322 Invalids Farm Martyrs' Shrine

(There's another chapter.,Ask for a monthly pass.,Monthly pass, a god's)

The group got on the horse, believed in the horses, and said as they walked, and when they arrived at the Jingnan camp, Lian Zining also knew almost everything about Liu Liangchen's work during these days.

The Jingnan camp has changed its appearance at this time, and on the outside of the camp, those dwarf trees and weeds have been cleared, and a large piece of ground has been leveled. On the periphery of the camp, a tall wooden fence was built to enclose the whole camp. The camp is more than ten miles square, and the scale is much larger than that of Leling County.

On the periphery of the camp, relying on those undulating hills and mounds, watchtowers and watchtowers were built, and on the outside of the wooden fence, a moat was dug two zhang wide and nearly one zhang deep, and I don't know where the living water was drawn, and the whole moat was also turbulent.

Watchtowers, watchtowers, moats, and wooden fences constitute a complete defense system.

In the interior of the barracks, the overall specifications have generally not changed, but at the back of the original barracks, three columns of barracks have been added on each side, and a large square with a radius of several miles has been leveled out at the south gate of the barracks, constituting a large school field that is incomparably wide.

And to the north of the barracks, near the presidential palace, there is also a small courtyard with a slip, which seems to be as many as hundreds, densely packed, forming a vast square area. It was about a mile or so away from the barracks, and several rows were planted to separate the two.

Everything else, for the most part, is unchanged.

In September last year, Wu Yijun went out to fight against the white-robed army in Zhengyangmen, and only came back in May this year, after a long absence of half a year, seeing this familiar scene at this moment, those veterans who had stayed here showed excited and excited looks on their faces, and those recruits recruited in Shandong were more novel.

Liu Liangchen said with a smile: "The pattern of this big camp has changed a lot, but I am afraid that the officers and soldiers will not be able to find the barracks, but the adults have sent a message, and the subordinates have allocated the barracks according to the establishment according to what the adults said in their hearts. ”

After accusing Lian Zining of a crime, Liu Liangchen sent out the dragoons under his command, apparently it had been arranged before, and they were very skillful in running to the queue, shouting loudly, and bringing their respective thousands of households to their barracks.

Seeing the orderly movements of the troops, Lian Zining nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Liangchen came back and explained to Lian Zining one by one: "Your Excellency, you see, the specifications of the barracks have not changed, but a total of six columns of 1,200 barracks have been built, and these barracks together are enough to accommodate more than 15,000 people, and we are more than enough." There is also a canteen, which is also a surprise expansion, enough for 10,000 people to eat in it at the same time, and the master of the canteen has also invited fifty more, and the man, also added a hundred, which is enough for manpower. Look at this school field, the land has been leveled, even if it rains a few times, it will not affect the exercise. ”

He pointed to the small courtyards next to the presidential palace, and said: "I heard that our Wu Yijun has recruited a large number of soldiers, and now it has expanded to 8,000 people, and the number of officers must have increased greatly. It's a set for two people. (.la No pop-up ads)"

Lian Zining raised his eyebrows, looked at Liu Liangchen with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Yes, Liangchen, now you have learned to draw inferences." ”

These separate small courtyard-style buildings have already had the prototype of some family courtyards in later military regions, all of which are divided into residential areas according to levels, and the housing areas and facilities are also different according to the level, and he has never mentioned this matter, but he didn't expect Liu Liangchen to touch the bypass, but he made it out by himself.

Liu Liangchen smiled and was modest again.

At the back of the barracks, on the north side of the large school field, there are two independent courtyards, both of which are very large, one large and one small. Liu Liangchen pointed there and said: "The larger one is for the women who were plagued by the white-robed army, and the smaller one is the Ordnance Bureau, according to the instructions of the adults, there is a huge training ground behind the Ordnance Bureau, which is enough to use." ”

Liu Liangchen laid out the planning of the entire camp one by one, and the living quarters, training areas, and residential areas of the camp were well divided and very clean and clear, and they were distinguished by wide avenues and tall trees.

Lian Zining kept nodding his head and asked, "How much silver did these cost?" ”

Liu Liangchen was a little panicked, and said: "If you go back to your lordship, because of the huge scale and the lack of soldiers as labor, you have spent a lot of money, and you have spent a lot of 100,000 taels of silver!" ”

Lian Zining laughed and said, "Only 100,000 taels?" The official thought that it would cost 200,000 taels anyway! You've done a good job. ”

Liu Liangchen is relieved.

Lian Zining saw from a distance that beyond the camp, across the moat and a small forest, it seemed that the original wasteland had been mined and turned into fertile land, and there seemed to be people cultivating in the fields, and in the distance, there were patches of houses, which seemed to be a small village.

When did a small village appear outside the big camp?

Lian Zining asked, "Liangchen, what is there?" ”

Liu Liangchen hesitated for a moment and said, "Invalids Farm." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lian Zining's face immediately turned dark, and the people around him also fell silent, since the formation of the Wu Yi Army, several major battles, quite damaged, Lian Zining treated the brothers who died in the war very kindly, and took their parents, wives and children together, established the Invalids Farm, and sent them to the cultivated land. In addition, there are two taels of rice, flour and silver every year, which is enough for them to live a very privileged life.

In this battle of Fuso, not a single ordinary soldier died, while the dragoons killed twenty-eight people. Their coffins are in the carriage behind, and every time I think of them, it also makes people's hearts sad.

Liu Liangchen carefully explained: "My lord, the ground near this military camp is all ownerless wasteland, but in fact, it is very fertile, and it is marked for people to reclaim and distribute to them to live, and most of these military widows are old and weak, women and children, and it is safe to live closer to our camp." And,"

After a pause, he said, "They say they would prefer to be closer to their children, where their husbands used to live." ”

Lian Zining was silent when he heard this, and only after a long time did he pat his hand, turned around and said, "Take the coffin of our brother who died in Fusang and go to the Invalids Farm!" ”

The distance between the camp of Jingnan and the Invalids Farm is not far, but it is just across a river and a forest, and it will be there soon.

On the way, Liu Liangchen said: "We have killed a total of 573 brothers before and after, but many brothers are orphans who were displaced here by the Henan disaster, some have no parents, and some have not started a family, so we have found a total of 247 old people, as well as 70 widows and 93 children, all of whom have been taken over, a total of 200 families, and each family has been divided into fields and houses. By the way, there are also some brothers who are seriously injured and disabled who don't want to stay in the army anymore and live here. ”

An avenue with cultivated land on both sides, and at the end of the avenue is the entrance to the village.

Seeing such a group of people coming from afar, the village knew that there were people who could not come, and a large number of people had gathered at the entrance of the village to greet them, and they were close, Lian Zining saw it really, and most of the people who greeted them were old and weak women and children, among whom there were only more than ten middle-aged men, who were also crippled.

Liu Liangchen dismounted and said loudly: "Fathers, this is our President Lian of the Wu Yijun, and his old man has come to see you." ”

A large group of people at the entrance of the village knelt down under the leadership of an old man, and said loudly: "I've seen Master Lian!" ”

Lian Zining only felt a sour heart, his eyes couldn't help but heat up, tears almost rolled out, he quickly turned over and dismounted, helped the old man up, and said loudly: "Everyone, please get up, Lian Zining deserves to be worshipped!" ”

Everyone saw that this adult was kind and didn't have any arrogance, so they were a little nervous.

When everyone got up, Lian Zining suddenly took two steps back, slammed it to the ground, and said loudly: "Fathers, Lian Zining is sorry for you!" Lian Zining is incompetent, and he has not been able to bring back your children, your husbands, and your fathers! Lian Zining, incompetent! ”

Later, I was choked.

The crowd was silent for a while, then burst into a low cry, and after a while, they were all crying.

The scene was immersed in a sad and desolate atmosphere.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry! Today, even the master should be happy to come to see us, don't cry! After all, the old man at the head was accustomed to seeing the wind and rain, and after a while, he greeted everyone loudly, he obviously had a high prestige among the people, and after listening to his words, the crying gradually stopped.

He said to Lian Zining: "Master Lian, the grass people have seen the eldest master in the third child, and because of the trust of everyone, he is promoted to be the villager of the village. ”

Lian Zining smiled: "It depends on getting old." ”

He pulled Yu Lao and walked towards the crowd, Jiang Li Ye Nai just wanted to follow, Lian Zining glanced at her, shook her head, and her movements stopped.

Lian Zining walked into the crowd, said a few words to this one, chatted with that one, and soon, the fear in the hearts of these people was dispersed, and a smile appeared on their faces, and Lian Zining talked and laughed, but it was very harmonious.

Shi Dazhu said with a smile: "Our adults are really close to the people. ”

Liu Liangchen sighed: "That's because adults feel guilty about them, these days, there are not many good officials like us." These days in the capital, I have heard a lot of people, saying that some officials have embezzled the land of the soldiers, forced the soldiers to death, and occupied his wives and daughters. ”

Shi Dazhu said angrily: "You and I are blessed, we have a good chief, by the way, brother, I haven't told you yet, brother, I am married, you have to take the money with you tonight, I will let your sister-in-law have a whole table of wine and food, please drink!" ”

Not to mention that the two of them were whispering here, Lian Zining over there was already asking with a smile: "How is it, now that life is still comfortable, how much money have you paid?" Is the house comfortable? ”

Yu Laosan smiled and said: "We are blessed, we have a good lord on the stall!" At the beginning, our family gave us a hundred taels of silver, and I have never seen so much money in my life! I moved here again, and the house I lived in was also big, and it was open and clean, a hundred times stronger than my original broken grass house, and I was given 50 acres of land, and I didn't have to pay rent. A few days ago, I was given five taels of silver and ten stones of rice, and my wife, daughter-in-law, and grandson couldn't eat these! Now there's meat in every meal! I've gained a few pounds! ”

Lian Zining asked the others again, and it was a similar statement, and after making sure that they were not lying, he was relieved. Whether the policy is good or not, it is good if it can be implemented well, as a guest of later generations, he understands this truth better than anyone else. He felt guilty about the families of these war dead, and he didn't want them to be wronged a little!

Then the group went inside, the roads in the village are paved with bluestone slabs, it is very clean, the residents are also a single courtyard of a family, all of which are built with green bricks, a very large yard, five green tile houses, red walls and green tiles, it looks very warm and comfortable. There are also side rooms, and some people also raise pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc. at home.

The more Lian Zining looked at it, the more satisfied he became, in short, everything in this Invalids Farm was built according to his own ideas, and it was not discounted at all.

Walking to the other end of the village, I saw three houses, all with large windows and no yards, and the neighborhood of these three houses was very quiet. Looking through the window, there were many small stools and tables in this room, and Lian Zining suddenly realized that this was naturally the school.

"Elder Yu, can you ask Mr. Teach?" Lian Zining asked.

"Yes, yes!" Yu Laosan beckoned behind him, and a young man who looked very shy walked over, about twenty years old, very delicate and elegant, wearing a square scarf and a green robe.

Yu Laosan pulled him and said, "This is a nephew of the grass people, named Yu Fangzheng. Come on, Fangzheng, don't come and see the adults yet. ”

His expression was very restrained, and he saluted Lian Zining and said, "Student Yu Fangzheng has seen adults!" ”

Seeing him, Lian Zining seemed to see himself that day, and couldn't help but feel in a trance, woke up, and quickly waved his hand and said, "Get up, no need to be polite." ”

He said: "Yu Fangzheng, are you from Xiucai?" ”

Yu Fangzheng nodded: "The student is a fifty-year Shuntianfu Xiucai in Zhengde, because his family is poor, he is teaching and studying here. ”

Lian Zining nodded and said: "Education is a big deal, these children are the children of my brothers who died in battle, you must educate them well to become talents, so that they can understand the truth of being a man." ”

Yu Fangzheng saluted: "The student will definitely live up to the trust of the adult!" ”

He hesitated for a moment, pointed to the empty plaque on the school, and said a little embarrassed: "My lord, I have heard that the willow body of the adult is a must, I don't know if I can appreciate the light, and propose a name for this school?" ”

Lian Zining laughed: "What's so difficult about this!" ”

He ordered someone to take off the plaque, Yu Fangzheng was overjoyed, and quickly brought the pen and ink, Lian Zining thought about it for a while, dipped it in the pen and ink, and wrote down three words: "University Hall!" ”

"Good words, really good words!" Yu Fangzheng was fascinated, but he didn't care that Lian Zining was still here, he entered the school with the plaque, took out the pen and paper and copied it.

Yu Laosan was a little embarrassed, but Lian Zining didn't care, just said: "Let's go, go to the Martyrs' Shrine!" ”

The Martyrs' Shrine is in the westernmost part of the village, and it is also the closest direction of the village to the Jingnan Daying.

This is a temple, built with bluestone, not so brilliant and magnificent, but it is heavy, simple, and wide, just like those men in life.

Entering the main gate, there is a courtyard, which is full of locust trees, which sets off the place more and more solemnly.

Walking into this, everyone couldn't help but relax their steps.

The main entrance of the main hall is open, and the inside is neat and spotless. On the offering table in the middle of the main hall, hundreds of spiritual positions are placed, and these spiritual cards are placed neatly, and they are also very clean on them, and there is no dust.

In front of the offering table, there was a brazier, and behind it were several futons, and in the brazier there were embers that had not been contained, and I don't know if it was the surviving person of the family, who had just worshipped here.

Lian Zining waved his hand, and everyone stayed outside the hall.

He walked in alone, stopped his steps, and stood there quietly, looking at these spiritual positions, as if he saw those brothers, smiling honestly and honestly at himself. It was as if they were on the battlefield, wielding swords and guns, fighting bravely to kill the enemy. It seems that before they die, their eyes are full of unwillingness.

"Brothers, I'm here to see you!" Lian Zining stepped forward, pressed his hand on the offering table, and muttered in a low voice.

"I'm sorry for you for taking you out, but not bringing you back!" Lian Zining's voice was low, revealing the memory of the deceased: "However, you have also seen that your parents, wives and children are now living happily, and you should also be happy in the spirit of heaven." ”

Lian Zining slowly knelt down on the futon, took out the yellow paper that had been prepared long ago from his arms, rubbed it with his fingers, put it in the brazier, and lit it.

In the rising flames, Lian Zining kowtowed to the ground, and there was a sound.

"Brothers, Izumishita, rest assured!"

"Brothers, Izumishita, rest assured!"

Behind him, kneeling down, there were already people who couldn't cry.

Because there were already a few dragoons, holding twenty-eight spirit cards, came here.

In the back, there is a continuous cemetery. This is a very large mound, at this time there are already a lot of graves built on it, more than a zhang high tomb, grass grows vigorously, green pines are planted around, and there are stone carved tombstones in front.

In this era, for civilians, this is an out-and-out thick burial. Even if Lian Zining didn't do anything but built such a grave for the soldiers who died in battle, their families would be very grateful.

New tombs are being excavated, and 28 coffins returned from Fuso Fubo are being buried.

Lian Zining didn't go, he didn't dare to go, he was really afraid of himself, and he couldn't help crying.

And now, as the commander of an army, he can't be so weak.

His heart, in fact, is sometimes very soft.
