Chapter 219: Martyrs' Shrine

New January, a new journey, cheekily ask for a recommendation vote, thank you again for every brother who reads the genuine version.

……

The two famous cities in the river are on the south bank of the dense water, half of the eight armies in the river are placed on both sides of the dense water, the west side of the fishing city is the Anhua army, the east side is the Longquan army, the front of the sa Mojian is the Fufeng army, and the east is the Lincheng army.

Among the other four armies, the Yanchuan Army, the Xinping Army, and the Huating Army were placed between Wuhushui and Namishui, and the Lantian Army was the only military town located south of Wuhushui.

The order in which this staff drew the circle was quite strange, except for the three military towns that Ma Ling had already visited, the Longquan Army and the Anhua Army were distributed on both sides of the Capture and Drink City, but one was the first to draw one and the last to draw, and the other military towns were drawn in no order at all.

Ma Lan looked at this Anxi Xu official named Fang Wenwen, and knew that he must have his words, otherwise he would not be so unconventional and attention-grabbing.

Fang Wenzhu pen circled the last five military towns in order again, and said solemnly: "General, you already know the situation of the Lantian Army, the Yanchuan Army and the Xinping Army, and the order of the remaining five armies is based on the number of losses on the road of the Fifth Army. ”

"The Longquan Army lost the most Dingkou, nearly 15,000 people, and the Anhua Army lost the least Dingkou, with nearly 10,000 people. The general's hometown son Fufeng Army lost more than 11,000 Dingkou. The Eighth Army in the river lost nearly 90,000 people in Dingkou, with the Lantian Army losing the least. ”

"Ninety thousand!"

Ma Lan's heart twitched suddenly.

Although he was already mentally prepared, this number still made him extremely uncomfortable.

The room became extremely quiet for a while, and the atmosphere instantly became dull.

Ninety thousand Dingkou, even if it is placed in Guanzhong, it is still two Dingkou in Xiaxian County!

In recent years, the Anxi army has won successive battles, scattered in the Tibetan and stirred up the river, and the casualties of the athletes were very few, but the people died so many people in one migration!

"How many fathers and elders of the Eighth Army are there now?" Ma Lan was silent for a long time and asked astringently.

"There are still 360,000." Fang Wen replied.

Ma Lan let out a sigh of relief and nodded silently.

If there are 90,000 less, there is no need to consider the 90,000-person mouth field and Yongye field. According to the calculation of 450,000 people at the time of departure from Anyuanmen, it is absolutely impossible to place the two sides of the dense water and the two banks of the Wuhu River near the fishing and drinking, and it is necessary to open at least three military towns south of the Wuhu Water to advance the location of the migration in the direction of Mulu. It is precisely because so many people have died that there is now only one military town south of Wuhushui, the Lantian Army.

In fact, after only seeing one Lantian army south of Wuhu Water, he should have guessed how much was lost at that time.

Thousands of miles away, immigrating to the river, this road from Anyuan Gate to the river is simply paved with the bones of the people in Guanzhong.

"It's a misery for the people. The distribution of military towns is so crowded, is it enough to divide the eternal industry? ”

After being silent for a long time, Ma Lu said slowly.

"The general can rest assured that the land has been measured a long time ago, and there is enough land in each military town, and most of it is Sawada that can be watered. The materials for the winter are also ready, and there is no problem to survive the winter safely. The Lincheng Army and the Huating Army came the latest, and the place of resettlement was the closest to the Green Mountain, and now they have just begun to build the city. The tents are sufficient, and the people live in tents all the way, and they can get used to it for the time being. ”

Fang Wenwen was an extremely capable official, speaking simply and neatly, without dragging his feet.

Ma Lan nodded and said abruptly, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Several staff members hurriedly surrendered their hands, not daring to do so.

Of the more than 450,000 people in Guanzhong, only more than 360,000 arrived here safely, and two percent of them were lost on the way. Knowing the news, Ma Lan's heart was extremely heavy.

If you want the Han civilization to bloom in this land forever, large-scale immigration is imperative, and the fertile land in the middle of the river can solve the problem of rapid reproduction of Dingkou in Guanzhong, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, but the chaotic life of the Son of Heaven has turned a good thing into a tragic thing.

He wouldn't care about the death of many aliens, and he was extremely uncomfortable with the death of a Han family's son, but this time, more than 90,000 innocent people died!

The fate of the rebellion came from the Son of Heaven, but he was the initiator, and if he hadn't come up with the plan to emigrate to the river, the Son of Heaven would not have such an idea.

Since the opening of the far gate until here, how many souls of the fathers and elders in Guanzhong have been there along the way!

It's really a success.

If it weren't for his persistence, wanting to let the Han civilization envelop this land, these people would be able to live at least even though they were poor in Guanzhong.

And now because of him, hundreds of thousands of people are trekking on the road, and more than 90,000 people are dying on the way!

was full of enthusiasm, but in the end, it caused this situation. Thinking of the scene of the people crying when the Lantian army general outside Anyuan Gate was leaving, Ma Luan's heart was extremely chaotic.

Duan Xiushi and Ma Lan have been friends for many years, and I don't know what he is thinking when he looks at his face, so he reached out and patted Ma Lan's shoulder, and shook his head helplessly.

He was grounded for almost half a year, and he was not able to participate in these things, and it was the first time he knew the news. He was not in a better mood than Ma Lan at all, and he wanted to comfort Ma Lan, but he didn't know what to say.

"Uncle Pony, let's erect a monument!" Niu Xu's eyes were red, and he suddenly said loudly.

"Erect a monument?" Ma Lan was slightly stunned.

"Erect a monument and remember these people! Uncle Xiaoma, Uncle Eight told me that this big migration is not what you meant, this is what the emperor Lao'er meant, and you are carrying the black pot for him! But these people are dead after all! We shouldn't forget them, they are all Han Chinese! Niu Xu gritted his teeth and said loudly.

"What did you say, bastard boy? You're a monarch! Duan Xiushi was startled, looked at Niu Xu and said angrily.

Several staff members also looked weird, they were all people in the officialdom, how could anyone call the emperor of the Son of Heaven, this young general from the fourth rank seems to be the general's son and nephew, but even the general doesn't dare to call the Son of Heaven like that.

", don't lie!" Ma Luan's face was grim and he glared at Niu Xu.

"Uncle Pony, let's set up a monument to remember them! In the future, we will honor them with the blood of foreign races, and comfort them with the news of victory! Uncle Eight and Uncle Lei told me your goal, Uncle Pony, remember them now, and when you lead the army to the edge of the sky in the future, we will come to pay tribute to these people who died in vain! Niu Xu said with red eyes.

Ma Lu looked at Fang Wen and said, "Are there any records of these people's names?" ”

Fang Wenwen nodded and said: "The eight armies in the river are all military towns, and the people are all military registrations, so naturally they all have a base book. There are detailed records of what the deceased was in the village and where he died on the road. ”

Ma Lan nodded heavily and said, "Then set up a monument, let's remember them!" ”

Immediately, Ma Lan shook his head again: "Not only do we erect a monument, we will build an ancestral hall for them here, and the name will be the Martyrs' Shrine!" The people who died on the road this time, as well as the Anxi athletes who died on both sides of the Green Ridge, will be worshiped with incense in the Martyrs' Shrine! We must remember these people, and we must also remember the athletes who died on the battlefield. ”

"Is it right here?" Fang Wenwen asked.

Ma Ling nodded: "Right here, in the Xinping Army." ”

There is nothing else to do for the deceased, but to erect a monument to commemorate them. Those Anxi athletes who died on the battlefield in the river for the Tang Dynasty should also be remembered forever.

The people of the Han family will live on this land for thousands of years, and all those who gave their lives to open up this territory should be remembered here.

"Text, this matter is left to you. At the end of the month, this work was completed, so that the dead people and athletes could be offered blood food. ”

Fang Wenwen nodded: "Subordinates receive orders." ”

……

The Xinping army was not far from the city, but it was only a two-day journey. Ma Lan left Xinping Town with a group of staff members and Qinhua Wang Lu Hao and others, and went all the way to the northeast, approaching the fishing city, and saw that the villages were everywhere, and the Han family was everywhere.

These are not the people of the Eighth Army in the river, this is the first batch of Han immigrants who came to the river, and the settlement formed by those Anxi veterans and their families who have military merits.

After the war around the city, there were not many Sogdians in Angola anymore, and Li Siye rebuilt the city and killed a large number of Sogdians, so he left a large area of fertile land. Most of these fields near the fishing city are sawada, which are the most suitable for farming, and the Anzai soldiers arrived the earliest, and the fields obtained are naturally the best.

The veterans are all elites after a hundred battles, and those who brought over are all young and strong, and there is no loss when they climb over the green mountain. In addition to the Yongye of the mouth, they got more Xuntian, and the Shangzhu countries with the most military merits got dozens of hectares of land, and the less ones also had hundreds of acres of fertile land. The old soldiers are extremely satisfied and extremely grateful to Ma Lu.

The palace of the former king of An in the city is now Ma Lan's residence, Ma Lan arranged Kang Lin'er and Ma Chen in the palace, and he didn't have time to enjoy the joy of family, so he took the bull Ma Yong Ma Qiang and more than 100 personal soldiers to leave the city and go to various military towns to inspect.

The Longquan army on the east side of the city was the one who lost the most people along the way, losing more than 15,000 Dingkou, and now Dingkou is less than 40,000 people. Outside Longquan Town and on the outskirts of various villages, there are large empty graves everywhere.

The Longquan army came late, the town had just been established, the land measurement and distribution had just been completed, and the houses in various villages were being built as soon as possible. The people temporarily lived in houses left behind by the Persians who had invaded the area, and some of them lived in tents temporarily.

The people here did not welcome the arrival of Ma Lan and his party, but seemed quite resistant. Although the good land has been obtained, few people have given Ma Lan a good look.

In their opinion, it was naturally the big traitor Ma Lu who caused them to leave their homeland and their relatives die on the road.

In any case, the death of their relatives is inseparable from Ma Lan after all, and the people have grievances, and Ma Lan can naturally understand. But after all, they have already immigrated here, and the people of the Han family need to be united, and it is impossible to let the resentment persist for a long time.

Ma Luan's choice of method to resolve grievances is extremely old-fashioned, that is, to take his own soldiers to stay in Longquan Town and help the people of Longquan build houses together.

Such a method can only be condemned as a show in later generations, but it is extremely effective in this era of simple people. After five days of hard work with the people in Longquan Town, few of the people called Ma Lu a traitor behind their backs. (To be continued.) )
