The next morning, the Imperial Square in the capital of the Ming Empire had long been crowded with Ming people from all over the world, among them there were all kinds of people, black, white, yellow, and of course, some of them were wearing linen and wearing filial piety in tears.
In a solemn atmosphere, the high-level of the empire, the emperor, cabinet, military personnel, and high-ranking government officials of the Ming Empire came from afar, and these people were wearing black clothes, even the emperor and the crown prince of the Ming Empire were wearing the same black clothes, and they also wore white silk scarves on their arms.
Behind them is, a pair of coffins covered with the Ming Sun and Moon Flag, these coffins are carried by four soldiers, slowly following behind the high-level of the Ming Empire, as their figures get closer and closer, the Imperial Square also gently sounded an unusually sad voice, and at this time, the dense crowd on the square also consciously gave way to a road to the front with the approach of the coffin, which has been leading from the Imperial Square to the Ming Civil-funded Heroes and Martyrs Cemetery in the distance.
This time, the Ming Dynasty went to the Ruhr system, and a total of ninety-six soldiers were sacrificed before and after, including the soldiers who died in non-combat, but fortunately, the remains of these soldiers are well preserved, so it is not necessary to be like during World War II, many soldiers can't even find their bodies, and can only replace them with clothes and mounds.
After they reached the Imperial Square, they stopped, and the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty walked alone to the rostrum of the Imperial Square, and when they reached the rostrum, he began to speak.
"As the emperor of the Ming Empire, I would like to thank these brave warriors for opening up a broader living and living space for us human beings, and their spirit will always live in our hearts.
However, the prosperity of every civilization is indispensable to these people who have selflessly dedicated themselves to our entire human civilization, and there are thousands of civilizations in the universe, but a civilization wants to survive and gain a foothold in the universe, move towards a higher palace of civilization, and want to have a better survival and production space, we have no choice, which can eliminate all the enemies that stand in front of our human civilization on the earth, and create a sky for our future generations that belongs to our civilization.
And when we used to think that we were the only intelligent life in the universe of mankind, but now in fact there are countless intelligent races in the universe, and every civilization is working hard for the strength of its civilization, and we humans are the same, and they are the heroes of our entire human race, although he is gone, but they will always live in our hearts!
Their merits to our entire human race will forever be remembered in the Emperor's cup of merit, and their glory will forever bless our children and grandchildren, they are the most determined warriors of mankind, they are also the great men of the Empire, they are the pride of our mankind, and they are the backbone of the entire human civilization. ”
With the speech of the Ming Emperor, all the people present listened quietly, and the soldiers carrying the coffin also stood straight in place.
When the Ming Emperor silently walked off the rostrum after speaking, the soldiers who were waiting on the side set off the salute, for these soldiers who sacrificed for mankind, all the people present were very grateful, because with them, the living space of human civilization has a whole planet, although there may be many people who do not feel the impact on a planet on the life around them, but as time goes by, they will definitely slowly feel the changes around them.
After the salute rang out ninety-nine eighty-one, the emperor and many officials of the Ming Empire began to walk in the direction of the cemetery with a team of martyrs.
This martyr's cemetery is the Ming Empire from the founding of the country, until now for the Ming Empire to die on the battlefield, of course, the soldiers buried here are only the more famous soldiers in the history of the Ming Empire for more than 600 years, including Qi Jiguang, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Chengzong and so on in the early Chongzhen period of a group of more famous generals.
And this cemetery is next to the Imperial Square, is the place where all the soldiers of the Ming Empire want to be buried after the death of the war, and the incense here is continuous every day, so as long as they are buried here after the death of the war, then it is the best affirmation of the merits of the soldiers, such as this memorial service, there are very calm soldiers who envy these sacrificed soldiers to be buried here.
The Ming Empire has a complete pension system for soldiers who died for the empire, and this is actually not something that Zhu Lei has to worry about, but as the supreme commander of the Vermilion Bird Army, there are many things he still has to see in person.
Although Zhu Lei knows the pensions of these soldiers who died in battle, at this time when the whole people are concerned, no one will dare to use their brains, but he is not afraid of 10,000 just in case, if it is at other times, or soldiers of other branches of the army, he naturally does not have to worry about him, but he must not let these casualties shed blood and tears in the affairs of the Suzaku Army.
For the soldiers who died in this battle, the Ming Empire can be described as very generous, the Ming Empire not only posthumously awarded these soldiers who died in battle as the founding county, that is, the title of viscount, but also compensated a very considerable amount of money at one time, and also on the equal amount of Pangu Star that the empire had just activated, each soldier who died was given 5,000 acres of Yongye field as compensation.
Not only that, but the Ming Empire's pension system will also issue a monthly pension to their families that is enough for the family to finance, which will last for thirty years.
In addition, the eldest son or eldest daughter of a fallen soldier will automatically inherit the title of a fallen soldier, although the title will be reduced by one level to become a baron after the succession, but this cannot change the fact that the martyr's family has stepped from the ordinary civilian class to the aristocratic class.
Of course, the real good thing in this pension is the title of the Big Mom Empire and the 5,000 acres of land in Pangu Star, you must know that the Ming Empire has never been knighted since World War II, which shows the attitude of the Ming Empire towards this victory over the Ruhr civilization.
And the 5,000 acres of land in Pangu Star is also very rare, because now all the land of Pangu Star belongs to the state-owned land of the Ming Empire, and the land of Pangu Star The high-level of the Ming Empire has discussed many times and decided that except for a few specific areas, the other lands will not be sold to the outside world, and the land obtained by these fallen soldiers is not in a specific area, and these lands are still Yongye Fields, which is unique in Pangu Star.
And in the future, as the development process of Pangea accelerates, the value of these lands will become more obvious.
