Chapter 137: Heroic Soul Cemetery

The New Year's Eve was obviously a successful activity, and on the second day, everything about what happened in the military camp last night was circulated in Xiangping City, of course, this was deliberately done by Huo Yu's subordinates. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info but another bombshell news came out, at noon today, Liaodong Taishou Huo Yu will personally escort the remains of the fallen soldiers in the battle with Xianbei into the Heroic Soul Cemetery.

As soon as the news came out, Xiangping City was boiling! Many family members of the fallen soldiers rushed to the south of the city outside the Heroic Soul Cemetery, although they have already received a large amount of settling-in money, but for their relatives to be able to enter the Heroic Soul Cemetery is indescribably excited, this is the highest symbol of honor in Liaodong.

As early as the beginning of the construction of the Taishou Mansion was strongly supported by the people, only the fallen soldiers could be buried here, but the families of the soldiers who entered the Heroic Soul Cemetery will be given the burden and tax reduction treatment under the order of the Taishou Mansion in Liaodong. As for what other conditions and preferential treatment there will be in the future, it will depend on the development of Liaodong.

Compared with later generations, the night life is rich and colorful, and the people in the late Han Dynasty rested early on weekdays. Before the time came, a large number of people had gathered in the south of the city despite the fatigue of last night, all wanting to see this mausoleum ceremony.

Outside the gate of the Taishou Mansion, Huo Yu, who was neatly dressed, took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality. For today's entrance ceremony, Huo Yu specially put on a brand-new official uniform, and he wanted to show the people that the officials of Liaodong County were not just talking casually, and at this time of year in the future, Liaodong would worship the souls of the fallen soldiers.

This Heroic Soul Cemetery was built in a hurry, so it seems a little rudimentary at present, but these do not stop the enthusiasm of the people. Now the construction of the Heroic Soul Cemetery covers an area of hundreds of acres, the tombstones of ordinary soldiers in the garden are enshrined in the unified place, these tombstones have the names of soldiers, there will be some disabled veterans every day in the future to take care of, clean, a should be borne by the Taishou Mansion.

At the beginning of the construction, Huo Yu also personally surveyed, and he was satisfied with the cemetery built in a short period of time, although this heroic soul cemetery had no practical significance, and it was impossible for the fallen soldiers to be reborn. But this is for those who are alive, for those who have not died, and for their families. The reason why it took so much effort was to allow the soldiers to gain a sense of honor, and when they went into battle to kill the enemy, they had no worries and became brave and abnormal.

"My lord is all ready!" Xun Yu's voice interrupted Huo Yu's thoughts.

"Let's get started!" Huo Yu straightened his clothes and spoke.

Then, Xi Zhicai read out the prepared eulogy aloud in front of the incense case. When Huo Yu went to ask for the four words of the Heroic Soul Cemetery, he asked his father-in-law to write this eulogy by the way. The whole eulogy was written in one go, and everyone who listened to it shed tears.

After the eulogy, Huo Yu stepped forward and said loudly: "In order to let the world remember, the heroic struggle of the official soldiers in exchange for today's stable life, Ben Tai set up this heroic soul cemetery, and buried the remains of the soldiers who bravely sacrificed their lives for the imperial court in previous wars, and was admired by their families and people for generations." ”

At this moment, Huo Yu's heart was very excited, because history would make a fair evaluation of this move, these soldiers who used their lives to block foreign enemies were real warriors, and their descendants would be proud of it.

After a slight pause, Huo Yu spoke again: "All the families of the fallen soldiers can receive preferential treatment from the Taishou Mansion to reduce the burden and reduce taxes. ”

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding people rejoiced, and even sat on the ground and wept. The people of the Han Dynasty were so simple that they were excited by any tax reduction decree.

"In order to pay tribute to the martyrs of the war, this Taishou announced that a memorial ceremony will be held here every year on this day! Now let's send the remains of the soldiers into the park. Huo Yuyan turned around and walked to the hearse containing the ashes of the fallen soldiers, picked up the clay pot with Liu Ji's name in both hands, and slowly walked towards the garden.

Behind him, all the soldiers who had been arranged had already entered the park in turn with clay pots in their hands, and the soldiers lined up on both sides of the cemetery looked solemn at the moment and straightened their waists. In order to be able to condense the combat ability of the soldiers, Huo Yu's approach is indispensable, and Huo Yu has a better incentive policy, if the process of major events in the world can still develop according to the trajectory that Huo Yu knows, the plan in Huo Yu's heart can be implemented! It's just that Liaodong doesn't have enough financial resources to do it now, so Huo Yu didn't say a word about it.

Although the families of these fallen soldiers around them were very sad, they were grateful to Huo Yu. After all, no one in this era would pay so much attention to the life and death of a soldier, and now that a child or a husband is killed, the family no longer worries about their livelihood and can still be respected by the world, which is even more ancient.

After all, in this era, only the emperor or a meritorious minister can enjoy the offering. Because the royal family has a temple, it can be sacrificed by future generations, and those ministers who have meritorious service, with the approval of the imperial court, can also establish ancestral halls and get sacrifices from their families and people.

But these are things that ordinary people are far out of, and now Huo Yu has come up with such a heroic soul cemetery, so that all the soldiers can enjoy the sacrifices of the future generations, what kind of concept is this, under the whole world, I am afraid that only this remote place in Liaodong has it.

To put it bluntly, the generals and soldiers are all treated equally, although the positions are different, but even so makes the families of these soldiers flattered. Huo Yu chose to cremate these soldiers, at this time, it is against morality, since ancient times, when they were buried in the ground, cremation will not be accepted by most people, but in the face of the temptation of experiencing the plague and such a high honor, no one will come out to oppose it.

Besides, the construction of a cemetery is basically a grave for one person, which not only affects the overall layout of the cemetery, but also occupies a large amount of arable land. Now the practice of cremation not only saves space, but also looks beautiful, who will let their family members bury in a chaotic place, and once there are many of them, it looks eerie, who wants to go to worship!

And for those who deserted on the battlefield, or surrendered to the enemy, this is tantamount to an invisible sword, and when acting, they must take care of the consequences, and it is not a joke for family members and children to be spurned by the world.

Of course, if there were deserters in Huo Yu's army, it would be quite a serious violation of military discipline. Just as far as the Han Dynasty decree is concerned, if the deserters are not found, then their families will be charged with conspiracy. Although Huo Yu will not sit with his family, the family of the deserter will inevitably be despised by everyone.
