Chapter VIII The Eternal Loyalty
Chapter 8: The Loyalty and Fierce of Eternal
Qin, Xianyang, Nanshu.
Fusu looked at the two battle reports in front of him with a heavy expression:
West Route Army:
War damage: More than 9,700 people died in battle and caused by injuries, illness, etc., five of which died of injuries and illness; more than 3,400 horses were lost.
Results of the battle: The heads of the Huns were 45,000, the heads of the civilians were 237,000, the heads of the cattle and sheep were 730,000, and the war horses were 53,000.
Eastern Route Army:
War damage: about 40,000 people died in battle and caused by injuries, illness, etc., of which 30% were killed or injured, and illness; war horses lost 34,000.
Results of the battle: The heads of the Huns were more than 89,000, the heads of the civilians were more than 245,000, the heads of the civilians were 1.24 million cattle and sheep, and 230,000 horses. 23,000 surrendered to the Donghu army, 3,200 killed in battle with the army, and 143,000 civilians were returned to the army.
After reading these two battle reports, Fusu stood up, walked out the window, looked at the stars in the sky, and suddenly sighed sadly: "The battle results are brilliant, and the self-destruction is also severe. For the safety of the country and the nation, 50,000 Qin soldiers died among the green grass and yellow sand. It is so tragic!"
Lu Zhi held Xiao Yinghui, who could already say he could leave, and saw Fusu sadly, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be too sad! The soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are fearless and those who return without regrets. They can be called loyal and martyrs. As long as they have a strong sympathy for their families, that's it!"
Suddenly, Ying Hui opened her little hand and shouted, "Father, hug!" Looking at the cute Ying Hui, Fusu's face calmed down a lot. He gently took Ying Hui and said lovingly: "Little guy, for the sake of my Daqin's safety, 50,000 soldiers left majestic and returned tragically. They are the heroes of my Daqin. I hope that when you grow up, don't be a playboy, and you must also be a good man who stands tall and upright! Do you know?" As he said that, he gently scratched Ying Hui's pink little nose!
Ying Hui didn't know anything at all. She thought her father was playing with him, so she giggled and clapped her little hands to pull Fusu's short beard. Fusu immediately burst into pain, and almost got her tears pulled down by this little guy. It's really 'Young people are not afraid, and dare to pull the emperor off'!
Seeing this, Lu Zhi hurriedly carried Ying Hui back and coaxed him, "Look at you, why are you tugging your father's beard again? You're so disobedient. Be careful of your father's ass!" Fusu touched his chin, and he still felt a little painful. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Good boy, you are so strong, you really deserve to be my Qin family! Okay, grow up well, grow up quickly, and follow your father to expand the border thousands of miles in the future!" Lu Zhi said angrily: "Your Majesty, the child is still young, so you are thinking about letting him fight for the country! I don't agree. Hui'er has grown up and will stay by my side, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
Fusu said unhappily: "What are you saying? Qin Feng Shangwu, how can there be a weak person? If you keep Huier by your side, you will not have to destroy him! A real man should be a battlefield and roaring thousands of miles away, so that he will not be in vain for a fight! Not only Huier, Ze'er and others have grown up, I want them to go to the army to experience it. In the future, the royal family will form a family rule, and the descendants of future generations shall not change it. I don't want the descendants of my Ying family to be weak and bullied!"
When Lu Zhi heard this, he said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, although Hui'er is still young, I only have such a son. If I am a little surprised in the future, how can I live!" Fusu sighed: "Hui'er, although Ze'er and others are royal families, they are also Qin people, so they should also shoulder the responsibility of defending their families and the country. Even because they are royal families, they should charge forward. This is a mission they should bear innately! Zhi'er, think about it, you should be a mother who loves your children, but don't the mothers in the folk love their children?? My mother's heart is full of flesh!"
When Lu Zhi heard this, Fusu continued: "In fact, there is a saying that goes, 'The greater the power of a person, the greater the responsibility'. Born in the royal family, the great glory, but the responsibility that must be shoulders is also very heavy! Just like me, in times of crisis, we must have the courage and domineeringness to turn the tide! And the royal family who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun will not hand over the country's responsibility to him! If you consider this, is this the truth?"
When Lu Zhi heard this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have been taught! I will teach Hui'er well in the future, be a strange man who stands tall and strong, and never let him be a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun!" Fusu smiled and said: "It's good that you understand! Go, I still have some things to consider. Take Hui'er to the bedroom first!" Lu Zhi nodded and floated away!
Fusu stood up again, walked to the window, looked at the endless starry sky, and said in a daze: "Life is short, just like the flashing meteor! However, I must emit all the light and heat to illuminate the entire sky, so that future generations will always remember me and my Great Qin Empire!" As he said that, Fusu clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination!
Three days later, Xianyang, Qin State, outside the northern city.
The wind was cold and the flags were dancing wildly. Outside the huge city gate, hundreds of thousands of imperial guards were lined up in huge square formations, standing quietly in the cold wind. Although the cold was biting, no one was able to move at all. He was worthy of being the Iron Army of the Qin Dynasty with strict military discipline!
Fusu also carried his hands behind his back, straightened his back, and looked eagerly at the north. Behind him were hundreds of important civil and military officials in the court!
Today is the day when Meng Tian and Han Xin headed south from Jiuyuan to return to Xianyang to receive the commendation. They also came with the tablets of 50,000 heroic spirits and 100,000 imperial soldiers from the northern expedition!
Suddenly, a light cavalry from the north rushed along the spacious straight road and flew out of the horse and dismounted from the horse in front of Fusu for a hurry: "Report to Your Majesty, General Meng Tian, General Li Xin, and General Han Xin led his army five miles away, and you can arrive immediately!"
Fusu felt warm when he heard this and smiled and said, "Go! Tell them, I'm waiting for them here in person!" "Now!" The light cavalry turned over and galloped northward!
But for a moment, the flags in the north were flying, the sound of hooves rumbled, and a spirited triumphal army suddenly appeared on the horizon!
Fusu tightened his hands, glanced at the imperial guards beside him, and shouted: "The imperial guards, the triumphant warriors have returned! Remember your military song? Come, let us welcome these bloody warriors with the most majestic singing! Prepare and sing!"
In an instant, a majestic and sad singing rose into the air, filling the ancient Guanzhong land:
The wolf smoke rises
Looking northward
Dragon Raising Roll
The horse is neighing
Sword energy is like frost
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River
Who can resist in the past twenty years
Hate and desire crazy
The sword is aimed at
How many loyal souls of hands and feet are buried in other places
Why do you regret your family and country?
I feel speechless and bloody tears are everywhere
Horse hooves go south and people look north
Looking north
Green grass
Dust flying
I'm willing to defend my territory and open my borders again
China wants to make all sides
Come and congratulate
...
The passionate song was originally only stirring outside the city gate, but soon there was a resonance. The 100,000 Triumph Masters in the distance also sang this passionate military song that made them cry. Standing in time, the world was filled with huge and sad music talismans, as if the heaven and earth were changing color and the wind and clouds were moving. For a moment, everyone only felt the blood in their chests boiling violently, and there seemed to be a crystal clear thing flashing desperately in their eyes!
Bathed in the cold wind and singing heroic military songs, the 100,000 triumphant soldiers arrived outside the north gate. Far from afar, Meng Tian, Li Xin and Han Xin were the first to dismount, and the other cavalry were all dismounted, singing loudly, and strutting with a thrilling face!
"I will meet your majesty!" Meng Tian and the other three took the lead in bowing down, and then the 100,000 Triumph soldiers also bowed down one after another. In an instant, the majestic blacks in the world all fell down!
Fusu hurried forward and helped Meng Tian and the other two up, and said repeatedly: "It's good to come back! It's good to come back! Thank you all for your hard work!" Suddenly, Fusu saw the imperial guards walking in front holding a tablet in their hands, which was the Lielie loyal soul who died on the battlefield in the bloody battle in the northern border!
Fusu's eyes suddenly became hot, and tears couldn't help but burst into tears, and he shouted: "The civil and military ministers, the soldiers of the three armies, follow me to worship the loyal soul who died for the country!" As he said that, Fusu actually bowed to the ground, and then the civil and military ministers and the 100,000 imperial guards left behind also bowed down!
When the army was standing, there were crying in the army. It was the crying of the triumphal soldiers. "Hula" the returned soldiers who had just stood up bowed again, and there were sobbing: "Your Majesty, please get up!"
Meng Tian and others also hurriedly bowed and said anxiously: "Your Majesty asks you to go up, Your Majesty asks you to go up, but I really don't dare to take it!"
Fusu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up slowly, glanced at the 200,000 soldiers and ministers who were still kneeling in front of him, and shouted: "In theory, the emperor is supreme, and there is no reason to bow to anyone! But I want to say that these loyal souls who died in bloody battles for the country are the most noble people of our Great Qin. Without them sacrificed their lives and shed their blood for the country, there would be no strength of our Great Qin and the safety of the people. Therefore, I must bow. And this worship is not only for me, but for the 20 million people of the Great Qin to pay tribute to these dead heroes! At this time, I am the most ordinary member of the Great Qin, and there is nothing special about it!"
"Your Majesty!!" The soldiers who returned 100,000 were crying for a moment, but the excitement and pride in their hearts were noisy!
Fusu shouted: "Everyone, get up! Today is a happy day, why are you so sad? Look up and see what words are written on the north gate!" The soldiers wondered, and looked up and read the literate and softly said: "Kai——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
"Yes, Arc de Triomphe, these are three words written by me. From today on, the northern gate of Xianyang will be renamed the Arc de Triomphe! In the future, all soldiers who fought bloody battles for the country and returned triumphantly will enter Xianyang from this gate, and I will welcome you here every time! Heroes, cheer, this is an honor specially set for you!"
"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng!..." In an instant, the hundreds of thousands of triumphant soldiers were excited and shouted with great enthusiasm. For a moment, all of them were full of tears, their faces and ears were red!
Fusu raised his hands and signaled the soldiers to silence. The huge whistling sound quickly stopped. Fusu said in a deep voice: "This time you went to the northern border and achieved great success and results. I will reward you well, and the history books will also record a lot for you. At the same time, I will also establish a "Eternal Loyal Martyrs' Temple". From now on, all the Qin soldiers who died for the country will be worshipped and enjoy the court and the people's four sacrifices in a year. This is the unyielding soul of my country.
Commendation and compensation! Similarly, I will also set up the "Chinese Tribulation Hall". Those who treason for glory and backward will be worshipped. Not only will they be cursed by thousands of years, but I will also be expelled from the genealogy and nationality! My intention to do this is very clear, and I hope that our Qin Dynasty will only have warriors who died in bloody battles, but no cowards who are cowardly and surrender to the enemy! Well, I say so much, the warriors who return triumphantly, move forward, and accept the cheers of millions of Xianyang people through the Arc de Triomphe!"
"Qin Feng! Qin Feng! Qin Feng!..." The hundred thousand soldiers went out to war cheered loudly and lined up through the Arc de Triomphe in sequence. The city gathered in a crowd, and immediately let out a deafening cheer. The food and food place welcomed the soldiers who made meritorious service for the country and returned with honor!
On that day, Fusu will seize half of the soldiers and half of them in the national treasury. At the same time, the meritorious soldiers will be promoted or rewarded with heavy rewards, and the "military merits" will be awarded. Therefore, the three armies will be happy and excited, hoping to make new contributions!
After this battle, the Qin State's military and national strength were less damaged and were quickly compensated by strong basic strength; the total strength of the Huns dropped to 300,000 people, and the troops also dropped to 1.5 million. It was severely damaged and had to hand over the strategic initiative to Qin State; Yuezhi also fought less than 70,000 people in this battle and was severely damaged. At this point, the balance of war strength began to tilt strongly towards Qin State!
Three months later, the "Eternal Loyal Martyrs' Temple" was built, standing just next to the "Great Qin Hero Hall". The 50,000 soldiers who died in the Northern Expedition, regardless of their race, were all named, age, origin, and posts written. Fusu also personally led the royal family and civil and military ministers to hold grand ceremony and sacrificial robes and other harsh loyal souls!
At the same time, the Chinese Thief Hall was officially completed, and the first person to be worshipped was Zhao Sheng. Of course, Fusu did not forget to lead the royal family and ministers to express his contempt to this person! Especially after the temple was opened to the people soon, all the people of Qin despised Zhao Sheng, and the cast iron statue was destroyed every three or five months and was repeatedly recast!
At this point, under the influence of the strong martial style and the subtle influence of the "moral theory" loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, the military and civilians of Qin all thought that they had died for the country and were enshrined in the Great Qin Heroes Hall and the Eternal Martyrs' Temple. Once someone was enshrined in the China Thief Hall, their families and clans could not raise their heads in order to avoid being despised by the world and could not raise their heads, and they would never be buried in their ancestral land. Therefore, there were very few traitors in the Great Qin Dynasty!
