Dolgon still did not send troops to attack, and after Lu Haoshan left Sichuan from Qipanguan, he arrived in Ningqiang Prefecture unimpeded.

As soon as he arrived at Ningqiangzhou City, Lu Haoshan saw that it was full of devastation, and as far as the eye could see, it was either a broken wall or a grave quietly piled up on this land, and a gust of wind blew and rolled up pieces of paper money scattered on the ground, which made people feel desolate.

If there is a spirit after death, will this be the most respected tribute of the loyal souls of the underground to the Governor?

I don't know why, Lu Haoshan's mood is very heavy, so heavy that he can't breathe, so heavy that he seems to have an illusion: his feet are on the blood-soaked ground, Sun Xiong and other soldiers are not dead, he must be calling his name loudly, and even there is a lingering smell of blood in the air, looking at the collapsed city wall, the blood-stained stones and the graves all over the mountains, you can imagine the tragedy of the battle that night.

A group of people stood in front of Sun Xiong's grave, standing quietly, no one spoke for a long time, the scene was somewhat touching, and this atmosphere was broken by the appearance of an old face.

"The last general will see your lordship." Lu Haoshan came, and also inspected the battlefield site of Ningqiang Prefecture, and Yan Lin naturally came out to pay a visit.

Nighthawk found Yan Lin, and naturally reported this information to Lu Haoshan as soon as possible, speaking of Yan Lin's affairs, Lu Haoshan knew earlier than Li Dingguo, looking at Yan Lin who had no hand and a depressed face, it was hard to imagine the high-spirited Yan ∧ in his memory, Lu Haoshan knew that Yan Lin was abolished.

The battle in Ningqiang Prefecture damaged not only his left hand, but also his self-confidence and pride, if he couldn't get out of this shadow, then his life would be over.

Thinking about it, Lu Haoshan hurriedly helped him up, and said with a look of self-reproach: "General Yan, please get up, let you go deep alone." is operating under the nose of the Qing army, and it is the official who is sorry for you, sorry for you. ”

"No, my lord, it's our carelessness, it's the villain's fault if we don't keep it, please punish the adults severely." Yan Lin knelt down and wept bitterly.

This is not Yan Lin's pretentiousness, after this battle, he is worse than dead. Now that he is alive, he doesn't want to live up to the efforts and sacrifices of his brothers, and if Lu Haoshan executes him, Yan Lin is still grateful in his heart.

Lu Haoshan helped him up hard, and said with a straight face: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and you can't be blamed for this matter, it is a miracle to be able to blow up the arsenal calmly under that situation and not fall into the hands of the Qing army." If that batch of arms falls into the hands of the Qing army, the consequences will be unimaginable, and you will not only be not guilty, but meritorious. ”

Let's talk about it. Lu Haoshan said loudly: "You have contributed to Sichuan, shed blood and been injured for Sichuan, and sacrificed for Sichuan, these Sichuan villagers and elders will not forget jì, and this official will not forget jì." It's just that one day is my soldier, no matter what, the officer will be responsible for the end, and I will raise what is born. I will bury the dead, and we must not let the dead heroic souls not be able to live in peace. ”

These words were said to Yan Lin, and they were also said to the soldiers present, so that the soldiers had no worries, and only then would they redouble their efforts when the war began.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the soldiers present were moved, and there was more perseverance in their eyes, and many people straightened their chests, even Yan Lin was in tears when he heard it: In order to protect their reputation, many people will put the responsibility on their subordinates when they lose, and let them carry the black pot, but their own adults are just the opposite, taking the initiative to shoulder the responsibility and protect their subordinates behind them.

This is a person worthy of dedication and loyalty, and many people present were moved at once.

Yan Lin knelt down all of a sudden, and said loudly: "My lord, the little one has a request, please fulfill it." ”

"You say." Lu Haoshan said calmly.

The incumbent likes to show generosity and magnanimity in front of the people below, but this generosity and magnanimity are also limited, and if the demands made by his subordinates are too excessive, it will not be tolerated, such as what official he wants to be, how many treasures and fiefs he wants, or the power of the incumbent, then wouldn't it be a mess?

Therefore, Lu Haoshan did not agree immediately, but asked the other party to put it forward first, and then make plans according to the other party's request, so he only said the word "you say", did not agree or deny, leaving enough space, in addition to advancing and retreating freely, he also seemed to be magnificent.

It's a pity that this scheming was a little in vain, Yan Lin said with a serious face: "My lord, the little hope is to guard the tomb for the brothers, but it is still alive, please fulfill it." ”

"General Yan" Lu Haoshan said kindly: "The official will not treat them badly, the person who recruits the tomb has his own arrangements, you will go back to Chengdu, and the official will arrange an idle position for you, so that you can give full play to your spare heat." ”

In the face of Lu Haoshan's kindness, Yan Lin didn't appreciate it, and said stubbornly: "The villain's heart is dead, please fulfill it, otherwise, the little one won't be able to kneel for a long time." ”

Lu Haoshan didn't speak, and motioned to the people on the side to persuade, so Li Dingguo, Tang Qiang and others stepped forward to persuade, that is, Pubu, who was following Lu Haoshan's side, also joined the ranks of persuasion, but unfortunately Yan Lin's heart was as strong as iron, and he refused to let go, and in desperation, he could only temporarily comply with his request.

Wait until the people change their minds in the future.

After letting Yan Lin go down, Lu Haoshan sighed and said, "What a good soldier, the Manchu Qing Dynasty owes us a blood debt." ”

After speaking, Lu Haoshan said with a hideous face: "This blood debt, the Manchu Eight Banners have to use the blood of their entire clan to repay." ”

Tang Qiang looked at the dense graves, and said with some sighs: "Yijin wants to return to his hometown, and he has to go home to beg, and the fallen leaves return to his roots, my lord, after we return victoriously, move the bones of these soldiers back to Sichuan." ”

No matter where you wander, at the moment when your life is gone, what you most want to return to is to return to the familiar and nurturing soil of that side, Tang Qiang's words are also from a good intention.

When Lu Haoshan heard this, he suddenly remembered a poem by Gong Zizhen, and said: "Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned." In this great river and mountain, where the loyal souls cannot be buried, let them rest here, do not disturb their peace, and build a cemetery here, so that the brothers can still be together after death, and can also play a role in vigilance and education. ”

As soon as Lu Haoshan's words came out, everyone expressed their approval, and after some discussion, a large-scale martyr's cemetery took shape.

"My lord, where are we going?" Li Dingguo asked with some curiosity.

Lu Haoshan said without hesitation: "Dingjun Mountain" (to be continued......
