"Commanders of the Han Dynasty, is this bow and crossbow good?" Qin Huaidao stood in the mountain road with his head raised and asked these soldiers.
"It is extremely sharp, comparable to the strongest army." the soldiers replied.
Qin Huaidao raised the crossbow high again so that every soldier present could see it: "Do you want such a sharp weapon?"
"Of course I do. After more than 2,000 steps to kill the enemy, who wouldn't want such a sharp weapon?" one of the soldiers replied.
Seeing this, Qin Huaidao took the opportunity to ask everyone: "Why do you want it?"
"Of course it's awesome." Someone blurted out without thinking.
Some of the soldiers began to reflect on the meaning of His Majesty's words. After some astute soldiers thought for a moment, they already understood what Your Majesty meant and lowered their heads in shame.
Most people looked up at Qin Huaidao, waiting for his explanation.
Qin Huaidao smiled softly and said: "You think he is powerful, so you want to have him, but have you ever thought that if one day it is not you who gets him, but your enemy, what will you do?"
"A true warrior does not ask for heaven or earth. He can conquer the world with weapons in his hands. He can hold his head high in the sky and earth even if his hands are unarmed. I am telling you these words not to tell you not to use them, but to remember them.
, No matter how powerful the weapon is, it is just a tool. The tool is dead, but the person is alive. Only when you are strong can you be truly invincible!"
"Do you believe it or not, even if ten of you attack me with this object, I can still kill ten of you?"
As soon as Qin Huaidao said these words, all the soldiers woke up one after another.
Just now, when they were amazed at the far range of this object, their minds had already become vassals of the enhanced repeating crossbow, its slaves.
A truly strong person does not rely on external things. Only when he is strong himself will he become stronger if he possesses this thing. If he only relies on external things and ignores himself, he will fall into an extremely dangerous situation.
All the soldiers bowed to Qin Huai and said, "Thank you for your teaching, Your Majesty. I understand."
Looking at this group of soldiers who had regained consciousness from the obsession with sharp weapons, Qin Huaidao was very satisfied. The fact that they had such determination was enough to prove the excellence of these people.
This is why he was willing to spend time telling them so much.
"Let's go. The governor of Puzhou has been punished as he deserves. We all have to continue to complete the unfinished tasks. The people of the world are still waiting for us. Let's go!"
Following Qin Huaidao's order, these guards and troops in the rear broke out of camp and moved forward again. On the way to Sanmenxia, they encountered a large number of refugees. Fortunately, after killing Pu Shi Town, they obtained the disaster relief grain originally allocated to Puzhou.
With this batch of food supplies, it will be enough to distribute food along the road.
On the way, we also met some Puzhou people. After learning that the Puzhou governor who had oppressed them had been executed on the spot, these Puzhou people all had happy smiles on their old faces.
Puzhou has been in Kufu for a long time.
After learning that this was His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, he even paid homage to His Majesty.
How many emperors in the past dynasties could personally sacrifice themselves to visit the people who were affected by the disaster, and go to the place where the dam broke to control the flood?
After worshiping, these people dispersed.
At this moment, an old man knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Huaidao with a plop. Qin Huaidao quickly stepped forward to help him up: "Old man, I have abolished the kneeling ceremony, so please get up quickly."
Unexpectedly, the old man said: "If your Majesty does not agree to the request of the grassroots, the grassroots will not get up even if they die."
Qin Huaidao: "What's going on?"
The old man then said: "Your Majesty, the people in our village are trapped, please help, otherwise they will all die there, and the old man's granddaughter is also in there, and her life is miserable!"
"Trapped?" Qin Huaidao knew the reason for his persistence and went to help him again: "Don't worry, old man, I came out this time to provide disaster relief and rescue people. I will never abandon any of the Han people. They are here
Hey, lead the way quickly."
The old man was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
As the old man led the people to walk forward, they suddenly discovered that many people were trapped on a mound in front of them. The mound was not high and there were no mountains connecting it. When the flood came, all the roads would be submerged, so
They were trapped up there, unable to move forward or retreat.
"Look, there they are."
The old man said.
Seeing so many people trapped on that hill, Qin Huaidao frowned and asked the old man: "The imperial court has announced the evacuation in advance, so why are everyone still gathering on the hill?"
The old man said helplessly: "To be honest with you, your majesty, the villagers also want to leave, but they can't leave. They need money and no money, no food, no food. If they run to other state roads and there is no more food and drink, we ordinary people will die faster."
, and what your Majesty doesn’t know is that there are many people in the village who have never traveled far, and they dare not leave."
They are the people who were harmed by Pu Shizhen again.
If Pu Shizhen was not dead, Qin Huaidao would definitely arrest him, whip him first and then execute him. He would not be able to take advantage of him.
At this time, according to Qin Huaidao's request, Fang Xuanling supervised the work, and the rescue canoes manufactured by the Ministry of Civil Affairs came in handy. Qin Huaidao ordered people to bring over the canoes loaded with baggage at the rear.
There is a vast ocean below, and the water is bottomless, but these canoes can move freely on the water.
It was also the first time for the officers of the garrison to see such a unique wooden boat. Not only was the boat long and wide, it also had waterwheels the size of carriage wheels on both sides. It was unknown what its purpose was.
Qin Huaidao and Luo Wu led a few people to put one of the wooden boats into the water, and then looked at the people behind him: "Who is willing to try the wooden boat with me?"
"I'll do it!" Several soldiers from the garrison who had just moved the canoe volunteered.
Luo Wu also said: "Count me in. As a commander of the garrison, how can I let my subordinates rush to the front in everything? Don't I want to lose face?"
"Okay, if that's the case, then you guys can follow me on the canoe."
Seeing that Qin Huaidao was about to go up, Luo Wu was a little worried: "Your Majesty, you are a noble person, how can you do it yourself? Let me try. If something goes wrong, at least your Majesty is not in danger."
"I have said that everyone is equal in the world. How can I be a noble person? I am clearly just a public servant of the people. Luo Wu, please keep this in mind in the future. Besides, how would you know how to use this thing without me?"
So, Qin Huaidao ignored Luo Wu's dissuasion and led the garrison on the canoe.
Luo Wu followed helplessly.
"This thing is very simple. If you are lucky enough to have bought a fan sold by Li Jingzang, you will know its principle. It is nothing more than using external force to rotate the water wheels on both sides to drive the entire wooden boat forward."
There are two water wheels on the left and right sides of the canoe. They can be removed and transported on a horse-drawn carriage when not in use, and they can be installed when in use. It is simple and convenient.
