Chapter 262: This is the moment

The majestic horn sounded, followed by the sound of the flute, dozens of long tones combined, like a cool breeze in the mountains, straight to the heart and lungs, making people involuntarily tighten their breathing, when on the high platform, a red flag with dense words unfolded, the children's chorus of "National Mourning" echoed in the sky above Qingpu, not only thousands of guards burst into tears, tens of thousands of people around them felt that the corners of their eyes were hot, although they didn't know where this sour feeling came from, but this breath, like a scorching pliers, so naturally led to the pain in everyone's hearts, A hot breath poured into the body, churning in the heart.

"This is the person who has followed me Li Shi and spilled blood on the battlefield for more than three years, and everyone's name is here......"

At the end of the national memorial song, the end note was still lingering in the air, and Li Xian shouted loudly, so that his words could reach everyone's ears. Before taking the oath, worshipping the souls of the dead is a necessary step to condense the morale of the army.

In the past three years, there have been no more than 1,000 victims of Qingtian Siwei, which naturally shows the strength of this army. Because of this, the impression left by each victim is also particularly profound. If you were in Li Shi's enemy, those green battalion soldiers would be killed and wounded at every turn, and the living people would only think that they were lucky, and their impression of the dead would only be empty numbers.

"Their names will always be in our hearts, and they will ......"

Li Xian choked up, he thought of Xu Hanchuan in the early days, thought of the guards in front of Baihualou, who blocked arrows for him, thought of Wang Silian, whose head and neck bones were only slightly implicated when he was dug out of the ground, and Bai Honggu, who was in his arms like Xu Hanchuan, and Zhang Hanjin.

He originally had a natural sense of alienation from the world, not initially being held by Guan Xuan, and not knowing how to integrate into this era. and then determined to rebel, somewhat with a kind of gambling mentality.

But in the past three or four years, he not only has relatives like Guan Xuanyan, Sanniang, An Jiuxiu, who are dependent on each other by flesh and blood, but also the people he is involved in, especially those who are fighting for the waves he promotes, also make him feel more and more connected by blood and bones. As a commander, he can be like iron, throwing his subordinates into the whirlpool of flesh and blood, and when he meditates on it, the pain in his heart is no longer separated by time and space.

At the moment when he lost his mind, the originally neat and tidy guard team also opened up messy ripples, and choked and low sobs scattered with this ripple.

"Say it...... Fourth Brother...... Let's talk about what kind of heavenly dao we hold in our hands, talk about how we are invincible heavenly soldiers, and talk about ......"

Under the high stage, Fan Jin struggled to wipe the pain and depression that belonged to him in his heart, and thought in a low voice, it was time for ups and downs.

"Where will they be!?"

A voice suddenly sounded in the front row of the team, startling Fan Jin's scalp.

It was Zheng Yong, his face was full of tears, his eyes were out of focus, as if he had forgotten where he was, and the only thing in front of him was his son, who had died in battle.

"Is it the wordless tombstone, the way of heaven that requires the general hard work of studying Buddhism, or is it a thin certificate!?"

Zheng Yong shouted loudly, not only Fan Jin was shocked, but beside him, Yan Sanniang, Jia Hao, Wu Ya, Zhang Hanwan and Long Gaoshan and other important guards stared at him, Duan Hongshi, Guan Fengsheng, Tian Dayou, Wu Yaluo, Lin Dashu, He Gui, and even Pan Jinling, An Jiuxiu, Peng Xianzhong, Liu Xingchun and others who were watching the ceremony near the high platform were also shocked.

There was an extremely strange force that suppressed everyone's minds, making it difficult for them to react for a while, and Duan Hongshi felt even more violent, he looked closely at Li Shi on the high platform, when he was in Li Zhuang's inner fort, when he heard him say the three theories of heaven and man, it seemed to be staged again. No, it was even more worrying than then, how would Li Shi react, Duan Hongshi was both worried and expectant, at that moment, his heart tightened, and a black circle seemed to appear in front of him, obscuring other scenes, leaving only Li Xi on the high platform.

"Li Shi! My son's life has been given to you, and my life has been handed over to you, and you will not be afraid of death! There are still regrets! I just want to know, what is the thing we die for? ”

Zheng Yong's chest rose and fell violently, and he shouted loudly with his neck straight.

As if aware of his gaffe, he hesitated for a moment, but since he had already spoken out, he stubbornly shouted out his heart.

"We are just mortals, we can't see through so deeply, we can't see so far, you give us a real thing, so that we can see clearly!"

After shouting, Zheng Yong closed his eyes, and said in his heart, Mr. Li, I'm sorry, the mourning just now, and your shouting, went straight into my heart, and I couldn't bear it anymore. I hope you can handle it well, and I admit how to punish me later.

As the former leader of the Ba Zheng family in Hong Kong, he knew that he was disturbing the morale of the army, which was a taboo that no leader wanted to see.

Fan Jin came back to his senses, this question is not easy for Li Shi to answer directly, he has to come to the top cylinder, and was about to greet the people of the Siwei Military Law Department to drag away Zheng Yong, who had violated discipline, but he heard a series of shouts in the audience.

"Director-General—let's see, what the hell is that!?"

"Director-General—what the hell will our tombstone be written!?"

"Why are we going to die, tell us, Director-General!"

Seeing that the Rulin queue was in chaos, the guards under the high platform took a cool breath, is this a mutiny?

"Don't move ......"

Seeing that Fan Jin, Jia Hao, Wu Ya and others were about to stand up and "suppress", Li Xian shouted in a deep voice and stopped them.

Li Xian's heart was also numb, he didn't expect such a situation at all, just like Duan Hongshi in the distance, he even felt a little bitter in his mouth, which was a sign of extreme nervousness.

Straightening his clothes and holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, which was specially made for this oath meeting, he used to wield a powerful sword, Li Xi stabilized his mind and realized a big problem.

Fan Jin...... Dereliction of duty, not only Fan Jin, Jia Hao, Wu Ya, Zhang Hanwan, these guys who led the troops, also dereliction of duty, they didn't want to bother themselves, concealed the soldiers' military spirit, and let their voices have been suppressed, until this oath meeting, it was detonated by the martyr's sacrifice.

But this is not the time to be held accountable, Li Xian took a deep breath, took a step forward, and shouted.

"I, Li Shi, am here for China and all the people, to wipe away the dark clouds on my head, and let the heavens finish the book! Let the sunshine dispel evil, so that all the people can seek happiness on their own! Whether it is the Heavenly Dao or the Holy Martial Arts, every word and every word I say to you, every order I want you to go to the soup and fire, is for such a future. Is such a thing worth your death? ”

It's worth it, it's worth it, but ...... The guards were silent, they didn't dare to ask any more, although Li Xi was not like the famous generals like Wu Qi in ancient times, who loved soldiers like sons, and did not suck sores and pus for soldiers, but he was like a strict father, supervising them to devote themselves to cruel training, making sharp guns for them, giving them worry-free treatment of food and clothing, and letting them read and write, and learn the principles of being a man and a soldier.

Li Shi gave them a new life, giving far more than they could exchange their lives for. Those soldiers in the green camp who worked hard, there was never a rule for the pension silver, and when they met a kind official, they could have one or twenty taels, and they would thank God for thanking the Bodhisattva.

Not only did Zheng Yong lower his head, but the guards stopped making a sound, and they were all annoyed by their actions.

But one person came out of the queue and smashed his knees on the ground, it was Cai Fei. Li Shi's words swayed in his heart, and the faces of Bai Honggu, Liang Qing, and Zhang Hanjin were up, and then what happened to Liang Qing's house in Foshan made him have a hot current that washed him away, and he only felt that if he had to endure it any longer, the whole person would explode.

Say it! No matter how he punished him after that, Cai Fei felt no complaints or regrets.

"Director-General! How can we afford such a feat!? You give us a ...... A death that we mortals can deserve, right!? ”

He shouted with a flushed face, this is almost everyone's heart, they all looked at Cai Fei with grateful and annoyed complex eyes, and said in their hearts You asked well, but how dare you force the general secretary?

Li Xi was also excited, he was afraid, couldn't he even control what this army thought in his heart?

He stretched out his arms and cried out with heartfelt sincerity.

"You ...... You are all my brothers and sisters, you gave me your life, what else can I not give you? ”

Duan Hongshi on one side was breathing too quickly and coughed, this scene is very familiar, too familiar, but the angle is different, and I don't know what the ending will be in the end.

"What is this doing!?"

In the queue, He Ming couldn't hear anything, but he could also see that the ceremony had deviated from the direction, and the Yao soldiers around him were also red, Pan Shiyu had tears in his eyes, his breathing was turbid, it seemed that something big was happening, so he was so anxious that he pulled Pan Shiyu's sleeve and asked in sign language.

"This is what everyone is talking to the general director...... Talk about business. ”

Pan Shiyu gestured casually, his eyes did not leave the figure of Li Shi on the stage, this is indeed talking about business, even he Pan Shiyu wants to have a real death.

Li Shi's shout echoed in the square, not only the guards could hear it clearly, but also tens of thousands of people outside the stadium heard it, and in the distance, Tang Youzeng's carriage was blocked on the road, feeling that the noise around him suddenly stopped, he also curiously lifted the curtains, rolled down the window, and heard a faint shout.

"Say it! Say what you want! ”

Li Xian shouted this, only to feel that his body and mind were relieved, and the pressure suddenly disappeared, he was calm, he had already faintly thought of it with Duan Hongshi, and realized that this was a very important pass.

Cai Fei gritted his teeth, raised his head and shouted out a sentence, this sentence was like the division between heaven and earth, making the sky and the earth split into two, and it was suddenly clear.

"Director-General, give us ...... One country! ”

This word "country" made the square suddenly silent, and after a long time, it was like a strong wind blowing, and the guards could no longer suppress the desire in their hearts, and they fell to their knees one after another.

"Director-General! Give us a country! ”

The shouts converged, and in the queue, the brothers Jiang Dedao and Jiang Qiudao also felt that their hearts were as hot as fire, and at the same time they raised their voices and shouted with their comrades.

"Let's die!"

This shout seemed to have gathered a turbulent vortex, pushing out the invisible majestic waves from the inside out, pressing the surrounding tens of thousands of onlookers couldn't help but take a step back, and the patrolmen who acted as a human wall also forgot their duties, and stared blankly at the crowd of kneeling people in the square where the red flags were displayed.

"Country!?"

In the carriage, Tang Youzeng only heard the last word clearly, and his face instantly turned pale as snow.

"That's exactly ......"

Duan Hongshi was half bitter, half surprised and sighed, Li Shi, among the three items of people, wealth, and army, one of your army has done too well, it has matured and sprouted first, and now, it has come to you to die for the price, and they feel that it is really worth the price.

"What would you choose?"

Duan Hongshi continued to stare at Li Shi on the high platform, and his pupils seemed to be about to burn the figure.

Hearing the word "country" clearly, Li Xian's face also turned red at that moment, and his mind was in a trance again, and the sound of kneeling down woke him up again, and he looked at his cronies and subordinates under the high platform, including Yan Sanniang, he wanted to see what they thought.

Facing Li Shi's gaze, Fan Jin, Jia Hao, Wu Ya, Zhang Hanwan, and even Yan Sanniang, Long Gaoshan and others, there was still a trace of confusion in their eyes, they had participated in high-level meetings, and they knew Li Shi's overall plan, didn't they say it earlier, isn't it time to pull the flag? Not to mention, Kangxi had just been beaten and was taking the initiative to find the bottom of the stairs to give them more time.

But the guards in the audience knelt down one after another, and the sound of "dead country" made their blood burn.

Why did you die? This matter is very important, for those of them who are already familiar with the Tao of God, even if there is a Heavenly Punishment Society, dying in battle is equivalent to martyrdom, but they still feel that the Tao is too high, the sky is too wide, and they are small and they are in it, confused and hesitant. There is a country that detains this heavenly way, just like a tower that reaches the sky, although it is far from the sky, but touching the sky at the top of the tower, the feet are always steady.

Wu Ya was the first to step out, gasping for breath and kneeling under the high platform.

"Fourth brother, let's die in the country......"

Zhang Hanwan followed, followed by Long Gaoshan, Fan Jin and Jia Hao glanced at each other, and then looked at Si Wei, who had almost all knelt down, sighed, and then stood under the stage, kneeling down together, although they had different thoughts in their hearts, they all felt that they couldn't hide their hearts from Li Xian.

The last is Yan Sanniang, her heart is churning, most of them are angry, she should not have followed these bastards to stand together, they really don't understand Li Xian? He's thinking about you! Now that the fire is insufficient, he has given your kingdom, but how many will you die by then? He is really reluctant, I, Yan Sanniang, have worked hard to pull you into qualified soldiers on the training ground, and I am reluctant to do so!

In addition to the anger, there is also a hint of relief, little thief, what about the rebellion you promised me? Isn't it time to finish this book for me?

She knelt down, and Danfeng's eyes were filled with tears: "Ah, where is your country?" Pull it down from the sky, we'...... It's hard to wait. ”

Li Xi looked around at everyone, only to feel that his heart was surging, he understood, and understood that he had made a mistake.

The whole process of rebellion, the merchants, he lured the grass people, he only wanted stability, while the soldiers, he demanded too much from them, not only for their surnames, but also for their own surnames, pinning their lives on a goal that far exceeded what they should undertake. He taught them to think, but he gave them something that most people would find difficult to grasp by thinking.

Heavenly Punishment Society, in the sky, the Holy Martial Society, in the past, this needs a "weapon" to bear, this instrument is the country, otherwise it will be difficult to stand firm.

The country is such a container, not only can hold the hearts of these people who have learned to think about the value of their lives, but also can hold more gamblers who only seek wealth and glory, but is this not good? Dare to choose his people, doesn't he dare to accept it?

It's just that...... Really well prepared? Is the time really ripe?

Li Xi suddenly laughed, as long as he didn't do it, the preparation would never be sufficient, and the time would never be ripe.

Thousands of people knelt on the ground, Li Xianxin said that he was not a god who controlled everything after all, and the scene in front of him was simply pushed by the tide of history set off by himself, and he could not go against such a trend.

The thought turned, and Li Xian's whole body was hot, why didn't he want to have a country! He thinks longer and more than anyone else!

Li Xi raised his head, looked at the sky, and then pulled the red flag on the high platform with the names of the dead written on it.

"That's what you want!?"

In the ears of the people, his cry was like a proclamation from heaven.

"You want the country, I'll give you the country!"

With a wave of his arm, the scarlet banner was wrapped around his body, and Li Xian choked and pulled out the saber at his waist and pointed diagonally to the sky.

"And now standing on this throne is your king——!

This shout made Duan Hongshi, who was on one side, sweat drenched, and smiled slightly with relief, he said two words, and then these two words were magnified ten million times, completely covering the sky over Qingpu.

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

The guards shouted in groups, He Ming's ears were touched by the turbulent air, he looked at Pan Shiyu who was kneeling on the ground in surprise, and said what was this for, but Pan Shiyu pulled him to the ground.

Looking up, he saw the red flag flying on Li Shi's body, He Ming was stunned, only to feel that Li Xi at this moment was like a god descending from heaven, so awe-inspiring, so sacred.

He bowed down deeply, and said in his heart that he was really such a person, who was worthy of Aunt Pan's thoughts at night, and worthy of his own worship, and following him, he would definitely be able to hold his own blood hatred.

The voices of the guards were higher and higher, and in the crowd, Zheng Yong laughed twice and shouted at the same time. Cai Fei has been rubbing his eyes, but he still doesn't believe that his wish has come true. Yan Sanniang looked at Li Xian's posture in a red robe and wielding a long sword, she was already an idiot, and she felt that even if she died now, she would have no regrets in her life.

On the side of the square, Pan Jinling in the crowd wiped her tears vigorously, and read in a low voice: "This is just the beginning", An Jiuxiu next to her shook Guan Xuan vigorously, although she has always been mentally prepared, but Li Shi finally put up an anti-flag, it is still difficult to believe that it is true. Guan Xuan was stunned by the shake, so he muttered in pieces: "The fourth brother was robbed by them......"

Not only were the guards kneeling in the square chanting, but the patrolmen who were blocking the crowd around them were also cheering, and tens of thousands of people were also shouting, although many of them were just joining in the fun, not knowing what this long live meant. Even the people who were far away in Xiguan and on the city wall were shouting and jumping excitedly, and they didn't know that history had turned a new page, a completely blank page.

Tang Youzeng's carriage arrived at the ground with great difficulty, the door had just opened, and Tang Youzeng was about to get out of the car, when the thunderous shout of long live came to him, shaking his knees weak, and he fell to the ground with a pop.
