Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 707 - 341: [Xin Qiji: 50 Cavalry vs. Tens of Thousands—The Advantage Is Ours]

As the video started, the scene slowly played out.

What came into view was a blood-red sunset, a golden-banner sweeping through, iron cavalry trampling over the golden wheat fields, a few thatched cottages burning in the distant village, black smoke rising straight into the sky.

The young Xin Qiji hid among the crowd, clenching his fists as he looked at the rampant cavalry in the distance.

The voices of adults discussing around him reached his ears.

They were talking about the 'court's southward migration,' saying that the north had already become the territory of the Jin people.

These words fell into Xin Qiji's ears.

He couldn't help but recall his parents' teachings, that the north had always been their land, so why did it suddenly become the Jin people's?

A rush of horse hooves came from afar.

The surrounding people fell silent, for the few burning thatched cottages in the distance were the calamity suffered by the people who resisted today's cavalry.

The Jin cavalry quickly passed by, not knowing what had provoked them.

They swung their whips, knocking down the already silent people, and at the same time, horses trampled many people.

It wasn't until the cavalry left that sounds of laughter came from the direction they had gone.

It turned out that no one had provoked them; they purely took abusing the people as entertainment...

Seeing this scene, the Blue Star netizens in the livestream weren't surprised.

This kind of situation had been seen too many times in the [Huaxia] historical series, and even in the [World War II] series.

In Huaxia's history of five thousand years, so many dynasties, and throughout the entire 'Earth.'

Only the Republic's army had taken a different path.

The rest were all much the same, ancient or modern, just about the same.

Fang Ming was also accustomed to scenes in those plots where NPCs abused civilians, but looking at Xin Qiji in the image, Fang Ming spoke:

"I remember Xin Qiji was a famous poet of the Southern Song."

"I didn't expect he grew up in the north as a child."

"By this time, the north had been occupied by the Jin, and Yue Fei was killed under 'trumped-up' charges."

"The Jin cavalry rampaged."

"It's really not easy for Xin Qiji not to have grown crooked in this environment."

Barrage comments from the livestream floated by, with viewers expressing confusion:

[Poet? Are you sure? What's so interesting about a poet... how did he rank so high in the screenshots?]

[Xin Qiji's life should also be full of ups and downs, right?]

[It should be, otherwise, with no dramatic life experience, how could he climb the ranks?]

[No way? I remember Xin Qiji was also a poet, and in the end, he seemed to have died a natural death.]

[That's right, I remember that too, and in the officialdom, he wasn't prominent. I played the [Southern Song] version; Xin Qiji in the court was only mentioned twice, a person with a rather low sense of presence.]

The livestream was discussing, and Fang Ming also thought for a moment before speaking:

"What I remember is that Xin Qiji was a poet of the unrestrained school."

"He was called the 'Dragon in Poetry.'

"It's precisely because of this title that I remember it so clearly. At the time, I wondered, could the ancients really come up with such titles?"

"Then...."

"I barely saw him in the court because I also played the [Southern Song] version, where Xin Qiji was only famous for his poetry and lyrics."

"I don't know about the rest."

Like the Blue Star viewers in the livestream, Fang Ming's impression of Xin Qiji also remained as a poet, and there wasn't much mention of Xin Qiji in the court of the [Southern Song] at that time.

Although he seemed to have been an official in the Southern Song, his presence seemed quite low.

The livestream's Blue Star netizens discussed while watching the [Movie Edition] scenes.

On screen.

Xin Qiji gradually grew up.

Xin Qiji's father died at the hands of the Jin shortly after he was born, and his mother passed away a month later due to grief; the young Xin Qiji was raised and taught by his grandfather Xin Zan.

Under his grandfather's guidance, Xin Qiji would often follow him to climb heights and gaze far, reminiscing about the rivers and mountains.

At the same time, Xin Qiji from a young age watched the Jin rampage and the Han people's struggle for survival.

This made Xin Qiji set his ambition from childhood to restore the Central Plains and avenge the humiliation.

Coupled with his grandfather Xin Zan's teachings.

At just 14 years old, Xin Qiji dared to risk himself.

Participating in the Jin Dynasty's imperial examinations.

Just to seize the opportunity to penetrate the Jin capital and investigate their reality.

To prepare for eventual resistance against the Jin.

Three years later.

Xin Qiji once again took part in the Jin's imperial exams, making friends.

Further collecting military and political intelligence of the Jin, while also gaining a lot of understanding about the Jin situation.

The scenes kept transitioning.

Most were about Xin Qiji collecting intelligence, practicing martial arts, and preparing to restore the rivers and mountains.

Gradually.

Growing into a young man, Xin Qiji had already honed advanced martial skills and talents, looking admirably valiant.

This surprised the Blue Star netizens in the livestream.

Because according to their impression.

This Xin Qiji shouldn't be just a poet?

But the current Xin Qiji appeared exactly like a young general, a child of a military family, with no relation to the word poet at all.

Yet the Blue Star netizens couldn't help but admire Xin Qiji.

They knew at 14, they were only focused on playing.

But at 14, Xin Qiji was already daring enough to risk himself, enter the Jin capital, collect intelligence as a child, and prepare to restore their territories. More importantly, he truly persevered.

Never slacking off for a moment.

Seeing this, the Blue Star netizens in the livestream felt that having such perseverance and determination, it's reasonable for Xin Qiji to climb up the ranks.

The scenes continued transitioning.

Soon.

[In the 31st year of Shaoxing]

Jin's ruler Wanyan Liang made a major southern invasion.

The Han people in the north rose up in rebellion one after another, Xin Qiji gathered more than 2,000 people, joined Geng Jing's uprising army, persuaded the monk Yitan to surrender, but later Yitan defected, Xin Qiji pursued and retrieved the seal.
