“…… The Motherland will eventually choose those who are loyal to the Motherland, and the Motherland will remember those who are dedicated to the Motherland. I will remember these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, and Datang will remember them even more. Their names will forever be engraved on the monument of the Tang Royal Military Academy, and the incense will not be extinguished! Li Shimin said loudly: "These people who sacrificed for the country, I and the imperial court will award them the title of martyrs." In the future, all those who sacrificed their lives for the country would be awarded the title of martyr, and the court would take care of their families, raise their children, and help them start a family. Datang, as well as me, and my descendants, will never forget these people who have contributed to the country! ”

After speaking, I saw that the honor guards with wooden boxes were walking forward and walked under the monument, which was towering and majestic, and on the front was written in large characters by Li Shimin himself: Monument to the Heroes and Martyrs of the Tang Dynasty. On the back: The soul of Datang is immortal!

The honor guard stood under the monument with the ashes of those martyrs, Li Shimin and those generals walked down from the platform in line, walked to the monument, faced the ashes of those martyrs, lit incense with his own hands, faced the monument, facing the ashes of those martyrs, and suddenly fell to one knee on the ground!

Everyone present was stunned, including Xia Hongsheng. The surrounding people couldn't suppress the uproar, and the soldiers standing in the square were also staring at each other, and immediately trembled with excitement, and even many people immediately burst into tears!

It was still those bigwigs who reacted quickly, and after being shocked, they immediately lifted their official robes and fell to the ground on one knee like Li Shimin. Only the sound of a nail leaf was heard, and all the people fell to the ground on one knee, and even the people around them fell to the ground with them.

Li Shimin knelt on one knee, holding incense in his hand, and said loudly: "The soul is back!" Soldier Son. It is full of Kyushu heroes; Bureaucrats and generals are all heroes from all over the world! Martial arts from Rong, loyal to the king's ambition. You may be hit by a stream of arrows, and your soul will cover the spring; Or be wounded by the sword, and return to the long night! Life is brave, death is famous, and now the triumphant return, the prisoner will be reached. Thou art and the heroic spirits are still there, and prayers must be heard: follow me to carry the flag. Chase my part, return to the Tang Dynasty together, recognize their hometown, be steamed by flesh and bones, and lead the sacrifice of their families; Don't be a ghost in a foreign land, but a soul in a foreign land. I am the Son of Heaven, and I should make you and other families all the grace and dew, and give you food and clothing every year. The moon is given to the Moon. Reward you with a reward to comfort your heart. As for the earth god of this realm. The dead ghosts in the north, blood and food are constant, and they are not far away; The living are mighty, and the dead are also kings. Let's talk about Dancheng. Worship and sacrifice. Woohoo, alas! Fu Wei is still feasting! ”

"Woohoo, alas! Fu Wei is still feasting! "It doesn't matter if it's the princes and ministers, or the soldiers present, or the people around them. They all shouted in unison with Li Shimin's voice.

Li Shimin got up and stepped forward and offered incense to the incense burner. Turning around at the generals, he shouted again: "Soldiers, sing the military song with me to comfort the loyal soul of the Tang Dynasty!" ”

The sound of the military band followed, and at the beginning of Li Shimin, everyone present had tears in their eyes and sang the Tang Dynasty military song loudly. In the sound of military songs, those honor guards turned around neatly, took a straight step, and put the ashes of those martyrs into the Tang Heroes and Martyrs Memorial Hall behind the monument.

After putting the ashes in the memorial hall, Li Shimin turned around and looked at the soldiers in the square. I saw another cadet pushing a chair with wooden wheels around the field, and then neatly formed a line in front of Li Shimin.

On top of those chairs were the wounded who had been badly wounded in the battle.

After stopping, the cadets of the cart picked up the wooden box in their hands again, held it upright on their chests, and stood at the side of each wounded.

Ma Zhou walked out at this moment, holding a piece of paper in his hand, and read aloud the names of these seriously injured soldiers: "Soldier Wang Dazhu, Soldier Tuesday Dog, Soldier Fan Yizhi, Soldier Zhao Tiezhu ......"

Names were read out loud from Ma Zhou's mouth, and the soldiers in wheelchairs were excited. They rushed back and forth in the battlefield, even though they watched their arms being cut off, they never had red eyes, but at this moment, they couldn't stop tears pouring out.

"The above gentlemen, fighting bravely in battle, fighting hard, interpreting the soul of the Tang Dynasty that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and they deserve to be an excellent Tang soldier!" Ma Zhou finished reading the list and continued: "Next, I invite His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to personally wear military medals for these soldiers!" ”

Li Shimin took a deep breath, walked solemnly, and walked up to the soldiers.

The soldiers trembled with excitement.

The person in front of him is none other than the emperor! It's the emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty was so close to him that he shook hands with him! And personally bring a military medal for yourself!

What a glory!

This...... It's dead, and it's worth it!

The soldiers struggled to their feet one by one, their heads held high, their eyes filled with loyalty and fanaticism.

"Datang's victory is inseparable from your efforts. I owe you a thank you. Li Shimin would say this every time he walked in front of a seriously wounded person, and then personally took the military merit medal from the hands of the cadets standing next to him, and then put it in front of the seriously wounded man with his own hands, and then handed them the written certificate along with the military merit medal.

"Your Majesty! Humble duty for His Majesty's loyalty, never give up! The soldier couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground, shouting loudly, and was helped up by Li Shimin himself.

Put the martyrs who died on the battlefield first, and then the seriously injured and disabled.

Next, there are those meritorious generals.

Li Jing, Li Tao, Chai Shao...... Zhang Gongjin, Su Dingfang...... Meritorious generals have been promoted to official positions and rewarded with money, and have also received military merit medals of different grades according to the difference in military merits. It was also worn by Li Shimin himself, and this honor also made these generals excited.

In addition, all soldiers who participated in this war to exterminate the Turks can all get a commemorative medal for the destruction of the Turks by the Tang Dynasty and wear it on their chests.

"The military merit medal is a symbol of the military merits of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also a symbol of the honor of the Tang soldiers, and it is related to the glory of the soldiers." After the military merit medal was awarded, Li Shimin said loudly: "Those who have military merit medals are those who have meritorious service to the Tang Dynasty, enjoy privileges, and have third-class merit or above...... If they violate the law, they must first be deprived of their military merit medals, and then handed over to the competent department for punishment......"

All those present, whether they were generals, soldiers, or civilians...... They were all excited and excited, and a wave of pride and self-confidence arose, for being a national of the Tang Dynasty and for being able to contribute to the country.

Only one person is very depressed in his heart.

Didn't you say that you made meritorious service, why didn't you hear the reward of this son? There is no heavenly reason! (To be continued.) )
