The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 249 Food Issues (Subscribe)

Sometimes even without the need for an order from the Restoration Army, the people began to migrate spontaneously.

Because everyone knows what kind of urine the Qing army is!
Now the recovery army has gone through the area once, and when the Qing army comes back to regain the area, they will inevitably have to massacre and loot the city again.

In order not to be slaughtered by the Qing army, the common people either fled to the countryside, and they had to pray that the Qing army would not pass through here!
Otherwise, he would be killed!

After the Liberation Army promised to take care of food along the way and distribute land in local areas, a large number of people spontaneously chose to move to Macau.

There is no need for the army to force it with bayonets!

Of course, there are also many people who choose to hide in the wild, wanting to wait for the end of the war before returning to their hometown.

Zhu Hongyu has nothing to do about it!

We can only catch as much as we can if we find it, and we can only let nature go if we can't find it.

"Your Highness Jian Guo, nearly [-] people have already moved to Macau!"

"I'm afraid the food and grass hoarded by our army in Macau may not be enough!"

Wang Ruxian, Zhu Hongyu's secretary-general, said.

There is no shortage of food for the Liberation Army. Whether it is Qiongzhou or Luzon, it is a place where there are three crops a year, and there is a lot of food!
Let alone 10 people, even 20 or 30 Liberation Army can afford it!
However, the biggest problem at present is that there is not much food hoarded by the Liberation Army in Macau.

Although Zhu Hongyu still has plans to snatch people from the mainland, and is prepared for it.

Hoarding a large amount of food, cloth, salt and other daily necessities in advance and transporting them to Macau is the top priority!
However, as the war progressed, the consumption rate of food and other materials exceeded his expectations.

If the granaries in Macau bottom out before the next batch of grain from Qiongzhou and Luzon arrives, something big will happen!

Zhu Hongyu said.

"Send an order to the logistics department to let them prioritize the transportation of food, salt, cloth and other daily necessities when transporting materials, which can be discussed later."

If there is a shortage of salt and cloth, it can be tolerated temporarily, but if there is no food, something will happen.

"Macau is running out of food, but the landlords and gentry have food!"

"Our army will fight against the traitorous gentry under our rule as much as possible."

"Do you understand the meaning of Gu?"

The recovery army went north all the way, and the people fled to flee, and those who went south went south.

However, almost all the landlords and gentry made the choice to take their families northward and flee to Guangzhou City to avoid the military disaster!
It can be seen that these landlords and gentry do not believe that Daming can gain a firm foothold on the mainland!

Still choose to stand on the side of the Qing Dynasty!
It's just that these landlords and gentry can run away, and the silver can be buried in the cellar, and the Liberation Army will definitely not find it in a short time.

But what about food?

Landlords and gentry cannot take away or hide grain as a bulk commodity for a while.

Burning must be reluctant!

After all, people have a fluke mentality!

What if the food is put there, and when they return to the place, the food is still good?

If it is not burned, there is still a little possibility of food preservation.

If it really set fire to it, then there would really be nothing left!

As for whether the food will be used by the enemy if it is placed there?

Landlords and gentry in Guangzhou said hehe.

They didn't follow Daming and chose to stand in line with Manqing, because they were afraid of Manqing's despotic power and didn't believe that Daming could fight back.

It doesn't mean they have a good impression of Man Qing!

For the people of Guangzhou, being an enemy is just being an enemy, and they are happy to be able to add trouble to Shang Kexi, a bastard!
Therefore, for the Restoration Army, the granary of the landlords and gentry was there, and there was still a lot of grain in it.

How can this be short of food?

Just open it and use it!
If you are really unable to transport these grains, you can open warehouses for the common people to release grain, and let the common people carry their own rations to the south.

If one person can bring a hundred catties of grain with him to the south, he is afraid that he will starve to death!

Wang Ruxian understood Zhu Hongyu's hint and spoke.

"Relax the state supervisor, I understand!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and ordered to urge the army to continue to fight towards Foshan.

The recovery army began to follow Zhu Hongyu's orders, and the granaries set up by the landlords and gentry in Guangzhou were opened one after another.

The Liberation Army is very generous to open warehouses and release food for the common people!
Moreover, there is no limit to the quantity, and 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 that the landlords and gentry did not arrange guards in the granaries!

But in the face of the menacing soldiers of the Restoration Army with all their guns and guns, these servants and guards couldn't even stir up a small wave.

Often right and wrong can not stop the recovery army from opening warehouses to release food, and even they themselves will be taken away by the recovery army!

It can be said that he lost his wife and lost his army!

……

A large number of people went south along the way, migrating in the direction of Macau.

The Guangfu Army went all the way northward, constantly defeating the scattered troops of the Qing Army on the ground.

After learning that the soldiers of the Seven Thousand and Eight Banners had been annihilated and wiped out by the Ming-British coalition forces, the local Green Battalion garrisoned in the face of the menacing Ming army, and their resistance suddenly dropped by more than one notch.

In the eyes of these green battalion soldiers, even the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners were defeated by the "Mingying Allied Forces", how could they win?

If you don't surrender to save your life, do you want to wash your neck and wait to be killed?
Along the way north, the Ming army captured many Qing army prisoners of war.

Facing the Ming army who defeated the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, these Qing troops behaved quite tame.

The Ming army is approaching Foshan!

Twenty miles outside of Foshan Town, they finally encountered obstacles. They encountered a green camp of thousands of Qing troops who were ordered to come to Foshan to stop the Ming army.

Facing the Liberation Army marching in neat formation with muskets in hand, the formation of the Qing army was visibly shaken by the naked eye.

boom!Boom!

Cannons rang out one after another.

The solid shells flew across, tearing apart the bodies of the Qing soldiers.

The cavalry of the Ming army jumped out and displayed the Qing army's flags and armor they 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 battalion wavered more and more.

How much they were in awe of the Eight Banners soldiers in the past, how much they fear the Ming army now!
In the absence of the Eight Banners soldiers, the morale of these green battalions of the Qing army dropped to the extreme.

The soldiers of the Liberation Army launched a charge amidst the fierce artillery and the sound of rockets being released.

The infantry formations are neat and orderly, and the sharp bayonets form a bayonet forest!
Facing the charge of the recovery army, the Qing army shrank its array to deal with it.

However, at the moment when the two sides came into contact, the Musketeers of the Liberation Army pulled the trigger close to their faces.

Most of the Qing troops in the front row were killed immediately!
The rest of the people didn't even have time to react, they saw the comrades around them being shot dead by muskets.

Blood sprayed, brains splattered everywhere!

After firing a volley of muskets close to the face, the Liberation Army took advantage of the situation and launched a charge.

The Qing army will collapse at the first touch!
The mountains and plains on the battlefield are full of routs of the Qing army!

The Restoration Army won the Battle of Foshan and removed the last roadblock leading to Foshan.
