At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong was like an ant on a hot pan, but he had no other way.

He had done it before concentrating his troops and rushed out, but what was the final result?

Not only did he not open a gap, but he lost thousands of his personal soldiers. These people were different from ordinary soldiers. They were all veterans who had followed him for many years.

Even if they are in desperate situation now, these people will advance and retreat with Zhang Xianzhong. So if they are not sure, Zhang Xianzhong will never take these people to die.

As for the other troops in the city, they are basically bluffing now, and these people can't even eat enough.

Zhang Xianzhong's defense and the others were similar to those of the imperial court. He did not allow them to get close to the palace, so he was afraid that these people would mutinate and rushed into the palace to steal the remaining food.

His men have proposed other strategies.

Zuo Menggeng's idea was to concentrate all the troops and then rush out directly to run west. As long as they were fast enough, they could run to the Tibetan area at any time.

There is Wusizang's territory there. The land is very large, but there is not much population. Although the environment is harsh, it is a way out.

However, Zhang Xianzhong immediately rejected the suggestion. In his opinion, taking so many people to a place where birds do not shit would be very likely to not need to be chased by the Ming army, and all of them starved to death there.

Although I have no way to leave the city, I have at least some hope. What is the difference between running to that kind of place and dying?

Under the stalemate of various forces, various methods were rejected, and many of their subordinates were also anxious. They had already seen that continuing to stick to Chengdu was actually a dead end, but they were unable to change all this, so they just played every day.

As the Ming army continued to strengthen the surrounding fortifications, these people could also see clearly on the city wall.

There were a few people who had ideas, but now seeing Zhang Xianzhong keep missing opportunities, this small number of people simply didn’t think about anything.

Even if I proposed it myself, there were a lot of people who opposed it. Anyway, I was an official, and I had food and drink, and those who were sad were the ones below.

Compared with them, Wu Chengxun's army is even less anxious. Now at least three or four hundred troops run out every day. Although there are not many numbers, there are always seven or eight thousand people a month.

According to such figures, at most half a year, there will be no people in the city. Wouldn’t it be cheap to occupy Chengdu directly?

Some people in Zhang Xianzhong's army also noticed this, but they were unable to change all this. Thinking about it, there was still half a year to go, so just use it!

Mongolia camp.

With the help of the Mongolian prince Wu Keshan, the area within 600 miles north of the capital is now under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and corresponding yamen have been set up in various regions, so the Mongolian camp has also begun to move northward only 50 miles north of the capital, but now it has reached 300 miles.

As the chief manager of the Mongolian camp, Hu Qiang could not continue to stay in the capital to work. Now that the entire Mongolian camp has just arrived here, there are busy scenes everywhere.

"The general is as good as a god. Sure enough, Sichuan and Wuchang cannot follow this bill, but they just don't know what we are here..."

When the imperial court first began to implement this bill, Hu Qiang had already told these people under his command that whether it was Sichuan or Wuchang, their side would definitely not work. As for Mongolia, this is really playing the edge ball.

According to the places mentioned by the current Emperor Longsheng before, they are indeed the land of the Ming Dynasty, but the emperor did not have a clear instruction on the land north of the capital, so how to resettle the prisoners of war on their land still have to wait for the decision of the capital.

"The emperor's imperial edict has arrived. We are the same example as in Sichuan, so you should not fight this matter."

Hu Qiang took out the imperial edict from the capital, and many people below felt a little confused. They could regard Sichuan as the homeland of the Ming Dynasty, but they could not regard Mongolia in the north as the territory of the Ming Dynasty in any case.

Many people quote classics and talk about the things on the ancient Mongolian grasslands, whether they were the Huns during the Han Dynasty, the Turks during the Tang Dynasty, or the Tatars and Oirat during the Ming Dynasty.

These are all enemies of the Han people. What's wrong with selling prisoners of war on such land? Why should Long Live refuse?

"Don't ask me questions, and I can't answer your questions. All the doubts in my heart are the same. I also think that this bill can apply to the Mongolian prairie.

If this is the case, let alone 70,000 or 80,000 prisoners, even 170,000 or 80,000 prisoners, we can send them back. This is a huge income for us, but the imperial edict is here, who dares to resist the edict?"

When Hu Qiang saw that his subordinates were asking him questions, he hurriedly blocked all of them. We couldn't explain this question, mainly because Master Long didn't explain it to us. How could we explain it to the following people?

The staff were also bitter at the side. You should know that they believed that this bill was 100% applicable to the Mongolian grasslands and also had a preliminary calculation of how much money they could get.

They had calculated the expenses of these silver. Now that the imperial edict has come over, everything has turned into flowers in the water and moon in the mirror.

"General, Prince Wu Keshan is here."

Because of Wu Keshan's contribution to the court, this product still retained the title of prince, but it did not have as much power as before.

Although he still has a lot of grasslands, it is only a small part of it compared to the original one. However, after following the Ming army for so long, Wu Keshan felt that it was nothing.

Although he lost a lot of private property, who doesn’t know him, Wu Keshan, on the entire Mongolian grassland now?

It turns out that although there are a lot of wealth, there are not so many status. There are dozens of princes of all sizes on the entire prairie. Who cares about it?

Nowadays, no matter where you go, which old guy dares to be a little bit too high to greet you, not to mention that he still has the title of prince, and those people have nothing left.
