- When the food stored in Guaizi City was mentioned, everyone in the meeting fell silent.
Yes, even though they broke out from the battle at Yehuling, this does not mean that they can survive.
Not to mention the Jurchen army outside Guaizi City, the food problem in Guaizi City is a fatal problem for them.
With more than 30,000 remaining soldiers and defeated generals, they need to consume a lot of food every day.
Not to mention the thousands of people in Guaizi City, they also need food to survive.
People who have never been to the Ming Dynasty don¡¯t know that during this period, the people of the Ming Dynasty basically did not have much food at home. Each family only has twenty or thirty kilograms of grain, which they buy after eating.
Even in modern society, it is impossible for anyone to keep hundreds of kilograms of food at home. The same was true here in the Ming Dynasty. If this were the case, how many days would the people be able to eat food?
Because of the war, the merchants in the city had already run away.
As the merchants left, they also took away all the food in the city.
? Then it is a big problem that the people have no food.
This is not the most fatal thing.
The 30,000-strong army was defeated in the battle at Yehuling, and a lot of grain was abandoned at Yehuling.
This is the key to death.
The army broke out all the way. Under such circumstances, who would care about those things.
It was only after arriving in Guaizi City that everyone discovered this important issue.
However, after they had only been stationed in Guaizi City for half a day, they were surrounded by the Jurchens' elite cavalry outside the city. The Jurchens didn't even give them any time to react, putting the army at a complete disadvantage.
There were too many wounded in the army, and Yang Fengyi did not want to abandon them.
If Yang Fengyi had been more ruthless, he would have been out of danger long ago by leaving these wounded behind.
After all, with these wounded soldiers, the army cannot move too fast. In particular, the Jurchens who were chasing were all cavalry, which was even more incomparable.
It is precisely for this reason that Yang Fengyi led the remaining defeated generals into Guaizi City.
However, it was precisely because of Yang Fengyi's intolerance and sharing the joys and sorrows with everyone that the generals and soldiers who followed him to Guaizi City were very grateful to him.
But, gratitude cannot be eaten as food.
The wounded need medicine, especially in this cold winter.
In addition to medicines, they also need more clothing to keep out the cold, as well as food to fill their stomachs and strengthen their bodies.
But these are all what Yang Fengyi and the others lack.
"The army only has enough food for three days. After three days, we will run out of food. By then there won't be a grain of rice left." Yang Fengyi said this fact with a painful expression. "I think the Jurchens who came outside the city also know about this, and Yehuling and the others will definitely find the food and baggage we discarded. Anyone who leads the army will guess our current situation based on this if he is not an idiot."
Everyone agrees with what Yang Fengyi said.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????? Most of the people here are people who have been soldiers in Liaodong for more than ten years.
" And the Jurchens were led by Huang Taiji, a smart guy this time. I think he would definitely not neglect this aspect.
Don¡¯t say it¡¯s Huang Taiji.
As for the Jurchens, as long as they have a flag leader or an officer leading the army, they are all smart people.
So just like what Governor Yang Fengyi said, how could the Jurchens in the outer city of Guaizi City not understand.
"I estimate that the Jurchens outside the city will not have the intention to attack the city within three days. They will wait until we run out of food and are too hungry to have any strength before they start to attack the city. I am not guessing, because if I am a Jurchen general, so I will do the same."
Yang Fengyi scanned the generals carefully.
"Sir! If that's the case, what else do we have to think about. It's just death here in Kidnapping City. Instead of starving to death here and being killed like dogs by the Jurchens, why don't we fight to the death and maybe there will be someone else? There¡¯s a way to survive.¡±
The tall officer who first suggested a fight with the Jurchens made the suggestion again at this time.
Yes, instead of just waiting to die, why not give it a try with the Jurchens.
If you don¡¯t fight, you will die!
But if you fight hard, you can find a way out of nowhere.
A dog will jump over the wall when he is anxious, let alone a living person.The 30,000 remaining soldiers in Guaizi City were defeated, although 40 to 50% of them were wounded.
But if we reorganize it, we can select seven or eight thousand capable soldiers.
There were 12,000 Jurchens outside the city, but they were scattered around the city, blocking the city gates on all sides.
If they were to specialize, they would only have to deal with more than 3,000 people.
Seven or eight thousand versus three or four thousand, this battle is not going to be fought without success.
However, there are too many factors to consider in this regard.
First, what to do with the other injured people in the city?
If seven or eight thousand people are selected to break out of the encirclement, it will be clear that other soldiers will be abandoned.
"Once someone makes trouble, if everyone can't suppress it, it will cause a big mess."
A mutiny is not impossible.
Even if this did not happen, the Jurchens are all cavalry. If they specialize in one side, the Jurchens on the other three sides can also rush to help quickly.
" Seven to eight thousand infantry fighting against more than 10,000 cavalry is still a bit mysterious.
unless¡¡
It¡¯s not that there¡¯s no way around it, it¡¯s just that some things can¡¯t be explained so clearly.
"The people sitting here are not fools. They know that there are some things they cannot say. If they say it, they will definitely be able to talk about it for a lifetime.
Yang Fengyi also knew this, and he had thought of it.
So, he remained silent.
"Which battalion are you a general in?"
After a moment of silence, Yang Fengyi asked which military attach¨¦ made the suggestion.
The military attach¨¦ quickly stood up, knelt on one knee and responded: "Xiaguan Yuan Zuoying Colonel Wu Sangui!"¡ª¡ª
Dividing line¡ª¡ª
"Your Highness, have you heard?"
Lying in his newly bought six-entry mansion, Zhao Hongyu looked at the busy servants coming in and out of the yard from the recliner, feeling very comfortable in his heart.
Mrs. Wang bowed to his side and spoke to him in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Hongyu moved the copper heater in his arms. He now enjoys the life of Master Ming very much. He looks at that charming maid every day. She is so beautiful.
Of course, he just looked at it for fun and had no other thoughts.
After all, he has to go to Sarah¡¯s place every night to pay for the ¡°public food¡±, and he really doesn¡¯t have much energy to mess with other women.
What¡¯s more, there is Emma who is eyeing her.
With two women around him, Zhao Hongyu felt a little overwhelmed. If he finds a few more, he will be exploited.
??Sara is a European, and her physical fitness is hard to say.
??Especially at the age of thirty like a wolf Alas!
So, in the mansion that Zhao Hongyu bought in the capital, although he bought a lot of outstanding-looking maids, he really didn't have the intention to have anything to do with these maids.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhao Hongyu lay there and glanced at Mrs. Wang who was bowing down.
This guy went out early in the morning, and when he came back, he found himself with a mysterious look on his face.
"Your Highness, the news has spread outside. Everything in Liaodong is in chaos. I heard that the governor of Liaodong, Yang Fengyi, was defeated in Yehuling, which led to the 120,000 Jurchen army to cause chaos in Liaodong. At the same time, there were tens of thousands of Jurchens. The cavalry broke through Liaodong and headed straight for the capital."
What!
After Zhao Hongyu heard what Master Wang said, he immediately sat up from the recliner.
Mrs. Wang quickly raised the backrest of the recliner to make Zhao Hongyu sit more comfortably.
"I've been in the house these past few days and haven't gone out at all. It's hard to have such a few comfortable days and be able to take some time off, so I don't know about this." This news shocked Zhao Hongyu Incessantly.
Of course, in addition to shock, there are also surprises.
Because he never thought that the Jurchens would break through Liaodong at this time and direct their troops to the capital.
In his mind, it would take several years for this to happen.
"However, it doesn't look like Master Wang is telling lies, and it's impossible for him to make up lies on this issue.
Then, this must be true.
"Your Highness, I didn't believe this at first. But now it has spread all over the capital, and people are panicking. And many big businessmen have packed up and left the capital."
Mrs. Wang went out early in the morning not to play, but to inquire about this matter.
In fact, he heard about this three days ago, but he didn't know if it was true at the time. He was afraid that someone would make it up, so he didn't tell Zhao Hongyu.
"However, Zhao Hongyu is very concerned about matters in Liaodong, and Master Wang also knows this.
Since he followed Zhao Hongyu, Master Wang has devoted himself to trying to figure out Zhao Hongyu's thoughts, in order to do something well and repay Zhao Hongyu for saving his life twice.
Since His Highness cares about Liaodong affairs, Master Wang will always inquire about Liaodong affairs from time to time when he is outside.
Now this matter has attracted Master Wang¡¯s attention.
In addition to the fact that Zhao Hongyu cares about things in Liaodong, if this news is true, it will also have a great impact on the group of people living here in the capital waiting to meet the Ming Emperor.
Because if the Jurchens really arrive at the capital, what will they do?
"Where did you get this news?"
Zhao Hongyu¡¯s expression became solemn.
¡°Maybe he also took this aspect into consideration, so Zhao Hongyu also took it seriously.
"We are next door to the Minister of War, and I got the news from his housekeeper."
The steward of the Minister of War?
Zhao Hongyu glanced at Mrs. Wang.
"How did you get in touch with the steward of the Minister of War?"
Zhao Hongyu had never expected Master Wang¡¯s ability. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!) - Didn't finish reading?
