Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 10 Extreme Operation, You Are Just a [-]
"My dear friends, follow me to patrol the city."

Li Cunming decided to further understand the situation in Ningling County. Since he wanted to prepare for the war, he must know himself and the enemy before he could come up with a comprehensive and detailed countermeasure.

Accompanied by officials, I walked all the way to watch and listen to Liu Dacai's report.

"The county's original registered households were 35 and 28 households, and now 320 households have died; the original number of people was 450, and the number of escaped deceased is now 790. According to the count, the county has decent banks, new, and The old and Lian three rates totaled 53 and five taels of silver, Caomi 680 shi, Liao rice and beans totaled 840 shi, Cangmi [-] and eight shi, and Lumi [-] and two shi.”

In a word, we need people without people, and we need food and food.

In Li Cunming's view, money and food came second. When he strangled treacherous officials and tortured and robbed food and money, he gained a lot and his pockets were bulging.

Even if the queen and the prince took away 1000 million taels of silver, 4000 bolts of cloth, and ten carts of grain and grass when they left, Li Cunming still had more than 20 million taels of silver and about [-] shi of grain left.

"Food and money are not a problem. What I care about is the guarding force and weapons and equipment in the city. County magistrate Liu, please introduce it in detail."

Liu Dacai said: "There are 300 soldiers in the lower city, with simple equipment and scarce firearms. There are more than 60 three-eyed firecrackers, ten catapults, several bows and arrows, and long knives. Each of the four city gates has a big general's cannon. .Other than that, there are no extra weapons and equipment."

hiss!
Li Cunming gasped, suffering from a toothache.

Seeing the emperor frowning tightly, Liu Dacai gave a wry smile like self-deprecating, and found some words to comfort the emperor:

"It's ridiculous to say that, thanks to Xu Dingguo leading troops to attack Ningling twice and three times during this period, the soldiers in the city have been tempered after several fierce battles, and their morale is good!"

Li Cunming knew Liu Dacai's intentions, so he forced a smile and said, "As long as the morale is available! Let's go to the tower to have a look."

Ningling County is only a small city, but its strategic position is very high. It borders Suizhou and Kaifeng on the west, and Xuzhou on the east.

The city wall has two layers, inside and outside. The inside is made of rammed earth and the outside is made of bricks and stones. It is five feet wide and six feet high. It is not a problem for more than ten people to walk side by side.

Looking at the city as a whole, the entire Ningling County is in the shape of a "convex" with four gates in total.The moat under the city is about three feet wide, which is a good barrier.

No wonder Liu Dacai was able to repel Xu Dingguo's 300 troops many times with just over 2000 soldiers!
Li Cunming held on to the parapet wall and looked far into the distance, only seeing the vastness of the surrounding fields, and suddenly felt heroic and generous.

He turned his head slowly, and said to the ministers: "With this fortified city, we can still fight!"

All the ministers said in unison: "The ministers and others swear to defend Ningling to the death!"

According to the characteristics and talents of the courtiers around him, Li Cunming ordered: "Jiang Dejing, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and you are good at managing money. I will entrust you with the supply and distribution of food and wages. You must plan carefully. Maybe we have to fight the rebels." A protracted battle."

"Li Banghua, I have promoted you to be a cabinet scholar. You once served as Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. You are good at managing the army. You will discuss with Liu Wenbing and Liu Dacai the strategy of defending the city, make corresponding subordinates, and rectify and repair the defense equipment."

"Gong Yonggu, continue to send spies to investigate the enemy's situation. In addition, issue an imperial edict to Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, and Huang Degong, ordering them to rush to Ningling to fight."

After saying that, he stopped staying and hurried back to the county government office, and couldn't wait to get into the east wing of the back hall.

According to the news brought back by someone sent by Zhou Yuji, there were about [-] soldiers and horses chasing the rebels this time. Li Guo and Gao Yigong were the vanguard and took Shangqiu directly, while Liu Fangliang led the troops to approach Kaifeng. The two groups of soldiers and horses formed a pincer shape. The trend of double-teaming and attacking.

The marching speed of these two groups of bandits was different from Ningling. Among them, the Zhongzhen Battalion led by Li Guo and Gao Yigong had [-] troops. They marched very fast and were eager to make contributions. They would arrive at the city within ten days at the latest.

On Li Cunming's side, he was full of plans, and he could gather at most 1 horses, including [-] Jinyiwei, [-] young and strong eunuchs, and [-] bandit men who had just been subdued.

Not to mention the number of people at a disadvantage, what troubled Li Cunming the most was the lack of weapons!
Without weapons, should the soldiers be allowed to stand on the city wall and launch offensive attacks, or chant sutras and Buddhas to the enemy?

So Li Cunming hurried back to the county office and hid alone, just to ask the system for help.

"System, I want to sign in."

"Ding, congratulations to host Ning Ling for successfully signing in and getting 5 hot air balloons."

hot air balloon?Li Cunming was a little messy.

He waved his hand into the air: "I want to sign in repeatedly, father of the system, can you reward me with something useful? I'm going to war, the kind that fights with real guns and live ammunition."

"It has been detected that the host has a positive emotion value of 74814 and a negative emotion value of 25100, which emotion value should I use to log in again?" The system was unmoved, and the notification sound was still cold.

Li Cunming suddenly had a second thought. He still hasn't figured out the difference between repeated check-ins with positive and negative emotional values, so he asked.

"The rewards for signing in with positive emotions are related to your own development, and the rewards for signing in with negative emotions can generally be used to deal with enemies, but please note that the rewards are all random."

So that's the case, since it's a battle with the enemy, it seems that you can only sign in with negative emotion points.

Every time you spend 8000 negative emotion points, you can sign in again. Li Cunming signed in three times in one go, and the rewards are pretty good.

For the first time, get 400 trebuchets;
For the second time, get 6000 steel wheel mines;
For the third time, 200 tiger squat guns and 500 shells were obtained.

"It still feels like it's not enough..." Li Cunming felt unwilling and decided to try his luck, "System, I have to spend 4000 positive emotion points to sign in again."

"Ding, the corresponding emotional value has been deducted, and 30000 pieces of gauze have been obtained."

"Gauze...gauze!" Li Cunming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The system is thoughtful, the gauze is ready, there will always be someone who needs to bandage the wound in a war.

Li Cunming didn't want to continue wasting his emotional value, so he gave up.

He rubbed his chin, paced around the room, and muttered, "I can only make do with it. With such a small force, the system is stingy. This is forcing me to play extreme operations!"

"Hey, landmines! The Ming Dynasty can produce many types of landmines, some of which are easier to produce than steel wheel mines. It just so happens that I brought the craftsmen from the Armament Bureau and the Gunpowder Bureau of Wang Gong Factory, and there is no shortage of gunpowder. Well, I'm going to summon the artisans!"

With this in mind, he ran out excitedly.

But they ran into Chen Yuanyuan at the door, and the two bumped into each other. Chen Yuanyuan cried out "pain" tenderly, and threw herself into Li Cunming's arms.

Li Cunming was in a good mood because he thought of summoning craftsmen to make simple landmines and solve the problem of weapon scarcity. He said with a smirk: "Hey, I'm starting to throw myself into my arms! Little lady, don't be in a hurry, I'm very busy, and there will be more in the future." Chance."

"Bah!" Chen Yuanyuan spat, and hurriedly broke free from Li Cunming's arms, feeling ashamed and angry.

Li Cunming walked down the steps to the courtyard, but heard Chen Yuanyuan say "Hey" behind him and turned to look at her.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at Li Cunming provocatively and said, "I heard that bandit soldiers are coming to attack Ningling, why don't you continue to flee to Nanjing?"

"Are you concerned about my safety?"

"I just don't quite understand how a foolish king like you, who is greedy for life and fears death, would have the guts to confront the army head-on!"

Only then did Li Cunming realize that this little girl was mocking and ridiculing him!
Just as he was about to retort, at this moment, the system prompt sounded: "Ding, get Wu Sangui's negative emotion value of 250."

Wu Sangui is outside Shanhaiguan, far away from Ninglingtian, why did he suddenly gain his emotional value?

Li Cunming instantly understood that after so many days, Zhang Jinyan's letter to Wu Sangui should have been delivered.Most likely Wu Sangui was reading the letter at this time, so I got negative emotion points from him.

250, what a fucking interesting number!
Li Cunming looked at Chen Yuanyuan, couldn't help laughing out loud, bent down and hugged his stomach.

"You're crazy, what's so funny?" Chen Yuanyuan was at a loss.

Li Cunming stopped laughing, his eyes changed, full of pity and pity.

"You... why are you looking at me like that?" Chen Yuanyuan was even more confused.

"Poor thing, you regard Wu Sangui as a hero of the world, but in his heart, you are just a two hundred and five!"

It seems that it is all deceitful nonsense made up by the ancient literati. It is unexpected that Chen Yuanyuan has such a light weight in Wu Sangui's heart.

In this way, Wu Sangui's surrender to the Qing Dynasty in history was not for Chen Yuanyuan!

At this moment, Li Cunming really felt that Chen Yuanyuan was the most pitiful woman in the world and the biggest fool in the world.

Chen Yuanyuan was so angry that she stamped her feet: "You are talking nonsense, you are a fool who only slanders good people!"

Li Cunming walked up to Chen Yuanyuan step by step, raised her chin, stared into her eyes, and said coldly:
"Don't argue with me, and be patient and look back. The fox will always show its tail. Everyone in the county has something to do and is busy these days. You are so good at arguing, why don't you help strengthen the city wall?"

"Also, if you call me the faint king again and again in the future, I will spank your ass!"

As he spoke, he slapped Chen Yuanyuan's buttocks with a slap, and walked away.
