Chapter 855: A Man's Dream of Protecting His Family (1)
"I asked everyone to come here today because of one thing. I want my disciples to act out an enemy attack on a city." Fang Chen's words startled everyone. They understood the meaning of every word, but when they put them together, they didn't quite understand.
"General, what does this mean? I don't quite understand." Old Ling looked at Fang Chen. He wondered if he was getting old and could no longer keep up with the thinking of young people.
"To be honest, I don't quite understand either! What does the enemy attacking the city mean?" Mr. Hu also looked confused.
Qu Jing glanced at Fang Chen, frowned and guessed, he understood a little. "Are you going to let us play the enemy?"
"Why should we deal with the enemy attacking us?" Mr. Hu was even more confused when he heard Qu Jing's words.
One's own people fighting one's own people? What does that mean?
"I think General Fang's intention is to have each of our families send out disciples pretending to be soldiers of other princes to attack. Your idea... is to let your new recruits experience the cruelty of the battlefield?" Chen Zihao probably guessed what Fang Chen meant, but he didn't quite understand the significance of doing this.
Chen Zihao never considered the common people. He thought Fang Chen just wanted to train the new recruits and let them know how to face the raid.
Yang Hua and the others did not speak. They believed in Fang Chen. Their eldest brother always had his reasons for doing things. They felt that this exercise was more like their eldest sister-in-law's idea.
After all, my eldest brother has always been rigorous and serious, and he doesn't tolerate any "fakeness".
"Wait for me to arrive." Fang Chen knew that they didn't quite understand. After letting them calm down, Fang Chen explained to them and expressed his thoughts.
After everyone heard Fang Chen's words, Chen Zihao was very confused.
"I understand what you mean by training new soldiers, but why do we need the people to participate as well?" Chen Zihao was really confused. "The people just need to know that we will protect them."
"This was my suggestion. I think they are also members of Heyang City, and this is where they live. They are more familiar with it than we are. They also have the responsibility and obligation to protect their homes. Defending the country has always been the responsibility of not only soldiers, but all men." Ji Xiaomu said seriously.
"And this kind of exercise also has a benefit, which is that it lets them know what they can do to protect their families if the enemy attacks, how to arrange for their families to escape, and even if they have the ability, how to fight the enemy as a way of self-protection." Ji Xiaomu explained to everyone.
"Mobilize all personnel and let them feel involved, instead of just waiting for rescue or dying, or not daring to fight back even though they have the ability to do so. For women and children, such drills can also help them know what to do and be mentally prepared earlier, instead of just screaming in panic."
Ji Xiaou's words made all the men present fall into deep thought. They had never thought about this issue before. They felt that defending the country was their responsibility and the people only needed to hide or conceal themselves, or just accept their fate.
"I think it's okay! Sister-in-law is right, defending the country is every man's responsibility." Lin Feng said, and was the first to stand up and express his support.
"I also think what my sister-in-law said makes sense. Knowing how to protect yourself in advance is also a kind of protection for them." Yang Hua also stood up.
"I support it too..." Once there was one, there were two. Tie Laosan, Xu Ziyang and others all stood up to support.
"Although I'm a little surprised, I think what the old lady said is right. I support it!" Qu Jing looked at Ji Xiaomu with appreciation.
