Thousands of soldiers of the Tiger Division walked on the avenue holding helmets and memorial tablets, and the atmosphere was very solemn. Wherever the front section of the troops went, the people bowed down in unison. These soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country have died in battle, and they can no longer enjoy
They are not as prosperous as the human world. Their bravery is worthy of wealth and splendor, but they can no longer get it. The only thing the people can give them is this long bow and this full of reverence.
The procession was very long, and the people's backs were sore from bowing, so they stood up straight and rested for a while, and then bowed deeply.
A teenage boy on the roadside pulled his mother's clothes curiously and asked, "Mom, whose tablets are these?"
His mother replied: "My son, this is the memorial tablet of the king who died fighting for the people. My son, these are the most loyal kings."
The boy asked: "Mother, why did these royal masters die in battle?"
The woman touched her son's head and said, "My son, these kings and masters all died fighting to protect their families and the country, and for the sake of the suffering people in the world."
The boy blinked and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Mom, when I grow up, I want to be the king's master who protects my family and my country!"
The woman's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she touched her son's head with pity and said, "My son, you must remember that this is the tiger warrior of Duke Jin of Tianjin. When you grow up,
Just go to Tianjin”
An old man with a white beard stood on the edge of the road, leaning on a cane, and shed two lines of tears while looking at the memorial tablets. His son saw that his father was agitated and was afraid that something might happen to the old man, so he came up and said, "Old man, don't cry."
The old man leaned on crutches, looked at his son and said with a sigh: "You are an ordinary man, you work hard every day, but you still have a son and a daughter around your knees. It is a pity that these heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country died at a young age and no longer have any heirs.
."
When his son heard this, he didn't know how to answer.
The old man shook his head and said: "Who are the rebels among the kings of Tianjin? They are all heroes of our Ming Dynasty! Whoever speaks ill of the Duke of Jin in the future, old man, I will be the first to go up and fight to the death!"
The parading soldiers of the Huben Division carried the memorial tablets of the deceased. Thinking of Pao Ze who died tragically in battle, and looking at the people who all bowed to them, many of them were moved and shed tears for their dead comrades.
With the respect and courtesy of these common people, it is worthy of the hero to shed his blood and sacrifice his life for the country.
After the Huben Division walked over, other Ming troops from behind also came over. These Ming troops also held the memorial tablets of the victims and marched all the way. Although these Ming troops from various towns who died in the battle were not as brave as the Huben Division in killing the enemy, their records were not as good as the Huben Division.
Brilliant, but he was also a loyal warrior of the Ming Dynasty and was also respected by the people.
On the road from Chengtian Gate in the imperial city to Chaoyang Gate in the capital, the atmosphere was solemn and solemn. On the long street for more than ten miles, only the footsteps of the marching soldiers could be heard. No one was making loud noises, and no one was cheering or making noise.
Ma Ke, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, and Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, rode in the middle of the long game team, each holding a horse spear and a broadsword. They walked with their chests high in the eyes of the people in admiration. The two soldiers and horses were in Jinzhou.
During the battle, the fire gun soldiers who attacked Huang Taiji suffered the most casualties.
Although the number of places for the five thousand review is limited, some of the soldiers under the two men must hold two tablets each. However, the team behind the two is still the longest among the armies. Wang Pu has obtained some linen these days. At this time, Datong's soldiers and horses
They were all wearing hemp and holding up their rankings, which made the scene even more sad.
However, Wang Pu was walking on the main street of the capital. Although he held his head high, he felt a little weak in his heart. The closer he got to the imperial city, the more nervous Wang Pu became. He looked around and suddenly said to Ma Ke next to him: "Mr. Ma,
We surrounded the capital just a few days ago, how could the emperor stop being angry with us so soon?"
Ma Ke raised his chest and said: "The blood was rushing to my head that day. I was willing to do everything. Why did I think so much? Even if the emperor is angry, it is irreversible now!"
Wang Pu blinked and said: "General Ma, if we withdraw the army and lead five thousand soldiers without weapons into the city, will it be dangerous?"
"What would we do if the emperor ambushed a swordsman in the palace and captured the Duke of Jin and all nine of us?"
Marco was stunned for a moment, looked in the direction of the imperial city, and felt a little guilty.
However, he quickly regained his composure and said, "Wang Pu, don't be afraid. What a scheming figure Zu Dashou is who is entrenched in Jinzhou? He didn't dare to come to the capital every time the emperor called him. This time he dared to enter the capital, so he must be calculating.
I'm sure the emperor won't do anything to us. Even Zu Dashou dared to enter the palace, what should we be afraid of?"
Wang Pu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Ma Ke's analysis.
Marco continued: "If the emperor suddenly takes action, I don't know how many of the retreating border troops will surrender to the traitors and the Tatars. Look at the people in the capital on both sides. The people treat us as national warriors. If the emperor takes us, what will happen to the people in the capital?"
Look at the emperor? The emperor is a wise king and will never go against the people!"
Wang Pu thought for a while, then relaxed and smiled awkwardly.
The parade slowly moved forward and arrived in front of the Chengtian Gate. Under the guidance of the eunuchs and eunuchs, the procession entered from the Chengtian Gate and walked to the Meridian Gate. Li Zhi led nine general soldiers and stood in front of the soldiers. Behind them
The five thousand soldiers held the martyrs' helmets and tablets in their hands and stood behind the general.
Densely packed tablets were arranged in the hands of the soldiers. Behind each tablet, there was a martyr who fought bloody battles and sacrificed his life for the country. You can imagine how cruel and bloody the battle in Jinzhou was.
The eunuchs who were guiding the etiquette looked at the tablets, and their faces were moved. Some of the bloody little eunuchs shed tears just looking at them. However, this was the time to review the ceremony, and they did not dare to wipe their tears with their hands.
, just dared to stand still and let the tears flow down his face.
A quarter of an hour later, hundreds of "big Han generals" walked up to the Meridian Gate. Then the emperor's guard of honor was put up. Wang Chengen, the eunuch Wang Cheng'en, the eunuch and eunuch Bingbi, took the lead and walked up to the Meridian Gate and looked down.
Seeing those thousands of tablets, Wang Chengen was stunned.
After thinking for a while, Wang Chengen sighed and took his head back.
After a while, hundreds of Han generals shouted in unison: "The Emperor has arrived! Review the soldiers!"
The soldiers below the Meridian Gate straightened their clothes, straightened their helmets and memorial tablets, preparing to welcome the emperor's review.
Emperor Zhu Youjian walked up to the Meridian Gate and walked to the Meridian Gate.
Walking to the edge of the city wall, Zhu Youjian saw the thousands of tablets at the first glance. There was no doubt that these were the tablets of the soldiers who died in the Battle of Jinzhou.
If it weren't for these soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country, the country of Ming Dynasty might have been in danger. These young warriors ended their lives long ago for the sake of the country.
Zhu Youjian sighed and was speechless for a long time.
After a long silence, Zhu Youjian said slowly:
"The bloody warriors are all heroes of our Ming Dynasty!" 8
