Chapter 2265: Stupid Move
At this time, Su Huai can't expect Jiangning to allocate more food and grass. The Third Prince will never agree!
An anxious Su Huai quickly listened to his subordinates' advice: Not enough people? Force them!
There is no need for special selection and training. As long as they are strong and can hold weapons, they can be called up and trained for a few days until they can understand commands.
At that time, let these people rush to the front. If Zheng Sangge kills them, it will be a massacre of innocent people! It will definitely anger the world and be criticized by the world.
In order to win over the people and give an explanation to the world, Shao Yunduan must severely punish Zheng Sangge, and may even kill him to appease the public anger. In this way, wouldn't they also be considered to have taken revenge?
As for food and grass supplies, Hangzhou is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, so why worry about food and grass? Just ask a dozen or twenty rich people.
Have a good talk with them. Will they not give us money and supplies? At worst, write them an IOU and let them take it from the government themselves!
Seeing that Zheng Sangge was about to bully them, as citizens of Hangzhou, shouldn't they make some contribution to the country?
This was clearly a threat and robbery, but when Su Huai heard it, he actually found it quite reasonable.
He was originally a pirate, and he always considered only his own convenience. As for the overall situation and the long-term, he could not think of these.
What’s more, he is so furious about losing that he urgently needs a victory to prove his ability, so he won’t consider anything else.
As a result, the city of Hangzhou immediately fell into dire straits due to the reckless actions of Su Huai and others.
Who among the people was willing to be forcibly conscripted into the army? When the Su family army went to the countryside and villages to arrest people, they cried and screamed, and there was chaos everywhere.
Those wealthy families who were named were even more miserable. Almost all their assets were drained out, and there was chaos and crying in their mansions.
After these people had their fill of looting, they could no longer stop and became bolder, taking the opportunity to enrich themselves and abuse their power. Many other families who were not on the "donation" list also had their doors knocked on by them and were extorted without any explanation.
If you don’t give it to me, I will rob it and smash it.
The whole scene was as if bandits had entered the village.
The people were in a panic and suffering, but they dared not speak out their anger.
Su Huai may or may not know all this, he said nothing and didn't care. As long as he could achieve his goal and as long as his brothers completed the tasks he entrusted, he could turn a blind eye to everything else.
The brothers have worked so hard fighting on the front lines, they deserve some money.
Under Su Huai's constant urging, the entire team expanded to 80,000 people in five days.
And among these 80,000 people, only less than 30,000 were originally theirs.
All the supplies were looted and gathered, and piled up in the government warehouse in Hangzhou City. The local government was ordered to dispatch yamen runners and civilian workers to pack and transport them.
Su Huai could not wait a moment and immediately led 80,000 troops out of Hangzhou City and headed straight for Pujiang River.
That's right, it's no longer Jinhua City, and the entire Pujiang Town area has fallen into Zheng Sangge's hands. Now Zheng Sangge and Qin Wuyou's army are stationed in Pujiang Town.
What good things Su Huai did after retreating into Hangzhou City, the scouts sent by Zheng Sangge soon came back with news.
Zheng Sangge, Qin Wuyou and others were all filled with emotion. The Third Prince had lost his mind. No matter how brave and good at fighting he was, he was still a bandit!
