Liu Yilong paused when he read this, he felt that there was a blood stirring in his chest, although he was a captain, but in fact he knew very well that he was not much different from these ordinary soldiers below, he was the same as them, and he also belonged to one of them.

No one has ever said a word for these ordinary sergeants since ancient times, let alone lifted them to such a high position!

And the soldiers below were even more silent, everyone was waiting, they wanted to see what His Royal Highness King Qin else said.

"At the end of the previous dynasty, the people of the world were struggling to make a living; In the Turkic invasion of the frontier, burning, killing and looting, all kinds of evil; In Tuguhun, the soldiers plundered and slaughtered the people of the Tang Dynasty. It was them, thousands of ordinary soldiers, who threw their heads and spilled their blood, put down the hoes in their hands, left the old lady at home, kissed their wives goodbye, hugged their children, and resolutely embarked on the road of fighting for the country. ”

"They are other people's sons, husbands, brothers, fathers, but they have never complained, they have never flinched."

"They paid an unimaginable price, not seeking to be a high-ranking official, not seeking to be famous in history, just to be able to live a peaceful and peaceful life for their families, nothing more. Now that I'm in the Tang Dynasty, I'm creating a prosperous era that has never been seen before, but in such a prosperous world, who is the hero of salvation? My grandfather is not, my father is not, our Tang royal family, the court officials, and the family lords are all not, those soldiers who can no longer see the blue sky are! ”

"Now, my father has decided to establish the Tang National Martyrs Cemetery in all the states of the Tang Dynasty to bury the heroes who sacrificed for the country! Their bodies will be reduced to ashes in the fire, but their spirits will live on! Their beliefs will be transformed into heroic spirits that will protect the people of the Tang Dynasty for generations! ”

"From today on, if one day, the barbarians of the four seas attack my Datang, they are the sharp blades of Datang! If one day, a natural disaster befalls my Datang, they will be the patron saints of Datang! If one day, Datang declines and falls into darkness, then they are the last fire of Datang! ”

"From today on, Datang will set up a flag with black Tang characters on a red background as the national flag, and the bright red flag means that the national flag of Datang is dyed red by the blood of countless martyrs, because it is these countless martyrs who have made countless sacrifices that have created an immortal monument to my Datang! It was they who poured their blood into the peaceful life of my Datang today! ”

"Finally, may all the martyrs who sacrificed their lives be immortal, and may their spirit be boundless to the country!"

Liu Yilong almost shouted out the last four words.

"Boundless with the country!"

"Boundless with the country!" Countless soldiers also shouted these four words with enthusiasm, and everyone felt that a wave of blood surged into their hearts, and His Highness's words made everyone have the urge to die for their confidants!

"Raise the national flag!" Liu Yilong and the others quieted down, waved their hands directly, and not far away, a 12-meter-long straight wooden flagpole that had been prepared was carried over here.

Next to the platform, the position of the flagpole had already been prepared, and these soldiers quickly erected the entire flagpole directly.

Then a red flag was carried here, and the soldier in charge of raising the flag had apparently been trained to tie the flag to the rope of the flagpole.

When he was ready, Liu Yilong shouted loudly: "Beat the drum!" Salute! ”

The dull drum sounded, and all the soldiers gave the Tang Dynasty military salute to this banner with a sigh.

The soldier in charge of raising the flag was skillfully pulling the rope of the flag, and the bright red flag soon began to rise with the soldier's raised hand.

When it rises high into the sky, the bright red flag blows in the wind and hunts.

In the center of the two-meter-four-long, one-meter-six-wide flag, a black "Tang" character kept shining.

Almost at the same time, all the gates of the entire Chang'an City, in front of the city tower on the city wall, in the center of the Vermilion Bird Square, and on the various school grounds outside Chang'an City, in addition to the army's flag, the national flag of the Tang Dynasty is constantly rising.

This will be the first national flag to be officially established in ancient times, and it will also signify the awakening of a country's sense of sovereignty.

……

When the national flag was raised in Chang'an City, in a village about thirty miles away from Chang'an, the team of Princess Changle of the Tang Dynasty had already arrived at the periphery of the village, and the people in the village did not know that Changle was coming, and the Li Zheng who followed in front was also the news that Changle received when they arrived.

Today's Changle set off early in the morning, although it was the first time to ride a horse for thirty miles, but Changle did not feel tired, but felt that there was an inexplicable responsibility on his body.

When the long procession arrived in the village, it still alarmed the villagers.

At first, the people in the village were shocked, after all, they were an ordinary village, except for some merchants and the like, there would be no outsiders at all, although it was very close to Chang'an City.

But now a troop of cavalry has arrived, and if it weren't for the banner in the cavalry ranks, they would have thought something had happened.

Even so, some people in the village walked out as soon as possible, and the village chief naturally rushed here as soon as possible.

The village chief was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, and when he walked out with most of the villagers, Changle had already turned over and dismounted directly, and all the guards who followed Changle naturally did the same.

Seeing that the leader of the team was such a beautiful and moving woman, the village chief who took the lead didn't dare to look at it more, so he hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Chen Li, the village chief of Chendong Village, has seen this nobleman. ”

"Village Chief Chen Li, this is Her Royal Highness Princess Changle, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty." Li Zheng next to Changle hurriedly spoke.

"Ah, Chen Li has seen Her Royal Highness Princess Changle." Chen Li was stunned for a moment, eldest princess? Princess Changle?

"Village Chief Chen is exempt, I came today to come to condolence on behalf of my father and the Tang royal family, Village Chief Chen doesn't need to be polite, I wonder if Village Chief Chen can take me to Wang Zhuying's house?" Changle said softly.

Wang Zhu hero?

Chen Li was stunned for a moment, Wang Zhu had been killed in battle for more than a year, and he was killed in the conflict of organizing the Tuyuhun column to loot in the seventh year of Zhenguan.

"Of course this is possible, Your Highness, please come with me." Chen Li hurriedly bent down and saluted.

The surrounding people are full of curiosity about Changle, after all, this is a princess, and she is almost impossible to see in ordinary times, but now when I look at it, Princess Changle is really good-looking! Many people were secretly watching around, Chen Li wanted to drive people away, but Changle stopped him, but first smiled and saluted the people around him.

"Fellow villagers, although it has passed the Yuan Zheng now, but here, please allow me Li Lizhen, on behalf of my father, on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, and on behalf of my third brother King Qin, I would like to say to you: Happy New Year!"

"I wish you all the best and every year."

After speaking, Changle bowed down to everyone.

When all the people heard this, their faces were immediately full of joy, and they hurriedly replied awkwardly: "We also wish Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and His Royal Highness the Princess a happy New Year, peace and happiness, year after year." ”
