Yang Zhengqi watched the little tiger girl fall asleep sweetly, and his mood was very complicated.

What a hard-working child, born in troubled times.

When he went out before, he saw a notice posted that all the food in the city had been taken away by the government and sufficient for military rations.

It's like a bolt from the blue!

Yang Zhengqi now regrets that he didn't buy a batch at a high price, and now he can't buy it even if he wants to.

Out of food... Out of food!

The government is forcing everyone to a dead end!

The Ming army besieged Chongqing and did not know how long it would last.

If it drags on for a long time, even if the government finally holds Chongqing, most of the ordinary people like Yang Zhengqi will have to starve to death.

It's so hard to live in troubled times!

Do you want to force everyone to gnaw on the bark?

Yang Zhengqi shook his head, stepped forward to tuck the quilt for Hu Niu, sighed and turned his head away.

For the sake of his daughter, he had to get some food anyway!

…

…

"Did you hear that? The grain has been taken away by the government, and now there is not a single grain of grain in the city of Chongqing. ”

"So terrible? Brother, who did you listen to? ”

"Don't you need to hear about this, the notices are almost all over the city."

"What is the intention of the government to do this, isn't it chaotic that people's hearts will be confused?"

"What is this? Isn't it just that I don't sell you food? Doesn't that just make you hungry? There's a lot more ruthless than that. ”

"Tell me about it?"

"Does the new will know? Guangdong Xinhui! At the beginning, the Ming army besieged Xinhui, and the Qing army defending the city ran out of food, so the guard ordered to kill the people in the city and use their flesh and blood as military food! Shengsheng supported it for half a year. ”

"Shhhh Human flesh? ”

"It's a big deal, human life in troubled times is like mustard, what's wrong with eating human flesh. There is no difference between humans and livestock. Those officers and soldiers were later rewarded by the imperial court, saying that they had meritorious service in defending the land! ”

"Ah, and this, it's too, it's too appalling."

"Having said so much, can this Chongqing be held? When the time comes, you won't kill us as military rations, will you? ”

"It's hard to say, if the Ming army can't attack for a long time, it's good to take the initiative to retreat. If the Ming army insists on not leaving... Alas, most of the people of that city were miserable. ”

"Then we're just going to die?"

"What else would you do? It was wartime, and the whole city was under martial law. Even if you want to, you can't run away. Do you still want to resist? ”

"Then hide, the Qing army is eating people, and they have to find people first, maybe they will be full after eating others, and they won't eat me anymore."

In a house in the south of the city, several friends kept talking.

The notices posted by Wang Henian were very realistic, and even imitated the seal used by the government.

Of course, the people didn't know the authenticity of this seal, and they were angry for a while after reading the contents.

Thinking of the black history of the Qing army, this sense of anger is even stronger.

The Qing army wants to live, and the people don't want to die.

On weekdays, they are obedient because they still have the most basic thoughts.

Now that the Qing army is going to cut off their last thoughts, the people will naturally stop doing it.

Some chose to protest in a silent way.

Some chose to stand up and fight back and give the Qing army some color.

Overnight, fires broke out in many parts of the city, and the fire spread so much that it even burned down a government office.

Governor Gao Minzhan was furious when he got the news.

These people are really hateful, and they even openly rebelled in wartime and challenged the authority of the government.

What's even worse is the one who secretly spreads rumors.

Gao Minzhan had read the notice, and the person who wrote the notice was very familiar with the basic routines of the government, and there should be a ghost in the yamen and colluded with Diao Min.

But what are they doing it for?

Simply revenge on the government?

Gao Minzhan felt unlikely.

This does not have much benefit to them, and who wants to do things that harm others and themselves?

After thinking about it, Gao Minzhan felt that these people were likely to be the hidden stakes of the Ming army.

They pretended to be the government and posted notices in order to create chaos in the city, so that they could cooperate with the Ming army to attack the city.

Of course, what these people say is not all slander.

Gao Minzhan did think about collecting the city's grain for unified transfer, but unfortunately he was one step late.

When he was about to give the order, he found that there was no food left in the city market!

It's obvious that someone is doing something!

Gao Minzhan naturally couldn't ignore this.

While he ordered his henchmen to investigate the matter, he must dig out this troublemaker.

On the other hand, Gao Minzhan personally visited the city to inspect the defensive situation.

He did so reluctantly, at the risk of being hit by stray arrows and artillery.

If it weren't for Wang Mingde's strong dissuasion, Gao Minzhan really didn't want to do it!

After landing at the top of the city, Gao Minzhan found that the situation was even worse than he imagined!

The Ming army's naval division filled up almost all the river surface, and from time to time a cannon bombarded it, and the gravel of the battlements flew one after another.

Gao Minzhan was so frightened that he quickly hid in the city tower, and even called the Ming army murderous.

In the past, the Ming army also came to attack Chongqing many times. Even the most ferocious one last year was not as oppressive as this one.

Gao Minzhan only felt that the Ming army's attack was very orderly and rhythmic, and the artillery fire was round after round, which made people breathless.

It seems that the Ming army is here and is bound to win Chongqing!

"Resist, resist Ben! The Ming army is a bunch of fancy, so don't be afraid! ”

Gao Minzhan mustered up the courage to lecture the soldiers defending the city, and then fled down the city in a hurry.

He's not going to go to town again, anyway!

…

…

In the Ming army, Zhu Youlang carefully observed the battle situation.

According to the plan, the first round of the Ming army will suppress the fire on the city.

The Qing army may return fire with artillery, but the firepower is not of the same level at all.

After a round of artillery bombardment, the Ming army could use this break to launch an offensive against Watergate.

Of course, Zhu Youlang would not think that the Ming army would be able to break through in one fell swoop, but he must use this opportunity to explore some experience.

This is the first time Zhu Youlang has seen the scene of the attack on Shuicheng, which is both novel and a little excited.

"Your Majesty, our army has cut off all river roads, and now Chongqing is a dead city."

Wen Anzhi said in a deep voice.

According to him, it has now reached the stage of stalemate, and the Ming army must do everything on the periphery.

Including cutting off shipping lanes, etc.

In this way, even if the Qing army in Chongqing wanted to escape, there was no chance at all.

"Well, we still can't drag it out, we have to break the city before the reinforcements arrive."

Of course, Zhu Youlang didn't know what was happening in Chongqing now, and he only felt that there was no advantage in dragging down the grain and grass of the Ming army.

What's more, Hong Chengchou from Guizhou may rush to the aid at any time, and it is the best policy to break the city quickly.

"Your Majesty's words are extremely true. King Jin is already ordering people to build a pontoon bridge. ”

Zhu Youlang looked in the direction pointed by Wen Anzhi, and saw that the Ming army really used small boats and bamboo rafts to build a simple pontoon bridge, and he was a little curious.

"What is this pontoon bridge for?"
