Sometimes the people even began to migrate spontaneously without the need for orders from the Liberation Army.
Because everyone knows what the Qing army is like!
Now the Liberation Army has passed through the area. When the Qing army comes back to recover the area, they will inevitably massacre and loot the city again.
In order to avoid being massacred by the Qing army, the common people either fled to the countryside or prayed that the Qing army would not pass through here!
Otherwise, you will also be killed!
After the Liberation Army promised to manage food along the way and allocate farmland to local areas, a large number of people spontaneously chose to migrate to Macau.
No need for an army to force you with bayonets!
Of course, there are also many people who choose to hide in the wild, hoping to wait for the war to end before returning to their hometowns.
Zhu Hongyu has no good solution for this!
We can only try our best to catch them if we find them. If we can't find them, we can only let nature take its course.
"Your Highness Jianguo, nearly 100,000 people have already migrated to Macau!"
"I'm afraid the food and grass our army has hoarded in Macau is not enough!"
Zhu Hongyu’s secretary-general Wang Ruxian said.
The Liberation Army has no shortage of food. Whether it is Qiongzhou or Luzon, both are places with three crops a year, and there is plenty of food!
Not to mention 100,000 people, even 200,000 or 300,000 people can be afforded by the Liberation Army!
However, the biggest problem at present is that the Liberation Army does not have much food hoarded in Macau.
Although Zhu Hongyu still had plans to snatch people from the mainland and made preparations for it.
The top priority is to stockpile a large amount of food, cloth, salt and other daily necessities in advance and transport them to Macau!
However, as the war progressed, the consumption rate of food and other supplies was beyond his expectation.
If the granary in Macao reaches the bottom before the next batch of grain from Qiongzhou and Luzon is delivered, something big will happen!
Zhu Hongyu said.
"Send an order to the logistics department and ask them to give priority to transporting food, salt, cloth and other daily necessities when transporting materials. We can discuss it later."
If there is a shortage of salt and cloth, it can be tolerated temporarily, but if the food is gone, something will really happen.
"Macau is almost out of food, but the landlords and gentry have food!"
"Our army must attack the treasonous gentry under our rule as much as possible."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
The Liberation Army marched all the way north, and the people fled south.
However, almost all the landowners and gentry made the choice to take their families north and flee to Guangzhou City to avoid the military disaster!
It can be seen that these landowners and gentry do not believe that Ming Dynasty can gain a firm foothold on the mainland!
Still choose to side with the Manchus and Qing Dynasties!
However, these landowners and gentry can run away and bury their money in cellars, which the Liberation Army will definitely not be able to find in a short time.
But what about food?
The landlords and gentry will not be able to take away a commodity such as grain for a while, nor can they hide it.
I definitely won’t bear to burn it!
After all, everyone has a sense of luck!
If the food is left there, will it still be in good condition when they return to the place?
If it is not burned, there is still a chance that the food will be preserved.
If it were set on fire, there would really be nothing left!
As for whether putting the food there will endanger the enemy?
The landlords and gentry in Guangzhou said hehe.
They did not follow the Ming Dynasty and chose to side with the Qing Dynasty. This was because they were afraid of the Qing Dynasty's power and did not believe that the Ming Dynasty could fight back.
It doesn’t mean they have a good impression of the Manchus!
For the people of Guangzhou, it's enough to be enemies. They are happy to be able to add trouble to this piece of shit like Shang Kexi!
Therefore, for the Liberation Army, the granary of the landlords and gentry was there, with a large amount of grain stored in it.
How can we still be short of food?
Just open it and use it!
If there is really no ability to transport this grain, you can open warehouses and release grain to the people, and let them carry their rations southward.
If one person could carry over a hundred kilograms of food southward, he would be damned afraid of starving to death!
Wang Ruxian understood Zhu Hongyu's hint and said.
"Don't worry, the supervisor, I understand!"
Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and ordered to urge the army to continue fighting towards Foshan.
The Liberation Army began to act according to Zhu Hongyu's instructions, and the local granaries set up by the landlords and gentry in Guangzhou were opened one after another.
The Liberation Army generously opened warehouses and distributed grain to the people!
Moreover, there are no restrictions on the quantity. You can take as much as you want without affecting the transfer speed.
For the Liberation Army, the more food the people carry with them, the better!
It’s not like the landowners and gentry didn’t arrange for someone to guard the granary!
But facing the soldiers of the Liberation Army, who were equipped with guns and cannons and looked fierce, these servants guarding the courtyard could not even make a small splash.
Often, not only could they not stop the Liberation Army from opening warehouses to release grain, they would even be kidnapped and driven away by the Liberation Army!
It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his troops!
…
A large number of people moved south along the way, towards Macau.
The Liberation Army marched all the way north, constantly defeating the Qing army's scattered garrisons on the ground.
After learning that all 7,008 Banner soldiers were annihilated and annihilated by the Ming and British coalition forces, the resistance of the local green camp suddenly dropped by more than one level in the face of the menacing Ming army.
In the eyes of these Green Camp soldiers, even the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers were defeated by the "Ming-British Allied Forces". How could they win?
If you don't surrender to save your life, do you have to wash your neck and wait to be killed?
Along the way north, the Ming army captured many Qing prisoners of war.
Facing the Ming army that defeated the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, these Qing troops behaved quite tamely.
The Ming army approaches Foshan!
Twenty miles outside Foshan town, we finally encountered an obstacle and encountered a green camp of several thousand Qing troops who had been ordered to come to Foshan to stop the Ming army.
Facing the Liberation Army, which was holding muskets and marching in order, the Qing army's array was visibly shaken.
Boom! Boom!
The sound of cannons sounded one after another.
Solid artillery shells flew across the air, tearing apart the bodies of the Qing soldiers.
The cavalry of the Ming army jumped out of the formation and displayed the flags and armor of the Qing army they had captured outside Tanzhou Town in front of the opposing Qing army.
Seeing so many broken Eight Banners cotton armor and flags, the Qing army's green camp wavered even more.
They used to be in awe of the Eight Banners soldiers, but now they are so afraid of the Ming army!
Without the Eight Banners soldiers to suppress the formation, the morale of these Qing army green battalions was extremely low.
The soldiers of the Liberation Army launched a charge amidst fierce artillery fire and the sound of rockets being released.
The infantry are neatly arrayed, and their sharp bayonets form a bayonet forest!
Facing the charge of the Liberation Army, the Qing army shrank its array to respond.
However, at the moment when the two sides came into contact, the musketeers of the Liberation Army pulled the trigger.
Most of the Qing troops in the front row were killed immediately!
The remaining people didn't even have time to react before they saw their comrades beside them being killed by musketry.
Blood spurts and brains splatter!
After the face-to-face firing of musketry, the Liberation Army took advantage of the situation and launched a charge.
The Qing army collapsed at the first touch!
The battlefield was full of defeated Qing troops!
The Liberation Army won the Battle of Foshan and removed the last roadblock to Foshan.
