Chapter 224: Du Ming appeared
The internal strife in the dynasty has become like this, and it seems that life is even more difficult for the frontier wars. Originally, the ministers of the dynasty were still asking if the Tartars were going to come in and counted the time with trepidation, and then after receiving the report of the great victory that Wang Yuechao had snatched the border city back, they put their hearts down one by one.
At this time, in the eyes of these people, as long as Wang Yuechao is willing to lead the troops to fight, then the frontier will definitely be preserved. Therefore, these people began their own extravagant life again, so that no one cared about the supply of food and grass for the army.
I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional in the middle of the dynasty, it's not long since the last time the military rations were sent, and no one in the household department has sent the military rations anymore!
But every time he asked, Tobe Shangshu also cried with a bitter face. It's not that the household department doesn't give military rations, but it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. There is no money for this, so what is there to buy military rations!
This matter was originally a matter of importance, but after being hugged to the emperor, it was all lost in the sea, and there was no news at all. As a result, the soldiers at the border pass will face the situation of having no food to eat in half a month.
The Seventh Prince also went to activities for a long time openly and secretly, but in the end, he saw that the emperor only cared about the beauties sent in the past few days, and completely forgot about the government. Immediately angry, he could only hurry up his time to plan his own great cause.
The news of the lack of grain and grass soon reached Wang Yuechao's hands, and at this time, Wang Yuechao sneered and burned the letter.
Wang Yuechao didn't expect this dynasty to be full of loopholes in his eyes at all, but when he saw the generals of the dynasty who gave up the border pass so quickly, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
The plight of the frontier soldiers, the joy in the dynasty, and all the news of the recent situation are presented in front of Du Xiqing's eyes. The moment she came into contact with these news, Du Xiqing finally understood why Wang Yuechao had to rise up and resist.
This dynasty is like a big tree that has rotted from the roots, and at this time, in addition to the outer bark, the inside has already been gnawed by countless moths.
Even Du Xiqing, a woman, felt sad and angry that her dynasty actually had a dynasty. When they learned that there was a shortage of food in the frontier, Du Xiqing and Li Jinhong glanced at each other and understood that it was time for them and his wife to set off.
After fleeing back from the border city of wolf Bèi, Dzungar soon appeared on the border with a large army. However, Jungar is also cunning, never fighting the army of the Wang Yue Dynasty head-on, and acting like a bandit, often attacking the border villages by surprise, and quickly retreating after a large robbery.
Such a guerrilla battle gave Wang Yuechao a headache. There is a intention to divide the soldiers below to garrison each village, but in this way, if the Tartars concentrate their forces to attack one place, then the soldiers of this group will definitely not be able to escape the result of the annihilation of the whole army.
And what made Wang Yuechao's face even more ugly was that Zhungar seemed to know that his army was now short of food and grass, and almost all the food that could be taken away was scavenged in every village. There is nothing left.
As a result, not only is there not enough food for the army, but now even the people on the border are unable to fill their stomachs. Originally, Wang Yuechao took out some military rations and prepared to transfer these ordinary people to the nearest town not far from the border.
Who knew that these towns would close their gates and not let anyone in. As a result, the people who had no way to live have finally returned to their hometowns. Anyway, there is a place in my hometown where I can shelter from the wind and rain.
After Wang Yuechao learned of these news, he was so angry that he rushed to the martial arts field and waved his spear fiercely to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.
As a last resort, Wang Yue Dynasty could only gather all the people and food from all the villages on the border in one place, where the army was encamped, very close to the big village. Then arrange for the army to be stationed in rotation every day. At the same time, once the appearance of the Tartar is discovered, then it will be too late to rush from the barracks.
In this way, the harassment tactics of the Tartars were useless, but they did put a great burden on the army. After all, so many villagers also have to survive, and the collected food is indeed far from enough.
Wang Yuechao had already appropriated the army's grain in advance, but seeing that these grains and grasses were going down at a visible speed, Wang Yuechao had to hope that the Seventh Prince would quickly find a way to transport the grain and grass.
Only this time, the Seventh Prince was also helpless about grain and grass. The Seventh Prince himself had reserved a batch of grain and grass before, but it was only used for emergency purposes, and this part of the grain and grass was also a drop in the bucket for the army.
However, if the supply of grain and grass to the border army cannot be guaranteed, then the next qiē will become empty talk. Without military power, what can you do to overthrow this rotten dynasty.
Therefore, the forces of the Seventh Prince began to secretly purchase grain, but just after making a move, they found that all the grain had been booked in advance, so how could the Seventh Prince not be angry.
The Seventh Prince had an intuition that this qiē seemed to be pushed by an invisible hand all along. Of course, judging from the clues revealed in front of him, it seems that the ultimate goal of these big hands is to destroy this dynasty.
This result is not what the Seventh Prince wants, although the Seventh Prince has ambitions to be on that throne, but he does not want to inherit a dead country. Therefore, while the Seventh Prince asked people to hurry up to the Jiangnan area to buy rice and send it to the frontier, he also sent people to investigate this hidden force.
If it weren't for the border army to buy food this time, the Seventh Prince probably wouldn't have paid attention to this hidden force. Just as there are pros and cons to all, this discovery is not a pro.
On the border side, it's time to replace people stationed in the village today. While waiting for his comrades to come and take over, next to a thatched stack, a man with a thin figure but a cold meaning in his eyebrows frowned at this time.
I don't know why, the man always has a bad feeling. But it is the same to say what it is.
Staring at what seemed to be a bit of a big wind and sand in front of him, the man thought bitterly.
"Du Ming, it's about to change the guard! What are you doing with a sad face? A burly man came from the other side, shouting with a smile on his face.
"Nanzi, have you noticed that something seems to be wrong today!" Du Ming looked at the brother who came over, and then asked.
When the man named Nanzi heard this, he immediately smiled: "What's wrong, I see you, you must be missing your relatives too much!" ”R1152
