Li Zhen and Liu Taiping discussed the matter of erecting a monument to the heroes. Immediately asked Ye Cheng to find the stonemason who carved the tombstone in the city, and prepared to carve the names of the soldiers who died in battle. Not only that, Li Zhen also sent someone to inform Huang Shihai and asked Huang Shihai to take the soldiers to choose an address in Guangzhou City as a place to place the soldiers' ashes and tombstones.

One task after another was assigned, and the entire Admiral's Mansion was busy.

In three days, everything was ready.

On this day, the autumn is high and cool, and the sun is shining.

Li Zhen wore a neat military uniform and came to the place where the monument was erected early. A deep pit was dug here, and the ashes of all the soldiers who died in battle were buried underneath. Next to the deep pit, there is a rectangular stone about 5 meters long, about 1 meter wide, and about 80 centimeters thick. The stone was polished and had been engraved with the names of the soldiers who had died in battle.

Around Li Zhen, there were soldiers with serious expressions.

The people knew that Li Zhen had erected a monument today, and they deliberately gathered from all directions.

Time has passed, and it has gradually become the third pole of the sun. There are more and more people around, and this area has been completely occupied. Li Zhen knew that the situation was almost over, his hands were raised slightly, he took a breath, and shouted: "Set up a monument!" As the words fell, the craftsman, who had already been prepared, carried the stele and moved towards the large pit that had been dug.

"Boom!!"

With a loud bang, the stele fell into the pit.

The craftsman standing behind the stele erected the stele with all his might. In a moment, the stone monument about five meters long on this side stood firmly on the ground. The five conspicuous vermilion characters of the 'Heroes Monument' come into view, and when you stand under the stele and look up, you can clearly see the name of every soldier who died in battle on the stele.

The stele was erected, and the surrounding craftsmen filled in the earth.

Li Zhen stood under the stele, raised his head and chest, and said loudly: "Today, the Heroes Monument is erected to commemorate the soldiers and civilians who died in battle to protect Guangzhou, they are heroes. ”

Li Zhen was excited and in a stirring mood.

This historical moment is witnessed in his hands.

"Master Li, my son is Wang Dagen on the stele, and he is the pride of our old Wang family."

"It's a monument to heroes, but we are different in Guangzhou."

……

The surrounding people spoke one after another, and their voices were noisy and noisy, as if it was a busy city. Li Zhen couldn't hear the specific words of the people, but he understood the mood of the people. It's just that Li Zhen's eyes also saw that some of the people were not excited, and there was even disdain on their faces, or a numb look.

Li Zhen knew that there was a long way to go, so he raised his hands again and pressed down gently. In an instant, the people who were talking stopped and looked at Li Zhen with their eyes.

Li Zhen clenched his fists and said loudly: "There are more than 500 people who are sleeping here, and I erect a monument with great fanfare, and some people may say that this is nothing to do, because these soldiers died in battle but failed to defend the city gate, and they are all losers." What I want to say is that they defended the city of Guangzhou with their lives, and it was they who delayed the pace of the Japanese invaders with their lives and bought time for defeating the Japanese invaders. ”

"I would say that they are heroes because they have fought fearlessly."

"Whether they stop the Japanese or not, whether they succeed or fail, they are heroes."

"They gave their blood, they gave everything, and they deserve our respect. A person who does not know how to respect the fruits of other people's hard work, I do not welcome and do not like such a person. I hope that no matter what difficulties and obstacles I encounter, I dare to do it, and I have the courage to do it, this is a well-known tough guy. ”

Li Zhen's expression was sincere, and his eyes stared at the people below affectionately.

Taking this opportunity, he also wanted to change the minds of some people.

The people are simple and lovely, but most people's minds are closed. Li Zhen wanted to change the minds of the people and attract the correct respect of the people for heroes regardless of victory or defeat. In addition, Li Zhen also wanted the people to see his sincerity and true love for the soldiers and the people.

Li Zhen's eyes swept over the people below, shook his fists, and shouted excitedly: "The Heroes Monument has taken root here, and it will be passed down from generation to generation, and the heroes are immortal!" ”

"Heroes are immortal!"

When Huang Shihai heard this, he responded excitedly and loudly.

For a soldier like Huang Shihai, Li Zhen gave enough glory to the soldiers who died in battle, and he was also excited, even thinking that he could engrave his name on the hero's monument after death. Huang Shihai was like this, and the rest of the soldiers were also excited. Their ideas are different from those of the people, and they are more on their own side.

Li Zhen was kind to the soldiers, and the soldiers' hearts felt warm, and they believed that they were with the right person. Following someone like Li Zhen will at least not be regarded as a mustard. They clenched their fists excitedly, raised their fists and shouted, "Heroes are immortal!" When the soldier joined, the sound was deafening, echoing around him.

"Heroes are immortal!!"

Next, the people also joined in, and the sound was higher than the other, which can be said to be the sonic boom of the five mountains. Li Zhen looked at the emotions that were aroused, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Heroes are immortal, and he wants the people to remember them.

……

In the city, Fan House.

In the hall, Fan Kai and Mu Zhongyuan sat at the top of the hall on the left and right, with a faint smile on their faces. Fan Kai took a sip of tea and said meaningfully: "Brother Mu, after Li Zhen arrived in Guangzhou, his shots were amazing. At the beginning, he angrily beheaded Bai Gui, and used Bai Gui's blood to alert the officials and businessmen who colluded with foreigners. Later, he slashed the Japanese with a thousand knives, which frightened those who came into contact with the Japanese invaders. The erection of the Heroes Monument today can be said to have endured the hearts of the people! ”

Fan Kai said with emotion: "Killing people is powerful, grace is higher than the sky, such a combination of grace and power, and the means are skillful and sharp, this young admiral is not simple!" ”

Mu Zhongyuan smiled and said, "Brother, this is a good thing." The greater Li Zhen's development potential, the more benefits we can gain in the process of his rise. ”

Fan Kai smiled bitterly and said, "The old lady reads the newspaper every day, and it's all about Admiral Li. Admiral Li on the left and Admiral Li on the right, who are closer than their sons. I, ah, have been told by the old lady that my ears are almost calloused. ”

"Hahaha......"

Mu Zhongyuan smiled and said: "The old lady is a gracious person, don't you know her old man's temperament?" This is also because Li Zhen can be regarded as a good official, so the old lady cares so much. ”

Fan Kai nodded, changed his words, and said, "Brother Mu, let's get down to business." I think the scale of the money bank is too small, although it can be profitable, it is not my pursuit, I want to go further. ”

Mu Zhongyuan put away his smile and asked seriously, "How can you go further?" ”

Fan Kai said: "I plan to learn from foreigners to open a bank, so that we can raise funds on a large scale, and we can call it a daily income." Concentrate the financial resources of the whole Guangzhou and make the business bigger. ”

Mu Zhongyuan squinted his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "This is a big move, let me think about it." ”

Mu Zhongyuan fell into deep thought, but a housekeeper quietly walked in.

The housekeeper whispered a few words in Fan Kai's ear, Fan Kai raised his eyebrows, waved his hand to let the housekeeper leave, and said solemnly: "Brother Mu, Admiral Li is here, let's go to greet him." ”

"Don't, I'm not suitable, stay out of the way."

Without waiting for Fan Kai to refuse, Mu Zhongyuan quickly bypassed the corridor and walked towards the side room.
