Chapter 043: Martyr's Hall
Shanxi Datong.
Today is an extremely special day for the Nine Border Marshal's Mansion.
Zhao Zongwu was dressed in black, staring at the tombstone in front of him with a stern expression, and the stele was engraved with a golden sail: 'Chinese heroes, immortal' eight big characters, his mood was very heavy at this moment.
Behind Zhao Zongwu, there were Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa, Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou, Fan Tianxiong and other cores.
If it was possible, Zhao Zongwu only hoped that he would appear at the Martyrs' Hall when he was paying tribute, and as for other times, Zhao Zongwu didn't want to come here himself.
Because every time you come to the Martyrs' Hall, it means that there will be a corresponding good man who will die heroically!
"Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. For every loyal soul enshrined in the martyr's hall, they are worthy of enjoying this incense offering, because they all die heavier than Mount Tai! ”
Zhao Zongwu's expression became a little dignified at this moment, staring at the tiger's eyes like a torch, eighteen guards on the left and right, they were wearing military uniforms, their chests were straight, and they all held urns in their hands.
"If possible, I hope that I will only appear here at the time when I pay tribute to the loyal souls enshrined in the Martyrs' Hall, and at other times, I don't want to come to the Martyrs' Hall!"
"It's not like I'm hard-hearted! In fact, every time they come, there will inevitably be the Pao Ze brothers around them, because what they have done will eventually lead to their heroic sacrifice! If it weren't for their existence, there would never be today's Nine-Sided Marshal Mansion! ”
Speaking of this, there were tears in Zhao Zongwu's eyes, and his fists were clenched.
"Living in such a complex world, where is there any quiet time, it's just that someone is carrying the weight for you, life is never easy, when you think it's easy, someone must be bearing your share for you!"
Zhao Zongwu didn't understand this passage before, because he thought that it was really far away from him, and he thought that he was just living an ordinary life, which didn't seem to have anything to do with that vigorous state, but with the continuous improvement of his status and the increasing power in his hands, he gradually understood what the true meaning behind this passage was.
Sometimes your ordinary life is that countless unknown heroes use their flesh and blood to build a great wall of steel on the front line!
It is also because he understands this meaning that Zhao Zongwu's heart is extremely strong to let more people know about such a group of loyal martyrs!
Because of their presence, you can live this life.
Even if he is bland.
Zhao Zongwu forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his eyes contained tears, "Since the beginning of the military power of this father, there have been fourteen years along the way, and in these fourteen years, this prince has started from scratch, fighting with Jiannu, fighting with the Japanese, fighting with sticks, fighting with the Tartars, and even fighting with some corrupt officials in the court in order to maintain such a situation!"
Do you want to say that my father has not been timid in his heart? Haven't retreated? That's impossible!
No matter who you are, when you encounter such a strong opponent, and they still appear in front of you in piles, you have more or less timidity and retreat in your heart!
But as time goes by, in Bengong's heart, there is gradually no such timidity, this kind of retreat, because Bengong has full confrontation confidence in his heart, and this is not because of how strong Bengong is!
My father is very clear in my heart, and I am also very self-aware, I Zhao Zongwu is a very ordinary mortal, I will be hurt when I am hurt, and I will be distressed when I encounter opponents, but because of this father's side, there is a group of brothers, robes, and friends like you, so that this father can have a resolute and tough attitude, and really do something practical for the people of Limin.
Let the suffering people of Li can really stand up and live confidently!
For this reason, the lost Liaodong territory has been recovered, the murderous Jiannu Eight Banners have been disabled, and overseas territories such as the peninsula, Wadao, and Nanyang have now become an inseparable part of our Chinese family.
But it is also because of this that in the 14 years of working together, 435 loyal martyrs have left us forever......"
At the beginning of the creation of the Martyrs' Hall, Zhao Zongwu made it clear that the criteria for entering the Martyrs' Hall must be an event that can affect the trend of the region, and the meritorious deeds are awarded at the heavens and earth levels.
In the future.
The specifications of the Loyal Martyr's Hall are equivalent to the existence of the national level, so every loyal soul who enters the Loyal Martyr's Hall must have meritorious deeds that can stand up to scrutiny.
This is not Zhao Zongwu's reality, but in the process of shaping national cohesion, these are all processes that must be experienced.
The feelings of the family and the country, the righteousness of the nation.
This is what has been passed down so that the people living in the Chinese region identify with each other from the heart, and after being passed on from generation to generation, a fixed way of thinking has been formed.
This is the root of national pride.
In the current Ming Dynasty, although there is national righteousness, but there is no very clear national honor and disgrace, which is why in the late Ming Dynasty, there will be so many traitors and lackeys, for such a behavior, Zhao Zongwu He can't accept it in his heart.
So he's going to change from now on.
Of course.
It is definitely not enough to just shape the martyr's hall at the national level, anything that does not go deep into the grassroots is a rootless duckweed, and the slightest wind and grass will be completely destroyed!
In order to make such a spirit, such a cohesion, truly spread the praise, Zhao Zongwu in all provinces, prefectures, counties, have set up corresponding martyrs' halls, according to the size of the meritorious deeds, they will be enshrined in the corresponding martyrs' halls, and those martyrs' families, give great generous benefits!
Zhao Zongwu wants to use both spiritual and material ways to let the people around him know that he will not forget every loyal martyr who sacrificed for the rise of China!
With such an atmosphere, perhaps at the beginning, you will feel that this is an inconsequential thing, but after experiencing more times and seeing more heroic deeds, then you will inevitably complete the baptism in your heart, and through such an act, it will also play a role in influencing more people.
Shaping national integrity and family and country feelings is a long way to go.
