Right now, as long as Li Tianhe reports this matter, he will undoubtedly die.
Listening to Zhao Qiong's plea, Li Tianhe also frowned.
Although Zhao Qiong is begging him for mercy now, in fact, even if he doesn't beg for mercy, he still has to be saved.
There is no other reason. Both of them were involved in everything that happened in Qinghe City.
Li Tianhe couldn't guarantee that if he really reported the truth, Zhao Qiong would expose the matter.
At that time, it will really be a dead end!
It looked like Zhao Qiong was begging for mercy, but in fact it was just a show.
Li Tianhe, who has been in officialdom for a long time, still can't see the pros and cons of things.
To put it bluntly, they are both grasshoppers on a rope right now.
Li Tianhe reached out to help Zhao Qiong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said quickly.
"It's not Mr. Zhao's fault for this, but it's also because the attacker was too cunning. Not only did he take advantage of the darkness to sneak up on the navy, but he also dispatched more than thirty bow warships to attack."
Zhao Qiong, who was still kneeling on the ground, was stunned when he heard this, and then looked grateful.
"Master Li Mingjian! Master Li Mingjian! If you want to blame, blame those pirates for being too cunning!"
Zhao Qiong also reacted very quickly and understood the meaning of Li Tianhe's words.
In fact, Zhao Qiong was so frightened that he didn't think much about it at first.
However, he did leave evidence that the two were in cahoots.
Especially every account of the oppression of Qinghe City is clearly remembered.
If he was really pushed into a hurry, he would really bring this matter up.
By that time, he and Li Tianhe would really be at a dead end.
Fortunately, Li Tianhe was more cunning than he thought. Before he could react, he had already taken the initiative to find a reason for him.
As the sky is high and the emperor is far away, aren't they the ones who have the final say about what happened in the navy camp in Qinghe Prefecture?
As for finding someone to testify?
Could it be that we should go to those pirates to testify?
Who would believe their testimony?
"Master Zhao, you should return to the navy camp first and restore the power of the navy! I will definitely report this matter to the superiors and ask them to send more manpower and supplies!"
Li Tianhe looked at Zhao Qiong and spoke to comfort him.
Hearing this, Zhao Qiong felt happy.
Isn’t there another wave of oil and water coming into the account now?
Now it seems that the attack on the navy camp is not only not a bad thing, but also a good thing.
…
The afternoon sun is particularly scorching, especially on this vast sea.
The person who should have been listless due to the sun was now extremely excited.
Looking around, a row of thirteen-prow warships are moving forward uniformly with the wind on the sea.
There is a person standing on the bow of the leading warship.
This person was not afraid of the harsh midday sun, and there was a look of relief on his face.
The person on the bow of the boat was none other than Qin He.
Qin He originally thought that the effect of this raid would not be very good, but the result was beyond his expectation.
Not only did it have an unexpected effect, it also turned the navy camp upside down.
The largest warship on the tenth bow of the naval camp was also captured.
There are even more supplies on the warship.
Among them, the most precious cannonballs accounted for most of them.
This is definitely a great thing for Qin He, who currently lacks the most armed forces.
Although this was considered a surprise attack, they caught the navy camp by surprise.
But it won't be such a terrifying harvest.
I can only thank those people in the navy camp for being a bunch of losers.
He was beaten so hard in the surprise attack that he had no intention of resisting.
This battle can be said to be the first victory!
"Brother Qin! We will make a lot of money this time!"
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, accompanied by Li Yang's excited voice.
After hearing Li Yang's words, Qin He looked back and slowly turned to look at Li Yang behind him.
"Have you done all the statistics?"
Looking at Li Yang with a smile, Qin He asked.
Hearing this, Li Yang's face became even more joyful, he nodded repeatedly and said.
"Brother Qin, all the statistics are done!"
"Ten bows of the warship were captured, 1,200 rounds of artillery ammunition, 10,000 catties of rice and flour, and some meat!"
I don't know whether Li Yang's face was flushed because of the strong sunshine at noon, or whether he was flushed with excitement because of the great harvest.
But no matter what the reason was, even Qin He couldn't help being surprised after hearing this harvest.
One thousand two hundred artillery shells, this is definitely a big gain for Qin He, who is currently short of firepower.
Not only that, but they were also provided with a ten-bow warship.
They were already short of warships, so this was a timely help.
Of course, this was not done voluntarily by the Navy.
In addition, rice and noodles are the foundation of life.
Although ten thousand kilograms of rice and noodles is not much, it is enough to live for several days.
Although ten thousand catties sounds scary, don't forget how many people there are on Dongqin Island now.
That's a total of four thousand people. On average, one person has two kilograms of rice and noodles per day, which is indeed only enough for a few days' expenses.
This is why Qin He has no interest in rice noodles, but is more excited about ammunition.
"Those drunkards can only bully and bully the common people on weekdays. In a real fight, they are no better than turtles and grandsons!"
Li Yang laughed and said.
After saying that, Li Yang seemed to feel something and continued with a smile on his face.
"Brother Qin, I think it's better if we come here every once in a while! This will save us the expense of buying supplies from the Japanese pirates at high prices!"
After hearing what Li Yang said, Qin He smiled.
"How could such a good thing happen? As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. Do you think they would be stupid enough to put all the supplies in the camp?"
"Don't be carried away by joy. Although the victory seems easy at the moment, in fact, even if they resist a little, we can't be so easy."
Qin He slowly stopped smiling and said.
Li Yang felt quite sober after hearing this.
Indeed, as Qin He said, if the navy master had resisted for a moment, they would not have been able to achieve such a harvest.
It is estimated that at most it will cause chaos in the navy camp for a while.
"Brother Qin is absolutely right! But I was greedy for merit and rushed in!"
Li Yang is also a person who listens well and even realizes his own problems.
"That matter aside, your words made me think of another way!"
Hearing Qin He's words, Li Yang's originally a little disappointed expression suddenly brightened.
"Brother Qin, have you thought of a way to deal with it?"
Hearing this, Qin He smiled.
"There is no countermeasure. I just thought of other ways to obtain supplies."
"Do you still remember that we were always escorting the maritime trade routes?"
Hearing this, Li Yang nodded.
"Before, we had some scruples and had to sing a double act, but now...we have become pirates, so why should we scruples?"
Li Yang obviously heard the meaning of Qin He's words, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
