Chapter three hundred and fortieth home search
Such a huge cellar covers a wide area. It is actually the same size as Fan Yongdou Qijin's mansion.
If the world of rich people can do whatever they want, the cellars here are piled with blue bricks. There is a column every ten feet or so, and there are seven doors in the cellars. There are ventilation openings on it and the walls are covered with oil lamps.
Ye Qing and Liu Hong walked into the cellar, and the spaciousness inside really surprised them.
"Open the door!" Ye Qing ordered his men.
There are seven doors in a row, and a copper lock is hung on each door. A Hu Ben Army soldier used a giant axe to break a door. The door opened. It was full of meat, rice, flour, and even vegetables, wine, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
What's so scary about this cellar is that so much food can actually support an army.
Ye Qing and Liu Hong led their subordinates and walked in with torches. The more they walked, the more frightened they became.
Then, Liu Hong's face showed a secretly happy smile: "I'm so kind of good, so much food, and jerky meat, dried fruits, rice, all rice, and wheat. How much has this tyrant merchant stocked up?"
Ye Qing vaguely guessed Fan Yongdou's purpose and sneered: "This profiteer is really a cunning man. He made preparations. Born in troubled times, the food he stored is enough for the people in his mansion to eat for several years. Whoever starves to death will not starve Fan Yongdou, this dog."
Liu Hong nodded: "Yes, this guy is afraid that he will not only hoard food. He is afraid that Jiannu will invade it and that life will be difficult after the fall. I am afraid that this food is to curry favor with Huang Taiji."
They guessed correctly. Fan Yongdou was a naked traitor and a traitor. The Qing Dynasty was capricious. He was afraid that one day when Huang Taiji entered the pass again, he would lose his value, so he wanted to leave a backup plan.
If Huang Tai Kyi came to fight and didn't plan to let him go, he would give out the military rations. The Qing soldiers were short of food, especially when fighting. Because they had no logistical support, they only rely on robbery.
Fan Yongdou believed that as long as he gave out the stored food, he would definitely exchange his whole family for peace.
Unexpectedly, Fan Yongdou, who had capsized in the gutter, suddenly gained the price of the Hu Ben Army. Ye Qing laughed: "Hahahaha, you must be happy to know so much food!"
Liu Hong held up the torch and looked around. The granary was tens of meters deep and reached its end. A lot of food was enough for the three armies to eat for several months. This was really an unexpected surprise. These military rations could greatly alleviate the problem of food shortage.
Even Hong Chengchou's Liaodong Army, the military rations of these Liaodong soldiers were extremely cold. Two meals a day and mixed vegetables and grains were porridge in the morning. The clear soup and water were not enough to solve the problem of food and clothing. The hungry soldiers sometimes had to find ways to get some food. As a result, they violated various disciplines.
I only ate some dry food at night, but still corn, grain and rice, with some salt and pickles. Without salt, the soldiers would not have the strength to fight. The food for the Liaodong soldiers was actually very cold.
But even so, the Ming Dynasty, which was full of sorrow, had a luxury. Compared with the people in the disaster area, the food of the soldiers was good, at least it could barely satisfy their hunger.
Unless you win a battle, only when you win a battle, the soldiers will open their stomachs and eat big fish and meat, and eat and drink enough.
