Chapter 214: The Empty City (Second Update, Ask for Subscription, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
It took two days for Wu Sangui's army to recover.
Although diarrhea does not hurt the muscles and bones, it is also very tormenting.
Wu Sangui's army had a sallow face from top to bottom, as if it was dehydrated.
Wu Sangui vowed that if he found the person who had been drugged, he would definitely peel and cramp it and make it into a scarecrow!
It is certainly not a coincidence that so many soldiers have diarrhea at the same time, someone must be secretly causing it.
To Wu Sangui's surprise, when he ordered his army to begin the siege, he found that the city was empty.
At first, he thought that the Ming army was planning to empty the city, but after repeated confirmation, he could be sure that there was really no one in the city!
Wu Sangui couldn't help but be overjoyed.
It is naturally a great joy to be able to take Kunming without losing a single soldier.
These soldiers of this family are Wu Sangui's heart, and if one dies, there will be one less, so it is naturally very important to preserve them.
But when Wu Sangui rode into the city triumphantly on a tall horse, he was dumbfounded.
The city was deserted, not only did there be no army, but there were no people!
Wu Sangui thought that the people were afraid of the army and hiding, so he ordered his subordinates to scatter around the city and knock on the door from door to door.
Wu Sangui was greatly surprised by the results obtained, there was really no one!
People go to the city empty, and it is empty!
If it was a fort, he could still understand it, but a big city was evacuated so cleanly, and it was the first time Wu Sangui had lived for so long.
Wu Sangui had a bad premonition in his heart.
He hurriedly ordered people to go to the city to inquire, and sure enough, there was not even a grain of rice left in the granary!
Wu Sangui hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched.
"The thief deceives people too much!"
He had nowhere to vent his anger, and his whole body was about to faint.
There were no people, no food, and the Ming army left him with a completely empty city!
What is the use of such a city? Do you want to be angry with yourself?
What made Wu Sangui feel even more troubled was that Yunnan was mostly mountainous terrain, and if the Ming army did not go far, they could have hid in the deep mountains and old forests to fight guerrillas with them.
Every now and then I go down the mountain and stab me, it's really sour.
Wu Sangui couldn't stand this toss. He came to Yunnan to enjoy happiness, not to suffer!
Moreover, an empty city, Wu Sangui cares who collects taxes?
No one pays for food, who will feed this army?
When he was in Guizhou, Wu Sangui could condone his subordinates to loot wantonly, after all, it was the territory of Hong Chengchou's old horseman. He snatched it and patted his ass and left, just leave the mess to Hong Chengchou.
But now that Wu Sangui wants to run Yunnan, he has to treat it as his own territory.
You can't do things like killing chickens and taking eggs, and fishing with all your might.
Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, how can Wu Sangui not understand this truth?
But he must find a way to get money and food, otherwise after a long time, the army's morale will be unstable, and his foundation will be scattered.
Wu Sangui thought about it and decided to suppress the bandits and rob the bandits.
However, Wu Sangui is not too good in his heart, this place in Yunnan is too poor, I am afraid that there is no surplus food in the thief's house, right?
At this moment, Wu Sangui felt in a trance that he had made a wrong decision to attack Yunnan, and now he was already in a deep quagmire.
But the decision I made myself had to be done with tears to the end.
Now Wu Sangui has no way back, and he must go all the way to the dark.
"Qianguo Gong, over the mountain in front of you is the boundary of Sichuan."
Feng Shuangli successfully transferred the military and civilians from Yunnan, and the heart that was about to enter Sichuan could finally be put down.
At first, only the people of Kunming followed them, and gradually the people of the prefectures and counties in northern Yunnan also >> one after another
Join.
Of course, this is due to the prestige of Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qianguo, and these people naturally want to follow when they hear that the Duke of Qianguo is leaving.
If Feng Shuangli evacuated by himself, it would definitely not be like this.
"King Qingyang, after thinking about it, I still think that I should leave some manpower. One is to monitor the movements of the Wu thief, and we can know as soon as there is a disturbance. Second, it can make Wu thief jealous and dare not act too recklessly. ”
Mu Tianbo paused and said, "Of course, this is just a partial division, not the main force." I don't know what King Qingyang wants? ”
I have to say that what Mu Tianbo said has some truth, but what makes Feng Shuangli a little embarrassed is who to choose to stay.
Who doesn't want to evacuate to Sichuan to live a comfortable life, who wants to stay in this mountain and live in precariousness all day long?
Feng Shuangli sighed and said, "Otherwise, this king ordered people to preach it throughout the army to see if anyone volunteered to stay." ”
Feng Shuanglijue's initiative will not be too many people to stay, and he will not force it.
That's it.
Seeing Feng Shuangli's non-negotiable look, Mu Tianbo didn't want to fight, so he nodded lightly and said, "That's very good." ”
Feng Shuangli then ordered his own soldiers to announce it.
Sure enough, as he expected, there were not many people who responded positively, and gradually some sparse soldiers stood up.
"Lord Wang, I'm willing to stay!"
"Your Highness, please let me stay!"
Feng Shuangli still felt a little relieved.
At least someone is willing to sacrifice and not blindly follow the crowd.
"It's all good!"
Feng Shuangli had nothing to reward these soldiers, so he left them enough food to eat for half a year and some firecrackers.
The rest is up to them.
Sichuan, Chengdu.
Wen An let out one or two exclamations while looking at the newspaper sent from the front.
Your Majesty is really wise and powerful, and he actually recovered Wuchang so quickly.
The king of Yanping and Zhang Benbing also marched all the way to take Nanjing.
The situation in Daming is improving, and it is no longer the state that can only be held on to before.
Wen Anzhi is happy in his heart.
Huguang is the granary of the world, and with food, the army can be expanded.
Wen Anzhi no longer has to worry about raising food and grass. Although potatoes are a strong sense of satiety, the whole person is a little bloated after eating too much.
On the march to war, it is necessary to ensure the energy of the soldiers.
It's better to eat rice noodles.
In addition, the Son of Heaven also specially wrote a letter to communicate with Wen Anzhi.
In the letter, the Son of Heaven said that he would stay in Wuchang for a period of time in the future.
Although Wuchang is the land of four wars, the Son of Heaven is fearless.
On the contrary, when the Son of Heaven is there, the Ming army can maintain an absolutely strong fighting spirit.
Wen Anyi was very opposed to this at first, but now that he is used to it, he will not force it.
The Son of Heaven instructed Wen Anzhi to assist the prince well, and it was best to let the prince handle some government affairs independently.
This is not to help the seedlings, but to let Zhu Cixuan gradually adapt to the role of the prince.
Now that the situation of the Ming army needs to stretch the battle line, it needs people from Wuchang and Chengdu.
Zhu Youlang is in Wuchang, and Zhu Cixuan is in Chengdu.
Naturally, this distribution is very appropriate.
Wen Anzhi naturally has no opinion on this.
He was also worried that the Son of Heaven would be jealous of the prince's friendship with civil and military forces to seize power, and he would not dare to give power to the prince.
The Son of Heaven can do this, and Wen An's heart is very relieved.
