After eating the food provided by Xia Jun, the North Korean workers were finally freed from the cold and exhaustion.
This is a delicacy they have never tasted in their entire lives.
Those North Korean yangban masters will never give them good things. They only treat them as pigs and dogs, beating and scolding them at will. Even if they see them freezing to death, starving to death, or exhausted, they will not give them good things.
Just indifferent.
Unlike the Xia army soldiers around them, they treated them as human beings.
Give him a peach and give him a plum in return.
How could these seemingly ignorant North Koreans not be grateful?
After an unforgettable lunch, the team set out again.
These North Koreans all used 200% of their strength. Not only did they not cheat, they also took the work they were doing as their own business.
Invisibly, the team moved forward much faster.
No matter how difficult the road was, these North Korean workers climbed through ice and snow and gritted their teeth to carry it through.
The two groups of people didn't speak the same language, but after a meal, they connected their hearts.
Everyone helped and supported each other, and finally defeated this devilish winter.
The leading officer clearly felt the changes in the Korean workers. When they camped that night, they not only provided the Koreans with enough food, but also arranged warm tents for them.
He also discussed it with others.
"The clothes of these North Koreans are too thin. Although they can now eat hot soup and rice, they are not very effective in resisting the cold. You have also seen that many people's hands and feet are frozen. If this continues, I am afraid that they will walk
During the Nakdong River, many people could not save their hands and feet."
Others also saw it and were equally sad.
"These North Koreans are so pitiful. I really don't know how they live their lives."
"Oh, what we did back then is how they did it. All the officials in the world are so shady. If you ask me, the commander-in-chief shouldn't be so cautious and mobilize an army to kill all these beasts. Only then can we, the common people, be so cautious.
Have a good life."
The officer leading the team frowned and scolded: "It is not our turn to talk nonsense about important military matters."
He changed the subject and expressed his thoughts.
"We also brought a lot of clothes and shoes. I mean to put them on these North Koreans first. Only by ensuring their safety can our supplies be properly delivered."
No one else has an opinion on this point.
The next morning, when E Nan and others climbed out of the tent, they were all a little confused looking at the thick warm clothes in front of them.
"General, are these...all given to us?"
The leading officer looked around at these North Koreans who were about to cry and said in a deep voice: "The weather is too cold. If it keeps like this, you might all die. Put on your clothes and don't get frozen. Let's come here properly.
You should also go back well and don't worry your relatives at home."
A group of Koreans cried one after another. Under the guidance of the Xia army soldiers, they put on warm and thick clothes.
The biting cold wind was blocked outside, his hands and feet were well protected, and the bruised cheek no longer hurt unbearably.
All of this is impacting the hearts of these North Koreans. Maybe one day these eruptions will be more violent than volcanic earthquakes.
The team moved faster.
The originally planned three-day journey ended up arriving at the destination in just two and a half days.
The once deserted Nakdong River has now become a boiling construction site.
Countless Xia army soldiers were busy by the river and in the mountains.
The tall trees that once covered the hillside have now been cut down.
Tree trunks as thick as a human waist were tied together in groups of two or three, and then piled on the ground. There were four or five groups piled up, and the height reached a person's chest.
The ground is completely frozen in winter, making it impossible to dig fortifications.
The soldiers on the front line creatively thought of a way.
Use the trees cut down from the mountain to create artificial shelters. After stacking them on the ground, start watering them.
The water was frozen into ice, which firmly fixed the bunker made by the big tree. Even if it was bombarded with artillery, it would not be easy to break.
All the trees on the hillside facing the Nakdong River have been cut down, so that you can have a clear view from the top of the mountain without any blind spots.
If the enemy wants to cross the river from the opposite side, there is no way he can hide his tracks and he will definitely be discovered.
The front line was so busy, and the teams transporting supplies also shuttled between Busan and the Nakdong River, never stopping.
After the leading officer returned to Busan, he wrote a long report and sent it to Bai Xiaoqi.
"Master Shen, what do you think?"
Bai Xiaoqi handed the report to Shen Qiyuan with cautious eyes.
Shen Qi is no longer as arrogant as before, and his figure has become much weaker now. But looking at this report, it still seems natural.
"For the sake of the country, these people can only work a little harder, and they can understand it."
"They're dying!"
Bai Xiaoqi looked over.
"The country does not take the lives of its people seriously, but drives them arbitrarily and just sits and watches them die. How can we expect these people to fight to the death to defend the country?"
Shen Qiyuan was sweating coldly, and tried hard to argue: "Everyone is born with a destiny, and there are differences between high and low. These people do not know the way of loyalty and are ignorant. They can only make them work. What can be done?"
Hearing his cold-blooded words, Bai Xiaoqi couldn't help but sneered.
"Be kind to other things, but not be kind to people, and you cannot be benevolent. If you are not benevolent to other things, but only be kind to others, it is just like being benevolent. Those who are benevolent are also benevolent to their kind. Therefore, benevolent people can treat the people with ease.
, nothing is impossible.”
Shen Qiyuan was dumbfounded when he lifted his book bag.
He looked over in astonishment, never expecting that the martial artist who was supposed to be arrogant, domineering and illiterate in his eyes could actually have such high attainments in scripture and meaning.
As a great Confucian who claimed to be well-read in the classics, he was now taught a lesson based on the meaning of the classics. This had an unprecedented impact on Shen Qiyuan.
For a person like him, it doesn't matter what the reality is. Even if he sees it with his own eyes, he won't be touched at all. Instead, it is this kind of mental shock that turns him upside down and makes it difficult for him to return to normal.
Bai Xiaoqi was very satisfied with Shen Qiyuan's devastated look.
"You should go apologize to General Li Yuan."
Shen Qiyuan doesn't know if he can understand this sentence?
He sat like a dead tree for a long time, obviously entering a situation where heaven and man were at war.
I don’t know what Shen Qiyuan will look like when he comes out of it?
Bai Xiaoqi was looking forward to it but didn't really care.
The change of one person cannot affect the overall situation.
He also wrote a report on Korean labor and ordered it to be sent to Jeju Island.
Whether the Korean War can be fought well or not cannot be ignored.
