Daming One Piece

Chapter 103 General Mao (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
snow, very big.

Man, it's cold.

But more hungry!
In the snow flying all over the sky, in a few simple shacks, most of the people crowded in the shacks are lying down. What are they doing lying down?
It can save some energy and hold on for a while.

But in the end, he still had to come out. Although he was very hungry, Wu Mantun still came out.

so hungry!
The beating belly reminded Wu Mantun, reminded him that from yesterday to now he only drank a bowl of porridge, rice porridge.

The rare ones that can reflect people's shadows.

Although he was very hungry and had no strength in his legs, he still walked on the snow.

"I wish I could catch something..."

Wu Mantun said to himself.

Even if you catch a mouse and drink a mouthful of mouse soup, it can hang your life for a few more days.

"If someone starves to death in the past few days, it is estimated that they can still eat a few bites of meat."

When people are hungry, they can do anything.

In order to survive, cannibalism is nothing more than normal.

However, Wu Mantun hadn't eaten anyone yet. When they escaped from the Jurchen's village last month, each of them carried a hundred catties of grain on their backs.But those grains will always be eaten one day.

In order to survive, they only drank a bowl of porridge every day.

Facing the hunger now, he even regretted it a little. If the Jurchens hadn't been poisoned to death with puffer fish liver and they were still in Zhuangzi, although they ate a little better than cattle, at least they wouldn't be as hungry as they are now.

"If only I had brought out all the grain from the village..."

When they left Zhuangzi and escaped, each of them only carried a hundred catties of grain, which not only had to be saved to eat, but also to save the seeds for next spring.

In Tieshan, no one cares about their food, unless they are soldiers, but even if they are soldiers, the rations given are not enough.

In a snowy day, it is not easy to dig some food in the snow, but for Wu Mantun, who was born as a hunter, he has his own way. He has made a lot of tricks in the snow.

Seeing from a distance that a half-sized rabbit had frozen to death at the place where the cover was set up, Wu Mantun ran over excitedly.

"Rabbit! There is meat to eat today!"

There is meat to eat!

Although a rabbit weighs only a few kilograms, it is a rare delicacy for these hungry Liao people who fled to the country. After all, Tieshan is the same as most places where Liao people live, but anything that can be eaten Let them finish eating.

Those that fly in the sky, those that run on the ground, and even those that swim in the sea are eaten up.

After all, there are hundreds of thousands of Liao people who fled to North Korea because of the oppression of the later gold. Whether it is Iron Mountain or Phi Island, nothing can be grown in the desolate mountainous land.

Naturally, I can't eat enough.

"This soup is really delicious..."

While drinking the broth, Big Li couldn't help but said.

"If I could eat this meat every day, I would be willing to die."

"Big man Li, since the same is going to die, why did you escape here?"

"Hey, why did you escape here, kid?"

"Why? If the Hu people die, they won't be able to see their ancestors even if they die, but here they will starve to death. If they die of starvation, they are also Han people, and they will be able to see their ancestors..."

Being able to see his ancestors and the little hair protruding from the big guy's forehead, Big Li laughed.

"Yeah, put it on the commander's side, even if you die of starvation, you will still be able to see your ancestors..."

After finishing speaking, the big man suddenly sang softly.

"He Maomao, a pawn, met Xin'an City. His clothes were full of knots, and he had no soldiers in his hands. He said that he was a citizen of Liaoyang, and he had been trapped in the dust for several years. Ten thousand deaths escaped the tiger's mouth, and his name was Mao Shuai's mansion..."

……

It was late at night, and the lights were still flickering in Pidao's handsome mansion. Mao Wenlong, who was leaning over the case, picked up the official letter he had just drawn up again.

He has no food on hand!
After winter, there will be no boats coming to Phi Island. The current wind is going to Dengzhou. Even if Dengzhou brings him grain, he will have to wait until the southerly wind blows in March next year before the grain can be transported. come over.

But will Dengzhou send food over there?

"Hey!"

With a long sigh, Mao Wenlong's mood was extremely dull.

Since Yuan Keli resigned from office last year, the amount of food shipped from Dengzhou has become less and less. There is no food. Do we want everyone to starve to death here?
"...Shandong is red and rotten with millions of grains, and it is hoped to go boating in Denglai every day. The sea is vast and full of sails, and there are hundreds of human bones in ditches a day. There is no ladder for thousands of miles. Hungry. I am only a hungry soul in a foreign land today. How can I be wronged by the heavens. Let the blood and tears stain the clothes and skirts."

Mao Wenlong couldn't help shouting as he chanted the "Xin'an Infantry Song" composed by someone unknown.

"The princes in the mainland misunderstood me!"

"It was me that you mistook, and it was clearly Daming!"

Walking in the yard, Mao Wenlong said as he walked.

"Without food and grass, you let my soldiers in Dongjiang Town have the strength to fight, but if they don't have the strength, what to fight, isn't it just giving their heads to be chopped off?"

Mao Wenlong was walking back and forth in the snow like this, cursing as he walked.His face was full of anger, and when he was in a hurry, he even slapped the big tree in the yard fiercely. The snow that fell from the shock fell on his head, and the cold snowflakes fell on his neck. But flashing tears.

"what……"

After a roar from here, someone hurried over.

"Marshal, what's the matter, Marshal?"

Looking at the person coming, Mao Wenlong said angrily.

"More than a thousand people, more than a thousand people, more than a thousand people died of starvation yesterday, and today there may be so many people starved to death. Mingjue, you say, if this continues, before Jiannu attack me, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town will Wouldn't they starve to death?"

Looking at Wang Ruchun, Mao Wenlong sighed again.

"If they died with swords and axes in Jiannu, they still deserved to die, but now they are going to starve to death here, how can I be worthy of them? They defected to Mao to fight Jiannu and return to their hometown in Liaoyang, but now What? But I can only watch them starve to death!"

The general's words made Wang Ruchun's mood sink. It's not a secret that Dongjiang is about to run out of grain. Everyone knows that since two months ago, when the last batch of grain was only shipped to me at [-] shi, everyone knew , I don’t know how many people will starve to death this winter.

"Aren't you afraid of delaying state affairs by making things difficult for our soldiers and civilians in the Dongjiang River?"

As Mao Wenlong's aide, Wang Ruchun was of course very clear in his heart. He clearly knew that those so-called "subjects" and so-called courtiers were not afraid of delaying state affairs at all.

Wang Ruchun's words made Mao Wenlong annoyed.

"When have there been state affairs in their eyes? When have there been world affairs? What else will they do besides party struggle?"
