The Tang state had nine states and sixteen cities. Novel rankings
The first stop for this group of people was Luocheng, Qingzhou.
Go there to meet the troops and take the oath. It is said that every cannon fodder, before being transferred to the Xia Kingdom, always goes there, drinks blood wine, and swears an oath to serve the country and the people, throw their heads and shed blood.
He left with the belief that he would die, just so that the people who stayed behind could live a more stable life, and for the remaining people of the Tang Dynasty to rest and recuperate.[
Yan'er originally had no idea about this.
But when she actually arrived in Luo City, Yan'er was immediately shocked.
Throughout Luo City, red and white lanterns are hung. The red represents their eternal memory of blood, and the white represents their determination to die. The entire city is solemn and tragic. In the center of the city, there is a tall monument.
There are no patterns or words. There are only messy traces one after another. Some are deep and some are shallow, and the thickness is different.
"Every time when we take the oath of loyalty, the commander will carve twelve marks on it, one mark for each weapon, representing the entire martial arts world of our Tang Kingdom. Whether they are alive or dead, this monument will be remembered by the people of the Tang Kingdom.
, will remember.
Yan'er stood in front of the monument and listened to the introduction to her by the people beside her.
Only then did Yan'er understand why people who didn't come here didn't dare to call themselves warriors.
That's because people who haven't been here will never understand what kind of determination and absolute determination the warriors have for the country and the people, for their own homes, and for their relatives.
Great ambitions cannot be understood through practice.
Following the example of others, she bowed deeply to the stone tablet. At this moment, she felt that all the blood in her body was boiling. She had the urge to rush to the battlefield and fight the enemy for 300 rounds.
.
The martial arts master who led the team organized a meeting with other places. There were about two thousand people in the square in front of the stone monument.
Yan'er stood among them and was instantly submerged.
There were so many people standing together, from the initial chaos to the later silence. During such a long period of time, there was no noise at all. Except occasionally, the voices of some old people introducing the stone tablet to newcomers could be heard.
At this time, a tall middle-aged man wearing bronze armor stood in front of the stone tablet. A group of soldiers came over carrying a stack of large porcelain bowls, one by one in a row, and each person was given one. Then one by one.
Taking turns, pour half a bowl of wine for everyone.
When he reached Yan'er, the soldier was a little surprised. But he didn't say anything. He quietly gave her a bowl and poured half of it for her. Then he walked to the next one. However, Yan'er saw that there was nothing but perseverance in his eyes.
Outside, there is still a faint hint of water vapor spreading.
This is the cannon fodder team, the death team. They all know what their purpose is, and only such a death team will come here to swear their oaths. Because this is their last glory and pride. This is an honor that no one else has...
Because they died for the country.
The general in front put his finger into his mouth, bit it until blood dripped into the wine, and raised his hands high: "For the sake of our country."
More than two thousand people, with exactly the same movements, raised their wine bowls high together and roared together: "For the sake of the family and the country."
"For my parents and brothers."
"For my parents and brothers."
"For future generations."[
"For future generations."
"Swear to build glory with blood!"
"Swear to build glory with blood!"
"Dry!"
"Dry!"
The general drank first and threw the bowl to the ground. The bowl broke into pieces. Others continued to follow. Then, the general began to take weapons from the people next to him and carved one mark after another on the stone tablet.
"Swear to build glory with blood!" Yan'er chewed these words gently in his mouth, but his heart was filled with boundless pride and bitterness. Everyone here actually understood that from the time they arrived in Luo City, they
Everyone understands. So, they are suffering because going here means that only the bones will return home. But they are also very proud, because this is for their family and country, for their parents and brothers, and for their descendants... because this is the country&
Because they are dependent countries and do not have absolute independence. Therefore, they have nothing to do, so they have responsibilities that they must bear.
That’s why all of this seems so tragic! It makes people cry with pride and excitement, and makes people feel painful and sad!
