Chapter 248: Xu Bin came to worship the heroic spirit
All countries are aware of the successive victories of the East China Army in the battles against the Sun Country and the Ice Bear Country. Xu Bin's unification of Longhua is only a matter of time, and as for the restoration government of Xiyi, it is even more panicked, for fear that when the East China Army will transfer its guns to deal with them, the princes and nobles in exile in other countries will increase for a while.
Faced with this kind of situation where he didn't start fighting, he was in chaos, and Su Zhenxiao, who restored the dynasty, was also completely disappointed. If it weren't for the people who couldn't rest assured that Xiyi, he really wanted to be a monk like his cousin and find a quiet place. At this moment, he really understood why his cousin told him that it was actually easier to live as an ordinary person.
Since ancient times, ruthlessness has been royal, and these royal children have been suppressed by various missions since they were born. Although the palace where they live eats the delicacies of the mountains and rivers, they live extremely unfree. The words of royals made them completely lose their freedom from ordinary people.
It is said that the Longhua Dynasty was overthrown by revolutionaries, and his cousin believes that it was defeated by members of the royal family and these princes and nobles. Even the few members of the royal family with new ideas were completely lost their power by these princes and nobles who controlled the government and enjoyed a luxurious life.
After the downfall, they finally lived a comfortable life, but they healed their scars so quickly and forgot the pain, this typical attitude of repeated teachings undoubtedly made Su Zhenxiao completely disappointed in these princes who had blood relations. Warned his troops that no matter how the situation in Longhua changed, they were absolutely not allowed to mess up their positions before the East China Army attacked. This stabilized the army a little, and the situation was about to be defeated.
The first thing the East China Army that recovered Heihe Prefecture and Jizhou did was to rebuild after the war, and at the same time let the people who had left before return to the city one after another. Some of the houses of civilians who were destroyed in the war, as long as they can find proof that the house was theirs before. It was also broken in the war. The new government of the East China Army will help with manpower and material resources.
This kind of preferential treatment to prevent the people from being homeless has undoubtedly allowed the people in both places to enjoy the warm atmosphere of returning to the big family. In cooperation with the new governments of the two places, we will strive to build the two places into rich and beautiful homes in Beiyi again at an early date, and at the same time, the trial of traitors and lackeys will be carried out.
During the Japanese occupation, the new government adopted the method of public trial of the puppet army and puppet government officials who cooperated with the Japanese army in suppressing the people. Listen to the opinions of the local people, and mercilessly execute those who the people unanimously believe should be punished. For some of the people, they thought they were hateful. However, those who do not commit a crime that causes death will be given re-education through labor, and after serving for a period of time, they will be released according to the situation of reform.
And some of the puppet officers and soldiers who were oppressed and had to join, the new government was relatively tolerant and let them make an open daoqian. Allow him to return to his homeland and start anew. For a time, the people were concerned about this kind of harshness and tolerance at the same time. Undoubtedly, I agree with it.
In Xu Bin ordered the captured Japanese army and the Ice Bear Army. The work of renovating the roads in both places began, and some large-scale manpower works were also handed over to these captives. Anyway, at present, neither the Sun Country nor the Ice Bear Country have greeted him about the captivity. What's more, Longhua and the two countries are still in the period of national war, and letting them eat dry rice, Xu Bin asked himself that it was too extravagant.
Only the Japanese prisoners of the hundredth 1st Division who were captured in the bear hunting ground. During this time, he was kept in a barracks prison outside the city of Jizhou. What awaits them will be a battle of life and death for Zuihou, and those who win can escape life, and those who fail will always stay here to repay the blood debt owed to the officers and soldiers of the Third Division of the former Jizhou Army.
Wang Erscar, who was originally a military commander, did not agree with this kind of competition to determine life and death. But when he saw Li Xiaoren and the other grimace guards, saying that they would never be at peace if they didn't take revenge, they finally fed back this situation that sounded a bit childish to Xu Bin.
For a group of Japanese troops who could break through by themselves, Li Xiaoren and others wanted to prove their determination to fight together forever with the brothers of the Third Division in this way, Xu Bin considered it comprehensively and decided to approve Li Xiaoren's request for a contest. Anyway, Xu Bin understands that if a person lives, if his heart is dead, it is better to die early!
This is a mark of shame on the heads of Li Xiaoren and others, and if it is not completely erased, I am afraid that these soldiers will really not be able to calm down. It's just that Xu Bin ordered to build the martyrs' cemetery of the Jizhou Defense Battle in advance in the blocking position where the soldiers of the Third Division died. The remains of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who died in battle of the Third Division, as well as the relics of the volunteers who died here in battle, are also buried here. Let them be able to enjoy the sacrifice of the people of Jizhou forever in the future.
In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the officers and men of the First Division who stayed in the prison during this period ate and slept warmly every day. It seems that everyone knows that this kind of life is just a kind of enjoyment before death, and the purpose is also to ensure that they are in the competition. It will not make people feel that they are hungry and unable to walk, so as to lose the sense of fairness.
The same Li Xiaoren and the grimace guards practiced their swordsmanship day and night during this time, and they were on the day of the competition. They will use the ghost knives they used to go up the mountain and recruit people from the bandits, and slash these prisoners of the First Division to death. Although the ratio of their numbers is close to 1 to 10 compared to each other. But Li Xiaoren and the grimace guards were not afraid in the slightest, and the shame of not being able to die with their comrades made them survive and hardly slept a day.
After a cemetery dozens of meters high and engraved with the names and tombstones of countless fallen soldiers, it was erected in less than half a month. The people who returned to Jizhou City knew that they were able to escape the hunt of the little devils back then, and it was largely thanks to the resistance of these dead soldiers.
Therefore, after the establishment of the martyrs' cemetery, the common people came here to carry out the inauguration ceremony of the cemetery. In particular, many people in the city have just participated in the defense of Jizhou City, and the Jizhou First Division and the memorial hall of the tens of thousands of people in the city who were ruthlessly killed by little devils were completed, knowing that this is a tradition that remembers history and must be passed on to their descendants from generation to generation.
In a sense, Xu Bin promoted this heroic deeds of protecting the family and serving the country, and kept up with the idea that he would be beaten if he was backward. Instill in the people that if you want not to be bullied, you can only be better than others. If you want to protect your homeland, you must respect the minds of soldiers.
Only when these thoughts are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if he is not there in the future, I believe that this arrogance integrated into the bones of the Longhua people will also make those countries that dare to offend Longhua again, and they must also consider the consequences of angering all Longhua people. Uniting as one is a quality that a nation that has grown up from the flames of fire must have.
On the day of the inauguration of the martyrs' cemetery, the blocking position of that year had been guarded by the officers and soldiers of Li Xiaoren's department. The new government of Jizhou sent a wreath to pay tribute to the martyrs who died for Jizhou. Many people from good families also spontaneously sent money to send wreaths here.
Seeing that these wreaths occupied the steps of the martyrs' cemetery, Li Xiaoren and the grimace guards who arrived here in advance were tied with white cloth strips on their arms at this moment, so as to show their unique relationship with the officers and soldiers of the Third Division. Until an elite cavalry guard arrived, Wang Erscar, who was also standing in the cemetery, said with a bright look in his eyes: "Why is the boss here!" ”
For these generals who came out of Heifeng Village, they would call Xu Bin the boss in private. As soon as these words came out, the generals standing beside him were undoubtedly shocked, and the commander-in-chief rushed from Dragon City. This news is undoubtedly shocking!
When the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the entrance of the cemetery saw the major officer of the guard division who was leading the horseback on horseback, he told him that the young soldier who was protected in the crowd behind him and dressed without military rank was their immediate superior, Xu Bin, commander of the East China Army. The herald, who was in charge of carrying out the guards, was also taken aback.
didn't wait for him to run back to report, but saw Wang Erscar and his party running down the steps of the cemetery quickly to greet him. With Xu Jiacheng, who was close to Xu Bin, he gave an order, 'Get off the horse!' ’
All the personal guards were like a person, dismounting and standing to block any bullets that might appear from other directions, in order to protect Xu Bin's safety. For them, Xu Bin's life must be put first in any situation, which is their responsibility and their honor.
Perhaps seeing the difference between these cavalry, the people who participated in the inauguration ceremony of the monument also began to speculate about the origin of these cavalry. When a businessman who had been to Longcheng recognized Xu Bin's appearance, he was surprised: "It's Commander-in-Chief Xu, the Commander-in-Chief has come to our Jizhou." ”
As soon as the voice came out, it undoubtedly attracted the fanatical eyes of all the people. For them, being able to see Xu Bin here is undoubtedly the same as seeing the emperor on patrol in ancient times. You know, it's really not easy to see Xu Bin's true face!
Even Li Xiaoren, who had been silent and cold, learned that the commander-in-chief, who had also never met, came in person today. Undoubtedly, he was also taken aback, thinking that he had even alarmed the commander-in-chief in order to propose a contest for himself. I was really a little ashamed, but I also knew that Xu Bin personally came over to press him down!
A group of grimace guards with ghost-slashing ghosts on their backs undoubtedly felt that the arrival of their commander-in-chief in person today was an honor for the officers and men of the Third Division. At least at present, when the martyrs' cemetery is completed, there are not many people who can get Xu Bin to be present in person. What's more, the guards who escorted Xu Bin also brought three wreaths.
One of them is naturally Xu Bin, the commander-in-chief, the other two are Situ Baili, and the other is Li Shichang, the former commander-in-chief of the Northern Yi Army.
This time, because he really couldn't get out, Li Shichang couldn't come in person, so he had to call his son Li Zhiguo over, accompany Xu Bin to tour Jizhou, and laid a wreath to the martyrs' cemetery outside the city of Jizhou. Because here, the former Northern Yi Army paid the price of two main divisions, and Li Shichang needed to do his best in public and private. (To be continued......)
