Chapter 71, Martyrs' Shrine

Taiwan Yuanshan Hotel is not only a major landmark in Taiwan, but also a high-end place for aristocratic banquets in the past, as well as a state-level guest house for harmonious relations, and a shadow of the island of Taiwan, recording countless glorious history.

There are two Grand Hotels in Taiwan, Taipei Yuanshan and Kaohsiung Yuanshan. Taipei Yuanshan was built in the 50s, and Kaohsiung Yuanshan was built in the late 60s. And Yi Yongheng and they came to the Yuanshan Hotel in Taipei, which is specially used to entertain foreign guests or something, which is the same nature as the Beidu Hotel.

At this time, Yi Yongheng and their arrival have already been greeted by the master of ceremonies, everyone is young and beautiful, and the people who watch it are itchy, especially Xiao Fang and their group, all of them have straight eyes, and Yi Yongheng really wants to find a crack in the ground to get into, and said to Minister Yang, "See you laugh, see you smile." ”

Who knew that Minister Yang said very meaningfully: "Is it the true character of a man?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Yongheng was speechless, just smiled and didn't say anything, only Chu Xiangjun on the side looked at a few people indifferently and didn't speak, everyone in the special squad seemed to feel this coldness, and they regained that serious look in an instant, and there was a unique temperament of a soldier on their bodies, and the people in the special service team of the Presidential Palace were afraid, no wonder, Wang Qiang and they were all born of blood and fire, where can they be compared, although they have changed a lot with Yi Yongheng's habits, but the unique temperament of the military will not change.

The whole hotel adopts Chinese-style palace architecture, the bucket arch is vertical, the colorful painted beams and the Danzhu cylinders shine each other, the carved dragon and the phoenix and the glazed gold tiles converge into a piece of gold and splendor, majestic, classical and magnificent, with a special antique atmosphere, majestic and magnificent momentum.

"Classical and extravagant, traditional Chinese style. Walking into the hotel, Yi Yongheng said slightly.

The general manager of the hotel came out to greet them in person, and introduced them to Yi Yongheng, even Chu Xiangjun felt a little amazing, she had been to all over the world, but she had never been to Taiwan.

The interior decoration of the whole hotel is Ming-style mahogany furniture, and the decorations are all with traditional Chinese artistic colors, which is extremely ingenious. In particular, the paintings and reliefs hanging all over the halls, such as the Tang Dynasty Snow Mountain, the Dongtian Mountain Hall, the Qingming River, and the Zhou Gongxing Rite Relief, etc., are all from the famous handwriting in the past.

"It has hosted President Clinton of the United States, the former Prime Minister of Singapore, the King of Jordan, the King of Qin, the former President of South Korea, the former President of Vietnam Nguyen Van Thieu, the King of Saudi Arabia, and the President of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS) who have also stayed here. "Before I came, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already greeted the Yuanshan Hotel, and now such polite words were also expected by Yi Yongheng, most of the people who could come here were extremely popular ministers, at the top of the pyramid, there was no big source, and there was no big come, so it was not entertained here.

"Mr. Yi, go upstairs, we have prepared a banquet for you. Minister Yang said that the special team has been hungry for a long time, and they haven't eaten a good meal after coming out for so long.

But Yi Yongheng dispelled everyone's desire to have a full meal: "I remember that the Yuanshan Hotel seems to have a famous attraction. ”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, there is indeed a scenic spot near the Yuanshan Hotel, but this scenic spot is a forbidden place for mainland tourists, even if cross-strait relations improve, there are very few mainland tourists will come to this scenic spot to visit, because before coming, they will warn about precautions or something, and no one will take the initiative to visit here.

So Yi Yongheng put it forward, it made everyone feel a little embarrassed, seeing some cold atmosphere, Yi Yongheng smiled and said: "I am to pay tribute to the martyrs, no matter what happened to them, but I know one thing, they did things that were meritorious to the Chinese nation during their lifetime, Zheng Chenggong subdued Taiwan, such a national hero should be remembered by every Chinese, in the War of Resistance Against Japan, how many men threw their heads and spilled blood, my descendants should burn incense and worship." ”

"Mr. Yi is right, every national hero should be commemorate, and I believe that the people's heroes monument in the northern capital is also the same as you and me, all compatriots, who have made contributions to the nation. Minister Yang said, the atmosphere became harmonious, everyone look at me, I look at you, and there is a smile on your face.

The Martyrs' Shrine is located next to the Yuanshan Hotel, with the green mountains in its back and facing the Keelung River. It covers a vast area, and the main building type imitates the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is majestic and magnificent.

The green grassland of more than 10,000 square meters around the Martyrs' Shrine creates a quiet and solemn atmosphere in the arch guard of the mountains, and highlights the solemnity of the building. The shrine enshrines the revolutionary martyrs before the founding of the Republic of China and the martyrs who died in the War of Resistance Against Japan.

Every Qingming Festival, many people will come to worship, the Yuanshan Martyrs' Shrine on weekdays is very quiet, and there are not many mainland tourists to visit, perhaps because of the different evaluations of certain historical events on both sides of the strait.

It enshrines the heroic spirits from the Xinhai Revolution, to the Eastern Crusade, the Crusade against Yuan, the Protector of the Law, the Northern Expedition and the War of Resistance Against Japan.

In recent years, the evaluation of the two sides of the strait is basically close, and there are not many differences, Zhang Zizhong, Zhao Dengyu, Tong Linge and others have also been designated as anti-Japanese martyrs on the mainland, and they are admired by 10,000 people.

"The evolution of history, how many heroes and how many things have been buried, and all these are waiting for the descendants to correct their names, there is no real historical country and nation, how can the soul of the nation, the martyrs, rest in peace!" Everyone was on the side, Yi Yongheng lit incense, at this moment, there is no so-called separation between the two sides of the strait, only the gratitude of the Chinese to their ancestors, the sacrifice to their ancestors.

He slowly knelt down on the **, kowtowed quietly, and a gust of wind for no reason rolled up the incense, as if the ancestors were looking at this descendant from the other side of the strait, from the place where they once sprinkled blood.

At this moment, Yi Yongheng seemed to feel that they were not afraid of death back then, for the sake of the nation and future generations, they went to block the gun holes and bomb the bunkers..........

At that moment, how could they have thought that they would never wake up once they were gone, at that moment, they had no so-called differences, because they knew that this was their home, and they would not allow any invaders to ravage this holy place, the place where they lived, even if the blood was spilled, they still fought hard, that heart-wrenching scene made Yi Yongheng's heart sour, regretful, and even more angry, how many heroic souls and how many Chinese sons were buried forever in that war.

Every name on the tablet is worthy of our descendants to pay homage and worship, isn't this the soul of our Chinese nation?

After a long kowtow to the ground, if there is another war between the two sides of the strait, will the descendants be worthy of the heroic souls who died in the Great Patriotic War?

When Yi Yongheng got up slowly: "Ancestors, rest in peace, we will not live up to your expectations, we will uphold your will, carry forward the soul of the Chinese nation forever, we will not let history play out, and repeat the mistakes of the past!!"

"There was blood, but now there is no name, loyal martyrs offer dry bones, and the will lives on. Walking out of the door, Yi Yongheng said casually, this is not a poem from the ancients, just a sentence of his emotion, Chu Xiangjun on the side had just finished burning incense, and when he came out, he heard Yi Yongheng say this.

"I really sweated for you just now, neither of us should come to this place, even if you want to come, you should ........." Chu Xiangjun's tone didn't blame, just reminded, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yi Yongheng.

"Sneaky?" Yi Yongheng had some sarcasm on his face: "I'm here to pay tribute to the heroic spirit, not to steal chickens and dogs, upright, why do you need to be so hypocritical to do that, I naturally have a bottom in my heart, I only do it for their merits, not for exaggeration." ”

Hearing this, Chu Xiangjun shook his head a little helplessly, his temper couldn't be changed: "If he didn't have this temperament, maybe he wouldn't be where he is now." ”

After everyone finished worshipping, they returned to the restaurant, and by this time everyone's stomachs were already rumbling with hunger.

Minister Yang has a good impression of Yi Yongheng, because he was the first to come to Taipei to worship the Martyrs' Shrine, as Yi Yongheng himself said, the heroic soul in it, has made meritorious contributions to the nation, regardless of its faults, such a young man who faces history squarely and is upright, has left a deep impression in his heart, although he is a politician, but also a flesh-and-blood Chinese, right and wrong, naturally see clearly, Yi Yongheng does not have a little pretentious heart, just the purest descendants to pay tribute to the ancestors.

This glass of wine washes the dust for Mr. Yi. Minister Yang raised his glass first, everyone raised their glasses, drank a cup, Yi Yongheng ate the dish unceremoniously, he doesn't care what big scene you have, you have to eat when you are hungry, especially the special team, all of them are unceremonious, and they don't care about the image at all.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten such spicy Hunan cuisine, and I can't imagine that Taiwan can make such authentic Hunan cuisine. Yi Yongheng raised his head and saw that everyone was looking at them, Chu Xiangjun couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and said in his heart This soil bun, eating on this occasion is a politeness, how can he really treat it as his own home.

Or Minister Yang can speak, and he made a round: "People say that the people of Xiangnan are the northeasterners of the south, and they are in love with each other, and they are never hypocritical, and now I have a deep understanding of Mr. Yi, this table of banquet was ordered by the president himself for Mr. Yi, can Mr. Yi be satisfied?"

"Well, well, good, delicious, what, those things I ate in Japan the other day are not eaten by people at all, what kind of food, I still have this spicy dish, it seems that Mr. President is really a temperamental. Even if he saw everyone looking at him dumbfounded, he still didn't care, he didn't pay attention to the rules, and he acted willfully, which was the style of the Shonan people, and the mother-in-law and mother-in-law made people feel unappetizing.

"Hehe, Mr. President and Mr. Yi are fellow villagers, so I specially prepared Hunan cuisine for Mr. Yi. Minister Yang said with a smile.

"Hmm. Hearing this, Yi Yongheng was stunned for a moment, but smiled for a moment and said, "It seems that I am really going to visit my fellow countryman." ”

"Come on, come on, don't talk about business at the wine table, eat and drink well. Everyone raised their glasses again, Yi Yongheng's face was drunk and red, and Wang Qiang helped him to the room.

"Brother Qiang, you go and rest, I'll take care of him. Yi Yongheng fell asleep, Wang Qiang was about to take off Yi Yongheng's clothes, but Chu Xiangjun stopped him.

Hearing this, Wang Qiang was stunned, smiled meaningfully, and said, "Then I'll go." ”

Chu Xiangjun nodded, and after Wang Qiang left, he closed them all up, and then Chu Xiangjun said to Yi Yongheng, who was like a dead pig on the bed: "Get up, don't pretend to be drunk, and don't be idle." ”

Who knew that Yi Yongheng, who was still drunk like a puddle of mud just now, immediately got up, burped and smiled evilly: "Well, under the light, the beauty is still in the background, dare to ask if you can talk about life?"

"Huh. Chu Xiangjun changed his normal behavior: "If you don't want to become a eunuch, let's talk about it." ”

Hearing this, Yi Yongheng looked disappointed, in fact, he knew that Chu Xiangjun stayed in his room for official business, otherwise this cold beauty would not be alone in the room with him................
