After all, Huo Qubing had repeatedly ordered that no one was allowed to take a single needle or thread from the people.
Although it was very cold, they did not dare to disobey military orders.
Some elderly people started to speak:
"My men, take it! We are all old now. We are satisfied to see the Qin army fight back in our lifetime!"
"Yes, we are all Qin people, no one is different from anyone else. Take it. It's so cold, how can you survive without these things?"
“…”
Some younger generations, worried about their elders’ close contact with soldiers, followed quietly.
An elder with a white beard noticed them approaching and said loudly:
"Children, open your eyes and take a look. These soldiers in front of you who are about your age are not pirates!
They are our Qin army. Our ancestors have been Qin people for generations, old Qin people!
We can’t let you youngsters forget our roots just because those damn Japanese pirates stayed here for a few years!
We are all Qin people! Once a Qin person, always a Qin person! "
The reason why the young people living in Yizhou City were afraid of joining the army was because the Japanese pirates had a bad influence on them.
Who could have known that the group of people who drove away the Japanese pirates were good people?
Therefore, the young people with this idea in mind were not willing to have too much contact with the Qin soldiers.
Now, when they heard what the old man said, they all lowered their heads in shame.
Yes, those soldiers were not Japanese pirates.
But they are our own compatriots!
Why should we be afraid of our fellow countrymen?
"Listen up, you bastards! These soldiers have come all the way from the inland to fight the Japanese pirates for us!
I know that many of you do not consider yourself Qin people. This is no wonder. After all, the Japanese pirates have occupied our Yizhou for many years.
However, no matter what, you can't change the fact that you have Qin blood flowing in your veins! You are Qin people, citizens of the Qin State!
How can the people of Qin be afraid of Qin's soldiers? These soldiers have no ill will towards us Yizhou people! "
There were elderly people scolding the younger generations harshly.
After a while, a general in the army slowly said: "Fellow villagers, we have come here at the order of His Majesty the Emperor to help you drive out the Japanese pirates!
From now on, you will no longer be oppressed by the Japanese pirates. As soldiers, soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, we will protect you for generations and carry the burden for you!
You don't have to be afraid of us. To us, we are all from the same hometown, comrades, and brothers. Even if our bones are broken, they are still connected. How could we possibly harm you?"
As soon as the words fell.
Many young people turned around and returned to their homes.
Seeing this scene, the general's eyes instantly became a little lost.
I have already said this, but those people still don’t want to believe it?
But the next moment.
Then something happened that he found unbelievable.
I saw those young people taking out bedding or some heating items from their homes.
After seeing this scene, many soldiers couldn't help but shed tears.
It is an indescribable feeling to be trusted by your fellow brothers.
"Thank you, soldiers, for coming to Yizhou. Please help the people of Yizhou and beat those Japanese pirates!"
"My dear soldiers, my family is poor, so I only have these few quilts left. I hope you won't despise them!"
"Soldier, just take it. It's just a quilt. It's not a big deal."
"Soldier, this is the steamed bun my wife just made. Eat it while it's hot!"
"Soldier, are you looking for a wife? I want to marry you!"
“…”
More and more young people are getting along well with those who are serving in the army.
Gradually.
Heavy snow fell from the sky.
The temperature is getting colder.
But on this bitterly cold night, everyone, whether military or civilian, felt warm in their hearts.
This was the warmest winter night they had ever experienced.
