Chapter 876 The Groom of the Night
Receiving the information that the Heavenly Mandate Army was attacking the city, Gao Mingheng was surprised, could it be that the Heavenly Mandate Army took advantage of the Ming Army's heavy casualties outside the city to start a large-scale siege of the city?
How long can this soldier in the city resist?
Gao Mingheng returned to Xicheng, where he was responsible for guarding, only to find that the number of people attacking the city by the Mandate of Heaven was not large, and they did not use the troublesome rifles and artillery.
If it was just a siege of this scale, the officers and soldiers would be able to hold out for a while!
However, his frowning brows did not stretch at all, there is no problem with the city defense for the time being, the key is food, without food, what do the soldiers eat?
The rich merchants in the city had already borrowed money, so should they be forced to donate food? The rumors in the city were already tense, in case they aroused their resentment......
As for the Zhou Palace...... Soon came out of King Zhou's mansion, and now I want King Zhou to take out money and food, I'm afraid it's not realistic!
The Mandate of Heaven army only attacked the city for two days, and seeing that it was difficult to break the city for a while, they withdrew their troops back to their original camp and continued to carry out the goal of "besieging" the city far from the city wall.
The people in the city saw that the Mandate of Heaven army had gone far away, so they gathered at the city gate and asked to go out of the city to dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
Gao Mingheng knew that many people in the city had run out of food, and they could only wait for death if they stayed in the city, so according to his temperament, he simply released these people out of the city and used them to consume the food of the Mandate of Heaven Army, and if the Mandate of Heaven Army ran out of food, it would automatically withdraw the army.
But the order to close the city gates and not allow the people to go out of the city to dig wild vegetables was given by him himself, and it was only a few days, and it was to be abolished.
More and more people gathered at the city gate, and the crowd was excited, and the slightest carelessness could lead to a popular uprising.
Gao Mingheng changed into civilian clothes, secretly observed the time of a pillar of incense, and knew that the situation was critical, he didn't dare to come forward, but just sent an order to the soldiers guarding the city:
It is okay to go out of the city to dig wild vegetables, but only the elderly, women and children who have no ability to defend the city, and the young and strong are not allowed to go out of the city; The people who go out of the city must be people who have been deprived of food at home; You can only go out of the city through the south gate, and no more than five hundred people per day, and you must return to the city before dark.
The soldiers put up notices, and the hungry people finally gave birth to a glimmer of hope, and tens of thousands of people flocked to the south gate, and the other four gates were quiet.
However, only 500 people were allowed to leave the city every day, which was too little, and the people gathered at the city gate took turns to go out of the city once, and it would take 100 days, but could these people, who were almost completely starved of food, support 100 days?
In the military order issued by Gao Mingheng, it was clearly stipulated that the people who went out of the city must be people whose families had run out of food, that is, the people who lined up to leave the city would also be searched by the soldiers defending the city.
Some of the people who were carrying their belongings were found at the city gate, and the soldiers defending the city not only confiscated their belongings, but inevitably beat them severely, and if they resisted a little, they were thrown into prison in the name of "bandits."
At this time, the soldiers in the city were short of military rations, so how could there be food in the prison? A discerning person knows at a glance that once he is thrown into prison, he is waiting for death, unless his family ransoms him with food and money!
The people who originally had crooked thoughts no longer had a chance under the strict search of the soldiers defending the city, and the people gathered in the southern city showed signs of decreasing slightly.
The soldiers defending the city lost the opportunity to search for their belongings, but they found another kind of fun: the people who went out of the city to dig wild vegetables were all searched, and even the women would not let go, so there were obscene soldiers, who groped and pinched the woman's body in public, and when they met some beautiful women, they searched more carefully, even in their belly pockets, to avoid carrying food and property out of the city, and if they did not comply, they were directly disqualified from leaving the city on the grounds of "refusing to cooperate with the inspection".
Although this kind of thing happened in broad daylight, the women seemed to have lost their shame and obediently let these lewd men rub oil on them one by one......
The search was tight, and 500 people were still allowed out of the city every day, but the people who were behind the queue were almost noon when they left the city.
In order to get out of the city, the people got up early and lined up, but the people in line got earlier and earlier, and finally they didn't return at night, and stayed directly near the south city gate, hoping to get to the head line and leave the city early tomorrow.
Waiting in line like this, you can't get out of the city until the Year of the Monkey? Maybe by the time the opportunity comes, I'm too hungry to walk......
Then those "smart people" saw the way, since the soldiers defending the city were lustful, why not impress them with their hues?
The south city gate, with the gathering of a large number of hungry people, gradually became "prosperous", especially the soldiers who kept vigil in the second half of the night, all became the "fragrant bait" in the eyes of the people, they kept vigil until dawn, and were responsible for opening the city gate, the first batch of people out of the city, it was decided by them.
The soldiers who keep vigil in the second half of the night, although there is a small flag, but the soldiers who are really on duty are usually only one or two, and most of the soldiers will go deep into the hungry people and carry out the most primitive transactions: the woman who accompanies # sleeping at night will get a wooden sign with a sign, with this wooden card, when the city is opened after dawn, her whole family can go out of the city first!
As long as they sacrifice their bodies, they can get the opportunity that others can't wait for in line!
At the beginning, there were people arguing, obviously they were in the lead, why were these people the first to go out of the city?
The women who sacrificed their lives last night didn't dare to reply, but they just dragged their children out of the city in a hurry, but the soldiers defending the city blocked for them: You want to get out of the city, right? Swap your body at night!
Fair trade, clear pricing, honesty and credit, young and old!
In the face of this naked temptation, more and more women who "take the initiative" to ask for dedication, that is, the women who are no longer fierce, in the face of hunger, in the face of the life and death of the whole family, they have also lost the last line of defense.
They have lost all their possessions, and the only capital is their own bodies.
Changes are quietly taking place in the south city gate, the soldiers who are fortunate enough to guard the city in the second half of the night are not waiting for the prey to take the bait, but take the initiative to attack, looking for them among the people one by one, only the women with outstanding colors, and those who have not yet come out of the pavilion of the yellow flower girl, it is possible to get the opportunity, those who are old and decrepit, mediocre, and even have no young women's families, even wait for a year, it is difficult to get the opportunity to go out of the city to dig wild vegetables, and can only wait for death in the city.
Although there are still many fools who continue to queue up at the south gate to get out of the city, most of the women with "capital" are no longer queuing at the city gate, but outside the temporary tent set up by the night vigil soldiers......
During this period of time, the defenders stationed at the south gate were all rushing to be on duty in the second half of the night, no matter whether Kaifeng City could be defended or not, at least during this period of duty, they experienced the feeling of being the emperor: the young and beautiful "concubines" were very docile waiting for themselves to "be lucky", in order to get the opportunity of "Lin Xing", the "concubines" even had no teacher, learned to compete for favor, and took the initiative to wait for them comfortably!
If you can be on duty at the South City Gate in the middle of the night, it's worth it if you die!
The women who were too poor to be favored by the soldiers on duty turned their attention to the soldiers who were on duty in the middle of the night, and as long as they waited for any soldier, they could get a wooden sign, and when the soldier guarded the city gates, she could leave the city.
The posture is not enough, so I can only invest early.
The main general guarding the south gate of the city, is the chief soldier Chen Yongfu, learned the information from the soldiers' chat, secretly taken aback, but after careful consideration, feel that these women who go out of the city, rarely return to the city, rather than stay outside the city to let the Mandate of Heaven army spoil, it is better to comfort the soldiers guarding the city, the soldiers have always lacked food and clothing, if you find fun in the women, maybe you can improve morale.
For the sake of such a life, they will also desperately defend the city!
After these women leave the city, most of them will join the Mandate of Heaven Army, and before leaving the city, it is also appropriate to make some contributions to the soldiers who have worked hard to defend the city......
The soldiers under him lived a nourishing life every day, but they themselves stayed in the barracks and lived an ascetic life......
Chen Yongfu stroked his chin and smiled strangely.
After dark, Chen Yongfu came to the city gate in the name of checking the gang, and witnessed the soldiers guarding the city living an emperor-like nightlife, and he pretended to be angry and wanted to cut down these soldiers who did not respect military discipline.
The accompanying guards hurriedly "comforted": "My lord, now that the Liukou are besieging the city, it is the time to employ people, so it is better to let them make meritorious contributions......
"Guilty of meritorious service?" Chen Yongfu's lips moved, the expression on his face slowed, and he glanced at the face of the woman who was accompanying him, and said, "I know that you are working hard to defend the city, and you have to face the thieves outside the city, but ......"
The guards "keenly" grasped Chen Yongfu's words, and hurriedly said: "My lord, what is it? ”
"The one guarding the southern city is not only Lord Ben, but also the prefect Wu Shijiao," Chen Yongfu sighed faintly, "If it is discovered by Lord Wu Shijiao when he patrols the city, you just wait to lose your head!" After a pause, he pointed to the soldier kneeling in front of him and said, "I'm also doing this for your good!" ”
The guards snickered and said, "My lord, otherwise, let them divide their men and set up a sentry outside the city gate, if Lord Wu comes, they have to avoid it......"
"Nonsense!" Chen Yongfu scolded: "Women are not allowed to be hidden in the barracks, don't you know? Glancing at the several soldiers kneeling in front of him, he shouted, "Get up first!" ”
Several soldiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Chen Yongfu had no intention of punishing.
The guards lost no time in saying: "My lord, although you can't hide women in the barracks, but in extraordinary times, you can use extraordinary methods, and the brothers can live with their heads in their hands...... Hey, they didn't bring women into the barracks either—there were brothers stationed here, but it wasn't a barracks! ”
"Huh?" Chen Yongfu was thoughtful, but he didn't speak.
The guards made a look at the soldiers guarding the city, and the soldiers guarding the city saw that the guards were talking for themselves everywhere, and they felt strange, but when they got a gesture of their eyes, the clever soldiers understood, so they leaned over and whispered: "My lord, today there is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old chick at the city gate, very clever, unusually tender, the villain and others dare not enjoy it, and it is specially left for the adults to ......."
The guards feigned anger: "Women are not allowed to be hidden in the barracks, you let the adults bring the women back, once the governor knows, won't it hurt the adults?" ”
"You don't have to take it back to the barracks," the soldier peeked secretly, and saw that Chen Yongfu was not angry, and hurriedly said: "In order to avoid the frost and dew at night, the villain and others have built a simple camp tent here......"
Chen Yongfu had already seen the camp, and the soldiers just now were driven out of his tent, and the guards saw that Chen Yongfu was still hesitating, so they shouted softly: "Don't you bring people over?" While leaning close to Chen Yongfu's ear, he whispered: "My lord has been guarding the city for several months, and he has not returned to his home...... It's better to go and see first, and if you're not satisfied, don't disturb the adult's name......"
Chen Yongfu half-pushed and half-pushed, and entered the camp with his guards.
Someone has already brought in a beautiful woman who is twenty-eight years old, the beauty looks good, she is already superior, but her skin is slightly darker, obviously not the daughter of a big family, but compared to Chen Yongfu's wife and concubine, at least she is much younger, and her eyebrows are affectionate, although she is cowering, but she is also full of expectations......
How could Chen Yongfu live up to such a beauty?
Since then, Chen Yongfu will come to the city gate every day after dark to inspect it, and then return to the barracks, clearly saying that he is diligent in patrolling the city and strictly guarding against the Mandate of Heaven army outside the city, but secretly he is living a life of "being a groom every night and changing brides every night".
