Chapter 267: Martyr's Garden
Hui'an House.
In the inner room of a small courtyard, a teenager is holding a bowl and feeding medicine to his mother, who has been overly sad and has deteriorated a lot since his father's death, until he moved to Hui'an Mansion and slowly got better.
The young man's name is Wang Yi, his father is Ning ** Wang Meng, secretly took refuge in the Hui'an army, and was killed by Deng Xuanli when Ning ** attacked Hui'an Mansion, and later Lu Yuan took his wife and children to Hui'an Mansion.
Looking at her son, who has grown up and can take care of herself, the queen mother was very relieved and said: "When you arrive at your father's grave, remember to bring a word for your mother, just say that our life has settled down now, so that he doesn't have to worry about it below." ”
"The child knows." Wang Yi nodded.
At this time, a shout suddenly came from outside the door: "Wang Yi, hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to catch up!" ”
"It's coming!" Wang Yi answered, fed his mother the medicine, and then said, "Mother, then I'll go." ”
The queen mother instructed again: "When I see Marquis Lu, remember to kowtow, and say that we are very grateful to him for taking care of our mother and son!" ”
Wang Yi nodded, and seeing that his mother didn't speak again, he left the room.
When he arrived at the hall, a young man who was about the same height as him was waiting in the house, this young man was tall, although he was young, but he had a calm that did not match his age, it was Lin Zhao, a young man from Huangkou Village.
He is also Wang Yi's only friend of the same age.
Both of them are studying at the Eastern District Academy, and most of the people studying there aspire to join the army, but even in such an environment, Wang Yi still seems out of place, like a lonely wolf.
He is not like other students, he joined the army for his career, for him, being a soldier is just to protect Lu Hou Ye and General Qin, and repay their kindness, if it were not for them, he and his mother would have starved to death in Chizhou by now.
So when everyone else is playing, he is training, when others are spoiling his parents, he is reading military books, while others are sleeping, he is hunting in the mountains and fields, selling prey to support the family.
It was during a hunting that he met Lin Zhao, and at the first sight of him, he knew that the other party was a similar person to him, and after asking, he learned that Lin Zhao's parents were dead, and the two became friends since then.
Unlike other friends, they don't talk a lot when they're together, but they have a tacit understanding in their words and deeds, and they always seem to guess each other's thoughts.
After seeing Wang Yi, Lin Zhao said with concern: "Is your mother okay?" ”
"My mother's health has improved a lot, and I will be able to enter the barracks with peace of mind in a year." As Wang Yi spoke, he went out with Lin Zhao and closed the door.
After leaving the small courtyard, the two walked quickly to the outside of the city, and when they went out of the east city gate, they saw that there were many pedestrians on the official road, most of them going in one direction.
Soon, the two walked to a huge manor, which was originally the manor of the Chen family of the four major chambers of commerce, and now it has been rebuilt, and the plaque at the gate of the manor reads three big characters - Martyrs' Garden.
Entering the park, I walked forward for a while, only to see a huge stone paved platform in front of me, in front of the high platform, standing large and small officials of Hui'an Mansion, behind the officials are ordinary people.
On both sides stood two teams of soldiers, who represented all the Hui'an troops to participate in the memorial, and to pay tribute to all the soldiers who had sacrificed during this time.
No one maintained order, but the people standing in front of the high platform were orderly, everyone had heavy faces, and occasionally someone laughed and made noise, and they would be glared at by others, and they immediately fell silent.
Behind the high platform, there are countless white tombstones with the names of the martyrs engraved on them, and it is because of them that there is the current Hui'an Mansion, and they should not be forgotten.
Wang Yi and Lin Zhao also quickly joined the memorial team in front of the high platform, looking at the solemn scene in front of them, seeing so many people with solemn faces, and in awe of his father and other fallen soldiers, he didn't know why, his heart was very sad, and he almost shed tears.
After a long time, Wang Yi saw a man slowly walking up to the high platform, that is, the person he had sworn allegiance to, the envoy of the Hui'an Army, and Lu Yuan, the Marquis of Chu'an.
His face was very heavy, and he said something loudly, but unfortunately Wang Yi stood too far back and couldn't hear clearly, then he turned around, bowed in the direction of the tombstone, and then walked down the high platform.
After that, the officials and the people lined up to walk up to the high platform and salute the tombstones, and after a long time, it was finally Wang Yi's turn, and when he saluted, he brought his mother's words to his father, and at the same time added: Father, the road you have not finished, the child will continue to walk.
Since the academy only had a half-day holiday, Wang Yi returned to the Eastern District Academy with Lin Zhao after the memorial service.
On this day, the people of Hui'an Mansion are very serious, and many outsiders are very strange, Hui'an Mansion has just been annexed to the Tang State, and the war is obviously over, they should be happy, right?
When I asked the locals about the Martyrs' Garden, some were surprised, some sighed, some laughed, and of course, the sneering people were immediately beaten by the angry locals.
Lu Yuan returned to the study in the afternoon, and as soon as he returned, he immediately put himself into work, and now the Hui'an Mansion has restored stability, which is a period of rapid development.
He had already transferred Qin Youyu, Qin Quan, and Meng Xiao back to Hui'an, and the army was reorganized, and after a series of recent wars, the total strength of Hui'an Mansion now is more than 48,000 people.
Among them, the First Army, the Third Army, and the Fifth Army under Yu Xun were all fully staffed with 10,000 troops, and the Second Army and the Guards Army under Qin Quan had been damaged in the battle some time ago, and the personnel had not yet been reorganized.
Although there were nearly 50,000 soldiers, there were only more than 21,000 horses, and this was thanks to Qian Wanqian's recent donation of 10,000 horses to him, and the more than 3,000 horses that Lu Weiyi used to exchange for food, otherwise there would be even more horses.
In this era dominated by the era of cold weapons, Lu Yuan's firearms development was still slowly exploring, and cavalry was still the king of war, so he separated cavalry from infantry.
The First Army was changed to infantry and was responsible for the defense of the border cities of Hui'an Province.
The Second and Third Armies were converted into cavalry, and horses were also procured, and the Fifth Guards were also equipped with cavalry as soon as possible. These 30,000 cavalry and the 10,000 naval army of the Fourth Army are the main forces of his future Wuyue attack.
The second army was still under the command of Qin Quan, and he had already ordered Qin Quan to take these 10,000 cavalry to Muzhou to station and strengthen Muzhou's defensive strength, after all, Wu Yueguo's army was gathering and could come over at any time.
The Third Army was trained by Meng Xiao, the Guards were handed over to Qin Youyu for training, and Hou Kaishan was mainly responsible for his own security.
When everything was arranged, he walked to the window and looked at the white clouds in the sky, his thoughts gradually drifting apart.
It has been almost two years since I came to this world, and the people and things in the other world have gradually become blurred, as if it was just a distant dream.
Remembering the embarrassment when he first came here, he felt a wave of emotion in his heart, I am afraid that he would never have dreamed that he would come to this day.
After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan walked out of the study and walked aimlessly in Jiedu Mansion.
The officials he met along the way would stop and salute respectfully, and Lu Yuan also smiled and nodded in return.
Walking around, he suddenly saw someone arguing in front of him, two of whom he still knew, Yuan Qing and Cao Yin.
He had the heart to see what they were arguing about, and hid behind a pillar, Bai Yan, the captain of the personal guard behind him, was stunned for a while, and then learned him to hide behind the pillar.
The other guards did the same, and they all hid as if they were thieves.
Lu Yuan looked at the direction of the quarrel, only to hear an official who looked familiar but couldn't name him say: "No, impropriety is impropriety, and I ask Miss Cao to leave the mansion immediately." ”
He has a Chinese face, a serious expression, and he looks like a very old-fashioned person.
Yuan Qing was furious: "Le Shen, you are too unapproachable, Yin'er went to Jinling Mansion to be responsible for rescuing Hou Ye!" ”
"One yard is one yard, since the Hou Ye did not appoint Miss Cao's official position, then Miss Cao is not suitable to enter and leave the government at will." Le Shen looked unmoved.
Cao Yin said lightly: "Sun Shaoyin asked me if I wanted to be an official, but I refused. ”
She refused because she couldn't do business after becoming an official, and she didn't feel at ease about handing over the property to others, but now that the Hui'an Mansion is becoming more and more powerful, she also regrets it in her heart.
"Since you've given up, what are you going to say?" Le Shen still had a dead face.
Yuan Qing was furious, and at this moment, a young official passed by, and he hurriedly stopped the man: "Master Zhang, you come over to evaluate the theory." ”
Zhang Shouliang saw someone calling him, smiled and saluted, "Captain Yuan is good." Then he saluted Le Shen and said, "Hello Dr. Le." ”。
"Lord Zhang, you should have heard about the fall of Jinling Mansion to Marquis Lu." Yuan Qing asked.
"Yes, the lower officials have heard of it." Zhang Shouliang nodded.
Yuan Qing said angrily: "The person who saved him was my family Yin'er, what a great credit this is, but Ke Leshen accused Yin'er of often going in and out of Jiedu Mansion inappropriately, do you think he is too much?" ”
"This ......" Zhang Shouliang glanced left and right a few times, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan has just arrived, and he doesn't know much about many rules, so he doesn't know much about it. ”
Yuan Qing was secretly angry, knowing that these scholars were timid and afraid, and they didn't dare to offend people, and they didn't even dare to say a fair word.
At this moment, he caught a glimpse of Hou Yue passing by in the distance, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and shouted: "Hou Yue, come quickly." ”
Hou Yue responded and walked over quickly.
Yuan Qing immediately told him what happened, Hou Yue didn't hesitate for a moment, and said loudly: "This matter is obvious, it is Lord Le who did something wrong!" ”
Le Shen sneered: "You are abolishing the public for private purposes, although this official can't control you, but everyone sees it in their eyes, and there will be public opinions." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time, Zhang Shouliang, who was silent, suddenly spoke: "Lord Le, slow down." ”
