When someone saw the flying flag, they shouted happily: "That's Queen Rong's army! They are good people! They are here to protect us!"
The word quickly spread among the people, and the panic disappeared, replaced by ecstasy.
"It's Queen Rong's man!"
"It's here to save us, I saw that flag!"
"Great, we're saved!"
When Lin Hai arrived on horseback, the people knelt in front of the horses and wailed and complained: "Pan Meichen caught the young man, grabbed the food, and messed up our life! You have to save us!"
Although Lin Hai is a seven-foot man, he does not shed tears lightly, but seeing the tragic scene in front of him, he can't help but have a sour nose.
"Don't worry, as long as you are in Queen Rong's territory, we will definitely protect your safety. Pan Meichen, an old ghost, we will settle accounts with him sooner or later!"
The people cheered: "General Rong is really our reborn parents!"
Lin Hai pointed at the barracks of the Imperial Forest Army: "Hurry up and go to the barracks to rest for a while. I'll send soldiers back to cook hot soup and prepare food for you. It's freezing cold, so you have to suffer!"
I saw a child about four or five years old with red chilblains on his ears, face, and hands. The most unbearable thing was that he had no shoes and waded through the freezing river with bare feet!
Lin Hai took off his boots, took off his padded jacket, and let the child wear it. Then pointing to the child's red ears: "Does it hurt?"
The child had warm boots and clothes to wear, and smiled happily, as if he had forgotten that his face was full of chilblains. He smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little itchy!"
Stupid, very cute.
The child's naivety made Lin Hai's voice choke even more: "You sit on my war horse and go to the military camp. There is a beautiful and kind sister there who will give you hot meals."
The child scratched his scalp and smiled: "That sister is so beautiful, why did she come out to fight? If a knife cuts her face, wouldn't she be unbeautiful?"
Lin Hai touched his fluffy and dirty hair: "For the sake of the country and for you to live in Chang'an, she doesn't care whether she is beautiful or not, but in our opinion, she will always be the most beautiful person."
The child asked curiously, "What does Chang'an mean?"
Lin Hai smiled and said, "Chang'an means eternal peace."
The child asked again: "Will our Dajing Congress be safe forever?"
Lin Hai looked at the Imperial Forest Army's camp with firm and resolute eyes: "Yes! Because we have Queen Rong!"
"The beautiful sister you mentioned is Queen Rong?"
Lin Hai carried the child onto the horse's back: "Yes, she is the legendary Queen Rong!"
I don't know who shouted: "Long live Queen Rong!"
The people also shouted: "Long live Queen Rong!"
The voice of Long Live filled the sky and the earth. Although the voice was not as tidy as that of the army, it was more shocking.
After the sound of "long live", there was a sound of horses croaking from the other side, and the sound of galloping horseshoes came like a tide.
"Look, Pan Meichen's rebel army is chasing after him!"
Lin Hai followed the reputation, and sure enough, on the other side of the Jing River, the rebel army was coming fiercely, riding on horses and shouting, while shooting arrows, some arrows fell on the south bank, hurting some people.
"Everyone, run to the Imperial Forest Army barracks!"
Lin Hai ordered a leader to lead the people to the barracks, while he left more than 200 cavalry behind.
"Even the common people are not spared, what a fucking inhuman!"
Lin Hai took out the sparrow bow with his right hand, put on the arrow, and fell on the horse's back. He kicked the bowstring with his right foot, aimed at the most arrogant general in front of the rebels, and with a whoosh, the arrow went like a shooting star. The rebel general yelled, got off his horse, and was trampled by the horses behind him, his brains were trampled out.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Hai bent his bow and set his arrow, and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to take a step near the river, I will shoot his brains to pieces!"
The rebels were terrified, forced by Lin Hai's shooting arrows, they dared not go any further, they could only watch thousands of people seek refuge in Rong Chang'an.
Lin Hai didn't return until the common people entered the barracks.
When Rong Changan saw the misery of the people, he felt miserable too. He ordered the cooks in the army to cook meat soup for the people immediately, and he also ordered the master Bo in the army to distribute the cotton-padded jackets, bedding, boots and socks for the army to the people. Let every commoner have a padded jacket, a pair of boots, and a quilt.
The general in the army was dissatisfied with Rong Changan's decision, so he invited Rong Changan to the big tent and told her solemnly:
"Queen Rong, we are very short of military supplies now. You are so generous to give these refugees, what will the army do? We need to expand our military resources, but without cotton jackets, boots, and bedding, who will join our army and fight with us? It’s better to cook some thick soup, distribute a few steamed buns to each of the common people, and send them to the capital, or to any place in the south.”
A strange look came out from Rong Chang'an Qing Lingling's eyes, and shot at the general's face.
"The people are the foundation of the country and the foundation of the army. Without the support of the people, we will never win the battle! Many soldiers in the Royal Forest Army came from the people. You joined the Royal Forest Army and defended the capital to protect the people. You want me to abandon the people? Where is your conscience? Where is your ambition?"
After a short speech, the general was speechless, and after a long time he said: "I don't know that the people are the foundation of the army, but if all the military supplies are given to these people, how can we expand the source of troops?"
Rong Chang'an said: "About this issue, we will slowly find a solution. The most important thing now is to let the common people have food and clothing."
Afterwards, Rong Chang'an ordered the army to kill the sheep, while she cooked the meat soup and steamed the steamed buns herself. The steamed steamed buns are full of fragrance, and many people swallow their saliva.
Rong Changan carried a drawer of steaming steamed buns to the people, and distributed them to each of them, two of them. These people have been fleeing for a whole day, tired, cold and hungry, holding steamed buns in their hands, gobbling them voraciously, and some of them swallowed the whole steamed buns in one bite. Because he ate too fast, he choked, scratched his throat and screamed.
Rong Changan patted him on the back and ordered the sergeant: "Bring this uncle a bowl of hot water!"
After drinking the hot water, the uncle finally breathed smoothly, and kowtowed to Rong Changan gratefully: "Thank you Queen Rong! Great kindness, I will repay you in the next life!"
Rong Changan saw that he was skinny, with protruding cheekbones, ragged clothes, and his bare skin was frozen red and purple. She had a sore nose, turned her head away, and secretly wiped away tears.
"I don't ask you for anything in return, I just want you to live well!" Then he ordered to the soldiers, "Give me a set of padded jackets!"
The soldier held a set of padded jackets, and Rong Changan put them on for the uncle. The uncle was very thin, and the coat was draped over him, like adult clothes on a three-year-old child. He wanted to laugh and feel sad.
"Is it warm?"
The uncle smiled happily and showed two rows of yellow teeth: "It's warm! It's a gift from Empress Rong, and it's all warm!" He turned to the other people and said, "Empress Rong is our Avalokitesvara, don't you think so? "
This time everyone answered neatly: "Yes!"
At the same time, everyone kowtowed to Rong Changan to thank him: "Thank you for the queen's rebirth!"
Rong Changan was very frightened, with tears streaming down his face, he hurriedly asked everyone to get up: "I, Rong Changan, He De He Neng, is just a small favor, you don't have to worry about it! Get up quickly!"
Some people said: "It's a small matter for Queen Rong, but it's a big thing for us!"
"We are lucky to have a queen like you in Dajing country!"
There was never a time when Rong Changan was able to deeply realize his sense of mission and honor like now. At the same time, she also realized how great the responsibility was on her shoulders.
