Chapter 942 Sword Pointing at Xianning
Long before Shang Ji went to the mainland for the national war, the Pingzhou army began to produce and hoard defective military rations in large quantities. As I said before, military rations are divided into five grades, namely, low-grade military rations, middle-grade military rations, top-grade military rations, super-grade military rations, and inferior military rations that are not official grades!
The cost of defective military rations is very low, and the source of raw materials is very extensive. Wheat bran, fish meal, whale oil, animal offal, roots of certain plants and a small amount of flour, rice. Later, Shang Ji returned from the Guozhan Continent and brought back two high-yield crops, potato and corn, which Nonghe had developed. Potatoes and corn also became the main raw materials.
The taste of the military food made from these things is naturally hard to describe in words. Anyway, if you feed this stuff to the army, it won't take long for them to mutiny and riot.
Since Shangji set out to fight, Pingzhou has never stopped making military rations. Because of the low cost and almost no use of normal food, the hoarding of defective military food is the largest among the five types of military food, even far exceeding the sum of the other four types of military food.
The defective military rations produced were rectangular, about half a foot long, three inches wide, one and a half inches thick, and weighed about five catties.
It looks off-white in appearance, and its hardness is very high. If you grab it and smash it on your head, the probability of breaking your head is higher than that of military rations.
Although it doesn't look good, and it tastes even worse, it can indeed save lives at critical moments. One serving of such military rations, smashed and boiled with water, is enough for a family (five people count) to eat for a day.
In historical records about the end of the Han Dynasty, words such as Chidiqianli, Yizi eclipsing each other, and bones exposed in the wild appeared more than once. Naturally, it was impossible for Shang Ji not to take precautions.
More than 10 billion copies of this kind of military rations have been hoarded in Pingzhou, and they are still being produced!
Xi Zhicai and the others had long expected that Pu Yin might use this cruel method of killing each other, and along with the military resources, there was also a large amount of defective military rations.
Military rations are resistant to moisture, corrosion and moths, and are very convenient to transport. Coupled with the fact that the navy can assist in transportation, it is not a problem to transport hundreds of millions of military rations in one trip.
As the saying goes, don't panic if you have food in your hands. Although the inferior military rations are unpalatable, no matter how unpalatable they are, they are still food. It is definitely enough to help the victims!
A large amount of food was distributed to the hungry people, and the somewhat unstable situation immediately settled down. If it is not forced, there is really no way, and few people are willing to raise their heads to rebel.
Deng Yan sent a large number of civil affairs officials to accompany the army to deal with this situation. A sufficient number of high-quality civil affairs officials settled in major cities, with a big stick and a carrot in one hand, and the situation was quickly stabilized.
When Pu Yin retreated,
All the nobles in the city retreated with the army, and the people who remained were ordinary people. The city was a blank slate, and the officials in Pingzhou were allowed to do their best.
Those who are willing to migrate can move to Huaxia City. There are currently only 30 million people in Huaxia City, which is very unqualified for a royal city. Those who do not want to migrate will continue to live where they are. Pingzhou continues to distribute relief food to maintain their livelihoods, and on the other hand organizes them to sow fast-growing rice to restore their self-sufficiency as soon as possible.
With the passage of time, the burden that Pu Yin placed on Shang Ji not only failed to limit Pingzhou's footsteps, but further strengthened Pingzhou's strength.
Shang Ji even recruited auxiliary soldiers in the newly occupied major cities to assist in the defense of the cities and support logistics. These newly recruited troops are naturally far inferior in combat effectiveness, but the average loyalty is still quite impressive.
With the assistance of some of these newly recruited auxiliary soldiers, the shortcomings of the Pingzhou Army's insufficient strength were also made up. Pu Yin could be regarded as shooting himself in the foot this time.
Of course, Shang Ji was not polite. After rectifying the interior, the army rushed up, and this time the sword pointed directly at Xianning City!
In Xianning City, Pu Yin, who was dressed in military uniform, was personally inspecting the defense, and behind him was a group of generals.
"Great leader, there are a total of 7.3 million defenders in Xianning City. The food stored in the city can be used by the whole army for one year. There are more than 60,000 large-scale defense equipment of various types, and the reserves of rolling stones, lumber, and arrows There are countless defensive materials such as gunpowder and kerosene.
The city wall has already undergone multiple reinforcements, and its defense is not much worse than that of the royal city. There are another 300,000 craftsmen who can repair the city wall at any time, which can be described as impenetrable. The whole city is loyal to the great leader, and under the wise command of the great leader, the enemy will be able to block the enemy to the west of Xianning city! "
The general has a loud voice and a tall and straight figure, and his tone is full of infinite respect for the great leader and firm confidence in Xianning City.
"Okay, okay, I'm very relieved to have you, General Jin, guarding Xianning City!"
A gentle smile appeared on Pu Yin's face, and he patted Jin Rongshan's shoulder lightly. The tall Jin Rongshan immediately bent down and lowered his head so that the great leader could more easily pat him on the shoulder.
"Report to the leader, the subordinates must live up to the expectations of the leader and the people, resolutely defend Xianning City, and smash the enemy's conspiracy!"
Jin Rongshan snapped a standard military salute and said firmly.
"Okay, okay, it's really a blessing for the motherland and the people to have a famous general like General Jin who has the courage to take responsibility!"
Park Yin praised Jin Rongshan again, and then ended the inspection in Jin Rongshan's tears of gratitude.
After leaving Xianning City, which was about to become the front line, among many generals, Pu Yin's face immediately became a little ugly.
It is true that there are more than seven million troops in Xianning City, but Pu Yin knows the details of the seven million troops better.
Among them, there are about 1.2 million player troops, and the rest are aboriginal troops. There is no problem with the loyalty of the player's army, but they lost too much during the national war and have not recovered until now. Apart from being brave and fearless, they are not as good as ordinary fifth-tier soldiers in other aspects, and their overall combat power is quite limited.
The aboriginal army is slightly better, but the morale is low and the morale of the army is chaotic. If there are not a large number of North Korean players serving as supervisors, there may have been a large-scale mutiny long ago!
In general, relying on them to defend Xianning City, the success rate is very low!
However, this is already all the forces that Park Yin can mobilize. Except for the basic guarding forces of several major cities such as Pyongyang, all other troops that can be mobilized have been withdrawn.
Originally, Park Yin expected to gather at least 10 million troops, but due to internal turmoil, he only managed to gather more than 7 million troops, and the defense force plummeted again.
In fact, even if Shang Ji did nothing and continued the confrontation like this, judging from the current internal situation in North Korea, it is very likely that Park Yin will be dragged down within three months!
Of course, Shang Ji would not do this. His main purpose is to absorb North Korea's population and territory, not to defeat Park Yin. Procrastination can drag Pu Yin down, but at the same time, it will also turn the various opposition forces in the rear into warlords, and at the same time, it will also greatly consume precious human resources.
Once they become warlords, even Shang Ji will have to go to a lot of trouble to deal with them, which is not in his interest.
The current strategy is to quickly defeat Pu Yin with thunderous force, and then use the power of victory to subdue all parties to avoid falling into the quagmire of war.
Two days later, the main force of Pingzhou arrived in Xianning City.
Without too much nonsense, with the sound of the war drum, the attack on Xianning City officially began!
