0088 Funeral
A few days later, the day of the boys' burial came. Liu Pei led his subordinates and villagers to hold a funeral for these people. The five families all chose to let Liu Pei arrange the funeral. Because it saves a lot of money. But Liu Pei didn't want to blame them. They have been poor for a long time, and they are too afraid, so save a little if they can. What's more, this is more in line with Liu Pei's wishes.
For this funeral, Liu Pei put his mind into it. The purpose of his lavish funeral was not only to comfort his guilty heart. I also want to use this funeral to tell everyone that he will treat every subordinate and his family members kindly, and strengthen the loyalty of his subordinates.
Liu Pei specially asked the Taoist priest to choose a piece of land from the land he bought and prepare to build it into a cemetery. Later, it was specially used to bury the dead warriors. At the same time, he also planned to build a Taoist temple in the cemetery, dedicated to those buried here. After all, people in this era attach great importance to sacrifices!
Liu Pei planned that in the future, all the people who died in battle under his command would set up spiritual positions in this Taoist temple. After the name is decided, it is called the Martyrs' Shrine. But at this time, Liu Pei didn't dare to engrave this name, as long as he dared to engrave it, the government would dare to use the charge of rebellion to flatten his small foundation! So he just told the craftsman that the plaque was empty.
However, these buildings are not visible today, and you can see a sunny slope. The trees on the slope have been cleared, only a layer of grass remains, and the slope has been deliberately leveled, with almost no undulations. Five tombs have been dug on top of this sloping land, and stone monuments have been erected.
The funeral procession approached the slope, and only the five carriages, decorated in black and white, slowly stopped. On top of the carriage was a coffin, and the coffin was covered with a military flag of the Ming army. They were all children of military families during their lifetimes, and the coffin was covered by the military flag. But it is a pity that Liu Pei's military flag cannot be obtained.
At this moment, a salute came up. This salute was dressed differently from everyone else. Because they wore the military uniform of the German Army during World War II!
These military uniforms were purchased by Liu Pei back to modern times. Liu Pei originally thought that the German military uniform was the most handsome, so the dress he chose this time was the German Army dress at all! Those handsome military uniforms and shiny military boots completely stunned everyone who saw them off! Including Liu Pei's soldiers!
After several days of assault training, although the movements of these salute soldiers are not very standardized, they are still solemn. Eight of them carried a coffin on their shoulders and started walking towards the tomb.
Next to the tomb stood a row of soldiers also dressed in military uniforms, but armed with muskets. When the coffin and relatives approached, someone in the salute shouted: "Ready! ”
The salute soldier, who had been standing upright, took a half-step forward and stood sideways, his guns in both hands pointing to the sky.
"Shoot!"
"Bang", neat gunshots rang out!
Hearing the sound of firecrackers, the people attending the funeral couldn't help but shake their bodies. But they also understand that this is a special way for these people to say goodbye to their brothers. At this time, the soldiers carrying the coffin began to slowly put the coffin into the tomb.
The salutes retracted their firearms and began to reload, which was completed a few moments later. The commander shouted again: "Ready! ", the muzzle of the gun was pointed at the sky again.
"Shoot!"
"Bang"
The fire guns were fired three times in a row, and the tomb had begun to fill in the earth. At this time, a salute soldier next to him, who had not moved, raised the trumpet clipped under his armpit and began to blow the lights-out horn!
"Tick...... Backbite... Didi...... Tick ......"
The melodious milliliter made the people present even more tearful. By the time the lights out stopped, the tomb had already been filled. The military flag covering the coffin had been slowly folded into a triangle at the sound of the trumpets. The five salute soldiers walked to the five families, handed the folded military flag to the old man's hands, and said in unison and slowly: "This flag is presented to you in the name of a grateful country and the Liu family. Because of gratitude to your son for his glorious and honorable service to the country and the Liu family, I only use this banner to express the gratitude of the country and the Liu family to him. ”
The old people stretched out their hands to take the military flag, and the whole family cried. The families of the deceased never imagined that their son would receive such grief after his death. This strengthened their desire to follow Liu Pei down.
What Liu Pei didn't know was that there were still a few in-service soldiers in the guard house in the surrounding crowd. Looking at their tattered fat jackets, you can see that they are just ordinary soldiers. The person who started said to the people around him: "This head of the Liu family is really kind-hearted!" If we have such majesty after death, how can we be afraid of death? ”
Another person said: "Not only that, but for the Liu family, there is a bereavement pension for the dead, and a pension for the disabled." I want to go to Liu's house! Especially that military uniform is simply so beautiful! If we can wear this uniform, it's worth dying! ”
When the funeral is over, people still linger under the hillside for a long time and do not want to leave. It seems that he is still savoring the glory of the dead. This funeral spread throughout all the villages within a radius of 100 miles, causing a huge sensation! Everyone knew that the head of the Liu family was willing to spend a lot of money for his subordinates. Everyone is looking forward to Liu Pei recruiting people again, so that he can join the Liu family to be a housekeeper.
And there was a small side effect of this funeral. That is, all the young men under Liu Pei insisted on a set of military uniforms worn by the salute soldiers!
It's no wonder that the boys are greedy, knowing that it is the famous German Army dress during World War II. The mustache once said: "The military uniform must be handsome!" In this way, young people will join the army without hesitation. ”。 So the German military uniform is recognized as particularly handsome!
And Liu Pei gave the salute soldiers not only a handsome military uniform, but also a dress in a military uniform, which was even more handsome! In fact, the German military uniform was not designed by a single designer. Rather, the Prussian style was constantly improved and evolved in its historical use. The final design came mainly from the collective creation of the Bauhaus Design School in Germany.
Both the black uniforms and the skull collar badges of the Panzers date back to the Weimar period. It doesn't have much to do with the mustache. The Skeleton Collar is a skeleton hussar that was used to inherit the time of Frederick's enemy. Most of the SS symbols such as the double lightning bolt are derived from Norse ancient script, and have been used since the time of the Teutonic knights.
Now Liu Pei wears blue shirts for everyone. Liu Pei's purpose in not engaging in modern military uniforms is to keep a low profile and not to be too eye-catching. If you take out the military uniform too early, I am afraid it will attract too many attention. He didn't want that until he wasn't strong enough. So in the end, I can only tell you that now is not the time. In the future, we will definitely equip everyone with handsome military uniforms, and this matter will be temporarily over.
