This is also the reason why Moke Shida went to Beiminglei's troubled waters. He wanted to obtain the legal status of "Bharatiya" officially recognized by the Yan State, and he wanted "Bharat Sect" to replace other sects and become the state religion of Yan State.
It's a pity that not long after the troops were dispatched, the army of faith faced a food crisis. Thirty thousand mouths had to eat every day, and the daily food consumption was simply astronomical. How could Moke Shida support [-] mouths with the food and wages that Moke Shida used to support [-] troops.
You can't rob food, you can only rely on the believers of "Bharaism" to raise food. Seven days after the food crisis, Moke Shida finally summoned the food.
Wang Qi, a big businessman who believes in "Bharaism", approached Moke Shida and provided him with free food and grass for 3 people for a month.
A windfall came from heaven, and Moke Shida didn't doubt his followers, he directly accepted the food and treated Wang Qi graciously.
However, after eating the food and grass, problems soon appeared in the Faith Army. The soldiers had symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea. Moke Shida knew that there was something wrong with Wang Qi.
"Catch Wang Qi here!" Moke Shida roared at his subordinates.
But his men soon brought him bad news.
"General, Wang Qi has already escaped!"
"Damn it!" Moke Shida shattered the table in front of him with one palm, venting his anger, but unfortunately, even if he shattered ten tables, he couldn't recover the loss.
"How about the casualties of our army!"
The deputy general said: "Three thousand soldiers in the army have been infected with poison. They vomit and have diarrhea every day. Their hands and feet are weak. They need two people to take care of them!"
In order to take care of 3 sick soldiers, Moke Shida had to take [-] sergeants, and [-] soldiers lost one-third at once.
"It may be possible to find a way to detoxify!"
The deputy general replied: "Reporting to the general, the last general has sent someone to invite a doctor, but the problem is that even if we find a way to detoxify, we still have no money to buy antidote!"
"There is also a shortage of food in the army. The food and grass brought by Wang Ke must not be eaten anymore!"
One problem after another was placed in front of Moke Shida, which made his head almost explode.
"Do you have a solution?" Moke Shida cast his eyes on his lieutenant general, but unfortunately the lieutenant general has no good solution, and a clever woman can't cook without rice.
"General, our biggest problem is that we don't have money, and we can't harass the people like other generals. Why don't we sweep up the rich, plunder the money, distribute half of the money to the people, and buy people's hearts!" The deputy general thought about this for a long time.
Moke Shida thought hard for a while but couldn't make up his mind, at this moment a messenger suddenly broke into the camp.
"It's not good, General, the soldiers have mutinied?"
"What?" Moke Shida turned pale with shock, hurried out of the tent, and saw a group of soldiers surrounding the grain and grass, protecting them like chickens.
Moke Shida recognized the grain and grass as the grain brought by Wang Ke before. After he found out that it was poisonous, he ordered his subordinates to destroy it, but unexpectedly, it caused a mutiny.
"No one is allowed to burn the grain, and whoever burns the grain will be killed!" A soldier held a knife in front of the grain cart, and many soldiers protected him and the grain behind him, and Moke Shida sent to burn the grain. The soldiers confronted each other.
The two groups of people were at war with each other, and they were about to face each other with swords.
"Stop!" Moke Shida showed his lightness kung fu, like a big bird, inserted between the two groups of people.
"Are you rebelling!" Moke Shi Daxiong was shocked, causing people on both sides to stop at the same time.
"General!" Everyone put down their weapons and saluted Moke Shida.
"What happened!"
When the people on both sides explained the matter clearly, Moke Shida showed a dumbfounded expression.
-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------
The arrival of Moke Shida made the soldiers on both sides put down their weapons and kneel down to salute him.
"Meet the General!"
Moke Shida put on a face, and asked angrily: "What happened, why did my own people fight each other!"
"Return to the general, these people won't let us destroy the food!" A soldier explained.
"General, there is no food in the barracks. We have been hungry for two days, and we haven't eaten any rice. We can't burn the food!" The soldier who stopped the food from burning knelt on the ground and cried.
After the narration of both parties, Moke Shida finally understood the cause and effect.
It turned out that the soldiers stopped because they were too hungry and they saw that someone was going to burn the food.
In this era of cannibalism, ordinary people serve as soldiers to eat food, and they can do anything for a bite of food.
Moke Shida explained with a wry smile: "These grains have been poisoned by the gangsters, so they can no longer be eaten!"
It's a pity that the soldiers didn't listen to Moke Shida's explanation: "General, we are all too hungry. We would rather be poisoned to death than starve to death. It's a death anyway. Why don't you let the general fulfill us and be a stuffed ghost when we die? Bar!"
Moke Shida looked at the soldiers and found that they were all eager expressions. Some people who were willing to burn food began to be moved. He understood that if there was no more food, the hungry soldiers would even eat him.
After thinking for a while, Moke Shida finally made up his mind.
"Don't worry, soldiers, I have found out about the wealthy Yongcheng not far ahead. Wang Wanwan's home is hoarding a lot of food. I will lead someone to copy this rich and unkind home!"
Moke Shida has no choice now, he can only listen to the advice of the lieutenant general, first grab the food from the rich family, and get through this urgent need.
A thousand hungry soldiers followed Moke Shida towards Yongcheng. When they arrived at Wang Wanwan's home, he was eating with his family.
Moke Shida didn't care about anything else, he rushed into Wang Wanwan's house, grabbed everything he saw, and even put a knife on Wang Wanwan's neck, threatening.
"Where is the food you hoarded?"
Wang Wanwan was so calm that he said in an orderly manner, "Do you know who I am?"
"I am the nephew of the Xingbu minister!"
Moke Shida frowned, and said indifferently: "Whoever you are, when I reach Yecheng, Shangshu Xingbu will also have to bow down to this general!"
Wang Wanwan glanced at Moke Shida calmly, adhering to the principle that a good man does not suffer immediate losses, and told Moke Shida where the grain is stored.
Teams of soldiers carried away the grain that Wang Wanwan had stored so hard. With this grain, it was enough to feed an army of [-] for seven days. By then, Moke Shida had already captured Yecheng.
After getting what he wanted, Moke Shida returned to the barracks, leaving Wang Wanwan with a gloomy face.
At the same time, it also stabbed the ant's nest!
After Moke Shida transported the food to the barracks, the soldiers were overjoyed and immediately started cooking together. Moke Shida felt relieved when he saw that the morale of the army was stable after seeing the food.
It's a pity that Moke Shida's heart was relieved for a while, and there was a sound of shouting and killing outside the tent. When Moke Shida got out of the tent, he saw a group of more than fifty farmers holding hoes. Assault camp.
These peasants were dressed in coarse linen, and their weapons were all farm tools and hoes. These people did not conflict with the soldiers, but wrecked the equipment of the barracks.
The soldiers wanted to stop these peasants, but they found that these people were not afraid of death, they were not afraid of the soldiers' weapons at all, and they all died in the hands of the Demon Subduing Army very quickly, not even a single one survived.
When Moke Shida wanted to stop the soldiers from slaughtering the peasants, it was too late. When 54 corpses were placed in front of Moke Shida, his heart was full of confusion.
