Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 390 Entering Yangqu County

The results are released on the fifth day after the exam. During the period before the results are released, all candidates are worried. Except for the exam, this time period is the most stressful.

At noon on the day when the results were announced, Sun Qingchang was sitting in the front yard of his home, playing Go with his father, Sun Dong.

This afternoon was when the grades were coming out. Sun Qingchang was sitting opposite Sun Dong, his mind was full of exam matters.

Although he was sure that he would be admitted to university, he was always a little uneasy.

Sun Dong dropped a son and looked at the restless Sun Qingchang, "You are playing chess, what are you thinking?"

Sun Qingchang hurriedly withdrew his thoughts, "Aren't I a little worried about my grades? There are more than 1 people taking the exam this time. With such a large number of people, there must be a lot of capable students."

"What's the use of being nervous at this time? Now that things have been settled, no matter how nervous you are, it won't help.

This morning, I sent Butler Wang out to go to the university.

If the results come out, he will definitely send the news back as soon as possible. Now you can stay at home with peace of mind and play chess with me. "Sun Dong shook his head, looked at the restless Sun Qingchang, and said earnestly.

Sun Qingchang snorted, and hastily set his sights on the chessboard.

At this time, the steward Wang sent by Sun Dong stayed under the big tree outside the university entrance, quietly waiting for the moment when the rankings would be announced.

There is a wall outside the university gate, which is specially used to post the list of people admitted to the university.

Today is the time for the results to be released. Apart from Steward Wang, there are also people standing around the wall. These people are all here to check whether they have passed the exam.

Most of these people are students who took the exam, and there are very few people like Mr. Wang.

Director Wang squatted under the big tree, looked at the students nearby, and murmured, "This scene is almost as good as going to the government. According to the young master's ability, it should be no problem to get into the university."

After waiting for a short time, more than a dozen guards came out holding a few huge rice papers with their names written on them.

Steward Wang's eyes lit up, he hurriedly stood up from under the big tree, and walked quickly towards the wall.

"Come out, come out." The onlookers looked at the guard who came out and shouted excitedly.

A big man pointed at the crowd and shouted: "Now everyone take five steps back, now I'm going to post the list."

Under the voice of the big man, these people hurriedly backed away, giving way to a distance of five steps.

After the big man posted the list, the crowd of onlookers rushed up.

They squinted their eyes, looking for their names on the list.

The student who found his name burst into high spirits and burst out laughing.

The students who couldn't find their names stood there with a frustrated face, constantly searching for their names on the list.Obviously, they couldn't accept this fact.

"Haha, I passed the exam, I passed the exam. I didn't expect that I, Zhao Ergou, could also be admitted to the university. Haha, God has eyes, God has eyes."

A young man in ordinary clothes with a dark complexion squeezed out from the crowd, stepped onto a tricycle full of goods, laughed loudly and galloped towards the city.

"Who is this person? How can he pass the exam with his appearance?" A scholar who failed the exam pointed to Zhao Ergou who left, with an unconvinced expression on his face.

"His house is not far from my house, and his father sells sesame seed cakes. When Mr. Zongbing didn't come to Xuanzhen, his family couldn't even eat. I didn't expect to turn over and go to university now. What a shit luck .” A scholar next to him who failed the ranking looked at Zhao Ergou who was leaving, his eyes were full of envy.

"I didn't pass the exam, I didn't pass the exam? I passed the exam at the age of 15, and I didn't get into the university today? I don't accept it, I don't accept it." A young scholar with a gorgeous dress squeezed from the crowd with a frantic expression on his face. He came out and ran towards the distance, yelling.

"Sigh, how can such a nice person go crazy?" Steward Wang sighed and hurried forward.

Looking at this scene, Steward Wang couldn't help thinking of how he accompanied Sun Dong to go to the list after the test in the mansion.

Compared with the current scene, that scene is almost the same.

Butler Wang squeezed to the front of the crowd, squinted his eyes and searched carefully on the list.

"I got it, I got it, I ranked third, I really got it." As soon as he saw the list, Steward Wang saw Sun Qingchang's name, and it was No.3 in the first row.

"Young master passed the exam, young master passed the exam." Sun Qingchang laughed and pushed his way out of the crowd, stepped on a tricycle, and headed towards Sun's mansion in a hurry.

"Master, the young master has passed the exam, the young master has passed the exam, and he is in the top three!!!"

Just when he stopped in front of the gate of the Sun Mansion, Steward Wang jumped off the tricycle and rushed towards the Sun Mansion.

"Master, the young master has won, the young master has won, and the top three!"

Steward Wang rushed to the yard and shouted loudly at the two who were playing chess.

When Sun Dong heard this, his hands trembled, and he dropped the flag in his hand on the chessboard.

"Really? Or No.3?" Sun Dong stood up suddenly, looking at Steward Wang excitedly.

Steward Wang nodded heavily, "That's right, I won, ranking third. Sun Qingchang, who lives in Beier Hutong, Xuanzhen Town, this is our home address, and the young master won."

After hearing Steward Wang's affirmative answer, Sun Dong slapped his thigh and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you really deserve to be my son, good job."

When he heard that he had passed the exam, Sun Qingchang was not so excited, instead he looked calm.

"Haha, thank you, this month, the monthly allowances of all servants in the mansion will be doubled, and I will hold a banquet for three days and three nights." Sun Dong wandered around in the yard, venting his inner excitement.

At this moment, some people in Xuan Town were crying and others were laughing.

The homes of those who have been admitted to university are full of laughter, but those who have not been admitted are gloomy.

A young man named Meng Yao walked from the gate of the university to his home in a daze, with a wry smile on his face.

Not surprisingly, he failed.He read all the lists no less than ten times, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't find his name.

As soon as I got home, my parents who were sitting in the main room greeted me and asked with concern, "Have you passed the exam?"

Meng Yao shook his head with a wry smile, and heaved a long sigh, "No, I didn't pass the exam. My name is not on the list of 4000 people."

When his father heard this, his face gradually turned cold, "What? Didn't pass the exam? How could you fail the exam? How did you do it? This time, the enrollment was expanded by 4000 people. How could you not pass the exam?

If you don't pass the college entrance examination, don't you still want to be like me, to be a businessman for the rest of your life?Although Lord Zongbing is kind, our life is getting better and better now, but if you fail to enter the university, what will happen to your future?
You are only now, are you just like me all your life, do not know a single word, and watch people's faces all day long? "

Hearing his father's scolding, Meng Yao's heart became more and more confused. He explained: "I was able to pass the exam, but I was too nervous during the exam, so I didn't finish the test paper."

"Excuses, you are all excuses. If you don't get into college, your life will be useless." Meng Yao's father was furious, pointing at Meng Yao and yelling loudly.

"It's not that there will be no more opportunities. The university will definitely expand its enrollment in the future. Maybe I will be able to pass the exam by then." Meng Yao said a little unconvinced.

"Hmph, who knows what will happen in the future? Forget it, I don't think you have much hope. From now on, you don't need to study anymore. From tomorrow on, you can set up a stall with me." Meng Yao's father stood up, sleeves With a flick, he walked outside without looking back.

Scenes like today's Sun Qingchang and Meng Yao are constantly being staged in Xuanzhen. Although it is cruel, there is no way to do it.

At this time, Zhao Wen led the soldiers and horses to Yangqu County, less than a hundred miles away from Taiyuan Mansion.

It can be said that Zhao Wen's attack all the way has been smooth, and he has never encountered decent resistance at all.

After seeing the army led by Zhao Wen, those small towns and military forts surrendered without hesitation.

Even the towns and towns in Shanxi, with many soldiers and thick cities, can't bear it, let alone these small military fortresses.

At this time, Liu Wenzhong sent out, and those personnel who were going to Shanxi Town had already arrived in Shanxi Town.

After they entered Shanxi Town, they quickly began to take over the entire Shanxi Town.

Among them, the old officials sent by Liu Wenzhong were the main force. They spread all over Shanxi Town in a very short period of time and took control of Shanxi Town.

Because of their age and experience, these selected college students can only act as assistants to these old officials, gaining experience.

These people, together with the reserve troops brought in, began to govern the entire Shanxi Town in a short period of time.

The people in Shanxi Town were like a dream. In just a few days, Shanxi Town changed its dynasty.

The first thing these people do after taking control of Shanxi Town is to clean up the evil gentry and bullies and re-clear the land.

Redistribute confiscated land to landless farmers.

Because of this reason, the people in Shanxi Town returned their hearts quickly, and for a while, those people in Shanxi Town who got the land became grateful to Zhao Wen.

The regular army that Zhao Wen stayed in Shanxi Town quickly handed over the law and order to the reserve because of the arrival of the reserve, and at the same time kept chasing in Zhao Wen's direction.

At this time, Zhao Wen stationed his soldiers and horses five miles away from Yangqu County.

Zhao Wen stood in front of the camp, looked at Yangqu County with a binoculars in front of him, and murmured, "Is there any movement around Yangqu County?"

Standing beside Zhao Wen, Li Xiaosan pointed to Yangqu County in front of him, and said, "According to the report from Yebu, the guards in the nearby Juntun Fortress and the county seat of Yangqu County have been going to the Taiyuan Mansion for the past few days. and go.

From the looks of it, Taiyuan Mansion seems to have given up on Yangqu County, intending to use all its strength to defend Taiyuan Mansion.

The current Yangqu County can be said to be an empty city, except for some left-behind guards and a small number of young and strong, there are no other troops. "

"Since we have given up on Yangqu County, let's take Yangqu County directly. Depending on the weather, there is about an hour and a half before the sun sets. After an hour and a half, I will enter Yangqu County." Zhao Wen put down With the binoculars in his hand, he looked at Li Xiaosan, "Give me an order to let the fifth, sixth, and seventh thousand households attack, with 3000 troops, more than enough to take down an empty city."

"Obey!" Li Xiaosan clasped his fists at Zhao Wen, roared, and led several messengers to run to the rear.

Not long after, 3000 troops rushed out of the army formation and rushed towards Yangqu County ahead.

While the 3000 men rushed out, a dozen mortars were pushed out.

After a few rumbling cannons, explosions of flames appeared on the county seat of Yangqu County.

The few guards and young men on the city wall panicked. With no bullets from the officers, the defenders on the city wall began to collapse after only one round of shelling.

The defenders on the top of the city dropped their weapons, panicked, and fled towards the bottom of the city wall.

At this time, they were like sheep being chased by wild wolves, panicking.

The Qianhus of the three Qianhusuo looked at the scene on the city wall and couldn't help sighing.

The thousand households of the fifth thousand households looked at the chaotic city wall and cursed: "Is this a war or a house? This way, there is not even a decent resistance. It's really boring."

"Hey, my lord, isn't this just right, the entire county can be taken down without any effort." The guard who was next to Qianhu said with a small smile on his face.

Qianhu glared at the guard, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, don't talk about it, we are going to the city wall, concentrate."

At this moment, the city gate of Yangqu County was suddenly opened, and several guard soldiers in ragged clothes ran out, holding white flags, and knelt on both sides of the city gate of Yangqu County.

"Good guy, I surrendered directly!" Zhao Wen sighed, looking at the scene ahead through the telescope.

In fact, it can't be blamed that these guards surrendered without holding on for a moment.

After Chen Dehai ran to Taiyuan and told Shanxi governor Wu Zhen of Zhao Wen's true strength.

Wu Zhen made a decisive decision to give up all the places north of Taiyuan Mansion, and transferred the defenders in the counties near Taiyuan Mansion to Taiyuan Mansion.

In Wu Tong's plan, other places can be omitted, but this Taiyuan Mansion must not be lost.

Taiyuan Mansion is the provincial capital of Shanxi, and there are many princes in it.

Its importance is self-evident and cannot be missed.

The three thousand households looked at the city gate wide open, and rushed in without thinking.

The war horse stepped through the city gate and rushed into the city.

The guards holding the white flag knelt on both sides of the city gate, burying their heads very low.

Zhao Wen put down the binoculars, pointed at Yangqu County, and said to Li Xiaosan beside him, "Order the whole army to station in Yangqu County."

"Obey!" Li Xiaosan roared, and hastily passed on Zhao Wen's order.

After a while, the army began to move towards Yangqu County.

At this moment, in a small forest four or five miles away from Zhao Wen, several men in civilian clothes stood up from the ground and ran towards the place where the horses were tied.

After a few breaths, the fast horses galloped towards Taiyuan Mansion.

Just a few steps after they ran out, a dozen or so soldiers in armor and riding horses appeared on the spot.

"My lord has an order, don't hunt them down, let them go." The leading man looked at the fleeing people, turned around and shouted.

These people were Yebushou sent out by Zhao Wen, and they had already discovered these people.

It's just that because of Zhao Wen's order, they only monitored these people and didn't do anything to them.
