"Tens of thousands of Dongjiang soldiers and hundreds of thousands of Liao people are buried here, in fact, the Liao people are both Liao soldiers, soldiers and people, and people are soldiers......

Coming to Iron Mountain again, Xu Zhiyuan looked at several huge tombs in the distance.

Those graves are the graves of the Dongjiang soldiers and Liao people who were killed after the fall of Phi Dao. I don't know who buried it.

The boat did not go to Iron Mountain, but to Phi Dao.

After arriving at the "Belt Fort", Li Yi asked Xu Zhiyuan if there was anything he wanted to do.

He offered to take a look at Phi Island. Not just to come and see, but also to bury the deceased brother here. For those brothers, it was also their home.

In order to fulfill his wish, Li Yi specially sent a boat to send them to Phi Island.

Finally, once upon a time, the Phi Island, where tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians gathered, was no longer as prosperous as it was yesterday, and the houses on the island were burned down, leaving only a pile of broken walls.

"Xu Qianhu, where are we going?"

Li Dingkun, who went to the island with Xu Zhiyuan, asked.

"Let's go to Yoshizuka!"

The so-called "righteous mound" is the place where the Dongjiang officers and soldiers are buried, and the reason why they came here is because there are several old soldiers who died in battle and hope to be buried here.

Came to the "Righteous Mound", which has also been deserted, in the messy grass, one by one stone tombstones, the direction of the head is always to the northwest, towards the location of Liaodong, many tombstones have been broken, Li Dingkun, who followed Xu Zhiyuan, silently read the words above:

"Liaodong Jinzhou Wei Li Zhikun Tomb".

"Liaodong Dingyuan Right Guard Zhao Tomb".

"Liaodong Iron Collar Guard Zhang Tianduo Tomb"

……

All the tombstones are written Liaodong, written Weisu, for them, Liaodong is their eternal hometown. Through the weeds, you can vaguely see that on these simple tombstones, there are also engraved the words "Chongzhen ** year".

Looking at these tombstones, Li Dingkun couldn't help but sigh, he thought of the martyrs' shrine he had seen in Nanjing, compared to there, everything here was desolate.

Perhaps, in a few decades, everything here will be gone.

Walking on this desolate cemetery of Dongjiang soldiers, Li Dingkun's mind can no longer think, the grass blown by the sea breeze is telling, the wind shaking the leaves in the distance is telling, telling their stories, he listens, but he doesn't know how to think. To be more precise, the rolling grassland in front of him touched his heartstrings, and his tears flowed endlessly, so he could only stand in place and remain motionless

After coming to the cemetery, Xu Zhiyuan and the others did not say a word, but buried a few old brothers silently, and finally they sighed again, there must be their former robes!

In the end, they came to the commanding heights of Phi Island, standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the ruins around them, Xu Zhiyuan was still silent, and it took a long time for him to slam the iron bottom of the gun to the ground again, and unfurl the flag again.

"Dashuai!"

Xu Zhiyuan roared loudly.

"Although the town is gone, the flag is still there...... The flag is still there, and we will not surrender ......"

At his shouting, the wind and the sea breeze blew the worn-out flag, and for a moment everyone burst into tears......

In the early morning of the next day, the boat left Phi Island, and when the boat left Phi Island, Xu Zhiyuan and the others stared at the disappearing island and said in a deep voice.

"If I die, please my brothers, and bury me here!"

Li Dingkun was a little distressed when he heard this sentence, looking at these gray-haired veterans and veterans, there was only silent respect left in the hearts of others.

"Although the town is gone, the flag is still there!"

When the news of the remnants of the Dongjiang River reached Dalian, Zhu Guoqiang was also silent for a long time, and Mao Chengzhi was even more tearful and couldn't help himself for a long time.

"Although the town is gone, the flag is still ......"

Reading this sentence silently, Zhu Guoqiang's mood was extremely complicated, if he didn't go to North Korea, he would not have known the news of those remnants, who were like hundreds of thousands of Liao people who fled to North Korea, so drowned in the long river of history.

Even the "righteous mounds" of the officers and soldiers of Dongjiang Town on Phi Island have disappeared into history, where did their tombstones go? No one has examined it, and even traces of their existence have disappeared.

Even the Liao people who survived disappeared into the long river of history.

"Although the town is gone, the flag is still ......"

Again, reading this sentence, Zhu Guoqiang pondered for a moment, looked at Mao Chengzhi with red eyes and said.

"I'm going to reopen Dongjiang Town, I don't know what you think!"

Hearing this, Mao Chengzhi simply couldn't believe his ears, he looked at the prince in shock,

"Lord Shizi, heavy, reopen the ...... of Dongjiang Town"

"That's right, the flag is still there, and the town will be reopened! The reopening of Dongjiang Town is not only the need of the war, but also to praise hundreds of thousands of Liaodong righteous people, how about it, Mao Chengzhi is willing to be the general soldier of the Dongjiang Army under my command! ”

"Lord Shizi!"

Hearing this, Mao Chengzhi bowed and kowtowed.

"Lord Shizi, the minister will definitely repay the kindness of the Lord Shizi with broken bones!"

For Mao Chengzhi, this may be the best gift, reopen Dongjiang Town, rebuild the Dongjiang Army, and still take him as the commander-in-chief, at this moment, he sees not only his future prospects, but more importantly, the reputation of the old handsome.

Thinking of this, Mao Chengzhi kowtowed again.

"The old man is in the spirit of the sky, if he knows that Dongjiang Town is reopened, he will definitely be very happy!"

Looking at Mao Chengzhi's grateful, Zhu Guoqiang just nodded silently, did not help him up, but continued.

"Since Dongjiang Town has been reopened, it is necessary to recruit soldiers, I think it is still mainly based on the Liao people, after you arrive at the Belt Fang Fort, first collect the Liao people, pick their elite and strong soldiers, well, train first, as for the war, don't be in a hurry......"

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the Liaomin of Dongjiang was the most valuable source of soldiers given to the Ming Dynasty by the Later Jin. In fact, as long as we went all out to supply the Dongjiang military salary, the problem of the supply of troops that made Xiong Tingbi anxious would naturally be solved. Originally, I couldn't recruit soldiers even if I spent money, and when I did, I often ran away. And now these Dongjiang soldiers are willing to kill the enemy and die to avenge their relatives.

Such a good soldier, it is really a waste to put it away! After all, in this era, there are too few people who still want to fight to the death with Jiannu even when they are dying of hunger and mourning between the mattresses, and what they want is very simple - revenge! Their parents, wives and children were all killed by Jiannu, and even if they could eat a full meal for a day and cut off the head of a slave, they were willing to die.

It's a pity that it didn't work well......

Ay! There are also good ones, but it's not just them, there are so many people with lofty ideals in the late Ming Dynasty, how many of them are useful?

If nothing else, it is Mao Wenlong's death...... Speaking of this, Zhu Guoqiang didn't even bother to talk about Chongzhen.

This emperor is really indescribable!

"As for Phi Dao, it is difficult for me to transport all the corpses of hundreds of thousands of Dongjiang soldiers and Liao people back to my homeland, but I can't let them become lonely ghosts in a foreign land, let alone let people wantonly bully and insult the place where their souls return, but fortunately, there is a way to deal with this matter."

Staring at Mao Chengzhi, Zhu Guoqiang said to him.

"After you go to Daifang Fort, no matter how Huang Taiji regulates North Korea, how North Korea has nothing to do with me, the day he defeats the East Captives, it is the time when the country of Korea is destroyed, and it is accepted as the time to enter China, and from then on, where the sun and the moon shine and the rivers go, they are all the land of the Ming Dynasty!"

This sentence is not only said to Mao Chengzhi, but also to those loyal souls who are buried in foreign lands, and it is also to comfort their souls in the sky!

They are not only from the Ming Dynasty, but also from the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. There are also dynasties and dynasties. Although the dynasties are different, they are all Han Chinese, they are all compatriots, they are all our ancestors, and they deserve the respect of future generations. Buried in the land of the Ming Dynasty.

"The place where all soldiers are buried, whether it is North Korea or Mongolia, or Annam, Burma, whether it is Kazakhstan or Persia, must become the land of the Ming Dynasty, so that the loyal souls who have opened up the living space for this nation for thousands of years can lie in their ancestral land!"

Who would dare to say that there is not!

As long as it is the place where the Han military flag goes, it is the ancestral land of the Han people since ancient times......

"Although the town is gone, the flag is still there!"

Yes!

Although the town is gone, the military flag is still there, and although the dynasty is dead, the Han people are still there! As long as the Han people are there, these martyrs will get the sacrifices they deserve!

As for the land, wherever the military flag goes, it is all Han land!
