Chapter 335: You are cruel! (Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!)
On the street, there are many women, young and beautiful, who used to be young ladies from wealthy families, and many of them are young ladies from good families. [ ] Starting from a month ago, in this city, with a small bag of rice,
If you can exchange for a young lady to sleep with you, half a month ago it started to only require one meal, and now it only requires one steamed bun. But at this time, no one is willing to trade even one steamed bun, and no one knows Yan Jun
How long the city will be trapped, no one knows when the imperial army will come to relieve the siege. Even the big families who still have some food left at home are frugal and will never waste a grain of food again.
It's summer, and people who died of starvation are lying in the streets and alleys. Because the cleaning team has been disbanded and cannot be cleaned up in time, some bodies have been left there for many days. It is the extremely hot weather in July. After the heavy rain, those dead bodies
Just soaking in the rain puddles, and then being exposed to the scorching sun, the whole body slowly swelled like a steamed bun. At some point, there was a "poof", and the stomach exploded, and the smell of corpses filled the air, making people want to vomit.
.
But those people not far away were numb and seemed to be completely unconscious. They were just lying there, with their bellies bloated, because there was nothing but water in there, and other things that seemed edible but had no nutrition.
With your belly open, you can see the color inside.
There is no expression on their faces at all. They just lie there, staring at the sky. Sometimes they will say "Hungry, hungry..." twice. At this time, you know that he is still alive. In their silence
Sometimes, his eyes are fixed and motionless, and you don't even know whether he is dead or alive.
The army began to take action. All rules and laws in peacetime must be subject to military needs in wartime. The soldiers searched for food from house to house. As soon as smoke came out of any house, they would be discovered by the soldiers patrolling the streets immediately.
They will come to search the house and take away the pots. In wartime, everything will be done according to the authority, and all food will be supplied.
Defending Jinan will be a supreme feat and honor, but inevitably, those people who are unwilling to be tied to the chariot must bear the consequences of this war. A gate was opened in Jinan City, and a group of refugees
They were released to fend for themselves. Just as they were lucky to have escaped into Jinan City, they were secretly lucky to be the first to escape from Jinan City.
Because the officers and soldiers of the Yan army did not understand what was going on with these sallow-looking refugees who would collapse at the first blow, they suddenly ran out of the city, so the first group of people to escape from the city were lucky enough to escape. Even more fortunately, some of them
The man also received alms from some soldiers, who threw him a half-eaten bun.
However, when the Yan army understood the intention of the city defenders, King Zhu Di of Yan gave an order. The barracks outside the siege city became another siege city, and no one was allowed to come out unless the city defenders surrendered.
Otherwise, all refugees must return to the city.
The refugees wanted to go back to the city, but they couldn't. When they were driven out of the city, the city gate was firmly sealed again. These refugees could not move forward or retreat. No matter how they beat the city gate, cried, or begged, the city
The door remained motionless; no matter how hard they broke in, kneeling down, and even some girls and young wives shamelessly exposed their breasts and sacrificed their looks in an attempt to gain Yan Jun's mercy, they were always greeted by cold swords and guns.
one day……
In this place, there is no water to drink. In order to express their determination to expel them, water bags will not be dropped on the city walls. In order to express their determination not to accept them, the Yan army outside the trenches will of course not give them a gourd to drink from.
Some people who were extremely weak just lay down like this.
The next day, another group of people were driven out of the city. At this time, not many of the people who were driven out on the first day could still stand or sit. Most of them were lying on their knees under the scorching sun, struggling to survive with the last breath of life.
Three days later, another group of people were driven out... "Master Iron..." Several petty officials saw the miserable scene in the city and couldn't bear it anymore.
"No need to say it! If Tie Xuan can take his own life, why would he regret this life? But..., in order to defeat Yan Ni, he has to do it! Compassion cannot control troops, and emotion cannot establish affairs! You don't need to say it! Continue to do it every day
Batch, drive away the refugees and don’t allow them to carry grains of rice out of the city!”
The petty officials only retreated.
Tie Xuan stood still, maybe his heart was bleeding, but his face was as cast as iron, without a trace of emotion. What his eyes saw was not just the Jinan city under his nose, he could see further.
, he wants to thwart Yan Ni’s plan and protect the emperor’s empire. The soldiers can shed their blood and sacrifice, but who can’t?
Looking up at the Yanjun camp, Zhu Di was also motionless.
Tie Xuan wanted to disperse the people to collect grain for military needs, how could he not know? If Tie Xuan was allowed to calmly implement his plan, he would have to increase the casualties of his siege officers and soldiers. Who would be more ruthless? Zhu Di sneered.
"Please, please let us go. We are not soldiers of the imperial court. Please..."
The pleas were not loud, because they were too hungry to speak. Those soldiers were all murderers who beheaded on the battlefield without changing their expressions, but fighting on the battlefield was one thing, and this was equivalent to torturing defenseless civilians, then
It's another thing; it's one thing to kill him with one knife, but it's another thing to watch them linger and exhaust their last bit of life force.
For the Yan army soldiers who guarded one side of the trench to prevent the refugees from escaping, this was also an unspeakable torture. They watched those people die inch by inch, or they could not bear the hunger and thirst and committed suicide.
There are also some dying mothers who, seeing that they cannot escape, throw their dying babies or children of several years old across the trenches. What do you do? Can you throw them back again?
Qiu Fu, the leader of the forward camp, had been patient for a few days, but he couldn't go on anymore. He talked to Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu and other close friends, and they all came to Zhu Di together.
Before they could speak, Zhu Di said calmly: "Zhu Di is a rebel of Yan, and you are bandits of Yan. You and I are all treasonous and immoral, and we should be implicated in the rebellion of the nine tribes. But the people who were supposed to be protected by them have actually become their victims."
Is it funny to be a hostage who holds the winning chip? Compassion does not command troops, kindness does not make a king, I am only responsible for my soldiers and people!"
After hearing this, the generals were stunned and kept silent for a moment. Zhang Yu, who was most favored by Zhu Di, was encouraged by the looks of the generals. He stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan and others' treacherous plots, the generals will naturally understand.
, but even though they have sinister intentions, we have to take action."
"Oh, how do you say it?"
Zhu Di moved slightly, then turned around and asked.
Zhang Yudao: "Your Highness, the city is indeed short of food. Although it is true that they robbed the people of food to supply military supplies, they believe that the dynasty is orthodox and righteous. Any behavior can be claimed to be for the sake of the country. They can say that these people stay in the city.
Sooner or later, they will die. If we let them out of the city, we will let them fend for themselves. If we allow countless refugees to die under the city, the people of the world will scold His Highness and the Yan army."
Zhu Di was silent after hearing this. He walked slowly in the tent for a long time before he stood still and sighed: "Tie Xuan, you are so cruel! You win this round!"
※
After two months, Xia Xun's stored grain and pickles were almost gone. He also started to panic. What should he do if this continues?
He often went out to look for news. Although he could not grasp the news outside the city, he could learn more about the city's reaction through the mouths of the refugees. The miserable scene like hell on earth shocked him. He also wanted to help others, but he could
Who should he help? Even the officers and soldiers who are supposed to protect the countryside and the people have food stores that can last for several months, but they have begun to take precautions to snatch the life-saving food from the people. What can he do?
He had food in hand, but he could only let others die miserably. Xia Xun's conscience was tortured endlessly. He woke up from nightmares countless times. The only thing he could do was to reduce the time he spent out.
Not seeing it was pure, until his heart became numb due to the commonplace.
He no longer dared to think about thank you. He once walked all over the city and still couldn't find the girl with the cool image of thank you. Now he no longer wants to look for it. He just hopes that thank you is not in the city. Otherwise, he might find the girl
It's just a pile of rotten flesh and white bones, or else...
Whenever he goes out and sees the rows of women sitting dully on the roadside, no matter who they are, they just take out a steamed bun and shake it, then follow him obediently and let him do whatever they want, and he shudders.
At this moment, cheers rang out in the city. Xia Xun, who was sitting in the backyard of Changchun Temple and was worried, jumped up in surprise. He thought to himself: "Could it be that King Yan has retreated?" The traces drawn on the pillars to count the days were densely packed.
More than a month later, he couldn't remember exactly how long King Yan besieged the city. He was so happy that he quickly climbed over the wall and ran to the street.
Compared to the countless sallow, thin, weak people on the street, Xia Xun can be regarded as a dragon and a tiger, even though he has been eating pickles for two months. Of course, there are still people with similar looks to Xia Xun, and they are rich
People always have some methods of their own. Money can guide the gods. This is an iron rule that applies at all times.
When Xia Xun usually went out to inquire about news, he had heard that Cao Yaneiyu, the son of Mr. Cao, the Inspector General, secretly sold grain and grass. The grain he sold was priced in gold and silver. In order to survive, those who did not have much grain in the government
Rich people have to buy food from him. Even if they lose everything, they still have to be grateful to him. After all...at this time, you can't buy food from others even if you have money.
"The King of Yan has released us. The King of Yan has allowed us to leave Jinan."
Between words, it was as if Jinan City had become a ghost town, and now it was finally possible to escape from purgatory. The skinny refugees, who had already dried up their tears, were bursting with tears at this moment, but they were inexplicably excited. Invariably, they all rushed to the only building that could open to the outside world.
The east city gate is opened. Although the steps are faltering, there is hope of survival after all.
The East City Gate is just like when the refugees poured into Jinan City. Countless people, including the residents of Jinan City, supported the old and young, desperately trying to squeeze out of the city. However, the city gate was only half-open, and many were holding weapons.
The soldiers forcibly compressed the people near the city gate into a row. They stood up to prevent the Yan army from charging into the city and could close the door at any time.
"Get out, get out!"
The soldiers of the Ming army nodded one by one: "You, step aside. You, come over too!"
Xia Xun was a little confused: "Why are some people allowed to leave and others not allowed to leave?"
He stood in the escape team and carefully observed those people who had been selected out and were not allowed to leave the city. Suddenly his heart skipped a beat: "No! There are more men than women among these people, but regardless of gender, as long as those who have been selected out are as weak as those who can't help walking,
Comparing all the shaky people, they all look good and have some strength. They picked these people out, damn! They caught the strong men, this is..., old man! You are so cruel!"
