Section 426 Blood oath in front of the monument

Although some people are timid, when Wei Xi declares that he is afraid, he can talk about it, and he does not need to go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and he will not be put into a separate book. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But no one said they wanted to quit, and the generals swore that they would never be a bad seed!

This is a serious military discussion, you can say anything in this door, and when you go out of this door, you will accept the military order.

Those who dare to take a step back, slash!

There are no problems with the generals, as for the officers and soldiers below......

Wei Xi pointed out that the march into Tibet is a supreme honor, and the officers and soldiers must not desert after going into battle.

"If you don't go, you can!"

"Those who don't go will all be retired from active duty and turned into civilians, and they will have nothing to do with the army!"

As a result, when the order was conveyed and mobilized, there were very few retreating personnel, but instead they asked for war and wrote bloody letters asking for entry into the front-line troops.

At that time, people paid attention to honor, if they were discharged, would they still be able to stand in the army in the future? Returning to your hometown without killing people's backs?

When a soldier eats food and fights, there may not be a good way out when he returns to his hometown, it is better to risk his life to fight, after all, the chief has already asked the imperial court and passed: in view of the difficulty of this attack, all the rewards are preferential, such as the material reward is doubled (Hubu Shangshu Guo has to cry), and the promotion is accelerated by half a time (that is, in the past, the military position needed to be cut off ten heads to be promoted to one level, but now only seven heads need to be cut to be promoted to one level).

Moreover, these officers and soldiers have no capital!

They are almost the strongest soldiers in the entire Tang Dynasty!

The rice and noodles of Tonghuang County raised them to be exceptionally strong, and Wei Xi, who was good at nutrition, raised his troops extremely well, and ate better than any army in the Tang Dynasty.

And their training is to deal with this war, and when they are using force, how can they retreat!

The officers and men conducted targeted training and decided that they were competent!

The morale of the troops was generally high, but after careful screening, 5,000 weaker soldiers were selected as second-line troops and not directly sent to the front line.

Even the weaker soldiers can now act as front-line soldiers.

……

The general manager arrives in Dafeichuan!

The chief manager summoned the officers of the army at the rank of captain and above to gather in front of the Dafeichuan Heroes Monument to pay respects!

When he left Dafeichuan, the monument had not yet been completed, and when he returned to Dafeichuan, the monument was already completed.

Together with the pedestal below, the monument to the heroes of Dafeichuan is 20 meters high, symbolizing the 200,000 imperial soldiers resting on this land, divided into two layers, and the monument is 10 meters high.

The stele carved from granite has a gilded character "Monument to the Heroes of the Tang Dynasty", which is the emperor's imperial pen.

The military band played a sad but powerful music, playing desolately, and Wei Xi personally laid a wreath at the monument, a ceremony that was later preserved, and he toasted and bowed with a group of high-ranking officers.

He has the highest status and does not have to kneel.

Li Jinxing went to inspect military affairs, he did not participate in this worship, in his words he will join the ranks of "them" in a few years, it does not matter if he worships less.

The people of the time worship ghosts and gods, and the ceremony is solemn and solemn, and there is no sloppiness.

"After the ceremony, take a break! Next, I would like to ask the general manager to speak! The celebrant shouted.

"Here, the souls of 200,000 loyal and brave soldiers of my Datang Dynasty are entrusted!" Wei Xi said in a loud voice, and everyone's eyes were focused on the towering monument, as if they saw a huge army emerging on it!

"My mood is proud and heavy!"

"I am proud and proud of the bravery of our soldiers, and I am also saddened that my Datang has lost the lives of 200,000 outstanding children!"

"200,000 people!"

"The population of an entire state, or even a few states, has lost their lives like this!"

"Although their sacrifice is worth it, it is for the peace of my Datang border, and for the people of Datang to be able to eat and live in peace, but! In their families, they are sons, husbands, and fathers, and their death has caused 200,000 families to suffer the severe pain of separation! ”

"The initiator of all this is Tubo!"

"I, Datang, don't want their land, it's cold and barren. And the Tibetans want to take our place, because our people are beautiful and our land is rich! ”

"In order to protect the family and defend the country, a full 200,000 outstanding children of the Tang Dynasty sacrificed their lives!"

As he spoke, there was silence on the field, only the wind blew the flag and the horn of hunting, and everyone looked intently at the young chief steward and listened to his teaching.

"I don't want to build another monument, I want to end the war with Tibet, so I will lead you on an expedition to defeat Tibet and occupy Luo, when the land of Tibet is included in the Tang Dynasty, the war in this land will subside and return to peace!"

With a smile on his face, he asked the officers, "What is the best enemy?" ”

"Dead enemy!" The officers shouted frantically.

"Yes!" Wei Xi also shouted: "Let's attack, conquer and destroy them!" ”

"Let's attack, conquer and destroy them!" The soldiers shouted, and the sound resounded in the sky!

"Swear in front of our martyrs that their blood will not be shed in vain!" Wei Xi shouted.

"We swear to you that we will never let your blood be shed in vain!" The officers drew their swords in unison and shouted in the air.

Not just talking, but carrying out the ritual of the time: all the people watched, and heaven and earth testified!

The senior officers were united by blood, and the sergeants presented trays with silver knives (sterilized, Wei Xi was afraid of death) and wine bowls, each general cut the skin and dripped the blood into the bowls, and then the sergeants poured the blood wine from the wine bowls into the wine sea (a large wine container), mixed it, and then distributed the blood wine back into the wine bowls and sent back to the generals.

Then the generals drank all the blood wine, smashed the bowl to the ground, and swore in unison: "Don't break the law, swear not to return the army!" If you break your oath, there is such a bowl! ”

……

After the blood oath, the march is made.

The chariots, the horses are Xiaoxiao, the iron horses are rolling, and the sword is pointing to the plateau.

The first mobilized troops were the 1st Mountain Infantry Division led by Cheng Boxi, with a total of 15,000 people, and the adjutant general was Shi Wanchao, and Wei Xi personally dispatched with the 1st Division.

The journey they will embark on is a few decades ago, when a young Tang Dynasty woman left Chang'an and walked through the mountains and mountains.

The woman of the Tang Dynasty in full costume was Princess Wencheng, and when she arrived at Luochi, the road behind her was destined to prosper from then on, and from then on merchants gathered, and from then on, swords and soldiers faced each other.

To undertake a piece of history, this road is the Tangbo Ancient Road, which can also be called the Qinghai-Tibet Line.

Behind the 1st Mountain Infantry Division, more troops followed their pace.

Even before all the troops, the engineers had already begun to build roads, roads leading to the Logos! (To be continued.) )
