Pinduoduo connects the past and present; the wildest young commander and his entire army help me bar

Qin Lizhi glanced over and said, "If we don't release him, who will inform the Taoyuan County government?"

"Huh?" Zhang's mouth gaped open wide enough to fit an egg.

Realizing the situation immediately, he quickly shut his mouth as tightly as a clam shell.

He gave a wink, and the men escorting Qin Xiangwen immediately released his wrists.

Qin Xiangwen was still struggling in his death throes.

He was about to continue his persuasion when Qin Lizhi gave him a look, and the dark barrel of a gun made intimate contact with him again. Zhang, the adjutant, glared at him with cold eyes, as if he were looking at some inanimate object.

He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

His legs moved faster than his brain; he took off running as fast as he could.

Lieutenant Zhang smiled with narrowed eyes, "I thought he was some promising man, but I didn't expect him to be such a coward!"

Having fought his way up from the battlefield, he had seen plenty of cowards as well as men of principle.

However, relatively speaking, there are still more cowards than people with backbone in this world.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Zhang, the adjutant, frowned and asked instinctively, "Young Marshal, should we still repair this irrigation canal?"

With that, almost all eyes turned to Qin Lizhi.

For the people, the sooner the irrigation canal is completed, the sooner they can get through this great famine.

This ordeal was truly epic; many people watched as their loved ones and friends starved to death.

Those who survived felt no hope whatsoever. War, famine, and government oppression weighed heavily on them like countless mountains, and they could not reverse the decline even by their own strength until death.

Therefore, the gazes they cast upon Qin Lizhi were filled with expectation.

Faced with those eager eyes, Qin Lizhi's answer was like a shot of adrenaline for everyone.

"build!"

A single word, spoken with resounding force, instantly evoked a reaction from everyone.

The people cheered, their eyes shining.

Amidst cheers, Deputy Zhang raised his question: "If the Taoyuan County government continues to interfere, I'm afraid you, Young Marshal, will only be doing more harm than good."

"So what? If they were truly capable, large numbers of people wouldn't have starved to death. If they dared to raise objections, are you implying that the gun in your hand is just for show?"

With just one sentence, Zhang the adjutant saw the light at the end of the tunnel and beamed with joy.

A roguish air instantly spread from him. "Brilliant! The young marshal is right. Our Jin San Brigade isn't going to be trifled with. If they raise any objections, then let them taste what bullets are like!"

Zhang's previously depressed mood suddenly brightened, and he turned around to order, "Quickly take these people away. Out of sight, out of mind. We can't let them spoil everyone's work!"

"Yes!"

His men escorted the government officials away.

Qin Lizhi clapped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, keep working. Don't let these things affect you. I, Qin Lizhi, will take care of things that the Taoyuan County Government doesn't handle."

At that moment, someone mustered up the courage to ask, "Young Marshal Qin, if the government people come to cause trouble, you won't just leave Taoyuan County, will you? Please! The lives of the people of Taoyuan County are all in your hands!"

As he spoke, tears welled in his eyes, and he knelt down in the mud with a thud.

This triggered a chain reaction. Countless people reacted and knelt on the ground, looking up at the tall and imposing figure as if they were looking up at a god who had saved them from their suffering.

"Young Marshal Qin, please have pity on the people of Taoyuan County! We can't live without you. If you leave, so many of our lives will just be left to die!"

Kneeling on the ground, each pair of eyes revealed a yearning for life. This scene was like strong acid surging into my heart, instantly surging up from my tailbone.

"Everyone, get up quickly."

Qin Lizhi personally helped the old man who had knelt down first to his feet. "Old man, get up quickly. Aren't you shortening my lifespan by doing this?"

The old man refused to get up, stubbornly kneeling on the ground, and said, "Young Marshal, we all just want peace of mind. Why don't you make a guarantee in front of everyone? We're not forcing you, we're just really unsure!"

Qin Lizhi wasn't angry, but Zhang, the adjutant standing to the side, was.

"What are you doing? Who is our young marshal? He's the one who beat the Japanese pirates so badly they ran away in a panic. A man like him is a man of his word; nothing he says goes wrong!"

Qin Lizhi followed suit, saying, "Since everyone has this concern, I will make a guarantee in front of everyone."

"Until the famine in Henan is resolved, the food problem is resolved, and the water problem is resolved, I, Qin Lizhi, and the Jinsan Brigade under my command will absolutely not leave Henan."

"We, the Jinsan Brigade, will only leave Henan when the famine, food, and water problems are resolved."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

A moment later, a cheer resounded through the sky.

"Great! Now that the young marshal has given us his guarantee, what are we waiting for? Let's get to work!"

"If government departments interfere, it will delay our progress!"

"Yes, yes, everyone, let's work harder and try to solve the famine problem as soon as possible."

……

In the blink of an eye, the team repairing the irrigation canal was busy working again.

Qin Lizhi carefully instructed from the side, "Lieutenant Zhang, send someone to keep a close eye on this area. I suspect someone might be trying to sabotage us."

His tone was deep and resonant, giving the listener a sense of sharpness.

Lieutenant Zhang was startled and immediately tensed up.

"Yes, young marshal, don't worry, I will definitely have my men increase patrols."

Qin Lizhi left.

However, Wang Zhenwu, who was mingling among the team, clenched the iron rod in his hand.

"See, see, I knew we weren't the only ones watching Qin Lizhi. Now he's offended the Taoyuan County government. There's bound to be a good show to come."

Someone asked, "So what do we do next?"

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The fact that the county government is causing trouble is a great thing for us."

"Captain, what do you plan to do?"

Wang Zhenwu smiled and said, "Of course, I'm just adding fuel to the fire."

“We’ll just watch from the sidelines and add fuel to the fire when the time is right. Damn it, I can’t stand this hardship anymore. Where is it better than Shanxi? I’m looking forward to taking Qin Lizhi’s head and going back to report as soon as possible.”

Mentioning this, others also complained bitterly.

Just then, someone reported some news to Zhang, the adjutant.

That is, near the garrison of their Jinsan Brigade, an entire village was wiped out!
