Chapter 167: The Monument of the Warriors

When Zhang Dabiao's coffin was transported back to Shangjing, Han Ming stood up with his seriously injured body to greet the coffin in front of Shangjing.

He stood in front of Zhang Dabiao's coffin and was silent for a long time.

Although the eighteen soldiers of the Flame Battalion around him were all wounded, their eyes were resolute and they stood straight, like statues.

Han Ming stepped forward and picked up the Mo knife that was inserted in front of the coffin and stroked the blade gently. He seemed to be able to feel the mournful roar of the Mo Dao, and for the first time, Han Ming felt that weapons were also spiritual.

Lifting the Mo knife, Han Ming faced everyone and shouted sadly: "The strong man of the country, although he is still alive and dead, fortunately I am in Chu, and my soul will be blessed for ten thousand years." ”

"Fortunately, I am in Chu, and my soul will be blessed for ten thousand years!" the eighteen soldiers of the Flame Battalion immediately knelt down and shouted.

"Fortunately, I am in Chu, and my soul will be blessed for ten thousand years!" the surrounding generals also shouted together with these eighteen people

"Fortunately, I am in Chu, and my soul is blessed for ten thousand years!" Finally, the roar reached the city, and the onlookers also echoed.

Seeing that everyone's emotions were high, Han Ming put his hand on the coffin.

"Lift the coffin!"

He wants to personally help the spirit and send Zhang Dabiao on this last journey.

Eighteen Flame Battalion soldiers followed closely behind Han Ming and walked in the direction of the city defense camp.

Zhang Dabiao's body was finally buried in the cemetery of the city defense camp. As the highest-ranking general of the city defense battalion who died in this battle, he was buried at the front of the cemetery. Behind him was Han Ming's personal guard deputy captain, Goudan.

Han Ming stood in front of the mausoleum, looking at the endless tombstones, and his heart was already full of grief. These are all warriors who sacrificed for the country, and in the long river of time, their existence has written a strong stroke for Zhongchu, and they are the real heroes.

And heroes should not be forgotten by history.

Han Ming decided to erect a monument to all the soldiers who died bravely in the defense of Shangjing, to show their unparalleled perseverance and determination to die in the face of a formidable enemy.

Finally, Han Ming finalized the name of the stele: Guoshi Stele.

Guoshi: The bravest and most powerful person in a country. In the face of the so-called first iron cavalry on the mainland and an army several times larger than himself, the courage and courage shown by the soldiers of the city defense battalion are enough to be called the word national soldier.

Kuang Yue immediately agreed, and personally wrote the inscription, stamped the seal, and then posted the order to build the national monument.

When the people of Shangjing saw the notice, they petitioned one after another, saying that they would build the national monument free of charge.

In the end, Han Ming handed over the task of building the monument to Zhao Ming and urged him to step up his completion.

Zhao Ming also gladly accepted the order and organized the people to rush to work day and night to build the national monument.

After all, Han Ming was seriously injured, and after explaining the matter of the national monument, he fainted on the bed again.

This frightened Kuang Yue, and immediately put down the state affairs in his hand and drove to visit Han Ming.

Fortunately, the imperial doctors said that Han Ming was just too tired, and he was too sad, and he only needed to recuperate for a while to recover as before.

Kuang Yue, who learned the result, was relieved, and it happened that Ye Die also hurried back and accompanied Han Ming to take care of him, so she left with peace of mind.

Ye Die followed the army back to help, and his body slowly recovered. But all the way over, the worry in her heart has not stopped. For a while, Ye Die's eyelids kept jumping, and she was even more worried.

When she learned from Han Yu that Han Ming was seriously injured and worried about her life, she didn't care about her own safety, and went straight to Beijing all the way to Beijing.

When she saw Han Ming lying on the hospital bed and dying, she almost fainted with fright, but fortunately, the imperial doctor said that Han Ming was just too tired and over-grieved, and he only needed to calm down and recuperate, which made Ye Die's hanging heart relax.

After that, Han Ming's diet and daily life were handed over to Ye Die, and she also took care of Han Ming meticulously.

Every time Zhao Ming reported the battle situation to Han Ming, he couldn't help but envy Han Ming for having such a caring face by his side day and night.

Facing everyone's envious and jealous eyes, Han Ming just smiled every time. This is a blessing for oneself, and others cannot enjoy it.

However, among them, there is one person who is an exception, this person does not envy Han Ming, on the contrary, she envies Ye Die even more.

After Ye Die came back, Kuang Yue only came to visit Han Ming twice. You must know that in the three days that Ye Die had not returned, Kuang Yue had visited Han Ming five times.

There will be such a big contrast, mainly because Kuang Yue can't see Han Ming and Ye Die.

Every time she saw Ye Die taking care of Han Ming affectionately, she panicked in her heart.

I don't know what's going on, it's clear that I'm the emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and my status is noble, but I can't see that there are other members of the opposite sex next to Han Ming, and the relationship between the two is still so close.

She even wished that the person standing by Han Ming's bed was herself more than once. When the idea came out, she herself was taken aback and began to wonder if she had something wrong with her brain.

If before, she could still communicate her thoughts with the archpriest grandfather, but now it is different, she is the emperor, and this status requires that she can no longer be so willful, and those unrealistic ideas are even more unacceptable.

Although reason prevailed in the end, Kuang Yue was indeed jealous.

That's right, as the emperor, the first female emperor in the history of Zhongchu, she was jealous of a people's daughter. Kuang Yue herself felt a little funny, but when she saw Han Ming and Ye Die talking and laughing, she couldn't turn a blind eye.

Kuang Yue admitted that she can accept all rivers, but she can't tolerate another woman to share a love with her. But this love, she can only be buried in her heart.

Out of sight is pure, so after Kuang Yue saw Han Ming for the second time, she didn't come over anymore.

The ministers of the court who happened to move south heard that there was nothing to do in Beijing, so they drove back, and took this opportunity to devote themselves to government affairs and no longer be annoyed by love.

Moreover, although the Li army withdrew from Shangjing, the entire northern part of Central Chu, from Longguan to Henghe, was still firmly occupied by Zhou Quan, and the situation did not improve.

Although Han Ming couldn't personally command the battle, he kept an eye on the movements of the army.

After the forbidden cavalry army was destroyed, Zhou Cheng received information that Liu Zhixian returned south with an army of 100,000. There was no time to avenge the forbidden cavalry, in order to prevent being cut horizontally by Liu Zhixian, he made a quick decision and led the army to withdraw from the south of the Henghe River, and instead defended it according to the Henghe natural danger.

Liu Zhixian led the troops to arrive, but he was in vain, so he had to garrison the army south of the Henghe River and look across the river from Zhou Quan.

Zhou Cheng ordered people to strengthen the embankment, and on the other hand, he drove troops to inspect the surrounding counties and counties, and built the entire defense line of the army like an iron bucket, so that Liu Zhixian could only watch from a distance and had no idea where to start.

While Han Ming was recuperating from his injuries, people kept rushing back from outside.

And the first person to come to see him didn't expect Han Ming.

After Cui Ying was busy with the affairs of Jiangzhou City, she was about to go back to Beijing directly, but she happened to see her father Cui Zhan in Nanyang County, and learned that the Liguo Forbidden Cavalry Army was about to come to Beijing, so she had no choice but to stay in Nanyang.

Later, Han Ming led the city defense battalion to annihilate the forbidden cavalry, and Cui Ying rushed back to Beijing as soon as he got the news.

Cui Ying's arrival was something Han Ming didn't expect, the two of them knew each other at most, and they couldn't talk about friends, but Cui Ying was indeed unexpected by coming back so soon, you must know that his father Cui Xian was still staying in Nanyang County.

Of course, Han Ming would definitely not be naïve to think that Cui Ying was specifically coming back to see him. Thinking about it, she must have heard that the forbidden cavalry was going to fight in Shangjing, and she was worried about her industry in Shangjing.

However, Cui Ying's arrival did Han Ming a great favor.

After Han Ming knew about the battle situation in Yokogawa, he called Han Yu with his sick body, assigned him a task, and continued to recuperate.

Not long after, a group of well-dressed merchants set out from Shangjing and rushed to the eastern Hengshang area.
