Chapter 192: Military Funeral
The scorching sun is in the sky, and the sound of cicadas chirping from the branches of the trees disturbs people's hearts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fei Yue'er frowned lightly, she has read history books since she was a child, and knows the humiliating history of continuous invasion by foreign races.
Not to mention whether she wants to marry into the Qi Palace, but Pan Yu's words to the King of Qi made her quite unhappy.
No matter how conscience a person has, he can't slander this Cangzhou victory, and slander the King of Qi who came to Cangzhou City to guard the city at this time.
She said lightly: "Cousin, please go back, what is the future of King Qi?" I was not too well, so I went back to rest, and I hoped that my cousin would spend more time on reading in the future, instead of wasting time here every day. ”
When Pan Yu heard this, her face turned a little pale, Fei Yue'er was driving people away, and asked him not to come again.
He said, "Cousin, you have to believe me, I'm here for your good." ”
With that, Pan Yu sighed and turned to leave.
Xiaohuan saw Pan Yu walking away, and muttered: "No matter how unbearable King Qi is, he is stronger than you, who doesn't know what you are drinking outside." ”
"Little Ring." Fei Yue'er's voice was fierce.
Xiaohuan is her personal maid, but after all, she is just a slave, if she lets others hear this, Xiaohuan will inevitably be punished.
Gently putting the newspaper in her hand back to its original place, Fei Yue'er shook her head lightly and walked back with Xiaohuan.
……
In Chang'an City, the sensation caused by newspapers had just begun, and the newspapers at this time were really hard to find, and the merchants from Qingzhou were surrounded by merchants, scholars, and officials.
"Don't rob, don't rob, don't rob." A Qingzhou businessman had a smile on his face.
He was originally an ordinary scholar in Qingzhou, and because his family was poor, he wanted to do some business to subsidize his family.
When the King of Qi returned victoriously, the whole Qingzhou fell into jubilation, and every household was lit up like a New Year.
And the next day, after the newspaper that published the Cangzhou Defensive War came out, the newspaper was even more robbed.
As soon as he thought about it, this battle of Cangzhou was not only a matter for the King of Qi, but also a matter for the Great Yu Kingdom, especially Chang'an, which he must be more concerned about.
So he borrowed a large sum of silver from a friend and bought a thousand newspapers to Chang'an City.
When he came to the most lively Qujiang Pond in Chang'an City, he was surrounded as soon as he shouted out the "Qingzhou Newspaper".
He was almost so frightened that he wanted to run away, but when he saw these people rushing over one by one with silver in their hands, he suddenly calmed down, thinking that it was worth it to be killed by the silver explosion.
However, this newspaper is so popular, he doesn't dare to sell it too expensive, after all, Qingzhou only costs three or four cents a newspaper, and finally he decided to pay one or two silver.
But even so, these thousands of newspapers were sold out in a blink of an eye, and some scholars even bought hundreds of copies directly.
The newspaper was sold out, and the scholar looked at the pile of white silver in front of him.
This is real money, he is now worried about silver for the first time, this thousand taels is not a silver ticket, just carry it on his body and leave.
These thousands of taels are calculated according to the catties promulgated by Qingzhou when they purchased grain this year, but one hundred catties, how can he move a person who has no power to restrain chickens, this is really a kind of happy pain.
But happier than Ginko, he suddenly felt respect that he had never felt before.
These scholars from Chang'an have always looked down on scholars from Qingzhou, and every year when they go to Beijing to take the exam, they are often scolded for such ugly words as Tian Shenu.
But at this time, these scholars around him were extremely envious in their eyes, and kept asking for more details about this Cangzhou victory.
This made him suddenly feel a sense of pride in his heart, the pride of being a prince of Qi.
For the first time, he began to wonder if he would continue to enter Beijing to catch the exam, and maybe staying in Qingzhou would be a good choice.
Even if you can't soar in officialdom in the future... And he looked at the silver on the ground, and it was not bad to make some money.
He was thinking about it when he suddenly saw a group of powerful children arguing passionately about something, looking like they were going to fight.
Listening carefully, he couldn't help laughing, it turned out that these powerful children were arguing about Xiao Ming when he was in Chang'an, who had the closest relationship with Xiao Ming, and looked very familiar with King Qi.
He shook his head, thinking to himself that if King Qi knew that there was a heated discussion about him everywhere in this Chang'an City, he didn't know what his mood would be.
However, in his opinion, I am afraid that the maverick King Qi will not care about what these people talk about him at all, maverick has always been the style of King Qi.
And as he thought, Xiao Ming didn't have time to care about Chang'an's reaction.
At this time, Qingzhou was enveloped in a slightly heavy atmosphere after a short period of celebration.
Unlike the scorching sun in Chang'an, it was drizzling in Qingzhou at this time.
If in the past, the people had already hid in their homes on such days, but today, the muddy streets of Qingzhou City are full of people.
In this Cangzhou victory, Cangzhou City was defended, the people's food was defended, the merchants' pockets were kept, and the stability of the six states was defended.
But behind the victory, how many soldiers lost their lives, how many parents lost their children.
Victory is worth celebrating, but the soldiers who won the victory and lost their lives must also be remembered forever.
So after a short rest, Xiao Ming decided to bury the soldiers who died in the battle in the specially designated martyrs' mausoleum, so that the people will always remember these martyrs who died in battle against the barbarians.
For this era, this move has never been done before, but Xiao Ming thinks it is necessary.
Because this is not only to pay tribute to the dead soldiers, but also to inspire every soldier's hatred of the barbarians, but also to let thousands of people understand that their death is glorious, their deserve to be remembered, and history should not forget those ordinary soldiers who shed their blood for the nation.
They are dead, but they still live in everyone's heart, and although the body is destroyed, the spirit lives on.
On the street, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, lined up in two neat lines, walked silently and slowly out of the city.
In the middle, the soldiers carried the bodies of the fallen soldiers with heavy steps.
On both sides, the families of the dead soldiers wept in grief, which moved the people who came to see them off.
Xiao Ming, Niu Ben, Lu Fei and Luo Xin walked at the front of the line, and at this time they were all wearing the armor of the Qingzhou Army and walking like ordinary soldiers.
They also carried the corpse of a Qingzhou Army soldier.
At this time, in the face of these fallen soldiers, there was no respect or inferiority between them, only comradeship.
The soldiers pursed their lips tightly, their eyes fixed on the four top generals walking in front, and a stream of blood flowed in their hearts.
Once upon a time, they ordinary soldiers could enjoy such honors, and they thought that even if they died on the battlefield, they would have no regrets.
And those young people who have not yet joined the army have a burning anger against the barbarians in their hearts, and many of them clench their fists.
Waiting for the army to recruit soldiers next time, they must join the army to avenge these dead soldiers.
