Chapter 142: Someone is carrying a load
Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned!
For iron-blooded soldiers on the battlefield, dying on the battlefield for the interests of the motherland is undoubtedly the highest interest. But now is not in ancient times, in order to commend and commemorate these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, the country has also established a corresponding martyr's cemetery for burial.
Those who are eligible to hide in the cemetery are all martyrs or those who bravely sacrificed their lives for the interests of the country. It is said that the deceased is gone, but for those comrades-in-arms who survived the battle side by side, seeing these tombstones that stood resolutely, their hearts were full of mixed feelings.
Only stopped in the capital of Caiyun for one night, and the next day, Tang Jingyun, who was the landlord and guide, made a special trip to ask for leave to accompany Mu Shanhe and his party. Knowing that Mu Shanhe came to Caiyun to invest and start a business, Caiyun naturally attached great importance to and welcomed it.
The most important thing is that if Caiyun's matsutake industry can really earn foreign exchange through exports, it will undoubtedly be a political achievement for Caiyun. Letting Tang Jingyun accompany the inspection can be regarded as performing official duties. This kind of work is something that many people want to do!
But the people on Caiyun's side also know that there is also a bigger Kyoto prince Xu Siwen who came with Mushanhe. If others want to take the job of this guide, it depends on whether Xu Siwen recognizes it or not.
Knowing that Mu Shanhe and his entourage planned to go to Wenzhou Cemetery to worship the martyrs buried in the cemetery, another accompanying guide was specially assigned above. Unlike Tang Jingyun, this guide is very familiar with the situation in the cemetery.
When it comes to the construction and management of the cemetery, it is basically led by the department where the guide belongs. Although Mu Shanhe did not disclose that he planned to donate a sum of money for free. But if he gives face like this, he naturally won't refuse.
After arriving in Wenzhou, the guide contacted the local area to arrange a vehicle, and Mu Shanhe and his party did not take a break, and went straight to the martyrs' cemetery that had been repaired. When the group arrived at the foot of the mountain, Sun Xuan and the others who got off the car seemed a little hesitant.
Knowing that Sun Xuan and the others are not afraid, but more of a taste of homesickness. Mu Shanhe, who had been a soldier in his previous life and had also felt the sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms, naturally knew that Sun Xuan, Wang Jianguo and others must have a very complicated taste in his heart at this moment.
stepped forward and patted Sun Xuan and Wang Jianguo on the shoulder, Mu Shanhe said in a calm tone: "Xuanzi, Jianguo, it's all here, why should you hesitate?" I believe that the old comrades-in-arms in the cemetery will be very happy and relieved to see you. ”
Xu Siwen, who accompanied him, couldn't experience this kind of comradeship because he had never been a soldier. Sun Xuan, who was comforted, also immediately said, "Well, thank you." Originally, I wanted to come for a long time, but I never had the opportunity before! ”
Sun Xuan, who was talking, his voice had become a little hoarse, and even his emotions had become a little lost. Because he knows that in the cemetery above, there are several comrades-in-arms who fought side by side with him in the past, but finally died bravely.
Under the guidance of the local guide, Mu Shanhe and Xu Siwen deliberately let Sun Xuan and the others walk in front of the team, but they followed behind. Looking at those neatly erected tombstones, Mu Shanhe and his entourage also had a very solemn expression.
Especially for Mu Shanhe, who was in it, he also served here in his previous life. Even next to the company he served, there was a small martyrs' cemetery, which also contained martyrs who died in self-defense and counterattacks, as well as other martyrs who sacrificed for the country.
Every year during the Qingming Festival, the leaders of the company will take them to pay tribute and clean the cemetery. In fact, there are corresponding memorial sacrifices for these large martyrs' cemeteries established every year. Some of these memorials are organized, while others are spontaneous.
Standing in front of one of the tombstones, Sun Xuan, who was already in a low mood, instantly burst into tears, and while tears kept pouring out of his eyes, he didn't cry. This kind of suppressed sadness makes people feel even more sour when they see it.
On the contrary, it was Wang Jianguo, standing next to him and whispering: "The owner of this tombstone is the platoon commander of Xuanzi. At that time, their platoon was responsible for assault missions, and their platoon commander died on the spot. And Xuanzi, in that assault battle, almost died.
The entire assault platoon consisted of nearly fifty people, and in the end, less than a squad survived alive. Listening to Xuanzi, during the assault operation, he was almost killed by a grenade thrown by the enemy, and it was their platoon commander who quickly threw him to the ground.
In the end, Xuanzi successfully survived, but the platoon commander was seriously injured and died without even waiting for follow-up rescue. Because of this incident, Xuanzi has always been haunted. But after he was discharged from the army, he would send money to the platoon commander's family every year to help. ”
On battlefields like this, there are many examples of saving comrades who end up dying. But for those soldiers who were saved and survived, how could this life-saving grace of exchanging lives for lives be forgotten if they wanted to?
"Jianguo, there are comrades-in-arms in this cemetery, right?"
"Yes! Our regiment was also fighting here at that time, and it belonged to the same combat sequence as Xuanzi and their regiment. I was able to survive back then, thanks to my old squad leader who sacrificed his life to save me. It's a pity that I walked off the battlefield alive, but the squad leader didn't. ”
"Are your squad leaders buried here too?"
"No, the comrades-in-arms of our regiment are buried in another martyr's cemetery. But there are many names of martyrs here, as well as the troops in which they served, in fact, I have an impression. On the battlefield, they are actually my comrades. ”
Knowing that at this time, it was better to let Sun Xuan and another bodyguard wait quietly for the memorial, and Mu Shanhe also motioned for everyone to come to the side. Taking the opportunity, Mushanhe also asked the local guide about some information about the cemetery.
After listening, Mu Shanhe immediately said: "Director Yang, there should be many veterans in the local area who participated in the battle back then and finally retired due to injuries, right?" Is it more difficult to resettle them? ”
Director Yang, who was questioned, was the person in charge of the cemetery in Caiyun. In the face of Mu Shanhe's inquiry, Director Yang also nodded and said, "Indeed!" But we try to arrange what they can do, and this is our responsibility and obligation. ”
"Yes! Can't let the hero shed blood and tears, just the cemetery here in Wenzhou, there should be a lot of people, right? ”
"Yes, it was arranged! But when it comes to taking care of the cemetery, it's not a lot of work. But if you have to house too many people, I'm afraid there will be difficulties. ”
"Old Tang, if I donate a sum of money specifically for the maintenance and construction of the cemetery, as well as the placement of disabled veterans, is it allowed in the policy? If you can ensure that the funds are earmarked, I will donate a sum of money every year.
As Director Yang said, we can't let the heroes shed blood and tears. Moreover, in my opinion, if we can enjoy the peace and tranquility now, why not these heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country are carrying the burden for us? ”
There is no time to be quiet, but someone is carrying the weight for you. This is also a saying that circulated on the Internet in later generations, but in Mu Shanhe's opinion, this is very reasonable. And this cemetery in front of you is the best proof of this.
For this kind of gratuitous donation, although the special funds are limited, Tang Jingyun feels that the problem should not be big. Especially when he learned that the first donation reached 1 million, and Xu Siwen also donated 500,000, that is, 1.5 million.
Who would refuse such a sum of money for the units that are currently financially strained? In addition, Mushanhe is a gratuitous donation without any strings attached. With such a kind donation, he really couldn't think of a reason to refuse!
