Chapter 34: Arriving at Shuilan City
"The dead must be compensated, and the family members must be comforted..."
"How to provide compensation? How to get the money? Who will get it?...Don't look at me, the Ministry of Household Affairs doesn't have it.. biqugev"
"... It's easy to deal with the dead people, but how to deal with the food and grass? The ground around Hangzhou has been scraped three feet away, and the grain seeds for spring plowing are gone. If we continue to reach out from the people, we can only kill people to make meat to supplement the army's food."
.......
It was noisy and noisy down there, like a food market. People were asking for money and asking for people. If they didn't answer a few words, they would just pull up their sleeves and start doing it with blushing faces. The woman who wanted to take control of the overall situation for the first time looked at her father's subordinates with a bitter expression. In the past, in his eyes, these people were very good in front of her father, but now she thinks too simply.
I can't hold it down.
"How about I say a few words?" Li Wenwen, dressed in a white robe, whispered.
Fang Ruyi saw the second senior brother of Jinyan Clan in her eyes. He had a stable outlook on the overall situation, was personable, and spoke well. When she saw the concerned look in his eyes, she felt a little awkward for some reason.
Shi Bao over there thought this man was pleasing to the eye, so he supported him.
"Well, tell me a few words." Fang Ruyi nodded, her face slightly feverish.
Li Wenwen made a reassuring gesture to her. When he walked to the steps, he looked at the commotion below and then made a voice. The voice was weak, but it still rang clearly in everyone's ears.
"Everyone, since you don't regard my three brothers and sisters as outsiders, can you please listen to my opinion?" From the perspective of an outsider, Li Wenwen reorganized the matter in front of the officials of the Yongle Dynasty and said: " In fact, things are not too bad. Everyone only saw the huge number of more than 100,000 troops, but they did not expect that there are still spare rations in the military camp. There must be no problem if they can last for a few days."
Seeing someone talking about business, some people originally wanted to stir things up, but when they saw Shi Bao standing there with a knife, they didn't dare to talk nonsense. Listen quietly as the young man above continues to speak. pb
"Yesterday in the daytime, I listened to His Majesty's words on the altar. The clerk had many emotions. We are all people of the world. We were all barefoot in the beginning. We were not afraid of anything. We risked our lives and chopped them with swords. The matter is done. But now that everyone has become rich and prosperous, they have become shoe-wearers. Once someone wears their shoes away, everyone's eyes will be red. When it is time to take the knife, they start to cherish themselves again... .”
"...The imperial army wants to overwhelm us, but we still have time. But if there is internal strife, we can kill ourselves without the imperial court coming over. We all came from nothing. We will grit our teeth and overcome this difficulty. Get through it and everything will clear up."
Below, Bao Daoyi and Lu Shinang, who were as stable as Mount Tai, closed their eyes and did not say a word. What the young man said had actually reached their hearts. They were now ashore. For the sake of the overall situation in front of them, they really should not continue to stir up trouble. .
"If we want to stabilize Hangzhou..." Lu Shinang said, "It's not impossible. If Fang Qifu immediately abandons Jiaxing City, plunders surrounding villages, and transports food back to Hangzhou, it can be temporarily relieved."
After all, Bao Daoyi has come ashore from the rivers and lakes to the court. Although he is a ****, he can't let it fall like this now. It will indeed take some time for the court's army to come down. At this time, he doesn't want to cause trouble. , otherwise even if Fang La is really seriously injured and bedridden, others will not make him feel better.
"There is indeed a path over the Seven Buddhas..." Bao Daoyi said: "Now that all the food and grass have been destroyed, you might as well borrow some from the Jianghu people in the city. Many of them are from various villages. From them Borrow some, explain the reasons, and you’ll be able to get some.”
"But if you can't get it, you might as well attack them. The imperial court is also famous for suppressing bandits."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lou Minzhong's figure suddenly appeared at the door of the palace. His head was bandaged with white silk, and his face was pale. He came over and glared at Bao Daoyi: "Is the teacher famous? If I don't come, this Ruyi baby will probably be killed by you. You have gone astray, and you have forgotten how our Yongle Dynasty started after only one day of cleansing yourself? Killing Comrade Lu Lin means cutting off one's own roots, do you know that?"
"I've seen the Prime Minister..."
"…. Prime Minister Lou is more knowledgeable."
…………..
The people below were whispering, and after figuring out the key, many people suddenly realized. When Bao Daoyi heard these words, his face could not help but turn blue and white. He was originally a gangster, and he didn't know many words. Although he was a little knowledgeable, when compared with Lou Minzhong of the same age, he was naturally better. Impenetrable place.
"I don't agree with the fact that the knife is pointed at the Jianghu people."
Shi Bao sat on the chair with the knife standing next to him. He said with an ominous look on his face: "After all, we are of the same lineage. How can we deal with ourselves in the future if we hurt Heqi? Almost everything that should be robbed in Hangzhou has been robbed. I Why don't you all tighten your belts a little more?"
When Shi Bao told the truth, everyone's faces became dull. On the day the city was broken, everyone went crazy, not to mention the people below. After breaking into the city, they killed people, set fires, raped women, and robbed everything. Now that they have robbed everything, they will encounter difficulties again. Looking back, I found that my group was still a little short-sighted.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves sounded outside the palace gate, and the letter came straight in. He handed over the urgent military information in his hand, and soon a palace guard presented the information to the side hall.
After Lou Minzhong read the letter, his vision almost went dark. His hands holding the letter trembled. At the end, the emotions welling up in his heart were probably indescribable.
"Fang Qifu was defeated... Only 10,000 of the 50,000 troops withdrew... Shezhou was also defeated, and the guard Chao Zhong was killed... The prince is leading his troops to stabilize the northern front... but I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on. how long….."
At this time, the people in the palace were also shocked after hearing the information, and fell into silence for an instant. Even Li Wenshu, who had been inspiring before, frowned and wanted to say something, but when his words reached his lips, they turned into a long silent sound.
Lou Minzhong tore the letter into pieces and scattered it in the air, "Surprisingly...it was so easy to be beaten down. A bunch of idiots. In the past, each of them screamed louder than anyone else, but now...now they are just a bunch of living jokes running around. .”
I was angry, now that what had happened, the barrier at the entrance to Shezhou had been lost, and the imperial army would be able to move south in a short time, now I had to think about what was going to happen next. After a while, the woman who was in charge of the overall situation finally spoke, She sighed: "There is a shortage of food in the city, and the attack on Shezhou and Jiaxing failed again. If we wait for the imperial army to encircle us, it is better to abandon Hangzhou now and exchange the mess here with the other side. We can go back and regroup and come back again."
"A woman's view."
What is the difference between asking the people below to vomit out the wealth that I have finally accumulated now, and holding a knife to their necks? This time, it is not only Bao Dao B and others who are unwilling, but they also know that the benefits of withdrawing from Hangzhou outweigh the disadvantages. Lou Minzhong was also extremely hesitant at this time.
They are willing to fight, defend, and even starve, but no one is willing to give up wealth and glory.
Isn't that what I've spent my whole life fighting and killing barefoot for?
.........
But then, at the end of May, early summer is approaching.
Wang Weizhong on the Shezhou side, Tong Guan's army who broke through Fang Tian's fixed defense line, and Wang Zhen and Wang Ziwu on the Jiaxing side surrounded and pressed against the precarious city of Hangzhou.
...........
Outside Hangzhou, a shabby little village.
"The things in Hangzhou are almost over. It went surprisingly smoothly."
In front of the map, Bai Ning drank tea and stared at the names of the cities. Then he put the tea cup back into Xiao Chenzi's hand and pointed to the path south of Hangzhou, "We are going to rob them here... "
The finger points to a place name: Dusongguan.
