Chapter 501: Daqing
The first to be held was the grand celebration and reward in the army.
The victory of a battle is never just the credit of the commanders and generals, but the result of the joint efforts of the top and bottom.
What are the soldiers fighting for in the battlefield and fighting to kill the enemy?
Defending your home and defending the country, of course, many people will say so, but if you have no food to eat and can't support your family, who will serve you as a soldier? The ideals of the empty world cannot withstand the harsh reality.
No matter what kind of army it is, it is ruthless, brave, cunning, steady as a mountain, or flexible as water...... No matter what kind of unique temperament they have, there is one thing they have in common, that is, if they win, they will have their glory and reward.
The celebration of their achievements is a recognition of their bloody struggle and heroic combat.
The reward is that they can go home with their heads held high and face their parents, fellow villagers, wives and children. Even if he once shrouded himself in horse leather, he did not worry that his wife and children had no food to eat and no clothes to wear. Isn't that what you work so hard for?
Therefore, registering military merits, dividing the spoils, and celebrating the merits are the most important things in the army after the great victory.
And after the Daqing in the army, it was not the turn of the Zhenbei Palace, and there were celebrations in the whole city. The army was victorious, and of course they had to share their glory and joy with the fathers and villagers of the city.
The army needs people's affirmation and support for them.
The people also rejoiced in such a happy event, and the lively scene could dilute the anxiety brought by the war, and the fear of death could be overcome with honor.
Therefore, after the big victory, such a celebration of military-civilian interaction is generally arranged, which is inspiring.
On this day, it was the day when the army returned, and the entire Zhenbei City was boiling.
The streets were crowded with people, and there were heads everywhere. Men and women, young and old, all walked out of their homes to warmly welcome the return of the heroes.
Li Mo quietly went out of the city at night, and then returned with the army during the day, after all, whether as the commander of the army or the key figure in the decisive victory of this battle, it is his duty to play.
Although the official welcome ceremony began at the city gate, the people of Zhenbei City, who had a crazy respect for the warriors, never lacked enthusiasm, and many impatient young people could not even wait for the arrival of the army, so they called friends and went out of the city in groups for ten miles to welcome the return of the warriors.
The people in the suburbs also gathered on both sides of the official road where the army would pass, waiting eagerly.
When the black army appeared in everyone's sight, suddenly, the cheers were like thunder.
The army marched slowly towards the city amid the cheers of everyone, with the commanders and generals in front, the cavalry followed, and the infantry last, with a strict queue and a clear banner.
What a mighty and majestic army!
Even though the people on both sides were thundering with joy, they did not squint, showing extremely strict military discipline.
When they arrived at the gate of the city, an incense case was set up, which was led by the lord of the city guard himself, and the officials were lined up behind and greeted at the gate of the city. The castle keeper gave a speech, praising the achievements of the war, expressing condolences to the soldiers who died in the battle, and burning incense and praying to heaven. Then he personally led the horses and welcomed the army into the city.
And when you can enter the city, the real excitement begins.
The cheers were louder, the screams were louder, the atmosphere was higher and higher, and the people's overflowing enthusiasm was about to burn the whole north of the town.
The maidens rushed to present the garlands to the returning warriors.
The young women brought water intimately.
The girls in the Qinglou twisted their coquettish waists, shook their white swaying big breasts, and screamed, "Brother Bing, sister, we will wait for you, we will see you for a while."
The old and young masters were not as unrestrained as the girls, but every household wore red and hung colors, set off firecrackers, and applauded when the army passed by the door.
The entire army will circle the northern city of Zhenbei, allowing people to admire the demeanor of the army.
And usually a few days after this, it is the peak of recruitment. Those hot-blooded young men who were full of glory in their minds and hearts replaced the dead soldiers and replenished the Zhenbei Army and became the fresh blood of the Zhenbei Army.
After the parade ended, the celebration of the entire Zhenbei Army was regarded as a curtain call.
At this time, it was the turn of the celebration banquet of the Zhenbei Palace.
Of course, it is impossible for the Zhenbei Mansion to accommodate hundreds of thousands of troops of the Zhenbei Army, so the people who come to the celebration banquet of the Zhenbei Mansion are some high-level generals, or some middle- and low-level young generals who have made great contributions in this war although their grades are not high now.
And since he heard that there would be such an event, Hongba couldn't sit still, muttering there every day, and he couldn't live in peace when he sat on the stool.
Especially, when she heard about this day from Qiu Ruoshui, who came to play, Qiu Ruoshui and the ladies, the ladies of Zhenbei City, would also go to the street in person to see the heroic appearance of the return of the army, and Hongba was even more itchy in her heart.
Qiu Ruoshui actually told them about this, that is, she came to invite Hongsan and them to go to play together that day, the restaurant is booked, it is the second floor, and you can see it very clearly.
Hongba wants to go, but the house is busy these days, and although Hongba loves to play, he is not embarrassed to say this in the end.
Hong San naturally refused without thinking.
Hongqi is so busy now, how could she go to such an event? Moreover, Hongsan itself is so quiet, and this kind of activity is not very attractive to her.
Although Hong Jiu also wanted to go, she was quiet by nature, and she could afford to put it down, so she decided not to go, so she didn't think about it.
There is only Red Eight, but he is a greedy one, he wants to help Red Seven, he can't say anything in his mouth, and he can't let go of his partiality, as if there are ants crawling, and he can't be at peace every day, and he always wakes up in the middle of the night and can't sleep.
In a few days, Hongba's whole person lost weight. It was originally a blessed and cute round face, but he lost a bit of a sick Shih Tzu taste.
Although Red Seven was busy, he actually took in all of Red Eight's appearance, but he deliberately pretended to know nothing.
It wasn't until early this morning that Hong Ba fell absentmindedly, his foot was broken, and he walked crookedly, and Hong Qi said with a regretful face: "Originally, I was still thinking about it last night, but today, I should be busy almost, and there is nothing to do, so I am going to let you take a break, go out to see and play, and rest again in the afternoon, and recuperate enough to participate in the evening celebration banquet." Who knew you were on your toes at this time. In this way, it's better not to go out, otherwise it will be too bad if people are crowded and there will be any accidents. The third sister, the ninth sister, and the eighth sister will stay at home today, and the two of you will go out to play! ”
When Hong Ba heard this, he was immediately anxious and hurriedly jumped up.
"I'm fine, I don't have anything to do, no, I'll take a few steps and show it to Seventh Sister."
As he spoke, he really walked a few steps, and his brows were furrowed in pain. There was still a bright smile on his face, looking at Hong Qi, with a look of "Look, I'm fine", his expression was really not ordinary weird.
Red three and red nine have two supports.
Neither of them can deceive this lie, who else does Hongba want to deceive?
However, Hong Qi actually planned to let them out, but he didn't bother with Red Ba, he just called a Tai Doctor to come over and see the situation of Red Ba, this Tai Doctor is an orthopedic holy hand, after seeing it, he grabbed Red Ba's feet, twisted hard, "click", and straightened Red Ba's joints again, and Red Ba immediately walked without pain. After the imperial doctor prescribed some medicine to relieve pain and reduce swelling, Hong Qi sent a few of them out, and Li Tong also joined them.
Hong Qi sent the guards in the palace to follow them to ensure their safety.
Before leaving, Hongba asked Hongqi very disappointed: "Sister, don't you go with you?" ”
Hong Qi smiled and shook his head: "What's there to see in a noisy place?" I'm afraid I'm going to get deaf. Just look at yourselves. ”
got into the carriage, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but complain about Hongba.
"Usually you always say that I lack the heart eye, I see, Minglan, you are the one who lacks the heart eye. Even if the preparations are almost completed these days, it is said that there will not be too many things today. But no matter how little, Sister Mingyan is also the one who presides over the overall situation, if she goes out and something goes wrong, who can call the shots? Who has the right to call the shots? ”
"At this time, is she likely to come out?"
"Isn't it superfluous for you to ask? Fortunately, it's Sister Mingyan, if you change those people with little chicken belly, listen to your heartless and irritating words, I won't hold a grudge against you. ”
Why doesn't Hongba know this?
It's just that I deliberately don't think about it, and I hope that Hongqi will forget about it for the time being.
She pouted: "People just want to play with Seventh Sister at this time." Ever since I started preparing for this Lao Shizi's ghost celebration banquet, I haven't played with Seventh Sister for a long time. ”
Red Eight is a little excited.
She wants to go, but she wants everyone to go together.
What's more, it's not someone else who is missing, but Red Seven, who is a little uninterested in things that he was originally very interested in.
"Otherwise, let's go back!" Hong San said to Red Eight and Red Nine, Hong Jiu immediately nodded, Red Eight hesitated for a moment, and nodded, she didn't have fun going like this. Hong San turned his head to Xiao Xiao and Li Tong and said apologetically: "Then we won't go, you two go!" Have fun. ”
Xiao Xiao is the most righteous, and if they don't go, she wants to open her mouth, saying that she won't go either.
Li Tong took her arm and said coquettishly: "Sister Xiao Xiao, Mingyan, Lan Yatou, and Jade Yatou are no longer going, if you don't go either, I am not familiar with them alone, so I won't be able to go." But I really want to see my brother return victorious, so you can go with me, okay? ”
These days, Li Tong is really suffocated.
She originally loved to join in the fun, but there was no one she knew here, and if she went alone, it wouldn't be fun.
Xiao Xiao was originally a soft-hearted person, and Li Tong pleaded like this, so she was embarrassed and resolutely refused. In this way, they divided their troops into two routes, and the red three got off the car and returned to the north of the town. And Xiao Xiao and Li Tong continued to advance towards the victory building that Qiu Ruoshui said.
