Chapter 38: Bereavement Benefits
When the Ermazi of Yingshanzhai left with the people in a gloomy manner, the old and young masters who closed their doors and hid at home and shivered, all came to the school field, they talked a lot, and their emotions were high, because the soldiers of their guard drove away Ermazi, this gang of bandits who were rampant in De'an Mansion and changed color when everyone talked about it!
Over the years, these honest military households, although they are all military dependents, it seems that there are soldiers in the family, but they have been bullied and humiliated, those who are officials bully them, those rich families bully them, even those bandits bully them, who would have thought that the soldiers would let the bandits bully?
But that's the way it is, whether you are a soldier or a bandit, whoever is strong in force can bully people!
Today, they actually resisted the invasion of bandits, which means that they will be safe in the future, and they don't need to worry about bandits attacking again, at least their sense of security in their hearts has risen to a level, and the pride of being a military household in Pingli Fort has also risen to a level.
Of course, crying and happiness go hand in hand, because someone was hurt today.
The next day, the results of the battle damage were reported, Qin Yiming asked people to beat the big drum in the school field, everyone gathered in the school field, not only these soldiers, but also all the military families in Pingli Fort behind, in front of the soldiers, there were more than a dozen corpses, these were the soldiers of the guard who died in the battle yesterday.
"Yesterday, the bandits of Yingshanzhai openly brought people to attack our Qianhusuo, attacked our Pingli Fort, and vowed to kill everyone in our Pingli Fort, of course they did not succeed, because we have brave soldiers, these brave soldiers are your sons, they! It is their duty to protect Pingli Fort, because they are officers and soldiers, and officers and soldiers should kill bandits and maintain order and law; It is also their duty to protect you, because you are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they are their families, parents, brothers and sisters! ”
Qin Yiming shouted to everyone and continued: "Yesterday, these brave soldiers defeated the bandits, maintained our Pingli Fort, and protected the people of Pingli Fort, but they sacrificed, they defended their homeland with their own blood, our common home, they are the loveliest people, our big heroes of Pingli Fort, they are our glory!" I, Qin Yiming, De'an Thousand Households, am proud of these brave sons and daughters of yours, we are proud of your brave soldiers, and I am proud of you brave soldiers! ”
Qin Yiming said here, not only the soldiers below were all in high spirits and their blood was boiling, but even the common people behind them were also rendered, Lord Qianhu was not only praising these soldiers, but also praising them, Qin Yiming was their benefactor, they were all very convinced and respected, and being praised by such a person was a very proud and glorious thing.
"Of course, there will be casualties when there is war, and the homeland needs blood to protect it! Yesterday, more than 500 bandits came, and 50 people from our Pingli Fort went out of the city to meet the battle, killing dozens of enemies, and no one of them was killed or injured, but the bandits were red-eyed, and finally our army united as one, attacked together, and killed more than 200 bandits, but our army also had dozens of casualties, and these brothers were lying here! ”
Qin Yiming slowed down his tone and became sad, everyone's mood also changed, everyone looked at the soldiers lying on the ground, and some family members cried directly.
"The blood of the soldiers cannot be shed in vain, they are fighting for me, fighting for Pingli Fort, fighting for all of us, I declare that the families of all the brothers who died in the war can receive ten stone rations every year, plus ten taels of silver and ten acres of land as a pension, and I swear here that I must pay for the blood debt and blood, and let the thieves of Yingshanzhai be buried with me!"
"This thousand households will set up a free medical clinic in the thousand households, all the medicinal materials will be supplied to the soldiers free of charge, and the doctor's consultation fee will also be paid by the health office, and the relatives of the soldiers can also enjoy discounts."
Qin Yiming said sonorously, categorically, and loudly!
The entire school field burst into thunderous applause.
Afterwards, under everyone's gaze, Qin Yiming and all the hundreds of households personally carried the bodies of the fallen soldiers and sent them home. All this arrangement brought a great shock and shock to everyone, they felt that they were respected, and the soldiers felt that the sacrifice was worth it, for a long time, they had never found the value of their existence, and today they suddenly found out.
Ma Qianhu and Yang Yanshi, since yesterday Er Mazi shook their ugly things, the two of them hid directly in their official offices and did not dare to come out, but if they did not come out, it did not mean that the military households did not go to them, and later in order to calm the people's anger, at the suggestion of Qin Yiming, the two of them each donated the acres of land they occupied, and plus five thousand taels of silver per person.
Qin Yiming used the silver donated by the two to distribute the bereavement pension, and personally went to the homes of the families who died in the battle to express their condolences.
Since Xu Zhen'er was kidnapped last time, she noticed that something was wrong.
She clearly heard that she was kidnapped in the broken temple and had nothing to do with the Hu family's master, but why didn't their Xu family's informant in the Hu family inform her of the news in time? Could it be that this informant has been discovered and dealt with by the Hu family, or betrayed their Xu family?
She couldn't figure it out, but before she could figure out the problem, a bad thing happened again, that is, her only relative in this world, her own brother Xu Dingwang, disappeared.
Xu Dingwang, as the name suggests, is to think that their Xu family male Ding is prosperous, their Xu family has been passed down for several generations, and the male Ding is depressed, his father only has her and Xu Dingwang, she is a daughter, and her father named him Zhen'er, which means chastity, and named her younger brother Ding Wang, just to hope that their Xu family's incense will flourish and not be cut off.
Therefore, before Master Xu passed away, he never expected or restrained himself, the only son, but taught and restrained Xu Zhen'er a lot, Xu Dingwang was not interested in those family business matters, and Master Xu did not dare to force it, and in the end all the burden fell on Xu Zhen'er's head.
Since her father passed away, Xu Zhen'er has taken on the Xu family, and the most important mission in her heart is to take good care of her only brother, but now that her brother has been lost, she is anxious, but she doesn't know what to do. Although she suspected that all this was a good thing done by the villain of the Hu family, she couldn't directly take someone to the Hu family to ask for someone.
Qin Yiming was preparing to go to Anlu County, and before he set off, there was a letter from Sun Shirui, the prefect of Anlu County, saying that he was busy with official business all day and couldn't be separated, but he couldn't trust Qin Yiming to pay homage to him, and asked him to go to Anlu County quickly, not only that, Sun Shirui even had the carriage ready, and the two officials stared at Qin Yiming, and wherever Qin Yiming went, they followed.
Qin Yiming didn't expect this Sun Shirui to be so persistent, for the sake of his father Sun Chuanting, he was also willing to worship this brother, so he took the little monkey and got into Sun Shirui's carriage.
