelu Abaoji, the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, took Han captives and built a city named Jinzhou.

The Chu Dynasty did not set up a state capital here, only a military town, namely Liaodong Dusi. However, the Chu people still used to call Guangning Zhongtunwei Jinzhou.

By the 18th year of Chu Yanguang's reign, Guangning, Yizhou and other places farther east had fallen. Chu's territory in Liaodong was only left with Guangning Zhongtun Guard and Ningyuan Guard.

This is a long and narrow Liaoxi corridor east of Shanhaiguan, west of Xiaoling River, south of Yanshan Mountains, and north of Bohai Sea. It is the last small passage for the Qing army to enter the customs. Of course, they can also enter the customs from other places.

In Wang Xiao's words: "Our Chu Dynasty only has two cities left in Liaoning Province? Jinzhou and Huludao."

The entire Liaohe Plain was lost, only a small corridor was guarded, and there was no room to move. The situation was obviously not good. But Wang Xiao knew that it was at least a little better than the original history.

In the original history, Zu Dashou had surrendered after the Battle of Songjin, and only the isolated city of Ningyuanwei guarded by Wu Sangui was left outside the pass. Ideas Chinese website is the fastest

But now, Qin Chengye has not surrendered yet.

As for the difference between Qin Chengye and Zu Dashou? Wang Xiao didn't know what kind of person Zu Dashou was in the original history, but he could get a glimpse of it from the information of the Chu Dynasty today.

The capital of Liaodong has been a military town since its establishment, which is different from the prefecture in Guannei. Military households in the Chu Dynasty were hereditary, so it was inevitable that military clans would be formed one after another in Liaodong.

Tieling Li family, Liaoyang Cui family, Tong family, Jinzhou Cai family, Ningyuan Zu family...

The military and political power in Liaodong was actually in the hands of these clans, and both suffered losses and prosperity.

In the past two hundred and seventy years of the Chu Dynasty, the illustrious military achievements of the generals of Liao Town were probably achieved by these military clans relying on their descendants and servants. From another perspective, the history of defending Liao is also the legacy of the powerful families in Liaodong.

History of family strife.

These families have done a great job in protecting the country, but they obviously put their family interests above the interests of the country.

For example, during the reign of the late emperor, Pei Hong, the governor of Liaodong, dug up the ancestral grave of the Cui family in Liaoyang in order to build the Great Wall. His final fate was that his head was beheaded and passed down to the nine sides.

After Wang Xiao understood this, he roughly understood one of the reasons why his ancestors surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and rebelled again in history, and later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty: family interests.

If it were Li Dashou, Cui Dashou, or Tong Dashou, it would actually be the same.

The difference about Qin Chengye is that he started out as a bandit.

Of course, the Qin family has now become the largest clan in Liao Town, but it seems that... the means of extracting benefits for the family are not yet that mature.

This is the good bit...

Qin Chengye was originally a bandit, and he was already very skilled in martial arts when he was young. Fifty years ago, he robbed a dart of fat sheep. Seeing that one of the women was extremely beautiful, he took Mrs. Yazhai in his arms.

In just half a day, when Ning Yuanwei commanded the Qianshi Cai Maoxun and commanded the servants to attack Qingfengling, it was already too late.

Qin Chengye picked up his belt and led the bandits to beat the officers and soldiers to pieces. At that time, Cai Maoxun felt... this guy is a talented person.

In the long years that followed, Qin Chengye accepted the recruitment and became the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Army. Miss Cai also gave birth to many children for him...

Qin Chengye was not good at naming. He happened to be in Shanhaiguan when his eldest son was born, so he randomly named his eldest son Qin Shanhai.

The second son was born in the second year, let's call him Qin Shanchuan.

The third son Qin Shanhe.

Sizi Qinshan Lake.

Then, Qinshan Bo, Qinshan Water, Qinshan Canal...

Qin Chengye's youngest son is also 27 years old this year, Qin Shandi.

In the eighteenth year of Yanguang's reign, it was the fourth day of the first lunar month.

The sky is dark and bright.

On the school field of Guangning Zhongwei, a long knife struck a wooden stake, splitting it into pieces.

Getting up early every day to practice martial arts is a compulsory course for the Qin family.

Not far away, the Qin family's disciples danced with swords and spears in a majestic manner.

The soldiers on the school field are still practicing, day after day.

After Qin Chengye finished practicing martial arts, his whole body was filled with heat.

He put on a piece of clothing and walked onto the general stage.

On the general stage, there was a scribe wrapped in a large cloak sitting there, holding a wine bag in his hand, drinking while looking at the school grounds.

The scribe's name was Dong Jihe, the same Mr. Dong whom Qin Xiaozhu once told Wang Xiao, "My name was given to me by Mr. Dong, the most well-read among the Guan Ning cavalry."

"You're all an old man, damn, you started drinking right after you got up again." Qin Chengye cursed.

"You have lived long enough." Dong Jihe said, "The Huaiyuan Marquis should have arrived today and will enter the city at noon."

"It's no use coming here. If you can't bring a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, the city of Jinzhou is not going to be finished yet." Qin Chengye took the wine bag in Dong Jihe's hand, took a sip, and asked: "The news about Yizhou has been found.

No?" Thinking Chinese website╭ァんττρs:.sしz.Θмんττρs:м.sしz.Θмヤ

"I can't detect it. The movements of the slaves this year are too suspicious..."

"Damn it, it was very suspicious last year." Qin Chengye gargled his mouth with wine, then swallowed it in one gulp, and then continued: "We suffered a heavy defeat of 150,000 people in the Battle of Songshan, and I was beaten to death.

, as long as the thieves and slaves surround me for a few months, I might surrender, so why did they suddenly withdraw?"

Qin Chengye has been asking this question for several months, but Dong Jihe still can't answer it.

"No news about Shenyang can be found, and all the fine works have been cut off. It's hard to say." Dong Jihe knocked on his knees and sighed: "If I hadn't received the letter of persuasion to surrender written by Huang Taiji, I would really

I suspect that the slave chief is dead."

"He's not dead. I know he's not dead. He has been recuperating for more than half a year, and there must be something happening now." Qin Chengye narrowed his eyes, but suddenly said: "Last night, my brother-in-law said a lot of things about his mother again

The truth.”

Dong Jihe asked: "Should I advise you to surrender?"

"Otherwise." Qin Chengye spat and said, "This family, young and old, must have a way to survive."

Dong Jihe said: "I don't vote because I study Confucianism and want to defend Taoism. Why don't you vote?"

"I don't want to shave my head."

Dong Jihe smiled and looked at the Qin family disciples wearing heavy armor on the school field, feeling slightly absent-minded...

The atmosphere in Liao Town is breathtaking. From the Daling River, Xiaoling River, and Songshan, there have been fierce battles. There are only a few acropolis hanging outside the pass. They seem to be important military towns and have great power. In fact,

It's just suffering every day, waiting for death or defection.

"The rain is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building..."

It's cloudy today.

Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

The city wall was raised layer by layer with loess. The ancient Chinese characters "Jinzhou City" were covered up, and only the ugly and huge city outline piled with loess could be seen.

Outside the city are deep ditches blocking the cavalry one after another. In the ditches, you can still faintly see many white bones that have not been covered by the loess.

The planks were driven over the deep ditch, and the carriages and horses creaked across the planks.

Wang Xiao rode into Jinzhou City...

All I can see is depression.

There are still many city walls within the city walls, and there is no life on the roads, no shops, and no street vendors.

Armored sergeants were roaming everywhere, and civilians carried bags and wood to build defenses.

Occasionally, there were two shops with their doors open, and the sound of "dang-dang-dang" of forging could be heard from inside.

This is obviously not a city for people to live happily...

Every time Wang Xiao passed a city wall, the light in front of him dimmed, making people feel more and more depressed.

Finally, after passing through the last inner city gate, he saw rows of Qin family generals standing in front of him in armor.

Qin Chengye stood there like an iron tower, like another city wall.
