Chapter 92 [Hungry Stomach]
Therefore, the political envoy of Zuo Bu in the west of the Ming River: Mo Tong, hurriedly sent an order to the Ming Ping thief general: Zuo Liangyu, quickly led the army south to counterattack the thief army, this time the Ming Ping thief general did not refuse like last time after receiving the order! Because Yuanzhou Mansion has a large amount of supplies to replenish the army! Therefore, the thief general of Mingping readily agreed, and quickly went south to Yuanzhou Mansion to advance with ten red-clothed cannons and six extra-large Franky cannons, until he came to the rear of the thief army.
The artillerymen of the Ming Zuojia army quickly opened fire to bombard the thief army, and disrupted the purpose of the thief's march with a cavalry charge, and the thieves who were attacked immediately reacted to the military governor of the Western Army: Feng Shuangli, and hurriedly sent a letter to the king of the west to explain the situation.
After receiving the letter, the king of the west heard that it was Zuo Liangyu's army? He began to think about the plan in his heart, he knew that the Zuo army was particularly fond of robbery, so he wanted to use this opportunity to let the Zuo army offend the people in Yuanzhou Mansion, so as to prepare for the next attack, and it could be regarded as selling a favor to the Ming Ping thief general, and when the decision was made, the king of the west ordered the whole army to retreat 30 miles back and camp.
This move alarmed the soldiers of the Zuojia Army in the rear, and as soon as they saw the thieves retreating? Do you think you're afraid of them? Without much thought, he obeyed the orders of General Mingping and rushed into Yuanzhou Mansion, and began their crazy robbery mode, causing the people in the city to be miserable!
At this time, the prefect of Ming Yuanzhou in the city: Wang Jianshan, as soon as he heard the soldiers report that the Zuojia army had entered the city, he hurriedly arranged for the officials and people to escape from the back city to temporarily avoid the edge, and the generals of the Zuojia army who swarmed first went straight to the mansion of the rich merchants in the city, and asked for money and grain without saying a word, and in order to cover up the evidence of the crime, he declared to the rich merchants that he had come to collect money and grain to fight against the thieves.
The lower-level officers don't care so much, they go directly to the houses to rob the food they see, and rape and kill them when they see beautiful women! It made Yuanzhou Mansion full of chickens and dogs! Many mansions were looted by the Zuo family's army, and the arrogant and domineering Zuo family army generals also asked the rich merchants for their daughters as concubines, which soon caused great dissatisfaction among the rich businessmen.
Several wealthy merchants organized their families to discuss with the generals of the Zuojia Army to abolish the matter, but when they were refused, the rich merchants were angry and took their families to fight with the generals of the Zuojia Army, but they were shot by the Ming army gunners one by one, and the daughters of the eight wealthy merchants in the city were dragged into the camp and ravaged by the soldiers!
Because the Zuo army was too tyrannical, the local soldiers and civilians wrote letters to the government to complain, and the prefect of Ming Yuan Prefecture also heard a little about the atrocities of the Zuo army? Together, they complied with the will of the people, and successively sent ten folds to the imperial court to ask for a change of troops, and the herald quickly went north from the official road to the imperial capital with an envelope.
On the 4th of November, among the three protagonists walking in Ningxia Weixiajiabao, Ma Wei opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Liu, where are we going now?" Liu Ruilin, who was at a loss, raised his head and looked ahead and said, "At the moment, we don't have much dry food!" And there is not much entanglement, so you can only find someone to defect to first? ”
But Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei were not familiar with each other in the Ming Empire, and they had no acquaintances, so they could only shake their heads and answer, "Neither of us know each other!" Don't know who to go to? ”
At this moment, Liu Ruilin felt that he was really cornered! Remembering the friends we used to play with? He said: "With Brother Wu and Brother Ma, if you don't dislike it, why don't you go to Yan'an Mansion with me and join my childhood playmate?" But Mavi said, "Can you still find him now?" Liu Ruilin replied, "It should be possible, right?" His family is a well-known family in Liugou Fort. In this way, the three of them embarked on a trip to Yan'an Mansion.
At the same time, the Rakshasa people on the south bank of the Huma River have been living here for a while, and the previous grain was basically eaten, and now they can only grab food from the Daur people every day to eat, but the number of Daur people scattered in the dense forest is not large, resulting in the food supply of the Rakshasa people.
In desperation, the Tsarist Yakutsk Overseer did not want to go hungry, so he took the Tsarist Cossack soldiers out hunting, he looked at the sparsely populated Naveen Forest area, where there are many plants and beautiful scenery, the most important thing is that the scene is open, basically there are few peaks in some plains, after choosing the location, the craftsmen and a dozen Tsarist axemen were left to guard the prisoners, and the rest of the people stepped into this forest under the leadership of the Tsarist Yakutsk Overseer.
There are many wild animals living in the Naveen forest with abundant water and grass, including elk, hares, pheasants, Siberian tigers, etc., and the Rakshasas first saw the purple phoenix and the peace bird in the dense forest (chirping) bird calls, which made the hungry Rakshasa people listen and quickly say, "Rakshasa language: Why don't we hunt wild birds to eat?" ”
But this was immediately opposed by the Yakutsk overseers of Tsarist Russia, who scolded: "Rakshasa language: stupid! How big is this bird? Not enough for one person? Find some big animals. The scolded soldier had no choice but to move on in search of the animals, and then entered the small hillside area, and a rakshasa man was a little anxious and went to the side of the stone to make it easier.
At this time, I suddenly saw a wild Siberian tiger foraging under the big tree in the distance, the Rakshasa people were startled and hurriedly took a few steps back to report the situation, everyone heard that there was a Siberian tiger appeared at first shocked, but then thought that it was better to try than to be hungry, as long as the Siberian tiger was killed, you can have a full meal.
So a few bold Rakshasa people stood up as the vanguard of killing the tiger, they quietly approached the Siberian Tiger to prevent it from escaping, the Rakshasa people took a multi-person attack around the surroundings, the two sides were separated by 100 meters to facilitate shooting, and when the location of the Siberian Tiger was confirmed, the Tsarist Russian firecrackers raised their guns and prepared to shoot.
But unfortunately, two Tsarist musketeers were too hungry to shake their hands, and accidentally pulled the trigger (bang, bang) Two lead bullets went out with the smoke, which instantly alarmed the foraging Siberian tigers, only to see it quickly pounce on the lurking Tsarist firecrackers, and the rest of the Tsarist firecrackers began to shoot when they panicked.
How could the Siberian tiger run flexibly and couldn't hit it at all, but let it jump out of the grass, and immediately pressed down a Tsarist Russian firecracker, biting his neck, and died on the spot, just as the Tsarist Russian firecracker next to him was about to load, the Siberian tiger roared!
Scared the hungry and powerless Rakshasa back twenty meters, the Yakutsk Overseers of Tsarist Russia wanted to draw their sabers and come forward, but they were stopped by the soldiers and persuaded them, "Rakshasa language: The Overseer must not be in command!" The Siberian tiger is nimble and ferocious, and if it can't kill with one blow, it will be counterattacked. ”
Sure enough, a Russian firecracker was so bold that he picked up an axe and slashed at the Siberian tiger, and then heard a scream (ah!). Ah~) Everyone looked over one after another, only to see the face of the Tsarist Russian firecracker pressed under the claws of the Siberian tiger had been bitten beyond recognition!
Seeing that they could not take this Siberian tiger and were afraid of hurting the soldiers, the Yakutsk overseers of Tsarist Russia could only order a retreat, and after returning to their place of residence, they continued to capture a few villagers and ask them for food, and the Daur people were afraid of being killed, so they handed over a few fish to fool them, and the hungry Rakshasas saw the fish strung with ropes, and rushed up to cook and eat them.
Having said that, some Rakshasas still roast directly with the fire, just half of the roast smelled a little fragrant and began a new round of scramble, basically grabbing the fish and eating it, whether it was cooked or not, just a blink of an eye, the fish was eaten by the hungry Rakshasas, and when the Yakutsk overseers of Tsarist Russia came over, only the fish bones were left on the ground.
Angry, he kicked down several soldiers on the spot and scolded: "Rakshasa language: Who made you eat so fast? Don't even leave a little for me to eat? I don't think you want to live anymore? The Russian Cossack soldiers hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Rakshasa language: Don't be the overseer commander!" We know it's wrong! Let the Daur people go catch some fish to grill, right? ”
At this time, the Russian interpreter asked the villagers to catch fish, but the Daur people said that the fish in this area were very scarce! Basically, they are hiding in the ice cave and refusing to come out, if you want to fight, you have to go to a farther river, the Tsarist Yakutsk overseer was very angry when he heard this, and instantly pulled out his knife and slashed three Daur tribesmen and scolded, "Rakshasa language: Damn the guy!" What is the use of you? ”
Seeing the corpses of the slain Daur people, the Rakshasas who had not eaten enough next to them were a little uneasy, they thought to themselves; Since there is nothing to eat! Then these corpses can also be eaten at once, and the Russian Cossack soldiers work together to roast the corpses on the fire to feast on the feast.
At the same time, the soldiers in Anding County, Yan'an Prefecture caused dysentery! In order to prevent the rogue from taking the opportunity to sneak attack, I want to investigate whether the nearby flooding is polluted? Mingliugou General Soldier: Wang Shiguo, Mingliugou Staff General: Wang Shiqin, these two brothers plan to take this opportunity to go back to Yanmeiling in Anding County to visit relatives, and by the way, check the problem of water sources.
On the way back, I encountered the plague in the nearby villages, which were plagued by rats and even the wilted weeds in the fields.
In order to avoid infection with the epidemic, the general soldier of Mingliugou ordered the soldiers to march quickly, just arrived at Yanmeiling, and after walking for half a pillar of incense, the soldiers came to the entrance of the village with the boundary monument, and saw the Ming soldiers who fled and said that there was a rogue army in the direction of Anding County? In order to defend the city, the general army of Mingliugou hurriedly turned around and went south to Anding County to fight against the Liukou.
At this time, Ansai County in Yan'an Prefecture had been broken by the Shun army, and most of the houses in the city were also burned down! The soldiers of the Shun army who entered the city began to loot food everywhere, and the king of Xinshun, in order to occupy Yan'an Mansion as soon as possible, waved his army north to attack Anding County, in an attempt to cut off any reinforcements around Fushi County, the capital of Yan'an Prefecture.
The Shun army just walked to the outside of Anding County, and happened to meet with the Ming Liugou general army who went south to rescue, the soldiers on both sides immediately launched an offensive posture, the Shun army with two red-coated cannons aimed at the Ming army formation and bombed, the Ming Liugou general soldier saw this and was worried that he could not be able to defeat the more numerous rogues, so he let the Ming artillery battalion be responsible for covering, and the rest of the Ming army retreated to Yulin Wei, ready to ask for the protection of Yulin Wei Qin Army Iron Cavalry.
