Lu Mingde, accompanied by Lao Meng and his second son, went to the Beihua Martyrs' Shrine in the southeast of Duhuadu, and this time he was invited to Huadu to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the Beihua Council as a member of the Beihua Council. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lu Mingde didn't know much about this council, but he knew that all the village chiefs of the first council came here as representatives, and in the future, the council would first set up a county council, and then the Shannan county council would elect eight deputies and representatives from other counties, as well as representatives from Huadu and Fang Mao.

Of course, in the future, the council will gradually be elected by the villagers, and the village representatives will be appointed in a hurry.

As for the authority of the Council, it seems that it can discuss the adjustment of taxes, including commercial taxes and taxes on acres of land, and if the Council does not agree, the Government Affairs Department cannot arbitrarily raise taxes.

In addition, what else, Lu Mingde is just a mess, and he didn't remember it all in the county, Lu Mingde made up his mind, and then looked for someone to ask when he arrived in Huadu.

Although it is not clear, but Lu Mingde is not panicked, he used to be the commander of two thousand people, there is nothing to be afraid of, of course, for what can be negotiated taxes or something, he just laughed at it, when the tax set above can be discussed, it is just a joke, that is, an official article.

Yesterday afternoon came to Huadu, Lu Mingde, who had not been here for two years, was also shocked by the prosperity of Huadu, carved beams and painted exquisite all-wooden houses began to appear, the streets were empty on both sides of the street are now crowded with shops, everywhere is a crowd of people, if not in it, Lu Mingde said that he would not believe that this is the Huadu that was a little deserted and empty two years ago.

After bathing and changing clothes in the evening, early this morning, he, his son, and Lao Meng dressed neatly and marched towards the martyrs' shrine in Huadu.

The Martyrs' Shrine in Huadu is located in the southeast of Huadu, on a gentle slope facing the mountain and water, which is also so selected to prevent flooding.

It's the end of summer, and it's lush here. Wildflowers of all colors adorn the ground.

The main entrance of the Martyrs' Shrine is a large wooden archway, on which are written a few big characters, Chinese martyrs.

In front of the door, the twenty fully armored soldiers of the Broken Army stood solemnly and solemnly, looking extremely solemn.

Perhaps because the councils from all over the world gather here, many people come here to pay respects to their relatives, and many of them come with their families. Many women came out with red and swollen eyes, and some were reluctant to leave after turning around in three steps.

All this made Lu Mingde also feel sour, and he was about to see his old subordinates.

Entering the gate, there is a huge flower bed in front of you, and colorful flowers attract a large swarm of bees to shuttle, which makes people feel solemn and relaxed, and then there is the main hall at the foot of the mountain.

It is made up of more than a dozen rooms, and on the walls of them are the Breakers in Fangmao Denglai, fighting the Anui in North China. The painting of the battle against the Japanese Anui coalition army in South China and Southwest China, the brave fighting army and the stubborn Japanese Anui in it are vivid.

There is a big confession in the main hall, behind which is the statue of the brave Broken Army, and in front there is a confession and a big incense burner, which is full of incense smoke for many years, and is not allowed to be extinguished.

Lu Mingde and his entourage respectfully put on the pillar incense, prayed, and then ran out of the hall to the back.

Along the slow slope, it looks like terraced rice fields. On each staircase are buried the fallen soldiers of the Broken Army.

Lu Mingde and the others walked twenty steps to the right after stepping on the four steps, and came to a marble tombstone. The name of the righteous Hu Quan is written on it, and the tombstone says that in the fifth year of Chongzhen, he fought against the burning and looting Anui people, killed several enemy soldiers, and died bravely.

Lu Mingde and the three of them quickly put on the three animal sacrifices and seasonal melons and fruits, and Lu Mingde personally placed a small incense burner in front of him.

Lu Mingde lit three sticks of incense. pious worship, and then, Lao Meng also offered incense and candles to worship his good partner of the year.

The son finally lit incense and knelt in front of the tombstone,

"Old Hu. Now I let my second son change his surname to Hu and inherit your surname, as your descendant, you can be regarded as a descendant. The son kowtows to your godfather. ”

Lu Mingde commanded.

The second son obediently knelt and kowtowed, he was reluctant at first, but his father persuaded him that without Lao Hu, his father would be gone, and the family would collapse.

"Lao Hu, Lao Meng was rewarded with 20 acres of land for his military merits, and yours was rewarded with 50 acres, but I didn't ask for it, master, I spent money to buy 50 acres of land for the second son, and it will be the Hu family in the future, I hope you will bless the second son in heaven and revive the Hu family."

With tears in his eyes, Lu Mingde finally looked at the tombstone of his old subordinates, and walked towards the outside of the Martyrs' Shrine with the two of them.

The next day, Lu Mingde came to the small square in front of the government affairs department to gather, and he found that a large number of soldiers from the Broken Army were dispatched to surround the square.

Now all the village chiefs in the old district are members of the council, and the new districts such as South China and West China will be the next year, but there are also hundreds of village chiefs in these eight counties who have come to occupy most of the small squares.

At the end of the hour, all the deliberations were completed, and none of them were absent, just kidding, who would dare to be absent from such a big event.

Then, the horns sounded in unison, and several generals wearing bright silver armor came to the front desk together, accompanied by Wan Ji, Gu Wuyue, and Bai Shidi.

Wan Ji respectfully invited a tall military general to sit down, and then held the megaphone of the tin cylinder in his hand,

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of the establishment of the Beihua Council, this is a big day, I hope you don't feel anything today, but today you will remember it in the future. Now, I would like to invite the commander of Beihua, General Zhao Lie and Zhao to speak for you. ”

Wanji took the lead in applauding, and immediately the warm applause below rang out, and it lasted for a long time.

Although Zhao Lie's name is ranked first in Beihua's propaganda, and many old people in Shidao have seen him, but in Beihua for several years, this is the first time they have seen General Zhao, which reminds them that today's good life is all when Zhao Lie and Lord Zhao rescued them from the dire situation and sent them to Beihua, and their lives have become better step by step.

At this time, the applause below lasted for a long time, and many people slapped their palms red, and Lu Mingde was also one of them, although he didn't understand this very well at first.

He became a homeless person from a powerful capital, and finally became a village head, not to mention the grievances in his heart, if it wasn't for the Broken Army, he would still be a high-ranking general on Phi Dao at ease, wouldn't it be extremely fast.

As a result, he became an old farmer in Beihua, although he was a village chief, but he was just a chief, and the resentment in his heart was great, and the key was that his children also lost the opportunity to improve.

But when he heard that Mao Wenlong had been killed and the turmoil on Phi Island was incessant, he was simply very happy, and his experience on Phi Island told him that if Mao Wenlong died violently, the various military leaders below would beat human brains into dog brains for the sake of the big position, and do anything.

Sure enough, the follow-up people ate people, the military families fled to Liaodong, Chen Jisheng and others were killed one after another, all kinds of things came, Phi Island is simply not the most chaotic, only more chaotic, Lu Mingde is happy, at this time he feels that it is really a lucky thing to leave the mudflat and come to Beihua.

At this time, his mood was completely reversed, and now when he saw Lord Zhao Lie again, he was sincerely grateful and warmly applauded, and now applause has become a necessary etiquette for Beihua's welcome.

Zhao Lie got up and took the iron megaphone, and couldn't help but sweat, it was really simple enough, this is the beginning of the council, and it was simple enough.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all old men who pioneered Beihua, and you are also the heroes of Beihua."

After that, Zhao Lie solemnly arched his hand, and the people below hurriedly returned the salute, and there was chaos for a while,

"Although the Broken Army has given you the opportunity to reach this swarthy land, without your hard work, this place will not become a granary of millions of acres of fertile land,"

Zhao Lie shouted loudly, relying on his loud voice, his voice spread all over the square, and everyone listened quietly at this time, they were too willing to listen to this, this is Lord Zhao complimenting them.

Zhao Lie's words are like the company's year-end meeting, no matter how big or small the merit is, shake it out, inspire morale or not, otherwise it is all frustrating, who still works hard, and wants to change jobs.

Of course, these words are popular, who is praised and praised is not beautiful in their hearts.

"But this is not the main merit, your main merit is the banner of my Han people planted in this ownerless land, opening up territory for the Han people, bringing the words and rules of the Han people to this land, and also bringing your descendants acres and unlimited future, from now on, this place is called Beihua, the China of the north."

Zhao Lie's words reverberated in the square, his words made everyone's blood boil, and the warm applause sounded again, this time it was really enduring, and it spread far away.

If Zhao Lie doesn't say it, many of them really can't think of this, yes, they have opened up territory for the Han people, this is the merit of the emperors in the past, and now their children are stationed in the Quartet, they are cultivating on the acres of fields, and this place belongs to the Han people from now on, the banner of the Han people is flying, and the writing customs of the Han people are together.

"Long live Lord Zhao Lie." Lu Mingde shouted loudly in the back, and the people around him also shouted, who let them come here to cultivate, who sent the army to protect them, and who gave the acres of seed rations, not who was the Buddha of the Wan family.

This shout spread more and more, and finally the whole square whether it was a meeting or a soldier shouted in unison, long live Lord Zhao, the voice came far away, and from other places in Huadu also came the echoing shout of Lord Zhao, and the sound shook the whole city for a while.

Zhao Lie proudly stood on the high platform and accepted the cheers of thousands of people, this is what he deserved, he saved the fate of hundreds of thousands of Liao people and Denglai people, gave them a peaceful and prosperous life, he is qualified to accept such cheers, and it is also the biggest capital of his coming to this era.
