Yang Zhengqi looked at Xiaohuniu sleeping sweetly, and her mood was very complicated.

What a miserable child, born in troubled times.

When he went out, he saw a notice posted. All the food in the city had been taken away by the government for sufficient military rations.

This is like a bolt from the blue!

Yang Zhengqi now regrets that he didn't buy a batch at a high price, but now he can't buy it even if he wants to.

No food...no food!

The government is trying to force everyone to the dead end!

The Ming army besieged Chongqing and did not know when it would take place.

If it takes a long time, even if the government finally defends Chongqing, most ordinary people like Yang Zhengqi will starve to death.

It’s really difficult to live in troubled times!

Do you have to force everyone to chew on the bark?

Yang Zhengqi shook his head, stepped forward and tucked the quilt for Hu Niu, sighed and turned his head to leave.

For his daughter, he had to get some food anyway!

…

…

"Have you heard that? The grain has been taken away by the government. Now I can't buy a grain of food in the city of Chongqing."

"So scary? Who did you hear from old brother?"

"Does this still need to be heard? The notice is almost posted throughout the city."

"What's the purpose of the government doing this? Wouldn't people be confused in this way?"

"What's this? Isn't it just not selling food to you? Isn't it just making you hungry? There are many more ruthless people than this."

"Speak up?"

"Does Xinhui know? Guangdong Xinhui! When the Ming army besieged Xinhui, the Qing army guarding the city ate all the food, and the guard general ordered the killing of the people in the city to use their flesh and blood as military rations! It lasted for half a year."

"Hiss, eat human...human flesh?"

"When you see a little monster, people's lives are like grass in troubled times. What's wrong with eating human flesh? There is no difference between people and livestock. Those officers and soldiers were later commended by the court, saying that they made contributions to defending their territory!"

"Ah, there's this, it's too horrifying."

"After saying so much, can Chongqing be defended? We will not be killed as military rations at that time, will we be used as military rations?"

"This is hard to say. It would be fine if the Ming army could not take the lead in a long attack. If the Ming army insisted on not leaving... Alas, most of the people in the city would be miserable."

"Then we're going to die like that?"

"What else should I do? It's time for war now, and the whole city is in martial law. Even if you want to run away, you can't escape. Could it be that you still want to resist?"

"Then hide. Even if the Qing army eats people, they have to find people first. Maybe they will be full after eating others and will not eat me anymore."

In a house in the south of the city, several friends kept talking and talking.

The notice that Wang Henian ordered people to post was very realistic, and even imitated the government and used seals.

Of course, the people didn't know the authenticity of the print, and they were very angry after reading the content.

Recalling the dark history of the Qing army, this feeling of anger becomes even stronger.

The Qing army wanted to survive, but the people didn't want to die.

They accept it on weekdays because they still have the most basic thoughts.

Now that the Qing army is going to cut off their last thoughts, the people will naturally stop doing it.

Some people choose to protest silently.

Some people chose to stand up and fight back and give the Qing army some colors.

Overnight, many fires occurred in the city, and the fire spread greatly, and even burned down an official government office.

Governor Gao Minzhan was furious after receiving the news.

These unruly people are really hateful. They openly make trouble during wartime and challenge the authority of the government.

What's even more hateful is the person who secretly spreads rumors.

Gao Minzhan has read the notice and the person who wrote the notice is very familiar with the basic routines of the government. It is probably that there was an insider in the yamen and he was in a gangster with the unruly people.

But what is their purpose?

Simple revenge on the government?

Gao Minzhan felt it was unlikely.

Doing this does not benefit them much. Who is willing to do things that harm others and do not benefit themselves?

After thinking about it, Gao Minzhan felt that these people were probably secretly stumps of the Ming army.

They pretended to be the government and posted notices in order to create chaos in the city, so that they could cooperate with the Ming army to attack the city from inside to outside.

Of course, these people are not saying all about slander.

Gao Minzhan did think about collecting unified calls for food in the city, but unfortunately he was one step late.

When he was about to give an order, he found that there was no surplus food on the market in the city!

This is obviously someone is causing trouble!

Gao Minzhan naturally cannot ignore this.

While he ordered his confidant to investigate the matter, he must dig out the rebellious person.

On the other hand, Gao Minzhan visited the city wall to inspect the defense situation.

He was extremely reluctant to do this, after all, he had to risk being hit by a rock or artillery.

If Wang Mingde hadn't tried his best to dissuade him, Gao Minzhan really didn't want to do it!

After climbing to the city, Gao Minzhan found that the situation was worse than he thought!

The Ming army navy almost filled the river. From time to time, a bombardment came, and the mercenary was blown away.

Gao Minzhan was so scared that he hid in the city tower and called out the Ming army to be cruel.

In the past, the Ming army has come to attack Chongqing many times. Even the most fierce one last year, it is not as strong as this time.

Gao Minzhan only felt that the Ming army's attack was very orderly and rhythmic, and the artillery fire was one round after another, which made people breathless.

It seems that Ming Jun is bound to win Chongqing when he comes!

"Hold on, hold on to me! Mingjun is all a bunch of airs and is not afraid of it!"

Gao Minzhan mustered up the courage to talk to the soldiers guarding the city, and then hurriedly fled down the city.

No matter what, he will not go to the city wall again!

…

…

In the Ming army formation, Zhu Youlang carefully observed the battle situation.

According to the plan, the Ming army will suppress the bombardment on the city in the first round.

The Qing army might fight back with artillery, but the firepower was not the same level at all.

After a round of artillery bombardment, the Ming army could use this interval to launch an offensive against Watergate.

Of course, Zhu Youlang would not think that the Ming army could score in one fell swoop, but he must take advantage of this opportunity to find some experience.

This was the first time Zhu Youlang saw the scene of attacking Shuicheng, which was both novel and a little excited.

"Your Majesty, our army has cut off all river roads, and Chongqing is now a dead city."

Wen'an's deep voice played.

According to him, it has now reached the stalemate stage, and the Ming army must do all the external things well.

Including cutting off the waterway, etc.

In this way, even if the Qing army in Chongqing wanted to run away, there was no chance.

"Well, I still can't drag it down. I have to break the city before reinforcements arrive."

Of course, Zhu Youlang didn't know what was happening in Chongqing now, and he just felt that there was no advantage in the Ming army's food and grass to drag on it.

What's more, Hong Chengchou from Guizhou may rush to help at any time, so quickly breaking the city is the best strategy.

"What Your Majesty said is very much. The King of Jin is already ordering people to build a floating bridge."

Zhu Youlang looked in the direction Wen Anzhi pointed, and saw that Ming Jun was indeed using a small boat and a bamboo raft to build a simple floating bridge. He was a little curious.

"What is this floating bridge built for?"
