The situation at Minwy Castle is very bad.

This is the most remote place in Jimo County. The land is barren, surrounded by mountains, and facing the sea. The military field in the Battle Fort can't produce much food at all. In the past, we could get some food and salaries from the county. Now the whole Dengzhou , Most of Laizhou was controlled by Kong Youde, and the environment was extremely chaotic. Naturally, it was impossible for food and salaries to be sent here.

Ma Dingyuan did not surrender to Kong Youde. There are rebels around Mingwei Fort every day, and their lives are in danger when they go out to fight. Many refugees fled to Mingwei Fort. Ma Dingyuan is hard-hearted and soft-hearted. They took part of the millet that was in short supply in the fort to make porridge and distributed it to the refugees.

As a result of doing so, there were more and more refugees outside the fort, and the people inside the fort also had some criticisms of Ma Dingyuan's deeds.

There is not much food, and if it is given to the refugees, they will have nothing. Who knows when the court will appease Kong Youde.Even if the military chaos is really quelled, so what, the imperial court’s military pay and food are all sent to Liaodong. Dengzhou and Laizhou have always been places that the imperial court has forgotten. The tragedy of cannibalism.

If Kong Youde hadn't launched a military rebellion to occupy Dengzhou, the imperial court would not have looked here.It is said that crying children have milk to eat, and Liaodong is crying for poverty every day. Chongzhen knew that most of the army's salary was divided up by the generals of the Liaodong frontier army, so he still tried his best to gather military supplies and send them over. Jiannu, then Daming has no barriers to resist Jiannu's iron hooves.

Tens of thousands of refugees just lay outside Mingwei Fort, and now Ma Dingyuan couldn't get off the tiger, and continued to give gruel.The military households in the fort were dissatisfied, and there were only five hundred shi of food left.Converted to the current unit of the earth, it is about 3000 catties.There are more than [-] people in Mingwei Castle. No matter how economical they are, they still have to eat ten stones a day. Five hundred stones are only enough for them to consume for more than a month, not to mention supplying the needs of tens of thousands of refugees outside the castle.

Not serving porridge is also a big problem. The famished refugees don't think about whether there is enough food in the fort. In case of an attack on the gate of Mingwei Fort, the people of Mingwei Fort will be determined to eliminate these refugees.There is no other way to think about it.

Ma Dingyuan frowned, perhaps he should have listened to his subordinates' persuasion and ignored the refugees outside the fort.

"Yuzhi, what do you think you should do now?"

What Ma Dingyuan asked was his own Zhang Wencheng, named Youzhi, one of the hundred households under Ma Dingyuan's subordinates, and also his staff, who was deeply trusted by Ma Dingyuan.

Zhang Wencheng said with a wry smile: "Lord Qianhu, at the beginning, my subordinates said that we can't give porridge to refugees. Now we can't stop it. If we stop, it will definitely stir up civil uprisings, unless your lord is determined to slaughter all the refugees. Naturally, it won't happen in the future." Refugees continue to come."

Ma Dingyuan shook his head and said, "Of course this is impossible."

Zhang Wencheng had no choice but to say: "Now the only way is to borrow food from other people."

"Borrowing food?" Ma Dingyuan was stunned for a moment: "Who are you borrowing from?"

"Gentlemen in Jiaozhou! Grain merchants!" Zhang Wencheng said word by word.

Ma Dingyuan shook his head and said, "It's impossible for them to lend it to us."

A fierce light flashed in Zhang Wencheng's eyes: "If you don't borrow it, grab it!"

Ma Dingyuan's face changed: "You are crazy! Even Kong Youde's rebels dare not loot the property of the gentry. What do we use to rob this small house of thousands of households in Mingwei Castle?"

"Even if we really want to rob it. Those gentry and big families all have their own private soldiers. The quality of our military households in Fort Mingwei is far inferior to their private soldiers, and the weapons are also worn out. How can we rob them with only a thousand or a few hundred people?" ?”

The gentry is the foundation of Ming Dynasty's rule. It can be said that if you offend the gentry class, you will offend the entire Ming Dynasty. Don't play the gentleman's idea.

The same is true for those grain merchants. Laizhou and Dengzhou don’t produce much grain, especially now that it’s the Little Ice Age, when grain production is reduced all over the country and there is a famine. Starve to death, unless Kong Youde, like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, uprising and looting everywhere to make a living.

Zhang Wencheng ignored Ma Dingyuan's scolding, and said without hesitation: "Lord Qianhu! Naturally, our few people can't get food, but now there are tens of thousands of refugees outside!"

"We just need to secretly send people to encourage them, saying that Jiaozhou has a lot of food, and lead them to Jiaozhou. They don't need to do it themselves, and these refugees will get the food by themselves."

His plan was also considered vicious. On the one hand, he could take the opportunity to lure refugees away, and on the other hand, he could fish in troubled waters by getting grain from the gentry grain merchants and transporting it back to Fort Mingwy.

Ma Dingyuan pondered, with some hesitation on his face, Zhang Wencheng continued: "My lord! Kong Youde can make chaos, why can't we make chaos? In this world, where there are soldiers and food, even the officials dare not move us lightly. If we are robbed Food, with tens of thousands of refugees in our hands, we have a firm foothold here, really not, it doesn’t matter if Kong Youde is demoted, we are going to starve to death!”

Ma Dingyuan patted his forehead, and said in annoyance: "Forget it, don't spread your words. The food in the fort can last for a while, and there is really no way to talk about it."

"Didn't the Golden Wolf Immortal Master say he would come back to help us last time? Maybe he will arrive later."

Zhang Wencheng sighed: "My lord, there is such a cheap thing in the world, even if that person is really a heavenly master, so many people who starve to death don't care, why do you help us at Mingwei Castle? There must be something you want."

Ma Dingyuan was still about to say something, when suddenly a soldier ran in panting, "My lord, Immortal Master Golden Wolf is here!"

"What?" Ma Dingyuan stood up suddenly, "When did Immortal Master Golden Wolf come?"

The soldier gasped and said: "Not long after we came, the sky flashed blank, and the Golden Wolf Immortal Master appeared, out of thin air, he transformed white rice and distributed it to the refugees outside the fort, and took out a big iron pot to let the refugees You can cook by yourself. Many military households in the fort ran out to get a lot of rice from the immortal master."

He licked his mouth: "Those rice are plump and high-quality rice. I'm afraid people in the palace won't be able to eat it. It must be the food of the immortal family. It's transformed like this, and it's given to refugees without taking a cent. It really has an extremely compassionate heart." The Immortal Master of the Upper Realm."

Both Ma Dingyuan and Zhang Wencheng took a breath, and said in horror: "There is such a thing?"

In a society where there is not enough to eat all year round, no magical means can compare to directly transforming food!So what about the legendary Great Immortal of the White Lotus Sect who is invulnerable to swords and guns, calls wind and rain, and spreads beans to form soldiers. Can he change food for believers to eat?It's not about letting people grab food.To conjure food like Ye Feiyu's is simply an unimaginable supernatural power!

Ma Dingyuan and Zhang Wencheng hurriedly left the fort, and before reaching the loess city wall, they heard an extremely loud voice saying loudly: "Everyone, don't fight, everyone can get the food, whoever messes up, Then the qualification for food distribution will be cancelled."

Ma Dingyuan and the others were still 600 meters away from the city wall. The voice sounded in their ears, and the noisy voices of tens of thousands of refugees were covered. Ma Dingyuan couldn't help but wondered, "What kind of fairy trick is this?"

The soldier who came to report quickly explained: "My lord, this is a magic weapon of the Golden Wolf Immortal Master, which can amplify the voice a hundred times. Just now the Golden Wolf Immortal Master appeared out of thin air and stunned many refugees. Later, the Immortal Master mercifully , Seeing the refugees kneeling down and praying, they took out food, which caused riots among the refugees. They couldn't hear what the fairy master said, and finally the fairy master took out the magic weapon of the fairy family. Follow the instructions of the immortal master and line up to receive the immortal food."

Ma Dingyuan nodded calmly, and then climbed up the city wall, and he saw the refugees who were laying lifeless outside the city, lying down on the ground to save their energy. At this time, they were all lined up. The row was crooked, but there was no uproar in the end.

Immortal Master Golden Wolf's supernatural powers are indeed shocking. Even the most brave and ruthless ruffian dare not make any small moves at this time, obediently holding a broken bowl and crock pot, waiting for the gift from the immortal master. fairy food.

Behind the team, there were many faces Ma Dingyuan was familiar with. Those were Mingwei Castle military households who had received the news and rushed out of the castle to distribute food.

Naturally, Ye Feiyu didn't know how shocking the refugees were when she took out the food from her private space. Seeing the refugees obediently queuing up to receive the food, she didn't take it seriously. Anyway, three thousand catties of food is nothing. Let these refugees be in awe of themselves, but it will be easier to control them and facilitate their own implementation of the plan.

If it were someone else, they might be afraid that their lives would be in danger due to looting, but for these ordinary people, Ye Feiyu is called a fairy master without exaggeration. He has a huge strength of two thousand kilograms and a nerve response that is several times higher than ordinary people. Speed, coupled with protective shields and amulets, can even avoid bullets, so that the cannon will not be life-threatening. I am not afraid that the refugees will lose control and loot food.

Ma Dingyuan saw it clearly from the top of the wall. After the local sacks of rice were distributed, Immortal Jinlang made a move with the palm of his hand, and another big sack appeared out of thin air. It looked like it weighed two stones. After opening it, it was indeed dazzlingly white After serving the rice, he scooped out a large spoonful and poured it out to the refugees who lined up without hesitation.

There are several big pots set up beside it, and the firewood is burning red in the ground. With the method of the immortal master, it is not like Ma Dingyuan cooks the extremely thin millet porridge. Ma Dingyuan can smell it hundreds of meters away. With the unbearable meaty aroma in it, this porridge actually put meat in it!

The huge golden wolf squatted quietly behind the immortal master, examining every refugee with sharp eyes.

Its existence let the refugees know that the immortal teacher Ye Feiyu is not only compassionate, if anyone dares to disobey the guidance of the immortal teacher, this huge fairy wolf will let those people know the killing methods of the immortal family. (To be continued..)
