Chapter 485: Funeral

The soldiers did not remove their armor, and a team of ten people carried the corpses to the front of each other's house.

At this moment, the body has been packed in a coffin, and the coffin is covered with the flag of Star Seoul.

The soldiers walked to the door, knelt down on one knee in unison, and gently lowered the coffin to the ground.

The woman, who was still busy cooking inside, heard the sound, and when she came out, she saw the coffin in front of the door, and the sky was dark in an instant.

"This—This is my little Tan?"

With tears in his eyes, Wang said tremblingly.

She still remembered that day, her son came back and showed off to her that he had entered the most elite heavy cavalry in Xinghan City, and he would be a member of the Xuanshui Army in the future.

Heavy cavalry, she later learned that it was a soldier wearing such armor.

Later, whenever she saw such cavalry, she would take a few more looks, wanting to see her son among the many cavalrymen.

It's just a soldier wrapped in armor, where can she recognize it?

Some time ago, I heard that my son had gone on an expedition to fight those Tartars.

She has always been apprehensive in her heart, although her son told her that the armor of the Xuanshui Army is extremely thick, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

He easily beat five Hu people by himself, which reassured her.

Later, I saw that cattle and sheep were constantly being sent back from the city, and I heard that they had won a battle on the grassland, and these were all trophies.

She was somewhat relieved in her heart, but now.

Looking at the coffin in front of him, Wang's eyes were full of tears.

The rest of the soldiers were uncomfortable in their hearts, and it was too difficult for them to send the corpses of their comrades to each other's homes.

It's just that such a thing is left to the rest of the people, and they feel that it is inappropriate.

I don't think anyone is more suitable for this job than them.

"Tomorrow, the treasurer of Lu will hold a funeral for the fallen soldiers, please get ready."

The soldiers stood up, lightly clasped their fists and touched their chests, and saluted with the highest military salute of the Xuanshui Army.

After saying that, the soldiers turned and left, afraid that if they stayed, they would let themselves cry.

If they had died in battle at that time, they would not have had to feel such suffering.

With tears in her eyes, when her husband arrived and saw the coffin in front of him, his feet suddenly softened, and he walked to the coffin tremblingly.

After seeing the familiar faces inside the coffin, the eyes were even more sad.

......

"The bodies have all been delivered?"

In the courtyard, Lu Chensheng was writing an article and asked the attendants on the side.

After receiving an affirmative reply, he immediately nodded.

"Take this article and print dozens of articles, post it on the street, and tomorrow the funeral will be held, and one person from each household must be present."

The soldiers who died in the battle for Xinghan City must be treated with the highest standard, which Lu Chensheng had already thought about before.

In the planning of the city, the martyr's cemetery has been built.

When the attendant heard this, he immediately set about it.

It was not too early for him to print it out as soon as possible, and then inform everyone that one person from each family must be present at the funeral tomorrow.

Following.

When the sun slowly climbed up the clouds and the time was about the same, several pairs of soldiers set off separately and carried the coffin towards the cemetery.

At this moment, the cemetery is already surrounded by people.

At this time, everyone was dressed in extremely solemn clothes, with long sleeves fluttering in the wind, crowns on their heads, and meticulous clothing.

At this moment, the city of Xinghan is empty.

Although Lu Chensheng asked that one person from each household must be present, after the news spread, everyone spontaneously came to the cemetery.

Even those talents or businessmen who came to play came a lot.

No one spoke at the moment, and then silently watched a team slowly walking in from outside the cemetery, followed by the families of the fallen soldiers.

Lu Chensheng stood aside with a solemn face, watching the coffin slowly lift from his side to the front.

There was a special celebrant on the side who was in charge of the funeral, and the whole process was extremely grand.

Everyone was watching at this moment, and a slight sense of strangeness rose in their hearts.

If you die in battle, you can have such a standard of treatment, maybe it's not a bad thing.

Outsiders, looking at the scene in front of them at this moment, are also a little strange in their hearts.

Come to think of it, there is no place other than Xinghan City that treats the fallen soldiers so well, right?

The pension has not been swallowed, it is already considered very good, how can there be such treatment.

By the time the funeral was over, the pension was also sent to the family.

The pension is not just about money, there is a plaque carved out of yellow rosewood, and inside the plaque is a piece of jade with the characters engraved on it.

It means that there is a soldier who has died in this family.

In addition, the family will have a sum of money every month from now on, which will not be canceled until both of the soldier's parents are no longer there.

In addition to these, there are many other benefits, in short, the specifications are very high.

Lu Chensheng has set up a special department to deal with the deceased families, and there will be special people to greet them during the New Year.

If there is an elderly person who has no one to take care of, there will be someone to take care of them.

It can be said that everything is clearly written and very carefully.

"Do you understand? If you have anything to do in the future, you can go directly to the government office and find us, and we will try our best to solve all your troubles. ”

The officials held thick pamphlets and told each other about the treatment they could enjoy.

The neighbors on the side were all gathered outside at this moment to listen to the conversation inside.

After listening to the whole treatment of this official, he opened his mouth slightly, and his face was full of incredulity.

To be honest, they really didn't expect that the soldiers who died in battle could actually enjoy so much treatment.

However, it also made them understand more and more that the current shopkeeper attaches great importance to the soldiers who died in battle.

Not only will there be a pension, but they will help these families in the future, and if there is a widow, the treatment will not change, and even the children will receive a pension.

This one by one made the people on the side feel at ease.

Some children who had seen today's funeral and were a little worried about their children who were soldiers were also relieved at the moment.

With such a shopkeeper who thinks about them everywhere, what can he do for his son?

What's more, in addition to working for Lu Chensheng, the soldiers are actually blessing them.

When the Tartars came, they didn't need people to go up and kill the enemy.

It is also a blessing for their own sons to be able to work for such a person.

At the end of the funeral, the Xuanshui Army was also given a few days off to go back to the province, and the significance of the funeral was extraordinary, so that all the people felt that it was not easy for the soldiers, and it also greatly united the hearts of the soldiers.
