"What, not enough food?"

Yang Feng shouted exaggeratedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The trouble he remembered was that the food supply brought about by the cut off of sea transportation after winter stopped, modern Qinhuangdao is indeed an ice-free port, but it is certainly not in this Xiaoice period, in fact, at this time, the Bohai Sea is not just as simple as freezing, it can seal Juehua Island to the land, you can imagine how cold the winter here is. And even if it can be navigated, with the change of wind direction, the southeast wind stops, and the shipping becomes very difficult, at this time the ship is all dependent on the wind, from the north of the Yangtze River to the south of the Shandong Peninsula is fine, after the Shandong Peninsula to Qinhuangdao, the winter can just sail against the northwest wind, in fact, the volume has begun to drop sharply.

What's more, even the fishing industry has to stop after the sea freezes.

During this time, the people fished for almost a quarter of their food needs.

"Not enough."

Li Yutian said very frankly.

He himself is also the head of the household department, and his main responsibility is to ensure the logistics supply, and it is his main responsibility to ensure the food security of the line.

"Isn't this year a bumper harvest?"

Yang Feng asked suspiciously.

"This year's immortal seeds that rely on Taizu's gift are indeed a bumper harvest, but Your Majesty, don't forget how many people you have brought from the south this year? And how many people came from Dengzhou and from the mountains? No matter how good the harvest is, the population will not be able to stand up to the population skyrocketing at such a rate! What's more, the vast majority of these people have no food at all, they all have to rely on government relief, and you are strictly forbidden to starve to death, and you have to let people eat enough, how much food do you have to consume on this day! The supply of grain in the south of the Yangtze River is limited, and you also know that the control area of the Tang Dynasty is actually shrinking day by day, and even the places in Jiangbei that are under the control of the imperial court are actually no one to pay grain to Nanjing, and Huguang, Guangzhou, and Guizhou have been destroyed by the war, and the two Guangzhou, Fujian, and Yunnan themselves are seriously short of food, and what they can rely on is actually the two provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and the small half of Nanzhili. They are also barely maintaining, and it is difficult to provide too much in this case, at least there is really not much hoarded here, even if we add our own harvest here, it is definitely not enough to feed the current population of more than one million people in eastern Hebei and western Liaoxi, or Your Majesty will ask Taizu to reward some more? ”

Li Yutian said.

"We can't just count on Taizu, we have to solve the problem ourselves."

Yang Feng said righteously.

"Then you can only go out and grab it."

Li Shoufu said very frankly.

"Where to grab it?"

Yang Feng asked.

"It's very simple, counterattack Zhili, I'm afraid it's still a little difficult to attack Beijing, but there should be no problem in attacking Tianjin, the rabble under Yuan Yuzong is estimated to run out with flowers and bullets, and the Tartars are transporting grain from all over the south through the canal to supply Beijing, let's go and rob them first."

Li Yutian said.

"But in this case, Dolgon doesn't have enough food and has to loot the people of Zhili, forget it, the people of Zhili are already hungry and cold, and we are afraid that we will starve to death if we toss like this!"

Yang Feng said.

If he robbed Dolgon's grain, the latter would definitely have to intensify the looting of the occupied areas to fill Beijing's mouths, which was originally supported by Jiangnan Caoyun, but now that Jiangnan Caoyun is gone, what will the tens of thousands of Eight Banners and Mongolian vassals, as well as hundreds of thousands of green battalions, and countless Beijing bureaucrats and their families take to feed? Dolgon can only strengthen the looting of the two places in Zhili Shandong, these two places are not rich, he has looted everything that can be looted, if it is robbed by the Ming army, it will definitely have to continue to loot, of course those gentry will not be hungry, but ordinary people are afraid that people are indispensable to starve to death.

"That won't be easy."

Li Shoufu said.

"What if you attack Liaodong?"

He continued.

He meant that we were going to rob the Manchu-controlled area in the northeast.

"Let's wait!"

Yang Feng said.

It's not that he doesn't have the ability to attack east of the Liao River, as long as Guangning takes it, there will be no Qing army west of the Liao River.

But the question is the consequences of doing so.

This will make the Ming army suffer huge casualties, he just didn't want to do this in the siege of Guangning, the city wall of Guangning wants to break through is very simple, but the street battle after the breakthrough is very troublesome, those Qing troops and banner people will definitely resist to the end and would rather die than surrender, anyway, surrendering them is also a dead end. Not to mention too much, as far as the tens of thousands of banner people in Guangning caused 10,000 or 20,000 casualties to the Ming army in the street battle, it is not too difficult, after all, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is not as good as the Qing army, and there are more than 10,000 main forces of the Qing army.

In the street fighting, whether it is his own combat effectiveness or the flowering bombs of the Ming army, the effect that can be played is limited.

But this was something that the Ming army could not afford.

After all, the total strength of the Ming army was only 140,000.

That's why he besieged.

Starve the people in the city to death in the way of siege, and according to the observation of this period of time, the defenders inside have begun to eat people, anyway, there are a large number of Korean slaves in the city, and the Qing army has no psychological burden to eat them, of course, they have no psychological burden even if they eat their own people. But after all, there are fewer and fewer people, and if you besiege it like this for a period of time, you will be exhausted, and then you won't have to worry about too many casualties if you launch the final attack, and this is Guangning, once you cross the Liao River and attack the core area of the Manchu Qing Dynasty east of the Liao River, you will definitely encounter the resistance of the whole people.

That's a big hole.

Yang Feng didn't think that the current Ming army was enough to fill this big hole.

"In that case, you'll have to rob someone else."

Li Yutian said.

It is said that Li Shoufu is now more and more like his fellow countryman, and the way to solve problems is always so simple and rude.

"Where else to grab?"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? There is still a group of people behind the Doctor Wulu Mountain. ”

Li Yutian said.

Yang Feng's eyes lit up immediately.

"Spread the decree, the Horqin Department is rebellious, aiding and abusive, conspiring with the Tartars in the Kouluo Pass, I will personally crusade against it, and it has nothing to do with other departments, if there is a conspirator with the Horqin Department, I will ask for it, and then send someone to Lulong to find Xihou, and let him transfer three thousand elite cavalry over, this autumn is high and the horse is fat, but it is a good season to fight the grass valley!"

His Majesty the Emperor said with a cruel smile.

He also almost forgot about the Monan tribes, Dolgon entered the army of the pass, but also included a large number of Mongolian princes including Da Yu'er and her fourth brother Manzhu Xili, and plus the reinforcements in the later period, at least 40,000 Mongolian troops are currently fighting in the pass, it can be said that the young and middle-aged are almost exhausted, and the rest are a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind, during this time, despite Jierharang's repeated requests, Korqin, Khalkha, Tumut, Karaqin and other departments did not send troops to relieve the siege of Guangning.

In fact, these bastards would prefer Quang Ninh to be taken by the Ming army.

They are attached to the Manchu Qing, and they are not loyal to the Manchu Qing, that Lin Dan Khan has only been dead for ten years, and they also don't like Guangning in the hands of the Qing army, a very important role of the city is used to suppress the Monan tribes, the Ming army seized Guangning, there is no threat to the Monan tribes, because the Ming army cannot have the time to manage them, but the city is in the hands of the Qing army, it is not a good thing for them.

But this does not prevent His Majesty the Emperor from raiding the house.

Especially the hometown of Da Yuer.

Those herdsmen have nothing else, cattle, sheep and livestock, isn't there not enough food in Damingxing?

Then let's eat meat instead!

Raid the house!

Destroy the door!

Rob a woman!

Grab the livestock!

Emperor Yang instantly felt that his life was happy.

Immediately after that, his holy decree was sent to Wu Sangui of Lulong, of course the governor of Wu raised his hands in favor, the young and strong people of the Horqin Department followed Dolgon in the pass to enjoy the blessings, and those who stayed in their hometown were nothing more than some old, weak, sick and disabled, and the emperor drove the expedition in person, so it was not the same as chopping melons and vegetables, what did you like to do as a soldier in these years? Isn't it just going out to fight grass valleys! Soon he sent his 3,000 slaves to Shanhaiguan, and the emperor personally led the north to return to Guangning, where he added 2,000 cavalry there, as well as a total of 5,500 cavalry of the Jinyi Guard, and slaughtered the Horqin Department in the north of Guangning.

Then Da Yu'er's relatives were unlucky.

"Burn it all, kill it all, rob it all!"

On the grassland of the front banner of the left wing of Horqin, Hu Shouliang, who had just been promoted to the chief soldier, brandished the Yanling knife and roared excitedly.

The huge torrent of cavalry in front of him drowned out the resistance of hundreds of Korqin cavalry like a tsunami, and then trampled these most loyal subjects of the Qing Dynasty under the hooves of their horses, and then flooded the small camp behind them with a majestic momentum, knocking them over and cutting them down in the frightened screams of the Korqin people, and by the way, some people picked up the woman who looked at her, and crossed the saddle in the smug laughter, as for what to rob and do.

General Hu cautiously peeked at His Majesty the Emperor.

His Majesty the Emperor......

His Majesty the Emperor is looking into the distance.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, it seems that the boundless Horqin grassland stretches out, a small silver river flows slowly, countless cattle and sheep by the river are leisurely gnawing on the golden pasture, and in the breeze, with the green fragrance from the Great Xing'an Mountains, His Majesty the Emperor at this moment even has an intoxicated expression on his face, and it is estimated that he is chasing his poems and the distance there!

Mr. Hu was relieved.

After all, this emperor is really a caring person who is a soldier, this is the real Holy Lord Mingjun!

He turned his head to look at his Mongolian soldiers, who were looking ahead with unquenchable longing on their faces, estimating that Genghis Khan's genes were boiling in their veins, and he couldn't wait to gallop like lightning like his ancestors, killing with the scimitar in his hand. Hu Shouliang scolded him with a smile, and then pointed forward with the Yanling knife in his hand, and then urged the war horse at the same time with his Mongolian soldiers, and rushed straight forward with a howl like a hungry wolf.
