When Yang Er heard this, he was envious: "Old Jiang, you still have a relationship with him, he told you everything?" ”

"That's natural, he, I don't fight with your brother, and now I have a good relationship! That is, there are no restaurants or wine stores around our Rock Castle now, otherwise we don't know how much wine we drank together. Jiang Laosan boasted to himself: "Your brother and I were too heroic on the platform that day, and now they are willing to make friends with me." ”

In the second half of the sentence, Yang Er was noncommittal, but in the first half of the sentence, he resolutely did not believe it. To reluctantly say that Jiang Laosan and Dong Yiying are not fighting or not making a deal, it seems that there is some truth, and it can be said in front of them - it's just that Jiang Laosan has never been beaten.

"Speaking of restaurants...... Yang Er shook his head: "Our Rock Fort is so big, inside and outside the city, there is even a place to eat and drink, although the canteen eats well, but there is no wine!" A bird is fading out of its beak! Even if you give out a bounty, what can you do, and there is nowhere to spend it! As long as there is a wine shop, no matter how strong the wine is, it is not saliva at all. ”

As soon as this topic was mentioned, Jiang Laosan also nodded again and again. Others have given money and food to support their families or save up, but they are not such a person, these days, the wine worms in their stomachs will starve to death.

The two were talking happily, when suddenly Zheng Fakui, who was standing at the front, coughed lightly, and the two quickly shut up. After some things in Hutou Mountain, although they are not as respectful as Zheng Fakui, at least they don't do it with him, and the benevolence and righteousness shown by others, you are not too embarrassed, and you are said to be ignorant.

Outside the schoolyard, there was a sound of horses' hooves.

A team of people slowly came in, and the target was Dianjiangtai.

Riding a horse in the front, naturally Dong Ce, he was surrounded by seven or eight family members in the middle, today under the crotch is a majestic black horse, this black horse can hardly see a single miscellaneous hair on the whole body, obviously quite precious, this is also Dong Ce carefully selected - he usually rides a jujube red horse, but today is different. Not only is he riding a black horse, Dong Ce is also dressed in black all over his body, with black clothes, black pants, black boots, black hair, and even the hairpin on his head has been replaced with a black jade. His face is like a crown of jade, handsome and straight, dressed like this, not only did not weaken his demeanor at all, but added a bit of depression and sadness to him, and he looked more and more deep and dignified.

And around his waist, there is a white belt, which can be noticed at a glance, which is extremely conspicuous.

The knights around him were also dressed like this, but they couldn't find so many dark horses, so they still rode their own war horses.

Dong Ce's dozens of family members, except for the few people around him who were riding horses, the others were all on foot. It's just that they are not empty-handed, but in groups of four, surrounded by a carriage, a total of nine groups. On top of each set of carriages, a coffin was placed.

The coffin was painted black, with a white cloth wrapped around it, and when a gust of wind blew, it flew slightly.

In the procession of dozens of men, none of them spoke, and all the horses pulling the carts were bridle and covered to ensure that they could not make a sound. Everyone was grim-faced and slowly entered the school yard.

The big school field immediately quieted down. It's not the kind of simple soundlessness, but it seems that at this moment, the air is stagnant, and the atmosphere is extremely depressing, making people seem to be out of breath.

Everyone looked at this team quietly, and it was at this moment that many soldiers who were elated because of the upcoming reward found that there were fewer people in this team today, some of them died, and some of them were seriously injured. It's not that they're cold, it's just that the Rock Fort Army is also a few hundred people, and it's not a killer team that is basically not very familiar, as long as it's not in their own team or someone who has a good relationship with them, who cares about this?

Dong Ce rode his horse to the front of the point and walked up the stairs, while those family members laboriously carried down the coffin, and just put it in front of the point and the stage.

Standing on the stage, Dong Ce looked down at everyone, Shi Jin and Zhou Zhong stood at the front of the queue, and took the lead to bow to the ground: "Subordinates participate in the adults!" ”

"Subordinates, see your lord!"

Hundreds of soldiers fell to their knees in unison, shouting like a tsunami from a mountain.

Regarding the title, it is also an order handed down by Dong Ce after the war. He made it very clear that all the soldiers, when confronted with Shangguan, which included Dong Ce in the scope of Shangguan, all called themselves subordinates and addressed the other side as adults. Before adults, you can add your surname, and if you feel that it is difficult to distinguish, you can also add an official position. The previous titles of small, old and the like will be abolished. And the same is true of the family.

This also reflects Dong Ce's consistent thinking: You are my private army, but not my slaves.

"Soldiers, please get up."

Dong Ce raised his hands slightly.

"Master Xie." The crowd shouted again, and then they got up.

Today, this conference is a commendation meeting, which means to reward those who have performed well in the previous battle to encircle and suppress the horse thieves in Hutou Mountain. You are fighting desperately, and what reward does this official have? This official has always attached great importance to the word fairness. Mistakes should be punished, merit will be rewarded, and there will be no ambiguity! But before the reward, there is one more important thing to do! ”

Dong Ce's voice suddenly became high-pitched, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to his chest: "Soldiers, let's see, what color of clothes is the official wearing today, what color of the belt is it!" ”

The school field was solemn and silent.

Originally, it was customary for the dynasty to bury the deceased by wearing linen and filial piety, and wearing black clothes for burial was a custom imported from the West in later generations. But Dong Ce and the others were not relatives of the deceased, and at the same time they wanted to express the deep grief in their hearts, so they decided to wear black clothes and tie a white cloth belt.

These two colors are matched together, and the contrast is quite strong, and the feeling of a piece of black gathered together is quite oppressive. Even if it's the first time you've met, you can roughly tell what feelings you're trying to express. Not to mention, there are also those coffins placed in front of the point general, which are so impossible to ignore.

"What's more important than rewarding meritorious soldiers?" Dong Ce seemed to be asking everyone, but then he replied himself: "It's a tribute to the dead heroic spirits!" This is the number one priority! ”

"These people, these deceased! They are our robes, our brothers! When you are alive, you are dead, and you are still alive! ”

He suddenly strode off the stage, walked to the coffins, took a deep look, and said loudly: "Brothers, you fought and died for me, and I, Dong Ce, will definitely not treat you badly!" ”

He turned around and waved his hand at Dong Yongzhen, Dong Yongzhen understood, nodded, and rode out.

After a while, there was a group of people coming to the entrance of the school field, about 14 or 5 people, but looking at their appearance, they were all dressed as ordinary people, and they were basically women and young children. They are the families of these soldiers who died in battle. On the night the army returned, they received a letter, which was notified by Zhou Bo's family one by one. Today, it was also Uncle Zhou who summoned them to the school together.

For them, it was the first time they had entered the schoolyard, or rather, the first time they had been able to enter the city since the Rock Fort was all built. Seeing that there was a strict and neat military formation not far away, hundreds of pairs of eyes seemed to glance at them, and they were even more nervous, and they seemed to be unable to walk.

When they first got the news of their family's death in battle, they were naturally grief-stricken, but after a period of relief, their grief has weakened a lot, and they are very worried in their hearts, and they don't know what they are doing when they are suddenly called here. Zhou Bo took them on the side and walked all the way to the front of the point.

Seeing Dong Ce, Zhou Bo said to them: "This is Lord Dong. ”

In fact, there is no need for him to say that these people have basically seen Dong Ce, at least from a distance. But people like Dong Ce, even if they only see it from afar, they will not forget it. They hurriedly knelt down to greet them, Dong Ce hurriedly walked a few steps, helped them up one by one, and said in a loud voice: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite." ”

Picking everyone up, he sighed, pointed to the coffins, and said in a heavy voice: "It's this official, I'm sorry for you!" ”

Nine coffins are lined up, and in front of the coffins are placed spiritual seats. Even if they didn't know the words on the spiritual table, they immediately understood what was going on. Grief swelled up, many people were sad, and some were already weeping.

Dong Ce didn't say anything, just looked at them quietly, waited for them to cry for a while, released some emotions a little, and then said slowly: "Everyone, you are the survivors of the soldiers who died in the war, they fought for the Rock Castle, and the official will definitely not treat you badly!" When they are smiling, Jiuquan is. ”

He walked back to the general's platform and said in a loud voice: "From this day on, all the soldiers of the Panshi Fort Army who have been killed in battle, as long as it is found that they were killed in battle and not surrendered or otherwise, will be buried in the best coffins. In the north of Panshi Fort, under the north slope of Qingfeng Mountain, the Heroic Cemetery was established for burial. Regardless of the status of the people who died in the war, everyone erected a tombstone, set up a tombstone, recorded their life, and planted a tree in front of the grave. In the future, every season, the official will personally lead the civil and military officials to worship! Blood and food are abundant, and they will never be extinguished! ”

"Build a mourning hall in the fort to enshrine the tablets of all the soldiers who have lost the war, provide daily worship for the family, and provide future generations to admire and praise." "Those are for the brothers who didn't fight themselves, and the following ones are for the bereaved families." Dong Ce's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and the faces of the bereaved families of those who died in the war were confused and expectant, and he said in a deep voice: "If there is one person in the family who died in the war, ten taels of silver will be given, if there are two people, it will be twenty taels, three people will be thirty taels, and so on." In addition, if a soldier died in the war and has children under the age of fifteen, he will be given two stones of grain. ”
