Many unfamiliar faces have recently arrived in Lantian County.

They were generous, each of them behaved very properly, and all of them were strong and healthy, clearly the kind of people who would do hard labor.

They usually come out in droves and wander around Lantian County, looking for any injustices.

Whenever a village is flooded or houses collapse, they are always the first to rush to the front lines; rescuing disaster victims is their primary task.

Even if they have no food to eat themselves, they still want to give the disaster victims a bowl of hot porridge.

Countless young people, wearing raincoats, rushed into the torrential rain.

Zhao Hu stood in the military camp, looking at the more than 50,000 soldiers in front of him, and spoke.

"Those who are only sons and have no brothers or sisters, step forward!"

The field was completely silent; no one moved.

Chen Da looked at Guo Datou and kicked him.

"You're all alone at home, what are you pretending for?"

"Reporting to General Chen, we are all children of the people. I have thousands of brothers, I am not an only son!"

"All the brothers here are my brothers and sisters, and they are all my parents' children!"

Chen Da stared at him, stunned.

With tears in his eyes, Zhao Hu, Bai Luoti, and the others stood behind Guo Datou, feeling incredibly proud.

This is our leader, this is the army we follow.

They stood tall and upright, towering above the sky and standing firm in the heavy rain.

Zhao Hu took a deep breath and roared.

"The people and the Ming Dynasty, the time has come to test us!"

"This rain has been falling for nearly two months, and the lives of the people in the capital are in grave danger."

"What we need to do now is to find a way to rescue these people and send them to resettlement centers."

"Remember, we are the people's army, the army of Lantian County, and above all, the Marquis's army!"

"Therefore, in this disaster relief effort, even if it costs us our lives, we must ensure the safety of the people and safeguard their interests."

"The people are supreme! The people are supreme!"

"We are the first batch of soldiers in the military reform, and everything we do represents the future image of the entire army."

"Everything we do now is of the highest honor!"

"Supreme glory! Supreme glory!"

Tens of thousands of people roared in the torrential rain, their voices echoing throughout the heavens and earth!

The workers in the military camp, standing under the eaves, looked at them and felt that something was different.

In the past, officers and soldiers were the most hated professions among the people.

They extort money, bribes, and commit all sorts of evil deeds.

The officers and soldiers of Lantian County, on the other hand, were friendly, harmonious, and helpful.

If you encounter any difficulties, find those people in military uniforms, and you can trust them unconditionally.

The first rule of the army is that the people come above all else!

Li Chang'an not only wrote this sentence on the wall.

He also tried every means to etch himself into the hearts of these officers and soldiers.

He invited most of the Confucian scholars to come.

He gave lectures to these officers and soldiers, and educated them.

He himself would go and tell them stories every few days, using the silly girl to brainwash them.

It's finally starting to take shape.

After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he took a few steps back.

He stood silently to the side.

The soldiers were still wondering why they hadn't set off yet.

Li Chang'an walked up, holding an umbrella.

The moment they saw him appear, the civilians in the military camp began to cheer, and countless soldiers had bloodshot eyes.

Standing on the high platform, he looked at the umbrella in his hand, then put it away.

The rain poured down, and Li Chang'an stood in the rain like a god!

Although no rain dared to fall on him, in the soldiers' eyes, this marquis was just like them, standing in the pouring rain.

Like a monument, like a sculpture, it stands between heaven and earth.

At this moment, everyone's mind was filled with only Li Chang'an.

The whole world was empty except for him, standing tall and upright!

Li Chang'an looked at the soldiers below the stage and said, "Today, I will go with you to search for and rescue disaster victims!"

“I can sit in my mansion and watch you all work hard, but that's not how I, Li Chang’an, am!”

"Since you're following me, I should let you enjoy the good life!"

Even if we can't enjoy the good times, we should still share your hardships!

"I only have one sentence to say here!"

"If that day comes and someone has to die, I, Li Chang'an, will definitely be at the forefront!"

"Now, brothers, the people of the Ming Dynasty are waiting for us, the elders and folks of the Ming Dynasty are waiting for us!"

"Target: All the people of the capital. Let's go!"

Li Chang'an rode his horse, carrying a red flag, and walked at the very front.

More than 50,000 soldiers charged forward into the heavy rain.

They looked at that figure, and at that red flag.

Even if there were mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, they would not be afraid.

"Unity is strength—ready, get ready, sing!"

It's unclear who started it, but the soldiers began singing their military songs.

Countless people are singing, their hearts filled with boundless pride.

The remaining soldiers watched them leave, then put on their raincoats and went about their work in the camp.

Next, the Marquis will be returning with countless disaster victims, and they must be prepared.

Zhang San was working, but he felt a little wronged.

He suddenly dropped the shovel and started punching and kicking Xiong Er.

"You son of a bitch, this disaster relief effort should have been ours, why didn't you dare to compete with Zhao Hu?"

The others saw the two of them fighting but did not stop them, and they were also somewhat resentful.
