The Rise of a Farm Girl

Chapter 104: Civil War in the Dayu Dynasty

Yu Wenhua was very surprised to see his niece coming back, because his niece was very capable.

These days, Yu Wenhua was so worried about food and fodder that he almost pulled his hair out, but there was no food anywhere. This year, the people didn't even plant crops. They dug wild vegetables, fruits, grass roots and tree bark to eat every day.

The people had no food to eat, and their soldiers were suffering from hunger every day.

They were almost unable to hold on, and God was helping them. At this critical moment of life and death, Wang Jingru came. Wang Jingru was the salvation of these soldiers in the barracks.

At this time, Yu Wenhua saw Wang Jingru walking towards him with light on her body, and she looked like a fairy descending from the sky.

Yu Wenhua came up excitedly and gave Wang Jingru a big hug, "Jingru girl, you are finally back."

If you don't come back, you will never see me, your uncle, again. Yu Wenhua shed two tears as he spoke.

Wang Jingru twitched her lips. How could her uncle miss her? He must have run out of food and wanted him to donate some food for free.

Even though he missed her, he didn't think about her too much. Wang Jingru and Yu Wenhua chatted for a while at the door of the tent before he remembered to let her in.

Jingru, why did you come by yourself? Why didn't Wu Tianyang come? Uncle, when we got off the boat, we heard that our country was in chaos. Wu Tianyang hurried to the western border to see his army.

Originally my husband was worried about me and didn't want me to go with him to the western border. I was worried, uncle, so I came to you alone.

Yu Wenhua poured a glass of water for Wang Jingru and smiled awkwardly. He had originally wanted to ask the barracks' mess to cook some food to entertain his niece. But there was nothing in the barracks except water and wild vegetables.

Yu Wenhua said embarrassedly, "There is not even a grain of rice left in the barracks, and the soldiers are living on wild vegetables and grass roots. Your uncle is not capable of making a sumptuous meal for you."

Wang Jingru widened his eyes. He knew that the soldiers led by his uncle were in difficulties, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult that they didn't even have a grain of rice. Fortunately, he arrived in time.

At this time Yu Wenhua also became sad. He knew that his niece was capable, but no matter how capable she was, she could not create food all of a sudden.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were waiting for him, the general, to support them, but he didn't have a single grain of rice. Thinking of this, Yu Wenhua covered his face and started crying.

Wang Jingru quickly patted her uncle's back to comfort him. "Don't cry, uncle. I have a way to ensure that the soldiers can have a full meal tonight."

You take me to the granary, Yu Wenhua even joked, "My uncle will take you to the granary, but can you really produce food for me?"

Wang Jingru urged Yu Wenhua to take her to the granary. Yu Wenhua doted on Wang Jingru very much, so he took Wang Jingru to the granary.

Wang Jingru walked into the granary, and in front of Yu Wenhua's shocked eyes, Wang Jingru waved her hand lightly, and grain appeared in the granary, and more and more grain appeared. It was not until Wang Jingru and Yu Wenhua kept leaving the granary that the grain blocked the door of the granary.

What Yu Wenhua was concerned about was not the food, but Wang Jingru. Yu Wenhua hurriedly closed the door of the granary, then took Wang Jingru's hand and returned to the tent.

As soon as he entered the room, he began to ask Jingru in a low voice, what was going on, how could she produce so much food, is it harmful to her body, how could anyone know that she had such a great ability.

Wang Jingru said with a smile, “No one else knows about my uncle, only my husband, my parents, my brother, Brother Xuanyuan and his wife, and then it’s you, my uncle.”

Yu Wenhua heard that these people knew about it while the others didn't, so he felt greatly relieved.

Yu Wenhua repeatedly warned Jingru, "Don't use it in front of others in the future. If others knew about it, they would not appreciate your treasure and abilities."

It was not until the evening that Yu Wenhua sent people to the granary to get grain. His excuse was that it was Princess Jingru who hired a caravan to deliver the grain yesterday.

Although the soldiers were a little confused, how come they didn’t know that the caravan was coming? Were they so hungry that their hearing decreased?

The soldiers shook their heads and started to move food out. Now was not the time to think about anything, they were still hungry.

I hadn't eaten anything in the first place, so my stomach was empty and I was shaking even when I was moving food.

All the soldiers moved the food to the fire room in the barracks. The cooks had already set up a big pot and lit the fire, just waiting for the food to be put into the pot.

Bags of rice were moved into the fire room. Seeing the rice coming, everyone started to get busy. Even the soldiers couldn't wait to help because they were so hungry.

All the big pots in the fire room were taken out, and after the rice was cooked, the aroma wafted far away, making all the greedy soldiers swallow their saliva.

Wang Jingru also smelled the fragrance of the rice, so she asked her eldest uncle if he should give some meat to the soldiers. Yu Wenhua's eyes widened like bells.

Jingru! You still have meat, Wang Jingru nodded, some have a lot, and there are a lot of eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs. Uncle, do you want to eat?

Yu Wenhua excitedly took Wang Jingru's hand and said, "Come with me." Then they came to an uninhabited tent. The tent was very large and it was where all their soldiers usually held meetings.

But now people are hungry, how can they fight? So there is no one left.

Wang Jingru put out the meat and eggs separately. Now Wang Jingru's space can be said to be filled with flocks of poultry, countless in number. If you pick up the eggs slowly, they will hatch into chicks.

The food released was enough for all the soldiers in the barracks to have a full meal of meat.

These things filled the entire tent. After putting them away, the two left and returned to the tent.

After a while, Yu Wenhua asked people to go to the big tent to carry meat and cook it for the soldiers. He also told the soldiers that they would be given eggs the next morning.

The soldiers arrived at the meeting camp, and when they opened the door of the tent, what came into their eyes was meat, lots of meat, pork, chicken, duck, and mutton.

When the soldiers saw so much meat, they quickly found some more people and helped move the meat to the fire room. After all the meat was moved in, it attracted everyone's attention.

The soldiers were originally so hungry that they were staggering when they walked, but now they are all very energetic. With good food to eat, they are no longer listless.

Everyone started cutting the meat together, and rice was already served from the big pot.

The big wooden barrels were filled with rice, piled high. Now water was added to the big pot, the meat was put into the pot, salt was added and it began to cook.

Everyone was waiting anxiously and helped to make a fire. They put wood under the pot one by one. The fire burned very vigorously and soon the meat was cooked. After cooking for a while, the meat was still not too soft, so they started to serve rice and share the meat.

Everyone was eating voraciously, shoveling rice into their mouths. They were reluctant to stop even when they choked, for they were afraid that they had not eaten enough.

There were hundreds of thousands of people eating in the military camp, and the scene was very spectacular. Everyone held a small bowl with rice filling up the bowl. There was rice and broth, and on top of it were several large pieces of fat and lean meat.

They were very satisfied with the meal, their mouths full of oil. In such an environment and atmosphere, Wang Jingru unknowingly ate a bowl of rice and two large pieces of meat.

Wang Jingru was so full that she kept burping. She had been in a hurry to travel these days and had not eaten much hot food.

Even his uncle Yuwenhua, who ate with the soldiers, was full today, which really made the soldiers starve.

After all the soldiers finished eating, they started to clean up together. What they were most worried about was having a full meal that day.

They didn’t know if there would be any tomorrow. They only remembered it after they finished eating. They were very worried. If they had known, they would have cooked porridge. The porridge they each ate could last them two or three days.

This made all the soldiers regretful. The general had worked so hard to find some food for them, but they didn't cherish it and didn't eat it sparingly.

Just when Ao was feeling regretful, he heard the general say that everyone would be well fed every day from now on. The food was bought by Princess Jingru from other countries during her long voyage on the sea.

As soon as they landed, food was delivered to them. After they ate these, more food would be delivered.

Everyone, just practice your skills, exercise your bodies, and prepare for the battle. Don't waste the precious food that Princess Jingru brought us.

After hearing the general's words, all the soldiers sincerely thanked Princess Jingru, saying that she was worthy of being the Princess of War and always thought about them in her heart.

Wang Jingru was very happy to see that all the soldiers were in high spirits. My uncle had no food, so did Brother Xuanyuan have any food in his barracks?

Wang Jingru's arrival solved the food problem. Everyone was very happy. Yu Wenhua no longer had to worry about food. The next day, he began to train his soldiers.

In recent days, the Great Desert Kingdom has begun to make moves again. The information Yu Wenhua obtained was that King Xiaoyao's son Xuanyuan He had colluded with the Great Desert Kingdom.

The Desert Kingdom lent him a helping hand, and when he became the emperor, he gave the Desert Kingdom five cities and 100,000 taels of gold.

In fact, the cooperation between the Desert Kingdom and Xuanyuan He was not sincere. They wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in the Dayu Dynasty to seize a few cities. They even wanted to divide a part of the Dayu Dynasty.

Not only the Desert Kingdom, but also the Wu Kingdom and the Tianqi Kingdom launched attacks.

In the Dayu Dynasty, there was constant war, and there were battles everywhere. There were many factions, each fighting for themselves, and everyone wanted to sit on the supreme chair.

The Great Desert Kingdom has gathered its forces in the past two days, planning to have a big battle with Yu Wenhua and his men. Wang Jingru took out foreign guns and bullets from the space.

When these foreign guns and bullets were taken out, Yu Wenhua didn't recognize them. After Wang Jingru loaded the bullets, she demonstrated to him and then fired a shot forward, hitting a bird flying in the air.

After the shot was fired, Yu Wenhua was shocked and petrified. He stammered, "Jing, Jing, Jingru, what kind of hidden weapon is this? It's so powerful."

Wang Jingru said proudly, Uncle, this is not a hidden weapon, this is the treasure I got. We arrived at a country on the sea, and their weapon is this thing. They call it a foreign gun.

They use this weapon when fighting between countries. This weapon is very powerful and has great lethality.

Moreover, the range is very long. As long as you learn how to shoot, you will never worry about not hitting the enemy. As long as you hit the heart and forehead, the person hit will definitely die.

Yu Wenhua reacted at this time and said, Jingru, tell your uncle how many such weapons you have and whether you can give him some.

Wang Jingru laughed and said, "Uncle, I just wanted to get some for you, otherwise I wouldn't show them to you."

With this weapon, my uncle can fight a hundred enemies at once. I can get you two thousand foreign guns and a hundred thousand rounds of bullets, which are enough for my uncle to kill the enemy on the battlefield.

Yu Wenhua nodded repeatedly and said yes, yes, she is really my good niece.

Don't worry, once we win this battle, I will ask the Emperor to give you the food and the money for the guns and ammunition.

Uncle, please find some people who are good at archery so that you can aim accurately when shooting.

So Wang Jingru put all the guns and bullets on the ground of the tent.

Yu Wenhua touched these foreign guns with great curiosity, just as if they were rare treasures.

Wang Jingru taught Yu Wenhua how to use a gun, how to aim, how to shoot, and how to load bullets.

Still unsatisfied, he went to the training ground, where Yu Wenhua personally selected 999 people, because he wanted to keep a gun for himself.

When these people were chosen, they didn't know what to do. They only knew that the general had assigned them tasks and they just had to obey his orders.

When Yu Wenhua gave each of them a gun, these people were confused. What was this?

It appears to be made of iron, but can you use such an iron rod to fight? It's not as long as a human spear, nor as sharp as a human sword.

If this thing can be used in war, then something strange has happened. Is the general crazy to let them use this thing in war?

But they will soon be slapped in the face, and soon they will hold the things as if they were treasures, and even want to hold them when they sleep.

The general showed everyone how to load the bullet and how to aim and shoot. Yu Wenhua said loudly, there are not many bullets, save them all for me.

Now I will give each of you two. I cannot give you more than that. I will only teach you once, and you can study and figure it out on your own.

Yuwenhua showed them the power of the gun. Just firing this one shot shocked the soldiers greatly.

Just now they looked down on this diehard, but now they don't think so anymore.

The power of this thing is really great, and its range is really long. Each of them fired the first shot according to the general's instructions. After this shot, they completely fell in love with foreign guns.

Everyone received bullets, and they treasured them very much. No one could let go of them. But there was one thing: there was a safety on the gun, and they had to turn on the safety when not shooting. Otherwise, it was easy to cause an accidental discharge and injure their own people.

All the soldiers were extremely envious of the foreign rifles they held. They were all very proud.
