Chapter 308: Nanyun Cemetery
Following.
Early in the morning, without waiting for the people of the Ancient Envoy Group to contact and exchange matters with the Great Xia side, the people of Great Xia took the lead in finding the door to spread the word.
When the Great Xia officials who had spread the word left, several core ministers quickly gathered to Tong Fengjiao.
"The emperor, the Great Xia Imperial Court sent someone to deliver a message, saying that we would be invited to a place in an hour, and it was also pointed out that all the main members of my envoy group should rush there."
Honglu Temple Zhengqing Chai Ren said towards Tong Fengjiao.
Tong Fengjiao didn't think much about it, and asked lightly, "Where are you going?" ”
"The other party didn't say anything, only said that we would naturally know when we got to the place."
Chai Ren shook his head, and then hesitated: "Emperor, it won't be that the Great Xia side is not well-intentioned, right?" Could there be some misfortune in this? ”
As soon as Chai Ren's words fell, Sima Xie Yongnian shook his head and retorted.
"Probably not, except for the little farce at the time of greeting, Daxia is still quite friendly to us, and the relevant etiquette is very thoughtful. This shows that the Great Xia Dynasty is also aware of the stakes and does not want to stiffen the relationship between the two parties. ”
"Moreover, if they really have any ghost intentions, they should have revealed them at the palace banquet last night, so they wouldn't wait until today to make a move."
"So, I guess that the Great Xia side may want to take us to visit the foundry of Great Xia's weapons or warships, or other places that can show the strength of Great Xia, so as to show us their muscles, so as to form a certain deterrent to us."
Tong Fengjiao thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
"What Sima Xie said is reasonable, there is no reason for the Great Xia side to be unfavorable to us now."
"Let's do what they arrange first, and then have the planned exchange after that."
"Yes!"
……
More than an hour later, north of the city, Xiaozhu Mountain.
At this time, the sky was gray, and there was a light rain falling, and the hazy mist was slowly floating between the sky and the earth, like a light veil.
When the members of the Desert Ancient Envoys arrived, they found that on both sides of the surrounding road, soldiers with different armor and armor stood upright in the rain, like statues, motionless.
And in the open spaces beyond the main road, there were still dense crowds of people with no end in sight.
These people are not only peddlers and pawns, but also scholars and wealthy merchants, as well as elderly people and children of several years, with different identities.
But they have one thing in common, that is, they stand silently, and there is a little sadness in their solemn faces, which makes the atmosphere in the field extremely heavy and depressing.
The ancient envoys looked at each other, and Tong Fengjiao frowned and was full of suspicion.
"Where is this? Why is there such an atmosphere? ”
Hearing Tong Fengjiao's question, a military general hurriedly turned around and went to the back to inquire about the person in charge of intelligence.
Before long, the military general quickly returned, and whispered to Tong Fengjiao with an ugly face.
"After Emperor Qiqi, this place is called Xiaozhu Mountain, which is a mediocre hill more than 30 zhang high, but not long ago, it was suddenly requisitioned by the Great Xia Imperial Court, and began to build a large number of buildings."
"According to intelligence, what the Great Xia Imperial Court is building here is a cemetery."
"Moreover, the name of this cemetery seems to be the Battleship Soldier Cemetery!"
Hearing this, whether it was Tong Fengjiao or a few ancient ministers who were close, they all changed color on the spot.
"Battleship Soldier Cemetery? Could it be that the Great Xia warships who died in the Battle of Nanyuntan are buried here? ”
Xie Yongnian asked in a deep voice, his face was very ugly.
The military general shook his head and said in a low voice: "This has not yet been determined, because only some torn clothes and blood-stained warship wreckage are buried here, and no corpses are buried. So, our people haven't figured it out yet. ”
Chai Ren snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "What else is there to check here?" Don't think about it! ”
"In addition to the Battle of Nanyuntan in the Great Xia Dynasty, where did a large number of warships be destroyed?"
"The battle of Nanyuntan is the shame of my Ancient Emperor Dynasty, but it is the glory of Great Xia! It's not unusual for them to make a fuss about those battleship soldiers who died in battle! After all, this is a great opportunity to boost the morale of the military and the people! ”
Speaking of this, Chai Ren paused, and his face became even more ugly.
"Damn the Great Xia people! They just want to build a cemetery, but why do they have to let us come? Isn't this going to sprinkle a handful of coarse salt on our wounds in front of everyone, and to embarrass us greatly?! ”
Hearing Chai Ren's words, the other ancient envoys also suddenly realized.
Dare to love, this Great Xia is really harboring evil intentions!
"Emperor, according to me, it's better for us to leave immediately."
Xie Yongnian suggested in a deep voice, anger and humiliation in his eyes.
"Otherwise, I am afraid that this matter will not end smoothly today."
Tong Fengjiao also understood this truth, and just as she was about to nod, a deafening shout suddenly came.
"Your Majesty has arrived~"
Hearing the sound, accompanied by the sonorous collision of armor pieces, all the armorers knelt on one knee in unison.
At the same time, the surrounding people also fell to their knees.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
The chorus of thousands of armor soldiers shouted like muffled thunder, making the rain between heaven and earth fall more quickly and densely.
In the distance of the main road, figures gradually appeared through the cover of the fog, and slowly approached.
Looking at it, the person at the head is Xia Ao, and behind Xia Ao, he is followed by the civil and military officials of Great Xia.
They came on foot with solemn faces, without riding a mount, nor riding a car, and no one even held an umbrella for Xia Ao to protect them from the rain.
However, in fact, there was no need, because the dense raindrops could not get close to Xia Ao and the courtiers at all, as if there was an invisible barrier blocking the outside, so that not a drop of rain could invade.
Time passed slowly, and when he came to Tong Fengjiao's side, Xia Ao suddenly stopped his pace.
However, Xia Ao didn't look at Tong Fengjiao, but stared at the marble archway in front of him with a faint gaze.
The torii is wide and high, and in the position of the plaque, a bright red silk cloth is tied there, covering the words behind it.
"Spread my will, open the park!"
With Xia Ao's deep drink, Zhao Gao took two steps forward and repeated Xia Ao's order forward, dragging a long tail note.
"Your Majesty has a decree to open the cemetery~"
"Yes!"
In front of the archway, the two young generals were hot-eyed, and after saluting Xia Ao respectfully, they turned around and came to the bottom of the plaque.
As the two of them slowly stretched out their arms and pulled downward at the same time, the red silk cloth fell abruptly and fell into the hands of the two of them without any mistake.
But at this time, everyone's attention has shifted to the position of the plaque, and when they look closely, they see that on the plaque with red edges on a black background, there are four big red and gold characters written with a sharp pen like a knife - Nanyun Cemetery!
When they saw these four words clearly, the faces of the ancient envoys became even more ugly, and they even became so angry that their chests rose and fell.
Nanyun Cemetery, doesn't this mean the Great Xia warships who died in the battle of Nanyun Beach?
Perhaps there are also relics of the Great Xia soldiers who died in the First World War of the Eighteen Bays, but these are no longer the problems that the ancient envoys are willing to think about.
They were surrounded by shame and anger at this moment, if it weren't for the fact that there was still some reason, if it weren't for the emperor's previous order not to take the initiative to provoke the people of Great Xia, they would have been angry and questioned!
They have traveled thousands of miles to visit here for the sake of friendship between the two countries, is this the hospitality of the hosts?
Xia Ao ignored the thoughts of the ancient people, and just stared at the four blood-stained characters and preached in a deep voice.
"There is a saying: take copper as a reference, you can be dressed; Take people as a reference, you can know the gains and losses; Take history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall! ”
"Since the first year of Shenwu, my Great Xia has forged the soul of a country that is not afraid of all strong enemies in the world! If there are those who dare to deceive, they will be returned a hundred times! ”
"Someone once asked me, why was my Great Xia able to do this, and why was I able to forge such a national soul. At that time, I just smiled, didn't say anything, just let him observe and understand for himself. ”
"But today, I can tell the whole world about this answer!"
"Because of the Battle of Nanyuntan and the Battle of Eighteen Bays, our brave and fearless soldiers have used their blood and lives to give this answer!"
"The reason why my Great Xia dares to show his sword fearlessly to any strong enemy is precisely because my Great Xia is like a dragon, and I have forged a human soul that is not afraid of strong enemies! It is precisely because of the unity of my people in Daxia that the soul of the people of all people has been forged! It is precisely because my Daxia soldiers are brave and fearless, not afraid of life and death, that they have created my invincible military soul! ”
"I set up Nanyun Cemetery today, and I am not only buried with the clothes of those heroic martyrs, but also their heroic souls!"
"Nanyun Cemetery will tell you that as long as the soul of my Great Xia people is not small, the soul of the people is not scattered, and the soul of the army is not falling, any strong enemy who dares to harm my Great Xia is destined to be crushed into powder!"
"Nanyun Cemetery will also tell the entire Nine Domains Continent, the territory of Great Xia, don't Kou, Kou will wipe out its country!"
As Xia Ao's last sentence fell, the originally heavy and depressing atmosphere in the field was instantly detonated by infinite passion, whether it was the soldiers selected by the various armies, or the people of Daxia from different backgrounds, all of them had red eyes and clenched fists.
But at the same time, the envoys of the ancient times were trembling slightly, their teeth fighting, and their faces were blue and red.
It was already a great shame for them to appear here, but now the Great Xia Emperor was poking their sore spots in front of them over and over again, how excessive?
Tong Fengjiao clenched her silver teeth, and glared at Xia Ao with the anger that was about to explode.
It's just that before she could speak, Xia Ao had already turned his head to look at her indifferently and took the initiative to speak.
"The Ancient Emperor Dynasty took the initiative to march towards my Great Xia, which is already a great crime! If it weren't for the fact that your people hadn't really set foot in the territory of my Great Xia, the war between our two dynasties would not have been able to end with a million corpses! ”
"I hope you will remember this lesson, because you will not have a second chance!"
"Of course, I have a golden mouth, and the words I say will naturally count. However, if you want to truly make friends with my Great Xia, then you must show sincerity! ”
Tong Fengjiao laughed angrily and said coldly: "Then what does Emperor Xia want?" ”
