045 Martyrs' Shrine
The five years of Zhongping are about to pass, outside the city of Pingyuan.
Just where Liu Bei attacked the Wuhuan camp at night, a simple ancestral hall had been built to worship the soldiers who died in battle. Although, it's just civil engineering. But, somehow, naturally, there is an air of solemnity.
At this time, Liu Bei was setting up sacrifices for the souls of the soldiers who died in battle. Although Liu Bei fought extremely skillfully in these two battles, he killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 himself. After the two battles, Liu Bei was still a soldier who killed nearly hundreds of people, and there were almost the same number of soldiers, who were disabled.
Liu Bei named this ancestral hall the Yasukuni Martyrs' Shrine.
This name made Hua Xin, Xi Zhicai, Cui Meng and others unanimously applaud. It is believed that "Jing" means stability, and "Yasukuni" means to make the country stable. Loyalty, loyalty, righteousness and heroism. That's a really good name.
Only Liu Bei understands where he learned this idea. In fact, just by listening to the name, you know the "Yasukuni Shrine" of the devil's house that Liu Bei imitated.
Although it is said that the Chinese mention the "Yasukuni Shrine". The word "notorious" is often added. However, I don't know how many people, in their hearts, are actually all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred. The shrine enshrines the soldiers and their families who died in the war for Japan since the Meiji Restoration. In this way, for this ambitious small country, the hearts of the people have been united, and the people have been united, so that such a one. The small island nation became a great power. It even stood on the top of Asia for a time.
In comparison, the large, empty monument of a certain country is more than a star and a half.
In the square at the entrance of the Yasukuni Martyrs' Shrine, there is an eight-foot-high stone stele. The name of this monument is "Huayi Dingding Monument". There are seven big characters written on it: "Outer Yi Di and Inner Zhuxia".
There is a small stele behind it, which is engraved, "The Han generals are prepared, leading the generals such as Zhang Zhao Taishi, and 10,000 elite soldiers, breaking Wuhuan and riding 100,000 here, and those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away." ”
No need to ask, this is a plagiarized copy of Zhang Fei's sentence "General Han flies." Even the Han generals were prepared, and these words were written by Zhang Fei.
In the martyrs' shrine, hundreds of tablets are densely placed. There were dozens of white flags standing around, and Liu Bei personally wore linen and filial piety, and led everyone to sacrifice. According to the concept of this era, with Liu Bei's status, such a grand sacrifice to the soldiers who died in battle can really be said to buy people's hearts to the point of shamelessness.
At this ceremony, Liu Bei invited his father-in-law Cai Yong to personally take action, and the music specially composed was tragic and impassioned. Then, Liu Bei ordered someone to beat the war drum loudly.
In the Martyrs' Shrine, Liu Bei raised his glass and said loudly: "Brothers, go all the way, let's see you in Heaven." ”
Yes, the concept of Heavenly Court was also taken over by Liu Bei from later generations. According to Liu Bei's preaching, the heavenly court is the place where the emperor of heaven lives, and all soldiers who die in battle to protect their families and defend the country can go to the heavenly court after death and give the emperor a heavenly soldier and general. Not only can you eat and drink the luxurious enjoyment of wine pond meat forest. Moreover, each of them also has ninety-nine eighty-one virgins as wives. Oh, this plagiarism is also obvious, and even, the heavenly soldiers and generals have nine more wives than the saint seiya, anyway, everyone is bragging, and no one can prove the truth or falsehood, why not say more.
And the soldiers, albeit half-convinced. However, only Liu Bei knows that in the end, everyone will gradually believe it. Because, no one knows what it will be like after death, if there is really a heavenly court, then there is still hope for the future.
In particular, the Han family pays attention to a service to death as if it were a life.
What does it mean to serve death as a life, that is, although a person is dead, the enjoyment of life is indispensable.
For example, after the death of the emperor, he had to go out on patrol with his clothes. His clothes were to be loaded in a chariot drawn by six white horses, and there were eunuchs, dressed in linen and filial piety, knights, and guards. Cruise around the emperor's favorite places every day. People who don't know saw it, and really thought that there was a son of heaven who was inspecting his country.
As for the tomb, what is the mountain dug for the mausoleum, and the tomb is like the mansion before death, this is still the treatment of ordinary officials and eunuchs. As for the princes and kings, they all use the mountain as their mausoleum, the yellow intestine inscription as the coffin, the golden jade clothes as the body, and the weapons and stone figurines as the guard. As for the emperor, basically, he began to build tombs from the time he ascended the throne and continued to repair until he died. In the middle, he had to constantly migrate from all over the world to the rich and noble families to guard his tomb.
And the funeral goods of the deceased are even more luxurious, generally speaking, ordinary people, if they hold a funeral, they can directly make people bankrupt. For example, Cui Meng's uncle and grandfather, Cui Wei, after his father's death, "sold the farmland, raised the mound, and erected a monument to praise." "See, in order to do the funeral, even a family like the Cui family has to sell all the houses and fields in order to make enough money.
Therefore, Cao Cao set up the two positions of General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin, which were specially used to engage in tomb robbing. There is too much gold and silver in the tomb. For example, Liu Wu, the king of Liang, the graveyard of this unlucky child, was dug up by Cao Cao, and the treasures removed from the tomb could only be transported by seventy-two ships, enough for the army to be used for three years, and Cao Cao's power suddenly exploded.
Shi Zai: "don't enter the dang, send Liang Xiaowang mound, break the coffin, collect tens of thousands of catties of gold treasures, the Son of Heaven wept when he heard it, transported seventy-two ships, and raised soldiers for three years." ”
In the battle of Guandu, Chen Lin wrote an essay on the thief, which also included "King Xiao of Liang again, the first emperor Mu Kun, and the tomb is honored; Mulberry pines and cypresses, it is still appropriate to be solemn. And the commanders and generals came to excavate, broke the coffin and naked corpse, and plundered the gold treasure. To make the holy pilgrimage weeping, the people sad! Cao and specially set up the general of the Qiu Zhonglang and touched the golden captain, and the suddenness was not exposed. ”
The tombs of the Han Dynasty contained too much gold and silver treasures to accompany the burial, and it was precisely because the Han people believed that there was a spirit after death that they could expect something.
However, Liu Bei naturally can't just use such an ethereal thing to fool people with such an ethereal thing that goes to heaven after death, and he has to have tangible benefits for everyone.
When the simple and solemn sacrificial ceremony was completed, Liu Bei took off his filial piety clothes and began to publicly read out the notice of reward and punishment on the square.
At this time, 12,000 government soldiers gathered in a team of 100 people according to the establishment. In the center of the square, a large flag was erected, with six big characters written on it: "Openness, Justice, Fairness". It is nicknamed the "Three Public Banners".
In the square, under the banner of the Three Princes, Liu Bei first announced the compensation measures for the soldiers who died in the battle, and then began to announce the rewards for the meritorious personnel.
"Drama Zhicai, there is a strategizing skill, the first in merit, and 5,000 acres of land."
"Guan Yu, he has the merit of guarding the lonely city alone, the second in terms of merit, and appreciating 5,000 acres of land."
"Zhao Yun, he has the merit of capturing the Wuhuan prince Lou Ban, the third in terms of merit, and the reward of 3,000 acres of land"
"Zhang Fei......"
The main generals naturally came to read it in person.
Wait for Liu Bei to finish reading the rewards of the main generals. Among the government soldiers, each team of 100 generals read out loudly the "Notice of Reward and Punishment". Because in this battle, there is no punishment, only reward. Therefore, it is a notice of reward.
This system, naturally, was also created by Liu Bei, that is, the reward and punishment system was made public. What kind of meritorious service has been made and what reward should be received will be announced to the army.
The purpose of doing this, on the one hand, is to convince the public, who is not satisfied can be reflected upward, and even in the end, it can be reflected to Liu Bei.
On the other hand, the problem of withholding military salaries and rewards can be minimized. Zuo Zongtang in history relied on a financial disclosure system, using Hunan and Hubei, two provinces that are not wealthy, to requisition huge manpower, material and financial resources to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In the end, it is to motivate the war and let the soldiers know that as long as they are willing to fight hard, houses, tickets, cars, and girls are greatly available. Therefore, let me honestly fight as a soldier.
In addition to the reward, it is a punishment, and in history, the tiger and wolf division of the Qin army came from this.
He who is rewarded is rejoicing. There are no military exploits, no rewards, and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred. This kind of envy, jealousy and hatred is the motivation to fight bravely in the next battle! Even the hundreds of Wuhuan captives were no exception, and everyone looked eager to go to battle immediately, so that they could be rewarded for their meritorious service.
When all the rewards of the officers and soldiers were read, everyone shouted long live.
Long live the sound of the clouds, the sound of the sky.
