『Chapter error, click here to report』
The first item of the parade, in the monotonous and desolate requiem of a suona hand, by 2000 brocade guards, each holding a spirit card in their arms, slowly walked up to the review stand.
When these spirit cards appeared in front of the review stand, a herald shouted at the school grounds: "All of them have it, stand upright, and salute the army." ”
Lu Peng was the first to stand up straight, lowered his arrogant head, clenched his right hand into a fist on his chest, and performed his most sincere military salute in front of the solemn spiritual seat.
20,000 soldiers neatly lined up together to the tablet of the 2,000 fallen soldiers on the stage, and dedicated his most sincere military salute.
The sound of 20,000 right hands beating his chest converged together, like a muffled thunder, roaring in the flat ground, and it was this neat roar that made many of Yuan Shao's generals who had just surrendered change color.
With a salute, the 20,000 soldiers straightened up again and raised their proud heads.
Lu Peng strode to the front of the stage and delivered his parade speech in front of the 20,000 soldiers below.
Of course, there are also the most primitive megaphones in the audience - that is, a hundred carefully selected soldiers with loud voices, Lu Peng said a word, and these soldiers repeated what Lu Peng said.
"The 2,000 martyrs on the stage are the 2,000 brocade brothers who died bravely in this war, although they are not affiliated with the army, but they have made a feat that no soldier has made, so they deserve the glory of the soldiers, so here I decided to enshrine their ranks in the Heroes Shrine of the Savage Valley, and accept the blood and food sacrifices of all the soldiers and civilians under my rule."
Then he glanced at the surprised generals, glanced at the 20,000 soldiers below, and asked loudly: "Are these brothers of the Jinyi Guard worthy of sleeping with you, and are they worthy of enjoying the world's blood and food offerings with you?" ”
"Honored, honored, honored." The answer was higher than the other, expressing the brothers' recognition and admiration for those brocade brothers.
"I now announce that these two thousand brocade guards will be awarded the medal, although they will not have the opportunity to wear them, but I will give them the military medal to their descendants or widows, so that they can continue to enjoy the glory and treatment brought to them by their relatives."
This announcement immediately aroused the great interest of all the soldiers in the audience, and they were all excited and enthusiastic.
The glory and benefits brought by the military merit medal to everyone are obvious to all, but according to the rules, the honor and benefits of the military merit medal can only be enjoyed by the winners of the military merit medal, and their children and grandchildren will never inherit this honor and welfare.
But this time, the lord broke this convention, and the brothers who died in battle could receive military merit medals, and they could be passed on to a generation.
This is absolutely exciting news, this is a decision that makes all the soldiers feel very encouraged, which makes them know that the dedication of their lives will be directly rewarded by their children and grandchildren, and since they can let their descendants directly get shelter, then it is worth losing this life.
The civil and military officials standing on the stage followed Lu Peng and bowed to the corner of the stage, and the group walked onto the review stand with the support of a group of soldiers.
These people who were invited to the stage included the elderly, women, women and children, and infant children. They rushed forward, and they could still hold on at the beginning, but when they saw the 20,000 pairs of excited and eager eyes below, they were already trembling with excitement.
But when they saw the lords they admired, and the officials and generals who used to be high in the past, and saluted them respectfully, they could no longer stand, and they wanted to bow down one by one in fear.
But when they were in a hurry, the soldiers who supported them held them so tightly that they couldn't kneel down at all.
At this time, Lu Peng said sincerely: "Fathers and fellow villagers, you are all heroic parents, that is, our parents, from now on, under the rule of my Lu Peng, you will never give anyone who kneels, including me, and you are all heroic parents, from now on, you will enjoy the gifts of the entire people and civilians under my rule." ”
Such sincere words, such affirmation of the merits of their brothers, husbands and sons who died in battle, made these family members cry bitterly.
Finally calmed the cries of these family members, and Lu Peng loudly announced the sponsorship medal for the martyrs this time.
"Chen Gui (Chen Shopkeeper), Silver Medal."
The lady of the shopkeeper Chen stepped forward and wanted to kneel down to give Lu Peng a salute, but she was supported by someone, so she cried and asked Lu Peng to pin a silver medal to the corner of her clothes.
Don't be good for the medal, Lu Peng solemnly gave a deep salute to the shopkeeper Chen.
"Zhao Hong (Commander of the Second Team), Silver Medal."
A young man strode forward and greeted with a military salute: "The subordinate new Jinyi Guard, Zhao Hong's second son, Zhao Jie, see the lord." ”
Lu Peng looked at this capable kid and patted him on the shoulder: "I hope that in two years, you will have your own medal." ”
"Never disappoint the expectations of the lord."
"Liu Dong (Shang Jia Liu) Silver Medal."
At this time, the lady of the shopkeeper Chen stood up again with a baby in her arms. "Lao Liu's only blood relative, see the lord."
Lu Peng was stunned for a moment, and then solemnly pinned the silver medal to the child's swaddling clothes. Then he still solemnly gave the child a courtesy.
The rest was issued with bronze medals, which were issued in batches by various officials under Lu Peng.
After the medal was distributed, Lu Peng took a deep breath, and once again loudly announced to the 20,000 soldiers who were about to join the battle sequence, and also to the countless soldiers under Lu Peng: "From now on, I will pay for my own food and build a heroic orphan academy in the Savage Valley, also called the Lu Military Academy, adopt all the orphans of the martyrs who died in our battles, raise them until they are eighteen years old, and then let the orphans of these martyrs inherit the will of their fathers, continue to fight on the battlefield, and reproduce the glory of their fathers."
I will submit a request to the Cabinet and order the household department to take out a part of the money and grain, and then collect some money and grain from the society, adopt the parents of the martyrs who are unable to work, and send them to their old age. ”
As soon as this decision was announced, the audience suddenly became silent, but in a blink of an eye, there was jubilation, and I don't know who it was, the first to violate the military regulations of wearing armor and not kneeling, and suddenly knelt down to Lu Peng on the review stand, one kneeling, 20,000 soldiers knelt down together, raised their heads one by one, and then raised their arms together and shouted: "Fight to the death, fight to the death, fight to the death." This loud battle of the death echoed between heaven and earth, making the mountains respond, making heaven and earth moved, and making those who watched the ceremony Yuan Shao's hands descend and demote all of them were moved, at this time, they knew completely that no matter what kind of state they were in, in the end in front of an army like the Lu Jiajun, the result was one, and there was only one, that is, failure.
Gao Gan and Fu Zhi sighed in their hearts - the world is none other than Lu Peng.
