Section 6 Celebrations
After learning that the Luobei people had completely left the territory of Qingyang Mansion, Wu Feng announced the news to the people of the city, and for a while, Qingyang City became a sea of joy, and all the people left their homes and took to the streets, cheering, laughing, marching and even crying to express their feelings. The teahouse hotel, the streets and alleys, are full of laughter, of course, mixed with the crying of the families and friends who missed the victims in this defense war. In order to celebrate this great victory, and by the way, to expand the influence of their own two families, after obtaining the consent of Wu Feng, they decided to hold a grand celebration rally in the big arena in the west of Qingyang City on the afternoon of October 18, and a bonfire party will be held after the meeting.
After Wu Feng learned that the Luope army had left the territory of Qingyang Mansion through the scouts he sent, he immediately convened a military meeting, and Liang Chongxin also led more than 500 cavalry back to the city safe and sound on the morning of October 18. Present at the meeting were Xiao Tang, Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxiu, Mu Lige, Lu Man, and Kamapov (deputy captain of the Fourth Brigade of the Fourth Wing, who succeeded the captain of the Fourth Brigade who died in battle as the captain of the Fourth Brigade because of his outstanding performance in the campaign and his absolute loyalty to Wu Feng), and Kang Jianguo.
At the meeting, Wufeng made it clear that he would break away from the city guard system, no longer return to Yanjing, and use Qingyang Mansion as a base for development, in this regard, among the seven people present, four of them had already been psychologically prepared, and Mu Lige, Kamapov, and Kang Jianguo were a little surprised because of their infinite loyalty to Wufeng, but they had no objections. Wu Feng also ordered the immediate formation of the First Garrison Division of Qingyang Prefecture, with himself temporarily serving as the commander of the division, Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxiu, Mu Lige, Kamapov, and Kang Jianguo as the commanders of the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth wings respectively, each of which was expanded and organized with the five brigades of the former Fourth Wing, and the personnel were drawn from the stragglers and recruits of the former Imperial Western Expeditionary Army, Lu Man was appointed director of the logistics department of the division and regiment, and the chief of staff of the division was temporarily vacant. Wufeng also asked Lu Man to arrange for medical personnel to step up the treatment of nearly 6,000 wounded and strive to recover and return to the team as soon as possible. Wu Feng also demanded that all units step up the training of their troops, especially the recruits, after resting for the necessary time, and strive to raise the combat effectiveness of the troops to the level of the 3rd Division and the 4th Wing of the 3rd Division of the City Guard Corps led by them before the war.
The celebration began on time at 4 p.m., and after ordering Mu Lige to arrange for the city defense duty, Wu Feng led all the officers of his subordinates at all levels to attend the celebration. The ceremony was very grand, the venue was still in the field, the rostrum was set up on the wooden platform that was simply built last time, Wu Feng was arranged to sit in the middle, on his left was Xiao Tang, Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxiu, Mu Lige, Kamapov, Kang Jianguo, and on the right were Zhan Zhaobai, Wei Dongchen and several other influential figures in Qingyang City who contributed to the defense of Qingyang City, and there were nearly 70,000 people in the audience, and almost all the people came to participate in the celebration with the old and the young.
First of all, Zhan Zhaobai made an enthusiastic speech on behalf of the people of the city to thank the emperor [***] team led by Wu Feng for their sacrifices and contributions to the defense of Qingyang Mansion, and then Wei Dongchen gave an enthusiastic speech to Liang Chongxin, Cui Wenxiu, Mu Lige, Kamapov, The heroic deeds of Kang Jianguo and others made extremely sensational speeches, and tens of thousands of people in the audience listened to them with fascination, and even a few parties sitting on the stage were quite moved, which made Wufeng very strange that Wei Dongchen still had such good eloquence, and he could simply catch up with those professional storytellers who made a living from it.
After the successful speech, the celebration set off a small **, that is, Zhan Zhaobai announced that several heroes who had performed well in this defense battle presented garlands, Xiao Tang announced the list of winners of this honor, and the officers who were named came to the stage one after another, a group of beautiful girls, dressed in colorful costumes, held garlands to the heroes, Wu Feng took the lead in standing up and applauding, the applause on and off the stage was thunderous, and the whole venue was immersed in a warm and joyful atmosphere.
Finally, Wei Dongchen announced that he invited Li Wufeng, the greatest hero and commander of the battle and the protector of the people of Qingyang, to speak. The mood is very different from the mood of the speech he gave here a few days ago, Wu Feng is now full of confidence, he took vigorous steps to meet the tens of thousands of pairs of expectant eyes in the audience, and strode to the front of the stage.
In the past few days, more than 20,000 of our soldiers and the people of the city have resisted the invasion of the invaders, we have won more with less, and defeated the strong with the weak, creating a miracle and breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Luopei invaders. In this war, nearly 20,000 of our brave soldiers gave their precious lives to defend our homeland. I propose that all present take off their hats and observe a moment of silence for them. Wu Feng took the lead in taking off his helmet and bowed his head in silence, and everyone present stood up and took off their hats and bowed their heads in silence.
After a moment of silence, Wu Feng continued his speech, "Today I stand here and swear to all of you here on behalf of all my soldiers that I will do everything in my power to protect the safety of your lives and property from being violated, and I hope that all of you here will cherish the hard-won peace and happiness, and use your own hands to redouble your efforts to create a prosperous and powerful new homeland!" After listening to Wu Feng's oath and words of encouragement, thunderous applause immediately broke out on and off the stage, and many people could not even control their feelings and began to cheer, "We have won!" and "Long live!" Various slogans reverberated one after another, echoing inside and outside the entire arena, and the excited crowd poured out of the arena one after another and began to march spontaneously on the streets.
The bonfire party in the evening is even more lively, dozens of bonfires are lit up a raging fire, tens of thousands of people around the fire in the accompaniment of various musical instruments excitedly singing and dancing, the celebration into the carnival stage. Because Qingyang Province is located on the border, bordering many countries and regions, and because of the intermarriage of various races for hundreds of years, the ethnic composition is very complicated, and among the nearly 100,000 ordinary people, only 40% are of the yellow race, and 30% are of the white race and the mixed race are 30% each, so the social atmosphere is much more open than in other parts of the empire.
Wu Feng also led his officers to be invited to a bonfire party, which Xiao Tang called close military-civilian relations. At the party, the girls of all ethnic groups dressed in various costumes were very cheerful and generous, and they came to invite the officers at all levels under Wufeng to dance together, and the officers did not get the approval of their superiors, they all looked at the group of people without the approval of their superiors, and Wufeng also generously approved the subordinates to choose by themselves, and suddenly, hundreds of officers were snatched up, and some of them even came to Wufeng's group of people to invite them to dance, and many well-known people in Qingyang City who sat with Wufeng also asked Xiao Tang and others about Wufeng's personal situation-
Zhan Zhanbai, Wei Dongchen and some other more agile businessmen had already decided that Wu Feng would be the new ruler of this fast land, and they all sent invitations at the party, inviting Wu Feng to take the time to participate in the welcome banquet he held for Wu Feng in the next few days. Just when Wu Feng was chatting and laughing with all the celebrities in Qingyang Mansion present, a slender figure came to Wu Feng's face, "General Li, the little woman wants to invite an adult to dance, I wonder if the adult is willing to appreciate it?"
Wu Feng raised his head and carefully looked at the pretty woman in front of him, who was enough to make anyone's heart flutter with two charming dimples, a pair of deep pool-like eyes, a proud figure wrapped in a snow-white dress, and flaxen-colored hair that told everyone that she was of Caucasian blood. In an instant, Wu Feng remembered Guan Yingying, Hua Yumei and An Qi'er, who were thousands of miles away, and Wei Dongchen next to him saw that Wu Feng was a little distracted, and hurriedly asked, "Which family's daughter is this? Why have you never seen it?"
"It's rude, this is the old granddaughter, don't hurry up to give you a salute. A thin old man with a white beard stood up, "Oh, it's Lu Lao's Sun Qianjin, no wonder, we can't recognize it after a few years of not being seen like a fairy." The old man was obviously very familiar with everyone present, and Wei Dongchen hurriedly introduced to Wu Feng: "This is the old man Lu of Jinzhou Mansion, the Lu family is a very famous family of medicinal materials in our northwest region and even the entire Eastern Continent, and their family's supply of medicinal materials accounts for one-fifth of the empire's needs." Mr. Li doesn't need to be introduced. Wu Feng also heard Gu Ji mention this person when he introduced the important people in the provinces of Northwest County, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and after some cold noise, the girl standing next to him still refused to leave, "Lord Li, I heard that you are strategizing on the battlefield and fighting against 10,000 people, so you won't even dare to accept this little invitation from Miss Ben, right?" , Everyone on the side looked at the two with a smile, especially Wufeng's subordinates, although his boss usually looked amiable and approachable, but the officers and soldiers who had come into contact with him all felt that he always had an endless domineering spirit under a smiling baby face, which made people can't help but feel awe. And only this little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky will talk to him in such a tone, and if she changes someone else, I'm afraid she won't dare to borrow his three guts-
Old Man Lu also felt that his granddaughter was too presumptuous, and hurriedly blamed: "Xian Xian, how can you talk to Lord Li like this, Lord Li is so reasonable, how can you be as crazy as you children?" "He is no more than two years older than me, and besides, don't his subordinates also dance very well?" The girl was obviously spoiled by her grandfather, so she was not afraid of her grandfather's blame, Wu Feng was also attracted by this smart and beautiful girl, and the restless color heart in her chest was a little impatient," Mr. Lu, don't blame Ling's granddaughter, since it's rare for everyone to be so happy today, I'll dance with her. Wu Feng also generously accepted the invitation and walked into the venue with the girl.
As the cheerful dance music sounded, Wu Feng and the girl stepped on the light drums, and reveled in it like other boys and girls. The girl's dancing posture is very skillful and beautiful, but Wu Feng has never officially danced this folk dance with local characteristics, but under the leadership of the girl, she also watched many people dance in the plus Wu Feng party, and she quickly adapted to it. Smelling the virgin fragrance emanating from the girl's body, hugging the girl's slender waist, and stepping on the enthusiastic and unrestrained drumbeat, Wu Feng couldn't help but be a little moved-
Off the field, Zhanzhao Bai looked at Lu Yunshan, who was stroking his beard and smiling from ear to ear, that is, Old Man Lu, and said: "Old man Lu, your granddaughter will really take the lead, it seems that your emotional investment is very successful, but I heard Mr. Xiao say that in Yanjing, Master Li has a lot of confidants." Lu Yunshan replied quietly: "That's their children's generation, and we old things can't manage that much." A fat businessman standing next to him also sighed: "It's a pity that the mothers-in-law in my family didn't give birth to a more beautiful girl." Wei Dongchen, who was watching the dance, turned around and smiled: "Qiu Fatty, you don't look at your own appearance, how can you give birth to a beautiful daughter, if you are really born, it must be your wife who brought you a green hat." But to be serious, Lord Li has accepted the invitations of several of us, and there is still a chance to contact the relationship, but Lord Li and Mr. Xiao next to him are not ordinary people, I estimate that when the time comes, they may have to make some requests, and we have to prepare ourselves. ”――
The party lasted until dawn, and Wu Feng also danced a few dances with the girl named Lu Xian Xian, and later several other girls also invited Wu Feng to dance together, Wu Feng did not want to bear the infamy of favoritism, and they all fulfilled the wishes of the girls one by one. Some of the people who were happy all night singing and dancing all night long, while others went to the bars and hotels to drink and celebrate. According to the investigation, after October 18, all kinds of liquor in Qingyang Fucheng were out of stock for several days, and many merchants had to go to various places overnight to organize the supply of goods to meet the needs of the market.
Zhan Zhaobai and Wei Dongchen also quickly initiated a joint letter from the general public and merchants in accordance with the agreement, asking the imperial court to appoint Li Wufeng as the city guard of Qingyang Prefecture, and sent a number of representatives of the common people to Yanjing with a joint letter to petition, and at the same time contacted the people in Yanjing who were close to them and asked them for help
