No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 547 Supplies Arrived

The people around were still immersed in the excitement of rescuing Bayar, but when they heard what the black man said, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on them, and they all fell silent.

They are brave enough to fight on the battlefield, and most of them even want to die on the battlefield.

But dying in battle and dying of starvation in cowardice are completely different things.

Everyone turned their eyes to Mingheng, they wanted to live!

Mingheng looked at the brothers who followed him, and saw that they had gone from being high-spirited to being emaciated. Of course, he felt heartbroken.

But he has the persistence to be a human being and the persistence to protect the reputation of the Qing Dynasty.

The reason they came to Japan was not to burn, kill and loot, but to seek revenge and an explanation.

The Japanese bandits went to the Qing Dynasty to do evil. They represented the Qing Dynasty and could not treat the Japanese people in the same way.

But now, when it comes to my brother's life, all these insistences can go to hell!

"Heiqi, select half of the people on patrol today, change them into regular clothes, and when night falls we will..." Mingheng made up his mind.

But he was also very cunning and didn't want to ruin the reputation of the Qing Dynasty, so he learned the tricks of the Japanese pirates.

On the surface, those who came to the Qing Dynasty to rob were pirates, but everyone knew who was underneath the pirates' skin.

If you can do it, I can do it too!

After hearing this order, a sincere smile finally appeared on Zhihu's face.

That is the smile of a very hungry person who sees delicious food.

Everyone felt relieved. Mingheng was about to let them go back and lie down to rest when he heard the guard come in and report, "Report! General!"

"There are two large ships heading towards our port at high speed!"

"A big ship?" Mingheng's face turned grim. "What ship?"

The guard said, "It's a Qing ship. It's bigger than a supply ship!"

It was bigger than the supply ship, so Mingheng’s hope was shattered.

On the contrary, he was afraid that the Prince of Zhi had sent a ship directly to kill them here.

"Let's go! Get ready for battle!" Mingheng immediately gathered his men and went to the lookout.

After climbing up the watchtower, Mingheng immediately picked up the telescope and looked towards the ship.

The most eye-catching thing about the two large ships is the red cannons on both sides. The black muzzles are really chilling.

The black man's pale lips were cracked by the sea breeze, and trickles of scarlet blood oozed out.

He licked his lips, tasting the slightly salty taste of blood. "General, take cover?"

The range of the artillery is limited, and they have already dug bunkers, where they can hide from the artillery fire from the sea.

Mingheng observed carefully, but still couldn't be sure whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, so he could only avoid his attack first.

Everyone hid in panic, but the bombardment did not happen, and the two ships actually docked quietly.

The people on the boat were still shouting: "General Niu Hulu! We are here to bring you supplies~~"

Everyone hiding in the bunker was stunned. They couldn't believe that they actually received supplies!

But soon, they went crazy.

Because they smelled meat!

"It's meat!"

"It smells like meat!"

"Finally, we got supplies!"

......

Without even waiting for Mingheng's order, countless people crawled out following the scent and headed towards the big ship.

The leader was actually Li Wei, who immediately started looking for Mingheng in the crowd.

When he found it, his eyes lit up and he rushed over like a leopard.

"Oh, Lord Niuhulu, that's great!!!"

He rose to prominence with the support of the Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan.

He started out as an errand boy in the Ministry of Revenue, but when the Fourth Master came to power, his career went smoothly.

After finally gaining a foothold, Li Wei submitted a memorial himself, hoping to go to the battlefield to accumulate merits.

After all, if I work my way through the Ministry of Revenue, I don’t know how long it will take before I can become the Minister of Revenue.

If you want to get through this as soon as possible, you must first go out and do some practical work, and secondly, you must go to the battlefield and gain some achievements.

It just so happened that an official in the Ministry of Revenue who was in charge of logistics had some problems, so the Fourth Master directly sent him over to take the place.

Unexpectedly, before he even took office, the Prince of Zhi forced the emperor to abdicate and rebelled.

When the Fourth Master got the news, he didn't trust others, so he rushed the message to Li Wei over 800 miles.

When Li Wei heard that Mingheng was in trouble, he was even more anxious than if his own brother had been in trouble.

He immediately brought his men and rushed over day and night, and ignored everything when he arrived at the port.

The two large ships were driven out with the supplies and headed straight for Mingheng's port.

All the interrogations and arrests can be put aside for now.

Li Wei was anxious. After all, he hadn't received supplies for half a year. If he arrived earlier, he might be able to save a few more people.

His decision was completely correct. The large ship accelerated at full speed and was much faster than the small supply ship.

When they were about to reach the shore, Li Wei ordered people to cook meat and vegetable rice on the deck, filling up all the big pots.

Now that we reach the shore, we can fill everyone’s stomachs.

Mingheng's heart finally settled down when he saw that it was Li Wei.

He had dealt with this man before. He was his sister and brother-in-law's man, and he would definitely not defect to the Prince of Zhi.

"Master Li, thank you for your trouble~" Mingheng bowed to him sincerely.

He now understood why it was a large ship that was coming.

It seems that Li Wei has considered everything carefully and is trying his best to shorten the rescue time.

As for the rice and meat that had already been cooked, it was also his advance consideration. It was obvious that he had thought about it for them.

Thinking of this, Li Wei brought him a bowl of rice.

There were meat, vegetables and rice in it. It didn't look very good, but it was just what they wanted to eat right now.

After all, if you eat dry food when you are too hungry, there is a risk of choking to death.

If you eat too much meat, your stomach won’t be able to handle it.

It's just right now.

Mingheng took a sip of the soup and felt relaxed.

During this period, he also ate and lived with the soldiers, and his cheeks were sunken from hunger.

I finally had a good meal after half a year.

The one who ate quickly had already finished a bowl, licked the bowl clean, and stared at the pot.

Li Wei quickly said, "We have limited cooking space on the boat. Everyone, eat a bowl first to fill your stomach. We'll light a fire on shore and cook dinner later."

"Everyone, please be considerate of your fellow soldiers and at least have a little food first..."

The implication is that each person only has one bowl, no more.

Mingheng understood that Li Wei was worried that someone would die from eating too much, but he wisely didn't mention it. He then ordered, "Those who have eaten should sit down and rest. Let others get their meals."

"Don't worry, everyone. The supplies have arrived. Everyone can eat at night. There will be no more days of hunger."

"And once we've rested, we'll attack the Japanese palace in one fell swoop!"

"That's when we can achieve great things!"
