The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 602: : Food delivery to refugees

The difficulty of attacking the imperial city of Qi is not small, and it is likely to cause heavy casualties. It is not that Qi has a strong weapon. The biggest obstacle is actually the towering city.

The imperial city of Qi State refers to the entire scope of the capital, because the people of Qi state respectfully call the capital the imperial city, so it is called.

According to the architectural division, the Qi imperial city is divided into four parts, the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city and the palace city.

Every country is very careful and sophisticated in the construction of the capital of the capital, and the emperor of Qi is the same. The outermost wall of Waiguo City is 48 miles long, 7.5 meters to 8 meters high, 12 meters wide at the bottom, and 9 meters wide at the top. There are twelve gates on all sides. There are also towers, urns and arrow towers on the walls. The four corners of the city are built. Turret.

If such a city wants to rely on a ladder or a wooden ladder to climb it, it is a living target, and the loss can be imagined. What's more, the outer Guocheng was breached, and there was a city wall inside.

Inward from the outer Guocheng is the inner city. The wall is 12 to 15 meters high, the bottom is 20 meters thick, the top is 16 meters thick, and there is a female wall on it. There are nine gates, four turrets, three water gates, 172 enemy platforms, and a moat 30-60 meters wide outside the city.

As for the imperial city and the Miyagi, it is the same. The towering and tall buildings are very difficult to attack. This is why it is said that the next step is to attack the city.

Going to war and attacking the heart, the champion Hou will naturally take the Emperor Qi imperial city at the least cost. The first thing to do is naturally to block the city and trap them inside, which cuts off the food supply.

When Prince He, Ye Qingshan, went to Daxia, he specifically met with champion Hou and introduced him to the state of the imperial city. At the same time, he explained that Wei Nanzheng might seek refuge in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Prince He inferred that Wei Nanzheng would inevitably take the opportunity to let Yuan Guo looting the last granary. As Prince He expected, Wei Nanzheng did so. Also because this granary was robbed, the Qi State imperial city lost its last life-saving ration.

Therefore, there are very few grain reserves in the imperial city of Qi.

The first step is to cut off supplies and trap them in the city, causing panic.

The second step is to brush a wave of rockets...cough cough, this time I won’t use "fire" arrows. Normal strong bow and crossbow arrows are fine, but you have to add some materials, tie something to the arrows, and shoot them in. In the city.

The people living in the outer city were all refugees and less wealthy people, but when Xia Jun shot arrows, Qi Jun had told the refugees to hide, so they avoided the bows and arrows far, and there were not too many casualties. But they saw the cloth tied to the arrow shafts, densely packed, on every arrow shaft.

Some people were curious to take off the cloth to observe, and those who knew the words even read aloud: "Those who return to Daxia will be rewarded with 20 acres of cultivated land! There will be no tax within ten years! Those who are willing to vote will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold. The status of a baron, a hundred acres of fertile land! Kill the Emperor Qi, and give the title of earl..."

It turned out to be a surrender book!

When the people around heard this, they were in an uproar.

They are all refugees and poor people. They don’t even have their own land. They are all tenants. Now the weather is always dry and flooded. The land is not guaranteed. If there is no harvest, they will have to owe the landlord’s food. Life is difficult. Survival is lost.

Now I have returned to Daxia, with 20 mu per person. In the current family, which family is not seven or eight people, it is more than 100 mu of land, and there will be no taxes for ten years. You own your own land and grow everything!

For a time, all the people looked at the yellow whole grains, each with eager heart and dry mouth.

Not only the people, but the soldiers were also greedy, but soon, General Haiming, the city defender of the State of Qi, ordered the soldiers to collect the arrow feathers to avoid the ravages of these deceptive remarks.

But the fastest is the gossip. In only half a day, everyone in the city learned of Daxia's letter of persuasion to surrender. Everyone whispered and panicked in the city.

Qi Huang also saw the persuasion to surrender. He hated and angry, but what can he do? Rumors in the city can only be allowed to spread, and the people's hearts are turbulent, and there is nothing to do.

In the next few days, Champion Hou’s offensive method was still focused on attacking the mind. After the temptation, it was threatening, which caused not only the turbulence of the people, but also the sway of the military.

Soon, another potential threat broke out in the city.

Lack of food!

To be precise, the 300,000 to 400,000 refugees in the city have no food. They all rely on the court for relief. But as the Great Xia soldiers and horses besie the city, the porridge offered by the court is getting thinner and thinner. Let alone stick chopsticks and not pour in. It’s good to be able to chew two bites in your mouth. Leaning on the thin soup and water, the hungry chests of the refugees stick to the back. In desperation, many refugees start to get into trouble and dare not grab the food controlled by the army. People.

Never underestimate the evil of human nature, let alone on the verge of starving to death, starvation to the gall to grow, this hunger is also evil, so the refugees are full of enthusiasm, 30 people grab food, and even killed.

Security in the capital is now maintained by soldiers and horses. When they heard the news, the refugees who grabbed food had already fled, let alone hunted them down, so they could only order them. Once they found the phenomenon of grabbing food, they would be killed.

Unexpectedly, this order not only failed to act as a deterrent, but also contributed to more food grabs.

Regardless of killing? If you don’t eat, you’ll starve to death, and you won’t be able to grab the food, so why not grab it!

In this way, refugees began to breed troubles.

Even if the imperial court sent troops to arrest some people and execute them on the spot, it would only serve as a deterrent for a while and would not have a greater deterrent effect.

Next, the champion Hou had another action.

On this day, Li Cunxiao personally escorted ten horse-drawn carriages close to the city. The general of the Qi army, Haiming, quickly showed up and saw this great general in the great summer who had no one to dare to fight on the land of Qi!

"On the top of the tower is General Haiming, I am enlisting General General Li Cunxiao, the left general under General Qi, I am lucky enough to meet!"

Li Cunxiao stopped at the city and shouted heroically.

Hai Ming had heard of Li Cunxiao's name long ago, and he was powerful in Qi Guo. Qi Guo's general and his army were fighting against each other, but no one could insist on ten moves! Even Haiming’s brother, Yuan Chong, who is known as the second fierce general of the Great Qi, only insisted on nine moves, and was cut to death!

Now that he can see the true face with his own eyes, Haiming also has to praise Li Cunxiao's bravery, he is indeed a powerful general in the world!

Haiming replied, "General Li is coming here, is he going to break the city single-handedly?"

Li Cunxiao smiled and said: "The general of the sea is serious. The imperial city of Qi is as towering as a mountain. With my own strength, how can I break the city? I am not a man of God! I will disturb you this time. , The second thing is to ask if there is a shortage of food in the city?"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers in the city gritted their teeth. This was deliberately to provoke!

"I have troubled General Li. The food in our city is abundant, enough for military and civilian use. Your country has violated me and behaved badly. General Li is now calling for battle here again. Meeting him is not as well-known!" Haiming sneered.

Li Cunxiao laughed and continued: "General Hai will be wrong. I am not here to provoke. I am worried about the refugees in your city. I heard that they have no food available, so I am here to send you food!"

Give food?

Qi Jun was immediately dumbfounded. How could an enemy send food? Is this a rat giving food to the cat?

Haiming shouted: "General Li, what is your intention?"

With a wave of Li Cunxiao, ten horse-drawn carriages came over behind him. Li Cunxiao ordered people to lift the cover of the carriage and saw that they were filled with potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes.

Li Cunxiao said: "General Hai, presumably your country has heard about the new crops that we are planting. These are the new crops! The taste of these new crops may not be as delicate as rice noodles, but the yield is high and it adapts to various terrains. We are in Daxia. It has been fully promoted. The annual output of new crops can feed the people. Even if it encounters natural disasters, it will not make the people hungry. Today, these ten vehicles are sent to the refugees in the city to let them taste the sweetness."

Speaking of this, Li Cunxiao paused, gave them time to think, and then said: "So these ten carts of food are for refugees. General Hai should not be embezzled, and General Hai is the number one warrior of the Qi. Is it possible that you don’t even have the courage to harvest grain? If you don’t, then don’t call Daqi the No. 1 Fierce General, but the Daqi No. 1 Shocking Turtle, haha..."

As soon as the words came out, the soldiers on the city were furious, and the lieutenant next to Haiming wanted to shoot with a bow and arrow to kill Li Cunxiao under the city, but he was stopped by Haiming.

"What the first military commander is a false name, don't worry. As for the kindness of General Li, we understand it! Since it is an enemy, don't be pretentious and take your food back!" Although Haiming is a military commander, he is also a good will. The famous general immediately guessed Da Xia's conspiracy and tricks.

Li Cunxiao turned his horse's head, and said, "The things that this general sent out will naturally not be taken back. The things will be sent here for you, goodbye!"

With that said, Li Cunxiao took people away.

The people on the tower looked at each other and looked at each other.

The lieutenant could not help asking: "General, this must be a trick of the enemy army. According to the subordinates, let it be set on fire!"

"Yeah, general, burn it!"

"Can't burn! It's really going to be burned, doesn't it mean that our general is scared?"

"This is a new crop. What a shame it was burned! I don't know how it tastes!"

"Yeah, how about transporting it back to the city first?"

...

Everyone talked a lot, and then they all looked at Haiming.

Haiming pondered, and after a moment, said: "Let's transport back to the city first!"

The subordinates immediately took the order, and after ensuring that it was not a trap of the enemy, opened the city gate, brought back ten horse-drawn carriages, and sent troops to guard and prohibit anyone from moving around.

And he took some potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn to see his father, Hai Yuntian.

Hearing about the situation, Haiyuntian immediately asked Haitian to present the new crops. Looking at the three novel crops, Haiyuntian looked up and down curiously, and then ordered the Fuzhong chef to cook them.

This is difficult for the chef, who has never seen these things, how to start? In the end, I can only bite the bullet.

In fact, potatoes and sweet potatoes are better, that is, corn is hard, even if it is cooked, it is hard to lose its teeth!

The chef scratched his head and left, leaving only Haiyuntian and Haitian in the house.

Hai Yuntian sighed, "Champion Hou is so powerful!"

Haitian nodded and said: "Champion Hou doesn't want to attack the city and destroy the army, so he uses his scheming. First, he threatens and lures, disrupting the people's and military's minds, and now he sends new crops to refugees. If these new crops are really given to refugees, then What would the refugees think?"

"The people in my country don't have a living, and there are tens of thousands of people who died of starvation. Look at Daxia, how many people have been saved by the new crops, it is even more exciting!"

Hai Yuntian sighed and said, "Although this is Daxia's plan, the sad thing is that the facts are true. Daxia's new crops can save countless people."

"If there are new crops in Daqi, why not worry?" Haitian said angrily.

Hai Yuntian shook his head and said: "I heard that the new crops were found by sailing. They are just outside the ocean, but only Daxia went to sea to find them. Our Majesty also knows the magic of the new crops, and he also intends to send them. The ship came out to look for it, but nothing came of it. New crops are not omnipotent, and the talent in charge of all this is the key!"

"Father, be careful!" Haitian's expression changed.

Hai Yuntian waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, is there anything I can't say now?"

Haitian was silent for a moment. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

The room was silent, and after a long time, the chef took out the food made from the new crop.

"Master, master, these yellow **** and red skins are cooked directly. Take this piece by piece and grind it into a powder, add some flour to it, and bake it into a cake!" The chef explained Tao.

Hai Yuntian picked up a potato and ate one, which was soft and delicious. Sweet potatoes are not only soft and waxy, but also sweet and taste very good. The cake made of cornmeal is not as delicate as flour, but the taste is okay.

More importantly, these three things relieve hunger and feel very full!

Hai Yuntian ate two potatoes and one sweet potato, plus two corn flakes, and he was full! It takes three or four bowls for rice, and four or five for steamed buns.

After Haitian finished eating, he was shocked and said: "So relieved of hunger! I heard that potatoes and sweet potatoes are both high-yielding, much higher than the output of grains!"

Hai Yuntian nodded, as he was experiencing a fierce struggle in his heart at this time.
