Wang Dagen immediately knelt down, and before reaching out to take his son's ashes, he banged his head on the hard frozen ground and cried loudly: "Master Hou is so kind, the old man brought me up, I thank you."
!”
Neighbors who came after hearing the news were deeply saddened when they heard that Wang Renjie was killed in battle.
But now, everyone has a solemn look on his face, and when he looks at Fang Jun and other soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, his respect and gratitude are unreserved!
They are all heroes in Guanzhong. From the end of the Sui Dynasty to the present, there have been wars almost every year. Which family does not have a hero who died on the battlefield? Throughout the ages, if you go to the battlefield, your life will not be regarded as human life.
, to be a lonely ghost.
die on the battlefield?
That is not the most miserable thing, but the luckiest one. For most of the soldiers who died in battle, it is a luxury to have a big kang to bury them. Where can there be so many horse skins to wrap you?
From ancient times to the present, Chinese people have always paid attention to returning to their roots and their souls when the leaves fall. But on the battlefield, how can you care about so many people? Death is death. No matter how sad or concerned, there is only one name left for future generations to pay homage to, the bones have long been gone.
I don’t know where it is rotting, and the flesh and blood have been eaten by wild beasts and birds of prey...
Sometimes, death is not terrible. On the day when the family prepares swords and horses and sends their sons to the army, they are still prepared to die in battle. The most painful thing for family members is actually leaving their bodies in the wilderness after being killed in battle.
of misery.
But everyone knows how difficult it is to bring back the remains of fallen soldiers after a war. So what the Marquis is doing now, how can we not admire and be deeply grateful to everyone?
A young man ran out of the room and stared blankly at his father and a group of soldiers kneeling to each other. Then he came back to his senses and saw his father taking a jar from the black-faced general and turning around to hand it over.
He wiped a handful of tears on his hand and warned in a deep voice: "Take care of your big brother!"
The young man was excited, and quickly hugged the jar tightly in his arms. He remembered the love and care his eldest brother had shown him in the past, and tears fell down. When he raised his eyes again, he looked at Fang Jun with eyes full of gratitude.
Wang Dagen wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice: "It's funny to the Marquis. How can a man from Guanzhong come up with so many effeminate manners? The old man didn't say much, so he could bring back the ashes of an unfilial son, so that
The old man can bury him in his ancestral grave. When he misses him, he can go to the grave to see him. The Marquis's kindness will be unforgettable to the Li family! Mr. Marquis, his appearance is decent and his humble house is simple. If you don't mind it, please come in and have a cup of hot wine.
The water warms your body..."
"Old man, you don't have to be like this. Wang Renjie is my brother Fang Jun, so I, Fang Jun, have to bring him back. This is my responsibility and my obligation! Even if I can't bring him back alive, I still have to bring him back alive.
Take the ashes back to your hometown for burial, otherwise my Fang Jun will be ashamed of his brother!"
Fang Jun spoke in a sonorous tone, then patted Wang Dagen on the shoulder and pulled him up: "I will not enter the house anymore. In this Western Expedition, hundreds of brothers were killed. I will send the brothers home one by one.
There is no time to delay, so I’ll say goodbye!”
The soldiers behind him handed over the copper coins and cloth rewarded by the Ministry of War to the Wang family, and then handed over a certificate issued by the Ministry of War to Wang Dagen. This is the certificate of Yinmeng. With this certificate, the Wang family can Yinmeng.
One person is the captain of the Shenji Battalion, and he only needs to submit this certificate to the Ministry of War, and then record the detailed information of the Yinmeng person in a book.
Wang Dagen was grateful. Although his son had sacrificed his life for all this and deserved it all, it was a completely different feeling to have it handed over to him personally by a marquis.
Even if he dies, his son's death was worth it!
He died fighting for this empire, and the empire did not forget him after his death. For a man in Guanzhong, this is the greatest compliment!
It is enough for a handsome man to die a worthy death!
Fang Jun led a group of soldiers to pay a military salute to Li Dagen, turned around and left. He also wanted to hand over the ashes of all the fallen brothers to their relatives, the sooner the better.
Suddenly there was a shout from behind.
"Master Hou, when I grow up, I will also serve as a soldier for you!"
Hearing this, Fang Jun stopped and turned around. He looked at the young man who was holding his eldest brother's ashes tightly but had a determined look on his face, and asked with a smile: "Why, you are not afraid of death?"
The young man scratched his head and said: "A man, a real man, should go into battle to kill the enemy and reimburse his family and country! I want to avenge my elder brother. In the future, I will kill all the Turks, and I will kill all the barbarians in the Western Regions!"
Wang Dagen said: "You bastard, how dare you speak dirty words in front of the Marquis?"
Fang Jun laughed loudly: "What a good boy, he is worthy of being your eldest brother's brother, and he is not a coward! What is your name?"
"My name is Wang Xiaojie!"
"Okay! Let's make an agreement. When you grow up, come to me, and I will take you to expand the territory and make immortal achievements!"
Fang Jun laughed and turned around, leading the soldiers towards the Yangchang Mountain Road.
He really likes this little guy named Wang Xiaojie. He is energetic and has a fierce spirit. He is a good prospect!
Little did he know that it was this boy who would cause a bloody storm in the Western Regions in the future, making Tubo cry for father and mother...

Shenji camp station.
The atmosphere in the barracks was solemn. Changsun Chong had a livid face and glared resentfully at Liu Rengui and Duan Zan in front of him.
"The imperial decree has been issued. From this moment on, I am the admiral and the highest officer of the Shenji Battalion! However, Fang Jun did not realize it and actually returned the ashes of the soldiers door to door. What did he want to do? To win people's hearts?
! He simply regards the imperial decree as if it is nothing, and his intention is to be punished! No wonder this person wants to cremate the remains of those fallen soldiers and bring the ashes back. It turns out that he has such thoughts, it is simply abominable! I am also surprised that some mud-legged people died
He's dead, so why go to all the trouble to bring his ashes back? It's really insidious and cunning!"
Changsun Chong said angrily, wishing he could cut Fang Jun into pieces with a thousand knives!
I am still happy to hand over the Shenji Camp to my Majesty, and I am just about to humiliate Fang Jun. Didn’t the powerful army you worked so hard to build fall into my hands in the end? But who knew that Fang Jun was having fun?
Such a method of "inviting to buy people's hearts" could disgust Changsun Chong to death!
In this way, among the soldiers in the camp and the families of those who died in battle, who does not remember Fang Jun's kindness and praises him for his responsibility?
Just such a simple move made Fang Jun's reputation soaring in the Shenji camp. Even if he took over the post of admiral, how could he win over the hearts of people moved by Fang Jun?
Simply abominable!
Duan Zan and Liu Rengui stood solemnly, with expressionless faces, but they were quite disapproving in their hearts.
What did Your Majesty think that he would hand over the Shenji Camp to such a young man?
It is undeniable that Chang Sun Chong did a good job in the Shenji Camp, but that was all. In the past, Chang Sun Chong served as the chief historian and dealt with some logistical matters. The real training of soldiers was done by Fang Junyi
Picking it up, Changsun Chong has never shown anything outstanding.
More importantly, the Shenji Battalion is not only a combat force, but also has a firearms research workshop! That is the foundation of the Shenji Battalion!
How can Changsun Chong master those powerful sky-shaking thunders?
At least Duan Zan and Liu Rengui are not very optimistic about it.
Changsun Chong vented his anger and realized that he had lost his composure. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter is over, I will advise your Majesty and impeach Fang Jun for his ulterior motives in doing this. From now on.
, Fang Jun is no longer the admiral of the Shenji Battalion, and I hope that the two of you can correct your stance and advance and retreat with me, and I will naturally not treat you badly."
There is no way, the Shenji Battalion is a group of arrogant soldiers who are not easy to subdue. Without the support of these two people, my admiral will be in name only. The most important thing right now is to stabilize the Shenji Battalion, and Fang Jun must not be transferred away again.
If there is any turmoil later, it will inevitably make you lose points in His Majesty's eyes. This is an absolutely unacceptable situation.
Duan Zan was noncommittal and kept silent. He didn't think highly of Changsun Chong. He always felt that this man was just relying on His Majesty's favor and prominent family background. In terms of talent, he was far behind Fang Jun. At the very least, he
Then he won’t follow Zhangsun with all his heart...
He is not afraid of Changsun Chong. Your family background is prominent. Are we inferior?
Not to mention Liu Rengui. Although he was born in a humble background, when he was a county captain, he dared to kill the captain of Zhe Chong Mansion. Is he still afraid of Changsun Chong now?
Therefore, despite Chang Sun Chong's repeated attempts to win over him, these two powerful figures in the Shenji camp remained silent.
Only then did Changsun Chong sadly realize that his ideal attempt to use the divine machine to ennoble a marquis and become a general might burst like a bubble...
