The 300,000-strong army of the Huaxing Army besieged the city of Jinan, killing sheep and cattle outside the city every day, eating and drinking.All the grain and grass in Jinan City were blown up by the aviation squadron, and the city now has a population of 500,000, not to mention 500,000, and the daily food consumption is also an astonishing amount.Ding Baozhen organized his men to break through several times, but they were all repelled by the powerful firepower of the Huaxing army.Thousands of people were killed and injured each time, and finally they simply retreated into the city, never daring to act rashly."
It's so fragrant, it's really damn that Hua Xingjun always eats and drinks, but he starves Lao Tzu to death" "Yes, we only take care of two meals a day, and it's all nests."
I've tasted meat for a month, and a bird has come out of my mouth. ”"Don't complain, the granaries in the city have been bombed by the Huaxing army.A lot of ordinary people can't even eat, so you can steal the fun" "What do you think about our governor, the power of the Huaxing army is so strong, they have let us live, why don't we surrender" "You be quiet, our governor is finally in the imperial court."
If you let someone denounce you, you just wait for the military law to deal with it" The Lu army defending on the city wall kept wiping the harazi, anyway, the Huaxing army did not attack the city, everyone looked weak, leaning on the city wall hungry and basking in the sun.Near the spring in Jinan City, it is densely packed with people fetching water.Everyone had an anxious expression, and every spring was full of people.After the Huaxing army cut off the water source outside the city, if it weren't for the many springs in Jinan City, it would have been unable to hold on for a long time.According to records, there are more than 110 large and small springs in Jinan City, which is worthy of the name of the spring city.But no matter how many springs there are, they are not enough for the 500,000 people in the city to eat and live without a day."
How long will our governor last, my family is about to run out of food" "Yes, Governor Ding is upright on weekdays, and he loves the people like a son, why is he confused this time."
Hua Xingjun is a god descending from heaven, where are we mortals their opponents.The Manchu emperors have been driven away, what kind of life are we Han people fighting for?"
"You don't say a few words, save some physical strength, and hurry up and dig some wild vegetables with me."
Otherwise, in a few days, the bark of the trees in the city will be gnawed away. ”"It's so serious" "Of course, many families in the city who don't have food in stock have long run out of food.I have been feeding on wild vegetables for the past few days, and I heard that several people in the city have starved to death" "What a sin, I thought Governor Ding was a good official, but I didn't expect that none of the officials took our people to heart."
He served his court, why did he drag our whole city to be buried with him?"
Isn't it, Hua Xingjun has already said it very clearly.As long as we surrender, they will not kill a single person.And also give us food and water, why do you say that we should follow Governor Ding to suffer this crime" The crowd fetching water became more and more agitated, and their emotions became more and more agitated.Among them, there are also people who have no food left at home, and the officials and soldiers who are responsible for distributing water by the springs are also hungry and can no longer control the situation, allowing these people to talk nonsense."
The people of Jinan City, you all stand up and listen to me" At this time, three or five Shandong men with big shoulders and thick waists suddenly stood up on the edge of the spring, plucked up all their strength, and yelled at the people behind them.The crowd immediately quieted down, and they all focused their eyes on these big men."
Brothers, sisters, fathers and brothers of Shandong City.We can't endure it any longer, now that there is no food and water in the city, many people have been starved to death.Those of us here will not have food to eat in a few days.What are we going to do when the time comes, are we going to starve to death too?"
the big man hissed."
Don't, don't, don't" almost all the people raised their arms and shouted, and the grievances of many days were immediately aroused."
Okay, let's go to Governor Ding now, he can be loyal to the Manchu court, but why should we Han people accompany him to the funeral of the Manchu court.We want water, we want food, we want food" The big man raised his arms again and shouted, his words were already very disrespectful, but the officers and soldiers on the side did not say much.They have long lost the will to fight, and who doesn't want to live well."
Asking for water, food, and food" The people gathered more and more, and there were more than 10,000 people in a while.Du Zhen took out his last strength and hissed and shouted."
Walk up to the yamen" Dozens of big men gathered around the big man, shouted and took the lead towards the yamen.The people followed closely behind, constantly shouting slogans for water, food, and food.Ding Baozhen was processing the latest military newspaper in the mansion, and there was only a small dish of pickled cucumbers on the desk, and half of the nest.At this time, there was a sudden chaotic noise outside the mansion, which made him frown again, and ordered the soldiers outside the door to go out of the mansion to investigate the situation.Before the pro-soldiers outside the door could leave, the pro-soldiers outside the government had already hurriedly entered the study and said, "Oh no, Dashuai."
The people in the city rebelled, and they were all shouting outside the government office to see you" "What" Ding Baozhen raised his eyebrows, immediately put down the official document in his hand, got up and walked outside the government with his own soldiers.Hundreds of soldiers outside the government office were already holding spears to block the crowd, looking at the people who were gathering more and more on the opposite side, and they didn't know how to deal with each other."
Let Governor Ding come out, we want to see Governor Ding," the leader shouted, raising his arms and shouting."
We want to see Governor Ding, we want to see Governor Ding, we want to see Governor Ding" The people raised their arms and shouted, shouting straight into the sky.There were only tens of thousands of people at the spring, and now it is estimated that there are nearly 100,000 people.The streets on both sides of the government are densely packed with people, and there is no end to it."
What's the matter, do you want to rebel" Wu Guodong, who was stationed in the north of the city, heard the movement and hurriedly returned to the government with thousands of people with spears.After passing through the dense crowd, they immediately set up defenses along the perimeter of the government office."
We don't rebel, we just need to eat a bite of food, everyone says it's right" The big man was not afraid of Wu Guodong, turned his head to the people behind him and yelled."
Yes, yes, yes," the people roared, from near to far, one after another, endlessly."
Bastard, you must be a fucking spy of the Huaxing Army who sneaked into the city.Come on, arrest this thief who is taking the lead in making trouble" Wu Guodong scolded the big man angrily, and waved his hand to the soldiers under him as he spoke."
Whoever dares to arrest someone, I see who of you dares to arrest someone" The soldiers behind Wu Guodong were about to step forward and take down the big man, the big man hissed and roared, and dozens of people rushed out behind him, and the soldiers of the Lu army scuffled together."
You can't arrest people, you can't arrest people" Seeing this situation, the people also crowded forward, easily broke through the defense line of the Lu army, and drowned the soldiers at the gate in the sea of people."
Bang" A violent gunshot rang out and wandered around outside the mansion, and Wu Guodong picked up the wounded foreign gun and fired a shot into the sky.The crowd suddenly fell silent, and they all stood still."
You Diao people, who dares to mess around again, don't worry about killing" Wu Guodong roared, looking around at the people in front of him with a murderous face.And the people could not drink and could not eat.was already angry, but now seeing Wu Guodong's attitude, he is even more angry.At this time, the outside of the government office was like a warehouse full of gunpowder, and it only took one spark to raze the entire government office to the ground."
Be presumptuous, be rude, and don't retreat" At this time, Ding Baozhen just walked out of the door of the mansion and scolded Wu Guodong.When the people saw Ding Baozhen, their mood was obviously much lighter, and the powder keg was almost ignited."
Governor Ding, please.Give us a bite to eat, we're all starving to death" Dahan also knelt down for a while and wailed loudly at Ding Baozhen."
Lord Governor, please be merciful and save us" The people also knelt down one after another, and wailed loudly to Ding Baozhen.It took a long time for the sound to reach the end of the street, and it stopped for a long time."
Fathers and fellow villagers of Shandong City, I know all about you, and I will find a way to believe in the imperial court in the past few days, and if you hold on for two more days, you will definitely have food and drink.Please believe me, go back first, don't give the villains a chance" Ding Baozhen waved his hand at the people and motioned for everyone to stand up.He has a very high prestige in the hearts of Jinan people, although everyone is still a little dissatisfied, but he still stands up obediently."
Governor Ding, is what you said true, and in two days, we will have something to eat" Dahan asked rhetorically, and took Ding Baozhen's army, not wanting to listen to his ambiguous statement."
Yes, that's right, I'll give you an explanation in two days."
Ding Baozhen looked at the big man and frowned, but still gave the people an accurate time.The will of the people cannot be violated, and he must dare to deny it at this time, these people will definitely not give up."
Okay, then we'll trust the Governor once."
The big man nodded with an iron face, turned his head and shouted to the people, "Fathers and fellow villagers, Governor Ding said, two days at most."
Two days later, I'll give you a result, everyone is gone" "Long live the governor, long live the governor, long live the governor" The people all raised their arms excitedly and shouted, no matter what, there is finally a deadline, and everyone has a hope.After the crowd gradually dispersed, Wu Guodong followed Ding Baozhen into the study angrily.As soon as he entered the door, he scolded, "Dashuai, these Diao people are obviously bewitched by others."
Why didn't you arrest that big man just now, he must have been sent into the city by the Huaxing Army" "Things are not as simple as you think, you sit down first" Ding Baozhen locked his eyebrows, and asked Wu Guodong to make a bowl of tea, constantly thinking about what happened these days.First, the water source outside the city was cut off, and then the grain and grass inside the city were precisely blown up.What puzzled him the most was that the Huaxing army could easily take Jinan, but it was reluctant to attack the city outside the city.Instead, they continued to persecute the people in the city to revolt, and what was this for?
