When this caravan full of money and grain arrived at Huangshui County!
Li Shiming saw the scene that he had not seen in Chang 'an.
It could also be said that he had never seen such a scene in his military career from the time he saved the emperor at Yanmen Pass until he became the emperor.
"When I was in the army, I couldn't do it, but he did it?”
Li Lizhi smiled happily at her father's words.
As expected, her father would be very satisfied with this bastard provincial governor.
Li Shimin got off his horse and led it away.
This way, he could feel the atmosphere better, the atmosphere of his dreams.
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks!
The old master stopped in his tracks, and so did everyone else.
Li Shi Min looked at the scene on the street.
A middle-aged man in coarse clothes with a handkerchief around his neck was arranging his son's armor.
Hahaha!
"This Mingguang Armor is really different!”
"The 'Light of the Sun, the World is Bright' is a good armor, good armor!”
The middle-aged man gently stroked the armor on the young man in front of him.
The square pauldrons on his shoulders, the fish scales on his body, and the circular heart-protecting mirror before his death. His calloused hands caressed her gently.
When this old man became gentle, he was a hundred times gentler to the armor than to his wife.
Li Shi Min smiled in relief when he saw this.
He saw a veteran who was already yearning for the respect and love of armor.
Immediately after, the man held his son's tear-stained cheek.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man's eyes widened and he shouted,""Cry and beg!"
"Let me tell you, when you wear armor, you're a f * cking soldier.”
"Soldiers can only bleed, not cry!”
"Father!"
With a clang, the young man knelt down."Father, I'm sorry!" she said with tears in her eyes.”
"Perhaps I won't be able to help the family harvest the crops in the future.”
"Perhaps, my son still needs you as a grandfather to raise him!”
"Thank you for your trouble!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately wanted to kowtow.
But this veteran's skills were not bad!
He took a step forward and the helmet happened to hit the back of his foot.
He grabbed the disheartening, good-for-nothing thing and said angrily,"Unfilial son, are you trying to slack off?”
"Do you want to exhaust your father to death?"
"I'm telling you, you should harvest the crops. Father is only helping you.”
"Your son is being raised by your father?"
"Isn't it tiring enough for me to raise you?”
"Do you f * cking have the heart to do that?"
As he spoke, he grabbed his son's collar with both hands and said fiercely,"Useless fellow, if I had your equipment back then, I wouldn't have been scratched by the enemy!!!”
At this moment, Li Lizhi saw the shoulder of the middle-aged man who was a few years older than her father.
There were two scars on his shoulders alone!
Li Shi Min was an experienced soldier. Just look at how the violent father treated his son's armor gently and yearned for it. He knew that his father was also a prefecture soldier, a soldier who had survived a narrow escape.
Li Lizhi didn't know, but when she saw the scar and heard those words, she knew.
Her tears couldn't stop flowing out of her eyes!
The veteran continued to educate his son,"Brat, let me teach you a lesson that will make it easier for you to survive."”
" A tiger's roar can make heaven and earth fearless!"
"The fiercer you look, the more afraid the enemy is of you, and the weaker the enemy's legs are.”
"Then, you have to go all out to have a chance to live.”
"When deserters expose their backs to the enemy, the enemy will look down on you and want to kill you.”
The young man wiped his tears and said with a sharp gaze,"Father, don't use these words to provoke me. Our Zhu family doesn't have deserters.”
The veteran nodded and punched his son's heart protection mirror. It was very firm and stable.
"Alright, remember this. Wearing armor and picking up weapons was a responsibility to the country.”
"Coming back alive is my responsibility to my family.”
While he was alive, he took his son's Shanwen Armor, the white spear, and the slightly rusty knife and put them all on his wheelbarrow.
"Dad, why did you take away my old equipment?" the young man asked in surprise.”
The veteran turned around decisively and said,"Let me teach you another lesson."”
"If you have to choose between your country and your home country at the critical moment of life and death, you have to choose your responsibility to your country.”
"Sacrificing your life for the country is the true nature of a man!"
"If your 20,000 soldiers can't hold on any longer, I, your father, will wear your old equipment and come back to defend the city.”
Gulp! Gulp!
As soon as he finished speaking, the veteran pushed his son's old equipment home.
Li Shiming was stunned when he saw the veteran approaching him!
According to the usual rules, when a city was at war, wouldn't non-combatants evacuate in the opposite direction?
Why were the people of this place so righteous?
"Fellow townsman!"
"There's going to be a war. You're not a combatant. Shouldn't you evacuate?”
The veteran looked at Li Shiming. He looked like a man with a heroic spirit, but why was he so spineless?
Judging from his attire and style, he should be a foreign businessman.
The veteran frowned.”
"Men under the age of 14, women under the age of 20, and women with children under the age of 14 have all been evacuated and sent to Yizhou for settlement.”
"But we are called logistics personnel, also known as reserves. We can't leave!”
"Reserve?"
Li Shimin was baffled. Why were there so many new terms in this place?
Neither he nor Li Lizhi had heard of this new term.
"What is it? Reserve duty?" Li Shimin asked again.”
Haha!
The fellow villager smiled proudly and pointed in the direction of the state office with a thumbs up."Our provincial governor said so."
"If the war starts, the current prefecture soldiers will bear the brunt.”
"At this time, the responsibility of us old fellows is to provide them with good logistical support.”
"Cook for them, send them food, repair their armor.”
"If they're almost done fighting, we should go!”
"This is called reserve duty!"
"Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk to you. How can you rich people know this?”
"I'll give you a piece of advice. Leave quickly. Once the city is sealed tomorrow, no one can leave!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the veteran pushed the cart away.
Li Shi Min looked at the back of the veteran and folded his hands. With his thumbs up and his palms vertical to the ground, he bowed.
The experts of the palace were all surprised. He was the emperor!
But now, Li Shiming seemed to have forgotten that he was the emperor, and he was only Master Li.
He was just a veteran!
He was younger than the veteran seniors in front of him. He could be considered a new recruit!
Perhaps this veteran was the one who guarded the Great Sui Dynasty's gate and the gate during the Martial Virtue Era.
Now, he was ready to return to the battlefield and protect the country during the Zhenguan period.
Why not bow to such a veteran!
The group continued forward and found that such scenes were everywhere.
After their parents and wives came to deliver supplies, they would meet their sons and husbands like this.
Perhaps, this was the last time they would meet.
"Reserve?"
"This Lord Lin's war mobilization ability is very strong!”
"I finally understand what non-combatants mean!”
"No wonder he is confident in resisting an enemy force of 100,000 or 200,000.”
Li Shiming nodded in satisfaction and looked at Li Lizhi,"Quick, bring father to meet this Lord Lin!”
