Chapter 502: Plan Ahead

Ji Hu couldn't capture Heifenggang for a long time, and he was helpless in his heart. The other party could not hide according to the dangerous terrain, and the 300,000 troops could only stare at the bottom of the mountain. The artillery brought out has a limited amount of ammunition, and if it continues to bombard like this, it won't hit people's pain points at all, and I don't know how big it is in Heifeng Gang.

Not knowing the internal structure of the enemy, a random bombardment can only be a waste of shells. There was no threat to the enemy, and the gate of the cottage in Heifenggang was smashed countless times by the princess's people. As soon as Boss Chen saw this form, he simply didn't repair the cottage gate, and if he repaired it, he was still blown up by these people, so it was better not to repair it, and when these people were tired one day, Boss Chen was ready to repair the cottage gate.

Wang Tai and Tang Yu didn't dare to wander around Heifenggang, because the Black Flag Army had a musket team, but the imperial army did not, and Ji Hu had already passed the book to the emperor in this matter, and it was estimated that the emperor had already ordered someone to build it.

Artillery without muskets is still the same loss. The Black Flag Army moved flexibly with muskets, always taking advantage of Ji Hu's army to sneak attack when he was resting, and leaving immediately after the fight, killing dozens of soldiers every time, which made Ji Hu particularly depressed.

To deal with these small groups of sneak attack teams, you can't bombard them with cannons, this is a bit overkill, and what is even more infuriating is that the bow and crossbow shooting here is not as far as other people's muskets. Before the crossbowmen could shoot out, they were extinguished by the muskets of others, and now the crossbowmen did not dare to leak themselves out casually.

The musket is small, but it hurts. Every time I suck a tube of blood, I immediately run, which is very infuriating.

Tang Yu is about to go crazy with these people, he can't see or fight, and the martial arts on his body have not been played, so he can only wait stupidly for others to come and shoot him, who can reason with this. I feel that practicing martial arts is useless here, and people's musket teams are getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people.

But Ji Hu's people are getting fewer and fewer, and they have been in a state of consumption. The cannonballs brought over were almost finished, and Ji Hu was discussing with Wang Tai, Tang Yu and others what to do next? Although the emperor said that let him wait patiently and continue to consume the people of Heifenggang, the reality is that the people of Heifenggang are consuming their own team.

What's even worse is that the speed of grain and grass consumption on Ji Hu's side is too fast, and the daily consumption of grain and grass for a team of nearly 300,000 people is not a small number. Seeing the decrease in grain and grass day by day, Ji Hu was a little panicked, the grain transportation team of the imperial court, the march was very slow, the road was far away, if it rained, the delay was not a day or two.

Far water can't save the thirst, Ji Hu, as the commander of an army, must take the unknown consequences into account, otherwise these things will really happen at that time. Without a plan, the army will collapse in an instant, and people can do anything to eat.

The purpose of the soldiers here is to have enough food and military pay. If the salaries and food and grass are cut off, there is no possibility that this army will exist.

Ji Hu and Wang Tai discussed to let Wang Tai and Tang Yu suspend the attack on the Black Flag Army, let them go to Qingyun City to find Qingyun Yamen, and let these magistrates and local tyrants and squires help Ji Hu's army tide over the difficulties and give support and help in the army's grain and grass.

Ji Hu also understood that these local tyrants and squires were all monkey spirits, and if they didn't hold the seven inches of these people, it would be difficult for them to bleed.

What's more, the emperor is far away, Qingyun is far away from the capital, and the world here is the world of this group of local tyrants and squires, and the emperor's control over this side is not as good as these local tyrants and squires.

"Big brother, can these slippery heads of Qingyun help us?" Mrs. Wang said unconfidently

"This group of people cried poverty in front of the emperor every year, saying that the land in Qingyun was barren, and the people were too poor to pay taxes. We went and asked them for food, and they could give it? Tang Yu said

"In short, we can't sit still, the emperor's grain and grass supply, there are too many uncertainties, we must be ready to deal with and prepare, we can't act when something happens," Ji Hu said

"What the emperor generally promises, it won't affect anything, and it will definitely come if there is no accident," Tang Yu said

"The emperor naturally said the same, if the grain and grass meet a rainy day on the road, or meet bandits and bandits, then the grain will not be pit at all, and it may be delivered in time," Ji Hu said

"What the eldest brother said is also that man-made disasters can be prevented, natural disasters are really unpredictable, and we are currently prepared in advance, and we are also prepared, but how to let these local tyrants take out the food, this is the key", Mrs. Wang said

"Then I will lead the troops to arrest them, and they will definitely not dare not give them," Tang Yu said

"You bring the troops over, and people don't give it, if Qingyun City is as poor as the emperor said, what can you solve if you lead the troops over? Poor towns come out of the people, this sentence should still be paid attention to. Ji Hu said

"Diao Min was directly arrested and killed, and he made an example, I don't believe that anyone dares not to listen," Tang Yu said

"You are tyranny, and the people will hate you even more in the future," Ji Hu said

"That's not going to work, that's not going to work, what the hell is going to work?" Tang Yu said

"You better learn from Wang too much, you kid is reckless", Ji Hu said helplessly

Ji Hu is also from the common people, so he naturally knows the suffering of the people, and the people will not rebel until they can't get by, and those who can rebel are because they can't survive. At this moment, if the government sends troops to suppress it, it will not solve the fundamental problem, and there will be more and more people who may rebel in the future.

After Tang Yu was a famous general, he grew up with a golden key in his mouth, so he naturally didn't know the hard life of the people. Therefore, troops will be sent to suppress the people at every turn, and they do not care about the lives of the people.

And Wang Taiyi and Ji Hu are also from the common people, and their views are consistent with Ji Hu's. And Tang Yu is the emperor's person, and Ji Hu is worried that something will happen to Tang Yu.

If something happened to Tang Yu, he wouldn't be able to explain to the emperor when he went back, and he wouldn't be able to explain to the old general.

After all, the old general is kind to herself, she is such a son, and she has not reported her grandson yet, although no matter what, Tang Yu can't have an accident.

Ji Hu arranged Wang Tai by Tang Yu's side, the purpose was to protect Tang Yu, only in this way could Ji Hu feel at ease. Mrs. Wang is a confidant cultivated by Ji Hu, he naturally understands Ji Hu's heart, so he treats Tang Yu to protect him wholeheartedly.

But Tang Yu loves face, and it is very difficult for Mrs. Wang, in order to take care of Tang Yu's face, she is careful every time, and she is afraid of hurting Tang Yu's self-esteem.

Mrs. Wang is good to Tang Yu, and Tang Yu will naturally not be bad to Tang Yu, this thing is very righteous, saying that if he is good to him, he will take his life to get along with others. So Mrs. Wang is Tang Yu's best friend and brother in the barracks.
