Chapter 355: Hymn
"Duchy 983, March 28. I heard this "Battle Hymn to Lomin the Brave":
I saw with my own eyes the heroic figure walking on the earth,
Cutting off the enemy's head is like plucking grapes;
The light of his sword like fire was thundering,
Unstoppable, glorious way!"
Humming this catchy melody, the middle-aged scholar copied the lyrics on linen, confirmed that they were correct, and then carefully copied them on a parchment roll.
Scipion, a historian who had just celebrated his thirty-second birthday, appeared in Lomin's barracks by chance.
Now it has been transformed into a sea of joy, and many soldiers are singing this little tune to drink and have fun.
There were even bards from nearby who learned this melody for the first time, playing the shamisen, and using this melody as an opening to derive all kinds of rumors and deeds about Luo Ming that had been distorted several times, but could still be vaguely distinguished.
Originally, he was entrusted by his teacher to travel and come to Fanshee County to collect some folk historical materials.
"Ignorant people sometimes hold the true history in their hands, and although there are many distortions, most of them are unintentional distortions and exaggerations in word of mouth.
The aristocracy, on the other hand, often had the tongue of a poisonous snake, and when it passed through their mouths, it would be stained with venom. ”
The teacher once said this, to put it bluntly, when the aristocrat tells a story, he often distorts it as if it is in his own interests, such as deliberately boasting about his ancestors and denigrating those he is not used to.
These things have little to do with ordinary people, so they may add some non-existent fragments to make the story more engaging, but they will never deliberately falsify too many facts.
In front of professional historians, this is actually quite easy to tell.
When he arrived in Vanshey, he wandered around with his escorts, sometimes in and out of wine shops, and sometimes asking old farmers in the countryside about old things.
However, it didn't take long for him to notice the appearance of the monster.
Although he had guards around him, it was impossible to deal with a large number of monsters, so he retreated to the county town for safety. There was nothing to do in the county, so he went to visit the county guard, the Earl of Conle.
Unexpectedly, the earl was about to send troops to fight, and invited him to accompany him, record the stories of the war, and at the same time temporarily help him as a staff member.
Although he knew many historical examples, he actually only knew a little about military knowledge, and he did not dare to speak at will, but only took this opportunity to record the situation of the war.
A coalition of more than 3,000 people faced a thousand monsters, which is not a small event, and it is definitely an honor for a historian to be able to record this event.
Thus, he witnessed the rise of Luo Ming.
The soldiers said that it was the military pastor Hills who wrote the song and sang it in the army.
I heard that she was in charge of guarding the camp at the time of her victory, and there was no great credit to be done. I think she probably wanted to take advantage of this to shine a little light of victory, to make Luo Ming happy, and to give her a reward.
But needless to say, the soldiers loved the song, and they all thought it was completely true.
They toasted with these lyrics, and were sure that under the leadership of Luo Ming, even if they were soldiers licking blood from the edge of their knives, they had nothing to fear.
The young Luo Ming is no longer a successful person who can be described as a rising star, and if he does not suffer any accidents, he will definitely be stronger in the future.
I compare his exploits with the heroes I know, and although I have read hundreds of history books, as far as I know, there are only a handful of people who can compare with him at this age for thousands of years.
May the gods bless him from his path and sow fear only in the territory where evil is entrenched.
Scipjan, recorded in the military camp of Lorming, in the county of Vanshei. ”
The scholar blew the ink of the parchment dry, carefully put it away, and stretched out a long stretch.
Let's hope the Count wakes up and doesn't ask to look through his records and look at the page with rage......
======================================
One crucial thing that Sembrian actually got wrong was that the song wasn't created by Hills.
She was only from a small burgher family, and after receiving the most basic education in literacy and accounting, she was discovered by the gift of a priest and sent to the temple.
Maybe she is shrewd and decisive, and can seize the opportunity to hug Luo Ming's thigh. But in terms of artistic attainments, at most you can listen to a few classic tunes.
Let her create a catchy rhythm is inevitably difficult for some strong people.
This song was actually created by Luo Ming himself based on the melody from his previous life, and the lyrics were written with Aya, and after teaching Hills to sing it, she let her spread it in the army under her own name.
This is not difficult to understand - if Luo Ming sings this song himself, it will inevitably be suspected of boasting and making people disgusted.
But when Shears sings "want to pat Loming's ass", there is no problem at all - who among the soldiers would disagree with Lomin's bravery and strength? What soldier would refuse to pat the commander's ass?
So, it took Shears less than a day to get the song to spread throughout the barracks, and then outside the barracks.
To this day, quite a few of the other units in the coalition have sung the song.
Although they are not Luo Ming's subordinates, it is also very good to boast that "I once fought side by side with the legendary brave man in the song", which is enough to blow for ten or eight years.
The song quickly spread with the news of the big win, bringing Luo Ming extraordinary popularity.
In just three days, more than a dozen young people have come to the barracks, declaring their willingness to serve a hero like Luo Ming.
Some of them are speculators, and some of them really admire Luo Ming's martial arts and hope to get the opportunity to make contributions together.
Several big businessmen brought wine and meat to reward the army, saying that it was a sacrifice army, and Luo Ming also received a gift that added up to nearly 400 gold coins.
Four hundred gold coins was not a large amount for him and the great merchants, but it was a good indication of their willingness to mingle with each other.
Or rather, get rich together.
After all, Luo Ming has been making soap for almost half a year, and the first batch was put in the county town and received a good response.
This proves that in addition to being a noble lord, he also has the mindset of a businessman.
Although it is difficult for a merchant to deceive a huge profit from his hands, at least the Lorming will be very open to the merchant to accept most equal normal transactions.
Even if you do business with him normally, you can definitely get a lot of income.
If there is a safe channel to obtain profits, these big businessmen will not easily try risky methods.
