Chapter 71 Nanyang Public Sacrifice

Li Yu's army came to Fengshan in the north of Nanyang, where there were already people to greet him, and on both sides of the road were black people.

In the middle of the road there is the princess Luan.

Li Yu dismounted and walked a few steps, and the two princesses took the beauty of the mansion to greet them on the side of the road.

"Embroidery Niang, Bi Niang, please get up quickly."

"Father, father~"

The two little ones broke free from the nurse's arms, babbling and shouting for the indistinct father, and stretched out their little hands for a hug.

"Hehe, Yang'er Jue'er, let my father hug me."

Li Yu let go of the princess's arm and walked towards his son.

Seeing that their demands were answered, the little ones babbled excitedly and said, "Baby Language."

Li Yu laughed.

All the civil and military forces looked at the two future successors with a smile, and their hearts were even more energetic.

The people also cheered and greeted their soldiers.

The twenty-mile journey from Fengshan to Nanyang took Li Yu two hours.

As soon as he returned to the palace, Li Yu issued a royal order to transport the ashes of the soldiers of Fangchengguan and Luyangguan back to Nanyang to build a Valhalla as their permanent keeping.

At the same time, "Enjoy the Law of Valhalla" was released.

"All my soldiers of Nanyang Kingdom, defending their families and defending the country, fighting abroad, and bravely sacrificing their lives in battle, can enjoy the Valhalla, store the ashes, and set up a spiritual position to enjoy eternal incense."

"The families of the war dead are entitled to pensions, land, and permanent tax exemption and preferential treatment."

"The son of the war dead, when he becomes an adult, he will be given priority to recruit as a soldier."

As soon as this law was published, it caused a sensation.

Zhou Kuan was directly five miles outside the north of the city, looking for land to build the Valhalla.

Day after five years, the first day of the fifth month.

Nanyang is going to hold a public festival.

Civil and military officials from all over the country came to the scene.

Zhao Kuangning personally attended the public sacrifice to participate in the public sacrifice.

This hall faces the south and the back is north, the pedestal is three zhang high, the hall is nearly ten zhang high, and the total height is thirteen zhang.

The temple has three floors.

The ground floor is the main hall of memorial, which is a place to hold memorial activities for the war dead.

On the north side, there is an offering table with a spiritual table, which reads the basic information such as the name and position of the war dead, the time of birth and death, and which battle he died in.

There is an incense burner and offerings on the offering table.

The second and third floors of Valhalla are the ashes of the war dead.

The remnants of Fangcheng Pass and Luyang Pass all came to Valhalla.

Li Yuhe civil and military officials were dressed in ceremonial robes with solemn faces.

Burn incense and worship.

There was a celebrant who shouted instructions, and everyone on the scene obeyed the command.

The main hall is filled with cigarette smoke and Sanskrit sounds.

Li Yu took the lead in prostrating, and after getting up, he read the sacrifice aloud in front of Valhalla.

"Hee~Woohoo lament~~~~~~"

"On February 28, the fifth year of Tianfu, there was a rebel Zhu Wen, who disobeyed the order, and his subordinates Han Jian and Xu Huaiyu led the troops to invade the territory, and fought against our town army in Fangcheng Pass, and on the third day of the third month of the fifth year of Tianfu, there were people who attacked Luyang Pass, and both battles were defeated."

"I guard the town of Guanzhen and fight to the death, never retreat, go forward and follow, and resist the enemy under the pass."

"In the first battle of Fangchengguan, more than 5,000 people were killed in the battle of our town, the city head was full of corpses, and the crimes of traitors were monstrous."

"Luyang Pass fought again, the town army also lost many people, the city head was soaked in blood, but the Bianjun army was still repulsed."

With Li Yu's voice, there was a kneeling outside the hall.

These are the remnants of the aftermath of the war.

After they fought to the death, they had just regained some of their senses, and they were brought in by the battlefield scenes in the sacrificial text.

"The Nanyang Town Army can sing and cry, and the bamboo is unbearable. There are countless people who have thrown their heads into the city, and there are also many people who beg for death with their heads cut off. ”

Li Yu read aloud in the front, and there was a cry in the back.

The cruelty and death they experienced will never be forgotten.

To be understood and acknowledged, their hearts are full of excitement.

"Woohoo ~ Nanyang is the beginning of the establishment, and the protection of the territory is important. However, the traitor Zhu Wen does not rest with me, and he is poisonous to the common people, and he has been the evil beam of the world for a long time! ”

"However, how innocent are the people of Nanyang? How innocent is the Nanyang Town Army? What is the innocent of the two war victims? ”

"Woohoo, the sky has eyes, and they will listen to me."

"Kill the traitors, exterminate the traitors, return my Tang Lang Lang Qiankun, and avenge the death of the war dead."

"Heroes who died in battle, enter the hall, enter the Valhalla, and enjoy eternal worship incense."

"Nanyang Kingdom, King Yu prays to God."

After Li Yu finished reading the sacrificial text, he burned it in front of the incense burner.

Wisps of green smoke soared upward.

All the civil and military officers also wiped the corners of their eyes, and the families of the war dead were even more crying.

Many people are the pillars of the family, and now they have died in battle, and their homes have collapsed.

"Daddy, my daddy~~~"

A beautiful girl cried and fainted, and was pulled up by the women of the people left and right, and they also wiped their tears.

"Dad, Brother Monkey, I'm late~~~"

A woman wearing a white kapok flower and a white linen cloth staggered in, followed by two wounded soldiers.

They are a village.

Seven or eight young people from the whole village went out, and now only two people have returned.

"Erniang, your father promised you to the monkey, but neither of them came back."

Tong Erniang was ignorant, as if she hadn't heard, she actually crossed the crowd, came behind Li Yu, and slammed into the pillars of the main hall.

"Erniang, don't~~~~"

"Ah, don't~~~"

The crowd behind him exclaimed.

Li Yu was holding the memorial text and watching the flames burn out the paper, but suddenly heard movement behind him.

Just as he was about to turn around, someone behind him shouted.

Li Yu turned around abruptly.

And behold, a woman had struck her head and was bleeding, and she had fallen on the temple.

A guard rushed up to check.

The two wounded soldiers also limped up and pleaded guilty to Li Yu.

Only then did Li Yu know that this was the family of the war dead.

There is only one woman left in the Tong family.

Li Yu couldn't bear it, and hurriedly asked the guards to send the woman to the palace medical hall for first aid.

This woman is strong, which is rare in this troubled world.

"Six shots~~~"

The celebrant shouted the next ritual.

The ceremonial soldiers on the left and right raised their guns and fired them at the sky.

Rumble~

Rumble~

Rumble~

When all the six guns were emptied, Valhalla was buzzing.

"Worship the spiritual seat~~~~"

Li Yu took the lead in entering the Valhalla and paying tribute to the war dead one by one.

He was followed by civil and military officials, remnants, families of the war dead, and some muskets.

For a while, the hall was solemn and solemn, and there was a faint sound of sobbing.

"Eh, they're all good boys!"

As soon as they left the main hall, the eyes of the remnants of the soldiers were red.

"Brother Tong, skinny monkey, you have a good life, you have entered Valhalla, we don't have this life."

"Brother Wang, Li Er, you have a good life, you have to inherit the eternal incense."

This grand public sacrifice caused a great shock in the entire military and political system of Nanyang.

Think about it, who can set up a spirit card to be worshiped and enjoy incense?

There are only a few types of status in the world that can be treated like this.

One is the statue of the Buddha of the gods.

The second is the emperor and the general.

At the beginning, Li Shimin made a twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, with portraits of these people hanging inside, enjoying the worship and incense of the world. How much honor is this for the family?

And then there is the family temple.

Worship your ancestors.

This war dead is worshiped by the world, isn't that the same treatment as the emperor general? It's everyone's ancestor.

For a time, many generals were excited.

If you die in battle, you can enter this Valhalla, and you can also enjoy the incense, hehe, no loss, no loss.

Li Huaixian rushed back to Nanyang in early April with a team of carriages and horses.

Tens of thousands of young people have returned home to participate in spring plowing and production.

Chen Ban's family arranged a separate courtyard.

King Deng's feudal state Dengzhou, the government is in Sui County. Chen Ban went to Sui County early to arrange the production of the entire Dengzhou.

As for Suizhou, Li Yu arranged for Gao Shi to temporarily take the post of governor of Suiwangfu, and he also went to Suizhou's government and Suixian.

Fangchengguan was garrisoned by temporarily recruited musketeers, and Li Yu was relieved to let Li Xiong train strictly.

The original town soldiers withdrew to Fangcheng County and stationed.

Li Zhen was stationed at Luyang Pass, and Li Yu let the Zhao brothers go to Xiangcheng, but if there was a police officer in Luyang Pass, there was no need to ask for instructions and provide direct support.

Li Yu gathered the two disabled soldiers in Guancheng and asked them to reclaim the farm in the west hundred miles of Nanyang, and all the disabled soldiers in the future will be arranged here.

Li Yu named it "Zhenping".

Although there is no river here, the land is flat and fertile, and it is a very good dry land area.

Li Yu made up his mind to wait for the autumn harvest to see how I cleaned up the Zhu Wen rebels.
