635 Dead City
The day after Dolgon's order, it was nearly noon, which was supposed to be the most popular time of the day in winter. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info can be in Ningyuan City, but it is still dead, if it is not for the fact that there are still people in the city, I don't know that I think it is an empty ghost town!
The Ming soldiers under the winter, although they said that they were standing guard in shifts, none of them stood straight. Most of them threw their blades aside and sat in the corner with their hands outstretched in their sleeves.
These people didn't chat or anything, just quietly enjoying the winter sun. If it weren't for the occasional move, I would have thought they were all asleep. Only in this way can you save the most physical strength and feel the least hungry.
In fact, not only these soldiers, but also their chief soldier He Kegang are also in a similar situation.
Because of the butterfly effect, he was martyred in Chongzhen for four years, but he is still alive tenaciously, and he is also the general soldier of Ningyuan who commanded the Ming army in Ningyuan and Jinzhou.
He Kegang has a clean and honest style, shares weal and woe with his subordinates, and is deeply loved by his subordinates. Therefore, in the past few years, although there has been an extreme shortage of supplies, and even many people have starved to death, no one has gone to the enemy. Of course, this is also related to the fact that almost every Ming soldier has a blood feud with Jianyu.
After being occupied by Jianyu Shanhaiguan, He Kegang actually knew that this place had become a Jedi. If Jianyu wants these two cities, they don't need to attack, as long as the garrison is consumed outside the city, everyone in these two cities can be consumed.
But Jianyu obviously didn't want to consume even this bit of loss, and even didn't send an army to besiege the city, so that Ning Jinming's army had a chance to survive. But it's just that he can survive, and it is impossible to take the initiative to leave the city to crusade against Jianyu.
He Kegang was lying on the bed, his expression was like those soldiers, without a trace of anger. He knew in his heart that it would be a matter of time before Ning Jin fell. These people will definitely be martyred for Ning Jin in the end.
Shanhaiguan is in the hands of Jianyu, and Ningjin has become a Jedi. Although there is a sea route, the sailors of the Ming Dynasty have long since disappeared. Occasionally, I look forward to the stars and the moon and hope for a little bit of supplies, but it is not enough to even stuff my teeth.
It is impossible for the imperial court to withdraw Ning Jinming's army to Guannei, and the infamy of losing land is much more important than the lives of tens of thousands of Ning Jinming's army. And besides, there are still tens of thousands of Ning Jinming troops left!
Today's He Kegang is more relying on perseverance to persevere. With his subordinates, he maintained the current situation with a kind of inertia.
The lifeless General Soldier's Mansion, the lifeless Ningyuan City, only when it comes to a meal of gruel a day, will there be some movement. Everyone is boiling up, waiting for this meal to come.
He Kegang lay unconsciously, consuming the good time of his life. But suddenly, he seemed to hear something. He opened his eyes in disbelief and listened carefully.
There was a faint commotion, and there was a faint sound of footsteps. He Kegang was a little surprised, could it be that the captives were attacking the city? It can't be!
As soon as he sat up, one of the guards stumbled open the door and said with a panicked face: "Dashuai, the Jianjiao outside shouted that the Jingshi was occupied, and the emperor had become their prisoner, and our Ming Dynasty had perished!" ”
Mind Attack! This was He Kegang's first thought. But then I thought about it and it was wrong, is it necessary for Jianyu to do any kind of attack?
Thinking about it like this, He Kegang's heart sank, could it be that this news was really there?
No matter how pessimistic he was, it was impossible to think that Jianyu would occupy the Jingshi, and with Jianyu on the border, he would be able to destroy the Ming Dynasty. However, he really couldn't think of it, if Jianyu shouted a lie, then there must be this, and he was full?
As soon as this came out of my head, my stomach "growled". He Kegang showed a wry smile, stood up and said to the guard: "Let's go, go to the city and have a look." ”
In fact, there is nothing to see, he just wants to go to the arrow tower at the head of the city to lie down. No matter what happens, it is to go to the city to show an attitude: even if the sky collapses, we will never surrender and build a captive!
Ning Yuancheng actually made a noise for a while, and then continued to be quiet. Either I don't believe it, or I don't have the strength, and there is no movement anyway.
When He Kegang arrived at the head of the city, he didn't ask the subordinates at the head of the city to have a soldier, but just looked out at the five horses galloping and calling for the captives.
He looked at it for a while, then suddenly sighed deeply, ignored the few Jianlu, turned to the guards who followed him, and said, "Pass the order, starting tomorrow, the daily ration for each person will be doubled, and the meat will be divided!" ”
"Handsome?" The guards were taken aback, a little incredulous, and shouted for confirmation.
Because he knows that even if the porridge is too thin to be thinner, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hold on to the beginning of spring next year. And those dead people's flesh was hidden, so that they could be eaten before the war, so that they could have the strength to fight with the captives. Now, if the food ration is doubled and the meat is eaten, it doesn't mean that after a while, you won't be able to eat it!
He Kegang smiled slightly bitterly, waved his hand and said, "Go, go!" ”
The guards were confirmed, and they didn't know whether to rejoice or worry, so they staggered to give the order.
With this order, the lifeless Ningyuan City was like a stone thrown into the sea, and after a trace of spray, it returned to its original state.
After shouting excitedly outside the city for a while, he ate and drank outside the city, and waited until he was full and drank for a while before returning to Shanhaiguan.
He Kegang on the arrow tower at the head of the city, when he saw those prisoners eating and drinking, he had an impulse to send troops to rob them. But when I think of the situation of my subordinates, I can only smile bitterly.
By noon on the second day, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard outside the city. He Kegang, who was still lying in the arrow tower, heard this, and couldn't help but despise these prisoners a little, he actually came back today, and it was better to send an army to fight if he had this heart, so that everyone would not have to consume it.
But years of experience on the battlefield made him feel a little wrong. Whether it was the rapid sound of the horse's hooves or the direction it came from, it was not right.
Curious, he went to the window of the arrow tower to look. But I saw that there were three Jianlu, as if they had lost their armor and rushed from the direction of Jinzhou, as if there were pursuers behind them. He didn't even look at Ning Yuancheng, and desperately galloped past at the fastest speed.
At this time, He Kegang seemed to have suddenly eaten a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the whole person suddenly became energetic. His instinct told him that the Jianyu of Liaodong was afraid that he was in trouble!
No matter what the trouble of Liaodong Jianyu was, as long as they were in trouble, He Kegang's heart couldn't help but be happy. He pondered for a while, and then ordered: "The daily ration of each person is doubled, and the sentry at the head of the city is doubled, and wait and see what happens!" ”
