On the morning of March 25, 1537, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, spontaneously came to Heishigang outside Ganyang City to participate in the burial ceremony of the fallen soldiers of the Zhou family.

Heishigang is a wilderness, and now the entire Heishigang has been bought by Zhou Rui with money to bury the soldiers killed in the war with the Silver Wolf Empire.

"I heard that tens of thousands of people died in the Zhou family this time, most of them are from our Ganyang."

"It's not, the alley in my house is almost a family of filial piety.

The second eldest of my family also joined the Zhou family's army, and this time he also went to Xiangshi Island.

However, he was lucky, and when it was his turn to take position, the werewolves stopped attacking. ”

"Join the Zhou family's army, it's okay to die in battle, at least you can leave a corpse.

I heard that most of the people who joined the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet and died in the battle did not even leave a corpse, which is really miserable! ”

"By the way, I heard that the ordinary soldiers of the Zhou family who died this time all had a pension of 2,000 silver coins, and I don't know if it's true? Or is it fake? ”

"It's true, the eldest brother of my third aunt's family, who is an ordinary sailor of the Zhou family's coastal defense fleet, after being killed in the naval battle of Shark Island, my third aunt and my third aunt's husband have already received a pension of 2,000 silver coins from the Zhou family.

Moreover, the Zhou family also promised that in the future, they would also give my third aunt's family a military martyr subsidy of 15 silver coins, as long as my third aunt and my third aunt's husband are alive, this military martyr subsidy will always be available. ”

"Selling your life to the Zhou family is really worth dying!

It's a pity that the lives of the two boys of my family are not good, so they joined the ninth division of the Cui family.

For the Cui family, compared with the Zhou family, the gap between the treatment and the Zhou family is simply too big. ”

"Brother, then you don't want your two sons to leave the Cui family's ninth division quickly, and now the Zhou family is still recruiting."

"Alas—if I could have left, I would have left long ago.

Now the Cui family's handling of deserters is ruthless, and it will even affect the family. ”

"Look, the funeral procession is coming!"

The funeral procession organized by the Zhou family exceeded 100,000 people.

Last night, the funeral procession was already stationed outside Ganyang City.

At the front of the funeral procession was a flag guard team of more than 1,000 people, escorting three flags and coming first.

These three flags are the military flag of the Han and Tang Empires, the military flag of the Fengwu Army, and the military flag of the Zhou family.

More than 1,000 officers and soldiers of the flag guard team, lined up in an unusually neat square, all 1.85 meters tall, wearing the yellow-colored military uniform of the Fengwu Army inside, wearing a set of pitch-black leather armor outside, and each officer and soldier held a Mauser 98K rifle with a bayonet in their hands.

Thousands of people are like one, and the momentum is like a rainbow.

When the flag guards walked slowly and walked over, the noisy Black Stone Gang suddenly fell silent.

This is Zhou Jiajun?

No wonder it can make the Silver Wolf Empire soften.

The people of Ganyang City who came to participate in the funeral ceremony couldn't help but feel a little shocked when they saw the flag guards coming in front of them.

This is the first time that the military appearance of the Zhou family army has appeared on a formal occasion, which simply subverts the impression of the people of Ganyang City on the previous army.

You must know that the armies of the various feudal towns of the Han and Tang Empires have never had any queue training, and even the armies of the six major beast countries will not undergo strict queue training during the recruit period.

After Zhou Jiajun's neat and uniform queue was born, the sensation caused by it may not even be imagined by Zhou Rui himself.

Behind the flag guards were the coffins of 7,390 fallen soldiers of the Zhou Army, each of which was carried by six officers and soldiers of the Zhou Army.

The 7,390 soldiers killed in battle include all the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Army who died in the two battles for the defense of Xiangshi Island.

Behind the 7,390 coffins, there are another 1,825 coffins.

Inside these 1,825 coffins are the 1,825 naval officers and sailors killed by the coastal defense fleet in the Battle of Xiangshi Island, the Battle of Shark Island, and the artillery battle of Xiangshi Port.

Behind the 1,825 coffins, there are five consecutive squares, a total of 13,959 officers and men of the coastal defense fleet, and each naval officer and soldier holds a spiritual tablet in his hand.

Due to the naval battles of Xiangshi Island and Shark Island, many warships were sunk by the coastal defense fleet, so that the bodies of many dead naval officers and soldiers sank into the sea with the warships.

At this time, the corpses of these fallen officers and soldiers can only be replaced with spiritual tablets.

At the back of the funeral procession are the families of tens of thousands of fallen soldiers of the Zhou family.

After all the coffins and spiritual tablets were buried, the time was already more than 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, it suddenly began to rain in the sky, and Zhou Rui stood in front of the tombstone that could not be seen at a glance, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.

One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither.

With this local war with the Silver Wolf Empire, the Ganyang Zhou family was not only famous in the Han and Tang Empires, but even in the whole world, the Ganyang Zhou family also had a very great reputation.

However, these fame were exchanged for their lives by more than 23,000 soldiers of the Zhou family's army.

For these soldiers who died fighting for the Zhou family, Zhou Rui can only make some compensation to their families financially.

Therefore, in addition to the high pension, Zhou Rui tried his best to override public opinion and personally formulated a plan for the subsidy of military martyrs.

Zhou Rui sprinkled a bowl of wine on the ground, and after breaking the wine bowl again, he shouted loudly: "The soul returns-"

Immediately after that, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Zhou family army behind Zhou Rui also shouted in unison: "The soul returns——"

The next day, newspapers from all over the Han and Tang Empires reported on the burial ceremony, and many newspapers were full of praise for the military appearance shown by the Zhou family.

The photos of the flag guards in the funeral procession even made the front page of many newspapers.

In a palace in the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Emperor Ouyang Hui put down the newspaper in his hand, and then said to Prime Minister Guo Fujin with some emotion: "The army of the Zhou family in Ganyang can indeed be called a division of tigers and wolves.

I have never heard of such a military appearance. ”

Prime Minister Guo Fujin nodded, "Even the Silver Wolf Empire in the hands of the Ganyang Zhou family has not bargained at all, and it is appropriate to call its army the division of tigers and wolves." ”

Immediately, Emperor Ouyang Hui asked another middle-aged man in the palace: "Didn't you find it on the embroidery table, where did you get those all-main gun battleships of the Ganyang Zhou family?" ”

This middle-aged man is Zhao Rongguang, the current commander of the embroidery table, that is, Zhao Yan's father.

Zhao Rongguang shook his head with a solemn face, "Your Majesty, in order to track down the origin of those battleships with all main guns, the embroidery platform used hundreds of secret agents in Fengwu Town, but it didn't find any clues.

It was as if the battleships with all the main guns had come out of nowhere. ”

Prime Minister Guo Fujin said at this time: "Your Majesty, the appearance of those all-main artillery battleships of the Ganyang Zhou family can be described as very strange.

You must know that the countries that can build all-main gun battleships, except for the six beast countries, only the Liang Yan Empire remains.

However, the navy of the Liang Yan Empire only has three all-main gun battleships, where can it be the Ganyang Zhou family, and more than twenty all-main gun battleships will be built at once.

So the minister has a bold guess! ”

"Bold guesses?

So where did the prime minister think those all-main gun battleships of the Ganyang Zhou family might have gotten from? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister guesses that the Ganyang Zhou family is likely to have a huge shipyard in some hidden place!"

Emperor Ouyang Hui nodded, "There is indeed this possibility." ”

Then Emperor Ouyang Hui pondered for a while and said to Zhao Rongguang: "As for the origin of those battleships of the Ganyang Zhou family, you don't need to continue to trace the clothes.

I was just curious before, but in fact, even if the embroidery table found out, it would not be of any benefit to the imperial court.

However, for the Ganyang Zhou family, you should pay more attention to the embroidery table in the future.

The Zhou family in Ganyang has already made a concert, please make Zhou Rui the envoy of the Zhenwei Festival, and the imperial court has approved it.

In the future, the Ganyang Zhou family can be renamed the Zhenwei Zhou family. ”

Zhao Rongguang left the palace and had just returned to the headquarters of the embroidery table in Tiansheng City, when one of his henchmen came over to report to Zhao Rongguang: "My lord, the eldest lady is back. ”

When Zhao Rongguang heard this, his face couldn't help but become gloomy, "What about people?" ”

"Stayed at the Tianyuan Hotel."

That night, in a luxurious private room of the Tianyuan Hotel in Tiansheng City, Zhao Yan said to Zhao Rongguang a little nervously: "Father, I will come back this time......

Before Zhao Yan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Rongguang, "Since you have returned to Heavenly Saint City, why don't you go home?"

Don't you know how much your mother has missed you all these years? ”

"I ...... I'm afraid of my father, and he's still angry with me. ”

Zhao Rongguang turned his head and said to Zhao Yan's assistant Zou Dan, "You go out first." ”

Zou Dan hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord." ”

After Zou Dan left the room, Zhao Rongguang sighed and said, "It's all because I spoiled you girl, and I have to go to make some movies."

Don't look at the movie stars boasted in the newspapers, in fact, in the hearts of the powerful, the so-called movie stars are no different from those dramas. ”

Hearing Zhao Rongguang's tone soften, Zhao Yan's heart was also secretly relieved, "Father, I already know that I was wrong.

In fact, I know that if it weren't for my father secretly sending someone to take care of me, I wouldn't have been so smooth. ”

Zhao Rongguang said with a wry smile: "I didn't help with the matter of Purple Star Pictures, otherwise you wouldn't be ......."

After a pause, Zhao Rongguang sighed again and said, "What I didn't expect was that the Ganyang Zhou family was able to force the Silver Wolf Empire to sign an armistice agreement.

I knew that the Ganyang Zhou family was so powerful, so I wouldn't let you leave Ganyang City.

What are your plans for the Ganyang Zhou family? Are you ready to go back? ”

Zhao Yan's expression was a little gloomy, "I still know Zhou Rui's character, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to go back this time." ”

Zhao Yan didn't see it, and at this time, some intriguing looks suddenly flashed in Zhao Rongguang's eyes, "Then go home with me first!"

Your mother doesn't know how happy she would be to see you coming back.

If the Ganyang Zhou family doesn't go back, they won't go back, and with my daughter's appearance, even if she enters the palace as a concubine, there is no problem. ”
