Chapter 28 Mausoleum of Heroes

Like a dream in front of the window of jade flying flowers, like a sigh on the pillow of the bright moon.

The wind disturbs people's sleep, and the sky is full of snow.

"Bump." Wang Fan knelt heavily on the ground and kowtowed to Fan Xiwen, and then solemnly said to Fan Xiwen: "If you know that you are wrong. ”

"Okay, you go back and straighten out the brothers, and then go to Zhou Jian's office to get some items to reward the meritorious people, and the county government will personally distribute the pension to the family. All post-war work must be done well, and the hearts of the brothers must not be chilled. Fan Xiwen said, and at the same time helped Wang Fan up.

"Yes, all who will retire." After speaking, he turned around and left, at this moment, Fan Xiwen's famous general cultivation plan finally had an effect, and as expected, Wang Fan will become a generation of famous generals in the future.

The officers and men of the whole army listened to the order and saw off their brothers who had traveled far away. I hope the brothers go all the way. Fan Xiwen shouted.

As his words fell, the ashes of the six soldiers of the Marksman Company who died in this operation slowly walked up the earthen ladder of the Meritorious Tomb under the escort of the soldiers, and all the soldiers of the Le'an Army raised their hands in salute, in their opinion, the brothers who died in battle were all good.

The Mausoleum was built temporarily, and Fan Xiwen used the manpower and material resources of the Ministry of Le Security to build it in two months. The Mausoleum of Meritorious Heroes is located on the hillside behind the military camp in Yanjia Village, covering an area of 100 acres, with only a large area of pine and cypress trees. In the center of the Mausoleum of Meritorious Heroes, there is a stone tablet of "Heroes Immortal" written by Fan Xiwen himself, which is the only building of the Mausoleum of Meritorious Heroes, ten meters behind the stele, a bronze treasure stands there, and its inscription is the name of the deceased hero.

The stairs of the Mausoleum of the Meritorious Heroes are one hundred and eight steps, which are temporarily compacted into a hard earth ladder with wooden planks. Slowly, six soldiers appeared in front of Fan Xiwen with an urn in their hands, and Fan Xiwen was wearing the orthodox official uniform of the imperial court at this time (the specific Derpy is not very clear, and I didn't see the county official uniform of the late Han Dynasty there). Fan Xiwen looked sad, took a bowl of water and wine from Liu Ke's hand and held it up to the air, and said loudly: "Heroes are immortal, brothers go all the way." The wine poured down, took a bowl of wine from Liu Ke's hand again, and raised his head to dry it up.

"Send the hero to the mausoleum." After Fan Xiwen finished speaking, the heavy war drums were beaten, slow and mournful. The wind also blew silently at this time, and the black military flag of the Han Dynasty fluttered in the wind, as if it was blown away by the wind at any time, and its dynasty, like it, was already extinguished in the wind.

"From now on, Le'an will allocate 5 percent of the annual budget for the construction of the Mausoleum. Every year, no less than one battalion of guards can be stationed at the Mausoleum, and in addition to this, soldiers who died in previous battles are also relocated to the Mausoleum. After the ceremony, Fan Xiwen announced a new decision to Zhou Jian, he was afraid that Zhou Jian and others would not agree with the decision to allocate funds from the treasury, and even used a tough attitude, Zhou Jian could only smile bitterly at this. How could Zhou Jian oppose such a decision?

Quickly walked down the earthen ladder, and Wang Fan cooperated very well to bring a war horse. Fan Xiwen stepped on the horse's pedal and flipped onto the horse. "Urge the whole army, and the left guard will stay in Le'an. The main force of the armed guard continued to defend in depth. Three squadrons were temporarily placed under the command of Fan Fengming, the commander of the right guard. The eight squadrons of the right guard, the whole guard, the Ming guard, the first guard and the personal guard marched to the Taihang Mountain. The sharpshooter company was transferred back to Le'an, and the cavalry company and the recruit battalion of the troops directly under the county stayed behind to guard the mausoleum of the heroes. All kinds of weapons fully support the war of the army. Fan Xiwen ordered to the generals.

In the previous subjugation, a total of 2,000 people were expanded, all of which were incorporated into the left, right, martial arts, and pro-four guards. In addition, the addition of war horses allowed Le'an's cavalry squad to expand to the company level. Two months was enough time for Fan Xiwen to arm and train this army. Now, he will continue to march. Use such a natural training ground as Taihang Mountain to lay down strength for the future hegemony.

In addition, Fan Xiwen planned the development outline for the next year as early as a month ago, and told Zhou Jian, Liu Ke, and Fan Fengming that they should actively explore and develop outward. At the same time, business cannot be left behind. Because, for the time being, Le'an's taxes are only agricultural tax and commercial tax, city gate tax and other limited types, and they are all very low. In order to make the people of Le'an live a good life, Le'an is currently undergoing large-scale renovation, including the construction of water canals. The project is huge, and the manpower and material resources required are not in small numbers. Those taxes alone are not enough, not to mention that Le'an still needs to pay the prescribed taxes to the county. Again, this is a big expense. Therefore, it is essential to develop a business. Wang Jiaxiong's caravan has been expanded to three, and each of them has at least one platoon of escorts. Each time, Wang Jiaxiong's caravan would bring rich profits to Le'an. Moreover, Wang Jiaxiong's footprints have also spread all over Zhongshan County, where Le'an is located. The business network has already been established.

The reason why Fan Xiwen explained this to Zhou Jian and the others was because he needed to travel far away. He needs to visit those powerful people in Beijing to find a backer for Le'an. And, buy an official from Emperor Han. And the most important thing is to recruit a famous general or martial arts for the self-reliant forces. Otherwise, with troops alone and with the force of their own brothers, I am afraid that they will not be able to be invincible. Sometimes, a single general can change a war.

After explaining what happened, Fan Xiwen took Wang Fan, Wang Si and the personal guards of the four squadrons and began to set off, the reason why he wanted to take Wang Fan and Wang Si was because after taking them down, he had promised that they would be free after a year.

Wang Fan and Wang Si watched Fan Xiwen grow from nothing to the head of a county, and they had great hopes for Fan Xiwen, in their eyes, Fan Xiwen's rise was only a matter of time. A month ago, the two of them decided to follow Fan Xiwen for the rest of their lives, but wanted to go home to see their parents. to fulfill the filial piety of the Son of Man. Fan Xiwen naturally agreed. And, promised to walk with them.

For Wang Fan and Wang Si, Fan Xiwen still attaches great importance to them, they have always been loyal to themselves, and after a year of training. Wang Fan and Wang Si's leadership ability is considered good in the Le'an army, how could Fan Xiwen be willing to let them leave, so he was very happy to take them to Anping.

The team of more than 200 people was immense, and no force was willing to provoke it. Fan Xiwen was also happy to do it, but the investigators still sent out to investigate, first, to find out the way, and second, even if no one came to attack them. It can also be used to train the ability of scouts.
