The next day, early in the morning.
Zhang Xiu left the county government early and went to the military camp. By the time he arrived at the camp, the soldiers had assembled in the school yard. All the soldiers, with their helmets on, are in high spirits and orderly formation.
Zhang Xiu strode to the front of the army, big sleeve a brush, ordered: "start!"
At the command, the army set out.
Nearly ten thousand auxiliary soldiers and combat soldiers left the barracks and headed for the center of the city. Soldiers in the army walk in the street, attracting countless people to watch.
The whole scene is magnificent.
When Zhang Xiu led the army to the location of the stone tablet, the soldiers in the army lined up.
As for the people who came to watch, they all stood around. They made a few circles on the inner three floors and the outer three floors. Pang Degong, Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying also arrived early. Three people in a relatively close position, quietly watching.
Zhang Xiu strides out and is very beautiful.
He stood on the stage and looked around at everyone.
At this moment, the eyes of both the people and the soldiers gathered on Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu looked serious and said in a loud voice: "today, all the soldiers are gathered here for nothing else, just to mourn the soldiers who died in all previous wars."
"The soldiers' accusation is to defend the country. In every war, countless soldiers died. It seems that the death of a soldier is a matter of course. But Ben will think that each and every one of us should not forget these soldiers who paid silently. "
"Only because of their bravery and fearlessness of death can old people die."
"Because of their selfless dedication, the children can be raised."
"Because of them, we can enjoy peace."
"All this is the military's contribution."
"So we can't forget those who died or are still alive. This monument will be erected in the center of Yuyang county to commemorate the soldiers who died in battle. "
"May everyone be remembered by future generations."
"May the hero be immortal!"
Zhang Xiu said at the end, almost trying to roar. As soon as he reached out, he grabbed the red silk on the stone tablet and pulled it hard. In an instant, the silk fell, revealing a stone tablet nearly three feet high.
On the stone tablet, there are five big characters.
Monument to heroes!
The front and back sides of the stone tablet are symmetrical, and there are both front and back of these five words. The rest of the stele is engraved with the names of soldiers who died in the battle.
Pointing to the monument of heroes, Zhang Xiu once again exclaimed, "may heroes be immortal!"
"Heroes are immortal!"
Gan Ning, Huang Zhao and other generals are shouting.
With the shouts of Gan Ning and Huang Zhao, the soldiers in the army followed suit one after another and tried their best to roar.
Zhang Xiu set up a monument to the heroes, which had a great impact on both the people and the soldiers.
Because this is the first time.
Soldiers in the army, not respected, are humble beings. Both the soldiers themselves and their families feel that it is normal for them to die in battle. They don't feel that there is any problem.
But at present, the soldiers who died in the war are engraved on the stone tablet and worshipped by later generations.
Zhang Xiu was so grateful to the soldiers.
Many soldiers at this moment, tears in their eyes, excited inexplicable.
On the battlefield, soldiers are cannon fodder. They have to charge regardless of whether the front is a forest of guns and arrows, whether the front is a sea of swords and flames, or whether the front is an abyss.
With luck, it's good to survive.
Bad luck, you deserve to die!
No one remembers them!
In Yuyang County, Zhang Xiu set up a monument to the heroes and gave them respect. At the bottom of every soldier's heart, there was the idea that a soldier would die for a confidant.
Pledge allegiance to Zhang Xiu!
But with this heroic monument, it's worth dying for Zhang Xiu!
Zhang Xiu said something, and said: "since this year, every year on June 18, as long as this will be on one day, we will pay homage to the dead soldiers. Not for anything else, just to make the soldiers not forgotten, just to make people remember the military's efforts. "
"Boom!"
This remark caused a sensation.
The soldiers in the army are very excited.
Huang Chengyan looked in his eyes, his eyes narrowed, and there was a light in his eyes.
As the patriarch of the Huang family, although he has no official position, and does not involve official affairs, Huang Chengyan has a certain vision. After listening to Zhang Xiu's words, he said with emotion: "after this incident, no one can shake the army under Zhang Xiu's command."
Pang Degong stroked his beard under his jaw and said: "I have said that Zhang Xiu is not simple."
Huang Chengyan nodded.
Zhang Xiu stood on the stage and continued: "today, we honor the dead brave."
With that, he looked at Xu Shu.
Xu Shu then arranged for people to offer sacrifices such as the three sacrifices and said, "worship!"Zhang Xiu stood in front of the stone tablet and bowed.
All soldiers, follow.
With the command of Xu Shu, after three worships, Zhang Xiu ended the memorial ceremony. At this time, Zhang Xiu changed her words and said, "we can't forget the brave sons who died in the war, and we can't forget the living."
"In the army, meritorious service must be rewarded."
Zhang xiulang said: "in view of the brave fighting of the soldiers, we have decided to increase the salary of all the soldiers in the army for one month. Next month, you can get a double salary. "
"Good!"
In the crowd, the soldiers roared with excitement.
For soldiers, money is always the most practical and direct. What they got before was respect, but now they have the advantage of Zhang Xiu. They are very excited and shout loudly.
"General Zhang Wansheng!"
In the crowd, someone was shouting.
"General Zhang Wansheng!"
"General Zhang Wansheng!"
……
One by one soldiers, shouting.
Looking at this scene, Zhang Xiu, with a smile in her mouth, raised her hand and continued: "this will be able to have a foothold in Yuyang County, without the support of the people in Yuyang county. This will decide that from today on, people in Yuyang county will be exempted from corvee for one year. "
WOW!!
The people around are also excited.
For ordinary people, corvee and tax are two big mountains. When families are in trouble, corvee and tax are enough to crush their back and make a good family broken.
Zhang Xiu exempt from corvee, people can be much easier.
As a matter of fact, after Zhang Xiu arrived in Yuyang County, there was no corvee, because all the fortifications were carried out by means of work relief. After all, the foundation of Yuyang county was weak.
Around the people, excited like crazy shouting.
Huang Chengyan and Pang Degong looked at each other, and they both looked incredible.
Zhang Xiu's wisdom is close to the demon.
The use of a stone tablet, gathered the hearts of the army, so that soldiers follow wholeheartedly.
By reducing corvee, we can gather the people's support.
Such means are not complicated, but not everyone can do it.
Zhang Xiu and all the other people and soldiers, after calming down, continued: "in the past wars, countless warriors have emerged, and these people should be rewarded."
Many people in the army were excited when they heard this.
No one knows about the award.
Who will be rewarded?
What if I had my own?
Every soldier has expectations in his eyes and hopes to be rewarded.
