One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin looked curious and asked someone to call her over and said: "What is the girl's name? What is the girl doing here?"

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Qin Jing, the slave, has met the prince."

Li Xin became interested and said: "I am just wearing an ordinary general uniform. How do you know my identity?"

Qin Jing pointed at Zhao Ding and others and said: "Although the prince is wearing ordinary general uniforms, the people following him are not ordinary people."

Li Xin looked at the official uniforms of Zhao Ding and others and laughed loudly: "Interesting, the girl hasn't answered me yet. What are you doing here?"

Qin Jing replied: "In reply to the prince, the Nu family is a reporter from the Lin'an newspaper. This time, he was ordered by the president to serve as a reporter for the army. The Nu family was just collecting the deeds of the wounded soldiers. When the war is over, they can go back and pass The newspapers were circulated.”

Li Xin nodded and said: "So Miss Qin is a war correspondent, so where is Miss Qin from?"

Qin Jing smoothed her hair and said: "The Nu family is from Xinghan City. They graduated from the Xinghan Island Journalism College. They once worked at the Xinghan City Newspaper Office and were later transferred to the Lin'an City Newspaper Office. It seems that the Nujia can be regarded as employees of the prince. "

Li Xin smiled and said: "I didn't expect to meet people from Xinghan Island here. Xinghan Island can be regarded as my hometown, so we can be regarded as fellow villagers meeting fellow villagers."

Qin Jing chuckled and said: "Forget it, Your Majesty, the Nu family has to thank the Prince. The parents of the Nu family were originally refugees who were victims of the Fang La Uprising. Later, they were fortunate to be taken in by the Prince and went to Xinghan Island. The Nu family was born in My mother was born after she went to Xinghan Island. Because the prince implemented benevolent policies on Xinghan Island, our family's life became better, and the slave family was also lucky enough to enter school and later became a reporter."

Li Xin continued the conversation: "You were transferred to Lin'an, what about your family?"

Qin Jing replied: "The Nu family's brother got married in Xinghan Island, so the Nu family's parents stayed on Xinghan Island with his brother, but the Nu family's husband went to Lin'an with the Nu family. He is also a reporter. We We met when we worked together at Xinghancheng Newspaper."

Li Xin then asked: "Then your husband also came to Luzhou this time?"

Qin Jing shook her head and said: "No, my husband's literary talent is not as good as that of the Nu family, so the president didn't let him come. Of course, our president also knows that it is dangerous to be a war reporter, and even if the president agrees to let us go together, we husband and wife certainly can't Let’s go to the front line together, because our children also need someone to take care of them in Lin’an.”

Li Xin asked again: "Aren't you afraid of being a war reporter?"

Qin Jing replied: "Afraid, I must be afraid. To be honest, the Nu family did have concerns when they first received the mission, but when they think of the soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front line, their achievements are not known to people, and may even be mentioned in history books. If they would not be recorded, or were only mentioned briefly, the Nujia felt that as a reporter, the Nujia had the obligation to record their deeds, so the Nujia came, and after arriving, the Nujia realized that the Nujia had come to the right place, and they are the most deserving people."

The phrase "the most admirable person" reminded Li Xin of the famous article describing the Volunteer Army in his previous life. He didn't expect to hear this word again in this world. Come to think of it, it has never been lacking in the history of my Chinese clan. The heroes who resisted the invaders are the ones who have supported the five thousand years of history of our Chinese nation. Li Xin continued: "What do you and me know about these days?"

Qin Jing nodded and said: "Although the slave family has never been to the city in the past few days, just talking to these wounded soldiers has benefited the slave family a lot. It can be said that the slave family lived a stable life in Jiangnan before and had never been exposed to real war. Although I had heard about it before, my ears were deceptive and my eyes were convinced. What I saw with my own eyes was much crueler than what I heard. Only those slaves who have experienced the war understood how hard-earned it is for us to live a stable life in Jiangnan. Without these worthy soldiers on the front line to block the invaders for our people, the Nu family thinks that Jiangnan now would be another scene of devastation, and many of these soldiers are young people about the same age as the Nu family, and some Even better than the Nu family. Normally, at this age, they would have gotten married, had children, and lived a stable life. However, now they have given up on that and embarked on the battlefield of defending their home and country. For this reason, they are better than the Nu family. too much."

Li Xin asked: "Have Miss Qin ever asked them why they were willing to give up their stable lives and become soldiers?"

Qin Jing replied: "The Nu family asked that there are two types of people among the soldiers. One type is short of soldiers because they want to fight back to their hometown. In the south of the Yangtze River, there are many refugees who fled from the north to the south after the Jingkang disaster. Some of them Although people have settled down in the south of the Yangtze River, they still want to return to their hometown in the north. Another category is the local shortage of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. They come mainly for the military treatment. Since the prince came to power in the Song Dynasty, the military treatment has been greatly improved. As well as status, the soldiers were respected, which also led to an increase in civilian participation in the army. Of course, in addition to treatment and status, they also understood that if Jiangnan was captured, their good family members would be gone, so they also had to contribute to the country. determination."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Miss Qin, please do the interview well. If you have any needs, please contact me. Cao Biao, you send two people to follow Miss Qin to protect her safety in the city." Cao Biao is a distant relative of Cao Long and also He was a member of Li Xin's personal guard camp. Cao Long was unable to come to this personal expedition because he had to protect Li Xin's family, so he arranged for his own family member Cao Biao to come and protect Li Xin during his personal expedition.

Cao Biao cupped his fists and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

After inspecting the wounded barracks, on the way back, Li Xin said to Wang Shu: "Wang Shangshu, I have given you a task. Find a few men in the city who are good at singing. You can also find them from the army, and some of them are good at playing music." For example, qin, pipa, or guzheng can be used.”

Wang Shu was puzzled and said: "The war is urgent, what does the prince want these people to do?"

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "It's not what you think. I'm not here for enjoyment. Just come and find me. I'm of great use. You'll know when the time comes."

The general Wang Shu said doubtfully, "Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your order."

In fact, what Li Xin wanted to do was to set up a temporary band, teach them how to serve the country with loyalty, and have the band play in the army to boost the morale of the entire army.

After Wang Shu received the order, his work efficiency was still very high. In the afternoon, he found all the people. The singers were all recruited from the army. The leader was named Li Dong. It was difficult to find the music players, so they had to find geishas instead.

After everyone gathered together, Li Xin sang "Be loyal to the country" to them several times that night, so that they could explore the tune.
