Although Li Daozong and others were stunned, this kind of scene was ...... They can only move on.

"Salute Mrs. Li and her family!" Every time he walked a distance, one of the lieutenants shouted loudly, and with the captain's roar, all the soldiers around him saluted in unison.

Mrs. is a female grade in Datang, which is equivalent to an official position, and it is natural to call for an official position on this occasion.

At first, Li Daozong and his family were a little confused, but when they heard what the other party shouted, everyone was excited.

Mrs. Li, who was with Li Daozong, had even more red eyes, she couldn't hold back her tears, the status of women in the Tang Dynasty is relatively high, but it is only relative to the dynasties, from the history books that have been handed down to future generations, even the princess, queen and other high-status female names, birthdays, etc. can not be completely left to know how big this invisible status gap is.

And at this moment, Mrs. Li has an unspeakable emotion in her chest, excited? Grateful? Unbelievable? Or is it a grievance? It's just that she's never been so respected, never! Because this kind of respect is completely different from the kind of respect of a slave. Mixed emotions made her almost cry, but she held back.

The three sons who followed behind Li Daozong were also excited, their faces turned red, and they wanted to go down and shout with those soldiers at this moment, but there was an inexplicable emotion, which made them straighten their waists on the horse, raise their heads and not squint.

The two daughters of Li Daozong at the back seem to be relatively calm, the older ones are fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger ones are only twelve or thirteen years old.

In this way, as they continued to advance, the voices of the captains continued to sound, "Salute!" ”

"Salute!"

Uniform movements, like waves, wave after wave.

Li Daozong and his family went from shock, excitement, and emotion at the beginning, to a sense of indescribable honor in the end.

Until they arrived in front of Li Ke, there were a thousand guards standing on both sides of Li Ke holding ceremonial swords, these ceremonial knives were used exclusively by the Tang Praetorian Guard, and they were used for ceremonial swords such as major festivals or important sacrifices.

The knife is two feet eight inches long, with a gold handle and a crystal pendant, which is used for killing the enemy and a guard of honor.

Li Ke's location is standing underground, and he didn't build a high platform or anything like that, which is too obvious.

Li Daozong and his party stopped from a long distance, and then turned over and dismounted.

After everyone dismounted, Li Daozong led his family to Li Ke, and then he was moved to kneel and salute, Li Ke directly looked fast, walked two steps quickly, supported Li Daozong, and did not let him kneel.

"General Li, we don't welcome you today!" Li Ke stopped him and said.

"Your Highness...... How can the ministers and their families be worthy of such courtesy! Li Daozong said with a look of shame.

"General Li, this is a mistake." Li Ke said with a serious face.

After speaking, Li Ke took a step back, and then said loudly: "Soldiers! ”

As Li Ke's voice sounded, some of the surrounding soldiers naturally transmitted his voice in all directions.

"General Li just told me how he and his family can be worthy of this courtesy! I told him that was wrong! I am not only saying this to General Li, but also to all the soldiers! ”

"I know that some of you, when you receive the order, may also wonder in your hearts, why do you want to be so polite to General Li's family!"

"I'll tell you why today!"

"General Li, including all the soldiers present, for the sake of tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment, you did not hesitate to abandon your own life and come to this bitter cold place in the Western Regions, you risked your lives, endured the suffering of the plateau and the scorching sun, to put it mildly, in order to protect the Tang Dynasty forever! The people live and work in peace and contentment! To put it mildly, it's to protect your respective families behind you! ”

"You are other people's sons, husbands, and fathers! You came here at the risk of never seeing your parents, your wife, your children again, so that they would not have to take such risks in the future! ”

"You are the greatest people in Datang! Because of you, the people can live and work in peace and contentment, have clothes to wear, houses to live in, land to plant, food to eat, and books to read! But, have you ever thought about your family?!"

"They are at home, looking forward to the safe return of their sons, husbands, and fathers! I am afraid every day, for fear that one day what awaits you will not be your triumph, but a handful of dry bones, or even a rag! ”

"While they are scared, they have to work hard to raise their families."

"So, now you guys get it?! The greatness is yours, but the hardship is theirs! Now tell me, do military families like General Lee's family deserve such courtesy?! ”

With Li Ke's words, all the soldiers had red circles in their eyes, everyone had a family, and everyone thought about their own family. But at this moment, in addition to missing them, they also have a sense of pride, and glory fills their hearts! Because, these words of His Highness represent a heavy responsibility!

When Li Ke asked the last question, almost everyone shouted loudly with all their strength: "It's worth it!" ”

"It's worth it!"

"It's worth it!"

A uniform roar resounded throughout the world! Li Daozong was also excited, but at this moment he could only bear it silently. And Mrs. Li and Li Daozong's concubine next to her were already in tears.

Li Ke didn't speak, but waited for all the soldiers' emotions to calm down before he raised his hand.

The scene immediately fell silent.

"Today, this ceremony is not for me Li Ke to put on a show, but I want to use this ceremony to tell all of you: the country, first there is a country and then there is a family, the country is the embodiment of the family, and the family is the foundation of the country! I won't tell you anything about loyalty and patriotism, because there is no need, you just need to know that you are fighting here to protect your family! ”

"If you protect your family, it means that you have protected the country, and it also means that you are loyal to Your Majesty."

"In the future, you may shed your blood, or you may die in battle, Shroud of Horse Skin! Even after you die in battle, the ordinary people of Datang will not know you! I won't know about you! But your blood will melt into the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty! The mountains of Datang will know you! The rivers of Datang will know you! Datang will not forget you! "

"I hope you will remember my words today! Keep them in your heart! ”

"And I, Li Ke, as the prince of the Tang Dynasty, I can't do much, but I can't let you, the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, bleed, and then let your family members shed tears! So as the protector of Xizhou, I promise to all of you! I have sent people to survey the bottom of the Huangshui Valley, which is very suitable for growing food, the land is fertile, and there is enough water for irrigation. ”

"Therefore, you soldiers who stayed on the border, if your family members are willing to migrate to Xizhou, I am willing to pay for it privately, and send someone to escort your family members to move here! Then out of the 100 acres of land allocated to each household, the number of Yongye fields will increase to 50 acres! ”

"In addition, whether you want to move here or not, starting today, each soldier will receive 150 Wen military salary every month, and then each border garrison will increase for one year, and the monthly salary will increase by 20% every month! This money is directly spent by the Tang royal family! The monthly income of other generals and officials also rose by two percent! ”

"There's not much I can do, but I hope that you heroes can have no worries while sacrificing your lives to defend your country!"
