200 The martyrs of the Ming Dynasty are immortal

Most of these low-level officers entered the Beijing Division for the first time in their lives. When I came all the way, it was really a big eye-opener.

The spacious and tidy street, with a dazzling array of shops, although it is not open, just looking at its storefronts, it is very rare.

When they arrived at Tiananmen Square and looked at the bright yellow Forbidden City at the end of the square, a sense of awe suddenly rose in their hearts, and some people who had been looking around while walking immediately became regular.

At the same time, many people thought in their hearts: This time, King Qin, although he didn't make any contributions, he finally saw the Forbidden City, where the emperor lived, and he could nag and nag when he went back!

But they all remember what they were doing this time in the city? When I looked up, I didn't need anyone to point out, and I saw that there was an unfinished temple near Tiananmen Square. No one introduced it, but they have confirmed in their hearts that this is the Daming Martyrs' Hall!

This Ming Martyrs' Hall covers a wide area, and the palace gate has a rudimentary shape, which seems to be about the same size as the city gate of the Forbidden City. Not far from its doorway, there is also a platform, and a long pole is fixed in the middle, I don't know what it is for?

At this time, the temple gate was not yet there, so it was a photo wall that could be seen that the temple gate was entered. Due to the large size of the temple gate, this wall is also very large. If you get closer, you can see a few big characters on the wall.

In these years, not to mention these low-level officers, even the generals who guard one side such as the general army, are illiterate. Therefore, they are all blind and don't know what the word is?

While they were looking, the movement of their feet did not stop, and nearly six or seven thousand people were led by the captain of the Jinyi Guard in front of the Loyal Martyrs' Hall, not far from the platform.

As a soldier, there is a minimum of discipline. In addition, there are many soldiers in Beijing around it, so they are very well-behaved and stand quietly, and there is only the sound of cold wind howling in Tiananmen Square.

Xu Wenbo, a family member under Ma Shilong, is in charge of more than 100 people, although he is the general flag, he has no grade. In fact, he does not have any official title as a family member, but Ma Shilong has more than 2,000 people under him, so it is natural to arrange it according to the military establishment, so he has the official title of Xu Wenbo.

This time he entered the city to pay homage to the Ming Martyrs' Hall, and there was originally nothing to do with him, after all, his general flag was not recorded by the Ministry of War. However, the imperial court decreed that the Ming Martyrs' Hall was not just for the army, as long as it was a Ming person, if they sacrificed for the Ming Dynasty, they could enter the Ming Martyrs' Hall. In this way, the leaders of their families can also enter the city.

As far as Xu Wenbo's original intention was concerned, he really wanted to come in and have a look. After all, his family is different from ordinary people's families, and he is going to go to the battlefield to fight. And when they are used, it is often a tough battle, and no one dares to guarantee whether they will survive a war. Now that he hears that there is this Ming Loyal Martyr's Hall, if he is indifferent, it will be fake!

He stood there, looking around with a little curiosity, and suddenly found that a group of people came out of the shadow wall of the Loyal Martyr's Hall, judging from the military uniform, it was the people of the Jinyi Guard, and the person who was currently surrounded seemed to be of a high rank.

"The commander of the Jinyi Guard has arrived!" With a shout, Xu Wenbo immediately knew the identity of the leader.

Jinyiwei can be said to be the most prominent one in the Ming army, and it is the pro-army of the emperor's pro-army. The commander of his brocade guards cannot be a confidant of the emperor. Such characters, not to mention them, are their superiors, those generals, deputy generals, general soldiers, etc., are not something that can be seen casually.

Now seeing such a big man coming, all of a sudden, including Xu Wenbo, straightened their chests in the cold wind and saluted.

I saw Liu Xingzuo striding to the platform outside surrounded by a group of subordinates, and then glanced at these low-level officers in front of him, and suddenly said loudly: "My generation of martial artists died on the battlefield, and the horse leather shrouded in corpses!" But after more people died in the war, the bones could not return to their homes, and their families wanted to pay their respects but had nowhere to go......"

Nowadays, there are frequent wars, and it is better to say that if you win, if you lose, for example, against Shang Jianyu, then you will really not be able to return to your hometown and become a lonely ghost. Therefore, Liu Xingzuo's opening remarks immediately attracted the attention of all the soldiers. Everyone gave up their distractions and listened intently to what he was saying.

Therefore, the emperor specially ordered to build this Ming Loyal Martyrs Hall. Summoning the souls of the soldiers who died in battle, and enshrineing the souls of the heroes who died in battle. Speaking of this, Liu Xingzuo suddenly turned around and pointed to the shadow wall and said, "Do you know what words are written on it?" ”

The cold wind howled in the square, and no one responded, just listened intently.

"The Ming Martyrs are immortal!" Liu Xingzuo's words did not pause, and immediately said it out loud, and then added solemnly, "This is written by the emperor himself!" ”

Xu Wenbo listened, not very clearly understanding the meaning of these words. But he vaguely felt that this was a tribute to the loyal martyrs of the Ming Dynasty. But when he heard the back, it was written by the emperor himself, and suddenly, he couldn't help but let out an "ah" in his heart, obviously very surprised!

When Liu Xingzuo said this, he recalled the explanation after hearing the emperor's inscription, and he was still a little excited. When did an emperor give such importance to his subjects? Have you ever had one before? At least he doesn't remember any.

He turned around, glanced at the junior officers standing straight in front of him, and after a slight pause, he explained loudly: "What this means is that the deeds of the Ming martyrs will be passed down forever and remembered by the world!" ”

Hearing this, Xu Wenbo couldn't help but be shocked. He understood that if he died in battle one day, if he could enter the Daming Martyrs' Hall, he would live his life and let others know and admire him. As soon as he thought of this, he could immediately think of how proud his children and grandchildren would be to know the deeds of their ancestors!

"I'm afraid you don't know, the emperor has decreed, the crown prince will lead hundreds of officials to worship the Ming martyrs on the Qingming Festival, and at the end of the year, the emperor will personally lead hundreds of officials to worship. Moreover, as long as Da Ming is here, this rule cannot be broken! ”

When Xu Wenbo heard this, his head "buzzed", and he couldn't believe his ears. The crown prince and the emperor personally led the civil and military officials to worship, which ...... Is this true? Is it okay for an ordinary person? How can he be!

"It is a well-known fact that the court has no money. The same is true of the inner treasury, and even the royal family is in arrears. However, in order to be able to accommodate the loyal martyrs of the Gyeonggi War, the emperor saved money and melted all the gold and silver utensils in the palace, and the ladies of the palace also donated gold and silver jewelry, so as to make up the cost of building the martyr's hall......"

The rumors turned out to be true! Everyone, including Xu Wenbo, was shocked. They'd heard it before, but thought it was just an exaggeration. But the commander of the Jinyi Guard said so in public, it must be true!
