269 Memorials

PS: Thanks for the monthly pass of Lonely Lonely 55, thank you!

Hu Guang has always been very busy, there is almost no time to rest, and there are too many things to care about.

For example, he found Hu Kuan and Ulan, and asked them to secretly instruct the soldiers of the Heavenly Army to chat more with the people of the original eagle's beak ditch in peacetime and in private, so as to promote the integration of the two sides and assimilate them.

For example, he summoned the revolutionaries and asked them to publicize the ideas and program of the revolutionary party, so that more people could better understand the revolutionary party.

For example, he called the four children and the maid and reprimanded them. I can't learn on the way to the march, and now I have reached the eagle's beak ditch, so I must study every day, play a good role, and let as many people as possible know how to learn pinyin literacy.

……

On the fourth day of arriving at the Eagle's Beak Valley, the simple dwellings converted from vehicles had been built along the foot of the opposite hill, and the materials that had been piled up in the small square had been transferred to a simple warehouse deep in the valley.

At this time, all the soldiers of the Heavenly Army were full of concentration in the small square. The atmosphere at this time was not the same excitement and joy as in the previous days, but heavy and sad. Because this day is the burial day of the soldiers who died in battle.

On the side near the Hall, there are five rows of brand-new coffins, a total of ninety-six. This is the sum of the soldiers who died after the Heavenly Army left the customs and the number of people who died in the last battle of the Eagle Beak Valley, of which the soldiers of the Heavenly Army accounted for the vast majority.

Hu Guang stood in front of the Juyi Hall, surrounded by rows of core leaders behind him, his face was solemn and solemn, and he looked at Hu Guang without speaking.

In the past, it was customary for those who died in battle to die, especially those soldiers, who were at most wrapped in straw mats and buried. There are even many soldiers, who are killed in battle, and no one cares about the corpses, and the corpses are in the wilderness. The lives of ordinary people. For many in power, it's not life at all!

But Hu Guang was different, he insisted on holding this ceremony. Even if the materials are not abundant, the manpower is insufficient, and the waste is waiting to be rebuilt, the manpower is still transferred. A coffin was made for everyone who died in battle.

Hu Guang slowly swept over everyone in the square, and said solemnly: "We are still alive today, and we can still stand here unharmed, and we can break through many obstacles and defeat several times the enemy, because of the unity and joint efforts of all of us; It is the soldiers who died in battle here, risking their lives at risk. Won for us. ”

"Originally, many of them could have been immortal. Just like Zhang Gouzi and others, they have tried their best, and the fact that they were injured is their proof. However, in order to keep more of us alive, they chose to die, and used their lives to die with more enemies. ”

"People will eventually die, and some will be lighter than a feather. or die of illness, or freeze to death. or starvation to death, etc., but there are also sacrifices heavier than Mount Tai, they are using their lives to pave the way for others to live better, to have a hope for the future of our people, to create a new country where we people can be the masters of their own ......"

There was not the slightest sound in the square except for the cold spring breeze blowing the big flag on the flagpole that "walked for the sky". The demeanor of the people is focused and serious. Listen carefully to Hu Guang's words that they had never heard before.

These words made them realize that death is so different, and death can have so many meanings! Faintly, they suddenly felt as if death was not such a terrible thing.

"Everyone they are lying here is worthy of us. Worthy of us. Their sacrifice cannot be sacrificed in vain, our ambition has not been completed, we need to be like them, throw our heads, shed blood, even if we sacrifice our own lives, we must work hard to complete our ambition, and build a country where our people can be the masters of their own affairs! ”

Hu Guang clenched his right hand and raised his fist, solemnly and extremely solemnly proclaimed: "I, Hu Guang, hereby swear to them that I am willing to use the rest of my life and my blood to fight for the establishment of a country where the people are the masters of the country, even if I sacrifice my own life, I will not hesitate to do so!" ”

The firm and powerful voice is like a morning bell and a dusk drum, resounding in the late Ming Dynasty, stirring up waves in the ears of these ordinary people.

The revolutionaries were familiar with this move, and they had done the same before. Seeing Hu Guang swear at this time, they all clenched their right fists, raised them high, and solemnly followed the oath: "...... I am willing to spend the rest of my life and my blood to fight for the establishment of a country where the people are the masters of the country, even if I sacrifice my own life! ”

This solemn oath hit the hearts of the people present. Many young people and children were excited, their faces turned red, and they imitated Hu Guang and the revolutionaries, and expressed the same meaning in their own words.

People live a lifetime, and they always have to do something meaningful. What is so terrible about dying, as long as you live meaningfully, you will be a man again in eighteen years! I really don't believe it, those government masters and head men can always ride on the necks of the common people!

The old people are very emotional, but also a little regretful, why they are not born a few decades late, this life is really in vain, live to the dog, nest for a lifetime, the rest of the time, must do things with heart, follow the son to do things!

Hu Guang looked at all this, and his heart was also a little excited. He loudly declared: "In the future, as long as the Heavenly Army exists, all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Heavenly Army and the comrades who sacrificed for our aspirations will enjoy our offerings." They are our martyrs and our examples, and each of them will be remembered by our descendants, and their spirit will be immortalized! ”

After finishing speaking, Hu Guang solemnly raised his hand and saluted, paying tribute to these revolutionary ancestors who died at the end of the Ming Dynasty!

Many people don't understand some of the words in Hu Guang's words, but it doesn't prevent them from understanding Hu Guang's meaning. Originally, the soldiers of the Heavenly Army first raised their hands and saluted solemnly, and then the people of the eagle's beak ditch also raised their hands to salute, and all the people, regardless of whether they understood the meaning of the salute, raised their hands and saluted to express their respect.

At this moment, there is no distinction between men and women, old and young, there is no distinction between the heavenly army and the eagle's beak ditch, there is no heart of fame and fortune, only a heart of respect for the sacrificed soldiers.

Hundreds of captives watched the memorial ceremony from the sidelines, all of them showing mixed feelings.

After the ceremony, Hu Guang waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "Bring it up!" ”

At the back of the Juyi Hall, two soldiers called the Heavenly Army in a group, dragging three people with their hands on the back, came to the front of the Juyi Hall, faced the coffin, and knelt down in front of everyone. (To be continued......)
