Chapter 1519 Under the platform are all the bones of my army and people in the Song Dynasty
Chapter 1519
Ten miles away, I rode my horse and ran wildly, and it was just a cup of tea. I saw the Yongle City, which had already become broken walls and rafters, standing on a cliff on three sides, and a gentle slope on one side, about three miles away from Wuding River.
There were already overgrown weeds inside and outside, and unknown small trees even grew from some broken walls and rafters.
The sound of the riding of the riding under Wang Yang was shocked by the wild birds flapping their wings and flying south, looking at the dead grass that was already stained with autumn frost. Wang Yang was really moved. The first release of the New Bayi Chinese website
In less than twenty years, the Song Dynasty suffered a rare defeat in decades. Nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians were slaughtered here, and the battlefield of the Battle of Yongle City, which was almost flooded by the weeds.
Perhaps after decades, or even a hundred years, perhaps no one remembers that this place once lost all face in the Song Dynasty, and also made Emperor Shenzong, the enterprising emperor of the Song Dynasty, depressed and eventually died of illness.
Behind him, the increasingly dense sound of hoofs finally interrupted Wang Yang's feelings. He turned his head and looked over. Thousands of elite Song cavalry were rushing towards this side. After approaching the ruins of Yongle City, the soldiers consciously tightened the reins and set their eyes on the ruins.
Seeing the soldiers pointing at the ruins in a low voice, their faces looked extremely heavy, Wang Yang took a deep breath, turned his horse's head, and after asking the place where the bones were buried, he beat the horse again and headed towards the hillside west of Yongle City.
After rushing up the hillside, Wang Yang saw a huge, sparse weed platform, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Zhe Keshi pointed to the platform that seemed a little empty and said with a stern voice.
"Master, all the corpses outside Yongle City have been identified. Any corpses that were not wearing Western Xia costumes or wearing Western Xia armor were buried here."
"As for the corpses of the Xixia thieves who had confirmed their identity, they were all thrown into the valley not far away by us."
"What do you mean is that under this platform covering an area of nearly one mile, are all the bones of my Song military and civilians?" Wang Yang took a deep breath, turned over and dismounted, and asked, looking at the sparse weed platform.
"It is... these are the soil that was dug out and buried in the pit and refilled back into the solid cover. In order to avoid being invaded by wild animals, we specially asked the war horses to step on them tightly, which caused the strangeness here." Zhe Keshi nodded and replied.
"One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians...that are ten thousand living creatures, one hundred thousand people of the Song Dynasty, just one battle, the little city of Leyong..." Wang Yang felt very upset when he heard the bleak cold wind. New 81 Chinese website is updated the fastest computer terminal:/
"But someone has gone to worship here?" Wang Yang's eyes soon noticed the strangeness around this platform without much vegetation, the scattered unburned paper money, and the remains of the incense and candles.
It seems that many people here have come here to perform sacrificial activities. Seeing this scene, Wang Yang raised his eyebrows high, a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes, and a little sadness.
Zhe Keshi nodded with a little sad expression and explained. "After we buried the corpses here, some of the soldiers came to worship, as well as the relatives and relatives of the dead refugees..."
"Since that's the case, does the Yinzhou Magistrate know about this place?" Wang Yang nodded slightly and looked into the distance. The new city is only ten miles away from the Yongle City ruins. Looking north from this high platform, you can also see the faint outline.
"This is really unaware of this subordinate." Zhe Keshi heard a hint of displeasure from Wang Yang's calm tone, and couldn't help but feel pounding in his heart, but he understood very well that it must have a lot to do with this desolate bone-burying platform.
"Where is Yang Shouyi?" Wang Yang took a deep breath, looked at the platform where more than 100,000 dead soldiers and civilians were buried below, and suddenly shouted loudly.
"The last general is here, what are the commands of the general?" Yang Shouyue did not dare to neglect and quickly went out.
"I will pass on the orders of the generals to speed up the troops who are following the boat north and land here to gather here. If they are not arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, the military will be dealt with by law!"
"No!" Yang Shouyue quickly responded to the promise loudly, turned around and sent orders to the soldiers behind him, and soon more than eleven were galloping towards the south.
"Brother Zhe, please send a letter to Yinzhou City immediately, so that the Yinzhou Magistrate will come here to see me immediately after hearing the news. By the way, the people, the villagers, the gentry and merchants in Yinzhou City all choose several respectable people to come. By the way, let the Yinzhou shopkeepers of Wanhong Trading Club come together."
"Sir, you are..." Zhe Keshi lowered his voice and asked Wang Yang.
"Mr. Wang wants to build a towering tower here to commemorate the 100,000 heroic souls of the Song Dynasty." Wang Yang patted Che Ke's shoulders and looked into the distance with deep eyes.
"They have dedicated their lives to me, the Song Dynasty, and at least let their spirits in heaven know. The Song Dynasty will definitely remember the merits and glory they have made for the Song Dynasty."
After Wang Yang said this, he went straight forward. Zhe Keshi turned his head and looked at the place where the bones were buried, and then looked at Wang Yang, his eyes couldn't help but feel a little warm.
"Eunuch Xu, please come and pick up the pigeon. I have an urgent request. I will report to Your Majesty..." After Wang Yang walked not far away, he ordered a middle-aged man in the army who was also wearing Yuanyou's iron armor but had a white face.
"Please wait for a while," Eunuch Xu nodded and quickly turned around to do it.
After receiving Wang Yang's military order, the ships that were originally rippling in the Wuding River naturally did not dare to slack off at all and began to accelerate.
The soldiers on the boat looked at each other and didn't know what was going on. Fortunately, there was no change along the way, and the soldiers rushed to the near the ruins of Yongle City as quickly as possible and climbed the river bank.
After inquiring about the former musketeers who had already begun camping here, they found out that the general seemed to have to let the army camp here because of the 100,000 soldiers and civilians who died here.

At this time, we had already received the news that officials, gentry, people, villagers, and representatives of merchants from Yinzhou, which were only more than 40 miles away from the former site of Yongle City, also arrived here in convenient and fast four-wheeled carriages.
"The subordinate officials met with the general. Unknown generals came, and the subordinate officials were in a misfortune to welcome him..." Zhao Sui, the governor of Yinzhou, looked a little worried and terrified.
"No need to be polite. This area should be under Yinzhou, right?" Wang Yang raised his hand and asked with a faint smile after helping him.
"Yes, this area is fifty miles south of this area, which is the border between our Yinzhou and the Suide Army."
"That's good, I asked you, have you heard of the sacrifices here?" Wang Yang pointed his hand at the desolate bone-burying place behind him, and his tone seemed a little heavy.
"I have indeed heard that many relatives of the people are buried here in Yinzhou, Suide City, Yanchuan, Yan'an Prefecture and other places. Every Qingming Festival, they will come to worship..." Zhao Sui looked at Wang Yang's expression and answered carefully.
