Chapter 117: Total War

In the final analysis, the food and grass in the army is not unlimited. The pen, the fun and the pavilion each prepared a month's worth of grain and grass for www.biquge.info, which was all prepared for entering Shenyang. But as soon as they arrived in Liaoyang, half of them were divided into resettlement refugees, and the army was naturally in urgent need of food and grass.

Those who are ignorant think that the army will be able to smoothly settle the people.

But a cursory estimate of the number of refugees shows that the army will not be supplied with unlimited food. Naturally, someone will pay attention to the rations of the soldiers.

The soldiers' rations were abundant.

Not only will there be dry food such as light bread, but as soon as the camping conditions improve, there will be meat ready to come. There are even dried fruits for vitamin supplements. In short, the logistics standards of the Ming army in Zhu Cihong's era were very high. With such a high standard of logistics, it is natural that some soldiers may take excess rations, or even deduct some of their own, and exchange them with those refugee women......

As for what is exchanged, lonely men and widows, there is no need to say more.

It is said that what can be done with food,

"Our situation is very serious...... Zhu Cihong glanced at it, rubbed his head, and said, "Ni Aiqing, you go and send someone to ask me how the preparations are going at Yingkou." When the people from the Ministry of Industry arrive, the things that Li Aiqing personally supervises should not disappoint me......"

……

"Hahaha, so that Zhu Cihong is a hypocrite who sells his reputation!" The Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang laughed, and in the humble palace of Hetuala, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang called the important ministers of the court to share this rare good news: "At this time, Shengjing is already an empty city. But what? That Zhu Cihong didn't dare to go further! What does this mean? It shows that the opponent in front of us is a coward who can only be a woman! Such an opponent, tell the mourning family, can't you beat it? ”

"Beat it!"

"Beat it!"

"Beat it!"

……

The crowd chanted in unison.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang was pleased. She looked at Dai Shan and said, "How is it, Prince Li, how is it, how is the morale of the army during this time?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, morale can be used. Now that the grain and grass are abundant, the treasury is abundant in silver, and the soldiers are eager to fight with the Ming people and regain the territory of the Qing Dynasty! Dai Shan said proudly.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang said, "Okay! Prince Li, in this battle, you will fight for my Qing Lord. At that time, Emperor Taizu was able to defeat the extremely prosperous Ming Kingdom in the Battle of Salhu. Now, the Ming people are dragging down the grain and grass, and they are all playing with women, such an enemy is already a proud soldier who will be defeated! ”

"Yes! Subordinates understand! Dai Shan smiled.

……

In the barracks.

Dai Shan was anxious about the generals.

A cadre is in the confrontation. The fierce general of the Qing Dynasty, Ao Bai, looked slightly confused.

For his part, he was not familiar with any of those intrigues. He prefers things that go straight to the point. For example, fighting a war charge.

However, in order to retain the few strong forces of the Ming Dynasty under the command of Aobai, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang sent three envoys in a row to withdraw the Aobai Department from Haizhou.

Seeing that the land wheel was reoccupied by the Ming people, Ao Bai could only vent his anger on the innocent Han people.

After the venting of anger, there is boundless self-doubt.

Aobai, suddenly I couldn't see the future of the Qing Dynasty clearly.

"Bow down! In this battle, you are the general of the Qing Dynasty for me, and you are the yellow flag! Dai Shan's eyes burned and he looked at Aobai.

Facing Dai Shan's gaze, Ao Bai cheered up.

Yellow flag!

This is the flag from which Ao was born, and being able to return to his own flag to serve as the solid mountain Ezhen with the yellow flag is something that many people dream of. Now, let Ao Bai do it.

Thinking of this, Ao Bai cheered up and said loudly: "The last general will take orders!" ”

"Hahaha!" When Dai Shan heard this, he ordered the generals of the various ministries one by one, looked south, and said, "I'm really looking forward to it...... Zhu Cihong, who is obsessed with the kindness of women, how to meet the iron hooves of the old man! ”

"Gentlemen, the war in Liaodong is not only a military struggle, but also a full-scale war with Jiannu. Warfare in all spheres, including politics, military, economy, and culture. So you can see that the enemy has done everything they can, they have destroyed the city defenses of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and taken away all the food of the people. The men were almost wiped out, and the women, children, and the elderly, who had been burdened with heavy burdens, were forced to embark on such a field of all-out warfare. For this, it is all the more necessary for all of us to be on the same page. This is not only a time to test our military literacy, but also a time to test the discipline of our tens of millions of officers and soldiers. The ministries conveyed orders to strictly restrain the barracks, and civil affairs personnel had already rushed in from the rear. The first batch of civil affairs personnel accompanying the army has been transferred to the ranks, and we will never give up on our compatriots in Liaodong. This is not only my promise, but also the reason why we will win! ”

In his mind, the flying eagle echoed the will of His Majesty the Emperor, but when his eyes fell on the people in front of him, he couldn't help but show a suspicious gaze: "Everyone, it is the people who rushed over from Liaoyang...... Civil affairs colleagues? I don't know, who is the chief, can you test the seal with me? ”

In front of him, there was a group of energetic young people. There were many young people in the army of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with the army that could not recruit soldiers before, after continuous reduction and selection of the best, all the armies and departments of the Ming Dynasty are excellent young people.

However, no matter how young you are, when you have some training in the army and roll back on the training ground, you will also bring some military temperament. In other words, it is no longer immature, no longer young and simple.

However, these young people in front of them have a different temperament. The colleagues in the army who are very different from the flying eagles have a more simple and childish atmosphere. From the outside, most of the soldiers who have traveled thousands of miles are dusty and tired. However, these people in front of him turned out to be small fresh meat, creamy and raw. Not only are they dressed beautifully, but they are also paying attention to their clothes, which looks quite elegant and has a good image.

Such a first impression really made Feiying a little suspicious.

Everyone saw a sense of distrust in the eyes of this brocade guard officer.

When everyone who was still elated saw this, their faces were a little stiff. However, everyone listened to Feiying ask about the chief, thought about it, and then turned their eyes to the middle person.

Seeing that man, the flying eagle's head grew even bigger.

I only heard a crisp and pleasant voice and remembered: "This time, I heard that the Privy Council had recruited colleagues to rescue refugees, so I enthusiastically signed up." Student Wu Qiaoer, who was nominated by all the students, is the leader of the group of the students this time. This is a letter of appointment issued by the Privy Council, which is for the colleague to examine. ”

That's right, this time the army set out, and along the way there were not only troops, but also people from all walks of life. There are merchants who follow the expedition of the army all the way, intending to do a small business on top of logistics and supplies. There are also scholars who tried to make suggestions and suggestions under the aura of the royal driver's personal expedition, and once won the attention of the Son of Heaven, and even those who were originally bandits and bandits in Liaodong also came to surrender. In this way, it is not unusual for there to be some students from the Jingshi University Hall here.

After all, with the popularity of Zhu Cilang, the emperor. He announced that he would conquer Liaodong and restore my homeland, which was already explosive news. In particular, Zhu Cilang published such an impassioned text on the Temple of Heaven, which was even more appealing to the students' appetite.

The enthusiastic students embarked on the road of Liaodong.

The most positive is Wu Qiaoer, who heard Zhu Cilang's speech on the Temple of Heaven.

"That's right, the accusation is there, and there is something offended. I am a hundred households in Jinyiwei Liaodong, codenamed Feiying, you call me by my real name, Xiongwen Gang. This time, he returned from the secret front to the local Jinyi Guard, responsible for handing over the refugees. I really don't know ...... you How do you plan to get started? Xiongwen just said, and suddenly he was a little lacking in confidence.

He looked at the sunny students in front of him, who didn't seem to know the cruelty of war at all, and was naturally quite skeptical. However, as an intelligence agency, it is obviously wrong for Jinyiwei to have been interfering in the affairs of refugees, and it is only right to hand it over. But in the same way, Xiong Wengang really doubted whether these young people could cope with it. After all, it was the lives of tens of thousands of people.

However, just like what Zhu Cilang said just now.

Xiong Wengang recalled Zhu Cilang's words in his heart.

This is an all-out war in all areas......

In such a war, not only the soldiers entered the battlefield, but also agreed, the Ming compatriots in various fields fought as one, and it was their duty to do so.

"Our intentions...... It's a relay south! When Wu Qiao'er talked about business, her eyes burned.

……

"Who says women are inferior to men? As long as the sisters are willing to support themselves, how is it different from men? "Shenyang Chengnanli Prince's Mansion. This was once the residence of Daishan. When Jiannu decided to abandon all this and leave, a riot broke out in the city, and countless people who had received news from all corners rushed into the palace, trying to rob everything that was still valuable in exchange for food.

Without the perverted order maintained by Jiannu and the loss of food, the order in the city collapsed, and a dark riot swept the whole place.

This terrible state of affairs did not end until three days later, when Xiong Wengang recruited 300 remaining males to maintain order in the city through the food stored by the Jinyi Guard.

Xiong Wengang led people to open the south gate of Shenyang, and put the grain urgently transported from Liaoyang to Prince Li's mansion for storage. Relying on force, the Jinyi Guard began to maintain the continuity of the city. Because Prince Li's Mansion has Ming rescue food, it has naturally become the center of Shenyang.

Offstage, Huang Qi, who was helping to maintain order, scratched his head and looked at a man wearing a long shirt and a military coat next to him, and poured: "Liu Shubao, you say, what can this little girl do?" Is it really that simple enough to survive tens of thousands of refugees in the city? ”

Liu Shubao snorted coldly, he heard the suspicion in Huang Qi's eyes, and after thinking about it, he was actually not happy himself: "We did a good job, but let this little girl come over to pick peaches." ”

Saying this, Huang Qi shook his head: "You just wrote too many chapters in the bookbag, you haven't been to Qinjiapo in the south of the city." What was once a good hill is now a mass grave. There are dead people thrown into it every day, and Hong Er's team has recruited a group of strong women in the past few days, but they haven't done anything else, and they are busy enough to pick up the corpses on the road and throw them over every day. ”

"Hey, while I'm no longer there for a while, you're talking about me behind my back?" The person who was called Feed Hongji said and walked out.

Everyone laughed, and Huang Qi said, "I didn't say that you weren't." And since thou hast come, speak with thou hast spoken to whom? ”

"If you want me to say...... This woman, if you can't keep it, you can do better than us......" Hong Er touched his head: "I heard that in the three towers in the west of the city, a simple house has been built, which is waiting for them to go all the way south......"

"Sisters! It doesn't matter if the men are dead, if you can't rely on men, you can rely on yourself! Rely on your own hands to earn food for your parents and children! Wu Qiao'er's words sounded unsurprising to later generations. But in this era, it is shocking, not only Huang Qi and others have changed color for it, but also many women in the audience have been in an uproar and have a lot of discussions.

"How can this be done?"

"Really, not lying?"

"It's too bad that the military disaster is enough, and I ran out to show my face, why rely on my own hands...... How does this work? ”

"It doesn't matter what it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. As long as I can earn a bite to eat for the baby, I will do it! But in this messy world, there is a mouthful of porridge hanging from the big guy in the audience, where else to find a livelihood? ”

……

All kinds of words were spoken, some unbelieving, some doubting, some frightened.

But this world has forced people to a dead end. More people looked at Wu Qiao'er with hope.

Wu Qiao'er was out of breath, her voice was a little hoarse, she shouted at the highest volume, and shouted: "Our Da Ming, I didn't give up on you!" This time, I came here to give everyone a way out! Anyone who is willing to find a way to live with me, follow me! ”

Hulala, in the small square of thousands of people, more than half of them suddenly left, and nearly 600 people ran over without hesitation. Even if there is nothing left, they are also asking what it is like and whether they can really earn food.

Soon, their results were clear.

On the side of the straight official road leading to the three towers in the west of the city in Shenyang City, a long and endless small mound of earth was quietly piled up, and another group of civil affairs personnel who signed up with the military students took women to cut down big trees into the river, and then scooped them up again to process the sleepers of the city one by one. When it comes to movements, it is even faster than Wu Qiao'er.

On that day, this was the order that had been arranged.

At this moment, Wu Qiao'er pointed to the open space in front of her and said, "In the three tower shops, Da Ming has prepared the houses, the covers, and the most important ...... Grain! After laying the railroad tracks in advance, we rested in Baitapu, and we could eat enough food every day and distribute food! ”

……

"From the three towers to the south, in turn is Xingwen Fort, Hongshan Station...... All the way to Liaoyang, these are endless plains, and it is easiest to build an emergency railway. Regardless of the quality and service life of the emergency military railway, it should be repaired and built immediately, so as not to waste this batch of valuable labor! Zhu Cilang said in the military intelligence theater and sighed: "I have always thought that women are not laborers, what an absurd view. True, perhaps men are more competent in the face of manual labor. But this time, I believe...... All will be different! (To be continued.) )
