Chapter 503 Food

Zhu Cilang is still very satisfied with Zheng Sen's arrangement. Although we are at a disadvantage at this stage, we cannot just stay idle. Under limited conditions, we can do something that makes the other party uncomfortable. That is still very good.

Although we cannot do anything to Haoge's people for the time being, the people here are not idle, and they block the entire Shaanxi's journey out of the province.

Then Haoge can only find some small paths. Although these small paths can also be used, just like Dorgon flees north, we will have more opportunities to snipe them.

As for Haoge's intention to become king in Shaanxi, Zhu Cilang didn't believe it. Even if Haoge had this idea, Zheng Sen would not let him do it.

Of course, the people in Shaanxi suffered a loss during this period. These guys really did everything here, but Zhu Cixuan and the others had no other way, they could only protect the vicinity of the military camp. As for other places, it was really beyond the reach.

However, the wisdom of the people cannot be underestimated. When they saw that it was safe near the Ming army camp, they immediately moved here with their families.

Anyway, the whole family had nothing valuable. They brought a few pieces of changing clothes and settled down near the Ming army camp.

As for Li Zicheng's side, Zhu Cilang has already issued an order to Zheng Sen, trying not to cooperate with Li Zicheng's people.

Unless it is because of the common people, Li Zicheng would be allowed to face Haoge's army alone, which can be regarded as a disguised weakening of Li Zicheng.

If the imperial court directly removed their military power, it would be untenable in justice. Now Haoge has helped.

Under the impact of the Qing army, Li Zicheng's army was almost unable to support it. They quickly gave up all the strongholds in Shaanxi and retreated quickly towards Xi'an.

After all, there is their nest. If they are all gathered together, they can last for a while.

Originally, Li Zicheng's army was about to fail to hold on. They had no precise organization and no long-term plans.

It is very normal to say that they are stumbled. Now there are more Qing troops running from Wuchang, which is a little worse for them, so their days can be met.

Although they also sent people to ask the Southern Ming court for help, Zhu Ciyang himself was about to ban them, how could he give them assistance at this time?

Therefore, the reply from the Southern Ming court was very simple, just saying that the main force of the Southern Ming court was in the capital, and all the matters were discussed by Li Zicheng and General Zheng Sen.

In desperation, Li Zicheng could only let his general Gao Yigong go to see General Zheng Sen.

Gao Yigong was also an old man around Li Zicheng. He followed Li Zicheng to fight most of the north. He looked down on a young general like Zheng Sen. After all, this guy is the same age as his son.

"This is an imperial edict issued by your court. Come and have a good look and quickly load us with a batch of food."

In Zheng Sen's tent, the guy said carelessly, as if he was not here to ask for help, as if Zheng Sen owed him food.

"This general, I think you are wrong. Even if the imperial edict issued by the court, you should not have been brought over. There should be someone who declared the edict to me. If everyone, like you, took a few pieces of paper to me to ask for food, even if I have a mountain of food, it would probably not be enough."

Zheng Sen was so upset by this guy.

The court did not agree to give them food, but was so annoyed by their envoys that they could not bear it, so they wrote a letter to them.

The above did say that the allocation of food was given, but the officials of the court also understood that if there was no imperial edict, they would not be able to take away a grain of food.

In short, this incident gave Zheng Sen a headache. The court and Zheng Sen beat each other and made these people go around. During this time of random movement, they might have been taken down by the Qing Dynasty.

"Don't tell me those useless things. This is the document from the Ministry of Revenue Department of the Nanjing court. It is also covered with the seal of the Ministry of Revenue Department of the Ministry of Revenue Department. Don't think that I don't understand this without going to a private school."

Gao Yigong was anxious when he heard this. Their people worked hard in Nanjing to get such a piece of paper. It is said that if they took this piece of paper to the base of the Ming army, they could get 200,000 kilograms of grain.

Now the people under his command are almost eating the bark. If there is no food yet, hundreds of people will have to escape that day.

"This is indeed a seal from the Ministry of Revenue, but we have never done this before. Perhaps there is a problem with the process in the middle. Please understand me. If I give you the food, the court will pursue it at that time, it will cost me my life. Please ask the general to go to Nanjing again and ask the court to issue an imperial edict. Everything must go through a regular procedure. 200,000 kilograms of grain is not a decimal."

Zheng Sen took it over and looked at it seriously. It was indeed the official seal of the Ministry of Revenue, but so what?

After handing this letter to Li Zicheng's people, the Ministry of Revenue Department sent another letter through the Ministry of War Department. In short, Zheng Sen dragged it.

The local officials arranged by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have arrived in Shaanxi. If Li Zicheng's army does not collapse, how should our local officials perform their duties?

Moreover, Zheng Sen was not idle for this period of time. In addition to the harm of the Qing people, Li Zicheng also did a lot of bad things.

They didn't have a good financial system at all. They knew they would go out to rob when they had no money. At the beginning, they were rich officials and families. After all these people were robbed, they also started to attack ordinary people.

The crimes committed by these people in various places are not much better than those under Haoge's army. Just by taking action against the people, we will not be able to give you food.

"But we can no longer hold on. After all, we are all our own people. When you won the victory in Shandong, we also dragged down many Qing troops in Tongguan. If we were not for help from others, their troops might have gone to Shandong to support us. How can you persist?"

When Gao Yigong saw that this matter was difficult to deal with, he immediately began to show his contribution. During that period, they restrained about tens of thousands of Han military flags. To be honest, even if these Han military flags were on the battlefield, they did not have much effect on the Ming army, but just an extra battle.

"The general is right, and we all understand this friendship, but we really cannot do things without following the regulations."

You said yours, I just don't give you food anyway...
