Originally, Zheng Xiaoming's six hundred subordinates defeated and incorporated some Yellow Turbans, bandits, etc. along the way, especially in Rang County, which brought the number of teams under him to 1,000.

Now, with the addition of the Zheng family sent five hundred, this is 1,500.

Then the Yin family sent 1,500 private troops... Of course, these private troops were not just from the Yin family.

There are other wealthy families in Nanyang who have the same aura as the Yin family, such as the Deng family, the Li family, the Wu family Cen family, etc.

During the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people of Nanyang made great efforts. Among the twenty-eight Yuntai, 13 of them were from Nanyang, which was much more awesome than any general county.

The people of Nanyang were the basic foundation of Emperor Guangwu, so Nanyang developed into such a perverted county in this dynasty, and the most prosperous and populous place in the world.

There are also the most old surnames here, namely old families.

These old families intermarried and married each other for generations, forming a large and airtight network.

Other second- and third-rate families like Zheng, Korean, Li, Zhu, and Ye are also in this website. But they just belong to the periphery!

Now that Zheng Xiaoming has married the Yin family's legitimate daughter, they regard it as their own people. That's why this investment...

Of course, this investment seems to be quite large. In fact, it is just a drop in the bucket for these aristocratic families.

Next, they will look at Zheng Xiaoming's development and then decide whether to bet on investment!

Of course, eggs cannot be kept in a cage. Moreover, Zheng Xiaoming's status is too low and his strength is weak. Just a military Sima is still "fake".

With the lifting of the Party and the Filing, anyone with discerning eyes can see that the Yellow Turban is about to be finished.

At this time, seeing that the Han court was about to win, when would they have to wait until they didn't bet? So they came to invest.

Therefore, the great families of those aristocratic families also increased their investment in Nanyang prefect Qin Jie, which allowed his subordinates to grow rapidly.

The main reason is that Qin Jie is also from Nanyang and is also from his own family.

Of course, there were also some who defected to the powerful Jingzhou Governor Xu Yu, but not many of them defected to Zhu Yu!

It’s not because Zhu Ye’s reputation is not as good as Xu Ye and Qin Jie. Zhu Ye is now a general of the Central Army and is famous all over the world. However, he belongs to the guest army and is about to leave after the war. Of course, he can’t get much favor from local tyrants.

Another more important point is that Zhu Jun was a southerner. The wilderness of Jiangdong was always looked down upon by northerners. The darkness of the region has always existed from ancient times to the present.

What's more, Zhu Yan is from a poor family, which makes the powerful men of the Nanyang clan even more look down upon!

In short, the power of the Han army has been greatly enhanced now. The local powerful aristocratic tribes have sent troops to deliver food, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Han army.

On the contrary, the Yellow Turban Army was surrounded in Wancheng, but life was difficult and began to lack food.

In Wancheng City, there are at least 100,000 people in the city.

In such a huge city, the daily materials consumed are astronomical. Not to mention the consumption of food and grass, even the daily consumption of firewood is extremely large.

After a long time of siege, I soon started to make a fire without fuel and started cooking. I began to demolish the houses to make fuel.

Not to mention, there are other inconveniences.

The battlefield had been calm for more than ten days, and the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng could no longer sit still and were ready to break out.

Several times, they attacked the defenders outside the city gates, but were all defeated.

Then the Yellow Turban stopped moving, as if he was willing to die. Only Zheng Xiaoming felt something was wrong, and he had a premonition that there seemed to be some dangerous aura in the city.

He was looking at the completion that made him feel a little uneasy, and there was a messenger's order: "Mr. Marquis, the county will call you to go to the military agreement!"

Zheng Xiaoming nodded and headed towards the main business.

As the number of troops that have surrendered to it is becoming more and more than 10,000 troops after an expansion.

It can be seen that the number of troops under Qin Jie's men was not only restored in the last defeat, but also increased a lot.

Zheng Xiaoming entered the tent all the way, but did not see the commanders of other armies. Only Qin Jie was handling official duties in front of the table, coughing from time to time. Obviously, the damage suffered in the last battle did not completely recover.

He couldn't help but advise: "The county general needs to protect his body, and he must not be tired at this time!"

Qin Jie smiled and said, "I know my own body, it's okay!"

As he said that, the more he looked at Zheng Xiaoming, the more he felt liked it. Unfortunately, he had no daughter, otherwise he would have to marry him.

He said in his heart that it would be a pity for others to marry Yin to Zheng Xiaoming. However, Qin Jie felt that Yin’s vision of marrying a daughter was indeed brilliant. Zheng Xiaoming will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future.

So he smiled and said, "This county has not recommended Xiaolian this year. I wonder if Zheng Langqi is interested?"

Zheng Xiaoming almost blurted out: He didn't know how to write, and he was a filial and honest father.

But at least I held back, bowed seriously, and said, "Thank you, Lord!"

Qin Jie suddenly laughed when he heard this.

This filial piety and integrity is almost equivalent to a Jinshi in the later imperial examination era, and is the right path to becoming an official in today's officialdom.

Once he was elected as a filial and honest person, it would be almost the same as being admitted to the Jinshi in later generations, and would have a bright future in the future.

The future is much brighter than that of Sun Jian and Sun Wentai who rely on military merits to be promoted to an official (in the era of peace).

In later generations, the imperial examinations would be regarded as teachers by their own examiners and called them teachers, and they could not betrayed easily.

In this era, because there are fewer filial and honest places, a small county with a small population can only elect one, and a large population can elect two. Therefore, it is even more difficult to be elected. For the so-called master, he is even more a great benefactor.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was even a story about the lord who died, resigned from office and went to help his lord to return home... It has been a beautiful story in the world.

Therefore, the relationship between the filial and honest people who were elected by the boss was extremely close, and it was not even weaker than the effect of marriage.

How did the Yuan family in Runan become the largest family in the world now?

Isn’t it because the four generations and three ministers elected disciples and old officials spread all over the world? So a huge network of power was established?

The entire Henan and the south are all spheres of influence!

Compared with the aristocratic families in Nanyang, it is a bit far behind! Only the only thing left is to have some influence in Nanyang.

In short, now that the two of them have spoken out, they are about to establish a relationship where the boss is elected, so they naturally feel closer.

Qin Jie smiled and said, "I have sent the documents to the court to recommend you. Now is an extraordinary time. I guess the edict will be approved soon!"
Chapter completed!
