Thirty-one soldiers who died in the night attack were incinerated by thirty-one piles of firewood mixed with fire oil, and their bodies were covered with black and red embroidered battle flags with the word "Luo" overnight, and their ashes were to be carried to the East in elaborate sheepskin bags, and then buried in the Valhalla, which will be built, to enjoy the worship of future generations. Seven captives, including Pasar and Goatee, were sacrificed, and all those who were able to attend were asked to observe the ceremony as a tribute to the victims.

Even the eldest old man, Li Tan, was at the scene, and Lao Luo didn't know if he had identified the "goatee", but the wise old man didn't say anything until the end of the funeral, even though the blood of the sacrifice soaked all the wood.

Lao Luo did not give any of the captives a chance to speak again, the enemy was not qualified to speak in front of the dead, and this kind of stubborn enemy could only turn into dirt for the best result.

This is the best funeral that Lao Luo can give to the dead soldiers, which can be regarded as a combination of the characteristics of this era, and also mixed with some of Lao Luo's ideas. Don't underestimate such trivial things, such words as dying as they deserve must not just stay in big words, such things as winning people's hearts, there is no difference in form between careerists and moralists.

"Lord, will they be buried in the East?" The question was made about Gonzas, who was attending the funeral, not only because of the etiquette requirements for attending the funeral requested by Lao Luo, but also because one of the former gladiators who unfortunately died was his fellow countryman.

"Yes, you are my warriors, and I will not allow my men to be abandoned in the wilderness, like an abandoned wild dog. Of course, if you don't think this funeral is appropriate, we will change to a more faithful etiquette next time. "Lao Luo had consulted many other people about the funeral before, but Gonzhas came back a little late.

"No, the funeral was good! It was beyond my expectations! Gonzas's voice was hoarse, "It's just that this kind of funeral reminds me of the past, when most of our people died less than the lowliest slaves. ”

"Hmm...... Now, at least for now, we can't care about that much, and my people will never allow to die like that. "Lao Luo is telling the truth, he can't take care of too many people's thoughts, and the only people around him can be saved.

The funeral did not last long, and it took only one morning to collect the ashes of the victims and hang all the sacrifices on elevated wooden poles, but the significance of this funeral to everyone cannot be ignored.

If the cleaning of the battlefield the day before yesterday brought everyone the cruelty of death and the shock of the battlefield, then what this funeral brought to all the spectators was a reflection on death and honor.

One thing that Lao Luo noticed was obviously different from later generations was that the families of the soldiers who died in the war were not full of sadness as Lao Luo had expected, but with relief and yearning. This point is not different from the numbness of people in the Ming and Qing dynasties recorded in the history books, but ...... Some of them are like the feeling that the Qin people are happy when they hear the war. Because he saw that the eyes of many warriors were not grief, but fiery.

"Why? Those people ......" Pointing to the people standing not far in front of him looking at the flames, Lao Luo deliberately asked Li Xuan to ask.

"San Lang, do you mean why don't you see them sad?" Obviously, Li Xuan was still as keen as ever, and he directly sensed what Lao Luo was puzzled about.

"That's right......"

"Because there has been no such funeral for soldiers for many years, it's not that we can't afford it, but the Tang battalion is not working together enough, and no one will do this kind of thing." Li Xuan's tone was a little lonely, obviously this kind of thing he hadn't considered.

"Well, I understand...... Lao Luo didn't ask anything more, obviously in the face of the chaos of foreign affairs, the former Tang camp was constantly fighting, discarding a lot of traditional things, and at the same time, it was gradually losing its cohesion.

Obviously, the people of this era are far less concerned about life and death than later generations, firstly, because life is not necessarily happier than death, and secondly, because the people in the Tang Battalion are basically ancestors from the military, and compared with civilians, they pay more attention to loyalty. Of course, the second point is a little taken for granted in Lao Luo's opinion, no one will die if he can live, but if he can use his death to bring a better life to his family, I believe that many people in this team will be willing.

As for others, such as the former gladiators and Central Asian ethnic groups in the team, Lao Luo can also see that if they have a choice, they will basically think the same way. This is just the most primitive and simple concept of survival in people's hearts, no different from animals to protect their offspring to survive better, regardless of education and culture, or even about ethnic groups, the tribes on the grassland do not respect the elderly very much every day, how can it not be caused by the difficult living environment? When the war came, the elders of the tribe were still willing to give themselves to keep the younger ones alive.

In later generations, people had a completely different concept of life and death.

Ideas such as "leaving the green mountains without worrying about running out of firewood" and "enduring a step to calm the wind and waves, taking a step back to open the sea and the sky" have become the core culture of all education in the East, compared with "a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye" have become derogatory terms that ignore the general situation.

Lao Luo will never approve of the former, without him, although the turtle lives for 10,000 years, it will live in vain.

This is also the fundamental reason why Lao Luo fell into a "war wild dog" in later generations, and if he is detached from the spirit of the main body of society, he can only be excluded to the edge of society.

Lao Luo is just a soldier, and he can be regarded as a military strategist if it sounds good, but he is not a philosopher, and he can't think of this level for the time being, but from the society that is full of fences in later generations to this era, standing in such a group in this era, he inexplicably has a kind of spiritual happiness.

People live for a hundred years, flies camp dogs, how can it be like morning dew, bright light? There is a great terror between life and death, but isn't there a hearty truth?

At this moment, Lao Luo found a community that he could belong to. Obviously, the soldiers here who could give their lives for their families were the only ones he could rely on in this era, and the only ones who could get his greatest attention, just as he cared for the families of his fallen comrades.

"Siedeknord, it is said that the Normans are now divided into several large groups, if I guess correctly, you should be considered Germanic?" Thinking of this, Lao Luo turned his gaze to the West Dick Nord beside him.

"Yes, Lord, Haydn and I once belonged to the same principality." Siddeck replied respectfully.

"Is it the Duchy of Saxony?" No way, although I know some history of Europa, the records before the Middle Ages are really confusing, and this is what Lao Luo is most familiar with.

"Duchy of Saxony?" Sidenk Nord was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "I haven't heard of it, I was born in the northern Alps, Henry the Bird Catcher was the ruler of that land, originally my family was just a farmer in the family of the Earl of Welf, and then entered the army because of the lord's call-up, and then was captured in the war with the Romans......"

Perhaps this funeral touched a lot of people, even the Germanic man in front of him, who often had a straight face, had a lot on his mind. It seems that everyone is not living an easy life, and it is the first time that Lao Luo has heard his former gladiators tell their experiences, "Henry the Bird Catcher? It should be Bavaria, right? What do you have about the pensions for the war dead? ”

"It's Bavaria, the general, you know the name?" Siedek Nord was a little excited when he heard the familiar words, but he quickly suppressed it, which is also his personality trait, and he always seemed very restrained, "When I accepted the lord's call, I was only sixteen years old, and I entered the army in a daze, and I didn't know how the lord stipulated it, but I remember hearing the veterans say that the families of the unfortunate war dead do not have to pay taxes to the lord for five years......"

"Is there no war compensation? For example, a pension? Although he knew that it was impossible, Lao Luo still asked, only five years of tax exemption, life is really cheap.

"I haven't heard of it, it is said that only when the nobles die in battle, the nobles of the upper class will give them pensions, and most of the time there is nothing. Even if a nobleman's family man dies in battle, his family will face bullying from other nobles. Sidenk Nord was always indifferent to others, but for Lao Luo, all he could do was to express it as clearly as possible, because he knew that the purpose of the master's question in front of him was not just curiosity.

After being silent for a while, Lao Luo's voice was a little quiet, "Sideknord, record all the details of this funeral, and find an opportunity to ask for other people's opinions." I will go back and draw up a detailed plan for the soldiers' pension, and in the future, in the East, you will be responsible for monitoring the execution. ”

"......" Siedek Nord has seen a lot of norms and plans that his master often provides, from the very beginning of the training plan, the small norms such as marching discipline, to the current tens of thousands of internal discipline and reward and punishment regulations, there has never been a missing, so it seems that this pension plan is a new thing that has never been touched. Judging from past experience, every such plan will change the group he is currently in, and the next thing he will do is only the most determined executor under the master.

Formulating a pension plan is not Lao Luo's whim, but a long time ago, but because the things in the past six months have been too cumbersome, it has always stayed in his mind, and there are only a few words on the paper now.

At this funeral, seeing the emotions of the people, this pension plan must be advanced, no matter what, whether it is to win people's hearts, improve the cohesion of the team, motivate people and let everyone ensure continuous enthusiasm is the most important.
