[explanation]

The sentence "It's a pity that thousands of troops are struggling" profoundly shows Gong Zizhen's dissatisfaction with the lifeless social situation in the late Qing Dynasty, so he enthusiastically calls for social change, thinking that the bigger the change, the better, and it will be as big as the earth-shattering spring thunder. He also believes that the most important factor in implementing social change is talent, so he enthusiastically appeals: Heaven forbid! Please cheer up and give us all kinds of talents.
