377: Distant comrades
'Ah, goodbye friend~~~'
'If I die in battle, you will bury me......
"Stop singing, Lian, what the fuck are you singing about? Why do you sing this song for the New Year? Are you going to mourn? Wang Yaowu jumped up with tears on his face, pointed at the soldiers of the opposite company and scolded angrily. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Listening to Wang Yaowu's angry rebuke, the singing of the series stopped, but no one spoke.
This song is a song written by the emperor himself, and it is said that it is to commemorate the guard platoon soldier who died for him when the foreigners and the Qing court conspired to murder him, and this matter is not a secret among the high-level, but at the grassroots level, there are still many speculative versions.
One of the most reliable versions is to commemorate the guard platoon, and the most direct evidence is that since the establishment of the guard unit, one row in the serial number of the troop has always been only seen but not the troops.
That is, the current First Guard Division, in the two subordinate guard brigades, there is no platoon, like the second platoon, the third platoon, the fourth platoon, or something, they have more or less seen it, but they have never seen a platoon. Moreover, there were five more platoons in the guard division.
And on the roster, a row is always the name of those people, and nothing has changed. In other words, a platoon of guards that had not existed since a few years ago had been taken by the emperor's side, so that this platoon that had died in battle defended him all the time.
In the barracks of the Korean Army, the high-pitched singing has not fallen for a long time, and people's emotions are also confused by this moving singing, and in the distance, Qian Xiaofeng, who is performing the task of standing guard, listens to the slightly sad songs in the barracks, and tears can't stop passing through his face.
This song can be said to have its own sad atmosphere, but anyone who has been on the battlefield, when they hear this song, they always can't control their emotions, even if he used to be a tough guy, he will burst into tears, and some of the perseverance is slightly worse, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as crying.
The lethality of this song is so great that no one can resist it.
It is precisely because of this that under normal circumstances, there are very few people in the army who sing this song, whenever he hears this song, in addition to making the general old men hug each other and cry bitterly, one by one sad to die and live, he really can't think of what is the benefit of this song?
"Shanzi, how are you doing over there? Did the little devil bully you with more people? Qian Xiaofeng looked at the direction of Shanzi's death, muttered in a low voice, didn't care about the tears on his face, forced himself not to cry, and continued: "There are many more devils who have died than us, we can suppress the devils in the world, if you meet the devils over there, you can hold a group with the brothers, and change your stinky temper, don't look like a all day long, you can't let the little devils laugh at us when you get there." You walk slowly first, maybe I'll accompany you later, and don't worry about you below. ”
'Woo~~~'
As soon as the words fell, Qian Xiaofeng's tears were like rain, Shanzi's death was a devastating blow to Qian Xiaofeng, he never accepted it, the Shanzi who grew up with him since he was a child would die, and he died so miserably, if he hadn't recognized Shanzi's clothes, Qian Xiaofeng would never have believed that the one who died was Shanzi.
Qian Xiaofeng and Shanzi belong to the same village, because the two are of the same age, and the family is a neighbor, so the relationship between the two is particularly good.
So he took Qian Xiaofeng to sign up for the army together, and in the end, the two entered the reserve service as they wished, and more than half a year ago, the army was reorganized, and they were incorporated into the Eighth Army, the Sixty Division, which was officially reorganized from the reserve to the regular army, and the military salary was changed from the previous two taels of silver to four taels of silver.
The Royal Army's military pay is divided into two forms, soldiers can choose freely, one is paid directly to the individual soldier, and the other is the government instead of the army, and the pay is paid directly to the family.
However, most soldiers chose to combine the two, that is, they took one tael of silver a month as their expenses, and the remaining three taels of silver were distributed to their families by the local government.
The troops were reorganized into regular troops, which meant that they had to leave their hometowns and move to the new unit's station, and before they set out, the troops gave them two days off, and everyone went home to see and say goodbye to their loved ones.
Qian Xiaofeng and Shanzi also returned home, and there were two other people in the same village with them, but those two were not separated from the two of them, and when they were reorganized, I heard that one was assigned to the Second Army and the other was assigned to the Third Army.
Although they had to stay away from home, looking at the great changes that had taken place in their families during their more than a year in the army, the two finally made up their minds to follow the army.
Now, their military salary is four taels of silver per month, plus two taels of silver per month for war subsidies, but this subsidy is directly sent to individual soldiers, that is to say, now Qian Xiaofeng's monthly military salary is six taels of silver, of which three taels are at home, and he takes three taels himself.
But what if you take more money? People are dead, what's the use of asking for money? Perhaps, their death can make family life better......
"Shanzi, don't always be reckless when you are fighting, hide when you should hide, and come back alive......" As soon as he remembered that when he left home, the eldest lady reluctantly told Shanzi those words at the door of the house, Qian Xiaofeng felt as if he had no face to go back.
When they came out, there were two people, but when they went back, there was only one person left......
A convoy of dozens of carriages came slowly, behind and on both sides of each carriage, there were several soldiers pushing them hard, their faces were tired, but the pace under their feet never stopped, and there seemed to be an inexplicable power pushing them in their bodies.
These carriages were not only carrying their New Year's supplies, but also letters from their hometowns.
The army is only allowed to exchange letters twice a year, not because the control of the troops is too strict, but because the current postal system is far less developed than imagined, and the manpower and material resources spent on a letter from home to the army are far from unimaginable.
In order to control costs, the troops can only send letters to all units in July of each year and within the month of the previous year.
However, the army does not limit the number of letters sent at a time, so most soldiers quickly write down something when they think of it on weekdays, and then wait until they receive the letter from home, write a specific reply, and finally stuff the letter they wrote in front of them into an envelope and send it together.
If the family wants to send a letter, they can only follow the regular channel to carry it out, first send the letter to the local government, and then after the time node, the local government will send the local letter to the provincial capital, because the stationing of the army is confidential, the local government does not know, and the soldier is strictly forbidden to disclose the movement of the army during the service.
Therefore, after the letters arrive in the provincial capital, they will be sorted by the armed forces offices there, in fact, the armed forces offices in various places do not know the specific locations of each unit, so they can only sort according to the first, second, third, and fourth group armies on the envelope, and after the sorting is completed, they will be sent to the group armies, and finally distributed by the group army headquarters and delivered to the soldiers.
If no one in the family knows how to read, it doesn't matter, you can go to the people in the village who know how to read, and if you can't find it, you can also go to the local government offices within the specified time to dictate, and someone will write letters for them, so there is no problem in the communication between military families and soldiers.
In the same way, the process of sending letters to soldiers is the same, but it is reversed, and after receiving the letters, the family members only know which group army they sent them from, but they do not know where their relatives are.
Seeing that the long-awaited baggage team finally appeared, Qian Xiaofeng was a little scared for a while, he was afraid of receiving a letter from his hometown, he was afraid that the eldest mother would ask Shanzi in the letter if he was doing well in the army, and he was afraid that the eldest mother would let Shanzi retire and go home to live a good life.
Qian Xiaofeng knew that there must be letters from him and Shanzi there, and Qian Xiaofeng even dared to swear that at this moment, the last thing he wanted to see was letters from his hometown, because he didn't know how to face his relatives thousands of miles away, and he didn't know how to tell his relatives the news.
"Hey, your kid is really lucky, he didn't come after standing for a long time, he just came to be laid off, tsk, Lao Tzu wants to read the letter, so he can only wait for two hours......" Behind Qian Xiaofeng, there was a sudden joking sound, secretly sighing that Qian Xiaofeng's luck was really good.
"I'll stand for you on this shift, you go back and wait for the letter." Qian Xiaofeng wiped away his tears, turned his head and said to the comer.
"Come on, you, this is already the third shift, the platoon commander asked me to tell you, let you go back quickly." The soldier who took over the post smiled, turned to gently pat Qian Xiaofeng's shoulder, and comforted: "Look away, Shanzi is dead, he sacrificed his life for the country, he died with dignity, he defended his dignity with his life, and defended the dignity of the motherland." Even if many people can't accept this outcome, so what?
This is reality, if you can hide it for a while, can you still hide it for a lifetime? He is a hero, a martyr, since he has died in battle, he has to go home in style, and he can't let him die in glory but can't even go home, right?
Go back and calm down and think about how to tell Shanzi Niang the news. ”
Qian Xiaofeng's heart was stunned, yes, this is a fact, how long can he hide it? Even if he wants to hide it, will the state agree? What to do with the blood money? To whom does this money go? Could it be that because of this, Shanzi's death is unknown?
"Don't let Shanzi Niang know how he died, even if you want to say it, you can say it chicly, the old man can't stand this kind of blow." The soldier reminded with some sadness.
