Chapter 70: I Have a Dream
Li Zhen stood on the high platform, slowly straightened his chest, his body was like a pine, his spine was like a dragon, and he stood like a mountain. His gaze was calm and deep, sweeping over the soldiers in the school yard one by one. Every soldier looked at Li Zhen with expectation and excitement in his eyes. They waited with bated breath.
At this moment, Li Zhen's mood suddenly became heavy.
Prior to this, Li Zhen had only come to review the results of the soldiers' training, and had no intention of speaking. Speaking in front of more than 2,000 soldiers, Li Zhen is not stage frightened, and can make a big call smoothly and easily. After a word of encouragement, the soldiers will be excited for a long time if they mobilize the atmosphere and boost their morale.
However, Li Zhen felt that something was wrong in his heart and was a little depressed.
The more than 2,000 soldiers in the school yard are Li Zhen's foundation and loyal to him. For such a group of soldiers, Li Zhen wanted to say something else, because they had to follow Li Zhen to fight bloody battles and would fight for this great country.
Li Zhen didn't want the soldiers under his command to only know how to fight, but to have a firm spiritual belief, to know what to fight for, this was Li Zhen's sudden idea.
Li Zhen pondered what to say in his heart, and did not speak for the time being.
Silent!
The school yard was silent and silent.
Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou, Zhou Xiuying, and Huang Hu were all staring at Li Zhen, secretly anxious in their hearts, and didn't understand why Li Zhen didn't speak for a long time. At the same time, Huang Shihai and others also began to speculate about Li Zhen's intentions and why he didn't speak.
The atmosphere in the field became depressing.
The eyes of all the soldiers converged on Li Zhen.
For five minutes, it was all quiet.
No one made a sound, not even a cough, only a faint breathing. It can also be seen from this that the soldiers trained by Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou and Zhou Xiuying are forbidden by orders and are already obedient soldiers. There are also some soldiers who regard Li Zhen's failure to speak as a test and wait patiently.
Li Zhen tilted his head, closed his eyes, took a deep breath before opening his eyes, and said loudly: "More than 4,000 years ago, China had three emperors and five emperors, and they multiplied and began to prosper on this land of China. ”
"Wow!"
Li Zhen's opening remarks surprised the soldiers below.
Not only that, Yang Banhou, Huang Shihai and Zhou Xiuying also widened their eyes, opened their mouths slightly, and showed incredible expressions on their faces. Li Zhen's opening remarks were so unexpected that no one could have guessed that Li Zhen would say that. Speeches to soldiers are generally to say some words of encouragement and then give some benefits to win over the soldiers to sell their lives.
Now that I'm thousands of years back, everyone is dumbfounded.
Fortunately, no one spoke.
Li Zhen's expression was serious, his eyes swept around, and he continued: "More than 4,000 years ago, China began to rise, and the Chinese nation stood on top of the world. At that time, China had civilization, and where were the United States, France, Russia, and Britain? They are still a group of wild people, and in some places there are not even people, only birds, beasts, insects, and fish. ”
"After the three emperors and five emperors, there are Xia, Shang, Zhou, and Qin Shi Huang, and there are more Han Wu heroes."
"Towering China, standing in the world, can be called the kingdom of the Celestial Empire."
"Han general Chen Tang once said: Those who commit a strong man will be punished even if they are far away! This sentence expresses the hearts of many Han family children. When I think about these bold words, I still feel my blood boiling. ”
"In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was the center of the world."
"To the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, no harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. How magnificent! In today's world, it is land reparations, foreigners are rampant, and I feel ashamed. ”
"China stands in the world, the center of the world, and the head of all nations."
But today, more than 4,000 years later, they can no longer raise their heads, the Han people see the Manchurians are one level lower, and the Chinese people see the foreigners to be one level lower, and they have to bow their heads and be pleasing to the eyes. Why is that? We have tens of thousands of brothers and sisters, can't we win? I don't think we can't win, it's that we don't dare to fight, it's that this country doesn't dare to fight. ”
Li Zhen waved his fist and gradually entered the state.
Zhou Xiuying's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance. Although Li Zhen did not mention the Manchu Dynasty, there were also allusions in his words. Huang Shihai, Yang Banhou and others all clenched their fists, and there was blood flowing in their hearts.
Think about the year, majestic!
So far, it is full of desolation!
In such a situation, everyone felt angry, and there were strange emotions in the depths of their hearts.
Li Zhen continued: "Russia in the north was once conquered by the Mongols, and the country was established only a few hundred years ago, but now it has invaded the territory of the north, like a violent bear. Britain and France are also countries that have been established for hundreds of years, but they are already aggressive, forcing the Manchus to sign unequal treaties. Even the United States has been growing arrogant in less than a hundred years. ”
"What about us, as the Celestial Empire?"
"When the enemy came to attack, the court did not resist, and was afraid of being beaten, only to survive, only to grovel."
"However, if the court does not resist, we must rise up."
"Shanghai is a place full of foreigners, and when I come here, it is my territory, and I am in charge. Foreigners dare to act recklessly in Shanghai, and I dare to suppress them. If the foreigners dare to kill me, I will dare to kill them back. Foreigners have strong ships and cannons, but we also have the wisdom left by our ancestors, as long as we dare to fight, there is no foreigner who is not afraid of fighting. ”
Speaking of excitement, Li Zhen's face also turned red.
Li Zhen said excitedly: "I am very pleased that you have trained hard, practiced your skills, and practiced martial arts. From you, I see the hope of the country and the indomitable spirit in the depths of our hearts. I have a dream, I think we are a strong and prosperous country, the country is not bullied, the people are free, and the Han people are not oppressed. ”
Gradually, Li Zhen began to calm down again.
Li Zhen looked at the soldier and said calmly: "I want to tell you that following me is not to make you feel at ease. You can drink wine and eat meat, and even take money to go to brothels to find women, but you are soldiers, and you are a weapon to protect the country. On your shoulders, you have the responsibility to protect the country and its people. ”
"When I say this, some soldiers may say that I am just a small soldier, how can I protect the country? The state is a matter for the emperor to consider, not for me. ”
"It would be a mistake to think so."
"The emperor can't protect the country, he can't protect the people, it's you soldiers who really protect the territory and the people. With you, the country will be able to get rid of foreign enemies and resist aggression. "What Li Zhen wants to do is to instill in the soldiers the idea of their participation, so that all the soldiers think that the effort is meaningful.
Some of the soldiers looked serious, while others still looked confused.
All kinds of reactions, all kinds of things.
Li Zhen said loudly: "Actually, the reason is very simple, think about it carefully, the foreigners are killed, the bandits rebel, will the emperor go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?" Will the officials of the DPRK and China wave their flags and shout? At the end of the day, it's the soldiers who are fighting on the battlefield, the ones who carry the heavy burdens on your shoulders. ”
"Some soldiers will say, everyone who is a soldier has nothing to do, why do we have to train hard? I still say the same thing, you carry the country and the people on your shoulders, this is the responsibility! ”
Li Zhen gave the soldiers a goal, a sacred belief, and an unshirkable responsibility.
Huang Shihai took the lead in shouting: "General, I'll do it with you." ”
Immediately afterwards, Huang Hu, Yang Banhou and others all responded loudly, and the voices of soldiers began to sound one after another in the school field. Even, the three hundred female soldiers behind Zhou Xiuying began to shout.
The entire school field began to boil.
ps: two of the three watches; This chapter took more than three hours to write, which is too much of an effort, so let's give it some encouragement.
