643 Righteousness and Wealth

Tubo is light on life and death, proud of the death in battle, the Tang Dynasty also attaches great importance to death, when cleaning up the remains of soldiers, everyone tries to be light-hearted, and now mainly confirm the identity of the war dead.

Every Tang soldier, when enlisted in the army, there is a detailed description, such as height, physical characteristics are recorded, each soldier also has an iron identity tag, before Zheng Peng's arrival, most of the corpses completed the identity confirmation, and a small number of failed to complete the confirmation, mainly because the identity card was lost or the face was destroyed.

If it is the same army, the identity is confirmed quickly, but some of the parts on the mountain are scattered soldiers, and the identity of the Yulin Army is also kept secret, so that the aftermath work is suspended, fortunately, in the five days of getting along, Zheng Peng has already remembered everyone in his heart, and it took about half an hour to complete the identification of all the fallen soldiers.

"Zheng Qiancai, fortunately, there are you, otherwise, these soldiers will not be able to settle even if they enter the ground." Sun Yingzheng, who was in charge of the aftermath, said with a grateful face.

If it is an ordinary soldier, then it can still be lazy, now it is the army of the Son of Heaven who has died, and the Western Regions attach great importance to it, Huang Yang personally explained that it should be dealt with properly, Sun Yingzheng did not dare to slack off, and personally came here to clean up, and when he encountered someone who could not confirm his identity, his head was big.

There are 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers who participated in the battle of Pangong Co., as well as the Yulin Army, to confirm their identities one by one, it may take a lot of information, and it takes a lot of time and energy.

"No thanks" Zheng Peng said a little heavily: "These brothers are all brothers who have had a lifelong friendship with me, and if you don't come to send them on their last journey, you won't be at ease for the rest of your life." ”

In the era of cold weapons, killing a thousand enemies and self-inflicted eight hundred, casualties are commonplace, the practice of treating fallen soldiers has different practices in different periods, don't look at Sun Yingzheng's dedication, that is to worry about the identity of the Yulin Army, if it is an ordinary soldier, it is better to be able to identify the identity, for those who can't confirm their identity, just arrange an identity and it's over.

Most of the practices against the dead are divided into two types: one is to find a place to bury them and put them into the ground; The second is to burn to ashes and send them home, where the leaves take root and the soul returns to the homeland. No matter which one it is, there will be a mistake at that time, and the families of the fallen soldiers will have no choice but to make a mistake.

Zheng Peng will definitely not let this happen to his brothers, especially these brothers who have had a fateful relationship.

Rolling down the mountain, without the clothes of the soldiers as a buffer, Zheng Peng was not dead but also seriously injured, and when Zheng Peng was selected to escape, no one objected, everyone covered for Zheng Peng, and Zheng Peng owed them from then on.

"Zheng Qianqi is really righteous." Sun Ying is giving a thumbs up.

Zheng Peng noticed that there was a carriage carrying a lot of firewood at the foot of the mountain, frowned, and asked, "Sun Yingzheng, I have a question I want to ask." ”

"Don't dare, Zheng Qianqi has something to do, just give orders."

"What are you going to do with the bodies of my fallen brothers?"

Sun Yingzheng said respectfully: "The soldiers who died in battle in Maofeng Mountain will be cremated into boxes on the spot, and then sent back to their homeland for burial through the post station. ”

Seeing that Zheng Peng's face was a little displeased, Sun Yingzheng added: "If the military rank is five or above, or has a special status, it will be sent home in a coffin, by the way, this is a list of people who need to be transported back with a coffin, Zheng Qianqi will see if there is anything that needs to be added." ”

After speaking, Sun Yingzheng handed a list with a white cover to Zheng Peng.

Zheng Peng didn't look at it, waved his hand and said: "Don't look at it, the soldiers who died on Maofeng Mountain can't be burned, and all of them will be transported back to their hometowns in coffins." ”

At this time, Zheng Peng knew that the place where he almost died was called Maofeng Mountain.

"This...."Sun Yingzheng was speechless all of a sudden, not knowing what to say.

Where is Zheng Peng's identity, the celebrity in front of the emperor is still the baby son-in-law of the Boling Cui family, and he is also good friends with important ministers in the court, plus he is young and promising, he is the most dazzling figure in the officialdom, Sun Yingzheng also wants to please Zheng Peng, but Zheng Peng's requirements are too high, even if Sun Yingzheng wants to sell his personal favor, he can't do it.

Let's not talk about those soldiers from all over the world, that is, assuming that all of them are sent back to Chang'an, a person rushes back to Chang'an from the Western Regions, and it is estimated that it will take a month to take a car, and the cost of the entanglement spent on the road alone is not a small amount, and the cost of transporting people back with coffins is higher, among the eighty-one people killed on Maofeng Mountain, those who are qualified to be transported back with coffins can be counted with the fingers of one hand.

Sun Yingzheng is just a small battalion in charge of logistics, and the authority in his hands is not high, even if he has the intention to please Zheng Peng, he is also powerless.

Cao Hua said with some embarrassment: "Zheng Qian's cavalry envoy, dealing with the matter of the fallen soldiers, the imperial court has clear regulations, and Sun Yingzheng can't exceed the rules, so don't embarrass him." ”

It's good to be able to transport the ashes back, it's impossible to transport them all back with coffins, even the overseer of the Western Regions, Yushi Yangji, doesn't have this power, you know, most of those ordinary government soldiers are looking for a place to bury them, even if they are finished, most of them give some pensions, even if they have a good family background, find a way to transport their relatives back, if the family is in difficulty, they can only sacrifice thousands of miles away.

Zheng Peng shook his head and said: "The two of you misunderstood, as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, these rules are still understood, I mean, can I pay for it, please ask Sun Yingzheng to find someone to find and confirm the identity of the soldiers in Maofeng Mountain, all of them are transported back to their hometowns in coffins, they left their hometowns before they died, and they can be buried back in place after death, so that their souls can rest in peace, and now the weather is getting colder, if the foot is faster, their families can also see their last face." ”

"What? Zheng Qianqi, you pay? This, this is not very in line with the rules, you must know that the cost is not small, roughly calculated, at least it will cost twenty or thirty thousand. Sun Yingzheng was taken aback and said with some surprise.

The coffins transported back to their hometowns must be good coffins, if the quality of the coffins is poor, they will be scattered halfway, and the best coffins are at least thirty or more per pair, not to mention anything else, the coffins alone will cost two or three thousand, and the cost of transporting the coffins is at least three times that of ordinary goods, and all the miscellaneous things add up, which is definitely a huge amount of money.

Zheng Peng said indifferently: "Money is not a problem, how much to spend, how much to report, by the way, not only the soldiers on Maofeng Mountain, but also the soldiers under my command... No, all the Yulin troops who died in this battle were transported back in coffins, of course, Sun Yingzheng couldn't be kept busy, as long as it was done properly, there would be heavy rewards afterwards. ”

Zheng Peng originally wanted to transport back the people who died in Maofeng Mountain, and then the brothers who died in the Tiger Battalion, when they thought of Li Xiancheng's bravery and righteousness, their hearts softened, and they decided to help him do something.

won 1.2 million guan in Chang'an, Zheng Peng brought 200,000 guan to the Western Regions, this money was intended to be used to encourage morale and subsidize the soldiers, the treatment of the Yulin army was too good, and he couldn't use it all the way, but he didn't expect this money to be used to send the brothers on the last journey.

While speaking, Zheng Peng said secretly in his heart: Brothers, I, Zheng Peng, said that no matter how many comes, how many times, no one will stay, even if you can't go back standing, you must also lie down and go back.

"No, no, no" Sun Yingzheng hurriedly waved his hand: "It is an honor to be able to do something for the fallen soldiers, it is an insult to say that the reward is an insult, Zheng Qianqi can rest assured, let it go, a certain must do this properly, it is ....."

Zheng Peng understood what he meant, took out an engraved seal and a ring from his sleeve and handed them to Sun Yingzheng: "This is a token of the Tonghui money cabinet, with these two tokens, you can go to any money cabinet to withdraw 200,000 yuan, take it for use first, and then ask me if it is not enough." ”

"Understood, Zheng Qian's horseman."

Seeing that Sun Yingzheng was taking the token, Cao Hua on the side knocked and said: "Sun Ying, this money is handed over to you, you must keep it and use it well. ”

200,000 yuan, such a huge amount of money, Zheng Peng said to give it, Cao Hua's eyes widened when he saw it, and he wanted to persuade him, but Zheng Peng handed it over to Sun Ying.

Sun Yingzheng hurriedly raised his right hand in the air, and said with a serious face: "The living don't rob the dead of money, Zheng Qianqi and Cao Yingzheng rest assured, although a certain is just a small battalion doing chores, but he is also from a famous family, a certain Sun Ying swore in the name of the Sun family in Qingzhou, greedy for a penny, cut off children and grandchildren, no money, and no place to bury him." ”

Zheng Peng hurriedly said: "Sun Yingzheng is serious, if you can't believe it, I won't give it to you, please." ”

Sun Yingzheng Lian said that he should, once again promise that he will not spend money indiscriminately, and will also establish a book to explain the whereabouts of the money.

Cao Hua looked at Zheng Peng, and suddenly sighed and said: "The army said that Zheng Qianqi treats his subordinates well, fights righteousness and squanders money, and when I see it today, it is really better to meet than to meet, so-and-so, take it, so let's do it, these eighty-one soldiers' clothes will be handed over to a certain person to buy, which can be regarded as a little bit of heart." ”

"I understand it, how can I make Cao Yingzheng break the bank." Zheng Peng hurriedly refused.

"If you don't accept it, you look down on someone." After a pause, Cao Hua continued: "Zheng Qian's cavalry envoy, I am not to please you, nor to make a show for people to see, but to witness the appearance of these soldiers when they were killed, and to be moved by their fearless sacrifice, please agree." ”

Zheng Peng saw that Cao Hua sincerely wanted to do something, hesitated, and finally nodded and said, "On behalf of my brothers who died in battle, thank you Cao Yingzheng for your generosity." ”

"You're welcome."

Seeing that Cao Hua said it, Sun Yingzheng thought about it and said: "After saying that he is unwilling to be good, Cao Yingzheng said it, and if he doesn't express it, he really can't say it, so let's ask the mage to spend more than the cost of doing things, and we have paid for it in Qingzhou Sun." ”

There is one more person who pays for it, Zheng Peng smiled, and said conclusively: "Okay, let the two of you break the bill, so let's decide, Sun Yingzheng, this matter is low-key, except for the two of you, don't accept the donations of others, so as not to turn sour." ”

Needless to say, these two people donated for their own face, but it was not easy to refuse, Zheng Peng had a good plan in his heart, and he would find an opportunity to cooperate with them or their family in the future and make up the money back.

Sun Yingzheng immediately said, "Understood, Zheng Qian's cavalry." ”
