"Yes, the subordinates will prepare. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Zhou Rui hurriedly responded, he is an attendant officer, and he is also responsible for preparing for such a trip."

"The old shopkeeper lives in your house now?"

The old shopkeeper Zhou lived in Zhang's house for a while, the old man was more particular, and he didn't want to live in someone else's house to cause chaos when the New Year was approaching, although Zhang Han would not be crowded if he lived here for another hundred people, but the old man still moved out in the past few days.

"Yes......" Zhou Rui hurriedly agreed.

"You have to remember to respect the elderly." Zhang Han glanced at Zhou Rui, obviously remembering that Zhou Rui and his wife treated the old shopkeeper slowly, but in the final analysis, this matter is a family matter, and it is Zhou's wife's fault.

"My subordinates have already realized their mistakes, and I feel very ashamed." Zhou Rui blushed and said, "Please rest assured." ”

"Well," Zhang Han said: "After the beginning of spring, the old shopkeeper will preside over the stocking of ducks in several large seas in the grassland, and raising geese is also his old man's responsibility, Li Erjie will not leave after the spring, help the hands of the big cabinet on the grassland, and manage some chores on the Tunpu by the way, all in the name of the Military and Political Department, and give them the name of the deputy director, you must not only respect them, but also learn some experience, I know that you don't want to go out to lead the troops, you want to do some civilian things, which department will you go to in the future, what to do, you have to think clearly." ”

Zhang Han still has a care for his identity, unless it is really muddy and can't be wiped on the wall, otherwise with a little mention, he has the ability and experience, and he will be a trusted henchman when he is released. After being around for more than half a year, wooden people can also be emotional, the superior trusts, and the subordinates will be more loyal, which is the difference between inside and outside, as long as there is an opportunity, Zhang Han will give more tips and lessons to his subordinates.

Zhou Rui was happy in his heart, knowing that this was Zhang Han's reminder that he could develop in the future in the area of fish breeding and animal husbandry in the Military and Political Division, which would not conflict with the agricultural administration in the future, in fact, it could also be attributed to the Agricultural Administration, but because almost all the ducks and geese raised now were supplied to the army, they were still directly counted in the name of the Military and Political Division.

"Thank you, for a point." Zhou Rui's mouth couldn't close, and after bowing, he ran to arrange it.

When Zhang Han arrived at the gate, the carriages and horses were ready.

The weather is very cold, you can see that there are ruler-long ice cubes hanging under the eaves of the tall doors along the street, Zhang Han glanced at it, and somehow remembered that when he was a child in later generations, there would be more than a dozen children who had a holiday before the year, dismantled firecrackers and lit them everywhere, and when it was hot, he picked an ice cube and put it in his mouth to chew with a rattling sound, and the adults didn't care, and I didn't see any child who had a stomach cold or a cold......

"Wen Lan, are you riding a car or a horse?" Li Dongxue, the military and political secretary, stayed in Lizhuang and did not come, and the head of the marching department here was running the affairs of Tunzhuang outside, and Sun Jingting was in charge of the affairs of the military and political department for a while, when Zhang Han was in a daze, Sun Jingting rode over under the support of several people, and the horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone road with a layer of thin ice, making a crisp clicking sound.

Sun Jingting was wearing a very neat suit, no cloak, the hat was also an ordinary round felt hat, a cotton jacket made of green cloth, very similar to the shape of the military robe, the upper body was tightly bound, the cuffs were very short, the hem was split to facilitate horseback riding and walking, the lower body was wearing gray cotton pants, and a pair of black military boots on the feet.

Zhang Han said with a smile: "If you don't recognize you, you should be an officer." ”

Sun Jingting said: "It still feels comfortable to wear like this...... The wide robe and big sleeves are still worn when Yanju drinks and feasts. ”

"That's right." Zhang Han nodded and said, "I'm still riding a horse, on such an occasion, it's not respectful enough to ride in a car." ”

Sun Jingting nodded speechlessly, these things actually have a very mature process, everyone will follow the process and it will go smoothly and there will be no mistakes, but no matter what others do, he will preside over such a thing as a guest, and there will always be a heavy feeling in his heart, lingering.

Everyone began to walk outside the city, and the Military and Political Department built a martyr's shrine four or five miles south of Qingcheng, which was not far from the diagonal opposite of the military station outside the city.

The bones of the soldiers who died in the war on the grassland and are willing to stay here to worship are buried here, every year by the high-level to worship here, the names of the soldiers who died in the war will be engraved on the stone tablet, the ancestral hall enshrines the tablet of the gods, the incense is continuous at four o'clock a year, the cemetery is green grass, the environment is beautiful and picturesque.

In winter, the heavy snow has not melted, and when Zhang Han and others arrived, they only saw the majestic and spacious ancestral hall and tall stone monuments that had been built, and the other was the high Chai Mountain that had been erected.

There are more than a dozen stacks of firewood of the same size, and some officials of the military and political departments have prepared torches, all of which are soaked in oil, and a little fire will ignite a raging fire, burning people to ashes in an instant.

This is also the practice of the military department, there is no way to preserve the body on the battlefield, you can only choose to cremate and bring it back, even if the situation now allows, it is also done according to the convention, and there are family members who insist on taking the body back, and the military department is also trying to cooperate, but there are not many people who want to do this, after all, buried in the cemetery, by the four hours of continuous worship, this is much stronger than being buried in the cemetery at the head of their own village, and it will be reduced to a wild grave after a few generations.

The ancestral hall has a straight road all the way through, and it is arranged for people to sprinkle and sweep constantly, and use coarse salt to melt snow every day, so the road is very easy to walk, and it seems that it doesn't take much time from Zhang Han and others to see and arrive.

Now Zhang Han has adapted to the bitter cold weather outside the plug, and he only stomped his feet a few times when he dismounted.

Sun Jingting looked at the officials waiting with torches, and whispered to Zhang Han: "The weather is cold, be careful that it is not good to raise a fire for a while, that is not good, and the ceremony should be as soon as possible." ”

"I know......" Zhang Han nodded and said, "I won't speak long today." ”

"Hmm." Sun Jingting nodded, and went to arrange for everyone to make the final preparations.

A group of monks began to chant the sutras again, these are monks invited from the mainland, and Tantra is not the same school, in fact, Buddhism in the mainland has been sinicized, originally it is okay to invite lamas to do Buddhist things, but Zhang Han would rather spend more money to invite monks from Datong to come...... Shanxi was originally also an important place for Buddhism in the mainland, and there were many famous monasteries in many major mountains, and the people were more willing to invite monks or Taoist priests, and the acceptance of lamas was very low.

On both sides of the ancestral hall are some side rooms used for miscellaneous affairs, and several rooms are used to entertain the families of fallen soldiers who came north to pick up the remains.

When Zhang Han came over, these family members were also eating, and the big kitchen here was temporarily prepared, and the meal was a little late.

The meals are neither extravagant nor simple, one table for every four people, a bowl of steamed fish, a bowl of steamed duck, a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of green vegetables and tofu, after Zhang Han entered the door, he hurriedly pressed his hands and said: "We must hold a ceremony as soon as possible, everyone should not get up, continue to eat, and these polite things will delay the business, in front of the fallen soldiers, what is my identity!" ”

These words were very heartwarming, and many family members of military martyrs sat down again with chopsticks in their eyes with tears in their eyes.

"It's not a good journey, is it?"

Zhang Han called Zhao Shiwu over, as well as several high-ranking officials of the army, and temporarily questioned him in a small house on the side.

Zhao Shiwu said: "It has been decided to send Zhang Chunniu to take people there, he is very capable, and he should be able to send the bones and family back to Datong before the year." ”

Only then did Zhang Han see a tall black-faced young man behind Zhao Shiwu, he thought for a while and said, "You are Zhang Chunniu?" I remember you, who made meritorious contributions in the Thirteen Mountains War. ”

"Lord Xie's praise." Zhang Chunniu hurriedly gave a military salute, and then said: "That is also a good promotion by Li Pingzhi and Master Li." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Han said: "There are still a few days left, can you get there?" ”

"On the road from Qingcheng to Xinpingbao, my subordinates have walked back and forth nearly a hundred times at least." Zhang Chunniu said: "The first time I came back, I was still a warehouse guard in Banshengdi, and under the auspices of Chang Wei's political officer, we burned down the warehouse......

"Then you've really walked too much." Zhang Han said: "You did this, I really remember you this time." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but the family members were not far from outside, and they couldn't laugh out loud.

Zhang Han didn't smile himself, but he still looked at Zhang Chunniu seriously.

This time he really got the number, Yang Qiu and Wang Yong both mentioned this person in their reports, he acted carefully and meticulously, and he was bold, that is, he had the habits of a serious citizen and a businessman, he didn't want to endure hardships and didn't want to really risk his life to fight, and he tried to be transferred to the military system several times without success, but he did a good job in the army, and the soldiers were more embarrassed, and the officers who dared to fight were generally in the soldiers, and the pure civil servants were in the military system, and the soldiers needed officers who were meticulous and meticulous and could do things, and they also needed to be able to fight when they encountered the enemy. There are not many qualified senior officers under this standard, and Zhang Chunniu can be regarded as taking the right path.

"I followed the old road all the way over, although there is no road, but I have also walked many times in winter, I know where the snow is shallow and easy to drive, I know where to detour, from Qingcheng to Tiancheng Acropolis more than 500 miles, I took the team to walk about 120 miles a day, into the Great Wall can be faster, four days to be able to Tiancheng Acropolis, and then part ways to send family home, it is also a day or so away, the big deal is to arrive home on the first day, report to the adult, or to safety first, send people home for the New Year, of course it is good, However, safety will still be the first priority. ”

"That's a good point." Zhang Han glanced at the big black man with appreciation, turned his head to Zhao Shiwu and said, "Arrange it like this, so that I can rest assured......"

This is a very high-level compliment, and everyone looks at Zhang Chunniu with envy.

"There's a reluctant request from the job." Zhang Chunniu did not retreat at this time, but took a step forward and said to Zhang Han: "After a while, the military and political department will raise a fire to cremate the body, there is a pyre, and I want to do it myself." ”

"Is it a relative?"

"Well, it's Lu San, the second in office and the Lu family, and the current commander of the Fourth Infantry Regiment in Taiwan, Lu Dafu, who has a good relationship, and I have been to the Lu family many times, and I have a good relationship with Lu Da, Lu San, and Lu Si......"

"Oh, it's Lu San who died?"

Zhang Han sighed lightly, he really knows the brothers of the Lu family very well, Lu Da has now won a medal in Taiwan, Lu Si is a young sergeant major with great spirit, Lu Dafu is calm step by step, and his meritorious service has been rewarded to the point of commanding the barracks, and this Lu San is not famous, worse than his brothers, but he is also a military officer, holding a lot of money, I heard that he just married his daughter-in-law not long ago, and suddenly died in battle.
