Gu Sang glanced around the screen and noticed that Qin Vice General was currently in his own tent, with no one else around.
Her guess was correct!
Pei Changying really couldn't wait any longer!
With a great enemy at hand, if Gu Sang's private communication with General Qin was discovered, it would be a capital offense. No wonder the general's tone was unpleasant.
Gu Sang sighed and advised, "General Qin, I don't want to contact you at this moment either, but given the circumstances, are you still unwilling to join the Elder Princess?"
"I assume you're already aware of what happened in the Ministry of Works."
"That day at the Lingnan City Gate, when I made a bet with you, all my words have now come true. Pei Changying never admits his mistakes and only takes out his anger on his own people."
"The fate of the Minister of Works is right before your eyes. Do you still want to continue blindly serving a foolish emperor?"
At the mention of the Ministry of Works, Qin Vice General's eyes dimmed.
But then a flicker of struggle passed through them, gradually becoming resolute.
Qin Vice General snorted coldly, lowering his voice and speaking with icy intent: "If the Emperor truly becomes that foolish one day, I would resign from my position!"
"But I would never serve a female rebel!"
Just as expected!
Although the stubborn and persistent General Qin had his old-fashioned ways, Gu Sang couldn't help but admire him.
Because if General Qin were to switch allegiance to the Elder Princess, it would mean that he could truly accept a woman in power, and he would be wholeheartedly devoted and stubbornly persistent in his loyalty.
If Gu Sang could persuade him with just a few words, she would worry that others might easily sway him as well.
Gu Sang spoke slowly, and her next words left Qin Vice General completely stunned: "General Qin, that's harsh language. What do you mean by 'female rebel'?"
"What kind of rebel would establish compensation for casualties?"
"For every soldier's child, there's a spot for free education."
"And what kind of rebel would decree that if a soldier has no children, but a relative or neighbor is willing to support the soldier's parents for life, this educational opportunity can be transferred to them?"
"Not to mention the schools, family housing, and various benefits that ensure soldiers have no worries about their families..."
As she spoke, the shock on Qin Vice General's face grew.
In his entire life, what he cared about most were the brothers under his command!
The brothers who had gone through life and death with him!
Free schools?
Family housing!
Parents without worries!
Weren't these the kind of benefits only given to casualties in the future? They might even be considered on par or better!
"No, impossible..."
"How could a woman be so generous, spending so much money to appease the home front? The Emperor knows about these future benefits too, but even he hasn't..."
Gu Sang interrupted Qin Vice General's astonishment: "No matter how much I say, it's not as good as seeing it with your own eyes."
"In a while, news of these casualty benefits will spread in the plague-stricken city. By then, I believe General Qin will make a decision. The idea that women should be confined to the depths of the palace and home should change."
"If you still can't change your mind, in two days, I'll be filming a war scene. I can let you see with your own eyes what it means for a woman to be a hero."
"In our future, it is one female hero and heroine after another who have brought about change. They used their flesh and blood to forge a new Great Wall! Only by witnessing it firsthand can you and all the ancient people understand why the status of women in our future is equal to that of men!"
"After this live broadcast, millions upon millions of ancient women will awaken!"
"General Qin, you too. I'll be waiting for you to come find me."
Beep—
Gu Sang ended the call.
General Qin stood there, dumbfounded, lost in thought.
Equality isn't achieved just by talking about it, but by exchanging lives and blood, by fighting for it, seizing it, and winning opportunities and positions one after another!
And there were still two days before Gu Sang would go to the set to film.
This scene of warfare, with corpses strewn everywhere and women charging into battle, was about to shatter the mindset of ancient women, making them follow the Elder Princess into battle without hesitation!
