Six hundred and forty-two retribution
"Governor Mei took the lead in eating meat in order to let the soldiers eat meat, and after eating it once, he vomited so much that he lay on the bed and went on a hunger strike.
Ma Gui said.
"Those Meat ......"
"They are all the corpses of people who have starved to death and died of serious injuries, and there is no living person, this is Governor Mei's bottom line, and it is also ...... The bottom line of all the defenders, there is really no food to eat in the city, the northern captives suddenly attacked, Datong Town only has five days' food, we really have no other way......"
Ma Gui's words said Xiao Ruxun was sad for a while.
"Don't talk about it, don't talk about it, let's go see Governor Mei first, and we'll talk about the rest slowly."
Xiao Ruxun could only appease them first and block the news as much as possible, as for the rest of the matter......
To be honest, he really didn't have an idea.
The scene in Datong City, to be honest, is really terrifying, that is, Xiao Ruxun has seen a more terrifying scene with his own eyes, so he doesn't think it's too terrifying, but the three or five personal soldiers who followed Xiao Ruxun into the city were already extremely ugly.
The current Ming Dynasty has not yet reached that time, the current Ming Dynasty is generally stable, and the cannibalism of Yizi is just a concept that exists in everyone's minds, and it is not a real thing that you really see and are very accustomed to, if it is replaced by the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, then this kind of thing is very commonplace.
But not right now.
Xiao Ruxun saw the soldiers with gray faces, as well as the surviving residents of the city with gray faces, their eyes were different, and they were different from the people outside.
"You take my token to General Li Rusong, and ask him to send someone to cook and send it to the city for refugees and soldiers to eat, remember, don't want meat, ask for vegetables."
Xiao Ruxun instructed a pro-soldier beside him, and the pro-soldier nodded and immediately turned around and left.
"How many soldiers are there in the city, and how many inhabitants are there?"
Xiao Ruxun asked Ma Gui.
"There were 10,000 soldiers in the city, and 10,000 strong men who were mobilized, and now there are more than 3,000 people in total, and the original population is more than 70,000, and now it is about 40,000."
Xiao Ruxun nodded.
The loss of soldiers and horses is particularly large, the loss of nearly half of the population, this two-month siege will be consumed in Datong, these residents can no longer stay in Datong, they need to break up and regroup, scattered to various places to start their lives again, and never mention that they are from Datong, otherwise after the news spreads, they will become the target of public criticism.
They must be mobilized to leave Datong before then, pretending to be ordinary refugees and blending in with other parts of Shanxi.
In a short period of time, it is better for Datong Town not to be inhabited.
These soldiers are the same, they should let them leave here as soon as possible, go to Shanxi, break up and integrate into the military horses of various places, blend in, change their appearance, and forget their unbearable experience in Datong City for two months.
There are so many of them that it is difficult to distinguish their identities and is easy to do, but how should Ma Gui and Mei Guozhen, the two big members of the party, deal with it?
When Xiao Ruxun saw Mei Guozhen, Mei Guozhen was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and motionless, the whole person was thin and out of shape, looking like a dry corpse from a distance, the whole person could not see the high-spirited appearance when he was in Ningxia at that time, and he couldn't find the shadow of the brave scribe who carried a three-foot sword to kill the enemy general.
It's like a person lying in a coffin waiting to die.
"Mr. May."
obviously thought of thousands of words, but when he walked in front of Mei Guozhen, Xiao Ruxun could only say these three words.
Mei Guozhen opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ruxun, a trace of brilliance appeared in his eyes, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but soon, this glimmer of brilliance disappeared and became invisible, and he closed his eyes again.
"The cannibal is full of sins, and he doesn't dare to defend himself, and I also ask Governor Xiao to play for me, Your Majesty, please behead me, but please forgive the soldiers of the city, and I will bear the responsibility for the crime."
That's all he has to say.
Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath, and then smiled.
"Mr. Mei, I haven't seen you for so long, is there only such a thing to treat the old people? Three years ago, we said goodbye in a hurry, and we haven't been able to see each other so far, and now we meet again, why don't we close our eyes and say nothing? ”
Although Mei Guozhen closed his eyes, when Xiao Ruxun said this, his body shook unnaturally, and a few tears slipped from the corners of his eyes.
"Sinners dare not claim to be the old man of the governor."
Xiao Ruxun sat on the edge of Mei Guozhen's bed and waved everyone except Ma Gui away.
"It's just the three of us here, is there anything you can't say?"
Xiao Ruxun reached out and held Mei Guozhen's withered hand.
Mei Guozhen turned his head, looked at the room where there were only three people, and then looked at Xiao Ruxun, and the tears finally burst uncontrollably.
"Ji Xin, I really thought we would never see each other again in this life......"
Mei Guozhen cried miserably, Ma Gui cried miserably, facing the iron-blooded man with the same face of tens of millions of enemy soldiers, but at this moment, tears were pouring out.
After venting the anguish in their hearts to their heart's content, the three of them opened their hearts and said everything they wanted to say.
"I never thought that such a thing would happen, although I had heard of it before, but I really experienced it, I still don't believe it, I can't imagine that someone would introduce foreign enemies for money, just want to kill their competitors, for this reason at the expense of the lives of border soldiers and people, deceive the upper and lower bold to come here!"
Mei Guozhen held Xiao Ruxun's hand tightly: "Ji Xin, can you imagine?" I asked them to give a little food to help the Ming Dynasty get through this difficulty, this is not to borrow, not to rob, not to pay back, as a result, this group of dog thieves who are not as good as animals, in the face of my 60,000 soldiers, actually only took out 500 stone of grain, only enough for the soldiers to eat for one day! One day!
These bastards, these dog thieves, occupy the military fields of the sergeants, and they eat their own brains full of fat, not only do they not pay taxes, but they also resist other taxes, and they also have to devour the money and grain stripped by the court, as long as it is money and food, as if it is theirs, there has never been anything else to do, I have never seen such an ugly person.
These local gentry, all of whom boast that they are moral gentlemen and moral models, are male thieves and female prostitutes behind their backs, and they are all doing things that cut off their children and grandchildren! Are they really not afraid of heavenly retribution when they do this? Are you really not afraid?! ”
Xiao Ruxun clenched Mei Guozhen's hand.
"They have already suffered retribution, Mr. Mei, don't worry, they have really suffered retribution, and they have single-handedly facilitated the northbound and southward captives, but they never thought that Ralik had no intention of doing what they said at all.
None of the big families living in the cities captured by Pullik after going to Shanxi survived, and what Pullik did was to kill these bastards and burn them all over the house, which was inconvenient for us to do, and Pullik did it for us. ”
Mei Guozhen's eyes widened.
"Really? How so? How could Talik do that? ”
