Chapter 978: Seeking the Moon for Food Contradiction

He Shouyi led an army of 30,000 to travel through the sea through Zhejiang to Fujian, and headed straight for Quanzhou Port.

Now he is racing against time.

Whether the crown prince can be saved depends on whether he can feel at ease in the future.

After all, he vowed to repay the Zheng family's favor for saving their lives.

Now the opportunity to repay is in front of him, how could he miss it?

Your Highness, your prince, must you resist.

...

...

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and more than half of the Ming army’s food on Xiaolangyu Island has been consumed.

Jun Matsumoto was cunning and still chose to siege instead of attacking.

In this case, the Japanese pirates were obviously waiting for the Ming army to finish their food and starve to death.

Zheng Jing is now facing great pressure.

Although the news has been sent out, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth in Zhejiang and Fujian.

He must hold on as long as possible.

According to the previous grain consumption rate, the food will be eaten up in a maximum of three or four days.

Zheng Jing could not allow such a thing to happen. He knew that he had to make up his mind to save some food now.

Save a little more and you can last longer.

"I am passing on the order of this prince to change three meals and two meals, and the amount of each meal is controlled to half of the original one. In extraordinary times, everyone is asked to stick to it."

The personal soldiers naturally took the order to pass the message.

For him, obeying His Highness the Crown Prince's orders was instinct.

But ordinary soldiers don't think so.

Except for a small number of them, except for the direct descendants brought out by Zheng Chenggong, most of the others were recruited by the imperial court.

No matter what the new recruits are, they only care whether they can survive after having enough food.

It is natural to be a soldier to eat food.

That's what they think.

So after hearing that Zheng Jing reduced the food consumption of the army, these soldiers stopped working.

"Why, why should we cut our food? Everyone put their heads on their belts in the hope of living a good life. Zheng Jing is good. He eats delicious food and drinks spicy food, which makes everyone hungry. How can this be the reason in the world?"

I don’t know who shouted first, and it immediately resonated.

These new recruits were not easy to mess with and started shouting.

"Yes, ask him to come out and give everyone an explanation. Why should we cut our food?"

"Protest, protest! He trapped everyone on this small island where birds don't shit. Everyone hasn't blamed him yet. He has started to cut everyone's food. This is too bullying."

"What kind of thing? Can you ignore the laws of the Ming Dynasty because you are the prince? Can you do whatever you want? Can you do it freely? How come the Guo surnamed gave birth to such a spoiled thing?"

The personal soldiers were so angry that they vomited blood when they heard this. In extraordinary times, the prince's throne had no choice but to cut the food for the soldiers. If they were not controlled, the food would be cut off on the island in a short time, and the consequences would be unimaginable at that time.

These guys can't stand the pain at all. They still shouted to ask for an explanation. What do they want to say?

Hum? What can they say? Could it be that His Royal Highness the Prince apologized to them in person?

They are worthy, too?

The personal soldier snorted coldly and said, "You guys are waiting."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

He brought back the words of the clamoring soldiers to Zheng Jing intact, and Zheng Jing was very angry after hearing this.

Why did this happen? He did nothing wrong, why did these soldiers target him like this?

"Your Highness, don't be angry first. I see, these soldiers are just talking nonsense. They dare not do anything."

Zheng Jing was even more angry when he heard this.

"Talking fun? Look at them, they are all going to ride on the head of this prince. Is it as simple as just talking jokes?"

Zheng Jing was so angry that he slapped him and said, "I really have to wait until the Yingxiao mutiny before taking measures, right?"

Seeing that His Royal Highness was angry, the personal soldiers quickly advised: "Do you want to arrest the people who took the lead in causing trouble and deal with it with military law?"

There is no doubt that so many people are causing trouble at the same time.

After hearing this, Zheng Jing nodded.

Zheng Jing’s idea is to control the situation as much as possible.

If the situation is allowed to ferment, the angry soldier may do the following evil things.

As the commander of the army, we cannot be merciful and must have the means we should have. Only in this way can we control the situation and not be too embarrassed.

"You go and pass the order now and mobilize all the direct officers and soldiers of the Zheng family in the army. This prince wants to clean up the door."

Zheng Jing rarely makes up his mind, so he naturally needs to fight quickly.

He didn't want him to feel soft and regretful after a while.

"Affect the order."

The personal soldiers had long disliked those clamoring soldiers. It would be better for His Royal Highness to be able to make up his mind to clean up the door.

But he said he went to pass the order, and soon afterwards he brought a group of Zheng's confidant soldiers.

Zheng Jing glanced and found that the number of people was only about one thousand, not too many.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you can suppress the situation.

Zheng Jing cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, the Japanese prince has ordered the reduction of the food consumption of soldiers in the army to reduce the consumption of food, and wait for reinforcements to come to help. But who knew that the army was instigated by some villains, causing most soldiers to shout indiscriminately and provoke this prince. Now I need you to set off immediately and follow me to pick out the villains who are provoking trouble with military law."

"Self-serving your Highness to the death!"

"Self-serving your Highness to the death!"

These Zheng family members naturally obeyed Zheng Jing's orders. As soon as Zheng Jing finished speaking, they all raised their arms and shouted to express their opinions.

Zheng Jing was naturally very satisfied.

The tiger does not show its power, and I really think I am a sick cat.

This prince is not easy to bully.

After saying that, he immediately turned around and walked towards the camp where the army was stationed.

More than a thousand people walked in a mighty manner, and they had quite some momentum.

The ordinary Ming soldiers in the camp were burying the pot to make rice. The fragrance of rice came to the nose, making people feel very happy and comfortable.

"Haha, I'll just say that the bullshit prince is just a soft-legged cat, and he knows how to whistle here. If he really has the ability, he will deal with the Japanese pirates. He can't deal with the Japanese pirates, so he will know how to yell at his own people, what is the ability and what kind of man he is."

"That's right, we have to join the group to keep warm. As long as we hug each other, he can't do anything to us."

"Do you know what the law is to not blame the public? That's the reason."

"Yes, he is still counting on everyone to earn military merit for him in wars, how could he go against us?"

"We should eat whatever we should. I want to see how this prince can react."

"Haha, I guess the prince's face turned green at this time, right?"

"Haha, it should be, he should be like this. Who told him to think he is?"
