At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 204 Kang Maocai: How many of you here will survive?

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.

To positive February 13, [-] years.

The cold wind suddenly picked up, and the wind blew on people like a knife, which made people extremely uncomfortable.

In addition to the cold wind, cold rain fell from time to time.

In this kind of weather, no one can be happy, let alone get up early, they all like to lie in bed, even if they do nothing, their hearts are always comfortable.

Of course, in the face of such bad weather, the people who depend on farming for a living still went to check the fields they planted despite the sins suffered by the weather.

If you don't look at it, you are always worried about the bad harvest in the coming year, and whether the harvest is good or not is a matter of life and death.

Therefore, at dawn, the people in Liuhe City ran to the fields outside the city in twos and threes.

The things grown in this field are the lifeblood of the people.

Cheng De was woken up by a cold wind that broke into the room through the gap in the window. After waking up, he found that Shen Lingling beside him was still asleep.

At this moment, Cheng De no longer felt sleepy.

Because his ears heard the movement outside the house - the wind whistling.

You can also hear the murmur of the rain.

Cheng De sighed softly in his heart, this ghostly weather has lasted for seven days, it is really worrying.

What he worries about is mainly what the people grow in the fields, the morale of the Sizhou Army trained in the Liuhe City military camp, and whether the people under the Sizhou Army will freeze to death.

According to the news sent to him by the Jueshengwei of Liuhe City, some of the people's crops grown in the fields could no longer be kept.It is estimated that there will be no better harvest in the coming year.

The emergence of this situation is related to the recent abnormal weather.

The temperature of the weather was extremely low, which made Cheng De extremely helpless.

According to the calculations of later generations, the temperature is probably more than ten degrees below zero.

This is very abnormal.

This extreme weather is a kind of torture for the common people.

In fact, for the Sizhou Army, it is also a huge test.

Wearing cold armor, his hands and feet were so cold that his skin was cracked, which seriously affected the daily training schedule of the Sizhou Army and the morale of the Sizhou Army.

Although all [-] medical soldiers have been arranged, the manpower is still insufficient.

According to the statistics submitted by He Wei, there are nearly [-] troops, and [-] soldiers have frostbite to varying degrees.

In severe cases, they are already bedridden.

The materials that He Jiusi transported before, including those used to keep warm, were extremely insufficient in this cruel world.

In fact, this kind of situation is not limited to the Sizhou Army in Liuhe City. According to the information from the generals of the Sizhou Army in various places, it has happened.

For this reason, Cheng De specially transferred Wang Lu to Liuhe City, and told him to develop an ointment that could solve chapped skin.After Wang Lu received the task assigned by Cheng De, he devoted himself to it without sleeping or eating. It has been three days.

In addition to these, the masters of the households in the Caos of Liuhe City reported some situations of the people in Liuhe City.

Liuhe City has a population of 1 households. Thousands of people died of freezing due to the severe cold, and [-] people suffered from chapped bodies.

The situation in Liuhe City alone is enough to get a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg caused by the cold weather.

And this is what Cheng De is quite worried about.

Based on the situation in Liuhe City, he couldn't help but think of Sizhou City, Haozhou City, and Huai'an City under his rule.
For this reason, Cheng Deyan ordered the local households to make statistics on the cold conditions of the local people, and asked the people in charge to distribute warm clothes and send ginger and hot soup to the people to relieve the cold.

The money spent on these things is all hung on the Sizhou Military Household Department.

However, the household department's relatively surplus money was being depleted at an alarming rate, which made Fang Ming, the head of the household department, feel terrified.

Fang Ming also wrote a document for this, and asked someone to send it to Cheng De for eight hundred miles.

After Cheng De read this document, it can be roughly summed up in five words: the household department has no money.

Cheng De even saw the implied meaning of the document: play money quickly.

Therefore, Cheng De also had a headache.

But what he sees is the overall situation, so he can only suffer from the household department.

After this period of time has passed, he will try to find a way to raise money for the household department.

Thinking of this, Cheng De pushed open the door full of thoughts.

A gust of wind like a knife blew on his face, causing Cheng De to frown.

After closing the door, Cheng De walked towards the study with strides.

When walking halfway, Cheng De suddenly thought that this was the case under his Sizhou army rule, so what kind of scene should the whole world be like?

The world, at this time, is actually even more chaotic.

The severe cold left many people without a way out.

They can only take risks, rob, steal, and kill.
Everything, just to survive.

There are more and more anti-Yuan troops uprising everywhere.

Of course, in contrast, the uprising army supporting Yuan is also gradually increasing.

In the whole world, except under the rule of the Sizhou Army, it is difficult to find a peaceful place.

However, even under the rule of the Sizhou Army, there is an undercurrent surging in the dark.

It seems that someone is taking the lead in uniting the Yuan supporters from all over the Sizhou Army.

However, the Jinyiwei and Jueshengwei under the Sizhou Army ruled everywhere, and all the troubles under the Sizhou Army's rule were under Cheng De's control.

Cheng De ignored the actions of these people. He waited for the strength of these people to increase, and then wiped them out in one fell swoop.

He had already secretly instructed He Sanwu and Cheng Ying to deal with this matter.

The current situation of the Sizhou Army is so severe, in fact, the Yuan Army is not much better.

This kind of severe cold weather not only made the soldiers of the uprising army cold, but also made the yuan army cold.

Especially the Yuan Army on Jiqing Road, apart from their physical coldness, their hearts were also gradually getting colder, and their eyes were even more devoid of energy, with only a pale face.

Because Jiqing Road is short of food.

Nowadays, although the Yuan army on Jiqing Road eats two meals a day, each meal is porridge, but there are not many rice grains in the porridge everyone gets.

This situation has been going on for two days.

"This way, I can't take it anymore!"

The commander of Jiqing Road, Fu Shou, expressed his dissatisfaction expressionlessly looking at the general under his command.

He knew that the lack of food on Jiqing Road was not only sad for the soldiers below, but also for them.

In the past, at least every meal was full, but now, they can only eat half full every meal.

Compared with the soldiers under their hands, they are actually much better.

"Jiqing Road is surrounded by the Sizhou army, especially the two armies of Liuhe City and Zhenjiang Road, staring at us. I have tried various methods before, sending people to other places to borrow food. But, I The people sent out are all dead. Do you think you are the only one who can't stand it? I can't stand it either! Instead of complaining about this here, you should think about how to get rid of the enemy, which is the top priority." Fushou said coldly Looking at the generals who were complaining.

Fushou's words made everyone silent.

"Kang Maocai, I heard that you and the people under your command have recently been beating the landlords in the city?" Fushou looked at Kang Maocai with a gloomy face.

When Kang Maocai heard the words, he frowned and thought to himself: Who leaked this matter?Or is it that Fushou planted his people by my side?
Kang Maocai raised his head to meet Fushou's gaze, and replied calmly: "My lord, I'm borrowing food from them, it's not just to fight the autumn wind. I will find a way to return it to them after the enemy retreats."

"My lord, I have something to say. Once the Sizhou army invades, no matter how much food these landlords have, it will be useless. At that time, it will be cheaper. The Sizhou army, instead of doing this, it is better to let our people first Fill the stomach."

Fushou patted the desk in front of him, and shouted: "Presumptuous! By doing this, aren't you forcing those landlords to join the enemy? Once the landlords who support us on Jiqing Road secretly contact Cheng De, we will die without a place to die." What’s more, they all support our Great Yuan Dynasty, and there are many nobles who have connections with Dadu.”

"You are not only digging the foundation of Dayuan by doing this, but you are also killing me! Once one of them reports this matter to the court, I will be deprived of my official position at least, and at worst, I will be imprisoned. Kang Maocai, you really let me I'm so disappointed! This time, let's remember you once, you take care of the people under you, if you hear about this kind of thing again, I will never let you go lightly. As for them, I will go to comfort them. "

When Kang Maocai heard this, his face was worried and his eyes were extremely gloomy.

Fushou didn't look at Kang Maocai's expression, but continued: "The current predicament can't go on like this. I want to personally lead the army to a decisive battle with the Sizhou army in three days. When the Sizhou army is defeated, the food woman will have everything. But If you don’t do anything, you can only sit and wait for death. You all go down and prepare well, use all the remaining food, so that the soldiers will have enough to eat in these three days, and it would be good to improve their morale. This time, we can only win, Can't lose!"

"Follow the order!" Everyone present responded one after another.

Kang Maocai looked at Fushou, who was above him, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

My lord, you are not someone who knows the army!

Thinking of this, Kang Mao felt that his future was bleak.

His heart began to shake a little.

If this time the Fushou battle is unfavorable, what should he do?

Perhaps, it would be a good place to vote for the Sizhou Army.

If Fushou is willing to listen to his opinion and borrow all the food owned by the landlords on Jiqing Road for his own people, Jiqing Road may not be able to continue for a period of time, and during this period, it may be possible to find new ones. Chance.

But, things backfired.

After Kang Maocai sighed lightly, he no longer had any expectations for Da Yuan in his heart.

He had already decided that if Fushou was defeated, he would open the door and surrender with Fushou's head.

In this way, he can exchange for a credit with the Sizhou Army, and maybe get a good official position.

Those who know the current affairs are handsome.

In the face of the general trend, no matter what you do, it is difficult to change anything, it is better to follow the trend.

Kang Maocai took a deep look at Fushou, then at the generals around him, and said to himself: I wonder how many of you here will survive the next big battle?
