Chapter Seventy-Four: Inspiring the Army
"However, uncles and brothers, Qin'er also has a deep concern for the future. The concern is whether you have enough faith in the future. As Qin'er saw with her own eyes today, your numbers are still very small. Your numbers are a drop in the bucket compared to the sheer armies of all sides of the world. I know that many of you have deep doubts in your hearts: what can people like us do? ”
"But is it inevitable that you can't do it when you're young? Although the seeds are small, with time and conditions, they can grow into towering trees, and they can multiply and become vast forests. Looking up, the verdant peaks around us, this overwhelming green, at first, were just some dusty seeds. I'm just a woman, and I don't know anything about military warfare. However, I have personally demonstrated that there are abilities in each person that they never knew existed. If you have a strong ambition and perseverance, everyone can achieve things that you can't imagine. ”
"Now, I don't know if you can give me a chance to show everyone a proof."
I walked down the steps of the platform and walked towards the mount under the gaze of all the men. I rolled over and got on my horse under their watchful eyes. I sat on my horse, puffed out my chest, and faced them.
I said, "I'm not very good at horseback riding, you can tell it at a glance." When I had just followed your commander through the battle formation, I was nervous for fear of losing control of my horse and falling off my horse in public. ”
I raised my right hand. I said, "This is the palm of my hand." There's no such thing as the countless hard cocoons you all have in the palm of your hand. This is the hand that embroiders flowers and serves tea, and it is the hand with beautiful nails. I've never learned a bow and arrow, and I've never practiced as much as you do. A few days ago, I had never touched a formal bow. I don't have any foundation at all. So, when my brother told me that I would be able to do the following, I didn't believe it at all. I think that's absolutely impossible. But, he says, it's possible. I was able to do it. ”
"Look at the lanterns on the flagpole in front of you, the string of lanterns hanging above the barracks. Your commanders have told me that with perseverance and determination and a strong will to act, I will be able to shoot them down in the gallop of my horses! ”
"And he said to me, Don't let the woman on your body draw the bow, let your father use your arms, use your fingers. Imagine that every arrow in this quiver is your father's life, and imagine that the lantern on the flagpole is your father's unfulfilled mission and unfulfilled dream. Your father is no longer in his body, he can't reach those goals on his own, and he must have you give him a ride. ”
"Your ruler said to me, with all your heart and soul, draw your bow and give your father a ride, so that he can achieve his ideals! He's always inspired me like that. Now I want you to see the results of this incentive. ”
I removed the little bow from my horse. Compared to your mighty bows and arrows, it is so small and delicate.
I cast you an inquiring look.
You nodded at me.
I grabbed the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and I struck the horse with my little bow. It hissed and began to spun off.
I rode it, I rode it with all my soul, passing in front of the black-pressed queue, passing through the eyes of countless men.
I feel the eyes behind you, I feel the strong heartbeat of my own heart, I feel the wind flowing through my cheeks, I feel the distance and angle from the flagpole.
I pulled the first arrow out of the quiver. I put it on my bow. I mentally estimated the distance and location.
I crossed the second point in the first set, I took aim, I drew the little bow into the shape of a full moon, and I aimed it at the lantern at the bottom.
Of all the people, only you and Wu Shun have seen how I have used that brass Hidden Arrow, and no one knows that my ability to hit a target directly without aiming is innate.
I aimed at the lantern at the bottom, and I let go of the bowstring
With a whirl, the whistling arrow flew out of my hand, and it went straight through the air, hitting the rope holding the lantern with a pop.
The lantern falls from the flagpole in response.
The whole school field burst into cheers!
I saw you staring at me intently from afar.
My dear you, I will never fail you. I'll help you set them on fire!
I rode past the men's queue for the second time. I pulled the bow for the second time.
The second lantern also fell!
Every lantern is an obstacle in your way, and I am willing to use my life to help you shoot them down!
I rode past the men for the third time. I can feel that in the place where the horse has run, I have aroused the surging tide of the whole way, and the blood is raging!
I pulled my bow for the third time, and in the midst of a loud cheer, shot down the third lantern.
I love you. All your wishes, I am willing to fulfill. All your dreams, I am willing to fulfill.
The last time I rode past the men, I passed through to a frenzied cheer. This is the kind of frenzy that is needed in the army on the eve of the decisive battle, the kind of frenzy that makes men forget to die!
I pulled the bow one last time. I shot an arrow for the last time. It struck the last lantern and shot through its exterior, splitting the thick candle inside in half, and under the gaze of everyone, the half-split candle fell from the sky and landed on the ground in the middle of the other lanterns.
So, I was overwhelmed by the frenzy of cheers!
I stood in the midst of this frenzy, my chest heaving violently. It's a moment you'll never have in the world of boudoirs. You were the one who led me out of that narrow world.
Through all the cheers, I see you. Our eyes converged. Your eyes are moist.
Thank you! Dear you! Thank you for letting me know about the army. Thank you for letting me meet my father! Thank you for giving my father a second life! Thank you for having my father reborn in me!
I dismounted and returned to the high platform. Now, in the face of this invincible army of the future, I have full confidence. I said, "Now, you've all seen my proof." Trust your Ruler! Believe in yourselves, too! No matter how weak you are now, I believe in you! I believe that you will eventually achieve earth-shattering greatness, and I believe that you will eventually create peace in the world. I believe in you with all my heart, without any doubt, just as my father believed in you! Trust each and every one of you! ”
"I know that after such a long period of hard training, many of you have reached the limit of what you can bear, and even your commander, who is so strong, is so tired that he has been sick for more than ten days."
"But we don't have limits, everyone has no limits. All the limits are what we think we have. As long as we believe that we can, we will definitely be able to! Nothing is impossible! ”
"Just like my dead father, who can be here today, can be reborn between my arms and fingers, in this world, in the face of our iron will, in the face of the sacrifice courage of everyone, there is nothing impossible at all!"
"The chaotic world is in the final war, and the world is peaceful, we will definitely be able to!"
