Chapter 193 Food shortage problem
Seeing this, Ma Cheng could no longer control his anger. He still had no food to guard the city!
Ma Cheng stepped forward and fired his bow left and right, slapped five or six times, and then cursed: "Where has the food gone?"
At this time, Wanquan knew that he was dead. In order to ensure that his family was immortal, he had to tell the secrets of the Ministry of Revenue's granary.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang had vigorously stored grain since the founding of the People's Republic of China in Nanjing. Perhaps because Lao Zhu was afraid of being hungry when he was a child, he stipulated that all southern provinces would pay grain to Nanjing. The grain storages in Nanjing had been stockpiled all year round and drank a sip of wine after five years, and then continued: But our Wei Duke's Mansion has been scattered for more than 200 years, and the family has too many people, so I can't get so much food for a while!
Zhu Guobi didn't know what Xu Wenjue meant at this time, and he thought that this guy came to him to plead with Ma Shiying and get less food. So after hearing Xu Wenjue say that, Zhu Guobi patted his chest and said: This is simple, it's included in the uncle! Uncle and Yuanfu have a good relationship. You can talk to him about your nephew!
Xu Wenjue cursed in his heart when he heard Zhu Guobi say this. This old guy is really confused. That's what he meant.
Uncle, today I’m not looking for you for that little food! Just a few days ago, the bastard Ma Cheng led someone to seal my family’s property. If I hadn’t gone to the palace to ask for an imperial edict, the family would have been raided by the bastard Ma Cheng! Now that the Ma family is so domineering, and the northern enemy is gathered outside the city, the Nandu City may not be able to defend it!
Zhu Guobi was shocked when he heard Xu Wenjue say this. He stood up and cursed: Xu Wenjue, are you crazy? If these words are spread, do you still want to live?
Zhu Guobi scolded Xu Wenjue like this, but in fact he was not optimistic about Emperor Shaowu in the city. The reason is very simple, the strength of the two sides is too different.
The Qing army outside the city had more than 400,000, and with the continuous reinforcements from the north, Nanjing could not defend at all. If all prefectures and counties around Nanjing were in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, according to Zhu Guobi, Nanjing has now become an isolated city, and the entire Nanzhili has fallen into the hands of the Qing Dynasty. In Zhu Guobi's eyes, it was only a matter of time before the fall of this Nanjing city.
But Zhu Guobi didn't dare to say that. The bloody Wuying Palace coup a few months ago made Zhu Guobi see how bloody Ma Cheng's methods were. This guy did not let his own way, even his own relatives could catch him, so Zhu Guobi really didn't want to offend Ma Cheng.
However, the situation in Nanjing was getting worse and worse. The Qing army had stopped siege and now it had changed to siege. According to Zhu Guobi's estimate, people would be able to eat people in Nanjing in less than a few months. What should he do if Zhu Guobi's wealth is rich?
